The Imperial Capital's Night, Her Heart
Yuhua Business Building.
Ordinary People Culture Media Co., Ltd..
"Okay, Yun Yun. I'll head back to my workstation now. Bye~"
"Bye-Bye."
Stepping out of the Human Resources Department office, Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and cheerfully turned a corner down the corridor to the Legal Department.
Except for a few departments and leaders, the company has an open-plan office area.
All employees were together, simply divided into areas according to departments.
Xu Qing smiled at the few colleagues whose names she didn't yet remember, and then sat down in her seat.
The office's decor is so-so, but at least the desks and chairs are quite comfortable to use.
"Hello, I'm Li Shubin, a legal specialist." The male colleague sitting next to her gave her a bright smile.
Xu Qing quickly and politely said, "Hello, I'm Xu Qing, a newly hired legal specialist. Nice to meet you!"
"No problem, no problem. President Guo told me that you can come to me anytime if you have any questions." Li Shubin was very enthusiastic towards this lovely and beautiful female colleague.
"Bin!"
Then, Xu Qing took the initiative to greet the female colleague behind her.
The female colleague smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Guo Li from the New Media Operations Department."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xu Qing wiggled her bottom, sat up straight, and opened the laptop in front of her.
Today is her first day working as Ordinary People.
She originally wanted to come early to report, but the gossip in the early morning was so explosive that she stayed up until 3 a. m. and couldn't get up in the morning.
Fortunately, the General Manager is my alumnus and Yan Yan's classmate.
She, Qing Qing, still had some face.
After making one phone call, he continued to sleep soundly until noon.
After taking a shower and having a meal, I happily reported to the new company!
Most importantly, tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, which means I can stay home and relax for three more days!
Xu Qing's big, dark eyes darted around as she glanced at her colleagues who were all working diligently.
I carefully opened the file bag I had just received and took out the Labor Contract document.
After glancing at the basic salary section, I instantly beamed with joy.
The salary is 7,500 yuan, a 50% increase from before, and the base amount for social Five Insurances and One Fund is also higher.
In addition, there's his steadily increasing royalties.
Before long, my savings will exceed six figures!
Xu Qing's eyes Jing Jing.
You can't spend it all! You simply can't spend it all!
After putting the file into her backpack, Xu Qing opened her computer browser and began to continue following today's biggest juicy gossip.
The Legal Department of this Ordinary People only has 3 people, including her, and there is no director. The department is directly managed by General Manager Guo Liyuan.
Since it was her first day on the job, she had absolutely no work to do.
[Su Yu in Love] [Wang Liyu & Chen Si Announce Relationship] [Zhao Zhenyun & Ma Zizi Announce Divorce]
Starting from midnight, the entire Internet Plus was in an uproar, a veritable Spring Festival Gala for entertainment gossip.
However, perhaps because Su Yu's remarks were rather subtle, and no one knows who she was referring to, the online discussion is currently focused more on the other two celebrity couples.
After all, there were conflicts, suspicions, and revelations involved, which satisfied everyone's desire for gossip to the greatest extent.
Suddenly, Xu Qing's eyes narrowed, and she felt the office suddenly fall silent.
She quickly used a keyboard shortcut to switch interfaces and opened a Word document introducing the company.
Pretending to look up casually, I saw General Manager Guo Liyuan walking towards me.
"Qing Qing." Their eyes met, and Guo Liyuan smiled and nodded at her. "Come to my office."
"Okay, sure." Xu Qing quickly stood up and followed.
Although the two are good friends in private, this is, after all, a company, and they still need to show respect.
"Bang!" The door to the General Manager's office was gently closed.
Guo Liyuan invited her to sit down on the sofa and even offered her a glass of water.
Xu Qing quickly took the paper cup, a little nervously asking, "Yuan... President Guo, is there something you need?"
"Hehe, no need to be so polite, just call me Yuan Yuan in private."
Guo Liyuan leaned against the desk, looking at Xu Qing, and said excitedly, "Tang Song just called me. He's coming to our company this Sunday to draft and negotiate an Letter of Intent for Investment. We've already reached a general agreement over the phone, which is a huge encouragement for the company. So I wanted to thank you in person for helping the company secure investment."
They have already contacted nearly 10 investment institutions and investors, and have received two term sheets due to the quality of the company's projects.
However, the terms and conditions were unacceptable to them.
Harsh performance-based earn-out clauses, priority liquidation rights, and malicious undervaluation.
These are all common methods used by organizations.
Tang Song, an alumnus, showed a very positive and kind attitude, which moved her and the major shareholder. They no longer wanted to look for a better option while still employed, and decided to finalize the matter.
"Congratulations!" Xu Qing said with a beaming smile, "Tang Song is a really nice guy, and he's also an alumnus of our school. Now that he's a shareholder in the company, he'll definitely support your work, Yuan Yuan."
Shen Yuyan told her to say these words many times, specifically to say them at a time like this.
Guo Liyuan instantly broke into a bright smile, "Tang Song praised you many times on the phone, keep it up, Qing Qing!"
I will allocate the legal work reasonably for you, so you will have plenty of time to write. You can consider creating short drama scripts.
In addition, after this round of financing is completed, I will draft the Stock Options incentive plan document, and you will be the first incentive recipient.
The share is 2%, and this portion of the equity will be provided by Chairman Liu at the lowest possible price. This is also a way for Chairman Liu to express his gratitude to you personally.
Upon hearing this, the money-grubber Xu Qing's eyes lit up instantly. "Thank you, Yuan Yuan! Thank you, Chairman Liu!"
The so-called Chairman Liu is Liu Fangbo, the current Big Boss of the company, who owns 85% of the shares.
Previously, it was a wholly-owned private enterprise, but in order to win over Guo Liyuan's short drama team, he sold 15% of the shares to Guo Liyuan at a very low price.
As a legal professional, Xu Qing naturally has a good understanding of Stock Options.
The Stock Options incentives that Youjie Home Services previously granted to Li Meixia and Wang Ning were the legal documents she drafted.
She'll borrow money to get those 2% Stock Options!
The thought of becoming a shareholder in a company filled Xu Qing with excitement.
Hahaha! I, Xu Qing, am truly the chosen one!
Tang Song! You really are the male protagonist of my novel!
Mwah~ Mwah mwah mwah~
I chatted with Guo Liyuan for a while longer.
Xu Qing returned to her workstation excitedly and chatted with her colleagues around her with a smile.
She opened WeChat and left a message for Tang Song: "Tang Song, I just heard from Yuan Yuan that you're coming to the company on Sunday to discuss drafting Letter of Intent for Investment. I'll treat you to dinner then! Also, thank you for your trust in me!"
Then, she opened her best friend's chat window and left a message: "Yan Yan, I've made it big again! Tang Song and the company's investment are basically finalized, and the company's major shareholder is going to give me 2% Stock Options as an incentive!"
After sending the message, Xu Qing was still so excited that she couldn't help but shake her leg.
Open the "The Beauty of the Anime World" group chat and start making up new storylines.
With her irresistible personal charm and professional ethics, top lawyer Qing Qing gains the favor of a listed media company and becomes a shareholder, thus beginning a new chapter and a new storyline...
"Buzz buzz buzz—" The Mobile Phone vibrated.
A chat window popped up.
[Tang Song: "Qing Qing, just saying thank you isn't enough to show your sincerity."]
"That wretched little Songzi, all he does is tease me!"
"Just wait and see how I bully you in the novel!"
After silently uttering a few harsh words, Xu Qing blinked her big, dark eyes and took a selfie with her cheeks flushed.
Looking at the result, my hair seems a bit messy.
Then, I fixed my hair and took a few more photos from different angles.
I picked the best-looking one and sent it over, replying, "That's sincere enough, isn't it?"
"Buzzing—"
[Tang Song: Elderly man looking at his Mobile Phone the subway. jpg]
[Tang Song: "Why are you posting selfies all of a sudden? Qing Qing, how narcissistic are you! Fine, after I'm done with this, let's find a small hotel and I'll take some good selfies for you."]
"Ha! Ha! Ha!" Xu Qing stared wide-eyed and opened her mouth wide, looking at the message with a shocked expression.
I... I... I... Fuck!
(ΩДΩ)
"Xu Qing, are you alright?" her colleague Li Shubin asked with concern. "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"No, no, it's nothing. I just saw a gossip post and got a fright." Xu Qing smiled awkwardly.
The other colleagues nearby immediately gathered around and started whispering excitedly.
Today's gossip is so plentiful, everyone's secretly Pat Pat.
Youjie Home Services.
"No need to be so polite. It's because your company is so outstanding that everything went so smoothly."
"Okay, once we've secured funding on both sides, let's get together properly. We have quite a few of our classmates here in Yancheng."
"Okay, bye-bye Yuan Yuan."
I hung up the phone.
Shen Yuyan sighed, her feelings complicated.
The contact between Ordinary People Tang Song was so smooth, and both sides were 100% sincere, making it a perfect match.
The terms offered by Tang Song were very reasonable, and they even indicated that they could forgo signing Betting Agreement.
In comparison, the Youjie Home Services was far from what I had imagined.
The two sides have held numerous discussions on the contents of the Letter of Intent for Investment, but have been unable to reach an agreement.
Senior Ren Mingyuan made some impressive promises at the time, but now he's just using disagreements with the company's management as an excuse.
However, at this point, Youjie Home Services had no other choice.
They will travel to Imperial Capital together on Saturday and hold final negotiations at the headquarters of Gongying Technology on Sunday.
It is highly likely that both sides will make some concessions and then begin due diligence.
The primary goal is to secure funding as quickly as possible.
"Knock knock knock—" The office door was pushed open.
Li Meixia stepped in. "Yuyan, all the heads of our cooperative agents have arrived in Yancheng today. I've already booked the banquet hall; it will start at 7 p. m.
"Okay, I understand."
"Okay, here's the list. I'm going to prepare for tonight's activities." Li Meixia put down the documents in her hand and walked out.
Shen Yuyan picked up the list, glanced at it, and pursed her lips tightly.
Youjie Home Services's self-operated stores are mainly located in Yancheng and two surrounding cities.
Other regions adopt a cooperative agency operation model.
In other words, when the platform has business in other regions, it will be assigned to the corresponding agent.
The main source of these clients is her self-media accounts.
Its coverage area is only around Yan Province, and it doesn't actually have many agents or businesses.
But it was also the result of her two years of hard work.
Gongying Technology also saw the potential in their channels and wanted to cooperate for mutual benefit.
Shen Yuyan clenched her fist, looking at the sky outside the French windows, her eyes filled with longing and confusion.
I hope everything goes well.
Lavande Hotel (Workers' Stadium' Stadium Sanlitun Branch), Imperial Capital.
In a spacious and bright twin room.
The soft lighting creates a warm and comfortable atmosphere.
"Knock knock knock—" A knocking sound rang out on the door.
Zhang Xintong rolled around on the clean white blankets and hurried to the door.
I looked through the peephole and opened the door.
Tian Tian said, "Sister Zhong Yi, you're here!"
Wen Ruan, who was tidying her clothes, also greeted her with a smile, "Good afternoon, Zhong Yi."
Zhong Yi nodded and handed over the two bags she was carrying. "Thank you for your hard work, colleagues at headquarters. This is a business trip perk arranged by President Liu, including snacks, fruit tea, and desserts."
"Thank you, Sister Zhong Yi, thank you, President Liu." Zhang Xintong quickly accepted it.
Zhong Yi is the Human Resources & Administration Manager of the Imperial Capital branch, President Liu the General Manager of the branch.
We had all met before at the company's annual meeting, so we weren't strangers.
Compared to Yancheng, the Imperial Capital offers more business opportunities, even though the competition is fiercer.
Guangying Media has been developing for 15 years and is considered a leader in the Yancheng media industry.
In addition to Yancheng, the company has branches or subsidiaries in several major first-tier cities.
The Imperial Capital branch is the largest among them.
Zhong Yi chuckled, "President Liu will be over after his meeting. You can thank him in person. Okay, I still have to deliver to Meiling and the others. Bye-bye."
"Bye-bye~" "Bye-bye~"
"Bang!" The door was slammed shut.
Zhang Xintong placed the food on the coffee table and said with a smile, "Sister Wen Ruan, our company is really generous this time. We've provided a business car for your pick-up and drop-off, high-class accommodations, and such a wonderful afternoon tea."
"That's normal. This client is extremely important, with a minimum annual Google account expenditure of 50 million, including a significant amount of overseas business. They are crucial to Guangying Media!"
"This President Liu is really impressive; he managed to secure a deal with a big company like Meigou Technology. I heard from my colleagues that if this contract goes smoothly, President Liu will be promoted to vice president of headquarters, in charge of the company's GG sales business."
"Hmm, that's pretty impressive." Wen Ruan nodded, closed her suitcase, took her clothes to the bedside, and began to change.
Meigou Technology is a fast-fashion cross-border e-commerce company backed by Smiling Holdings, with business services covering more than 150 countries and regions worldwide.
Through innovative business models and operational strategies, it has achieved remarkable success in the international market.
Last year, the company had a net profit of $3 billion, ranking fourth on the global unicorn list.
With Liu Chuanzheng securing such a formidable client, his promotion to vice president of the head office is DingTalk conclusion, and no one will disagree.
Of course, what impressed her even more was that Tang Song had worked at this company for three years.
According to the information she received, Tang Song's technical skills were very high, and his job at Meigou Technology was very stable. She didn't know why he suddenly returned to Yancheng.
According to Hu Mingli, Tang Song looked very downcast when he returned from the Imperial Capital. His energy and spirit were completely different from what they are now, and he seemed to have been dumped.
She had asked him indirectly before, but Tang Song never gave a direct answer.
This further confirms this speculation.
She came here hoping to take this opportunity to inquire about something.
Although she knew the chances of marrying him were slim, out of a woman's sensitivity and resentment, she really wanted to know who that woman was.
She actually dumped the man I wouldn't even hurt!
"Wow! Wen Ruan, your figure is amazing! It's like Korean Comics body!" Zhang Xintong looked at Wen Ruan, who was changing clothes, with eyes full of envy and admiration.
This was the first time she had ever seen Wen Ruan wearing only underwear.
An exaggerated hourglass figure, with an E-shaped bust, a slender waist, and full, rounded hips, presents an extreme "S" shape.
Plump and glossy, large and full, it looks very fleshy and harmonious.
Terrifying!
I couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow for the Male God of the Tang Song.
From now on, I'm definitely going to be severely suppressed by Wen Ruan at home!
They might not even be able to lift their heads at home in the future.
"Then you should work out with me too."
"Forget it, I'm just not talented enough." Zhang Xintong looked at her chest and back and sighed helplessly.
Once Wen Ruan was dressed in a black dress, Zhang Xintong suggested, "Wen Ruan, let's go shopping at Sanlitun Taikoo Li tonight! You've lived here for nine years, you must be a seasoned pro, show me around and broaden my horizons!"
Wen Ruan smiled and shook her head. "It's a pity. I made plans with my college classmate tonight. We're going to have dinner and go shopping together. We haven't seen each other for three years."
"Oh? Male or female?" Zhang Xintong immediately perked up.
Wen Ruan raised her eyebrows. "Why are you concerned about this?"
"Just out of curiosity, I'm guessing it's a girl. After all, Wen Ruan, you already have such an excellent boyfriend, you're definitely not interested in other guys."
"That's not necessarily true." Wen Ruan smiled and sat down in front of the mirror to touch up her makeup.
Zhang Xintong blinked, then calmly opened WeChat and left a message for Zhang Ziqi: "Reporting to Zi Qi, Sister Wen Ruan is going on a date with a college classmate tonight, who might be male!"
Then, he Pat Pat took another photo and sent it over.
After a while.
"Buzzing—"
[Zi Qi: "I'll investigate again and report again!"]
[Zi Qi: "A 100 yuan red envelope"]
Zhang Xintong's eyes instantly lit up with joy, and she quickly replied, "Received!"
She was heartbroken and upset when she watched helplessly as she didn't get any concert tickets last time.
Later, Zi Qi kindly comforted her for a long time and even added her as a friend.
They say that as long as you can keep an eye on Wen Ruan's activities, your Male God Tang Song will give you some perks.
If she performs well, she may have a chance to get tickets to Su Yu Concert in the future.
Looking at the huge 100 yuan red envelope, Zhang Xintong felt very happy.
The Tang Song were indeed wealthy and generous!
Even a small piece of information can earn you a 100 yuan red envelope!
The two sat in the room, drinking fruit tea and chatting for a while about the marketing plan for this Meigou trip.
Wen Ruan glanced at her Mobile Phone, picked up her bag, stood up, and said, "Xintong, I'm leaving now."
"Okay, bye-bye, Wen Ruan- jie." Zhang Xintong put down the cake in her hand and stood up.
I was considering whether I should secretly follow them and take a few more photos.
Just then, the knocking sounded again.
Zhang Xintong stepped forward, opened the door, and said nervously, "President Liu, you've arrived!"
This President Liu will soon be promoted to vice president of headquarters, and then he will be their High-ranking official.
Wen Ruan also smiled politely and said, "President Liu."
Immediately afterwards, Liu Chuanzheng stepped in.
He was around 40 years old, very imposing, wearing a shirt and trousers, with a ruddy complexion, and looked like a leader.
Behind him followed his colleague, the flamboyantly dressed Li Meiling. (Chapter 124)
Liu Chuanzheng's gaze swept over the two of them, finally settling on Wen Ruan, his eyes fixed on her.
"Good evening, Wen Ruan. It's been a long time since we last met. Was the last time we saw each other at the company's annual party in January?"
Compared to six months ago, Wen Ruan has become more mature and sexy, she's practically perfect, it's no wonder he's been thinking about her for so long.
Now that he is about to be promoted to vice president of the head office, he is full of confidence and has become much less reserved in his speech and behavior.
Moreover, he boasts that he is not bad in terms of conditions and is currently divorced, so there is no need for him to hide his feelings.
"Hmm." Noticing Liu Chuanzheng's gaze, Wen Ruan frowned Wen Ruan.
At the previous annual meeting, Liu Chuanzheng had hinted at such things, but it was nowhere near as blatant as it is now.
However, she is about to leave Guangying Media, so there's no need to care about this kind of person, since she won't be working with him again anyway.
Liu Chuanzheng said with a smile, "It's just lunchtime. My colleagues have come from afar, so I'll treat them. Let's get together and catch up."
"I'm so sorry, President Liu," Wen Ruan said apologetically, "I had plans to have dinner with my college roommates, so I'll have to decline your kind offer."
Li Meiling, who was standing next to her, swayed her hips and came closer, pouting as she said, "Wen Ruan, you're being a bit of a spoilsport. President Liu has already spoken up personally. It's the same as meeting your college classmates tomorrow."
"Hey! Meiling, don't make it sound so serious." Liu Chuanzheng waved his hand magnanimously. "How about this, Wen Ruan, you can ask your classmates. If they'd like, they can come over for a meal together. It's at Da Dong Roast Duck Restaurant near Jinbao Hui."
"No need, President Liu, thank you for your kindness." Wen Ruan glanced at her Mobile Phone, waved politely, and said, "I'll be going now, bye-bye."
After saying that, he ignored them and walked straight out of the room.
The sound of footsteps, "tap tap tap," echoed through the stairwell.
Liu Chuanzheng's face immediately darkened.
Seeing this, Li Meiling, who was standing nearby, smiled smugly.
Hmph, let you pretend! You've offended President Liu, and he'll fire you right away!
Seeing Liu Chuanzheng's tense expression, Li Meiling affectionately took his arm and said with a smile, "President Liu, Wen Ruan has always had this independent personality, please don't mind. Let's go, let's eat and drink as we please."
Liu Chuanzheng glanced at Li Meiling beside him.
Although her figure and looks are average, she's definitely hot.
But then, thinking back to the Wen Ruan she had just felt, she immediately lost interest.
The difference is huge!
"Beep beep—" The car horn sounded.
"Ruan Ruan! Over here!"
Upon hearing the sound, Wen Ruan quickly looked in one direction, and a very familiar face appeared before her on the black Tesla.
"Jiaojiao!"
The car door opened, and Wang Jiao, dressed in casual clothes, stepped out. She opened her arms and gave her a warm hug.
"Long time no see, Ruan Ruan!" Wang Jiao patted her butt and exclaimed, "Wow! I thought you looked a bit overweight in your Moments before, but now you really have gotten so much stronger! All that working out really paid off!"
"Get lost!" Wen Ruan patted her butt. "I have a fit body, not just muscular!"
"Okay, okay, I misspoke." Wang Jiao laughed. "You just arrived in the Imperial Capital this afternoon, you must be quite tired. Get in the car, let's find a place in Taikoo Li to chat and eat."
"Mmm." Wen Ruan opened the passenger door and got in.
I parked my car in a nearby paid parking lot.
The two walked along the Pedestrian Street to a Western restaurant with a terrace in the Taikoo Li South District.
The magnificent sunset gradually faded, and night fell.
The two sat on the beautiful viewing terrace and ordered several of their favorite dishes.
A gentle breeze ruffled her hair, Wen Ruan fingers lightly touched the green plants on the table, and her gaze towards the terrace was slightly unfocused.
Colorful "stars" hang from the tops of the Chinese scholar tree, blooming like fireworks.
The bustling Taikoo Li is brightly lit, with neon lights flashing and music playing incessantly.
Stylish shop windows and bustling crowds intertwine to create a magnificent scene.
Is the night in the Imperial Capital still as lively and bustling as before? I hope it won't disturb my peace of mind anymore.
