“A few people from Qinghe Entertainment will be here today. Just to clarify, I didn’t invite them.
They knew about today’s celebratory banquet and volunteered…”
Jiang Xu had a thought, “You mean Zhou Qingyue will be here, right?”
“Yes,” Wang Xiaoyuan nodded slightly and then looked nervously at Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo.
Jiang Xu chuckled, “Let her come. She won’t eat us.”
“Unless under special circumstances…” Jiang Xu mumbled to himself.
That’s good,” sighed Wang Xiaoyuan, “I’ll go collect the staff’s phones first.
You guys should hurry up and come inside. The venue is on the twenty-third floor, hurry up.”
With that, she turned and left.
Jiang Xu called after her, “Sister Xiaoyuan, please don’t make me give a speech or anything.”
He hated doing that and he also hated listening to long speeches.
Like when someone starts with, “I’ll be brief,” and then goes on forever about the key to the problem being finding the key problem…
And just like that, several hours would pass.
“Got it,” Wang Xiaoyuan replied without turning her head.
Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo then stepped out of the car.
There was a doorman at the hotel, so they handed him the car keys.
An Nuonuo wore a mask, following Jiang Xu closely. She didn’t stray even an inch away from him.
This kind of occasion was somewhat stressful for her.
Jiang Xu patted her on the back of her hand, “Don’t be scared. The women in there either aren’t as rich and good-looking as you, or they’re not as young and mature as you. As for being better looking than you… that’s impossible.” “Okay, I’m not nervous anymore,” An Nuonuo nodded obediently, with a twinkle in her eyes.
They reached the twenty-third floor.
As the elevator doors opened, they were met with a wave of noise.
Basically all of Qunxing Entertainment’s staff were present.
The incredibly success of this TV show held significant importance for the company.
That’s why everyone was invited for the celebration.
Wang Xiaoyuan had booked the entire floor of the hotel.
A staff member stood by the elevator door.
Upon spotting Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo, she handed them two lottery tickets, “These are your raffle numbers. The grand prize for tonight is a solid gold Buddha carving weighing one kilogram. Good luck.”
Jiang Xu took the tickets. The numbers were 66 and 25.
In the center of the hall was a buffet filled with various kinds of food.
Jiang Xu told An Nuonuo, “Stay in the corner, I’ll go get the food. Let’s eat a bit first.”
“Okay.”
Nuonuo obediently followed Jiang Xu’s instructions.
Other than socializing and discussing business deals, this event was mostly about eating and drinking for Jiang Xu.
He guessed there would be other activities later on.
After spending so much time together, Jiang Xu knew exactly what An Nuonuo liked to eat.
The selection was rather varied.
Jiang Xu grabbed a plate and filled it with a huge Australian lobster and two crabs.
He set the plate to the side, got another plate, and filled it with fruits and desserts.
Carrying both plates, he walked over to the corner.
No one else around them seemed to notice.
An Nuonuo removed her mask, revealing her face that was even more stunning than any fairy’s.
She first cracked open the lobster shell.
She cut small pieces off of one half of the lobster with a small knife and put them in An Nuonuo’s bowl.
Then Jiang Xu picked up the other half and began feasting.
The meat was juicy and, when dipped in sauce, extremely delicious.
The two of them blended into the background, enjoying their food and drinks.
After a while, Wang Xiaoyuan stepped onto the stage.
She picked up the microphone and gave a quick thank you speech.
Then, she introduced the guests of honor, “Tonight we have some special guests visiting. Two directors from Qinghe Entertainment – Miss Liu Yue and Miss Chen Xueyi – and rising star Zhou Qingyue, who has been gaining more and more attention recently. Let’s give them a warm round of applause.” The audience broke out into enthusiastic applause as the three women made their way to the stage.
That evening, all three of them were dressed to the nines, looking absolutely glamorous.
Chen Xueyi and Zhou Qingyue, in particular, stood out.
Both women were breathtakingly beautiful…
“Wow, it’s Chen Xueyi! I love the dramas she’s in.” An Nuonuo’s eyes sparkled,
She’s so beautiful. Zhou is also pretty.”
Jiang Xu said, “There may be countless women in this world, but none of them can compare to you, Nuonuo.”
Immediately Zhang Qingyue’s face turned red.
This kind of cheesy line proved to be a bit too much for her to handle.
Jiang Xu loved seeing An Nuonuo’s blush.
Her bashful and endearing expressions mixed with a touch of confusion were just too cute.
‘You… you should eat some fruit…”
In order to change the subject, An Nuonuo quickly pushed a piece of apple toward Jiang Xu.
“Mmm, it’s so sweet,” Jiang Xu took a bite and said with a smile, “Thanks, Nuonuo. I’ll repay you in the future.”
“There’s no need, it’s nothing.”
“No, I always repay my debts.”
With the appearance of Chen Xueyi and Zhou Qingyue, the venue erupted into a short frenzy.
Then Wang Xiaoyuan invited Zhou Qingyue onto the stage for the raffle drawing.
Zhou Qingyue was wearing a deep blue evening gown and a pair of crystal shoes.
Her long hair was elegantly pinned up and she carried herself with the grace of a future leading lady.
Upon stepping onstage, she quickly scanned the room with her gaze.
She soon discovered Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo in the corner of the room and quickly averted her gaze.
One of the staff members brought a large box onstage and placed it in front of Zhou Qingyue.
Wang Xiaoyuan stood by her side. The two girls standing together made quite an appealing sight.
They were evenly matched in looks, but Zhou Qingyue had the advantages of youth and double the attention, which gave her the edge…
Wang Xiaoyuan spoke into the microphone, “We have several prizes tonight, including a first, second, and third prize, as well as twenty smaller, joy prizes.
The grand prize is a pure gold Buddha carving worth two hundred thousand yuan.
The second prize is a car worth one hundred thousand yuan.
The third prize is fifty thousand in cash.
The joy prizes are two thousand yuan red envelopes.
For those who don’t win anything, we will be giving out five hundred yuan red envelopes to each attendee when they leave.
We will now begin drawing for the joy prizes…”
Jiang Xu nodded in approval.
Wang Xiaoyuan had done well organizing the event, taking everyone’s feelings into consideration.
The actual costs weren’t that high, but it made everyone feel valued and happy.
Suddenly, it was time for the grand prize.
“The grand prize goes to… number 66. Whoever holds number 66, please come
to the stage to collect your prize.”
Jiang Xu, who was in the middle of eating, was stunned.
Had he won?
He quickly pulled out a few napkins to wipe his hands and mouth and then got up to walk towards the stage.
Nice, you have good luck,” Wang Xiaoyuan commented quietly after she stepped away from the microphone.
“Sister Xiaoyuan, did you rig this lottery for me?” Jiang Xu joked.
Wang Xiaoyuan just rolled her eyes at him.
Jiang Xu handed his ticket to Zhou Qingyue.
After checking it, she nodded and accepted a twenty-centimeter high golden
Buddha carving handed to her by a staff member.
She then handed it to Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu took it and was about to step away when he realized Zhou Qingyue was still firmly grasping the carving.
Jiang Xu narrowed his eyes.
Little sis, are you trying to cause trouble for me?
Zhou Qingyue moved her lips slightly and said in a voice only the two of them
could hear, “I have some information for you..”
