Compared to Jian Chenxi’s bursting with competitiveness, Ling Momo was actually quite calm and composed. She had never dreamt of an overnight success.
Her new album achieving such great results had already far exceeded Ling Momo’s expectations.
Deep down, she was clearly aware of the gap between herself and Chen Wanru—a music industry prodigy forged over ten years and not someone a newcomer like her could compare with!
Therefore, in Ling Momo’s heart, she silently supported the idea of Chen Wanru continuing to hold onto the top spot as the queen of the music industry.
As the end of the year approached, various banquets became increasingly frequent, and with ES’s excellent performance, a celebration banquet was naturally necessary.
Thus, the date was set for November 22.
On that day, ES’s stars gathered in full.
Chen Wanru continued to adopt a domineering, mature woman’s style; her makeup was bold with bright reds and greens, and she wore a black dress. Her hair was arrogantly swept up, and upon entering the banquet, she immediately made her formidable presence felt.
Jian Chenxi still favored the gentle and graceful, fresh style, dressed in a floor-length red gown, she walked in holding Lu Niange’s arm with a beaming smile and unhurried steps, attracting countless sideways glances. Her exquisite face, further enhanced by makeup, was indeed a pleasure to behold.
Ling Momo, on the other hand, arrived with a bare face. She happened to be on her period, which had been irregular ever since she climbed a snowy mountain, and she felt somewhat unwell with a slightly pale face. She was already lethargic, and she couldn’t wear those body-hugging dresses; otherwise, the sanitary pad and underwear would leave visible lines. Hence, Ling Momo chose to wear a rather simple and loose outfit.
As a result, her entrance did not attract much attention due to her attire, which Ling Momo found rather peaceful. For original chapters go to novel-fire.net
Li Qingshen was busy tonight and did not attend.
Although it was called ES Music & Entertainment Company’s celebration banquet, it was also an internal award ceremony. Chen Wanru sat in the second row and, upon seeing Ling Momo enter, waved at her. Ling Momo walked straight over to Chen Wanru and sat beside her.
The two naturally exchanged some pleasantries.
As they were speaking, two people approached from the front, a man, and a woman—Lu Niange and Jian Chenxi.
Lu Niange was dressed in a black suit with a white shirt, no tie, and a smile on his mild yet handsome face. At his side was the beautiful Jian Chenxi, whose red gown stood out like a flame; she held tightly to Lu Niange’s arm and walked directly toward the seats in front of Chen Wanru and Ling Momo.
Jian Chenxi sat down quite openly, but Lu Niange, upon seeing Ling Momo, was noticeably stunned. His previously smiling lips suddenly hardened, his mouth pressed tightly together as his eyes intently focused on Ling Momo, flickering with an indecipherable light.
Jian Chenxi saw that Lu Niange had yet to sit down and turned with a gentle smile, softly saying, "Niange, take a seat..."
Then she noticed Ling Momo and Chen Wanru.
She also realized that Lu Niange’s gaze was fixed on Ling Momo.
Jian Chenxi’s face immediately paled slightly, and resentment stirred faintly in her heart, but she still managed to force a smile and greeted them, "Sister Chen, Miss Ling."
