The male archer from the game was at the gathering as well.

As opposed to Jiu’s suit, he placed more effort in his outfit. He wore an English style swallow-tailed coat tailored to perfection. It helped making him appear firm and upright.

The male archer wasn’t anyone foreign. He was Yi Sihuo, the ‘celebrity’ son of Guo Rong, the woman who had made mocking remarks when she found out He Honghua was also attending the gathering.

When he found out Movie Queen An was also attending the gathering, he was sure he had found his chance.

Since they were from the same industry, he managed to get hold of news about Movie Queen An. She had recently agreed to participate in a huge film directed by an internationally renowned director. The director was currently in China seeking out an asian youngster with a mysterious vibe to star in his film.

If he managed to receive Movie Queen An’s recommendation, he could potentially enter the huge film.

When that happened, he wouldn’t just be a third class actor.

Those who weren’t in the industry probably weren’t aware that only actors who had participated in big overseas films were able to secure a continuous stream of resource and support within the country. That wasn’t all, he would also be known as an actor with recognized abilities.

The gathering today was considered a chance for Yi Sihuo to climb through the ranks.

As for his acting skills, did they really matter?

They lived in an era where only looks mattered. As long as his skills were alright, there wouldn’t be an issue.

There were colleagues who had advised him to hone his skills, but that was completely hilarious. He had to squeeze time out just to attend his classes so that the paparazzi wouldn’t blame acting for affecting his studies. In order to build a role model image, he didn’t have time to learn acting.

Besides, he could always have a substitute in some scenes.

As long as he had connections, he wasn’t the least bit worried about his popularity and the chance in front of him was the best opportunity.

In terms of looks, he was confident there wasn’t anyone who could beat him, but Yi Sihuo was worried that his attention would be stripped away.

The crowd who had been speaking to him all paused, their attention steering towards the youngster who had overshadowed him in the game earlier today.

Yi Sihuo was still in the WeChat group. Hence, he knew Spade Z was the player who had replaced the burden.

But the youngster didn’t know he was the archer.

Yi Sihuo would never expose personal information, regardless of whether it was in the game or in reality. The extent of the information he gave out was his school, the No.1 Middle School.

He was a celebrity after all.

But today was the first time he had such an experience.

He could disregard being overshadowed in the game, but this nouveau riche came from the outskirts. Who gave him the rights to overshadow him here?

Guo Rong wasn’t welcoming as well.

It wasn’t all that weird since the ladies who came out to socialize often all knew about the close ties between Guo Rong and Su Mei. Guo Rong had never fancied He Honghua and had once remarked about how she was a fat and unsophisticated woman who was persisting for nothing. Couldn’t she tell how inadequate she was compared to Su Mei? If she had known any better, she would just have stepped aside and given up her position.

She pouted when she saw Bo Jiu coming with He Honghua.

However, such people would never put their emotions on their sleeves because that was the symbol of elegance they believed in.

Guo Rong saw herself higher than the others and had never saw He Honghua as an equal because of her lowly upbringing. With her status, it wasn’t possible for her to join their ranks.

She didn’t have to say much about her son either because he wasn’t just boy-crazy, he had even ruthlessly went against his father.

Guo Rong had heard Su Mei talk about him before.

Other than being a professional esports player, there wasn’t anything else good about him.

Calling him an esports player was just a nicer way of calling it, honestly speaking, wasn’t he just someone who gamed? Those lowly people were just grabbing onto any opportunity to use against others.

Guo Rong retracted her gaze. She held onto the glass and smiled, refusing to give such a person another glance.

“Come, Sihuo, you should follow Auntie Yang Huan more often, get her to give you some support. I remember you mentioning your ties with Movie Queen An, right?”

Guo Rong was just trying to make her son look better.

Yi Sihuo had indeed met Movie Queen An before, but he was just in the audience while she was the goddess of the movie industry who went on stage to collect her award.

That didn’t stop him from using it to his advantage though. “We met before overseas.”

“Oh?” Yang Huan was the organizer of the entire gathering. She arched a brow and chuckled. “Sihuo has been doing well.”

Yi Sihuo pretended to be humble. “That wasn’t much, it was just a coincidental meeting at an award show. I was simply learning from a senior from the industry.”

“You aren’t doing too bad, there were many enquires about you when people saw our photo together. You will definitely become famous in the future.” Yang Huan smiled. “Don’t forget about your Auntie Yang Huan when the time comes.”

Yi Sihuo replied confidently, “I definitely won’t.”

However, this conversation hadn’t managed to garner the intention he had desired as the other madams near him weren’t talking about him, but instead discussing the nouveau riche who didn’t even deserve to lift his shoes.

“He should be the one. Is he called Spade Z? My daughter really loves him… And my daughter is someone who buries her nose in books. She doesn’t have many interests, but this time, she was determined to surpass the school hunk in order to be worthy as a fan. What exactly is she thinking?”

“My son was even more interesting, he recently cut off all his hair and said he was going to join the army. He had even said it was humiliating how he couldn’t even defeat a pretty boy. Now that he is willing to join the army, me and his dad are finally at ease. In the past, he always felt as though he was the best in the world and acted arrogantly, not looking up to anyone. But I got to say, he is indeed impressive for being able to defeat my son.”

“It is good to have such a kid.”

“He looks rather sensible and seems completely unlike how Su Mei had described him…”

Gossip ran wild throughout the gathering.

Yi Sihuo wanted to be the center of their gossip and his mother had the same thoughts.

Guo Rong couldn’t just accept what was happening. In the past, whenever her son accompanied her to an event, she would always end up being the star everyone envied.

Today’s gathering wasn’t going as she planned.

Guo Rong narrowed her eyes…

As a guest, it was basic courtesy to greet the host.

After they entered, Bo Jiu brought He Honghua over to Yang Huan.
