Chapter 399: Shizuka Tamamo

Plink! Plink!

The sounds of wine glasses falling on the floor could be heard everywhere in the hall.

All the males, no matter old or young, stood dumbstruck. Their eyes were opened wide.

Their minds were blank at that instant.

When they smelled the amazing fragrance of the perfume earlier, they imagined that the woman must be incredibly beautiful. Now that they finally saw her, they realized that whatever they had imagined earlier was not even one ten-thousandth of the beauty of the woman who stood before them.

The woman in front of them could only be described as ‘perfect’.

Her fox-like eyes were spirited and charming, as though they could easily claim a man’s soul just by looking at him.

Unfortunately, her expression was frosty and distant. However, that had stoked the desires of the men around her.

Her beauty was unequaled in this world.

However, they were more shocked by another fact.

The true owner of Meigyoku Group worth hundreds of billions was a beautiful woman?

Were they dreaming?

Many people pinched themselves on their faces.

“Ouch!” They yelped in pain.

If they could feel pain, it meant that it was not a dream.

They breathed heavily and opened their eyes wide, clearly infatuated by the woman.

Song Linfei also looked equally infatuated.

He encountered many women before, thanks to his status, but he had never seen someone so beautiful.

His gaze went up and down the woman’s body. The desire in his heart only grew.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva but his throat was dry.

‘I’ll have to win this collaboration no matter what it takes,’ he thought.

He was not the only person who was thinking about it at that moment.

Meanwhile, after Tang Hao came to his senses, he laughed drily.

The beautiful woman in front of him was none other than that Tamamo woman.

He soon understood why a small company like his would receive an invitation to the party. It was all because of that woman!

He grimaced and felt a headache creeping in.

‘What does this Tamamo woman want?’

He was also quite shocked by the revelation. That woman was the owner of Meigyoku Group, which meant that she was obscenely rich!

He felt embarrassed. His wealth must have been insignificant in her eyes.

“Looks like I’m still too poor!” Tang Hao mumbled to himself.

However, he soon let that feeling pass. There was no use for that much money anyway since he could not bring it beyond his death. As long as he had the money for himself and his loved ones, that would be enough. If he really cared about money, then he would not have donated all the money he looted from Miki Group to charity.

Everyone eventually came to their senses, and the hall exploded with activity.

The guests shoved and jostled among each other to be the first one to introduce themselves. They were shouting and cursing at each other, and some of them even threatened to get physical.

It was hard to believe that they were all renowned business owners in Huaxia.

Ling Rui and Song Linfei were among those people.

Tang Hao sat there, feeling frustrated that he had been pranked by the woman. He would not have come if he knew who was behind all this.

Tamamo courteously replied to all the people there with a smile on her face. When she shook hands with those people, those people seemed even more infatuated than ever.

Even though she was smiling, she remained emotionally distant.

Those men were nothing special. They were all mortal boors.

She casually glanced around the hall. The corners of her lips curled upward into a mischievous smile when she noticed someone sitting alone in the corner of the hall.

‘That guy must be so bored by now!’

She became happier when she thought about that.

“Everyone, this is Shizuka Tamamo, the owner of Meigyoku Group,” Kotobuki Miyazawa introduced the woman to everyone.

“Shizuka Tamamo? That’s a good name!” Everyone showered her with flattery when they heard that.

“Ms. Tamamo, my name is Song Linfei. I am the director of Song Corporation. This is my name card, please take it.”

Song Linfei squeezed past the crowd, bowed at her, and handed her his name card.

Shizuka Tamamo smiled courteously and took the name card.

Song Linfei’s eyes sparkled when he saw her twin peaks up close. He was utterly infatuated.

“Ms. Tamamo, dare I ask if I can contact you in some other way so that we might have dinner soon?” Song Linfei asked her eagerly.

Shizuka Tamamo smiled but did not say anything.

Soon, he was pushed aside by the jostling crowd. He was angry, but he did not throw a tantrum in front of everyone.

After greeting everyone there, Shizuka Tamamo looked around the hall and her gaze fell on Tang Hao. She pretended to furrow her eyebrows and sounded confused. “He is…?”

Everyone was shocked. They looked at Tang Hao with disdain.

“Don’t mind him, Ms. Tamamo. He’s only a country bumpkin. He’s the one who runs Haotian Health Products Co. Ltd., it’s just a small company!” Ling Rui said excitedly.

Everyone shouted in agreement and jeered at Tang Hao.

In their eyes, Tang Hao was an uncouth, rude, arrogant, and lowly country bumpkin.

They felt cathartic after mocking Tang Hao.

However, Shizuka Tamamo suddenly shrieked in surprise. “Wow! So that’s him?”

Her eyes opened wide and sparkled as though she was a young girl meeting her idol for the first time.

Everyone around her was dumbstruck. They stood there like blocks of wood.

‘What’s… What’s going on?

‘Wasn’t Ms. Tamamo an emotionless, mature, and capable woman? Why does she look like a ditzy teenage girl now?’

Everyone’s jaws dropped when they witnessed the total change in the woman’s demeanor.

Even more incredulous was that she was interested in the kid. Was she deaf and did not hear what they said about him?

‘What’s so great about this country kid? Didn’t he only concoct some fancy potions? What’s so great about that?’

Everyone became envious.

They showered her with attention but did not manage to interest her. However, she seemed obsessed with the kid who just sat there and drank wine.

“Wow, look at him, he’s so handsome! Don’t you think that he’s so cool?”

Shizuka Tamamo propped up her face with her hands as though she was struck by puppy love. If she was a cartoon character, her eyes would have turned into heart shapes.

Pop! Pop! Pop!

Everyone could feel the veins in their forehead popping.

They were losing their minds!

‘Is that woman actually an idiot?

‘The owner of Meigyoku Group is actually a naive young girl?

‘How is that country kid handsome or cool? Did she find anyone sitting there alone sipping wine cool?

‘F*ck me, if I knew that, why did I bother? I should have looked for a corner, made a pose, and drank wine! I’d be a thousand times cooler!’

Everyone was exasperated at that moment.
