Chapter 312: Chapter 312: Charity Gala Invitation

Du Sang’s dinner party wasn’t urgent, because it was still a month until the start of autumn, giving Jiang Li plenty of time to consider.

However, it wasn’t long before she received a message from the "Labor Team" group chat.

It turned out that several of them had also received invitations one after another.

Wen Jiaojiao was particularly excited about this.

"Jiang Li, let’s find a time to go shopping, I’ll take you to a few haute couture stores, let’s get our dresses ordered in advance, to avoid missing out on the good styles when the time comes."

Shu Yan also agreed, "Although the Du Sang dinner isn’t a charity event swarming with big brands, it does attract some prominent figures, especially some of the stars who have just risen to fame and want to shine at this opportunity. It’s quite hard to not be outshined."

Qi Tianyu joined the conversation, "You’re all going? Then, I’ll go too!"

Wen Jiaojiao huffed, "Aren’t you supposed to be in some competition? You’re so busy we hardly see you, do you even have time for a banquet?"

"Alas," Qi Tianyu waved his hand, "That competition is after school starts, there’s still time. Besides, it’s important to balance work and play. It’s just a party, and I’ve never been to one before."

Wen Jiaojiao excitedly started to educate him about the dos and don’ts of a charity auction dinner.

Having attended various parties with her parents since she was young, she was well-versed in the etiquette of such auctions.

Jiang Li listened along for a while.

Having lived in the ancient past for too long, she had nearly forgotten many modern things and still needed to slowly catch up.

However, halfway through the conversation, Wen Jiaojiao suddenly remembered something else.

"Wait, Qi Tianyu, you’re obviously a flying guest, how did you receive an invitation too? Doesn’t that mean—"

Doesn’t that mean Su Yinwan and Shang Shaojing, those two detrimental people, also got invitations?!

Qi Tianyu immediately understood her implication and fell silent.

Everyone unconsciously looked toward Jiang Li on the other end of the screen.

Jiang Li flipped a page of her book and said indifferently, "What’s meant to come will come, there’s no escaping it."

"Lili, it’s clear that the Su girl is targeting you, anyone with eyes can see that. You’re too kind-hearted, not getting angry at all," Wen Jiaojiao said indignantly.

Jiang Li looked at her calmly, "Why should I be angry? She’s not someone I care about. As long as she doesn’t harm my personal safety or interests, I’ll just treat her like a puff of air."

Wen Jiaojiao was somewhat surprised.

She had thought about Jiang Li’s mentality, but she hadn’t expected her to be so composed.

She couldn’t help but give a thumbs up, "You’ve got the mindset of a natural entertainer. If you were in the entertainment industry, you’d definitely become a queen."

Jiang Li just smiled and said nothing.

Jiang Yan, who came in later, was completely lost.

"I mean, what are you guys talking about? What party?"

Wen Jiaojiao pretended to be shocked, "The Du Sang charity auction dinner. Didn’t you get an invitation?"

Jiang Yan: ???

"What invitation? You all got one?!"

Everyone nodded in sync.

Jiang Yan: ???

What’s going on? Did they intentionally leave him out?

Just as he was comforting himself that he surely wasn’t the only one who hadn’t received an invitation, Director Sun also popped up in the "Flash Transformation Family" group chat.

"Everyone has received the invitation to the Du Sang evening event, right? I got mine too, see you there! Excited!"

Wen Jiaojiao: [Wow, Director Sun, you got one too, that’s great, we can gather again!]

Shu Yan: [Looking forward to it, already thinking about what to wear.]

Qi Tianyu: [Must attend, it’s not often we get to meet up!]

Jiang Li: [Then, I’ll go as well.]

Wen Jiaojiao: [@Jiang Yan, what’s the matter, why so quiet today, young master?]

Shu Yan: [@Jiang Yan]

Qi Tianyu: [@Jiang Yan]

Watching the @ messages continuously popping up on his phone screen, Jiang Yan’s face turned utterly dark.

Fuck! Could this party be the damn Shang Shaojing’s doing?!

Why the hell didn’t they send me an invite?!

As the conversation flowed, they started to realize something was off.

Qi Tianyu: "How come there has been no word from Mr. He up to now? Hasn’t he just finished filming with the crew?"

Shu Yan: "Yeah, @He Yun, you’re going to attend, right, Mr. He?"

After a long while, He Yun finally replied with a message—

"I’ve been quite busy recently, I might not attend. Arrange it amongst yourselves."

Seeing this, everyone felt a bit disappointed, but they could only respect He Yun’s personal wishes.

After all, he was the only real deal in the group, so it was normal for him to be busy.

However, Jiang Yan was the only one looking at all the messages with an ominous cloud over his face.

This won’t do!

An uncle could bear it, but an aunt could not!

He must find out who on earth was the organizer of this Du Sang party!

He’s someone with over three million followers on Weibo!

How could he not receive this little invitation?

However, just as he was preparing to show off his capabilities, he received another message from Shen Lan—

"My dear nephew, do you have time recently? There’s something very important I need to talk to you about. Once your grounding is lifted, remember to come to Star Media!"

Jiang Yan was puzzled.

What could Second Aunt possibly want with him out of the blue?

...

...

Zhou Wenshu took quite some effort to find the Jiang Family’s address given by his mother.

Looking at the surrounding villas, big and small, it still felt somewhat surreal to him.

Just a few days ago, his mother had come to him, saying that Zhou Wenqi had a classmate whose family was in need of a music tutor and asked him to give it a look when he had the time.

Zhou Wenshu glanced at his brother who was buried in homework and fell silent.

Zhou Wenqi had almost no friends from childhood, how could he suddenly have such a wealthy one?

It must be someone taking him for a ride.

Zhou Wenshu didn’t expose it but verbally agreed to check it out.

He had been indeed very busy recently.

His studio was about to go under.

His music couldn’t get released, the partners were either quarreling or leaving, and he was left with a mountain of debt.

But he dared not tell his family, as his mother and brother already had enough to shoulder. He didn’t want to be a burden on them.

It was only because he had been driven to his wit’s end and couldn’t even afford meals recently that he remembered this address.

The crumpled paper had been in his bag for so long that it took him a great deal of effort to smooth it out, and after circling around for an hour or two, he finally located the place.

Might as well give it a shot as a last resort.

He was about to be so poor he’d have to beg on the streets anyway, so what did it matter if he got kicked out as a crazy person?

Under the blazing sun, Zhou Wenshu, drenched in sweat, rang the bell of the opulent villa in front of him.

Quickly, someone who looked like a butler came running over.

"Who are you?"

Zhou Wenshu, clutching the strap of his bag nervously, took a deep breath and managed a strained smile: "I—I’m Zhou Wenshu. I’m here for Miss Jiang; she said she needs a music tutor."

As he anxiously awaited to be scolded by the middle-aged man in front of him, he heard a "click."

The door in front of him opened, and the butler stepped out.

"Ah, so it’s Mr. Zhou! The young miss already told me about you, I’ve been waiting for you for several days!"
