Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Apprentice Banquet 1

Then, she edited a line of text to go with the photo and tagged "Yingying loves cherry," and posted it.

Seeing herself getting noticed and tagged in a post by her favorite idol, Jiang Ying felt her blood boiling with excitement, almost wishing she could climb the entire Tianxi building with her phone in hand right now.

What could be more exciting and thrilling than this?

Wuuwuuwuu.

She cried with excitement.

Yun Yue raised her eyebrows and glanced at the two, feeling as if she’d met kindred spirits.

Xiao Chen took them home at nine-thirty, and after they left, everyone there felt as if their shackles had been removed.

Jiang Ying reluctantly said goodbye to Ruan Yingtong, having only spent about an hour and a half with her idol, which felt incredibly short.

"Yingying?" Jiang Qi sat down next to her.

"What?" Jiang Ying happily browsed Weibo, noticing in just a short time her likes and comments had exceeded ten thousand, and she responded without hesitation when she heard him call her, unaware that it was Jiang Qi beside her.

[Ahhh! I’m so jealous of Sister Yingying, getting to be so close to Cherry.]

[This looks like Tianxi’s VIP box, it looks like a one-line box.]

...

She continued scrolling down to read the comments, responding and liking the favorable ones.

Then she boldly pinned a comment, [I’m happy, so I’m going to draw 50 lucky Cherry fans in the comments and send them Cherry-endorsed bracelets.]

Then, Jiang Qi saw her going on WeChat to contact the brand’s counter girl, booking 50 bracelets with a deposit of 200,000, the remaining 2.3 million to be paid by card when retrieved.

"..."

He had heard about spending money on games but never about spending money on following stars, which seemed even scarier than a gaming addiction.

But since she had the money, he figured she might as well spend it.

After the purchase, she went back to scrolling through Weibo comments.

"Still mad at me?" he asked, raising his eyebrows.

Jiang Ying focused on Weibo, "Mad about what? Don’t disturb me while I’m browsing Weibo."

Jiang Qi felt a bit better: "...You shouldn’t listen to your brother’s talk, last time I just criticized him behind his back for robbing the cradle and he caught me, then he went to you and smeared my name..."

He felt quite aggrieved, having been slandered by Master Chen without knowing what for.

But if she was angry, then it was her fault, he thought. After all, she was the one he loved, so he would just have to spoil her.

Jiang Ying: "I know."

"You know and you’re still mad at me?" Jiang Qi felt a tightness in his chest.

"Who made him my brother, I have to give him face. But you’re in the lab every day, and it’s impossible to hang out with you, aren’t I allowed to be angry!" Jiang Ying suddenly put her phone down, glaring at him furiously.

Six days a week in the lab, even living there, no wonder she was upset when she couldn’t go out with him.

Jiang Qi touched his nose, "I can’t help it with work, but I’m taking some leave soon, I’ll go wherever you want to play."

Jiang Ying picked up her phone again, completely uninterested, "No need, I’m busy recently."

"You’re busy?" Jiang Qi was stunned, she didn’t even work, even if she just lay at home money would come into her pockets.

Jiang Ying nodded, "Yeah, I just met my idol, I plan to go hang out with her every day."

Thinking of spending time with her now? Sorry, she was too busy!

Jiang Qi: "..."

They talked for a long time, and Jiang Qi felt that she wasn’t as friendly toward him as before, since almost everything mentioned was about Ruan Yingtong.

...

After returning, Jiang Qi made a phone call.

"Hello, Director Zhang, are there any big IP dramas recently, where I can stay as long as possible at the filming set? I am investing... money is no issue, the only condition is that I decide the female lead..."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Qi smiled smugly.

You want to play with your idol? Let’s see how you play when your idol is busy filming every day. Then he would have no choice but to reluctantly come and play with you.

The next day.

The weather was fine and sunny.

The Piano Association had started preparing for the banquet the previous day, and early this morning it was still busy but organized, methodically setting up the venue.

As Master Yaonan’s foremost disciple, Gu Cong had gone early to the Piano Association to arrange various matters.

Ruan Yingtong arrived early at the Piano Association to familiarize herself with the affairs and brought a makeup artist with her.

"Master, Senior Brother," she greeted, wearing casual clothes while Yaonan was in formal attire, his commanding gaze resting on her.

She politely explained, "Since the gown is a bit heavy, I came early to get acquainted with the affairs before doing my makeup."

Yaonan nodded slightly, "Many VIPs have come this time. You don’t need to be nervous. I’ll introduce you to them one by one. If you feel intimidated, just stand by the side and let Gu Cong look after you a bit."

"Master, don’t worry. I’m used to being in front of cameras every day; I won’t feel intimidated and will make sure not to embarrass you," Ruan Yingtong playfully stuck out her tongue.

Yaonan, amused and exasperated by her, responded, "Alright, let your senior brother brief you on the process then go get your makeup done."

Gu Cong, brought Ruan Yingtong out of the room, his demeanor gentle and his voice soft, "The teacher is usually very stern and doesn’t smile often. He’s like this to everyone, so don’t be intimidated by him. You’ll find he’s quite easy-going once you know him better."

"Alright," Ruan Yingtong smiled and nodded, "Senior Brother, how many people are here today?"

Ruan Yingtong counted. She knew quite a few people from the entertainment industry. Typically, there are several hundred people at the banquets she attends, but she certainly couldn’t remember everyone. However, the occasions that could gather celebrities here were few.

"At least a hundred," Gu Cong said with a smile. This time, our teacher invited quite a few people to boost Ruan Yingtong’s presence, all distinguished individuals in Beijing.

Ruan Yingtong gasped, it seemed no less than some of the events she usually attended.

"Senior Brother, can I bring my manager to the banquet?" Ruan Yingtong batted her eyelashes at him.

"Of course you can," Gu Cong laughed.

Sun Hong’s eyes shimmered, gleeful that the young girl she’d taken care of hadn’t let her down and glad she had brought a gown.

...

Yun Yue and Ruan Yingtong left their homes at the same time; Xiao Chen picked her up saying it was for styling.

She outright refused him as she had an injury on her hand. Wearing a gown would reveal it, and it would be difficult to console Ruan Yingtong if she started to cry.

"No gown." Xiao Chen took her to a private makeup room.

Yun Yue was naturally beautiful, and the makeup artists felt there was no need for makeup; enhancing it further would take away from her natural beauty, so they just styled her hair.

She wore a casual western-style suit that looked incredibly cool.

Feng Ye chuckled, the kid had an extraordinary aura, and revealing those wild brows and eyes after taking off her cap was indescribable.

This time, Xiao Feng acted as the driver, steering the conspicuous car along the busiest streets of Beijing.

At that moment, the entrance of the Piano Association was decorated with numerous flowers, and fans of Ruan Yingtong and media from the entertainment industry surrounded the fences on either side.

One luxury car after another parked at the entrance, all attended by the elite and aristocracy of Beijing.

Jiang Wenshan stepped out of his car dressed in a suit, squinting his eyes. Yaonan was impressive indeed; if he didn’t bring some capabilities himself, he really couldn’t outshine him.
