Shu Jing was the organizer of the charity banquet, so she was the well-deserved protagonist.
As a guest, Lu Chen was definitely a supporting character. Of course, the protagonist couldn't accompany the supporting character all the time. She had other guests to entertain. Therefore, after taking Lu Chen around the banquet hall, she could only apologize and say, "Excuse me."
Lu Chen expressed his understanding and gratitude. He had gained enough tonight.
"You should eat something …"
Lu Chen said to his assistant, "Don't worry about me. Eat first."
Li Zhen was still a little embarrassed and said apologetically, "Boss, next time I receive such an invitation, I will definitely pay attention. Please rest assured."
She had been holding these words in her heart for a long time, and now she finally had the opportunity to say them.
Li Zhen cherished her current job very much. Her boss was young, handsome, and generous. The treatment in the studio was even better.
If her mistake caused Lu Chen to lose face, she would have no face to continue staying.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "It's not your fault. Go and get something to eat, or else all the delicious food will be taken away!"
This charity banquet was a buffet. The long table covered with a snow-white tablecloth was filled with Western-style dishes and desserts. The dishes were rich and classy.
Those who were invited to the banquet were not ordinary people, so there was no such thing as the delicious food being taken away. Lu Chen was just joking, which made Li Zhen laugh and her tense heart relax.
Lu Chen asked the waiter for a steak, red wine, and a lunch bag. He chose a seat in the corner and sat down, ready to eat.
"Hello, may I ask …"
As soon as he picked up his knife and fork, a young woman appeared in front of him gracefully. She asked in an uncertain tone, "Are you Teacher Lu Chen?"
This woman in a goose yellow dress was very beautiful. She was in her twenties, had an oval face, big eyes, and long eyelashes like two rows of small fans. Her skin was white, and she was young and beautiful. She also wore a pair of silver and diamond earrings.
She was beautiful, but Lu Chen was unfamiliar with her. He stood up and asked, "I'm Lu Chen, and you are?"
"Teacher" was not a popular form of address in Xiangjiang. It sounded especially intimate. Therefore, even though he did not know the other party, Lu Chen was still polite.
The young woman smiled sweetly and took the initiative to stretch out her hand to Lu Chen. "It's really you. I didn't expect to see the male lead of 'Autumn in My Heart' in Hong Kong. I'm your fan, Xu Hui. Nice to meet you!"
"Hello."
Lu Chen shook hands with her and asked curiously, "Have you read Autumn in My Heart?"
Although "Autumn in My Heart" had been broadcast in the mainland for more than half a year, this domestic phenomenal urban romance drama had not yet entered Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places.
"I've seen it three times!"
Xu Hui smiled and said, "Every time I watch it, I cry. You and Chen Fei'er acted so well. This TV series is really touching. I watched it online, and I really hope that the local TV station can also broadcast it."
"If it's broadcast locally, it should be soon."
Lu Chen was also not very sure, because these things related to copyright and broadcasting were all handled by Lu Xi.
Xu Hui asked, "Teacher Lu Chen, may I ask if you came to Xiangjiang to travel and visit friends, or are you preparing to develop your career here?"
She added, "I want to invite you to have a meal together. I have a lot of things to ask you."
This Xu Hui's attitude was undoubtedly very sincere, but Lu Chen did not know her background at all. Naturally, it was not good to rashly agree to anything. He smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite to treat me to a meal. Let me give you my business card."
He handed over a business card of his own.
Xu Hui took it with both hands and looked at it carefully. She was surprised, "Lu Chen Film and Television Studio? Ah, you really plan to develop in Xiangjiang. That's really great! "
Lu Chen asked, "May I ask who you are?"
"Ah!"
Xu Hui stuck out her tongue. She embarrassedly took out her business card from her bag and presented it, "I'm an artist and also Sister Shu Jing's junior sister. Please give me some pointers, Teacher Lu!"
It was rare to meet a stranger who knew him. Moreover, she was an artist, so Lu Chen chatted with this Xu Hui for a while.
The two sides chatted quite happily. Xu Hui knew the plot of "Autumn in My Heart" like the back of her hand. Moreover, she also had a CD album of Lu Chen's "You Who Sat Next To Me", which she bought online.
Xu Hui was very polite. She did not take up too much of Lu Chen's time. She quickly said goodbye and left.
As soon as she left, Shu Jing appeared right behind her.
The heroine of tonight's charity dinner looked at Xu Hui's back with a meaningful look. She sat beside Lu Chen and said, "You get along well with Xu Hui?"
Lu Chen faintly smiled and said, "It's alright. She said she's your junior sister from the same sect?"
"She's from the Xu family …"
Shu Jing said, "We signed with the same teacher in the same company. Some people say that she is very similar to me in the past, but she is definitely not as stupid as me."
Speaking of this, Shu Jing's face showed a bitter smile.
However, she immediately restrained her wry smile and said to Lu Chen, "My little junior sister is not someone to be trifled with. She often makes news with others, so … I have to be responsible for Fei'er."
Lu Chen nodded and said, "Thank you for reminding me."
He understood what Shu Jing meant.
However, he came to Hong Kong to develop his film career, not to make some gossip news and make headlines. Naturally, he understood the principle of propriety.
Although a woman like Xu Hui was very charming, she was not Lu Chen's cup of tea.
Shu Jing smiled and said, "As long as you don't think I'm annoying. Eat quickly. The auction will start later."
After sending Shu Jing away again, the steak that Lu Chen ordered was almost cold.
He did not dislike it. He waved his knife and fork and wiped it out without wasting anything.
After filling their stomachs, it was almost time.
After the guests finished eating, the waiters took away the tableware and dishes and replaced them with new tablecloths. Soft music sounded and echoed in the hall.
On the performance stage, Shu Jing gracefully appeared.
She first expressed her gratitude to the guests, then introduced the charity projects that her charity foundation was currently implementing, and finally announced the official start of the auction.
Lu Chen received a plate from a waiter. His number was 39.
Then on the stage was replaced by an auctioneer in a black tuxedo.
"The first auction item of Miss Shu Jing's charity auction tonight is …"
The auctioneer did not waste time and went straight to the point. He announced loudly, "An antique watch donated by Sir Cai Hong, the starting price is 10,000 yuan!"
