Chapter 649 - 639: Overtaking on the Red Carpet Bend

Chapter 649: Chapter 639: Overtaking on the Red Carpet Bend

This red carpet event is indeed much more grand than the welcome party hosted by Aibosi two days ago. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a globally watched event.

Correspondingly, it’s also harder to borrow dresses for this red carpet than last time.

After all, everyone wants to wow the world on the red carpet.

But before Tong Yue and Xiaoxiao could worry about it, Jiang Lingxi had already solved this most troublesome issue.

Since she volunteered to walk the red carpet for the old man, borrowing a dress from this old gentleman isn’t too much to ask, right?

Anyway, she just mentioned it, and the other party nodded and agreed directly.

For old man Casuo, this was a simple matter.

The dust cover was quickly lifted by Lu Zhengzheng, revealing a heavy-duty gown in a teal color adorned with patterns made of crystal fragments.

"This dress..." Xiaoxiao, who was familiar with high fashion from major brands, couldn’t help but speak out after seeing the full view of the dress, "seems like it’s last year’s collection."

Although a collection piece is precious, wearing last year’s model now... she wondered if it might be a bit outdated?

Jiang Lingxi nodded, "When I chose this one, Mr. Casuo also mentioned it to me, but I like it. Okay, time to start makeup."

Whether the dress is from last year or the year before, nothing can outweigh her liking for it.

Xiaoxiao didn’t say anything more, opened the makeup box she brought along, and started contemplating the best makeup, accessories, and hairstyle to complement the dress.

Carl had already prepared for waiting two to three hours, after all, he wasn’t unaware of how much time women can spend on makeup and clothes.

If it was before, he would have casually handed this job to someone in the studio and gone out to have fun.

But this time, he really didn’t dare to leave.

Seeing the messages in the chat group tagging him, asking why he was missing on such an important day, he simply swiped with his finger.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Just about to play a game, the room door behind him suddenly opened, and voices followed. He turned around instinctively.

"Mr. Carl?"

Lu Zhengzheng waved her hand in front of him.

Snapping back to reality, Carl covered up with a light cough, "Are we leaving?"

"Yeah, everything’s ready, we can set off."

"Alright then, let’s go."

He said as he took out the car keys and walked outside.

Lu Zhengzheng and Fang Yao watched his somewhat awkward steps, exchanged glances, and couldn’t help but chuckle.

Turns out, Xixi’s charm is quite something, even old Mr. Casuo’s grandson was stunned.

They could already imagine how lively the scene would be when they arrived.

A sports car was easily overtaken by the car beside it on the way to the event venue.

Kevina couldn’t help but glance at the rearview mirror, feeling like he recognized that car he just overtook.

His girlfriend in the passenger seat noticed the slowing speed, "What’s wrong?"

"Nothing." Although he said nothing, he thought for a moment, grabbed his phone, and sent a message to Carl’s profile, "What are you up to?"

After almost a minute, he received a reply.

"Driving."

"On your way to the International Fashion Event?"

"Yeah."

Kevina immediately took a picture of the rearview mirror.

"Are you the one driving a sports car like a tortoise? I remember you having a car of this color."

Carl looked at the picture: "..."

"No!"

Even if it was him, he wouldn’t admit it!

His girlfriend saw Kevina suddenly burst into laughter, "What’s so funny?"

"Haha, that kid Carl, no idea who’s in his car. Turned a perfectly good sports car into a century-old classic, and he won’t even admit it. I have to see who’s in his car!"

Even if the speed is slow, they still reached the destination.

The event venue had a straightforward name: International Fashion Square.

Located near the Fashion Palace.

Two rows of tall white columns, spaced nearly ten meters apart, stretched over a hundred meters, with a clean, bright red carpet laid in between.

Next to each column were two security guards, eyes sharp and ears keen, keeping all crises beyond the red carpet.

Various media outlets were densely stationed along the columns, with professional photography equipment already set up.

Whenever a car stopped at the red carpet, the cameras nearby swiftly moved over with incredible speed.

The entertainment channel host, holding a microphone, rushed towards the scene with the camera crew, running fast while keeping her voice steady and clear, "Let’s see which star has arrived this time."

As the car door was about to be opened by the staff waiting outside, Jiang Lingxi took Shen Yunqing’s hand and transferred the Buddha Beads on her wrist to his hand, "Wait for me inside, keep an eye on Tong Yue and the others."

"Hmm."

Carl stared straight ahead.

He shouldn’t be in the car, he should be under it!

Soon, the car door opened.

A polite "please" was heard from outside.

Jiang Lingxi naturally let go of Shen Yunqing’s hand and turned to get out of the car.

Flashlights instantly converged in a sea of light.

After waving politely to the throng of converging cameras, Jiang Lingxi stepped onto the red carpet, striding forward.

The host quietly retracted the microphone she was planning to pass over, "... It’s Jiang Lingxi. Recently, Jiang Lingxi’s popularity has been rising rapidly. I heard she’s just started in the fashion world and is already quite impressive!"

Official live broadcast room of the International Fashion Event.

"Haha, the hostess must have planned to go up and interview her, but didn’t expect Jiang Lingxi to just walk right past."

"At least she let us take a high-definition photo when getting off the car."

"Other celebrities are reluctant to leave the red carpet, moving step by step, but why is Jiang Lingxi walking so fast?"

"Maybe it’s because it’s cold, after all, it’s still morning in the International Fashion Town."

"I want to say, her dress looks much thicker than those of the previous girlfriends!"

"I find that Jiang Lingxi really suits this kind of elegant, heavy-duty dress."

"But, if I’m not mistaken, isn’t this dress she’s wearing last year’s couture?"

"Last year? Didn’t she get this year’s new model? That’s odd; she’s been quite popular lately!"

"But in the fashion world, Jiang Lingxi is still considered a newcomer. It’s normal for brands not to lend her new designs."

"Who cares if it’s this year’s or last year’s. As long as it looks good."

"Yeah, who cares if it’s couture or not. Personally, I think her dress is far better than the flashy, revealing ones before, no arguments here!"

...

Walking too fast led to one consequence.

At the moment, she wasn’t the only one on the hundred-meter red carpet; every few meters ahead stood a glamorous star or supermodel.

After inadvertently passing by one, Jiang Lingxi was reminded by the staff responsible for managing red carpet order.

"Miss Jiang, please slow down a bit. You’re walking too fast!"

In the live broadcast room.

"Did anyone hear what the staff said to Jiang Lingxi?"

"It seemed like they told her to walk slower."

"Haha, I guess this is the first time that staff had to remind a guest to slow down, usually they ask them to hurry up to avoid blockages."

"Jiang Lingxi even overtook, I literally watched her pass a guest posing for a photo."

"Trending topic prediction, #JiangLingxiRedCarpetOvertake#"

...

The live broadcast chat quickly filled with ’hahaha’!
