Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

Chapter 726: Social Banquet with Many Beauties

Li Shuo is a very self-aware person. He finished speaking what he was supposed to say step by step, leaving no room for the reporters to comment freely. He immediately winked at Iwasaki Rentaro beside him, who immediately announced the end of the question-and-answer session and then took Li Shuo and Reba into the company.

"X, let me introduce you to Miss Cai Yilin and Miss Wang Xinling. They are both our Greater China representatives. They flew here from Taiwan and Hong Kong for your signing ceremony..."

Iwasaki Rentaro obviously put a lot of effort into this ceremony, so before the official signing ceremony, many celebrities signed by the company came to walk the red carpet and show their support, which is one of the reasons why it was so popular outside.

Now that Li Shuo has signed the contract, the company held a buffet-style reception banquet. Under the leadership of Rentaro Iwasaki, Li Shuo greeted each of the signed seniors one by one.

Both Cai Yilin and Wang Xinling can be called Asian divas, and now are at the peak of their careers and have the greatest influence, especially Cai Yilin. Her songs are still popular in the streets of China.

However, she seemed to be a rather reserved person, or perhaps aloof and arrogant, so she just exchanged a few polite words with Li Shuo and didn't say anything else.

Wang Xinling, who is less popular and "only" has the title of "Sweetheart Leader", is much better. Li Shuo can feel that she is still a sweet girl offline.

Li Shuo said, "I really like listening to your song 'Love You'." The sweet girl smiled even sweeter and said that she also liked the style of 'Little Apple.' Li Shuo suddenly asked, "Why? 'Little Apple' is a popular song that can easily be called a slapstick song. Well, it seems that it is not well-received by some people in the industry."

Wang Xinling opened her eyes wide and said in surprise, "Ah? What? Isn't it everything for pop music to sound good?"

Having a common language, Li Shuo also wanted to communicate more with this sweet girl who might become popular again in the future, so they chatted for a while.

Finally, before leaving, Li Shuo had already obtained Wang Xinling's personal number, and agreed that if there was a suitable new song, he would send her a copy...

This is the advantage of creative artists. Any singer hopes to get excellent songs before others, so it is necessary to maintain a good relationship with peers who can write songs! Even Cai Yilin, who is a little colder and more arrogant than Wang Xinling, at least came from Hong Kong Island!

To put it bluntly, anyone who attended Li Shuo's signing ceremony today was considered to have great goodwill towards Li Shuo, or even to have formed a bond with him...

The same was true for unfamiliar stars. Artists who were familiar with Li Shuo, especially singers, all showed up today as long as they could. Many singers from Qianyu Times were present, not to mention. Even Wei Xun and Zheng Yingshan, who were far away in Lenghai, were called over by the company in advance. They just came to make friends. Li Shuo had a lot of friends around him, but he didn't have much contact with the two women.

In addition, there were two beauties who stayed in Tianjin Port for one more day in order to participate in Li Shuo's signing ceremony.

"Congratulations, X! I really didn't expect that one day Sony Entertainment would hold such a grand signing ceremony for a creative artist!"

Fei Seqi was wearing a shoulder-baring halter dress and took the initiative to extend her hand to Li Shuo from a distance.

"Good evening, Sister Fei!"

Li Shuo gently held Fei Seqi's hand and smiled sincerely: "Speaking of which, if it weren't for Sister Fei's good dancing, Little Apple wouldn't have been so popular, and I naturally wouldn't have been so famous. So, today's grand ceremony is largely due to Sister Fei's contribution!"

After working together once, Fei Seqi was particularly warm to Li Shuo. She covered her mouth and smiled sweetly:

"Hehe, I've seen your mouth. No wonder you can attract such a beautiful girl... Hello, I'm Fei Seqi..."

The second half of the sentence is another greeting to Reba.

Maybe it was because it was her first time participating in such an activity, or maybe it was because Li Shuo had seen too many beauties tonight, Reba was obviously very nervous. She tightly grasped Li Shuo's arm, nodded to Fei Seqi with a somewhat stiff expression, and praised her, "Your Chinese is very good, you don't sound like a South Korean at all..."

At this time, Li Shuoze had already turned his head and looked at Jessica Jung beside Fei Seqi.

The latter was wearing a pink short dress that was very girlish. The waistline of the dress was cleverly raised, showing off her slender legs, while the chest was decorated with soft pleats, adding a bit of agility. With two ponytails tied at the back, the whole person looked youthful and energetic, which was completely different from Fei Seqi's graceful elegance.

Even though she was dressed in such a youthful and lively manner, she stretched out her hand to Li Shuo in a serious manner and greeted him calmly: "Hello, Mr. X, I'm Jessica Jung, nice to meet you..."

"Xiu-yeon, did you stay here specifically to attend the ceremony?"

Li Shuo shook hands with Jessica Jung with a look of surprise. He had contacted several members of Beautiful Legs Era before and knew that the members had returned yesterday, but he did not expect to meet Jessica Jung here again. His favorable impression of her increased instantly.

"I like the scenery of Jinmen Port, so I stayed one more day. It's not because of you!"

"Hehe, okay, let's just assume that you like the scenery... Do Yoona and Seohyun like the scenery too?"

"Tsk, what? You don't want to see me, you only want to see those two? I helped you so much! But after we were done, you didn't even say thank you to me..."

"Haha, we're not just ordinary friends!"

Because of the surprise, Li Shuo overlooked one point: SM's management is extremely strict, and it is not easy for a single person to leave the group! A few years later, Jessica Jung was exposed for leaving the group without authorization because of a love affair, which led to the collapse of the Beautiful Legs Era group, and she became the first member to leave the group!

"Tsk, you only know how to talk!" Zheng Xiuyan wrinkled her straight little nose and said unhappily, "I have booked a flight back to South Korea in the early morning. If you are sincere, at least treat me to dinner tonight?"

Isn't it a dinner party now?

Li Shuo first muttered to himself, then immediately realized: This was an ambiguous invitation from Jessica Jung. If the girl idol didn't have a good impression of him, how could she ask him to treat her to dinner so late at night?

After understanding this, Li Shuo did not immediately agree to treat us, but just said with a smile:

"Are you leaving tonight? In such a hurry? How about I ask my secretary to change your ticket for you? Don't you like the scenery of Jinmen Port? I will personally take you for a good tour tomorrow."

Now, it was Jessica Jung's turn to wonder: What's wrong with this man? Isn't my hint obvious enough?

When ordinary people look at girl idols, they only think that they are goddesses who are high above everyone else and you can't even see under their skirts. Little do they know that they are also normal people. Jessica Jung is the oldest in the group and is already 22 years old. This is the time when women are at their most youthful and beautiful, with their hormones full. However, she is controlled by the company every day and doesn't even have the chance to chat with men face to face!

However, during this trip to China, the girls met Li Shuo, who could communicate freely and was not even controlled by the company! Not to mention how good his hard conditions were, the fact that he was "not controlled by the company" was enough to make the girls approach him actively!

Based on this, Jessica Jung, the most daring and careful member of the team, who was also the "most hungry", lied that she was not feeling well and wanted to stay in Jinmen Port for medical treatment, and asked for a day off from the company! She was going to attend Li Shuo's signing ceremony, and no one at Beautiful Legs Era knew about it!

After taking such a big risk, if she can't have further development with Li Shuo, Zheng Xiuyan can't imagine how disappointed she will be...

"No, I have something to do tomorrow. Well, you know, the company has packed our schedules, so we don't have much free time..."

"Hey, what are you afraid of? I'm here. I'll call Director Jin..."

"Don't!"

Zheng Xiuyan, who was on sick leave, was so frightened that her face turned pale. She held down Li Shuo's hand as he was about to take the phone and said hurriedly, "It's just a small matter. Do I need your favor?"

"This is not a favor, don't worry, it's not a big deal..."

"No no no..."

Seeing that Li Shuo insisted on helping her extend her leave, Zheng Xiuyan felt helpless and finally had to scold: "I deliberately asked for sick leave from the company, how can I have the nerve to let you call Director Jin again? Wouldn't that be a leak? Do you really have to let me explain the reason for staying?"

She looked at Li Shuo with her big eyes, which were full of grievance.

At this moment, Li Shuo felt extremely comfortable: Is there anything more comfortable than licking the screen of idols in the previous life, and finding excuses to get close to him in this life?

Of course, Li Shuo couldn't show it on the surface, and pretended to be surprised, and apologized again and again: "I'm sorry, Xiu Yan, I really thought you... um, I'm so happy that you can attend my signing ceremony. This is a great thing, there is no need to ask for leave..."

Seeing that Zheng Xiuyan was getting anxious again, Li Shuo quickly made a "zipper" motion with his mouth: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this! After the dinner is over, Miss Zheng, please do me a favor and have dinner with me, okay?"

The second half was a polite and solemn invitation.

"Since you still have some sincerity, I agree... Hee"

With all the pressure gone, Jessica Jung was so happy that she could hold it together at first, but after she finished speaking, she couldn't help but grinning out loud.

Unfortunately, she smiled too early, or rather, Jessica chose the wrong time. The dinner was held exclusively for Li Shuo, so he was naturally very busy. When she was chatting with Jessica, someone came up to greet Li Shuo...

The person who came over to say hello is a B-signed artist from Sony Agency. Even though he is only a B-signed artist, he is also a star from Hong Kong Island and has starred in some dramas in the Mainland. It can be said that the standard of this dinner is very high. The B-signed artists from Sony Agency are the lowest level people here, but if they are released, they are enough to act like big shots in many crews.

After finishing her chat with Fei Seqi, Reba quickly followed Li Shuo. She was excited and naturally did not ask Li Shuo why he chatted with the South Korean idol for so long. Moreover, every person she met next was enough for Reba to deal with with all her energy!

The dinner continued into the second half, and Li Shuo brought Reba into a music circle. Everyone inadvertently talked about Li Shuo's "new song":

"What's the name of the song X just mentioned in front of the reporters?"

"It's Unforgiven. The original Korean drama is currently on air and I've been following it..."

"Oh? Is it so popular?"

"In fact, the more popular the original version is, the more difficult it is to adapt it. This is true for TV series adaptations and theme song adaptations, because most audiences have already accepted the original version. Even if the adaptation is better than the original, the audience will still think the original version is better. What do you think, X..."

Li Shuo nodded in agreement, and then smiled bitterly: "I am still too immature. I shouldn't have revealed this in front of reporters. It is really a thankless job to adapt songs."

People in the industry came out to comfort her, but some people actually laughed in their hearts: She is really too young. How can she speak so directly about an adapted song that hasn't been made public yet?

Li Shuo is too popular tonight. Not only those people in the industry, but even other stars under Sony's agency have some opinions in their hearts.

But the next moment, Li Shuo said, "If I had known earlier, I should have promoted another movie theme song. That song is my original work, but the movie is not... well, nothing..."

"Offering of Love" is Li Shuo's original song, and it is sung by Yang Xiaomi. It will definitely be a hit after it is released. The reason why Li Shuo doesn't talk about it is, first, because it is a project of Rongchuang, and the song is given to Xiaomi and Reba as a gift of friendship, so naturally it has no publicity value. As for the second point, you can tell by looking at the expressions of the people in front of him: If "Offering of Love" is released to the public, wouldn't these people be even more resentful and jealous?

It's pretty good now. Most people are still kept in the dark. They don't know how deep this young man's scheming is. They are still laughing and trying to get close to him...

At about 9:, the grand welcome banquet arranged by Sony Agency finally came to an end. Seeing that the important guests had said goodbye one by one, Li Shuo also said goodbye to Reba and Iwasaki Rentaro, but he did not leave directly. Instead, he returned to the dressing room behind the banquet hall and called Jessica Jung...

"Reba, you've worked hard today. I've arranged a room for you. Go back and rest first and wait for me to come back, okay?"

Reba was stunned and was about to ask "Where are you going", but she stopped immediately. She was not as willful as Bai Lu, and she was smart and knew when to advance and retreat. Especially after seeing the big scene today, she was determined to stay with Li Shuo forever.

So, after a few seconds of silence, Reba said weakly: "Oh, then you must come back early, I can't sleep without you..."

"Haha, don't worry, I haven't hugged my little hottie for a long time..."

The ambiguous love words that followed were already whispered in her ear...

Reba's cheeks flushed, her waist twisted, and she kept saying "hate" from her red lips, but her body was not far away from Li Shuo but closer. Finally, she hooked her arms around his neck and took the initiative to give him a sweet kiss...

After the kiss, Reba once again said "come back early" and then followed the secretary out of the dressing room...

The only thing that made Li Shuo's heart beat a few more times was that as soon as Reba opened the door of the dressing room, he bumped into Zheng Xiuyan who was rushing in. They both bowed their heads and said "sorry", and then looked at each other...
