Under the curtain of night, Xiangjiang was a dazzling and intoxicated world.
In this world, there were countless social engagements every day. Well-dressed gentlemen and ladies lingered in all kinds of social occasions, wearing hypocritical masks and saying insincere words, but they enjoyed it.
Countless news was created here every day.
Just after 8 pm, Shu Jing's charity dinner at Shangri-La Hotel officially ended. The auction raised more than 10 million yuan, which was mainly used to help poor mothers and children in Hong Kong.
There were many rich people in Xiangjiang. Among the rich, there were countless people with assets of more than 100 million yuan. There were also several world-renowned top billionaires, but among the population of more than 13 million, there were still a large number of poor people.
Whether it was the upper class or the media controlled by the upper class, they rarely cared about these people at the bottom of society. Countless ordinary people struggled to survive. Compared to those extravagant rich people, they were like ants, unable to withstand even a little storm.
In the past few decades, Xiangjiang's economy had developed greatly, but social contradictions were becoming more and more prominent. People with insight realized the biggest problem of Xiangjiang's society and had been loudly calling for improving the situation of the poor people.
Shu Jing was undoubtedly one of them. She began to pay attention to the poor people in Hong Kong a long time ago. After marrying into a rich family, she established a charity foundation and used her own influence and connections to help those in need.
After more than ten years, although her reputation in the entertainment circle was far less than before, in terms of status and prestige, it was no less than those big stars. So tonight, she successfully completed the fundraising goal.
"Lu Chen, thank you so much this time!"
After the dinner, Shu Jing first sent the guests away one by one and asked her assistant to specially invite Lu Chen to stay.
"How about a cup of coffee together?"
Lu Chen laughed and said, "It's not good to drink coffee at night, right? But since Sister Jing said so, I will accompany you. "
Shu Jing smiled and said, "Xiangjiang's nightlife hasn't even started yet."
The coffee shop that Shu Jing invited Lu Chen to was right next to the Shangri-La Hotel. It was said that it was the most famous Lanting Coffee in Xiangjiang. If one didn't make a reservation in advance, then they definitely wouldn't be able to get a seat.
The seat Shu Jing had booked was very good. It was close to the large floor-to-ceiling window. As long as one turned their head to look, they would be able to see the beautiful night view of Port Victoria.
Tasting the fragrant hand-ground coffee, listening to the live piano playing in the cafe, and facing a charming beauty, Lu Chen felt that his trip to Xiangjiang this time was really worthwhile.
Of course, he only wanted to admire the beauty and nothing else.
Perhaps it was Lu Chen's calm and appreciative attitude that made Shu Jing have a good impression of him. After some careful observation, she finally approved of Lu Chen. "Fei'er has found a good boyfriend. As a sister, I'm really happy for her."
Although it was a compliment, it still sounded a little weird. Lu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Jing, you will make me very embarrassed."
Shu Jing pursed her lips and smiled, "What's there to be embarrassed about? Fei 'er's foresight has always been better than mine. Back then, she advised me not to marry into a wealthy family, thinking that women should rely on themselves to win their lives. I almost fell out with her."
She stopped smiling and said in a low voice, "Now that I think about it, what she said couldn't be more right."
Lu Chen was silent.
Although it was the first time they met, he could see that under Shu Jing's bright and beautiful appearance, there was probably an unknown bitterness.
In fact, thinking about it, it could be understood. As a former little empress, she didn't have much popularity after re-entering the entertainment circle. Although she had a place in the upper class by relying on the reputation accumulated by the charity foundation, the face was given by others. All the glory and glory were like castles on the beach. If a strong wind and big waves swept over, then it was very likely to vanish into thin air.
To lay a foundation in Xiangjiang and not fall, the most basic thing was one's own strength!
"Let's not talk about this …"
Shu Jing reinvigorated herself and smiled again. "What were you talking about with Madam Jin for so long? Did you fall for her two goddaughters? You were still reluctant to part with them when you were about to leave."
There was a teasing look in her smile, the kind of teasing between friends.
"Sister Jing, don't slander me …"
Lu Chenhurriedly surrendered: "I just promised to write a debut work for the two of them."
"Two songs?"
Shu Jing was surprised. "Is it one song?"
Lu Chen explained, "Actually, it's one song. Because I suggested that the two girls should debut as a duo, Madam Jin agreed. It's called Twins."
“Twins？”
Shu Jing's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "A duo girl group? It seems that there are no famous people in the circle now. This name is very good. Did you give it to them? "
Lu Chen nodded.
Shu Jing sighed and said, "These two girls are lucky to meet you. I can already predict that Twins' debut will definitely be successful because you wrote songs for them!"
Lu Chen smiled and shook his head. "Sister Jing, you're still slandering me."
"Not slandering …"
Shu Jing said very seriously, "I heard that you have a nickname called 'Golden Touch'. It is said that your hands have the magic power to turn stone into gold. Any singer who sings the songs written by you will definitely become popular!"
Lu Chen blushed with shame. "I didn't know I had such a nickname. It's too exaggerated."
Shu Jing smiled slightly. "Whether it's exaggerated or not, I only know after trying it. I'm currently collecting works and preparing to release a new album before the end of the year, so I want to ask you, the 'Golden Touch', to help me write two songs. How about it?"
Lu Chen replied without hesitation, "No problem."
His straightforwardness made Shu Jing stunned. "Don't you want to ask about the conditions? What if I want you to do it for free? "
There was a playful expression on her face.
Lu Chen said freely, "You are Fei 'er's friend, so you are my friend. There is no need to talk about so many conditions between friends. It's not a problem for you to do it for free."
What Lu Chen said was not polite words and empty words. He started his own film career in Xiangjiang and needed support from all sides. For a person like Shu Jing, who was influential in the circle, what did it matter if he gave her two songs?
What's more, she was friends with Fei 'er and helped him get to know many high-level figures in the circle.
However, Shu Jing was inexplicably moved.
After experiencing the ups and downs of prosperity, she was not the kind of person who would be easily moved. However, Lu Chen's honesty and generosity made her see a different man.
How lucky Chen Fei 'er was!
