Tang Song's eyes flickered as he watched the Bullet Comments exploding above her head like fireworks.

It's obvious that this School Beauty Shen, secretly found out about Rongliu Capital.

However, the other party's reaction was somewhat unexpected.

It also made him more clearly and deeply aware of the "Charm of Power".

I have gained a deeper understanding of human nature.

Shen Yuyan's "Whisper" are actually a mirror, reflecting the desires and weaknesses of everyone in the power game.

"Shirley? Are you alright?"

Shen Yuyan shivered, trying her best to remain calm, her voice trembling. "It's nothing, I was just thinking about how you helped me out of that situation, and I was really touched."

She stepped forward, gently took Tang Song's arm, and pressed her ample breasts against it.

Sensing her aura, Tang Song smiled and said, "You are now my Special Advisor, so naturally I will help you."

In the "Whispers of Human Nature" instance, the Bullet Comments above Shen Yuyan's head can pass through walls, and is more like a projection of a mental state.

He saw her hateful Bullet Comments while sitting in the Rest Area and guessed that she had encountered an enemy. In order to prevent things from getting out of control and deviating from his expectations, he made a clean and decisive appearance.

"Thank you, Tang Song." Shen Yuyan pursed her lips, glanced down at her handbag, her fingers slightly cold.

The stinging sensation on her tongue still reminded her that this was not a dream.

Tang Song is indeed the chairman and CEO of a $2 billion Private Equity Fund.

Although these funds do not belong to him personally, the power and influence behind such a huge amount of capital is unmatched by ordinary people.

Even in China, such a fund management scale is considered enormous.

For example, Mingjian Capital manages funds of roughly the same size.

However, Wang Yubo is merely the son of the chairman of Mingjian Capital, while Tang Song himself is the actual helmsman of Rongliu Capital.

[I think I might have chosen the wrong text. Given his status, he would probably be more respected and sought after if he appeared at the event as his Special Assistant rather than as a "Special Advisor."]

[However, it's alright. Rongliu Capital isn't well-known in China, so even if they appear at the event, it won't cause much of a stir. Tang Song is definitely here to expand his business and increase his influence, which is a golden opportunity for someone like me who excels at networking.]

A person's social value is not only about connections and status, but also about emotional support, information sharing, humor, and shared interests.

Although Shen Yuyan doesn't have many connections, she is still emotionally intelligent.

After meeting up with three core employees of Rongliu Capital, the two entered the VIP check-in area together and completed the check-in process.

Media cameras flashed incessantly around the entrance, and flashes from lights on both sides of the red carpet lit up like stars, making the entire entrance dazzlingly beautiful.

Standing on the red carpet, bathed in the flashing lights, Shen Yuyan seemed to awaken from a dream.

Only now did she truly realize how precious the opportunity Tang Song had given her truly was.

This was arguably the closest she ever came to success in her life.

The venue was bustling with people and incredibly lively.

Due to the large area of the site, the entire space was meticulously divided into multiple functional areas.

The "Social Plaza," "Technology Interactive Exhibition Area," "Capital Docking Cabin," and "VIP Lounge" are just some of the many areas that exude a unique atmosphere and appeal.

The air was thick with the scent of money and ambition; everyone was Wei Xiao, and every gaze was hunting.

Bullet Comments: [It's started! Shen Yuyan, unleash your full power!]

Shen Yuyan gently took Tang Song's arm, her eyes filled with excitement and anticipation. "Mr. Tang, shall we go to the Social Plaza now?"

Her tone carried a hint of expectation, yet also revealed just the right amount of thoughtfulness.

This is the main reason she chose to be his "Special Advisor"—to appear by his side as his female companion and become an indispensable part of his life.

Whether it's easing tensions or promoting communication, she's determined to be flawless and impress Tang Song and Song.

Tang Song calmly shook his head. "No need. Let's go straight to the VIP room."

"Okay." Shen Yuyan vigorously and followed Tang Song through the crowd and into the building.

As we approached the VIP lounge, the number of people around dwindled.

Shen Yuyan's eyes lit up, and she suddenly said softly, "Mr. Tang, I ran into someone I know. Should we go say hello?"

"Oh? Who is it?" Tang Song raised an eyebrow slightly.

Shen Yuyan let out a soft breath, trying to hide her excitement, and pointed her slender finger silently at a figure moving slowly in the distance.

"He is Jingwu Capital Qi Botao, one of the partners of Jingwu Capital 'Huaxia region." She paused, then said softly, "Dr. Qi is not only a top expert in the medical and health field, but also has a deep industry background. He is responsible for Jingwu Capital's investment decisions in the biomedical sector in Huaxia. I had a brief encounter with him at a gathering yesterday."

A slight smile played on her lips, and her eyes sparkled with confidence.

With her shrewd calculations and resourceful nature, and now backed by Tang Song and Rongliu Capital, her social resources are vastly different from what they used to be.

Even when facing someone like Qi Botao, it would be enough to make the other party treat him with caution.

More importantly, this also demonstrates her value and allows her to guide the situation in a direction favorable to herself, further consolidating her position.

Upon hearing her words, Tang Song's expression became very strange.

Xiao Shen! Are you trying to develop into a "comedic character"?

You probably don't know who I'm going to introduce you to next, do you?

Looking at the enthusiastic and confident School Beauty Shen, Tang Song suddenly felt that she was actually quite cute.

"No need, let's go meet up with our friends first," Tang Song said calmly, interrupting her anticipation.

Shen Yuyan for a moment, then forced a smile, "Oh, okay."

Although he readily agreed verbally, a sense of disappointment inevitably arose in his heart.

[Sigma Man who doesn't understand romance!]

Footsteps sounded again, and the group continued along the corridor.

To her surprise, the direction they were heading was the same as that of Dr. Qi.

As the distance gradually closed, Shen Yuyan's heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

Passing through a magnificently decorated gate, a splendid VIP lounge instantly comes into view.

There weren't many people inside, only a dozen or so.

The entire space was resplendent in gold, with soft yet dazzling lighting that made every guest seem to be enveloped in a dreamlike halo.

Shen Yuyan's gaze remained fixed on Qi Botao's figure.

He was having a friendly conversation with a senior executive of the organizer, exuding an undeniable composure and authority amidst his relaxed and amiable demeanor.

He then walked slowly toward the central area of the VIP lounge, seemingly heading straight for some important person or circle.

Immediately afterwards, several tall, elegant, and extraordinary figures came into view.

They stood at the center of attention, men and women, Asian and European.

Each person exudes a unique charm, revealing an aura that only the most powerful and wealthy possess in their every gesture.

This aura deeply attracted Shen Yuyan's gaze, making her breath quicken and her heart race.

The most eye-catching one was a very tall, beautiful white woman.

Wearing 10-centimeter pointed high heels made her look especially outstanding.

In terms of looks alone, she is no less stunning than the top Supermodel in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

Under her gaze, Qi Botao slowly walked into the group of people.

His smile was gentle and warm, and his attitude was humble. He greeted them Yi Yi one, and finally stood next to the white beauty, looking at her with respect.

Shen Yuyan clearly remembered how restrained and indifferent Qi Botao was at the Park Hyatt Club yesterday. His every move carried a sense of distance that kept strangers at bay, making her afraid to approach him and strike up a conversation.

This is in stark contrast to his current attitude.

A complex mix of emotions welled up in Shen Yuyan's heart: admiration, longing, and a hint of inferiority.

Then, her gaze fell on the man beside her.

He remained calm and composed, seemingly unaffected by the aura of these people.

Her rosy, full lips parted slightly.

Bullet Comments: [Tang Song! Tang Song! Can you take me in?]

This is the world I've always dreamed of but could never reach!

"Let's go." Tang Song's voice suddenly rang out.

Shen Yuyan quickly came to her senses and followed him toward the central area.

As they approached, the group quickly looked over.

"Thump thump one"

Shen Yuyan's heart was pounding.

Immediately afterwards, the people standing in the middle of the VIP room also turned their gazes toward them.

The white woman's eyes suddenly lit up.

Her red lips were slightly upturned, but her eyes held a condescending scrutiny, as if she were already used to being looked up to.

"Tap tap-a-tat—" Tang Song's steps suddenly stopped, and he looked at the other person.

Just then.

The white woman's gaze softened, and she walked towards them.

The light from the crystal chandelier poured down like shattered diamonds, causing the sapphire earrings to sway gently.

She wore a dark blue suit skirt, the cut of which was as sharp as a knife, outlining her figure almost perfectly.

The V-neck design subtly reveals delicate collarbones, while the neckline is long and slender like a swan's.

Her golden curls cascaded over her shoulders like ocean waves, and the sapphire earrings on her ears reflected a cool light under the lamp, making her skin appear as white as snow.

Shen Yuyan's fingertips tightened unconsciously, her nails almost digging into the fabric of Tang Song's suit.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment.

The only sound was the "clack-clack" of high heels.

The woman's gaze lingered briefly on her before turning to Tang Song.

Her very presence was like a magnet, easily attracting everyone's attention, and even the air was filled with an invisible sense of oppression.

Although Annie always appears lazy and casual in front of Tang Song, it's important to know that she is one of the heirs of a top America Chaebol and a true socialite.

When she goes all out, her innate noble temperament and sharp aura are enough to make anyone take notice.

Shen Yuyan widened, and she subconsciously let go of Tang Song's arm.

She suddenly realized that the friends Tang Song had brought her to meet might be them!

I feel tightness in my chest, and my breathing quickens involuntarily.

Bullet Comments: [Who is this woman?!]

What is its relationship with the Tang Song?

"Song, you've arrived." The woman raised her wrist, glanced at her watch, and said, "I've been waiting for you—three minutes. I thought you'd be here waiting for me."

Her English pronunciation was elegant and languid, with a touch of High Society accent.

Shen Yuyan's breath hitched.

Bullet Comments: [Ahhh! She really is Tang Song's friend!]

My God! Who exactly is she?

Tang Song calmly looked at the "Tall Mare" in front of him and smiled faintly, "You don't have to wait."

Today, she was acting out of character, secretly wearing extremely high heels. When the two stood face to face, Annie even had to look down at him slightly.

He could sense that this "Tall Mare" still wanted to conquer him.

But today, on such an important occasion, he absolutely cannot let things fall apart.

I might as well cosplay as "Tang Song" from the game and thoroughly suppress this Tall Mare.

"Well, it's always worth waiting for you." Annie chuckled, casually tossing a strand of blonde hair behind her ear. She glanced meaningfully at Shen Yuyan, "And this beautiful lady is?"

"Shirley Shen, Special Advisor to Rongliu Capital."

Shen Yuyan's fingertips trembled slightly, but she forced herself to maintain Wei Xiao. The Bullet Comments started turning red:

She was sizing me up, like she was looking at an item waiting to be appraised!

Calm down! Calm down! We absolutely cannot afford to mess this up!

Shen Yuyan quickly folded her hands in front of her and bowed slightly. "Hello, I'm Shirley, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Hearing her familiar voice, Annie's light-colored eyes narrowed slightly, and her red lips parted slightly. "Interesting."

3

That single word made Shen Yuyan feel uneasy, a shiver running down her spine, but she dared not show it in the slightest.

Just then, Annie reached out and naturally took Tang Song's left arm, replacing her.

Shen Yuyan felt a tightness in her chest, and an indescribable sense of inferiority and jealousy surged into her heart like a tide.

That's my spot!

Why?! She's definitely much more outstanding than me!

Every move she makes looks like it's a scene from a Wall Street fashion editorial!

[Oh no! What should I do?]

Tang Song glanced at School Beauty Shen and introduced her, "Shirley, this is Annie Kate, co-founder of Jingwu Capital."

Annie smiled without saying a word, but simply hugged Tang Song's arm tightly.

Shen Yuyan's mind went blank for a moment, and goosebumps rose all over her body.

The Bullet Comments above her head had completely turned into a jumble of symbols and punctuation marks: [#¥%—...&*!!!]

The co-founder of Jingwu Capital?!

The people who had been surrounding Annie quickly moved closer and greeted her.

"Hello, Mr. Tang, I am Bai Xingwen from Jingwu Capital."

"Mr. Tang, I am Qi Botao from Jingwu Capital. It's an honor to meet you."

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out at the entrance of the banquet hall.

Several staff members wearing suits and name tags walked in, with the middle-aged man in the lead sporting a neatly combed slicked-back hairstyle.

"Ms. Kate! Mr. Tang!" The middle-aged man strode forward, stopping three steps away, his face showing just the right amount of excitement. "I never expected that you two would grace us with your presence. It is truly an honor."

Shen Yuyan couldn't help but look at the man's chest, her gaze blank.

[Executive Chairman of the Organizing Committee - Shi Junze]

"Hello." Annie's red lips curved into a playful smile as she nodded slightly, leaning against Tang Song as if to express something.

Tang Song glanced at the Tall Mare, then politely shook hands with her, saying, "Chairman Shi, you're too kind."

Shi Junze exchanged a few pleasantries with him, then immediately stepped aside to signal, and three senior executives behind him stepped forward:

"Hello Mr. Tang, I am Zhou Yi, the secretary-general of the organizing committee."

"I've heard so much about you. I'm Wang Jin, the Media and Public Relations Director."

"It's an honor to meet you. I am—"

The sounds of self-introductions rose and fell, yet strangely, there was an order to the noise.

Shen Yuyan and the other three from Rongliu Capital stood a little further away, watching Tang Song in the center of the crowd.

He remained calm and composed, his tall figure bathed in the cool light of the crystal chandelier, exuding an aloof and noble air.

It blends seamlessly with its surroundings.

In her worldview, the curtain is slowly being drawn back.

The surrounding chatter became a blurred background noise.

The slightly forward-leaning posture of the event organizers' executives resembled a carefully designed stage movement.

The gazes (whether of awe, flattery, or respect) directed at him are like spotlights.

He is the only protagonist in this drama.

When he speaks, everyone instinctively stays quiet.

When he falls silent, everyone looks tense and uneasy.

He doesn't need to do anything deliberately.

Just by standing there, he had already stirred the emotions of everyone.
