Hilton Hotels, one of the world's most prestigious hotel chains, has nearly 3,000 locations worldwide. One of these hotels is situated in the most bustling area of ​​Haishan, offering panoramic views of the Bund's nightscape from its high-rise building.

Of course, it's still early morning, and there's still some distance to go before noon, so there's no way to enjoy the so-called night view.

However, the Hilton Hotel is quite impressive now. Starting from the central entrance, a red carpet is laid out to cover the entire venue, which is even more extravagant than the red carpet show at the Cannes Film Festival.

A fleet of high-end sports cars, models rarely seen on the road, were parked in the parking lot, creating the impression of a grand auto show. Men in suits and women adorned with jewels stepped out of their vehicles, each holding a large red invitation, and entered the Hilton Hotel.

Today is the 80th birthday of Tang Yijin, the richest man in Haishan. Almost all of Haishan's celebrities are present. If someone were to carry out a terrorist plan similar to 9/11 on this building at this time, the entire economy of Haishan would almost collapse, which would then affect the economic situation of the entire country.

Considering Haishan's status nationwide, this idea is by no means an exaggeration.

Duanmu Ci, who had received the invitation a few days ago, naturally attended in full dress (actually, it was similar to the previous days), with Bu Tongxun, who insisted on coming along, on his arm.

Duanmu Ci handed the invitation to the waiter guarding the entrance and then entered the hotel building. Once inside, he looked up and saw the Tang brothers, Tang Ke and Tang Rui, standing in the lobby to greet guests.

When Duanmu Ci and Bu Tongxun, such a striking young couple, entered, they stood out conspicuously among a group of people whose average age was around 50. Tang Ke and Tang Rui noticed them immediately, but their reactions were completely different. Tang Rui snorted coldly and turned his head away as if he hadn't seen them, while Tang Ke greeted them with a beaming smile.

"Brother Duanmu, I am truly honored by your presence!" Tang Ke said sincerely, and his expression was very convincing.

Duanmu Ci's Tai Chi skills were also quite good, and he easily dealt with the situation, saying, "Not at all. It is my status that is greatly enhanced by being able to attend Old Master Tang's birthday banquet."

Tang Ke thought, "..." Does the young master of the Duanmu family need to elevate his status in such occasions? Heh.

Not wanting to waste time talking in public, Tang Ke personally led Duanmu Ci upstairs, a move that drew the attention of everyone in the hall. These were all elites, their minds as intricate and complex as the roads of the Yunnan-Guizhou region; even the slightest action of someone else was enough for them to analyze for half a day. Especially someone like the powerful young master of the Tang family.

The fact that such a young and unfamiliar person would receive such a grand treatment from the Tang family made them wary.

It's worth noting that the guests who entered before that mysterious young man were major players in Haishan's retail industry. Even so, they didn't receive the treatment of being personally escorted by the young master of the Tang family; they were merely given a close subordinate to receive them. This young man, however, managed to get the young master of the Tang family to condescend to this place—his background is truly baffling.

"Could he be from the capital?" some people speculated wildly. But this wasn't entirely unreasonable. The man hadn't appeared in Haishan's business circles, nor was he a son of a high-ranking official, yet he still commanded the Tang family's attention. Therefore, there was only one explanation: the young man's background was far more powerful. And the only place in the entire country more powerful than Haishan was the capital.

Thinking about it this way, it all makes perfect sense. —Speaking of which, the Tang family is really something else. They managed to get on such a high-level endeavor without making a sound. They truly live up to their reputation as the brand of Haishan Industry and Commerce.

However, if Tang Ke knew what these people were thinking, he would definitely scoff. Who does this retail tycoon from Haishan think he is? Can he compare to the young master of the Duanmu family? What are those carefree young masters of the capital compared to them? Can they compare to the sons of prominent Chinese families in America?

A complete and utter domination!

...

...

Duanmu Ci followed Tang Ke to the second floor. Along the way, they encountered many people who greeted Tang Ke, and Tang Ke returned their greetings with great grace. His manner was both pleasant and aristocratic, befitting the status of the young master of the Tang family.

Duanmu Ci walked behind, observing all of this, and his opinion of Tang Ke subtly rose to a higher level.

Bu Tongxun also said to Duanmu Ci in a strange but rhythmic accent, "This Tang Ke looks pretty good."

Although Bu Tongxun lowered her voice, the distance was too close, so Tang Ke heard what she said. However, Tang Ke helplessly discovered that he couldn't understand what Bu Tongxun was saying at all, because it was a tone of voice he had never heard before.

"Could this be the legendary 'Luoyin'?" Tang Ke wondered to himself.

The legend of the Duanmu family's "Luoyin" is widely circulated in certain circles. Everyone knows that the Duanmu family has a unique and special language. Although it is clearly known that it is Chinese, no one can understand it. Some cunning people even secretly record the voices of the Duanmu family members when they speak and send them to well-known professional language research institutions in China for study, hoping to solve this mystery.

However, the result was disappointing. After careful study, internationally renowned linguists exclaimed, "What the hell is this?", "Never heard of it before," and "You guys are just making things up to amuse us, aren't you?"

After much effort, the only thing everyone could confirm was that there was no such thing as "Luoyin" in the official language database preserved by the Institute of Linguistics.
