Mo Du Grand Theatre.

Scene from the 25th Mo Du International Film Festival.

After a 90-minute red carpet event, the Golden Goblet Awards Ceremony officially began.

Sitting in the center front seat, Zhao Yachian was filled with excitement, her face slightly flushed, both nervous and thrilled.

In front of him were well-known first and second-tier celebrities, many of whom were currently popular film and television stars.

Sitting next to her was not Lin Mu Xue, but a popular young actress and celebrity, Song Shiyu.

Her skin was fair and delicate, as smooth and warm as mutton fat jade, radiating a natural luster.

She has a small, delicate face, a smooth and beautiful chin, a hot and sexy figure, and is incredibly alluring.

It has a high degree of recognizability.

Zhao Yachian has recently been watching one of her dramas, and it's exactly the same as the one I see on TV. It feels like I've crossed a dimensional barrier.

Moreover, Song Shiyu had just taken the initiative to chat with her, introduced himself, and his attitude was incredibly friendly.

She naturally knew about this popular idol.

A former member of South Korea girl group, her agency was later acquired by Tang Zong Entertainment, and her career has been going very smoothly ever since. Now she is incredibly popular in the Asia-Pacific region.

This was Zhao Yachian's first time getting up close to a big star, and she was as excited as if she were in the bathroom with Tang Song, wearing high heels, playing ball in front of a mirror, and even in the position of a dog urinating.

Listening to the voices of the celebrity host on stage, her gaze couldn't help but drift to a figure not far away.

Even if you can only see her back and part of her profile, you can still feel her breathtaking beauty.

That's Su Yu!

Imagine yourself in the Glittering Starlight Mo Du Grand Theatre, participating in an international film festival alongside top stars.

Zhao Yachian once again experienced the joy of transcending social classes.

Just a month ago, she was just an ordinary beautician, worrying about her monthly credit card bills.

Now they enjoy the best celebrity treatment.

This is probably what my cousin meant by "from sparrow to phoenix".

In a corner at the back, Lin Mu Xue held up her Mobile Phone, constantly taking photos and videos.

I've posted multiple times on my Moments, and I also share them in several group chats from time to time.

For her, this was the most glorious moment of her life.

This represents an elevation in her status and prestige, so naturally she wants more people to see it.

Although she wasn't surrounded by any big-name celebrities, she was surrounded by well-known filmmakers and actors.

She had overheard a conversation between several people, and it seemed that each of them was someone of considerable importance.

Looking at Qianqian, who was standing directly in front of the stage, Lin Mu Xue felt so envious she wanted to cry.

Those are all the hottest celebrities right now!

However, she wasn't jealous of her lovely beautician friend, since she was able to participate thanks to her friend.

A burst of enthusiastic applause suddenly erupted.

Lin Mu Xue quickly snapped out of her reverie, looked at the stage, and her eyes widened suddenly.

Su Yu has arrived!

The meticulously tailored gown, with its light and swaying skirt, and its flowing cut that accentuated her graceful figure, was adorned with delicate embroidery and shimmering sequins that sparkled under the lights.

So beautiful! Not only her appearance and figure, but her temperament is also impeccable, like a water lily blooming in the morning mist.

Lin Mu Xue's face flushed, and she began taking pictures frantically.

Su Yu! Su Yu!

On stage, she exudes an indescribable ethereal beauty and nobility, truly unforgettable at first glance.

For a moment, Lin Mu Xue's expression froze.

Madam Su? Su Yu?

Impossible! How could this be?

She quickly shook her head vigorously, extinguishing this absurd thought.

To make Su Yu, a female billionaire and top star with a net worth of billions, someone else's mistress is truly the height of absurdity.

I wouldn't even dare to do that in my wildest dreams.

Moreover, if Su Yu was Tang Song's lover, then what would be Qianqian's business? What would be her business?

These are not even at the same latitude.

It's highly likely that Mo Xiangwan knows Tang Song or some of his elders, which is why he acted as a witness for his Trust Company, and why Tang Zong Entertainment provided services to Juqing Huijin.

It was approaching 10 PM.

As the Golden Goblet Awards Ceremony drew to a close, Lin Mu Xue was about to head out when a soft female voice sounded from beside her, "Madam Lin, I'll take you to the waiting area first. Ms. Zhao would like to go backstage to take photos with some celebrities."

"Um... okay." Lin Mu Xue nodded to Su Zhuyun, glancing reluctantly in Zhao Yachian's direction.

She was chatting quietly with Song Shiyu next to her.

Qianqian is so lucky! This is the celebrity photo she has always dreamed of!

Unlike Xu An, a nobody, the people she'll be taking photos with are all First-Tier Superstar! She might even run into Su Yu!

The train slowly came to a stop at Mo Du Hongqiao Station.

Tang Song shouldered his backpack, picked up his suitcase, and walked out of the business class carriage under the guidance of the train attendant.

His gaze swept over the surrounding signs.

This was his first time in Magic City and his first time at Hongqiao Station. He felt both unfamiliar with and curious about his surroundings.

Zheng Siwen followed closely behind him. When she saw him stop and look around, she pointed in a direction somewhat shyly, "That... the subway station is over there, and the taxi waiting area is over there."

"Thank you." Tang Song smiled politely at her.

Zheng Siwen quickly waved her hand and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome."

After noticing the other person's expression and the subtle gazes around them.

Tang Song opened the System Interface, entered the [Dress-up Center], and canceled [Dress Up - Summer Sweet Talk].

The special effects gradually faded, and his voice and demeanor returned to normal.

It wasn't that he wanted to show off; it's just that the bonus from [Summer Sweet Talk] was too useful.

[Constitution +2, Comprehension +1], also has a cooling and heat-relieving effect.

In order to complete the "Investment Newcomer" project, he needs to seize the time to learn investment-related knowledge.

With the help of the Tang Song's Glasses, the ginkgo leaves, and this outfit, his learning efficiency is terrifying.

Despite not being very familiar with financial knowledge, he had already read a good portion of it during his 6-hour high-speed rail journey.

"Goodbye." Tang Song waved and walked towards the taxi waiting area.

Zheng Siwen watched his tall figure disappear, her feelings a mix of emotions and reflections.

For her, today was a sad and painful day, like dark clouds gathering and a storm brewing.

The boy who suddenly appeared on the high-speed train was like a ray of light shining in, making her suddenly see the light.

She looked away, glanced at the bag in her hand, and then raised her head to walk towards the subway station.

Magic City, I'm back.

Even when carrying heavy burdens, we must still face the sun and grow.

"Driver, to the JW Marriott Hotel at Tomorrow Plaza."

"Okay."

Tang Song leaned back in his chair and took out his Mobile Phone.

As soon as I turned on the screen, my eyes were drawn to a series of app notifications.

[ At the Magic City Film Festival tonight, the Glittering Starlight, but Su Yu stood out from the crowd, outshining everyone else.]

[Captivating and mesmerizing, Su Yu has won the hearts of all.]

[Su Yu makes a rare appearance on the red carpet of the Mo Du International Film Festival, topping the trending searches]

Similar notifications were sent out by various apps such as Weibo, Toutiao, and Douyin, and even some shopping apps.

Tang Song pursed his lips and tapped on the notification from Douyin.

Immediately afterwards, a video playback interface appeared on the Mobile Phone.

The music was melodious, spotlights shone like stars, and the red carpet stretched out in the night.

Su Yu, dressed in a gorgeous floor-length gown, walked slowly towards them.

Her figure was graceful, her skirt as light as a feather, and her steps were calm and elegant, exuding endless charm with every step.

Her long hair was tied up at the back of her head, and her exquisite face was slightly raised, as delicate as a painting.

His eyes were deep yet pure, like a pool of autumn water.

Its beauty is beyond compare, and its allure is just right.

Skin is made of ice and snow, bones are made of jade.

Her figure standing on the red carpet was like the brightest star in the night sky, dazzling and radiant.

Tang Song looked at Su Yu, who was beautiful and ethereal in the camera lens, and his heart was filled with excitement.

He still remembers the joy and excitement he felt when he drew the SSR Character Card [Su Yu] in the game.

Especially her character illustration, it's absolutely gorgeous.

Driven by a certain Wicked Fun, he treated the development of this character as a side-scrolling simulation game.

Afterwards, based on his own preferences and the game's evaluation of her, he set up a comprehensive and meticulous training plan.

Appearance and image management, acting training, talent development, psychological counseling...

After the [Female Celebrity] series of missions ended, Su Yu had completely transformed into his form.

She is also the most perfect idol artist in his ideal.

After watching the video several times and giving it a thumbs up, Tang Song gently closed his eyes.

She fantasized about what she would be like in real life, and what her attitude would be if she saw her.

I really want to see this female celebrity in person.

She's going to have a concert in Yancheng soon, I wonder if I'll have a chance to meet her.

Although he has a [Character Interaction Card], he doesn't have a [Luck Buff], so the probability of randomly getting such a high-level character is too low.

After a while, Tang Song sighed and continued scrolling through the videos.

Many of them are about "Su Yu" and "Mo Du International Film Festival".

Then a familiar ID popped up.

[Luna Xue], Xiao Xue?

This is also a video about the film festival, recording the entire process of entering, and many celebrities appeared in the footage.

The number of comments and likes is very high.

Tang Song's brow twitched as he opened the homepage.

Wow! The number of followers has exceeded 400,000.

When I first followed her, she only had about 200,000 followers, right?

After scrolling through the homepage, Tang Song instantly understood the reason.

After arriving in Magic City from Xiao Xue, she started posting videos at a high intensity, and each video received nearly 100,000 likes.

Her outstanding figure and looks, along with her glamorous appearance, have brought her a great deal of attention.

Tang Song casually clicked on one of them and took a look.

This is a record of yesterday's experiences, including shopping scenes at various malls and luxury stores, International Finance Centre and Plaza 66...

Finally, there's the bar at Bund 18, with its stunning Lujiazui night view.

Then, Tang Song raised his eyebrows and clicked pause.

The picture shows Li Xiao Xue and a handsome guy taking a photo together on the terrace.

The subtitles in the video below introduce him as a celebrity named Xu An, who starred in a TV series called "Pear Blossom First Snow".

Tang Song looked at the comments section and found that the top comment was from a verified user named "Xu An Ansel".

[Xu An Ansel: "I'm so happy to have met Xiao Xue, such a wonderful friend. She's extremely beautiful in person and has such a great presence. She could totally debut right here!!"]

It seems Xiao Xue had a great time in Magic City!

Not only has her fan base exploded, but her social circle is also expanding.

I can talk to her about it later.

Tang Song opened the carriage window a crack, gazing at the fleeting scenery outside, letting the evening breeze caress his face.

22:40.

Tang Song arrived at the JW Marriott Hotel, a luxury five-star hotel that has been open for 20 years and has 333 luxurious rooms located on the 41st to 59th floors of Tomorrow Plaza. Each room offers a different view of the city.

Located in a bustling commercial center, it boasts a prime location and convenient transportation.

Next door is the Mo Du Grand Theatre, which is also the venue for the opening ceremony of the international film festival tonight.

Tang Song stood outside the gate and looked in the direction of the Grand Theater. The show should have ended by now. He wondered if Su Yu had left yet.

This should be the closest they've ever been in reality.

Entering the concierge entrance on the first floor, you will be led by a staff member to take the elevator directly to the lobby area on the 38th floor.

Tang Song paused slightly, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

A woman wearing a blue shirt and jeans was standing at the back of the lobby.

She has a classic, aloof, mature woman's face, a high and firm bust, and long hair that reaches her waist. She looks tall, sexy, and very eye-catching.

Cheng Qiuqiu?

What is she doing here?

She was carrying a large light sign, the lights of which were off, but the name "Su Yu" and some pasted photos could still be seen.

The words "Su Yu" were written in purple highlighter on her face and collarbone.

He looked like a die-hard fan.

As everyone knows, purple is Su Yu's support color.

Tang Song blinked and quickly recalled what Xu Qing had said.

This must be a true die-hard fan. Despite being so busy with work, they Magic City to show their support and even stayed at the Marriott Hotel next to the Grand Theatre.

Seemingly sensing Tang Song's gaze, Cheng Qiuqiu, who was turned to the side, turned her head.

His previously expressionless face showed a look of astonishment.

She pursed her lips and looked at Tang Song approaching.

Wearing a white shirt, jeans, and black-rimmed glasses, he exudes a gentle and refined air, with a fresh and handsome appearance.

It makes people feel an irresistible Good impression it.

Cheng Qiuqiu took a deep breath, stepped forward and greeted him in a low voice, "Tang Song, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to run into you in Magic City."

Looking at Su Yu's photo and name on her face in her hand, Tang Song smiled brightly. "You're here on a business trip to support Su Yu?"

"Um... yes." Cheng Qiuqiu's face turned slightly red. "Su Yu attended the film festival red carpet tonight and even won an award. I signed up for this support activity in the Fan Group."

Just then, a male voice came from the side. "Qiu Qiu! I've booked the room! Unfortunately, because of the film festival, only the executive suite is available, so we can't sleep on the same floor, haha."

Immediately afterward, a boy wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses walked over, stood beside her, and frowned slightly, asking, "Who is he?"

"My friend," Cheng Qiuqiu said softly.

"Oh? A friend? How come I've never heard you mention having such a friend?" Xu An raised his thin eyebrows, his eyes behind his sunglasses filled with wariness and vigilance.

Tang Song was exceptionally tall, handsome, and had a remarkable temperament.

Why did you suddenly run over here? Could it be that you're here for Qiu Qiu?

"A friend I met at work." Qiu Qiu bit her lower lip and said softly, "Xu An, why don't you go to your room and rest? I have something to talk to a friend about alone."

Upon hearing this, Xu An felt a strong sense of alarm.

He had long considered this good friend and his "White Moonlight" from high school as his own possession.

I accompanied her to a support event today, and then made an excuse that it was too late to stay overnight.

I was still fantasizing about the next series of ambiguous interactions, but I was rejected again. Helpless, I could only book a room by myself.

She wondered if the other person had a crush on someone else, which was why she was being so restrained around someone as outstanding as herself.

He licked his lips, casually took off his sunglasses, looked at Tang Song, and said calmly and indifferently, "Hello, I am Xu An, Qiu Qiu's high school classmate and good friend."

"Xu An?" Tang Song raised an eyebrow, a slight look of surprise on his face.

What a coincidence, it's the same boy I just saw on Xiao Xue 'Douyin.

Seeing his reaction, Xu An smiled and said, "Do you look familiar? The drama I've been filming recently is currently airing, so you might have seen it by chance."

Tang Song nodded calmly without saying anything.

Xu An raised his hand, glanced at the gleaming watch on his wrist, and said, "Alright then, you guys chat for a bit, I'm going back to sleep. I have an audition tomorrow. By the way, Qiu Qiu, what do you want for breakfast? I'll have my assistant arrange it for you."

Cheng Qiuqiu shook her head, "It's okay, I can buy it myself. It'll be a good opportunity to try Magic City's specialty breakfasts."

"Uh... okay." Xu An responded, waved to the two of them, and walked towards the elevator.

"Phew~" Cheng Qiuqiu took a deep breath, looked into Tang Song's eyes, and said with shame, "Um... I'm really sorry about what happened last time! I was indeed there when the accident happened, and I saw Liu Wenning and the others stepping on your car, but I didn't stop them. It was my fault, and I'm very sorry! I'm so sorry!"

After she finished speaking, she bent her upper body slightly.

This matter had been buried in her heart for a long time.

She and Tang Song knew each other before; even if they weren't friends, they were acquaintances and work partners.

Her bandmates wrecked his car, and he was still there.

From Tang Song's perspective, she was an accomplice, which made her feel guilty and uneasy.

I wanted to chase after him to apologize at the police station last time, but in the end I didn't have enough courage.

I considered apologizing on WeChat several times, but I was worried that it wouldn't be sincere.

This chance encounter here was a rare opportunity, and I finally got to say what had been on my mind.

After hearing her words, Tang Song shook his head indifferently, "It's okay, you didn't know it was my car at the time, and it wasn't you who did it."

"It was all my fault, I'm really sorry." Cheng Qiuqiu apologized sincerely again.

Tang Song Wei Xiao faintly, "I'm not that petty, and for Su Yu's sake, I won't hold this small matter against you."

Cheng Qiuqiu blinked, then exclaimed in surprise, "You're a fan of Su Yu too?"

"Yes, a die-hard fan! I love Su Yu!" Tang Song nodded seriously.

After all, she's a female celebrity he nurtured himself; how could he not love her?

Cheng Qiuqiu smiled Ming Li and told him about her support schedule for the day, as well as Su Yu's stunning appearance on the red carpet.

After a while, she suddenly came to her senses and said somewhat awkwardly, "Um... I won't bother you anymore. I'm going back to my room to sleep. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Watching Cheng Qiuqiu's slender figure disappear, Tang Song withdrew his gaze, went to the front desk, and handed over his ID card.

I quickly received the key card for the executive suite, and the hotel staff became exceptionally polite.

They enthusiastically led him up to the 59th floor and to a room near the inside.

Pushing open the dark solid wood door, I entered this 66-square-meter executive suite. After putting down my luggage, the waiter bowed and left the room.

When Tang Song looked around, the first thing they saw was two large windows.

On one side you can see the Pudong Three-Piece Set, and on the other side you can see the city's elevated highways.

Standing atop the 59th floor, enjoying the stunning night view of Magic City, Tang Song began to wander around the room.

While searching for their own Physical Blind Box, they also familiarized themselves with the room.

It's an older hotel, so the room decor is a bit old-fashioned and the overall layout is rather cramped. Fortunately, it's well-maintained and has good amenities.

Capsule coffee machines, JBL Bluetooth speakers, high-end mattresses, high-density knitted bedding, TWG tea bags...

Soon, Tang Song spotted a familiar safe next to the wardrobe.

It's similar to the safe in Yanjing Sky City's dressing room, but a bit bigger.

Reach out and grasp the door handle, then touch the fingerprint reader with your thumb.

"Click-click-click"

After a few crisp, clean clicks, the safe was opened smoothly.

The first thing you see is several stacks of envelopes that look like greeting cards, taking up most of the safe's space.

I pulled one out and looked at it; it was a concert invitation.

Soon, a line of text caught his eye, and Tang Song's smile instantly froze.

[Song, I hope that on the day of the concert, I can spot you in the sea of people at a glance.]

Then he quickly took out the other envelopes and looked at them.

The expression on his face grew increasingly bitter.

This collection basically includes invitations to Su Yu's concerts, movie premieres, birthday parties, and celebration parties over the years.

Moreover, each invitation had an additional handwritten message, written with great force, as if afraid he wouldn't be able to see it clearly.

[Song, will you be at this concert? I wrote a new song, it hasn't been released yet, and I want to sing it for you first.]

[Song, the movie is about to be released. This is the script you wrote for me. Will you attend the premiere?]

Every note I sing is for you.

[Mr. Tang, the box office is a huge success! Will you be attending the celebration party? If you're too busy with work, that's okay too. Please take care of yourself, and I'll do my best at my job.]

[Mr. Tang, the day of the concert is your birthday. Will you be there?]

Tang Song slammed the envelope shut and didn't read any further.

Judging from the dates, the later the dates, the more constrained her titles and wording became.

Perhaps it was because of the long-term neglect and alienation that Su Yu became more cautious in her attitude towards herself.

Taking a few deep breaths and licking his dry lips, Tang Song tried to calm the pounding emotions and heartache in his heart.

A long time passed.

He reached into the safe again and took out an eyeglasses case.

Gently open it to reveal a woman's black-rimmed glasses.

"Whoosh—", the lenses of the [Tang Song's Glasses] he was wearing suddenly lit up.

Immediately afterwards, a faint halo appeared on the glasses in the glasses case, and a conspicuous pop-up window appeared in my field of vision.

[Su Yu's Glasses]: Glasses worn by the game character Su Yu. When [Su Yu] wears the glasses and [Tang Song's Glasses] are within a certain range, a unique Luck Bond Effect will occur between them.
