To Love You Again

Chapter 159 - World of Richest

No matter how much a person can acc.u.mulate wealth, it would be meaningless if one could not use it. It's not because they don't want to use it, but because everything they wanted and needed was already in their hands.

So in order to use the money without having a loss, the wealthiest among the richest would now try to buy reputation and reverence.

But how a person could buy it? There was an event for that.

The exhibits of wealth.

Auction.

IAmFashionista was a foundation event for the richest people to help the poor.

The host for five years, Mr. Cang, the famous designer all over the world known as someone who had hands that turns gold into a dress, would design and thread the dress personally and would put it into an auction. The guests than would battle using their money. The one who won the battle of wealth would be the talk of the year.

The person would not only have a dress but he would also gain fame and reputation among the richest people in the world.

The money that was spent would fall into the materials for the dress, a bit of money for Mr. Cang for his hard work and other designers, and a bit of money for the organizer. The rest of the auctioned money would be donated to other charities such as an orphanage or Non-government organizations.

In short, IAmFashionista in the eyes of the public and the citizen, it was a charity event that collects money through fashion.

For the people in the highest society, this event was for them to showcase their wealth and a way to buy reputation and fame.

It was a win-win situation for both the guests, the organization, and the public.

However, the guests that were invited to IAmFashionista were not normal rich people. They were the richest. So the money that was acc.u.mulated in this event was so big enough to build and support a company.

A lot of charitable organizations were waiting for this event.

But there was another motive that every rich man was aiming for. The reason the people wanted to be invited to these charitable events was because of the regular members of IAmFashionista.

Those regular members were the hegemon in their respective industries and have been maintaining that power for a long time. Those were the people that were hard to approach. And through this event, they could see and talk to these regular members. Not only that, but they could also find business partners, dealers, and expand their connection in this event.

But not everyone would have a chance to do that.

So this once a year event, was a sought after by every rich man.

Master Xiong, the head of the legendary Xiong family and the owner of the Xiong Empire was a regular member. As well as heads of the other legendary family.

The regular member was given a VIP seat in the event. They could also bring one more person for a seat.

Xiong Zhi, the plus one of Old Xiong was wearing a dark blue long gown. Her long hair was in a bun and some of her side hair was curled and was hanging on the side of her face. Her cherry lips were painted red. It emphasizes her milky skin. A dark blue feather mask with small jewels embodied was seating in her lap. She had to wear this once they entered the hotel.

Today's theme of IAmFashionista was a masquerade royalty.

Just from the theme itself, it was really a gathering of royalties.

People might wonder if the mask would cover the identity of a person. No. It wasn't. Because even though the people were wearing masks they could still knew each other because of the seat. Especially the VIP seat.

And also, once the guest walked in the red carpet, there would be no doubt that the media would not be able to know them. It was an event that would be recorded in history after all.

Xiong Zhi was in the car, she was looking at the file that Linfeng gave to her a week ago. She was skimming to it again, the names of the important people that she had to remember. However her mind was not on that, it was the scene one week ago when Linfeng handed it to her...

"Young Miss, here is the list of the major people who would attend the event, the second page, are the other minor guest who has a lower status than yours. The other pages are the basic information of all the guests who will be in IAmFashionista."

Xiong Zhi was amazed that Linfeng managed to get this much info especially in those major figures. Having just basic info out of them would cost a lot of money and time. Especially, those people were a figurehead in their industry for a reason. For sure, they have the highest security on them.

Xiong Zhi skimmed at the paper. It was not basic at all.

"Young Miss, a lot of people would try to get in your side or they will get you on their side. As for now, don't make promises on them. Just be yourself." Linfeng knew that asking Xiong Zhi to be 'just be yourself' was the same as asking of ignoring those people and act cold to those who tried to use her.

Xiong Zhi wanted to smile as she watched Linfeng who seriously listing out the things that she should avoid.

After saying so many things, Linfeng finally noticed that the corner of Xiong Zhi's lips was raising.

"Young miss, even though you find me funny just please remember everything I said. " Linfeng was afraid that Xiong Zhi would not take his advice to heart.

That gathering was full of rich people that mostly have the same status as her. There are also people who were higher than her. Her young miss was still a young girl, she was silent most of the time. What if a young man with a higher status than her bullied her?

That event was full predators who stand above the pyramid. Even though Master Xiong was at her side, Linfeng was still worried about Xiong Zhi. What if a rich psychopath was there and find Xiong Zhi, who was not sociable enough find her offending? That person might sully her reputation on that event even with Master Xiong by her side.

Some people were just crazy and wanting to make an enemy out of a figurehead.

That's why Linfeng prepared so much for Xiong Zhi. He pointed out some people that he thought not good to be acquainted with his young miss.

Xiong Zhi just enjoyed Linfeng's care for her.

"Dont worry. I will put in mind all the things you said. Do you want me to recite it for you?"

When Xiong Zhi recited it for Linfeng, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

'It's good she's listening.'

"Linfeng." Xiong Zhi suddenly called out to him.

"In the future, I will be a VIP guest and you will be my plus one." Xiong Zhi truly meant this.

IHZHI already got a VIP seat this year. However it might change next year. So she needs IHZHI to grow more next year to maintain that seat. Until years to come. Until she would be the one who would go as the representative of IHZHI.

"Alright. I'll wait for it." Linfeng smiled. Of course, he understands what she meant.

But he thought of something. A thought that when that time comes he would not be by her side anymore. He would also be there representing his own company. This thought was his goal but it unexpectedly gave him a bitter feeling.

He then changed the subject and move forward to what he wanted to say next.

"Young miss."

"Mmm?"

"Next time that you wanted to stay overnight in any villa, can you call me first?"

Xiong Zhi was stunned. She would not stay overnight in any villa. Well, maybe in Song Xuantin's in the future.

But she agreed.

"Okay."

Linfeng smiled. "Good."

Xiong Zhi could not help but smile at that memory. She caressed the paper in her hands. His worry and his thoughts for her warmed her and made her confident more to face this day.

She glanced at the names again, there he was. The beast's name. She would meet him again.

She would not be a coward anymore and trembled in fear. If she really can't breathe because of her disgust to him she would just avoid him. For Xiong Zhi, that beast was the final boss. She would handle him slowly. Without too much meeting him.

She then caressed her mask. It was good that there was a mask. At least her hatred for him would be covered under her mask.

"What are you thinking about?" Old Xiong was beside Xiong Zhi. He was wearing a navy blue American suit with a light blue necktie. It was to match his granddaughter's dress. There was also a silver brooch on his chest. If one looks closely, the head of the silver brooch has a small diamond in the shape of the head of a tiger. It was the Xiong family's crest.

Old Xiong looked majestic on his attire. His mask on his lap was a simple black. It was only covering half of his eye. However, if one look closely there were unique tiny scribbling on the mask. The scribbling was made of small dark blue diamonds. If the mask was worn under the light, it would glitter the dark blue diamond lightly from time to time.

Xiong Zhi's dress was also not made of any simple silk but that of the highest quality.

It's the way the Xiong family would show how wealthy they were.

"I thought that someday I will be here not as your plus one." Xiong Zhi shared her thoughts.

Old Xiong looked at his granddaughter.

He was satisfied that his granddaughter managed to look fabulous in these dark blue gown. Everything was prepared by him.

"If that happened make sure you can seat somewhere near me." Old Xiong meant that if Xiong Zhi would be here he would only recognize her if she was a VIP.

Xiong Zhi smiled. Of course, that was her goal.

"Yes, grandfather."

"Master and Young miss, we're here." Butler Zhou Min called out to them. He was beside the driver.

The security team parked first. Then next was their car.

There were many cars in front of them. Those were not ordinary cars.

A line of expensive cars was before them.

The guests need to park in front of the red carpet that was in front of the entrance of the hotel.

There was still a long line for their turn. They need to wait a bit.

Xiong Zhi peeked and saw that they were many reporters at the side of the carpet. The camera flashes from time to time.

Xiong Zhi gulped.

The moment she walks there, was the time that the world would know about Xiong Zhi, the young miss of Xiong that was brought with Master Xiong, the legendary Xiong family.

She had to let them know her existence as the young miss of Xiong. It was different in the banquet. It was higher and wider than that.

There would be a lot of mighty people inside. She agreed with Linfeng. The people there were all predators.

And as soon as she walked there, she might become their prey.

However, that would be the case if she was still the Xiong Zhi of the past. She had changed. She would show them her fangs.

She was a predator too.

"It's our turn now. Chin up, you are a Xiong." Xiong Zhi heard her grandfather's voice to her side.

Time surely passed by quickly. She did not notice it was their turn now.

Butler Zhou Min came out first and opened the door to her side.

The moment it was opened, she could hear the loud noise of the reporter's chattering and the flashes of the camera.

She put a step outside and put her hand in butler Zhou Min.

The moment she was completely outside the car, the noise get louder and the flashes of the camera multiplied. Xiong Zhi who was met with this became a little bit daze.

However, amidst of it, she heard Butler Zhou Min who was smiling to her said these words,

"Welcome to the real world of the richest, Young Miss."
