Return of the King, Dominating the City-Chapter 1653 - 1547: Life-Saving Benefactor

The Marquis said with a smile, then glanced at Chen Mengjie and said, "Mengjie, if I have to choose between the two of them, I would choose Song Yun, because I love him more."

Chen Mengjie looked at the even more peculiar-faced Song Yun with a strange expression herself and said blankly, "Well... then I wish you both the best."

Best wishes, my ass!

Song Yun glared at Chen Mengjie, then grabbed her hand and walked to his seat, while the Marquis slowly walked over to Li Baoshi and sat next to him.

"You’re late." Li Baoshi said with a smile to the Marquis.

The Marquis replied calmly, "Something at home delayed my schedule."

"Song Yun will be our family’s partner." Li Baoshi said.

"Oh, so?"

Li Baoshi said nothing more and continued to watch the awards ceremony on stage.

Song Yun pulled Chen Mengjie to their seats and said, "Best wishes, my foot. That lunatic is not worth acknowledging."

"I think this is the happiest moment since I came here!" Chen Mengjie laughed, "The Marquis actually fell in love with you. This... this is just wonderful. I can finally get rid of him!"

"Tch, you know how he is, fickleness is his nature, so you can’t believe what he says!" Song Yun said.

"Whatever, at least now I don’t have to worry about him for the time being. Feels so great." Chen Mengjie said contentedly.

Song Yun was at a loss, watching as the Marquis and Li Baoshi talked about something, his mind whirling quickly.

Soon after, the awards ceremony ended successfully. There were special vehicles outside responsible for taking these stars and others to the venue of the celebration banquet. Of course, you could also choose to travel by yourself.

Song Yun initially planned to ride the stretch Lincoln with Chen Mengjie, but Li Baoshi suddenly invited Song Yun and Chen Mengjie to travel with him. Song Yun thought he just had some things he wanted to discuss, so he agreed. As for the Marquis, he left before the awards ceremony even ended.

Li Baoshi’s car was a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, which is even more expensive than a Rolls-Royce Phantom, basically costing billions, with luxuriously over-the-top interiors.

It was the first time for Song Yun in such a car, and he was somewhat curious.

"If you like it, I’ll give it to you." Li Baoshi said with a smile.

"Forget it, I can’t afford to maintain this car." Song Yun laughed, shaking his head.

"Haha, then tell me when you can afford it, the car’s performance is quite good, I mean in terms of comfort." Li Baoshi said.

"Yes, it’s indeed comfortable." Song Yun said as he leisurely lay on the leather sofa.

"Let’s have a good chat after the celebration banquet is over."

"No problem."

Then Song Yun and Li Baoshi had a brief discussion in the car about future cooperation.

Very soon, the two Rolls-Royce Silver Shadows, carrying Song Yun, Chen Mengjie, as well as Li Baoshi and Mrs. Li, arrived outside the grand hotel where the celebration banquet was held.

A variety of cars had already stopped outside the hotel entrance, some people were getting off, and others had just arrived.

As soon as Li Baoshi’s car arrived, the cars originally parked at the hotel entrance all moved away.

The car came to a stop, and a waiter promptly stepped forward to open the door. Li Baoshi and Mrs. Li got out first, followed by Song Yun and Chen Mengjie.

"You can choose to forget some of the things we talked about in the car just now," Song Yun said softly to Chen Mengjie while walking. When he discussed matters with Li Baoshi earlier, he did not purposely hide from Chen Mengjie. He considered her a trustworthy person. Moreover, they only talked about some superficial things, leaving the deeper matters untouched.

The subsequent remark from Li Baoshi clearly indicated to Song Yun that they should discuss matters not suited for outsiders. Otherwise, they could have chatted in the car, instead of waiting for the celebration banquet to end, right?

The top floor of the hotel had been entirely reserved by the event committee for the celebration banquet. In this level, there were dozens of tables, but no so-called chief seat. Whoever comes finds a place to sit. They are all in the same circle, so it’s impossible not to know each other. On the contrary, in such a place, many people could make new friends. For example, an actor meeting a director or screenwriter, or a director meeting an investor. Although called a celebration banquet, it could largely be considered a networking event.

Of course, although there is no chief seat, choosing whom to sit with is significant. For example, with people like Shen Yan, would any small actor dare to sit next to him? Maybe Shen Yan wouldn’t react on the spot, but he could harbor dissatisfaction and blackball you later. Then getting along afterward would indeed be impossible.

Naturally, Song Yun was supposed to sit with Shen Yan. Before Song Yun came here, there were only three people at Shen Yan’s table in total, including Song Yun, Li Baoshi, and their respective female companions, making four people in total, leaving only two or three seats left.

Song Yun sat next to Shen Yan, and Li Baoshi sat beside Song Yun, with the two female companions together.

"Song Yun, how long are you planning to stay here?" Shen Yan asked.

"I’ll see how things go."

"Alright, if our schedules align, let’s head back together. I’ll give you a lift." Shen Yan said with a smile.

While the two chatted, Li Baoshi occasionally interjected a few words, which seemed rather harmonious. Just then, a man, looking about fifty-something, walked up to their table and sat next to Shen Yan.

"Mr. Shen, I haven’t seen you in a while!" The man said with a hearty laugh.

"Haha, Director Feng Gang, I haven’t seen you in a long time either. What have you been busy with lately?" Shen Yan asked with a smile.

"Ah, isn’t this Mr. Song? A lifesaver, a lifesaver!" Feng Gang turned his head and saw Song Yun, speaking excitedly. Last time it was Song Yun who risked going deep into RB to rescue him and Chen Mengjie. This kindness cannot be forgotten.

"Hey, that’s a bit too much. We are all compatriots, just supporting each other while away. ’Lifesaver’ is too exaggerated." Song Yun said with a laugh, patting him on the shoulder.

"No, I must call you a lifesaver. It was only after I returned that I realized how perilous the last incident was." Feng Gang said with persistent eyes, "But later I wanted to thank Mr. Song, only to find I couldn’t locate you, which is a huge regret. So today, I must properly thank you."
