Chapter 476: Have to Leave Temporarily due to Some Matters
But as the words reached her lips, she forcefully swallowed them down, transforming into a poised and elegant demeanor, “Then I’ll call the nanny car over, and we’ll get in touch by phone later.”
“Alright. Be safe on the road.”
Rong Weiwei, unable to tolerate it any longer, hung up the phone, finding his tone no different from before.
“Check, please!” Her mood was foul, and naturally so was her tone. After calling the waiter to settle the bill, she slapped one hundred yuan on the table and walked to the roadside to call for the nanny car.
Why had Rong Yan been inside for one or two hours without coming out?
Had she finally run into an unexpected person in Lin City only to come away empty-handed?
She was not willing to accept this. She was almost tempted to ask the front desk, but what was more important than finding out why Rong Yan had come to Lin City was attending the ZF celebration banquet tonight.
You see, Lin City was planning to invest in the production of a tribute film, and if she could successfully secure the project, she would be able to redeem herself from the embarrassment of being replaced by the famous director Stephen.
She had originally planned to take advantage of Qu Linjun’s visit to Hengtong to lend him a hand, thus owing him a favor, so he would support her in this endeavor.
Who would have thought that she would inexplicably offend him?
Fortunately, the director of the district wasn’t the only one to decide on the tribute film.
The specifics would depend on the mayor, and the mayor of Lin City had a deep relationship with the Shi Family. With Shi Mufeng’s introduction, she was still confident about securing the resources this time.
Of course, besides these, she also learned that many celebrities in the circle had heard rumors of the tribute film and expected that many would be seeking connections at the event tonight.
How she would stand out from the crowd and secure the resources was also the highlight of her evening.
Her nanny car was nearby. After getting into the car, Rong Weiwei didn’t rush to the venue but instead asked the driver to take her to a private makeup studio first.
She had mysteriously received a slap from that damned man earlier, and there was still a red mark on her face that hadn’t faded. There was no way she could attend the banquet with her face like that; she needed to find a makeup artist to reapply her makeup and use concealer to cover up any noticeable traces.
The banquet in Lin City this time wasn’t open to the public, but that didn’t mean the event lacked grandeur.
Apart from the red carpet segment not being public, the guest list was absolutely glittering with stars. Not only were there powerful celebrities with extensive connections,
but also several second-tier male and female celebrities who leaned on the support of one or two tycoons.
In the European-style banquet hall, guests with elegant shoulders and hairstyles mingled amidst a sea of beautiful dresses.
Waiters in tailcoats weaved through the crowd.
Since the real VIPs of the event hadn’t arrived yet, the early attendees greeted and networked with acquaintances.
Li Shengxiao, alongside Rong Yan, took a private route to enter.
The staff member leading the way stole a glance at Rong Yan and whispered something in the man’s ear.
Li Shengxiao’s brow furrowed, appearing somewhat displeased.
But he let go of Rong Yan’s hand and said to the young woman beside him, “I have something to take care of and will be right back. Wait here for me.”
“Sure.” Rong Yan seemed indifferent, her only concern was the pain in her ankle from wearing high heels, “I’ll just find a corner to drink some water. Hurry back, okay?”
“Yeah.” Li Shengxiao’s expression softened at the sight of her, his sternness melted into tenderness, “I’ll be as quick as I can!”
