After having a meal, Wang Zixuan took a one-hour nap to refresh himself, and then started picking out clothes.
In the end, he chose a custom-made white suit, a white shirt underneath, and a black tie.
The well-fitted tailoring perfectly showcased Wang Zixuan's tall and slender figure, and combined with his strikingly handsome features, he was truly a sight to behold, capable of causing national disaster and social chaos.
Around four o'clock, Chen Zuming called, inviting Wang Zixuan to have a meal together before heading to the Yintai Center for the Bazaar Charity Night.
There would be food at the charity dinner, but few people would eat much there. Generally, they would have a meal beforehand and then have a late-night snack after the dinner.
This was the plight of attending such events.
But how many people wanted to attend!
At least Wang Zixuan, who had yet to transition from a nobody to a playboy, wanted to attend.
Wang Zixuan drove a Lamborghini Reventon, with four bodyguards following in a Mercedes-Benz.
At the entrance of the residential area, he saw Chen Zuming's Nissan GTR. The Nissan GTR, worth over a million, instantly paled in comparison to Wang Zixuan's Lamborghini Reventon, which was worth over ten million.
The two found a restaurant nearby, parked their cars, and Chen Zuming, upon seeing Wang Zixuan get out of the car, couldn't help but exclaim, "You look amazing! You must walk the red carpet with me to outshine all the other handsome guys."
Chen Zuming could only be described as having a delicate appearance, which was not particularly outstanding in the entertainment industry where handsome men and beautiful women were common. He preferred a casual style, wearing blue jeans and a black casual suit over a white T-shirt.
Seeing that Chen Zuming was dressed as usual, Wang Zixuan was somewhat surprised and said with a hint of pride, "I was born with it."
Chen Zuming laughed, "It's a good thing Young Master Xuan doesn't enter the entertainment industry, or we would all be out of a job."
"Who knows?"
The two chatted and laughed, entering the restaurant with two bodyguards, while the other two stayed behind to watch the cars.
After a simple meal, they drove to the Yintai Center's Park Hyatt Hotel.
Although it was just a charity night, many stars would attend, so the hotel was already crowded with reporters and enthusiastic fans.
As soon as Chen Zuming and Wang Zixuan's sports cars turned towards the hotel, they attracted the attention of many reporters and fans.
A reporter who was obsessed with luxury cars immediately shouted, "Lamborghini Reventon, limited to 20 units globally, priced over ten million. The body is designed to mimic the F-22 fighter jet, known as the 'land fighter.' I can say with certainty that there is only one in the country."
The surrounding reporters, upon learning the impressive background of this eye-catching sports car, snapped photos without hesitation.
Many fans also took out their phones to capture the moment, as it was a rare sight to see the only one of its kind in the country.
Seeing the continuous flash of cameras, Wang Zixuan found himself enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention.
Following Chen Zuming, they parked the car in the hotel's parking lot and were then escorted by the staff to an Audi A8L provided by the sponsor, which drove them to the red carpet entrance.
The red carpet event started at five, and some people arrived early. However, Chen Zuming knew that the red carpet event would last for about two hours, and there would be plenty of time for networking afterward. He preferred the networking after the dinner, so he didn't arrive early.
As the car approached the entrance, Chen Zuming saw Liu Jiang, the president of Bazaar Group, and Su Mang, the editor-in-chief of Bazaar, welcoming guests at the red carpet and asked, "How should I introduce you?"
Wang Zixuan smiled, "Just introduce me by my name."
He enjoyed being the center of attention but didn't want to use the name of Hengshi Group, especially since he had been fired by Wang Liangming.
In fact, Hengshi Group was always low-key, and it was the subsidiaries that were more well-known to the public. Wang Liangming never appeared on any rich lists, so even mentioning Hengshi Group would only be recognized by a few.
As they spoke, the car had already stopped.
The staff outside opened the car doors, and Wang Zixuan and Chen Zuming got out, one on each side.
"Wow, so handsome."
"Which company's new talent?"
"Click"
"Click"
As soon as Wang Zixuan appeared at the edge of the red carpet, the reporters, who were used to seeing handsome men in the entertainment industry, let out a chorus of exclamations.
Many reporters instinctively snapped photos, finding that Wang Zixuan standing there was perfect and didn't need to pose.
Chen Zuming had already arranged for Bazaar Group to send an invitation to Wang Zixuan.
"Welcome, Young Master Wang and Zuming."
Liu Jiang, the president of Bazaar Group, naturally knew the strength of Hengshi Group and came to greet them as they got out of the car.
Su Mang, the editor-in-chief of Bazaar, also smiled and came forward, saying, "Welcome, Zuming and Young Master Wang. I'll take you inside."
Wang Zixuan smiled and shook hands with Liu Jiang, nodding to Su Mang, "Thank you."
Chen Zuming leaned in to whisper a few words to the emcee.
After Chen Zuming finished speaking, Su Mang extended her hand to invite Wang Zixuan and Chen Zuming to walk the red carpet.
The emcee introduced, "Now walking the red carpet is famous artist Chen Zuming and his good friend Wang Zixuan."
Su Mang asked Wang Zixuan and Chen Zuming to stop in front of an Audi S5 on the red carpet, and another wave of blinding flashes followed.
The flashes almost turned the reporter area into a sea of silver.
Previously, some Olympic champions, stars, and entrepreneurs had walked the red carpet, but none had caused such a frenzy among the reporters.
Su Mang was confident that the most shining star on the red carpet tonight was the prince before her. If the reporters knew about the Wang family, they would be even more excited.
With his noble demeanor, handsome face, and elegant, charming smile, if there were princes in this world, this one was certainly it.
Even the nearly forty-year-old Su Mang was somewhat infatuated.
Wang Zixuan and Chen Zuming paused for a few seconds in front of the Audi S5, and Wang Zixuan smiled at Chen Zuming, "Let's go."
"Sure."
Chen Zuming knew that standing next to Wang Zixuan would make him a mere green leaf, but seeing the sea of silver from the reporters, he realized he might not even be a green leaf.
Chen Zuming unconsciously fell half a step behind Wang Zixuan, as if he were a follower.
"Stop for a moment."
"Stop for a moment."
Although many photos had already been taken, when Wang Zixuan walked directly in front of them, the reporters couldn't help but shout, hoping to get a front-facing photo.
"Is Chen Zuming that famous?"
"I don't really remember him!"
The fans stood far away, and with the reporters blocking their view, they could only catch glimpses of the red carpet through the gaps.
Hearing the reporters' frenzied shouts and the continuous shutter clicks, they exchanged puzzled looks.
Wang Zixuan stopped twice on the red carpet, "killing" countless rolls of film.
At the signing area, he took a pen and left a signature with a flourish.
A female reporter from Bazaar, looking infatuated, approached with a microphone and asked, "Is this your first time attending the Bazaar Charity Night?"
Su Mang, a bit speechless, glanced at her colleague, thinking she should have asked Chen Zuming first.
Wang Zixuan smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's my first time. I hope to spread some positive energy."
The reporter, a bit puzzled, asked, "Positive energy?"
Wang Zixuan smiled, "Everything in the world has positive and negative aspects. Selfishness, doubt, negativity, and depression are all negative energies. Conversely, positivity, optimism, and benevolence are positive energies. I hope everyone can spread positive energy to make our world full of love and beauty."
Mentioning love and beauty, Wang Zixuan felt a bit nauseous.
"Very well said."
The reporter, infatuated, praised him, almost writing "Let's fall in love" on her face.
Su Mang's eyes also lit up, surprised that this prince was not only handsome but also seemed to have a good education.
She couldn't help but feel infatuated too.
Seeing the two women looking at him with such intense gazes, Wang Zixuan felt secretly pleased.
In a few years, this term would be overused.
But now, it could make him look cool and impressive.
"Cough, cough."
Chen Zuming also nodded in agreement, but due to the repulsion between the same sex, he wasn't charmed by Wang Zixuan. Seeing Su Mang and the female reporter infatuated, he cleared his throat to remind them.
Su Mang, coming to her senses, blushed and glared at the female reporter, ignoring her own infatuation.
The female reporter, coming to her senses, saw Wang Zixuan smiling at her and felt her heart race, stammering, "W-When did you debut?"
Debut?
Wang Zixuan immediately reacted, shaking his head, "I'm not in the entertainment industry."
The female reporter was stunned.
Not being in the entertainment industry meant she might never see this prince again.
Seeing that the reporter seemed to have no more questions, Wang Zixuan smiled and nodded, "Thank you."
Su Mang, seeing her colleague in a daze, knew she wouldn't ask any more questions, so she extended her hand, "This way, please."
