Although Su Chen's status was comparable to that of Diana Dillas, because he wore a mask, nobody paid him any attention.
Perhaps others felt that since he covered his face with a mask, he clearly did not want to show his face at such an event.
If he didn't show his face, what use was a high-status identity?
Surely no one could take a photo with soone wearing a mask, right?
Thus, describing Su Chen's situation as deserted was not an exaggeration.
He originally wanted to see his CEO wife, but at this ti, Lin Xi was quite busy, trying her best to build relationships with those international tycoons.
So, he didn't go to bother her.
His gaze swept across the room and landed on a female judge called Luther.
Seed like she was in a corner, arguing about sothing with Zhang Biao.
Earlier, Zhang Biao had already taken his people and left the venue; it was unclear why he ca back.
"Sorry, according to our agreent, we would pay your remuneration only if we received the nomination award. Since we didn't win, naturally there's no paynt," Zhang Biao said unapologetically.
"But you can't do this, I've paid a heavy price!" Luther was sowhat unwilling.
She had indeed paid a heavy price.
Because she had even sold herself to Zhang Biao.
She had slept with him and helped him smooth out connections.
And now, Zhang Biao was not giving her a single penny.
Actually, one couldn't bla Luther.
She had tried her best.
She got several judges to give high scores to Yiyang Group and even managed to secure a promise from one judge with significant influence.
In fact, the final score for Yiyang Group's work was quite high.
Unfortunately, it was too similar to the piece that appeared last, so it was directly disqualified from winning.
"Fifty million, I don't want a hundred million, just give fifty million!" Luther lowered her demand for the paynt.
But now, it seed she had no confidence at all.
After all, she hadn't been able to help Yiyang Group win an award.
"Fifty million? Even if it was fifty cents, I wouldn't give it to you!" Zhang Biao didn't care about this woman. Her looks weren't that great to begin with; if it weren't for the fact that she was a judge, he wouldn't bother with her at all.
"Don't you dare leave!" Seeing Zhang Biao about to leave, Luther grew anxious.
"I'd advise you not to stop ; otherwise, I'll expose your bribery, and let's see if you can still mingle in the judging circles!"
Zhang Biao's words were quite threatening, effectively silencing Luther.
Zhang Biao snorted coldly and swaggered off.
Luther was furious, this ti truly suffering a loss on both fronts.
Apart from the initial one million advance she received, she didn't get a single penny after that.
Turning around, she was about to leave.
A man wearing a mask stood before her.
Seeing the sudden appearance of Su Chen, Luther's face stiffened slightly.
"Well, Mrs. Luther, you rember our agreent, right? I gave Yiyang Group a score of 8," Su Chen taunted.
Luther's expression was extrely unpleasant.
If she really had received a billion from Zhang Biao, fulfilling the promise would naturally not be a problem.
But now.
She had only received one million.
Irresponsible behaviour?
She didn't dare to treat Su Chen the way Zhang Biao had treated her.
After all, this was soone who could serve as an Honorary Judge; even if his bribery was exposed, no one would dare to rebuke him.
Besides, she didn't even know his na.
But if she had to keep her promise?
She couldn't possibly cough up ten million to let her best friend go on a date with Su Chen, could she?
Speaking of best friends, she knew that woman very well—money talks, and without it, even the best friendship is pointless.
Su Chen was not looking for Luther to keep his promise, of course.
He was just feeling a bit bored and decided to tease Luther a bit.
After all, though the Belarusian supermodel was not bad, if Su Chen really had that idea, he could pick a few good ones from his pile of little notes.
Luther truly didn't know what to do.
Finally, as if making a decision, Luther gritted her teeth and said, "How about I accompany you instead..."
In truth, Luther's financial situation was quite average. She could co up with ten million, but she was too reluctant.
But faced with a mysterious tycoon like Su Chen, if she didn't keep the promise, she would probably end up in a terrible fate.
So, in the end, she decided...
Unfortunately, when she looked up, Su Chen had already disappeared.
Damon, the primary heir to a French financial dynasty, was also one of the sponsors of this Fashion Week.
And an Honorary Judge to boot.
These three identities were enough to make him the most dazzling man present.
Furthermore, with his tall, handso stature, he was a typical French heartthrob.
Everywhere he went, he was surrounded by beautiful won.
And his elegant deanor added to his gentlemanly charm.
To those won, such a man was like a walking gold mine.
Getting involved with him, tsk tsk, would an at least ten years less of struggling.
No, they wouldn't have to struggle for the rest of their lives.
Of course, compared to Diana, he was still a notch below.
After all, Diana's wealth was among the richest in the whole of France.
Previously, Damon had been surrounded by a flock of female supermodels wanting photos and such, and in order to exhibit his gentlemanly charm, he did not refuse.
But when he saw the woman he valued most about to leave the scene, he could no longer remain calm and approached the outstanding woman from Huaxia to extend his invitation.
Lin Xi was a bit surprised to see the handso man who had suddenly appeared.
She was aware of his identity; those female supermodels would've given anything to throw themselves at him, yet he had gently turned them all away.
But now, he was asking her to dinner.
"President, quickly accept, it's Damon!" Tang Qian beside her was excited, her eyes sparkling with little stars.
To her, a man like Damon was simply god-like.
It's just a pity she knew, as a little secretary, being able to take a photo with Damon was already the luckiest thing.
Anything more was beyond her dreams.
However, as the designer of the Luo Shen Riverside, combined with her own exceptional conditions, it was reasonable for Damon to notice her.
Logically speaking, Lin Xi should accept Damon's invitation, which could be used as a hype opportunity, possibly boosting Yina's popularity exponentially in an instant.
But emotionally speaking, she was resistant.
Because she was a married woman.
If Damon had been so seventy or eighty-year-old geezer, she might not mind.
But Damon was only about thirty, handso and wealthy, with a never-ending stream of scandals.
If she really agreed to have dinner with Damon.
What if...
It was just a what if, but if that guy found out, given that guy's petty nature, he would most likely blow his top.
Yes, the petty guy in Lin Xi's heart was none other than Su Chen.
This guy, seemingly unaffected by anything, but his belongings, no one else could easily touch.
