Chapter 2096 - 686: Private Gathering 2 (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)
Will she try to socialize as diligently as Fang Zhiyuan?
Or will she continue to maintain this enigmatic distance?
Perhaps she will join that dazzling circle?
She subconsciously cast her gaze towards the circle in the center of the banquet hall composed of a group of prominent figures.
Immediately, she was taken aback.
Because she saw that some people over there also stopped their conversations and turned their eyes towards their direction.
Their expressions changed rapidly from initial confusion to amazement, shock, and then they began whispering.
This reaction was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, quickly causing a chain reaction.
More and more people noticed the anomaly here.
Probing gazes gathered from all directions.
Fang Zhiyuan clearly noticed this scene as well.
He watched as those prominent figures who had been aloof cast their unusual glances this way, his own expression somewhat baffled.
Soon, he saw those figures actually walk out from that core circle and stride over towards them.
Leading the way was Zhao Wen from Temasek, who had just been surrounded in the center.
The originally crowded crowd automatically opened a pathway for them.
Zhao Wen took the lead, displaying a radiant and nearly enthusiastic smile: "Chairman Tang! Since we last parted ways in Shanghai, it has been quite a while! I never expected to meet you here!"
As he spoke, he proactively extended his hand.
Tang Song lightly shook hands with him, "It’s been a long time, President Zhao."
Witnessing this incredible scene, Meng Ran and Fang Zhiyuan were stunned on the spot.
Standing there somewhat at a loss, they blankly watched them.
Soon, a senior executive from Redwood China stepped forward as well, his tone carrying a bit of admiration: "Chairman Tang, it’s been a long time. Rongliu Capital’s recent big moves have truly opened our eyes!"
Then, several others also stepped forward, encircling them.
"Hello Chairman Tang, I’ve long heard of Rongliu Capital’s reputation, never thought I’d see you here."
...
Tang Song maintained a calm smile on his face throughout.
When the moment for pleasantries was just right.
He naturally extended his hand to the slender waist of the female CEO, gently applying force to bring her to his front position.
This subtle action transformed her from an "observer" into the new focus of this circle’s gaze.
"Everyone, let me introduce to you." His voice was not loud, yet it instantly quieted the surroundings, everyone attentively listening, "This is Xie Shuyu, the founder and CEO of Glimmer Coffee, President Xie."
"Hello, President Xie, I’m Pang Hanfei from IDG Investments..."
"Hello, President Xie, a pleasure to meet you, I’m..."
...
The sounds of self-introduction arose one after another.
One after another, gold-stamped business cards were handed over.
After a moment of bewilderment, Xie Shuyu took a deep breath and quickly composed herself.
Although she was still incredibly shocked by this magical scene before her.
Her face had already resumed a flawless professional smile, calmly handling the situation.
Tang Song accompanied her side, skillfully exchanging pleasantries with everyone.
Actually, before attending this private gathering, Xie Shuyu had already sent him the electronic invitation and guest list.
He also saw several familiar names on it.
All of whom he had encountered previously at an "Investor’s Night" in Shanghai.
Moreover, he was very much aware.
Even with people like Secretary Jin deliberately concealing information and conducting "media management," his true identity was already no secret in certain small financial circles.
He also knew, as long as he chose to make an appearance here today, it would inevitably lead to a scene like this.
This was already within his calculations.
Feeling the slight tremor of the female CEO’s waist.
Seeing her cheeks flush charmingly, uncontrollably.
Tang Song showed a captivating smile.
My dear female CEO, this is just the beginning.
...
Watching Tang Song and Xie Shuyu, who had become the focus of the entire private gathering.
Meng Ran, standing behind them, felt her mind went blank.
More and more guests gathered around.
She couldn’t hear what they were discussing.
But from the surrounding suppressed conversations, she pieced together an information map that left her breathless bit by bit.
"A top private equity fund from Xiang River...Chairman of Rongliu Capital..."
"...the fund scale is close to 13 billion US Dollars."
"...backed by the Tang Jin Family Office and Kate Trust with joint funding as the parent fund..."
"...also deeply involved in TY Precision’s star project Xuanji Light Realm’s latest round of financing."
Listening to these discussions about Tang Song, Meng Ran felt an overwhelming sense of disorientation.
She suddenly remembered something.
After all, with her position in Alibaba, her Moments and information channels were far more well-informed than the average person.
Several months ago, in her Moments and social circles, she indeed saw a headline news overwhelming the feed regarding a "hundred billion US Dollar parent fund emerging out of nowhere."
The name of the company seemed to be Rongliu Capital.
However, since she wasn’t a directly related professional, she only watched such pure financial operation news for amusement and didn’t delve further.
But what she never expected...
The chairman of such a top private equity fund company that could shake the entire industry was actually Tang Song!
