Hello Mr. King

Chapter 36: Feast of Celebrities

“That isn’t true. Ah Lang spent all four days of days off in a month just to accompany you. It’s obvious how important you are in his heart.” Yun Xiangxiang saw Qin Lang off together with Han Jing. She waved nonstop at the child that was plastering his face on the side window.

Han Jing smiled but did not elaborate. She turned her gaze toward Yun Xiangxiang, “Did you have fun during this time? We will go to Shenshi the day after tomorrow. Do you still want to go out tomorrow?”

Yun Xiangxiang shook her head, “I am tired after having fun for so many days. I plan to take a rest tomorrow.”

She talked about this with Song Meng and the group earlier. Even if they were at an energetic age, they were made of flesh and bones. They basically spent long hours on outings over these ten days. Yun Xiangxiang wouldn’t be able to take it if she did not have the training during the shooting of “University Dream.”

Song Meng and Li Xiangling could not even run, as they both had blisters on their feet.

“Take a good rest. I’ll open up new horizons to you girls tomorrow night.” Han Jing patted Yun Xiangxiang’s shoulder before turning around and went upstairs.

“New horizons. I am already thinking about a feast for the rich.” Song Meng immediately got closer with an expression of fantasisation on her face.

“Watch where you’re looking when that happens.” Li Xiangling reminded Song Meng

Both of them were purely curious about it. They wanted to gain some knowledge about it. However, they also knew that they could not afford to offend anyone in a place like that.

Nobody wouldn’t give some leeway to the girls that Han Jing decided to bring along due to her reputation. However, conflict always followed in the trail of humans. This was even more so when it came to the bigwigs.

“It’s okay. I’ll only pay attention to the good food there.” Song Meng wasn’t a person who didn’t know where the line was.

“Sleep early. You’ll look better tomorrow.”

Yun Xiangxiang didn’t really want to go. However, it wouldn’t be courteous of her to reject Han Jing’s goodwill. On top of that, Song Meng and Li Xiangling were obviously enthusiastic about this. They would need connections to grow their career in the future.

Han Jing took them for a skincare session in a beauty parlour after breakfast the next day. They had a makeover after lunch.

After an afternoon’s worth of preparation, dusk was approaching. Han Jing’s chauffeur took the three of them to the pier in a classy Bentley.

Yun Xiangxiang saw luxury cars zooming past even before she disembarked. The ones who got out of the cars were all decked out for the event. A lot of them were wealthy business people and magnates that appeared on the news.

Yun Xiangxiang knew them since she more or less saw them in her previous life. As for Song Meng and Li Xiangling, one of them loved to scroll entertainment news; the other was addicted to the Internet. They both saw a few of the guests before. Song Meng felt her legs turn into jelly at that moment.

“Teacher Han…” Song Meng called out feebly, “Isn’t this horizon a bit oversized?”

She initially thought that it would be a family dinner held by the Qin Family. She didn’t think that it would be something as scary as a celebrity meetup.

Song Meng couldn’t help but get cold feet when she saw the yacht stopping by the pier. It was splendidly lit and stood like a palace in resplendence on the sea.

“It’s the 70th birthday of Old Man Min. It will be okay if you just eat more and talk less while you’re in there,” Han Jing consoled them with a smile, “These opportunities don’t come every day. Since you managed to catch it, might as well have some fun.”

The car stopped at this moment. Already there were neatly dressed personnel opening the door for them. Han Jing stepped out of the car first.

“Xiangxiang…” Song Meng looked at Xiangxiang cravenly.

Yun Xiangxiang glanced at her before following Han Jing out of the car. She would be beyond help if she chickened out at this stage.

Li Xiangling dragged Song Meng and got out of the car before the chauffeur drove it away. Han Jing stood calmly while giving them an approving look. Yun Xiangxiang took a step forward with a faint smile. She had to go through a security gateway to verify her invitation letter before they could board the yacht smoothly.

Even Yun Xiangxiang, who saw what the world had to offer in her previous life, was shocked by the sheer extravagance of the yacht. The ones she saw on the way weren’t just celebrities from Hong Kong; there were people from foreign countries and inland regions as well. Most of them were people that Yun Xiangxiang could only gaze at from afar in her previous life.

People from the entertainment industry were nowhere to be seen. Come to think of it, if Han Jing weren’t Qin Lang’s biological mother who gained the Qin Family’s favour, they wouldn’t even have the right to attend an event like this.

Lots of people said that the entertainment industry was a gold mine. Rumours were that A-list stars wouldn’t need a few years to be uber-rich. Actually, they could only be called as well-off at the most.

They wouldn’t be able to step into the realm of the truly wealthy if they just rely on the income from their work. Take the yacht that the Min Family was using for the birthday party this time. It would cost more than a billion yuan at least. They wouldn’t even be able to buy it even if they worked for a lifetime.

They couldn’t even be called as nouveau riche in front of the uber-rich.

Yun Xiangxiang saw a familiar face when she stepped into the hall on the first floor’s inner sanctum. It was Fang Nanyuan.

Fang Nanyuan also noticed her. He notified the people around him before coming toward her.

“You seem to meet someone you know,” Han Jing also knew Fang Nanyuan, “You take care of the three of them first. I’ll go and wish gramps a happy birthday.”

Etiquette changes with status. They were here for the food. However, Han Jing came here as Qin Lang’s mother. She naturally could wish the gramps herself. Yun Xiangxiang and the others didn’t have the right to do this.

“I thought your family was only well off?” Yun Xiangxiang sized Fang Nanyuan up. The brat’s watch was now priced at the seven figures. Looked like he was really keeping a low profile when he was filming in their school.

Fang Nanyuan brought the girls to a quiet corner. Various wines and delicate desserts were sitting there. Song Meng was immediately attracted to them.

Fang Nanyuan reminded them about the wines with strong aftereffects before saying to Yun Xiangxiang, “Our family are bottom feeders here today. Who knows where my dad got his hands on two invitation letters. I wouldn’t even be here to suck up to people if he didn’t insist on bringing me over to expand my horizons.”

Yun Xiangxiang took a glass of pure fruit juice in her hands. She pursed her lips, ” If I had known earlier that it would be an event like this, I wouldn’t have followed my teacher no matter what.”

Song Meng nodded hurriedly with a piece of dessert in her mouth.

“You have seen Song Meng before. This is another good friend of mine, Li Xiangling.” Yun Xiangxiang took the opportunity to introduce her.

Fang Nanyuan and Li Xiangling nodded at each other to show acknowledgement. He then advised Yun Xiangxiang in a hushed tone, “You girls don’t run around today. Word has it that an incredible bigshot is going to come here today.”

Fang Nanyuan didn’t know the specifics of this bigshot. He only knew that his dad had spent tons of money to squeeze in here thanks to this piece of unverified news.

However, he saw a lot of tycoons with incredible background there. With Old Man Min’s reputation, they would only need to send their regards over the phone. Even so, all of them came. It was obvious that they came here for the mystery man just like his dad.

“Don’t worry, we will minimize our presence as much as possible.” Yun Xiangxiang took a thorough glance. There were bodyguards standing guard everywhere. It was even more astonishing than a TV drama.

Fang Nanyuan was staying with the girls initially. Before long, his father summoned him. Obviously he wanted to introduce some people to him. Yun Xiangxiang and the girls thought it discourteous to follow him. They intended to only stay there. However, wherever beauty went, attention followed.
