Chapter 27 Banquet Situation (1)
Since Jade Picture was purchased by Luke Up Group, stars from Jade Picture have started to make
plans. It’s well-known that Luke Up Group has many excellent male elites. Moreover, it has the military
and political background. Whoever has the chance to date an important figure will have a promising ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
future in the entertainment circle.
“Here he is...”
Someone shouts and the noisy people instantly shut up, leaving the elegant music echoing in the silent
hall.
Luke Lu, the most powerful business tycoon these years in Xicheng, comes out of a stretched Lincoln
limousine at the gate where the long red carpet starts.
He looks even taller in an advanced customized black suit with appropriate tailoring, straight trousers
above ankles and polished shoes. Every single one of his motions shows his nobility, bending over to
get off the car, turning around and raising his arm to support his companion.
“He’s with a companion?”
“It is impossible.”
Some low voices question in the crowd.
Part of the fair arm proves that must be a female, though her face is vague under the flashing light.
Luke used to attend banquets with George, not a female mate. So people even suspected Luke was
not interested in women.
Jenny hesitates a bit since she’s influenced by scandals now. Luke didn’t tell her it would be such a
grand banquet.
Seeing Jenny maintain unmoved, Luke doesn’t urge her because he’s curious about He wants to see
what the psychological quality of this woman is.
Jenny glances over the red carpet in the car, and sees stars from Jade Picture on one end of the
carpet, among who is Jessica who stands like a queen by Frankie and stares at her direction with
doubts.
Anger wells up in Jenny’s heart for her disloyal friend instead of the jerk.
But she can’t lose the face. Luke is a huge backbone for her. Why not make full use of him?
As Jenny gets out, holding Luke by the arm, her long backless purple dress drags to the floor. She
finally shows, wearing a happy smile on her angel-like face and facing cameras generously.
“Do I know her?”
“It’s Jenny.”
“That’s not possible.”
Luke lifts his lips up slightly as he finds it interesting that Jenny is not as weak as she looks.
Mr. Wang from Jade Picture has waited at the gate for a long time. When Luke shows, he puts on a
smile to welcome Luke, “Mr. Lu, you’re finally here. I thought you wouldn’t come as you are always
occupied.”
When seeing Jenny, Mr. Wang hesitates to ask, “And this beautiful lady is?”
“Wow, you don’t even recognize your star?” Luke’s eyes flash with coldness.
Corruption is serious in Jade Picture, and it should be rearranged.
Mr. Wang is confused until he’s reminded. He says, wiping the sweat on his forehead, “Of course not.
She’s Jenny from Shawn’s group, isn’t she? She’s too pretty today. I didn’t know Jenny is acquainted
with you.”
As he finishes his words, he looks at Jenny kindly, “Jenny, you must be busy shooting lately. If you are
tired, tell us and we’ll shorten your schedule.”
Jenny hesitates to say, “Mr. Wang, I have no jobs lately...”
She’s nearly fired, how would she have jobs?
Mr. Wang changes his face and glances at the people around him. Before Jenny continues, someone
who looks like an assistant interrupts, “It’s getting late. Everyone is waiting for the champagne. Mr. Lu,
this way please.”
Jenny has no chance to say the company wants to terminate an agreement with her.
She frowns and stops talking. Then she walks to the hall, holding Luke by the arm.
When she passes Jessica and Frankie, she merely glances at them coldly as if they were strangers.
Jessica stands there, clenching her fist. If she is right, Jenny is wearing Goddess Venus from
Eshmour’s winter key collection. Luke even gets this for her to wear. Obviously, they have special
relation.
“But do you think you have backer? Jenny, just wait and see.”
After the champagne opening, Luke clinks glasses with John Wang, the previous president of Jade
Picture, in front of all stars and leaders from Jade Picture. This is a sign to clear all previous
contradictions for the future cooperation. This is what it looks like but everyone knows clearly what it is
really like behind.
They are happy to toast each other, but they all have their own thought.
Jenny stands off the stage, feeling bored. She ate nothing and drank nothing during those two hours
when stylists dressed up for her. She’s been hungry. Seeing the attracting desserts on the table, she
makes up her mind. Forget the diet since there are no jobs lately.
Even though she thinks so, she naturally picks up the smallest cake and carefully tastes it bite by bite
with a fork.
When she was new in the entertainment circle, Shawn told her chewing slowly would make her feel
stuffed faster.
In fact, Jenny cares least about keeping diets in the whole company. Other stars don’t even eat
desserts.
“Jenny.” Someone calls her.
Jenny turns around and finds several stars carrying the hemlines and wine glasses and walking
towards her. They are not famous but they like to form cliques.
In the past, Jenny disliked them, the leader Mimi in particular. Mimi likes to visit Mr. Wang in the office
all the time. She did get many good chances but she didn’t get popular at all. The company is helpless
about her.
Seeing they are coming to her, she feels the cake doesn’t taste good any more.
“Long time no see, Jenny.” Mimi wears a black gauze skirt and walked with a scent of fragrance. Her
style is being sexy. She wears so little that her breasts are almost exposed and even women can’t help
looking at them.
Jenny thinks to herself, “I don’t think we’re close.”
But she still appears gentle, “It’s been long. You’re always busy.”
Mimi shakes her hand, “Not quite busy. Just the propaganda for the movies last year. I don’t have a job
for this year yet. But you’ve been quite a trending topic lately.”
Mimi’s words make Jenny frown.
“I don’t mean those faking scandals.”
Mimi seems to realize she said something wrong so she changes a topic and says with smile, “I have a
job. The previous second leading canceled the contract on her own, so the director is really anxious. I
think you match the character. If you’re not busy, I can recommend you for the audition.”
