Outrageous! Who said my wife is vain?!

During the banquet, Mingxi's table was some distance from Chu Yu's table, so he didn't see Chu Yu's face for the first half of the banquet.

As the banquet drew to a close and everyone was free to leave their seats to chat and interact, Chu Yu, along with Zhao Haiting, engaged in conversations with some business people.

Surrounding them were many young men and women, ready to step forward and get to know these wealthy people.

Don't say anything like, "Your heart makes everything look dirty." People are just here to participate in the event and only want to make friends; they have no other intentions.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as those who remain untainted by the mud, but most men and women who actively pursue such relationships are hoping to find a wealthy partner or sugar daddy.

After all, beneath the glamorous exterior of this industry, the intensity and cruelty of the competition are beyond the imagination of many outsiders.

Many minor celebrities, and even popular celebrities, are just puppets of capital. After paying high salaries and endorsement fees, they have little left.

Of course, their income is still far beyond that of ordinary people, but in that environment, wearing designer brands is a must. Otherwise, even if marketing accounts don't mock them and rival fans don't mock them, their own fans will feel that the celebrities they support are not presentable.

In this situation, it is essential to find a wealthy or powerful patron, and it would be best if one could smoothly enter into a wealthy family.

At this moment, after Zhao Haiting and Chu Yu finished their socializing, several beautiful women and handsome men immediately surrounded them.

"Young Master Ting, what big project have you been busy with lately? It's been so long! I sent you WeChat messages but you didn't reply. Have you forgotten about me?" The beautiful woman with a cool and aloof appearance was quite charming when she started to act coquettishly towards Zhao Haiting.

"Haha, did you send me a WeChat message? You probably forgot. Zhizhi, the beautiful lady, right? How could I forget you?" Zhao Haiting said with a laugh.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhi's smile widened, and she took Zhao Haiting's arm, saying affectionately, "Young Master Ting~ I remember you love coffee the most. I just bought some Jamaican Green Mountain coffee a while ago, let's go try it~"

"Sure, I'll have to give it a try, hahaha." Zhao Haiting would never refuse someone who was offered to him and whose looks and figure suited him.

Seeing that Zhao Zhi had made contact with Zhao Haiting in just one meeting, the others who were lagging behind turned pale and quickly greeted her.

"Hello, Mr. Ting!"

"Greetings, Young Master Chu!"

....

"Young Master Ting, it's been a long time. I wonder if you still remember me? I'm playing the third female lead in the web series your company is currently airing."

"Young Master Chu, my name is Lian Danxue, and my close friends call me Xiaoxue. I noticed you just now; you are exceptionally handsome and have a refined air about you. I wonder if I might have the honor of obtaining your contact information?"

"Young Master Ting, I've long admired your name. Meeting you today, I can say you have an extraordinary presence."

"Young Master Chu, do you prefer coffee? Or perhaps red wine?"

"Young Master Chu, my name is..."

……

Those of you with such ulterior motives have already thoroughly investigated the information of the wealthy people in the VIP seats.

I can't find out the more private details, but I do know their name and general background.

Furthermore, when Chu Yu returned to the Lin family, the Lin family held a welcome banquet for him, which was attended by many business people. It was no secret that he was the young master of Shenghong Group.

Although the beautiful women and handsome men were pleasing to the eye, none of them suited Chu Yu's taste, so he politely declined them all.

Zhao Zhi, standing next to Zhao Haiting, clung tightly to him, preventing the duck she had finally managed to snatch from flying away again.

Handsome men and beautiful women came and went, but Chu Yu didn't even add any of them on WeChat, let alone hook up with any of them.

Zhao Haiting, standing to the side, was exasperated. So many different types, yet he didn't like any of them.

Cheng Yuyu and Mingxi, who were several steps behind, saw that the people surrounding Chu Yu and Zhao Haiting were gradually leaving, so Cheng Yuyu pulled Mingxi and walked in their direction.

As they walked, he said, "See? I wasn't wrong this time, was I? This Young Master Chu meets your standards for a tall, rich, and handsome man, doesn't he?"

As Mingxi was being pulled forward, she nodded repeatedly, her two big cat eyes shining.

As they passed a group of people with pointed chins huddled together, one of the men, who bore a slight resemblance to Mingxi, sneered, "Mingxi, didn't you go to the mall to sing and dance for people?! What's wrong with the security at the Beijing International Hotel? They're letting just anyone in."

"Hahaha, Jiaxi, keep your voice down. You and Mingxi are from the same company. If you cause Mingxi to get kicked out and then it gets posted online, it will be really embarrassing."

"Yes, and besides, she works so hard, singing and dancing in the mall and rushing here right away, all to find a better match. Don't delay her."

The group laughed and made sarcastic remarks, but if you were a few meters away and couldn't hear what they were saying, you would think they were just chatting and laughing together. Their acting was much better than when they were actually filming.

Mingxi and Yu Jiaxi are artists in the same company. At first, the manager wanted to promote Mingxi because he was really good-looking, but Mingxi was disobedient and was sidelined.

Yu Jiaxi, on the other hand, is a rising star in the entertainment industry because she is willing to go all out and knows how to seize opportunities. With the help of her company and agent's marketing efforts, she is now considered a minor celebrity.

Those in the same industry are often rivals, and Mingxi was the rival Yu Jiaxi hated the most.

Mingxi wasn't exactly naive either. She glanced at him sideways and said, "Heh, isn't this Yu Jiaxi? I ​​was wondering who you were. If you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have recognized you. Where did you get your new nose done?"

"And what's wrong with all of you? Did you get your noses done in a group purchase?! Treat yourselves better, you get what you pay for."

They have all had a lot of work done on their faces, but to outsiders, especially to their fans, they all boast that they were born with naturally beautiful faces.

Mingxi's rambling is infuriating; any reporter who hears him will surely write something ridiculous. So, they all angrily tell him to shut up.

"Mingxi, this is defamation. Be careful, or I'll send you a lawyer's letter."

"Yes, if this kind of fake news gets out and affects my business value, can you afford to compensate me?"

"You're slandering us all about plastic surgery just because you had it done yourself. No wonder you've never become famous."

……

"What is all this nonsense?" Cheng Yuyu rolled her eyes and dragged Mingxi away. "You're really bored, hanging around here with a bunch of pheasants. Hurry up, we have important business to attend to."

Mingxi almost fell over when Cheng Yuyu pulled her, but she didn't dare to say anything and could only obediently follow him forward.

After the two left, the group looked even more like clowns, but their faces, covered in foundation, didn't show any redness.

Seeing Mingxi and Cheng Yuyu heading towards Chu Yu's direction, Yu Jiaxi was no longer angry. She snorted coldly, "Just wait and see, he'll have to slink back in no time."

"That's right, Mingxi has such a slutty and shameless look, those rich young masters definitely wouldn't be interested in her."

"What an overestimation of themselves! They think they're some kind of celestial being! And they even dare to accuse us of having plastic surgery!"

……

Mingxi didn't care what they said, or what all the other celebrities and internet celebrities at the dinner party said.

He stood tall and proud, his pretty face held high, confidently heading towards Chu Yu.

She thought to herself, "He's so handsome, no man could dislike him, unless that man only likes women."
