The organizers quickly arrived and immediately zeroed in on Song Luokui. One of them approached her directly, "Miss Song, I didn't expect you to come today! Your presence truly illuminates this event!"

Instantly, all eyes turned towards Song Luokui, who was a bit dazed. "Hello, who are you?"

"My name is Li Jiandang. You may not know me, but you should be familiar with my nephew Chen Nan."

Upon hearing this, Song Luokui understood. "Then I should call you Uncle Li. Hello, Uncle Li."

"Oh no, I can't accept that." He dared not take on that title, given his affiliation with the prestigious Chi Family.

Li Jiandang then turned to Lou Sasa and Weng Jiao. "Are you ladies from the Lou and Weng families? I wonder what happened? Who has upset you?"

Lou Sasa pointed her chin at Qiu SuEr. "She upset me and wanted someone to take me out." sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NøᴠᴇlFire.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Li Jiandang took one look and immediately instructed someone nearby. "Take that person away. Don't disturb our honored guests."

Qiu SuEr's eyes widened. "But my father is..." Before she could finish, her mouth was covered by the security guard on Li Jiandang's signal.

Li Jiandang said, "It is our honor to have you three ladies here. I hope this small matter won't bother you." Although addressing all three, his main gaze was fixed on Song Luokui.

Lou Sasa and Weng Jiao also looked at Song Luokui, who replied, "Of course, thank you Uncle Li."

Li Jiandang surveyed the room. "All right, it was just a small incident. I apologize for the disturbance. I hope everyone enjoys the evening."

Li Jiandang quickly left, and Song Luokui's group returned to their seats. Many people around them secretly glanced in their direction, wondering which influential family's daughters were treated with such deference by Li Jiandang.

Yu Hui also approached Song Luokui. "Boss, are you okay? I'm sorry, I was on the other side and didn't see what happened."

Song Luokui reassured her, "It's fine, you couldn't have done anything even if you were here. Go back to work, we're alright here." Indeed, no one dared offend them now.

Not only were they untouchable, but many nearby were gleefully amused to see Qiu SuEr being unceremoniously removed by security.

"The biggest news of the night!"

"It's a good thing it wasn't live-streamed. Otherwise, Qiu SuEr would have been utterly disgraced!"

"Even if not live-streamed, we can still..."

"Who are those three ladies? At first, I thought they were new celebrities."

"They must be from some influential family. Qiu SuEr was too arrogant. Doesn't she know there's always someone more powerful?"

"What does she know? Her family's company isn't even in the top 200 in Hua Country. Why is she always so haughty?"

"Exactly, she got what she deserved."

...

Later, when Song Luokui went to the restroom, she witnessed an unsavory scene as she exited. A sleazy older man was harassing a young, beautiful woman. Though the woman kept rejecting his advances, she didn't want to create a scene.

Perhaps Song Luokui's gaze was too obvious, as the two immediately noticed her. The woman became flustered, while the sleazy man's eyes lit up upon seeing Song Luokui. "Which company are you from? Why don't you come with me? I can help you get any role you want and make you a star. How about it?"

This man hadn't been present earlier, so he was unaware of the previous incident.

Song Luokui looked at the woman. "Aren't you leaving?"

The woman quickly fled. "Offending him could get me blacklisted."

Song Luokui shrugged. "So be it. I'm not in the entertainment industry."

As the sleazy man approached Song Luokui, leering at her with lecherous eyes and reaching out to grope her, two bodyguards suddenly appeared beside him. They kicked and twisted him, eliciting pig-like squeals of pain.

Song Luokui ordered, "Close the door and beat him up, then report him."

The door was quickly closed, and the sounds of a vicious beating could be heard from inside.

The woman nearby was stunned. Song Luokui left, saying, "Let's go."

After the banquet ended and Song Luokui's group departed, another piece of gossip spread.

"Did you hear? President Zhou from Jin Ding was beaten up in a hotel room."

"Really? He deserved it! That sleazy old man has ruined so many people."

"Well done to the person behind it. I call them a hero!"

Within a week, news of President Zhou's illegal crimes reached the authorities, and everyone in the circle celebrated, especially female entertainers.

"Chen Nan told me you attended a celebrity banquet?" Chi Yu was video-calling Song Luokui. On the screen, he was shirtless, using a towel to wipe the water dripping from his hair down his neck and chest...

He was clearly trying to seduce her...

Song Luokui averted her gaze, not daring to stare. "Yes, I just went to have some fun."

Chi Yu's eyes narrowed. "I heard you encountered some trouble?"

Song Luokui nodded. "Yeah, I ran into a couple of troublemakers."

Chi Yu's expression turned cold. "If they can't see clearly, then perhaps they shouldn't have eyes at all."

Sensing his warning, Song Luokui quickly reassured him, "It's fine, they were dealt with. Don't do anything else, okay?"

Chi Yu smiled. "Don't worry, I won't. I'm just getting rid of some pests for the good of the country."

"Alright then."

Chi Yu asked, "Did you receive the gift I sent you?"

On Song Luokui's table, the gift box he had sent was still open, containing designer bags, jewelry, cosmetics, and perfumes.

Song Luokui nodded. "I got it."

To please him, she hinted at missing his company. "When are you coming back? There are some new movies out. You could come back, and we could go watch them together."

Chi Yu's gaze immediately softened. "I'll try to return soon."

Song Luokui offered, "Okay, let me know when you're back. I'll pick you up from the airport."

"Okay."

Suddenly, a foreign man entered from behind Chi Yu, carrying a sniper rifle and acting very familiar with him. He said something chilling in English, "Hi, Bro, all the guys was killed..."

*Click* Pool Yu immediately moved the camera down, turning off the sound as well. Song Luokui only saw Pool Yu's lower body wrapped in a towel and a glimpse of his abs...

Song Luokui: ???

Less than a minute later, Pool Yu moved the camera back up: "Sorry about that, there was a little accident."

Song Luokui saw that the foreigner was gone.

Song Luokui: "That guy earlier..."

Pool Yu said seriously: "He was holding a toy gun, saying he wanted to play a game."

Song Luokui: ...Do you think I believe that?

Pool Yu suddenly felt a bit awkward too.

Song Luokui: "You're not in any danger, are you?" She remembered that in the book, the male lead encountered many dangers on his way to becoming the world's richest man.

Pool Yu: "No, I won't be in any danger." Even if there was danger, he would crawl out of hell for her.

Song Luokui was still a bit worried, afraid that because of her, there would be major deviations from the book's plot. "You must be careful."

"Okay~ I'll go home a little earlier."

"Mmhmm."
