Don't Discriminate Against Species Chapter 90 - Red Carpet

Chapter 90 - Red Carpet

“Boss!” Ning Xuan ran over in a haste. Seeing that Fu Li was gripping Zhuang Qing’s wrist, he came to a halt, turned, and got ready to leave. He might be a sword, but he definitely wasn’t a sword without eyes.

“Ning Xuan,” Fu Li didn’t think too much. After confirming that there wasn’t much of an issue with Zhuang Qing’s body, he released Zhuang Qing and called after Ning Xuan, “What are you running so anxiously for? Did something happen?”

Ning Xuan secretly glanced at Zhuang Qing. Unfortunately, Zhuang Qing’s head was lowered, preventing him from seeing anything much. He could only turn to face Fu Li and say with a dry laugh, “Nothing major, it’s just that the human business community has recently invited the boss to partic.i.p.ate in a very important charity event. This charity event has a high level of public credibility. Even the country regards it with a high degree of importance, so our company will receive an invitation letter every year. I came to ask if the boss will be present in person this year.”

Many of the management bureau staff usually came and went, and were involved in many activities. If they were not under an organization, they would inevitably be discovered by perceptive humans over time. This was why they were all employees of Chang Long Biotechnology Company to the outside world. Having an ident.i.ty was more advantageous when it came to concealing themselves in the human world.

The sole thing they had not considered was profiting so much from human women. Chang Long’s various makeup and skincare products had actually turned into high-end, extravagant skincare products with fame on an international level. Out of their revenue every year, this aspect accounted for the largest percentage.

Therefore, there was an important trick to doing business – obtaining the hearts of women was equivalent to obtaining the world.

Zhuang Qing rarely made an appearance at this sort of event. Other people had also been arranged to partic.i.p.ate in the charity event for the past two years. Ning Xuan’s inquiry this year was merely routine business. With the boss’ looks, he would be considered handsome from all angles in the human world, with no dead angles. If he partic.i.p.ated in this charity event and was exposed by the live broadcast camera, perhaps he would stimulate the company’s sales volume.

Of course, he only dared to think about this sort of matter in his heart. The yao world’s sense of aesthetics emphasized might and majesty. No matter how good-looking the human form, it had no fur, no scales, no ability to climb or jump, and its proportions were not beautiful. It was too weak.

“Charity event?” Zhuang Qing looked at Fu Li beside him. After a period of silence, he said. “Okay.”

“Ah?” Ning Xuan thought that he had heard wrongly. With the boss’ stinginess, it would be extremely embarra.s.sing if the boss arrived at the charity event and then couldn’t bear to donate.

“Fu Li hasn’t experienced human society’s high-end places, I’ll bring him along to take a look at the world,” Zhuang Qing’s expression was calm. “Will that be an issue?”

“No problem, no problem,” Ning Xuan hurriedly replied. “I’ll send a reply to the organizer right this instant.”

According to the previous years’ rules, Chang Long would donate twelve school buses with the highest safety specifications, twelve fully-equipped medical vehicles, twelve cleaning vehicles, as well as fifty million yuan. The live charity auction was the only thing remaining. At such a moment, the more money one spent, the more face one would have.

However, Ning Xuan felt that their boss might be stingy at the charity auction this time.

Ning Xuan replied to the organizer’s invitation and then thought of a question – why did the boss want to specially bring Fu ge out to see the world? Song Yu had lived for tens of thousands of years but also hadn’t seen much of the world, so why wasn’t he bringing Song Yu?

Was it because Song Yu was too ugly?

The annual charity evening party was a venue for celebrities from all social circles to flaunt their fame and wealth. Businessmen, scholars, and celebrities were the main players at the charity evening party. At this time, bored netizens would pay the most attention to the famous brand that donated the most, the celebrity that wore the prettiest clothes, and the person who was stingy and donated less. This annual night event was always a huge show full of twists and turns.

As a local, old, and famous luxury goods company, despite Chang Long’s representative not being as eye-catching as the celebrities, they still had quite a lot of presence in the eyes of numerous netizens. This was because their products were too expensive and too effective. Despite being pressured by many foreign luxury products, they continued to stand tall and was even pa.s.sed down for many years. Mystery and grandeur surrounded it.

The evening party hadn’t begun, but there were already netizens mocking that Chang Long would definitely be donating vehicles and money again this year, and that they would send the beautiful and charismatic female director to represent them. The beautiful female director they spoke about was Xu Yuan, who was slightly more popular than the rest of the management bureau staff. In the eyes of the female netizens, Xu Yuan was young and capable. Although she hadn’t gotten married and given birth to children, she was never lacking in outstanding men to stand by her side. She was practically the example of a successful woman.

Naturally, the netizens didn’t know that these outstanding men were all employees of the management bureau. In addition, the majority of them could not fundamentally be considered men, but were instead male in the animal world, since they were yao.

Xu Yuan had her own weibo account with a significant number of fans. Therefore, on the day of the charity event, there were fans who asked Xu Yuan which male companion she would be appearing with on the red carpet. In the previous years, Xu Yuan had always appeared with a male companion, and most of these male companions were all artists with more fame, so the netizens could not be blamed either for gossiping in this manner.

The fans of many male artists were awaiting the result, because the male artist that appeared with Xu Yuan would always become Chang Long’s male luxury goods amba.s.sador. Many people wanted their idols to s.n.a.t.c.h this amba.s.sador position. As a result, there were quite a few fans posting their idols’ photos in the comment section. As one of the most popular male artists currently, She Weilong’s photo naturally also appeared in the comment section.

However, She Weilong hated that he couldn’t kneel in front of these fans and plead with them not to help him raise his sense of presence. Ordinary humans wouldn’t know the truth behind Chang Long Company, but he was very clear what exactly this company was. It was clearly the cultivation world’s government; who would run to the government for no reason?

She Weilong’s manager saw him twisting left and right as he sat in front of the makeup mirror. “Wei Long, what’s with you?”

“The weather’s been dry lately, my back is a bit itchy,” She Weilong laughed dryly. Not only was it itchy, it even felt chilly.

“It might be your first time attending a charity party, but you don’t have to be nervous. The entire process of the evening party will be broadcasted live, so everyone present will be more controlled. When you reach, just take note of your etiquette,” The manager looked very highly upon She Weilong’s talent and the company was also interested in supporting him, which was why they didn’t intend to let him create something out of nothing to influence the favorable impression bystanders had of him just for the sake of attention.

“I know,” She Weilong nodded. To him, humans were not a form of existence that he needed to fear.

Seeing that he was keeping his composure, the manager was also rea.s.sured.

The appearances of the idol sect as well as the performance skills of the strength sect were all treasures in this circle. If they were not carefully protected, they would be easily destroyed.

At the villa, Fu Li spread out both arms and allowed Zhuang Qing to straighten his clothes. Compared to the attire he had worn to the birthday banquet of the sect leader of the Qingxiao Sect, this attire was even more solemn and refined. All the accessories matched perfectly.

Even the men’s brooch at his chest was made of pure diamond. In the human world, it was called a diamond brooch.

His hair was put in order by the hairdresser in the painting of the court lady. A layer of makeup was also applied onto his face. His entire person was tossed about like he was a bonsai. He looked down at Zhuang Qing, who was helping him to tie his necktie. “Zhuang little dragon, it’s not like I’m some important figure, is there a need to be so strict?”

“Do you know what your position is to the outside world?” Zhuang Qing pressed down on the corners of the bowtie with a serious expression.

Fu Li, who still didn’t quite understand the complicated affairs of the human world, saw the solemn look on Zhuang Qing’s face and grew somewhat anxious. “What?”

“The chairman’s special a.s.sistant,” Zhuang Qing took a step back and nodded with satisfaction. “Just barely presentable. You won’t lose face in front of the camera.”

“Who is the chairman?” Fu Li was at a loss. “Why do we have to walk the red carpet?”

“I’m the chairman, of course,” Zhuang Qing lowered his head and straightened his cuff links, not looking at Fu Li. “Our company is extremely famous in the human world. The evening party today is very important, how can we miss the opportunity to walk the red carpet for publicity?”

Fu Li suddenly saw the light. “So that’s the case.” He fished out his Qiankun pouch from his ears. The instant the pouch landed in his hands, it immediately expanded in size. He took out two milky white medicinal pills. “This is a Huanyan Pill. Eating it will make someone better-looking, do you want one?”

Upon seeing the Huanyan Pill offered to him, Zhuang Qing nearly pulled off his cuff links. He was silent for two seconds before letting Fu Li keep the pills. “We’re fine like this, using the Huanyan Pill will be an unfair advantage.”

“Oh,” Upon turning, Fu Li saw the court lady yao staring at the Huanyan Pills in his hands with s.h.i.+ning eyes. He conveniently handed the pills to the court lady yao. “Do you like it? For you.”

“Thank you, Fu Li daren,” Unable to contain her joy, the court lady yao kept the Huanyan Pills as if they were treasures.

No woman could resist the temptation of beauty, and it was no different for female yao.

Chu Yu, who was seated on a couch, had a baffled expression on his face. It should be said that he was already very baffled when he learnt that the boss would be bringing Fu Li to the charity event and would even be walking the red carpet. When he saw the boss personally straightening Fu Li’s clothes and noticed that the two people were even wearing two exceedingly similar suits, his entire person became petrified.

He had constantly felt that there was something off. He had been by the boss’ side for so many years and had never known the boss to have a habit of dressing someone up. Fu ge did indeed look very much like a n.o.ble family’s young master after dressing up, but…

Which company chairman would bring their special a.s.sistant along when walking the red carpet? This wasn’t in line with the usual practices in the human world. Also, what was that about the evening party being very important, and that it was necessary for them to dress in their best attire to walk the red carpet and take the opportunity to promote the company? All of that was utter nonsense.

If it was really that important, why hadn’t the boss attended it even once all these years?

Chu Yu watched the boss stoop over to help Fu Li put on a watch and felt that he might have discovered a shocking secret.

When they left the villa, Fu Li looked at the long limousine in front of them and said in surprise, “The capital’s roads are very congested, it won’t be convenient to drive such a long car, right?”

Chu Yu wanted to say that people usually wouldn’t go forward and gather around it when they saw such a long car.

But Zhuang Qing nodded in a very serious manner. “It is indeed not very convenient. That’s why we need to leave in advance.” He turned to look at Chu Yu. “Drive slower later.”

Chu Yu put a smile on his face. “Yes.”

The inside of the car was very s.p.a.cious. It was outfitted with everything that could be needed, and lying down wasn’t a problem either. Fu Li, however, was a little unaccustomed to it, because the car didn’t have Zhuang Qing’s favorite bright and s.h.i.+ny things. There weren’t even any gla.s.s beads, let alone diamond gems.

As if understanding Fu Li’s thoughts, Zhuang Qing said, “I usually don’t use this car much.”

Fu Li nodded in understanding. “It is indeed a bit simple on the inside.”

Chu Yu, who was playing the role of driver, suddenly felt upon hearing these words that the boss and Fu ge might have a common language when it came to aesthetics.

Glamorous clothing could be seen at the scene of the charity party. Occasionally, luxurious cars would come to a stop at the entrance of the hotel. Under the lens of countless cameras, the car door would open, and someone ill.u.s.trious or famous would walk out.

Despite the fact that it was already extremely chilly on an October night in the capital, dedicated female artists still put on pretty evening dresses and wore their most fitting smile. They would walk past the cameras and then leave their names at the signing board.

The netizens watching the broadcast would remark on the artist’s appearance. There were few evaluations of successful businessmen, since they weren’t good-looking enough to attract them. The most they would do was lament about how this person was rich, that person was also rich, who had a good relations.h.i.+p with their companion, who and who was just a couple in name, and how they were in private.

The artists’ fans were busy fighting amongst themselves. Any artist with a bad appearance stood the chance of being mocked by a small proportion of people.

Netizen A: The entry segment is about to end, why have we still not seen Chang Long’s representative? Or is Chang Long not partic.i.p.ating this year?

Netizen B: Not likely. Chang Long is our local ethical enterprise. There are really no flaws to be picked out when it comes to doing charity. The amount of money they’ve spent on charity these years might give everyone a shock.

Netizen C: Everyone in the country knows that Chang Long does well in the charity aspect. Maybe the other party considers this charity event to be beneath them and aren’t willing to come?

Netizen D: The black sunspot above, rest your mouth. I advise you not to say anything reckless. Don’t use the blackening methods in the entertainment industry on Chang Long. Don’t regret it if you end up harming your idol.

Chang Long was an extremely large company and they could be considered one of the pillars of the local economy. It was reported that they had been a huge company in the country more than one hundred years ago. It was just that the people in power were extremely lowkey, which was why they were not conspicuous in the eyes of ordinary civilians.

But if they were to really discuss this, almost no businessman present at the event today could compare to the person with power over Chang Long.

When the long, branded limousine stopped outside the venue, the reporters at the scene snapped continuous photos of the car. The car door swung open and an exceedingly handsome man in a suit alighted. Following this, the sound of the cameras flas.h.i.+ng intensified.

After the handsome man alighted, an elegant young man with a n.o.ble’s aura got down from the car. The diamond brooch on his suit glinted under the flashes of light, giving off a radiance that dazzled the eyes.

The netizens behind their computer screens hated that they couldn’t glue their eyeb.a.l.l.s to the screen. Idol? Celebrity? In the face of the pinnacle of good-looking men, all of that was sh*t.

Men who were handsome from all angles, without any dead angles – that was only fair.

Ilyz: The amount of shade that’s being thrown at Song Yu behind his back lol…
