The warm light overhead cast a soft glow, enveloping the three figures in a cozy and hazy halo. The night breeze ruffled their hair, bringing a touch of autumn coolness, but also making the moment feel even more real.

Sun Jiayue looked at her high school classmate across from her, and memories of the past gradually surfaced in her mind.

Scenes of a youthful and vibrant high school campus flashed by Yi Yi.

The carefree, spirited young man gradually merged with this mature, confident, and handsome figure.

It is both strange and familiar, both distant and close.

"Tang Song?" she murmured to herself.

"It's me, you won't forget me, will you?" Tang Song Wei Xiao and nodded, his tone slightly teasing.

"You've changed quite a bit." Sun Jiayue tried to calm her inner turmoil and refocused her gaze.

She has never been a looks-obsessed person and doesn't care much about a man's appearance; she only admires successful business elites.

Thinking about his recent blunder, an embarrassed look flashed across his face.

He has changed so much, and he is really handsome, like a male lead straight out of a workplace drama.

"You too, you've lost a lot of weight and become much prettier, I almost didn't recognize you. And I heard from Qing Ning that you're doing very well now, a highly educated financial elite in Magic City, that's really impressive."

Tang Song looked at Sun Jiayue, who was dressed in a sophisticated business suit, with a sigh.

His words were sincere.

He and Sun Jiayue had not seen each other for more than seven years.

Two months ago, I returned to my alma mater and the memories of 2016 were still vivid in my mind. It felt like one second I was a chubby little girl and the next I had become a standard working woman. I couldn't help but marvel at the passage of time and the wonder of growth.

"Thank you for the compliment, old classmate." Sun Jiayue subconsciously brushed a strand of hair from her temple, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up.

She certainly has reason to be proud of her current achievements.

As for the hardships involved, only she herself probably knows.

Tang Song pointed to the casually dressed girl next to her and asked, "By the way, who's this next to you? Aren't you going to introduce her?"

"Uh—" Sun Jiayue turned around, "She's my college classmate and roommate, Zhang Nuo, who also works in this area."

"Hello, I'm Tang Song, it's a pleasure to meet you." Tang Song smiled politely and gently.

Zhang Nuo was momentarily stunned by his smile, and quickly lowered her head, stammering, "Hello, Tang Song. I was cooking upstairs just now, and I came down in a bit of a hurry."

She offered a forced explanation, then hid her feet, which were clad in red slippers, behind her back.

He appears strong on the surface, but his heart has already broken down.

I believed my girlfriends' words and thought it was just a goofy, overweight programmer visiting, so I didn't take it seriously.

They ran down to watch the fun.

The result was a beautifully dressed Sun Jiayue and a handsome Male God in a suit Tang Song.

He had become a complete clown.

She felt like she wouldn't be happy all year.

Seemingly sensing her thoughts, Tang Song looked at her and said, "As expected of financial elites in Magic City, you all have excellent demeanor."

Upon hearing his praise, Zhang Nuo's face flushed red instantly, and his mood brightened dramatically.

Oh my god! My Male God! If you can talk so well, please say more, I love listening to you!

Sun Jiayue pursed her lips, raised her head and puffed out her chest, saying, "Let's go, the food is ready, the crabs will get cold if we wait any longer."

"Yes, yes, I picked out these big crabs myself at the supermarket, you have to try them."

"Thank you, let's go."

As they talked, the three of them walked side by side toward the elevator, their footsteps echoing in the quiet hallway.

Upon reaching the top of the stairs, Tang Song placed the fruit gift box he had brought in the Entrance Hall and glanced around at the surrounding decor.

The interior design is simple yet stylish, with various smart appliances and artistic decorations, creating a very appealing atmosphere.

"This place is really nice; you've chosen a very nice place to stay," Tang Song exclaimed sincerely, his tone full of appreciation.

"It's alright, but the rent is expensive," Sun Jiayue replied with a smile, her tone relaxed. "However, the location is indeed convenient, very close to Lujiazui."

Zhang Nuo glanced at the two of them and then went straight into the bedroom.

Sun Jiayue invited Tang Song to sit down in the restaurant and asked him a few questions about his accommodation in Magic City.

Upon hearing that they were staying at the JW Marriott Hotel, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

Although she had never met Tang Song, she had some understanding of his current situation through the bits and pieces of information from other classmates.

Previously, he worked as a developer at Meigou Technology, a promising programmer at a major company, with the potential to be promoted to management and earn a million-dollar annual salary.

However, since Liu Qingning left the Imperial Capital last year, he has also returned to Yancheng and is working for a trading company.

Now that he's traveling in Magic City, he's staying in a 5-star hotel. And since Sun Jiayue knows a bit about fashion, she can tell that his outfit is unusual. At least, all the signs around Fang Yuan indicate that he's living much better than he thought.

When Zhang Nuo came out again, he had been completely transformed.

She changed into fashionable casual clothes, her hair was neatly styled, and she wore a dusty rose lipstick, making her look radiant.

The three began their meal, and the conversation gradually unfolded.

It was mostly Tang Song and Sun Jiayue talking about their high school days.

Several familiar names were mentioned, and some little-known secrets and interesting stories were unearthed.

In just a few words, they were transported back to their innocent and naive high school days.

Zhang Nuo, who was initially shy and reserved, gradually blended in, occasionally interjecting with a few witty remarks, and the atmosphere became more and more relaxed and harmonious.

However, as the conversation deepened, Sun Jiayue's gaze toward Tang Song became increasingly surprised and astonished.

As a professional woman who graduated from a top-tier university and worked in the Fundraising Department of a financial company for more than three years.

She naturally has her own set of standards for judging people.

At least this time when they met again, Tang Song's impression of her had changed dramatically, refreshing her understanding.

His facial features haven't changed much, but his speech, demeanor, temperament, and physique are completely different now.

Of course, the most crucial thing is actually one's spirit and energy.

The confidence and composure emanating from within seemed to overflow.

This state cannot be achieved simply by changing one's appearance.

At least its core has been updated and is no longer mediocre.

Even compared to the talented young men she knew, he was in no way inferior, and perhaps even more charming.

Yancheng, Beicheng Garden Residential Area.

The sound of keyboard typing was particularly clear in the quiet room.

Shen Yuyan began to quickly Yuewen, checking the existing financing plans, financial statements, and market analysis reports one by one, and optimizing and revising them word by word.

She rubbed her temples, feeling a wave of mental exhaustion from the prolonged mental tension.

"Ring ring— "Yi Yi The Mobile Phone on the desk began to vibrate violently.

[Mingjian Capital - Wang Yubo]

Upon seeing the incoming call message, Shen Yuyan raised an eyebrow and quickly answered the phone.

"Hello? Good evening, Yuyan." Wang Yubo's steady voice rang out.

Shen Yuyan tried to cheer herself up, her voice regaining its usual competence and composure. "Good evening, Director Wang."

I have prepared the materials you requested, and I assure you they will not disappoint.

"Hehe, I believe that. I have never doubted your abilities."

"Thank you for your trust, Director Wang! And thank you to Mingjian Capital for this opportunity."

"No need to be so polite, it's mainly because I admire your abilities." Wang Yubo paused, then said, "Have you booked your plane ticket? What day are you coming? Tomorrow or the day after?"

Shen Yuyan glanced at the calendar on her computer. "October 5th, which is the day after tomorrow, the high-speed train will take me to Magic City that evening."

"Oh? Business class?"

"No, it's a regular second-class seat on a high-speed train."

Wang Yubo said in an unyielding tone, "Then how about this? I'll have my assistant book you a flight for the 5th. You can fly directly here. Consider this an invitation to the event, and we'll cover your travel and accommodation expenses."

"No, no, no, that's not appropriate. Thank you, Director Wang. The high-speed rail is also very fast; it only takes 6 hours to get there."

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's settled then." Wang Yubo smiled and added, "I'll be waiting for you to come to Magic City. I'll introduce you to some people, including the Big Four audit teams and top law firms. I believe it will be a worthwhile trip for you."

Shen Yuyan pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed, "Okay, thank you, Director Wang."

After exchanging a few words, Wen hung up the phone.

Shen Yuyan let out a long breath, lowered her eyes, and fell into deep thought.

Gongying Technology's Series C+ financing is about to be completed, and preparations for listing on the New Third Board Exchange and Quotations (NEEQ) have also been put on the agenda.

Mingjian Capital, the lead investor, is actively making strategic moves to pave the way for the future.

She traveled to Magic City four days early to report on the current investment status of Youjie Home Services to the Mingjian Capital investment team and seek professional advice to ensure the smooth arrival of the second round of investment.

This opportunity was given by Wang Yubo, who admired her talent.

In addition, Wang Yubo would also introduce her to some high-end connections.

Among them are even management teams from Sequoia Capital and Jingwu Capital.

For Shen Yuyan, who yearns for upward social mobility and is ambitious, this is an irresistible temptation.

The essence of this society is not as simple as it appears on the surface.

Here, money, power, and resources are the true rule-makers.

Ordinary people can only passively accept the influence of these rules.

Moreover, she needs to prove her worth now, and this is her opportunity.

Shen Yuyan stood up, her eyes shining brightly as she looked south, full of ambition.

See you in Magic City the day after tomorrow!

"Gurgle—" Her stomach suddenly made a sound, interrupting her thoughts.

She paused for a moment, then licked her lips. She hadn't eaten dinner because she was so engrossed in her work and wanted to maintain her figure.

Having finished organizing the materials, I'm in a great mood, and my appetite has returned.

After thinking for a moment, she quickly walked out of the bedroom and first opened the refrigerator to take a look.

Then he strode to the bedroom opposite and pushed the door open.

Cheerful music filled the air.

What came into view was Xu Qing, who was only wearing underwear, lying face down on the bed, seemingly engrossed in something, completely unaware that someone had come in.

Shen Yuyan raised an eyebrow, walked straight into the bedroom, and casually asked, "Qing Qing, have you had dinner tonight?"

"Aaaaaah!" A piercing scream rang out.

Xu Qing turned around in a fluster, her pigtails swinging wildly, clearly terrified.

(°口°)!

After a moment, she sat up, feigning composure, her large, dark eyes darting around nervously. She was terribly guilty. "Yan Yan, you—why did you suddenly come? Are you done with work?"

As her longtime best friend, Shen Yuyan immediately noticed something was amiss.

His eyes narrowed slightly. "What's that behind you? Take it out!"

Xu Qing's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she subconsciously took a step back. "No—nothing! Don't talk nonsense, there's nothing there."

"You're lying to me, aren't you? Hmph!" Shen Yuyan sneered, rushed forward, pounced on her on the bed, and reached out to snatch the thing she was hiding behind her back.

"No, no!" Xu Qing shook her head and struggled.

(>_<).

However, in the end, she couldn't resist her best friend's tickling offensive, and what was behind her was pulled out.

Shen Yuyan stared at the gag in Xu Qing's hand, her mouth opening wider and wider.

Xu Qing screamed, snatched the toy, and in a panic stuffed it into her pants. "You've misunderstood!"

()/

Then, she shifted her body, as if trying to cover something.

Shen Yuyan suddenly reached out and pulled off her blanket.

A whole set of toys, including a small whip, a leash, and a collar, appeared on the bed.

It has a fine texture and is also patterned, making it look very beautiful.

Shen Yuyan's eyebrows twitched, and she said incredulously, "Qing Qing, are you... you're going to get involved in this industry? Does Tang Song know?"

Xu Qing quickly lay down on the bed and loudly explained, "It's not what you think! That brat Xiao Jing bought it for me, and it was mailed directly to our house. I only signed for it tonight, and I just opened it!"

As she spoke, she angrily wrapped the toy in the blanket and stuffed it into the cupboard.

"It's all because of that pervert Xiao Jing, she's teasing me on purpose!"

"Yan Yan, you have to believe me, I'm not interested in these things at all!"

"That despicable, perverted Xiao Jing! I'm going to buy her some really weird toys and mail them to her company as revenge!"

Shen Yuyan looked at her best friend and suddenly stepped forward, saying, "Qing Qing."

"What are you doing? I'm not lying to you, I can show you the chat history." Xu Qing shrank back.

Shen Yuyan took her Mobile Phone and looked at their chat history.

A sense of crisis suddenly struck.

She wasn't as naive as Xu Qing. Judging from Xiao Jing's behavior, it seemed she wanted to win Xu Qing over and was deliberately trying to build a good relationship with her, even calling her "best friend."

Knowing Qing Qing's cunning, Xiao Jing will surely succeed soon.

Shen Yuyan's eyes flickered, and she said, "Qing Qing, have you noticed that even Xiao Jing, who seems a bit clumsy, can completely outsmart you?"

"I didn't!" Xu Qing retorted stubbornly, but couldn't find a suitable reason for the moment.

Shen Yuyan into her eyes and said seriously, "Let me tell you, there's no one simple in Tang Song's team, except for you, of course. That's why you're repeatedly manipulated."

"Damn it! Why are you saying that about me! I'm not simple either, you know!" Xu Qing said angrily, grabbing her best friend's big bear.

"What are you doing! Let go!"

The two wrestled on the bed for a while until Shen Yuyan stopped, panting, and said in a gentle but serious tone, "I have a plan that can help you turn the tide of the battle."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing pretended not to care, but her eyes involuntarily drifted over.

(0_o)??

After a moment, she couldn't help but ask, "What plan?"

Shen Yuyan close to her ear and Whisper, "Bring in outside help."

"Who?"

"Me?" Shen Yuyan chuckled and kissed her on the cheek.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing seemed to recall a scene, and her face gradually became hot.

Although I felt my best friend was joking, it actually worked surprisingly well!

If Yan Yan joins in, then they will truly be "Xu Yanqing"!

He punched Liu Ruyan, kicked Bai Jing, and suppressed Xu Jiali.

Unrivaled in the world, the ultimate female protagonist in online novels!

Magic City, Hai'an Tianke Yuan.

Dinner is over.

The three of them went downstairs and walked along the bustling street to the Huangpu River.

They chatted as they took a walk.

On the shimmering Huangpu River, cruise ships slowly glide by, while in the distance, the brightly lit skyscrapers of Lujiazui are reflected on the water, creating a dazzling picture.

Tang Song stopped in front of a viewing platform, took out his Mobile Phone and started taking pictures.

Standing not far behind, Zhang Nuo nudged Sun Jiayue and suddenly whispered, "Yueyue, do you think Tang Song is a good match?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"LP! Haven't you been struggling to find the right person?" Zhang Nuo lowered his voice, his tone tinged with excitement. "I just heard him talk about his financial knowledge and his experience at major Internet Plus companies. He's a perfect fit for your needs."

Upon hearing this, Sun Jiayue paused for a moment, then subconsciously turned her gaze to Tang Song.

His appearance, speech, and overall demeanor are impeccable.

Especially when discussing her work, he demonstrated a level of understanding of the financial industry that far exceeded the comprehension of the average person.

The background of a large factory in the Imperial Capital before the Tang Song perfectly fits the image of a "New Tech Talent".

If he could masquerade as a successful entrepreneur from Yancheng and come to Magic City to seek investment opportunities, it would undoubtedly be of great benefit to her fundraising plan.

This is simply the perfect candidate.

She suddenly remembered Liu Qingning's recommendation before, and it seemed that the other party was not joking.

Her heart began to race. She bit her lip, took a few steps forward, and tentatively asked, "Tang Song, when do you plan to leave Magic City?"

Tang Song casually replied, "I'm not entirely sure, but it will definitely be after the 8th."

"After the 8th?" Sun Jiayue's eyes lit up, and her tone became serious. "I have something I'd like to ask you for help with. I don't know if you'd be willing."

"What is it? Tell me, and I'll definitely help if I can." Tang Song put away his relaxed expression and looked at her intently.

Sun Jiayue carefully chose her words, trying to use the most sincere tone, and said, "As you should know, I currently work as a fundraising specialist at a private equity fund company. There are strict fundraising performance requirements every year, but because of the poor economic environment, it's very difficult to expand our high-net-worth client base. So I hope you can do me a favor."

"Oh?" Tang Song raised an eyebrow, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. "You want me to be your wife?"

"Well—" Sun Jiayue blinked and nodded somewhat shyly, "You could say that."

Zhang Nuo added from the side, "Yes, Tang Song, you are the most suitable candidate."

Tang Song crossed his arms, smiled thoughtfully, and said, "How about this, send me your company's fund product introduction later. If there are no major problems, I'll seriously consider it."

It has to be said that Sun Jiayue and Zhang Nuo, being from the finance industry, have a truly sharp eye!

Despite his attempts to keep a low profile, they still noticed something amiss.

Sure enough, with his charm rating approaching 80, he has reached a point where he can no longer be ignored.

Hearing his words.

Sun Jiayue and Zhang Nuo exchanged a glance and burst out laughing at the same time.

Tang Song was stunned for a moment, not quite able to react.

Sun Jiayue couldn't help but step forward and pat his shoulder. "I'm telling you, although you look much more mature and composed now, you're still as humorous as you were in high school."

Zhang Nuo stuck out her tongue and whispered, "That's not what we meant. Yueyue Company does private equity, which is different from the Alipay. The minimum subscription amount is one million yuan."

Tang Song's eye twitched, and he Mo Mo withdrew his praise for them.

Next, Sun Jiayue explained her plan.

Upon hearing that he was to impersonate a "New Tech Talent" and an "investor," Tang Song's expression grew increasingly strange.

Isn't this his true identity?

For someone of his current status to do these things would really be beneath him.

I was just about to politely decline.

Then I heard a familiar name.

"Investor Night: Leading the Future with Intelligence?"

Sun Jiayue nodded and said, "Yes, this is the largest Financial Circle event in Magic City recently. I only managed to get an invitation through company channels after a lot of trouble."

Tang Song raised his eyebrows slightly.

What a coincidence.

One of the important parts of his trip to Magic City was to participate in this event.

In fact, he had already received an invitation, and it was in the name of Rongliu Capital.

At the meeting, I met with Yimai Technology and participated in their Series B+ financing.

But upon closer reflection, it makes sense.

Such large-scale investment activities are complex to organize, involve numerous participants, and often bring together professionals from related fields.

It's not surprising that Sun Jiayue and Zhang Nuo, both professionals in Magic City, got involved.

Tang Song fell silent, seemingly hesitant.

Sun Jiayue pursed her lips. "You don't need to worry too much. This kind of activity isn't as exaggerated as you think."

You just need to cooperate with me to understand. At the same time, I hope you'll come with me to see the real high-end circles; perhaps you'll discover something different.

She paused, then added, "Actually, Qing Ning probably hopes you'll change. She suggested I invite you to come along."

Although Tang Song has changed a lot since this meeting, he is still a programmer after all.

She thought Tang Song was afraid of appearing incompetent at such an event.

Upon hearing the name of White Moonlight, Tang Song's self-esteem softened considerably.

He looked at Sun Jiayue in front of him and Wei Xiao, "Okay, sure."

Anyway, he's definitely going, whether he goes alone or with Sun Jiayue, it doesn't make a difference.

It's also a good opportunity to satisfy the Wicked Fun of the White Moonlight" (her ex-girlfriend) and teach her former best friend a lesson.

At 9 p. m., Tang Song said goodbye to Sun Jiayue and returned to the JW Marriott Hotel.

The room was brightly lit, and luggage was neatly arranged in the corner.

Since I've decided to move in with Annie Kate, I'll naturally bring all my things with me.

Thinking about the life he was about to live with the Tall Mare, a faint smile crept onto his lips.

Communicating with Annie is always full of new surprises.

Her flamboyance and directness, unlike that of Huaxia people, made people feel both relaxed and excited.

Of course, and most importantly, Annie has a top-notch figure, and being in close contact with such a beauty every day is truly a pleasure.

After tidying up the clothes and other daily necessities, Tang Song hesitated for a moment before opening the safe.

I carefully stuffed the important items into my backpack and carried them with me.

Immediately afterwards, we took a private car arranged by the hotel and headed straight to Suhe Bay Overseas Chinese Town.

After getting out of the car, Tang Song took out the Access Card that Annie had given him and swiped it to enter the residential area.

After wandering around for a while, we arrived at the villa.

Enter the password, pull open the heavy armored door, and a faint fragrance wafts out.

As soon as I stepped into the living room, a tall and graceful figure came into view.

She sat on the sofa, wearing a white shirt with a slit pencil skirt, a striped casual blazer, and black pointed high heels. Nude stockings outlined her long, straight legs.

Her makeup was understated yet sophisticated, radiating the elegance and charm unique to mature women.

"Mr. Tang, it's been a long time." Mo Xiangwan stood up gracefully, a perfectly timed Wei Xiao on her face, her gaze fixed on Tang Song.

Tang Song paused slightly, then her expression brightened with surprise. "Xiang Wan, what are you doing here?"

Mo Xiangwan blinked her bright and deep eyes. "Miss Kate was bragging to me that you were coming to stay at her house. I happened to need to see Mr. Tang, so I took the liberty of coming over. I hope I didn't disturb you?"

Under her gaze, Tang Song's eyes twitched, and he felt a little guilty.

"Of course not. I'm going to visit the Mo Du Film and Television Base tomorrow, and I have a lot of details I'd like to discuss with you."

Mo Xiangwan nodded, her tone serious. "There are many people and a lot of gossip on set, so there are indeed many things to be careful about. I'm not comfortable entrusting this to others, so I'll just take full responsibility myself. I'll personally accompany Mr. Tang to visit the set tomorrow."

"Thank you, you've worked hard."

"Of course, after all, Su Yu and I have been waiting for this day for a very long time." Mo Xiangwan said with a lot of emotion, her gaze falling on the suitcase in Tang Song's hand, and the corners of her lips slightly raised, "In order to ensure that nothing unexpected happens, I will also stay at Miss Kate's place tonight. Mr. Mr. Tang doesn't mind, does he?"

Tang Song seemed oblivious to her underlying meaning and sincerely replied, "Of course I don't mind. The three of us would be even better. Actually, I miss you quite a bit too."
