Chapter 613 Our Imminent Intersection 2
Looking at Anne Kate's stunningly beautiful face in front of me.

I recalled the voice I heard on the phone earlier.

Lin Muxue felt a tingling sensation on her scalp, and a feeling of absurdity welled up in her heart.

The Tang and Song dynasties were truly amazing!

He managed to get his hands on such a beautiful foreign woman?!

"It seems... you've remembered something interesting?" Anne looked at her expression, her smile widening.

Lin Muxue snapped back to her senses, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in her heart and trying to maintain a calm demeanor.

"No...it's nothing, I just didn't expect you, Ms. Kate, to take the initiative to contact me."

Anne gestured with her beautifully shaped chin toward the upstairs area. "It's lunchtime, why don't we go up and sit together? I've prepared some food upstairs, made by my personal chef, and it tastes pretty good."

She paused, then added, "Oh, right, I also opened a bottle of '90 Romanée-Conti. You'll probably love it."

Lin Muxue felt a slight excitement, and the corresponding information subconsciously surfaced in her mind.

Hailed as one of Burgundy's great vintages, this wine is full-bodied and complex in aromas…JM scores it 99 points…

Then I felt a little uneasy and afraid.

She really couldn't figure out the other person's intentions.

Is this another warning to me?
Damn it! All Xiaoxue did was be a little too flamboyant, was it really that big of a deal?!

First it was Su Yu and Director Jin, and now another American socialite with a terrifying background has arrived!
This industry is so tough!

She took a deep breath and said to Xu Ning, who was standing there in a daze, "Xu Ning, you go eat first. I have something to discuss with Ms. Kate."

"Oh, okay, Xiaoxue, I'll be going now." Xu Ning glanced at the blonde woman with an aura so powerful it was suffocating, and then obediently and quickly left.

"Let's go, Ms. Kate."

"Call me Anne."
The elevator ascended smoothly and finally stopped on the 30th floor.

"Beep—" The smart door lock opened in response.

Lin Muxue followed her into room 3001.

The interior is luxuriously decorated and highly artistic, twice the size of her apartment, and offers a wide view.

The bustling cityscape of Yancheng can be seen through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The two sat facing each other in the restaurant.

Soon, a meticulously dressed waiter poured them the legendary bottle of Burgundy red wine.

The wine appears as a mesmerizing ruby ​​red in the crystal glass, like flowing liquid gemstones.

Lin Muxue's gaze was involuntarily drawn to it.

The appetizers, as exquisite as works of art, were served one by one, and the waiters bowed and quietly withdrew.

In the huge restaurant, only the two of them remained.

Annie gently swirled her wine glass, which clinked against Lin Muxue's glass, producing a crisp sound.

She took a sip, the aroma of the wine lingering on her lips and teeth, but didn't immediately get to the point.

“I heard you’re Song’s personal assistant, is that right?” Annie asked casually, as if she were just chatting about the weather.

“Yes, Kate…Ms. Anne.”

“That must be very hard work.” Annie looked at her with amusement, her fingertips gently tracing the rim of the glass. “Taking care of a man like that is no easy task.”

"Fortunately, President Tang is very good to me."

Annie raised an eyebrow, then changed the subject, "By the way, what does he usually like to eat? Is he allergic to anything?"

At first, her questions were quite routine, about her diet and clothing preferences.

But gradually, the issues became more and more private and more and more daring.

"...So, how is he in bed with you? Does he have any... special little kinks? His most sensitive spots..."

Lin Muxue felt a chill run down her spine and could only grit her teeth and stammer a reply in a vague voice.

After a while.

Anne raised her glass and lightly clinked it against hers.

He chuckled, "Luna, I've heard about your exploits. You're amazing! After taking Mira's gift, you still accepted Mo's invitation, and now you're getting close to Su Yu too. You've got guts, I like it."

Lin Muxue quickly explained, "Ms. Annie, please believe me, I... don't know anything about this."

Anne gently shook her finger, interrupting her, "Don't worry, I'm not Mira. I'm not that petty. In fact, I admire your courage and ambition."

Lin Muxue's situation was no secret to them.

However, since she was Tang Song's assistant, it was this that triggered Mira's stress response, leading to her reprimanding her.

But her main purpose in coming this time was for Tian Jing, to prevent this well-behaved girl from causing any "mishaps".

She hadn't originally planned to go to this birthday party, and even others, including Wu Kezhi and Zheng Qiudong, wouldn't have been allowed to cause trouble if Mira had followed her original wishes.

After all, Mira had already planned out Tian Jing's future path.

Shangguan Qiuyue will make the arrangements.

But who would have thought that Tian Jing would be so bold as to buy the wedding dress and ring right away?

In any case, the fact that Tang and Song entered the Jinxiu trade without any apparent reason remains a mystery to this day.

What if he has a relationship with Tian Jing?
In order to make this "rich and beautiful young lady" give up her fantasies.

The only way to give her a big "surprise" is at this birthday party.

Annie narrowed her eyes slightly and turned her attention back to Lin Muxue across from her.

“However, since Mira has already warned you, you should know what you should and shouldn’t do.”

"Thank you for the reminder, Ms. Anne." Lin Muxue's eye twitched.

Anne's gaze swept over her. "Being Song's personal assistant is no easy job. You'll encounter many things in the future... more complicated than you can imagine. One wrong move and..."

Anne extended her red-painted finger and made an "explosion" gesture in the air, "Poom!"

〣(Δ)〣

Lin Muxue was so frightened that she shrank back.

Anne was amused by her appearance and burst into laughter.

Lin Muxue bit her lip and said stiffly, "I will try my best to be Mr. Tang's assistant."

Anne blinked, took a sip of her drink, and changed the subject again, "You're going to London next week, right?"

"Yes."

“I have many friends in London,” Anne said cheerfully. “When we get there, I’ll introduce you to a lady from the Astor family and let her show you around London.”

Lin Muxue's heart pounded violently!
Wow! That's amazing!

I was just going to school for a few days, and I not only had the opportunity to ride on Tang and Song's private plane, but I was even received by a noblewoman.

But she also knew that there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Gritting her teeth, Lin Muxue mustered her courage and asked, "So...Ms. Annie, what do you want me to do?"

"Good girl!" Annie's face showed an appreciative expression. "You really didn't disappoint me. You're a smart girl."

The reason she chose to approach Lin Muxue first was because, after investigating everyone around Tang Song, she found that Lin Muxue was the one most easily driven by "interests".

He's also a very interesting person.

Annie leaned forward slightly, her azure eyes gleaming with excitement and wildness. "Before you leave Yancheng, will you... have a good time with Song?"

“Uh…” Lin Muxue’s cheeks flushed slightly. “Perhaps, it depends on President Tang’s arrangements.”

“No, that depends on your plans.” Annie’s voice carried an irresistible allure. “I hope you can invite him, as well as your good friend Zhao Yaqian, to your apartment for a grand farewell party. Of course, it would be even better if there were other people as well.”

Lin Muxue's lips twitched violently, feeling her worldview being reshaped.

"…Then what?"

“And then?” Annie gently licked her full red lips. “When you’re all exhausted… I’ll invite Song to my room for a long chat about life. Isn’t that interesting?”

Her voice was extremely low, yet it was filled with an intense desire to conquer.

This was also her main objective this time.

Although she had learned a lot of new knowledge, she still felt a little apprehensive and fearful when facing Tang Song, just thinking about those two days of madness.

And the brilliant idea she came up with was—

Let others drain him dry first, then when he is at his weakest, defeat and conquer him completely and mercilessly.

The reason for not implementing it immediately.

One reason is that Tian Jing's matter is the most urgent one right now, and the other is that her ovulation period is still two days away.

That was when she was at her strongest.

“Listen, Luna.” Anne stood up and looked down at her. “If you want my friendship, prove to me that you deserve the opportunity I’m giving you.”

Hearing her words, Lin Muxue was completely stunned.

Looking at the beautiful, powerful, yet somewhat insane woman before her, only one thought remained in her mind.

This...is he probably a pervert like Tian Jing?!
very scary!
Is this how rich and beautiful women play?
If the two of them got together, the scene... I just can't even imagine!

……

In a private club in Shanghai.

Zheng Qiudong leaned back on the soft leather sofa, his gaze passing through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows as he looked at the endless stream of cars below, lost in thought.

After a while.

Sitting opposite her, Mo Xiangwan finally processed the news she had just received.

She rubbed her throbbing temples and said somewhat speechlessly, "So... you mean not only are you going to Tian Jing's birthday party, but Wu Kezhi and Annie will also be there in person?"

“Yes, Annie has arrived in Yancheng. Wu Kezhi and I will go there tomorrow.” Zheng Qiudong turned around and slowly sipped his warm black tea. “Including President Tang himself, this is the most we’ve all gathered together in the past two years.”

Mo Xiangwan frowned deeply: "You guys are really reckless. This is essentially just Tian Jing's birthday party. You don't even know her well. Is it appropriate for you to make such a big fuss and rush over like this? It looks more like you're going to cause trouble."

She knew the most about this birthday party in order to prepare for that flash mob.

There weren't many participants; they were mainly some of Tian Jing's close friends and relatives from her parents' business dealings, totaling just over forty people.

It can be categorized as a private "family social event".

“What’s inappropriate about it? I received a personal invitation from Miss Tian.”

As Zheng Qiudong spoke, he lit up his phone screen and showed the beautifully designed electronic invitation.

Mo Xiangwan's expression turned serious: "Does President Tang know about this?"

“He probably doesn’t know,” Zheng Qiudong shrugged, looking indifferent. “But he knows that Wu Kezhi and I are going to Yancheng. Speaking of which, didn’t you do the same thing, arranging a ‘gift’ without informing him?”

“It’s different…” Mo Xiangwan subconsciously argued, “We originally planned to hold a pre-event flash mob for Echo’s new song, it just so happened that we chose Yancheng as the location. Besides, this can also be considered a sweet remote interaction between Xiaoyu and Tang Song. But you, Qiudong, your purpose doesn’t seem so pure.”

Zheng Qiudong's eyes flickered for a moment, and he chuckled, "Personally, I think Dejurenhe and Tian Jing are a very good match, after all, we are both deeply involved in the field of human resources. My purpose is very simple, I just want to help President Tang share some of his burdens and provide some assistance for his girlfriend's future career."

"Hehe, then you'd better prepare for any possible targeting from Director Kim."

Zheng Qiudong's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly. "It shouldn't be that bad, right? I've looked into it. Tian Jing is a very well-behaved and intelligent girl. She also studied psychology, so she definitely knows how to get along with Director Jin, just like... Wen Ruan."

“This is different,” Mo Xiangwan said incisively. “Wen Ruan is a smart person but not very ambitious, and she just happened to appear at the most opportune time. One person like that is enough. Do you think Tian Jing is also that kind of person? No matter who she ultimately sides with, it may not be a good thing for you or me.”

Zheng Qiudong's smile gradually faded, replaced by a sharp, desperate look.

"Then let's take a gamble. Anyway, Dejurenhe has reached a point where it has to change."

He is an ambitious man.

Watching the Tang Jin system expand rapidly, everyone on this giant ship is striving forward and sharing the fruits of victory.

But he was not content to be just a "logistics officer" who provided fuel.

He wanted to stand on the bridge and enter the core cockpit.

Seeing his expression, Mo Xiangwan knew that further persuasion would be futile, so she said nothing more.

He stood up and said, "I'm going to make a phone call to rearrange tomorrow's 'events'."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

As he walked, he dialed the number of the person in charge of Shengtang Security.

She originally thought it was just a fun birthday party.

At most, the various factions would tacitly send people to deliver gifts, express their stance, and establish good relations.

Now, a bunch of people have personally gotten involved.

This was no longer a simple birthday party, but rather an informal, small-scale "internal gathering" of the "Don King Family Office".

If this gets out, it could have unpredictable consequences.

Director Jin and Ms. Ouyang have always been extremely sensitive and cautious about information concerning Tang Song himself.

Tang Song's high-profile appearance at the "Investors' Night" last time, coupled with the subsequent injection of tens of billions of dollars from Rongliu Capital, should have caused a huge stir in the media and financial circles.

This completely exposed some information about the Tang and Song dynasties.

It was precisely because Director Jin, Ms. Ouyang, and Tangzong Entertainment used enormous resources behind the scenes that they were able to suppress all potentially leaked information.

No photos of Tang and Song dynasties were included in any headlines that would have caused a sensation in the Asia-Pacific region.

Even so, within industry circles, some information about the Tang and Song dynasties had already been circulating privately.

To prevent any accidents and avoid causing major trouble, we must be cautious.

Fortunately, Echo's flash mob can also serve as a cover-up, minimizing the impact as much as possible.

……

Lanfeng International Hotel, 23rd floor, private banquet hall.

Hotel staff in uniforms moved about the room, some carefully adjusting the lights and sound system, others setting up exquisite decorations on the tables.

The entire banquet hall is decorated in soft champagne gold and elegant off-white tones, creating a look that is both romantic and luxurious.

The hotel's banquet manager was with Xiaojing, occasionally whispering to her about the details of the setup and asking if there were any adjustments needed.

"Turn the lights down a bit, I don't like them too bright."

"Also, ask the kitchen to prepare some extra low-calorie mousse and fruit tarts at the dessert station over there, since some of my friends are on a diet recently."

Just then, a familiar voice called out from behind: "Jingjing—"

Xiao Jing turned around and saw her mother, Chen Man, walking towards them with several stylishly dressed ladies.

Besides them, there was also her best friend, Qin Hua.

"Mom, Aunt Wang, Aunt Li..."

Xiao Jing immediately put on a sweet and obedient smile and went to greet him.

"Oh my, our Jingjing looks as beautiful as a fairy today."

"Xiao Jing has become even more beautiful since I last saw her a few months ago."

Several aunties grabbed her arms, looked her up and down, and praised her with smiles.

Chen Man looked at her beloved daughter, her eyes filled with pride and love.

Xiao Jing chatted with them for a while, making the aunties smile happily.

She casually added, "Mom, why don't you take the aunties around and give them your suggestions for improvement? Huahua and I will discuss some details of tomorrow's activities."

"Alright, alright, you go ahead with your work." Chen Man replied with a smile and led everyone inside.

Xiao Jing then gave the banquet manager next to her a wink, and the manager immediately understood and respectfully stepped forward.

He began to act as a guide for Chen Man and her group.

The noise subsided.

Xiao Jing stared intently at her best friend and asked directly, "Huahua, what's the result of the investigation I asked you to do?"

Qin Hua said unhurriedly, "I checked Ding Furong's background. He's a college classmate of a junior assistant in the president's office. He came through a regular internal referral. The assistant thought his resume was pretty good, and since there happened to be a vacancy, he just assigned him to the position. It was just a coincidence, nothing special."

"Oh? Which assistant is it?"

"Hehe, you wouldn't know her anyway. By the way, Xiaojing, is your evening gown ready? I'm thinking of trying it on, and if it's pretty, I'll order one too." Qin Hua tried to change the subject.

"I'm serious about this, don't try to brush me off." Xiaojing's tone remained calm, but her eyes sharpened. "What's that assistant's name?"

Because the referral process is handled directly from the president's office to the HR department, Qin Hua definitely knows who it is.

"Xiaojing, let's leave it at that!" Qin Hua's face also darkened. "If your boyfriend really has objections, let him come to me. Or, at the birthday party tomorrow, I'll talk to him about it in person."

Xiao Jing's eyes narrowed slightly. "So you mean... you're going to go against me?"

"I..." Qin Hua's lips moved, her eyes flickering, "Xiao Jing, I just think your boyfriend is too willful, and now Zhongcheng Group is..."

"Stop!" Xiaojing interrupted her directly. "I don't want to hear any more of this nonsense."

Qin Hua's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and she was about to say something more.

"Ring ring—" Her phone suddenly rang.

After glancing at the caller ID, Qin Hua said in a low voice, "It's Liang Yufan and the others. We can talk about this later. Let's go outside and greet them first."

Xiao Jing looked at her evasive eyes, said nothing, and strode out.

……

the other side.

As Chen Man was admiring the banquet hall's decorations, a figure suddenly appeared beside her.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Chen."

Chen Man turned around and saw a middle-aged man in a dark suit with a refined demeanor.

She was a VIP member of the Lanfeng International Hotel, so she naturally knew him.

The hotel's GM (General Manager) is Joe Angie.

"Mr. Qiao, hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

“Ms. Chen, I’m so sorry to bother you.” Qiao Anji’s face was impeccably smiling. “I have some details regarding the special arrangements for tomorrow’s birthday party that I would like to discuss with you privately. Would it be convenient for you to sit in the VIP room next door now?”

Chen Man's heart stirred, and she vaguely sensed that things were not so simple.

Qiao Anji is the general manager of the entire hotel. Although her daughter's birthday party is considered a big client, it is not so prestigious that the client would personally come to arrange every step of the process.

After greeting my friends, I followed Qiao Anji to the quiet VIP room.

She pushed open the door and saw a man and a woman sitting on the sofa.

Upon seeing her enter, the two immediately stood up.

Qiao Anji immediately introduced, "This is Miss Tian's mother, Ms. Chen Man."

Chen Man looked at them with a puzzled expression.

The smartly dressed, elegant middle-aged woman extended her hand and smiled:
"Hello, Ms. Chen, let me introduce myself. I am Xi Meng, the artist management director of Tangzong Entertainment, and also the person in charge of the Echo girl group."

"Tangzong Entertainment? Echo girl group?" Chen Man exclaimed in surprise.

She had naturally heard of Echo, the top girl group in China, which was incredibly popular.

It belongs to Tangzong Entertainment, the largest entertainment group in China!

She had previously used her connections to get front-row tickets and accompanied her daughter to their concerts.

I never expected to run into the person in charge of this girl group here, who is also a senior executive of Tangzong Entertainment.

The surprise on Chen Man's face quickly faded, replaced by just the right amount of doubt.

He shook hands with the other person and asked, "Excuse me... Director Xi, is there something you need from me?"

Simmons smiled. "Ms. Chen, Echo's new album will be released next month. As a warm-up, Tangzong Entertainment and the official platform have jointly planned a special project called 'Starlight For U'."

We plan to randomly select a stranger's birthday party and have Echo drop in for a flash mob performance, giving the world premiere of her new song.

As it happens, Ms. Tian's birthday party's scale, environment, and timing perfectly meet our requirements.

So we'd like to ask if you would be willing to accept this special gift from Echo and Tangzong Entertainment?

I believe this will be an unforgettable and wonderful birthday celebration for your daughter.

Upon hearing this, Chen Man's heart began to race uncontrollably.

My daughter has always been a fan of Echo, and now, at her most important birthday party, a top girl group will be giving the world premiere of their new song here…

This is more than just a surprise; this is an incredible display of power!

Chen Man took a deep breath, suppressing her immense joy, and her face regained the elegance and composure befitting a noblewoman.

"Director Xi, you're too kind. It's our honor to have the favor of Tangzong Entertainment and Echo. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need our cooperation."

"Thank you for your understanding, Ms. Chen. We have only one small request—in order to ensure the best 'surprise' effect of this flash mob, we hope that this matter can be kept completely confidential from all guests, including Ms. Tian Jing, before it happens."

“Of course I understand,” Chen Man nodded immediately. “Absolutely.”

Simmons smiled with satisfaction, then turned to the side and introduced:
"This is Mr. Wang Zhengze, the general manager of Shengtang Security (Yan Province). Because of the participation of the Echo girl group, in order to ensure the safety and privacy of all VIPs present, all security work for tomorrow's banquet, including the on-site service personnel, will be fully taken over by the Shengtang Security team."

Wang Zheng nodded at the opportune moment and said, "Hello, Ms. Chen. Please rest assured, we have a long-standing and in-depth cooperative relationship with Lanfeng International Hotel. The hotel's security system was originally maintained by our company."

Joanie, standing nearby, echoed her sentiment.

Chen Man took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "Okay, everything will be done according to your plan!"

Security for the Tang Dynasty!

Of course she knew that it was the top-tier comprehensive security service provider in the country!

We have partnerships with many large domestic companies.

My daughter's birthday party not only featured performances by a top-tier girl group, but also comprehensive security coverage from a top-notch security company...

For the Tian family, which is currently in dire straits, this is also an excellent opportunity to showcase their "foundation" and "connections" to the outside world!

In particular, top young talents like Lin Jingming and Meng Chuan will be present tomorrow night.

Thinking about this, Chen Man felt her back straighten up considerably.

I was worried that there wouldn't be enough food, so I specially invited some of my friends to make it more presentable.

This unexpected "huge display" is truly a godsend!
