Chapter 25: Want to please her.

After signing with Wenhuang, she had other schedules besides filming. Her agent Wang Feifei personally took her through the process, fearing that she would be looked down upon by the organizers at the red carpet events.

"This red carpet event is a warm-up for NaSand's jewelry auction. It won't take long. Don't be nervous. Just act like you did before."

NaSand is a top Italian luxury jewelry brand. It is said that this jewelry auction has been prepared for three years. Ordinary people cannot even get an invitation to attend. The most popular thing in the eyes of the public is the red carpet event with many celebrities invited.

Every artist participating in the red carpet wore NaSand jewelry, but most of them were paid for by themselves, either bought or borrowed. The brand did not sponsor this event.

Wang Feifei lowered her head to help Shen Zhiyi straighten her skirt. "The necklace was bought by us, not borrowed. You don't have to cherish it too much. But it's better not to lose it, otherwise it will be troublesome to find it."

Shen Zhiyi responded. At this time, the red carpet was already one-third done and it would soon be her turn.

There were many media around the red carpet and the flash lights never stopped. Xu Xia appeared before Shen Zhiyi. The jewelry necklace she wore was not the one borrowed from the company, but a classic one that was limited edition last year and was hard to buy.

The assistant carefully combed her hair and said, "Xia Xia, how did you get this necklace? It's even rarer than the one we borrowed from the company."

Xu Xia flicked the dazzling pink diamond on the pendant with her fingertips and smiled faintly, "It was given to me by someone else."

The assistant asked in surprise, "Is it Huo Heng?"

Although she hid her relationship with Huo Heng very well, her close agent and assistant knew it all.

Xu Xia didn't answer, but a hint of sarcasm flashed across his eyes.

Just relying on Huo Heng?

He has been in a bad state recently. He is used to being praised and cannot stand the backlash of public opinion. He even regretted and turned down the work that had been discussed before. He also didn't even remember that she was going to attend the red carpet today, let alone send her jewelry.

It’s still a style that money can’t buy.

Unlike Huo Heng, Xu Xia has been in a good mood recently and things are developing as she expected.

But this good mood disappeared the moment I saw Shen Zhiyi appear on the red carpet.

Her face was cold and she lowered her head to send a message.

"You also gave Shen Zhiyi a necklace?"

The one Shen Zhiyi was wearing was even this year's new model, and belonged to the same series as the one she was wearing.

The other party replied very slowly, with only a few words.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

Xu Xia clenched her fingers.

There's no way she could be outdone by Shen Zhiyi.

"Zhiyi," Wang Feifei held out her hand to let her hold on to her as they were about to enter the banquet hall after walking the red carpet, so that she wouldn't be unsteady in her high heels. "I won't go into the banquet hall with you. Call me if you need anything. There are quite a few people here this time. If you know anyone, you can chat with them."

"it is good."

Shen Zhiyi entered the inner field by himself, walked around the corridor pillars to find his seat, but before he sat down, someone touched his shoulder.

She turned her head and met Xu Zhouxing's smiling face. Her expression suddenly became cold and a little unhappy. "I told you not to touch me casually."

If Xu Zhouxing wasn't the type of person who would easily make moves, she wouldn't be so annoyed by him.

"Okay, I'll apologize to you," Xu Zhouxing raised his hands to apologize, his arms resting on the back of her chair, and said mysteriously, "There's a jewelry auction upstairs, do you want to go in and take a look?"

Song Ran's voice suddenly interrupted, "Do you have an invitation?" It is true that Xu Zhouxing is a rich second-generation, but in terms of the value of his influence, he is not even close to being among the upper-middle class celebrities in Beijing.

"You look down on me?" Xu Zhouxing paused and said, "You can go and watch without an invitation, but you can't participate in the auction."

He had no interest in the jewelry auction, and he was not qualified to buy anything there. He just wanted to use this as an excuse to show off his power.

Last time, Shen Zhiyi paid unusual attention to the man from the Pei family. Xu Zhouxing felt that she was too bold and suspected that he had not shown enough in front of her, so he started to show off like a peacock.

"Go ahead," Xu Zhouxing knew that Shen Zhiyi would definitely refuse again, so he quickly said, "Come and play with me, and I won't bother you anymore."

Wanting to take advantage of the situation, Song Ran agreed, "Let's go."

She was more obedient than Xu Zhouxing, and she held Shen Zhiyi's arm affectionately, with a strong scent of perfume, "It's boring to stay here. If you go there, Xu Zhouxing will stop bothering you. How great is that."

Shen Zhiyi sighed, "I'll just take a look and come back."

"Okay," Xu Zhouxing smiled, "I'm really honored by you."

But he was certain in his heart that there was no woman who didn't like jewellery, and she would probably be dazzled by the sight. And if he gave her some jewellery afterwards, how could she not be pleased?

The jewelry auction only received the top people in the Beijing circle. Each person had a private room, and the main hall was reserved for those who were not invited. They could only watch but not bid. There was a threshold here too, and Xu Zhouxing asked his father to get a spot.

The decoration of the meeting hall is luxurious and gorgeous. The ceiling is painted with gold ornaments, and the relief walls are decorated with colorful gemstones. The light shines under the specially designed lighting. Even the carpets are handmade silk antiques. The luxury goods that others have bought and collected are placed here for people to step on.

The more Song Ran looked, the more frightened she became. She couldn't help but ask, "Who owns this building?"

She had only been to the banquet hall on the third floor to attend events in the past, and had no idea there was such a venue up there. She was curious about who the owner of this building was and who would be willing to spend so much money to build an auction venue.

The auction hadn't started yet, and the lights in the hall were a little dim. Xu Zhouxing turned around and lowered his voice, "The owner of this building is surnamed Pei."

Shen Zhiyi, who was following quietly behind him, suddenly spoke up, "Pei?"

Without thinking too much, Xu Zhouxing said a few more words when he saw that she was interested, "It was made when the Pei family first came to power. It cost hundreds of millions. It was said that it was to irritate his father."

The occasion was special, so Xu Zhouxing was particularly careful in what he said. He didn't even mention the name directly, and only said, "It's the first step for him to take power."

Prove to the Pei directors how much power he holds to dare to act like this.

At this time, this topic was brought up again in the VIP room on the second floor.

"What was Brother Pei thinking when he built this place? He even used Uncle Pei's antique carpet to lay the floor."

Qin Fang was amused just thinking about it, and he also admired Pei Yu's boldness. They were still young at that time and were under very strict control at home. Pei Yu was the first person who dared to hurt his father's face like this.

With half of the window open, Pei Yu lazily propped up his chin, his eyes wandering aimlessly. Today he was meeting with a good friend, he was dressed casually, with the collar of his black silk shirt mostly open, giving off a sense of unruly coldness.

He took a sip of red wine, not bothering to respond to Qin Fang's question, "What's the finale this time?"

Fu Songzhi raised his eyes and said, "Blue diamond pendant 'Nightingale', do you want to bid for it?"

Pei Yu still looked uninterested, "Yeah."

Qin Fang interrupted, "I want to give you that beautiful lady?"

The cup was stained with wine. Pei Yu lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his lips vaguely.

"To please her."
