“Then you can go in and catch up with the mistress then.” Secretary Ho could not help but laugh out loud when he saw Vera’s reaction.
Who would not be tensed when they had to face Lu Jingzhi?
Therefore, Secretary Ho could fully understand the bitterness that Vera was feeling at the moment.
…
At this time, Jiang Yuning was already very bored after memorizing her lines for the whole day. When Vera pa.s.sed the invitation card to her, Jiang Yuning’s eyes lit up immediately. “I have not had any fun in the past few days. I do feel a little itchy right now.”
Jiang Yuning was a sly fox herself. Why did Vera worry about her in the first place?
Vera felt that she had worried for nothing again.
“Is there anything about Dynasty Hotel in the news recently?” Jiang Yuning thought for a long time, but she could not figure out why she felt as though she had heard that name recently. At this point, Lu Jingzhi, who had just changed into casual home clothes, came up behind her.
“Xiya Hotel has just acquired Dynasty Hotel last month…it was in the shareholder’s report.”
Jiang Yuning finally remembered after her man reminded her of what happened. It was no wonder why she felt that Dynasty Hotel sounded so familiar. “Then…is that my own hotel? Hahaha…then we can get ready to watch a good show soon. Vera, bring my name card to the hotel and ask them to make the necessary preparations for tomorrow night. We will definitely be there on time to watch the show.”
Vera immediately made an okay gesture at Jiang Yuning.
When Lu Jingzhi saw the both of them rubbing their hands in excitement, he could not help but smile helplessly.
As for the Bai family…he would ask Secretary Ho to walk him through the wave of scandals that the Bai family would be facing. Bai Tingzhang’s father was already having a hard time in the business circle at the moment. If his business opponents found out that the young master of the Bai family was wasting his time playing around with a young celebrity from the entertainment industry, then the future of the Bai family…
It would definitely not be as stable as the Lu family.
At that time, Lu Jingzhi would then cooperate with Ku Jie to use X Society to release a wave of scandals involving Ling Fei and Bai Tingzhang. When that time comes, Bai Tingzhang would be forced to choose between protecting the integrity of his family name or abandoning his family and everything that he had to be with Ling Fei because he loved her so much.
“Second brother…second brother!” Jiang Yuning, who was sitting at the side, suddenly yelled out to Lu Jingzhi. “Are you excited too?”
Lu Jingzhi reached out his hand before he pulled Jiang Yuning over to him and placed his hands around her waist as he rested his chin on her shoulder. “When you were not around, I would only hear the sound of the sea and waves here in the living room every day. Now that you are by my side, I have already gotten used to how noisy you are and I can no longer get used to the quietness whenever you are not by my side.”
“I am a firework here on earth!” Jiang Yuning laughed before she pulled away from Lu Jingzhi so that she could look him in the eyes. “As long as I am around, you will never be lonely anymore.”
…
Later that night, Vera went to Dynasty Hotel to make the necessary preparations for the banquet the next night. She also arranged for a few smart and alert staff members to serve in the presidential suite tomorrow to ensure that Yuning would not suffer any harm or injustice. After making sure that everything had already been taken care of, Vera then made a phone call to the Bai family to confirm that Jiang Yuning had already received the invitation and that she would definitely be attending the banquet on time.
The butler then quickly relayed the information to Bai Tingzhang.
After that, Bai Tingzhang simply commented, “She used to be the young lady of a prestigious and wealthy family but now, she is just an artiste who is struggling and trying to make her way up the ladder in the entertainment circle. It is no wonder she has agreed to attend the banquet so quickly. After all, every artiste would know that their future in the entertainment industry is totally dependant on the magnates and their connection to the people in the circle. I will definitely teach her a lesson when I see her tomorrow.”
“Young master, do you think that everything would be too high profile? After all, the master’s career has not been smooth sailing lately and he has also been having some problems in the business circle recently.”
“Anyway, they already know that I have liked Xiao Fei all these while and they have already been trying to oppose and stop me for years to no avail. What else could happen?” Bai Tingzhang did not expect that the person that he would be offending in the complicated and complex business circle would be Lu Jingzhi, who was in fact the one and only person he should not mess around with.
It was not an unforgivable thing to provoke Lu Jingzhi, but the problem was that Bai Tingzhang had chosen to mess with Jiang Yuning.
That was the edge of Lu Jingzhi’s tolerance.
Moreover, all that he could think of was the fact that the Jiang family had already gone bankrupt five years ago. He had completely forgotten that Jiang Zhitong had already created another miracle and that Jiang Yuning was currently a major shareholder of the world-renowned Xiya Hotel.
…
The very next day, Jiang Yuning went for her music lessons in the morning before she went to the shooting range to practice her marksmans.h.i.+p in the afternoon. She did all of this just so that she could make time to attend the banquet at night and deal with Bai Tingzhang personally.
Late in the afternoon, the production team of also released some trailers and clips to promote the third issue of the program.
Compared to the previous two issues, the production team deliberately focused on creating a horrifying and scary effect in the trailers this time.
They showed the scene where Jiang Yuning drew the card containing the source of all evil.
The part where the entire team was panicking and screaming on the deserted island.
They also showed a glimpse of the deserted buildings and plains on the island.
After watching the trailer, the fans were both afraid and excited for the upcoming issue.
[Oh my G.o.d! The production team really brought their A game this time. I was a little overwhelmed just by watching the trailer.]
[My legs are going soft!]
[My legs are going soft! +1]
[I feel that Jiang Yuning might be a little lost this time. The production team really upped their game.]
[Did I just see Ling Fei in the trailer?]
Subsequently, the discussion about the next issue of became a hot and trending topic.
@DesertIslandRescue: In response to the request made by majority of the audience, the director has agreed to release three official photos to depict the balding producers of the show! (Nose digging emoji) We are going to study s.p.a.ce exploration next @JiangJiangLovestheScenery!
The netizens burst out in laughter as soon as they saw the photographs because the producers’ heads were already beginning to s.h.i.+ne from balding!
[Anti-hair loss shampoo! You need it.]
[Although the production team is really very pitiful, I still want to laugh because this is too funny. Hahaha…]
When Jiang Yuning saw the comments, she also replied immediately.
@JiangJiangLovestheScenery: I heard that the producers are not only losing their hair, but they are also getting lamer! @DesertIslandRescue: In response to…
The netizens continued talking and raving about Jiang Yuning’s performance in . It was already Thursday and the next episode of would already be broadcasted the next night. At that time, Jiang Yuning would definitely harvest a huge number of followers once again.
Many of the other entertainers and celebrity were burning with jealousy because of this.
…
In a blink of an eye, it was already five thirty in the evening. Jiang Yuning returned to the villa to take a shower and put on her makeup. She was extremely excited to watch the show tonight. At the same time, she wondered if Ling Fei would also appear at the banquet tonight.
At six o’clock in the evening, Vera appeared at the villa as she waited for Jiang Yuning to dress up.
At six fifteen, Jiang Yuning finally appeared in front of Vera dress in a simple off shoulder black A-line dress, as she carried a burgundy colored Hermes clutch in her hand. Her long and curly hair was left over her shoulders and even though she was wearing red lipstick, her makeup was very simple but elegant at the same time.
She looked so simple but yet so elegant, so demure but yet so domineering at the same time.
“Is everything ready at the hotel?” Jiang Yuning asked Vera as soon as she got into the car.
“You can be rest a.s.sured when I am in charge,” Vera replied as she made an okay gesture at Jiang Yuning. “Moreover, I am certain that Ling Fei would definitely be there tonight.”
“I haven’t seen my cla.s.smates in so many years. I really do not want to destroy them like this.”
Vera could not help but rolled her eyes after listening to Jiang Yuning’s words. “Yes, you can continue pretending.”
In fact, Bai Tingzhang had arranged this reunion dinner just so that he could avenge his girlfriend. Of course, he had to bring his girlfriend along with him so that she could watch the show.
The rest of Jiang Yuning and Bai Tingzhang’s cla.s.smates were actually confused as to why there was a cla.s.smates’ reunion all of a sudden.
However, they all agreed to attend the banquet immediately because it was hosted by the young master of the Bai family. They would attend the banquet just so they could get a chance to leave a good impression on Bai Tingzhang.
Moreover, wasn’t the theme of the banquet just to humiliate Jiang Yuning?
Although they did not know if they would be qualified to criticize Jiang Yuning, they believed that it would be beneficial to follow in Bai Tingzhang’s footsteps.
After all, it was always safer to stick to the greater of two evils. It was better for them to offend Jiang Yuning than to offend someone like Bai Tingzhang…
