After I picked up the villain, I became popular

Chapter 286 So You Are Here
The magazine's annual dinner started on time.

As the top 1 entertainment and fashion magazine in China, even a dinner party can attract the attention of most people in the circle.

At the entrance of the hotel where the banquet was held, there were many reporters waiting there at the beginning, and some fans of the artists stood behind.

Ling Yao didn't like such occasions very much, nor did she hate them, at most she found it a bit troublesome.

But the magazine has specially sent her an invitation letter. If she doesn't come, there may be more troubles in the future, and it is not worthwhile to think about it.

Sheng Shi took over the position of editor-in-chief of the magazine not long ago, and he also wanted to use this anniversary dinner to secure his position, so this anniversary celebration was held much more grandly than before.

There are dozens of popular artists invited by the magazine alone.

Those little eighteenth-line artists couldn't make it to the stage even if they squeezed their heads.

Most celebrities have male and female companions, and Ling Yao didn't go out of her way to find them, but Chi Ming recommended An Nian to her, saying that the two of them walked the red carpet together.

An Nian is the first artist under Ling's banner, Ling Yao naturally wants to take her.

Although An Nian is a senior, his fame and status are not as good as Ling Yao's.

What's more, Ling Yao can be regarded as the focus of this banquet.

One must know that Shengshi invited not only those well-known businessmen and rich men in the field of investment in the entertainment industry, but also first-line stars, Ling Yao and An Nian were like exceptions.

Chi Ming personally drove Ling Yao to the hotel.

Originally, Yu Sizhuo should have come too, but he is filming recently, and it is about to wrap up, so there is really no time for him.

The car slowly stopped at the red carpet entrance.

Chi Ming looked back at An Nian and Ling Yao, and told them not to have any thoughts of stage fright.

An Nian was very nervous, she had hardly ever attended such a big dinner party.

Ling Yao remained calm as always, as if she wasn't the one who was going to walk the red carpet.

"Don't get too close to the two of you later, even if you're not of the opposite sex, bad news may come out."

Chi Ming gave such admonition because he didn't want people to spread rumors about Ling Yao's unspoken rules for An Nian.

Even if there is no evidence for this kind of thing, some unscrupulous media will spread it vividly.

The two nodded in unison.

"Let An Nian go out first, Ling Yao, wait."

As soon as Ling Yao appeared on the stage, it was guaranteed that most of the eyes would be on her, she was like a born star.

If An Nian followed Ling Yao, it would definitely be bleak.

An Nian was very self-aware, and after thanking him, he went out by himself.

She is wearing a long skirt today. Although it is not a particularly expensive high-end dress, it suits her very well.

With the recent popularity, An Nian has also successfully attracted the attention of many people.

When she walked halfway, Ling Yao got out of the car.

Good-looking, tall, and outstanding temperament... As Chi Ming expected, Ling Yao immediately attracted almost everyone's attention as soon as she appeared.

Ling Yao is not among the first-line stars, and her popularity is not that high, so there are still many media reporters and other fans who don't know her.

Many people whispered to each other, trying to find out who Ling Yao was.

Fortunately, not everyone knows about the business circle, otherwise Ling Yao would definitely be introduced as the eldest lady of Ronghua Group or something.

What she heard while walking on the red carpet were basically descriptions such as "the inside page of the new issue of the magazine" and "the little star who has been frequently searched recently".

Then came other people's predictions about her stardom.

Just because of Ling Yao's noble temperament and this face, if she can't get red, then there is definitely a problem.

For such an artist with potential at first glance, the media were of course happy to take two more photos.

In case of fire, these photos must be worth a lot.

Ling Yao didn't stay long on the red carpet, walking in high heels was still incredibly fast.

However, Ling Yao walked steadily, even if she walked fast, it still made people feel pleasing to the eye.

After entering the banquet hall, Ling Yao was relieved.

An Nian was not familiar with everyone present, but she couldn't just follow Ling Yao all the time. After saying hello, she went to talk to the people she had met a few times.

When Ling Yao came in, she attracted a lot of people's attention, but she is not on the front line now, so no one came to greet her and chat with her.

It was Sheng Shi, who was surrounded by the circle of first-line artists, who noticed Ling Yao's arrival.

He specially waved and walked towards Ling Yao with a smile.

The protagonist of the banquet has such a "enthusiasm" attitude towards Ling Yao, which immediately makes others even more curious about Ling Yao.

"I thought you wouldn't come over."

Sheng Shi's tone was so familiar that Ling Yao didn't know how to respond.

"Qiao Wenrui also came over today. I heard from him that you have already met."

"I saw it when I took a photo last time." Ling Yao replied.

"He told me he was your fan." Sheng Shi grinned and said, "He just likes to be acquainted, you don't mind."

"fine."

Ling Yao shook her head, but didn't follow the other person's words and asked where Qiao Wenrui was.

That person approached her with a purpose, Ling Yao didn't want to have more contact with him.

As for what Sheng Shi meant, Ling Yao didn't know.

She has no secret technique to hear other people's thoughts.

What Ling Yao didn't expect was that after she had only said a few words to Sheng Shi, he took the initiative to introduce someone familiar in the circle to Ling Yao, as if he was deliberately matchmaking.

After a while, most of the frontline staff recognized Ling Yao.

With such a friend as Shengshi, he seems to be a rich second generation, and his appearance is also outstanding. I don't know how many people envy Ling Yao.

"So you're here—"

Qiao Wenrui's voice came from not far away.

Before he finished speaking, he happened to see Ling Yao, so he suddenly laughed, "Miss Ling is also here... That's right, Miss Ling is here, and you don't need to greet anyone else."

Qiao Wenrui said a few words that were very hateful, and once made people look at Ling Yao, as if asking for proof.

Ling Yao pursed her lips, "Mr. Qiao was joking, it is Mr. Sheng who takes care of newcomers."

"Originally, I should be the one to offer this kindness, but I didn't expect Sheng Shi to steal it."

Qiao Wenrui blinked at Ling Yao, then turned to look at Sheng Shi, "Many guests are coming again, if you don't entertain them, don't neglect them."

Sheng Shi didn't say anything, he smiled apologetically at Ling Yao, said sorry and left.

As soon as the banquet host left, everyone's exploring eyes still did not shift away.

Most of the people present were well-informed, and they all knew Qiao Wenrui's identity very well.

From their point of view, even if Ling Yao was familiar with Sheng Shi, it was unbelievable that Ling Yao was also familiar with Qiao Wenrui.

Now, no one dared to underestimate Ling Yao, who was the youngest besides An Nian.

I even want to talk to her more.

Ling Yao didn't know what Qiao Wenrui's purpose was, so she just took him as an ordinary person who came to strike up a conversation.
