Ambition and Longing

Yuhua Business Building, Fanfu Suzi Media.

The sound of the keyboard clattering incessantly filled the air.

Lines of text appeared on the screen.

Xu Qing, wearing glasses, had bright, piercing eyes.

She is currently writing a short drama script titled "Please, Miss!!"

It tells the story of a lively, ordinary office worker who transmigrates into the body of a proud and willful young lady from an ancient noble family, leading to a series of bizarre and hilarious events.

Xu Qing was full of confidence in this script, believing it would definitely earn her a lot of money, making buying a car and a house a reality.

With a wiggle of her little bottom, Xu Qing's eyes were full of smiles, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly as she opened the Mobile Phone banking app again to check the account information.

Today is the 12th, the day she receives her royalties!

Keep in mind, this is a royalty payment from the Golden Alliance!

With over 40,000 yuan in tips and over 30,000 yuan in royalties, the total amount reached 80,000 yuan.

This was her best month ever.

After staring at the number for a while, Xu Qing chuckled, opened the accounting Mini Program, and began to tally up her secret stash.

Of the 50,000 yuan fund Tang Song gave her to buy cosplay outfits last time, 36,000 yuan is still left, plus some of her original savings.

Her current current account balance is 124,000 yuan, which is also the time when she has the most savings.

And this is only part of it; the bulk of the money comes from the five 100g gold bars given by Tang Song, worth 230,000 yuan.

Total net assets: 350,000 yuan.

Of course, she won't sell it for now, since gold is a hard currency and its value is constantly appreciating.

Xu Qing's eyes sparkled as she thought of the gold bars she had hidden in her bag.

She prefers gold to diamonds, a product artificially hyped and associated with love.

Nuclear fusion can only produce iron at most, and it is extremely difficult to synthesize gold artificially.

Gold is a rare metal produced only by supernova explosions of stellar magnitude. It is the lingering embers of a Cosmos- level firework, and it symbolizes the romance, eternity, and passion of love.

To be fair, Xiao Songzi does know how to be romantic!

Hahaha!

ヾ (≧≦*) ゝ

After gloating to herself in her small office for a while, Xu Qing opened her best friend's WeChat and left a message: "Xiao Yan Yan, if you need money, just tell your sister Qing Qing, and I'll give you some."

When she exercised her rights, she borrowed 400,000 yuan from Shen Yuyan, and hasn't paid back a single penny since.

The reason she refused to repay the money was that she wanted the 2% stake held by the Ordinary People to be jointly owned by the two of them.

Shen Yuyan played a part in enabling me to acquire these shares; she was the one who actively fought for them.

According to information Shen Yuyan obtained from a consulting firm friend, the reasonable valuation range for Fanfu Suzi Media is currently 120 million to 150 million yuan.

In other words, her current equity value could reach up to 3 million yuan.

Moreover, it is foreseeable that this equity will continue to appreciate, and may even exceed 10 million or 20 million in the future.

She knows Shen Yuyan too well. Right now, Youjie Home Services is facing internal and external troubles. What if the company really collapses one day?

My best friend definitely wouldn't be able to handle it.

This company embodies all her visions and dreams, and she has devoted a great deal of effort to it.

In more fashionable terms, the sunk cost was too high, and she couldn't afford to lose.

If that day ever comes, she will not hesitate to give up that 2% equity so that her best friend can have something to look forward to.

After a while, Shen Yuyan still hadn't replied.

I checked the time; it was just afternoon tea time.

Xu Qing, who was carrying a "huge sum of money," couldn't sit still and wiggled her little bottom as she walked outside.

After going downstairs, I went straight into Lawson.

"I want this too, and I want that too!" she muttered to herself, tossing things into the basket.

Just like when you suddenly get a lot of pocket money as a child, you can sweep through the "corner shop".

Oden, potato chips, chocolate, drinks...

The shopping basket was quickly filled to the brim.

Xu Qing took out her Mobile Phone, readily scanned the code to pay, and felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction as she carried a large bag of snacks.

Upon arriving at the elevator, I suddenly saw a familiar figure.

Hey, isn't this my little sidekick Zhang Lingling... oh wait... Yao Lingling?

Xu Qing glanced at the other person's ample buttocks and a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.

If I had such thick fleshy pads, I wouldn't have to be afraid of getting hit.

But it's okay, my breasts are bigger than hers, hahaha!

After thinking for a moment, the cheerful Miss Xu Qing took out a bag of potato chips and a bag of chocolates from her bag, came to Yao Lingling's side, and said with a smile, "Hello, junior, what a coincidence, we bumped into each other again. I just bought some snacks, here, have some."

Yao Lingling quickly turned around and said with a smile, "Ah, thank you, Senior Schoolmate Xu Qing. Then I won't be polite with you. I'll treat Senior Schoolmate to a meal next time."

"Okay, sure." Xu Qing pointed to the bag the other person was carrying and changed the subject, "Did you just start working at the company?"

"Yes." Yao Lingling nodded vigorously. "I have an event to attend tomorrow. Many colleagues are setting up and checking things at the venue. I just finished there and came to the company to pick up my things."

"Oh." Xu Qing nodded in a very Senior Schoolmate- like manner.

The two got into the elevator, and Xu Qing's gaze suddenly sharpened.

Looking at Yao Lingling's firm and rounded C-cup breasts, I felt like the sky had fallen.

ヽ(°°)

What the heck is this?!

You... you're being a scoundrel! You're actually trying to cheat me!

The problem is, I didn't use any padding today! That's not fair!

o╮(>口<)╭o

Xu Qing quickly shrank back, choosing to avoid the limelight for the time being.

Noticing Xu Qing's subtle gaze, Yao Lingling blushed slightly and turned her body to the side somewhat embarrassed.

She learned this trick from the other person, which was somewhat embarrassing.

"Ding—" The elevator doors slowly opened.

Yao Lingling quickly bowed and said goodbye before hurrying back to her office.

First, he poured himself a cup of hot water and gulped it down before starting to pack his things.

The exhibition lasted for four days, during which time they basically stopped coming to the company. They needed to bring a lot of things with them in advance, just in case.

"Ling Ling." A voice called from behind.

Yao Lingling quickly turned around, smiling broadly, and asked, "What is it, Brother Liu?"

Brother Liu glanced around and lowered his voice, saying, "I just heard from Xiao Wang in the Human Resources Department that our HR director is looking at your file, your attendance, performance and stuff."

Yao Lingling was taken aback. "Huh? Why...?"

Brother Liu is a veteran in the company and has a good relationship with everyone, from top to bottom.

Currently serving as the administrative manager of the Dreamy (Charm Vista) Business Unit, assisting Xiao Mingxuan with daily affairs.

They are extremely well-informed.

When Lin Mu Xue visited the company last time, it was Brother Liu first spread the news.

Brother Liu smiled and whispered, "Is it about getting you a permanent position?"

"Ah! That's right!" Yao Lingling exclaimed softly, her heart starting to race.

Shangya Clothing Design Company has a probationary period for internal job transfers and promotions in some positions.

For example, when a design assistant is promoted to chief designer, a three-month probationary period is set because they need to be independently responsible for design direction, team management, and cross-departmental communication.

It's called a trial period, but it's really just an adaptation period, and there's basically no chance of failing.

She was officially promoted in June, which is exactly three months ago.

After becoming a full-time employee, her salary will not increase, but her commission will increase from 0.5% to 0.8%, resulting in a significant increase in income.

I've been so busy with the exhibition lately that I almost forgot about this.

"Haha, congratulations in advance! After the exhibition, a few of us colleagues will celebrate with you. You're the youngest chief designer in the company," Brother Liu said cheerfully.

Yao Lingling beamed, "Thank you, Brother Liu!"

Brother Liu waved his hand. "Alright, get back to work. I don't have anything else to say, I just wanted to let you know so you can be happy in advance."

"Okay, sure."

Watching Brother Liu leave, Yao Lingling was instantly filled with energy.

He clenched his fist and silently cheered himself on.

If she wins an award at the exhibition, she, as the lead designer, will gain some recognition.

Then my senior will definitely look at me with new respect!

Fanfu Suzi Media, in a small office.

"Buzz buzz buzz—" The Mobile Phone suddenly started vibrating violently.

Xu Qing glanced at it; it was a local, unfamiliar landline number.

"Another telemarketing call?"

Muttering to herself, Xu Qing answered the phone, her tone wary, "Hello? Who is this?"

"Hello, this is Wang Bin, the sales manager of Desheng Auto Sales. Is this Ms. Xu Qing?" A gentle and polite voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, that's right." Xu Qing blinked, somewhat surprised.

Goodness, are your noses that sensitive? How did you know I had savings so quickly?

Are you trying to trick me into buying a car?

Haha, I won't fall for that!

Cars don't hold their value at all; if you're going to buy a car, buy a house!

As a seasoned penny-pincher, Xu Qing is extremely frugal when it comes to spending money, and her biggest hobby is saving money.

"Yes, Ms. Xu Qing," salesman Wang Bin said enthusiastically, "Your boyfriend, Mr. Tang Song, has reserved an Aston Martin DB11 for you with our company. Would you like to choose a color now?"

"Hello? Ms. Xu Qing, is the signal bad?"

"Can you hear me?"

The voice on the other end of the line seemed to drift away. Xu Qing gripped the Mobile Phone tightly, her voice trembling slightly. "What... what did you say?"

Salesman Wang Bin quickly repeated it again.

Xu Qing immediately nodded and said, "Convenient! Convenient!"

"Let me add you on WeChat so we can confirm the color as soon as possible. Then we'll arrange for the goods to be shipped so you can pick up your car as soon as possible."

"Th... thank you," Xu Qing replied mechanically, her mind blank.

"Okay, have a nice day, goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Qing sat there in a daze, breathing rapidly, her mind buzzing.

After her first time with Tang Song, he did indeed say he would send a car.

I mentioned this a few days ago when I was spanking someone at North City Garden.

However, she didn't take it seriously, nor did she really want him to give her a car.

Knowing that Wen Ruan and Xiao Jing were involved, she still stayed with Tang Song, purely because she was blinded by hormones and fantasies.

After all, in her novels, she portrayed Tang Song as the male protagonists, men who could fulfill her fantasies.

She just wanted to be close to him, to play ball with him, and to date him.

They were even prepared for the possibility of breaking up in the future.

Unexpectedly, Tang Song actually gave her a car, an Aston Martin DB11 Volante.

In the novel "Wrong Room and Picked Up a Domineering CEO", Xu Yanqing's first car after achieving success in her career was a DB11.

The plot of the novel has once again become a reality.

For Xu Qing, who has a vivid imagination, it felt mysterious and enigmatic.

It was as if she were the "protagonist" chosen by fate.

Just as she was lost in thought, her Mobile Phone vibrated again.

It was a friend request from sales manager Wang Bin.

Xu Qing shook herself, quickly accepted the application, looked at the photos sent by the other party, and directly selected the "PET Satin Shangge Yan" color scheme that Xu Yanqing opened in the novel.

This is a globally limited premium color for Aston Martin, and she had been drooling over it ever since she researched it.

For those few days, I dreamed of driving around in a convertible sports car.

When the sales manager sent her a photo of the invoice, Xu Qing finally realized that she was really about to own a DB11.

"Ahhhhh!" she shouted excitedly in a low voice.

Xu Qing excitedly crossed her legs, leaned back in the chair, and danced with joy.

With a loud bang, the office chair crashed directly into the glass partition.

Xu Qing immediately stopped what she was doing, took out her Mobile Phone, found her best friend's number, and dialed it directly.

"Dudu beep beep—" The phone rang for a long time, but it was never answered.

Xu Qing was so anxious that she scratched her head and cheeks.

If I don't share such an important moment with my best friend, I feel like something is missing.

Youjie Home Services, General Manager's Office.

"In 2023, we created a total of 320 flexible employment positions, and our service personnel retention rate was about 15% higher than the industry average."

"We are currently focusing on expanding our enterprise client services, and we expect that by next year, this will account for 40% of our business..."

"For example, Yunxi Property, which everyone is familiar with, has already reached a preliminary Cooperation Intention with us..."

Dressed in a stylish and sophisticated manner Shen Yuyan sat in a chair, giving the interview with great enthusiasm.

More than half an hour later.

Meng Li turned off the camera and gave her an OK sign. "That's fine, Yuyan. Just take a few more photos of your office area later."

Shen Yuyan got up and went to her desk. She picked up a document and handed it to Meng Li. "These are the data I just mentioned. I hope they will be of some help."

"That's great, saves me the trouble of sorting it out." Meng Li smiled broadly. "To be honest, I think there shouldn't be any problems this time. Everything you've done meets the standards."

Shen Yuyan, "I hope so. If this works out, I'll treat you to a beauty spa treatment."

"Haha, you said it! No taking it back!" Meng Li and Meixia tugged at each other's little fingers. "Then Mei Xia and I will go to your office area to take pictures. Let's have dinner together tonight."

"OK, no problem."

Watching my friend leave the office,

Shen Yuyan sighed and sat in her office chair, lost in thought.

My college roommate, Meng Li, is currently working at the Yancheng Entrepreneurship and Employment Service Center, mainly responsible for media publicity.

They helped her a lot throughout the entire entrepreneurial process.

This time, Yan Province is selecting candidates for the "Yan Zhao Youth Entrepreneurship Support Program," and she and Youjie Home Services have entered the final round.

Meng Li took the initiative to go to their company and conduct an exclusive interview with her, with the aim of promoting her.

If all goes well, she can use this plan to help the company obtain a large interest-free loan.

It can also get Youjie Home Services into the Yan City Family Service Industry Recommendation Directory.

This was her last effort, hoping to fight back and revive the company's business to secure the second tranche of investment promised by Gongying Technology.

Shen Yuyan let out a breath, picked up her Mobile Phone from the table, and looked at it, her gaze slightly stunned.

There are three missed calls, all from Xu Qing.

Shen Yuyan quickly called back.

Soon, Xu Qing's excited voice came through the receiver. "Yan Yan, something's happened! Something's happened!"

Hearing her voice, Shen Yuyan irritably, "Can you stop being so loud? Just tell me what's wrong, I'm busy here."

"This is amazing!" Xu Qing exclaimed excitedly, "Tang Song really gave me a car, Aston Martin DB11, top-of-the-line! The price was 2.75 million yuan. I feel like I'm dreaming!"

The car dealership is currently sourcing cars from other places. Once we pick up the cars, shall we go on a road trip together?

Go home early tonight, and let's pick out some Mobile Phone holders and decorations online so we can decorate the car together.

Xu Qing's mouth was like a machine gun, chattering away non-stop.

They envisioned their wonderful life together after they owned a car.

When she finally stopped, Shen Yuyan smiled and said, "That's great! We're car owners now, congratulations Qing Qing."

"Having a car means you have one too! You can drive mine to any events you attend, it'll make you look really prestigious!"

"Haha, okay!"

I chatted with my best friend for a while before hanging up the phone.

Shen Yuyan bit her lip, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

Of course, there was more joy than anything else.

It seems that Tang Song really likes Xu Qing and is very generous to her.

Paying 2.75 million yuan in full directly is enough to buy a house in Yancheng, and it will be registered under Xu Qing's name.

The key point is that the two of them have only just gotten together.

That's so generous!

After staring blankly for a while, Shen Yuyan was about to put down her Mobile Phone when she saw another unread message, and her eyebrows twitched slightly.

Lin Mu Xue: "^_^ Today was really busy but fulfilling. I had a great chat with an industry leader, which was very beneficial, and I also successfully expanded my network."

Lin Mu Xue: "Yuyan, if you need any consulting services in the future, you can contact me."

[Lin Mu Xue: Zheng Qiudong's business card. jpg]

[Lin Mu Xue: Group photo. jpg]

Open the message box to view the photo.

Shen Yuyan's expression froze instantly, her fingers tightened slightly, and her breathing became rapid.

Zheng Qiudong?

Looking at the photo of the friendly and approachable Zheng Qiudong, Shen Yuyan couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy.

Previously, at MAHA Cloud Club, she had a brief exchange with the chairman of De Ju Ren He through Xiao Jing's connection.

However, in front of her, Zheng Qiudong was always aloof and distant.

She didn't even get the other person's business card, let alone add them as a WeChat friend.

In fact, she didn't dare to ask others for it, because she really didn't have the right to.

She knew all too well what kind of company De Ju Ren He was.

It has grown from a simple human resources service company into a full-chain strategic consulting group with business covering the entire Asia-Pacific region.

It has strategic partnerships with Jingwu Capital, Kate Trust, Hillhouse, Vision Fund, and others, and enjoys a global network of political and business resources.

Today, the benchmark is companies like McKinsey and Boston Consulting Group.

As the chairman, Zheng Qiudong's status, position, and influence are all things she needs to look up to.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Yuyan quickly typed a reply, "Just saw the message. Congratulations, Xiao Xue! You're amazing! I met Director Zheng once before. Is he in Yancheng now? I hope we can have a meal together sometime. Is that convenient?"

Lin Mu Xue: "Okay, but Director Zheng's schedule is quite full this time. I'll try my best to ask around for you."

Shen Yuyan: "Thank you, Xiao Xue. I'll be waiting for your good news."

After sending the message, Shen Yuyan plopped down in a chair and rubbed her sore forehead.

She knew, of course, that Lin Mu Xue wouldn't help her with this favor; she was just sending the message to show off.

However, she had to admit that she was indeed jealous of her, so jealous that she was practically going crazy.

Seeing Lin Mu Xue carrying LV Himalaya and driving Porsche 911, she didn't actually feel very jealous.

But this level of connections is a resource she has always dreamed of.

It was a much stronger thrill for her than money.

"Knock knock knock—" A knocking sound rang out on the door.

Shen Yuyan, "Please come in."

Immediately after, Meng Li, who had finished taking the photos, walked in with her camera. "It's all done. I'll work overtime these next two days to finish the article and try to post it on the official WeChat account as soon as possible."

"You've worked hard." Shen Yuyan poured Meng Li a cup of tea and asked with concern, "Have you been busy with work lately?"

"It's alright," Meng Li said helplessly. "The main problem is that I don't earn much, so it's not very motivating. I really envy you and Li Yuan; you're both successful people."

Hearing the name Guo Liyuan, Shen Yuyan as if she had been stabbed in the heart again. She said with self-deprecation, "I can't compare to Li Yuan. Her company is now valued at over 100 million yuan and is the leader in the local short drama business in Yancheng."

Meng Li comforted her, saying, "I think you just need an opportunity. You're so talented, you'll soar to great heights sooner or later."

Shen Yuyan shook her head. "I know my own limitations."

"Um..." Meng Li sighed, feeling somewhat ashamed, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have introduced Senior Schoolmate Ren from Gongying Technology to you in the first place, making you feel so awkward now."

The reason she was so dedicated to doing interviews and reports for Shen Yuyan was because of this.

Unfortunately, she was just an ordinary clerk, and there was no way to really help her get any benefits.

"It has nothing to do with you. You meant well." Shen Yuyan's gaze dimmed. "The capital market has always been ruthless. It's just that I don't have enough ability."

Don't say that, you are really excellent.

Meng Li offered a few words of comfort, but seeing that it had no effect, she seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "By the way, there's something you'll definitely be very interested in."

"What's up?"

Meng Li asked mysteriously, "It's about that Director Jin from Smiling Holdings. Do you want to hear it?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuyan suddenly raised her head, her eyes brightening, and asked, "Tell me, is Director Jin up to something big again? I haven't seen any news reports about it!"

"No," Meng Li shook her head and smiled, "It was one of her assistants who came to Yancheng."

"Oh? Director Jin's assistant?"

"Yes, there's a major industry event tomorrow, the Yan Province International Clothing Exhibition. Our company is also participating, mainly to help with publicity and promote employment."

Next, Meng Li introduced the event and remarked, "In order to make the event more influential, the government invited many well-known companies, including the holding company of Meigou Technology, Smiling Holdings, which also agreed to send someone to participate."

None of us expected that the person who came this time would be Ms. Shangguan Qiuya, Director Jin's assistant.

Of course, as a member of the supervisory board of Meigou Technology's headquarters, her participation in this event is even more meaningful and carries significant weight.

Currently, government departments are paying close attention to this issue, and media coverage has also been significantly upgraded.

Upon hearing the name "Shangguan Qiuya," Shen Yuyan's heart pounded violently.

First it was Zheng Qiudong, then it was Shangguan Qiuya.

The two big shots I met by chance at "MAHA Cloud Club" actually showed up in Yancheng at the same time.

After a moment of hesitation, Shen Yuyan asked, "Meng Li, are there any entry requirements for that clothing exhibition?"

Meng Li paused for a moment, then said, "There aren't many barriers to entry. After all, there are two or three hundred clothing companies participating in the exhibition alone. And it will be open to the public for visits later. You can register on the official WeChat account to get in."

Shen Yuyan directly, "I'd like to attend the opening ceremony and meet Ms. Shangguan, is that alright?"

"Um..." Meng Li blinked, "Then I'll get you a media pass tomorrow. You can participate as a self-media influencer, and maybe you'll get an interview opportunity."

"Okay!" Shen Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief.

My heart, which had just been stirred by the photo of Lin Mu Xue and Zheng Qiudong, gradually became hot again.

Shangguan Qiuya, Jin Meixiao's assistant.

With Xiao Jing's help, she had communicated with the other party.

Although Shangguan Qiuya's attitude towards her wasn't good, she knew of her existence and that she and Xiao Jing had a close relationship.

If we have the chance to meet again this time, we might actually become friends.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuyan's eyes sparkled with anticipation and longing.
