Chapter 1039 - 949: Competing Beauties
Ever since wrapping up the last scenes with Hua Tiantian, while waiting for it to air and with the company picking up a new show, She knew that despite having Li Li’s favor, most roles she got were supporting ones. Even if she landed a lead role, many of them weren’t favorable roles."While Li Li is still willing to see me, I must find an opportunity to really showcase myself. No matter how poorly things go, I can’t always take on supporting roles, or else I’ll go crazy by the afternoon."
In her self-talk, Huang Shan was very clear about what she wanted. But some things are easier said than done, so she found out that Li Li would be hosting a salon at the Four Seasons Hotel the next night. She planned to attend in her best attire.
"President Li, I really didn’t expect you to be so impressive."
Li Li looked far ahead and realized that hosting this music salon was quite meaningful. It was also a good opportunity to promote the new movie produced by his company, which would benefit its publicity.
While greeting those who approached him, Li Li’s attitude was relaxed and natural. His gaze became unfocused, staring at the other person seriously, with a determined expression.
Mo Wenwan’s outfit tonight was very low-key; she deliberately chose a black strapless gown. To highlight other artists, she kept it so low-key that she didn’t even wear a necklace, just diamond earrings, and styled her hair simply and casually. She paid close attention to Li Li’s every move wherever her eyes landed.
"Miss Mo, you look truly graceful tonight. Even the simplest clothes look extraordinary on you."
Mo Wenwan bowed her head to exchange pleasantries, and upon hearing the compliment, the smile on her lips became even more charming. As she turned to entertain others, a splash of red caught her attention not far away.
"Wasn’t she supposed to be with the film crew? Why is she here?"
With doubt, Mo Wenwan scrutinized the uninvited Huang Shan, noticing her deliberately dressed-up appearance, and her thoughts became diverse.
"Looks like she came for Li Li tonight."
Not only considering Huang Shan and Li Li’s personal affairs, but the goal tonight was to promote their artists and new movie, and perhaps attract some investment. Thinking of this made Mo Wenwan somewhat excited, as she widened her eyes and stayed alert to the surroundings, becoming more cautious herself.
Huang Shan immediately spotted Li Li surrounded by people. Seeing him in a tailcoat today, he appeared particularly gentlemanly. She couldn’t help but recall the night the two of them had previously spent together at the hotel, making her cheeks burn.
"Tonight is a perfect opportunity. I can’t miss it again."
Huang Shan steeled her resolve and walked proudly toward Li Li.
"Look, isn’t that actress Huang Shan?"
"Yes, the one from that TV show a while ago. I can’t seem to remember her character’s name on the show though..."
Two women whispered as they watched Huang Shan appear at the salon and head towards Li Li, becoming even more gossip-prone. They curiously observed Huang Shan’s bright expression until she stood in front of Li Li.
"President Li."
Huang Shan’s appearance caused the men surrounding Li Li to murmur among themselves.
Li Li’s gaze lingered on the V-neck of Huang Shan’s dress, noting her radiant appearance and seemingly good mood tonight. He squinted slightly and said, "Miss Huang Shan, you really honored me today by dressing up for the occasion."
