Tang Song, President Tang

During his university years, Du Shaokai was quite well-known among the students of the Class of 2016 in the School of Computer Science and Technology.

He is handsome, drives a car, is cheerful and outgoing, and spends money lavishly.

I know Qiu Yu and Wang Ning, who are also in the student union of the college, and we have a fairly good relationship.

However, we've almost lost touch since graduation, at most exchanging likes on Moments posts occasionally.

But for Du Shaokai, who is currently in dire straits, it is a lifeline.

Those stupid Second-Generation Rich didn't care about him at all. A few alumni who could talk to him showed up, which helped him break free.

Du Shaokai slammed down his wine glass, quickly stood up, and walked over with a big smile on his face.

He patted Wang Ning on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Not bad, Wang Ning. You're doing pretty well these days. With that polo shirt and watch, you really look like a successful person."

Wang Ning raised his eyebrows smugly. "Not bad, I guess."

Then, Du Shaokai grinned and opened his arms to Qiu Yu, "Little Rain Yu, it's been almost three years since we last met, a hug isn't too much to ask, is it?"

Qiu Yu smiled and patted his arm. "You're three years older now, and you're still so mischievous."

"I call this staying true to myself! A man is a boy until he dies!"

The two exchanged a few jokes with each other.

Although Qiu Yu smiled on the surface, there was always a lingering sense of emotion in her gaze as she looked at Du Shaokai.

During her university years, she actually developed Good impression for Du Shaokai.

After all, the other person is good-looking and has good qualities. He is romantic, knows how to say sweet words, and can play the guitar. He is very popular with the girls in the student council.

However, it was later discovered that he was quite promiscuous, having had several girlfriends both on and off campus.

Later, those little thoughts faded away, and this time when I came to Yancheng, I didn't intend to meet him.

However, fate is so magical. As soon as she stepped into the second floor of the bar, she saw that somewhat familiar figure.

She pretended to be calm as she approached him and then called out his name.

Three years have passed, and he seems to have matured a bit.

He wore a side-parted hairstyle, a black embroidered shirt, and brown trousers, looking handsome with a touch of refinement, yet also a bit roguish when he smiled.

It was as if it had taken her back to that sunny university campus.

Du Shaokai glanced to the side, pointed to several alumni beside them, and said thoughtfully, "These all seem to be your Software Engineering Major classmates, right? You are... Lu... Lu Ziming?"

He wasn't familiar with the other people because they weren't in the student council; they were just casual acquaintances at school.

However, he still had some impression of Lu Ziming, the Second-Generation Rich, who was considered a prominent figure in the school.

"Hello." Lu Ziming nodded, but didn't say much since they weren't familiar with each other.

He is about 178 cm tall, with strong facial features and a steady and rugged appearance. He is not handsome, but he has a very appealing look.

"They are indeed all my college classmates." Qiu Yu pulled herself out of her reverie, pointed to the booth behind him, and asked curiously, "Are these your friends?"

In the few years since she entered the workforce, working in pre-sales technical support, she has come into contact with many people and developed a keen eye for talent.

You can learn a lot from the clothes and demeanor of these men and women.

Du Shaokai's expression stiffened for a moment, then he casually said, "They're all colleagues from the company, just out for team building."

Just then, a girl next to Qi Wen stood up and waved to them.

He said frankly, "Lu Ziming, it's been a long time."

Lu Ziming was stunned for a moment, then looked her over carefully for a few moments before exclaiming in surprise, "Pei Xinxin?"

"Haha, don't you recognize me a little? You haven't changed much." Pei Xinxin covered her mouth and chuckled.

Lu Ziming nodded and praised, "You're even more beautiful than before."

Pei Xinxin was a blind date that his father had introduced him to. At the time, he was a third-year graduate student.

The two dated for a while, but eventually broke up because they just didn't click.

After not seeing her for more than half a year, Pei Xinxin had changed her hairstyle, put on heavy makeup, and dressed very sexily, which was quite different from the image of her in my memory.

With the dim lighting in the bar, Lu Ziming wouldn't have recognized her at all if she hadn't spoken up.

Qi Wen, with her legs crossed, asked, "Xin Xin, is this your friend?"

Pei Xinxin turned her head and said with a smile, "Yes, Ziming's older sister is the Sales Department manager of Zhongcheng Group, and she's my uncle's colleague."

She was being polite; in reality, Lu Ziming's sister was just a supervisor of a sales team, while her uncle was the Sales Department manager.

"Oh?" Li Junyi raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Yu Fan, I remember your family owns shares in Zhongcheng Group, right?"

Liang Yufan took a sip of the orange-red liquid and casually said, "Just a little bit, about 2%."

Qi Wen blinked and said, "That has to be our Supervisor Tian. Her father is a major shareholder and Executive Director of Zhongcheng Group."

"Oh, I almost forgot about Xiao Jing. It's mainly because she doesn't usually play with us; she's too low-key."

Listening to the conversation of the people in the booth, Lu Ziming, Qiu Yu, and the others felt their hearts pounding.

Who are these people? They seem really impressive.

Lu Ziming knew quite a bit about the company his sister worked for.

A well-known industrial company in Yancheng, it has been deeply involved in industries such as textiles and standard parts for many years, with net assets exceeding 1.2 billion yuan and nearly 3,500 employees.

You can imagine how powerful the shareholders and directors of such an industrial group must be.

Especially now that he has joined Tiancheng Capital, his understanding has become even clearer.

Even the Second-Generation Rich have their own social circles, such as the circle he belongs to and the circles he belongs to.

Lu Ziming licked his lips, a warm smile spreading across his face. "Looks like we're quite destined to meet. How about we have a few drinks together later? Our booth is in T23."

Liang Yufan and the others exchanged a few polite words, but did not actually invite him to sit down.

Today was, after all, a small team-building activity within Brocade Business, and they didn't think much of these people, so they weren't particularly interested in making friends with them.

Li Junyi glanced at Pei Xinxin, then at Lu Ziming.

He called out to the bar staff next door, "Put these distinguished guests in the booth next to us. Tonight's bill is on the house. Drink and eat as much as you like, don't hold back."

Qiu Yu, Wang Ning, and the others were momentarily dumbfounded.

What does this mean?

The female marketing woman, dressed in a suit and skirt, quickly bowed and said enthusiastically, "Yes, Young President Li!"

After saying that, she gestured to the group and said, "Please come and sit in booth T10 over here. Just tell me what you'd like to order."

Seeing the group of alumni who were still in a daze, Du Shaokai still couldn't suppress his flamboyant nature.

Raising his eyebrows slightly, he explained, "He is Li Junyi from our company's Strategic Investment Department. This bar is owned by his family."

Qiu Yu was taken aback for a moment, then awkwardly bowed and said, "Thank you for the treat Young President Li!"

She was originally treating her old classmate to drinks today, but now that the classmate is offering to pay for the meal and even upgraded her to a VIP table, she naturally has to express her gratitude.

Looking at the group of Second-Generation Rich sitting on the sofa with nonchalant expressions, I felt a strong urge to befriend them.

These are all top-tier connections!

Unfortunately, she knew her own situation well; she wasn't qualified to be with anyone, not even Lu Ziming.

The others quickly followed suit and thanked them as well.

Li Junyi stood up politely and said with a smile, "You're too kind. Thank you all for coming to reunite with us. Please come again anytime."

As a second-generation entrepreneur who received elite education from a young age, he has outstanding personal qualities and abilities, and is very generous.

It's just a drinking session; it's not worth much money.

It's enough to make Pei Xinxin look good on the outside.

A group of eight people, five men and three women, sat down in the booth next door.

Right across from you is the Livehouse's main stage, where you can feel the vibrant atmosphere of the live show without any obstruction.

After thinking for a moment, Du Shaokai simply sat down at their table.

I leaned back on the spacious, soft sofa and ordered a few bottles of my favorite beer.

While chatting with a few alumni, I checked the time on my Mobile Phone.

I plan to wait for Tian Jing at the entrance when it's time.

Qiu Yu said apologetically, "I'm sorry everyone, something came up at the company unexpectedly, so it's been postponed by a day."

She was supposed to arrive in Yancheng on Friday afternoon, and they had arranged to meet on Friday night.

However, due to a problem with her client, the schedule was changed, and the gathering was moved to Saturday.

"It's okay, you can relax and have more fun on the weekend."

"Yes, yes, yes, let's drink until we drop tonight!"

"Come on, classmates, let's have a toast!" Qiu Yu raised a glass of Wusu. "To celebrate our reunion after three years!"

"Come on! Cheers!"

"Clink-clank-clank—" The sound of glass bottles colliding rang out.

The group reminisced about each other's changes and recalled their university days.

"Little Rain, isn't it much easier for you now that you've switched to pre-sales at a big company?"

"It's also very tiring. I often have to travel for work, all over the country." Qiu Yu shook her head helplessly.

Her programming talent is mediocre, and the logic in her code is often unclear.

After struggling to work for a year, I switched to pre-sales technical support, which is ultimately a sales position and very unstable.

She looked at Lu Ziming across from her and whispered, "I really envy Ziming. He graduated with a master's degree, his family arranged a house and car for him, and he got a job at such a good financial company."

"Yeah, Ziming is probably the most successful one in our class."

"Wang Ning is not bad either. He's the technical director of School Beauty Shen's company now, and he even has shares."

"It's alright, but our company is currently facing some development bottlenecks and is actively seeking financing. I even participated in a roadshow with Yuyan a while ago." Wang Ning is allergic to alcohol, and after drinking some beer, his face immediately turned red, and his speech became somewhat irritated.

Upon hearing the name "Shen Yuyan," all the boys present showed signs of emotion.

Their generation is always associated with this name, which has even become a symbol of youth and White Moonlight for many.

Lu Ziming picked up the bottle and gulped down several mouthfuls of wine.

He pursued Shen Yuyan for four years, from undergraduate to graduate school.

I finally gave up last year and followed my family's advice to start going on blind dates.

As it approached 8 p. m., the number of people in the livehouse increased.

The host took the stage and delivered some passionate opening remarks.

Then, a three-person band took to the stage.

Accompanied by the rhythm of guitars and drums, energetic rock music filled the entire bar.

"Time in Name Only, which is practically meaningless, becomes infinite in your eyes; youth is filled with sleepless nights..."

The strong rhythm and melody made people sway along, and the dance floor of the bar instantly became a scene of wild dancing, with lights sweeping across the entire area.

Li Junyi beckoned his colleagues to leave the booths and gather in front of the glass railing on the second floor, cheering and clinking glasses to the music.

Several sexy and beautiful female colleagues were waving around with prepared fans and sunglasses, a pleasing sight to behold.

Background music: If you're still awake, if I keep chasing you...

Qiu Yu looked at the handsome Du Shaokai beside her, smiled, grabbed his arm, and shouted, "Classmates, let's get hyped!"

Du Shaokai looked at Qiu Yu, who was dressed exquisitely and swaying her body beside him, and felt a little itchy.

Although Qiu Yu wasn't exactly a beauty, she had a good figure and a good temperament, and was quite popular in the computer science department where girls were scarce back then.

If it weren't for Xiao Jing tonight, I could have flirted with her and caused some interesting little incidents.

The song "Take Me To The Nightlife" ended.

Du Shaokai checked his Mobile Phone; it was almost time. He was about to speak.

Qiu Yu suddenly asked, "Shao Kai, which company do you work for now? Is it programming?"

Hearing this, the others also looked over curiously.

Du Shaokai put away his Mobile Phone and casually replied, "Brocade Business, I'm quitting being a programmer. Um, a friend of mine has arrived, I'll go down and pick him up, see you later."

After saying that, Du Shaokai strode towards the stairs.

"Brocade Business?" Lu Ziming raised his eyebrows.

Qiu Yu asked curiously, "What's wrong, Ziming? Do you know this company?"

Lu Ziming nodded slightly. "It was very popular in the Investment Community recently because it received investment from Smiling Holdings. The company is considered a leader in the garment trade industry in Yan Province. Relying on the ecosystem of Smiling Holdings, it has already started to do cross-border business."

"Wow, that's amazing!" Qiu Yu's eyes lit up.

The others echoed this sentiment.

Lu Ziming smiled and said, "There's one more thing. Tang Song is also involved with Brocade Business."

"Tang Song?"

"Oh, it's that Tang Song!"

"Tang Song is the most hardworking student I've ever seen in university; he's truly dedicated!"

Qiu Yu thought about it carefully, and a roughly complete image gradually emerged in her mind.

When I first entered university, I looked quite pretty, but later I became more and more unrestrained.

He is not particular about his appearance, is quiet and reserved, loves learning, has excellent grades, often appears in the library and study room, and frequently takes leave to work.

Overall, he was a student who didn't have much of a presence. If Lu Ziming hadn't mentioned him, they probably wouldn't have talked about him at all tonight.

Thinking of the Tang Song, Wang Ning grinned, feeling quite displeased.

Not only did he steal the show at the Investment Negotiation Conference last time, but he also gave his old squad leader a hard time at the banquet.

Damn it! Does he think he's so great? I'm going to give him a piece of my mind next time we meet!

"Lu Ziming!" Pei Xinxin waved a Glow Stick in front of him and pointed to the entrance on the first floor, saying, "A female colleague is coming over later, you can come over and offer her a drink!"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Lu Ziming was completely confused.

Pei Xinxin smiled and said, "That's the colleague Du Shaokai went down to pick up. Tian Jing's Dad is a major shareholder of Zhongcheng Group. Getting to know her should be beneficial to your sister's career development in the group."

Lu Ziming's eyes lit up. "I understand. Thank you, Xin Xin."

You're welcome.

Qiu Yu, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but ask, "Beautiful ladies, are you all employees of Brocade Business?"

"Yeah, but we're not from the same department, so it's more like a cross-departmental team building activity, haha." Pei Xinxin nodded gently, waving her Glow Stick to the music.

"And what about Du Shaokai? Which department is he in?"

He is currently in the Channels Department.

Looking at the group of well-dressed Second-Generation Rich next to her, Qiu Yu's heart skipped a beat.

The Channels Department of a trading company is absolutely a core department!

The fact that Du Shaokai can appear among them as a colleague and befriend them as equals suggests that he is highly regarded in the company and may even have connections.

Judging from this, he is really doing very well now and has a bright future.

A female student leaned forward and asked curiously, "What about Tang Song? Shouldn't he be in the technical department?"

It is generally acknowledged that Tang Song excelled in his studies and possessed a high level of technical skill during his university years.

Drink Old Outside the Door.

The air was very fresh and invigorating after the rain.

Du Shaokai stood at the door, straightened his hair and clothes in front of the Mobile Phone camera, and stood up straight, feeling a little uneasy.

I waited for a short while.

Bright lights illuminated the entrance.

"Vroom vroom vroom—" The engine sounded, and a black Maybach slowly drove up and stopped at the main entrance.

After a moment, the rear doors were slowly pushed open.

Tian Jing, dressed in a black evening gown, looking both sexy and sweet, walked down the street.

Du Shaokai took a deep breath, a bright smile spreading across his face, and was about to step forward.

Immediately afterwards, a tall figure emerged.

Tian Jing naturally wrapped her arm around his and said Tian Tian, "Song, we're here! Now's the most exciting time, let's go dance on the dance floor together!"

Du Shaokai stopped halfway through his step, his face turning a greenish hue in the neon light at the entrance.

The two stepped onto the stairs.

Tang Song raised his eyebrows when he saw Xiao Du standing blankly at the door, but said nothing.

Tian Jing seemed completely oblivious to Du Shaokai.

Holding Tang Song's arm, she talked to herself about the dances she had learned, her eyes only for him.

As they brushed past each other, Du Shaokai clenched his fist tightly, his anger trembling.

Walking through the gate and along the corridor, Tang Song looked around curiously.

Drink Old is a purely American retro industrial style bar, with old-fashioned furniture, retro lamps, and leather sofas that look very stylish.

Exposed brick walls, concrete ceilings, and steel structures are used extensively.

"Um... Tang Song..." Pei Xinxin opened her mouth, unsure how to answer.

"What's wrong, Xin Xin?" Lu Ziming asked curiously. "Tang Song works at your company, right? I even saw his offer letter."

On stage, the band changed to another song, "Summer Natsume Soseki" by Orange Ocean.

A rhythmic bass line begins.

Holding the wine, Li Junyi turned his head and smiled, "Of course, who doesn't know our Mr. Tang?"

Mr. Tang?

Because the music was quite loud, they weren't sure if they were hearing Tang Song or Mr. Tang.

Qiu Yu was about to ask something.

Qi Wen leaned on the second-floor railing, elbows resting on the glass handrail, and exclaimed, "Wow, Xiao Jing's here! You look so beautiful today!"

Immediately, the group of colleagues all looked towards the entrance on the first floor.

In the dimly lit bar.

Her exposed, pale skin was like bright moonlight, pure and beautiful.

Her black dress was adorned with sparkling diamonds, making it exceptionally dazzling.

Immediately, everyone's attention turned to the boy next to him.

Tian Jing linked arms with him, and the two were very close.

He was wearing a slightly casual dark suit, which was crisp and well-proportioned, with the jacket slightly open to reveal a clean white shirt underneath.

With handsome features, a tall and upright figure, and a unique charisma, he walked with a confident and composed gait, as if each step was perfectly in sync with the music. In the retro, dimly lit environment of the bar, he stood out even more.

"Clang!" The wine bottle in Li Junyi's hand fell to the ground, and he blurted out, "Holy crap! How did Mr. Tang Tian Jing get together?"
