Outrageous! Who said my wife is vain?!

In a corner near the event venue, Mingxi was complaining to Cheng Yuyu: "That damn bald Wang! I told him in advance that you were going to take me to this event today, but he inexplicably got me a commercial performance for a shopping mall opening."

As he said this, Mingxi's delicate features distorted. Normally, if he doesn't get any work, it's a good thing if he gets one or two jobs every six months.

As soon as he heard that he was going to attend a high-end event with Cheng Yuyu, this job came to him.

They wouldn't let him go, even after telling him the contract was already signed, they started arguing about breach of contract fees and had people stop him.

Cheng Yuyu was also furious. He had originally planned to let Mingxi show her face on the red carpet at the entrance.

They planned to hire marketing accounts to hype up Mingxi's stunning good looks, calling her a hidden gem in the entertainment industry, in order to gain a wave of fans who admire her appearance. But now all of that has fallen through.

He cursed through gritted teeth, "That bald-headed bastard Wang, with sores on his head and pus oozing from his feet, is deliberately causing trouble here. If you don't listen to him, he'll deliberately mess with you, you damned thing."

However, he only dared to hurl a few curses, because in this setting, with so many people around, if his grimacing and cursing were posted online, he would lose a lot of fans.

Cheng Yuyu calmed himself down, adjusted his facial expression, and reached out to tug at Mingxi's wrinkled face. "Don't look so gloomy, it's awful. Don't you have any basic qualities of a celebrity? Smile!"

"Also, although you didn't make it onto the red carpet, you're not too late. The banquet hasn't even started yet, so get your spirits up. I glanced around, and there are quite a few real tycoons and rich kids in the VIP section today."

Upon hearing this, Mingxi obediently forced a big smile, then rolled her eyes slightly, "It's probably another bunch of short, ugly, and unattractive men who could be my father, and eighty percent of them are already taken."

Although Mingxi really wanted to find a rich man and live a life where he didn't have to work and just spent money on shopping, he just couldn't bring himself to kiss those men.

Cheng Yuyu's anger, which he had just suppressed, was about to rise again uncontrollably. He raised his hand and poked Mingxi's head hard. "Big brother, can you wake up? Beijing is only so big, and we can only come into contact with so many rich people."

"You don't want someone who's married or has a partner, you don't want someone who's ugly, too old, or too short, so after all that, there's practically no one else left, right?!"

Seeing Cheng Yuyu start nagging him again, Mingxi quickly grabbed his fingers and said ingratiatingly, "I was wrong, I was wrong, Yuyu, good Yuyu, stop nagging me. I know you're doing this for my own good. If there's someone who meets my requirements later, I'll definitely go all out and win him over, okay?"

Well, all my words were for nothing, Cheng Yuyu thought helplessly. A man's face isn't that important.

Cheng Yuyu comes from a humble background and has worked his way up in the entertainment industry for many years. Now he is considered a third-tier star. After all, a small success depends on promotion, while a big success depends on fate. Over the years, he has seized every opportunity to climb up the ladder and has achieved his current status.

After all, it's not always true that you can be favored just because you're willing to accept unspoken rules. There are many people who give their all but still don't even make it into the industry.

Mingxi is from Lin'an City. His family is considered quite wealthy in the area. His parents own several shops and more than a dozen residential properties, and they live a very comfortable life by collecting rent every month.

He grew up in a villa, with loving parents and a doting older sister. Mingxi was a child who grew up in a loving environment. However, apart from his exceptionally handsome face, he didn't have any other outstanding qualities.

When he was young, his parents sent him to various extracurricular classes, but he basically gave up on all of them halfway through. In college, he went to a local third-tier university to study performing arts.

He was already clamoring to become a star in Beijing before he even graduated, and his family couldn't persuade him otherwise, so they had to agree.

However, Mingxi's desire to become a star wasn't really about pursuing a dream. He felt that being a star was not only glamorous but also brought in money quickly, allowing him to buy all sorts of luxury goods at will.

Moreover, he's not as good-looking as those popular celebrities on TV. If others can do it, why can't he? With this thought in mind, Mingxi joined the ranks of "Beijing drifters".

However, reality taught him a harsh lesson: having only a pretty face isn't enough, at least not for Mingxi.

According to his mother, Mingxi is like his father, obsessed with looks. He really can't bring himself to do anything to those who want to take advantage of him. But he has a good-looking face, and if he doesn't submit, he will not only be unpopular, but also suppressed.

When he plays minor roles, the main actors in the crew are afraid that Mingxi will steal their thunder and outshine them. They not only ostracize him, but also ask the makeup artist to make him look uglier.

In a fit of anger, Mingxi had no choice but to retaliate. Although his dream of becoming a star had not come true, he had only ever managed to become a minor celebrity.

The agent stopped giving Mingxi work because he didn't accept his pimping behavior and ignored him, but Mingxi didn't care.

Anyway, his family provides him with 20,000 yuan a month for living expenses, which is enough for him to survive in Beijing, but he can't afford any of those luxury items.

When the path of becoming a popular star became blocked, Mingxi thought of changing her career path and marrying a rich man in Beijing, a city full of wealthy people, so she could live a beautiful life as his "rich lady".

However, as Cheng Yuyu said, the wealthy men they could meet and know, after removing those who were married or had partners, those who were older, and those who were ugly or short, were really few left. And the remaining families might not necessarily like men.

And so, Mingxi, this handsome young man with such an outstanding face, remained single all this time.

Cheng Yuyu and Mingxi, two people with completely different backgrounds, values, and standards for choosing a partner, became best friends because of some kind of fate.

However, the two do share a view: to find a rich man and live a life of extravagance and luxury.

Calculating the time, the banquet was about to begin. Cheng Yuyu thought he would teach him a lesson when he got back, so he said, "I'll discipline you when I have time."

"By the way, according to my investigation, there are several new faces in the VIP section today with very good backgrounds, especially that Young Master Chu brought by Young Master Zhao. I heard he is the young master of Shenghong Group, and he definitely meets your appearance requirements. I just don't know if he likes men. He is your target today."

"Really?" Mingxi looked at him suspiciously. He had rushed in and hadn't noticed who was sitting in the VIP section.

He felt that Cheng Yuyu was probably bluffing him again. He had done this before, introducing him to so-called rich and handsome men who were only rich in the first place.

However, Mingxi knew that Cheng Yuyu was doing it all for his own good. After all, the women Cheng Yuyu talked to himself were much uglier than the ones he introduced to Mingxi.

Cheng Yuyu's criteria for choosing a partner is that the man must be rich or able to help his career; looks and age are not important.

Seeing that Mingxi doubted him, Cheng Yuyu rolled his eyes, took his hand, and walked towards the venue, saying, "You'll see for yourself in a moment."

"Also, you need to be on your absolute best, give it your all, and take down that Young Master Chu in one fell swoop. Do you have the confidence?!"

"Yes!" Mingxi replied verbally, but secretly thought to herself that it would be best if he really was a single, rich, and handsome man who liked men.
