The Hong Kong Children's Charity Dinner was grandly opened
When night falls, the Harbourfront Hotel in Central, Hong Kong is brightly lit. Tonight, the annual Hong Kong Children's Charity Dinner was held here. It's a big event for Hong Kong's high society, with the rich and famous busy dressing up to show off on the charity stage.
Among the many guests, Lin Tianer was the first to arrive. She wore a dark green dress, smiled brightly, and greeted her acquaintances warmly. As the daughter of Adrian Cheng, she has a reason for self-confidence - whether it is from her father or her husband's family, she is a top wealthy family in Hong Kong.
In this family-oriented circle, she is recognized as a leading figure.
Followed by Xu Ziqi, who had not appeared in public for a long time. She wore light makeup and an off-white dress, and stood quietly in the corner of the hall. With a tired face, she seems to have something on her mind, and rarely talks to people.
This once high-profile daughter of the four major families now obviously exudes the atmosphere of wanting to stay away from the hustle and bustle.
Not long after Xu Ziqi appeared, Li Jiaxin also hurried to arrive. Different from Xu Ziqi's low-key, Li Jiaxin greeted the guests warmly, with a knowing smile on her face.
Li Jiaxin, who is struggling on the edge of the celebrity circle
Li Jiaxin's dress tonight can be described as impeccable, and the well-designed blue dress sets off her figure to show off her curves. But all this careful arrangement could not hide the flattery and caution revealed in the tight smile on her face.
Many years ago, when she married into the wealthy Xu family, she was confident that she could enter the celebrity circle with her outstanding appearance and charm. When the media mocked her with the "wealthy bus", where would she care when she was young.
Li Jiaxin, who has been in the entertainment industry for many years, is proud of her appearance and does not take those ladies with a deep family background in her eyes.
However, over the years, she gradually discovered that physical charm could not gain a foothold in this circle. She once openly robbed He Chaoqiong's man, and she also turned against Gambi, these infamous old things put her in a situation of alienation from the beginning.
What's even worse is that her nominal wealthy husband Xu Jinheng is actually an abandoned child who has been snubbed in the family, and he has very little pocket money in hand, which is far from the real children of wealthy families.
Time and time again, Li Jiaxin will find that she is still a marginal person in this circle. No matter how flattering she is, she can't get real acceptance. Just like the last time Tang Minyi's party, she was obviously there, but she was disposed of in the official photos.
In the center of the photo are always the ladies of the main palace who are from famous families.
For years, she struggled to squeeze into the circle. The nervousness and effort on her face tonight fully showed her desire to be accepted.
The quiet Xu Ziqi
If Li Jiaxin is cautious at the party, Xu Ziqi's attitude is completely different. Although she has not appeared in public for a long time, her calm attitude has not changed in the slightest.
Different from Li Jiaxin's warm greeting, Xu Ziqi just nodded lightly, and got a warm response from the guests. She seems to have added a bit of arrogance to her after not seeing her for a long time, maintaining a polite smile and rarely communicating with people too much.
Recently, it was rumored that she was preparing to become pregnant and started her own dessert brand, as if she was planning to live independently in the future. On the other hand, her husband Li Jiacheng is rumored to still have a close relationship with a flight attendant, and the scandals of the two often meeting privately are endless.
Xu Ziqi, who was in the whirlpool of rumors, did not frown, and the calm smile on his face did not change at all.
There was no need for her to lose her temper about these things. Because behind her is the Li family, one of the four major families in Hong Kong, and her husband is the eldest son of the family business. With this family background as the backing, no one can shake her status in the celebrity circle.
There is no need to flatter or pay attention to the gossip of the outside world.
So, tonight she just showed up a little and said hello, and it was enough. You don't have to say much, and you don't have to smile and greet people. Her noble family background and identity have occupied an undoubted place for her in this circle.
People may call her arrogant, they may say that she is elusive. But everyone's respect for her can only come from spontaneous convincing, and cannot be exchanged for any statement she makes.
This is the feeling that Xu Ziqi gives people - a quiet woman, even if she stands on the cusp, she is not moved by the outside world at all.
Lai Zi who successfully marched into the army
If Xu Ziqi is calm and calm, and Li Jiaxin is cautious, then Li Zi's attitude is just right and decent. She's overzealous and not cold enough to be rude.
After entering the venue, she smiled slightly and greeted a few friends.
Li Zi gives people the feeling that she knows her fate. She is not as deliberately flattering as Li Jiaxin, but she will not exude Xu Ziqi's aura. Her warm and decent attitude makes people feel friendly and unpretentious.
Perhaps, what successfully impressed the outside world was her situation after marrying Ma Tingqiang. The Ma family is one of the four major families in Hong Kong, and the strength of the family should not be underestimated. Ma Tingqiang looks like a lame rich man on the outside, but behind him there is an amazing family business that no one knows.
The love for Li Zi made this marriage even more satisfying. With such a solid backing, she is naturally calm.
What's more, Li Zi did not rely on her husband's family background to live. After many years in the industry, she worked hard in the entertainment industry to make a name for herself, and after retreating behind the scenes, she successfully started a business in the medical beauty industry.
Now, she has amassed a considerable fortune on her own.
This background allows Li Zi to handle this circle with ease. She doesn't have to flatter anyone with flattery, and she doesn't have to deliberately keep her distance to put pressure on people.
Her warm and generous attitude makes people stay away from her.
Tonight's Li Zi is the attitude that a woman who has successfully entered high society should have. neither humility nor arrogance; Neither enthusiastic nor cold. She gives people the impression that she is just right and unfazed.
It is such a steady and introverted attitude that has made her recognized by this circle.
What the real celebrity circle needs
Looking at the three women with their own stories, in fact, tonight's party is a test and comparison.
Li Jiaxin wants to fit in but always hovers on the edge, exposing her dilemma of only external decoration and no strength. Xu Ziqi is calm and calm, showing that as long as he has a strong background, he can disdain flattery.
Li Zi's unfazed attitude proves that independent cultivation is still needed outside the family world.
It is not difficult to see that the threshold of this circle is actually very high. To be recognized, what is really needed is not flashy and flashy.
For example, the reason why Xu Ziqi doesn't need to please anyone is because she has the blessings of the four major families. This allows her to do whatever she wants in the circle. Li Zi also does not rely on her wealthy husband, but uses her career to gain status.
These achievements are the result of inner strength.
In contrast, Li Jiaxin only has external beauty and dressing, lacking real attitude and cultivation. She tried hard to get into the circle, but she was always on the edge. Because she misjudged the standards of the circle - it was never about designer bags and jewelry, but about unique connections, family backgrounds and connotations.
This may be simple, but it is very difficult to do. Only Xu Ziqi, who is famous for his family, or Li Zi, who struggles on his own, can easily pass the difficulties set by this circle.
If others want to enter, it will have to be possible through long-term efforts.
Perhaps it is precisely because the threshold is so high that this circle has its charm. Gaining recognition is a lifelong quest for many women, but few end up entering.
This also creates the high-end and noble of this circle. So it will never be a place to step in with a glossy appearance. What is needed here is a family background accumulated from generation to generation, as well as an unshakable inner cultivation.
