"Go out first, I'll change. I'll be quick," Yu Yan pushed Li Se out of the dormitory and closed the door, then went to change.
Li Se thought it would be quick, but it took more than half an hour before Yu Yan emerged from the dormitory. She twirled around and asked, "How is it? Does it look good?"
"It looks good, but it doesn't seem much different from before?" Li Se was somewhat speechless. Had the half-hour change been for nothing?
"How can you say that?" Yu Yan said angrily.
Li Se quickly pulled her into his arms and smiled, "As long as it's you, you look good in anything!"
"That's more like it," Yu Yan huffed.
"Excuse me, can I come along?" Lin Wenxiu asked weakly.
Yu Yan quickly broke free from Li Se's embrace, blushing. "Sure, let's go together. I originally wanted Shu Yu to come with us too, but she has something today. Otherwise, you would have been lucky, with two beauties flanking you."
About half an hour later, Li Se and the others arrived at the event venue. Many people were present, and according to Yu Yan, the organizer of this event was a big shot.
Li Se wasn't very interested in such events. He'd rather see patients if he had the time, but he came to accompany Yu Yan and see what celebrity was there.
Most of the attendees were wealthy individuals, much like a commercial event. Many were chatting in groups about business matters.
"Jiang Manni is here!"
"She's so beautiful!"
"Just like on TV, so pure and lovely."
"..."
At this moment, there was a stir in the crowd.
A beautifully dressed woman walked in, with a sweet face and a good figure. In this circle, she was definitely a standout.
"Mannii!" Yu Yan was naturally excited to see her idol.
Lin Wenxiu beside her was also thrilled. Both were fans of Jiang Manni, and seeing their idol made them very happy and excited.
"Yan Yan, I think she's not as pretty as you," Li Se said indifferently. It was undeniable that Jiang Manni was beautiful and her makeup was exquisite, but compared to Yu Yan's natural beauty, she was a bit lacking.
"I didn't know you could also speak sweet words," Yu Yan couldn't help but smile. "My dad said it would be great if Jiang Manni could endorse our company, but I doubt it's possible."
Although the Yu family had a certain scale, it was still very difficult to invite such a top-tier celebrity. After all, endorsements for such stars started at tens of millions, and one couldn't afford it without considerable means.
Jiang Manni's appearance undoubtedly made her the center of attention. Many people came forward to greet her, as if she were the sole focus of everyone's admiration. She seemed to enjoy this feeling, but a hint of disdain flickered in her eyes. If it weren't for her image, she wouldn't bother with these people.
When people finally stopped fawning over Jiang Manni, Yu Yan and Lin Wenxiu immediately rushed to her, both extremely excited.
"Jiang Manni, we are your fans!" Yu Yan took out a notebook. "Could you give us an autograph?"
"I want an autograph too!" Lin Wenxiu said excitedly.
After a brief glance at Yu Yan and Lin Wenxiu, Jiang Manni frowned slightly. "May I ask who you are?"
"I'm Yu Yan."
"I'm Lin Wenxiu."
Both girls replied excitedly.
"Oh, is your family from a big company?" Jiang Manni asked again.
"My family is from Yu Corporation, it's not big, it's considered mid-to-lower tier in Qingyun City," Yu Yan said, not thinking too much and revealing her background.
Lin Wenxiu felt a bit awkward. "My family is quite ordinary. My parents are both office workers."
"I see," Jiang Manni chuckled, her expression showing contempt.
"Uh, can you sign?" Yu Yan didn't notice Jiang Manni's disdainful expression at all.
"Who do you think you are, that you deserve my autograph?" Jiang Manni sneered.
When she heard this, Yu Yan and Lin Wenxiu were stunned. In their impression, Jiang Manni was an intellectual, beautiful celebrity without airs. They never expected her to say such things to them.
"We... we are your fans," Yu Yan couldn't help but say.
Jiang Manni looked disgusted. "I have millions of fans, do I lack one more? What are you? Asking me for an autograph? If I gave autographs to every fan I casually met, with so many fans, how many would I sign in a day? Ridiculous, get out of my sight!"
If Yu Yan and Lin Wenxiu had some status, she wouldn't mind giving an autograph. But she had never even heard of this Yu Corporation. The other one was even more exaggerated, just an ordinary person. She couldn't understand how such people could attend this event.
"Why do you seem different from what I saw online?" Yu Yan said, feeling a bit hurt.
"What am I like?" Jiang Manni sneered. "I just don't understand how people of your status got in. Do you deserve to be here? Everyone at this event is someone important. Don't tell me you two snuck in? You brainless fans!"
Jiang Manni's voice was loud, and most people at the event were paying attention to her. Hearing this, they couldn't help but look over.
"Someone snuck in?"
"You need an invitation to get in here?"
"Fans of celebrities are the scariest these days, they're all brainless fans who sneak in to chase stars. I don't understand what these brainless fans are thinking. Is this a place they can just walk into?"
"Security, security, throw these two out!"
"..."
Everyone assumed Yu Yan and Lin Wenxiu were brainless fans who had snuck in. This also drew a lot of disgust from others, as they considered themselves distinguished and felt that if just anyone could attend the event, it would lower their own value.
Yu Yan and Lin Wenxiu's expressions soured. They truly hadn't expected their idol to be such a person.
"They were just asking for an autograph, you don't need to be so venomous," Li Se said with a frown. Just as he had thought, most celebrities would put on airs. At least so far, he had encountered quite a few.
"Are you also a snuck-in?" Jiang Manni said with disgust. "You're probably my brainless fan too, aren't you? Let me tell you, stop doing these brainless things. Is this an event you can attend? Do you really think that just because you're my fan, I have to take care of you? I have to give you autographs? Utterly laughable, get out of my sight immediately!"
