I've Already Snagged a Top-tier Goddess at the Start; I'm Incredibly Wealthy!

100: Dan Palace DinnerBefore long, Li Meng had arrived.

This high-end private butler from Seville, with her hair neatly tied up, immediately entered battle mode.

Under her arrangements, the table was quickly filled with various pastries, fruit platters, and waiters also served a variety of alcoholic beverages.

After the piano interlude, everyone toured the Tan Palace, took photos, and chatted with each other, as if they had truly integrated into high society.

This top luxurious mansion in Huaxia, long dormant, was now revitalized.

As night fell, the chefs had also finished preparing the dishes.

The huge main dining room could accommodate more than twenty people for dinner, and under the crystal chandeliers, everyone’s faces were flushed with excitement.

Looking around, although they were all eighteenth-tier actresses, each had an attractive appearance and refined features, appearing even more charming and beautiful in this resplendent environment.

Cao Lang sat at the head of the table, completely unpretentious. He raised his glass and said heartily, “Everyone, eat well, drink well, and have fun today!”

These words were very down-to-earth.

The cleaning aunties, who were clearing the dishes, couldn’t help but secretly observe this new owner.

They belonged to the Tan Palace’s housekeeping service and had served many Tan Palace owners!

When those tycoons, each worth tens of billions, gathered, which one of them didn’t put on airs and pretend?

This was truly the first time they had seen such a down-to-earth gathering like Cao Lang’s.

“This Mr. Cao is really different,” the older cleaning auntie whispered to her companion.

“Indeed, the Qin Group next door is also celebrating a birthday, luckily they didn’t ask for housekeeping services.”

“The cleaners over there are all pretty young women who graduated with master’s degrees from 985 universities; we wouldn’t be qualified to go there.”

Similar to the joyful laughter on Cao Lang’s side, Old Master Qin’s birthday banquet was also exceptionally lively.

In the vast banquet hall, everyone was dressed in suits and ties, impeccably polite, with standard social smiles on their faces.

Qin Cheng, wearing a custom Armani suit, shook hands and exchanged pleasantries with several popular female celebrities.

The other party was very polite and courteous, but the actresses seemed to want to avoid him.

“Young Master Qin, you are truly dashing today,” Sister Mi, a top celebrity in the entertainment industry, said politely, but her body subtly retreated half a step.

Qin Cheng subtly sized up this glamorous film queen, while maintaining his composure on the surface:

“Not at all, it’s the Old Master’s birthday today, and I’m very grateful that everyone could come.”

There were many top female celebrities present, including Zhao Liying, Reba, Yang Zi, Bai Lu, Yan Ni, and so on.

Qin Cheng greeted them one by one, and they all responded with compliments.

After all, this was the future successor of the Qin Group, which had interests in various industries, and its influence in the entertainment industry was also very significant!

Although it hadn’t reached the point of being a one-man show, it was still easy to blacklist a celebrity.

“Damn it, these pretentious actors, I’ll take care of all of you sooner or later!”

Qin Cheng thought to himself, and in his mind, these actresses all met a tragic end.

However, with the Old Master still alive, he didn’t dare to act recklessly.

Compared to the relaxed atmosphere on Cao Lang’s side, a suffocating tension permeated the entire banquet hall, with everyone cautiously maintaining appearances.

At an event of this caliber, anyone you casually met would be a top figure in various industries; ordinary people simply couldn’t get in... On Cao Lang’s side, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Zheng Yi, as a director, had seen all kinds of scenes, and at this moment, he took the lead in enlivening the atmosphere:

“Come on, come on, since CEO Cao is so hospitable, let’s not be shy! Let’s play finger-guessing games and drink!”

He rolled up his sleeves, as if ready for a big fight.

Xue Ziqi and Xu Yizhen, two actresses who usually had a strong presence and goddess-like aura on set, relaxed after a few glasses of red wine, reverting to their girlish demeanor.

“I want to join too!” Xue Ziqi’s cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.

“Count me in!” Xu Yizhen also raised her glass.

The two began to egg each other on, and their conversation became more frequent.

“Ziqi, I still think your crying scene in ’Youth Campus’ was a bit lacking!”

“How dare you criticize me? Your last kissing scene had more than ten NGs (no good)!”

“That’s because the male actor was too terrible, okay!”

“If CEO Cao were acting a kissing scene with me, I would definitely be fully immersed! Not a single NG!”

Everyone around them was amused, and laughter filled the spacious dining room.

Little Duo Duo was also inexplicably excited in such a large villa. She ran around, touching this vase for a moment, then looking at that ornament, her big eyes full of curiosity.

“Uncle Cao, your house is so big and beautiful! I’ve only seen it in cartoons,” Duo Duo ran to Cao Lang’s side, tugging at his clothes.

Cao Lang patted her little head and said gently, “As long as you like it, you can come whenever you want.”

Seeing everyone happy, Cao Lang raised his glass and said loudly, “Everyone, drink as much as you like! If you get drunk, you can stay here! There are plenty of rooms!”

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up, each with their own intentions!

Staying overnight here was a small matter; wouldn’t there be many opportunities to be in the same room as CEO Cao? Maybe they could knock on his door in the middle of the night to bring him a cup of tea... Wang Tangtang took a small sip of wine, walked to her grandma’s side, and whispered, “Mom, please take Duo Duo home safely later.”

Wang Tangtang took a small sip of wine, walked to her grandma’s side, and whispered, “Mom, please take Duo Duo home safely later.”

The elderly woman understood, nodded, and smiled gently:

“I know, I’ll take good care of Duo Duo. CEO Cao has been very good to you; you must act well for him. If it weren’t for his promotion, how could we be reunited?”

“Alright, Mom, now isn’t the time to talk about this.”

Wang Tangtang’s face was flushed, and she stopped the old woman’s nagging.

Xue Ziqi and Xu Yizhen exchanged glances, understanding each other implicitly.

They poured themselves two more glasses of red wine and clinked them together:

“Cheers to our departed youth!”

“Cheers to our wonderful time tonight!”

The two drank it all, their cheeks growing redder, and being poor drinkers, they seemed a bit tipsy.

Ye Wanqing sat aside, watching the lively crowd, her mood very complex.

She silently poured herself a glass of red wine, took a small sip, feeling a little stifled!

To be honest, her beauty overshadowed all the women present. She naturally had an aura that made her the center of attention wherever she went.

But Cao Lang seemed to have completely failed to notice her!

The alcohol made her usually calm nerves somewhat slack, and her eyes became hazy.

She secretly glanced at Cao Lang, her heart beating a little faster.

She wondered which girl would ultimately benefit from such an excellent man as CEO Cao?

Ye Wanqing lowered her head, silent, her hands placed on her artistic-like beautiful legs, concealing her unease.

While those around her were laughing and talking, she felt a little lonely.

She was an actress from a reputable drama school, but later offended a big shot and was blacklisted, which was common knowledge. To be honest, participating in short dramas was indeed a bit beneath her!

After coming to Xingyao Media, she was also a bit of a misfit; the other young actresses wouldn’t talk to her.

A phoenix in distress is not even as good as a chicken.

Ye Wanqing’s status at Xingyao Media was actually not high at all! She couldn’t compare to Xue Ziqi or Xu Yizhen.

However, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

Although her status was low, everyone was still inwardly wary of her.

Everyone’s attitude towards Ye Wanqing actually depended entirely on Cao Lang’s attitude!

If Cao Lang paid special attention to her, it would indicate that Ye Wanqing had gained the boss’s favor, and everyone would rush to curry favor with Ye Wanqing.

If Cao Lang was indifferent to her, everyone’s attitude would also be relatively cold.

In the workplace, subordinates observe the preferences of those in power; it has been this way for thousands of years!

After Ye Wanqing was signed, Cao Lang never treated her specially. He only added a few scenes for her today, and everyone saw that Ye Wanqing’s screentime was not much, completely incomparable to Wang Tangtang, Xue Ziqi, and Xu Yizhen’s screentime!

So everyone just regarded Ye Wanqing as a very ordinary colleague.

Even tonight, Cao Lang chatted and laughed with everyone but never initiated a conversation with Ye Wanqing.

He kept neglecting her... Ye Wanqing was a bit depressed, drinking alone, even wondering if her charm was insufficient!

Was she really no longer attractive to men?

She couldn’t even compare to a seven-year-old child!

She looked down at her outfit—a hip-hugging skirt, a knitted top, a pair of slender legs. Aside from not wearing black stockings, there were no fashion missteps... She straightened her back again; her proud bosom hadn’t shrunk, still a 36D... bigger than most women present, right... Ye Wanqing really wanted to sing a song:

After three rounds of drinks, you’re in the corner, stubbornly singing a bitter song... Friendly reminder: The website is about to be revised, which may cause loss of reading progress.
