Volume 1 Chapter 22: Encounter at the Banquet

  Although she is a newcomer, because of her previous appearance on the show "Tea After Dinner", and successfully signing with C&G clothing, Tong Jiang can be said to have truly entered the dazzling world of the entertainment industry.

  The entire entertainment industry, including the Blue Ocean Dolphins, knew that Tong Jiang, this newcomer, was being protected by Mu Fang. Whether it was out of jealousy, admiration, or disdain, everyone had their own opinions, but on the surface, they all seemed to get along harmoniously.

  This year's New Year's blockbuster, directed by the famous director Cheng Han, was successfully released and the box office directly broke 300 million. This is still the pre-period box office and does not include overseas, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan box office. So this banquet can also be considered a celebration banquet. In addition to the stars and big shots in the entertainment industry, directors and producers, many investors also came.

  Although investing in a movie or TV series costs a lot of money, and it's unknown whether it will make or lose money, if it's a TV series directed by a famous director, even if it doesn't make much money, it won't lose money.

  So this luxurious banquet is a mixed bag, which is also the reason why Guan Yao let two of his subordinates sneak in. Unfortunately, although Guan Yao is low-key, some people still know about his identity as the eldest son and grandson of the Guan family, so he can't openly investigate on the surface.

  Her smile had stiffened, Tong Jing glanced at Yixiang Lishuang, the bustling scene, and directly shrunk her presence to slip away to the backyard outside the hall.

  In the hall, Xiong Hua picked up a glass of red wine and took a gulp, his rough action eliciting snickers from several women nearby. They seemed to disdain Xiong Hua for having no taste in drinking high-end red wine like water. Of course, wearing dragon robes didn't make him look like a prince either - Xiong Hua indeed had no taste. His favorite drink wasn't foreign liquor, but Chinese Erguotou, which was strong enough.

  "On the other hand, Sun Yingying also suffered a Waterloo. She intentionally or unintentionally inquired about Liu Kang's situation for an entire evening, but ended up being treated as a woman trying to climb the social ladder. Not only did she not get any useful information, but her ears were also filled with gossip and rumors from people who were just trying to curry favor."

  "Yeah, right, these artists all look like they're smiling brightly, but they're all slick and you can't get anything out of them except for hype and gossip. They're not familiar faces in the entertainment industry." Xiong Hua picked up a glass of red wine again and directly gulped it down, emptying the cup.

  They all look like beautiful men and women, with a beautiful face, they are all speaking human language when seeing people, and also speaking human language when seeing ghosts. Their mouths are tight like clam shells, I've heard a lot of messy things, but haven't gotten any key points.

  "Never mind, you all go back first, it seems that this road is not going to work." Guan Yao was a southerner, although he had been in the army for many years and was now in the criminal investigation team, but he still had a fair and elegant face, his slender body completely without the robustness of a soldier, looking like a weak and delicate Jiangnan scholar.

  But if he took off his clothes, it would be discovered that Guan Yao's slender appearance was because he had already exercised all the muscles in his body to the extreme, leaving only the essence, looking lean but every part of his body was at its peak state, containing infinite power.

  "Who is it?" Alert to the presence of someone lurking in the shadows, Guan Yao's face sank, and a sharp glint flashed across his eyes behind his glasses before returning to normal. He looked at the approaching figure as if he were just an ordinary guest attending the banquet. Although Guan Yao's identity was special, only a handful of people knew about it. Among the over 200 guests at tonight's banquet, probably no more than three or five recognized him.

  "Hello." Tong Jing nodded and lifted up her stiff face that had been smiling all evening, giving a faint glance at Guan Yao who walked out of the darkness.

  In the woods just now, Guan Yao gave people a feeling of extreme danger under the shadows. However, when he walked out and stood under the streetlights, his tall figure, ash-gray coat, jeans, leather shoes, simple attire, and a refined handsome face didn't give off any hint of danger, instead giving off an air of calmness and elegance.

  "Hello." Guan Yao didn't expect anyone to come to the backyard of the villa, and he glanced at Tong Ying through his glasses. It was very cold, but she wasn't dressed warmly. She wore a milky white sheepskin coat with a fitted design, knee-high yellow deerskin boots, and a thick grey scarf wrapped around her neck, covering her shoulders and neck, revealing a beautiful face. Apparently, she was an artist attending the banquet.

  Brushing past, Tong Qiang continued to wander in the backyard, while Guan Yao walked towards the entrance of the villa. Because there were too many people attending the banquet, the cars had been parked on the road outside the villa long ago. Guan Yao walked straight towards the borrowed BMW X6 off-road vehicle, a car worth almost two million.

  As Guan Yao approached, Sun Yingying quickly opened the car door from the back seat. Xiong Hua, who was driving, had already ruined the high-end suit he had rented, with his tie loose and his suit wrinkled from his exaggerated movements, but he still looked quite like a rich second-generation heir.
