Chapter 1274 Something happened! ?
Tang Tang chuckled, ignoring the obvious probing in her words, and said directly, "Is that so? Actually, it's because I was just too busy before..."
She looked up at the many people around her, her voice slightly raised, as if conveying a message, "You know, my father left me many businesses, in China, Italy..."
"After coming to the US, I'll be busy with classes, so time is too tight. I regret that I haven't gotten to know you all before."
She gave a meaningful laugh and said, "After all, I really enjoy making friends. Some things are easier to discuss between friends, aren't they?"
friend!
That's a really beautiful word.
In Europe and America, even enemies can be hypocritically called friends. Everyone is trying to maintain a respectable image, wanting to make themselves shine as if they were standing in the center of a stage.
Clearly, Tang Tang's words had elicited some reactions from many people... Whether she had signaled her willingness to socialize was already a question on many people's minds, and they were secretly considering whether to find an opportunity to invite her to participate again.
If we get to know each other a few more times, we'll become friends, right? Maybe we can even use Tang Tang's identity to meet Mr. Edmund.
Alexander Cole immediately broke into a friendly smile and nodded in agreement, “We all welcome new friends… Honestly, Miss Newman, your appearance is a surprise to all of us.”
"Hey, it's been a long time since we've seen such an outstanding young person like you in the US region. Everyone is looking forward to winning your favor."
Anyone can say nice things, and Tang Tang, elegant and composed, returned the compliment, "Mr. Cole, you're exaggerating. You know, the bio-prosthetic eye that Osiris Biotechnology developed this year has also received widespread praise, hasn't it?"
Tang Tang smiled slightly, "I have been keeping an eye on the stock market. The stock price of Osiris Biotechnology has been steadily climbing."
“Hahahaha,” Alexander Cole smiled happily, then looked at Tang Tang and said, “Who knows, Osiris Biotechnology might cooperate with Telos in the future. Although this is only our first meeting, I really admire Miss Newman.”
"Why don't you just call me by my name instead of being so formal?"
A significant difference between Europe and America and China is that in China, it is generally considered polite and respectful to address someone by their surname followed by Mr./Ms./their title.
However, in Europe and America, many people prefer to be addressed by their first name, regardless of age, because many believe that addressing someone by their first name is the way to refer to them personally, without any added connotations of "Mr.", "Ms.", or title.
In some families, children may not call their parents "Mom" or "Father" directly, but may call them by their first names.
It could be someone your age, an elder, or someone you work with.
Therefore, even though Tang Tang is now more than 20 years younger than Alexander, Alexander doesn't mind being called by his name.
Tang Tang didn't mind at all, and said quite frankly, "Oh, of course, Alexander... you can call me by my name too, after all, we're friends, aren't we?"
Regardless of who they are, since they've just met and haven't betrayed each other yet, they're all good friends.
Compared to the slick Alexander, Esther Finch was much more serious.
She was clearly not as casual as Alexander, but Tang Tang had a very good impression of her. Esther Finch gave Tang Tang the feeling of a strict teacher instructing students during the college entrance examination.
It has a serious yet surprisingly reliable feel to it.
Of course, Tang Tang didn't know much about this woman's character, but there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
With Alexander, who could speak to people in a human way and to ghosts in a ghost way, Tang Tang soon found herself toasting with many people who came up to socialize with her.
“Miss Newman, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I am… this is my wife… we’re in the banking business…”
“Hey, Miss Newman! Good evening, and you too, Alexander… Miss Newman, your dress tonight is absolutely gorgeous.”
"Oh, Miss Newman! I thought you would be attending the banquet with Mr. Tang Yu. I didn't expect to see Mr. Sterling here!"
Regardless of Alexander's true intentions, Tang Tang accepted his favor. Many people clearly knew Alexander, and he introduced them to Tang Tang.
There were quite a few people here. Fortunately, Tang Tang had a photographic memory; otherwise, someone else might not have remembered them at all.
Among these people are private bankers from the US, philanthropists, and seafood tycoons... Of course, there are also many celebrities, famous sports stars, reality show mentors, and so on.
In the US, everything is quantified by capital. Fame and influence are also forms of capital, which is why many celebrities hold high positions because they can amass enormous wealth.
One of the insurance company executives seemed to be closer to Alexander, so he didn't leave after saying goodbye, but stayed there instead.
Tang Tang noticed him looking at the group of people with some curiosity, then whispered, "Miss Newkman...hey, and you, Alexander, do you know where Mr. Croft went?"
Tang Tang raised an eyebrow slightly, looked at Alexander, and then said, "Yes, speaking of which, why hasn't Mr. Croft, the initiator of the banquet, shown up yet?"
Alexander shook his head as well, "I'm not sure."
Just then, a sharp scream suddenly rang out from somewhere. The screaming female voice was filled with terror and fear, directly shattering the harmonious atmosphere of the banquet.
Many guests who were chatting happily with their glasses raised suddenly let out sounds of fear.
"Ah? What's wrong?"
"Oh my god, who's screaming? What's going on?"
"Oh, where's the security guard? What happened? Go check it out!"
However, many people, thinking of Reginald's long absence, gradually showed a hint of surprise and speculation on their faces.
Tang Tang frowned slightly, a few questions arising in her mind. She looked at Alexander and the others, then at Edwin and said, "I think the sound is coming from behind? Maybe in the back garden... Shall we go take a look?"
Alexander's face also showed some worry. He nodded and said, "Oh, it sounds like something has happened. I'll call security, and we'll go take a look together."
"We can't let the guests wander around; it would be terrible if something really happened."
Esther Finch, who had just gone to catch up with a friend, came back with a serious expression and said, "Go find a staff member first."
