Full charm points, inherit game assets

Chapter 621 Head-to-Head, Director Jin and Ms. Ouyang

Water bar area.

"That's Meng Chuan? Wow, he's even more handsome in person than in photos!"

"Who is he? I've never seen him before. Is he from out of town?"

"Ziqin, don't be ridiculous. He's not from our circle. He's a scion of a wealthy family from Singapore. I heard he's only 28 and already the Asia-Pacific head of 'Xinghan Investment'..."

...

With a grand reception from Tian Cheng-ye.

The young people near the bar were also whispering among themselves about the newly emerged figure.

Soon, news about Meng Chuan's identity and background spread rapidly within this small circle, eliciting suppressed gasps from them.

They were just invited to the birthday party and had never heard of such a "big shot" being there before.

For a moment, many people's eyes revealed an undisguised longing and curiosity.

They are all just "prospective heirs" who have just begun to get involved in the family business, and their assets are at most in the billions.

"Who is that foreigner next to him? He looks very arrogant."

Ni Qingli shook her head, holding her wine glass: "I don't know, but his status must be extraordinary. Look, even Meng Chuan is so polite to him."

"These two are so handsome. Do you think I should go and chat them up later and ask for their contact information?" a girl said eagerly.

"I still think Xiaojing's boyfriend is more handsome and has more charisma."

"That's true. Tang Song's character really gives off the feeling of a two-dimensional male god coming to life."

As soon as these words were spoken, their gazes involuntarily turned in unison towards the direction where Tang and Song were.

He stood quietly beside the floral arrangement table, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

His profile was deep and clear under the light, his expression focused and composed, as if all the noise of the outside world had nothing to do with him.

He didn't do anything intentionally, yet he naturally exuded a powerful aura.

It seemed that even Meng Chuan's presence had no effect on him.

Qin Hua, who had been somewhat absent-minded, also looked up as everyone else gazed at her.

When his gaze fell on Tang Song, it became incredibly complicated.

I'm still a bit stunned. My best friend Xiaojing's boyfriend is actually the owner of Lanfeng International Hotel.

A billionaire under 26 years old.

The key is his aura, which is simply too...unbelievable.

At this moment.

Suddenly, a louder, more suppressed clamor, even stronger than before, rang in my ears.

Qin Hua immediately came to her senses.

They saw Tian Chengye and his father, among others, with expressions of excitement and enthusiasm bordering on irrationality, all crowding around the young white man.

Immediately afterwards, Ni Qingli and the others also looked over in surprise.

Soon, through whispers among insiders, key pieces of information spread rapidly through the crowd like ripples.

"Bank of New York Mellon..."

"...The Mellon family..."

"...Wall Street...America's top financial tycoons..."

These words seemed to come from another world to the young people present.

Most of them were sent abroad by their parents to study, some even majoring in economics and finance.

They naturally understand the weight behind these names.

Qin Hua's face showed an expression of extreme astonishment.

Staring blankly at the elegant yet slightly arrogant young white man, I felt my breathing become difficult.

She is a career-minded person; otherwise, she wouldn't have considered competing with her brother for the inheritance of Zhongcheng Group.

She attended New York University's Stern School of Business in the United States, where she majored in economics.

What is the New York Mellon family?
It is the backbone of the global financial system, the custodian of assets for countless hedge funds and sovereign wealth funds, and the apex of the capital world pyramid.

In class, she had encountered this name countless times in case studies, and had also dreamed countless times of the view from the top of Wall Street capital.

But in the end, it was just a thought.

Little did she expect that she would meet a real member of the Mellon family at her best friend's birthday party today.

"Drawing, come here right now!"

Her thoughts were interrupted by her father Qin Dechang's slightly anxious call.

She snapped out of her daze and quickly walked over.

"Dad, Uncle Tian."

“Come here, Huahua,” Qin Dechang pulled his daughter to his side and introduced her with a hint of pride, “This is my daughter, Qin Hua. She studied at NYU Stern School of Business and her English is quite good. Huahua, Mr. Mellon’s Chinese isn’t very good, so could you help us translate?”

He paused, then added, as if explaining or implying, "Mr. Meng and Mr. Mellon are, after all, distinguished guests. We can't keep making them accommodate us all the time."

Qin Hua's heart skipped a beat, and her face flushed with excitement.

She knew that her father was creating an opportunity for her.

At tonight's "special" birthday party, Meng Chuan and Mellon were undoubtedly the most important figures.

If she can showcase herself and build connections with such top-tier individuals, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to her career development.

Qin Hua immediately suppressed all the turmoil in her heart, put on a polite smile, and greeted Meng Chuan first.

Then, somewhat nervously, she said, "Mr. Mellon, it's a pleasure to meet you..." (Mr. Mellon, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Qin Hua, and I'm very happy to have you in Yancheng.)
Conrad Mellon sized up the exquisitely made-up Asian girl in front of him, his gaze lingering for a moment.

A faint smile curved her lips as she replied in English, "Ms. Qin, it's a pleasure to meet you too. Your English is excellent, and you're very beautiful."

This compliment, though polite, carries a hint of superiority over inferiority.

Tian Chengye glanced at Qin Hua, who was talking with Meng Chuan and Conrad, and his eyes flickered.

He certainly understood Qin Dechang's meaning: he hoped that Qin's paintings would gain their favor and then have a more in-depth development.

He glanced at Tang Song and his daughter's positions, his eyes flickering, and sighed inwardly.

Although he settled down in Yancheng and achieved great success locally, he still had limitations.

In his forties, at the peak of his life, he also dreamed of leading his family to continue climbing the social ladder.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken such a huge risk to go all in on the new energy sector, which he wasn't entirely familiar with.

Undoubtedly, a top-tier family business successor in the Asia-Pacific region like Meng Chuan is the "ladder" he has always dreamed of.

He had several contacts with the other party and inquired about their character; overall, they were very outstanding.

Moreover, it can quickly extricate him from his current predicament.

However, that's clearly impossible now.

...

With Qin Hua as the "icebreaker".

Other bolder second-generation female heiresses, who also had overseas study experience, immediately mustered up their courage and surrounded them.

They chatted excitedly with the two "VIPs" in English, some fluent and some halting.

Faced with this group of young and beautiful girls.

Meng Chuan maintained his elegant and refined gentlemanly demeanor throughout, speaking with wit and humor that drew laughter from the girls.

It creates a lively atmosphere without sacrificing style.

Conrad Mellon, on the other hand, was much more detached, his gaze always carrying a scrutinizing and playful quality.

After all, for him, it was just an ordinary social party that took place in a foreign country.

More than anything, they hope to find some fun outside of work.

They completely occupied the social center of the banquet hall.

……

Next to the floral arrangement table.

Xiao Jing looked at Meng Chuan and his companion, who were surrounded by everyone like stars around the moon, and couldn't help but purse her lips slightly, feeling a pang of annoyance.

Finally, Lord Tang Song made his grand entrance like a god, becoming the main character of the entire event.

Then those two guys popped up and stole all the limelight!
She had originally planned that even if Meng Chuan came, she could use Shangguan Qiuyue and Zheng Qiudong's identities to launch a powerful counterattack later.

But who would have thought that old Zheng would still be late!
When she goes on stage to give her thanks, even if Shangguan Qiuyue's identity is revealed, the impact will be limited.

After all, Sister Shangguan is ultimately just Director Jin's assistant, not Director Jin himself.

However, if Kim Mi-so from Smile Holdings were to appear, wouldn't that be just like an empress unleashing her "Conqueror's Haki"?

They all had to step aside; it was like the sky was falling and the earth was cracking.

After all, she was a true darling of the business world, standing at the pinnacle of success.

As if she had thought of something, Xiaojing secretly glanced at her boyfriend beside her.

He remained as calm and collected as ever, as if the bustling and noisy "world of fame and fortune" outside had nothing to do with him.

He didn't even take Meng Chuan and the others seriously; his occasional glances at them revealed only a deep-seated indifference and composure.

However… he does bear some resemblance to the arrogant and domineering Director Kim in her memory.

Looking at this godlike posture, Shizuka felt as if she were being gently scratched by countless feathers.

It feels itchy, astringent, and watery.

After seeing her mother, Chen Man, leave with the group of wealthy women, she couldn't help but move even closer to him.

"Xiao Jing." Tang Song's clear and pleasant voice suddenly rang in her ear.

Xiao Jing quickly looked up, instantly suppressing her own thoughts, and sweetly replied, "Yes, Song!"

Their eyes met, and she met a pair of deep, unfathomable eyes that held a hint of scrutiny.

In that instant, Xiaojing felt as if she had been completely stripped naked.

She felt completely exposed, and couldn't help but squeeze her legs together.

Tang Song reached out and wrapped his arm around her slender waist without giving her any resistance. His voice was deep and aloof: "Is there something you're hiding from me?"

"No, no, I didn't." Xiaojing pressed her legs together, her eyes welling up with tears.

That voice, that aura, that sense of oppression... it's simply... too powerful.

Looking at his abnormal, rich, and beautiful friend, Tang Song's lips curled up into a barely perceptible smile.

He squeezed her waist hard with his fingers.

"Ah!" Xiao Jing let out a suppressed moan, a sound that was hard to tell if it was pain or pleasure, her voice soft and sweet, "Song...I..."

The sudden punishment, coupled with Tang Song's current demeanor, almost made her collapse to the ground.

Tang Song looked into her eyes, her tone still indifferent: "Has something happened to Uncle Tian? And what about Lin Jingming and Meng Chuan today...?"

Based on his current state, his words, the reactions of those present, and his observations of Xiao Jing, he has already guessed a lot.

He also realized that he seemed to have misjudged Xiaojing before.

I originally thought she just had some cute but quirky little hobbies, and that she was still a well-behaved and sweet person.

But after observing her just now, and recalling some details of their interactions that he had previously overlooked, he suddenly realized that she was far from being as innocent as she seemed.

"Not going to speak?" Tang Song's voice grew even colder. "So, you want to be 'punished'?"

Xiao Jing's body trembled even more violently, but her eyes shone with excitement and longing.

She bit her lower lip, speaking in a tone that was aggrieved and as if she had been forced into a corner.

He proactively "confessed": "My dear Ma Sai, Brother Tang Song, I...I was wrong."

Yes, it was Dad... He specially invited Meng Chuan and Lin Jingming so that I could 'interact' with them at the birthday party, giving me more options...

The reason is... Huineng Electronics, which my father invested in, is facing a major crisis and is on the verge of bankruptcy. Lin Jingming and Meng Chuan can save it...

I'm sorry, Brother Tang Song, I'm so sorry..."

Xiao Jing's voice was very low, and only the two of them could hear it.

It looks just like a kitten that has done something wrong and is confessing and begging its owner for forgiveness.

Tang Song's expression remained unchanged; he simply asked calmly, "Anything else?"

"I...no...ah!" Xiao Jing felt a sharp pain on her skin as she faced away from the flower arrangement table.

A sickly flush rose uncontrollably to her cheeks, and her eyes became glazed over.

This kind of punishment, carried out secretly in front of everyone, was simply irresistible to her.

Tang Song lowered his head slightly, enjoying Xiao Jing's trembling reaction, and whispered in her ear: "It seems you are not being honest. We'll have a good talk tonight. I will teach you to correct your mistakes one by one."

"Yes, yes, Lord Tang Song..."

Xiao Jing accidentally revealed her nickname from the fantasy world again, and she was so excited that she could hardly stand up.

Just then, two waitresses walked gracefully over, carrying silver trays.

They wore matching, well-tailored hotel uniforms and simple silver masks, their steps elegant and synchronized.

One of the waiters walked up to Tang Song and bowed slightly.

She handed over the champagne on the tray, her voice clear and melodious, "Mr. Tang, this is a Perrier-Jouët specially prepared for you."

Tang Song casually picked up a cup, his slender fingers forming an elegant contrast with the cool cup.

His gaze met hers, a mixture of curiosity and nervousness emanating from her eyes through the gaps in her mask.

She nodded slightly, her voice calm: "Thank you."

The waitress blushed slightly, quickly looked away, and turned to leave with her companion.

Tang Song watched their graceful backs, lowered his head and took a sip of champagne, the bubbles bursting delicately on his tongue.

The one just now was Pei Yanke, whom I had met once before, and the other one should be Xiao Meiqi from the Echo girl group.

His gaze swept across the banquet hall almost imperceptibly.

Soon, three more equally "out of place" figures were spotted near the bar and dessert station.

As top-tier celebrities and idols, their posture, gaze, temperament, and the way they maintain their composure in front of the camera at all times are unmatched by ordinary waiters.

Tang Song had previously browsed their information online, and now, under these special circumstances, each person's information could be instantly matched with the real person. He only needed a moment's thought to understand the arrangement behind their appearance.

It was probably the work of Su Yu and Mo Xiangwan.

Seeing the waiter leave, Xiao Jing, holding a champagne glass, bit her lip.

Just as he was about to say something more to further provoke Tang Song's "punishment," his expression suddenly hardened.

Meng Chuan, who was surrounded by a crowd not far away, had already turned his gaze over the crowd.

Immediately afterwards, everyone, including Tian Chengye and Qin Hua, turned around and walked towards them.

Xiao Jing immediately transformed back into the sweet, well-behaved, and wealthy beauty she always was.

He greeted the approaching crowd with a smile.

"Come, come, Mr. Meng Chuan, Mr. Mellon." Tian Chengye walked enthusiastically at the front. "This is my daughter, Tian Jing."

Meng Chuan's gaze, however, first fell on Tang Song, who stood beside Xiao Jing and possessed an exceptional temperament.

He paused for a moment, a subtle, unusual look flashing in his eyes.

Then, he turned his gaze to the leading lady of the evening, a bright and confident smile spreading across his face: "Ms. Tian, ​​happy birthday. You are much more beautiful and charming in person than in the photos."

As he spoke, he casually clasped his hands together in front of him.

When I opened my hand again, I found a beautifully designed Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet that shimmered with dazzling light in my palm.

The entire movement was graceful and natural, full of the fluidity and elegance of a magician.

It instantly drew gasps and admiring glances from the girls around him.

"Thank you." Xiaojing smiled and nodded.

"May I trouble the beautiful heroine to extend her hand so I can place this small blessing upon you?"

Meng Chuan smiled, his tone gentle and courteous, exuding a gentlemanly charm that was hard to refuse.

However, Xiaojing did not immediately reach out her hand.

She turned her head and looked at Tang Song beside her, meeting his deep and calm eyes.

"Thank you, Mr. Meng. This gift is too precious. I'll keep it for now and wear it later."

With Tian Jing's sudden refusal, the atmosphere at the scene instantly became extremely awkward.

Tian Chengye's mind raced with conflicting thoughts, and he took a deep breath.

A decision was made quickly.

Smiling, she stepped forward, forcefully breaking the awkward atmosphere: "Haha, it's all my fault, I forgot to introduce you both. This is Jingjing's boyfriend, Tang Song. This is Meng Chuan, President Meng, from Xinghan Investment, a top private equity firm in Singapore."

Although he desperately wanted to marry Meng Chuan, he ultimately loved his daughter.

Now that Tang Song's status and strength have demonstrated that he is fully worthy of the position, he will never again force his daughter to do anything she is unwilling to do for his own business interests.

He was also willing to stand up and protect his daughter.

Upon hearing these words, Meng Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gentle gaze gradually turned cold.

Then, he turned his attention to the Tang and Song dynasties.

He put on that noble young man's smile again and waited for the other party to introduce himself.

However, Tang Song simply looked at him calmly, as if waiting for him to "bow his head".

Ha ha.

Meng Chuan sneered inwardly.

Although he appeared to be a man of great manners, he was, after all, from a top-tier family and the heir the family was grooming to be. His arrogance was greater than anyone else's.

He might not care about blind dates or beautiful women, but he would absolutely not stand up for someone who provokes him.
Seeing this confrontational scene.

A fine layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on Tian Chengye's forehead.

The other guests around also held their breath, their faces filled with astonishment.

Meng Chuan's status was undeniable, and he was even standing next to a member of the Mellon family, yet Tang Song acted overly arrogant, even arrogant and disdainful.

This is... way too presumptuous!
Qin Hua glanced at her best friend Xiao Jing, then at Tang Song, a feeling of absurdity and complexity welling up inside her.

Just then, Conrad Mellon, who had been watching this scene with great interest, couldn't help but chuckle.

He patted Meng Chuan on the shoulder, stepped forward, completely ignoring Tang Song, and looked directly at Xiao Jing with his aggressive blue eyes.

He made no attempt to hide his gaze from her fair and beautiful face and her sexy and hot figure.

Then, extending her hand with an air of undeniable authority, she said, "Happy Birthday, Ms. Tian... You are stunningly beautiful. May I have the honor of expressing my admiration?"

Conrad Mellon's provocative actions instantly made the atmosphere in the room even more tense.

But no one dared to speak up at that moment.

Xiao Jing's smile faded, and she simply stood quietly beside Tang Song without reaching out.

It was in this tense standoff that...

In the corner, Shangguan Qiuyue, who had been sitting quietly with Xu Qing the whole time, stood up and walked straight over there.

Look at her back.

Xu Qing smacked her lips, her large, dark eyes sparkling with excitement.

In her eyes, what she was seeing was exactly the plot of the novel she had imagined countless times, now unfolding right before her eyes!

This not only gave her an abundance of creative inspiration, but also... it was so exciting!
In any case, in her eyes, Xiao Songzi in this situation is the most perfect domineering CEO male protagonist in her writing, and he would never suffer the slightest grievance!

...

Seeing that the stalemate was about to become unmanageable, Tian Chengye gritted his teeth and was about to step forward to say something.

Suddenly, Tang Song on the opposite side moved.

He casually turned to the side, picked up a freshly trimmed white rose from the flower tube, and handed it to Xiao Jing's empty hand.

His gaze remained calm as he looked at Conrad, speaking slowly and deliberately: "Mr. Mellon, in our culture, a gentleman would not offer to shake hands with a lady when she has something in her hand, especially when her boyfriend is standing right next to her."

Even when facing Meng Chuan and Conrad.

His demeanor was always impeccable, elegant and noble; his face was always calm and composed.

It seems she treats everyone else no differently.

The people around them began to breathe cautiously.

Surprise, astonishment, shock, schadenfreude, admiration...

All sorts of complex gazes, like spotlights, converged on Tang Song.

“You…”

For the first time, a chilling rage, born of genuine offense, surfaced in Conrad Mellon's usually aloof blue eyes.

He was used to being admired and respected by everyone in any situation.

As a "blue-blooded" individual, he represents the purest WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) elite class.

Arriving at this ordinary birthday party, I subconsciously felt a sense of looking down on others and arrogance stemming from being at the top of the social class.

This unexpected "confrontation," which wasn't in his script, and this "unruly" Eastern man.

It gave him a rare, absurd feeling of being offended.

……

Seeing this, Xiao Jingxin also felt a little nervous and uneasy.

The plot has gone beyond what she wrote in her script.

Tang Song's aura is strong enough, but the other party's family background is too terrifying.

But soon, her eyes lit up!
I saw that figure walking out of the crowd.

My strongest "trump card" is finally about to be played! It's time... to reveal it!

At times like this, only Director Kim's name can keep the situation in check!
"Sister Shangguan!"

Xiao Jing's sweet voice, like a crisp bell, broke the frozen atmosphere.

"Shuashuashua——"

All eyes turned to the woman wearing a silver butterfly mask who was gracefully walking into the crowd.

Doubt, curiosity, astonishment…

They all knew that this woman, whose surname was "Shangguan," had come with Xiaojing's boyfriend.

But after arriving, he didn't interact with anyone much, just sat quietly in the corner.

Nobody knows her.

I don't understand why she had to step forward at this tense moment.

Is he trying to play peacemaker?
Shangguan Qiuyue smiled and nodded at Xiaojing, then stood gracefully and naturally next to Tang Song, leaning slightly forward as she said, "President Tang, Attorney Luo has arrived."

After she finished speaking, her gaze turned to a certain direction outside the crowd.

As she moved, everyone instinctively looked over.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue custom-made suit came into view.

He looked to be in his early forties, with a handsome face and well-defined features.

The simple three-seven parted hairstyle is combed back, giving it a meticulous look.

His steps were steady and confident, his bright and calm eyes swept across the room, and a subtle smile was on his face.

Soon, Luo Bin stopped in front of everyone.

"Good evening, Mr. Tang." He first greeted Tang Song, then turned to Shangguan Qiuyue, "Assistant Shangguan, it's been a long time."

"good evening."

Tang Song nodded slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Long time no see, Attorney Luo." Shangguan Qiuyue responded with a smile, then took off her mask and introduced, "Xiaojing, this is Attorney Luo Bin from Quanjing Law Firm."

"Miss Tian, ​​happy birthday." Luo Bin smiled gently, just the right amount of warmth.
Among the crowd, several people who had some knowledge of the domestic legal community suddenly looked at Luo Bin with astonished expressions.

Tian Chengye's heart pounded wildly.

Quanjing Law Firm is recognized as one of the "Eight Red Circle Law Firms" in China, a top-tier legal giant.

His Zhongcheng Group has many businesses that have in-depth cooperation with Quanjing's Yancheng branch.

Even Huineng Electronics' current contract disputes are handled by Quan Jing.

As the head of such a top global law firm, Chief Partner Luo Bin enjoys immense prestige and reputation.

He simply couldn't match the person in front of him with the one in the news photo.

But... how did Luo Bin end up at his daughter's birthday party?
Moreover, it seems that they had a very good relationship with the Tang and Song dynasties.

Xiao Jing took a deep breath and smiled, "Hello, Attorney Luo, thank you so much for coming to my birthday party."

She was also a little confused. Why was it a senior lawyer who came instead of that old man Zheng from Dejurenhe?
Luo Bin smiled and said, "I'm here today on behalf of Ms. Ouyang from Tangyi Precision to bring you a birthday gift. She appreciates your performance at Tangyi and looks forward to you joining headquarters in the future."

"Ms. Ouyang?!" Xiaojing's eyes widened in disbelief. "...A gift for me?"

She had only met Ouyang Xian Yue once in the capital, and she boldly asked for a photo together.

Even after being parachuted into Tangyi Precision, she never imagined that the other party would remember her, let alone give her a birthday gift.

"Wow—"

Several uncontrollable gasps immediately rose from the crowd, quickly turning into a buzz of discussion.

Most of them didn't know anything about Luo Bin and had no particular feelings about him.

But the name "Ouyang Xian Yue" is absolutely well-known.

Meng Chuan's expression paused slightly, then quickly returned to normal, and he looked at Tian Jing with surprise.

Although he had heard Tian Chengye say that Tian Jing worked at Tangyi Precision.

But she never imagined that she would be able to interact with Ouyang Xian Yue himself, and even receive such attention from him.

He took a deep breath, and for the first time, his expression became serious.

For Xinghan Investment to make progress in the new energy sector in China, Tangyi Precision will always be an unavoidable obstacle.

He made a special trip to Yancheng to inspect the project because of the huge new energy industry chain brought about by Tangyi Precision's branch in Yancheng.

If Tian Jingneng can get involved with Ouyang Xianyue, then he really needs to seriously consider the so-called "blind date".

Luo Bin remained calm, undisturbed by the surrounding atmosphere.

He opened his briefcase, took out a high-quality velvet gift box, and handed it to Xiaojing.

"Because it was Ms. Ouyang's special request, I did not place the gift at the registration area. Please understand."

Because there were so many people attending the birthday party, Xiaojing couldn't collect the gifts one by one, so she put them all away when she signed in.

The following game segment will also include a small activity where participants will be randomly selected and then opened on-site.

"Thank you, Director Luo! And please thank Ms. Ouyang for me too!" Xiao Jing accepted the heavy gift with trembling hands.

Emotionally.

Then, her eyes darted around.

Look at the exceptionally elegant Shangguan Qiuyue beside him, and the shocked expressions of those around him.

A thought suddenly popped into my head.

She originally planned to thank Shangguan Qiuyue when she went on stage to speak, thus "revealing" the other party's identity.

But isn't this the perfect opportunity that comes along once in a lifetime?

She turned to the side, tugged at her still somewhat bewildered father, and deliberately raised her voice a few decibels: "Dad, I haven't properly introduced you yet. This is my and Tang Song's good friend, Shangguan Qiuyue."

She paused, looked around, and said playfully, "Oh, by the way, she also works at Smile Holdings and is Director Jin's personal assistant."

hum-

A brief silence fell over the scene.

Are you kidding me?! She's Kim Mi-so's...personal assistant?
Everyone felt a bit dazed.

It was just a friend's ordinary birthday party, but how did so many "big shots" suddenly appear one after another?

First, there was Lin Jingming, a tech upstart; then Tang Song, the enigmatic hotel owner; Meng Chuan of Xinghan Investment; and Conrad of the Mellon family…

Now, even the legendary female tycoon's personal assistant, Kim Mi-so, has jumped out!
This feels so unreal...
