The male archer from before was also at the banquet.
Compared to Bo Jiu's suit, he was dressed with more thought. He was wearing a British tuxedo that was tailored well, making him look tall and straight.
The male archer wasn't anyone else, he was the celebrity son that Guo Rong had mocked when she heard that He Honghua was attending the banquet, Yi Sihuo.
When he found out that Movie Queen An was coming, he felt that his chance had arrived.
They were in the same industry after all, hence, he had received some news. Recently, Movie Queen An had secured a huge role overseas and the director was internationally renowned. He was currently searching for a mysterious Asian youngster.
If he received Movie Queen An's recommendation, he would be able to act in the film.
Wouldn't his net worth be that of a C-list celebrity?
Those that weren't in the industry probably wouldn't know.
As long as he acted in a huge film overseas, he would receive a steady stream of domestic resources. Other than that, he would be classified as an actor.
Hence, to Yi Sihuo, today was truly a ladder for him to climb up.
As for his acting skills, who cared?
This was an era where looks mattered. As long as his acting skills were good, there wouldn't be a problem.
There were people in the industry who wanted him to study.
What a joke, he had to squeeze time for his classes because he was worried that the paparazzi would say that his acting had affected his studies. He had to be a role model so he didn't have the time to study.
Anyway, he could just use a stunt double for some scenes.
As long as he had connections, he wouldn't have to worry about not being popular.
Right now was the best time for him to grab hold of this opportunity.
In terms of looks, he was confident that no one could beat him.
But Yi Sihuo tightened his grip on his wine glass when his gaze was stolen.
The people that had been chatting with him paused, their gazes landing on the person who had stolen his limelight today.
Yi Sihuo was still in the group chat, obviously aware that the person who had stolen his limelight was Spade Z.
But they didn't know that he was the shooter.
Regardless of whether he was playing or interacting with others, he would never reveal his real identity. At most, he would say that he was from No.1 Middle School.
After all, he was a celebrity.
But he had never experienced such a feeling.
It was fine that he had been outshone in the game.
What right did this upstart from the countryside have to come here and steal his limelight?
Guo Rong didn't like He Honghua and the others either.
In fact, this was not surprising.
Some of the ladies who often socialized knew that Guo Rong and Su Mei were very close. Back then, she had looked down on He Honghua and even said that Guo Rong could not understand why that plain and fat country girl was so persistent. Could it be that Guo Rong could not see what she and Su Mei had sensed before? If she knew what was good for her, she would quickly give up. She had no self-awareness at all.
Hence, when Bo Jiu and He Honghua started walking, her first reaction was to pout.
However, people like them would never show their true thoughts on their faces. This was the elegance they flaunted.
This was also the reason why Guo Rong felt that she was superior to others. She looked down on people like He Honghua who came from the countryside and wanted to join them no matter what their status was.
Not to mention that son of hers.
Not only was she a love-struck fool, she even dared to attack his own father.
Guo Rong had also heard Su Mei talk about this person.
Other than being a professional esports player, there was nothing good about him.
But even though esports sounded nicer, it was just a game. He was really a person at the bottom of the social hierarchy, trying to find an opportunity to bite others.
Guo Rong retracted her gaze from the two of them, holding onto her wine glass with a smile. She couldn't even be bothered to look at them.
"Come, Sihuo, follow your Aunt Yang Huan more, it will be easier for her to introduce you later. I remember that you have interacted with Movie Queen An before, right?"
Guo Rong was obviously trying to raise her son's social status.
Yi Sihuo had indeed met Movie Queen An, but he had been seated below the stage, watching the goddess of the film and television industry receive her award.
But that didn't stop him from using this incident to create hype. "We met when we were overseas."
"Oh?" As the organizer of the banquet, Yang Huan arched a brow and smiled. "Sihuo, you are quite impressive."
Yi Sihuo replied humbly, "It's nothing much, it was just a chance to attend an event and learn from a senior."
"You're doing quite well now. A lot of people are asking me how I met you when they saw our photo. You'll definitely become famous in the future." Yang Huan smiled and said, "Don't forget to support your Auntie Yang."
Yi Sihuo was confident. "I definitely won't forget."
But even so, he didn't manage to attract the attention he wanted.
Because the ladies beside him weren't talking about him, but the nouveau riche who wasn't even fit to carry his shoes.
"That's him, right? Spade Z? I don't know why my daughter likes him so much … My daughter isn't interested in anything other than solving questions. This time, she actually said she wanted to surpass the school hunk in her school to be a qualified fan. What do you think she's talking about? "
"My son is even more interesting, he recently cut his hair and said he wanted to join the military. He said he couldn't even beat a gigolo in his life, it was too humiliating. Now that he joined the military, it fulfilled our wishes. In the past, he always thought he was the best in the world and was extremely arrogant. But to be able to beat my son down, he is indeed impressive. "
"It's good to have such a child."
"He seems rather sensible, unlike what Su Mei said in the past …"
There were plenty of whispers in the banquet.
But Yi Sihuo wanted to share all the whispers with him.
Both mother and son had the same thought.
Guo Rong didn't feel comfortable either. After all, in all the events she had attended, as long as her son was around, others would always be envious of her.
Today's banquet wasn't going according to her expectations.
Guo Rong narrowed her eyes …
As the invited party, she had to greet the host. It was basic etiquette.
Hence, the moment Bo Jiu entered, she brought He Honghua towards Yang Huan.
If it had been He Honghua herself, she wouldn't have been confident.
But with Bo Jiu around, things were different.
He Honghua greeted Yang Huan naturally.
To Yang Huan, maintaining harmony in social settings was basic etiquette.
Even if He Honghua wasn't invited, it didn't make a difference to her.
She knew how to make polite small talk.
In the past, Guo Rong could have done the same.
But now, she couldn't do it. She wasn't someone who deserved to attend such banquets, how could she bring up the tempo?
"Boss He, it's been a while." Guo Rong smiled and said, "Your son is becoming more and more outstanding. I think our situation is quite similar. We only have one son in our family. However, Sihuo has always been sensible and humble. He has never caused any trouble outside. Even though he is famous now, he has not become arrogant. As for your son … "She paused, frowning before continuing," The negative news hasn't stopped. Actually, as parents, we have to consider everything for our child. It's good to be famous, but if he isn't, he would be rash and easily get into trouble. It's better for our family to keep an eye on him. It's more important for him to cultivate both internally and externally. I remember your son wasn't used to such occasions, how is he now? He should have learned how to drink red wine, right? "
Of course, she still remembered Guo Rong. But she didn't have a deep impression of her son.
The reason Guo Rong mentioned how to drink red wine was to mock the first time she had attended a gathering with Su Mei. When others had clinked glasses with her, she had gulped down large mouthfuls. She hadn't been aware of this aspect.
At that time, the original body had treated Su Mei as a good person. She hadn't known that Su Mei had brought her out just to embarrass her in public.
And Guo Rong had been one of the participants.
He Honghua understood what Guo Rong was implying. Her gaze dimmed. She told herself not to be rash. If she was rash, she would fall into the other party's trap. It was better to tolerate it …
If she lost her temper, it wouldn't be worth it for her Jiu to be criticized for her lack of upbringing.
According to Bo Jiu's personality, such words would go in one ear and out the other. She would just ignore it.
But today, He Honghua was here.
In this world, there would always be such a person.
You couldn't allow her to suffer.
To Bo Jiu, He Honghua was such an existence.
"I've been doing some research on red wine recently." Bo Jiu stuffed a hand into her pants, a devilish smile on her face. "Thank you for your concern, Boss Guo."
In Guo Rong's memory, the youngster was still a weak and useless nouveau riche.
Now that she heard the youngster's words, she stilled for a moment before breaking into a smile. "It's good that you know. I would like to get Sihuo to teach you. Both of you are around the same age. Even though there are differences in some aspects, it should be easier for you to communicate. Of course, other than gaming, you don't do anything else. Unlike our Sihuo, he has to study every day besides reading scripts.
Bo Jiu lifted her lips. "Boss Guo, why do you think I don't do anything else?"
"Aren't you esports players just gaming?" There wasn't anything wrong with Guo Rong's words and actions, but everyone could hear the disdain in them.
Bo Jiu looked at her, her voice calm. "I think Boss Guo has some misunderstandings about our profession. We don't just play games. A professional esports player has to be online for at least eight hours a day. Four of those hours are for basic training, reflexes, hand speed, positioning, as well as the coordination between the team members. They have to be practiced repeatedly. Also, Boss Guo, I believe that respecting people from all walks of life is the foundation of being a boss. What do you think, Boss Guo? "
Guo Rong was at a loss for words.
She had never expected this little country bumpkin to become someone she couldn't fight back against.
She had led her into the gutter without a word.
There were many people present and they had started their careers in various industries. Of course, she knew what mistake she had made.
Yang Huan didn't want anything unpleasant to happen during the banquet since Ms. An was coming later.
So, when she saw any signs of trouble, she immediately said, "Kids these days are more thoughtful than we were back then. Director Guo doesn't mean that. Come, let's have a toast. Let's keep our words in the wine."
Yang Huan wasn't being fair but regardless, Guo Rong was someone she interacted with regularly. He Honghua was an outsider after all.
Inviting her to the banquet was just to make up the numbers. Between the two, she would definitely lean towards Guo Rong.
"Aiya, I've felt like something was missing since just now." Yang Huan glanced towards Yi Sihuo. "I haven't chosen the music yet. Sihuo, why don't you play a song for us?"
Actually, the way they treated each other was equivalent to leaving He Honghua and Bo Jiu in the cold.
Bo Jiu had never attended such events with He Honghua before. But when she saw that He Honghua was used to it, the warmth in her eyes dissipated.
How many times had she been ostracized for it to become a habit?
She knew how much effort He Honghua had put into this banquet.
Perhaps, she didn't care.
But even if she didn't care, she shouldn't be in such a state.
It didn't matter if she didn't attend such a banquet.
Bo Jiu was about to speak when a familiar voice came from beside her.
A familiar voice came from beside him. "Aunty Yang suggested it, so it should be possible. But I heard Young Master Fu's words just now, and it seems to be very impressive. Why don't I play a part for Young Master Fu? I don't need to play any famous songs, just basic piano basics. Young Master Fu should know, right?"
Bo Jiu glanced up towards Yi Sihuo, arching a brow.
Was this … the male archer from earlier?
Yi Sihuo wasn't aware that she was good at disguising herself and was extremely sensitive to voices. Moreover, Yi Sihuo's tone was filled with disdain.
Naturally, she could tell who he was.
"Or do you mean that Young Master Fu doesn't even know the basics?" Yi Sihuo continued, clearly not giving her a way out. Even though he hadn't interacted with this useless person, he knew a little about him. He didn't even know how to touch a piano, much less play it.
How dare he be so arrogant in the game and steal his limelight? He was going to let him have a taste of the consequences in real life!
Even though they had a piano at home, He Honghua had never heard her Jiu play it before. She had always assumed it was just a decoration.
After all, her Jiu liked to show off.
Yi Sihuo was doing it on purpose to embarrass her Jiu.
He Honghua clenched her fists, wanting to say something.
Bo Jiu was faster than her. "Should I play first or you?"
He Honghua paused, glancing up instinctively, her eyes filled with worry.
Yi Sihuo chuckled. "You can go first, I'm afraid you won't have the mood to play after I start since I'm a professional."
The mockery in his words was obvious, he was clearly trying to belittle her.
"Oh? So you're a professional? " Bo Jiu walked forward casually, standing tall beside the piano. She glanced up, her gaze devilish. "If an amateur like me doesn't play well, things will get awkward."
Yi Sihuo smirked. "Let's talk about that after you finish playing."
This useless person was really shameless, playing better than him. Did he know where he came from?
Bo Jiu remained nonchalant in the face of his mockery.
Everyone watched as the silver-haired youngster in a suit sat at the brightest spot.
