Have You Heard My Story?
Conference Center, media reception area.
"Hello, please show your media credentials."
Shen Yuyan took off the blue and white nameplate hanging around her neck and handed it over.
The staff member skillfully took the certificate, scanned the code, and verified that it was correct before handing over a document bag containing business cards, an event schedule, and souvenirs.
"Thank you." Shen Yuyan took the exquisite handbag and followed the crowd to the Rest Area.
The noise came rushing towards us.
His gaze swept around and soon landed on Meng Li sitting there.
Shen Yuyan quickly walked to the round table, bent down and sat down, Wei Xiao and waving, "Helo, I've kept you waiting, little beauty."
Meng Li covered her mouth and chuckled, "You've finally arrived."
Shen Yuyan shrugged helplessly, "There's nothing I can do, I'm quite busy with work, I went to the company first."
Seeing Shen Yuyan's expression, Meng Li asked curiously, "Did something good happen? You seem especially happy today."
"It's definitely good news." Shen Yuyan crossed her legs and said with bright eyes, "A major client we've been in contact with for a long time has suddenly reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with us. I went to the company this morning to deal with this matter."
At this point, a bright and cheerful smile appeared on Shen Yuyan's face.
In the past few days, she was about to give up completely, but unexpectedly, fate smiled upon her once again.
Xucheng Property is a company with a national first-class property management qualification. It is well-known in Yan Province and surrounding areas, with more than 20 property management projects and a management area of nearly 2 million square meters.
This morning, the Purchasing Department manager of the other party suddenly contacted Li Meixia, expressing their willingness to cooperate with them in housekeeping services.
Although they had visited the other party's headquarters before, they had no hope at all.
This is the largest customer that Youjie Home Services has ever contacted.
If everything goes smoothly, the Betting Agreement with Gongying Technology will be completed, the second investment will arrive on time, and everything will return to normal.
After all, it was a company he founded himself, and he had poured all his energy and effort into it.
If possible, Shen Yuyan really hoped it would succeed.
This at least proves her ability.
Even if she changes her career path in the future and seeks investment and cooperation from Tang Song, she will be able to be more assertive.
As a former school beauty, Shen Yuyan has her own pride.
She was unwilling to stand before him as a loser.
The two sat in the Rest Area for a while. Meng Li checked the time and whispered, "Yuyan, let's go to the registration area and wait. According to the information I received, Ms. Shangguan will arrive at the venue 30 minutes early and enter the VIP room after registering."
"Okay! Let's go!" Shen Yuyan immediately stood up and followed Meng Li outside.
Due to the high level of this event, it was divided into three registration areas: for Guest, media, and exhibitors.
The order of entry is usually arranged according to the Guest ' status and importance; the higher the status, the later the entry order.
Shangguan Qiuya was among the highest-level Guest, representing Smiling Holdings Meigou Technology.
After signing in, she would stay in the VIP lounge until 5 minutes before the official start of the opening ceremony. She would be surrounded by a large entourage, making it impossible for someone like her to get close.
In other words, she can only contact the other party during the time she signs in.
There are 40 minutes left until the opening ceremony.
The Guest check-in area was already crowded with media reporters and staff.
One by one, well-dressed Guest arrived on the red carpet.
Shen Yuyan and Meng Li found a relatively back spot to stand, their eyes fixed on the entrance.
I waited for about ten minutes.
A slight commotion arose, accompanied by a cacophony of voices:
"They're here! They're here!" A commotion arose in the crowd, the voices filled with excitement and anticipation.
"Quick! Get your camera ready, take lots of pictures!"
"It's Ms. Shangguan from Smiling Holdings, and leaders from our provincial government."
The sound of camera shutters then began in rapid succession.
Shen Yuyan's heart suddenly raced, and she looked in the direction everyone was looking.
Then I saw the figure surrounded by a crowd, dressed in a light-colored custom-made suit, with an elegant demeanor and composed steps.
Her appearance seemed to be accompanied by an aura, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Holding her DSLR camera, Meng Li nudged Shen Yuyan and whispered excitedly, "It's Sun Jun, the director of the Yan Province Department of Commerce! Director Sun is personally accompanying us! This is such a high-level event! It seems we've already reached some strategic cooperation agreements with Meigou, and they'll probably announce it after the exhibition!"
Shen Yuyan confirmed the testimonies, then looked at Shangguan Qiuya with a somewhat unfocused gaze.
That's the Charm of Power!
This is just one of Director Jin's assistants.
She couldn't imagine what it would be like if Jin Meixiao had come in person.
I heard that every time she participates in international charity and business activities, she is accompanied by international celebrities and political figures.
What a magnificent sight that must be!
Thinking of this, her body trembled slightly, and she could hardly contain her excitement.
When she first entered university, she wasn't nearly as calculating as she is now; otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to spend time with her best friend.
I lowered my score to get into Yan City University of Science and Technology.
Initially, she marketed the title of "school beauty" simply to show off and suppress the female classmates she didn't get along with; she didn't actually have much ambition.
However, during her sophomore year, she heard about Smiling Holdings through a part-time job opportunity.
Then, she learned the name that frequently appeared in major financial media outlets— Yi Yi Jin Meixiao.
A prodigy who entered Harvard at the age of 17, she earned double degrees in economics and mathematics and is fluent in six languages.
Relying on its exceptional abilities, it stirred up a storm in foreign financial markets.
From that time on, Shen Yuyan began to admire Director Jin and even started to imitate her efforts to cultivate her network and social connections at school.
He even tried investing in stocks, but unfortunately, he failed miserably and lost a lot of money.
Then, she watched helplessly as Smiling Holdings rose step by step, and as Jin Meixiao's name gradually shocked the world, creating a grand wealth myth led by her.
The shock was indescribable.
This also fueled her growing ambition, making her dream of one day getting to know Director Jin and even becoming someone like her.
"Yuyan! Yuyan! They've finished taking photos and will be here soon." Meng Li's soft voice came from beside her ear.
"Uh..." Shen Yuyan quickly snapped out of her daze and turned her gaze back to Shangguan Qiuya.
A group of more than ten people chatted and laughed as they walked through the registration area and approached this side.
Flashbulbs went off everywhere, and reporters from the media would occasionally go up to interview people for a few words.
As they drew closer, Shen Yuyan's heart pounded faster and faster.
The reason she dared to come was because of the confidence Tian Jing gave her.
Through her efforts to befriend Tian Jing, she has become a good friend.
Xiao Jing and Shangguan Qiuya have a very good relationship.
There is a basis for them to become friends, and there is also hope for it.
As the figure drew closer, Shen Yuyan a deep breath, stepped forward, and said confidently, "Ms. Shangguan, hello! It's an honor to see you here again."
Shangguan Qiuya stopped and her gaze lingered on Shen Yuyan for a moment before she nodded slightly. "Hello, Miss Shen."
A look of surprise flashed in Shen Yuyan's eyes, and she quickly continued, "I was chatting with Xiao Jing last night and heard that you were coming to Yancheng. I didn't expect to run into you here today. I'm so lucky."
"Oh?" Shangguan Qiuya smiled meaningfully. "That's quite a coincidence. Are you here to attend the exhibition?"
She was a very intelligent person, so of course she could see through Shen Yuyan's little scheme. Her so-called luck was nothing more than a chance encounter with ulterior motives.
Shen Yuyan blushed slightly. "I am very interested in the clothing industry, which is why I am here to visit and learn."
"Mm." Shangguan Qiuya nodded and said nothing more.
Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Shen Yuyan gritted her teeth, handed over the business card she had prepared for a long time, and said nervously, "Ms. Shangguan, this is my business card."
She tried to remain calm, her eyes fixed on Shangguan Qiuya, awaiting her response.
Shangguan Qiuya glanced at the list and smiled slightly, "Youjie Home Services, Shen Yuyan, okay."
Immediately, a woman dressed as a secretary following behind her took her business card.
Shangguan Qiuya nodded slightly to Shen Yuyan and continued walking forward.
Watching her departing figure, Shen Yuyan a long sigh of relief.
Compared to their previous encounter, Shangguan Qiuya was much friendlier and even accepted his business card, which was a good start.
Perhaps one day, she will receive a call from him?
Meng Li excitedly patted her on the shoulder. "That's great, Yuyan, you're amazing!"
Noticing the envious and jealous looks from many people around her, Shen Yuyan smiled brightly and said, "Let's go, Meng Li, let's go in. The opening ceremony is about to begin."
"Okay, let's go."
After turning two corners in the corridor, the main entrance to the Conference Center came into view.
As the start time approached, the number of people coming and going increased significantly.
Stepping into the International Conference Center, the view suddenly opens up.
Staff members in uniform quickly approached them and led them to the area where the media were located.
Since this was a clothing exhibition, and she was from a completely different circle, Shen Yuyan didn't expect to run into any acquaintances. She Mo Mo observed her surroundings.
"Yuyan!" A tap on her shoulder startled Meng Li, who suddenly grabbed her arm excitedly. "Look over there! Look, look! Isn't that your friend?"
Shen Yuyan confirmed the compliment and looked in the direction she was pointing, his eyes suddenly widening.
In the inner Rest Area of Conference Center.
Lin Mu Xue, dressed in a dark gray women's suit, stood elegantly in the crowd, chatting and laughing.
Looking at the strikingly beautiful Lin Mu Xue, Meng Li excitedly whispered, "The one next to her in black is Director Li from our Entrepreneurship and Employment Service Center! And that one! Director Zhang from the Commerce Bureau!"
She also had a deep impression of the executives from Juqing Huijin that she had met at the Innovation-Finance Exchange Event last time.
Just then, Lin Mu Xue, who had been chatting and laughing as if she had sensed something, suddenly looked over in their direction.
Their eyes met, and a bright smile appeared on her face. She even waved to Shen Yuyan.
This setup looks like a leader visiting and comforting the masses.
Shen Yuyan's brows twitched violently.
This Xiao Xue is really damn wicked!
From her perspective, Lin Mu Xue was indeed omnipresent.
She's a regular at all sorts of grand events, gatherings, and activities, even fashion shows.
A Innate Pretender Holy Body showing off!
Meng Li excitedly grabbed Shen Yuyan's arm and said, "Hey, Yuyan, she saw you and is waving at you! Let's hurry over!"
Her High-ranking official was also there this time. If she could take the opportunity to show her face, Meng Li might be able to get promoted in the future.
Shen Yuyan a deep breath and quickly composed herself. "Okay."
In any case, she and Lin Mu Xue were not enemies; on the contrary, she used Lin Muxue to make many valuable connections.
As the two entered the inner Rest Area, they could clearly feel the curious gazes from those around them.
Lin Mu Xue gracefully extended her right hand, a slight smile playing on her lips. "What a coincidence, Yuyan. I didn't expect to run into you here."
Shen Yuyan smiled and took her hand, "It seems we have a deep connection."
Meng Li quickly greeted the leader next to her, "Director Li!"
Director Li smiled and nodded, his tone gentle. "Hello, Xiao Meng."
Meng Li then turned to Lin Mu Xue, her eyes sparkling with excitement, her tone filled with anticipation. "Hello, Miss Lin, we meet again."
Lin Mu Xue's eyes flickered slightly as she racked her brains for a moment before she could vaguely recall the person's name. She could only smile and say, "Hello."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the atmosphere was relaxed and natural. Just then, several well-dressed people walked over together, their faces beaming with warm smiles and their tone full of respect.
"Hello, General Lin, I am Wang Libing, the General Manager of Lichun Apparel. It's an honor to meet you."
"Hello, President Wang."
"General Lin, I'm Qu Yuzhen from ELLE fashion magazine. This is my business card. Would it be convenient to schedule an interview later?"
"Thank you, I'll contact you again when I have the chance."
Lin Mu Xue always wore a calm and composed smile, her tone gentle yet maintaining a sense of distance.
He exuded a unique aura of authority.
Perhaps it was intentional, but it felt incredibly real.
This discovery left Shen Yuyan in a daze.
She keenly sensed that Lin Mu Xue seemed to have undergone a subtle change during this meeting.
The arrogance of a "petty person who has achieved success" and the affectation of a "green tea" have almost disappeared, replaced by an elegance and confidence that comes from within.
Moreover, you can sense that she is genuinely confident.
A sudden, indescribable sense of emptiness welled up in Shen Yuyan's heart.
Lin Mu Xue, who had been secretly observing Shen Yuyan, smiled slightly, a fleeting hint of smugness in her eyes.
Secretary Shen, you're really unlucky to have entered my place of enlightenment!
Since your best friend isn't here today, just watch as I, the Emperor Mu Xue, dominate the entire scene!
( ) Hahaha!
Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out in the hall, and everyone's eyes turned in the same direction.
Meng Li's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly in a low voice, "It's Ms. Shangguan! Weren't you supposed to enter 5 minutes before the opening ceremony? Why are you out so early?"
Lin Mu Xue's eyes flickered, and her heart, which had just been soaring, sank again.
This is Jin Meixiao's assistant, someone on the same level as Qin Yingxue. Her presence here signifies that she is part of Smiling Holdings.
Even as Tang Song's personal assistant, she had to show him some deference.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Shangguan Qiuya walked with composure and a faint Wei Xiao on her face, slowly making her way through the crowd toward the inner Rest Area.
Every step she took seemed to carry an invisible aura, attracting everyone's attention.
"Yuyan, look, Ms. Shangguan seems to be coming this way!" Meng Li tugged at Shen Yuyan's sleeve.
His voice betrayed his excitement.
"Hmm." Shen Yuyan's heart raced involuntarily, her gaze fixed on that tall and Ming Li figure.
A glimmer of hope ignited in her heart; perhaps she would have another chance to chat with Shangguan Qiuya later and formally bring the two of them closer.
Soon, Shangguan Qiuya stopped near the Rest Area.
His gaze swept over the crowd, finally settling on Lin Mu Xue with a meaningful and piercing look.
The previously noisy environment instantly became quiet.
Lin Mu Xue's heart skipped a beat, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
Why does it feel like Shangguan Qiuya is targeting me?
Looking at her like that, I felt a little uneasy.
Although she had direct contact with Meigou through Jiang Yanbin's connections, she was able to act pretentious and sophisticated in such situations with ease.
But facing a heavyweight like Shangguan Qiuya, he still felt a little apprehensive.
The other party is a member of the supervisory board of Meigou Technology's headquarters, a real big sister, and behind her is an unnamed Director Jin.
Just then, Shangguan Qiuya smiled gently and extended her hand, saying, "Hello, Miss Lin."
I am Shangguan Qiuya.
Shen Yuyan's smile suddenly froze, her mind reeling.
"Hiss—" Lin Mu Xue gasped.
My goodness! Shangguan Qiuya! You've heard my story too?
