Chapter 974: Even You Can Seek Connections. Why Can’t I?

Seeing that she looked mysterious, Lu Zhanbei didn’t ask anything further and lay on the bed.
At this moment, the mobile in Lin Wanwan’s hand rang again.
She looked at the caller ID and picked up the call with shock.
“Chairman Nie, is anything the matter?”
The caller was the chairman of the charity association. “Ms. Lin, the celebrity charity auction this year sent an invite to the association. I would like to invite you to represent us. This is a rare opportunity. Treat it as a reward for your philanthropic contributions.”
Lin Wanwan held her forehead.
What was it with her and this auction recently?
“I’ll thank the association and Chairman Nie, then.”
Although Lin Wanwan didn’t like to attend those high-profile occasions, it would seem unwise if she rejected it.
After hanging up the call, Lin Wanwan sighed. Lu Zhanbei raised his eyebrow at her troubled look. “You’re so resistant to take a look?”
Lin Wanwan looked bitter. “I’m not resistant. It’s because… I’m poor.”
She had donated 30 million dollars and bought two properties as investments. She was poor and worthless now. If she attended it, it would just be a formality. She might as well not attend.
Lu Zhanbei laughed and directly hinted at her, “As long as you service me well, I guarantee you won’t be poor.”
Lin Wanwan rolled her eyes at him and got off the bed. “I’ll head outside for a while.”
Lu Zhanbei looked at her back view and seemed to be deep in thought.
The days went past very quickly. On the day of the auction, Lin Wanwan didn’t go with Lu Zhanbei. Instead, she drove her car by herself.
The venue was a private manor. Under the illumination, it looked palatial. Lin Wanwan’s BMW was parked among a few limited edition luxury cars and seemed out of place.
The security personnel checked her invite and gestured a “please” with his hand.
Lin Wanwan entered slowly. The manor was similarly luxuriously decorated, and every accessory was valuable.
“Miss, the main hall is in front.”
“Thank you.”
Lin Wanwan was about to step in when she saw two familiar faces among the dozens of people.
“Second Sister?”
Lin Wanxin, who was seated on the third row, looked shocked. Then, she walked over with a welcoming smile.
Her greeting attracted other’s attention. Of note, when that Wei Wanwan, who was looking left and right, saw Lin Wanwan, her face turned ugly immediately. She walked over with her high heels.
“Second Sister, what are you doing here?”
“The charity association sent me here.”
Lin Wanxin nodded. She didn’t get the chance to speak more because Wei Wanwan said in a sharp voice, “Lin Wanwan, I really admire your shamelessness. First, you stepped on others’ successes. Then, you gained popularity by modeling. Now, you can even seek connections to attend such a high-end gathering.”
Lin Wanwan didn’t get annoyed. “Even you can seek connections. Why can’t I? Furthermore, I entered through an invite. It’s much stronger than Ms. Wei, who’s just an accessory.”
Since Ye Yuanting said that Wei Wanwan didn’t receive any invite, this meant that she’d entered via connections.
In terms of talking skills, ten Wei Wanwans wouldn’t be Lin Wanwan’s match.
Lin Wanxin smiled and changed the topic. “Second Sister, where are you seated?”
“The last row.”
“What a pity. I’m seated in the third row and can’t sit together with you.”
Lin Wanxin had just finished speaking when Wei Wanwan laughed coldly. “See that private room on the second floor? That’s where all the real big shots are. The further behind you are in the hall, the more lowly your status is. Lin Wanwan, even if you managed to enter, you are still not presentable!”
