Chapter 199 Girlfriend, Girlfriend, Girlfriend...
Yu Xiaoan told Mingyue, Gu Zong and Gu Mingxing what would be performed on the day of the banquet, the order of performance, and even the costumes.
"In short, you are indifferent and disgusted with me. I have no worries about Sister Mingyue and Brother Zong about this, but Xingxing, you should not only express it with words, but also with your eyes. Even if they are dead fish eyes, don't smile when you look at me."
Gu Mingxing asked: "What if I can't control it?"
"Then think about something sad."
"Hey! Here I come!"
There was a cheerful voice outside the door. The doorman arranged by the villa recently allowed the other party to come in, which meant that he was a familiar person, and the voice was Huo Ting's.
Gu Mingxing looked disgusted when he heard the voice, and Yu Xiaoan told him that this was the expression he had now.
Huo Ting walked in directly with a lot of bags: "Sister Mingyue, Brother Zong, I'm here to see you! Oh, Xiaoan and Lao Gu are here, and I just brought you gifts."
Gu Zong crossed his hands in front of his chest and said, "It's strange that you would bring gifts."
Huo Ting put the bag on the ground, and then took out the items in the bag: "this is what my girlfriend taught me. She said that you should bring gifts when you go to other people, whether they are elders or juniors, so I bought gifts for you when I came."
He took out a half-gold leaf mask and gave it to Gu Zong: "This is for Brother Zong. It shows wealth and mystery."
He took out another box, which contained a deck of cards. "This is for Sister Mingyue. It's a custom-made deck of cards. It's limited edition. I didn't expect Xiao An and Lao Gu to be here, so I didn't prepare a special gift..."
Seeing the gift from Huo Ting, Yu Xiaoan was glad that he had no gift, but the next second Huo Ting said, "But I have a lot of things here," and he took out an ugly clay doll...a puppy?
"This is a souvenir my girlfriend and I bought when we traveled around the world. I heard it's for blessing safety. You've been injured before, so you should really need it."
Yu Xiaoan originally wanted to refuse, because this thing didn't look like a puppy, a cat, a horse, or a pig. It was simply a new "four-in-one". It was really ugly, crooked, and looked very weird. Yu Xiaoan even suspected that it was not a blessing, but a death-threatening one.
"This one belongs to Lao Gu."
Yu Xiaoan saw that the one he gave to Gu Mingxing was even uglier. He couldn't even describe its shape with words, let alone imagine what it was.
"This is for blessing your business. It will bring you a fortune every day... No, a fortune is less than what you make now. I'll change it for you."
I thought it would be better to change it, but who knew there was no better one, only worse. Huo Ting took out a stone directly from the bag. It was not unfair to describe the stone as "broken". It was bumpy and shapeless. At first glance, it was worse than the stones on the roadside.
"I found this by the river when my girlfriend and I were traveling. I originally wanted to give it to commemorate my first month together, but since you are my good brother, I will give it to you."
Gu Mingxing returned it to him: "It's so important, so keep it."
"Oh, why are you being so polite?" Huo Ting stuffed it back into her hand: "my girlfriend said that no matter what, etiquette still needs to be done, take it."
Mingyue laughed and joked, "It seems Huo Huo has a very good girlfriend."
"That's right, Sister Mingyue, let me tell you, my girlfriend is simply the best in the world. She has taught me a lot of things. If there is a chance, I will take you to meet her."
Not to mention Yu Xiaoan, even Mingyue and Gu Zong were stunned for a moment. Is there any saying about elders meeting younger generations in the "meeting the parents" thing?
But looking at the happy smile on Huo Ting's face, they didn't say anything.
"I heard from my mom that your family is having a dinner party, so it probably wouldn't be too much for me to bring one person along."
Gu Zong drank his tea and asked, "Your girlfriend?"
"Yes."
"Of course I will. Your father is in charge of this matter. If you want an invitation letter, just go to your father."
"My dad?" Huo Ting was puzzled. "It's my dad who is in charge. What is this banquet for? Is there anything I need to do?"
Gu Mingxing said: "No need, just do it as usual."
"Then why are you holding this party?"
Yu Xiaoan answered honestly, "Because Kels's parents want me to avenge their son, they won't give up until I get revenge, so I put on a show for them."
"Acting?" Huo Ting's eyes sparkled: "my girlfriend is an actor, she can definitely cooperate with you naturally."
Seeing how interested he was, Yu Xiaoan gave him a little role: "Just show your alienation from me."
"Simple, and definitely no one else will notice anything."
Sister Mingyue asked pointedly, "What on earth are you doing here? You're not here to show off your girlfriend, are you?"
"Hehe, Sister Mingyue understands me. I really have something to do here," Huo Ting said with a flattering smile, "I remember Sister Mingyue had a set of ruby jewelry in the shape of a butterfly. I want to borrow it for my girlfriend's starlight dinner."
Gu Mingxing had been involved in some entertainment industry affairs before and knew what the Starlight Dinner was, but it was strange that Huo Ting was an intelligence dealer, so how could he not know what the Starlight Dinner was?
"You...actually let your girlfriend attend the Starlight Dinner?"
"That is the most grand banquet in the entire entertainment industry. Attending it once can generate a lot of buzz."
"Don't you want to check who is attending this dinner?"
Gu Mingxing also kindly reminded him, but Huo Ting is now completely in love: "This is my girlfriend's career. I promised her not to interfere."
Since he didn't want to interfere, he didn't investigate. Gu Mingxing was a little speechless now.
"If you want to use it, then take it. The housekeeper is not here today. I'll get it for you. Wait a minute."
"Thank you Sister Mingyue!"
Gu Zong thinks Huo Ting's current change is disgusting.
Huo Ting got the jewelry and left without saying a few words.
Yu Xiaoan secretly asked Gu Mingxing: "What is that Starlight Dinner?"
"It's not a good place, so I'd better not know about it."
"No, I'm curious, so just tell me. Besides, I've seen everything."
Gu Mingxing satisfied her curiosity and explained, "It's just like those nightclubs for pleasure. Those stars are male and female models. The name of the Starlight Dinner sounds nice. Those people are visible there, and the other invisible ones can be swallowed up at any time. Generally, the male and female stars who participate will dress more exaggeratedly than usual, just to please those powerful people and get more and better resources. Therefore, there are usually many private rooms in the place where the Starlight Dinner is held, which are used no more than once or twice a year."
"Those celebrities earn so much, what else do they need?"
Gu Mingxing replied: "They earn a lot, but the initiative of resources is not in their hands. In the entertainment industry, it is easy to make someone popular, but it is even easier to make someone disappear from the public eye. In the eyes of those people, the money those stars earn is just a drop in the bucket."
Yu Xiaoan pursed her lips: "I'm a little curious about their working mechanism."
"If you want, I can give you an entertainment company under my name."
“How extensive is your business?”
“Except for the financial industry, all other industries are involved.”
“Why except the financial industry?”
"The financial industry has many rules and many departments that are supervised. If you don't pay attention, you will be investigated. There are also various meetings and lists every year. It is easy to get frustrated without doing anything."
Things were going smoothly, and the banquet would begin in two days. Yu Xiaoan knew in his heart that plans could not keep up with changes, and he had to make preparations for both scenarios no matter what happened, so he not only told Mingyue and the others about plan one, but also plan two.
However, no matter how many plans there are, it is not as good as the on-site improvisation. Therefore, when Yu Xiaoan met Huo Ting's girlfriend, he could deal with it perfectly. In Yu Xiaoan's eyes, Huo Ting's girlfriend was really a miracle who could survive in the entertainment industry.
And it was the banquet not long after that made Huo Ting fall out of love.
