Xi Yan replied, “When Zhou Xintang was interviewed, she didn’t say much either. She should be appearing last.”
Gu Mang lowered her eyelids as she nonchalantly shot a glance at the stage. Her gaze was unmoving for a few seconds before she retracted it.
…
When Xiao Han left the opera house, he met someone familiar.
“Xiao Han, why are you here?” The girl looked at him with surprise.
He laughed. “I could ask you the same thing.”
The girl lifted her chin. “The top two high schools in Ming City are jointly hosting the celebration so they invited me.”
Xiao Han breathed in. “So impressive? Top emcee, Ms. Ming Na, is actually hosting a celebration like this?”
“Cut the nonsense!” Ming Na chided him jokingly. “The students here are all pillars of the country’s future. Moreover, a stylist like you who only works for the top celebrities is here too.”
Xiao Han shrugged. “I’m here to help an old friend.”
The man’s phone rang again and it seemed like the other party was pretty anxious as they kept calling him.
“I still have something on. Let’s catch up another time,” he said apologetically.
Ming Na nodded. “Sure, go get busy.”
She frowned slightly as she watched Xiao Han leave in a hurry. She only agreed to host the event because the school invited her but Xiao Han was not invited by the school. Although there were child stars at Ming City High School and Experimental High School, they should not be that famous to be able to be friends with Xiao Han.
So who exactly had the ability to invite this man here and call him an ‘old friend’? Ming Na found it unbelievable as she headed in with her mind wandering.
…
In the afternoon the next day, the celebration started officially and the Ming City Opera House witnessed an unprecedented increase in activity. Big bosses in different fields attended and the parking area at the entrance was filled with lavish cars.
Principal Fu was standing at the entrance. A black BMW stopped in front of him. He approached it and opened the car door. Lu Shangjin alighted from the car.
“Director-General Lu, you’re here.” When Principal Fu heard that Lu Shangjin wanted to come, he was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. He replied respectfully, “It’s just a New Year’s party jointly hosted by the two schools.”
Lu Shangjin laughed. “These schools are the most highly regarded by Ming City’s education department. We’re here to give our greetings and encouragement to the students during a huge celebration like this. The university entrance exams are happening in less than 200 days.”
Principal Fu nodded. He led Lu Shangjin to the entrance and when he saw a group of men beside a stone pillar he was taken aback once again.
“Why is Young Master Lu here too?” Principal Fu looked at Lu Chengzhou who was standing with Gu Mang.
There were several others who he could not recognize but judging from their auras, they were definitely not average men. Lu Chengzhou had one hand in his pocket and was dressed in a black shirt with a tie. His suit was hanging on Gu Mang’s shoulders.
The two looked intimate.
Standing opposite of Gu Mang was President Tao Jing of the Designer Association.
There was another man in a floral shirt who was dressed in a flamboyant manner. He kept staring at Lu Chengzhou as though the man were not worthy of the girl. Lu Shangjin paused for a moment when he saw them. He was not the slightest bit surprised that Lu Chengzhou was here. However, why were Qin Fang, He Yidu, Jiang Shenyuan, and Qin Rui here too?
He walked up to them. “Gu Mang, Chengzhou.”
They greeted him when they saw him.
Lu Chengzhou replied tepidly, “Sixth Uncle.”
Gu Mang raised her exquisite eyebrows. “Uncle Lu.”
