Chapter 588: Chapter 578 Yuan Family Sends a Welcome Party, The Status of an Elder

Tong Yue drove over the company’s luxury van.

Jiang Lingxi invited Yuan Hui to sit together.

"This car is nice, spacious, and it even has such a big TV."

Tong Yue, sitting in the passenger seat, turned her head and replied, "Mr. Yuan, the company just equipped Xiao Xi with this car not long ago."

"This means your company has high hopes for Miss Jiang, smart choice."

"You’re absolutely right, sir."

The drive took about half an hour, not counting traffic jams, when Lu Zhengzheng took out the remote and turned on the TV.

She accidentally hit the live broadcast channel.

After seeing the live broadcast screen and the account, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes in shock and said, "It’s the Yuan Family’s account, and they are live-streaming the entire charity gala this year!"

This kind of operation had never happened before.

The reason being that the organizers always welcomed more excitement.

Although the gala hadn’t started yet, the outside of the venue under the live broadcast camera was anything but dull.

Various media had long arranged for their people to start the coverage with long lenses, and outside the security line, many fans held signs or banners with invited celebrities’ names.

In a fleeting shot, a few sharp-eyed people in the car spotted several signs with ’Jiang Lingxi’ on them.

Fang Yao’s eyes sparkled, "Sister Xixi, there are your fans too."

"I see them."

The scene under the camera was already lively, but the atmosphere in the live broadcast room was even more so.

They thought it would be like before, where the general public could only watch the recorded edited version later, but it turned out they had the privilege of a full live broadcast this time.

With this in mind, they felt like they were virtually attending the charity gala through the live room.

So even though the event hadn’t started yet, tens of thousands of viewers had already flooded the live room, with the number still rapidly increasing.

The bullet screen (live chat) was also bustling.

[Surprise live broadcast! It feels like this year’s charity gala is set for something big.]

[Same guess, but I wonder if those top figures on the list will show up. Compared to those celebrities with tons of online info, I’m more curious about these elusive big shots.]

[Same curiosity, but most big shots are quite low-key. If they really don’t want to show up, the organizers should respect their choice, right?]

[I’ve noticed something; I wonder if anyone else has too. The so-called big shots list has Shen Yunqing, who’s ranked near the top. Could it be Mr. Shen who appeared in the Inheritance of Calligraphy and Painting?]

[Finally, someone said it. I also noticed but didn’t dare to discuss it, considering his high ranking as the big shot among big shots!]

[Not likely, too young. Probably just people with the same name.]

[That makes sense too.]

[Speaking of, there are significantly more invitees this year compared to previous years, even adding one more spot for invited celebrities that’s never changed.]

[People have been buzzing about it online these days; many are questioning how Jiang Lingxi managed to be on the list.]

[Perhaps the Yuan Family’s charity gala is not solely based on status this year and is considering celebrity popularity, likely an entirely new attempt.]

[If the above speculation is true, Jiang Lingxi is certainly lucky this time.]

[With Jiang Lingxi’s status, she should be appearing in the earlier slots.]

...

The bullet screen was filled with diverse topics, and Lu Zhengzheng initially wanted to turn it off, but Jiang Lingxi stopped her.

"Keep watching, it’s quite interesting."

Yuan Hui quietly pulled out his phone from his "treasure chest" pocket and sent a message.

If he remembered correctly, that guy Old Cao also received an invitation, and his granddaughter recently joined the entertainment industry, so he’d likely walk the red carpet with her this time.

With Old Cao’s standing, he should be appearing later with his granddaughter.

Whether he enters earlier or later didn’t matter to him; entering early meant enjoying the air conditioning sooner.

But now, seeing all the bustle on the bullet screen, he started to care.

Miss Jiang, at least, should enter after Cao Xinyan, or else there’s no telling what they’d say.

Since they have two invitation cards, requesting this from the organizers shouldn’t be too difficult!

The Yuan family receiving the message: "..."

They couldn’t understand how Mr. Yuan ended up with Jiang Lingxi.

But beyond his high status in the art world, Mr. Yuan was also that person’s younger brother. Although he never publicly revealed that identity, they couldn’t ignore it.

The employee called in for entry sequence coordination: "Mr. Yuan and Jiang Lingxi will enter together; modify their entrance order, ensuring it’s after the Calligraphy and Painting Association’s President Cao and her granddaughter."

The summoned employee: "..."

This was a major change!

The car stopped at the designated parking for the event.

As soon as the door opened, security personnel dressed in suits with earpieces were there to receive them.

There was also a direct descendant of the Yuan family assigned there, who, upon seeing Yuan Hui stepping out, quickly bowed and greeted, "Mr. Yuan, welcome. Please come this way."

The old gentleman, who was chatting with everyone while watching the bullet screen in the car, immediately put on airs when he saw the welcoming person, nodded reservedly, and hummed in acknowledgment.

He then looked back at Jiang Lingxi, who was stepping out while holding up her dress.

Before arriving, the Yuan family junior was informed that Mr. Yuan was coming with Jiang Lingxi, so now he also followed and looked over.

A look of amazement instantly flashed in his eyes.

However, he was also a part of the gossip-consuming community regarding the Shen and Bai families. After one glance at this ’beautiful woman’ who caused the Shen Family Head to go furious for her, he sensibly withdrew his gaze.

"Good afternoon, Miss Jiang."

Tong Yue, who had already gotten out from the passenger seat, initially thought both people were staff responsible for reception, but now she was uncertain.

While hesitating, a bright yellow supercar stopped opposite their van, and a young man with a lollipop got out of the car and looked over.

"Yo, the distinguished Yuan Third Master personally came to greet people!"

Tong Yue: "..."

Was it the Yuan Third Master she knew?

Jiang Lingxi, lightly holding Mr. Yuan’s arm, got out of the car, both the old and young looking towards the speaker.

They saw the laid-back youth instantly gather himself, removing the lollipop from his mouth and putting it behind his back, "So it’s Mr. Yuan, forgive me for being impolite."

Yuan Hui recognized the person, whom he had met during a New Year visit to the Yuan family. He nodded slightly at the voice, "Since we ran into each other, let’s go up together."

Youth: "...Yes."

Lu Zhengzheng and others who followed out of the car: "..."

The newcomer wasn’t a celebrity; he must be a member of one of the prominent families on the list, a young master.

Even before Mr. Yuan, he had to behave obediently.

To this, they just wanted to say: Mr. Yuan, you are powerful and awe-inspiring!

Seeing this, Jiang Lingxi also seemed thoughtful.

To have the Yuan family hosts personally come to greet him and the unruly youth to listen obediently before the old gentleman.

It seemed Mr. Yuan’s identity wasn’t just that simple as the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association!
