She was awarded a prize that was recognized by the upper echelons of society and currently was the talk of the town.
Everyone was paying attention to her.
Some of the guests also talked about her award. They praised Qiao Weimin for being good at raising children, because not only was Qiao Chen pretty, she was talented as well.
Very quickly.
The person Qiao Chen mentioned to He Yujuan, who could match up to Jiang Li, arrived.
A huge red van stopped at the entrance.
Impatient by now, the reporter's eyes lit up when they saw the vehicle.
Somebody asked, ''Doesn't this van belong to Lan Lan?"
''I believe so. I don't think I'm seeing things.''
''The Qiao family managed to invite Lan Lan?"
The reporters were going wild.
They immediately pointed their cameras at the entrance.
The other Class B students heard it as well. Xu Xu couldn't hide her excitement as she asked softly, ''They mentioned Lan Lan. Could it be the same Lan Lan who acted in 'Country Yan'?"
''Are you talking about the actress?"
''Yup.'' Xu Xu asked Qiao Chen, ''Chen Chen, did your family invite Lan Lan for your birthday celebration?"
So what if Qiao Nian's brother was a celebrity? They were talking about Lan Lan, the cinema queen!
Someone got off the huge van.
Wearing a gown with flawless make-up on, her figure was perfect as well. The reporters started to take photos of her.
Who else could it be but Lan Lan?
''It's really Lan Lan. Quickly, take photos!"
The reporters reacted quickly and pointed their cameras at Lan Lan.
Qiao Chen quickly walked up to her and greeted her. ''Sister Lan Lan!"
She contacted Lan Lan after meeting Qiao Nian that day because she was worried that Qiao Nian would steal her thunder today by using Jiang Li.
She knew Lan Lan from a meal. Cheng Feng Corporation invested in the movie, 'Country Yan', which Lan Lan acted in. Since the Qiao Corporation was close to Cheng Feng Corporation, she managed to add Lan Lan's Wenham rather easily.
''Miss Qiao, happy birthday.'' Lan Lan passed her a gift. It was a bag from abroad.
Qiao Chen recognized the bag. It was the same brand as her mom's. It cost at least hundreds of thousands of Yuan.
Her eyes lit up, but she pouted her lips and thanked her politely, ''Thank you, Sister Lan Lan.''
''I should be the one thanking you guys.''
The upper echelon of the society knew that the Cheng Feng Corporation wasn't interested in working with Qiao Corporation anymore.
But Lan Lan wasn't involved in business. Furthermore, she hadn't been in the country because she was participating in a show. She had just returned and didn't know what happened.
She thought she was establishing good connections.
That's why she was so generous.
She even posed for a few photos with Qiao Chen for the reporters.
''Where's the sister who choose the same place as you to celebrate her birthday?'' Lan Lan remembered her message and asked softly.
Qiao Chen glanced in Qiao Nian's direction and acted magnanimous as she explained gently, ''I'm not saying she did it on purpose, but my parents have put in a tons of efforts for my birthday party. I don't want their efforts to go waste....''
She was so gently and kind.
I didn't do it on purpose, it's because someone is trying to sabotage my birthday party!
Lan Lan wasn't convinced. She felt that she was more fake than some of the stars in the show biz. However, she continued smiling to show that she understood her feelings. They continued to speak for a while.
Soon, three cars arrived at the Waterside Loft.
