Chapter 528: Chapter 528

He Jinxia pondered for a moment before agreeing. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Since Deng Zhaoyan held a grudge against Geng Ni, that made Geng Ni her friend.

She and Geng Ni were striving in different fields. There was no need to worry about competing for each other’s resources.

A smile graced He Jinxia’s face as she stood up and said, "Actually, I’ve wanted to take a photo with you for a long time, but I just never found the opportunity."

Upon hearing this, the smile on Geng Ni’s face deepened. He Jinxia really was a clever person.

Just then, as the A-list celebrities finished their walk, it was time for the B-list celebrities to leave, and Geng Ni and He Jinxia walked out arm in arm.

The other B and C-list celebrities watched them leave with envy, completely unaware that He Jinxia and Geng Ni had just exchanged a few words throughout their entire acquaintance.

In the entertainment circle, finding true sisters is difficult, but finding allies is very simple.

The two took photos together at the signature wall and background wall, agreeing to update their Weibo with the photos after the dinner, and then they entered the banquet together.

The Golden Custard Award dinner was open to certain celebrities, such as those who had won awards at today’s Golden Custard Festival. Some famous celebrities who had not won awards could also attend.

The celebrities appearing at the dinner had resources, networks, and popularity.

He Jinxia and Geng Ni entered together at a time that was neither too early nor too late. As soon as they arrived, many celebrities turned their attention to them.

At the dinner, Geng Ni was busy networking with other celebrities and soon split up from He Jinxia.

Together, Geng Ni could attract some attention, but once it was just He Jinxia alone, she was almost under the collective scrutiny of many celebrities.

At the award ceremony, due to the presence of cameras, the celebrities’ glances at her were very discreet. Now, without such concerns, many were openly sizing her up.

He Jinxia casually glanced around and could see the content of their conversations behind her back.

These stars were veterans, knowing full well that He Jinxia was too far to hear them if they spoke openly.

Moreover, sometimes when you speak in front of others, they might not even think you are talking about them. But if you specifically cover your face and whisper, others are likely to think you are speaking about them.

Thus, their discussions about He Jinxia were unguarded, of course, without any obvious looks in her direction.

Because of this, He Jinxia had no trouble reading their lips.

"It seems Tonghua Entertainment is going to strongly support her. They even brought out Sheng Yan to personally present her with the award during the ceremony."

"Yes, it’s rare for a superstar at the Golden Custard Awards to present awards to two actors. Usually, superstars only present the Golden Custard Goddess Award to avoid diminishing their status.

But today, Sheng Yan first gave the award to He Jinxia before the Golden Custard Goddess, and earlier on Weibo, Sheng Yan even subtly spoke up for He Jinxia!"

"All of them are artists under Tonghua Entertainment; Tonghua Entertainment really treats its artists well, unlike my small company that only thinks about how to exploit me to make more money."

"Yes, it makes me want to switch to Tonghua Entertainment, but I don’t know if I meet their criteria."

"Ah, if it weren’t for the ten-year indenture contract on me..."

After reading for a while and realizing the content was much the same, He Jinxia stopped and started looking for some juice instead.

She thought she would be criticized by many artists, but instead, they were all discussing Tonghua Entertainment.

He Jinxia’s eyes flickered slightly. This was probably for the best; she had been too conspicuous lately, and it was time to use the company as a shield.

Having found some juice, He Jinxia began to wander around and soon spotted Yu Yanyu and Qin Siqin. After thinking for a moment, she decided to approach Qin Siqin first.

Qin Siqin was chatting with several men in suits and ties, who appeared slightly portly. He Jinxia initially thought they were directors, so she stopped a few steps behind Qin Siqin.

Qin Siqin hadn’t noticed her yet, but the men did and all looked up at her.

Seeing this, Qin Siqin also turned around, looking somewhat startled as her eyebrows furrowed.

He Jinxia sensed something off in her look, felt a chill in her heart, and immediately turned to leave. However, the men in front of Qin Siqin had already approached her, calling out her name.

He Jinxia had no choice but to stop, smiling at them.

One of the men looked at her with a mockingly amused expression and took the initiative to speak, "He Jinxia, hello, I have long admired your renown."

He Jinxia’s eyes hardened slightly, sensing hostility. She kept her composure and responded, "Hello, may I ask who you are?" For origınal chapters go to novel fire.net

The man tugged at his mouth, a hint of sarcasm crossing his face, "Well, for a busy person like you, it’s normal not to know me."

Qin Siqin immediately made a face at her, trying to smooth things over, "President Li, it’s Jinxia’s first time attending the Golden Custard Award, she is young and unknowledgeable, and doesn’t recognize people well."

She extended her hand towards Jinxia and introduced, "Jinxia, this is President Li, one of the members of the Golden Custard Award Organizing Committee. President Li is a renowned investor in film and television. He has invested in many blockbuster movies and is known in the circle as the golden hand."

He Jinxia blinked, understanding everything now. She knew where President Li’s hostility came from.

A member of the Golden Custard Award Organizing Committee...

Luo You had said that because she made a scene at the Golden Custard Award, forcing the official Golden Custard to step back, she would offend many people. It seemed he was right.

President Li’s attitude towards her reflected the official stance of Golden Custard towards her.

He Jinxia still smiled, her voice as calm as ever, not flattering President Li upon learning of his identity.

"So it is President Li. It is my first time at the Golden Custard Festival and I haven’t been an actress for long, so I am quite unaware of many things. Please, don’t blame me, President Li."

President Li, used to being flattered by celebrities, was already displeased with He Jinxia for disrupting the Golden Custard Award. Seeing her unenthusiastic attitude towards him made him even more irritated, his tone scornfully light:

"Miss Jinxia, you are also twenty-three this year, right? That age is not so young anymore. Many people are already married with children at your age.

Although you haven’t been an actress for long, you’ve been in the entertainment circle for four or five years, so you’re not really a newcomer."

The implication was clear: don’t use your youth as an excuse!

Before He Jinxia could reply, President Li sighed lightly, "A new generation always replaces the old, it’s not strange that you don’t know me. I am, after all, aging."

Qin Siqin’s expression changed slightly. President Li was not being polite at all, directly opposing He Jinxia!

She looked at Jinxia and gently shook her head.

He Jinxia understood Qin Siqin’s intention; she wanted her to apologize to President Li and not to offend him.
