Nordin felt it was best to leave as soon as possible...
So he stood up and, through the translator behind him, said, "I'm sorry everyone, I'm not feeling well, so I'll be heading back now. Have a good time, goodbye!"
Tang Jingchang quickly stood up to stop him, saying, "It's still early, why don't you stay and have another drink?" He had invited this person to save face, and if this "face" was gone, how could he continue to put on a show?
However, Nordin was determined to leave. The mere presence of Duanmu Ci and Aslan made him feel utterly hopeless, and he had no desire to stay any longer. So he resolutely left with the translator.
Seeing this descendant of a prominent European family, who had just made a high-profile entrance, slink away in disgrace, the guests were all speculating about what had happened to cause such a turn of events.
Tang Rui felt utterly frustrated seeing his side wiped out without even needing to use a single move! This banquet, though ostensibly his grandfather's birthday celebration, was ultimately a battleground between the two branches of the Tang family! Why was he being constantly annihilated?
That so-called baron heir was someone my father paid a whopping 5 million to bring in for show! And he was just quietly eliminated? He didn't even get the job done properly and he's gone? No way, I'm not paying him!
"At most, I'll give you the cost of a plane ticket..." Tang Rui thought compassionately.
Tang Jingchang's face was also ashen. He never expected that Duanmu Ci would have such powerful influence, and that he could do things to such an extent, forcing a nobleman of such high status to this point. This was beyond his imagination. It seemed that he had underestimated this guy.
Moreover, this guy seems to support Tang Tingshu's faction, making him a destined rival. It's really frustrating...
Of course, this was a great joy for Old Master Tang! He was hosting his birthday banquet at someone else's hotel, and the young master of that hotel actually came to offer his congratulations in person. It was incredibly prestigious! Moreover, in the Western world system, Americans held a much higher status than Greeks, and the Hilton family was undoubtedly more powerful than the declining Orsia family. It was self-evident which family would be more beneficial to him.
As for Tang Ke and his son, there was nothing more to say but joy. They had thought they were destined to be suppressed today, but things took an unexpected turn for the better, and suddenly the situation looked bright! In his mind, Tang Ke had already listed Duanmu Ci as a "strategic partner," someone with whom he would share both glory and fortune.
Meanwhile, the other guests at the table, such as Liu Ruopeng, Han Wusheng, and Liu Qiancheng, secretly remembered Duanmu Ci, after all, his performance was truly amazing! He was a model of being low-key in life and high-profile in work!
In short, everyone's opinion of Duanmu Ci has undergone a subtle change.
For Duanmu Ci, who aspires to operate in the domestic market, the Tang family is very important. He hopes that his cooperative relationship with the Tang family can continue indefinitely, rather than ending with the death of the family. Therefore, the successor of the Tang family is crucial to Duanmu Ci.
Whether for reasons of self-interest or other reasons, Duanmu Ci naturally chose to support a Tang family heir with whom he had a good relationship, simply put, Tang Ke's branch of the family.
Based on this consideration, he rushed over to give Tang Ke face, even attributing the credit for Aslan Hilton's arrival to Tang Ke, all to increase his leverage and overwhelm the other party.
So far, the results seem to be quite good.
