Chapter 1384: Chapter 1383: The Four Beauties of the Capital City

Lin Dong then got off the small RV with Tang Mu and headed towards the main gate of Zijing Shopping Mall.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but ask with a wry smile, "Tang Mu, do you stars need to attend banquets every now and then?"

The last time he was with Tang Mu, they had attended a jewelry banquet in Demon City.

They had even run into their high school classmate, Feng Shanshan, who was now working as an anchor.

Tang Mu covered her mouth and said, "Yeah, Lin Dong, don’t you find it a bit annoying that every time you’re with me, it’s to attend some sort of banquet?"

Lin Dong shook his head, "Annoying? Not really, why would I be annoyed when I get the chance to freeload good food and drinks?"

"It’s just a bit strange."

"How often do you have to attend these banquets?"

"Um... about once a week, averaging five banquets," Tang Mu thought for a moment before answering.

"Good lord..." Lin Dong was stunned. Five banquets a week meant, apart from weekends, it was like attending a banquet every single day?

It only goes to show how great the disparities in the world can be.

Whether it’s top-tier stars, young heirs and heiresses, or influential celebrities, the cost of one banquet is probably enough to build a school, right? The annual expense on banquets could likely fund ten thousand schools.

Yet, many rural or township areas don’t even have a school. Or if they do, they can’t afford to hire teachers.

After they reached the door, they found the security personnel had changed, no longer the same ones as yesterday.

At the moment, the guards stopped Lin Dong and Tang Mu.

"Good day, please present your membership."

The previous evening, Lord Hong, the owner of Zijing Shopping Mall, had given Lin Dong a Purple Gold Diamond Membership Card, which Lin Dong promptly took out.

Upon seeing this, Tang Mu was somewhat surprised.

"Lin Dong, how do you have a Purple Gold Diamond Membership Card for this place?" Tang Mu asked curiously.

"The owner of Zijing Shopping Mall gave it to me last night," Lin Dong admitted truthfully.

"Ah..." Hearing this, Tang Mu was taken aback and then laughingly said, "I heard something about that yesterday."

"Now, all over the upper-class circles in the Capital, they’re talking about something that happened last night at Zijing Shopping Mall. They say there was an extraordinary person who visited, prompting the owner, Lord Hong, to personally welcome them, and even reserved the Sky Garden Restaurant for a birthday celebration. That person wasn’t you, was it?"

Lin Dong nodded.

Seeing this, Tang Mu couldn’t help but say, "Lin Dong, you’re really something."

"Even Xiao Ya sister had to go through a lot of trouble to get one of these Purple Gold Diamond Membership Cards for Zijing Shopping Mall."

"I came this time using her membership card to bring you in. I hadn’t expected that you wouldn’t even need my help and already had your own Purple Gold Diamond Membership Card."

"If I’d known earlier, I wouldn’t have needed to borrow from Xiao Ya sister. I could have just had you bring me in directly."

Hearing this, Lin Dong casually said, "If you want a Purple Gold Diamond Membership Card, I can ask the owner of Zijing Shopping Mall to give you one later."

"I believe he wouldn’t refuse."

"Ah, that would be great." Tang Mu covered her mouth, laughing, "It’s like having the feeling of being kept by you, which is really delightful."

"I’ll be following you for the good eats and fine drinks from now on."

Lin Dong: "..."

After the two entered Zijing Shopping Mall, they made their way to its banquet hall.

Zijing Shopping Mall had a designated area specifically for its banquet hall, which was purposed for hosting banquets.

Although the Sky Garden could also be leased out for banquets, it was, after all, rather small and could only accommodate smaller events, such as the intimate birthday party Chu Yunxiu had hosted last night.

Soon, the two arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall.

Lin Dong had just learned that the banquet being held was a charity auction.

According to Tang Mu, the person hosting this banquet was a woman named Cao Jianjia.

This woman was very famous in the Capital City, one of the four great beauties of the Capital, and came from an extraordinary background, herself being incredibly outstanding.

She was known as the Charity Queen of Capital City and had established many charity foundations.

For instance, there were foundations dedicated to helping impoverished children from the countryside, foundations for assisting cancer patients, and foundations aiding children born with congenital heart diseases...

Besides making donations herself, she also encouraged others to donate. She would use her connections to organize charity auctions.

This was also an event that Tang Mu frequently attended.

She would normally decline other banquets, but this one, she had never declined.

Having heard Tang Mu’s words, Lin Dong found himself curious about Cao Jianjia.

After the two entered the banquet hall, Lin Dong noticed that the interior was not as luxurious as the celebrity banquets he had attended before.

This evening banquet appeared very simple; the buffet was a common one for the general public, and there was no expensive wine or spirits.

There were none of those astronomically priced decorative items, and even the auction stage was a temporarily built, simple structure.

However, judging by the attire and grooming of the guests who had arrived, they were either rich or from business circles. They all wore custom international designer brands and were adorned in costly luxuries.

Many of those who came did so under the pretext of charity in order to network.

Due to Cao Jianjia’s influence, her charity auctions often attracted many from the upper-class circles in the Capital City.

Here, one could meet top tycoons and scions of big families that they wouldn’t usually encounter on regular days.

"I heard that Miss Li Yanran, another one of the Capital City’s four great beauties, will also be attending this charity auction."

"What, the one from the Li Family? She’s been out of sight for quite some time, hasn’t she?"

"Apart from Miss Li Yanran, Wang Yingjie and Jiang Fan – the young masters among the Capital Eight Young Masters, are also expected to come."

"Superstar Tang Mu will be here too."

"Ah, you guys look, isn’t that superstar Tang Mu? She’s already arrived."

"..."

Everyone, who had been speculating about which major family figures might show up to the auction, suddenly saw Tang Mu entering from the door.

In an instant, everyone’s gaze shifted towards her.

"Tang Mu is too beautiful, even in my opinion, she surpasses the four great beauties of the Capital!"

"Well... to me, she seems to be on the same level as the Capital’s four great beauties."

"It’s just that to every reader, their Hamlet is different; everyone has a unique opinion. I think Tang Mu is more beautiful, but others may think she’s as beautiful as the four great beauties of the Capital. And some may believe that the four great beauties are all the more beautiful. Such things are really in the eye of the beholder."

"Exactly, they’re all celestial beauties from heaven."

"It seems that all the Capital’s four great beauties, as well as the superstar Tang Mu, are single, aren’t they?"

"Who knows who will end up with them in the future..."

"Heh, beauties of their caliber and with such high social status, at least need someone from the Capital’s top big families to have a chance at winning their affection!"

"Eh, look, why is there a man next to Tang Mu? She seems very close to him. What’s their relationship?"

"My God, Tang Mu couldn’t possibly have a boyfriend, could she?"

"Who is that man? Could he be her boyfriend?"

"..."

At that moment, all eyes were on Lin Dong.
