In Chen Ting's circle, Zhou Yun was a newcomer and no one knew her.
Chen Ting wasn't anyone to her, so she wouldn't specially bring her to get to know everyone.
Zhou Yun had already heard about the legend of this private gathering from Zhou Lan. Many big shots in the fashion industry were regulars of this gathering, not to mention celebrities who wanted to enter the fashion industry.
However, Zhou Yun did not expect that as soon as she entered, she would get a chance to walk on the runway of a popular brand from a new designer she had never met.
To her, this was an exposure that would benefit her image and reputation.
No wonder it was said that many small celebrities would rather spend money to get an invitation to such a private gathering.
However, the people in this industry were not only from the entertainment industry or the fashion industry. Zhou Yun knew a few people in a row. They were all investors, executives of a large company, lawyers, and so on. There were all kinds of people from all walks of life. It was simply a small society. However, the people who appeared here were all elites no matter what industry they came from. There were no mediocre people.
Zhou Yun had a cocktail for herself. When she turned around, she did not notice that someone had appeared behind her. The two of them bumped into each other lightly.
"Sorry!" Zhou Yun hurriedly raised her hand and took a step back.
"I'm fine." The person who bumped into Zhou Yun was a man in his early thirties. He was dressed in a suit and tie, and his hair was neat. He looked very young, but his temperament and aura gave people a sense of maturity.
He was also holding a glass of wine in his hand. The moment his gaze met Zhou Yun's, he smiled.
A smile was often described as charming. Zhou Yun couldn't deny that her heart fluttered for a moment. After the split second of distraction, Zhou Yun regained her rationality and asked, "It didn't spill on you, right?"
"No. Are you all right?" the man asked.
Zhou Yun smiled faintly. "I'm fine."
"You are very beautiful. Can I get to know you?" The man looked at Zhou Yun frankly and said, "My name is Chen Fusi. What about you?"
"Zhou Yun."
"I think I've heard it somewhere before." The man called Chen Fusi smiled slightly. "I have to admit frankly that my heart fluttered a little the first time I saw you."
Zhou Yun was slightly surprised. She did not expect this person to reveal his true feelings so directly.
"Should I say thank you, then?" She was equally unpredictable.
Chen Fusi did not answer. Instead, he made an inviting gesture. "Should we find a quiet place to have a chat?"
Zhou Yun did not move and reminded him, "Mr. Chen, my profession is very special. If the two of us find a quiet place to chat, you might be on the trending searches tomorrow."
"Ah? So you're that Zhou Yun."
Chen Fusi looked enlightened, as if he had finally remembered where he had heard Zhou Yun's name. He was a little surprised, but he did not resist. The smile in his eyes intensified, and there was a sense of being magnanimous and tolerant. This surprised Zhou Yun. This was a feeling that only older people could give. This Mr. Chen looked to be in his early thirties, but why did he have such a calm and tolerant feeling?
"Don't worry. This is a private gathering. No paparazzi will dare to secretly take photos." Chen Fusi looked around and said, "However, I can't guarantee the people around me. They won't take photos, but as long as a woman appears beside me, they will spread some rumors."
Zhou Yun smiled and declined politely. "Then I'd better avoid arousing suspicion."
Surprise appeared on Chen Fusi's face.
Zhou Yun indicated that everything was over and turned to leave.
"Miss Zhou, it seems like I made a mistake."
"Huh?" Zhou Yun did not understand what he was saying.
Chen Fusi said, "I thought you wouldn't be afraid of their judgment and rumors. I apologize if what I said just now made you feel uncomfortable."
Zhou Yun smiled at a loss, like a rabbit that had accidentally entered someone else's house. She shook her head, and there was a mix of innocence and secular naivety in her eyes. "Mr. Chen, don't mind me. I'm just afraid that rumors will spread and it won't be good for both of us."
"Do you have time tomorrow?" Chen Fusi suddenly asked.
"Hm?"
"If you have time tomorrow, I'll bring you around my farm. I've set up a farm in the suburbs. There are no paparazzi or anyone else there. You don't have to worry about rumors anymore," said Chen Fusi.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen. I have work tomorrow. I'm not in Shanghai. I'm going to Hainan to record a show."
The smile on Zhou Yun's face was filled with sincere apology, as if she was really sorry.
Ten minutes later, Zheng Xiaowei came to Zhou Yun's side and asked softly, "Do you know who was the person who talked to you just now?"
"He said his name is Chen Fusi. I don't know anything else." Zhou Yun shook her head. "Why?"
Zheng Xiaowei hesitated for a moment, as if she was a little embarrassed about what she was going to say next.
"It's not that I want to gossip behind someone's back. I'm just reminding you. I also heard this from others. His background and origin are very mysterious. I don't know anything about him, but he's very rich. It's said that the women around him change faster than his clothes. That's fine, because it's not rare to see playboys. I want to remind you that I heard that he's very ruthless to women. Many women around him end up in bad situations. You have to be careful."
Zhou Yun knew that Zheng Xiaowei had misunderstood.
She mistakenly thought that she had a relationship with Chen Fusi.
"Thank you," Zhou Yun said. "I'll be careful."
Actually, even without Zheng Xiaowei's reminder, Zhou Yun already felt repulsed by Chen Fusi.
Chen Fusi had taken the initiative to extinguish her initial feelings toward him.
Zhou Yun did not like Chen Fusi's initiative. He looked polite and gentlemanly, but there was a hint of arrogance in him.
There were only twenty or thirty people in the small gathering. Some of them left while others entered. There was no sense of grandeur and luxury, but it created a real sense of familiarity amidst the toasts.
This atmosphere can easily help participants relax their guard.
Zhou Yun got to know quite a few people in the film and television industry. After exchanging a few words and adding each other on WeChat, it was finally ten o'clock at night.
As more and more people left, Zhou Yun went to bid farewell to Chen Ting and prepared to leave.
"Miss Zhou." Chen Fusi had not left and was waiting for her at the door.
Zhou Yun was stunned for a moment before she smiled. "Mr. Chen, you're not waiting for me, right?"
Chen Fusi said, "I forgot something, so I waited for you here."
"What is it?"
"I don't have your contact information yet," Chen Fusi said to Zhou Yun with a smile on his face.
