Tang Guo was a specially invited guest at this banquet, and she was going to perform a song.

She calculated her timing very accurately. As soon as she noticed that a certain man’s face started to show his impatience, and that he was about to leave, she started singing.

The woman was dressed in a blue dress that exposed half of her shoulders without looking too revealing. She still looked pure, innocent, and sweet as she elegantly held the microphone. As her voice reached every corner of the entire banquet room, her eyes, which seemed able to speak, also worked their ways to draw the audience into her world.

The banquet, which was originally somewhat bustling, and the anxious hearts of everyone present, started to calm down because of her voice.

Almost no one said a word. They were all listening attentively to the song that rang in their ears. Even the waiters, who were serving drinks, didn’t dare to move too much when they had to take glasses or pour wine.

You Yu stood in a corner and couldn’t help sighing inwardly as she thought to herself, “With such an atmosphere like this, God forbid that Tang Guo won’t be all the rage.”

Yet the song was over as quickly as it had started.

The very instant everyone woke up from the dream that the song had brought them into, they looked at the woman on the stage.

Everyone was infatuated with her, intoxicated by her, and felt pure, simple appreciation for her. And naturally, some people there had lust in their eyes.

“Miss Tang’s voice is really very different,” said a middle-aged man. He had a gentle, refined appearance and also looked quite well-maintained. He was the organizer of this banquet. “I really made the right choice in inviting Miss Tang this time.”

“I just don’t know if Miss Tang will honor me with a performance if I were to invite her to the next banquet?”

Tang Guo’s lips curved slightly into a smile as she replied, “Of course.”

Her voice also brought Leng Rui back to his senses.

For some reason, at this point in time, he no longer felt the need to leave.

The few people around him were exchanging meaningful glances with one another. Their eyes were ablaze with adoration as they looked at Tang Guo.

“Miss Tang, I’ve heard your songs before, but I never realized how very young you are and how good you are at singing. Those few songs are even on my phone now. I listen to them almost every day.”

“It was only after listening to you live that I realized that your voice is even more perfect than it is on the recording.”

All kinds of men were gathering around Tang Guo as they rained compliments on her. Leng Rui saw this scene and couldn’t help but recall the dream he’d had earlier on.

“Leng Rui, this is my new sugar daddy.”

“Leng Rui, I have a whole bunch of men behind me waiting for their turn to support me.”

That dream was like a curse clouding his mind. The little smile he’d had on his face disappeared without a trace.

When Leng Rui looked up again, the woman, who had been surrounded by countless men, had already disappeared.

He was quite annoyed, and he started to frown. Stubbing out his cigarette, he got up, making to leave.

“Mr. Leng, why don’t you stay for a while longer?”

Leng Rui looked at the person who had said this. What did they mean? What else was there to stay for?

The person who had spoken to him was still feeling a little nervous. But thinking about the preparations he had made on his side, he felt somewhat more courageous.

“Tonight, we have a special gift prepared for you, Mr. Leng. Why don’t you take a look at it before leaving?”

Leng Rui instantly understood what the “special gift” was. Most likely women.

“No need.”

A few people watched Leng Rui leave, feeling helpless and a little dejected.

It was obvious that Leng Rui had been looking at Tang Guo very intently earlier on. Why was he no longer interested?

“Then we’re going to let her go?” somebody asked hesitantly.

Another person said, “What a pity to let her go. There aren’t many opportunities like this. She’s a newbie, and she’s still so pure and valuable. After a while, the novelty will wear off.”

“Just because Leng Rui doesn’t want her, doesn’t mean that others don’t.”

“That’s true. It can’t be that we always end up with nothing to gain, right?”

The driver was already waiting outside the banquet hall. Leng Rui opened the door to the car and was just about to get inside when out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a fat, middle-aged man with a big pot belly and an untidy appearance.
