Chapter: 6683

Ye Chen never chased celebrities, so whether it was these Japanese celebrities or the soon-to-arrive Tavanna Svit, he had no interest whatsoever. As for the high-society figures at the scene, Ye Chen was even less interested. He wasn't someone who liked to curry favor with influential people and didn't care about these Japanese big shots.

What was interesting was that despite being mostly Japanese, everyone at the scene surprisingly spoke English, even those with heavy Japanese accents. Almost no one spoke Japanese, which surprised Ye Chen a bit.

However, he quickly figured out the underlying reasons. The Japanese have always had a great admiration for Western cultures, especially American ones, since the Meiji Restoration. Wearing Western suits, ties, and sipping coffee, speaking English was the favorite pastime of the elite class. Today's situation was no exception.

Sakurai Hiroko led the three of them around the venue, greeting some familiar faces with a smile before introducing them to others.

Ye Chen noticed a small detail: Sakurai Hiroko seemed to only introduce people outside of the party's main circle, while the core area of the venue had over ten people chatting. Sakurai Hiroko repeatedly tried to take the three of them there, but ultimately failed.

Ye Chen deduced that Sakurai Hiroko herself might not be able to reach the top-tier figures and was already making a bit of an awkward impression by introducing her acquaintances. If she were to bring along a few more unfamiliar faces, the atmosphere would only become more awkward.

As she was watching, a young woman in an evening gown walked up to Sakurai Hiroko with a smile. "Hiroko, I see you're running around like a headless fly, are you distributing business cards?" she asked.

Sakurai Hiroko looked at her with some awkwardness and said, "Miki, I'm introducing my friends to some familiar guests."

"What kind of friends?" Miki turned to look at Ye Chen, then at Xiao Yu Ran and Dong Ru Lin. She opened her mouth to say, "I don't think these few friends are Japanese, do they?"

Although people from Japan, China, and South Korea may have similar facial features, a discerning woman can tell them apart with one glance. Each country has its own unique characteristics, which become apparent after careful study.

Xiao Yu Ran and Dong Ru Lin had a OL (office lady) style, with hair and makeup that were distinct from Japanese women's styles. Ye Chen never wore makeup, not even to fix his eyebrows, which made him stand out as not being from around here in the eyes of Japanese women.

Sakurai Hiroko didn't want to talk to Miki anymore and replied, "No, my friends are all from China."

Miki turned to look at Ye Chen, asking curiously, "Don't you know what this gentleman's name is or where he came from?"

Ye Chen replied casually, "My surname is Ye, my given name is Ye Chen. I'm a freeloader with no occupation, so I don't have any background to speak of."

Miki was taken aback and looked at Ye Chen again, then at Xiao Yu Ran, who was walking beside him. Although the two men didn't dress up too elaborately or wear expensive jewelry that could be easily seen from afar, they still exuded a certain air of refinement, which made Miki think they must have come from a big family.

She smiled and said, "Mr. Ye is indeed very humble. This time, I only brought three invitations. Our family asked us to use these invitations to invite some big shots with good backgrounds and social status. Hiroko gave yours out to you, so I'm sure you both must have some impressive background stories. How can Mr. Ye be a freeloader?"

Ye Chen looked at Miki's straightforwardness in surprise. Why didn't she just say all this in her heart?

However, Ye Chen didn't bother thinking too much about it and simply said: "I'm indeed a freeloader with no fixed occupation. I usually give people a glimpse of my feng shui skills and earn some tips. If Miss Miki has any related needs, please feel free to consult me."

Miki finally realized that Ye Chen wasn't being humble.

She raised an eyebrow and smiled playfully: "Feng shui, I've heard of it, or so I think. It's like a feudal superstition in China, similar to the feng shui masters in Japan. However, most of these are just low-level, second-rate people. The upper echelons of Japanese society don't believe in such superstitious things."

After that, she turned and asked Xiao Yu Ran beside her: "Doesn't this lady know where she's from?"

Xiao Yu Ran replied: "I've opened my own design studio just recently."

Miki asked again: "Design studio? Where is it located? Is it in China?"

"Yes," Xiao Yu Ran said. "It's in Jinling."

Miki was surprised to think that Xiao Yu Ran was some famous Chinese designer, only to find out that she had actually opened a design studio in Jinling, which was just a second-tier city in China. Even if it were a well-known design studio in Tokyo, Miki wouldn't bother looking twice at it, let alone a small-time, unknown female designer from Jinling. JrNovels.com
