Chapter 617 Horse Taming
I sensed the change in Tang Song's aura.

The executives behind him tensed up instantly, their foreheads beaded with sweat.

At this moment.

Tang Song turned his head and calmly looked at Qiao Anji's face.

"President Qiao."

"Here! Chairman Tang!" Qiao Anji bowed subconsciously.

"Arrange a quiet tea room for me at the Ancient Style Business Club on the 5th floor." His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable penetrating power. "Also, please pass on a message to my girlfriend, Ms. Tian, ​​saying that I'm going to meet a friend and will be a few minutes late, I'll be there shortly."

Having given his instructions, he said no more.

With long strides, I walked straight toward the private elevator.

His pace was neither hurried nor slow, each step as precise as if measured with a ruler, yet carrying an impeccable elegant rhythm.

As he stepped into the elevator, he calmly dialed Annie's number.

“Oh, dear Song,” came Annie’s languid yet sexy voice from the other end of the phone. “Did you miss me? It’s rare for you to call me first, this is such a pleasant surprise!”

"I'm at the clubhouse on the fifth floor of the Lanfeng International Hotel." Tang Song didn't respond to her teasing; his voice was as calm as a deep pool. "I'll give you five minutes to come see me."

"What?" Annie paused for a moment. "Honey, I have something very important to do. If you call me over now, I'll miss the show..."

“Anne Kate,” Tang Song’s voice remained calm, yet carried a sense of authority, “You can also choose not to come.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

At this moment, his mind was sharp and meticulous, and he instantly knew that the biggest and most uncontrollable "variable" in this birthday party scenario was Anne Kate.

Wu Kezhi will keep to his duties, Zheng Qiudong is ambitious but knows his limits, Mo Xiangwan will consider the overall situation, and Luo Bin is calm and rational.

Only Anne, this troublemaker, a foreign woman full of conquering and adventurous spirit, is the biggest "unstable factor".

She might even do something outrageous and beyond control in pursuit of greater "excitement".

He absolutely would not allow this to happen.

Moreover, he also has the task of "controlling Annie," so he must give her a thorough dressing-down before the banquet begins.

……

Less than five minutes later, the door to the tea room was pushed open with a "bang".

She was clearly ready for the party that night.

She wore a silver strapless gown, the upper body adorned with tiny crystals and sequins, which refracted a dazzling and mesmerizing light under the soft lighting of the tea room.

The dress clung tightly to her curves, perfectly outlining her powerful and explosively voluptuous figure.

With blonde hair and red lips, she exudes an aura of power, like a fiery flame walking among humans.

"Da da da--"

The heels of the high heels pounded forcefully on the solid wood floor, each step seeming to vent the owner's dissatisfaction.

"Song!" She stood with her arms crossed in front of the tea table, her icy blue eyes burning with anger and confusion. "What do you want?! How dare you order me around using my full name! This is unforgivable!"

Tang Song didn't look at her; he simply calmly drank the clear, bright yellow tea in his cup in one gulp.

He put down the white porcelain teacup with a soft "tap" and stood up.

The movements were fluid and graceful, full of elegance and composure.

Their eyes met.

Tang Song seemed to be able to clearly "see" her true inner thoughts: excitement, anticipation, and an arrogance that made her think she could manipulate everyone.

I saw his deep, dark eyes.

Annie's pupils trembled, and she subconsciously restrained her arrogance.

My heart started beating faster and faster uncontrollably.

The Tang and Song dynasties before her reminded her of that once fearsome "tyrant".

"You—" She was about to say something to cover up her embarrassment.

“Annie,” Tang Song interrupted her abruptly, stepping in front of her. “Let’s talk about the ‘good show’ you’re preparing to put on tonight.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Anne said, forcing a confident air and raising her chin again. “I’m just here for a fun birthday party. You should know that Ms. Anne’s charm is irresistible, and she’ll definitely be the center of attention. Perhaps… I can also take the opportunity to tease some disobedient little woman and make her realize her insignificance.”

Her gaze was fixed on Tang Song, her words filled with undisguised provocation and a desire to conquer.

She has prepared a very rich program for tonight's stage.

Not only did they prepare gifts, but they also invited Shangguan Qiuyue and Fan Wenzeng, the representative director of Smile Capital in Jinxiu Commerce, to accompany them.

It allows you to immediately reveal your identity and become the focus of attention.

As far as her status is concerned, a local rich and beautiful woman from Yancheng is not worth mentioning at all.

Faced with her provocation, Tang Song showed no emotional fluctuation, neither anger nor offense.

He just watched her quietly, like he was watching a naive girl trying her best to perform.

"You did this to get my attention, didn't you? And you're jealous of her."

He paused, his deep gaze seemingly piercing through her soul, directly seeing into the deepest corner of her heart, a corner she herself was unwilling to acknowledge.

"Is it because I didn't do anything for your birthday on April 15th, or rather, I haven't done anything for any of your birthdays over the years?"

Anne's expression became somewhat uncontrollable. "I didn't! How could I possibly care about something like that?"

"Not only that, you're also jealous of Su Yu, and even Mira (Secretary Kim). It's because... they all got what you think you deserved. So, you act like a child who cries because they can't get candy, deliberately causing trouble to get my attention, right, little Annie from Manhattan?"

Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, for the first time, a hint of panic surfaced in Annie's usually wild eyes, as if all her thoughts had been seen through.

"What the hell are you talking about? That's ridiculous!"
She almost screamed in protest.

Tang Song reached out and gently lifted her delicate chin with his fingertips, a gentle yet irresistible gesture.

He forced her to look him in the eye.

“You’ve fallen in love with me, Annie.” “When did it start? Let me think…”

"...Was it during those days in OCT (Overseas Chinese Town) in Shanghai?"

He paused, then gently stroked her full, red lips with the pad of his thumb.

"It seems your body is much more honest than your mouth."

“Don’t be so full of yourself, Song! I admit, you are somewhat attractive. But it’s just physical, like…like I’m interested in a good-tasting steak! That’s not love! Absolutely not!”

She tried to use the most flippant metaphors to deconstruct the feelings he had shattered and to maintain her dignity.

In her view, falling in love with a man, especially being exposed in public like this, is a terrible thing.

That would be tantamount to declaring defeat in this game of mutual conquest, something she absolutely could not accept.

Tang Song's hand slowly moved downwards, tracing across her delicate collarbone and the rise and fall of her chest.

Finally, it gently landed on her waist, which was supple and taut from years of fitness training.

The distance between the two was instantly shortened to an infinitely close.

The aggressive scent emanating from Anne, a blend of top-tier perfume and her own hormones, filled my nostrils.

Tang Song gazed into her seemingly calm eyes, his voice even softer, "You need to understand one thing. To me, you are interesting and useful, but not irreplaceable."

Feeling the slight trembling of the body in my arms.

He continued, "For example... your two younger sisters who are always trying to stand out in the Ivy League and crave attention. They are young, smart, and obedient."

"Ha! Them?! What right do they have to compare with me?" Annie scoffed, her pride not allowing her to back down for even a moment.

“But you’ve been through that stage too.” Tang Song interrupted her, a deep, unfathomable light flashing in his eyes. “Annie, you’re very ambitious and courageous, and I admire that about you. So, I understand you very well, even better than you understand yourself.”

"You're a restless person. For example, in the summer of 2016, when you were vying for control of the Kate family's 'Emerging Markets Fund in Asia,' you used those underhanded tactics against your cousin, who was better than you in every way..."

Tang Song continued speaking, revealing the dark secrets she had buried deep in her heart.

Anne's pupils suddenly contracted, and her body stiffened.

"Also, that secret apartment you used to live in in London, the one filled with photos of Mira from her university days, and even a collection of her ballet shoes...would you like Mira to visit it?"

Tang Song lowered his head, his warm breath gently brushing against her earlobe, but his voice carried a cold warning:
“I hate trouble, and I hate disobedient horses even more. Anne, if you want everything you desire from me, you should first learn to submit.”

Time seems to stand still.

Anne remained frozen in his arms, motionless.

An indescribable, chilling torrent of shame and immense frustration suddenly exploded from her heart, rushing to every part of her body.

Her carefully drawn red lips trembled violently as she tried to say something in rebuttal.

In the end, he could only grit his teeth and say, "What about those in Shanghai? You can't just toy with me like that and not feel anything at all! Tell me you felt it too! Tell me!"

She tried to find some solace in the idea of ​​equality.

"Tell me first," Tang Song's voice was calm and indifferent, as if her feelings were completely irrelevant to him. "Do you understand what I mean?"

Anne stared at him for a moment, then slowly lowered her head.

The resentment and anger deep inside were strangely replaced by a stronger sense of pleasure from being completely conquered.

The Tang and Song dynasties before our eyes are full of extraordinary charm.

Scenes flashed rapidly through her mind.

As a large conglomerate that has existed for nearly a century, the Kate family has gradually split into independent small entities, with family members focusing on maintaining the status quo.

In Kate's large family, neither she nor her father Claire were ever considered outstanding.

If you want to climb higher and get more, there is no other way but to do whatever it takes.

Until, through Mira, she met this man who was so powerful it was almost absurd.

Under his careful "cultivation" and meticulous, secret arrangements, her life truly entered a "supercharged" mode.

Originally only responsible for part of the family trust business, she has repeatedly made remarkable achievements in the volatile capital market, achieving remarkable success.
Subsequently, she became deeply involved in the founding of Sinsight Capital, and with her outstanding performance, she quickly rose to fame on Wall Street, becoming an important figure in the global financial world.

Ultimately, she unsurprisingly stood out from the many heirs of the Kate family.

And she successfully helped her father obtain the management rights of the key trust that symbolized core power.

She and her family finally rose to the most prominent position in that large clan.

In her eyes, the Tang and Song dynasties were mysterious, noble, silent, and even ruthless.
She admired him, longed for him, and also feared him.

Therefore, after getting to know him again, seeing his changes, and hearing about his romantic affairs, the long-suppressed desire to conquer him finally erupted.

Perhaps it's also a desire to see another side of him.

Then... they were conquered.

She managed to squeeze out the words, "...I understand."
Hearing the answer he wanted, Tang Song smiled and kissed her lips.

"Good girl. I like you just the way you are."

"Tonight, you are just my audience. You can applaud and praise, but you are not allowed to make any unnecessary movements."

"Otherwise, I'll get angry."

His lips were warm and soft, yet possessed an irresistible power, slowly grinding and savoring, as if surveying a territory he had conquered.

Anne leaned against him, forced yet resigned to the situation.

Looking at his face and his deep eyes.

A tingling, electric current, stronger than ever before, suddenly exploded from where their lips met, instantly engulfing her entire body!

Her mind went blank, her long eyelashes trembled incessantly, and finally she slowly closed her eyes.

"Yes, Master."

So, what do you want me to do next?
