The charity banquet organized by Star River Entertainment was held at the Ryder Hotel, which overlooked the entire city.
The well-dressed guests walked on the red carpet from the door to the elevator and arrived at the banquet hall on the top floor.
This time, other than those in the industry, there were also some outstanding people in the business world.
Most celebrities seemed to be here for charity, but they actually had their own motives.
They either wanted to make friends with directors or they wanted to marry into a rich family.
So…
The moment Pei Zhi arrived, he was targeted.
“Mr. Pei.” A beautiful woman walked up to him, holding her dress up.
She looked at him affectionately and said in a coquettish voice, “Can I have a drink with you?”
“No.”
Pei Zhi turned her down expressionlessly.
He picked up a glass of champagne from the table and turned to walk to Shen Yi before the woman could speak again.
This cold attitude did not make the other girls give up. Instead, they treated him as prey and waited quietly for an opportunity.
“President Pei, you’re really popular with women.” Shen Yi glanced at the women staring at Pei Zhi and smiled meaningfully.
“I don’t mind if you want any of them.”
“No, I’m good. I can’t handle that many.”
Pei Zhi sat down beside him. “You’ve never been in a relationship anyway. It’s not a bad idea to give it a try.”
“Even if I wanna give it a try, I won’t choose them.”
Shen Yi was not discriminating against the entertainment circle.
It was mainly because he didn’t want to watch his first girlfriend kissing others on the screen.
“Try what?” Chu Yuzhou walked over with curious eyes.
Shen Yi did not want to go over the conversation.
He looked at the water stain on his arm and changed the topic. “What happened to you?”
“Don’t mention it.” Chu Yuzhou pointed at the curly-haired woman on the right. “I just came in and she bumped into me.”
“Then she asked you for your WeChat and said that she’ll compensate you?”
“No, she said she would wash it for me.”
“Brilliant tactic.” Shen Yi did not expect someone to use such a trick these days. “Did you add her?”
“I’m not stupid.” Chu Yuzhou had been in a few relationships, so how could he fall for such a trick?
He wiped his arm with a wet tissue and looked around before asking Pei Zhi, “Brother Pei, where’s Lin Jiao?”
“Still on the way.”
“Why didn’t you pick her up?”
“She came with Pei Yilan.” Pei Zhi raised his wrist to look at the watch.
Chu Yuzhou nodded.
From where he was sitting, he could see the door clearly, so when he saw the two figures coming in, he quickly reminded Pei Zhi.
Under the bright light, a woman in a strapless dress slowly walked over. Her fair skin looked even fairer under the contrast of her high-quality black dress.
She looked around casually. When she found where Pei Zhi and the others were, her eyes lit up.
“President Pei, restrain yourself,” Shen Yi whispered under his breath before she could get close.
Only then did Pei Zhi stop smiling.
He patted the seat beside him and waited for her to sit down before throwing a glance at the men who were still staring fixedly at her.
Perhaps his warning gaze was too fierce, but in just a few seconds, the men all turned around and stopped looking at Lin Jiao.
“Uncle, when did you get here?” Pei Yilan, who had also dressed up, looked obedient in front of him.
“Not long.”
“Where’s Brother Yan?”
“I don’t know.” Pei Zhi picked up two glasses of juice and handed them to them. “Why are you looking for him?”
