Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Who is Gu Zhi Looking at?

Gu Zhi’s sudden appearance on the KSL red carpet instantly sparked curiosity and astonishment among netizens.

After watching the leaked live video, they were even more shocked.

"Oh my god!! Didn’t the entire internet say she couldn’t make it? How did she suddenly show up and even become KSL’s spokesperson?"

"Gu Zhi truly is a natural clothes hanger; she looks good in anything. This outfit really exudes charisma. As a die-hard face-con, I’m totally hooked!"

"Who says domestic female stars can’t outshine those abroad? Gu Zhi can, she really can /cry, all the female stars combined couldn’t match her aura!"

"Wow, is it still time to catch the live broadcast? I can’t believe I missed such a red carpet event!"

"/cry As a true fan, I’m the worst off, believing my sister wouldn’t participate, I missed the live broadcast, completely missing out /cry."

The online discussion was instantly ablaze.

The almost-closed live stream was nearly overwhelmed by the flood of newly arriving viewers.

Inside the event, Gu Yiyi and her group finished walking the red carpet only to learn that Gu Zhi was also there.

And she had even become the spokesperson for KSL apparel!?

Online, the brief popularity she and her fourth brother gained from walking the red carpet was instantly overshadowed by Gu Zhi.

Recently, it seems she has a hot search physique, even drinking water lands her on trending topics, she almost monopolized all the hype.

And today, what she wore seemed to be this fall’s new limited edition from KSL. Unlike the other female stars’ uniform dress gowns, Gu Zhi’s jumpsuit instantly captured everyone’s attention.

She even stayed on the red carpet the longest of all female stars!

Gu Yiyi’s face turned even more unsightly the moment she saw Gu Zhi enter.

But the venue was filled with industry insiders and media, she couldn’t do anything.

Gu Zhi, however, didn’t spare her a glance, not even acknowledging her. Once inside, she was introduced by the host to the owner of KSL.

Qin Ji and Chairman Yang were also there, and Gu Zhi was handed juice by Qin Ji as soon as she arrived.

"Zhi Zhi, this is Chairman Yang, and this is President Xu of KSL. The invitation was given by President Xu."

Gu Zhi nodded and greeted them, the latter returning the gesture politely, a flash of amazement passing through his eyes as he looked at Gu Zhi.

"Miss Gu is even more beautiful than on TV. It seems we made the right choice in selecting her as KSL’s spokesperson. I hope Miss Gu can lead KSL to grow together."

"You’re too kind, President Xu." Gu Zhi raised her glass to him, her movements composed and poised.

The other party didn’t mind her using juice instead of alcohol and responded graciously.

After chatting a bit, the topic shifted to work and investment.

"Chairman Yang’s stock purchase last week was really a good call, nobody expected it to suddenly become a dark horse."

Chairman Yang gave a humble smile, "All the stock information and analysis came from Qin Ji, I just followed suit, didn’t expect to really profit. Given time, this young man will surely be a tycoon in the financial world..."

"Hearing Chairman Yang, I really want to poach him."

But Qin Ji remained silent, carefully selecting a dessert from the table and offering it to Gu Zhi, saying, "I heard you didn’t eat anything while walking the red carpet, have some to fill your stomach."

Gu Zhi glanced at it, somewhat helplessly, but she was indeed hungry. She took it and took a bite, eating slowly.

The banquet area was bustling with people, figures from various circles gathered together, the clinking of glasses dazzling the eyes.

There were also many media present, diligently capturing scenes inside, right in time to catch Gu Zhi eating.

The media quickly uploaded the video online, attracting attention swiftly.

"Ahhhh, Gu Zhi is so handsome, she’s killing me."

"Wow, the way this beauty eats is so elegant. Both A-grade and beautiful, she’s an epitome."

"Wuwuwu, husband."

"Huh, who’s Gu Zhi looking at? It seems like she was raising her glass."

Amidst the crowd, as Gu Zhi turned around, she spotted a tall, cool figure not far away.

Qi Hanyu stood in the center of the crowd, surrounded by distinguished figures from various circles. _{f(r)eew(e)bnovel.(c)o(m)}

The stunning emperor of the entertainment world, the future heir of Qi Group, attracting many who wanted to cozy up, some even dared not approach.

Despite wearing just a simple black suit, he stood out extraordinarily, his demeanor detached in conversations and responses with others.

His gaze inadvertently met Gu Zhi’s from not far away, he paused for a moment, then quickly raised his glass to her, a faint smile in his eyes.

Gu Zhi responded lightly, quickly shifting her gaze away.

Those around him paused, following Qi Hanyu’s gaze but seeing nothing, curiously asking, "What’s Emperor Qi looking at?"

Qi Hanyu retracted his gaze, his expression calm, "Nothing."

"President Qi, your sudden participation in the KSL banquet this time, does it signify upcoming cooperation between Qi Group and Shiyu Film and Television?"

"..."

Elsewhere, after finishing a dessert to fill her stomach, Gu Zhi intended to find Tang Jin to discuss a new movie, but Jiang Xiangwan and Han Liheng came straight over.

Both were well-dressed today, Han Liheng in an impeccable black suit, looking rather dapper, Jiang Xiangwan in a light purple feather short dress, both sexy and charming.

She approached Gu Zhi, excitedly linking her arm, "Ahhh Zhi Zhi, you’re so handsome, slaughtering everyone tonight. I thought you really wouldn’t come."

"For heaven’s sake, even when wearing a dress, female stars don’t mind their image." Han Liheng glanced at Jiang Xiangwan disdainfully, then looked at Gu Zhi in amazement, "Gu Zhi, you’re awesome, quietly clinching KSL’s clothing endorsement. Do you know how many people are eyeing this?"

Many present were after KSL’s endorsement, including Gu Yiyi.

Gu Zhi suddenly remembered that in the original script, this endorsement went to Gu Yiyi because by then she’d exploded in popularity, with various offers coming her way.

But now, the endorsement was in her hands.

Gu Zhi smiled faintly, about to say something, when from not far, Gu Yiyi approached.

Dragging her long dress, she walked quite awkwardly, every step drawing all eyes around.

She looked at Gu Zhi, masking the disgust in her eyes, reached out her hand, and said calmly, "Zhi Zhi, congratulations, didn’t expect you’d move so quickly to secure the KSL endorsement. And keeping it so hidden, even causing misunderstandings among netizens."

Gu Zhi glanced at her, not responding or reaching out her hand.

Jiang Xiangwan stood beside, instinctively shielding Gu Zhi behind her, for some reason feeling a physiological discomfort when seeing Gu Yiyi now.

Gu Yiyi felt slightly awkward but didn’t mind, withdrew her hand discreetly, and smiled, "Really envy that you secured the KSL endorsement, many female stars here wanted it but didn’t succeed, including me. Seems President Xu of KSL favors you more."

Gu Zhi narrowed her eyes slightly, giving her a cold stare, still without speaking.

And this scene was perfectly captured by the media nearby and uploaded online.
