Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

Li Haoyu appeared very relaxed during the banquet.

On the contrary, Wang Manni, who was standing to the side, seemed particularly nervous.

She held onto Li Haoyu's arm tightly, even to the point of hurting him a little. Ultimately, Wang Manni was still too concerned about what others thought.

Especially when Wang Manni entered for the first time.

A relatively upscale private venue.

So she's afraid of making a fool of herself because she doesn't know the rules, and she cares about what the waiters think of her. She's also very concerned about whether the people at the next table will talk about her behind her back as a nouveau riche.

On the contrary, Li Haoyu had long been completely immune to these so-called high-end venues.

Actually, there's no need for unnecessary safety measures or extra arrangements.

As long as I'm comfortable, that's enough.

Li Haoyu thought, "So what if it's this kind of occasion? I can do whatever I want, as long as I abide by basic public order and good morals."

For example, it's okay if you don't know the rules when you're eating. You can eat however you want, as long as you don't make loud noise or disturb other people's meals.

As long as you don't care about what others think.

Don't overthink whether everyone has something on their mind about you.

On the contrary, it will make you appear poised and generous.

Li Haoyu is like a max-level player now.

The result was the same as returning to the starting village.

How could I not feel relaxed?

Li Haoyu felt that he had already restrained himself. He was able to stay quietly in a corner, unlike the other protagonists who staged a comeback and slapped each other in the face at the banquet.

He was already being very restrained.

After all, he doesn't need it now.

I'm no longer troubled by money and interpersonal relationships.

Right now, all he wants to do is enjoy life to the fullest, indulge in romance, and win over Gu Jia as soon as possible. Finally, he wants to boost his life achievements and see if he can raise his system rating.

……

The guests at the event were all very good-looking.

Both men and women looked significantly younger than their peers.

This is the power of money; those who have money and leisure time will naturally be in much better physical condition.

Most of the people at the banquet were women, and they were all quite young.

Some of the girls look like they're only in their early twenties.

This situation is not surprising, because most of the people who come to the banquet here have some assets, and successful men generally have the same taste: young and beautiful girls.

Occasionally, there were some older ladies, the oldest of whom was not even forty, and they were all genuine wealthy women. Therefore, Li Haoyu stood out quite a bit among so many guests.

After all, most of the men here are well-dressed, pot-bellied, successful people. If a young, handsome guy suddenly appears, he's easily mistaken for a rich woman's puppy lover.

Fortunately, Wang Manni was by his side.

Li Haoyu was thus spared from being misunderstood by many.

Compared to the fierce competition in the business world, this place seems more like a naked arena of fame and fortune. There is no gunpowder here, but sometimes the unseen struggles are even more deadly.

…………

Li Haoyu sat with Wang Manni at a table in the corner.

Wang Manni noticed that he had been staying there drinking and eating desserts, showing no intention of moving. Meanwhile, the people around them were chatting and laughing in small groups, and the two of them, despite being there for so long, hadn't spoken a word to anyone outside their circle.

Wouldn't her trip have been in vain?

So Wang Manni couldn't help but speak first, "Honey, why don't you stay here by yourself for a while? I'll go say hello to them and I'll be back in an hour at the latest."

Wang Manni was a little embarrassed.

After all, Li Haoyu was there to support her.

Li Haoyu was overjoyed; wasn't this exactly what he wanted?

So he hurriedly replied, "It's okay, you go ahead. It doesn't matter if it takes a little longer."

Wang Manni seemed a little worried that Li Haoyu would be angry. "Honey, if you care, then I won't go. Anyway, there will be other opportunities for this kind of occasion next time."

"Don't worry, it's really okay!"

Seeing Wang Manni being so hesitant and indecisive.

Li Haoyu couldn't help but raise his voice a little.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, he simply patted Wang Manni's bottom. Wang Manni blushed instantly, knowing that Li Haoyu really didn't care, and ran away shyly.

Li Haoyu reviewed his feel for the game.

It's really great!

.........

Li Haoyu picked up a glass of champagne.

He waited quietly for Gu Jia to appear...

Not long after, Gu Jia appeared. Li Haoyu looked at Gu Jia, who was shining brightly in the crowd, not far away. He decided to finish his drink and then take the initiative to meet Gu Jia again.

He looked at Gu Jia, who spoke eloquently and exuded elegance.

At this moment, Li Haoyu felt a strange, indescribable emotion welling up within him. Was it forbidden pleasure? Or the joy of incest? But none of that mattered anymore.

He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the excitement in his heart.

Anyway, once we got it, everything would be clear.

Just as he was about to act, he suddenly remembered Wang Manni's departing figure.

Li Haoyu inexplicably recalled a few lines of lyrics.

I occasionally get drunk and enjoy my freedom. I often make mistakes and lie, but I always feel guilty. I've met many bad friends and learned to be fickle, and I've also owed many women a debt.

He feared marriage would only be a three-minute promise, and he'd said he'd quit smoking but never followed through. These lyrics actually resonated with his own experiences. As he drifted into reminiscence…

Gu Jia herself delivered herself to his door.

Gu Jia's voice came from behind Li Haoyu, "Mr. Li, why are you standing here in a daze?"

She was deeply impressed by Li Haoyu. In Gu Jia's eyes, Li Haoyu was young, decisive, and had a strong sense of self.

Gu Jia had never seen Li Haoyu like this before. His face showed regret, confusion, and inner turmoil, with a hint of memory.

It's a very complex emotion.

"You're here. Nothing much. You did a really good job with this banquet." Li Haoyu instantly regained his composure, and his carefree expression quickly returned.

Li Haoyu had his hands in his pockets.

He lazily walked towards the nearby recreation area.

Gu Jia was taken aback at first, then she followed closely behind Li Haoyu.

Li Haoyu spent a long time talking with Wang Manni last night, and didn't get much sleep during his lunch break because he was preparing for the banquet. Now, all Li Haoyu wants to do is get things done quickly and then go home to catch up on some sleep.

The two approached a small table where they would be undisturbed, and Li Haoyu took another close look at her. This was the second time he had seen Gu Jia, and this time her makeup was different from the simple one he had seen before.

She had clearly dressed up carefully this time.

But after Li Haoyu finished reading Gu Jia's story...

Instead, he let out a soft sigh.

This made Gu Jia feel a little strange.

She asked with a hint of curiosity, "Mr. Li, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with your outfit this time?"

Li Haoyu joked, "It's nothing really, it just feels like you put on makeup for other people this time. You're beautiful, but it lacks soul."

"Besides, it's a bit unlike my impression of President Gu that he's been running around doing things for a bunch of women."

Gu Jia frowned slightly after hearing this.
