Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 255 Oda's Question

In the bar hall, colorful lights flickered, glasses clinked, and the aroma of wine overflowed from the colliding glasses and drifted among the noisy crowd.

Soothing and melodious music rang in people's ears and floated gently in the wide and deep space, where the fragrance of flowers and the dazzling shadows of celebrities gathered.

Handsome men and women, holding wine glasses in their hands, greeted each other in groups of three or five, their smiles as beautiful as flowers, their cheerful voices were heard, and they all had bright smiles on their faces.

The man has a majestic figure and the woman is charming. They are each moving through the crowd, and their eyes are dazzling.

Not only are there various celebrities participating in the Starlight Awards, but also representatives from some of Penguin's partner companies are also involved.

"Boom"

Tian Xiwei drank the freshly prepared cocktail in the glass in one gulp, and her slightly tipsy face was already tinged with a layer of pink.

She couldn't understand why it suddenly became like this.

Since when did I become just one of the people in Lin Li's heart?

Thinking of the scenes from the time she met Lin Li until now, she felt indescribable discomfort, and her heart felt stuffy and she couldn't breathe.

Chen Duling was right. Of course she had noticed it, but she just had been unwilling to face the reality.

Now, she had to face it.

Chen Duling was right about one thing. She couldn't deceive herself any more and had to make things clear with Lin Li.

Just thinking about the possible results, she felt a little hesitant.

She believed that Lin Li liked her and could feel how much he doted on her, but she was not sure that Lin Li would give up other people for her.

Not to mention others, just Chen Duling, she had no confidence that Lin Li would give up on her.

However, she still wanted to take a look. She wanted to see what position she held in Lin Li's heart.

Perhaps, I still have extravagant hopes.

An hour into the cocktail party, the atmosphere became increasingly heated, but the real big shots did not show up. Many guests frequently cast their eyes towards the VIP room. They naturally knew that the people they wanted to meet were there.

At this time, many female stars in the venue have already started to show their charm, either gently twisting their slender and curvy bodies to the dynamic music of the bar, or finding some big shot, director, or investor to chat enthusiastically, and from time to time they shyly cover their mouths and their eyes move because of the other party's words.

The male stars are also busy. They either find the female stars they are interested in and approach them to chat and show their affection, or like the female stars, look for suitable sponsors.

Except for a few superstars at the top of the pyramid, who shine brightly in front of the public, here they are just promoting themselves in a different occasion.

At the bar counter, Yang Mi twisted her body to sit next to Reba, who was drinking alone, and leaned close to her ear with a gossipy look on her face.

"What? Are you deflated?"

Reba glanced at her expressionlessly, said nothing, and took another sip of wine from the glass.

Yang Mi covered her mouth and laughed: "I told you a long time ago that you should not take your current achievements too seriously. Haven't you seen what happened tonight? Our achievements are nothing in front of him."

"Think about it. You can't even handle Chen Duling right now, and you still want to take over and push away all those girls?"

"I advise you not to have those unrealistic fantasies anymore."

"You only need to consider one thing now. If you want to take your relationship with him to the next level, can you tolerate having other people around him?"

Yang Mi gently shook the red wine glass in her hand, and stared at Reba in front of her with a pair of fox eyes, who had a complicated expression.

She knew that Reba had always been proud of herself, but as someone who had experienced it, she knew very well that their fame was not worth showing off in front of someone like Lin Li, and it could not be used as an asset.

At best, it would just provide him with a greater sense of conquest during the process of getting along.

She was about to continue persuading when she heard a commotion not far away. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw several people talking and laughing walking out from the direction of the VIP room.

The most important thing is that when she took a quick look, she found that those familiar unfamiliar faces were, without exception, people they needed to look up to.

The young figure among them appears both abrupt and harmonious.

Lin Li was smiling and saying something. With him at the center, many bigwigs who were often seen on TV news formed an irregular circle.

Especially Liu Qiangdong next to him, who looked at him sideways with an expression of slight surprise and seeming a little admiration on his face.

The word "dazzling" seems insufficient to describe how dazzling he is at this moment.

"Eh"

Yang Mi touched Reba's shoulder and motioned her to look over.

Reba put down the wine glass, turned her head in confusion, then her brown eyes suddenly widened and her little mouth opened slightly.

In addition to them, Chen Duling, Zhang Ruonan and others also looked dazed as they watched the scene in front of them.

Although I have seen similar scenes on hot searches during the Renmin University’s anniversary celebrations, the feeling is completely different when those top bosses who often appear in financial news appear in front of me.

What's more, the person chatting and laughing with them is the one dearest to his heart.

This shock seemed to be contagious, and the bar with nearly 200 people fell into a brief silence.

Everyone knows that the young figure is very powerful, has a special identity and a very high social status.

But knowing it is one thing, but when I saw him actually standing among those people at the top of the pyramid, chatting and laughing with them, I felt it for real.

The actresses looked towards the group of big guys with their eyes moving, ready to pounce on them.

However, more people focused their attention on Lin Li. After all, the young Lin Li had more possibilities both in terms of appearance and future potential.

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused here, Sun Zhonghuai, the initiator, stepped forward, took the red wine from the waiter's tray, and looked around.

"Thank you all for participating in our Penguin Star Awards today. You have all worked hard. Here, on behalf of Penguin Video, I would like to offer a toast to you all."

"Please!" Sun Zhonghuai raised his glass, gestured to everyone, and took a sip.

"Please, Mr. Sun!"

There was a uniform response from the audience, and everyone was very active in raising their glasses and drinking together.

Lin Li stood aside and glanced at everyone in the field, but his gaze stopped on Oda's face.

He noticed something was wrong. Oda stared at him expressionlessly, with anger in his eyes?
His thoughts turned, and he glanced at Reba, who had an unmoved expression on her face, at the bar. Then he turned to Dudu, who had a faint smile on her face, and he had a rough idea in his mind.

After a moment of hesitation, he put his arm around Liu Qiangdong's shoulders and whispered something to him.

Many people in the venue noticed that Lin Li said something to the person who held Jingdong. Then they saw that person cast his eyes somewhere in the venue, and then said something to Lin Li with a teasing look on his face.

Lin Li behaved in a very calm and composed manner, with a smile on his face.

Following the direction the two people were looking from time to time, everyone looked over there. That was... Tian Xiwei?

Sure enough, everyone found that Lin Li had left the circle that they did not dare to approach easily, and walked straight towards Tian Xiwei.

As Lin Li walked away, Sun Zhonghuai, who had shown his face before, led a group of bigwigs back to the VIP room, leaving some people who were eager to make progress to look away in disappointment.

Tian Xiwei, who was sitting in the corner, was happy when she saw Lin Li coming over, but her face was cold and she turned away with a pout.

She was certainly fascinated by Lin Li, who was surrounded by so many big guys just now, but on second thought, the more outstanding Lin Li was, the angrier she would be, because he was not hers alone!
"Hey, who made our Xiaotian angry? His mouth is so pouty that he can be a burden."

Lin Li moved and sat next to Tian Xiwei without any hesitation.

He glanced at Li Hongyi, Wang Jiaer and others who were sitting not far away, and they quickly walked away tactfully.

At this time, Lin Li had taken off the gray coat and put on a gray high-necked top. There was a faint smile on the corner of his lips, and his whole temperament was elegant and gentle.

Tian Xiwei moved her eyes, then sat back a little, not looking at him.

"Xiaotian, what happened? Who made you angry? Tell me and I will help you vent your anger."

Lin Li put on an arrogant look, as if he was ready to attack at any time.

"you!"

Tian Xiwei didn't even look at him and said something coldly.

"Me? How did I offend you again? You mean the dress? If you're not happy, we won't buy it."

Lin Li smiled and started to make jokes.

"I don't want to beat around the bush with you. Let me ask you, what is your relationship with Chen Duling?"

Tian Xiwei turned around and stared at Lin Li in front of her with an expressionless face. She gripped the sofa seat tightly with both hands and sank into it.

Lin Li restrained the smile on his face and glanced at Dudu who was swaying slightly to the music not far away, confirming his guess.

He knew that some things would eventually become unmasked, but he didn't expect that day to come so soon.

"What did Dudu talk to you about?"

Lin Li still wanted to confirm it.

"I asked her on my own initiative. It doesn't matter. You just need to answer my question."

Tian Xiwei looked directly at Lin Li, her tone stiff.

Lin Li felt relieved, at least Dudu didn't say these things to Xiaotian on purpose.

At this point, I can only face it calmly.

Thinking of this, he stared at Tian Xiwei in front of him and spoke solemnly.

"Dudu is the same person as you, we are both people I like, and we are indeed together."

After getting the expected answer, Tian Xiwei completely gave up and her face turned pale.

"Heh... How could you say such shameless words?"

"They are all your favorites! Then let me ask you, what about Zhang Ruonan?"

"And that Zhao Ruth! Dilireba!"

"How many people do you like? Why didn't I see earlier that you were such a person!"

"You write so many beautiful love stories, but you are a scumbag. Don't you think it's ironic?"

"You said you loved me. Is this how you love me? Divide your heart into so many pieces? Be merciful and give me a small piece?"

"Get out of my way!"

Tian Xiwei became more and more excited as she spoke, her face turned red, and finally she even roared in a low voice!
Of course Lin Li knew Xiaotian's temper. Even though Xiaotian always behaved very well in front of him, he had not forgotten the memories of his past life. He just didn't expect that this little hot pepper from Sichuan and Chongqing would be so fierce when she got angry!
But you know what, the puffy Oda is also quite cute. His big round eyes widened even wider, his fair little face was slightly puffed up, and his eyebrows were raised, reminding him of a comic girl.

"Xiaotian, are you willing to leave me?"

Lin Li looked at the angry Xiaotian in front of him, and tried to speak in a gentle tone, intending to slowly comfort her.

"Reluctant to part with it."

Tian Xiwei answered truthfully.

“But I have to leave even though I’m reluctant!”

Tian Xiwei's first sentence made Lin Li's expression relax, but the next sentence made Lin Li's smile, which had not yet spread, freeze on his face.
