"Tell me! Did he ask you out to dinner alone? Where did you eat?"
"Have you... held hands? Or... done anything more intimate?"
"What valuable gifts did he give you? Diamonds and jewelry? Or a mansion in Repulse Bay?"
"Oh, don't be embarrassed! Everyone in Hong Kong knows about this! Who do you want to choose? Mr. Huo or Mr. Lin? If I were to say, Mr. Lin is better..."
At this moment, the weight and attraction of the name "Xiao Lin Tian Wang" in their hearts has become as high as the sun, completely leaving Huo Zhenting behind.
These young women, navigating the fringes of the world of fame and fortune and deeply versed in reality, were clear-eyed and insightful: Peter Fok, 31, had the towering presence of Henry Fok Ying-tung towering over him; Kobayashi Tenmo, barely in his early twenties, a multi-billionaire, controlling Hong Kong's landed properties and a true tycoon on Hong Kong Island! Young, wealthy, powerful, and high-profile in his pursuit of Liu Rumeng... a perfect, fairy-tale-like, golden-blooded husband!
Liu Rumeng was dizzy from the sudden enthusiasm and barrage of questions.
She was still clutching a dancing shoe, frozen in place, her mind blank. Ah Wang... took control of Hong Kong Crown? That behemoth, British-owned conglomerate? He... how long had he been in Hong Kong? Even Mum said Hong Kong Crown's roots in the island were rock solid... How had he done it?
What she had seen and heard in Hong Kong Island these days, the shadowy power of the British-owned group, and the astonishing achievements her husband had made at this moment, collided violently in her mind, setting off a huge wave.
The huge surprise and pride mixed with a strange invisible pressure caused by her partner's sudden rise to the top made her mind confused and she had no idea how to deal with the faces in front of her that had suddenly become extremely eager.
What could she say? That he was her husband? That they had been close for a long time?
She opened her mouth, looking at the faces around her filled with inquiry, envy, and even deliberate flattery. Her throat felt dry, and she couldn't utter a word. Her pretty face was filled with a hint of bewilderment, and a bit of the shock of a huge accident.
Just then—
"Bang!"
The door of the training room was suddenly pushed open!
A production director in a suit, with messy hair, stumbled in, waving a piece of paper in his hand. His face was flushed with the rush of running and filled with uncontrollable excitement. He ignored everyone else, his gaze piercing through the crowd, fixed on Liu Rumeng, using all his strength, his voice almost distorted with the haste:
"Liu! Miss Liu Rumeng! Hurry... hurry! Come downstairs! Xiaolin... Mr. Xiaolin Tianwang he... he drove downstairs himself! Right at the front door! He said he was... here to pick you up for dinner!"
Crash!
The beauties, who were already excited, immediately became even more excited.
Especially when they heard that Kobayashi Tenmo had already arrived at the bottom of the TVB building, everyone felt like they could hardly keep their legs together.
This legendary figure, a rising star admired by the whole of Hong Kong, is the new real estate tycoon who has just taken over Hong Kong Holdings.
After just completing the acquisition of controlling stake in Jardine Matheson, the first thing he did was to run to the downstairs of TVB and invite Liu Rumeng to dinner?
Wow!
Such an honor!
It really made all the beauties envy Liu Rumeng to the core again.
Moreover, this also confirms their previous speculation that Xiaolin Tianwang is really deeply in love with Liu Rumeng and is determined to win her over.
Otherwise, how could he come to Liu Rumeng first at such a critical and glorious moment?
For these beauties, the fundamental purpose of participating in the Miss Hong Kong pageant is to gain recognition and marry into the wealthy families in Hong Kong Island. To put it bluntly, it is to make money for themselves and increase their value and exposure.
However, now, the Miss Hong Kong final has not yet begun, but Liu Rumeng has already secured the biggest victory.
What does it matter whether I win the first place in the Miss Hong Kong pageant or not, as long as I can gain the favor of Kobayashi Tenmo and be personally invited to dinner?
Even some quick-witted beauties immediately came up to Liu Rumeng and pleaded, "Sister Rumeng, I've always admired Mr. Xiaolin. Can you please let me accompany you to the banquet? I promise I'll just sit there and eat, and I won't disturb you or Mr. Xiaolin."
The person who was speaking was Yu Qixia. In real history, she won the third place in the 1977 Miss Hong Kong pageant. She was quite good-looking, but her pretentious temperament made Liu Rumeng very disgusted.
So, when Liu Rumeng heard her say this on purpose, she immediately frowned and shook her head.
However, after being interrupted by Yu Qixia, Liu Rumeng's heart suddenly moved, and she was inexplicably thinking that the beauties who came to participate in the Miss Hong Kong pageant were all good in appearance, temperament, and even knowledge.
Moreover, after training and getting along together for these days, although many of the contestants have problems with their conduct and personality, Liu Rumeng still found that several contestants such as Zhu Lingling, Shi Jiayi and Lu Ruirong can be considered dignified and elegant, with both good looks and talent.
Do you want to take this opportunity to help Awang select a few girls to marry as concubines?
