Gu Shiyin looked at Qianshan’s Weibo with disdain.
She never needed to do things herself; she could maintain a high and unblemished posture quietly, unlike the likes of Qianshan, who had to personally get involved in petty fights.
Such a loss of face!
Feeling better, when she received a call from Gu Pinting, her tone softened a bit: "Pingting, what’s up?"
"Aunt, are you attending the socialite cocktail party tonight?"
"Hmm, such parties happen several tis a year. You young folks should enjoy them more."
"Aunt, you’re young too, co on, join us. Besides, this one’s different. It’s specially organized for the return of the Xing family’s eldest daughter. All the socialites in the city will be there. I want to take the opportunity to promote my TV show, get so investnt, endorsents, and such. Isn’t it a great opportunity? Aunt, please co help !"
"Alright then." Gu Shiyin raised an eyebrow, agreeing in a tone that sounded reluctant.
Over there, Gu Pinting cheered and then sighed: "If only we could invite Shen Ying, sigh, but she has never appeared in public, too mysterious! Otherwise, given her current fa and popularity, she would definitely be the highlight of tonight’s event, and our TV show could benefit from the association..."
Gu Shiyin chuckled: "What, you’d like to et her?"
"Of course! Plus, the socialite circle is full of her fans. This morning, everyone was chatting about the party in a group, and soone even shared her fans posting color charts on Weibo to denounce the plagiarist Qianshan!"
"Really?"
"And everyone also complained that the last ti she published her novel’s finale in the hardcover edition, it was out of print even before they could grab one. Now if you want to buy a second-hand copy, it gets sold out instantly on the second-hand market. Shen Ying is just too aweso!"
Gu Shiyin paused, her smile deepening: "Huh, isn’t it just a hardcover edition? How many copies do you want?"
"Huh? Aunt, do you have them? Quick, give one!"
"Didn’t you say your friends wanted them too?"
"But such a precious hardcover edition..."
"I have many. Count how many close friends you have in your circle, and I’ll bring them to the party tonight so you can give them out on the spot."
Gu Pinting never expected her casual ntion to actually co true.
Aunt is truly a boss!
"Aunt, you’re amazing, letting hand out the out-of-print hardcover edition of Shen Ying’s novel at the event? That’s such a big deal!"
"There’s sothing even bigger, would you like it?"
"Aunt, tell !"
"The hardcover editions I have are all signed by Shen Ying."
"Ahhh Aunt, you’re the most amazing aunt in the world, I love you to death!"
Gu Pinting’s tone was filled with unmistakable admiration and excitent.
On the other end of the phone, louder cheers and stomping could be heard.
On this end, Gu Shiyin maintained a deeply amused expression.
As for alternate identities, she had plenty.
Just pulling one out would be enough to astonish those around her, not to ntion Qianshan, so low-level artist or Xi Zuzi, a small-town girl; they were no match for her.
She needed to plan, find an opportunity to reveal an impressive identity in front of Bao Gucheng...

The socialite cocktail party in the imperial capital is a traditional social gathering in the upper circles.
Entering requires a high threshold. If your family doesn’t have assets worth over a billion, it’s hard to get an invitation. Of course, if you have a billionaire friend willing to bring you along, that’s an option too.
It’s called a socialite party, but n also participate, as well as elites from various fields. For instance, soone like Xi Langyue, a popular male idol, though not from a wealthy background, gets invited as an exception due to his high status in the industry.
This is a party for young n and won within the upper circles and elite society!
Everywhere, the atmosphere is teeming with the scent of wealth and opportunity!
