Yu Liu was unaware that she was being watched; she was busy stuffing snacks into her mouth, hoping to get rid of the taste.
Just now, after seeing Dongfang Qingyuan in person, Yu Liu was extremely shocked. The reason was simple: this Dongfang Qingyuan looked exactly like the AI program in Tai Shu Shang's mind!
Oh no, it should be said that the intelligent program in Taishu Shang's brain looks exactly like Dongfang Qingyuan, even the clothes they wear are the same.
It seems... I've discovered some incredible secret. Yu Liu thought in shock, then looked away from Dongfang Qingyuan and stared blankly ahead.
Taishu Shang actually has feelings for his father's nemesis... I wonder if Taishu Yannuo knows about this.
Lost in thought, Yu Liu unconsciously picked up a pastry in front of her and put it in her mouth. After chewing a few times, she instantly lost all interest in thinking about anything else.
So spicy!!!
The spiciness spread from her mouth, instantly assaulting her other senses. Yu Liu's eyes began to water uncontrollably.
"What's wrong? What did you just do?" In the blink of an eye, Yu Liu burst into tears, startling Li Tong.
"I ate...wasabi..."
Yu Liu's throat was hoarse from the spiciness. She managed to finish speaking and casually wiped away her tears.
"You didn't even watch where you were eating!" Li Tong said helplessly, and quickly handed the pastries she had taken to Yu Liu: "These are just normal desserts, have a few to help you relax."
Yu Liu was overwhelmed by the spiciness; the entire dessert was filled with wasabi, and she couldn't understand why such a dessert would be served at a banquet. She accepted Li Tong's offer and casually picked up a few desserts. Although the taste was a little off when mixed with the spiciness, it did alleviate the burning sensation.
As a result, Yu Liu's expression relaxed. Because of the tears she had shed earlier, Yu Liu's eyes were a little swollen, so she closed them to relieve the swelling. Yan Ning happened to see this.
This led him to misinterpret Yu Liu's expression as one of satisfaction.
After feeling better, Yu Liu breathed a real sigh of relief.
The fundraising dinner became much more interesting after the fundraising event was over.
In addition to some of the alliance's top executives and scions of prominent families, the banquet also included a number of celebrities from the entertainment industry. These celebrities were all top stars in the industry, and in addition to making the usual donations, they also needed to add to the festivities of the banquet.
To put it simply, those with talents should prepare a performance to liven up the banquet. During this time, many people will also take the opportunity to socialize, since the entire castle is full of powerful and influential people, and it's never a bad thing to make more friends.
Yu Liu watched the celebrities' performances with great interest, but she had her own agenda. She hadn't forgotten her purpose in coming to this world: besides helping Tai Shu Shang live a different life, she also wanted to gain as much affection as possible from others, so that she could eventually become stronger.
To gain more people's favor, you first need to let others know you. Otherwise, if people don't know you, how can they possibly like you?
Simply put, the first step to getting others to like you is to become famous. And the first way Yu Liu thought of to become famous was to become a celebrity.
Sing a song, dance a dance, act a movie, and then you'll have a lot of fans. Although it's difficult to become famous this way, it's definitely the fastest shortcut. Moreover, if you have the resources and connections, becoming an overnight sensation is not a dream.
"Li Tong, I have a question for you." Yu Liu nudged the bored Li Tong, who had been spacing out since the celebrities started performing.
"Hmm?" Li Tong uttered a syllable in confusion: "What's the problem?"
"I'm just curious." Yu Liu leaned closer to Li Tong and lowered her voice: "Um... in our aristocratic circles, are there any people who have debuted as celebrities?"
Having traversed several worlds, Yu Liu had matured considerably. She knew that in high society, many families did not want their members to appear in public. Just like Qi Jing, who had gone to great lengths to persuade his parents before being allowed to enter the entertainment industry as an actor. This kind of rule was generally applicable in every world.
"To become a star?"
Li Tong looked surprised. She reached out her right hand and placed it on Yu Liu's forehead: "You don't have a fever? Why would you ask such a silly question when you have nothing better to do?"
Yu Liu slapped her hand away, somewhat speechless: "What's wrong with you? I was just curious!"
"It's foolish enough to even ask that question!" Seeing that Yu Liu genuinely didn't understand, Li Tong sighed helplessly, "How did your family raise you? It's made you think like that..."
“Being a celebrity isn’t all that great. Nobody in our circle would want to be a celebrity,” Li Tong explained to Yu Liu, counting on her fingers. “I know being a celebrity is glamorous, with a bunch of people idolizing you and making tons of money, but that’s just the surface. For people in our circle, firstly, making money as a celebrity through acting isn’t as lucrative as taking over a family business. Besides, becoming a celebrity puts you in a lower social class. Secondly, being a celebrity means your private life is constantly exposed to the public eye. That’s not inherently bad, but for people like us, even a small, casual thing you do could become a target for political enemies attacking your family. All things considered, it’s not worth it. Why would anyone want to be one?”
"Don't even think about foolishly hiding your identity and secretly becoming a star. Without the protection of your family, you're nothing. The entertainment industry is a chaotic place, and you can't get ahead without some powerful backers."
Li Tong poked Yu Liu's forehead and earnestly warned her.
Yu Liu hugged the spot where she had been poked and nodded vigorously. Li Tong's analysis was so reasonable and well-founded that it completely dispelled Yu Liu's idea of becoming a star.
"What is that annoying woman doing?!"
Yan Ning stared intently at Yu Liu, and seeing Yu Liu looking "wronged" after being poked by Li Tong, he couldn't help but curse out loud.
"what?"
Upon hearing his words, Luo Hua uttered a single syllable in confusion, completely baffled as to what had gotten into this 13-year-old Tai Ming Divine Lord.
Sigh, kids these days are so hard to manage!
