Secretary Jin: Let Her See This Photo

Inside the LV boutique.

Tang Song sat calmly on the sofa in the Rest Area.

Two saleswomen surrounded him.

One of them showed him the inside and outside of the bag Yi Yi to make sure there was no damage or flaws, and then carefully packed it.

Another person is holding a POS machine, ready to scan the code to pay.

With a "beep," the payment slip was dispensed.

Zi Yue and Xin Yu, who were standing next to each other, exchanged a glance and looked at their respective portions of the table.

I just struck up a conversation and said I was Lin Mu Xue's friend, and that I had seen Xiao Xue post his photo in the group chat before.

Then I introduced him to some basic knowledge about bags, and as a result, I was bathed in sunshine.

Each person received an LV cashmere scarf and two accessories.

The total value exceeds 10,000 yuan.

The two women looked on with envy as they watched the sales consultant helping Mr. Tang apply for a Super VIP card.

They've seen plenty of handsome men, and they know some wealthy ones as well.

Such a young and outstanding billionaire is something I never even dreamed of.

He owns a luxury mansion in Shenzhen Bay No. 1, drives Bentley Continental GT, wears a 700,000 HKD Overseas 4300V, and spends money like water at the LV boutique...

He just sat there, and everyone's attention was drawn to him.

Messages kept coming in the WeChat group.

Although they come from all over the country, they all have one thing in common: they are vain and materialistic.

Xiao Xue's boyfriend was as devastating to them as a nuclear bomb.

It's hard to imagine how Xiao Xue managed to get close to such a person.

Judging from the way he bought the bags, it's obvious he has more than one girlfriend.

But who cares?

If given the chance to replace them, they would definitely swarm in.

"Alright, Mr. Tang! Your electronic card has been processed. The physical card will be delivered by mail. You can send me the address on WeChat when you have time." The saleswoman had a warm and friendly smile on her face. "We will deliver these items to your residence shortly. Thank you for your patronage of Louis Vuitton."

"Okay." Tang Song nodded slightly, stood up from the sofa, and glanced at the large pile of gift boxes on the table.

The total expenditure was 1.34 million, of which 900,000 was for bags, and the rest were accessories, perfumes, etc.

In addition, there were a bunch of small items given away as part of the in-store promotions, so there was a lot of stuff.

Then he looked at the two girls next to him and said with Wei Xiao, "Don't forget your things."

"Thank you, Mr. Tang!" Zi Yue and Xin Yu exchanged a glance, quickly stepped forward, and bent down to pick up the gift box.

The LV boutique-exclusive packaging and tote bag look very prestigious.

They came here purely to take photos and post them on social media; they never expected to get such a benefit.

Stepping out of the LV boutique, I stood in the grand and elegant aisle of the shopping mall.

Looking at the handsome Male God beside her, Zi Yue sparkled. She stepped forward and kissed him on the cheek, grinning, "Autumn is almost here, and I've wanted this scarf for a long time. Thank you, Mr. Tang!"

Xin Yu, Xinyu also stepped forward and kissed him, Tian Tian thanking him, her full breasts deliberately brushing against his arm.

Then, the two of them stood up straight, blinked, and looked at him expectantly.

Tang Song smiled and said calmly, "No need to thank me. After all, you are Xiao Xue's friends. I have to go now. Bye-bye."

These two people gave him such a strong sense of déjà vu; they were the epitome of Fake Socialite, practically a weaker version of Xiao Xue from back then.

The difference is that their faces and chests have clearly been surgically altered.

Sundress, stiletto heels, Internet Celebrity, and constantly talking about luxury goods.

Seeing them reminds me of Lin Mu Xue, whom I met at the Shengwei Pavilion.

My first impression of her was simply that she was beautiful, like a second female lead straight out of a Korean drama.

Unbeknownst to her, Xiao Xue had already taken on her own shape.

"Bye-bye~" "Bye-bye~"

Watching him leave, both of them showed expressions of disappointment and resentment.

However, they were self-aware enough not to try and force their way in.

"Buzz buzz buzz—" The WeChat group was still buzzing with discussion, mostly consisting of blatant flattery.

"With such an awesome boyfriend, Xiao Xue is sure to have a bright future. When are you going to mentor me?"

"Xiao Xue, it's been half a year since we last met. I'll come to Yancheng to see you next time."

["Xiao Xue, it's been a long time since we've taken photos together. What kind of work are you doing now?"]

"I seem to remember Xiao Xue mentioning that it was in the finance industry, right? And that she was very successful."

Thinking of Tang Song, whom they had just met, Zi Yue and Xin Yu both pouted, feeling incredibly envious.

However, he also offered a few compliments and took a photo with the LV Gift Bag he had just received, which he then shared in the group chat.

"Buzzing—"

[Xiao Xue: "I currently work at a foreign financial company, and I'd say I'm a senior executive. Work is quite busy, with many meetings every day, so I rarely post online anymore."]

[Xiao Xue: Office Photos]

Zi Yue and Xin Yu opened the photo and looked at it; their eyes widened simultaneously.

Upscale, bright, private offices, with towering skyscrapers in the background.

Xiao Xue sat in a custom-made office chair, wearing an elegant Chanel suit skirt and a Bulgari double-row diamond studded necklace, her legs crossed, holding a MacBook.

There were stacks of English documents and books on the table.

She perfectly embodies the aura of a financially savvy, career-driven woman, exuding confidence and charisma.

Is this Xiao Xue? Are you kidding me?!

After this transformative photo was released, the group chat fell silent for a brief moment.

"This..." Zi Yue Sparkle swallowed hard. "Why does Xiao Xue seem different than before?"

Xin Yu blushed slightly and said, "No wonder Mr. Tang took a liking to her; she's probably really going to rise to prominence."

"But one thing hasn't changed: she still loves to show off," Zi Yue said jealously. "But now she's really something else, acting like one of those female leaders from big companies we meet."

"Buzzing—"

Xiao Xue: "Okay, that's enough chatting. I'm going to get back to work. Bye."

Inside the Chanel boutique.

"Sir, what do you think of this CF Classic Flap Bag? Black is timeless, classic, and easy to match with various clothing styles and occasions..."

"Ring ring—" The Mobile Phone rang.

Tang Song took it out and looked at it, a smile appearing on his face.

He gestured to the saleswoman, then answered the phone, "Hello, Xiao Xue."

"Hey, Chairman Tang. Did two friends of yours just run into you at the MixC? I'm sorry, we accidentally took a picture of you while shopping at Starjoy City and posted it in the group chat. I apologize for the trouble."

"It's okay. I read the research report you sent this morning, and it's very well done."

Thank you for your recognition. I will continue to work hard!

Tang Song asked with a smile, "What are you doing right now?"

"I..." Lin Mu Xue paused for a moment, then continued, "I'm learning English."

"Then let's continue learning. I'll check it when we get back."

"Ah, okay." Her voice trembled slightly, perhaps because she was too excited.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Song couldn't help but smile.

With the buff "High Spirits" active, she learns very quickly.

The last time the three of them played basketball, they even started trash-talking in English, mainly to bully Qianqian because she couldn't understand them.

Xiao Xue is really going all out to maintain her public image.

Stepping out of the Chanel counter.

Tang Song checked the time; it was almost noon. He then got back into the Bentley.

Soon, the car slowly started moving.

Yunjing Chinese Restaurant, 70th floor, Shenzhen Bay No. 1 T7.

The interior is elegant and luxurious, featuring a "floating cloud Chinese courtyard design". Each private room is themed around a gemstone, and tableware was specially customized for the restaurant.

The 270° floor-to-ceiling windows offer panoramic views of Shenzhen Bay and the "Spring Bamboo Shoot" scenic area.

Stepping into the reserved private room, Tang Song finally met the person he had arranged to meet.

Liang Mingzhe, CHO (Chief Human Resources Officer) of Qingning Technology.

A middle-aged man in his early forties, with a calm demeanor and regular facial features.

What impressed Tang Song the most was his full head of white hair.

"Chairman Tang, it's a pleasure to meet you." Liang Mingzhe said with bright and sincere eyes, "I heard Lawyer Luo Bin mention you last time, and meeting you in person has made me even more impressed!"

"Mr. Liang, you flatter me." Tang Song Wei Xiao and shook hands with him, and the two took their seats in turn.

As a shareholder with a 3% stake, and with Luo Bin's personal endorsement and Secretary Jin's arrangements.

Liang Mingzhe appeared exceptionally warm and polite.

I took the initiative to talk to him about the current organizational structure of Qingning Technology.

This includes: senior management team, R&D department, product department, etc.

He speaks clearly and logically, with keen insight, demonstrating excellent eloquence and the ability to read between the lines.

"With the surge in AI search popularity, we made preparations in advance. Our B2B products were launched last year, and our B2C products have been launched this year..."

Tang Song listened quietly, his eyes flickering slightly.

Starting in early November last year, Qingning Technology internally incubated the AI search application [Qingmi AI] based on its self-developed Large Model.

At the suggestion of the representative director of Smiling Holdings, an independent subsidiary was established.

This time coincided with the day Liu Qingning arrived in Shencheng.

Moreover, the subsidiary's products are a perfect match for Liu Qingning, essentially an upgraded and enhanced version of her current job.

This could very well be an opportunity for her to get involved with Qingning Technology.

The more Tang Song interacted with these "game industries," the more traces of deliberate manipulation he could discover.

Maybe it was arranged by him in a dream state.

3 p. m.

Kexing Science Park, Century Zhixue, Conference Room.

"Sigh, I didn't expect Qingfeng to be the first to leave. But it's alright, at least he got the money." Zhang Xiaoni said with a sigh, "I still remember when we first started this project 5 years ago, I never thought it would come to this."

It's impossible for a team to have no feelings for each other after Struggle together for 5 years.

Today, only Zhang Xiaoni, who is in charge of educational content, and Wei Ping, the technical director, remain of the original five-person team.

Algorithm Director Cheng Qingfeng, Software Director Liu Qingning, and Data Director Li Ziying will all be leaving the company soon.

Actually, it was within expectations.

Their team is all technically oriented and not involved in business or sales, yet they still hold 35% of the equity.

If the company wants to develop new terminals, such as smart learning machines and educational robots, it will inevitably need more resource partners.

Shencheng has natural advantages, and using equity as an exchange to attract high-quality resources is the best choice.

Now that the software and Large Model have been implemented, with Technical Director Wei Ping and Technical Consultant Professor Wang Chang on board, the company's normal business operations can be fully guaranteed.

As the company grows in the future, it can attract more high-end talent and take on more advanced business.

Cheng Qingfeng and his group thus became the part that could be abandoned.

Reality is just that cruel.

Li Ziying clapped her hands and laughed, "Everyone, there's no need to be so sad. The three of us are just taking the money and leaving, and to be honest, I'm quite satisfied. Since Qingfeng is leaving, let's find a place to get together tonight."

Wei Ping agreed, "Sure, I might be going to Guangzhou on a business trip in a couple of days, so let's do it today."

Liu Qingning opened her mouth as if to say something, but remained silent.

Although she really wanted to stay with Tang Song and had promised him she would go home early that night, Cheng Qingfeng was officially leaving his job today, so she couldn't possibly miss the party.

Just then.

"Buzz buzz buzz—" The Mobile Phone vibrated.

Liu Qingning picked it up and looked at it, then stood up and said, "I'm going to answer a call."

After saying that, he answered the phone and walked outside. "Hello, Tang Song."

Watching her departing figure, the four exchanged glances.

All three of them turned their gazes toward Cheng Qingfeng's location.

Li Ziying, who was standing next to him, nudged his shoulder and whispered, "Tang Song has come to Shencheng, and Qing Ning is about to leave her job. If nothing unexpected happens, she should go back to the north with him. You don't have much time left. If you don't want to have any regrets, it's best to make things clear with her."

Zhang Xiaoni nodded in agreement, saying, "We should give it a try no matter what. Girls are emotional creatures; maybe we can win over Qing Ning?"

"Yes, we've Struggle together for so many years, isn't it a pity to just give up like this?"

As bystanders and Cheng Qingfeng's fellow graduate students, they could all see his feelings for Liu Qingning.

Over the years of working together, he has always taken good care of Liu Qingning, the kind of person who Mo Mo makes sacrifices.

They have also been trying to bring them together.

Unfortunately, the two never managed to be together.

"I..." Cheng Qingfeng took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, his voice low and deep, "Qing Ning should like Tang Song."

Li Ziying shook her head and said, "Qing Ning and him have known each other for so many years but they haven't been together. To be honest, my impression of him is really just so-so. I don't think Tang Song is suitable for Qing Ning."

Wei Ping patted him on the shoulder, "Tonight's gathering is a good opportunity, Qingfeng, don't leave yourself with any regrets."

Cheng Qingfeng adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, then lowered his head and pursed his lips.

Liu Qingning's every smile, every word, reappeared before my eyes.

Eyes curved like crescent moons, slightly upturned lips, the gentle curve of the bridge of her nose...

More than five years of getting along, every little Didi.

The White Moonlight, it's not so easy to let go of it.

Missing her will truly be a lifelong regret.

"There's really no way around it. With Qingfeng leaving, the five of us from the founding team have to have a get-together."

"We'll have dinner on Shenzhen Bay Avenue. We should be done before 9 o'clock. Come find me then, and we can stroll around the Pedestrian Street, okay? There are lots of delicious food and fun things to do there."

"Okay, okay, I know."

"Okay, bye-bye."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Qingning stood there in a daze for a while, and couldn't help but sigh.

I recalled the night before last at Shen City Talent Park, when he uttered the words "I'm sorry."

Actually, she wasn't fully asleep at the time.

With her intelligence and understanding of the Tang Song, she knew many things even if he didn't say them.

When I left the Imperial Capital, Tang Song's state of mind was still vivid in my mind.

Now he has suddenly transformed into Male God, his emotional intelligence has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has transformed from a silly boy into a warm and considerate man.

She'll trick herself into sleeping in the same bed, forcefully kiss herself, and occasionally give herself little surprises.

This is very unusual; this is very unlike the Tang Song dynasties.

Although she didn't want to believe it, she had mentally prepared herself for it.

That is, during the more than 10 months that Tang Song was separated from her, other women entered his life and even became romantically entangled with him.

The reason I don't say it is actually very simple.

She wanted to bring him back in her own way and make him become "his own Tang Song" again.

Perhaps in his eyes, she will always be that positive, lovely, and optimistic girl, "Liu Qingning".

However, her exceptional emotional and intellectual intelligence is not static.

She is also growing up and becoming a "mature adult," whether passively or actively.

Her feelings for Tang Song were both pure and complex.

It's not just a simple liking.

The two met in their innocent childhood, shared countless stories during their teenage years, and experienced the bittersweetness of adolescence.

Friendship is mixed with ambiguity; they encourage each other, complain about each other, and grow together.

After graduating from high school, he, like himself, worked hard and Struggle Mo Mo, doing his best within his capabilities.

Even disregarding romantic love, they are definitely each other's best friends, the kind of friendship that can last a lifetime.

It was precisely because of these complex emotions that she remained steadfast in her Mo Mo dedication.

"Buzz buzz buzz—" The Mobile Phone suddenly vibrated again.

Upon seeing the incoming call message, Liu Qingning quickly composed herself.

He answered the phone and said with a smile, "Hey, Xiang Kai, what made you suddenly think of calling me?"

"I missed you, what else could it be?"

"Alright, let's get down to business. I'm in a meeting right now." Liu Qingning didn't want to get bogged down in this kind of issue with him.

"Okay." Xiang Kai paused for a moment and then smiled, "On Friday night, our company is hosting a themed dinner at the St. Regis Hotel in Shen City Bay No. 1, which involves the issuance of a new Private Equity Fund, with the main investment focus on artificial intelligence and New Energy."

"Oh?" Liu Qingning's eyes lit up. She quickly walked to the activity area and whispered, "What's the minimum investment amount?"

"Our usual client base is 3 million, and we mainly target LPs in the broader entertainment industry, since our Gathering Stars, originated from the entertainment industry. However, since we're friends, I can pull some strings and get it done for 2 million."

"Two million..." Liu Qingning Pondered for a moment and said, "That's a bit too much. Let me think about it."

After leaving Century Zhixue, she was able to cash out 3.6 million.

Aside from buying a house in Yancheng, the best place to spend the remaining money is naturally through investment.

But there are too many pitfalls in the stock market and funds, and the returns on bond funds are small.

A reliable private equity firm is undoubtedly the best choice.

Juxing Huicui Investment Management Company. is a private equity partnership.

The most famous LP is Su Yu, and there are many other celebrity LPs as well.

Since its inception, this private equity firm has demonstrated exceptional performance and consistently stable long-term returns.

Moreover, the team is highly professional and has a close partnership with the renowned Jingwu Capital.

Becoming a private equity LP in Gathering Stars would undoubtedly be a good choice for her.

That's why I asked Xiang Kai for relevant information beforehand.

But 2 million was still too much, taking up half of her savings, which made her feel uneasy.

It would be better to prioritize dealing with her and Tang Song's matter.

Hearing her words, Xiang Kai advised, "Think it over carefully. This opportunity is rare. I only have this small privilege because I work in this team. I heard from Liu Shuang that you want to buy a house first, right? Actually, house prices in second-tier cities are falling now. You can wait and not rush into it."

"I know this is a very important matter, I need to think about it."

"Yes, I understand," Xiang Kai a smile. "But I still strongly recommend you attend the party. Besides learning about our foundation, you can also enjoy the performances. There will be many celebrities and singers performing that night."

"Oh?" Hearing that a famous singer was mentioned, Liu Qingning's eyes lit up. "Who is it?"

She has loved music since she was a child and is particularly interested in it.

This is also why she has a natural Good impression for Gathering Stars.

Xiang Kai casually mentioned a few well-known celebrities, and then added, "There's also Pei Yan Ke from the Echo Girl Group, and Bei Weiwei, who's been making waves lately. They're both performing Guest."

"Pei Yan Ke!" Liu Qingning called out softly, "Okay, then I'll trouble you."

"By the way, I heard from Shuangshuang that Tang Song came to Shencheng, right? Is he staying at your place?"

"Yes, that's right."

Xiang Kai casually said, "Then let's bring him along. It'll broaden his horizons and be good for him too."

Liu Qingning was silent for a moment before saying, "I'll ask him for his opinion later."

"Okay, that's all for now, you go ahead with your work."

"Bye-Bye."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Qingning took a deep breath, her eyes flashing with thought.

She naturally knew that housing prices were falling, and she also knew how precious the LP spots at Gathering Stars were.

Actually, she could wait and participate in this round of private equity first, and then buy the house after the second equity transfer payment arrives.

However, buying a house in Yancheng was her first goal when she left the Imperial Capital.

I don't want to give up so easily.

Let's go check it out first, meet the big star, and learn about the investment information of Gathering Stars.

Imperial Capital, headquarters of Smiling Holdings.

A rhythmic sound of footsteps echoed through the top-floor office building as more than a dozen men and women emerged from the conference room and dispersed.

The executive Chairman's Office was pushed open.

Two figures walked inside.

"Speak, what is it?" Secretary Jin sat down in her chair and looked at her assistant across from her.

Shangguan Qiuya whispered, "President Mo from Tang Zong Entertainment has arrived in Shencheng and met with Qin Yingxue. She came to see Mr. Tang."

"Oh?" Secretary Jin leaned back, her eyes slightly narrowed. "I understand. Where's Su Yu?"

"Director Su has been staying at Tang Zong Entertainment recently, where he is composing songs and getting very close to Wen Ruan."

Secretary Jin nodded slightly, opened the drawer, took out a photo, and placed it on the table.

Shangguan Qiuya quickly and carefully picked it up.

This is a photo of a man and a woman.

Tang Song 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.

Judging from the appearances of Su Yu and Tang Song, the photos are from 5 years ago.

2018 was the year Qingning Technology was officially established, and also the year Tang Song became obsessed with Celebrity Development games.

She nestled close to Tang Song, her face radiating a shy joy, looking absolutely beautiful.

Secretary Jin crossed her long, shapely legs and Wei Xiao, "After Liu Qingning joins Qingning Technology, let her see this photo at an appropriate time. Also, please arrange my schedule. I'm going to Shencheng on Qixi Festival, and I'll stop by Qingning Technology while I'm there."
