My capital is quite large.

June 6, Jinling Olympic Sports Center.

The annual Haofeng Weibo Top Four Celebrities Night, hailed as the grandest event in the entertainment industry in Southeast China, kicked off as scheduled amidst the attention of tens of millions of netizens across the internet.

As the annual event personally managed by Haofeng Group, almost all the prominent celebrities and capital tycoons in the Chinese entertainment industry were present.

Although Li Feng himself has not attended such purely entertainment-oriented galas for several years, the most prominent sofa in the first row of the inner field, symbolizing the absolute center position, remains empty year after year without fail.

However, the arrival of an uninvited guest after tonight's red carpet event shattered this tacit understanding that had been maintained for many years.

Xu Pidai, the head of Hengda Group, who just topped the Forbes list as the new richest man in Southeast University with a net worth of 2900 billion yuan, walked in with a group of bodyguards, looking very proud.

As the newly crowned richest man, he naturally received a seat in the first row from the organizers.

But under everyone's watchful eyes, this Mr. Xu didn't even glance at his own name tag. Instead, he plopped down in the central seat that was originally reserved for Li Feng!

This scene caused all the photographers and celebrities in the back row to gasp in shock.

This doesn't look like an accidental sitting down at all.

This is clearly an attempt to use his status as the new richest man at Dongda University to intimidate the organizers and defend his sweetheart!

In the backstage control room, Lao Han, the head of the film and television department, was completely stunned as he watched the scene on the monitor.

Although he is a film and television tycoon in the Chinese entertainment industry, he naturally dared not send security guards to drive this rising real estate tycoon away rashly.

Old Han made a phone call to the president's office to ask Zhang Yuxi for Chairman Li's opinion:

"Secretary Zhang! Something terrible has happened! That Xu from Hengda... he... he's taken President Li's seat!"

"They're clearly here to cause trouble. Should we take action?"

However, after consulting with Li Feng, Zhang Yuxi on the other end of the phone simply replied with four words:

"Let him be."

Let him be?

This seemingly casual reply, which left everyone completely unsure of its depth, only made Lao Han feel even more uncertain.

......

The gala proceeded as planned.

Seemingly confirming that Li Feng would not be showing up tonight, Xu Pidao, who was sitting in the main seat, left early after watching Fan Xiaopang take the stage to receive the annual award with a third-place finish.

With the backing and endorsement of the richest man, Fan Xiaopang, standing in the center of the stage, was extremely arrogant when giving his acceptance speech.

Wearing an extravagant dragon robe, she held the trophy and made sarcastic remarks to the cameras below the stage, her words subtly implying that Haofeng had used underhanded tactics to suppress her on the list.

Sitting in the audience, Yang Mi and Liu Shishi looked at the arrogant and ugly face on the stage, and their beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but furrow slightly.

However, in front of the nationally televised high-definition cameras, they had to be mindful of Haofeng Group's reputation at all times. Naturally, they couldn't afford to lose face in such a public setting and engage in a verbal battle with the other party. They could only maintain an elegant smile.

However, the older women endured it to maintain the decorum of the large company, but when it came to Zhao Liying, who was second in the popularity ranking, going on stage to accept the award...

This popular actress, who rose from humble beginnings, doesn't have the patience to indulge the other party!

Zhao Liying, dressed in an elegant white dress, accepted the trophy and stood in front of the microphone.

She didn't even read her prepared official acceptance speech. Instead, she looked at the host, He Ling, with a half-smile and suddenly threw out a question:

"Ms. He Ling, as a leading figure in the hosting industry, what do you think is the most crucial condition for an actress to become a truly good actress in the eyes of the audience?"

Upon hearing this abrupt question, the seasoned veteran He Ling's heart skipped a beat, and he knew in his heart that something was wrong!

This little girl is probably up to something tonight!

But He Ling, a seasoned veteran who had seen it all, offered a thoughtful answer to maintain order during the nationally televised event and to subtly warn Zhao Liying against speaking carelessly on camera:

"I think... it's about being 'low-key'."

"Only by keeping a low profile and focusing on honing your acting skills can you go further."

This response not only demonstrated professionalism but also subtly implied to Zhao Liying: This is a live broadcast, so keep a low profile and avoid causing trouble.

however!

Zhao Liying, however, seemed completely oblivious to the warning, and continued with a startling remark:

"So, keeping a low profile is the best approach?"

"By that standard, wouldn't Ms. Fan have given an excellent performance in Director Feng's film 'I Am Not Madame Bovary' last year?"

The audience and celebrities below the stage were slightly taken aback, some of them not realizing what this had to do with "Pan Jinlian".

All that could be heard was Zhao Liying's mocking sneer as she spoke, her words dripping with sarcasm, right before a national audience:

"After all, everyone has seen that movie. The whole movie used a circular masking lens, so the audience could hardly see Teacher Fan Xiaopang's handsome face."

"So... all a female actor needs to do is be shameless in front of the camera to be considered a good actress!"

......

boom--!

Upon hearing this, the entire Olympic Sports Center fell into silence!

Immediately following was the sound of countless celebrities gasping in surprise!

shameless?!

This is no longer a subtle insult; it's a live, nationally televised attack on Fan Xiaopang, where he's pointing his finger at him and hurling insults!

At that moment, whether intentionally trying to cause trouble or due to a slip of the hand, the director backstage accidentally switched the main camera to Fan Xiaopang's face in the audience, giving him a three-second high-definition close-up of his face!

In front of the camera, Fan Xiaopang, who had been maintaining a noblewoman's air, now had a face covered in exquisite makeup that was as stiff as a stone sculpture.

Although he was forcing an unsightly business smile, his eyes were practically spitting out murderous rage.

Right now, he's probably cursing Zhao Liying's ancestors for eighteen generations in his mind!

Seeing that the drama at this event was about to get out of control, the seasoned veteran He Ling quickly cut off the topic and jokingly shifted the focus to the upcoming "Top Male Idol" awards ceremony.

......

Compared to the fierce, almost bloody, behind-the-scenes battle among the female stars.

The subsequent awards ceremony for top male celebrities was much calmer and more formal.

Luhan secured his King title thanks to the lingering popularity of "Idol Producer".

Although "that man" had a gloomy expression, he could only be ranked second.

Yang Yang, as Hao Feng's biological son, gloriously secured third place.

Although Chicken Bro was young and impetuous, he also showed a high level of emotional intelligence and a good sense of propriety.

In fourth place, he humbly bowed to all his seniors to express his gratitude and followed the entire procedure in a proper manner.
