Xingyun International Group.

Creative Planning Department.

Sun Simin checked the time and dialed Zhou Bo's number directly.

She whispered, "Hey, honey, remember to leave early!"

"Okay, just take a taxi. I'll go to the Westin Hotel to find Ruan Ruan first. You can come directly to the fourth floor to find us."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Simin quickly packed her things and headed outside.

As a department head, leaving get off work more than half an hour early is naturally not a problem.

As soon as I stepped out of the office area, I heard a series of hurried footsteps behind me.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Mingying, looking anxious, asked, "Si Min, Wen Ruan has come to the Imperial Capital, right?"

"Yes, I arrived on Saturday. I was just about to go find Ruan Ruan for dinner." Sun Simin asked, "Old Zhao, is there something you need?"

On the first workday after the wedding, Zhou Bo was called to the office by the CEO of Bocai Yingrui.

After a heart-to-heart talk, Zhou Bo was quickly transferred to the Consulting Services Department and appointed as the head of Group 3.

My salary has doubled, I don't need to travel for work often, and I get a large reimbursement allowance every month.

Incidentally, another best man, Zhang Zhiyong, also received a raise and a job transfer after returning from his business trip.

A series of changes led to a dramatic improvement in their financial situation.

This was a godsend for their little family.

After holding their wedding in their hometown of Shandong Province, she and Zhou Bo went straight to their honeymoon and only returned to Imperial Capital last night.

Since Wen Ruan is currently in Imperial Capital, I plan to treat her to lunch today to Good impression her.

Zhao Mingying hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Um, how about I come along too? Is that convenient?"

Sun Simin paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course."

When she and Wen Ruan first joined the company, Zhao Mingying was their supervisor, and they always had a good relationship.

Since the other party had brought it up, she couldn't very well refuse.

"Si Min! By the way, where are we eating?"

"It's very close to here, at the Chu Cuisine Four Seasons Restaurant on the fourth floor of the Westin Hotel."

"Okay, I'll drive you there." Zhao Mingying took a deep breath and followed Sun Simin toward the elevator.

He originally planned to wait until Wen Ruan stabilized before mentioning his impending optimization.

After all, she had just officially taken office as president of Guangying Media last week.

But early this morning, he, the head of the Media Relations Team, received an "ultimatum".

His Public Relations Event Department has begun to optimize its organizational structure.

Since the entire department was canceled, there was nothing Zhao Siya, the leader, could do. She could only subtly suggest that he could ask Wen Ruan for help.

The matter was urgent, and he had no other choice.

As the head of a subsidiary, Wen Ruan certainly cannot directly interfere with personnel changes at headquarters.

Asking her for help is essentially asking her to ask Director Ji for a favor, thus incurring his debt.

Fortunately, she had shown kindness in the past, taking the initiative to help Wen Ruan get a referral, and even getting closer to her mysterious boyfriend at the wedding.

Wen Ruan shouldn't refuse.

Chu Cuisine Four Seasons Restaurant covers an area of 2,000 square meters and features an elegant and comfortable interior that blends traditional and modern elements.

Through the window, you can enjoy a direct view of the bustling scenery of the East Third Ring Road.

Guided by the waiter, the two arrived at their reserved table.

Sun Simin dialed Wen Ruan's number, whispered a few words, and then gave Zhao Mingying an OK sign.

"Ruan Ruan will be coming down soon; she's staying in the executive suite on the 33rd floor."

"Okay." Zhao Mingying pursed her lips, feeling a little nervous.

After all, it involves his future. Now 36 years old, he will find it difficult to find a job after leaving Xingyun International, and his salary will definitely drop significantly.

His goal was simple: to maintain his rank and benefits.

As for which department I'll be transferred to, that's all up to my supervisor.

Thinking of her boyfriend, who was on equal footing with Mo Xiangwan, and of Ji Qiuyu's respect for her, Zhao Mingying harbored some optimistic fantasies.

If a Wen Ruan relationship is strong enough, it might even lead to a promotion!

As he frowned in thought, Sun Simin, who was opposite him, suddenly waved her hand, stood up and smiled, "Ruan Ruan, over here, over here."

Zhao Mingying quickly got up and then saw Wen Ruan walking Wen Ruan towards her.

She quickly greeted him, "Wen Ruan, it's been a long time! You've become even more beautiful."

Good afternoon, Si Min and Old Zhao.

Dressed in fashionable clothes, Wen Ruan smiled and came to the two of them.

Her long, wavy brown hair was casually draped over her shoulders.

Her face was adorned with exquisite makeup, her skin tone was even and delicate, and she looked radiant, stylish, and sophisticated.

Many diners in the restaurant turned their attention to it.

Sun Simin's gaze wavered for a moment, but she quickly noticed the change in the other person.

I feel like my best friend looks a lot younger.

Could it be because of love?

It seems Tang Song's performance is quite impressive! They've managed to moisturize such a powerful Ruan Ruan to this extent!

The two best friends chatted and laughed for a while, and then ordered food.

Sun Simin's husband Zhou Bo, finally arrived.

Zhao Mingying didn't directly state her purpose, but instead chatted with them in a lively atmosphere.

Upon hearing about Zhou Bo's current salary and position, her eyebrows twitched, and she felt a pang of envy.

That's the benefit of having the right boss!

It's only because his family is in the Imperial Capital, and his wife and children are here, that he would have definitely gone to Yancheng to hang out with Wen Ruan.

In that case, it's just a personnel change within the subsidiary itself, Wen Ruan can completely control.

He doesn't need to worry about being laid off; he might even become a director in a few years.

As lunch was drawing to a close.

Wen Ruan took a sip of hot water and suddenly asked, "Old Zhao, you must have come to see me for something, right? Tell me, and see if I can help."

She worked under Zhao Mingying for over a year and they kept in touch frequently afterward, so she knew him quite well.

Judging from the other person's behavior during dinner today, they were restless and hesitant to speak about their work, which definitely indicates that something happened.

Hearing the Wen Ruan, straightforward, and simple words, Zhao Mingying was so moved that she almost burst into tears.

What is a friend? This is it!

"Well, here's the thing." Zhao Mingying carefully chose her words and said in a low voice, "Our department is undergoing organizational restructuring. The original Media Relations Operations will be taken over by the media operations department of another business unit. As the supervisor, I'm in a very awkward position because the business unit that takes over doesn't want me."

"Huh?" Sun Simin said in surprise, "When did this happen? How come there wasn't a single word about it?"

"The management doesn't want us to say anything, they're afraid it will affect employee morale. The notice was just sent out this morning. Because I'm the supervisor, I knew about it a month in advance."

Sun Simin asked, her eyes darting around, "Why the sudden optimization of the entire department? Will there be changes in other departments?"

"Probably not. This time, it's because General Manager Mr. Zhang has a problem with our Media and Public Relations Director, so he pulled this stunt. When the gods fight, the common soldiers suffer."

As a media conglomerate, Xingyun International is riddled with factions, and conflicts and contradictions have always existed within it.

Managers like him, who have no connections, are 36 years old, and have only a college diploma, are definitely the first victims to be taken advantage of.

Sun Simin was relieved to hear that her department was alright.

Zhao Mingying sighed helplessly and said sincerely, "Wen Ruan, could you see if you could talk to Director Ji? You know my situation; losing my job would be too much of a blow."

Wen Ruan blinked, a bright smile spreading across her face. "Old Zhao, would you like to keep the Media Relations Team, or transfer them to another department?"

"Huh?" Zhao Mingying's expression changed, and she blurted out, "The optimization notice has already been sent out. Can our group still be kept? If so, that would be even better!"

He felt terrible seeing his department become a victim of internal power struggles.

After all, I've worked there for so many years, I have a strong attachment to it.

If Wen Ruan can really help preserve it, that would be an absolutely wonderful thing.

Sun Simin reached out and hugged her best friend's arm, excitedly saying, "Ruan Ruan, it seems like asking Director Ji won't work for Mr. Zhang's decision. Are we going to ask Tang Song to intervene? Or perhaps we should ask Shen Mo Xiangwan?!"

To them, Mo Xiangwan from Tang Zong Entertainment was a true legend.

As long as she asks, the leadership of Xingyun International will definitely not refuse.

"Heh, do you think I, Wen Ruan, have no standing? This afternoon I'll storm into the Star Cloud International Building and have a straight talk with our CEO! Let's see who dares to disrespect me!"

His Wen Ruan tone had a rare touch of playfulness.

Upon hearing her words, Sun Simin and Zhao Mingying blinked, somewhat taken aback.

While Wen Ruan's role as the Executive Director of a subsidiary does qualify him as a senior executive within the group, he is essentially at the same level as a business unit director.

Zhao Mingying scratched her thinning hair and said with a smile, "Actually, I just want to stay at Xingyun International Group. I can accept not being demoted, so there's no need for such a big fuss."

Wen Ruan shook her head and chuckled, "Alright, Old Zhao, it's settled then. I have a meeting at the company this afternoon, but I'll take care of your matter. Besides, you've been stuck in your supervisor position for several years now; it's time for a promotion."

Currently, only the company's shareholders and directors know about the fact that he is holding shares on behalf of others.

Everything is still under wraps.

However, everything will be made public with the shareholders' meeting this afternoon.

Those colleagues who once spread rumors and slandered her must be losing sleep and living in fear.

The "Yellow Rumor Incident" of that year will also completely disappear with this news.

"Ah? This..." Zhao Mingying hissed, her face flushed, "Is this alright?"

"Sure!"

Listening to their conversation, Sun Simin, who was sitting next to them, couldn't sit still any longer.

"Ruan Ruan, you're not kidding, are you?"

"Hehe, you'll find out this afternoon." Wen Ruan raised her eyebrows.

Just kidding! Zhuangzhuang is about to become a director of the group. Can't she enjoy the taste of power?

Looking at the surprised Zhao Mingying and Sun Simin, they finally understood how Tang Song felt about showing off back then.

Just then, the sound of footsteps approached.

Then, a soft voice sounded from the side, "Excuse me, Ms. Wen Ruan, may I disturb you?"

Several people looked up, curiously observing the beautiful woman who had suddenly appeared.

"Is there something you need, Assistant Zhen?" Wen Ruan put down her cup and looked up to meet her gaze.

Su Yu's assistant, Zhen Yu, accompanied her to the Imperial Capital this time.

It was a way of helping her handle some matters and ensuring she could successfully complete the shareholders' meeting.

Zhen Yu Wei Xiao and said, "President Mo arrived in the Imperial Capital today and is also staying at the Westin Hotel. He would like to meet with you now. I wonder if it would be convenient?"

"President Mo?"

Sun Simin and Zhao Mingying's hearts skipped a beat, and their expressions became somewhat tense.

Could it really be Mo Xiangwan? No way.

Wen Ruan took Wen Ruan breath, straightened her body instantly, and said in a steady voice, "It's convenient, we can do it now."

Zhen Yu bowed slightly. "Okay, President Mo is in the tea room in the restaurant. I'll take you there."

As she spoke, her gaze drifted toward one direction of the restaurant.

Wen Ruan stood up, patted Sun Simin on the shoulder, and said, "Si Min, Old Zhao, Brother Bo, I have something to do. You can leave as soon as you finish eating. Don't wait for me."

About Su Yu.

She had too many doubts and too many questions.

Su Yu's former agent, now the CEO of Tang Zong Entertainment, will undoubtedly provide her with an answer.

Sun Simin and the others nodded and said goodbye.

My gaze followed Wen Ruan's back as she walked towards the back of the restaurant.

Immediately afterwards, the door to a private tea room opened, and a mature and capable figure walked out.

She wore a well-tailored suit skirt, her makeup was exquisite and sophisticated, and her deep eyes shone with a sharp light.

"Gulp—" Zhao Mingying swallowed hard, her face flushed with excitement, and she exclaimed in a low voice, "It's her! It's her! Mo Xiangwan!"

Sun Simin gasped and pinched her husband's arm hard.

The other person's cry of pain confirmed that this was not a dream.

Wow! My best friend really has connections! Even Mo Xiangwan had to send someone to invite her personally!

In a warm and tranquil tea room.

Mo Xiangwan tilted her legs slightly, her long, slender fingers interlaced and resting on her knees, exuding confidence, poise, maturity, and competence.

Wen Ruan raised her head and straightened her chest, trying her best to remain calm.

She joined Xingyun International in 2015 and had actually met Mo Xiangwan quite a few times.

After all, Tang Zong Entertainment is their Controlling Shareholder.

However, at that time she was just a nobody, a figure standing in the crowd looking up and clapping.

It was precisely that impression from back then that made her feel inexplicably nervous when facing Su Yu and Mo Xiangwan.

Mo Xiangwan took a sip of tea and said gently, "You are even sexier and more beautiful than in the photos."

"Thank you for the compliment, President Mo. You are very beautiful too."

"No need to be so polite, we're practically family."

"Mmm." Wen Ruan nodded gently.

The 15% stake she held on behalf of someone else was transferred from Juxing Huicui Investment Management Company, whose actual controller is Su Yu.

Xingyun International Group is a subsidiary of Tang Zong Entertainment, so it can indeed be said that they are on the same side.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mo Xiangwan inquired about her work at Guangying Media, and then chatted with her about the current situation of the board of directors of Xingyun International.

He explained the background and circumstances of each director to her Yi Yi.

Speaking of the last person, Mo Xiangwan said coldly, "After you replace Zhang Chaoming on the board, he will step down from the company's management. Zhang Zihang, the General Manager of the International Cooperation Department, will officially leave Xingyun International Group this afternoon."

Upon hearing this news, Wenruan took Wen Ruan deep breath, and a strange emotion welled up in her heart.

She is not a saint; the "pornographic rumors" scandal caused by Zhang Zihang had a profound impact on her life.

This is the root cause of her silence over the past few years, and it has brought her immense pain.

Despite the incident, Zhang Zihang, the son of a director, continued to rise through the ranks.

Now I've finally calmed down and soothed the knot in my heart.

Seeing Wen Ruan's agitated Wen Ruan, Mo Xiangwan's lips curled slightly as she continued, "I'm here today to help you smoothly complete the handover of power. In other words, I'm here to support you. If you're willing, you can manage Xingyun International Group in the future."

Wen Ruan's eyes twitched, she clenched her fist tightly, and asked in a low voice, "I want to know, why is Su Yu doing this?"

Guangying Media, acquisition of a printing plant, gifting Magic City homes in Shanghai, Xingyun International Group ...

Su Yu's attention made her feel flattered.

"You can ask her about that in person; I can't say for sure," Mo Xiangwan said, taking a sip of her tea and smiling. "By the way, do you know Jin Meixiao?"

"Uh..." Wen Ruan was confused by the other party's abrupt change of topic, but still replied seriously, "Of course I know, the most successful female entrepreneur today, the Executive Director of Smiling Holdings, the Wonder Woman of the business world."

She had heard of the renowned Director Jin very much.

However, given her previous social standing, she would never have had the opportunity to meet such important figures.

Even if I were to become a director of Xingyun International now, it would probably be very difficult for me to meet him.

"Hmm." Mo Xiangwan nodded, but did not continue the conversation.

Wen Ruan asked directly, "Then let me ask you another question: what is the relationship between Su Yu and Tang Song?"

Mo Xiangwan thought for a moment, looked into her eyes, and said slowly and deliberately, "Currently, we are lovers."

A booming sound rang out in Wen Ruan's mind.

She originally thought Su Yu was her Official Girlfriend, but she never expected that he was also her lover.

So who is whose lover?

Was Tang Song Su Yu's lover?

Mo Xiangwan stood up and said softly, "It's getting late. Go back and get ready. I'll go with you to Xingyun International Group later."

"Okay, sure." Wen Ruan took Wen Ruan breath and said sincerely, "Thank you President Mo! And thank you, Su Yu."

"Hehe, if you really want to thank Su Yu, I can give you some advice from a personal perspective."

"What suggestions?"

Mo Xiangwan paused, then said softly, "Speak to Tang Song in private and get him to add Su Yu to the list of beneficiaries of Juqing Huijin!"

3 p. m.

Sun Simin had just returned to her workstation with her coffee.

Su KeKe immediately came over and excitedly handed over her Mobile Phone, "Sister Si Min, have you seen the photos in the group chat?"

"What photos?" Sun Simin took the Mobile Phone and glanced at them, her eyes widening slightly.

It shows Wen Ruan and several group shareholders and directors appearing in the building.

Standing in front of them was Mo Xiangwan, the president of Tang Zong Entertainment.

The atmosphere seemed very lively, with people chatting and laughing.

Su KeKe whispered, "I heard that President Mo is here to attend the company's shareholders' meeting. It seems that Sister Wen Ruan's boyfriend really has a good relationship with President Mo, as he's willing to bring him along to events like this."

As she spoke, an expression of envy appeared on her face.

When I first met Tang Song at the bridal shop, I just thought he was a handsome guy who could play the guitar.

Unexpectedly, she has such a powerful background; Wen Ruan has finally turned around.

Sun Simin nodded, her face glowing.

With such an amazing best friend, she'll have a strong backer in the company from now on.

Soon, discussions about today's shareholders' meeting began in various group chats.

They were speculating whether there would be any major personnel changes.

4 p. m.

All employees received a notification in their corporate email.

The entire building erupted in a whoosh.

Following deliberation and voting at the meeting, Wen Ruan was officially elected as a director of the company's board of directors.

Sun Simin, who was chatting with her colleagues, was stunned and overwhelmed by the sudden surprise.

Zhao Mingying suddenly stood up at her workstation, her breath coming in short gasps, her mind replaying the Wen Ruan words she had spoken at noon.

At the same time, another definite piece of news arrived.

Wen Ruan acquired 15% of the shares transferred by Gathering Stars, officially becoming the largest individual shareholder of Xingyun International Group.
