Chapter 565
C565 – Master Lee Wangyang
“Yes…”
Ann Chuxia scratched her head upon realizing, “I’ve been so relaxed living here that I completely forgot…”
Su Ming was at a loss for words, but relieved that everything was okay.
“By the way, I have something to tell you.”
“This morning, my agent called me. I have to attend an event today. Would you like to join me?”
Ann Chuxia suddenly remembered.
“No.”
Su Qiu was the first to decline. “I really dislike attending events. They’re chaotic and just so bothersome…”
“Same here.”
Zhang Qianqian expressed her agreement.
“To be honest, I don’t want to go either, but I don’t have much of a choice.”
Ann Chuxia looked troubled. Being under a talent agency sometimes meant you couldn’t call all the shots.
“So…”
Su Qiu and Zhang Qianqian exchanged glances, and all three girls’ eyes converged on Su Ming in silent agreement.
“Huh? Why are you all staring at me?”
Su Ming blinked, sensing danger.
They say three women make a drama.
Why did it feel like there was a trap lying in wait for him?
“Brother, you’ve said before that Chuxia is a big star. It’s not safe for her to go out alone.”
“Yeah, yeah, Brother Ming. Chuxia is our friend now. What if something happens to her?”
Su Qiu and Zhang Qianqian chimed in together.
“Stop, stop, stop!”
Su Ming quickly gestured with his hands. “Alright, alright, you win. I’ll go with you. But what kind of event is it? Just don’t tell me it’s a red carpet event, because I’m definitely out.”
“It’s not.”
Ann Chuxia shook her head. “It’s a sculpture exhibition by Lee Wangyang. You’ve heard of Lee Wangyang, haven’t you?”
“Do you mean the president of the Sculptors’ Association?”
Su Ming raised an eyebrow.
“Yes, that’s him.”
Ann Chuxia confirmed, though her eyes betrayed a hint of reluctance.
It seemed as though President Lee was somewhat disagreeable.
“Hold on, why would a small sculpture exhibition require the presence of an A-list star like you?”
Su Ming asked, puzzled.
“A small sculpture exhibition?”
Before Ann Chuxia could utter a word, Su Qiu’s eyes widened in excitement. “Come on, Brother Ming, that’s Lee Wangyang, an international master of sculpture. I might not follow his work closely, but did you catch that news story last year? He carved a piece called All-Encompassing Revival, no bigger than the palm of your hand, and auctioned it off for over ten million.”
”Really?” Su Ming responded with a casual smile. In the past, he would have been clueless about the world of sculpture.
But that was before he acquired new skills last night.
Now, Su Ming was among the elite in the carving world.
To be frank, he didn’t hold much regard for someone like Lee Wangyang, whose reputation exceeded his talent.
“That’s part of it. Plus, Lee Wangyang is an old friend of our company’s boss, so my hands are tied,” Ann Chuxia sighed.
”Okay, no problem. I’ll accompany you. When does it start?” Su Ming inquired.
”Around 10 a.m.,” she replied.
”Great,” Su Ming nodded in agreement. Having made a promise, he saw no reason for second thoughts.
After finishing breakfast, they returned to the house to relax for a bit. Knowing they would be heading out later, Liu Dashan made a special trip to deliver a new outfit to Ann Chuxia.
Liu Dashan had claimed to be quite composed before his arrival, but upon reaching the place, he was utterly astounded.
This was Eastsea, after all.
One had to be incredibly influential to own such a vast expanse of land in the heart of the city, and his admiration for Su Ming grew even more profound.
Time was ticking away, and Su Ming headed straight to the garage to fetch the car. It wasn’t wise to board the vehicle at the front door, not when the streets were bustling with people. He might never make it out.
Setting the destination on his phone, Su Ming drove off toward the venue. As he rounded the corner, the streetscape transformed dramatically.
This area was part of the Second Loop, right in the center of Eastsea City. The main thoroughfare was lined with banners and festooned doorways.
“Enthusiastic celebration for the opening of Master Li’s sculpture exhibition!”
“XXX Group celebrates Master Li’s sculpture exhibition!”
“XXX Bank rejoices in Master Li’s sculpture exhibition!”
……
The streets were not only adorned with various banners but also teeming with media personnel.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we are honored to have the President of the Imperial Court Sculpting Association, Honorary President of the Asia Sculpting Association, member of the World Sculpting Association, two-time Golden Award recipient, and recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award in Sculpture, Mr. Lee Wangyang, hosting his sculpture exhibition in Eastsea today!”
“According to our station’s reporters, not only will various master sculptors be in attendance, but also the renowned A-list actress, Ms. Ann Chuxia, will grace the event with her presence!”
The entire street was swarming with journalists.
The central roadway had been entirely shut down, prohibiting any passage.
It was a jubilant ocean of activity, teeming with excitement.
“Master Li certainly has a knack for things, organizing an exhibition that’s drawn such a crowd.”
Su Ming chuckled.
“It’s inevitable, given his status as a master.”
Ann Chuxia furrowed her delicate brows, a hint of impatience stirring within her.
An exhibition that bore no relevance to her profession, yet she was expected to make an appearance.
She couldn’t shake the feeling of being reduced to a showpiece, a mere object of others’ attention.
Devoid of any personal value.
“Excuse me, sir, this road is closed.”
Su Ming had stopped his car at the entrance of the barricaded road when a traffic officer approached and gave a salute.
“Officer, take a look at who’s with me.”
Su Ming said with a grin.
“Oh?”
Upon recognizing Ann Chuxia, the officer’s eyes brightened, and he quickly said, “Oh, it’s Ann Chuxia! Please wait, I’ll let you through right away.”
After speaking, the officer communicated briefly with his colleagues and relayed a message over his radio before removing the roadblock.
Su Ming then continued driving towards their destination.
The deeper they went, the livelier it became.
The crowd grew denser by the minute.
Approaching the entrance of the exhibition hall was overwhelming; a seemingly endless queue of people snaked its way forward, a veritable mountain of humanity pressing in from all sides.
“Wow, what kind of car is that?”
“Is that the Hennessy Venom GT?”
“Incredible!”
Su Ming’s car, with its thunderous engine and striking design, captivated the onlookers, leaving them in awe.
“Who’s driving this car?”
“Whoever it is, they must be no ordinary friend of Master Li.”
“You can say that again.”
The crowd buzzed with conversation.
After parking, Su Ming stepped out of the car.
“Wow! This guy is so handsome. I want to have his babies!”
“Please! Can’t your family afford a mirror? Take a good look at yourself; you might actually end up having monkeys with him.”
“Hmph! Don’t even think about competing with me. This guy is definitely mine!”
