Tang Song and Zheng Qiu Dong

Under the dazzling lights, the atmosphere gradually quieted down.

Looking at Shangguan Qiuya Wei Xiao and reaching out her hand, Lin Mu Xue's face flushed with excitement, and her bladder contracted.

However, she is no longer the Xiao Xue she once was.

He quickly adjusted his expression, extended his hand to shake hands with Shangguan Qiuya, and said, "Ms. Shangguan, hello! It's an honor to meet you!"

Shangguan Qiuya smiled slightly, her eyes carrying a hint of meaning. "Miss Lin is young and promising. I am also very happy to meet you on such an occasion."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu Xue almost confessed her sins on the spot.

Look at that! No wonder she can be Director Jin's assistant! Her emotional intelligence is on par with Zheng Qiudong's!

This was the first time she had ever heard the phrase "young and promising" used to describe herself.

But thinking about it carefully, she, the Emperor Mu Xue, is truly worthy of him!

At 23, she became the General Assistant of Confluent Capital with an adult undergraduate degree.

This would be considered the treatment of a female lead in an urban novel!

"Shangguan flatter me, Ms. Shangguan." Lin Mu Xue's voice trembled slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and gave a polite smile.

Although he didn't know how Shangguan Qiuya knew him, none of that mattered now.

The important thing is that her pomp and circumstance were instantly elevated today.

This is the person representing Smiling Holdings, Director Jin's assistant, the focus of everyone's attention.

As the central figure, she had to maintain a proper demeanor.

The two exchanged pleasantries.

The people around them gradually held their breath, listening intently to the conversation between the two.

For them, these two individuals represent Meigou Technology, and their conversation is likely to involve details regarding future business cooperation.

A corner of the Conference Center.

Wen Zhenhua and Xiao Liguo in the crowd exchanged a glance, both seeing the solemnity and unease in each other's eyes.

"This—" Xiao Liguo took a deep breath and lowered his voice, "What's going on?"

Wen Zhenhua shook his head. "I don't know. Things have gotten more complicated!"

They were not surprised that Shangguan Qiuya and Lin Mu Xue knew each other.

After all, Rongliu Capital is a shareholder of Beauty Shopping International.

It's rather unbelievable that Shangguan Qiuya would take the initiative to greet her, and with such a polite attitude.

At least in their view, the two were not equals.

"Ming Xuan!" Xiao Liguo looked at his son and said, "You should know about the matter between General Lin and Qiuyue."

What exactly happened? Tell us the details.

Xiao Mingxuan pursed his lips and looked at Wen Zhenhua.

The reason he hadn't said anything before was because he was considerate of the other person's feelings.

Due to his busy work schedule, Wen Zhenhua didn't pay much attention to Wen Qiuyue's affairs.

Wen Zhenhua said with a low gaze, "Speak."

"Hmm." Xiao Mingxuan nodded and described what had happened in the Yuhua Business Building.

After listening, Wen Zhenhua let out a long sigh, his eyes flashing.

In his view, this was not a big deal, just a quarrel and argument between young people.

But if Lin Mu Xue can't let go, that would be a huge source of trouble.

It's not just Moon Dress Clothing, which is under Wen Qiuyue's management, but also Jia Xin Group.

Gritting his teeth, Wen Zhenhua picked up his Mobile Phone and dialed Wen Qiuyue's number.

Immediately afterwards, a clear voice came from the receiver. "Hello, the user you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later."

Wen Zhenhua tightened his grip slightly, raised his head, and said earnestly, "Liguo, Ming Xuan, after the opening ceremony, let's go apologize to General Lin together!"

Now that the leaders have arrived, they certainly can't go over there to avoid any conflict.

Without hesitation, Xiao Liguo nodded and said, "Okay."

Xiao Mingxuan nodded in agreement, feeling inexplicably relieved.

He really couldn't stand his fiancée, Wen Qiuyue.

However, the mistakes he made in the past, coupled with the enormous influence of the Jia Xin Group, made it impossible for him to shake off the situation, and he even had to be extremely careful around her.

This complex relationship stems fundamentally from the oppression of the two fathers.

"Ms. Lin, this is my business card. Let's keep in touch when we have the chance."

As they spoke, Shangguan Qiuya handed over her business card.

"Thank you, Ms. Shangguan." Lin Mu Xue took the business card, then quickly took out her own business card from her pocket and handed it over with both hands. "This is my business card. I hope to have the opportunity to learn more from you."

Seeing the two exchanging business cards, Shen Yuyan, who was standing to the side, finally snapped out of her daze.

I subconsciously bit the tip of my tongue.

The distinct pain reminded her that what she was seeing was not an illusion.

Immediately afterwards, an unprecedented wave of envy, jealousy, and loss washed over me.

The person I had painstakingly sought to befriend was easily obtained by Lin Mu Xue, and the treatment she received was exactly what I had always dreamed of.

At this very moment, although she was also standing in the center of attention, and she was just as sexy and beautiful, no one paid any attention to her; she stood there like a nobody.

Immediately, doubt filled her mind.

Lin Mu Xue is clearly just Tang Song's assistant, so why is she receiving such high-level treatment?

Not only the organizers, but also Shangguan Qiuya.

"Yuyan, are you alright?" Meng Li noticed her unusual behavior and patted her shoulder.

Shen Yuyan snapped out of her reverie and shook her head, saying, "It's nothing."

Meng Li whispered, "They seem to have finished talking. Would you like to go up and have a few words with Ms. Shangguan?"

Shen Yuyan looked at Shangguan Qiuya not far away, but still did not speak.

Perhaps it was the pride and self-respect buried deep in her heart that made her not want to appear too humble in front of Lin Mu Xue.

"That's all for now, goodbye." Shangguan Qiuya nodded to Lin Mu Xue, then gestured to the others before turning and leaving, heading towards the VIP seating area.

Shen Yuyan's gaze followed her figure, watching as Shangguan Qiuya stopped next to another woman and reached out her hand to her again.

Her hourglass figure, with its prominent curves, appears tall, voluptuous, sexy, and elegant in tailored business attire, exuding an intangible charm with every gesture.

Wen Ruan? Wen Ruan!

Shen Yuyan's heart jolted, as if her head had been struck hard by something.

Her heart began to race, and all she could hear was a "crackling" sound. It was as if the whole world had fallen silent at that moment, leaving only the sound of her own heartbeat.

Xiao Jing, Lin Mu Xue, and Wen Ruan share a common point of connection: Tang Song.

She suddenly realized that Tang Song's identity might be far more complex than she had imagined.

For example, he worked at Meigou Technology for three years.

Those three years coincided with the three years that Director Jin served as Chairman of Meigou Technology, a period during which Meigou rapidly rose to become a world-class unicorn.

The only ways Shen Yuyan could think of to enable a college student to become a billionaire in such a short time were cryptocurrency and participation in venture capital.

However, it now seems very likely that Tang Song participated in the "startup" of Meigou Technology.

If he had invested his technology patents as equity, he could have achieved instant wealth and become a true "Internet Plus upstart."

Shangguan Qiuya and Zheng Qiudong are likely the connections he built up during this process.

If Lanfeng International Hotel, Songmei Clothing, Fanfu Suzi Media, and the film and television base are all like this, then everything makes sense.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuyan's throat bobbed, and a complex emotion welled up in her heart, making her realize once again what she had missed.

So what should I do next?

Tang Song would absolutely not approve of Youjie Home Services. He certainly doesn't lack excellent talent.

What qualities does she possess that would win his favor?

The Conference Center features a spacious and bright VIP room.

A deep chestnut Leather Sofa sits calmly in the center of the room, while a soft wool carpet covers the floor, creating an understated yet luxurious atmosphere.

Through the one-way mirror on the left, parts of the Conference Center are clearly visible, like a dynamic painting.

Wu Wei picked up his teacup and took a sip, the shock on his face still lingering.

He raised his head, his gaze first falling on Tang Song, who was standing in front of the glass window, drinking tea with his head down, and then slowly moving to the handsome and solemn middle-aged man opposite him.

Zheng Qiudong.

Because He Jingping was busy with matters related to the joint venture, he represented Huashang Apparel at this international fashion exhibition, making him an important Guest.

Just before he was about to leave, he unexpectedly received a call from Tang Song, who wanted to meet him at the venue.

Thus, this small gathering in the VIP room naturally unfolded.

He never expected that he would meet this Legend figure in the headhunting world here.

What surprised him even more was that the other party was actually entrusted by Tang Song to "turn him into a traitor".

It made him feel flattered.

"Mr. Wu, you should know the current situation of Huashang Apparel better than we do." Zheng Qiudong leaned forward slightly, his tone steady yet carrying an undeniable sense of pressure. "The OEM business continues to shrink, internal management is chaotic, the supply chain is lagging behind, and talent selection is limited. You have worked at McKinsey for many years, so I don't need to elaborate on the logic and harm behind these problems."

After a moment of silence, Wu Wei slowly spoke, "Director Zheng, you're right. These are common problems in family businesses. Although I've been trying to adjust, the results have been limited."

When dealing with someone like Zheng Qiudong, he knew that many things didn't need to be said too explicitly.

"Mr. Wu's resume is impeccable, especially in strategic planning and operational management within the consumer goods and retail industry, where he has demonstrated exceptional talent." Zheng Qiudong's gaze was deep and sharp. "Unlike He Jingping, Mr. Tang hopes that you will have full control over Huashang Apparel in the future. Besides the prospects I just mentioned, Mr. Tang possesses resources and connections..."

It can also help Huashang Apparel launch quickly.

"Is Director Zheng referring to Beauty Shopping International?" Wu Wei asked tentatively, then looked out the glass window.

The female assistant who had previously been by Tang Song's side was now chatting and laughing with the leaders of the organizers.

He was taken directly to the VIP room after signing in, and it's unclear what role Lin Mu Xue played in the event.

But with his keen perception, he could naturally detect the relationship between her and several senior executives of Beauty Shopping International.

This was also his biggest source of confusion.

Zheng Qiudong smiled slightly, "Yes, but not entirely! This is an extremely rare opportunity, and I think that with President Wu's character, he would never miss it."

Wu Wei's eyes flickered slightly, knowing that the other party wouldn't explain things to him in too much detail.

Tang Song turned around and said in a relaxed tone, "Huashang Apparel is about to undergo huge changes. President Wu, don't you want to be at the heart of this transformation?"

After a moment's hesitation, Wu Wei looked at Tang Song and asked in a low voice, "Chairman Tang, are you sure you want to take control of Huashang Apparel?"

3

"Of course," Tang Song said firmly. "In fact, this matter will be settled soon. The reason I approached General Manager Wu is because I genuinely admire your abilities and your many years of experience at Huashang Apparel."

Wu Wei took a deep breath, his gaze shifting between Tang Song and Zheng Qiudong.

He knew this was a chance to change his destiny.

Just like nine years ago, when he met He Jingping at Industry Summit and joined Huashang Apparel.

He Jingping was kind to him and helped him rise to the position of CEO step by step.

This choice also means betrayal and selling out.

After a long silence, Wu Wei said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you for your trust, Chairman Tang. I will not let you down."

After saying that, he seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden, and his whole body relaxed.

At Huashang Apparel today, he is merely a professional manager; Chairman He Jingping still maintains overall control.

He was responsible for carrying it out.

This involves numerous problems: conflicts in power distribution, differences in decision-making philosophies, and communication barriers.

More importantly, the chairman's son, He Zhihui, has already been transferred from Hua Chang Wenchang to the headquarters, and it's only a matter of time before he is groomed to take over.

Wu Wei was a smart man and knew what kind of person He Zhihui was.

Moreover, he had only been CEO for a little over a year.

He once had no other choice, but now that Tang Song newcomer, has entered the game, it means that his life has reached its most critical moment.

He will regret it for the rest of his life if he misses it.

Of course, the biggest reason is actually because of Zheng Qiudong's existence.

The fact that this prestigious HR firm personally "hunts" for you is the best guarantee.

He had no doubt what Zheng Qiudong and Tang Song had just said.

Tang Song extended his hand, wishing them a pleasant collaboration!

"It's a pleasure doing business with you!" Wu Wei shook his hand firmly, then looked out the window at the bustling venue. "Chairman Tang, the opening ceremony starts in about ten minutes. Shall we go together?"

"No, thank you." Tang Song chuckled and shook his head, his tone relaxed and casual. "I'll observe here for a while longer." As he spoke, his gaze passed through the bustling crowd in the venue and landed on Lin Mu Xue.

As his "confidant" and "close friend," Zheng Qiudong was undoubtedly on his side.

He immediately informed him about Shangguan Qiuya and Lin Mu Xue.

As long as Lin Mu Xue appears as a representative of Beauty Shopping International, Wu Wei is also attending the meeting, will definitely notice that something is wrong.

In order to prevent He Jingping from reacting quickly, he had no choice but to bring forward the meeting with Wu Wei.

Moreover, to prevent any unforeseen complications, he directly and decisively "turned" Zheng Qiudong into the enemy's camp.

Of course, more importantly, Lin Mu Xue also has Branch Mission called "Experience Humanity".

This "Test Subject" assistant must have something "important" to do by sneaking off to the Yan Province International Clothing Exhibition.

As "observers," Tang Song naturally had to be present.

The result was as he expected.

I witnessed a grand spectacle firsthand, and once again saw Lin Mu Xue's transformation.

Then, his gaze turned to Shangguan Qiuya and Wen Ruan.

Once the Wen Ruan Partner's growth level exceeds 60, the message has already been sent to the game character.

Her next training task ③ [Showing her talent] is to have her participate in social activities, interact with other game characters, expand her high-end network and circles, and gain a certain degree of recognition in the industry.

And Secretary Jin's assistant is the best start for the older sister.

Having a complete memory of 2016, he naturally had met this Assistant Shangguan.

Like Jiang You Rong and Qin Yingxue, she was one of the earliest members of Secretary Jin's assistant team.

The reason I remember them is because they were the most outstanding in terms of figure and appearance among the three.

Unlike Lin Mu Xue's flamboyance, Wen Ruan behaved very low-key and reserved in the venue.

After leaving Yao Lingling, he and his assistant sat in the VIP section and met with some of the company's partners.

However, with the arrival of Shangguan Qiuya, this place also became the focus of everyone's attention.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, General Wen."

"Me too, I've always wanted to see Qiu Ya in person, and today my wish has finally come true." Wen Ruan shook hands with her, her eyes filled with curiosity, nervousness, and inquiry.

This personal assistant to Director Jin is exceptional.

Both her demeanor and appearance were better than I had imagined.

Of course, she was more concerned about why the other party had come to participate in this exhibition.

The two exchanged a few warm greetings.

Feeling Shangguan Qiuya's friendliness and warmth, Wenruan's Wen Ruan heart gradually calmed down.

At least the other party wasn't representing Director Jin to reprimand his mistress.

Given their previous chat history on WeChat, they quickly hit it off and had a very pleasant conversation.

"Shangguan, Director Sun is here," the secretary behind him whispered a reminder.

Shangguan Qiuya smiled slightly and gestured to the side, saying, "Besides meeting you formally, I'm also here on the orders of my superiors to introduce you to some resources in the political and business circles. I'll be staying in Yancheng for a while, so please feel free to contact me if you need anything, General Wen."

Hearing this, Wen Ruan's heart skipped a beat. "Qiu Ya."

The fact that Shangguan Qiuya addressed him as "leader" naturally meant Director Jin.

Previously, they recruited me into the "Ecological Alliance," and now they're having their assistant help them expand their network. This treatment is truly beyond words.

Wen Ruan couldn't understand how Tang Song could be so charming as to be able to hook up with Director Jin.

Could it be... that you have a good speaking ability?

She had to admit that she simply couldn't handle it.

The noise drew near, and a group of seven or eight people walked toward them.

The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a sharp suit, with an upright posture and a steady gait.

His well-defined face carried a faint smile, and he exuded an air of composure and confidence honed from years of leadership experience.

As a media professional, Wen Ruan naturally knew who it was, since she often saw it in various news reports.

However, given her past status, even as the Executive Director of Guangying Media, it would be difficult for her to get in touch with him.

"Director Sun, this is Wen Ruan General Wen of Guangying Media."

Then, Shangguan Qiuya turned to Wen Ruan, her tone warm and friendly. "General Wen, this is Director Sun Jun of the Yan Province Department of Commerce."

He said Wen Ruan and respectfully, "Hello, Director Sun, it's an honor to meet you."

"Hello, General Wen." Sun Jun smiled and nodded, his eyes full of approval. "Guangying Media's influence in Yancheng is evident to all. They are also a co-organizer of this exhibition. I hope we can have more cooperation in the future."

A surge of excitement welled up in Wen Ruan Ruan's heart. "Thank you for your recognition, Director Sun!"

This is the director of the Yan Province Department of Commerce, a department-level cadre, who is responsible for commerce-related work within the province.

Currently, all of the branches of Guangying Media, which she manages, are located in Yan Province.

Building such connections will undoubtedly be of great help to her future work.

Shangguan Qiuya took Wen Ruan's hand and Wei Xiao as she said, "Director Sun has made many contributions to promoting local economic development and international trade, and his achievements in attracting investment in Emerging Industries are particularly fruitful."

It is worth mentioning that Tang Yi Precision's base in Yancheng, jointly promoted by Director Sun and Ms. Ouyang, has greatly boosted the coordinated development of upstream and downstream industries and created a large number of jobs.

Sun Jun laughed twice, his smile becoming even warmer. "Qiu Ya, you flatter me. This is all part of our job. It's our honor to contribute to the economic development of Yan Province."

Hearing their conversation, Wen Ruan instantly understood.

No wonder Shangguan Qiuya would introduce herself to him; it turns out that Director Sun is a member of Ouyang Xuanyue's faction.

No wonder Meigou Technology specifically collaborated with the Yan Province Department of Commerce to hold an international clothing exhibition.

This person is considered "one of our own," and he's a full-fledged department head under 50 years old, so his future prospects are self-evident.

Truly top-tier connections.

Meng Li asked with some concern, "Yuyan, are you alright?"

"No, it's nothing." Shen Yuyan's breathing was a little rapid. "I'm probably just too tired lately, and I tend to get distracted easily."

"You're just too ambitious. Don't push yourself too hard."

"Yes, I know." Shen Yuyan absentmindedly, forcing a smile, but her gaze remained fixed on Wen Ruan's direction.

Meng Li continued in a low voice, "Director Sun is usually very serious; it's rare to see him so warm and friendly. I also heard that Director Sun might be promoted after the New Year. There's no way around it; his track record is truly terrifying."

Since becoming the director of the Commerce Department, he has directly boosted the economy of the entire Yancheng.

"Hmm—" Shen Yuyan's mouth felt dry.

As someone who is keen on networking and climbing the social ladder, how could she not know Sun Jun?

The investments in high-tech companies such as Tang Yi Precision and Guyu Biology are all achievements made during the other party's tenure.

Taking another step up, Shen Yuyan watched Wen Ruan chatting and laughing with Sun Jun and Shangguan Qiuya, and she was incredibly envious.

Then, I couldn't help but start daydreaming again.

If she were in the position of Wen Ruan, how glamorous she would be.

Overwhelmed with excitement, Shangguan Qiuya, the boss of Guangying Media, a co-organizer of the conference, and a friend of the organizer, couldn't help but shudder. Her face flushed slightly, and she quickly brought her legs together.

Just then.

Suddenly, Shangguan Qiuya was in Shen Yuyan's line of sight, turned around and looked towards the side hall area.

Immediately afterwards, Wen Ruan, Sun Jun, and the others followed her gaze.

As the absolute focus of the venue, their actions immediately attracted the attention of those around them.

As if drawn by a magnet, countless gazes quickly converged on the side hall area.

Under the bright lights, two figures appeared in the exit area of the VIP hall.

The man on the left is a young man of about 25 or 26 years old, with a charming demeanor and handsome appearance.

On the right is a middle-aged man in his early forties, with a handsome face and a calm expression.

The two were dressed in well-tailored British suits, with straight shoulders and well-proportioned waists.

He naturally exudes an invisible aura, calm and confident.

Tang Song and Zheng Qiudong.

Shen Yuyan's gaze gradually froze, and a hot flow gushed out from beneath her.

Lin Mu Xue, who was secretly showing off, shrank her neck, a look of panic flashing across her face, and quickly walked over there.

"Yi Yi!"

The murmurs in the room quickly spread, rippling throughout the entire hall.

Zheng Qiudong, a well-known business figure, has a high profile, especially since most of the attendees were corporate executives.

His arrival undoubtedly brought the opening ceremony to another climax.

Meng Li's eyes lit up instantly, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, what handsome young men! That older guy is not bad either! They're all so handsome! They have such great charisma!"

Shen Yuyan had no intention of responding to her and unconsciously took a step towards Tang Song.

However, even faster than her were Shangguan Qiuya and others in the VIP area.

Shen Yuyan paused, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
