Chapter 394: The Banquet Begins
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The banquet hosted by the Song Corporation was grand. Song Yi attached great importance to it, even inviting many local media.
With the collaboration of the three groups and the launch of high-end luxury jewelry, Song Yi specially crafted a piece of exquisite jade jewelry for Meng Yu, aiming to showcase the formidable capabilities of the Song Corporation.
Although the banquet was organized entirely by the Gu Corporation, with Lan Yue merely conveying some information, Song Yi was equally satisfied. In his view, all of this was due to the efforts of the Song Corporation. Without the Song Corporation, there would be no collaboration between the Gu Corporation and the Brown Group.
As one of the main characters on the day of the banquet, Song Fan started her makeup several hours in advance. Ever since her clothes were intercepted last time, Kevin had prepared to supervise her styling, even providing video guidance to the makeup artist.
“Her eyelashes are long enough; no need to apply mascara. It looks too fake.”
“The foundation shade is incorrect! Can’t you see she looks paler? This shade conceals her good skin.”
“The eyebrows are too thick. They’re not good-looking, and don’t match the overall style!”
The makeup artist was a renowned expert in the industry, and Kevin had brought him in to ensure Song Fan’s makeup was the best. Initially, the makeup artist had some temper, and after listening to Kevin’s guidance, he was on the verge of exploding. However, considering Kevin’s position in the fashion industry, he reluctantly held back.
Finally, it was Song Fan who said somewhat impatiently, “Kevin, I’m just attending a banquet. There’s no need for such extravagance.”
Holding her slightly bloated belly, she struggled to put on the dress. Kevin had designed the dress according to her figure, and she couldn’t even wear it if she gained a little weight.
The dress appeared to be a gradient blue, from white at the shoulders to dark blue at the hem, with a transition of blue in between. However, the dress was adorned with numerous rhinestones on the fabric, making it shimmer and shine like the vast universe. Under the lights, her dress was dazzling. However, the weight of the dress made Song Fan almost breathless. She complained, “This dress is too heavy? Am I supposed to endure a few hours of weight training? You even prepared high heels for me!”
“Weight training is fine for you. Besides, the heels aren’t too high, just 3 centimeters,” Kevin said unhappily. “Look at the diamonds on the shoes; each one was stitched on by my people. How could it match my dress if you don’t wear them properly?”
“Understood!” Song Fan immediately extended her foot and put on the somewhat uncomfortable high heels. “Rest assured, this time I will wear your designer dress properly and won’t embarrass you.”
Only then did Kevin show a smile. “That’s more like it. When I go back, I’ll participate in your jewelry design. Remember to reserve the best jade and gems for me!”
Song Fan nodded seriously. “I’ll be looking forward to it!”
As the banquet was of great significance, almost everyone with an invitation brought many people along. Even those without invitations had to find a way to attend.
Meng Xia, from the beginning of the banquet, started mingling around with the identity of Miss Song. Internally, the employees of Song Corporation sneered at her, but to outsiders, even if she was the adopted daughter of the Song family, she was still part of the Song family. Moreover, she seemed to have a very good relationship with Mrs. Song, so quite a few people were trying to flatter her.
After Meng Yu’s training, Meng Xia could now handle herself gracefully in high society. Today, she specially prepared an extremely luxurious dress, custom-made in advance by Meng Yu, just to erase the humiliation from before.
Meng Yu planned that even if Meng Xia couldn’t marry Charlie or Gu Chen, she should still have a good match.
However, she noticed that no matter how she introduced outstanding young men to Meng Xia, Meng Xia seemed indifferent and distracted. Just as she was about to remind Meng Xia, Meng Xia’s eyes suddenly lit up— the person she had been waiting for had arrived!
Charlie and a handsome blond man entered the banquet together. The man bore a resemblance to Charlie but was more slender. Wearing gold-framed glasses, he looked more like a young scholar, presenting an elegant and refined image.
“Charlie! You finally came.” Meng Xia excitedly ran over, ignoring the frowns of the people around her. She was completely indifferent because she was about to achieve her goal, and the excitement was becoming uncontrollable..
