I've become Superman, and now you're talking about the resurgence of spiritual energy?

Jiang Jingyun and Su Xin went to the park parking lot together. Su Xin parked next to an AMG GLE 53, unlocked the car, and opened the door.

"You can sit in the passenger seat." Su Xin got into the car.

"Um, Ms. Su, are you alone?" Jiang Jingyun sat in the passenger seat and noticed that Su Xin seemed to be alone.

He had wanted to ask about it on the way, and when he realized the car was empty, he couldn't help but tentatively ask.

"Isn't there you too? My uncle and aunt will be going too. There are four of us from our company going," Su Xin replied, seemingly not answering the question.

"That's right, it's less awkward with more familiar faces, which is perfect for a social novice like me." Jiang Jingyun nodded, made a self-deprecating remark, and then fell silent.

He was almost certain that Su Xin was an older single woman.

No wonder the female assistant, Xiao Li, said that just now.

In this day and age, it seems quite normal. With Su Xin's wealth, if she can't marry into a wealthy family, she'll probably just remain a spinster.

I guess he needed to bring a companion to the party, so he brought him along.

The reception was held at the Wanghu Hotel, a five-star hotel located next to the Sixth Park, which is only half an hour away from the University Town in the west of the city.

As they got out of the car, Su Xin took Jiang Jingyun's arm. "You need to be a gentleman."

The aroma of citrus blended with a subtle scent of jasmine and rose wafted over, causing Jiang Jingyun's entire body to tense up.

He smiled, feigning composure, and led Su Xin inside.

He had never attended such a party before, but he had experience attending relatives' weddings and knew how to find the venue. To hide his slightly racing heart, he entered the hotel lobby and started looking for it.

With a quick glance, he spotted a sign.

"Go that way." Without pausing for a moment, he headed straight for the elevator on the left.

With his current eyesight, he can locate targets much more accurately and quickly. This is a five-star hotel with a very large lobby, and the signs are quite far away, but he can see them clearly.

"I hope we haven't gone to the wrong place." Su Xin wanted to stop by the sign to take a closer look, afraid that Jiang Jingyun might not have understood it.

"No, although I've never attended a party like this before, I'm still pretty good at finding my way around." Jiang Jingyun smiled slightly, no longer as reserved as before.

The elevator has reached the third floor.

After exiting the elevator, Jiang Jingyun turned left and continued leading Su Xin straight to the venue.

"This is it. You really know your stuff." Seeing the large sign at the entrance, Su Xin gave Jiang Jingyun a thumbs up.

"I'm following the signs," Jiang Jingyun answered honestly.

"Madam, sir, this is the reception area for Da Xiong Electric Appliances. Invitations are required." A waiter standing at the door bowed slightly and reminded them.

"Here." Su Xin took the invitation out of her handbag.

"Please come in, both of you." Any invitation can be used to bring a companion, and the waiter handed it over with both hands after looking at it.

Su Xin accepted the invitation and went inside with Jiang Jingyun.

Many people have already arrived, most of them gathered in groups, and only a few are alone.

Jiang Jingyun's gaze swept across the banquet hall and then settled on a corner.

【vampire】

A white label—it's unbelievable that a label appeared at this kind of cocktail party.

He was a young man in his thirties with a good physique, clearly someone who worked out regularly. He had a slicked-back hairstyle and, unusually, wasn't wearing glasses.

Most women don't wear glasses, not because they don't need glasses, but because they wear contact lenses.

Men generally don't wear contact lenses, and there were only five people in the entire venue who didn't wear glasses, including Jiang Jingyun.

Su Longwen also arrived. He whispered something to the person next to him, then tapped the back of a middle-aged woman next to him, and the two of them came over together.

"Xiao Xin, you're here, and Xiao Jiang is here too," Su Longwen greeted them.

"President Su." Jiang Jingyun turned his gaze away from the label and greeted her.

"He must be the new guy." The middle-aged woman smiled and had been staring at Jiang Jingyun ever since she noticed Su Xin's arrival.

"This is Director Li Huirou, who is also my aunt. She is in charge of the live-streaming e-commerce business. Apart from not being on camera, she is responsible for all the other matters."

Su Xin began the introductions, "This is Jiang Jingyun, who is in charge of the combat series collaboration."

"Hello, Mr. Li," Jiang Jingyun said.

"Hello, hello. I've heard a lot of people in the company mention Mr. Jiang. They say he's handsome and capable. Haha, seeing is believing," Li Huirou said with a chuckle.

"That's a bit of an overstatement," Jiang Jingyun said.

"Alright, let's go over there first. Xiao Xin, take Xiao Jiang around and let him meet more people," Su Longwen said.

"Okay, Uncle Wen, Aunt Huirou, you two go ahead with your work."

Just after parting ways with Su Longwen and his wife, before Su Xin and Jiang Jingyun had even gone anywhere else, a man with a slicked-back hairstyle bearing the "vampire" label quickly walked over from the corner.

"Chairman Su, we meet again. What a coincidence!"

The man with the slicked-back hair, sporting a "vampire" label, said something, then pointed at Jiang Jingyun, "And this is?"

"He is Jiang Jingyun."

Su Xin didn't go into much detail about Jiang Jingyun's background. After saying his name, she immediately introduced Jiang Jingyun to his slicked-back hairstyle.

"This is Zhao Jiaren, Boss Zhao."

"Hello, Boss Zhao." Jiang Jingyun greeted him politely, but his eyes were fixed on the top of Zhao Jiaren's head because a task had appeared.

【Task】

[Prevent the "vampire" and the "valkyrie" from having any alone time until the party ends or either the "valkyrie" or the "vampire" leaves the party.]

[Reward: 1 point]

"So it's Mr. Jiang Jingyun, hello, hello." Zhao Jiaren extended his hand and warmly shook hands with Jiang Jingyun.

As is basic social etiquette, Jiang Jingyun naturally extended his hand to shake hands with the other person.

As their hands clasped together, Jiang Jingyun felt Zhao Jiaren's grip tighten suddenly. Normally, a handshake is just a quick clasp and then it's done; it's just basic courtesy.

But Zhao Jiaren's grip tightened, and he showed no sign of loosening it.

What does this guy mean? Is he trying to intimidate me? Jiang Jingyun continued to smile, and then tightened his grip.

Zhao Jiaren, who had been looking at Jiang Jingyun with amusement, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and his face contorted in pain.

Zhao Jiaren had no choice but to release his grip, but Jiang Jingyun did not let go and continued to exert force until Zhao Jiaren cried out in pain before Jiang Jingyun finally released his grip.

"Mr. Jiang has quite a strong grip," Zhao Jiaren said with a forced smile.

"Hehe, I just work out regularly. Boss Zhao must work out regularly too, right?" Jiang Jingyun said, but in his heart he was thinking, "Holy crap."

Because Zhao Jiaren's white "vampire" label suddenly turned red when he was speaking.

This is a case of getting your name turned red just by shaking hands.

That's an exaggeration, my friend. But you're holding onto someone's hand tightly, not letting go, and trying to intimidate them.

After suffering a setback, their name immediately turned red.

Through this change in the color of Zhao Jiaren's label, Jiang Jingyun gained a deeper understanding of red names, which meant that they were not just monsters, but also enemies or hostile targets.
