But thinking of the reason he brought Rong Yan, he forcefully suppressed the displeasure throbbing in his chest.
“…Take good care of her.”
Rong Yan could hear the displeasure in his voice and pursed her lips, saying, “Li Shengxiao, maybe we should just forget it. I’ve just started, and knowing so many people isn’t helpful. Let’s just go back.”
Her abilities hadn’t reached that level yet, and even if she met many connections, they wouldn’t likely use a newcomer.
“It’s precisely because you’ve just started that you need to meet more people. Otherwise, how will they even know who you are to give you opportunities?” Cui Jiangjing forcefully pushed her inside, “Come on, he thinks so too, otherwise he wouldn’t have brought you here. He even cancelled his schedule tonight just to bring you; do you really want to let down Shengxiao’s kind intentions?”
Rong Yan was forcefully pushed into the villa.
Once inside, she realized it was a high-end private party with attendees dressing mostly in formal attire. And each one of them was a big name in the entertainment industry!
For example, the tall, blond-haired, blue-eyed beauty that Rong Yan recognized had won the Golden Bear Award.
Beyond her, she saw top-tier producers, directors, and production people. It was so star-studded, it could have been a red-carpet event.
As she burst in, everyone’s gaze immediately fell on her.
“Haha, sorry, I stepped out to meet a friend.” Leading her in, Cui Jiangjing took two glasses of champagne from a waiter, gave one to Rong Yan, held the other, and led her over to a group of people.
He pushed her forward towards everyone and naturally introduced her, “Rong Yan, my friend. She hasn’t debuted long and plans to release a new song soon.
Please take care of her in the future.’
“Singer?” One of the female producers seemed a bit interested in Rong Yan and curiously looked at her to ask Cui Jiangjing, “What can she do?”
Just as Cui Jiangjing was about to act as a temporary agent and introduce her, Rong Yan answered the woman’s question in fluent English before he could speak.
She conducted herself with ease and modesty, neither too humble nor too proud, and her fluent English successfully captured the woman producer’s attention.
The female producer fired several questions at her and even set down her champagne glass to lead Rong Yan to a piano nearby, asking her to play a few notes.
An impressive rendition of “To Alice” won over the female producer completely. Her eyes lit up as she clapped her hands and exclaimed, “Oh, dear.
Cui Jiangjing had announced her name to everyone when he arrived, and yet she was being asked for her name again, which showed that when Cui Jiangjing had introduced her, the others clearly hadn’t paid any attention.
“Rong Yan.” Without a hint of embarrassment, she calmly repeated her name once more.
“Rong… Yan…” The big-time producer rolled his tongue, seriously repeating after her. His eyes and brow relaxed, “OK, I’ve got it.”
Cui Jiangjing watched as she gradually started to chat with a few producers, conversations becoming so lively they were nearly regretting not having met sooner. He suddenly felt like he was somewhat superfluous…
Wasn’t it agreed that he would help introduce her to this circle?
In fact, Rong Yan never needed him from beginning to end! Her London accent was so fluent it almost seemed better than his!
Feeling rather deflated, he slumped his head and wandered to a quiet corner by the sofa.
On the sofa, Fu Yi was sitting on one side, looking every bit the gentleman, while Li Shengxiao occupied the other, leaving no space for him. He squeezed in next to Fu Yi on a spot roughly the size of a palm, dejectedly raised his glass, and clinked it with the tall and handsome man, “Not to talk out of turn, but your wife is incredibly impressive. She’s left me with no room to show off.
He complimented Rong Yan, which seemed more effective than complimenting Li Shengxiao himself. Li Shengxiao raised his glass to clink with his, then downed it in one go.
Cui Jiangjing poured him another glass, then glanced over at Rong Yan with a bit of confusion, “How does she manage to fit in so naturally and comfortably with others in such a short time?”
