At the cocktail party, Matsumoto Koji received more respect than he ever did back home. This made him feel ecstatic. If he had known earlier, he would've left Japan sooner and come to China. The sense of accomplishment he experienced here was unmatched by anything at Lingtian Group.
He could sense the eagerness of these people to collaborate with him. When he feigned interest in them, their faces lit up with joy. Conversely, whenever he expressed indifference, their disappointment was palpable, coupled with a hint of reluctance.
This inflated Matsumoto Koji's self-confidence immensely. He believed he was the decisive factor in determining the fates of these people.
When self-confidence swells beyond control, it leads to increasingly ostentatious behavior, and Koji was evidently that type of person.
After the cocktail party ended, Matsumoto Koji returned directly to his presidential suite and contacted Miao Qingqing using the details provided by her.
