Chapter 19
The premiere of Heart Flower Road was in Mo Du.
The venue was a luxury cinema on The Bund.
Not only is the scenery beautiful here, it sits right by Huangpujiang, and the night view is breathtakingly gorgeous.
One has to admit, Director Xu really knows how to pick locations.
Director Xu has a wide network within the Entertainment Circle.
Probably.
There are many star bigwigs attending tonight.
So, whatever he does, he must dress appropriately.
Now that he's got money, a suit and such must be gotten as a set; he'll need it later too.
At night, the neon lights first come on.
Lin Mo puts on a dashing suit.
He arrives on time at the place he arranged with Re Ba.
A business car has been waiting there for a long time.
The rear door opens.
Besides Re Ba, Yang Mi is also there.
Obviously.
Yang Mi also received Director Xu's invitation.
After all, they're all in Mo Du.
Director Xu's film naturally needs a show of support.
Re Ba sees Lin Mo, and her face instantly blossoms into a radiant smile; she waves excitedly and shouts, "Mo Ge, you're so handsome today!"
Then Yang Mi gracefully sticks her head out; she wears a simple yet elegant dress, and upon seeing Lin Mo her eyes light up, a smile tugging at her mouth: "Lin Mo, long time no see, your outfit today almost made me not recognize you!"
People generally like to hear compliments.
Not only women, men as well.
Especially being praised by two great beauties, Lin Mo naturally feels delighted, at least it proves the suit wasn't bought in vain.
Lin Mo smiles and says, "Mi Jie, you're flattering me, today you also look very beautiful!"
Sitting in the car, Lin Mo's gaze naturally falls on Re Ba: "Re Ba, the color of your dress really complements your skin tone, simple yet lively, it matches your personality well."
Re Ba hears this, her cheeks blush slightly, she shyly smiles and softly says, "Mo Ge, you just know how to cheer me up."
"Everything I said is sincere; if you don't believe it, ask Mi Jie—her taste is quite discerning."
While saying that, he also winks at Yang Mi, making both of them laugh.
Yang Mi, listening nearby, can't help but laugh out loud: "Oh my, you two flaunting your love, I'm a single dog and I'm almost blinded by it."
"Mi Jie~!" Re Ba coos teasingly, stretching the tone, the blush on her cheeks deepening a few shades.
Hearing that, Yang Mi laughs even more heartily, waves her hand and says, "Alright, alright, I won't say any more, lest you both gang up on me."
The car instantly fills with cheerful laughter.
The driver up front is Yang Mi's assistant, and a smile also appears at the corner of her mouth.
Soon.
(We) soon arrive at The Bund.
Director Xu booked a high‑end restaurant next to the cinema.
(They) get out of the car.
The three of them walk in, talking and laughing.
Today, this place was booked in advance by Director Xu.
After all, the guests he invited are all well‑known stars in the Entertainment Circle, so he naturally doesn't want outsiders to disturb them.
The security guard at the restaurant entrance naturally didn't stop the three.
Although.
They may not know Re Ba, but they definitely know Yang Mi.
Moreover, Director Xu's assistant is also receiving guests outside.
"Mi Jie!"
Seeing Yang Mi arrive, Director Xu's assistant hurriedly jogs over.
Then after introducing herself to the three, Yang Mi exchanged a few brief words with her, and then went inside with Lin Mo and Re Ba.
Just after entering.
They see the lobby, wow, it's full of familiar faces.
Director Xu, Teng Dao and a few others need not be mentioned.
Huang Lei, Sun Honglei, Wang Baoqiang, Xiao Ming Ge, Deng Chao…
Too many, too many.
Besides these stars, there are also some bigwigs in the Entertainment Circle, such as Wang Zhonglei of Huayi.
The three enter the venue.
They quickly attract everyone's attention.
Of course.
The object of their attention is not Re Ba and Lin Mo, but Yang Mi.
The current Yang Mi is already a Top Stream actress in the Entertainment Circle!
"Mi Mi is here!"
"Mi Jie!"
"Mi Jie, you look so beautiful today!"
The surrounding celebrities all greeted Yang Mi.
At an occasion like today.
Re Ba is essentially a newcomer fresh out of the gate, so naturally no one pays attention to her.
But Lin Mo is.
Over there, the lively Teng Hua Tao, who was chatting with others, saw Lin Mo arrive and walked over with a smile: "Boss Lin, you're so late!"
"Junior brother!"
Likewise, Xu Zheng also saw Lin Mo.
This scene, however, is eye‑catching.
These surrounding celebrities.
Seeing this, they all became curious.
Who is this young man?
Even Director Xu went over to greet him, and it seemed they had a close relationship.
"Mi Mi, who is this young fellow?" Deng Chao leaned forward curiously, his eyes showing a hint of inquiry.
Similarly, Chen He and Huang Xiaoming nearby also showed curious looks.
Yang Mi gave a slight smile, lightly parting her ruby lips: "Everyone knows that movie 'Love Is Not Blind' from a while ago, right?"
"Of course we know..."
Huang Xiaoming chimed in.
Suddenly, everyone suddenly understood.
WTF!
This young man is the mysterious investor of 'Love Is Not Blind'?
No wonder... indeed.
Over here.
Xu Zheng and Teng Hua Tao's gazes simultaneously fell on the girl beside Lin Mo, adding a hint of gossip to the atmosphere.
Teng Hua Tao lifted the corner of his mouth, playfully saying, "Boss Lin, this is your girlfriend, right?"
Re Ba heard this, her cheeks flushing red, her small hand involuntarily tightening around Lin Mo's sleeve, the sweetness and shyness evident.
Lin Mo smiled and nodded.
"Re Ba, let me introduce you: this is Director Teng, and Director Xu, both our senior alumni!"
Upon hearing this, Re Ba immediately showed a respectful yet slightly nervous smile, calling out crisply, "Hello Director Xu, hello Director Teng!"
Lin Mo added, "Re Ba also attended Shanghai Theatre Academy, same class as me."
"Oh, so she's our junior sister, welcome, welcome!"
Teng Hua Tao and Xu Zheng exchanged smiles, making the atmosphere even more harmonious.
Just as the few were chatting warmly, Huang Bo and Ning Hao also joined their group.
Huang Bo, upon arriving, teased, "Lin Mo, you really keep it hidden, having such a beautiful girlfriend!"
Xu Zheng interjected, "Huang Bo, you, don't scare Re Ba!"
Saying that, he turned to Re Ba and said, "This is Huang Bo; doesn't he look uglier than in the movies?"
"To hell with you!" Huang Bo pretended to be angry, yet couldn't help laughing along.
"Hahaha!"
Lin Mo, smiling to smooth things over, then introduced the two to Re Ba: "Re Ba, this is Bo Ge, and this is Director Ning Hao."
Re Ba, hearing this, a warm smile spread across her face as she greeted Huang Bo and Ning Hao one by one: "Hello Bo Ge, hello Director Ning, I'm Re Ba, pleased to meet you."
After the introductions, everyone became more familiar, and laughter continued.
