Chapter 201: Incapable of Drinking
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Unknowingly, it was already halfway through the gala.
The showbiz reporters had cleared out and headed back to burn the midnight oil preparing for tomorrow’s news.
At this moment, the entire venue was stripped off of its glamorous façade, just like removing a mask, to reveal a voluptuous appearance.
In that instant, the curtain was raised for the real gala, and the official event got into the true agenda.
The people who came to participate in this gala included many powerful and influential investors. With the help of some liqueurs, they started going around the venue to look for prey.
By this time, many female artistes, who could not hold their alcohol, were already tipsy. Giving them no chance to refuse, the investors directly took away whoever they chose.
Many rookies were ignorant of how the entertainment industry worked. Gulping down a few glasses of the specially prepared wine, they were soon in alcoholic stupor.
Yang Mi also had a bit too much to drink. She stuck close to Li Jiuxian, and they stayed together, cheek to cheek. She was much more daring in the absence of paparazzi, intimately circling his shoulders and exchanging whispers with him.
Han Yuyan shot a glance at them and secretly used her phone to capture a few pictures.
Yang Mi and Li Jiuxian had a scandal. It was rumored that they got together during filming, but both denied the affair, claiming that it was merely the media’s speculation.
However, in reality, the relationship between a man and a woman was not that simple in the world of show business.
Falling too deep into the act and turning fiction into reality were not uncommon. If Yang Mi were to acknowledge the relationship, this could take a blow to her popularity.
She was not foolish. She was simply using Li Jiuxian’s amazing career development to create hype for herself.
At a tranquil VIP seating, Yun Shishi leaned on the sofa, her entire vision somewhat hazy.
She did not take in a lot of alcohol tonight, but her capacity was surprisingly small. One sip, and her face was already red; one glass down, and her vision spun.
Coming down from the dance floor, Lin Fengtian led a few investors to her; he wanted her to give them a toast. Yun Shishi dared not refuse. Knowing how Lin Fengtian was as a person, she trusted him. She only needed to drink a glass of red wine, yet that one glass was enough to make her stumble about.
Lin Fengtian was so shocked his face turned pale upon witnessing this.
He assumed that Yun Shishi could hold her drink for quite a bit. Never did he think that just one glass down would make her this drunk.
He hurriedly helped her up to one side and called for Qin Zhou.
Qin Zhou was in the middle of helping Gu Xingze with his alcohol intake. As the latter chugged down glass after glass of liquor, Lin Fengtian rushed over and told Qin Zhou that Yun Shishi was completely drunk; he rolled his eyes.
“No way! Her alcohol capacity is this poor?”
He was entirely devastated. He sure had a terrible life as a manager. Forget Gu Xingze having poor alcohol capacity, now he also had to save Yun Shishi from her predicament.
He sighed, but he could do nothing about it.
He was quite fond of Yun Shishi. He rushed over, and as expected, she was already disoriented.
“Take her back first!” Gathering his thoughts, Lin Fengtian ordered this in exasperation.
“Alright. Then, I’ll have to trouble Director Lin to help me cope with this.”
Lin Fengtian waved at him in disgust.
Qin Zhou helped Yun Shishi out of the hotel, and a man, appearing to be a concierge, immediately came to them and cordially asked, “Sir, may I help you arrange for a vehicle?”
“Yes, please arrange for one to send this lady home!” he agreed without much pondering.
The concierge took out his walkie-talkie right away and proceeded to arrange a vehicle for her.
The vehicle swiftly arrived; it was a black Santana. Qin Zhou had wanted to help Yun Shishi board the vehicle, but he was stopped by the concierge.
