Soon, the call connected, and Zhao Dongsheng politely asked, “Mr. Assistant, when should my sister and I come over?”

Robert had an important business event today, and they could just go over and sign their names; everything had been pre-arranged, so he didn’t expect any surprises.

Unexpectedly, the assistant on the other end of the phone said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Zhao, things have changed. Robert has important matters to attend to today, even that business event has been postponed, and he can’t sign for you. Let’s discuss this later.”

Zhao Dongsheng was quite surprised: “How could this be? Didn’t we agree?”

“Things have changed.”

The assistant, having received his 10,000 usd, was still very patient and lowered his voice, saying, “Yesterday, Robert suddenly received instructions from the company that he needed to go sign for a bigshot’s sister today. This matter is more important than anything else and must be handled first.”

Zhao Dongsheng was startled. What kind of bigshot was this? To be able to make Robert cancel that important commercial performance and personally go to someone’s door to sign for them.

One must know that this was Hollywood’s most handsome male star, usually a high and mighty existence.

He had spent a full 10,000 usd just to get a signature, and it still hadn’t happened, yet that person was having signatures delivered to their door. The disparity was truly too great.

“Mr. Assistant, when would be a good time for us to go? Tomorrow?”

“That’s hard to say. You know, tomorrow is the Xiaojinren Awards Ceremony, and after that, there are many business events, so it might not be convenient.”

“Then what should we do? Please help us arrange it.”

Zhao Dongsheng had already sent out 10,000 usd, and he neither wanted to waste the money nor disappoint Zhao Dongna.

“How about this: Mr. Robert and I are leaving immediately for the Purple Violet Hotel. You can come along.

Once there, wait and see. If there’s a suitable opportunity, I’ll discuss it with Robert, tell him you’re my friends, and have him sign your names.”

The assistant truly had no other choice; after all, he had taken their money and finally came up with this method.

“Alright then, we’ll go now.”

Zhao Dongsheng finished speaking and hung up the phone.

Zhao Dongna had only half-understood what was being said. Seeing him hang up, she asked, “What’s wrong, brother? Did something happen?”

“Something did happen…”

Zhao Dongsheng recounted what the assistant had said, finally concluding, “I really

don’t know who that bigshot is, to be able to get Robert to come to his sister’s door for a signature. This is truly terrifying.”

“Oh my goodness, there are actually people like that.”

Zhao Dongna was also incredibly shocked. One must know that with Robert’s status, even if he gave Face, it was already good enough for him to give you a signature. This was the first time she had heard of him actively going to someone’s door to sign.

She secretly thought to herself, she really didn’t know who that woman was, to have such an amazing older brother. It was truly enviable.

The two of them said no more, quickly tidied up, and left, heading together to the Purple Violet Hotel.

When they arrived outside the hotel, they were completely stunned by the sight before them. The place was already packed with people, and the entrance was completely cordoned off by the hotel’s security.

It turned out the hotel manager had already received orders from the Fulin Family that everything today was to prioritize serving the bigshot. Guests already staying at the hotel could enter and exit with their room cards, but outside personnel would not be admitted.

At this moment, over a dozen security guards completely guarded the entrance, asking every incoming outsider one question: “Do you know Young Miss Ouyang Jing?”

If the person didn’t know Ouyang Jing, they were absolutely not allowed to enter. If they answered that they knew her and were related to Ouyang Jing, then they were permitted to enter.

“Brother, look how many big stars there are!”

Just as the two of them had settled their emotions, they witnessed another unbelievable scene.

They saw those big stars, whom they usually only saw on television, lining up one after another at the entrance, then entering one by one.

A hint of doubt arose in both their hearts simultaneously: “What exactly is going on? Why are there so many stars coming to the hotel? Are they all here to sign for the bigshot’s sister?

If that’s really the case, that bigshot is truly incredible, aren’t they?”

Zhao Dongsheng took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement: “Alright, let’s go in and see.”

Zhao Dongna said, “Brother, do you think we’ll be lucky enough to meet that bigshot if we wait a bit?”

At this moment, she was already filled with curiosity and admiration for that person, even harboring a tiny fantasy: if the bigshot wasn’t married, would he take a liking to her?

Although her looks were only average, every woman has a Cinderella dream in her heart, and perhaps the Prince would like her.

“I want to meet him too, but a bigshot like that isn’t someone you can just meet whenever you want. That depends on our luck.”

As Zhao Dongsheng spoke, the two of them arrived together at the hotel entrance, lining up to wait for entry.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

They watched the people in front of them, one by one, go up for questioning. Some were allowed in after being questioned, while others were directly turned away from the hotel.

However, the rules for management here were very strict. There was a long distance between the person being questioned and those waiting in line behind, so they couldn’t hear what the other party was saying at all.

After a while, it was finally their turn. They walked to the hotel entrance, and the security guard asked, “Do you know Young Miss Ouyang Jing?”

“Uh…”

Zhao Dongna never expected the security guard to ask such a question. She said in surprise, “I have a Huaxia classmate named Ouyang Jing. I don’t know if it’s the same person you’re talking about. What does this have to do with entering the hotel?”

“Alright, sir and Young Miss, you may enter.”

Hearing that she was Ouyang Jing’s classmate, the two security guards no longer offered any resistance and let them pass directly.

Although they had entered, the Zhao Family siblings were still puzzled, not understanding what Ouyang Jing had to do with entering the hotel.

The two of them didn’t go straight in but turned back to look at the people behind them.

Everyone who entered had to be asked the same question: Do you know Ouyang Jing? Those who answered yes were allowed in, while those who answered no were directly turned away from the hotel.

“Oh my goodness, what kind of rule is this?”

Zhao Dongna said, completely bewildered, “Brother, the person Robert came to sign for, it couldn’t be Ouyang Jing, could it?”

Saying this, before Zhao Dongsheng could answer, she shook her head herself.

“That’s impossible! That pair of siblings are just poor people who couldn’t even survive in Huaxia, so how could they have such a high status in Angel City?”

Deep down, she was unwilling to accept that Ouyang Jing would be stronger than herself, and she had never imagined that one day, she would have to rely on her relationship with the other party to enter.

Zhao Dongsheng also felt the same. He had met Ye Bufan yesterday, and he was clearly a poor person; his entire outfit couldn’t even compare to one of his own pockets. How could he be that bigshot?

“Let’s go. We’ll know once we get up there.”

The two of them, following the assistant’s instructions, went directly to the top floor of the Purple Violet Hotel.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, the two of them were stunned by the sight before them. There was a long line of people stretching along the entire hotel corridor, and all these people in line were famous Hollywood stars.

With so many people gathered together, calling it a dazzling array of stars would be no exaggeration. If they hadn’t known some of the circumstances beforehand, they would have truly thought the Xiaojinren Awards Ceremony had moved here.
