Living Only For Myself: Make Those Who Hate Me Regret It

Chapter 399 - 398: "You’re Really Quite Domineering.

Hearing this, Shen Chen pointed at the door. He leaned in closer, as if afraid she couldn’t hear him, and said, "It’s loud as hell out there. How am I supposed to go out and make a call?"

Ah...

Listening to the deafening music from the dance floor outside, Xu Su fell silent.

’He does have a point...’

’But, aren’t there restrooms?’

Xu Su understood. This was just Young Master Shen being unwilling to make a special trip to the restroom for a phone call.

"Zhao Yuansi, the guy your friend likes, will be here within half an hour." Shen Chen interrupted her thoughts, reminding her, "You can tell your friends to come over now."

Xu Su’s eyes lit up. "Okay, let me borrow your car. I’ll go pick them up."

Luckily, she hadn’t been drinking. She picked up the keys to Shen Chen’s G-Wagen from the table and had just stood up when Shen Chen pulled her back down into her seat.

"Why do you need to go pick them up yourself? Just sit here and behave. I’ll have someone go."

"But your people don’t know my friends,"

Xu Su was about to say more, but Shen Chen cut her off. "Give me one of their phone numbers. All you have to do is wait for them to show up."

*Tsk...*

Xu Su eyed him. "You really are quite the tyrant."

"I suppose," Shen Chen said, a smile in his eyes. He picked up his glass and clinked it against hers. "Just drink obediently and don’t even think about driving."

His Adam’s apple bobbed as he downed the entire glass of wine.

Xu Su wasn’t one to dither, so she decisively drained her glass as well.

She took out her phone, sent a message to Qian Jia, and then sent Qian Jia’s number to Shen Chen. "Pick them up at the entrance to the Hanlin Garden residential complex."

Shen Chen tapped his phone screen a few times with his fingertip, then looked up and asked, "Hanlin Garden... You’re living there after school starts?"

"No, I’m living in the school dorms after school starts," Xu Su said.

Shen Chen gave a noncommittal nod, a smile playing on his lips as he changed the subject. "Let’s drink. It’s no fun for just the two of us to drink like this. Come on, I’ll take you to play a game."

Just then, the ’Ice Queen’ cocktails that Jiang Peng had someone order arrived.

Xu Su felt the craving for more alcohol stirring within her. She followed Shen Chen and joined a card game that was already in progress.

Zhao Yuansi arrived quickly, getting there in just over twenty minutes. He was brought in by his agent, a woman who seemed very familiar with Jiang Peng, Hou Yiming, and the others. Upon entering, she skillfully greeted everyone.

After seeing Shen Chen, she quickly pulled Zhao Yuansi over. "Young Master Shen, I’ve brought the person you asked for. This is Yuansi."

With that, she nudged Zhao Yuansi’s arm. "Hurry and greet him. This is Young Master Shen."

Xu Su, sitting next to Shen Chen, was already slightly drunk. She looked at Zhao Yuansi. He was wearing a loose short-sleeved shirt and black-gray jeans, exuding a youthful energy. Though he was a singer, his features were no less handsome than a professional actor’s.

Because Qian Jia had recommended him so enthusiastically, Xu Su knew that Zhao Yuansi had also directed two of his own films, both of which had received good reviews. In the entertainment industry, he was considered a hot new talent, highly sought after and admired.

His agent must have coached him on the way over, because Zhao Yuansi’s attitude was humble and respectful, completely lacking the fiery temper and paparazzi-bashing demeanor described in the entertainment news.

The first thing he did was toast Shen Chen. Shen Chen, giving him face, raised his own glass and clinked it against his.

After toasting Shen Chen, Zhao Yuansi went around and toasted everyone else present. Once he’d made the rounds and his agent saw that the atmosphere was harmonious, she said a few more polite words with a smile before taking her leave with peace of mind.

"Have a seat first." Xu Su pointed to the low stool opposite them and said to Zhao Yuansi with a smile, "I have a friend who’s a huge fan of yours. Her biggest wish right now is to meet you. Just wait a bit, she’ll be here soon."

Not long after Zhao Yuansi sat down, the door to the private room was pushed open from the outside, and Qian Jia and Huang Feng were led in by the person Shen Chen had sent.

It was their first time in this kind of setting, and the two young women were clearly a little uncomfortable. Their eyes swept around the private room, and it was only when they spotted Xu Su that their expressions brightened. Their awkwardness vanished as they quickly walked over.

Xu Su had already risen to her feet. She pulled Qian Jia over and pointed at Zhao Yuansi, who had also stood up across from them. "Jiajia, look who this is!"

Qian Jia followed the direction of her finger and, for a moment, simply froze.

When she came to her senses, she immediately started squealing, so excited it looked like she might faint at any moment.

Having been famous for years, Zhao Yuansi knew exactly how to handle his female fans.

But this fan, Qian Jia, was different. Although her clothes were very ordinary, she knew people in this circle—and could even get Young Master Shen to summon him just for a meeting...

On the way here, his agent had repeatedly drilled into him that, aside from the hired hostesses, he couldn’t afford to offend anyone in this room. Offending any single one of them had the power to make his career an impossible road to walk.

With this in mind, Zhao Yuansi smiled politely at Qian Jia and took the initiative to start a conversation with her.

As an eighteen-year-old girl facing her idol, Qian Jia was completely overwhelmed, not even daring to ask for a hug. Her face was flushed red as she spoke to Zhao Yuansi in a tiny, quiet voice.

Shen Chen, sitting off to the side, only now completely believed Xu Su’s words.

’So it really was her friend who’s the fan...’

Qian Jia was deep in an enthusiastic conversation with her idol, leaving Huang Feng by herself with no one to talk to. Xu Su pulled her over to sit beside her and included her in the drinking game.

Xu Su personally poured Huang Feng a glass of the ’Ice Queen’ and recommended it with a smile, "Try this drink, but don’t have too much at once. The alcohol content is pretty high."

Huang Feng took a careful sip of her drink, trying to compose herself after the shock of seeing Zhao Yuansi.

She watched Qian Jia chatting enthusiastically with the male celebrity she’d only ever seen in entertainment news, her gaze still a little dazed. "Susu, you actually managed to get Zhao Yuansi for her."

This was Zhao Yuansi, the superstar idol of the new generation!

Not some newcomer actress like Fei Qiao, who had just entered the industry and whose only role was a second female lead.

Huang Feng only knew that Susu’s boyfriend’s circle was full of well-connected people, but she never imagined they could actually summon a major celebrity—someone ordinary people could only admire on TV—for a meeting just like that.

Before Xu Su could speak, Shen Chen, who was beside them, overheard. He smiled at Huang Feng and said, "A friend of Xu Su is a friend of mine. If there’s a male celebrity you like, you can tell me. Even if he’s not in Beijing right now, I can have someone arrange it and find an opportunity to introduce you."

"..." Xu Su looked at the circle of young masters around them, each flanked by several enchanting young women who were gently and attentively keeping them company.

’Shen Chen was planning to arrange for male celebrities to ’keep both of her best friends company’ too...’

Huang Feng didn’t understand his implication. Thinking he was simply offering to help her meet a celebrity, she quickly waved her hands. "Thank you for the kind offer, but I don’t have a favorite star. I’ve only listened to a few of Zhao Yuansi’s songs with Jiajia."

Speaking of which, she was sort of a casual fan of Fei Qiao. At the thought of Fei Qiao, Huang Feng’s gaze naturally drifted in Jiang Peng’s direction.
