The culprit, Ye Lingchen, took advantage of the chaos to pull Zhang Yunxi away from the crowd.
"Ye Lingchen, thank you," Zhang Yunxi stared at Ye Lingchen along the way and could not help but say.
If it were not for Ye Lingchen, she dared not imagine what the consequences would be.
"Don't mention it. You used to tutor me when I was young," Ye Lingchen said with a smile.
Zhang Yunxi smiled and asked curiously, "When did you learn so many things? You're amazing. "
"I still know a lot of things. I can barely be considered to know everything in the universe," Ye Lingchen said arrogantly.
Zhang Yunxi covered her mouth and chuckled. "Since you've helped me, why don't I treat you to lunch?"
"Sure." Ye Lingchen had no reason to reject a beauty who was treating him to lunch.
The two of them walked silently by the side of the road. Neither suggested taking a taxi, just like a couple. Ye Lingchen secretly looked at Zhang Yunxi. Under the bright sunlight, he could see the soft hair on her face, giving off a soul-stirring sense of beauty.
New City Square was bustling with many handsome boys and pretty girls in school uniforms. They chatted and laughed with each other, forming a beautiful scenery.
The square had steak, seafood, barbecue, and western food. However, the cost was not low. Ye Lingchen suddenly thought of Zhang Yunxi's family background and said, "Yunxi, we haven't seen each other in a long time. Why don't I treat you to lunch?"
"What? Are you looking down on me? " Zhang Yunxi snorted. "Don't worry. I do part-time jobs occasionally. I have some savings. I can still afford a meal."
"If that's the case, I won't hold back." Ye Lingchen did not insist. He then said, "I know a good noodle restaurant inside. It's delicious. Why don't we go there?"
Zhang Yunxi was a little hesitant.
"Sitting with a beauty like you, let alone noodles, even plain water would be sweet to me. It's settled then," Ye Lingchen quickly said, then led the way into the square.
Zhang Yunxi was a little embarrassed. She glared at Ye Lingchen and followed.
Ye Lingchen's appetite was whetted as he ate the noodles and looked at the beauty in front of him. He finished the bowl of noodles in a few mouthfuls without leaving any soup. He licked his lips, savoring the aftertaste.
"Yunxi, you're here too."
An untimely voice interrupted Ye Lingchen's reverie. A fashionable woman in a red dress stood outside the window, then strode in from outside the noodle house.
Her face was covered with heavy makeup and she was wearing gold and silver. Her waist swayed left and right like a beautiful snake. From top to bottom, she exuded extreme temptation, mature and sexy.
Zhang Yunxi was like an unripe apple, but this woman was so ripe that water could be squeezed out.
The people who were originally eating lost their appetite in an instant. Their eyes were glued to the screen.
The woman seemed to have long since become accustomed to the ferocious gazes of the people around her, and she even seemed to enjoy it. From time to time, she would even throw flirtatious glances at them, and she was extremely seductive.
"Sister, what a coincidence," Zhang Yunxi greeted, but she was obviously more reserved now.
"Yunxi, I would've treated you to a meal if I knew you were coming. Eating noodles isn't nutritious at all. There's a seafood restaurant next door that sells seafood by air. It only costs 500 RMB per person. I'll bring you there." The woman sat next to Zhang Yunxi and smiled.
"Sis, there's no need for that. I'm here to eat with Lingchen." Zhang Yunxi shook her head.
"Sister Kong Wei, long time no see," Ye Lingchen said.
Kong Wei was Zhang Yunxi's cousin. She was also from the same village as Ye Lingchen, and she bore some resemblance to Zhang Yunxi.
It had to be said that Zhang Yunxi's family genes were strong. Kong Wei was also a great beauty, but her personality was much more open than Zhang Yunxi's. After going to university, she had already changed a few rich boyfriends. She dressed up all day long, and the bag in her hand alone was worth tens of thousands.
It was said that she had already begun to mingle in the entertainment industry. She had taken on a few shows and even acted as a supporting actress.
At that moment, Kong Wei's gaze fell on Ye Lingchen, and she said in disdain, "Lingchen, it's you. No wonder you can only treat Yunxi to this kind of food."
"Sis, I'm treating Lingchen. He helped me today," Zhang Yunxi said embarrassedly.
"What? You're the one treating? " Kong Wei's expression changed, and her gaze on Ye Lingchen became even more intense. "Yunxi, come with me. I have something to tell you."
Kong Wei dragged Zhang Yunxi to the bathroom without any explanation. Following that, she said in a serious tone, "Yunxi, I've been through this. How many times have I told you to be careful when making friends? Some friends can't help you at all, and might even drag you down. That's useless social interaction, especially with the opposite sex. You must be careful!"
"Sis, Lingchen is a good person. He even helped me today!" Zhang Yunxi emphasized again.
"Good person? None of the men are good people! You're not young anymore. Don't be so naive in the future. Those who give you money are good people, understand? " Kong Wei was exasperated. "It's not like you don't know how poor his family is. I don't think he can afford the clothes and jewelry I'm wearing even with a year's worth of savings!"
"If we weren't from the same village when we were young, a loser like him wouldn't even be fit to carry my shoes!" Kong Wei said with a sense of superiority.
Zhang Yunxi's expression darkened, and she said angrily, "Sis, I won't allow you to say that about my friend!"
"Alright, alright. I won't say it for now." Kong Wei continued, "Have you thought about what I told you? As long as you agree, you'll be the second female lead. In the next movie, you'll be the first female lead. You'll definitely be an instant hit!"
"Sis, I've decided to get into university first." Zhang Yunxi hesitated for a moment, then insisted.
"You're such a stubborn person! Can you earn money by getting into university? Once you become a star, even the principals will come to fawn over you! "Kong Wei paused." How about this. There's a gathering tonight. Come with me! It's rare that CEO Wang appreciates you. Don't reject him again! "
Ten minutes later, the two of them returned to the table.
"Attend a gathering?" Ye Lingchen looked at Zhang Yunxi in surprise. He could not help but frown. He hated such social gatherings the most.
Zhang Yunxi nodded, then pleaded, "Yes, I don't dare to go alone. Can you come with me?"
"Then … alright." Ye Lingchen nodded in agreement.
"Hehe, if that's the case, let's go together in the afternoon." Kong Wei looked at Ye Lingchen maliciously. 'A poor loser dares to attend such a gathering? Let's see how you make a fool of yourself when the time comes!'
In the afternoon, Kong Wei helped Zhang Yunxi buy a gown and jewelry. They only left New Town Square at 4: 30 pm and set off in Kong Wei's car.
Kong Wei's car was a red BMW mini. The car was not big, so Ye Lingchen had to squeeze into the backseat alone.
Kong Wei was only four years older than Ye Lingchen, but she had a full set of luxury goods. She had a car and a house, living a comfortable life. She was definitely ahead of most of her peers. Therefore, she had been imparting her experiences to Zhang Yunxi as a big sister.
The journey was silent. After an hour and a half, the speed gradually decreased. A golden building appeared in their field of vision, emitting a dazzling golden light under the sun.
Hailing City was located in the north, bordering Rugao City. That golden building was the most famous building in Hailing City — Nouveau Gold.
One could feel the aura of a nouveau riche from its name and appearance.
There were many cars parked outside Nouveau Gold. As far as the eye could see, it was filled with luxury cars such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and DC.
"Don't walk around or talk when you go in later. I'll introduce you. The people who come to this kind of event are either rich or powerful. Investors, producers, or celebrities. Don't be shy. It'll be good for you to get to know a few more," Kong Wei said to Zhang Yunxi.
Upon entering Nouveau Gold, the interior decorations were even more luxurious. There were huge and expensive chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling. Large pillars stood around, and the walls were decorated with all kinds of expensive murals. The key was the size of the hall. It was at least a thousand square meters!
At that moment, the lights in the entire hall were switched on. The gold-lined walls reflected the golden light. It could be described as magnificent. In the middle of the hall, there were all kinds of famous wines and exquisite desserts. Well-trained waiters were smiling, serving tea and water to the guests and welcoming them.
Looking up, there were already quite a number of people in groups of three to five, chatting and laughing. The men were dressed in suits and leather shoes, looking like successful people. The women, on the other hand, were dressed flirtatiously, revealing as much as possible.
"You guys wait here for me. Don't wander around. I'll go greet my friends." Kong Wei took a glass of wine from the waiter, then swayed her slim waist and blended into the crowd.
"Lingchen, do I look good dressed like this?" Zhang Yunxi kept looking at herself, asking nervously.
She was wearing a pure white off-shoulder dress, revealing her beautiful collarbone. The material of the dress was so white that it seemed transparent. It reflected the light slightly, like the wings of an angel, yet it was not revealing at all. The hem of the dress was curved from high to low. It was slightly puffed up, revealing the young lady's fair and slender legs. The hem of the dress was covered with diamonds. The diamonds were like countless beautiful morning dew.
After rejecting countless revealing clothes, that was the only one Zhang Yunxi agreed to wear. Even so, she still felt awkward.
"Beautiful. In this entire hall, you're the most beautiful," Ye Lingchen praised sincerely.
He was not exaggerating at all. Zhang Yunxi's temperament was like an orchid, elegant and pure. Be it her temperament or appearance, it was far from what the common rouge and rouge could compare to.
From time to time, the surrounding people would look at Zhang Yunxi, wanting to devour her.
Thanks to Zhang Yunxi, Ye Lingchen also became the center of attention.
In the entire hall, he was the only one dressed in cheap clothes. Most importantly, he was accompanying the most beautiful woman. It was hard not to attract attention.
Facing those gazes, Ye Lingchen was very casual, eating the snacks calmly. "Yunxi, don't mind the gazes around you. Just treat them like scarecrows. The snacks here are pretty good. Do you want to try them?"
"Hehe, sure." Zhang Yunxi smiled, her nervousness lessening.
…
Kong Wei walked into her circle and gathered with a group of fashionably dressed young ladies.
"Kong Wei, is that your sister? She's really beautiful. You can't go low on her looks. "
"You're such a competent sister. You're trying to help your sister find a sugar daddy."
"Is that your sister's boyfriend? He's dressed like a country bumpkin. "
Kong Wei sneered, "Bullsh * t boyfriend. They were from the same village when they were young. He's always pestering my sister. He's really out of his league!"
"Sigh, then you have to be careful. You have to remind your sister. If this loser gets his way, your sister's lifelong happiness will be gone!"
"That's right. A girl like her who believes in so-called love will be cheated when she's hot-headed. It won't end well in the future."
Kong Wei nodded, "I brought her here to let her see the world. I'm going to introduce her to Director Wang."
"Director Wang?"
The women looked at each other, and a meaningful smile appeared on their faces.
