Tang Song turned around and looked at Tian Chengye, who was walking towards him, maintaining an expression that was just right on his face.

The moment their eyes met.

Tian Chengye’s steps paused for an imperceptible moment.

His heart was stirred by a great wave.

The Tang Song before him was very different from the confident and sharp young man he had seen before.

In his eyes, Tian Chengye did not see any pride or show-off, only a deep and unfathomable calm.

He had none of the ostentation that wealth brings, nor the arrogance that comes with power.

But a deeper level, a sense of ease stemming from absolute control.

He had lived for nearly fifty years, having encountered many influential people.

Yet it was the first time he saw this "top-tier big shot" aura in someone so young.

"Uncle Tian, long time no see." Tang Song took the initiative to speak.

Tian Chengye exhaled lightly, raising a warm smile and quickening his steps, "Haha, Tang Song, oh Tang Song, you’re truly hidden and talented! Lanfeng International Hotel? Wow, today you’ve really opened my eyes!"

Tang Song’s lips curled slightly, his demeanor humble yet dignified: "Uncle Tian, you’re too kind. I just haven’t had the chance to visit you and Aunt before, please forgive me."

"Haha, I’ve been too busy lately as well." Tian Chengye’s eyes flashed, he took the opportunity to hold Tang Song’s arm and turned to face the people behind him: "Old Qin, President Wang, come, come, let me introduce you! This is Jing’s boyfriend, Tang Song!"

Qin Decang and others looked at the young man before them, their eyes filled with complex and unfathomable shock.

Earlier in the VIP lounge, they already learned of Tang Song’s identity.

Qin Decang, being a seasoned old-timer in the Yan City business world.

Knew better than anyone what Lanfeng International Hotel represented.

Securing Lanfeng International’s controlling stake from Cloud Stream Real Estate requires far more than just capital.

Looking at the impeccable young man, then at Jing beside him.

A mix of envy and jealousy arose in his heart.

What a pity... what a pity! Why doesn’t his daughter Qin Hua have such luck!

Tang Song politely nodded and greeted them, while holding Jing’s hand, pulling her to his side.

"Today is Jing’s birthday, thank you all for coming. If there’s anything unsatisfactory with the hotel services, you can tell me directly."

Jing bit her lip, her eyes shimmering with starlight, sweetly smiled: "You can tell me too!"

Lord Tang is truly good to her!

By pulling her over, it was both an announcement and empowerment, also expressing respect to the elders.

She couldn’t help but sneak a glance towards Shangguan Qiuya and Xu Qing, feeling delighted inside.

Being the official girlfriend feels truly wonderful!

If she visits Lord Tang’s home in the future, she must present herself well!

...

After some pleasantries.

Tian Chengye then drew a group of old friends, turning towards Fan Wenzeng and Lin Jingming.

They were also distinguished guests at the banquet.

In fact, apart from Qin Decang, an old family friend, he specifically invited four other friends tonight, who were almost all connected to Huinei Electronics in some way.

Some were early shareholders, while others were key partners in the industry chain.

He invited them to build a platform, allowing them to make informal business connections with Lin Jingming, and with the soon-to-arrive Meng Chuan.

Hoping for a turnaround.

While everyone was enthusiastically discussing the future market layout of new energy vehicle charging stations around Lin Jingming.

The young Assistant Li once again ran over.

"Chairman Tian! Mr. Meng has arrived at the hotel and is heading this way. Besides Mr. Meng, there’s an unfamiliar foreigner with him!"

Tian Chengye’s heart skipped a beat, knowing the crucial moment had arrived.

He took a deep breath, suppressing all emotions.

No matter what, Meng Chuan and the Xinghan Investment behind him are people he cannot afford to offend.

Also one of the hopes for Huinei Electronics to turn the tide.

Hoping everything goes smoothly next.

He once again glanced towards Tang Song, his feelings complex and unfathomable.

Standing across from him, Lin Jingming keenly sensed the change in atmosphere.

He asked, surprised, "Chairman Tian, who is this Mr. Meng?"

Judging from the expression of people around, he could tell that this person’s identity was definitely unusual.

"It’s Meng Chuan from Xinghan Investment." Tian Chengye’s voice also became slightly deeper, "Coincidentally, Xinghan Investment is preparing to make a big push into the domestic new energy industry lately, and has been in touch with us more often, so I took the liberty of inviting him over."

Lin Jingming was taken aback, "Is it that Singapore Stellar group’s family office?"

"Yes."

Lin Jingming’s expression instantly changed, the eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses were shining with contemplative brilliance.

His Speed Charge Power belongs to the new energy sector as well, so he had naturally heard of this rapidly rising Singaporean family office.

"Then I’ll join you, I’ve heard a lot about Mr. Meng and have always wanted to meet him."

As he spoke, he joined the steps of Tian Chengye and others, and together came to the position near the banquet hall doors.

After waiting for less than two minutes.

The banquet hall door was gently pushed open.

Next, two figures whispering to each other walked in side by side.

On the left, was a young man of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight.

Wearing a dark gray striped suit, his brown hair styled loosely and naturally.

His lips held a slight upward curve, his temperament fresh and handsome, the whole person exuded an effortless nobility and confidence.

Beside him, was a similarly aged, blonde blue-eyed Caucasian youth.

His features were deep and well-defined, dressed in a double-breasted suit brimmed with English charm, his every move elegant and proud.

The group around Tian Chengye had been a focus of the banquet from the start.

Now seeing these two extraordinarily handsome men, both in appearance and aura, including one with blue eyes who was foreign.

Instantly attracted a multitude of gazes.

Conversation, laughter, naturally quietened down.

"Haha, Meng Chuan, welcome, welcome! I’ve been eagerly waiting for you!"

Tian Chengye immediately approached warmly, proactively extending his hand.

Meng Chuan briefly shook hands with him, "I apologize, Chairman Tian, got delayed by some last-minute matters."

"No worries, no worries, your presence is our honor!"

The group soon moved to the center of the banquet hall.

Meng Chuan simply nodded in acknowledgment of the crowd’s warm greetings.

Then swiftly turned sideways to introduce the Caucasian youth beside him;

"This is my friend, Conrad Mellon. We just finished a cross-continental conference call, he heard I was attending a birthday party tonight and thought it was interesting, and decided to come along with me. Hope the intrusion isn’t an issue?"

"Mellon?" someone subconsciously murmured.

The surname itself is already extraordinary.

Paired with Meng Chuan’s highly formal introduction, and his identity, caused some people’s hearts to lurch.

Witnessing the reaction of the crowd.

Meng Chuan’s lips curled into a slight smile, he said unhurriedly: "Conrad is the VP of private wealth management division at New York Mellon Bank, and an invaluable strategic partner of our Stellar Investments. He specially flew over from New York this time, to assist me with upcoming fund investment affairs."

Conrad Mellon finally reacted at this point.

He merely shrugged casually, those azure eyes carrying a hint of Wall Street elite’s jest and arrogance, "You can just treat me as his personal ATM."(你们可以把我当成他的私人提款机.)

Upon hearing "Mellon Bank", the surrounding instantly quietened, eyes turning fervent.

Tian Chengye’s pupils shrank sharply, his heartbeat began uncontrollably accelerating.

As an accomplished industrialist as well as an independent investor active over the last ten years.

He was naturally familiar, one might say awestruck by, the illustrious Mellon family.

From Meng Chuan’s introduction just now, the Conrad Mellon before him must be a member of the Mellon family.

They are genuinely comparable in status to Rockefeller, DuPont, or the Kate family, commanding the lifeblood of United States industry and finance, the pinnacle of financial dynasties!
