Chapter 3312: Let's Go Now!
When the young and beautiful Fei Kexin stepped into the party venue, everyone's attention was drawn to her.
The whole world was familiar with Fei Kexin; during her handling of the once globally sensational Fei Haoyang incident, she once made the world take notice, and from then on, she became a world-renowned business elite.
Even the equally world-famous Tawana deeply admired Fei Kexin in her heart.
However, she could not focus her attention on Fei Kexin now, because her boyfriend Trevor had still not started editing the video as she required, and the two had remained in a cold war since earlier, with no one breaking the silence first.
When Fei Kexin entered, many guests who had long admired her came forward to greet her; Tawana, taking advantage of no one noticing her, immediately said to Trevor: "Trevor, give me your phone, I'll edit it myself!"
Trevor shook his head and said: "No, I promised that Mr. surnamed Ye that the video cannot be edited, and moreover, it must be blurred for him and his family."
Seeing that he still refused to relent, Tawana coldly said: "If you insist on doing this, then let's break up!"
Trevor fell silent for a moment, then said: "Breaking up is fine; to be honest, I never expected you to stay with me for a long time, and from the day we got together, I prepared myself for a breakup."
Saying this, Trevor added: "However, even if we break up, I must state my position: you really cannot continue promoting those views in public places, as you are a public figure, and any statement of yours could influence many young people to make life-changing decisions. In the past, you were extraordinarily talented and accomplished at a young age, setting a good example for many teenagers; many youths were inspired by you and bravely pursued their dreams. But now, you have deviated from your former self. When I was still a teenager, although I was not an outstanding student, I fortunately was not led astray by outside influences, nor did I mislead others. But now, you have led many people down the wrong path. I cannot change you, but I cannot allow myself to continue being your accomplice. I'm sorry."
Tawana's eyes welled up with tears.
She had not expected her boyfriend to rather break up with her than continue supporting her, which made her feel a great sense of betrayal and dealt her a heavy blow.
Just as her tears were about to spill over, Mitsui Yoshitaka had already brought Ye Chen, Fei Kexin, and their party back to the core area of the party.
Although Mitsui Yoshitaka knew Ye Chen was not particularly fond of Tawana, Tawana was after all the nominal host of today's event, and she had already taken her seat in the core area. If he brought Fei Kexin to avoid the core area, outsiders seeing this might speculate strangely, so he decided to follow the normal procedure and introduce the two parties to each other. If they could continue chatting naturally, that would be best; if not, he would focus his attention on Fei Kexin.
Even if Tawana felt neglected, considering she was a major shareholder of Universal Records, she would not dare to delay tonight's performance.
Thus, he approached Tawana and, smiling, introduced Fei Kexin: "Miss Fei, this is the renowned Tawana Svet; you should be familiar with her, right?"
Fei Kexin smiled faintly and said calmly: "Miss Svet's popularity in the West is unmatched; how could I not know her?"
Tawana stood up somewhat nervously and politely said: "Miss Fei, you flatter me; in comparison, you are truly globally renowned."
Fei Kexin smiled and said: "Miss Svet is the most influential and commercially capable star today; in terms of fame, few people in the world can match you. Many young people no longer know what Bill Gates does, only knowing he is a very rich old man, but young people who do not know Miss Svet are probably few and far between."
Saying this, Fei Kexin asked her: "By the way, Miss Svet, I heard you are currently enthusiastic about promoting some public welfare activities?"
Tawana did not expect Fei Kexin to bring up public welfare proactively. Thinking of her good relationship with Ye Chen, she guessed Fei Kexin might be targeting her, but she dared not argue with Fei Kexin, so she awkwardly said: "Yes... I did do a little public welfare activity... it's not very good, not presentable... let Miss Fei laugh at me..."
Fei Kexin looked at her and said seriously: "Miss Svet, I have a suggestion; I don't know if you're willing to hear it."
Tawana hastily said humbly: "Miss Fei, please speak; I will listen attentively and learn earnestly."
Fei Kexin said calmly: "Learning is not the point; it's just my little summary."
Saying this, she became somewhat serious and said: "From my personal experience and observations over the years, in doing public welfare, it's best that the voice made by money is louder than the voice made by words."
Tawana instinctively asked: "The voice of money should be louder than the voice of words? What exactly do you mean?"
Fei Kexin said: "Very simple, using the ancient Chinese saying: it's nothing more than speak less, do more. If you want to seek better treatment for a certain group, silent donations are better than loud advocacy, because once this matter backfires, the first person to be dragged down is often the one with the loudest voice."
Tawana understood Fei Kexin's meaning; she was subtly reminding herself that she had spoken too much.
Although she felt resentful inside, she dared not argue with Fei Kexin, so she could only say with a sincere face: "Miss Fei, you are absolutely right; I have truly been taught!"
Fei Kexin nodded and, seemingly casually but actually deliberately said: "The domestic situation for some people who have always been somewhat outspoken is not optimistic; according to what I know, some people already dare not return, and Miss Svet should also be more careful."
Fei Kexin's words made Tawana suddenly nervous; for a moment, she seemed lost in thought.
At this moment, Mitsui Yoshitaka's assistant walked over again and whispered in Mitsui Yoshitaka's ear: "Sir, people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have arrived, and they brought several Americans, said to be CIA agents specially dispatched here."
"What are the Ministry of Foreign Affairs people bringing the CIA here to do?" Mitsui Yoshitaka frowned tightly; the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is specifically responsible for foreign affairs, and they brought Americans from the CIA—what important matter are they here to handle?
The assistant was also at a loss, saying: "I have already verified their credentials, all are fine, but when I asked them what they are doing here, they directly said it involves classified information and cannot be disclosed."
Mitsui Yoshitaka muttered: "Maybe they came to find me; let them in, I'll ask them carefully."
The assistant nodded and immediately went out.
Soon, several Japanese in suits and leather shoes, accompanied by several white men in black suits wearing black models, walked in.
The Japanese man walking in front moved quickly, handing his credentials with both hands to Mitsui Yoshitaka respectfully and said: "Mr. Mitsui, I am Ichiro Hasegawa from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; these several CIA agents are special agents dispatched by the American Embassy, and they want to find Miss Tawana Svet to inquire about something."
Mitsui Yoshitaka did not expect these people to actually be looking for Tawana; he had not yet come to his senses when a white man with a stern expression stepped forward and said to Tawana: "Miss Tawana Svet, hello, I am CIA agent Pete Roger; we have some matters requiring you to come with us to the embassy; time is urgent, it's best to go now!"
