A pink helicopter slowly descended from the sky.
Yes!
That's right!
It was a super flashy pink helicopter, adorned with white and pink heart-shaped balloons.
"Wow, this is the first time I've seen a pink helicopter. It's so beautiful and girlish."
"Even a tough guy like me likes this flashy pink!"
"Quick, take pictures! I want to post them on my social media."
"Why is there a helicopter coming to our company? Is this for a movie or something?"
...
The employees in the company began to murmur amongst themselves, and Lin Xingwan was also incredibly curious.
As the helicopter landed steadily and the cabin door opened, Jia Yanzhen, dressed in a white suit, appeared in everyone's sight.
"This man is so handsome, is he a celebrity?"
"My eyes are feasting! He's the most handsome male celebrity I've ever seen in real life."
"This man looks like the one who sent flowers to our boss yesterday..."
With Jia Yanzhen's appearance, the hearts of those who were already captivated by the pink helicopter instantly exploded.
Jia Yanzhen, with a proud demeanor, pushed his sunglasses up onto his head and winked at Lin Xingwan in the crowd.
Lin Xingwan: "..."
The first thing she thought of upon seeing Jia Yanzhen was to turn around and leave.
Seeing Lin Xingwan turn to leave, Jia Yanzhen quickly descended from the helicopter and chased after her.
Lin Xingwan's footsteps quickened, and eventually, she started to jog.
Unfortunately, she was wearing high heels and was no match for Jia Yanzhen. Before she could go far, he grabbed her arm.
"Lin Xingwan, why are you running away when you see me? Are you deliberately trying to get my attention?"
Lin Xingwan tried to pull her hand away, but Jia Yanzhen's grip was strong. She said helplessly, "Jia Yanzhen, what are you doing? Bringing a helicopter to my company? Are you crazy?"
Lin Xingwan was puzzled why this man, Jia Yanzhen, had such a strong desire to conquer her.
She naturally didn't believe that Jia Yanzhen had fallen madly in love with her after just a few encounters. Especially since he was such a playboy, Lin Xingwan knew very well that he must have a purpose in approaching her.
"Of course, I'm here to pick up my 'Starry Baby.' Don't you think I look like a prince charming descending from the heavens today? According to the script, you should be infatuated by my domineering, cool, and awesome behavior and feel like a princess in a fairy tale."
Jia Yanzhen's words gave Lin Xingwan goosebumps. "I just feel like you're a big monkey who loves to be watched. Jia Yanzhen, let go of me. Don't be so clingy in public. Let go of me!"
The pushing and shoving between Lin Xingwan and Jia Yanzhen was witnessed by everyone in the company.
"The boss's every romantic interest is so top-notch! When will I be as outstanding as the boss?"
"I prefer Mr. Zhou. I think Mr. Zhou looks very mature and steady, and he's also secretly scheming and reserved. I like that kind of man. This rich and handsome guy in front of us is a bit too childish."
"I think this rich and handsome guy is quite good. He's young and full of energy."
"You guys have such limited horizons. Why can't we have both Mr. Zhou and this rich and handsome guy?"
A group of employees showed no intention of rescuing their boss; instead, they indulged in unrealistic fantasies and discussions about the scene.
Jia Yanzhen seized this opportunity and began to drag Lin Xingwan towards the helicopter.
Lin Xingwan refused to comply, even starting to slap Jia Yanzhen's hand. "Jia Yanzhen, where are you taking me? I'm telling you, this is illegal in broad daylight! Let go of me!"
"What, does your Peak Entertainment's new movie production no longer need sponsors?" Jia Yanzhen asked.
Lin Xingwan stopped struggling and looked at Jia Yanzhen with a confused gaze. "What do you mean by that?"
"What do you think?" Jia Yanzhen gave Lin Xingwan a devilish smile and, regardless of her agreement, pulled her onto the helicopter.
With a bang, the helicopter door was closed.
Jia Yanzhen finally released his grip on Lin Xingwan. It was then that Lin Xingwan clearly saw a middle-aged woman with a smile on her face inside the helicopter.
"Hello, Ms. Lin. I am your stylist. Please have a seat on the sofa, and I will begin your makeup and styling."
Lin Xingwan: ???
What on earth? A styling session on a plane?
"Jia Yanzhen, what exactly do you want?" If the helicopter hadn't already taken off, Lin Xingwan would have jumped out of it.
She glared at Jia Yanzhen angrily, having suffered too many defeats in terms of physical strength in the past few days.
"Do you want to attend the 'Jile City's Jile Feast' looking like this? Lin Xingwan, if you can secure sponsorship looking like this, I'll chop off my head and give it to you to use as a ball."
After saying that, Jia Yanzhen provocatively made a throat-slitting gesture.
Jile City?
Jile Feast?
Lin Xingwan stared blankly at Jia Yanzhen, her eyes revealing unconcealed shock.
In the business world, you might not know who the richest person is or who the world's richest person is, but the Jile Feast of Jile City is a place that every businessman dreams of attending.
Held once every five years, the Jile Feast invites only the wealthiest tycoons from around the world.
These tycoons have investments spread across the globe. Without a certain status and standing, one is not qualified to attend.
Jia Yanzhen was actually taking her to the Jile Feast! If she could find a sponsor at the Jile Feast, the starting line for "Miracle" would be raised by several notches.
"Are you really taking me to the Jile Feast?" Lin Xingwan's almond-shaped eyes were filled with excitement, like stars scattered in the sky, making them incredibly beautiful.
Jia Yanzhen felt his heart inexplicably accelerate as Lin Xingwan looked at him like that.
He answered somewhat awkwardly, "Yes, what's wrong? With my status and position, attending a Jile Feast is as easy as snapping my fingers. As long as you're with me, let alone the Jile Feast, even the Queen Mother's Peach Banquet, I'll take you there in a rocket."
Lin Xingwan rolled her eyes at Jia Yanzhen, then obediently sat on the sofa and let the stylist do her makeup.
Jia Yanzhen took the opportunity to sit beside Lin Xingwan and started taking selfies with his phone.
As the pink helicopter flew further and further away, becoming a black dot that disappeared from everyone's sight, Zhou Jinbai's figure appeared behind Liu Mengqin and the others.
Seeing everyone gathered in the villa's courtyard, he couldn't help but ask, "What happened here?"
Upon hearing Zhou Jinbai's voice, Liu Mengqin's expression immediately turned serious.
"Mr. Zhou, are you here to see Xingwan?" Lin Xingwan asked knowingly.
Zhou Jinbai nodded. "Yes."
"You're too late. Xingwan was taken away by Jia Yanzhen in a helicopter two minutes ago." As soon as Liu Mengqin finished speaking, Zhou Jinbai's face instantly darkened.
At the same time, Zhou Jinbai's phone vibrated a few times.
He took out his phone and saw a picture sent by Jia Yanzhen.
He and Lin Xingwan were sitting on the same sofa. As if to provoke Zhou Jinbai, Jia Yanzhen placed his hand on the top of the sofa, creating the illusion that he was embracing Lin Xingwan.
Zhou Jinbai, with a cold expression, added Jia Yanzhen to his blacklist and turned to leave.
Two hours later.
The pink helicopter landed on an isolated island.
It should have been nightfall, but due to its geographical location, this small island still had over a thousand hours until the next sunset.
A castle was built at the highest point of the island. It was said that the royal family built this castle to be closer to the gods, hence it was a pilgrimage site. Standing on this island, one's soul would be cleansed of darkness by the sacred light of the gods.
When the darkness, symbolizing suffering, disappeared, only bliss remained, thus the castle was named 'Jile City.'
Every five years, Jile City hosts a grand feast.
Each feast is preceded by immense fanfare and a clear theme. Popular celebrities in the entertainment industry are merely jesters for entertainment at the Jile Feast.
Lin Xingwan used to enjoy reading reports about the Jile Feast. The Jile Feast five years ago was named 'Snow Spirit.' On this island, where night was rare, artificial snow was created, popular celebrities sang amidst the snow, and international supermodels walked the runway in exquisite costumes.
That Jile Feast was considered a classic among classics.
The Jile Feast ten years ago was called 'Ancient Melody.' All the guests wore ancient costumes, some even meticulously restored museum-grade phoenix coronets and robes, with each outfit worth billions...
The impact of the Jile Feast ten years ago continued to influence the ancient style fashion industry even a decade later, with designs drawing inspiration from those costumes.
The helicopter slid in a rather dramatic fashion along the red carpet. Lin Xingwan saw a row of servants in butler uniforms standing on both sides of the red carpet, bowing in unison towards the helicopter.
They welcomed each invited guest in the most grand manner.
When the helicopter stopped moving, Jia Yanzhen said to Lin Xingwan, "I'll go down first. You quickly change."
With that, the man disembarked from the helicopter.
Meanwhile, with the help of the stylist, Lin Xingwan put on a dress that looked chaotic but was stunning when worn.
The pink helicopter itself was already attention-grabbing, but when the helicopter cabin door opened again, the onlookers gasped in amazement.
Even Jia Yanzhen, who had seen countless beauties, casually glanced at Lin Xingwan and couldn't look away.
The lace-hollowed mermaid dress fit Lin Xingwan's slender yet not frail frame perfectly. Layers of white feathers, crafted from delicate gauze, gently adorned her. Her slightly curled hair cascaded casually over her shoulders. She merely looked at the world, yet she left an indelible mark on people's hearts like a glacier rose.
At that moment, Jia Yanzhen felt as if he was witnessing the descent of a goddess.
She was absolutely stunning!
The media eagerly turned their cameras towards Lin Xingwan. Even Jia Yanzhen couldn't control himself, walking to the side of the helicopter and slightly bending his arm, waiting for Lin Xingwan to take it.
However, Lin Xingwan merely gave him a cold, indifferent glance. She thought her aloof attitude would make him retreat, but to her surprise, Jia Yanzhen spoke, "Woman, you have successfully captured my attention."
Lin Xingwan let out a cold chuckle. "I read that 'CEO' line in junior high. It's so outdated and cheesy."
"Am I not a domineering CEO?" Jia Yanzhen, unable to have Lin Xingwan on his arm, could only walk around her.
"No," Lin Xingwan replied.
"Then what makes one a CEO?"
"A domineering CEO would also say things like 'You're such a tantalizing little vixen, get on and move yourself,' 'Woman, you're playing with fire,' 'You don't have the right to say no,' 'So, did she admit her mistake?'"
Jia Yanzhen: "..."
Soon, Lin Xingwan and Jia Yanzhen arrived at the entrance of the Jile Feast.
The words 'Xian Zhi Zong' (Trace of Immortals) appeared and disappeared within a large, mist-shrouded crystal pillar. On either side of the gate, national harp masters played ethereal and melodious music.
Looking in from the entrance, the entire castle was magnificent and dreamlike, with a faint mist swirling, as if one had stepped from the mortal world into the realm of immortals.
Lin Xingwan wrote her name on the check-in wall at the entrance. She saw Jia Yanzhen write his name next to hers and, childishly, draw a heart.
Lin Xingwan: "..."
She seriously suspected Jia Yanzhen of having an IQ of 250.
Soon, the two entered the interior of Jile City.
The resplendent hall, the awe-inspiring European reliefs, and the giant oil painting on the ceiling, which reportedly took over three years to complete, all showcased the extravagance and grandeur of the Jile Feast.
"Aren't you excited? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to come here even if you tried your whole life. I'll give you one more chance to be with me. I advise you not to be ungrateful."
Jia Yanzhen was constantly thinking of making Lin Xingwan his woman, but Lin Xingwan merely pulled at the corner of her mouth and replied perfunctorily, "Thank you, Mr. Jia. You are truly amazing. I sincerely thank you. I am indeed ungrateful, and I am willing to give the opportunity to be with you to those who need it."
Jia Yanzhen was about to say something more when a very familiar figure suddenly appeared in his line of sight.
The man's roguish expression vanished, and the flirtatiousness and liveliness in his peach blossom eyes turned into coldness.
Jia Yanzhen's expression changed so drastically that Lin Xingwan couldn't help but follow his gaze.
Lin Xingwan also showed the same expression as Jia Yanzhen.
Because the person walking towards them was none other than Dongfang Junze!
"Searching for him a thousand times, and then turning back, I found him when I least expected it."
She had been looking for an opportunity to meet Dongfang Junze, and now heaven had presented her with this chance.
Lin Xingwan's gaze had already fixed on Dongfang Junze's ear.
This time, she was determined to find out the truth!
