298: Chapter 298: This Uncle Must Have Gone Through the Wrong Door 298: Chapter 298: This Uncle Must Have Gone Through the Wrong Door In a luxurious hotel, Zheng Wenxiu had specially booked a private room to celebrate Bai Yunxi’s championship victory, inviting this event’s major contributor, Ning Fan!
Sitting in the private room, Bai Yunxi felt extremely happy.
She had won the championship last night, and together with Ning Fan, her dance had shocked the entire entertainment industry, leading to an influx of followers and a soaring reputation.
Inside the company, the big boss had also made a special call to commend and comfort her.
Through her agent, Zheng Wenxiu, Bai Yunxi learned that the company would also tilt its resources in her favor.
Good news came one after another, and Bai Yunxi’s future in show business seemed incredibly bright; she almost laughed out loud in her dreams.
At today’s celebration banquet, aside from a few of Bai Yunxi’s good friends from within the industry, she most looked forward to Ning Fan’s arrival.
Though she didn’t like the man, she felt a deep sense of gratitude towards him for helping her clinch the championship; it was undeniable that Ning Fan was truly capable.
“Yunxi, when Master Ning arrives later, you must thank him properly.
If it wasn’t for Master Ning, it might not have been so easy for you to win the championship this time!”
Sitting next to Bai Yunxi, Zheng Wenxiu earnestly advised her.
Ning Fan was not only Huo Lao’s senior brother but his performance last night had amazed the entire performance arts world.
If Bai Yunxi could connect with him and combine that with the company’s resources, her prospects were immeasurable.
An awkward expression crossed Bai Yunxi’s face; at this moment, she didn’t know how to respond to Zheng Wenxiu.
Her friends sitting around were also curious about the Master Ning Zheng Wenxiu mentioned.
Could it be that Ning Fan was the mysterious dance partner from last night?
Suddenly, all of Bai Yunxi’s friends in the private room became expectant.
About half an hour later, Ning Fan arrived with Xu Xiaoqing.
“Master Ning, you have finally arrived, please have a seat!”
As soon as Zheng Wenxiu saw Ning Fan, she hurriedly greeted him with a beaming smile.
Bai Yunxi’s friends all turned to look, sizing up Ning Fan with curiosity.
All of Bai Yunxi’s friends were quite beautiful, and Ning Fan, approached with their questions, did not turn any away, which irritated Xu Xiaoqing at his side.
Seeing Ning Fan being so close with her best friends, Bai Yunxi’s expression cooled, and she sat down pretending to be indifferent.
“This is Ning Fan, Master Ning, Huo Lao’s senior brother, the mysterious person who performed with Yunxi last night.
Without him, it would not have been so easy for our Yunxi to win the championship!”
Standing next to Ning Fan, Zheng Wenxiu was flattering him, showing none of the contempt she had initially felt upon meeting him.
Now, because of Ning Fan’s abilities and his status, Zheng Wenxiu treated him like a treasured asset.
“Huo Lao’s senior brother?!”
“The mysterious person from last night?!”
Hearing Zheng Wenxiu’s introduction, stars appeared in the eyes of all of Bai Yunxi’s friends.
“No worries, even without me, Miss Bai would have won the championship with her own skills!”
Ning Fan replied modestly before sitting down at the urging of Zheng Wenxiu.
“Master Ning, you are truly modest.
Yunxi often talks about you after returning home.
Your dance skills are amazing.
If you have the chance in the future, you must teach Yunxi more!”
While speaking, Zheng Wenxiu hastily gave Bai Yunxi a meaningful glance.
But Bai Yunxi, as if she hadn’t seen her at all, continued chatting with her good friends about other matters and started to eat, ignoring Ning Fan.
Seeing her pick up her chopsticks, Zheng Wenxiu’s face changed.
She looked awkwardly at Ning Fan: “Master Ning, you must be hungry.
These are all signature dishes here, please don’t hold back!”
In this moment, Zheng Wenxiu was again overly attentive, introducing the dishes on the table to Ning Fan and even kindly serving him, much to the annoyance of Xu Xiaoqing who was sitting nearby.
Manager Zheng Wenxiu was inherently attractive, and when Xu Xiaoqing saw how attentively she was catering to Ning Fan, and how Ning Fan’s eyes were drawn to her, she suddenly became unhappy.
“Ning Fan, let’s change seats!”
“Why change seats all of a sudden?”
Ning Fan looked at Xu Xiaoqing, puzzled.
“I said let’s change seats!”
Xu Xiaoqing glared at Ning Fan, her tone brooked no argument, and the atmosphere in the private room immediately turned somewhat awkward.
Seeing this, Ning Fan eventually moved aside, letting Xu Xiaoqing sit between himself and Zheng Wenxiu.
The private room was filled with an awkward mood, even Bai Yunxi, who pretended to be indifferent, didn’t dare to move at that moment.
Especially her circle of friends, whose gossiping nature was sparked, watched the trio of Ning Fan, Xu Xiaoqing, and Zheng Wenxiu with a bit of excitement in their eyes.
Eventually, unable to endure the awkward atmosphere, Ning Fan stood up and apologized with a smile to everyone: “I’m going to use the restroom, you guys keep eating, don’t wait for me!”
After saying this, Ning Fan ran out as if escaping, not closing the door properly, leaving a crack through which the inside of the private room could be seen.
The room was still filled with an uncomfortable vibe, with Xu Xiaoqing watching Zheng Wenxiu as well as Bai Yunxi—more accurately, all the females in the room except herself—as if guarding against thieves.
This made everyone else feel a bit tense as they looked at Xu Xiaoqing.
Just then, a middle-aged fat man walked by the door and curiously glanced inside.
At that glance, he saw Bai Yunxi sitting in the private room and was immediately struck by her beauty as if seeing a celestial being.
The middle-aged fat man, stroking his chin, looked at Bai Yunxi with an inexplicable gleam in his eyes, and finally pushed the door open and walked in.
This commotion drew everyone’s attention.
Aside from Zheng Wenxiu, everyone looked at the middle-aged fat man with confusion.
Did this uncle walk into the wrong room?
This thought simultaneously arose in everyone’s minds.
At that moment, however, Zheng Wenxiu frowned slightly, as she recognized the middle-aged fat man.
Immediately, a smile appeared on her face, and she stood up.
“Isn’t this Boss Xiao?”
The middle-aged fat man, named Xiao Jiba, was not just anybody, but a small boss in the circle with some clout.
Yet Zheng Wenxiu had not invited this man.
Besides Bai Yunxi’s friends, she had only invited Ning Fan and Xu Xiaoqing to the celebration.
Xiao Jiba’s uninvited presence made Zheng Wenxiu help herself to suspecting that his purpose of coming here was probably for Bai Yunxi!
“I just happened to be passing by and saw the champion from last night here.
My old buddies and I are right next door, and if Miss Bai has the time, why not join us for a drink?
You can get to know us too!”
Xiao Jiba squeezed a smile onto his meaty face, looking at Bai Yunxi with a somewhat arrogant tone.
As soon as these words were uttered, everyone in the private room furrowed their brows.
It was known that Xiao Jiba was quite a figure in the circle, and by calling out Bai Yunxi explicitly, it naturally made the others feel uncomfortable.
