Chapter 1036: Buy It Yourself

The fashion show was held in the company. Actually, the scale of it wasn’t big. A venue for 500 people could only accommodate guests who were invited to support the event. Not a single fan could enter unless they were invited individually through special channels.
Who was Nangong Lengyu? She was the queen of the fashion circle and her new company was having its first fashion show filmed in a live broadcast globally. Every country’s television stations and internet platforms were doing live coverage. Everyone wanted to come over to ride the wave and show their faces. Among the Chinese celebrities, other than a few who had a good relationship with Nangong Lengyu, which one of them hadn’t racked their brains to come take part in this event?
When Ling Sheng saw the superstars walking onto the red carpet one after another, her eyes widened. She pulled Jun Shiyan along to update his knowledge about how this person was an Oscar-winning Best Actor, that person a Best Actress at Cannes, and that other person a filmmaker who had won a truckload of Grammy awards. In the end, she asked carefully, “Third Master, how much do you think my mom spent to invite so many superstars?”
Jun Shiyan looked at the little money-grubber. Her eyes had already turned into dollar signs. He smiled and said, “As far as I know, she didn’t spend much money. These people have a good relationship with your mother, so they came specially to support her. They can’t be hired with money. It’s all about friendship.”
“My mom is still the best.” Ling Sheng was full of admiration. What her mom had said was definitely true. Even if she didn’t work within the Chinese entertainment circle and went to Hollywood with her, she could definitely still make a name for herself with her mother’s connections.
The people who had come were all top international superstars, singers, and even the models invited to the fashion show were all famous supermodels. It was true that people could invite them with the right price, but the question was… How much money did one have? How many could one hire?
In any case, she had never seen such a spectacle that was comparable to a combination of the red carpet at the Oscars and Grammys in front of her in the past. Not to mention in China, even the Super Bowl might not be able to invite so many people on such a grand scale.
Linda had been Nangong Lengyu’s assistant for more than ten years already. She was also one of the top five designers in the world now, but she was used to following after her. When she was with Nangong Lengyu, she would act as her assistant. Upon hearing Ling Sheng’s words, she chuckled. “Your mom’s capabilities are not limited to this.”
Besides being crowned as the Best Actress and Fashion Queen, she was also the successor who was first in line to the Nangong Family. The Nangong Family’s influence and voice in the various countries, other than China, was also unimaginable to the average person.
These people had really only collected the tiniest bit of appearance fees for show. All of that money really didn’t amount to much. Many of them had kicked up a fuss and agreed long ago that they would come to support her. They got angry when she tried to pay them money.
Ling Sheng could not help but be convinced. Upon seeing the enormous, star-studded spectacle in front of her, she felt even more useless. She was the most useless person in the whole family. She couldn’t do anything she wanted. But if her father also organized an event, he would probably be able to mobilize the entire Chinese entertainment circle as well.
If her father had also gone to Hollywood back then, the scale of the event probably wouldn’t be smaller than what her mother had created either. They were all god-level players while she was just a small fry. She didn’t know how many years she would have to work hard to reach their level.
When Ling Sheng and Jun Shiyan went over, Nangong Lengyu was worrying over who she should choose. There were two male models who had suddenly encountered a storm when they were flying to China. The plane had no choice but to land so they couldn’t rush over in time. She could only find two people to replace them at the last minute.
When the guests who had arrived found out about this situation, many of them volunteered themselves. But because everyone had sent her a private message that she had to choose him, she was in a dilemma now and didn’t know who to choose. The chosen people might be happy but she might offend those who hadn’t been picked.
Ling Sheng ran over quietly and covered her eyes from behind. She even deliberately changed her voice. “Guess who I am.”
“Stop fooling around.” Nangong Lengyu patted her hand and spoke indulgently with a hint of worry.
Ling Sheng frowned. “Mom, what’s wrong? Are you in trouble?”
“Yes.” Nangong Lengyu pulled her to sit beside her. After telling her what had happened, she pointed at the photos on the table to show her. “Tell me, exactly which ones should I choose?”
Ling Sheng took a look. Oh my, they were all famous Hollywood male celebrities. They were handsome and well-built. There were also a few actors she liked very much. Both her eyes sparkled. “Let’s pick Tian Bing and Mo Hai.”
She liked both of them. One was cute, and the other was sweet. Both of their looks perfectly suited her esthetics.
When Jun Shiyan saw the young lady’s eyes sparkle as she looked at the men, he frowned and leaned over to take a look. He said very disdainfully, “How are they good-looking? They aren’t handsome at all.”
A sour smell was slowly spreading in the air.
Nangong Lengyu glanced at him and deliberately said, “How are they not good-looking? Which one’s not handsome? Both of them look great.”
Ling Sheng agreed with her mother’s words and saw the man’s handsome face darken bit by bit. She held in her laughter and nodded. “Yes, they’re all good-looking. Mo Hai is adorable and well-behaved while Tian Bing is beyond handsome.”
Jun Shiyan’s brows creased even more tightly and he continued to find fault. “What kind of names are those? They sound so awful.”
Ling Sheng let out a snort and pointed at him with her hands on her hips. “They’re nicknames. We gave them nicknames. They aren’t their real names.”
Nangong Lengyu looked at the man who had already ‘devoured’ her daughter. She felt very upset and disliked him too. “Only your name sounds nice.”
Jun Shiyan hadn’t expected to be attacked by the mother and daughter together. He sighed internally. When it came to quarreling, women were always right. One should never try to reason with them. He had finally experienced it personally.
However, those two men? Just which part of them looked good? How were they more handsome than him? The young lady actually liked them!!
Ling Sheng eyed Jun Shiyan from head to toe and asked Nangong Lengyu, “Mom, has my dad arrived?”
Nangong Lengyu nodded. “He just took Xiaoqi out to buy food.”
A sly glint flashed across Ling Sheng’s eyes as she whispered in her ear, “Mom, why are you looking for someone else? Aren’t there two readily available models?”
Her father, along with the Third Master, definitely had the figure of a first-rate male model, as well as a gorgeous face that male models couldn’t compare to. If Mom used the two of them, she wouldn’t have to be indebted to others too. How great was that!
Jun Shiyan didn’t know what the young lady had said, but before he could ask, he heard a knock on the door, closely followed by his son’s voice.
“Grandma.” Xiaoqi ran in with two candied haws in his hand. When he saw Ling Sheng and Jun Shiyan, he was stunned for a moment. Then, his big eyes filled with delight. “Mommy, Dad.”
Huo Ci gave the duo a disdainful look. “There’s no food for the two of you. If you want to eat, buy it yourself.”
Who had asked the two of them to come over? They were so busy. Were they here to cause trouble?
Nangong Lengyu was so busy that she had even forgotten to tell Huo Ci that the two of them were coming. Upon hearing his words, she looked at Ling Sheng and said, “You go ahead and eat first. Mom’s not hungry.”
