"Hua hua, I’m seriously talking to you about this, don’t brush me off." Jing’s tone remained calm, but her eyes turned sharp. "What’s the name of that assistant?"

The internal recommendation process was submitted directly from the President’s Office Administration to HR, so Qin Hua definitely knew who it was.

"Jing, let’s stop here!" Qin Hua’s face also darkened. "If your boyfriend really has an issue, let him come find me. Or, at tomorrow’s birthday party, I can discuss this with him face to face."

Jing’s eyes narrowed slightly. "So you mean... you’re going against me?"

"I..." Qin Hua’s lips moved, her glance flickering. "Jing, I just think your boyfriend is too capricious, especially now that Zhongcheng Group is..."

"Stop!" Jing directly cut her off. "I don’t want to hear any more nonsense."

Qin Hua’s face turned a bit ugly, just as she was about to say something else.

"Ring Ring—" Her phone suddenly went off.

Glancing at the caller ID, Qin Hua said in a low voice, "Liang Yufan and the others have arrived. We’ll revisit this topic later, let’s go out and greet them first."

Jing looked at her evasive eyes, said nothing, and strode out quickly.

...

On the other side.

While admiring the banquet hall’s setup, a figure suddenly appeared beside Chen Man.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Chen."

Chen Man turned around to see a middle-aged man in a dark suit with an elegant demeanor.

As a VIP member of Lanfeng International Hotel, she naturally recognized him.

The hotel’s GM (General Manager), Qiao Anji.

"President Qiao, hello, is there something you need?"

"Ms. Chen, I apologize for the interruption." Qiao Anji smiled with impeccable courtesy, "I have some details about tomorrow’s birthday party’s special arrangements that I’d like to discuss with you privately. If it’s convenient, could we sit in the VIP lounge for a bit?"

Chen Man felt a tug at her heart, faintly sensing that something was not simple.

Qiao Anji is the general manager of the entire hotel. Although her daughter’s birthday party is a significant client, it still isn’t prestigious enough for him to personally oversee every detail.

After greeting her friends, she followed Qiao Anji to the quiet VIP lounge.

Upon opening the door, she saw a man and a woman sitting on the sofa.

When they saw her enter, the two immediately stood up.

Qiao Anji promptly introduced, "This is Miss Tian’s mother, Ms. Chen Man."

Chen Man looked at them with confusion.

The middle-aged woman, dressed smartly and with an outstanding aura, extended her hand, smiling:

"Hello, Ms. Chen, let me introduce myself. I am Xi Meng, the Artist Management Director at Tangzong Entertainment and also the person responsible for the Echo girl group."

"Tangzong Entertainment? Echo girl group?" Chen Man exclaimed in astonishment.

She naturally knew about the Echo girl group; they are currently the most prestigious and wildly popular female idol group in the country.

They belong to Tangzong Entertainment, the largest entertainment group in the country!

She had even used her connections to get front-row tickets to accompany her daughter to their concert once.

She never expected to meet the person in charge of this girl group here, who is also an executive at Tangzong Entertainment.

The surprise on Chen Man’s face quickly faded, replaced by a perfectly measured curiosity.

She shook hands with her, "May I ask... Director Xi, what’s the matter?"

Xi Meng smiled, "It’s like this, Ms. Chen. The Echo girl group’s new album will be released next month. As a warm-up, Tangzong Entertainment and the official platform have jointly planned a special project called ’Starlight For U.’

We plan to randomly select a stranger’s birthday party and have Echo drop by for a surprise global premiere of a new song.

It happens that Miss Tian’s birthday party’s specifications, environment, and timing perfectly meet our requirements.

So, we wish to ask you if you would like to accept this special gift from Echo and Tangzong Entertainment?

I think it will be an unforgettable and grand birthday blessing for your daughter."

Upon hearing this, Chen Man’s heartbeat started to accelerate uncontrollably.

Her daughter is already a fan of Echo, and now, during her most important birthday, the hottest girl group will perform a global premiere of their new song here...

This is more than a surprise; it’s an enormous prestige!

Chen Man took a deep breath, suppressing her overwhelming excitement, and restored the elegance and composure that belongs to a lady of high society to her face.

"Director Xi, you’re too kind. It is our honor to be favored by Tangzong Entertainment and Echo. If there’s anything you need our cooperation with, please feel free to ask."

"Thank you for your understanding, Ms. Chen. We only have a small request—to ensure the best ’surprise’ effect for this flash performance, we hope this matter can remain completely confidential to all guests, including Miss Tian Jing, until it happens."

"I completely understand." Chen Man nodded immediately, "It will be absolutely confidential."

Xi Meng smiled with satisfaction, then turned to introduce,

"This is Mr. Wang Zhengze, the General Manager of Shengtang Security (Yan Province). Since Echo girl group will be involved, to ensure the safety and privacy of all VIPs on site, all security work for tomorrow’s banquet, including the service staff on site, will be taken over by the team from Shengtang Security."

Wang Zhengze nodded appropriately and said, "Hello, Ms. Chen. Please rest assured, we have had many years of in-depth cooperation experience with Lanfeng International Hotel, and the hotel’s original security system is maintained by our company."

Qiao Anji also chimed in in support.

Chen Man took a deep breath and nodded solemnly, "Alright, everything will follow your arrangements!"

Shengtang Security!

She certainly knows them; they are the top-tier comprehensive security service provider in the country!

They collaborate with many major domestic companies.

Her daughter’s birthday party not only features a top-tier girl group performance but also has a top security company providing comprehensive protection...

For the Tian family, currently weathering stormy times, it’s a perfect opportunity to showcase their "heritage" and "connections" to the outside world!

Moreover, tomorrow night, there will also be top young talents like Lin Jingming and Meng Chuan attending.

Thinking of this, Chen Man felt her back straightening a bit more.

Originally worried about not having enough weight, she specifically invited some of her own friends to support the event.

This "massive prestige" that descended from the sky is truly a blessing in disguise!
