“Night of Stars” was an anniversary-like event organized by the country’s largest social entertainment platform. During the event, the officials would invite many celebrities in the entertainment industry to attend the gala and give out a bunch of awards.

This was not only one of the liveliest events in the entertainment industry every year, but it was also a fermenting pool of topics and scandals. Countless celebrities were fighting secretly and openly to prove who was more popular and stronger in the entertainment industry.

When Lu Zhen was in Lu He’s company previously, because of Lu He’s oppression, her schedule was very full every week. She could not find time to attend the “Night of Stars” at all, so she had never participated in it.

This year, Lu Zhen changed to a new company. Logically speaking, Jia Le should have let her go to “Night of Stars”. After all, this was a good opportunity to increase her exposure and was also very helpful in increasing her popularity.

“It’s not confirmed yet. It still depends on the schedule and company arrangements. Do you want to go?” Lu Zhen wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue and looked up at Xi De.

Xi De nodded. “Yes, I’m preparing to go over. By then, our filming should be almost done. What I want to say is, if you’re going to Night of the Stars too, do you want to come with me?”

Lu Zhen was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a moment, she quickly understood Xi De’s intentions.

“Night of Stars” gathered most of the famous celebrities in the entertainment industry. It was equivalent to fame and fortune in a fame fair. Naturally, it was not just an ordinary gala.

First of all, every celebrity’s seat was arranged. The seats near the stage and in the center were golden seats. They were usually distributed to the most popular celebrities. Of course, if the company where the celebrity was in was strong enough, they could also use their capital to interfere and fight for a good position for their artists.

Secondly, this banquet was not inferior to a large-scale acting scene. The banquet was live-streamed. Every interaction, action, and gaze of the celebrities would be observed and studied by the audience with a magnifying glass. Then, the audience would interpret it from all angles.

For example, if Celebrity A and Celebrity B sat together but did not speak much, the headlines in the entertainment industry might be “A and Celebrity B have a long-standing grudge.”

In addition, in order to avoid embarrassment, celebrities would usually find a partner to enter the venue with. On one hand, there was someone beside them so that they would not look too lonely. On the other hand) if the person beside them was more popular than them, they might be able to ride on their popularity.

There was no doubt that Lu Zhen’s popularity was far higher than Xi De’s. Xi De probably wanted to use Lu Zhen’s popularity to make the audience and

netizens pay more attention to him.

Coincidentally, “Beauty” was almost done filming at that time. The two of them were still colleagues from the same production team. If they appeared together, the audience would not guess blindly. At most, some interested netizens would form a couple on the screen for them.

“I’ve asked Wu Dai. He said that he’ll go to the Night of Stars with Xu Rui. I thought that if you didn’t make an appointment with your companions, why don’t we form a team?” Xi De looked at Lu Zhen frankly. “What do you think?”

For a moment, Lu Zhen did not know how to respond to Xi De. Although she was not sure if she was going to the Night of Stars, she had to reply to Xi De now.

Lu Zhen felt that it was not a bad thing to go to the “Night of Stars” with Xi De. She did not have many friends in the entertainment industry. At the same time, some female celebrities had formed several “best friends” groups, but she had only focused on filming and rarely socialized with other celebrities. If she rejected Xi De, she might not be able to find a suitable companion to go to Night of the Stars with.

For some reason, the male lead, Wu Dai, had agreed to go with Xu Rui. If she didn’t find a suitable companion, there might be news on the Internet that she was isolated by the other leads in the production team.

“I’ll go back and ask the company how they arranged it. If the company agrees, I’ll go with you.” After some thought, Lu Zhen replied to Xi De.

Xi De’s eyes lit up and his smile relaxed. He nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll wait for your news. By the way, your boyfriend won’t mind, right?”

Xi De’s thoughtfulness made Lu Zhen a little embarrassed.

How was she supposed to explain this? She couldn’t possibly tell Xi De that her boyfriend, who was an outsider in the industry, was her boss, could she? Moreover, the two of them were not really boyfriend and girlfriend.

“It’s okay. He should understand. Don’t worry.” “Okay, then let’s go back. I’ll go pay the bill first..”
