He called her over and introduced, "This is Mr. Peeple, the investor of Stardust. If you join Stardust, you will inevitably interact with him frequently. Please greet him." Helena gestured towards Larry and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Peeple."

Larry nodded. "You're very beautiful. Once the news gets out, it will certainly create a huge wave of excitement."

Recalling the recent argument among the young men, Helena gave a bitter smile and said, "They must be cursing me fervently."

Mallory chuckled. "If you want to step onto the stage, there's bound to be malice. It's best to just bear with it."

Larry pulled out an invitation and said, "This is from the boss of Stardust. On the day of your performance, I will be there to watch your competition."

Helena was quite grateful. "Thank you, Mr. Peeple. I've heard about the mysterious financial backer of Stardust for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be so pleasant to deal with." However, it was out of respect for Mallory.
