Many young people tidied up their clothes and put on a well-prepared pose. They had made up their minds to leave a good impression on Lan Ling.
Sun Xin walked down the stairs and looked around. She seemed to be looking for someone. Everyone was a little curious. As Lan Ling's personal assistant, Sun Xin obviously wouldn't be looking for herself. If she was looking, she would be looking for someone for Lan Ling.
Sun Xin looked around and walked towards Wang Zheng.
"Wang Zheng, Missy invites you over."
Everyone was petrified. Forget about Lan Jiang's attitude. Wang Zheng could have an intimate conversation with the Wise Elder of the Tita people. Lan Jiang, who also had a good relationship with the Tita people, would definitely have a good relationship with Wang Zheng. After all, this was somewhat official.
However, before the ball officially started, Sun Xin represented Lan Ling to invite Wang Zheng upstairs for a meeting …
This matter was too personal. To put it more bluntly, Lan Ling didn't care about her own reputation!
Countless eyes were staring at Lan Jiang. As the manager of the Lan Family, Lan Jiang should be able to understand that Lan Ling was a very important bargaining chip for the Lan Family. It could be said that some families had been trying to get close to the Lan Family and express their goodwill. Their initial motive was to target the political marriage between Lan Ling and Lan Ling.
Lan Jiang chuckled as he walked towards Wang Zheng's direction.
Many people heaved a sigh of relief. Lan Jiang wasn't a fool after all.
"Brat, you better prepare a gift. Otherwise, I won't let you off."
Lan Jiang's next sentence made everyone dumbfounded. Old Man Lan actually did not stop such a thing that would damage Lan Ling's reputation from happening. Instead, he added fuel to the fire. Gift? Oh my god. What kind of words were these? In the ears of those with ulterior motives, it was as though Lan Jiang was hinting to Wang Zheng that when would he propose marriage? Did he buy a proposal ring today?
Wang Zheng smiled and nodded. He took out a small gift box with a crystal bracelet and followed Sun Xin upstairs.
Wang Zheng smiled and asked Sun Xin, who had a serious look on her face, "How have you been recently?"
"I've been doing well every day. However … I didn't expect you to be so strong. However, you aren't worthy of Missy."
Sun Xin was like a kitten protecting her cub. Wang Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Wang Zheng smiled and nodded. This had nothing to do with strength. Lan Ling was a friend and so was Sun Xin.
Sun Xin brought Wang Zheng to Lan Ling's room. Clearly, it wasn't a boudoir, but a resting and dressing room.
Hearing that there was no sound from the door, Lan Ling smiled and turned around.
Wang Zheng was slightly stunned. How should he put it? This was the first time that he felt that Lan Ling was indeed pretty. He did not know that because of his relationship with Aina, he was rather immune to beauty.
"So beautiful."
Sun Xin glanced at Wang Zheng. Her gaze was habitually threatening. No one knew what she was threatening. Then, she quietly walked out and closed the door.
"Thank you. Your words are a great encouragement to me. I was so nervous that I didn't dare to go out and meet people." Lan Ling patted her chest and smiled.
"Hehe, a small gift. Happy birthday."
Wang Zheng handed over the small gift box in his hands.
Lan Ling's eyes lit up. "Thank you. What is it? Can I take it apart now? "
"Of course."
"It's so beautiful, thank you, I like it very much." Lan Ling quickly put on the crystal bracelet and casually threw the expensive star diamond bracelet to the side.
Wang Zheng rubbed his nose. "I felt that the star diamond bracelet just now looked better." Student Wang was a little embarrassed.
"But this crystal bracelet is more compatible with me." Lan Ling smiled and said meaningfully. Her gaze was very lethal.
Wang Zheng smiled. "It's my honor. Oh right, there is indeed another matter this time. I remember that you said that you wanted to build a mech exclusive to Tita Star. Now the opportunity is here!"
"Oh, tell me about it." Lan Ling was calm when it came to serious matters.
"There is a mech collaboration project that is about to enter the experimental stage. Our strength alone might not be enough. If you are interested, perhaps we can work together." Wang Zheng said.
Building a mech exclusive to Tita Star was not an easy task. Ye Zisu and Barry were considered geniuses. One was a design genius, and the other had been researching on Tita Star for a long time. They could be considered to have hit it off. However, they were still at a loss when it came to these two problems.
The Lan family had always been doing this and had accumulated a lot of valuable experience. What they lacked was in-depth technical support. Both parties had the basis for a collaboration.
Lan Ling was stunned. She had thought of many things that Wang Zheng would need her help with. However, she had not expected it to be a mech collaboration.
"Tell me first. Who are the 'you'?"
Lan Ling smiled. She could tell that the way Wang Zheng spoke to her was still in the category of friends and not an official negotiation.
"The mech design is mainly handled by OMG and King Company. Me and a friend from the team are also involved."
Wang Zheng used his Skylink to send the general information to Lan Ling.
Lan Ling browsed through the information. There was an introduction of the main design members of this project. Ye Zisu? The photo was so beautiful. OMG's heir …
Lan Ling raised her head and looked at Wang Zheng. "This Ye Zisu, Miss Ye, could she be the princess that you told me about previously?"
Wang Zheng was stunned and shook his head. A girl's focus was still different. "No, she is my classmate, friend and one of my best friends. There is also Yan Xiaosu. If there is a chance, I will definitely introduce him to you. Have you not heard of the designer of the Wind God?"
Lan Ling's smile bloomed when she heard the first half of the story. However, she was a little surprised when she heard the last half. "Of course I have heard of her. I think she is the most famous mech designer recently. If that is the case, I really want to meet her."
"Hehe, I think you will get along well with her."
"Alright then. After the banquet, you can make the arrangements." Lan Ling was in a good mood.
"Oh right, I called you up because I need your help. Can you be my dance partner today?"
"It would be my honor." Wang Zheng smiled and accepted it calmly.
"But …" Lan Ling blinked her eyes mischievously.
"But what?"
"You have to change into a real suit first."
Lan Ling pushed Wang Zheng into a changing room at the side. There were more than 10 sets of men's suits inside. The design style was obviously the same as the one Lan Ling was wearing.
Wang Zheng smiled bitterly as he changed into the suit. He thought it was just a casual dance and didn't think too much about it.
Lan Ling looked at Wang Zheng and pursed her lips. "Let me help you tidy your hair. You can't reject me."
"Alright." Wang Zheng surrendered. He was the oldest. Actually, he really wanted to ask why the clothes here were so fitting.
Lan Ling was like playing with a doll. She carefully tidied up Wang Zheng's hair. "Is it okay if I cut it twice?"
"You are the oldest today." Wang Zheng smiled bitterly.
"You said it yourself. When I was nine years old, my dream was to be a hairstylist …"
Lan Ling was very happy. Actually, her skills were really not bad. After a while, Wang Zheng looked at himself in the mirror and was a little stunned. Damn, who was this handsome guy?
"Finally, you are worthy of me."
"Cough …"
"Don't misunderstand. I am talking about dance partner …" Lan Ling blushed. The more she tried to explain, the darker it got.
"I know. Let's go. Everyone has been waiting for a long time."
When they were out of the door, Wang Zheng extended his hand to Lan Ling. Lan Ling put her hand on Wang Zheng's hand and walked downstairs together.
Sun Xin frowned and blinked her eyes. Wang Zheng had changed his hairstyle. It felt … pretty good. However, he was still far from being worthy of Miss.
Downstairs, the atmosphere was intense. Not only was the Lan Family displaying their unique influence, the other major powers were also making use of this opportunity to show off their own roles and presence.
Commerce Associations, immigrant families, new immigrant representatives …
At the banquet, they were all good at dancing. Their background, strength, influence and topics of discussion could very well affect the direction of TitaTitan Star for the next few years or even decades.
As for the small waves that Wang Zheng had caused previously, in such an environment, they could not be any more faint. It was like a match cutting through the darkness. However, that was only for an instant. The real thing that could sweep away the darkness was a light bulb.
Just as they were chatting enthusiastically, they finally heard the sound of a glass being knocked. In front of the host, Old Man Lan Jiang raised the wine glass in his hand and knocked it gently. The sound was transmitted to the surroundings through the sound system. Everyone subconsciously looked up the stairs.
Lan Ling was like an angel descending from the clouds.
So beautiful. Her exquisite makeup seemed to have gathered all the light and attracted everyone's attention.
Clatter. Everyone started clapping. The appearance of the main character of the banquet signified the official start of the ball.
The young people were rubbing their palms and puffing out their chests. They wanted to compete for Lan Ling's first dance. In a banquet, dancing the first dance with the main character of the banquet was very meaningful.
However, very quickly, everyone saw that Wang Zheng was wearing a black tuxedo beside the angelic Lan Ling …
In everyone's perception, if Lan Ling was an angel, then Wang Zheng was like a demon who had imprisoned an angel.
"Could it be …"
"It can't be?"
"What does the Lan Family mean by this?"
Those with discerning eyes could see that Wang Zheng had changed into a formal suit. Thinking back to his previous meeting with Lan Ling, this meant that he wanted to have the first dance with Wang Zheng!
The meaning was different. Previously, Old Man Lan Jiang had given Wang Zheng a push and allowed him to become the team leader of the Milky Way Alliance. It seemed like he wanted to marry Lan Ling to Wang Zheng.
If it wasn't because of this, Old Man Lan wouldn't have done this with his intelligence.
"Today is Lan Ling's birthday. Thank you all for coming. Actually, I wanted to find an opportunity for everyone to catch up. However, I have a special friend that I would like to introduce today." Lan Jiang paused and pointed at Wang Zheng. "Everyone can see this handsome lad. His name is Wang Zheng and he is currently working in the Milky Way Alliance Special Operations Team. Please take care of him in the future. Alright, this old man will not be long-winded. Music!"
The melodious dance music started. However, the hearts of the guests were in turmoil. So formal. What were they trying to do?
(Yesterday, my cousin Xiao Wen came to me to complain. During the weekend, he went to the internet cafe to play League of Legends with a girl he was quite close to. After two rounds, the girl asked him if he wanted to play other games on the weekend. My cousin rejected her decisively and proudly told me that some game was more fun than League of Legends. Girls are so stupid. At that time, I was petrified. I was disappointed that he didn't live up to my expectations … Games would lower one's EQ. My third update has arrived. Friends, please give me an awesome monthly ticket. Thank you!!!)
