Evening, ten minutes before the party began.
New City Entertainment had booked the entire hotel, a move so grand that it elicited sighs of admiration. It was the peak time for arriving at the party, with the entrance to the lobby packed with people, all artists under New City Entertainment's banner.
Actress Xiao and Lizi arrived late, with Lizi driving. She dropped Actress Xiao off at the entrance and then went to find a parking spot.
Having alighted from the car, Actress Xiao intended to wait for Lizi before entering together, but she noticed from the corner of her eye that Lizi was walking farther away, so she begrudgingly stepped forward and made her way inside.
Upon approaching the grassy area in front of the lobby, sudden silence fell around her, with everyone's gaze focusing intently on the graceful figure at the center.
