The charity gala, said to be contributing to philanthropy, is actually an unspoken rule in the business world.

A group of wealthy people, having too much money to spend, need to continue making money while also branding themselves as philanthropists.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with such human nature, except that some cry charity but funnel the money into their own pockets.

The Guo Meimei case once exposed such scandals; who knows how many more there are?

Many celebrities set up charitable funds in their own names. Li Sisi is no exception. However, from the moment she established her fund, every financial aspect has been completely transparent and open to the media, and she did not involve herself in the direction of the funds beyond raising them.

This is why she has always been highly praised in public opinion.

Perhaps some are jealous of her, calling her pretentious, or envious, attacking her from behind. However, Li Sisi has never cared or rebutted anything. She only wants to see a result, and tonight, she hopes to achieve a very good outcome here.

The venue of the gala saw the elite from Capital City gathering one after another.

The extravagantly glittering lights shimmered over the more than 800-square-meter ballroom. Fashionably dressed ladies, heiresses, dapper successful people, young scions.

Everything fully indicates that this is the setting that is meant for the so-called upper-class society.

Such gatherings of socialites are also a customary avenue for local economic development, after all, most attendees are businessmen, probing for business opportunities during conversations. By the end of tonight, contracts worth millions, or even tens of millions, might be signed.

As one of the organizers of this charity gala, Li Sisi arrived promptly at the event.

As expected, as soon as she arrived, Li Sisi was approached by various young scions and second-generation wealthy individuals.

Who wouldn't want a chance to win her favor? Whether looking for a girlfriend or a wife, who wouldn't want someone beautiful, someone who can bring them prestige?

A celebrity, a young and highly popular female celebrity like Li Sisi, has always been a favorite among these wealthy second-generation young gentlemen.

Before, when she was far away in XG, they had no chance, but now that she's in Capital City, these young men would spare no effort to win her heart.

In such settings, Li Sisi was already accustomed to these experiences and handled herself with ease.

There were also many other celebrities at the event, but once Li Sisi appeared, the aura around them dimmed.

The social exchanges were very harmonious, with everyone greeting each other, exchanging business cards, or introducing friends to new acquaintances.

"Miss Sisi, haven't seen you for a while, you've become even more beautiful."

"Oh, hello, Mr. Long."

Looking around, Li Sisi still couldn't spot Ye Xiaofan in the crowd. This kind of setting made her feel tired not long after arriving. If that fellow were here, just standing next to him until the final part ended would make the gala much less exhausting.

However, with no sight of Ye Xiaofan, Long Tianjue quickly came to Li Sisi's side.

Seeing Long Tianjue approach, some young men had to leave, but there were still a few who seemed unwilling to give up, continuing to stand by Li Sisi.

The Long Family was not someone they wanted to provoke. If Long Tianjue were merely an influential young lord without power, they wouldn't fear him. But he was known for being an infamous libertine in their circle, prone to retaliating fiercely if offended. Besides a few young men with deep family backgrounds, others genuinely did not want to associate with him.

"Your concert was incredibly successful, the media reported, and fans were deeply moved."

"Oh, Mr. Long didn't come to support it in person? Oh dear..." Li Sisi knew he was getting close and gave him an awkward moment right off the bat.

"Uh, well, apologies, I was too occupied that night to make time. I apologize, I apologize, I'll punish myself with a drink to express my regret to Miss Sisi..."

Long Tianjue was also slick, managing to deftly avoid the awkward situation with a few words.

"Ah, I hear Miss Sisi plans to fly back to XG tonight."

"Yes."

"Why not stay a few more days? You've been here for a while but haven't let me properly host you as a local."

"Hehe, next time, next time if there's a chance. We'll see." Li Sisi replied softly.

"Next time, then? Ah, after this farewell, who knows when we will meet again? I'm afraid when Miss Sisi leaves this time, she'll take even my heart with her."

"Mr. Long, you're joking."

"I'm quite serious. Taking this opportunity, I won't hesitate to say I've admired Miss Sisi for a long time. Would Miss Sisi be willing to give me a chance..."

"Ahem, Mr. Long, our Sisi is an artist, and certain undesirable elements in her surroundings must be avoided. I thank you for your kind offer on behalf of Sisi."

"Uh... this... hehe, indeed, indeed."

Indeed, with Feng Feifei around, it was impossible to deepen any discussion with Li Sisi. Fortunately, he had foresight.

Soon, two manager-level figures found Feng Feifei, and after introductions, they began to engage in conversation.

Feng Feifei was, after all, a typical business woman, and the label of a workaholic wasn't just randomly bestowed on her.

The moment she saw a business opportunity, she plunged right into it.

Meanwhile, Long Tianjue once again seized the opportunity to chat with Li Sisi.

Yet, Li Sisi continued looking around. For some reason, hadn't that guy promised he'd come? The gala had been going on for quite some time, yet he still hadn't shown up.

Charity gala, naturally related to charity.

The first thing brought onto the stage was, of course, a recognized charity organization. Although established not long ago, it had garnered much acclaim.

It was highlighted because the number of cancer patients increased every year without better medical equipment for treatment.

During donations, sums of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions were given, for donating money on stage attracted media attention, and the photographs would be directly placed in newspapers.

And Li Sisi, as one of the major figures in this charity buzz, did not hesitate to donate thirty million in her own name, which was the highest amount of the evening. The only other entity matching Li Sisi's thirty million donation was a corporation, the Ren Clan Group.
