Chapter 509: Chapter 509: The Fame and Profit Arena

Ling Feng had never expected the Illusionist to give him such a message, and he scoffed at the Illusionist’s words.

The Illusionist, seeing Ling Feng’s disdain, said, "I can teach you how to contact the demon, but I don’t believe you can capture her! Though she is not my equal in spiritual power, when it comes to hiding, truly no one can match her!"

After some conversation, Ling Feng once again suppressed the Illusionist.

The Illusionist was under a Prohibition cast by Ling Feng, so he was not worried about the Illusionist causing any trouble, but Ling Feng still had to consider how to deal with the Illusionist.

Killing him would be a terrible waste, after all, he was a master of spiritual power, and keeping him could definitely be useful, but Ling Feng didn’t feel particularly secure about not killing him.

"Forget it, I’ll deal with the demon issue first!" Ling Feng sighed and thought to himself.

"Master!" At that moment, Wei Meizi spoke with a hint of expectation, "Could you accompany me to a gathering tonight?"

"Tonight?" Ling Feng initially wanted to refuse, but seeing Wei Meizi’s anxious expression, he softened and said, "Alright, I have nothing else planned anyway, I’ll accompany you this once!"

Joy appeared on Wei Meizi’s face: "Really? That’s wonderful!"

As night fell, the Junyuelai Grand Hotel buzzed with activity, as one glamorous star after another walked the red carpet into the hotel.

Outside, countless paparazzi and entertainment journalists took photos. This collaboration between Huan Yu Entertainment and Meizi Entertainment had truly caused a sensation in the entertainment industry.

"Look, that’s the popular starlet Chen Meina, truly deserving of the title ’Enchantress,’ she is stunning!"

"Isn’t that Mi Zixu who went to develop in South Korea? So handsome and warm, such a sunny smile!"

"Even the Treasure Island’s March Flower group is here; it’s nearly half the entertainment industry!"

...

One star after another walked down the red carpet, and gasps of awe could be heard intermittently. The fan clubs were ready, each fervently cheering for their own idols, afraid that other stars might steal their thunder.

But tonight, the stars were mere backdrops, as the real protagonists appeared one after another after the stars.

There were renowned directors from both domestic and international circles, senior leaders from Huan Yu Entertainment, and the key persons in charge from Meizi Entertainment.

Although these people were not as dazzling as the stars, the sensation they caused was definitely incomparable to the stars!

Zhang Qiang entered the Junyuelai Grand Hotel, but he did not see Wei Meizi. A hint of puzzlement flashed through his eyes; didn’t Wei Meizi want to meet Director Cameron? According to my research, she admires Director Cameron the most!

But time was getting closer, and according to the scheduled time, the party was about to start soon.

Zhang Qiang, as one of the organizers, reluctantly teamed up with the person in charge from Meizi Entertainment to host the gathering. After a brief opening speech, everyone casually mingled and chatted.

Those glamorous stars, at this moment, each one humbly surrounded the movie tycoons, like little schoolboys.

Some moderately attractive female stars were dressed in almost nude evening gowns and showed up next to those middle-aged and elderly men with a seductive posture, speaking in a sweet, enticing tone as if flirting subtly.

And those tycoons, with unchanged expressions, stretched their hands to the waists of these actresses, gently holding them.

It was an era that ridiculed the poor but not the promiscuous; you paid with your youth and body and, in return, gained resources and recognition. Beneath the shiny lights hid a stark field of fame and profit.

"What a bunch of ugly people!" Ling Feng, standing at a high level, looked down at the joyous chatter below and couldn’t help but frown.

Wei Meizi held Ling Feng’s hand, saying, "If people don’t respect themselves, who will respect them? In Meizi Entertainment, I’ve been trying my best to protect these girls from the unspoken rules, but instead, they despise me for it; because this protection blocks their shortcut to fame!"

Wei Meizi sighed and said, "This circle is neither big nor small! Resources are limited, but each year, more and more boys and girls who dream of becoming stars enter. They come with fantasies of instant fame but soon realize that the circle’s laws are so cruel. Those who can’t uphold their principles will compromise with the unspoken rules!"

"There’s really no choice," Wei Meizi said helplessly, "You can’t expect every newcomer to uphold their principles, to stay pure. For fame, some girls accept ’godfathers’ and meet those bottom-line-breaking demands, while the boys, they attack each other in secret, expose each other’s dark secrets, even become kept by wealthy women... after all, this circle is a place that makes countless people scream and go crazy!"

Ling Feng glanced at Wei Meizi, smiled, and patted her hand, saying, "Don’t worry, I’m not questioning your leadership; I’m just a bit emotional! Let’s go meet your great idol, Director Cameron!"

As he spoke, a slight smile appeared on Ling Feng’s face, that old guy Cameron, it had been so many years since they last met, he wondered if Cameron would still recognize him!

Zhang Qiang was extremely frustrated. He was originally certain that Wei Meizi would definitely come!

But up to this moment, he had still not seen Wei Meizi, which made him somewhat anxious.

"Director Wei, Mr. Ling!" At that moment, a commotion came from the entrance, and the people from Meizi Entertainment gathered towards the door.

"Could it be..." Zhang Qiang’s heart leapt with joy, then he followed them as well.

Sure enough, Wei Meizi had arrived, but astonishingly, there was a good-looking young man by her side!

Seeing the young man’s somewhat pale face, reminiscent of someone weakened by excessive indulgence, Zhang Qiang’s anger erupted like a volcano: "Such a good catch, taken by this Pretty Boy! Seeing Wei Meizi’s flirty smile, the Pretty Boy must have satisfied her quite well!"

The people from Meizi Entertainment were also shocked. Wei Meizi had always presented herself as the Iceberg Iron Lady, and although she was a stunning beauty, no one dared to truly see her as a woman!

But now, the Iceberg Iron Lady was cuddling up to the young man like a demure young girl. Even without seeing her eyes, one could feel her deep love for the young man!

At Meizi Entertainment’s upper echelon, everyone was familiar with Ling Feng. Seeing Wei Meizi’s posture, they were not surprised anymore.

"Meizi, you are late!" At that moment, Zhang Qiang squeezed through, looked at Wei Meizi, and said with a smile, "But luckily, Cameron’s motorcade was stuck on the road. He will be here in twenty minutes. Let’s go to the private room and wait for him!"

Throughout, Zhang Qiang didn’t even glance at Ling Feng properly. What was there to notice about a Pretty Boy who relied on women? Once Wei Meizi realized how strong I was, she would naturally abandon him!

Zhang Qiang was still very confident in his abilities!
