Of course, Wan Jia's gown had the largest role to play in this. She usually looked cute in her jeans and tee shirts with childish prints. In Wan Jia's black gown, she still looked cute, but had a charming aura about her.

"If we leave any later, we will be late." Lin Lihua observed.

"Right. You ladies should get going. Later, make sure to wow the masses."

"We will." Lin Lihua said. "Also, later if anyone asks what brand of gown I'm wearing, I'll say it's from MAX and publicize your brand."

Wan Jia's face couldn't resist smiling. "Thanks sis. Alright, go go. My brother-in-law will be mad at me if I keep his woman any longer. He has been waiting for a while already."

"You mean person! How could you not tell me?"

The trio went to the venue together. So as to not be the third wheel, Shishi kept some distance from them and when they arrived at the banquet, she took the chance to have a chat with a few people.

She was just an ordinary girl and no one would usually pay attention to her. But since she had come with Lin Lihua and she was truly pretty, she was not ignored either.

...

As the banquet progressed, the screenwriter gave a look to Lin Lihua, who took a microphone.

Her fans felt excited just seeing their idol pick up a microphone. Was she going to perform?

Although this was an opening ceremony and the people attending were mostly the crew and media, Lin Lihua's fans still made a large part of them.

She was never rude to the media when they interviewed her and even if she was busy, she would try to spare just a few minutes to accept interviews.

This made the media personnel really love her.

"My queen just took a microphone. Is she going to perform?"

"I think she's going to say something. Announce her engagement perhaps? Talking of which, her fiancé is really handsome. If he didn't already belong to our queen, I would want him for myself!"

"Are you really Lin Lihua's fan? She announced her engagement already. Perhaps she wants to introduce the little girl she came with."

"I bet on a glass of wine that she is going to sing." A reporter who hadn't seen Lin Lihua perform for a while hoped.

Amid their whispers, she stood on the stage.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen."

"Ah! Lihua! Lihua!" Her fans broke into cheers and shouts of love before she said anything important.

"I would like to take advantage of the spotlight, to announce that..."

She took a deep breath and smiled. At this point, everyone was quiet, anticipating her words.

"This will be my final movie."

What followed was silence. What did Lin Lihua just say?

What was that?

Her final movie? Did that mean that....no! Impossible!

"That's right. I'm retiring from the entertainment industry." She said.

"Lihua, why?" A fan felt struck and cried out.

"I was wondering just now how come the CEO pf Qing Tai Media appeared here. It turns out it's because my queen is retiring. Boohoo...why are all talented actors and actresses retiring?"

"Is it because you don't like us anymore?" Another acted like she had been abandoned by a lover.

"Have we disappointed you?"

Lin Lihua felt sad too. Her fans had always been her greatest reason to continue being an actress and when she was at the lowest point of her career, her greatest support. "No. You have not disappointed me and I still like you." At this point, she could only use another approach. "I, in fact, like you so much that...I'm going behind the scenes to bring you more actresses. I'm currently the owner of an entertainment agency. Isn't this great?"

As expected of fans, they were easily pacified if it was their idol speaking.

"It's great! It's great! Lihua, I will support you forever!"

"I will support even your children and grandchildren, as long as you don't completely disappear on us."

"Forget about disappearing on us. As long as my queen is happy, I will support all her decisions."

Seeing that most of her fans were no longer hysterical, she said the name of her entertainment agency. "HL Entertainment will create many more Lihuas. Don't be too sad, okay?" She resorted to coaxing them like kids. A huge percentage of her fans were teenagers anyway.

Discussion broke out following this. "HL Entertainment? What do those two letters mean?"

"I don't know if I'm being a busybody, but isn't her fiancé's first name Henry?"

"Haha! I thought I was the only one thinking of this. They love each other so much!"

"Hurry up and get kids already."

Exposed mercilessly by her fans, Lin Lihua felt a little embarassed. By this time, she had long put down the microphone and the reporters were trying to find a way to interview her.

Because they expected this reaction, Lin Lihua's announcement was right before the end of the banquet. This way, she didn't cause any inconveniece.

She had spoken to the producer beforehand and he didn't mind her using the event to make such an announcement.

In actual fact, he felt honored.

Lin Lihua would have already retired but because he was the producer of the first movie she had ever acted in, she wanted her last movie to be his too.

Because of this, it was a guarantee that this movie would explode to the highest peak of popularity even before it started shooting officially.

With Lin Lihua's permission, he would use "Lin Lihua's final movie" as a gimmick to make his movie gain even more popularity. The sales would blow up the rooftop!

Who would not want this form of free publicity?
