As soon as the production director said, "Mr. Kobayashi will come to pick you up for dinner personally," the training room suddenly exploded as if cold water was poured into boiling oil!
The envy on Yu Qixia's face was almost dripping with envy, and she was the first to scream:
"Sister Rumeng! Mr. Xiaolin is here to pick you up personally! Oh my god! How romantic! So enviable!"
Her voice instantly ignited the ultimate yearning for top power, wealth and elegance in the hearts of all the beauties.
Fok Chun-ting's aura was completely eclipsed by that of the young tycoon, Kobayashi Tin-wang, who had truly taken over Hong Kong Land and controlled half of the Central property market. He also had the towering presence of Fok Ying-tung, forcing him to act with less autonomy. Meanwhile, at the age of twenty, Kobayashi Tin-wang was already the most powerful tycoon in Hong Kong Island, his energy and aura far surpassing Fok's.
Liu Rumeng, however, seemed a bit dazed by the overwhelming good fortune. Awang… her husband, right after completing such an astonishing feat as the merger with Landmark, actually came to pick her up for dinner so openly and honestly?
However, this torrent of shock and happiness was mixed with a subtle sense of strangeness - the atmosphere of Hong Kong Island.
During these past few months in Hong Kong, she had deeply experienced the realities of the capitalist world. It was common for top tycoons to be surrounded by more than one woman. Her grandfather, Guo Letian, although he never remarried after her grandmother's death, did have other women.
From small wealthy businessmen like my uncle Guo Zhiqiang to big figures like Ho Ying-tung and Li Ho-wo, having three wives and four concubines seems to be tacitly regarded as an annotation of a successful person's identity.
A strong compensatory desire surged up. She knew she was undergoing treatment, and she had repeatedly emphasized to Awang on the phone that it was a long process requiring absolute rest. This meant that in the short term, perhaps even for two or three years, she would be unable to fulfill her wifely duties. Her inability to bear children was already a debt, and now she couldn't fulfill her duties as a husband and wife...
The huge sense of self-blame and the instinct to "make up" to her husband, coupled with Yu Qixia's active request to join, made her involuntarily glance at the beauties around her.
Zhu Lingling is recognized as a stunning beauty. Her calm and composed temperament is like a piece of warm and beautiful jade. She will definitely be the object of pursuit by top wealthy families in the future.
Lu Ruirong has good manners, a look of intelligence between his eyebrows, and is very tactful in what he says and does.
Although Yu Qixia is a bit pretentious, she is also very beautiful and enthusiastic and proactive.
Shi Jiayi has the youthfulness and purity unique to a schoolgirl, and her eyes are clear.
Thoughts grew wildly in his mind like vines—these were all beauties who had been carefully selected, their looks, manners, and conversation all top-notch. Should he…take the initiative to consider Awang?
She took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in her heart, and a gentle and generous smile appeared on her face. She looked sincerely at Zhu Lingling, Lu Ruirong, Yu Qixia and Shi Jiayi:
"Everyone, I'm really a little nervous that Mr. Kobayashi is here to pick me up personally. Honestly, I've only been in Hong Kong for a few months, and I'm a little nervous about all these big events and important people. Going alone... I'm really worried I won't be able to handle it."
Her tone was gentle, with just the right amount of weakness and shyness: "I'd like to ask a few sisters to accompany me and give me some courage. Can we go together? It'll be more lively with more people. I wonder... would you be willing to do me the honor of coming?"
When these words were spoken, not only the four girls who were named were stunned, but the entire training room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Yu Qixia reacted the fastest, her face instantly filled with ecstasy, and she almost rushed to Liu Rumeng, hugging her arms tightly:
"Yes! Yes! Sister Rumeng! I'd love to! I'll go with you! Don't worry, I'll definitely help you make the occasion more festive! Mr. Kobayashi is such a nice guy, and the event is so grand, and today they've done something as big as annexing the Jardine Matheson Group. It really needs more people to make it more lively and festive!"
Her mind was filled with the excitement of getting close to the new legend of Hong Kong Island and her endless imagination of the luxurious scene.
Shi Jiayi's face was a mixture of surprise and hesitation. She came from an ordinary family and was still a student. To be invited to meet Hong Kong's top tycoon was an opportunity she had never dared to imagine before. It was enough to brag about it to her classmates for the rest of her life.
But she was also worried: "Sister Rumeng, this...will this be too much trouble for Mr. Xiaolin? He only invited you...would it be too abrupt for so many of us to go with him?"
She whispered, twisting the corner of her clothes nervously with her fingers, afraid of missing the opportunity and afraid of offending people by not knowing the rules.
Zhu Lingling's expression was the most complicated. She stood there quietly, her usual calmness replaced by a subtle hint of agitation and reserve.
She really wanted to go; that name now represented the pinnacle of Hong Kong's business world. But at the same time, a tinge of pride deep within her heart made it difficult for her to accept Liu Rumeng's offer of support. It felt as if accepting would implicitly put her in a lower position than Liu Rumeng. She pursed her lips, not immediately expressing her opinion.
Lu Ruirong's gaze flickered from Liu Rumeng, Yu Qixia, Shi Jiayi, and finally landed on Zhu Lingling's face. She paused for a moment, instantly understanding the subtlety of the situation. She stepped forward, a warm smile perfectly applied to her face, and spoke cheerfully to smooth things over:
"Sister Rumeng is so polite! It's such a rare opportunity for us sisters to go and see it together! Mr. Kobayashi is a man with a broad mind and a grand scene. Why would he mind?"
As she spoke, she naturally reached out and pulled Zhu Lingling beside her, "Lingling, don't you agree? Rumeng is nervous about being alone, so we're just the right people to keep her company. It'll be more lively with more people! This is a rare opportunity!"
Zhu Lingling felt Lü Ruirong's urging and the surrounding gazes, and her reserved attitude was finally overcome by the overwhelming temptation. She nodded slightly, her voice a strained calm, "Sister Lü is right. It's our honor to accompany Rumeng." These words made her position clear.
