Chapter 611: The Stage

Inside the Star Language Hall, the air was quiet to the point of freezing, only faint jazz music still drifting about.

The dense footsteps gradually stopped at the entrance.

The crowd behind Tang Song paused their steps tacitly and consciously.

Shangguan Qiuya's red lips were tightly pursed, a look of fascination flashing in her eyes.

This was the feeling.

No, or rather, compared to the past, it was even more intense! More intuitive!

At that time, his appearance was far from as outstanding as it was now, but just by relying on his powerful aura, even if Jin Dong stood in front of him, he would restrain all his sharpness and rest assuredly as a supporting role.

Once you have been in contact with such a person, it is difficult to have any ripples for other so-called "excellence."

If Jin Dong were present at this moment, she would surely be very happy.

Her gaze chased the back in front of her.

The entire reception hall seemed to have been divided into two worlds by an invisible wall.

One side was Xiao Jing and her friends who were in shock and curiosity; the other side was Shangguan Qiuya, Qiao Anji, and others.

Tang Song walked through them, like a protagonist walking onto a stage.

Calmly and unhurriedly welcoming everyone's gaze.

Many women present couldn't help but have a burst of excited flush on their faces, looking straight at him.

Men were also infected by the indescribable aura and charm he exuded.

Liang Yufan, Li Junyi, and others rolled their throats unconsciously, their eyes wide open.

As employees of Jinxiu Trading, they naturally knew Tang Song.

And they had even drunk together in bars, and Li Junyi had even gone cycling with him.

But at this moment, they all looked at him with an incomparably strange gaze.

And Lin Jingming, who was surrounded by the crowd, saw the smile on his face restrain for the first time.

His bright eyes hidden behind the gold-rimmed glasses narrowed slightly.

Calmly examining this man who was walking toward him.

As a tech upstart who started from scratch, he understood people better than any rich second-generation kid present.

He had also seen many "big figures," and from the other party's aura, he could clearly feel that kind of "superior" aura.

The hard-soled Berluti leather shoes stepped on the thick carpet without making a sound.

Facing everyone's gaze.

Tang Song didn't care at all.

His expression and movements didn't reveal a trace of abnormality, still calm, unhurried, and impeccable.

Demeanor is the "carrier" of temperament, and temperament is the "core" of demeanor.

The ultimate combination of the two made Tang Song's charm have both the stretch of "form" and the depth of "spirit."

Now he was in a strange state of "unity of inside and outside."

Making everyone who saw him feel comfortable, happy, and attracted.

The area he passed through naturally became the absolute center of the entire stage.

He passed through everyone's gaze, gradually approaching Xiao Jing, who was in a state of extreme excitement and standing there blankly.

Qin Hua, standing beside Xiao Jing, had the champagne glass in her hand tremble imperceptibly.

Her eyes revealed indescribable palpitation and amazement.

She had seen many handsome guys, domestic and foreign, and even in the entertainment industry, but never had a man given her such a huge visual impact upon first meeting.

Looking at his handsome, cast-like face, Qin Hua's heart tightened suddenly.

Wait?!

Is—is this that Tang Song?!

She had seen photos of Tang Song on Xiao Jing's phone.

Although most of them were close-ups of his hands, there were also some that showed his face.

It was indeed him.

But how could the real person be like this? Her brain couldn't react for a while.

Tang Song's deep, starry eyes swept over unintentionally.

Qin Hua's cheeks turned red instantly, and she subconsciously shifted her gaze away, not daring to look him in the eye.

In the corner, Xu Qing, who still had caviar on the corner of her mouth, had her mouth slightly open, her face full of dazed shock.

(O_O)?

(°°;)

I... I #!

Is—is this that big pervert Little Song Zi?!

Why does he feel so—so strange today?

It's like—like—a combination of the black-bellied domineering president and the gentle second male lead she imagined in novels!

No! Not right! In two-dimensional terms, this should be—the ultimate evolution—WarGreymon (Perfect Form)!

She really couldn't connect the man before her with that big pervert who would press her head into her best friend's quilt and force her to say "call me daddy"!

Finally, Tang Song's footsteps stopped in front of Xiao Jing.

His gaze fell on Xiao Jing's sweet and beautiful face, gentle and brilliant ripples spreading in the depths of his eyes.

"Sorry." His voice was not loud, but it clearly entered everyone's ears, clear and full of magnetism. "Just handled a small matter downstairs; waited a long time, right?"

He reached out, his fingertips gently lifting Xiao Jing's cool palm, his movements natural but carrying an irresistible certainty.

"No—no!" Xiao Jing shook her head subconsciously, those beautiful eyes gradually igniting with almost fanatical flames.

"Happy birthday." Tang Song's fingertips gently brushed the stray hair by her ear. "This dress suits you very well; you are very beautiful."

"Thank you, Song."

Xiao Jing's heartbeat was like a drum, as if it were about to break through her chest.

She had never thought that just talking to him could make her feel so shy that she was about to melt.

She shouted frantically in her heart with excitement:

Shikuni!

KAMISAMA! (God! It's Lord God!)

Once, she felt that what she liked most was Tang Song's hands.

Now she felt that his whole person was exuding fatal attraction.

Is this fate?

I must eat him tonight!

No, be eaten by him!

Seeing this scene, Xiao Jing's friends gradually came back to their senses, looking at each other.

They finally realized that this was Xiao Jing's "mysterious" and "irresponsible" boyfriend.

Recalling the previous discussion, a huge, absurd sense of contrast surged in everyone's hearts.

This boyfriend of hers was simply perfect to an unbelievable degree, and the style of the surroundings was a bit off.

It really looked like the "two-dimensional boyfriend" Xiao Jing longed for.

On the other side, Chen Man also finally woke up from the shock.

She looked at the young man before her, and intense brilliance and surprise erupted in her eyes.

This didn't match the "grassroots son-in-law" she had imagined at all.

Regardless of other things, just looking at his appearance and temperament, Xiao Jing was even a bit unworthy of him.

No wonder her daughter would be so "love-brained"!

If it were her when she was young, she would definitely have been even more so!

Her gaze shifted at an angle, looking at the hotel executives standing in the direction of the door.

And looking at this posture, his identity seemed to be unusual.

The noblewomen behind her all had amazing and strange expressions in their eyes.

They had seen many "young talents," but had never seen one so outstanding, even making them feel a lot of pressure.

Just as everyone in the hall had their own thoughts.

Tang Song turned slightly, holding Xiao Jing's hand and turning toward Chen Man.

An elegant and appropriate smile appeared on his face. "Hello, Auntie, I am Tang Song, very happy to meet you."

He had both the previous calmness and nobility, and carried just the right humility and respect.

Being watched by those deep eyes, Chen Man was actually subconsciously flattered.

This feeling came inexplicably, but was incomparably real.

She quickly adjusted her expression, gentle and enthusiastic: "Oh my, hello, hello. I always heard our Jingjing praise you before, and today I finally saw the real person; Jingjing's praise was still too conservative."

"Auntie, you are too kind."

Tang Song exchanged pleasantries for a while, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the hall imperceptibly.

Shock, scrutiny, panic, awe, jealousy, greed...

Every person's emotional fluctuation, clothing, and micro-expressions were like clear data streams, flowing silently into his consciousness.

He didn't even need to think to have a most basic, almost precise cognition and judgment of everyone present.

His gaze stayed on the faces of several acquaintances like Li Junyi for less than half a second, indicating with a very graceful nod.

Everyone who was swept by his gaze would subconsciously straighten their bodies a bit.

Finally, it landed on the big silly Xu Qing who was looking at him blankly.

A trace of teasing flashed in his eyes that only Xu Qing could read.

Xu Qing hurriedly shrank her neck back, lowered her head, pretending to study the champagne bubbles in her glass seriously, feeling guilty.

Lin Jingming, standing not far away, clearly felt the powerful aura that spread silently with Tang Song as the center, as well as that kind of almost condescending neglect.

Especially seeing him holding Tian Jing's hand, he was naturally very unhappy in his heart.

However, his excellent upbringing and composure meant he did not show it.

Just at this moment.

"Clack, clack, clack—"

A burst of hurried but deliberately lightened footsteps approached.

Hotel General Manager Qiao Anji walked up quickly, bowing slightly in front of Tang Song.

His tone was respectful: "Miss Tian, Auntie Chen, I'm really sorry! It was our negligence at work; we didn't know the relationship between the two of you and Chairman Tang before. Regarding all the venue, guest room, and catering expenses for this birthday party, we will arrange for the finance department to refund the money to your account through the original channel."

The people around were startled, not understanding what he meant.

Xiao Jing, who was secretly touching Tang Song's "male god hand," eyes flashed, instantly full of energy.

It's coming, it's coming!

All the "actors" were in place, and the script finally returned to the right track.

Next, it was time to invite the real protagonist to perform!

A sweet smile appeared on her face, playfully: "It's okay, Manager Qiao. I just wanted to add some performance to my boyfriend's hotel and help him rush the KPI."

She paused, tilting her head, as if saying something perfectly normal, "After all, money spent at one's own hotel doesn't count as waste, right?"

Qiao Anji's face bloomed with a bright smile, "That's right, that's right! Miss Tian, you are right! Being able to serve your birthday party is the honor of all our Lanfeng International staff! Happy birthday!"

These few lines of dialogue, rich in information, instantly left the people around stunned in place.

Boyfriend's hotel?!

Lanfeng International Hotel is Tang Song's?!

Chen Man, who was closest, had her eyelids twitching wildly, and the elegance and calmness belonging to a noblewoman could no longer be maintained.

Today's birthday party, her daughter really gave her a huge surprise!

"This—" The expression on Qin Hua's face froze, because of the shock, she almost bit her tongue.

Looking at Tang Song again, her eyes were full of disbelief.

Wasn't it said he was the CTO of Jinxiu Trading? Starting a live e-commerce company on his own.

How did he suddenly become the boss of Lanfeng International Hotel?

She had wanted to expose the fact that he was a gigolo and meddled in Zhongcheng Group in front of friends at Xiao Jing's birthday party.

But now there was only fear and nervousness in her heart.

Thinking of Gao Junfeng and that Ding Furong in her mind, the corner of her eye twitched.

Liang Yufan, Ni Qingli, Li Junyi, and others almost couldn't hold their wine glasses steady.

For this landmark luxury five-star hotel, these local rich second-generation kids knew it very well.

Valuation close to 1 billion, building area 60,000 square meters.

One of the most famous commercial real estate brands under Yunxi Real Estate, and also the social center of the local upper class.

This scene "certified" by the hotel general manager personally absolutely couldn't be acting.

In other words, this hotel was really Tian Jing's boyfriend's.

The nature of this was completely different.

Most of them, although wearing the halo of "rich second-generation," the total assets of their entire family business added up might not be comparable to a Lanfeng International Hotel.

Moreover, they were only the second or third generation of their families, and their future inheritance shares were yet to be determined.

The gap here was too big!

"Wow—" After a short silence, uncontrollable discussions rose like a tide, full of shock and incredulity.

The gentle and confident smile on Lin Jingming's face froze, his gaze becoming deep and flickering.

His Suchong Power was indeed famous, with a valuation of 500 million USD.

But he only had 20% of the equity in it; if it really came to net worth, he was really not comparable to the other party.

Of course, the growth potential of tech companies and the logic of heavy asset industries like hotels were not the same, and the future potential of Suchong Power was greater.

After simple pleasantries.

Qiao Anji bowed to Tang Song again, "Chairman Tang, Miss Tian, then we won't disturb the interest of the distinguished guests. If you have any needs, you can call me at any time."

After he finished speaking, he nodded politely to Chen Man and the others, and then turned, taking other executives, and exited the reception hall silently.

"Click," the heavy hall door closed gently.

"Xiao Jing, happy birthday."

Shangguan Qiuya, who had been waiting for a long time, walked over, a breeze-like smile on her face.

"Sister Shangguan! You're here! Welcome, welcome!"

Xiao Jing immediately greeted her, affectionately holding her arm, her eyes full of heartfelt joy and reliance.

In her view, Shangguan Qiuya was her strongest "trump card" tonight.

She was going to have a head-on PK with that guy surnamed Meng later.

Subsequently, she looked at Tang Song again, and her guess was confirmed.

Sure enough, Tang Song and Shangguan Qiuya had an unusual relationship, and his CTO position was also arranged by Fan Wenzeng through her.

Just now he said he had something temporarily downstairs; he should have gone to "meet privately" with Shangguan Qiuya.

But none of that mattered; as long as this old sister Shangguan was willing to put in the effort, everything would be easy!

At this time, Fan Wenzeng also stepped forward, a gentle smile on his face: "Miss Tian, happy birthday. I wish you all the best and always be happy."

"Fan Dong!" "Fan Dong! Why are you here!"

Until this moment, Liang Yufan, Li Junyi, and others finally discovered the "inconspicuous" middle-aged man.

It was really because the aura of Tang Song's appearance just now was too powerful, plus the hotel general manager and a group of executives were all gathered there.

And Fan Wenzeng himself deliberately kept a low profile, so they didn't recognize him.

The rich second-generation kids around who hadn't recovered from Tang Song's identity were stunned again.

Could it be that this "guy" was also a big figure?

Chen Man also looked at Fan Wenzeng suspiciously, feeling somewhat familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.

"Thank you, Fan Dong!" Xiao Jing smiled sweetly, "I didn't expect you to come to my birthday party; it's truly an honor, thank you."

She then turned to the side and introduced: "Mom, this is the representative director of Smile Capital at Jinxiu Trading, Fan Dong Wenzeng."

Chen Man's expression changed instantly!

She finally remembered.

She had seen a group photo of him at her husband Tian Chengye's place before.

There was no need to say how powerful Smile Capital was.

And Fan Wenzeng's status was naturally sufficient.

Looking at her calm "son-in-law-to-be" again, Chen Man was inexplicably excited.

Today's surprises were really one after another!

"So it's Fan Dong, sorry for the lack of respect. I always heard our Old Tian mention you before; thank you for coming to Jingjing's birthday party personally.

When he sees you later, he will definitely be very surprised."

"Mrs. Tian, you are too polite."

Fan Wenzeng smiled politely, but his gaze subconsciously looked at Tang Song beside him.

He still didn't quite understand the situation in his heart.

Originally, he was called over by Assistant Shangguan, saying he was to accompany a "distinguished guest" to attend a birthday party.

It turned out to be Tang Song.

He naturally knew this person, the CTO of Jinxiu Trading, who was even proposed by him at the board meeting.

Now it seemed that the other party had a deep relationship with Assistant Shangguan.

Feeling the complex gazes around him.

Tang Song raised his wrist to check the time, then lowered his head to look at Xiao Jing, his voice gentle: "The time for the birthday party is almost here, shall we go over?"

"Yes, yes, yes! People are almost all here, we should go into the main banquet hall!" Chen Man reacted immediately, nodding and echoing with a smile.

Xiao Jing gave a forceful "Mm," holding Tang Song's hand, obediently following by his side.

Subsequently, everyone began to move slowly.

Inside the main banquet hall.

The lights were brilliant, exquisite and gorgeous.

Soft and ethereal piano music flowed quietly throughout the space.

Outside the huge panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, it faced the most prosperous CBD skyline in Yancheng.

Outside the window, the city's neon lights were like a flowing galaxy, and the endless stream of car lights on the ground converged into golden light bands, reflecting with the warm and soft lights in the hall.

As everyone walked in.

On the main stage, the huge LED screen slowly lit up, starting to play a VCR.

Inside were mainly Xiao Jing's life clips and photos.

There was the greenness of wearing a school uniform in student days, and the capability of wearing professional attire after work.

There were personal portraits full of artistic sense, and happy group photos laughing with friends.

Immediately after, the warm-up interaction session began.

Whether it was the "themed photo check-in area" or the "floral DIY experience area," they were all decorated with great ingenuity.

There was also an exquisite buffet table on site.

The purpose was to allow guests to communicate and relax freely before the ceremony officially began.

But at this moment, most people seemed distracted.

Their gazes were always involuntarily attracted by that figure who seemed to bring his own light source. ===== CHAPTER 612 =====
