161. Chapter 161: Superior-Subordinate Relationship

"Beautiful person, beautiful dance!" someone in the crowd shouted in response, drawing a burst of boisterous laughter.

Yang Lan curled the corners of her mouth, scanning the room with a playful glint in her eyes, "So, does everyone want to have beauties in their arms and experience a life like the Young Master of the Shen Family's?"

"We do! We dream of it!" An even louder roar of laughter erupted from the crowd, mixed with whistles and jeers.

Yang Lan raised a hand to signal for silence, then the smile on her face faded, replaced by a shrewd and capable expression as she got straight to the point: "I trust everyone already knows that our Xingyao has reached a partnership with the Shen Family to co-develop a love simulation game."

"This game is currently in the midst of intensive development,"

She paused, her gaze glancing to the side as a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, "The progress is beyond my imagination, and I believe it will be able to meet everyone very soon."

"This epoch-making game, jointly developed by the strong alliance of Xingyao and the Shen Family, will break the dimensional wall and allow everyone to truly experience this kind of thrilling scene firsthand!"

"At that time, I hope Ryan Group, as the launch platform, can give us the greatest support!"

The crowd was silent for a moment, then erupted into an even greater clamor, clearly very interested in Yang Lan's topic.

"Support! A win-win-win situation, we definitely support it!"

"Thrilling scenes? Can President Yang elaborate?"

"Yeah, yeah, don't keep us in suspense, we're looking forward to it so much!" the crowd clamored one after another.

"…Then I will reveal just a little bit."

Yang Lan deliberately drew out her tone, her gaze sweeping over Shen Huai and Lin Yeman with a hint of sly amusement, "The game will feature real-life character models of myself and Young Master Shen~"

Once these words were out, the whole room was shocked!

"Holy crap! For real??"

"The Chairman of Xingyao and the Young Master of the Shen Family are personally doing game modeling??"

"This is too explosive!"

"?? This is giving them way too much face!"

…

The crowd exploded, discussing it heatedly, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Shen Huai was also stunned; he had absolutely not expected Yang Lan to say such a thing.

He had no prior knowledge of this and had no idea that Yang Lan had been holding back such a big move.

Shen Huai turned his gaze slightly and noticed that the expression on Lin Yeman's face beside him was not looking good either.

It seemed that not only had Yang Lan not given him a heads-up, but even her own sister had been kept in the dark.

Lin Yeman stood where she was, not having taken off her beautiful girl mask; the corners of her mouth turned down slightly, clearly feeling some dissatisfaction with Yang Lan's move to act without prior consultation.

He had originally thought this "dance of three" was purely a provocation from Yang Lan.

It turned out, unexpectedly, that it was a solo stage show by Yang Lan!

"Everyone, quiet down and let me finish." Yang Lan's voice rose again, carrying an unquestionable air of authority.

The crowd gradually quieted down, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Yang Lan, waiting for what she had to say next.

"The name of this game is 'Forbidden Love', positioned as a 3D Love Simulation Game. The game background is set in the entertainment industry, and players will play as a newcomer entering the industry, unfolding various entanglements of love and hate with various types of stars and big shots..."

At this point, Yang Lan deliberately paused, her gaze sweeping over Shen Huai and Lin Yeman again, and said in an ambiguous tone: "Of course, there will also be some relatively… thrilling plotlines in the game, such as… a ménage à trois scenario~"

Excited screams and whistles erupted from the crowd again, clearly full of anticipation for Yang Lan's description.

"To let everyone better experience the fun of the game, we have also simultaneously developed a companion Robot, which will be sold together with the game!"

Finally, Yang Lan dropped the last bombshell of the night.

"What?!"

"A companion Robot??"

"And it can sync with the game??"

"This is too awesome!"

…

The crowd was completely boiling over, everyone frantically discussing the news Yang Lan had just announced.

The Chairman of Xingyao deigning to dance with another beauty and Young Master Shen was actually to personally promote this game?! Shen Huai was being given way too much face! …

In the crowd, only Shen Huai could not be happy.

He looked at the radiant Yang Lan on stage and the fanatical crowd below, and a sense of inexplicable unease suddenly welled up in his heart.

He silently looked up.

His father, Shen Zhiyuan, was sitting in a second-floor VIP box, looking down at him silently through the transparent floor-to-ceiling window.

And his mother, Yang Shuqin, was snuggled up beside Shen Zhiyuan, raising her glass slightly toward Shen Huai with a nod and a smile.

Shen Huai panicked a little.

The reactions of his mother and his father, Shen Zhiyuan, were clearly those of people who had known about this all along.

Could it be that Yang Lan had reached some kind of private deal with the two of them? Shen Huai's gaze suddenly turned toward Yang Lan.

The sudden appearance of the robot, the dance of three, and the ex-girlfriend in the department…

He always felt that he had been calculated by Yang Lan…

And what made him feel even more uneasy was that he was unable to refuse.

"Young Master Shen, do you have anything to add about the game?"

Yang Lan's voice rang in his ears with a hint of playful amusement.

Shen Huai came back to his senses, looking into Yang Lan's deep eyes, his heart shivering; he knew that he had been tied together with her inadvertently.

"I have nothing to say," Shen Huai said coldly.

"He doesn't, but I do."

Suddenly.

A cold, clear voice suddenly appeared behind the crowd.

Shen Huai turned his head to look and discovered the man in the "Superman" mask walking with steady strides toward the center of the crowd, in the direction of Yang Lan.

Immediately following, the man gently removed his mask, revealing a face identical to Shen Huai's.

"It's the eldest young master of the Shen Family! The second young master Shen's brother!" the crowd recognized him immediately.

"Finally seeing him up close, what a rarity!"

Shen Huai gritted his back teeth, watching in silence as the android, with a calm expression, walked to Yang Lan's side and then gave a slight nod to the crowd, "Our Shen Family is about to join forces with Xingyao to jointly invest and establish a joint game technology company."

"I am here on behalf of the Shen Corporation to publicly invite Ms. Yang Lan to serve as the executive director of this company; I wonder if Ms. Yang Lan would be willing?"

"Executive director?" The crowd erupted in an exclamation, "Then who is the Chairman?"

"Shen Huai" smiled and confidently raised his hand to point at Shen Huai, "Naturally, it is my younger brother."

In an instant.

The crowd gasped! "A superior-subordinate relationship?"

"The Chairman of Xingyao, going to the new company to be a subordinate to the second young master Shen? It must be in name only, right?"

"This relationship is a bit messy."

Those attending the ball were all management figures from the Ryan Group; there was no one who did not understand the hierarchy between an executive director and a chairman! Lin Yeman's face turned livid as she watched this explosive statement from the android.

She loosened her hand from Shen Huai's arm and looked at Yang Lan with a gloomy gaze.

The android certainly would not speak on its own accord; this statement of his must have been a program Yang Lan had debugged long ago.

The Shen Family and Xingyao jointly registered a company? How did she not know about this?

Lin Yeman turned her gaze toward Shen Huai, only to see Shen Huai looking back at her with the same confused expression.

Both of them were completely bewildered by Yang Lan, not understanding what the ultimate goal of this performance by Yang Lan was.

It was not until the android spoke the next sentence that everyone was stunned on the spot!

"Here, I would also like to announce some happy news to everyone."

"I have the honor to be engaged to President Yang in two months; the specific engagement time will be subject to the official announcement of the Shen Corporation, and I look forward to everyone's attendance." (End of chapter)
