Full charm points, inherit game assets

Chapter 623 Jingyi Asset Management

Soft jazz music continued to play in the banquet hall.

On one side of the main stage, the "gift blind box" segment was already prepared.

Blind boxes were stacked in a specially arranged area, waiting to be opened.

Xu Qing stood there, staring with her big, dark eyes at the bar area.

Σ(⊙▽⊙"a
How is this going?

She was merely helping Xiaojing with some behind-the-scenes manipulation, secretly placing the gift Tang Song had prepared into the "must-select area."

When I came back, the atmosphere seemed to have changed completely.

Some guests who hadn't noticed the commotion earlier also sensed the eerie silence and stopped what they were doing, quickly walking over.

The noise gradually subsided.

The frozen atmosphere, like an invisible layer of ice, started from the corner of the bar and gradually spread throughout the entire space.

Conrad Mellon, who was always exuding the aura of a Wall Street elite, elegant and arrogant, was now pale, with sweat mixed with hair wax sliding down his stiff cheeks.

His hand, which was holding the wine glass, was trembling slightly uncontrollably.

Beside him, Meng Chuan completely lost his composure, staring dumbfounded in the direction of Tang Song and the others, as if he had seen something utterly unbelievable.

Further out, there are Qin Hua, Tian Chengye, Ni Qingli, Lin Jingming, and others.

Whether wearing a mask or not, they were frozen in place as if under a spell.

A series of gazes, as if drawn by a force, flickered between the blonde beauty and the ever-calm Tang Song, filled with awe, curiosity, and fear.

Annie slowly stopped in front of Tang Song.

Because she deliberately wore high heels, she should have been at eye level.

But at this moment, she clearly felt a sense of being looked down upon—a gaze that originated from instinct and from the top of the power structure, enveloping her entire body from top to bottom.

That familiar feeling of "loss of control," which had appeared countless times around Tang Song, rose uncontrollably in her heart once again.

She gritted her teeth, a complex light flashing in her icy blue eyes.

That despicable man! He didn't even try to comfort her! Not even for a moment!
God knows, Anne-Kate is the most sought-after Alpha Queen in Manhattan, London, and any top social event!

Compared to Tian Jing, the wealthy and beautiful woman from this small town, she felt that she was the one who should enjoy this "honor".

The pride that belongs to an Alpha, the unwillingness to completely bow down, made her meet his gaze for two seconds.

But it only lasted two seconds before she moved away again.

Seemingly feeling a little embarrassed, Annie suddenly stepped forward and gave Tang Song a warm and forceful hug.

Her voice carried a hint of feigned intimacy and coquettishness: "Okay, darling, I'm here. Is there anything you need?"

Tang Song neither praised nor comforted her, but simply looked at her calmly and said indifferently, "Sit down."

Xiaojing's friends looked at each other in bewilderment in the banquet hall.

You know, this is Tian Jing's birthday party.

A hug on stage? And with a "darling" tone?
Anyone else would have been ridiculed, but this woman has a mysterious identity, an overwhelming aura, and is a foreigner.

The crowd could only suppress their doubts and forcefully interpret it as "foreigners have different ways of expressing themselves."

Of course, more importantly, they dared not voice their opinions.

Even Tian Chengye didn't focus on the trivial matter of "Tang Song being embraced by another woman".

His gaze swept across Tang Song, Zheng Qiudong, Wu Kezhi, Annie, and other people, his expression shifting constantly.

Zheng Qiudong certainly knew that he was a "top influencer" in the business world when it came to IP management.

The others were clearly more powerful than he had imagined.

Especially that Ms. Kate, who should be the "Kate" he knows.

What about the Tang and Song dynasties?

Putting aside why he would know such a person, the almost "commanding" tone he just displayed, and "Ms. Kate's" obedience, are already quite unbelievable.

Things had far exceeded his comprehension.

He even felt like he was dreaming today.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Annie slowly released Tang Song.

His gaze shifted and landed on Xiao Jing, who seemed somewhat dazed and confused.

Her body leaned slightly forward, a movement that used her tall and robust frame to block the view of others, creating a small, oppressive space.

From that angle, only Xiaojing and a few other people around could see it.

Anne looked down at her, a sweet yet threatening smile slowly curving her lips.

Those full, snow-white E-cup breasts were almost touching Xiaojing's face, exerting a direct and overwhelming advantage with an absolute physiological superiority belonging to a top female.

Then, she spoke in slightly halting but exceptionally clear Chinese.

She said, enunciating each word clearly, "Hello, Tian Jing. I am Anne Kate. You can call me Sister Anne."

She emphasized the word "sister" a little.

After the reactions from Meng Chuan, Conrad Mellon, and others, she is now riding high.

A cold gaze, an oppressive aura.

It was as if Xiaojing was being silently "tortured" and "bullied".

Annie looked at the well-behaved and sweet "little girl" with amusement, waiting for her interesting reaction.

Luo Bin, Wu Kezhi, Mo Xiangwan, and the others consciously averted their gazes, seemingly taking in their surroundings.

Zheng Qiudong's eyes flickered, and he was somewhat worried.

The "partner" he chose was himself a delicate flower that had grown up in a greenhouse.

As far as he knew, one of Annie's purposes in coming to Yancheng this time was to give Xiao Jing a warning.

After all, the idea of ​​a wedding dress and a ring does sound outrageous.

He worried that Xiaojing would become hesitant and fearful under Anne Kate's pressure, making it difficult to implement many of his plans.

However, Xiaojing, in this situation, seemed to have some kind of switch flipped.

All the unease and panic in my heart were suppressed.

A blush rose on Xiaojing's face.

She said in a sweet voice, "Hello, Sister Annie."

As she spoke, Xiao Jing opened her arms and hugged the blonde, big-breasted foreign woman, even applying a little force.

A C-cup is instantly deformed by the force of an E-cup.

Zheng Qiudong and the others were all taken aback, their expressions varying.

Annie's blue eyes widened for a moment, as if she had punched a piece of soft cotton.

Not only did it have no effect, but the other party's strange enthusiasm made me feel uncomfortable.

This seemingly well-behaved and obedient "little girl" is actually more skilled than I imagined.

Immediately afterwards, she noticed, from an angle unknown to others, Xiao Jing's eyes, which were filled with a strange excitement and burning intensity.

She... seems really off.

Annie's eye twitched suddenly, and she immediately let go of Xiaojing, looking at Tang Song with a strange expression.

At this moment, Tang and Song were enjoying the scene before them with great interest.

In the [Reflection] state, he seemed to be able to clearly "see" the turbulent emotions surging deep within the hearts of the two women.

Anne's provocation, her demonstration, and her current astonishment.

And Xiaojing's perverted and twisted desires hidden beneath the surface.

Xiao Jing's thought process was indeed unusual, and even more interesting than he had imagined.

He glanced at the tall, voluptuous, and arrogant foreign woman, then at the slender, graceful, and well-behaved fair-skinned rich and beautiful woman.

A strange smile appeared on his lips.

Annie's heart skipped a beat, and she sat down next to Xiao Jing.

Of course, everything that just happened happened in the blink of an eye.

To outsiders, this scene appears as follows.

It was simply a harmonious scene where a passionate blonde beauty took the initiative to show her affection to Xiao Jing, and Xiao Jing generously returned the gesture with a warm embrace.

At this moment, Tian Chengye finally recovered.

He glanced at his daughter, who seemed quite capable of "holding the situation in place".

She glanced again at the "future son-in-law" beside her, who remained calm and unfathomable.

A warm and friendly smile returned to his face.

He is, after all, a seasoned businessman, a billionaire, and the father of Tian Jing, the protagonist of tonight's birthday party.

After a brief moment of lapse in composure, he quickly regained his composure.

Regardless of what you just saw, the most important thing is to figure out who these people are.

Tian Chengye walked quickly to the edge of the booth area, bowed slightly to the crowd, and spoke in a friendly and enthusiastic tone:
"Welcome, welcome! Are you all friends of Tang Song? I am Jingjing's father, Tian Chengye. Thank you all so much for taking the time to attend my daughter's birthday party. It's truly an honor!"

"Hello, Mr. Tian." "Hello."

The three people besides Annie all nodded politely.

However, Zheng Qiudong appeared exceptionally enthusiastic.

He stood up abruptly, his face bearing his signature, charming smile.

He stepped forward and shook hands with Tian Chengye, his tone humble and polite: "Mr. Tian, ​​you are too kind. I have long heard that you are one of the leading figures in Yancheng's business community, and meeting you today, I can see that your reputation is well-deserved."

Hearing this and feeling the other person's enthusiasm, Tian Chengye's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly settled down.

The smile on his face became even brighter.

"Chairman Zheng, I've long admired your name!" He shook Zheng Qiudong's hand firmly and said with emotion, "Dejurenhe is now the 'think tank' we talk about most often..."

Their warm greetings were like a breeze, dispelling the icy atmosphere in the banquet hall.

The crowd gradually recovered from the shock of what had just happened.

Suppressed murmurs rose again in the room.

“Painting…” Ni Qingli gasped, her voice hoarse as she whispered, “Xiao Jing’s boyfriend… what… is going on with him?”

"I-I don't know either."

Qin Hua shook her head blankly, staring blankly at the location where Tang Song and the others were.

She was standing right next to it and witnessed the bizarre, almost absurd, reversal.

In his mind, what kept replaying was Conrad Mellon's terrified retreat and Meng Chuan's undisguised loss of composure.

And that trembling name they used—

"Ms. Kate".

Kate…the Kate family…

This possibility sent shivers down her spine, making her hair stand on end.

at this time.

Conrad Mellon, who had been standing in front of her with a deathly pale face, suddenly moved.

He ignored the gazes of anyone around him, took a deep breath, as if he had made an extremely important decision.

He turned around, picked up a brand new glass of champagne, and walked towards the blonde woman step by step, with utmost solemnity.

He stopped beside Anne's seat but didn't speak immediately.

Instead, he first bowed slightly to Anne to show the utmost respect.

After doing all this, he finally managed to say with difficulty, "Lady Anne!"

"Please accept my deepest apologies for my rashness and ignorance just now."
He paused, as if organizing his thoughts, his voice trembling slightly, a tremor he himself was unaware of.

“My current business involves many projects of the Kate Trust in Europe. I swear, if I had known it was you… I would never have…”

Conrad was sweating profusely, and his voice grew softer and softer.

He was just a member of a collateral branch of the Mellon family, who might appear glamorous to outsiders.

But compared to Anne-Kate, a true and powerful core heir to the family, it's a completely different story.

Annie glanced at him indifferently and said coldly, "Stand back, I hate the smell of you."

Conrad's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly moved away.

He suddenly remembered that there were rumors in the circle that this Ms. Anne really disliked contact with men and was more interested in women.

Looking at this scene before me, and listening to Conrad's words.

Everyone murmured.

The news about the special family name "Kate" and the terrifying business empire it represents spread like wildfire among the guests.

As a top conglomerate that has existed for nearly a century, the Kate family's influence is so profound that it has spread throughout the world.

Those present, more or less, had heard of this renowned surname through some means.

Qin Hua's body swayed suddenly, and she almost dropped the champagne glass in her hand.

The Kate Trust…it really is the Kate family!

First Melon, then Kate.

That wasn't a term from the news, nor a case study from a textbook; it was a living family member.

She showed up at her best friend's birthday party.

Moreover, the distinguished Ms. Kate was sitting intimately with Xiaojing, and they had just hugged and chatted.

Just then, Meng Chuan, who was standing next to her, also moved.

Rapid footsteps sounded.

He strode quickly toward the booth area, which was as calm as the eye of the storm.

However, his target was not the much-anticipated Tang Song or Annie.

Instead, it was the middle-aged man who sat calmly and composedly in the corner.

Because Tang Song and Annie's appearance and aura are so striking, many people haven't paid much attention to him.

As Meng Chuan made his sudden movement, everyone turned to look.

Meng Chuan carefully positioned himself to the side and slightly behind the man, bending down slightly.

Due to excessive nervousness and excitement, his voice trembled slightly: "Hello, Mr. Wu, it's an honor to meet you here. I am Meng Chuan from Xinghan Investment. My father is Meng Dehai. Last month, when I accompanied my father to the Asia-Pacific Fintech Summit, I had a brief encounter with you. I wonder if you remember me?"

"Hello."

Wu Kezhi nodded slightly, his voice steady and powerful, revealing no emotion.

The crowd watching the commotion was once again taken aback.

Where the hell did this...this incredible being come from?!

Wu Kezhi didn't pay much attention to Meng Chuan, but instead turned his attention back to Tang Song.

His eyes flickered with a thoughtful look, as if he were pondering something.

Standing to his side and slightly behind, Meng Chuan felt countless probing gazes upon him, and the smile on his face gradually turned awkward. He didn't know whether to leave or stay.

He and Conrad had previously clashed with Tang Song, and later, by a twist of fate, offended Anne Kate.

If we leave in such a disgraceful manner now, we might face joint "targeting" from both sides in the future.

Xinghan Investment is powerful, but it depends on who you compare it to!
He had to find a way to break the deadlock, ease the tension, and find a way out.

Immediately, his gaze fell on Tian Chengye, who was looking at him with a look of astonishment not far away, recalling the attitude of Wu Kezhi and others towards him earlier.

A thought flashed through his mind in an instant.

He strode up to Tian Chengye, a perfectly measured hint of excitement on his face. "Chairman Tian, ​​didn't you say before that you'd like to come to Singapore with me to visit Jingwu Capital?"

He paused, then pointed excitedly to the composed middle-aged man in the corner of the booth, his tone becoming more forceful:

"This is Mr. Wu Kezhi, co-founder, chairman of the board and global CEO of Jingwu Capital!"

“Jingwu Capital?! Wu Kezhi?!” Tian Chengye blurted out, his heart pounding.

There was a moment of silence, followed by a series of loud exclamations.

In the 2022 global private equity firm rankings, Jingwu Capital has already ranked among the top ten.

It is now rumored that its assets under management have reached nearly $3000 billion.

Its business spans multiple sectors including private equity, hedge funds, real estate, and special opportunities investments, with a reach extending to major global capital markets.

This is not a derivative background of any top family scion.

Unlike the gifts from Ms. Ouyang and the assistant from Director Jin, which carried a mysterious aura of "indirect awe," these gifts were not like those from the past.

This is a power that can truly be quantified.

A capital tycoon who can directly determine the life or death of a company and control the flow of hundreds of billions of dollars.

And at this moment, he suddenly appeared here, sitting opposite Tang Song.

Qin Hua looked at the "big shots" such as Wu Kezhi, Anne Kate, and Zheng Qiudong, at Tang Song who remained calm and composed, and at her best friend Xiao Jing whose face was "rosy".

A dreamlike, utterly unreal feeling welled up inside me.

Immediately following was a deep-seated regret.

What she regrets is not just her previous self-righteous attempts to "break up" and "confront" others.

What she regretted even more was that she missed the best opportunity to establish contact with Tang and Song.

Even at the very beginning of the banquet, the moment she realized Tang Song's extraordinary nature, if she had quickly adjusted her mindset and approached Tang Song as "Xiao Jing's best friend"... with her own excellent qualities and emotional intelligence, she could have definitely established a friendly relationship with him quickly.

But at that time—

She was completely focused on Conrad Mellon.

He was smug about being able to act as "Mr. Mellon's" translator, enjoying the envious glances from everyone.

...

In the booth area.

Meng Chuan pulled Tian Chengye aside and began to warmly greet Wu Kezhi.

With the buffer of Tian Jing's father's identity, Wu Kezhi behaved much more politely than before.

The atmosphere became slightly more harmonious.

Seeing this, Meng Chuan quickly picked up a glass of champagne, went to Conrad who was still standing stiffly to the side, gently nudged him with his elbow, and gave him a look.

Conrad snapped out of his daze and looked stiffly at Tang Song, who remained calm and composed to the side.

I finally understand what I should do.

He took a deep breath, his face showing solemnity and humility.

Together with Meng Chuan, they stopped a step away from Tang Song, each holding a wine glass.

Meng Chuan spoke first, saying, "Mr. Tang, I was blind to your greatness before and my words were offensive. I hope you... will be magnanimous and not hold it against me."

Conrad Mellon followed up, saying, "Mr. Tang, please forgive my unforgivable rudeness."

After they finished speaking, they drank their champagne in one gulp and then bowed deeply.

With their "unusual movements".

With their sudden "movement," the entire banquet hall instantly fell silent.

All eyes were on Tang Song, awaiting his reaction.

Tang Song remained leaning back in his chair, merely glancing at them indifferently.

There was no anger, no joy, no pride in his eyes, not even a trace of emotion.

So calm... it was like looking at two insignificant pieces of furniture.

Then, he elegantly picked up a cherry from the table and slowly brought it to his girlfriend's lips.

Xiao Jing, who was looking at him with an adorable expression and her cute mouth slightly open, subconsciously bit down.

The rich, sweet juice spread throughout my mouth.

Soft lips touched Tang Song's long, slender fingers with distinct joints.

In such a special atmosphere, looking at the Tang Song Lord beside me who seemed like a "god", and feeling the slightly cool touch of his "god-like hand".

An indescribable thrill sent goosebumps up all over her body.

Ahhh! Lord Tang Song!

This is... this is the aura of the final boss when he appears!

So handsome! He's so handsome my legs are weak!
I want to... I want to kneel down right now and offer my loyalty!

On the other side, Xu Qing sneaked over from the other side of the stage.

Looking at Xiao Songzi, who had transformed into the "Ultimate WarGreymon," he forgot to put the melon-eating biscuit in his hand into his mouth.

A deep sense of annoyance flashed in those large, dark eyes.

That awful Songzi! He's a monster to me! But to Xiaojing, he transforms into a "domineering CEO"!
I'll make sure you get slapped in the face in the book, and then you'll be begging me to save you!
...

Standing there bent over, Meng Chuan and Conrad's faces flushed red and then turned pale, extremely embarrassed, yet they didn't know what to do.

The other party was clearly ignoring them completely.

The subtext is.

I have heard your apologies and repentance, but you have no right to make me waste my breath on you.

at this time.

A soft "click" sound.
Shangguan Qiuyue put the wine glass back on the table.

Smiling, she reminded Xiaojing, who was still feeling dizzy, "Xiaojing, it's almost time. Shouldn't we move on to the part you've been most looking forward to?"

She came here not to "show off" or "put on a show," but to perfectly execute every task assigned by Director Jin.

Xiao Jing's eyes flickered, and she immediately came to her senses. "Oh dear! I almost forgot about something so important!"

She quickly stood up, clapped her hands crisply, and attracted everyone's attention.

"Next up is our most fun part of the night, the 'Love Blind Box' segment!"

She waved playfully toward the main stage.

The host immediately understood and returned to the stage, his enthusiastic voice echoing in the banquet hall, calming everyone's emotions.

Accompanied by cheerful music, the crowd began to gather towards the main stage.

Once Tang Song and the others had blended into the crowd, Meng Chuan and Conrad finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Conrad subconsciously touched his bow tie, only to find that the back of his shirt was already soaked with cold sweat.

He glanced at Meng Chuan with lingering fear and said something in a very low voice.

Meng Chuan's face turned deathly pale, and he nodded heavily.

Then, the two quietly left the birthday party.

……

The atmosphere in front of the main stage was both enthusiastic and somewhat eerie.

The crowd subconsciously left a "vacuum" area for Tang Song and his group.

Qin Dechang and several senior business figures tried to approach him several times, but were deterred by his invisible aura and could only stand awkwardly on the outside.

Accompanied by lights and music, Xiao Jing gracefully walked onto the stage.

The gifts from everyone had been packed into uniform, light-colored cardboard boxes and placed on the right side of the stage.

There are no markings on it.

A high-definition camera was mounted on a table in the center of the stage, projecting her every move onto the huge LED screen behind her in real time.

Following the host's guidance.

Soon, the first blind box was selected and opened.

It was a brand new DIOR necklace from her friend Zhang Yuxin.

At the host's prompting, the crowd cheered and applauded enthusiastically.

Next, Xiaojing seemed to casually point to a box in the lower right corner.

The hostess immediately handed the box over.

Xiaojing placed the gift on the table in the center of the stage, her heart racing uncontrollably.

She knew that this was a gift from the Tang and Song dynasties.

In addition to the gifts Tang Song had prepared, she had secretly added something extra to the box—

A ring that symbolizes eternal love.

In her original final script, she would open the gift under the spotlight and then shyly and excitedly "discover" the ring.

She accepted the official declaration from the Tang and Song dynasties, thus completing the final coronation of her status as the "Empress"!
The reason he brought Xu Qing over, and even used her to help him get in, was because of this kind of perverse pleasure.

If Tang Song gets angry afterward because of her scheming... then he can just "punish" her severely afterwards!

But now... she doesn't dare.

Although she appears naive, she is smarter than anyone else.

Anne Kate, Wu Kezhi, Zheng Qiudong...

The appearance of these people made her understand many, many things.

It also made her realize that Tang Song was the real, ultimate boss hiding behind all the fog.

Before, he was just "traveling through the world".

Xiao Jing may indeed be an important "leading lady" in his heart, but... she is only one of them.

For example, that domineering and crazy foreign woman is definitely her most formidable rival in this life!
If I dared to force Tang and Song to "officially announce their marriage proposal" under such circumstances of being surrounded by wolves...

The consequences would likely be dire.

Moreover, given Tang Song's current resources and status...

Even if I don't get married, I guess my parents won't have any objections.

Xiao Jing bit her lip and quickly suppressed all her inappropriate thoughts.

Tear open the seal on the cardboard box, ignoring the ring gift box, and take out an exquisite and beautiful gold gift box, gently placing it on the table in the center of the stage.

The high-definition camera gave a close-up shot, and the paper pasted on it clearly read: Tang and Song Dynasties.

Everyone's spirits lifted, and their eyes were fixed intently on the golden box.

Now that they know Xiaojing's boyfriend is mysterious and unpredictable, they are extremely curious about what gift he will give them.

Xiaojing's face showed a shy yet expectant expression. "Wow, how lucky! They actually chose the one I was most looking forward to!"

Under everyone's gaze.

She took a deep breath, her slender fingers untied the ribbon, and opened the box.

next second.

Not only the audience members, but even Xiaojing herself was stunned.

(ω)！

Tian Chengye and his wife Chen Man exchanged a glance, both seeing deep astonishment in each other's eyes.

What lies quietly in the gift box is not some rare jewel, nor a limited edition designer bag, nor a thoughtful handmade item.

Instead, it was a thick, neatly bound stack of documents.

The watermark logo of "Quanjing Law Firm" is clearly printed in the lower left corner of the title page.

What's happening here?
A barely suppressed commotion erupted from the audience, with people whispering amongst themselves, their faces filled with surprise and confusion.

Xiaojing blinked and subconsciously looked at her boyfriend directly below the stage.

Tang Song stood there gracefully, a faint, encouraging smile on his face.

Deep within her eyes was a light as profound as the starry sky, a light she could not fathom.

Only after receiving his "signal" did Xiaojing take a deep breath and curiously turn to the first page of the document.

A bolded title suddenly appeared in her line of sight and then on the big screen on the stage via a high-definition camera.

Equity Transfer Agreement Regarding "Jingyi Asset Management (Beijing) Co., Ltd."

Tian Chengye froze on the spot, feeling as if his heart was being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand, almost stopping its beating!
"Wow—"

Uncontrollable murmurs and exclamations arose.

It exploded in the banquet hall like a tidal wave.

Even if you don't know the specifics of "Jingyi Assets", just looking at the words "asset management company" and "equity transfer agreement" will make you understand.

You'll then understand how unique this gift is.

Not to mention, many of the people present today knew, to some extent, that Tian Chengye had sold 7.5% of Jinxiu Commerce's shares to this mysterious company in order to fill the financial hole.

At this moment, when these key pieces of information instantly connect in my mind.

They all gasped in unison, their faces showing utter disbelief.

Followed by.

Even more impactful information appeared on the big screen.

------

Summary of core terms:

Subject of transfer: 100% equity of "Jingyi Asset Management (Beijing) Co., Ltd.", to be transferred to Party B (Tian Jing).

……

Core Asset Disclosure: As of the date of signing this agreement, the core assets held by the target company (Jingyi Asset Management) are 112,500,000 unlisted shares of "Jinxiu Commerce Group Co., Ltd." (7.5% shareholding).

……

------

On stage, Xiao Jing's face, which always carried a hint of cunning and sweetness, was now completely out of control.

Large tears rolled uncontrollably from her wide, beautiful eyes.

Following her smooth, fair cheeks, she drew glistening lines, blending her delicate makeup.
