"I saw that you came together with Charles. Are you friends with him?"

"I guess you could put it that way, but he's also my boss. He's an investor of the movie that I'm currently acting in. He brought me here today to meet people," Tang Feng replied with a smile, and wondered if they could move the conversation outside the restroom.

"Oh, I've heard of Charles before, but I've never met him personally. It seems like the rumors about him are false, as he appears like a rather good boss. Meeting with people is a good thing. You can learn many useful things just from talking with others. All right, Tang Feng, I might not be good at Chinese, but I will remember your name." Robert laughed. "It seems like we've been chatting here in the restroom for quite a while now."

Tang Feng nodded. "If you don't mind, we can go grab some cocktails outside."

"That sounds like a great idea. Hahaha." Robert and Tang Feng laughed out loud. They both found it quite hilarious that they were having such a serious conversation in the restroom.

While their physical appearances were radically different, both men were about the same age on the inside. They left the bathroom and grabbed a few pastries and two glasses of cocktails. Just as they were about to find a quiet place and have a long chat together, a scuffle broke out in a corner of the party; a man and a woman seemed to be arguing about something.

Robert wasn't the least bit surprised. "It's normal for fights to break out at parties. You get used to it."

"Wait, I'm sorry Robert. I seem to know that woman." Just as he was about to turn away, Tang Feng recognized the woman wearing the black suede dress. After apologizing to Robert, he quickly walked over to the two people still arguing with each other.

It was a huge opportunity being able to talk with the chief advisor of D Media Corporation, but Tang Feng had something more important to do at the moment.

"What a strange man." Robert chuckled to himself. He leaned against a nearby tree and gazed after Tang Feng's back with admiration. It was normal for small-time celebrities and people who wanted to enter the entertainment industry to come and talk to him during gatherings, but he had been the one to strike up a conversation with a stranger this time. He'd thought that Tang Feng was a distinguished figure in the industry and was surprised to know that the actor had just entered Hollywood after talking with him.

"There aren't enough warmhearted young people around these days."

Many people had gathered to see the fight, but none had stepped forward to put a stop to it.

The man and woman arguing with each other were both young. From appearances, they were either celebrities or models. The woman in question was someone Tang Feng had met just a few days ago: Lilith, Gino's girlfriend.

"You fucking psychopath! Slut!" The man yelled at Lilith and grabbed her wrist, his other hand aiming for a slap. If the argument had simply remained an argument, none of the bystanders would have stepped in to help. Upon seeing that it was escalating into a physical fight, a few stepped forward. But someone else had beaten them to the punch.

Tang Feng ran over and grabbed the man's wrist, pushing Lilith aside. "That's enough. Don't hit her!"

Faced with an intruder, the man raised his chin and glared. "Who are you? You want a fight? Do you think you're saving a damsel in distress or something? Why don't you look at yourself first, you yellow monkey!"
