76 Opening Ceremony
The opening ceremony of the variety show was scheduled to be held two days later.
However, on the night before, the director received news that the opening ceremony of a television series and the variety show collided.
Moreover, the other party was also a big investor. Although Xi Wan’s investment was not small, it was still lacking compared to the other party.
Moreover, the opening ceremonies of the two parties would be held at the same time. So, there would definitely be a lot of reporters. Xi Wan’s identity was relatively awkward, so after the director considered Xi Wan’s position, he gave her a call to explain the matter and said, “Miss Xi, it’s fine if you don’t want to come. We can understand.”
After Xi Wan heard the news, she did not have much of a reaction. She only said, “Why shouldn’t I go? I’m the investor so why can’t I go to the opening ceremony of the variety show I invested in? So what if there will be a lot of reporters? They can’t eat me.”
Xi Wan even specially picked out the most gorgeous gown from her closet because of this.
When the system saw this, it could not help but say: [You finally know how to show off.]
“Of course. Didn’t you tell me last night that there was a female protagonist in the production team that we bumped into today? It so happens that I want to meet her too, so of course I have to dress better so I can overwhelm her.”
The system flipped through the script and said” [The female protagonist is indeed the assistant of the producer in that script. Today’s scene is also the main point of the second male protagonist saving the beauty. The female protagonist will use this opportunity to gradually enter the entertainment industry and finally became the best top actress.]
“That’s why I have to dress better and overwhelm her in terms of aura.” Xi Wan put the gown away. “Just wait and see. I want to be the most beautiful person in the entire venue tomorrow.”
The next day, after Xi Wan was done packing, she brought six bodyguards with her to the scene of the opening ceremony.
The system was a little puzzled and asked: [Why did you bring so many bodyguards with you?]
Xi Wan explained in all seriousness, “After thinking about it last night, since you said that the main scene today is that of the second male protagonist saving the beauty and I happen to bump into the female protagonist, I guessed that the scene will be heated. If we were to fight, my bodyguards would be able to protect me at least.”
The system was about to retort but it then remembered that the female protagonist already had a cheat system. Although the second male protagonist acted as if he wanted to be on good terms with Xi Wan, he could not be sure of what he was thinking. If a fight really broke out, Xi Wan would indeed be safer with bodyguards around.
When they arrived at the scene, six bodyguards escorted Xi Yan to the innermost part of the room. The reporters on the outside carried their cameras high up but they could only capture the top of Xi Wan’s head.
A reporter asked in a low voice, “Who is this person? Is that a guest on that variety show or an actress from the production team next door?”
“I don’t know. I only managed to capture her head. However, it should be a woman because she was blocked by the group of bodyguards.”
The innermost part of the venue was divided into two large rooms. The left side was the opening ceremony of the variety show and the other side was the opening ceremony of the crew.
Xi Wan walked into the room on the left without turning her head. The director, producer, and the group of guests were already waiting there. After Xi Wan entered, she slowly sat down and asked, “When will the opening ceremony begin?”
The director glanced at the time on his watch and said, “In half an hour.”
“Let’s wait for half an hour then.” Xi Wan spoke softly, completely unaffected by the production team next door.
She sat there calmly but the system could not wait any longer. [Are you just going to sit here? The female protagonist is just next door. Don’t you want to go and take a look?]
Xi Wan rejected the system immediately, “I don’t want to look. It’s the second male protagonist who’s saving the beauty today, not me, a cannon fodder supporting female character who is going to save the beauty. Why should I go and take a look?”
The system thought about it and felt that Xi Wan was right, so it kept its mouth shut.
Xi Wan looked at her nails in boredom, thinking about what style she should get her nails done in the next time she went for a manicure. Just then, someone came over and sat beside her. His face was flushed red as he said, “Hello, Miss Xi Wan. My name is Sheng Han. I’m one of the guests on the variety show.”
Xi Wan had never heard of this name before. She raised her head and glanced at Sheng Han. She felt that he looked like her neighbor’s bashful younger brother.
The system sounded an alarm in her head. [Attention! Sheng Han is trying to please you.]
“But look at him, he’s really cute,” Xi Wan said.
The system warned: [Don’t be blinded by beauty!]
