Chapter 610: Appearance

23rd floor, inside the "Star Language Hall."

The air floated with the faint scent of high-end fragrance blended with white truffle and citrus.

The atmosphere was full of the joy and mystery unique to young parties.

Guests wearing all kinds of masks gathered in twos and threes, guessing each other's identities, laughter constant.

As the female lead tonight, Tian Jing was naturally the absolute focus of the whole venue.

She moved through the crowd with ease, chatting and taking photos with every friend, a sweet smile always hanging on her face.

Just as she was chatting with a few friends, Manager Liu of the hotel walked over quickly.

He bowed slightly and said respectfully in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Miss Tian, Chairman Tang just arrived at the hotel. He asked me to convey to you that he has to meet a friend temporarily and will be delayed for a few minutes; he will be here shortly."

Hearing this, Xiao Jing pouted.

What is Lord Tang Song doing?!

She had planned everything, every link precisely timed; why did he have something come up temporarily?

Now that her friends were all here, and Meng Chuan, Lin Jingming, and others hadn't arrived yet, it was just the right time for him to appear.

Otherwise, he would be upstaged.

Although there was a little resentment in her heart, there was no change in the expression on her face, just nodding lightly and saying "Got it,

thank you."

Just at this moment, a young man laughed: "Look, Sister Qingli is here!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes looked toward the entrance in unison.

Immediately after, they saw a man and a woman walking side by side toward this side.

The woman was wearing a purple evening gown, her long hair coiled up, wearing a black lace mask; it was Xiao Jing's best friend, Ni Qingli.

Beside her was a young man in his early 30s.

He wore a pair of exquisite gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, dressed in a well-fitting Tom Ford suit, his figure well-proportioned.

He didn't wear a mask, and a gentle and confident smile always hung on his handsome face.

The whole person exuded an aura of both elegance and capability, unique to young elites.

"It's Lin Jingming, Chairman Lin of Suchong Power!" Someone immediately exclaimed in a low voice.

"My dad mentioned him, saying he started from scratch and is extremely capable. He's currently preparing to invest heavily in building a factory in our Yancheng."

Some people who didn't know him also began to ask their friends beside them in low voices.

Soon, the brilliant resume of "Lin Jingming" spread through the crowd like ripples.

Young, yet already a tech upstart with a valuation of over 500 million USD, frequently appearing in news reports, making everyone present amazed.

"Sister Qingli, this mask suits you super well, so mysterious and beautiful!"

"Qingli, you finally came!"

"Chairman Lin, welcome, welcome, long time no see!"

Many people who knew him immediately walked up to greet him with a smile.

Soon, Lin Jingming, accompanied by Ni Qingli, arrived in front of Xiao Jing.

"Xiao Jing, happy birthday." Ni Qingli hugged her best friend and laughed, "Look who I brought, surprise, this is a distinguished guest."

"Miss Tian, happy birthday." Lin Jingming looked at the radiant Xiao Jing and behaved elegantly: "It's very presumptuous not to pay a visit to Chairman Tian first, but I just felt that the first blessing tonight should be sent to the most beautiful birthday girl first."

A trace of undisguised amazement and appreciation flashed in his eyes.

He had a very good impression of Tian Jing.

Not only did her figure and appearance perfectly fit his aesthetics, but her family background was also outstanding; she was a standard high-quality rich girl.

He had been struggling and starting a business for many years, and now that he had achieved success, it was time to consider starting a family; Tian Jing was undoubtedly the most ideal partner candidate in his heart.

Xiao Jing said politely: "Chairman Lin, you are too polite. It is my honor to receive your blessing."

Liang Yufan beside her felt a burst of displeasure in his heart; as a man, he could clearly feel Lin Jingming's strong intentions.

But he had to admit that whether it was career achievement or personal charm, he was far from being the other party's opponent.

Driven by Ni Qingli and several core second-generation kids, Lin Jingming soon became the absolute core of the whole venue.

He was witty and knowledgeable, whether chatting about cutting-edge technology trends or the latest business dynamics, he could handle it with ease.

In front of this group of young rich second-generation kids, he formed a dimensionality reduction strike.

Drawing bursts of praise from everyone, surrounded like stars around the moon.

On the other side, in the VIP hall on the east side, the atmosphere was equally lively.

Present, besides family friends like Qin Dechang, were several important partners of Tian Chengye in the investment field.

A young man dressed as an assistant walked quickly to Tian Chengye's side.

He said in a low voice: "Chairman Tian, Chairman Lin has arrived. But he came with Miss Ni and went directly to the Star Language Hall on the west side."

Tian Chengye raised his eyebrows when he heard this, just about to say something.

His wife, Chen Man, beside him, stood up elegantly and said with a smile: "Then I'll go over to receive him; you guys keep chatting."

As a heavyweight guest invited this time, Lin Jingming should have come here first.

But he went directly to Xiao Jing's side, his intention self-evident.

As the hosts, they should show sufficient importance.

Subsequently, Chen Man said goodbye to everyone present.

Several noblewoman friends she had specially invited to "hold down the fort" also stood up one after another.

"We'll go over and stroll around too; I heard Xiao Jing found a professional photographer today, just right to take a few beautiful photos."

"Exactly, exactly, and by the way, see that Chairman Lin you all talk about, to see just how excellent he is."

As they spoke, a group of six or seven bejeweled women left the VIP hall in a grand manner along the internal corridor.

Just as they arrived at the entrance of the "Star Language Hall" on the west side, a burst of young and enthusiastic laughter came toward them.

They saw Lin Jingming surrounded by stars, and Tian Jing standing beside him, looking generous and natural.

At a glance, they saw Lin Jingming surrounded by a group of young people like stars around the moon.

And Tian Jing, who was standing beside him, wearing a gorgeous gown, appearing exceptionally generous and natural.

Everyone was chatting happily and laughing.

"Manman, look, these two standing together are really a talented man and a beautiful woman!" One of Chen Man's friends gently touched her with her elbow.

The others also nodded in agreement, their eyes full of appreciation as they looked at Lin Jingming.

Chen Man looked at Lin Jingming, who was elegant, confident, and extraordinary, sighed lightly, her mood complicated.

Arriving close by.

Xiao Jing immediately greeted them, "Mom, why did you guys come over?"

"Of course, to welcome our distinguished guest." Chen Man wore a gentle and appropriate smile on her face: "Chairman Lin, sorry for the lack of hospitality, please forgive me." Lin Jingming saw her and immediately stopped talking, bowing politely: "Auntie Chen, you are too polite."

The two exchanged pleasantries.

Ni Qingli beside her stood out very cleverly and began to introduce them to Lin Jingming one by one:

"Chairman Lin, let me introduce you. This is Auntie Sun, the director of our Yancheng Cultural Foundation; this is Auntie Wang, the wife of the chairman of Huasheng Group; and this one is..."

Every noblewoman introduced had a significant background and was the core of the true upper-class circle in Yancheng.

They smiled and nodded to Lin Jingming, observing this young talent calmly.

Lin Jingming greeted them enthusiastically, his eyes becoming brighter and more joyful.

He came to Yancheng this time to invest in building a factory mainly because he took a fancy to the high-end supply chain channels that Tang Yi Precision was cultivating locally.

In the future, it would inevitably develop at a deeper level locally.

And these noblewomen before him, as well as the family forces they represented, were exactly the local connections he needed to open up the most.

His strong interest in Tian Jing, besides sincere appreciation, naturally also had this consideration.

After all, Tian Jing was currently working at Tang Yi Precision, which was undoubtedly a heaven-sent fate and a perfect entry point.

If he could get together with Tian Jing, his future business map would be like adding wings to a tiger.

Watching this harmonious scene of mutual appreciation.

Xiao Jing's brows furrowed slightly, her mood somewhat heavy.

The script didn't go according to her plan after all; Brother Tang Song arrived late, and the limelight was stolen directly.

Even if he appeared later, the effect would be much worse.

E=(0*)) Sigh. Chen Man noticed her daughter's expression and held her hand calmly, asking: "Jingjing, where is Tang Song? Why don't I see him?"

She had seen photos of Tang Song and actually quite wanted to meet him.

Ni Qingli beside her eyes flickered and followed up: "Xiao Jing, I just found out, you actually have a boyfriend? And he's a colleague from your previous company?"

She hadn't been back from abroad for long, had been busy with family business, and rarely chatted with Tian Jing.

It wasn't until yesterday that she heard this news in the group.

Lin Jingming's eyebrows raised imperceptibly, the smile on his face faded a bit, and his gaze returned to Tian Jing's face, carrying a trace of inquiry.

Zhang Yuxin beside her blinked and asked curiously: "I say Jingjing, people are almost all here, why hasn't your mysterious 'boyfriend' come yet?"

The originally harmonious atmosphere instantly became subtle.

The expression on Xiao Jing's face paused, and she explained with a smile: "He actually already arrived at the hotel, but just happened to run into an important friend, so he went to handle some work matters temporarily and will be here soon."

Hearing this, the expressions of the friends around her were different.

Qin Hua held a glass of champagne and said seemingly casually: "That's a bit strange, right? For such a big thing as a girlfriend's birthday party, as the male lead, he hasn't shown his face yet. After finally arriving, he suddenly says he has something to handle? Is he that busy?"

Liang Yufan not far away smiled and also leaned forward: "Qin Hua, you might not know about this. Our Chairman Tang has always been like this, holding the title of CTO of Jinxiu Trading, but it's hard for him to show his face in the company even once a month; he's very mysterious."

"What friend could be more important than his own girlfriend? This is too inconsiderate of you."

"Yeah, a bit too much."

For a time, everyone's gaze focused over.

Facing the "idle gossip" of her friends, as well as the gazes cast by her mother and elders.

Xiao Jing still maintained the smile on her face, but the hand holding the champagne glass tightened unconsciously.

Even Xu Qing, who was originally tasting caviar tarts in the corner, stopped her movements and looked at Xiao Jing with some worry.

She also felt that this guy, Little Song Zi, was very unreliable.

Just when the atmosphere suddenly quieted down.

The heavy double doors of the "Star Language Hall" were slowly pushed open from the outside by two waiters wearing silver masks.

Immediately after, a dense and rhythmic sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

Several greeters wearing silver masks automatically lined up on both sides, bowing in unison, their movements uniform.

"Chairman Tang!" "Chairman Tang!"

The low and respectful greetings rippled through the hall.

Everyone's attention was immediately attracted by the movement here.

Xiao Jing's eyes lit up, and she turned around instantly, looking at the door with burning eyes, knowing that the boyfriend she had been waiting for had finally appeared—the script was finally going to return to the right track.

The next second, a slender and tall figure appeared in everyone's sight.

Dark Loro Piana suit jacket, with a white turtleneck sweater from Brunello Cucinelli underneath.

This seemingly simple outfit, worn on him, exuded a top-tier texture that could not be described in words.

Noble beyond words, yet not ostentatious.

His pace was neither fast nor slow, his back straight as a sword, his shoulder line straight, his hands hanging naturally.

His demeanor was impeccable, carrying a natural, seemingly innate casualness and calmness.

Every movement was full of a rhythmic sense and beauty that was pleasing to the eye.

He didn't wear a mask, and there was only a trace of gentle smile on that handsome and three-dimensional face, his dark eyes like a deep lake without ripples.

There was no aggressive pressure on him, but a higher-level unique charm derived from absolute confidence and control.

He just appeared there, and even hadn't done anything, yet naturally became the center of attention.

The lights of the entire banquet hall seemed to be focusing on him automatically.

In the reception hall, men and women alike couldn't help but hold their breath.

Immediately after, behind him, more figures slowly unfolded like a scroll.

The first to come into view were two figures Xiao Jing knew that were enough to make her heart beat faster—one was the ultimate "cheat" she had been looking forward to for a long time, Shangguan Qiuya; the other was one of the representative directors of Smile Capital at Jinxiu Trading, Fan Wenzeng.

And then, it was the core management team of Lanfeng International Hotel led by Qiao Anji.

At this moment, they were bowing slightly, with respectful and enthusiastic smiles on their faces.

Although many people appeared.

Everyone's gaze was still firmly gathered on Tang Song.

Everything around seemed to be just a background board existing to set off his existence.

Xiao Jing's eyes widened slightly, full of extreme shock and excitement.

A heat flow uncontrollably rushed up from the bottom of her heart, instantly rushing to her limbs and bones, making a trace of almost pathological flush appear on her fair cheeks.

Tang Song at this moment was clearly the familiar him, but his temperament had undergone an earth-shaking sublimation.

That feeling—it was like her favorite anime male lead, after being forced into a dead end, finally pressed that hidden transformation device, completely unlocking the final seal!

From a gentle and powerful guardian, he transformed into that cold, indifferent "god" who looked down on all living beings!

Noble, aloof, powerful to the point of trembling!

Ah! I really want to—

I really want to be severely and mercilessly punished by such a—such a Lord Tang Song!

Under the gorgeous haute couture evening gown, Xiao Jing's fair and slender legs began to tremble uncontrollably. ===== CHAPTER 611 =====
