Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 484 The First Shot

"Isn't there a name on the sign those people are holding over there... I saw her name, Xia Xiwei, yes, it's Xia Xiwei!"

Li Xiaoya had sharp eyes and quickly found the name of the star.

In fact, she didn't need to say it, because at this time, as a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle was slowly approaching on the internal road opened by security in front of the building, some people in the crowd were already screaming, and many fans began to shout each other's names in unison.

"Xia Xiwei! Xia Xiwei!"

The loud screams made it hard for Li Xiaolei and others not to hear them.

The Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle just stopped at the red carpet extending from the side door of the building. The door opened and a girl dressed in a gorgeous dress got out of the car with the help of her assistant.

Today, Xia Xiwei did not wear the long evening gown commonly seen in similar occasions. Instead, she chose a retro velvet cheongsam, which exuded a strong oriental charm through the buttons and embroidered patterns.

The dark green fabric, which is extremely difficult to control, complements her perfectly. The low slit reveals her snow-white calf skin, but what caught many fans' eyes was her hair accessories.

The high bun paired with a metal tassel headdress adds a sharp aura to the classic look.

In public, Xia Xiwei mostly presents herself as a sweet girl. Occasionally, she changes her style to be a sexy queen. This kind of domineering heroine is the first time in the fans' impression, which inevitably causes a lot of surprised exclamations.

"What a beautiful oriental beauty..."

Li Xiaolei and others who didn't know Xia Xiwei well enough were naturally just watching for fun. They were more amazed by Xia Xiwei's beauty. It was okay to see her on TV, but the impact increased exponentially when she appeared in real life.

Again, the popular actresses who have been tested by the big screen and various high-definition cameras with no blind spots have a face value far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Only by getting close to them can you feel that stunning beauty...

"What is such a big star doing in this kind of office building? Is there any event going on?"

Li Xiaolei and others stopped to watch out of curiosity, but among Xia Xiwei's fan group, there were also some veteran male fans who showed disappointment when they saw Xia Xiwei's cheongsam, which showed her slim curves but wrapped her very tightly.

"Why is Sister Xiwei dressed so conservatively today..."

"You are wrong. It's not today. It started some time ago."

"Could it be that Xiwei's costume designer has changed?"

Many fanatical male fans arrived at the scene on time today, expecting to see "Xia Xiwei jumping in a low-cut dress" with their own eyes, but they were naturally disappointed when they failed to do so.

In fact, if someone pays close attention, they will find that not only now, but even in the past, the number of all the related photos and videos on the Internet about Xia Xiwei's bold dress has been decreasing sharply.

Although it is not a taboo resource, it is no longer always ranked at the top in related searches like before.

Xia Xiwei came out of the business car and greeted the fans on both sides with a smile while being blocked by security guards. However, when she came to the inside of the lobby, Xia Xiwei suddenly stopped and did not continue walking along the red carpet, as if she was waiting for something.

At this time, another business car drove over from outside the IFC.

As another group of fans screamed, Li Xiaolei and others who were standing nearby to watch were surprised to find that there was more than one star here, Xia Xiwei.

"Yang Mi!"

A fan screamed and revealed the other person's identity before he or she even got off the car.

Sure enough, as the electric door opened, a woman in a nude pink tulle dress got out of the car. The faintly visible sequined lining twinkled like a galaxy of stars, and the wide train spread out, revealing a kind of agility in her fairy-like air.

Miss Yang, who has always had a "dark queen style", is wearing a lively and dreamy outfit today, which highlights her girlishness amidst her charm.

Before the fans’ shouts died down, business cars drove in one after another in the distance. Following the screams of fans who had received inside information and rushed to the scene in advance, one after another popular stars in the entertainment industry appeared outside the door of the IFC…

Mr. Ren, Miss Li, Miss Gu, Miss Liu, Miss Bai, Mr. Hu, Mr. Shen, Cai... Oh, not him.

In short, there were more than a dozen stars who arrived one after another, and none of them was little Karami, which gave the fans present a feast for the eyes.

There was only one thing that they couldn't quite understand. That was that except for Miss Xia who had been waiting at the door for a long time, people like Miss Li, Miss Gu and others also stopped at the door after arriving and did not go inside.

Perhaps influenced by them, or guessing something, other stars like Mr. Ren were reluctant to go upstairs first and could only wait in the lobby.

This was tough for the security guards on the scene, because as the news spread, a steady stream of people came from near the IFC, wanting to catch a glimpse of these stars.

If the "Tyrant Security Company" that took on the security work today had not been strong enough and able to continuously mobilize new security personnel to enter the venue, the situation on the first floor would have been out of control long ago.

Li Xiaolei and the others watched the excitement for a while and originally wanted to go up first, but the direction of the elevator was blocked. When Li Xiaolei was thinking about whether to call Jiang Qingkui to come down and pick them up, at this time, the crowd outside the IFC Center became restless again.

It turned out that there was a new convoy coming from the other end of the road.

Black Mercedes-Benz business cars escorted in front and behind, and in the middle was a Rolls-Royce Phantom that seemed to blend into the dark night, yet sparkled with a certain crystal luster.

The nearly six-meter-long vehicle is extremely oppressive, and exudes a certain majesty as it moves. The moment it appears, it attracts the attention of the crowd.

"Who is this celebrity?"

The grand ceremony made the crowd have all kinds of speculations, and they were even more shocked at what kind of celebrity it was to be the last to appear after all the stars, and even have a motorcade escorting him.

At this time, the Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped in front of the IFC. Five or six bodyguards in suits, sunglasses and earphones quickly got out of the business cars in front and behind, and scattered around, taking a guarded posture.

At the same time, the stars waiting in the lobby heard the news and went straight to the door. Obviously, the owner of this Rolls-Royce Phantom was the one they were waiting for.

This caused further uproar among the crowd, and everyone's curiosity was piqued to the extreme.

"That's the Darth Vader version of the custom Phantom!"

At this moment, Xiang Ming, who was watching through the door somewhat carelessly, suddenly let out a low cry after taking a closer look at the extended Rolls-Royce Phantom.

"Can Rolls-Royce be customized?"

Li Xiaoya, who was standing by, was stunned for a moment and asked in a low voice: "How much does this cost?"

"I'm not sure, but it should be at least 20 million..."

Xiang Ming thought for a moment and said.

"Twenty million... there are still many rich people in Demon City."

Li Xiaoya said enviously that Xiang Ming claimed to have a net worth of nearly 100 million, but she knew that this was after all the fixed assets were taken into account. If the bank loan was deducted, the amount would be very high. ... Anyway, their family definitely couldn't come up with 20 million in cash.

While they were whispering, a slim girl emerged from the passenger seat of the Phantom. She had her hair tied up high and was wearing a black custom-made suit. Her cheeks, hidden by sunglasses, showed her heroic look, making her look like a "female agent" in the movies.

"Hey, Lao Zhou, isn't that the girl next to Wangwang, the one named Miao Ying?"

The moment the girl appeared, Zhou Wang's mother Zhao Guihua was stunned for a moment and quickly pushed Zhou Dajun beside her.

"Well, it seems to be the girl named Cherry."

Zhou Dajun smacked his lips, then reacted and looked at Zhao Guihua in astonishment, "Then the person in the car is..."

At this time, Miao Ying, who had walked down from the passenger seat of the Phantom, had already come to the back of the car door and opened the double doors of the back seat.

Amidst countless gazes, a young man in a dark blue suit walked out of the car with an upright posture. His handsome and deep face triggered countless exclamations as soon as he appeared.

"so hot……"

"Hey, wait, why don't I know him? Who is this person? Is there such a person in the entertainment industry?"

"I don't know him either, but he looks somewhat familiar..."

"Zhou Wang, this is Zhou Wang, you don't know him!"

"Who is Zhou Wang?"

"He has accounts on Douyin and Weibo, with millions of fans..."

“Ah, internet celebrities also have such a grand ceremony?”

"What a bullshit internet celebrity! He is a self-made billionaire and a shareholder of Wuyou Media!"

When not-quite-accurate labels about Zhou Wang were spreading among the fans, the stars waiting at the door all moved.

Miss Xia walked the fastest, and with the fragrance swaying in the breeze, she was the first to arrive beside Zhou Wang.

Her dimples blossomed with her brilliant smile. She directly took Zhou Wang's arm and her sweet voice gently floated into Zhou Wang's ears:
"I finally waited for you, Uncle Zhou~"

Zhou Wang got goose bumps all over his body. From the strength coming from Xia Xiwei's palm, he knew that he couldn't break free from her.

Just when Xia Xiwei made this move, the fan group was in an uproar again. No matter whether they knew Zhou Wang or not, when they saw the intimate posture of Xia Xiwei and Zhou Wang at this time, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

You should know that although Xia Xiwei has always been known for her "straightforward and bold", she has never had any CP scandals with any male stars outside of film and television, and she has always been alone when attending any activities. In the past, there were even some gossips that said that there might be problems with her sexual orientation...

But now, in front of countless mobile phone cameras and fans, Xia Xiwei took the initiative to hug a man's arm and stuck close to him without any hesitation. What does this mean?
The fans were going crazy, and Zhou Wang's eyelids twitched.

Especially since he hadn't figured out the situation yet, several resentful gazes came towards him.

Zhou Wang looked up and saw Miss Gu, Miss Yang, and Miss Bai...

Hey, wait, damn, I can understand Miss Gu and Miss Yang, but Miss Bai, what does that look in your eyes mean? I have only met you once, and I dare not say anything about others, but we are definitely innocent, right?
Zhou Wang realized that he had made some mistakes.

The general arrangement for tonight is that the dinner will start at seven o'clock, and the celebrities in the circle who he invited to promote the fund will arrive twenty minutes early.

Of course, in order to maintain order at the scene, and because they are not the protagonists, the schedules of these stars are not publicized in a big way. Only a small number of die-hard fans will receive the news in advance and wait at the main entrance.

The use of their publicity is mainly done after the fact, and what matters is a gradual fermentation.

The real bigwigs in other circles will go upstairs directly from the underground parking lot. This is also a method taken into consideration that some people do not want to expose themselves to the camera.

As for Zhou Wang, he was the host, so of course he had to go through the main gate.

He planned to arrive ten minutes earlier, after the stars entered the venue, so that he could easily greet some higher-ranking bosses.

But he never expected that Xia Xiwei would do this to him, and with other stars also waiting here, the situation was somewhat out of his control from the beginning.

For a moment, it was unclear whether Xia Xiwei was simply "asserting sovereignty" or venting her resentment at the airport in the afternoon. Zhou Wang, who had suffered a loss, could not get angry on the spot. He could only shake his head helplessly and let Xia Xiwei hold his hand and walk inside.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm Ren Quan. I've heard a lot about you. Nice to meet you..."

"Boss Zhou, I'm Shen Teng. Boss Zhang Shihao invited me here..."

The other stars who were waiting on the side came forward to greet Zhou Wang one after another, all with extremely humble attitudes, and Zhou Wang responded with a smile one by one.

"Thank you for waiting. The future development of the foundation still depends on your strong support. Don't be polite. Let's go upstairs and talk..."

Supported by security guards led by Xiao Wang, Zhou Wang and other stars walked towards the exclusive elevator while chatting and laughing.

Outside the crowd inside the lobby, Zhou Dajun and Zhao Guihua looked at each other, while Jiang Jiaxing and Li Xiaolei also had strange expressions on their faces.

They really didn't expect that the person who got off the car would be Zhou Wang, and they didn't expect that the person these celebrities were waiting for was also Zhou Wang...

No, doesn’t this mean that the occasion these stars are attending is the “internal company dinner” that Jiang Qingkui mentioned?
Zhou Dajun and Jiang Jiaxing were surprised, but Li Xiaolei's attention quickly shifted. She said with a somewhat grim expression, "Zhou Wang and that female star named Xia Xiwei... have a good relationship?"

"Uh, I haven't heard Wangwang say that. I think it's just for socializing."

Seeing Zhou Wang walking by with a crowd of people following him, Zhao Guihua, feeling a little embarrassed, explained and subconsciously called out Zhou Wang's name:
"Wang..."

Zhou Dajun next to her stopped her in time, mainly because he felt that this occasion was not appropriate. What if his son really had something going on with that woman? Wouldn't that make Zhou Wang embarrassed?
There are so many people watching, I can't say anything here...

While the few people were talking, Li Xiaoya heard something wrong and asked in confusion:
"What are you talking about, sister, do you know the young man who got out of the Rolls-Royce?"

"He is Zhou Wang!"

Seeing her sister's blank expression, and obviously still not reacting for a while, Li Xiaolei said helplessly:
"That's Lao Zhou's son, the one I told you about, Qingkui's current boss!"
