The atmosphere on the red carpet should have reached its climax when Yun Fei stepped on it, but now it has become even more lively with the appearance of Ji Chaozhou and Cheng Liu. They completely stole the limelight from Yun Fei. The photographers wanted to take clear pictures of the two so badly that they could break their fingers with clicking.

Unfortunately, the couple walked too fast, and they didn’t stop for photos at all.

Because Yun Fei and the French perfumer stayed on the red carpet for too long, and they even stood before the entrance to the venue, the organizers had to call them over.

Yun Fei tried hard to control the expression on her face. She had prepared for this red carpet ceremony for a long time. The golden diamond-studded dress she was wearing was specially designed for her by the brand. She was the first person in the world to wear this dress. Not to mention the dangling diamond earrings on her ears and the gem tassel necklace on her chest, each of which was worth hundreds of thousands.

Her agency has coordinated with the media prior to the show and prepared a press release, which would be released as soon as the red carpet show was over.

And yet, all the media photographers’ attention were now focused on these two people behind her.

If it was just Ji Chaozhou, Yun Fei wouldn’t have any negative emotions— but Cheng Liu was standing right next to him.

At first glance, Yun Fei could tell that the dress Cheng Liu was wearing was not particularly expensive at all; at least it wasn’t as expensive as the hand-made diamond-studded dress she was wearing.

But when Cheng Liu put it on, the dress brought out her laidback aura to maximum extent. She moved casually, and although she didn’t have the professionally-trained catwalk skills of a star, all eyes were nevertheless attracted to her involuntarily.

As Yun Fei walked forward, she could clearly hear the media photographers on both sides shouting.

“It’s President Cheng!”

“Boss Cheng, look here!”

This fervor and excitement were not as simple as wanting to take a photo of a celebrity. There was clear admiration in their eyes: they liked Cheng Liu.

“What kind of exhibition is this that requires people to walk the red carpet?” Cheng Liu whispered to Ji Chaozhou.

Ji Chaozhou lowered his head slightly, listening carefully to her voice. After hearing her words clearly, he replied, “The exhibition is organized by a French brand, and the theme is ‘The Way of Oriental Fragrance’.”

“A foreign country is hosting a Chinese fragrance exhibition?” Cheng Liu raised her eyebrows at Ji Chaozhou, “Why doesn’t Ranshan host one in the future?”

“Alright,” Ji Chaozhou responded seemingly casually.

Only Tang Fanglu, who was following behind them, heard what Ji Chaozhou said about this matter.

… …

After Yun Fei walked out on the red carpet as the grand finale of this show, the discussion among the netizens have already settled down and—unsurprisingly—they all thought that Yun Fei deserved the title ‘Best Dressed’.

Yun Fei’s skirt and bodice were inlaid with white diamonds, while her earrings, necklace, and ring were all rubies. With her big, wavy hair and gorgeous red lips, she was as stunning as ever. She could be said to have insta-killed all the female stars that walked the red carpet before her.

Marketing accounts took advantage of her popularity and reposted Yun Fei’s photos from the red carpet.

[If you want to be on the red carpet, you have to first look at how Yun Fei does it.]

[The first person in the world to try this dress on, only Yun Fei has the star power to do so.]

[I heard that only two domestic perfume companies are participating this time. How is this called ‘The Way of Oriental Fragrance’? It’s really embarrassing.]

[There are two domestic brands that are pretty good. I remember one of them is Ranshan. Ranshan and its Midu won a series of perfume awards after more than two decades, which is a great honor.]

[It’s a pity that the perfumer of Ranshan left us too early.]

[Isn’t the perfumer who created Midu the son of the original perfumer in Ranshan? The son follows in his mother’s footsteps.]

The red carpet photos of celebrities were released one after the other, and netizens were dazzled by them. Fans of various celebrities kept saying that their favorite celebrities were so good-looking and worthy of being seen.

Until the media suddenly began posting pictures frantically, vying as to who could release pictures that showed Cheng Liu first: Cheng Liu, the founder of Shenyin Technology, attended the perfume exhibition accompanied by an unknown, young man.

This piece of news seemed to have legs and spread everywhere at breakneck speed.

Even through the blurry photos, one could see how striking these two people were on the red carpet.

[Fuck it! President Cheng is killing me!]

[Who is that guy next to her? None of the male celebrities who went before them could compare to him.]

[Is there no media outlet with clearer photos?]

[Wait, are they holding hands?]

Just relying on these unclear photos was enough for netizens to give up on the other celebrities and turn their attention to Cheng Liu and Ji Chaozhou.

They were all visual enthusiasts, and these two were a perfect match. Although they didn’t know who Ji Chaozhou was, it didn’t stop people from being fascinated by him.

Netizens pored over the blurry pictures again and again, until other media on the scene uploaded some videos. The clips was not long and the angle was not ideal, but it was enough for the netizens to watch it to the end.

[Yun Fei seemed to have said something.]

[She said that the young man next to Boss Cheng is the genius perfumer from Ranshan.]

[Is this true? He is the creator of Midu?]

[Wait, if I remember correctly, President Cheng and the genius perfumer from Ranshan should be neighbors.]

[That’s right! Didn’t Yun Fei say before that she knew that perfumer? ]

… …

Cheng Liu and Ji Chaozhou finished walking the red carpet and entered the exhibition hall, slowly letting go of each other’s hand.

Ji Chaozhou unhurriedly clenched his hand; her warmth still remained in his palm.

The French perfumer had been waiting inside for them. As soon as he came in, he walked straight towards Ji Chaozhou, holding a glass of champagne, and began to introduce himself.

Cheng Liu picked up a glass of champagne from the tray of a passing waiter and handed it to Ji Chaozhou.

Ji Chaozhou reached out to take it and talked to the French perfumer.

The other party seemed to be very interested in the perfumer who could blend a perfume like Midu, and he was also amazed at his youthful and handsome appearance.

“Brother Chaozhou,” Yun Fei also came over and said by way of greeting. She looked at Cheng Liu, “Why is President Cheng here?”

“I just came to play,” Cheng Liu said casually.

Yun Fei listened to her perfunctory response and felt a slight jealousy in her heart. Cheng Liu was too dazzling. She was just standing there casually, and yet so many people around them couldn’t keep their eyes off her. They were probably racking their brains for an excuse to come over and get to know her.

Yun Fei couldn’t find any way to find fault with Cheng Liu, so she could only ask, “Isn’t President Cheng busy with work?”

“Mm,” Cheng Liu responded with her head lowered, looking down at her phone.

Yun Fei: “…”
