Chapter 68 – The Daddies Collectively Reveal Their Identities
Xiao Fang looked at Xiao Qi, whose side profile was visible to his front left, and calculated the time in his head. This shouldn’t be the time for Xiao Qi’s announcement. The correct time should have been a year later. It seemed his presence as a variable had interfered with Xiao Qi’s decision. The specific reason was unknown. Toward Xiao Qi, he still maintained a “if you don’t mess with me, I won’t mess with you” attitude. As long as he didn’t go too far, Xiao Fang wouldn’t bother with him.
Guo Mengyun really wanted to go over and ask if their brotherly relationship had deteriorated to this extent. However, Zhuo Si, who knew her best friend’s actions well, gave Guo Mengyun a nudge, signaling her not to ask too much.
Although Guo Mengyun was mischievous, she was very obedient to Zhuo Si. She just sighed, “Sigh, I can only blame myself for not having a good backer.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhuo Si flicked her on the forehead with her index finger. Naughty!
The cautious people here wouldn’t be as cautious as Xiao Fang’s acquaintances. As Xiao Qi’s number one little fangirl, Wen An’an nudged Xiao Fang’s arm and said, “Xiao Fang, aren’t you going to greet your little brother?”
Zhang Hang coughed. He knew very well that Xiao Qi didn’t like Xiao Fang at all. Why would he go over?
Xiao Fang smiled awkwardly and found a suitable excuse, “His partner is there, it would be a bit abrupt for me to go over now. We’re not familiar. Do you want to talk to him?”
“I…” Before she could finish saying “want to,” Zhang Hang interrupted.
“Wen An’an, let me tell you, my brother is a very controlling person. This is the first time they’re officially going public. If you, a young maiden, go over and say you’re Xiao Qi’s fangirl, what do you think the news will say tomorrow? ‘Xiao Qi gets a boyfriend, and a child star fangirl’?”
It had to be said that Zhang Hang’s words were very sharp. Wen An’an, who immediately understood the stakes, instantly turned off her fangirl mode and sat properly in her seat, eating premium cherries with Xiao Fang.
A table of people chatted happily about their daily lives, but they didn’t expect an even bigger variable to arrive.
Just as they were chatting happily, they suddenly saw several major investors sitting in front of them stand up in unison. These were big shots who wouldn’t even get up to give a speech today, yet they all stood up together. They all walked from the aisle toward the door, not like the masters they were when they came in, but like a group of obedient students lining up to see their teacher.
Many artists who had received favors from them were all dumbfounded. Who could tell me, why have my daddies returned to their student days???
“Oh my god, what’s going on? CEO Zhang, CEO Qin, CEO Liu, CEO Hu, Director Wang, all these people actually stood up and are heading for the door?” Guo Mengyun listed the names of the daddies, staring dumbfounded at the scene.
“As far as I know, besides that person, there wouldn’t be this kind of formation. Could it be? Impossible, how could such a big shot be invited to this kind of occasion?” Zhuo Si guessed, but then immediately overturned her own guess.
The inexperienced “Dynasty” crew members all looked at Zhuo Si blankly. Was some great immortal descending from the heavens?
With nervousness and curiosity, the people at the table looked over with different thoughts.
In front of the exquisite main door, the “daddies” stood in a row with their hands clasped. Even the glistening oil on their bald heads couldn’t hide their sincere earnestness. The “daddies” even lovingly adjusted each other’s ties and collars. This caused a wave of gasps from the surroundings, and if the venue wasn’t big enough, it would have already stirred up a thousand waves.
“Oh my god, aren’t Director Wang and CEO Qin sworn enemies? How can their posture of adjusting the collar be so skilled? I don’t believe it, I don’t ship this pair of sworn enemies!”
“Isn’t CEO Liu naturally cold and unsmiling? Who is this person smiling like a multi-petaled flower?”
“Didn’t CEO Hu say his hands were only for counting money? Damn it, he actually touched the lapel of the daddy next to him. You’re no longer my noble and cold idol!”
“Director Wang, sigh, let’s not talk about it. Scary!”
Sometimes, when stars get mischievous, they’re no different from ordinary people. Today was the scene of their “daddies” collectively revealing their true colors.
But this also made Xiao Fang even more curious. He was really looking forward to the new daddy coming in.
At this moment, the long-awaited scene was finally about to happen. The magnificent door was pushed open by the waiters. Xiao Fang regretted not bringing sunglasses. If the big shot was too dazzling, he could still use sunglasses to block the light, so as not to be blinded.
Everyone stood on their tiptoes to look.
The person who came was wearing a pair of handmade Veilisr leather shoes, a custom-made suit, and a Patek Philippe watch on his wrist. His hair was impeccably combed, giving him a sharper look than usual. His features completely crushed the little fresh meats present. His thin lips were pressed tightly together, and his eyes scanned the entire hall. His whole aura screamed, “I’m very expensive, you can’t afford to mess with me.”
If, that is, you ignored the starry sky earring in his ear.
Xiao Fang took advantage of everyone’s distraction to secretly tidy his hair, so that no one would see the earring in his left ear. A very clever move! Because the person who came was none other than his mighty and domineering President Fei. He was completely scared, okay?
“Oh my, President Fei, I didn’t expect you to actually come to this kind of award ceremony. Your presence really makes the whole venue feel more distinguished.”
“President Fei, I’ve specially prepared your favorite Lafite Rothschild here. It’s been decanting for half an hour over there, so the taste should be just right now.”
“President Fei, please watch your step. The texture of the carpet here can’t compare to yours at home. If you feel uncomfortable walking on it, I’ll immediately call for your favorite Persian rug!”
The artists who were silently listening to their daddies’ flattery: …
Holy crap, what kind of daddy is this? And he’s so expensive-looking! How many years has it been since I’ve seen a president who looks so up to standard? That face, it’s unparalleled! Why haven’t I heard of him before?
The newly debuted artists all took out Baidu. Under the guidance of the veteran artists, they sincerely offered their knees. Reincarnation depends on skill, looks depend on character. This daddy had both, and he was a double Ph.D. graduate.
Sitting on the side, Xiao Fang pouted speechlessly. Persian rug? You guys think too highly of President Fei. Recently, he’s fallen in love with drinking rice tofu soup with me. So very down-to-earth. Imagine President Fei sitting on a Persian rug, with a bottle of Lafite worth hundreds of thousands next to him, and in his hand is a bowl of rice tofu soup worth less than five yuan.
“Pfft!” Xiao Fang couldn’t hold it in and laughed. At this moment, Fei Xiangnan had just stopped at Xiao Fang’s table.
Wow!!!
Everyone couldn’t help but imagine a earth-shattering melodramatic scene: the president smirks devilishly, pins Xiao Fang against the wall and says, “Man, you’ve caught my attention.”
President Fei lifted his leg and shifted his direction slightly!
Everyone: Gulp!
President Fei reached out his hand, toward Xiao Fang, uh, toward Zhuo Si next to him, and nodded. “Congratulations on your nomination for the Film Empress award.”
Zhuo Si suppressed her inner excitement, elegantly extended her hand to shake President Fei’s, and then quickly withdrew it. Starting a scandal with this kind of man, unless she felt her life was too short.
“Is there still a seat at this table?” President Fei asked politely.
There must be! Because it was related to Zhuo Si, either Guo Mengyun would give up her seat or Xiao Fang would. Guo Mengyun very tactfully stood up, preparing to move to Xiao Fang’s side, but was pressed down by a hand from Fei Xiangnan.
“It’s not good to have a lady give up her seat. I’ll just sit next to Xiao Fang.” Fei Xiangnan smiled cordially, but his smile carried a sense of pressure.
“Mr. Xiao Fang, do you mind if I sit next to you?” President Fei smiled very harmlessly.
Yoho, are we playing stranger play? Xiao Fang very cooperatively put on a commercial fake smile. “It’s my honor to have Mr. Fei sit next to me. Please.”
The interaction between the two could be said to be very normal. This put the several CEOs in a difficult position. They pushed and shoved each other, and finally sent CEO Liu out.
“President Fei, our seats are at the front. Do you think we should…?”
Fei Xiangnan had no mood to deal with these old foxes. He was polite on the surface but his attitude was firm. “I invested in Zhuo Si’s movie, so it’s only right for me to be at her table. You don’t need to mind me. I can see from here too.”
Could that be what he meant?
The several CEOs thought with tears in their eyes. But the real big shot wasn’t even at the main table, so it made even less sense for them to be there. So, they had the front tables removed and all went to the tables of the projects they had invested in. The film emperors and empresses who had planned to quietly eat melon expressed that the pressure was immense.
However, this group of people did not include Yan Yunyang and Xiao Qi. They still sat there as if nothing had just happened. The main characters didn’t need to bow to the supporting characters. It’s just that Xiao Qi secretly clenched his fists.
At this moment, the “Dynasty” crew was feeling even more pressure. Didn’t they say this person was Xiao Fang’s cousin? It’s impossible for cousins to pretend not to know each other. And Fei Xiangnan had never had a cousin named Xiao Fang. So what was their relationship? Various guesses filled everyone’s minds, but no one dared to make a sound.
At this moment, there was still half an hour before the award ceremony. Besides accompanying his wife, President Fei didn’t have any role to play today. Being watched made it inconvenient to be secretly sweet with his wife. So President Fei cleared his throat and said, “You all continue to chat. I still need to work on something here. I’ve been a bit busy lately. You don’t need to mind me.” As he spoke, Assistant Chen immediately placed a laptop next to Fei Xiangnan.
Was President Fei working? No, he wanted to set up a barrier to more conveniently flirt with his wife. An old man’s thoughts were just that direct! And boring!
Seeing Fei Xiangnan quickly get into a working state, everyone’s hearts relaxed a little, but they still didn’t dare to speak loudly. They could only play on their phones and communicate through them.
Before Fei Xiangnan arrived, everyone had already added each other on WeChat. At this moment, on the seemingly quiet surface, the online space had already exploded.
[New Chat Group: Reflections on Sitting at the Same Table with the New Daddy.]
Guo Guo Guo: Aww, Zhuo Si, I knew I shouldn’t have come with you. Even if this daddy isn’t a greasy old man from the Northeast, he’s so cold and scary. I don’t dare to make a sound!
World’s Number One Top: Sob, I can’t help it either. This investor daddy didn’t even care when our new drama started filming. How could I have known he would come today!
Director Hu: Ha, hahaha.
Wen An’an: Uh, uh uh uh.
Zhang Hang: Heh, hehehe.
Xiao Fang: Tone word relay? I’m here, hey, hehehe!
Best friends’ inner thoughts: Why does it feel like this crew’s style is a bit strange?
Xiao Fang was sending messages on WeChat while pretending to look at Fei Xiangnan’s screen, observing everyone’s movements, and quickly accepting President Fei’s feeding. This feeling, there’s a bit of happiness~
This dried strawberry is too good!!!!
