Chapter 114 A Brief Talk at the Banquet
As expected, when she announced it, everyone who heard it looked at her with strange eyes.
Male celebrities look at her like she's an idiot.
Female celebrities look at her with more envy, jealousy, and hatred. Only after these emotions have passed do they realize that she is arrogant and stupid.
There was little surprise in the way the two Wangs said to Aunt Xiao.
They all mingled in Beijing's elite circles and knew exactly who Aunt Xiao was.
Jack Feng was somewhat surprised, but quickly came to his senses.
After this minor incident, the banquet continued.
This time, the focus has shifted to Jack Feng.
There's no way around it, that's a billion US dollars, not RMB. Who wouldn't be envious of having such a large sum of money in their hands!
I was relieved to be out of the spotlight. Taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, I took my plate and went to a quiet corner where no one was watching, eating while watching the commotion.
After taking a few bites, I was surprised to find that Fatty Lin had become a hot topic. He was surrounded by several female celebrities who were asking him all sorts of questions.
Fatty Lin was enjoying this feeling, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he wouldn't be able to go back to the clinic tonight.
Among the people surrounding him, one was very famous and had a great physique.
That person's name is Li Wenxiu.
Li Wenxiu comes from an artistic family and won the Best Actress award when she was a teenager.
But this wasn't actually when Li Wenxiu was at her most famous. She became famous throughout the country more than ten years later when she went to a hair salon for a haircut.
In fact, Li Wenxiu was already famous in the industry a long time ago. She became famous not because of any honors she received, nor because she found a sugar daddy to rely on, but because she liked to try everything.
To put it bluntly, they're just very playful.
For example, if one of her best friends says that so-and-so is very capable and seems amazing, she will try her best to try it herself.
"Master Feng, could you please take my pulse?"
As I was watching Fatty Lin, thinking that he might be going to treat Li Wenxiu's body tonight, I suddenly heard a woman's voice.
I glanced to the side and saw it was Qiao Siyan.
At this time, Qiao Siyan was not yet famous and was a nobody at Huayi. It was only a few years later, when the famous Teddy Sisters group was formed, that she gradually became known to the public.
"Master Feng, I was previously cursed, and although it was eventually lifted, my health has never been very good!"
Seeing the questioning look in my eyes, Qiao Siyan quickly offered an explanation.
"Can!"
I nodded and asked, "You said you were cursed, where was it?"
As I asked, I scanned my surroundings, looking for Long Nier and Aunt Xiao.
A moment later, I saw the two of them. They were surrounded by several people and didn't notice me.
"I offended someone on Hong Kong Island!"
Qiao Siyan offered her hand and said.
"oh!"
I nodded, not asking who I had offended. It was just a pulse check; even if Long Nier saw it, she wouldn't say anything.
"Master Feng, do you like Dong Nianci?"
Before I could finish taking her pulse, Qiao Siyan suddenly asked this question.
Why do you say that?
I asked.
"I noticed you've been looking at her the whole time!" Qiao Siyan said.
Dong Nianci has been very popular in the past two years, especially for her role as the Goddess Dragon, which dominated the charts for a long time.
"Does looking at something mean you like it?" I looked at Qiao Siyan with a half-smile.
I wasn't looking at Dong Nianci, but at Long Nier. It was only because Dong Nianci was with Aunt Xiao and the others that I glanced at her a few more times, but I didn't expect her to misunderstand.
"Master Feng, that's not what I meant. I meant to say that Dong Nianci has a sugar daddy!" Qiao Siyan said.
"A sugar daddy?"
I laughed. "You seem to know a lot!"
"Master Feng, I'm known in the industry as a know-it-all. I know a lot of things!" Qiao Siyan said with a hint of boasting.
"Then tell me, who is Dong Nianci's sugar daddy?" I asked.
"Also surnamed Dong!"
Qiao Siyan blurted out, "Dong Nianci has had such good resources these past two years because of that sugar daddy!"
"What else do you know?" I asked.
"I also know that Huayi Brothers has had a tough year. Their artist management business was almost completely drained, and Qian Xiaogang even considered leaving. They're managing to keep the TV drama business afloat thanks to Zhang Dahuzi, but Zhang Dahuzi is no pushover either!"
Qiao Siyan answered without hesitation.
"You mean Qian Xiaogang is also thinking about leaving?" I was a little surprised.
"That's right!"
Qiao Siyan nodded and said, "Because of this incident, Boss Wang once smashed an ashtray, and Qian Xiaogang and Zhang Xiaolan wanted to go out and start their own business!"
"Why are you telling me all this?" I asked curiously.
Telling me about Dong Nianci could be considered a spur-of-the-moment thing, but Qian Xiaogang and Zhang Xiaolan's plan to go out on their own was a company secret, and she had absolutely no reason to tell me.
"Master Feng, you and Daoist Xuanjing have become very famous in the circle recently, with extensive connections. Mr. Feng just mentioned that you cured his son..."
"You want me to give you resources?" I interrupted.
"Master Feng, you have a wide network of connections and know many business owners. I don't ask you to introduce me to anyone particularly outstanding, I just ask that when those business owners have needs, you mention me!" Qiao Siyan said cautiously.
Seeing that I didn't interrupt, she continued, "Master Feng, I'm the gossip of the industry. I know almost everything that happens in the industry, big or small. For example, who has a sugar daddy, or who's keeping a mistress to get famous. Your main clients are all in our industry, so I can help you get referrals!"
"Our situation complements each other!"
Finally, Qiao Siyan added a sentence.
"You're quite the schemer!" I said with a smile.
"Master Feng, I have no sugar daddy or connections. If I want to survive in this industry, I can only rely on myself. I can't do it without scheming!" Qiao Siyan said bitterly.
"Okay, I'll introduce you to someone sometime!"
I stared at Qiao Siyan for a while, then nodded and said, "Then tell me, what news has been circulating in the industry lately?"
Hearing my agreement, Qiao Siyan's eyes lit up, and she said, "Master Feng, the hottest news in the circle these days is about Daoist Xuanjing!"
"Him?" I looked at Fatty Lin, who was being pestered by Li Wenxiu, and asked, somewhat surprised, "What news about him?"
"Master Feng, these past few days, the story of Master Xuanjing and Gong Ziyi has spread throughout the circle. Everyone says that Master Xuanjing has profound skills and is well-versed in the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic!" Qiao Siyan said.
After saying that, she glanced at Fatty Lin and said, "Li Wenxiu knows this, which is why she's been pestering Daoist Xuanjing!"
I was amused; it's true what they say, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast.
I never expected that the story of Fatty Lin and Gong Ziyi that night would spread throughout the industry.
Of course, this may not be a bad thing for Fatty Lin.
