Others joined in with joking complaints, but their expressions were relatively calm.
Just then, Zhang Haoyu’s phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket.
He put down his wine glass, took out his phone, looked at it, and immediately answered the call, loudly saying: "Hello, sis! Are you done?"
Upon hearing his salutation, the surroundings gradually quieted down.
"Oh oh, we’re all at Building 4; Minghao, Meiqi, and Ni are all here."
"It’ll still be a while before it’s over."
Excitement instantly showed on Zhang Haoyu’s face, "Ah? Really? Alright, alright! I know! Okay!"
"Don’t worry sis! I know what’s important!"
After hanging up the phone, Ding Yao eagerly asked: "Haoyu! Is Sister Lili coming?"
The others also looked on with concern.
Zhang Haoyu took a deep breath and excitedly said: "My sister just finished the call with Xie Yue. Originally, President Xie wanted to personally drive my sister home, but after knowing she was coming to Building 4 for cake, he suggested coming along. They won’t stay long, just sit with my sister for a couple of minutes and leave."
Hearing his words, Ding Yao screamed "Ah" with a flushed face, saying: "Young Master Xie is coming too! Sister Lili is amazing!"
"Holy shit! The value of this birthday party just went up!"
"Yeah, Yaoyao, you’re so lucky!"
Soon, the living room was filled with surprised discussions. Those playing games in the entertainment area also curiously gathered around.
Quickly, details about Handing Group and Xie Yue spread throughout the crowd.
Everyone’s faces showed excitement.
As a famous real estate developer in Yan Province, Handing Group has immense strength and background.
As the heir and Vice President of the group, Xie Yue naturally wasn’t comparable to their typical rich second generation.
Even their parents couldn’t compare.
Listening to the surrounding discussions, Zhang Haoyu, standing at the center of the crowd, had a face glowing with pride and joy.
His sister truly had clout; even someone like Xie Yue had to treat her carefully.
Thinking about this, he couldn’t help but look in Tang Song’s direction.
Since Tang Song arrived, the birthday party had revolved around him, and Qian Lele had been particularly attached to him; Zhang Haoyu couldn’t help but feel a bit stifled.
Now he finally had his moment.
Next, he saw a calm and indifferent face.
Zhang Haoyu froze for a moment, awkwardly retracting his gaze, feeling a sense of frustration with no outlet.
Su Minghao suggested: "Building 10 isn’t far, if we drive there it will be quick, let’s go pick them up!"
Soon, the villa’s door was opened, letting in gusts of cool wind.
A few men and women who knew Zhang Lili walked toward the outside.
Knowing that important guests were coming and feeling the atmosphere on site, Qian Lele also grew nervous.
Ding Yao took her hand and smiled: "Lele, let’s go together, I’ll introduce Sister Lili to you later."
"Come on, come on, just accompany me."
Qian Lele bit her lip, looked at Tang Song, and met his calm eyes.
For some reason, she suddenly felt less nervous.
It seemed that as long as he was nearby, everything felt so peaceful and safe.
"Brother Song, I’ll go outside with Yaoyao for a bit."
"Ok, go ahead." Tang Song smiled and nodded.
Ding Yao chuckled softly, pulling Qian Lele outside while introducing Zhang Lili in a low voice.
Upon hearing about her master’s degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and being an elite in foreign financial institutions, Qian Lele’s eyes were filled with admiration.
After joining university, she had heard about high wages in the financial industry.
As a top talent like Zhang Lili, her starting salary upon graduation was around half a million.
It was something she couldn’t even dare to imagine.
Stepping out of the villa door, the cool, damp evening wind blew.
Qian Lele took a deep breath, no longer bothering about these thoughts.
"A car is coming in!" "Bentley Mulsanne, it must be Young Master Xie’s."
Qian Lele looked up and saw a black sedan slowly approaching, its wheels lightly turning.
The luxury lacquer sparkled darkly under the lights.
It looked grand and imposing.
Soon, the car stopped in front of the villa door.
The crowd quickly gathered around.
The back door slowly opened, and a man and woman stepped out one after the other.
The man was around 30, with a well-proportioned figure and rugged features, dressed in casual wear, looking particularly laid-back.
The woman appeared to be 27 or 28, wearing a shirt, pants, and gold-rimmed glasses, dignified, elegant, and confidently standing tall.
"Sis, you’re here!" Zhang Haoyu brightly smiled in excitement and loudly said: "Hello, President Xie."
Ding Yao quickly greeted warmly: "Sister Lili, President Xie, welcome to my birthday party!"
Zhang Lili smiled and nodded, briefly introducing Ding Yao to Xie Yue.
"Yaoyao, right? Happy birthday." Xie Yue was very gentle and didn’t put on airs.
Ding Yao excitedly said: "Thank you! Your presence is an honor for me."
This was a genuine big shot, personally attending the birthday party, even wishing her a happy birthday.
Later she had to find a way to take a photo, post it on social media, and shock her parents!
Su Minghao quietly took a step forward and nervously said: "Hello, President Xie."
Seeing Xie Yue’s indifferent response, Su Minghao felt a bit disappointed.
His father ran a building materials company and had some cooperation with Handing Group, and he’d met Xie Yue once before.
But clearly, Xie Yue didn’t remember someone as insignificant as him.
That was normal, after all, he was still in college, probably seen as just a kid by Xie Yue.
