Chapter 550: Absolute Rationality, a Brand New Tang Song
5:00 PM.
Lanfeng International Hotel, 23rd floor.
In the independent dressing room of the private banquet hall, the air was filled with the scent of a mixture of high-end cosmetics and fragrance.
Xiao Jing sat on the soft makeup chair, letting two top stylists make the final adjustments to her makeup and hair.
She was wearing that high-end dress specially air-freighted from Paris, and the fine diamonds on the skirt refracted a brilliant and blurred light under the soft light.
Beside her, Xu Qing had also changed her clothes, and was tidying her skirt in front of the mirror, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
"Knock, knock, knock—" knocking sounded.
"Please come in."
Immediately after, the banquet butler wearing a black professional suit walked in.
Said softly: "Miss Tian, the venue has been arranged properly, and the reception hall on the west side is also ready, you can move over."
"Got it, thank you."
Immediately, the makeup artist stopped her movements and walked out with the butler.
Xiao Jing showed a sweet smile to the mirror and turned to look at Xu Qing.
Said with a cunning smile: "Sister Qingqing, today is my birthday, you can't grab Brother Tang Song from me."
"Oh, got it." Xu Qing pursed her lips.
She felt that the reason Xiao Jing insisted on letting her come over was out of the evil interest of "the wife is currently committing a crime," and by the way, to declare sovereignty and establish the status of "
legitimate wife."
But there are still Shangguan Qiuya, Wen Ruan, and others around Tang Song.
A bunch of messy things in the future.
She was too lazy (didn't dare) to participate in it. Xiao Jing smiled sweetly, stepped forward to hold Xu Qing's hand, and suddenly lowered her voice:
"Don't be unhappy, we will be good sisters for a lifetime. In the future, we will share the same 'treasure' and have the deepest bonds. Maybe—we will even 'play' together on the same King Size bed in the future, don't you think?"
"Ah! You, you pervert! Don't talk nonsense!"
Xu Qing's face turned red instantly, as if scalded, and she threw away Xiao Jing's hand like an electric shock.
Xiao Jing looked at her cute appearance of being both shy and angry, and laughed "hehe" badly, the light in her eyes becoming more cunning.
The two played for a while, and then walked out of the dressing room together.
Accompanied by two staff members, they passed through the internal passage and came to the "Star Language Hall" located on the west side of the banquet hall.
Here, the layout was more biased toward the style of a fashion party, and a small jazz band was playing light Bossa
Nova music in the entrance corridor.
The exquisite dessert area was filled with appetizers such as caviar tarts and truffle fries, as well as colorful non-alcoholic cocktails prepared on-site by celebrity bartenders.
Two specially invited top fashion photographers were holding "long guns and short cannons," capturing wonderful moments in the venue.
Xiao Jing pointed to those photographers and said to Xu Qing: "Sister Qingqing, you are so beautiful today, wouldn't it be a pity not to take a few photos. These are all photographers who have taken big shots for magazines, the effect is absolutely no worse than your art portraits."
High-end luxurious environment, tailor-made Chanel evening dress, shining jewelry accessories, and perfect makeup—for Xu Qing, who already loves Cosplay and often shoots various portraits, how could she withstand this temptation?
"Fine." Xu Qing demurely brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, trying hard to suppress it, though the excitement she couldn't hide was already visible in her eyes.
Soon, the photographer was in place.
The lights focused, Xu Qing stood under the crystal lamp of the reception hall, lifted her chin slightly, and instantly entered the state, posing a queen pose that was both sexy and aggressive.
"Click—"
The flash lit up, freezing this moment of beauty.
"Ding—" the elevator stopped slowly on the 23rd floor.
A group of five young men and women dressed in bright clothes walked out one after another under the guidance of the hotel waiter.
The carpet under their feet was thick and soft, and the whole floor was so quiet that only the faint jazz music coming from afar could be heard.
After turning two corners, a huge three-dimensional reception poster came into their eyes.
At the entrance near the passage, there was also a check-in desk shrouded in gorgeous white flower wreaths, champagne-colored balloons, and star light strips.
Two reception ladies wearing elegant evening dresses were waiting there with smiles.
Qin Hua stopped, smiled and said to her friends beside her: "This is it. Xiao Jing's family invited more people this year, and there are some of her elders, so the layout is more grand than in previous years."
Several friends beside her nodded one after another, smiling and echoing:
"Not bad, Jingjing's face is becoming more and more like a heroine!"
"This poster is designed really well, I have to find this company to get me one later."
A group of people chatted and came to the check-in desk, showing their invitation letters to the staff.
After the staff verified the information, they smiled and invited them to leave their names in the exquisite check-in book.
And registered the gifts they each prepared in the book.
The reception lady introduced in a sweet voice: "In addition, tonight's party has a 'masquerade' theme, please choose a mask you like here. Of course, this is entirely up to the preferences of the distinguished guests, it is not mandatory."
Saying that, she pointed to a velvet wall next to it displaying dozens of half-face masks.
Everyone let out a small exclamation and started to choose with great interest.
After putting on the masks they chose, a group of people walked into the gorgeous "Star Language Hall" accompanied by two reception staff who also wore simple silver masks.
They saw the "protagonist" Tian Jing, who was the most dazzling in the crowd, at a glance.
Tian Jing was wearing a luxurious champagne-colored sequined evening dress, and the slim tailoring perfectly outlined her exquisite figure.
The skirt was covered with fine sequins, and with her every subtle movement, it flowed with a dreamy luster under the light and shadow.
The cold white skin was set off by the champagne-colored long skirt, looking even more moist like jade.
Radiant, elegant, and sexy.
"Jingjing, happy birthday!"
"Jingjing, long time no see! Happy Birthday!"
"Wow, our big birthday star is simply beautiful today!"
Everyone said while walking toward her with a smile.
"Huahua, you guys are here!"
"Xinxin, missed you to death!"
"Chengge, you are handsome again!"
Xiao Jing's face bloomed with a bright and sweet smile, and she greeted them one by one enthusiastically.
Immediately, she affectionately pulled over Xu Qing, who was wearing a fox mask beside her.
"Come, come, come, let me introduce you, this is my good friend, Xu Qing. Qingqing, this is Qin Hua I mentioned to you, this is Zhang Yuxin—they are all my best friends!"
"Hello, Qingqing."
"Hello, this outfit is too hot!"
"Hello, hello."
Everyone immediately greeted each other enthusiastically.
Just at this time, another burst of laughter came from the entrance.
Liang Yufan, Li Junyi, and several other former colleagues of Tian Jing at Jinxiu Trading also walked in wearing various masks.
They were also local rich second generations in Yancheng, and had met Qin Hua and others, and some knew each other.
It was just that under the cover of the mask at this moment, it added a bit of strangeness and mystery.
"Don't talk, let me guess who you are—Junyi? Haha, I can recognize your coquettishness even if you turn into ashes!"
"Hey, hey, hey, Miss Zhang, give me some face, okay, I call this fashion taste!"
"Hello, Brother Yufan, long time no see."
"Yo, not bad, can you recognize this?"
For a time, the side hall was full of laughter and laughter of guessing each other's identities, and the atmosphere was very lively.
After the greetings and liveliness.
Li Junyi leaned to Xiao Jing's side and asked curiously: "By the way, Xiao Jing, hasn't Qi Wen come yet?"
Xiao Jing shook her head and explained: "Jinxiu Trading just had that big news about cross-border business, Sister Wen, as the business person in charge, is now taking the team on a business trip to the Imperial Capital, and won't be able to come back for a while."
Zhang Yuxin suddenly bumped Xiao Jing's shoulder and gossiped: "Xiao Jing, I only heard from Huahua this morning that you actually got out of the single life?! When did this happen? You hid it too deep! And—I heard it's still a colleague from your previous company?"
She and Xiao Jing have been friends for many years, and this is the first time she has heard that she is in love.
As soon as this was said, the originally lively atmosphere instantly quieted down a bit.
Only Xu Qing, her pitch-black eyes rolling around, put on a posture of eating melons that had nothing to do with her.
Xiao Jing still had that sweet smile on her face, raised the champagne glass in her hand, and her tone carried just the right amount of shyness and happiness: "He is a very good person, I will formally introduce him to you later."
A flash of imperceptible gloom flashed in Liang Yufan's eyes hidden behind the mask.
When he tried his best to enter Jinxiu Trading, one of his purposes was to be close to the water and cultivate feelings with Xiao Jing.
Unexpectedly, the other party not only got together with the grassroots CTO of the company, but later jumped ship directly, making all his plans fall through. However, now that Tian Chengye's side is a mess, and he even sold the shares of Jinxiu Trading, he didn't have much thought either.
It's just that he is still very unwilling.
After all, the two have known each other since childhood, and this feeling is like being NTR'd by a yellow-haired guy who suddenly jumped out.
Very aggrieved.
Qin Hua's gaze flashed, and she smiled and said: "Then why hasn't your mysterious 'boyfriend' come yet? Such an important occasion as a girlfriend's birthday party, he as the male lead, hasn't shown up until now, is it a bit unreasonable?"
Xiao Jing said unhurriedly: "There is still more than half an hour before the official start, what's the rush? A girlfriend's birthday, he naturally has to prepare well and give me a big surprise."
Qin Hua smiled and said nothing more.
Her father, Qin Dechang, was in another VIP hall at this moment, chatting with Tian Chengye and others.
Later, when Tang Song comes, facing such a scene—heh, it's really an interesting "big drama."
"Buzz, buzz—" the phone in the handbag vibrated.
Xiao Jing picked up the phone and looked at it, her eyes lit up.
[Song: "I have already set off, I will be there soon."]
Quickly replied with a cute emoji.
Xiao Jing walked out of the crowd elegantly and came to the hotel banquet manager who was coordinating the scene.
Said softly: "Manager Liu, my boyfriend will be here soon, can I trouble you to go to the lobby and pick him up personally?"
Manager Liu was slightly stunned, and then a warm smile piled up on his face immediately: "Of course, Miss Tian's friend is our most distinguished guest. Please tell me the other party's information and license plate number, so I can arrange it."
Xiao Jing blinked, "You should know him, his name is Tang Song."
"Uh—" The professional smile on Manager Liu's face froze instantly, his pupils couldn't control a violent shock, and his voice even changed, "You—you are referring to—President Tang?"
"Mm-hmm, yes, trouble you."
"Ah! Okay! Okay! Don't worry! I'll go over immediately!"
Manager Liu bowed respectfully and hurriedly turned around, taking out the walkie-talkie while running toward the entrance.
Tian Jing is actually the boss's girlfriend, and she is coming to celebrate her birthday personally.
This is a big deal! Must notify the executive level immediately!
Looking at his reaction like his hair was on fire, a cunning smile flashed in the bottom of Xiao Jing's eyes.
This is the effect she wanted!
Here, it is Tang Song's home court.
Appearing under the personal greeting of the general manager of his own hotel, or even under the crowd of executives, this "face" is enough to bring enough shock in the first second of appearance.
Her friends, to put it bluntly, are all rich second generations born with silver spoons.
Some excellent ones, like Ni Qingli, Qin Hua, Liang Yufan, are at most "quasi-successors" who are learning how to take over assets under the protection of their families.
And Tang Song, a self-made tycoon with a net worth of hundreds of millions, is no worse than that Lin Jingming.
After this opening show ends, there is also the finale appearance of Shangguan Qiuya, and even Zheng Qiudong.
With them present, even facing that Young Master Meng from Singapore, Tang Song can not fall behind.
Although it didn't reach the shocking effect she originally envisioned, it was enough.
Everything is proceeding perfectly according to the script she wrote.
Tang Song, get ready to enter the stage I prepared for you!
I will let you spend the most unforgettable birthday party, and then—change into my most beautiful clothes, and with you, at the top of this city.
Complete the most important "ritual" in our lives.
6:00 PM.
Night fell, and the lights came on.
The black Rolls-Royce Phantom slid silently through the dedicated lane and stopped steadily under the magnificent rain canopy at the hotel entrance.
Led by the hotel general manager Qiao Anji, a group of 4 executives in the hotel quickly greeted them.
The doorman respectfully opened the back door.
A polished tobacco-brown Berluti leather shoe landed first.
Immediately after, a slender and upright figure walked down from the car calmly.
The Patek Philippe 5961P watch on his wrist shone brightly under the hotel's brilliant lights.
"President Tang!" "President Tang!"
Qiao Anji leaned forward, his voice a bit nervous: "President Tang, we didn't know Miss Tian was your girlfriend before, there is something we didn't report to you."
Then he explained the Echo girl group flash mob performance briefly.
Because there is another shareholder, Yunxi Real Estate, coming forward, the hotel side is fully cooperating.
And for Lanfeng International Hotel, this is also a major benefit of publicity, which may cause a wave of internet celebrity check-ins.
After listening to his report.
Tang Song nodded lightly, "It's okay, I know."
Qiao Anji breathed a sigh of relief and immediately led the way.
Just walked into the magnificent hotel lobby.
A crisp prompt sound rang out instantly:
"Ding! Special event dungeon [Tian Jing's Birthday Party] has been opened!"
[Permission activated—.]
["Tang Song's Reflection" has taken effect]
Tang Song's footsteps stopped, and he stood in place.
In the next second, a strange feeling that could not be described in words instantly swept through his whole body!
He felt his consciousness, as if divided into two.
One part is still the "realistic Tang Song" who has seven emotions and six desires, will be nervous, will look forward to it, and will feel interesting about everything that follows.
And the other part was instantly extracted and elevated to a higher dimension of absolute calmness and absolute rationality.
The world in front of him became different.
The movements of everyone around seemed to have been adjusted to slow motion.
The nervousness and calculation hidden under the respectful smiles on the faces of the hotel executives; the gazes full of shock and speculation cast by the guests in the distance.
He can "see" everyone's emotional fluctuations, can "hear" their true inner thoughts, and can "calculate" the next action they are most likely to take.
Thoughts in his mind flowed at an unprecedented speed.
Countless thoughts emerged like stars, and then were easily captured, classified, and analyzed.
Some business questions accumulated in the past were suddenly enlightened in a single thought.
In the blink of an eye, he reconstructed the cash flow model of Lanfeng International Hotel, deduced the brand strategy of Songmei Apparel after Double 11, evaluated the real asset value of Yannan Film and Television Base, and found a more reasonable direction for the next merger and acquisition case of Rongliu Capital—Secretary Jin, Su Yu, Ouyang Xianyue, Wu Kezhi, Annie Kate—everyone's personality, advantages, shortcomings, abilities, and character were displayed in his thinking palace like clear character cards.
All information flowed calmly and orderly in his mind like a data stream.
However, this is not complete "divinity."
Under absolute rationality and coldness, he can still feel the heartbeat of the "realistic Tang Song" who is about to see Xiao Jing, and can feel the real emotional temperature that belongs to him.
Tang Song closed his eyes lightly, feeling the "player Tang Song" with 99 points of charm in the game, and realized an unprecedented touch.
Two consciousnesses, perfectly integrated at this moment.
The absolute rationality of "Reflection" put a special "divine" shell on "Realistic Tang Song."
He became a brand new self.
The executives around saw that the boss's movement stopped suddenly, and immediately stopped their footsteps.
No one dared to open their mouth to ask, just waiting in place quietly.
It was just a flash.
Tang Song raised his eyelids again.
The originally deep eyes became deeper and more condensed.
The gentle smile that was there or not on his handsome face was completely restrained, replaced by indescribable coldness and composure.
He clearly didn't do anything, didn't say anything, but exuded an invisible powerful aura, making the surrounding air seem to become heavy.
He clearly hadn't done or said anything, yet he radiated an intangible, powerful aura that made the surrounding air seem to grow heavy.
