Mo Du Film Festival

Tang Song slowly picked up Su Yu's Glasses and carefully examined them.

It looks very similar to the glasses I wear; it's light, delicate, and has a great texture.

However, the design is softer, like standard women's black-rimmed glasses.

I wonder what Su Yu would look like wearing it.

Looking at the stacks of invitations in front of him, Tang Song, who was squatting on the ground, sighed.

Even as a stranger, one can feel her sincere emotions between the lines.

Anticipation, shyness, struggle, timidity, pain...

Moreover, he is the person directly involved.

In his heart, he treated everything as a game at the time. Although he was fully engaged while playing, he did not treat the characters as real people.

In the game, the Good impression rating of [Female Star - Su Yu] is naturally maxed out.

As a player, after completing this early part of the story, he would naturally continue to advance without hesitation.

In his understanding, when he doesn't summon the character or interact with it, the character will continue its life and work according to the set program.

But if it were a real person...

That's really too cruel; it's a classic case of flirting and then running away.

Tang Song carefully closed the glasses case and put it away, then reached into the safe again.

This time, I took out a 7-inch photo frame to display.

The material is a frosted metal, which feels cool and delicate to the touch. The black and white color scheme is simple yet elegant.

Flip the frame over and you'll see a photo of a man and a woman together.

He and Su Yu stood in front of a tall floor-to-ceiling window, with the magnificent sunset behind them.

Both of them wore black-rimmed glasses.

Su Yu is still as beautiful as ever, but she looks noticeably younger, around 20 years old.

She wore a white tulle dress, her breasts were high and full, and her features were exquisitely sculpted.

Diamond earrings sparkled beside her slender neck, swaying gracefully.

Her gaze fell on "Tang Song" standing next to her, and Tang Song's expression was slightly dazed.

A sense of disorientation, as if the game and reality were intertwined, washed over me.

A buzzing sound went through his mind, as if he were recalling something, but he couldn't quite make it out.

Judging from his appearance, this is what he looked like when he was a junior in college.

Before graduating from university, Tang Song was unkempt due to his busy schedule, but he was not bad in terms of appearance.

She hasn't gained weight yet, her skin hasn't deteriorated, and most importantly, her hair is much thicker than it is now.

In the photo, he is wearing a simple casual suit, standing with a relaxed yet upright posture, exuding a powerful aura.

What's most captivating are his eyes, with slightly upturned corners and a deep, dark gaze, like a dark, icy pool that reflects a complex and elusive light under the glow of the sunset.

Although Su Yu was exceptionally talented at the time, he seemed more like a supporting character when standing next to "Tang Song".

From this photo, Tang Song realized for the first time just how much influence temperament and aura can have on a person.

After putting away the photo frame, Tang Song rummaged through the safe again.

Besides some packaging bags, $100,000 in cash and an unremarkable key were found on the bottom layer.

Holding a neatly stacked pile of brand-new banknotes in your hand is very visually striking.

Tang Song played with it for a while before putting it back.

After taking a shower in the bathroom, Tang Song lay on the sofa bed in a bathrobe, looking at the dazzling night view outside the window while occasionally glancing at the photo of the two of them together.

He pondered how to hand over [Su Yu's Glasses] to Su Yu.

The simplest way would naturally be to go directly to Tang Zong Entertainment's headquarters, but this idea had barely formed when the system's notification interrupted his fantasy.

Given his current charm rating, personal qualities, and abilities, he is indeed not yet able to directly interact with high-level figures like Mo Xiangwan and Su Yu.

As for mailing, he was a little unsure whether it would work.

Last time, I exploited a system bug and directly entered Secretary Jin's address through the game interface.

Ideally, we should find a middleman who can contact Mo Xiangwan or Su Yu.

Unfortunately, I currently Magic City and have not inherited any assets here, so I cannot contact the management of Tang Zong Entertainment for the time being.

If all else fails, you can try contacting Juqing Huijin or Bocai Yingrui.

These are his two main businesses, both of which are intricately connected to characters in games.

I kept thinking about these random thoughts for a while, and before I knew it, I was getting sleepy.

DX District Hilton Hotel, Imperial Capital.

This five-star hotel, located outside the South Fifth Ring Road, was built only three years ago and is very well-equipped.

In a double suite.

"Yuyan, what are your plans next?" Li Meixia looked at Shen Yuyan beside her and said softly, "President Hou seems to have a lot of opinions."

Shen Yuyan took a sip of the slightly sweet sparkling wine and said resolutely, "No matter what his opinions are, I will push forward with this financing."

According to the Company Articles Youjie Home Services, the process can proceed as long as it is approved by shareholders holding more than two-thirds of the voting rights.

The company's current shareholding structure is as follows: Zhang Tianqi (42%), Shen Yuyan (40%), Hou Shaoyuan (14%), Li Meixia (2%), Wang Ning (2%).

Zhang Tianqi and Shen Yuyan, the founders, together hold 82% of the shares.

As long as Zhang Tianqi doesn't raise any objections, the financing will definitely proceed smoothly.

After thinking for a moment, Li Meixia advised, "I think you should have a good talk with President Hou. Some misunderstandings can be completely resolved, which will be more beneficial to the company's development."

"Clatter—" Shen Yuyan put down her wine glass. "There's no misunderstanding. When I brought up the matter of Tang Song wanting to invest in the company during the previous meeting, he objected. Now that Gongying Technology has expressed its intention to invest, he is also against it."

Li Meixia pursed her lips and patted her back. "It's because he has feelings for you. It's understandable, after all, two such outstanding men are going to become shareholders of the company, and he's afraid you'll be snatched away."

Shen Yuyan sighed, "The seed round of Youjie Home Services has already made his investment a lot of money, but his mind is not on the company at all."

At the beginning of his business, Zhang Tianqi used his family connections to provide the main profitable business.

She was in charge of the company's operations, and in addition to emptying her savings, she also used her Bilibili and Douyin accounts, which she had carefully maintained during her university years and had hundreds of thousands of followers.

They started by making a series of videos about starting a business, and later gradually shifted to promoting "Youjie Home Services".

A large portion of the company's intermediary business comes from here, making it an important customer acquisition channel.

It can be said that she has contributed the most to the company and is the one who most hopes that Youjie Home Services will take off.

"Speaking of which, is Tang Song really as amazing as you say? Driving Mercedes-Benz S-Class and having spare money to invest in our company? Just because of a single sentence from Qing Qing?"

She and Shen Yuyan were college classmates, and she also had a good relationship with Xu Qing.

In fact, Shen Yuyan is not only popular among boys, but also has many good female friends, and they are all very outstanding.

These connections also provided her with tremendous help after she graduated.

Shen Yuyan gently and said affirmatively, "I know Qing Qing, she wouldn't lie to me about something like this. Actually, I wanted to meet with Tang Song a few days ago, but as you saw, things fell apart because of Hou Shaoyuan and Wang Ning's opposition."

"So that's why you came to the Imperial Capital?"

"Yes!" Shen Yuyan's eyes flashed with rationality and sharpness. "Didn't they say that individual investors like Tang Song are not good for the company's development? Then I'll let Gongying Technology join in as well, and participate in this capital increase and share expansion together with Tang Song. In fact, that was my original plan."

In normal corporate financing, when the amount of funds needed is large, one company usually leads the investment while others follow suit, thereby diversifying investment risks.

They would all be willing to refuse.

Gongying Technology is a technology company valued at over 100 million RMB, and it has broad development prospects.

Establishing business ties with such a company would be very helpful for her future plans.

As for Tang Song, she would absolutely not let him go!

The Sugar Daddy is not only able to provide funding, but also so young and promising.

Compared to Hou Shaoyuan and the others, they were even more in line with her requirements for a partner.

Thinking of Tang Song's dazzling presence on stage at the roadshow that day, her eyes sparkled.

With alumni connections, Qing Qing's friends, and Lu Ziming's roommates, Tang Song would definitely be a supporter of her once he became a shareholder.

In addition, there was the promise from Ren Mingyuan, the vice president of Gongying Technology.

In this way, after this round of capital increase and share expansion, she can dilute the equity of Zhang Tianqi and Hou Shaoyuan.

Become the true controller of the company and develop it with confidence and boldness.

Thinking of this, an excited blush rose on her face, and she crossed her fair and shapely legs, picked up her wine glass and took a big gulp.

Looking at this campus belle, Li Meixia couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "So beautiful!"

With her large breasts, slim waist, and perky buttocks, plus a classic school beauty face, it's no wonder so many men are infatuated with her.

"Tap tap tap—" Shen Yuyan stood in front of the French windows wearing slippers.

"Whoosh—" She ripped open the gray blackout curtain, pointed to the distant horizon, and said with longing and determination, "Smiling Holdings is right there, in the best location in Wangjing, with the most luxurious office building, and the perfect Jin Meixiao. We won't stay in Yancheng forever; one day we'll stand on a bigger stage, attend the most prestigious banquets, and chat confidently with executives from Fortune 500 companies..."

Li Meixia was also moved by her words, and stood up to stand next to her, looking at this radiant "school beauty".

For a company to grow, it needs someone to lead the way and provide encouragement and motivation, and Shen Yuyan is undoubtedly that person.

Starting a business with her always brings me a wealth of inspirational stories, which in turn fuels my enthusiasm.

Shen Yuyan gazed at the northeastern horizon and seemed to see it.

In the star-studded night sky, a group of people stood high above.

The train of the times is speeding Mercedes-Benz.

This is the Imperial Capital, the political, cultural, international exchange, and technological innovation center of Huaxia, a modern international metropolis.

At this very moment, I am in the midst of it all, facing the imminent completion of the financing deal.

She was overwhelmed with emotion, and all her previous despondency and depression vanished.

My heart is filled with longing for the future.

Only those with clear ambitions can meet at the top.

She was unwilling to be ordinary and only wanted to seize the opportunity to fight for it.

June 10, 2023, Saturday, Magic City, Little Rain turning cloudy, 23~34℃.

The raindrops, carried by the wind, pattered against the windowpane.

The room was dimly lit.

"Ring ring—" The Mobile Phone phone suddenly rang.

Tang Song quickly opened his eyes, glanced at his Mobile Phone on the bedside table, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

[Inspiration Design - Cheng Qiuqiu?]

We had exchanged Mobile Phone numbers before because of work, but this was the first time she had called me directly.

The call connected. "Hello, Designer Cheng, good morning."

"Good morning, Tang Song." Cheng Qiuqiu paused for a moment and said, "I bought some street food from Magic City. Would you like to try some? I'll give you one."

"Uh... okay, thank you." Tang Song rubbed his temples, wondering if he had misheard.

He was so emotional last night because of Su Yu's invitation and the photo opportunity that he didn't fall asleep until very late.

Despite the blessing of the [Male God Halo) ], I am still a little sleepy.

"I'm in the Rest Area on the 38th floor right now. You can just come over here."

"Um."

Tang Song hung up the phone in a daze, checked his Mobile Phone screen to make sure everything was correct, and then started packing.

Living in the executive suite, he had free access to the executive corridor.

The breakfast buffet there was very generous; he had seen the menu before, and there were many kinds of Chinese and Western breakfast options.

However, since the other party kindly bought it for me, I'll try it first.

Dressed in casual summer clothes, Tang Song quickly washed his face and brushed his teeth before taking the elevator directly to the hotel lobby on the 38th floor.

A quick glance revealed Cheng Qiuqiu, dressed in a shirt and jeans.

He was holding a white hotel towel and drying his slightly damp hair, probably from being rained on.

On the coffee table in front of her, there were also many paper bags and lunch boxes.

"Good morning."

"Good morning, fried dough sticks, pork and bamboo shoot shumai, wontons, savory soy milk, steamed buns..." Cheng Qiuqiu briefly introduced the breakfast, then added, "You can choose whatever you like. I bought these based on a travel guide, so they shouldn't be bad."

I looked at the rain stains on her clothes, the expression on her face, and then at the breakfast on the coffee table.

Tang Song instantly understood.

They are still apologizing for the previous Mercedes-Benz car cover incident.

He really disliked Liu Wenning and the other person.

However, after the detention, compensation, and apology, the matter was considered closed.

I never expected Cheng Qiuqiu to be so persistent and serious.

That's exactly the same as her attitude at work.

Tang Song didn't have any dietary restrictions, so they just randomly chose a few things.

Cheng Qiuqiu smiled Qian Qian. "You just woke up, right? Sorry to disturb your rest. But I have to get up early today to attend the film festival screenings. There are 41 cinemas in Magic City showing the festival films right now. I plan to take advantage of the atmosphere and watch all of Su Yu's films with my fan club friends. I heard that some cinemas support VR Movie Viewing, which is a really cool experience."

"Su Yu's movies," Tang Song murmured, as scenes from last night resurfaced in his mind.

She had sent him invitations to so many premieres and film festivals before, but he had never attended any of them.

I have never seen one of her movies in a theater.

She happened to be attending this international film festival, so I might as well go and check it out.

Just then, a System Prompt Sound.

"Ding! You have triggered the challenge mission [Magic City Film Festival]. Please go to the Task Center to check it out."

[Task Content: The challenge is today: become a Su Yu fan, fully immerse yourself in this film festival, and watch all the competition films starring Su Yu.]

[Mission Reward: Random Gift Pack *1]

[Note: The more involved you are in the film festival, the richer the gift package will be.]

After closing the System Interface, Tang Song looked up and asked, "Designer Cheng, how many competition films has Su Yu acted in?"

"Three!" Cheng Qiuqiu said seriously, "Only one of them features me as the lead, which is the award-winning patriotic film. The others are just cameos, supporting the artists under Tang Zong Entertainment."

Tang Song hummed in agreement and smiled, "As a die-hard fan of Su Yu, may I attend the film festival with you?"

My beautician friend is going to Hermès event today. He can finish his task during the day so it won't interfere with his business in the evening.

Cheng Qiuqiu was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Tickets are very hard to get. Most of us bought them from scalpers for 350 yuan each. You..."

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered the Mercedes-Benz S-Class of the Tang Song, and the scene that day.

He said somewhat awkwardly, "However, it shouldn't be expensive for you. I can buy it for you."

"Thank you for your hard work, I'll transfer the money to you." Tang Song opened his Mobile Phone, just about to search for her WeChat.

Cheng Qiuqiu bit her lip and said softly, "That's my work WeChat. Let's add each other as friends again."

"OK!"

After scanning the QR code and adding the account, Tang Song transferred the money.

The two didn't go back to their room. Instead, they chatted about the film festival while enjoying a typical Magic City breakfast in the Rest Area.

Although the support group that Cheng Qiuqiu belongs to is small, it is officially organized and operated.

The photos from the entire process will also be posted in Su Yu's community, and there's a slight chance she'll notice them.

After breakfast, I packed my things.

Waiting for Cheng Qiuqiu's turn.

"Ding-dong—" WeChat notification sound rang out.

Qiu Yu: "Good morning, Tang Song. Because you spoke to me at Huashang Apparel before, our collaboration went very smoothly! Today is Saturday, are you free at noon or in the evening? I'd like to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude."

Tang Song replied truthfully, "I'm sorry, I was in Magic City on a business trip yesterday, I wasn't in Yancheng."

Qiu Yu: "Oh, you're in Magic City? Then let's meet up again sometime."

Not long after.

The Mobile Phone rang again.

It was my college classmate, Li Zhixi.

Tang Song raised his eyebrows and answered the phone, "Hello, Zhixi."

Immediately afterward, a familiar and excited voice came through the receiver. "Hey, Brother Song! You're in Magic City?"

"You just arrived in Magic City last night. Did Qiu Yu tell you this?"

"Yeah, I heard from her that our company has reached Cooperation Intention with Yancheng Huashang Apparel. You put a lot of effort into it. Hehe, after the project is completed, I'll apply to go to Yancheng for on-site implementation and training. I can stay there for more than half a month. Then we can have a good get-together and visit the campus of Yan University of Science and Technology of Science and Technology."

The two chatted for a while about school.

Li Zhixi said enthusiastically, "Are you busy today? If not, let's get together. I'll treat you to dinner! It'll be really fun to video chat with Kai Ge and the others."

Three years after graduation, this was the closest he had ever been to Tang Song, and he missed his old classmate and roommate very much.

His tone of voice was also warm and sincere.

Tang Song thought for a moment and said, "I'm probably not free during the day, but I can do it in the evening. Send me your location and time, and we can meet at the restaurant."

"That works too. Magic City's nightlife is even more exciting. I'll take you to the night market after dinner or something."

Just after hanging up the phone, I received a message that Cheng Qiuqiu had set off.

Tang Song slung his backpack over his shoulder, put on his glasses, and went out to begin his movie-watching journey.

Along with Cheng Qiuqiu were six other girls, all of whom were college students from Yancheng who had come to support her.

Today, Tang Song's attire is very low-key, consisting of a simple white T-shirt, jeans, and black-rimmed glasses, without any added embellishment.

He looked like a clean-cut, refreshing, gentle, and handsome guy, and was warmly welcomed by several innocent female college students.

Sharing snacks, helping to buy drinks, proactively taking photos and adding WeChat...

Tang Song, this "fake fan," blended in perfectly, looking at the energetic young girls around him, feeling as if he had returned to the university campus, which was particularly interesting.

They chattered excitedly about Su Yu's latest works, her upbringing, her personality, her fashion sense...

As everyone knows, being a fan of Su Yu is a blessing. This superstar has had almost no scandals, stains, or black marks since her debut.

She maintains a clean reputation, never engages in self-promotion, has a serious work attitude, and enjoys an excellent reputation both inside and outside the industry.

Her fan base is roughly equal in terms of gender; she started as an idol, has dozens of hit songs, and has personally created three nationally popular variety shows...

She never films any intimate scenes and basically only accepts roles in dramas with strong female leads or those with a patriotic theme. There are even rumors that she is Lesbian.

The girls became even more excited when the topic came up.

If Su Yu is truly a lesbian, then they wouldn't mind something happening between them.

Even Cheng Qiuqiu, who has a somewhat cold personality, blushed, as if she was daydreaming about something.

Tang Song, sitting to the side, looked somewhat embarrassed as they talked about their "female celebrity," unsure of what to say.

10 a. m.

In a luxury suite at the Bvlgari Hotel.

Lin Mu Xue uploaded the edited video to various platforms and then enjoyed a delicious and sumptuous breakfast.

I have to say the service at a super five-star hotel is really good; you can order breakfast 24 hours a day.

Then she took a proper shower, and started skincare, makeup, and hairstyling before changing into her carefully prepared outfit.

Today is a big day.

This afternoon I'm going to a Hermès private event with Qianqian, and tonight I'm having a get-together with some of my university classmates in Magic City.

Moreover, most of them were flight attendants.

She once longed for this glamorous and elegant profession; otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen "flight attendant" as her major after graduating from high school.

However, I only realized how difficult it was when I faced the challenge of finding a job later.

The teacher in charge of interviewing her openly stated that it would take 1-2 years and cost 400,000-500,000 RMB to obtain a flight attendant contract, while even ground staff would cost around 100,000 RMB.

Those classmates with good family backgrounds and connections naturally had no problem, but for her, it was simply like harvesting leeks.

Besides, her family really can't afford that much money!

So she simply gave it up and started working as a print model while also running her own social media account.

Thinking of all the unbearable things that had happened in the past, Lin Mu Xue took a deep breath and looked at herself in the full-length mirror.

His eyes were full of fighting spirit and confidence.
