Chapter 621 Tit for tat, Director Jin and Ms. Ouyang
Water bar area.
“That person is Meng Chuan? Wow, he is even more handsome in person than in the photo!”
“Who is he? Why haven’t I seen him before? He’s from out of town?”
"Ziqin, please stop being ridiculous. He is not from our circle. He is a wealthy man from Singapore. It is said that he is only 28 years old and is already the head of the Asia-Pacific region of "Xinghan Investment""
Following Tian Cheng-ye’s grand reception, the young people near the bar were also discussing in low voices around the newly emerged focal figure.
Soon, the information about Meng Chuan’s identity and background quickly spread among this small circle, causing them to sigh in suppressed voices.
They were just invited to a birthday party. They had never heard of a "big shot" of this level attending.
For a time, many people’s eyes showed unconcealable yearning and curiosity.
They are all "quasi-heirs" who have just started to get involved in the family industry, and their assets are only in the billions level at most.
"What is the identity of the foreigner next to him? He looks very arrogant."
Ni Qingli held the wine glass and shook her head: "I don't know, but the identity is certain It's not ordinary, you see, even Meng Chuan is so polite to him.
"These two are so handsome, do you think I should go to Shantou later and ask for my contact information?" A girl was eager to give it a try.
“I still think Xiaojing’s boyfriend is more handsome and has more temperament.”
“This is true, it feels like the Tang and Song Dynasties, there is really a feeling of a two-dimensional male god shining into reality.”
As these words came out, their eyes couldn't help but turn to the direction of Tang and Song.
He stood quietly by the flower arrangement table, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand. The profile of his face was deep and clear under the light, his expression focused and calm, as if all the noise in the outside world had nothing to do with him.
He obviously didn’t do anything deliberately, but he naturally exuded a powerful aura.
It seems that even Meng Chuan's presence did not have any impact on him.
Qin Hua, who had been a little absent-minded, also raised his head following everyone's gaze.
When the eyes fell on the Tang and Song Dynasties, it became extremely complicated.
Up to now, I am still a little bit stunned. My best friend Xiaojing’s boyfriend is actually the owner of Lanfeng International Hotel.
A billionaire under 26 years old.
The key is that his temperament is really incredible.
At this time.
A burst of suppressed noise suddenly sounded in my ears that was even stronger than before.
Qin Hua immediately came back to his senses.
I saw Tian Chengye, his father and others, with expressions of excitement, worry and almost losing their composure on their faces, and they all gathered around the white young man.
Immediately afterwards, Ni Qingli and others also looked over there in surprise.
Soon, with the whispers of insiders, key information spread rapidly among the crowd like ripples.
"Bank of New York Mellon——"
"..Mellon family"
""...Wall Street—America's top plutocrats"
These words seem to come from another world to this group of young people present.
Most of them were sent abroad by their parents to be gilded, and some even studied economics and finance.
It is natural to understand the weight behind these names.
Qin Hua had an extremely wrong expression on his face.
Looking blankly at the elegant but arrogant white young man, I felt that my breathing became a little difficult.
She is a career-minded person, otherwise she would not have thought about competing with her brother for the inheritance rights of the Zhongcheng Group.
Her college education was at the New York University Stern School of Business in the United States, majoring in economics.
What is the New York Mellon family?
It is the skeleton of the global financial system, the asset custodian of countless hedge funds and sovereign wealth funds, and the top of the pyramid of the capital world.
In class, she had come across this name countless times in case studies, and she had also longed for the scenery at the top of Wall Street capital countless times.
But after all, it’s just a thought.
But I never expected that I would meet a real Mellon family member at my best friend’s birthday party today.
"Huahua, come here quickly!"
Her father Qin Dechang's somewhat urgent call interrupted her thoughts.
She suddenly came back to her senses and walked over quickly.
"Dad, Uncle Tian."
"Come on, Hua Hua," Qin Dechang pulled his daughter to his side and introduced with some pride on his face, "This is my daughter,
Qin Hua, who previously studied abroad at New York University's Stern School of Business, has a pretty good level of English. Hua Hua. Hua, Mr. Mellon's Chinese is not very good, please help us with the translation."
He paused and added, as if to explain, but also as a hint: "Mr. Meng and Mr. Mellon are distinguished guests after all, we can't always let him accommodate us."
Qin Hua's heart skipped a beat, and his face flushed with excitement.
She knew that this was her father creating opportunities for herself.
In tonight’s “special” birthday party, Meng Chuan and Mellon are undoubtedly the most important ones.
If she can show herself and make such top connections, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to her development.
Qin Hua immediately suppressed all the waves in his heart, with a decent smile on his face, and said hello to Meng Chuan first.
Then he said nervously: "Mr. Mellon, apleasure to meet you—" (
(Mr. Mellon, nice to meet you.
I am Qin Hua, welcome to Yancheng. )
Conrad Mellon looked at the oriental girl with exquisite makeup in front of him, and his eyes stayed for a moment.
The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he responded in English: "Ms. Qin, it's nice to meet you too. Your English is very good, and you are very beautiful."
Although this compliment was polite, it had a hint of the evaluation style of a superior to a subordinate.
Tian Chengye looked at Qin Hua who was talking to Meng Chuan and Conrad, his eyes flashed.
Of course he understood what Qin Dechang meant. He hoped that Qin Hua would gain their favor and develop further.
He looked at the position of Tang Song and his daughter, his eyes flickered, and he sighed secretly.
Although he has taken root in Yancheng and has become famous locally, he has limitations after all.
Being in the prime of life in his forties, he also dreams of leading his family to continue to climb up.
Otherwise, he would not take huge risks, "allin" himself is not completely familiar with the new energy track.
There is no doubt that the heir to a top family office in the Asia-Pacific region like Meng Chuan is the "ladder" he has always dreamed of.
He has had many contacts with the other party and has also inquired about the other party’s personality. Overall, he is very good.
And it can quickly get him out of his current predicament.
However, it is obviously impossible now.
With Qin Hua as the "icebreaker".
Some other bolder second-generation rich women who also had overseas study backgrounds immediately plucked up the courage to surround him.
Using their fluent or broken English, they chatted excitedly with the two "VIPs".
Facing these young and beautiful girls.
Meng Chuan has always maintained the image of a graceful young master, and his humorous speech made the girls burst into laughter.
Make the atmosphere warm without losing style.
Conrad Mellon, on the other hand, is much more distant, always with scrutiny and playfulness in his eyes.
After all, for him, this is just an ordinary social party taking place in a foreign country.
What’s more, I hope to have some fun after work.
The entire social center of the banquet hall was completely occupied by them.
Next to the flower arrangement table.
Xiaojing looked at Meng Chuan and the two men who were surrounded by stars in the middle, and couldn't help but curled her lips slightly, feeling annoyed in her heart.
Finally, the Tang and Song Dynasty adults appeared like gods and became the protagonists of the whole scene.
As a result, these two guys came out and stole all the limelight!
She originally planned that even if Meng Chuan came over, she could use the identities of Shangguan Qiuya and Zheng Qiudong to launch a strong counterattack after a while.
But who would have thought that Old Zhengtou still hasn’t come yet!
When she took the stage to give a speech of thanks later, even if Shangguan Qiuya's identity was revealed, the shock would be limited.
After all, Sister Shangguan is only Director Jin’s assistant, not Director Jin himself.
But then again, if Jin Meixiao from Smile Holdings really appears, wouldn’t it be the same as the empress who has activated the "Overlord Color and Dominance"?
All of them had to step aside, and everything was going to fall apart.
After all, she was a proud woman who truly stood at the top of the business world.
Seemingly thinking of something, Xiaojing secretly raised her eyes to look at her boyfriend beside her.
He still looked calm and calm, as if the noisy "Vanity Fair" outside had nothing to do with him.
He didn’t even pay attention to Meng Chuan and the others. When he glanced over occasionally, there was only a kind of indifference and calmness from the bottom of his heart.
It is somewhat similar to the merciless Director Jin in her impression.
Looking at this "god-like" posture, Xiao Shizunanako seemed to be being lightly scratched by countless feathers.
It was itchy, astringent, and watery,
After seeing her mother, Chen Man, also leaving with the group of ladies, she couldn't help but move her body closer to him.
"Xiaojing." Tang Song's cool and pleasant voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
Xiaojing quickly raised her head, put away her little thoughts in an instant, and responded sweetly: "Here you are, Song!"
Looking at each other, she met a pair of eyes as deep as the abyss, with a hint of scrutiny.
At that moment, Xiaojing felt as if she had been completely stripped naked.
Being seen inside and out, I couldn’t help but squeeze my legs.
Tang Song stretched out his hand and grabbed her slender waist irresistibly. His voice was low and cold: "Is there something you want to hide from me?"
"No, no, I didn't." Xiaojing closed her legs, her eyes filled with mist.
This voice, this temperament, this sense of oppression - it's simply too powerful.
Looking at his perverted Bai Fumei friend, the corner of Tang Song's mouth raised a subtle arc.
The fingers around her waist squeezed hard.
"Ah!" Xiaojing let out a suppressed cry of pain or enjoyment, her voice was soft and waxy, "Song - I -"
The sudden punishment, coupled with Tang Song's posture at this time, almost made her fall to the ground.
Tang Song looked into her eyes, his tone still indifferent: "Did something happen to Uncle Tian? Also, what happened to Lin Jingming and Meng Chuan today?"
Based on his current state, through a few words and the reactions of everyone present, combined with the observation of Xiaojing, he has already guessed a lot.
He also found that he seemed to have "misjudged" Xiao Jing before.
I originally thought she just had some cute and perverted little hobbies, but she is still well-behaved and sweet.
But after the observation just now, as well as some contact details that he had ignored in the past, he suddenly discovered that she was far from being as innocent as she appeared.
"Don't speak?" Tang Song's voice was a little colder, "It seems that you want to be 'punished'?" 》
Xiaojing’s body trembled even more, but her eyes shone with excitement and desire.
She bit her lower lip, with an aggrieved and helpless tone,
She took the initiative to "confess": "Private Marseille, Brother Tang and Song, I was wrong.
Yes, it's dad - he specially invited Meng Chuan and Lin Jingming here, thinking Let me "communicate" with them at the birthday party. One of the reasons for my choice is that Huineng Electronics, which my father invested in, has encountered a major crisis and is about to go bankrupt. Both Lin Jingming and Meng Chuan can save it. I'm sorry for brother Tang and Song, but I'm sorry for you-"
Xiaojing's voice was very low, only two people could hear it.
It looks like a kitten that has done something wrong and is confessing to its owner and begging for mercy.
Tang Song’s expression did not change at all, he just asked calmly: "What else?"
"I... didn't-ah!" There was a clear pain on Xiaojing's skin with her back to the flower arrangement table.
A sickly flush appeared uncontrollably on her cheeks, and her eyes became confused.
This kind of secret punishment in public made her unable to resist.
Tang Song lowered his head slightly, enjoying Xiaojing's trembling reaction, while whispering in her ear: "It seems that you are very dishonest. Let's have a good talk tonight. I will teach you how to correct the mistakes you made one by one."
"Okay, okay, Mr. Tang and Song—"
Xiaojing accidentally said her name in the fantasy world again, and she was so excited that she almost couldn't stand still.
At this moment, two waitresses came over carrying silver trays.
They wore uniform, tailored hotel uniforms, simple silver masks, and their steps were elegant and synchronized.
One of the waiters walked up to Tang Song and bowed slightly.
Handing over the champagne on the tray, his voice was clear and sweet, "Mr. Tang, this is the Perrier-Jouët specially prepared for you."
Tang Song picked up a glass casually, his slender fingers forming an elegant contrast with the cold body of the glass.
His eyes met her curious and nervous eyes through the gap in the mask.
The waitress nodded slightly and said in a calm voice, "Thank you."
The waitress's face turned red, she quickly retracted her gaze, and turned away with her companion.
Tang Song looked at Na’s back, lowered his head and took a sip of champagne, the bubbles delicately exploding on the tip of his tongue.
The one just now was Pei Yanke, who we met once before, and the other one should be Xiao Meiqi from the Echo girl group.
His gaze swept around the banquet hall without leaving any trace.
Soon, three other similarly "out of place" figures were captured near the bar area and dessert table.
As top artist idols, their posture, eyes, temperament, and the kind of deportment management that always maintains in front of the camera are beyond the comparison of ordinary waiters.
Tang and Song Dynasties had browsed their information on the Internet before. Now in this special state, everyone's information can instantly correspond to real people.
Regarding their appearance, he only thought about it briefly and understood the arrangement behind it.
It was probably the work of Su Yu and Mo Xiangwan.
Seeing the waiter leave, Xiaojing next to her was holding champagne and bit her lip.
Just when he was about to say something more and continue to stimulate Tang Song's "punishment" on himself, his expression suddenly froze.
Meng Chuan, who was surrounded by people not far away, had already looked through the crowd towards this side.
Immediately afterwards, everyone, including Tian Chengye and Qin Hua, turned around and walked towards them.
Xiaojing immediately changed back to the sweet and well-behaved Bai Fumei.
Smiling to greet everyone coming.
"Come on, come on, Mr. Meng Chuan, Mr. Mellon." Tian Chengye walked at the front enthusiastically, "This is my daughter, Tian Jing."
Meng Chuan's eyes first fell on Tang Song, who stood next to Xiao Jing and had an outstanding temperament.
He paused for a moment, and a strange look flashed through his eyes.
Immediately, he turned his attention to tonight's heroine, with a bright and confident smile on his face: "Ms. Tian, happy birthday. You are much more beautiful in person than in the photos."
As he spoke, he clasped his hands in front of him seemingly casually.
When I opened it again, there was already a beautifully designed and shining Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet in my palm.
The whole movement is free and natural, full of smoothness and elegance like a magician.
It instantly caused the girls around to express their excitement and scream.
"Thank you." Xiaojing smiled and nodded.
"Could you please, beautiful heroine, extend your hand and let me wear this little blessing for you?"
Meng Chuan smiled, his tone was gentle and appropriate, full of gentlemanly demeanor that was hard to refuse.
However, Xiaojing did not reach out her hand immediately.
She turned her head and looked at Tang Song beside her, meeting his deep and calm eyes.
"Thank you, Mr. Meng, the gift is too expensive. I'd better put it away first and wear it later."
With Tian Jing's sudden refusal, the atmosphere at the scene instantly became extremely awkward.
Tian Chengye’s mind was spinning a thousand times and he took a deep breath.
The decision was made quickly.
He stepped forward with a smile and broke the awkward atmosphere: "Haha, it's all my fault, I forgot to introduce you two. This is Jingjing's boyfriend, Tang Song. This is Meng Chuan, Mr. Meng from Xinghan Investment, a top family office in Singapore."
Although he is extremely eager to climb up to Meng Chuan's high branch, he loves his daughter after all.
Since Tang Song’s identity and strength have shown that he is completely worthy of it, he will never force his daughter to do anything she doesn’t want to do for the sake of his own business interests.
He is also willing to stand up and protect his daughter.
Hearing these words, Meng Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gentle eyes gradually became colder.
Immediately, he turned his attention to the Tang and Song Dynasties.
He put on that princely smile again, waiting for the other party to introduce himself.
However, Tang Song just looked at him calmly, as if still waiting for him to "bow down".
Haha.
Meng Chuan sneered in his heart.
Although he behaves in an impeccable manner, after all, he comes from a top-notch family and is the heir whom the family has focused on cultivating, so he has more arrogance than anyone else.
He may not care about "blind dates" or beautiful women, but when faced with other people's provocations, it is absolutely impossible to see this tit-for-tat scene.
A layer of fine cold sweat instantly broke out on Tian Chengye’s forehead.
The other guests around also held their breaths, with stunned expressions on their faces.
Meng Chuan’s identity was displayed there, and there was a member of the Mellon family standing next to him, but Tang and Song Dynasties behaved too arrogantly, even arrogantly and contemptuously.
Isn’t this too overestimating one’s capabilities?
Qin Hua looked at his best friend Xiaojing, then at Tang and Song, and felt a ridiculous and complicated feeling in his heart.
At this moment, Conrad Mellon, who had been watching this scene with great interest, couldn't help but chuckle.
He patted Meng Chuan on the shoulder, took a step forward, ignored Tang Song, and looked directly at Xiaojing with his aggressive blue eyes.
He scanned her pretty face and sexy figure without hesitation.
Then he stretched out his hand and said in a gesture that could not be refused: "HappyBirthday, Ms.\nTian" - (Happy Birthday,
Miss Tian. You are stunningly beautiful. Can I have the honor to express my appreciation? )"
Conrad Mellon's provocative behavior instantly solidified the atmosphere at the scene.
But no one dared to speak at this time.
The smile on Xiaojing's face also faded. She just stood quietly beside Tang Song and did not reach out.
In this tense confrontation.
In the corner, Shangguan Qiuya, who was sitting with Xu Qing and seemed unusually quiet from beginning to end, stood up and walked straight over there.
Look at her back.
Xu Qing slapped her mouth, her big dark eyes shining with excitement.
In her opinion, the scene in front of her was simply the plot of a novel that she had conceived countless times in her mind, now being played out in front of her!
This not only gave her abundant creative inspiration, but it was also so exciting!
Anyway, in her eyes, Xiao Songzi in this situation is the most perfect domineering CEO hero in her novels, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be wronged in the slightest!
Seeing that the deadlock was about to end, Tian Chengye gritted his teeth and was about to step forward to say something.
Tang and Song on the opposite side suddenly moved.
He turned sideways casually, picked up a freshly trimmed white rose from the flower arrangement tube, and handed it to Xiaojing's free hand.
He looked at Conrad calmly and said slowly: "Mr.\nMellon, inourculture, agentleman"—
(Mei Mr. Long, in our culture, a gentleman will not ask for a handshake when a woman has something in her hand, especially when her boyfriend is standing next to her)"
Even when facing Meng Chuan and Conrad.
His appearance is always impeccable, elegant and noble; his face is always calm, calm and casual.
It doesn’t seem to be any different from treating other people. .
People around me started to breathe cautiously.
异、愣然、震惊、幸灾乐祸、崇拜—
种种复杂的目光,如同聚光灯般,齐刷刷地汇集在了唐宋的身上。
”You...
For the first time, the cold anger after being truly offended appeared in Conrad Mellon’s blue eyes, which were always alienated.
He is used to being admired and awed by everyone on any occasion.
As a "blue blood", he represents the purest WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) elite.
When I came to this ordinary birthday party, I subconsciously felt a sense of contempt and arrogance from the top of the class.
This sudden "confrontation" that was not in his script, and this "unruly" oriental man.
It made him feel a rare sense of offended absurdity.
Looking at this scene, Xiao Jingxin also raised his voice, feeling a little nervous and ambitious.
The development of this plot has exceeded her script.
Brother Tang and Song’s aura is enough, but his family background is too terrifying.
But soon, her eyes lit up!
I saw the figure walking through the crowd.
My strongest “trump card” is finally on the stage! It's time to uncover it!
At this time, only Director Jin’s name can calm the situation!
"Sister Shangguan!"
Xiaojing's sweet shout was like a crisp ringtone, breaking the solid atmosphere of the scene.
"Shuish, brush, brush—"
All eyes fell on the woman wearing a silver butterfly mask who was walking into the crowd.
They all knew that the woman with the compound surname "Shangguan" came with Xiaojing's boyfriend.
But after I came here, I never communicated much with others, I just sat quietly in the corner.
No one knows her.
I don’t understand why she stepped forward at this tense moment.
Do you want to be a "peacemaker"?
Shangguan Qiuya smiled and nodded at Xiaojing, stood beside Tang Song gracefully and naturally, leaned slightly and said, "Mr. Tang, Lawyer Luo is here."
After saying that, she looked in a certain direction outside the crowd.
Following her movements, everyone subconsciously followed her and looked over.
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue customized suit came into view.
He looks to be in his early forties, with a handsome face and clear lines.
The simple three-quarter hairstyle is combed back and looks meticulous.
His steps were steady and confident, his bright and calm eyes scanned the audience, with a subtle smile on his face.
Soon, Luo Bin’s footsteps stopped in front of everyone.
"Mr. Tang, good evening." He said hello to Tang Song first, and then to Shangguan Qiuya, "Assistant Shangguan, long time no see."
"Good evening."
Tang Song nodded gently, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Long time no see, Lawyer Luo." Shangguan Qiuya responded with a smile, took off the mask on her face, and introduced: "Xiaojing, this is Lawyer Luo Bin from Quanjing Law Firm."
"Ms. Tian, happy birthday." A gentle smile appeared on Luo Bin's face. Among the crowd, several people who knew something about the domestic legal profession suddenly looked at Luo Bin with stunned expressions.
Tian Chengye’s heart beat violently.
Quanjing Law Firm is recognized as one of the "Eight Red Circle Firms" in China and the top legal giant.
The Zhongcheng Group under his name has in-depth cooperation with Quan Jing’s Yancheng branch in many businesses.
Even Huineng Electronics’ several current contract disputes are entrusted to Quan Jing.
As the head of such a top global law firm, Chief Partner Luo Bin has great prestige and fame.
It’s just that he was completely unable to match the person in front of him with the number in the news photo.
Why did Ke Luobin appear at his daughter’s birthday party?
And it seems that the relationship with the Tang and Song Dynasties seems to be very good.
Xiaojing took a deep breath and smiled: "Hello, Lawyer Luo, thank you very much for coming to my birthday party."
She was also a little confused, why was it that a barrister came here instead of the virtuous and benevolent old Mr. Zheng?
Luo Bin smiled and said: "I came here today on the entrustment of Ms. Ouyang from Tang Yi Precision to bring you a birthday gift. She appreciates your performance during your time at Tang Yi and looks forward to you joining the headquarters in the future."
"Ms. Ouyang?!" Xiaojing's eyes widened and she said in disbelief: ". A gift for me?"
She only met Ouyang Xianyue once in Imperial Capital, and she had the courage to ask for a photo together.
Even though I landed at Tang Yi Precision later, I never thought that I would be remembered by the other party, let alone give me any birthday gifts.
“There were several irrepressible exclamations in the crowd, which quickly turned into a metaphorical discussion.
Most of them don’t know about Luo Bin and have no feelings about him.
But the name "Ouyang Xianyue" is absolutely thunderous.
The expression on Meng Chuan's face paused slightly, then quickly calmed down, and looked at Tian Jing from another place.
Although he heard from You Chengye that You Jing worked at Tang Yi Precision.
But she never thought that she could interact with Ouyang Xianyue himself, and even get such attention from him.
He took a deep breath and his expression became serious for the first time,
If Xinghan Investment wants to develop in China's new energy field, Tang Yi Precision will always be an unavoidable hurdle.
He would come to Yancheng specifically to inspect the project because of the huge new energy industry chain brought by Tang Yi Precision’s branch in Yancheng.
If Tian Jing can get involved with Ouyang Xianyue, then he really has to seriously consider the so-called "blind date."
Luo Bin’s face remained calm, and he was not disturbed by the surrounding atmosphere.
He opened his briefcase, took out a velvet gift box with excellent texture, and handed it to Xiaojing.
"Because it was specially requested by Ms. Ouyang, I did not leave the gift at the signing place. Please forgive me."
Because there were so many people attending this birthday party, it was impossible for Xiaojing to collect the gifts one by one, so she put them all away when signing in.
In the next game session, there will be small activities that will be randomly selected and then opened on the spot.
"Thank you, thank you, Director Luo! Thank you Ms. Ouyang for me too!" Xiaojing took the heavy gift with trembling hands.
My heart is racing.
Immediately, her eyes rolled around.
Look at Shangguan Qiuya, who has an outstanding temperament, and the shocked expressions of the people around her.
An idea suddenly came to mind,
She originally planned to thank Shangguan Qiuya and "expose" the other party's identity when she took the stage to speak.
But now, isn’t it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
She turned sideways and tugged at her father who was still a bit disgusted. Her voice was deliberately raised a bit: "Dad, I haven't introduced you properly yet. This is Shangguan Qiuya, my good friend of Tang and Song Dynasties."
She paused, looked around, and said playfully: "Oh, by the way, she is also working at Smile Holdings and is Director Jin's personal assistant."
Yu—
The scene fell into a brief silence.
Are you kidding me? ! She is Jin Meixiao's personal assistant?
Everyone feels a little confused and hates how so many "big names" pop up one after another at an ordinary birthday party for friends.
First, there is the upstart technology player Lin Jingming, then the mysterious hotel owner Tang Song, Meng Chuan from Xinghan Investment, Conrad from the Mellon family...
Now, even the legendary richest woman, Jin Meixiao’s personal assistant, has jumped out!
Why the hell does it feel so unreal?
