Chapter 1646: Chapter 665: Fervor

Regarding Miss Liu, the online reviews often show a polarized trend.

But whether from fans or critics, no one can deny her extremely special status in the Huaxia Entertainment Industry.

At 14, Bai Xiuzhu still had a bit of baby fat, but without needing any acting skills, she naturally presented the charm of a noble young lady, so much so that many were heartbroken, asking how the male lead could be blind enough to choose Leng Qingqiu.

At 16, Wang Yuyan stood under the peach tree, eyes glistening like spring water with a gentle smile, turning Mr. Jin’s "Immortal Sister" into reality.

At 19, the white-clad Little Dragon Girl was as pure as snow, cold as the moon, and among the many "Little Dragon Girls" since, none can surpass her otherworldly aura.

...The only issue is that when this Immortal Sister debuted at her peak, Zhou Wang had just been born, and did not truly experience the era when she dominated the entertainment industry in terms of beauty.

By the time Zhou Wang grew up, it was the era of short videos bombarding viewers, with internet celebrities everywhere; under various filters, those clips that once amazed the masses seemed not so unique anymore.

Upon suddenly hearing from Miss Di that Sister Liu was also coming, Zhou Wang was more curious but, since he could never witness her peak beauty himself, he felt quite conflicted.

Still, no matter what, when Miss Liu stood up and shook his hand through Miss Di’s introduction, out of a kind of admiration of "growing up hearing your legend," Zhou Wang showed a relatively sincere smile.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou."

Miss Liu smiled faintly, paused, and added, "I heard Sister Bingbing mention you."

At this moment, with the help of the bright lights in the living room, Zhou Wang was also observing Miss Liu’s face, with a bit of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Considering Miss Liu’s age, Zhou Wang actually didn’t have too many expectations, but perhaps because the bar was set so low, the impact at this moment was quite real.

Compared to those old photos from her teenage years, she just had a bit more mature roundness, but her features hadn’t changed much, only upon close examination could one vaguely see some traces of time.

Moreover, there’s still that issue, that seeing stars live compared to on-camera generally makes a more intense impact and needs to be magnified at least 1.5 times.

However, though Miss Liu in front of him was indeed beautiful, that mature charm never regained the youthful splendor of 17, the kind of radiant glamor that could freeze time was ultimately fixed in the legend.

What a pity. Before, there was no chance; now he finally has the status and level, yet the Immortal Sister is no longer young.

This left Zhou Wang with a sense of regret, like "you are born when I am not yet born, but when I am born, you are already old."

So Zhou Wang quickly calmed the strange color in his eyes and asked with a smile: "Oh? What did Miss Li say about me?"

"Sister Bingbing said that a Xiao President Zhou has emerged in Beidou, very domineering."

Miss Liu directly and humorously repeated Miss Li’s words from that time, using an unreservedly curious look to examine Zhou Wang.

Zhou Wang was startled, then broke into laughter.

It wasn’t so much that Miss Li would comment on him like this... Considering their limited but deep encounters, it’s natural for Miss Li to have such an impression of Zhou Wang privately. What really amused him was that Miss Liu would directly state it this plainly, without any delicate embellishment.

Moreover, she did not hide her curiosity and probing.

Zhou Wang remembered when he was in Paris spending time with Miss Yang, she also commented on some peers in the circle, mentioning this Miss Liu. Due to limited interactions, Miss Yang didn’t say much but did mention that "she’s rather straightforward."

At that time, Zhou Wang found it quite puzzling because the term "straightforward" would apply to any group of people but would be least applicable to the entertainment industry.

A straightforward person, even if they become a star, won’t go far.

But now, after simply chatting with Miss Liu, Zhou Wang could initially understand why Miss Yang described her this way.

Perhaps it’s because she has had things going smoothly from the start, or perhaps because of her unique background, she never walked the tough paths that ordinary people had to endure, which also resulted in her being more genuine on many occasions and less skilled at hiding her emotions.

After exchanging pleasantries with Miss Liu, Zhou Wang, as the host, proceeded to welcome the other present Huaxia celebrities one by one.

Once removing the lens of being high above and the admiration of the masses, these celebrities, considered top-tier in Huaxia, didn’t feel particularly special to Zhou Wang. They even behaved more humbly and courteously than regular people.

Zhao Silu and Miss Song’s beauty had its unique charm, and figures like Wang Jiale and Wang Yibo shared equal attractiveness with Zhou Wang. Unlike Miss Liu, they appeared noticeably more reserved in front of Zhou Wang, as if subtly expressing eagerness.

But Zhou Wang couldn’t quite grasp where their "eagerness" stemmed from, just like how their collective visit was unexpected for him.

Nevertheless, noticing the group’s unease, after a few casual conversations, Zhou Wang smiled and said to Miss Di:

"Xiao Di, I’ll trouble you to take care of them for me. If they are bored, there are various entertainment areas on the basement level. You can also take them there. If they want peace, they can go to the second floor... Technically, the second floor is not open to guests today, but since you are all my fellow countrymen, I’ll make an exception."
