Chapter 126 A Special Guest, Everyone is Terrified

"What about my senior brothers and sisters?" Chu Yan asked.

In the past, it was always the senior brothers and sisters who followed women around, attending countless top-notch banquets and receiving all kinds of preferential treatment.

My senior colleague even served as a judge at a film festival in Central Asia.

The senior brother's career is developing better than the senior sister's.

In the true inner circle of power, every banquet is a money game, and a single word from these people can change a person's fate.

The inner area of ​​a family banquet can be sealed off.

Even mid-level families in Central Continent are not qualified to temporarily add people.

“This banquet is even more important for you,” the woman said. “Make the most of this opportunity.”

She took on many students, and Chu Yan had the worst background, but her greatest strength was her high level of education. Her appearance and temperament were also not a disadvantage. Her acting skills were not superb, but there was room for improvement.

Bringing Chu Yan out will also expand her own network of contacts.

Her first rule for accepting students is academic qualifications. If she were to accept a student who graduated from the Intercontinental Union University, it would be a great honor for her.

Chu Yan realized that the woman wanted her and Yu Xuanchen to replace her senior brothers and sisters, and she was extremely excited.

She clenched her fingers to control herself, saying, "Thank you, teacher."

"Don't waste your time on someone like Jiang Li," the woman said calmly.

When Jiang Li was mentioned, the woman seemed to look down on him and frowned.

After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked out in a gorgeous and luxurious dress.

The birthday banquet was held at the Tianyin Hotel, in a two-story banquet hall overlooking the city's night view.

The woman stepped into the elevator and ran into an acquaintance.

"Teacher Luo Fei." The speaker was Meng Xiao, a currently popular and sought-after female celebrity. I had once seen her from afar at a top fashion event in Zhongzhou.

Meng Xiao's eyes were filled with excitement.

That fashion event was the most prestigious fashion event in the world, bar none.

Only two domestic artists have obtained tickets to the event, and she is one of them.

Lofi's ability to be surrounded and fawned over by countless people at such a star-studded event from various continents demonstrates her high status.

Meng Xiao suddenly noticed Chu Yan following behind Luo Fei.

Earlier, there were some unsubstantiated rumors that Chu Yan's connections extended directly to Zhongzhou, and that it was actually Luo Fei?
Despite Meng Xiao's enthusiastic greeting, Luo Fei remained silent, offering only a distant and indifferent nod, appearing unapproachable.

"Sister Meng Xiao," Chu Yan greeted politely.

Yu Guang noticed that the invitation in Meng Xiao's hand was the same as the one the Yu family had received; it was for the outer area.

Female celebrities as popular as Meng Xiao are few and far between in the entire entertainment industry; even she can only get minor roles.

Chu Yan straightened her back as she thought about being able to enter the inner area with Luo Fei.

The inner area is a circle that countless people can't squeeze into.

Meng Xiao has gotten to where she is today because she is very good at reading people and situations.

She had heard from friends in the industry that Chu Yan was going to act in a low-budget web series, and she thought Chu Yan was going to completely fade into obscurity.

In retrospect, web series may just be a way to salvage their reputation.

With Luo Fei as her backer, the previous negative public opinion had no impact on Chu Yan's future resources.

Thinking of this, Meng Xiao chatted enthusiastically with Chu Yan, praising her beautiful makeup and jewelry. Then, noticing her hairstyle, she asked, "Why did you suddenly cut your bangs?"

Chu Yan's forehead injury hadn't healed yet, and she didn't want to miss the banquet, so she could only cover it with her hair.

She smiled and said, "Let's try a different style."

"You know what, this suits you really well, it looks great." Meng Xiao praised her again and said affectionately, "Yan Yan, let's take a picture together in a bit."

Chu Yan replied politely and gently, "Okay, Sister Meng Xiao."

Lofi remained standing aloof in front of the two, without uttering a word.

The elevator stopped, and several people stepped out to find themselves in a banquet reception area decorated in a Chinese style.

Meng Xiao saw several CEOs of top media companies in the industry, clutched the invitations she had worked so hard to obtain, and walked quickly over in her high heels, smiling and greeting the CEOs warmly.

Countless people also came to greet Lofi.

When members of the Zhongzhou family come to Beicheng, everyone fawns over them.

Someone who didn't recognize Chu Yan asked, "Sister Fei, who are these two?"

Luo Fei smiled slightly: "My youngest student, Chu Yan, is very talented. And her fiancé, Yu Xuanchen."

Yu Xuanchen didn't recognize all the people surrounding Luo Fei, but he had seen a few faces at business parties, all of whom held high positions of power and were very wealthy.

Yu Xuanchen greeted the group with humility and politeness.

The others understood that Chu Yan was the next person Luo Fei was going to promote, and their gazes towards Chu Yan immediately changed: "Miss Chu has a bright future."

One by one, they took the initiative to exchange business cards with Chu Yan and Yu Xuanchen and add each other's contact information.

Yu Xuanchen then realized how much benefit Chu Yan had brought him.

What's in ginger?
It is crude and vulgar; even if Master Rong values ​​it, it will not go far.

Just then, another elevator arrived with a ding, and the doors opened.

Someone suddenly caught sight of the person coming out, their voice abruptly stopped, and then a series of gazes turned towards them.

Jiang Li has long, slightly wavy hair, refined and beautiful features, a black leather trench coat with a belt, and red-soled black stilettos. Her exposed calves are long and shapely, and her skin is so white it seems to glow.

He had a long, thin black painting tube hanging on his shoulder.

The reception area was quiet for a few seconds.

Disgust was clearly visible on each perfectly made-up and beautiful face.

"Why is it her?"

"She's not someone who can attend such a high-class banquet?"

"Sister?" Chu Yan looked at Jiang Li in surprise. "Why are you here?"

Jiang Li curled her lips into a sarcastic and cold smile. "You call everyone 'sister,' are you that familiar with them?"

Chu Yan pursed her lips, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Luo Fei frowned in displeasure. Meng Xiao noticed Luo Fei's expression out of the corner of her eye and said with a smile, "Miss Jiang, there's no need to be so harsh and sharp in your words."

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly. "Not only am I mean and ill-mannered, but I also know a little bit of martial arts. Since you like meddling in other people's business so much, would you mind giving it a try?"

Meng Xiao's expression tightened.

She's an insider, so she's naturally very familiar with Jiang Li's unorthodox methods.

But seeing so many people around her gave her confidence.

She didn't believe Jiang Li would dare to make a move here.

Besides, her status is not something Jiang Li can afford to offend.

When she spoke again, Meng Xiao's tone was even more impolite: "Miss Jiang, we are all here to attend Elder Feng's birthday banquet. There is no need to be so confrontational and ruin the atmosphere of the banquet."

Jiang Li's phone vibrated; it was a message from Feng Yi asking where she was.

She pressed the screen: [Welcome Area.]

Meng Xiao glanced at Jiang Li's hands.

Everyone present held an invitation, whether inside or outside the venue; the invitation was a symbol of status.

But Jiang Li had nothing in her hands.

Meng Xiao asked with a smile, "Did Miss Jiang forget to bring her invitation?"

"What do you mean you forgot to bring it? I bet you didn't. You're trying to sneak in," one person said sarcastically.

"Ha, does this mean just anyone can sneak into the Feng family's banquet?"

"Yeah, what are you treating this like? Where are the Feng family members? Those without invitations shouldn't be making a fool of themselves here."

……

The banquet hall lounge is extremely spacious.

The patriarchs of the four great families of Qin, Wen, Xie, and Feng were all present, along with the heads of the powerful families who were affiliated with these families.

Feng Yi, as the host, was entertaining the younger members of the other families.

At this moment, Feng Hong walked over and asked, "Are you sure you don't need to send a car to pick up Miss Jiang?"

Of the entire family, only Feng Yi could contact Jiang Li.

“Sister Jiang Li said she’ll be there soon.” Feng Yi had just finished speaking when he received a message from Jiang Li and immediately said, “Dad, Sister Jiang Li has arrived at the reception area. I’m going out to meet her.”

"Wait a minute." Feng Hong called Madam Feng over. "Let's go out with Yi Yi to meet Miss Jiang."

Feng Hong didn't know much about Jiang Li.

Jiang Li always carries an inexplicable air of mystery about him.

The young master of the Xu family, who works in the Narcotics Control Bureau, stood up for her.

The young master of the Qin family is usually cold and aloof, and extremely difficult to approach, yet he has repeatedly protected Jiang Li.

It's really abnormal.

In particular, Master Rong also had a very special feeling for Jiang Li, and Feng Hong had unwavering faith in Master Rong's judgment of people.

In short, Jiang Li is someone worth making the effort to befriend.

If you intend to make friends, you should show sufficient sincerity.

As soon as they stepped out of the inner area, they saw Butler Feng.

Feng Hong frowned: "I told you to wait for Miss Jiang at the door."

Butler Feng said respectfully, "Some minor matters just occurred, and I went to handle them."

Things at the banquet are unpredictable, so saying anything more now would be superfluous.

Feng Hong and his wife, Feng Yi, greeted the guests as they walked quickly outside.

……

Welcome area.

Meng Xiao said gracefully, "It's alright if Miss Jiang didn't bring an invitation. Jiang Li is Sister Chu Yan. Just have Chu Yan take her in."

"Didn't she just say she wasn't familiar with Chu Yan? If she has any backbone, she shouldn't beg Chu Yan," someone said.

Meng Xiao looked at Jiang Li: "Miss Jiang, if you really want to attend the banquet, you should apologize to Yan Yan. What you said just now was really hurtful. If you want her to help you, you should at least show some respect."

Jiang Li slowly curled the corners of her lips, "If you don't understand my attitude, you can all get out of here."

Meng Xiao's eyes darkened, and her smile turned cold: "Miss Jiang's bad reputation is probably mainly because she can't control her mouth."

"Some people lack manners, don't understand etiquette, and their behavior is utterly uncouth. They are truly inferior to Miss Chu in every way. No wonder they are so eager to use Miss Chu's background, which she cannot control, to suppress her."

With Luo Fei around, almost everyone was speaking up for Chu Yan.

"Miss Chu's brother is several years older than Jiang Li. It's hard to say who stole her love right now."

Jiang Li narrowed her eyes, a cold glint flashing in them.

"Even with all the suppression, it's Teacher Luo Fei who brings Miss Chu into the inner area now. She can't even get an invitation. It's a joke."

"Yes, to wear clothes like that, they actually have the courage to show up here." Everyone present was dressed extravagantly and adorned with jewels.

"I wonder what they're still doing here?"

At this moment, someone suddenly looked towards the entrance of the banquet hall and then sneered, "Butler Feng is here. Let him kick them out. Don't disturb everyone's mood for celebrating Old Master Feng's birthday."

The others glanced at Jiang Li as if watching a good show.

"Sister Jiang Li." Feng Yi suddenly ran out first and went to Jiang Li's side.

Everyone present stiffened slightly.

Feng Yi's gaze swept coldly over the group of people who had just been speaking rudely.

She heard it all.

"Miss Jiang, I'm so sorry for not greeting you sooner." Feng Hong was polite and respectful, raising his hand.

Jiang Li shook hands with him lightly, politely but not distantly: "Mr. Feng, you're too kind."

Madam Feng showed great courtesy, saying, "Miss Jiang is a distinguished guest specially invited by my father, so it's only right."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone's expression changed drastically, filled with fear and apprehension.

Thank you for your support.
