Tang Ling's close girlfriends also came. Besides celebrating Tang Ling's birthday, they could also get to know some young talents. The people who could come here were no ordinary ones. The guests were all very happy. Everyone was used to this kind of life and the style of GAD was really different. However, Tang Ling, as the hostess, wasn't very happy. Because she was waiting for someone, but that person hadn't arrived yet. Tang Ling had never lacked pursuers. It might be a bit of an exaggeration to say that she could have any kind of man she wanted, but ever since she became aware of her own beauty, no man could resist her charm, and she didn't have a spoiled temperament either. But for the first time ever, she had been let down! Since the day she gave the invitation to that Li Feng, he hadn't sent any message at all. There had been no contact for two whole weeks. This was simply unimaginable. Usually, as long as she gave a slight hint, those men would swarm around her like bees to honey. But this time, for the first time when she took the initiative to invite someone, the other party didn't respond at all. However, her pride and self-esteem still made her refrain from observing him again. She was going to give him a hard time at this birthday banquet, but he actually dared to stand her up! And without any reason or apology! The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and the angrier she got, the more she thought about it! This was probably something that Miss Tang had never experienced before. She thought she shouldn't care too much about such a small matter. Maybe the other party had something important to do, or was too timid. After all, such a grand occasion might be a bit overwhelming for an ordinary student. Or maybe he didn't have the right clothes? Countless speculations flashed through her mind, but Tang Ling still couldn't let it go. "Hey, hey, my dear Miss Tang. There's such a lively scene downstairs, but you, as the hostess, are sitting here daydreaming. This isn't the way to treat guests." A tall figure appeared. She was wearing a gorgeous light red dress that perfectly accentuated her devilish figure - full and shapely breasts, a captivating slender waist, and those straight, beautiful legs, paired with delicate high heels. She was simply a man-killer. With a little light makeup on her face, she looked radiant. This was a mature woman, probably at the most beautiful stage of a woman's life. Presumably, few men could resist her charm. "Miss Zhou is getting more and more beautiful. I was just thinking about something." Tang Ling smiled gracefully as if nothing had happened. "Oh, really? Look at your little hands. They're turning white. How hard were you squeezing? Who made my dear sister so angry? Tell me, and I'll teach him a lesson for you!" Zhou Zhi was someone special. She was a senior official in a special department of USE, at the top-secret level. Even Tang Ling wasn't very clear about her exact position. It was just that their family's business dealings with the military always involved her, so they were quite familiar with each other. Zhou Zhi was a super beauty. It was obvious that even Tang Ling's father could hardly resist her charm. Such a glamorous woman was most likely to arouse men's desire to conquer. Unfortunately, she was from the military and had a deep background. People could only look at her. Tang Ling looked at Zhou Zhi with admiration. She was really beautiful, with every aspect being the epitome of a woman. Actually, in the eyes of men, the two were on the same level, just different in type. The moment these two were chatting upstairs, they immediately attracted the attention of countless men. The young ones were a bit more unrestrained, while some of the others were stealing glances. After all, everyone loves beauty. Tang Ling was a smart girl. She knew she couldn't hide it from Zhou Zhi. "Miss Zhou, it's nothing. Just a friend who didn't show up as promised. Maybe he had something to do." "Oh, really? There's actually a man who stood you up? If I were a man, I'd crawl my way here even if it killed me." "Miss Zhou, when did I say it was a man?" Tang Ling was a bit overwhelmed. She was no match for Zhou Zhi when it came to this kind of topic. "Come on, tell me about it. I'm quite curious." Tang Ling didn't avoid the topic. There was nothing to hide anyway. She just thought Li Feng was a bit different. If she didn't talk about it now, it might really cause misunderstandings. The speaker might not have meant anything, but the listener took it to heart. Tang Ling had been involved in business since she was young. It wasn't just because she was smart. There were plenty of smart people these days. For a large consortium like GAD, even though Tang Ling was the only heir, they wouldn't have let her participate in the management at such a young age. There was only one reason, and that was Tang Ling's intuition. She always had some simple but very useful premonitions about some people and things. So far, she had never been wrong. She might not be able to utilize it herself, but her judgments could play a very important role in the hands of GAD and the military. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a kind of precognitive superpower. An ordinary student could attract Tang Ling's attention and she even took the initiative to send him an invitation. This wasn't a simple matter. It showed that the other party had left a very deep impression on Tang Ling. He was either a talent or an extremely dangerous person. Zhou Zhi didn't show much on the surface. She just teased a few words, but this person had been firmly remembered by her. It was a sunny Monday morning, but Li Feng was frowning. Anyone would be unable to bear being nagged all morning. "God, Li Feng, you should have told me earlier. If you couldn't go, as your good friend, I would have gone through fire and water for you, let alone a birthday party!" When he learned that Tang Ling had invited Li Feng to the birthday party, Maka's first reaction was that this guy must have been sleepwalking. But when he saw the invitation, he went crazy. God, if it were him who received this invitation, he would have rushed over even if there was a nuclear blast outside. But Li Feng had so easily given up this opportunity to get in touch with Tang Ling. If Li Feng wasn't interested in Tang Ling, that would be one thing. But he had clearly had a crush on her for a long time. Alas, what a pity! "Student Maka, please, can you stop repeating this topic? I'm sorry, really sorry. Are you satisfied now? What's done is done. Is there any regret medicine for sale in the world?" "Alas, that's true. Our technology is too backward. It's already the 23rd century, but the time machine hasn't been invented yet. So backward." Looking at Maka who was lost in his fantasy, Li Feng was really speechless. He could even daydream about this. He had always been saying that Tang Ling was nothing, but now his true colors were showing. However, to be honest, Li Feng only had a faint sense of regret in his heart. Since coming out of the illusory realm, Li Feng was no longer the old Li Feng.
