On the night they arrived in the Galar Region, Chairman Rose warmly hosted all the contestants taking part in Charity Summit Night.
What caught Gary's attention was that Sonia, Valerie, and Elesa, all three world-famous models, were not among those invited.
Caitlin, Wallace, and Diantha, who were likewise appearing as guest runway models, had received invitations.
Faced with Chairman Rose's earnest invitation, Young Master Mao casually snubbed him: "Busy. Not going!"
After sending away Oleana, who had come to invite him in person, Young Master Mao turned to the three beauties who had been left out. "I hear Galar's Battle Curry is pretty famous. Would any lovely ladies care to join me?"
The three women exchanged glances, then nodded with radiant smiles. "Thank you, Young Master Mao~"
Accompanied by three women whose styles differed wildly but who all exuded charm, Young Master Mao changed into a formal suit and walked at the head of the group.
The paparazzi along the way went into a frenzy, snapping pictures like mad.
Sonia reminded him with some concern, "Um... Young Master Mao, is this really all right? Taking us out to dinner so conspicuously, Chairman Rose's PR team..."
"Well~ My playboy image has always been pretty solid. Don't worry about it." Young Master Mao shrugged easily and smiled. "Besides, I'm rather looking forward to seeing whether your Chairman Rose's PR team dares to smear me~"
Valerie, who came from Johto, knew a little of the inside story. She covered her mouth with her long, wide sleeve and chuckled. "The Johto Radio Tower is one of the Pokémon League's top three media giants, and Station Director Tuyuan absolutely treasures Young Master Mao. That's why Young Master Mao's romantic scandals never appear in the mainstream media."
"Hahaha~ There's more to it than that, Miss Valerie."
