The Last Pride (Revised)

October 8, 2023, Sunday, cloudy, high temperature 23°C.

8 o'clock in the morning.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, gently falling on my face.

Shen Yuyan slowly opened her eyes, her gaze still carrying a trace of lingering confusion and weariness.

Last night, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

It contains despair over the collapse of Youjie Home Services, resentment towards enemies, and a strange stirring of emotions towards the Tang Song.

A variety of emotions intertwined and collided within her, like a surging undercurrent.

I got up and stood by the window, looking down at the bustling traffic of Magic City in the early morning.

Sunlight streamed through the glass, casting a soft silhouette on her slender waist and long legs.

After spacing out for a while, she turned around and went to the sink, where she slowly and deliberately applied light makeup.

I deliberately applied Moist Peach Lip Glaze to create a lazy, "just woke up" vibe.

Back in bed, I picked up my Mobile Phone, opened the front camera, and carefully adjusted the angle and expression.

Slightly messy hair and a slightly dreamy gaze perfectly present an unintentional sexiness and Pure Desire.

"Click—" A cleverly designed selfie was born.

She shared the photo with Tang Song and then left a comment: "(*"))) Good morning~ Mr. Tang, a new day has begun!"

Shen Yuyan: "By the way, if there's anything I need you to do, just let me know. I can't wait to show my skills to Mr. Tang."

(#laughing while covering mouth)

After sending the message, Shen Yuyan's smile quickly faded, and she returned to silence.

Return to the main interface.

Just as I was about to send a message to my best friend Qing Qing, I saw that there was a lively discussion in our high school classmates' group chat.

Shen Yuyan hesitated for a moment, but still clicked on it.

The first thing you see is a chorus of flattery.

[General Xie]

"Thank you for the red envelope, Yingying! Love you!"

"You didn't notice, did you? Yingying's watch is Van Cleef & Arpels Charms Series, it costs 100,000 yuan! She's definitely a successful person!"

2

Shen Yuyan frowned and flipped through the records, her gaze slightly narrowed.

Early in the morning, Ji Yingying shared a photo in the group chat.

It was an interview with her by the magazine "Investment Community," which described her professional experience and achievements, portraying her as a young and promising modern urban woman and professional elite.

This drew praise from the students.

Not only that, she also sent out a large number of red envelopes, with each person receiving an average of over one hundred yuan.

In the group chat history, quite a few people tagged her to claim red envelopes, and they were mostly girls.

Although she rarely checks group chats lately and has set it to Do Not Disturb, the occasional messages she glimpses still make her realize that her former rival has now left her far behind.

A 26-year-old head of the Investor Relations Department at a listed company earns a million-dollar annual salary and has a promising future.

She is indeed very successful.

Looking at that radiant face in the magazine, Shen Yuyan couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy.

Since junior high school, she has always been the most dazzling girl, surpassing one outstanding peer after another with her appearance, intelligence, and emotional intelligence.

However, now, Ji Yingying, Bai Menglin, and others have all stepped ahead of her.

And what about her? Starting a business is difficult, capital is rife with competition, and even her dignity is gradually crushed by reality.

"Buzz buzz buzz—" A message popped up.

Tang Song: "There's nothing for you to do. Just prepare well for tonight's activities. I look forward to your performance."

Shen Yuyan clenched her fists tightly, a complex emotion welling up inside her.

She really couldn't understand the Tang Song anymore.

She originally thought that given her status as a former school beauty and her relationship with Xu Qing as her best friend, he should at least have some special feelings for her.

But in reality, his attitude towards her was always indifferent, as if he had never truly fallen for her.

But he was willing to give her opportunities and take her to high-end banquets.

However, tonight is her chance to turn things around.

Only by making a deep impression on Tang Song at the Investor Night can one gain his recognition and appreciation.

He reversed his previous image as a humble, wolf-fox.

Subconsciously, Shen Yuyan still fantasized about receiving Tang Song's help on an equal footing.

She took a deep breath, her eyes gleaming, and dialed her friend Qiu Sirou's number.

"Hey, Sirou, are you back in Magic City?"

P&G & Gamble employees enjoy excellent benefits, including numerous paid annual leave, sick leave, and flexible leave in addition to statutory holidays.

Taking advantage of the National Day holiday, Qiu Sirou took two more days off, Saturday and Sunday, to give herself a long vacation. She went on a road trip with her boyfriend a couple of days ago.

"I'm packing my things, I'll be back soon, probably arriving in Magic City around noon. What's up, Yuyan? Is something the matter?"

Shen Yuyan pursed her lips, carefully choosing her words, and said, "I have a very important business event to attend tonight, and I forgot to bring any accessories. Could I borrow your handbag and watch?"

"Sure! No problem," Qiu Sirou readily agreed. "I'll send it over this afternoon."

"No need, no need, I'll come find you."

"It's alright, I was just going to the company to pick up some documents, it's on my way. Besides, I brought you some gifts on my trip, I was planning to visit you anyway."

"Okay, thank you, Sirou."

"Alright, sister, stop being so polite with me! Wait for my call, bye~~"

"Bye-Bye."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yuyan a sigh of relief.

Although she is the General Manager of a startup company, she doesn't have much savings.

The company has been expanding but has never distributed dividends or cashed out its shares. It has only saved a little over 400,000 yuan from salaries alone.

And most of it was given to Xu Qing.

The most expensive accessory she wore was a pair of Van Cleef & Arpels White Mother-of-Pearl Butterfly Earrings, a gift from a suitor.

The most expensive piece of clothing I've ever bought was a Celine business suit I purchased after Youjie Home Services launched its financing plan; it cost over 20,000 yuan.

She brought it along specifically to make an appearance.

This was already enough, but when she thought of Ji Yingying Lin Mu Xue, she couldn't help but want even more.

Especially Lin Mu Xue, whom her best friend called "the Innate Pretender Holy Body".

Sooner or later, she'll have her pinned down!

"Ding-dong—" WeChat notification sound rang out.

Tang Song picked up his Mobile Phone and glanced at it, raising his eyebrows slightly.

[Shen Yuyan: "If I perform well, will there be any reward?"]

After thinking for a moment, she replied with a smile, "Of course."

After sending the message, he shook his head with a smile, marveling at the other person's little trick.

It has to be said that once School Beauty Shen goes all out, she has a whole repertoire of seductive tricks.

After chatting with her for a few minutes...

Tang Song turned his attention back to the computer screen.

With the resurgence of He Yiyi's popularity, Songmei Clothing is now extremely busy.

As the president, and with his own Growth Plan Task, he naturally couldn't afford to slack off.

You still have to do your job.

During this period, his WeChat messages never stopped.

Most of them were sent by the Wings.

In fact, his WeChat was quite active during his time away from Yancheng.

Qianqian, Xiao Xue, Ling Ling send him photos and messages almost every day.

Every two days, when Xiao Jing's cravings kicked in, she would video chat with him.

As for the older sister, she flirts with him every day.

"Buzzing—"

Wen Ruan: "You're not here with me, how can you help me stop the itch? You might as well use my Fascia Gun. (#hehehe)"

Tang Song: "Don't use the Fascia Gun too hard, or I'm afraid your legs will give way and you won't be able to walk."

Wen Ruan: "Hehe, I'm not that bad. But you, your Tall Mare riding skills are pretty good, right? I reckon when you get back to Yancheng..."

"I'm about to enter a period of deep meditation. Don't forget to give your sister a set of Spellcasting Tools then, or else... I'll treat you to noodles!"

Upon seeing this message, Tang Song's expression became somewhat unnatural.

Although I didn't ride a horse last night, I did do some really inappropriate things to the Tall Mare.

She's still angry and hasn't shown up yet.

However, thinking of Annie's moist and delicate face last night, Tang Song felt a surge of anger.

He left a message for the older sister. "Zhuangzhuang, I want to see a big, white Ragdoll cat."

[Wen Ruan: "Call me 'older sister'!"]

Tang Song: "Sister."

[Wen Ruan: photo. jpg]

Tang Song clicked on it, took a look, and was greatly disappointed. He quickly typed, "This cat isn't white enough! I want to see a whiter one!"

[Wen Ruan: "I'm in a meeting right now, listening to the employees present their PowerPoint slides. What are you trying to do?"]

I chatted with the older sister for a few more flirty remarks.

Tang Song opened the photo again, admiring the older sister's peach-shaped buttocks.

To be fair, it's just as good as Annie's; both are supported by the gluteus maximus and are very bouncy.

Unlike them, junior schoolmate Ling Ling is a typical example of someone with exceptionally large breasts. She has a wider pelvis and more fat, resulting in a naturally sagging, rounded, and full figure – the epitome of "large breasts".

As I thought about it, I couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

The image of Annie kneeling before him last night flashed before his eyes again, and his breathing became rapid.

To put it bluntly, it's just that I haven't eaten meat in too long.

Especially when he's surrounded by such a beauty as Annie every day, he can't help himself.

"Ring ring—" The Mobile Phone started vibrating.

Tang Song quickly snapped out of his daze and glanced at the screen.

[Vivian (Zhang Weiran)]

The call connected. "Hello, Vivian."

1

A spirited voice came from the other end of the line: "Good afternoon, Mr. Tang! Shirley's identification tag is ready. Would you like it delivered to you now?"

Tang Song checked the time; it was almost noon.

"Thank you for your trouble. Since you're here, I'll send you my location so we can have a meal together and discuss our upcoming itinerary."

"Okay, got it!"

After hanging up the phone, Tang Song smiled slightly.

Now, it's up to the school beauty to choose; I'm really looking forward to it.

3 p. m.

Ji Hotel.

"Yuyan, why did you suddenly move here? Weren't you at the Grand Hyatt Shanghai?"

"It saves me some money, and I'm used to staying at Ji Hotel, it's quite comfortable. I'm even Platinum Member at Huazhu, haha." Shen Yuyan in a relaxed tone, with a hint of teasing.

"Wait, that's not right. Wasn't your catering arranged by Director Wang? When you go to events, you're just accompanying him, so you don't have to pay for anything."

Shen Yuyan's expression froze for a moment, then she said calmly, "There have been some changes on their end, so I'm going there with some other friends."

"Who is it? Do I know them?"

"I'm a college classmate you probably don't know."

The two were talking when they pushed open the door and entered the room.

Qiu Sirou opened her tote bag, took out her handbag and watch, and handed them to her, "Here, the gear you wanted. Take good care of it; it's my store's pride."

As a member of P&G's Marketing Department, Qiu Sirou frequently attends various high-end events, so she naturally has a set of presentable outfits.

The handbag is Chanel W0C (chain wallet), worth over 40,000 yuan.

The watch is Omega Constellation Series, costing over 50,000.

This outfit costs nearly 100,000 yuan, and it's definitely presentable in high-end settings.

Shen Yuyan took it and put her Mobile Phone, lipstick, ID, and other items inside.

He put his wristwatch back on.

After carefully examining herself in the mirror, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"You look so beautiful, Yuyan." Qiu Sirou exclaimed sincerely, her eyes full of envy. "The same accessories look so elegant on you."

Shen Yuyan chuckled and patted her on the shoulder, "Why are you speaking such blunt truths?"

"A beauty like you, and so outstanding too, I really want to know what your future boyfriend will look like," Qiu Sirou teased. "He'll have to be at least the CEO of a listed company, right?"

Upon hearing her words, Shen Yuyan's smile faltered slightly. "I'd like to know too, hehe."

The images of the Tang Song popped into my mind.

In fact, even she herself is unwilling to admit it.

The reason she worked so hard was to make Youjie Home Services a success, so that she could appear in front of Tang Song with a high profile and gain his recognition and respect.

Deep down, he harbored a dark ambition: perhaps one day, she could become his Official Girlfriend.

She doesn't think she's inferior to others; with her skills and abilities, it's not impossible.

However, now that she has chosen to approach him in a less-than-honorable way, the possibility of that happening has become extremely slim.

However, Shen Yuyan has never been afraid of difficulties or challenges.

The only thing that worried and frightened her was whether it would affect her relationship with her best friend.

Shen Yuyan knows her own personality too well. She won't stop here. In the future, as her desires grow, she might even scheme against and take advantage of Qing Qing Qing.

Use the special bond between best friends to bind more love and resources to the Tang Song.

She wanted to elevate and solidify her position, and even gradually become his "Official Girlfriend."

In that case, their feelings would no longer be pure, and they might never be able to go back to the way they were.

Is it painful? Absolutely.

Regret? Impossible!

She will never forget what happened at the Park Hyatt Club yesterday noon: Liu Kaili's mockery, Wang Yubo's humiliation, Ren Mingyuan's indifference—those so-called "high society" people chatted and laughed, while she could only stand in the corner, helplessly watching her dream shatter completely.

She has now effectively become "half-darkened".

She was willing to pay any price to seek revenge and climb the social ladder.

Even if the road is destined to be full of thorns, even if it means hurting her closest best friend, even if it means playing the role of a "bad woman," she will go forward without hesitation.

"By the way, Yuyan, what time are you leaving?"

"Around 4 o'clock, the event starts with check-in at 5 o'clock."

"Oh, then I'll tell my boyfriend to pick me up at 4 o'clock."

As the two chatted, Shen Yuyan sat down at the table, took out her makeup bag, and began to do the final touch-ups.

The waiting time always feels long.

"Ding-dong—" WeChat notification sound rang out.

[Tang Song: "I've arrived at the hotel and am waiting for you in the lobby downstairs. No need to rush, there's still plenty of time."]

Shen Yuyan stood up, picked up her handbag, and said, "Sirou, my friend is here to pick me up. I should leave now."

Qiu Sirou stood up with a smile, "That's perfect, my boyfriend will be here soon, let's get to know each other."

"Okay, let's go." Shen Yuyan had no other thoughts. She quickly tidied her appearance and strode out. "Ding-dong!" The moment the elevator door opened, Shen Yuyan subconsciously straightened her back to make herself more upright and elegant.

"Da da da yi"

Black stilettos clicked on the marble floor, and Chanel chain bag swayed gently with each step.

As she turned the corner, her breath caught in her throat when that familiar figure came into view.

He noticed her unusual behavior.

Qiu Sirou looked over curiously, her gaze sharpened, and a distinct gasp could be heard.

In a corner of the hotel lobby, a tall figure stood quietly, glancing down at his watch.

He was dressed in a dark blue British suit, which accentuated his perfect figure with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.

He is handsome and composed, with a refined and elegant appearance.

His face was expressionless, yet he exuded a Palpitating charm.

The special effect "Success and Fame" has been triggered.

Qiu Sirou's throat bobbed. "Yuyan, the alumnus you mentioned, could it be him?"

"Hmm." Shen Yuyan Wei Xiao and nodded, walking calmly and casually toward Tang Song, seemingly without any particular feeling.

Hearing footsteps, Tang Song looked up and the first thing he saw was the large characters: "Test Subject (Shen Yuyan)".

Next up is the campus belle, now dressed in professional attire.

The black and white color-blocked business suit accentuates her graceful curves, while the deep V-neck design reveals her delicate collarbone and fair cleavage.

Her long hair cascaded down her back, her makeup was exquisite, her eyes and brows radiated confidence, and her lips were brightly colored.

Elegant, refined, sexy, and composed.

She's the epitome of a sophisticated urban woman straight out of an elite workplace drama.

Their eyes met, and Tang Song gently nodded.

At the same time, a striking Bullet Comments comments popped up above Shen Yuyan's head:

[Ahhh! My Sugar Daddy, you're so charming!]

[Shen Yuyan, show some restraint! Do you want to go back and change your clothes?!]

Tang Song glanced at the Bullet Comments, then looked at the elegant and charming School Beauty Shen, and his expression began to falter.

I forced myself not to laugh out loud.

However, the special effect for "Success and Fame" is broken.

The aloof and ascetic aura emanating from him gradually dissipated.

"Tang Song, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Shen Yuyan stood in front of Tang Song, holding a Chanel bag in both hands, her eyes bright and confident.

"It's alright, I just arrived too, and I still have plenty of time." Tang Song's tone was gentle, but his gaze seemed thoughtful.

The reason he came so early was to play a choice game with School Beauty Shen and see which identity she would choose.

Shen Yuyan casually tossed her long hair, letting the strands fall loosely over her chest. "By the way, let me introduce you."

As she spoke, she pointed to Qiu Sirou next to her, "This is my colleague Qiu Sirou, with whom I had a good relationship when I was at P&G. She is now the Channel Manager of P&G's Magic City branch."

"Sirou, this is the friend I told you about, Tang Song."

Tang Song nodded politely. "Hello, Si Rou, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Hello!" Qiu Sirou pursed her lips, her expression slightly shy.

She's quite worldly-wise, having worked in the Marketing Department at P&G, where she's met many celebrities.

But the first impression was indeed stunning, especially Tang Song's aloof temperament, which was so captivating that it was impossible to look away. She had an even stronger presence than their company's leaders.

Looking at Qiu Sirou's expression, Shen Yuyan smiled knowingly.

Bullet Comments: [Heh, stunned, huh? I knew no one could resist his charm.]

The three chatted in the lobby for a while.

Shen Yuyan glanced at the time and asked casually, "Sirou, where's your boyfriend? Hasn't he arrived yet?"

Qiu Sirou, then remembered this matter. "They should have arrived by now. I'll make a call and ask what's going on."

As she spoke, she casually dialed the number.

"Hey, honey, didn't you just say you'd be there in a minute? I've been waiting for you for ages!"

"Okay, stop taking pictures, come in now!"

I hung up the phone.

Soon, a series of hurried footsteps approached.

A young man dressed casually strode in from the direction of the door. "Sirou, I'm here!"

He was in his late twenties, looking clean and sharp, with an undisguised excitement on his face and slightly red eyes.

"Let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend, Wang Shuo."

Qiu Sirou took her boyfriend's arm and gave them a brief introduction.

After exchanging greetings and pleasantries, they were considered acquainted.

Wang Shuo, still beaming with excitement, pulled Qiu Sirou aside and whispered, "The car I saw at the entrance is the same one you saw on the Bund a couple of days ago. It's really not a modified car! It's a purebred SVJ63, only 63 in the world! Lamborghini's masterpiece! I finally saw the real thing with my own eyes!"

"Holy crap! This is absolutely stunning! You have to take a picture of this later!"

Qiu Sirou awkwardly explained to the two of them, "I'm sorry, he's a car enthusiast, the kind who's obsessed. This time, he's been completely captivated by Dreamcar."

Tang Song's expression was slightly strange.

Shen Yuyan smiled gently, her tone soft and composed. "It's about time, let's go."

Qiu Sirou nodded and was pulled by her boyfriend to walk outside.

As soon as I stepped out of the hotel, I saw a matte gray Lamborghini lying in wait like a beast in the roadside parking area.

The car's lines are sharp and elegant, and the eye-catching "63" emblem shines brightly in the sunlight.

Around the car, many people were taking pictures and discussing it.

"It really is the same car we saw on the Bund!" Qiu Sirou smiled at Shen Yuyan. "Magic City really doesn't lack rich tycoons."

Wang Shuo stood directly behind the car and excitedly shouted to Qiu Sirou, "Take a picture of me from this angle, quick, darling!"

"Stay away from the car, or you might accidentally bump into it!" Qiu Sirou rolled her eyes helplessly, took out her Mobile Phone, adjusted the angle, and took a picture.

"Tang Song." Shen Yuyan gently tugged at Tang Song's hand, her eyes filled with anticipation. "Shall we go?"

Tang Song nodded, stepped to the passenger side of the Lamborghini, grasped the hidden door handle, and lightly touched the control area.

With a "click," the car door swung up like wings, instantly attracting the attention of everyone around.

The previously noisy environment suddenly became quiet, and all eyes were fixed on his tall and straight figure.

Qiu Sirou and Wang Shuo stood to the side, their expressions quite interesting.

Tang Song turned around and waved to Shen Yuyan, "Yuyan, get in the car."

Shen Yuyan's chest rose and fell slightly as she bit the inside of her mouth to calm herself down.

She walked gracefully to Tang Song's side. The angle of the butterfly door seemed tailor-made for her, highlighting her long legs and tall figure.

"Let's go, Sirou." Shen Yuyan goodbye to her friend, her fingertips lightly tracing the edge of her bodycon skirt as she gracefully sat down.

The seat offered a very enveloping feel, as if it completely enveloped her.

A billionaire personally opened the door for himself, sitting in a globally limited edition top-of-the-line supercar, surrounded by amazed and envious glances.

Shen Yuyan remained calm and composed, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Above their heads, Bullet Comments floated by:

The worst thing is when the air suddenly goes quiet.

But at least for this moment, I look like a winner.

This is merely a trivial projection of power and wealth.

"Pop!" The butterfly door was gently closed.

The deep, resonant exhaust note cut through the air, and the entire parking lot seemed to hold its breath for a moment.

The tires slowly turned, and the Lamborghini, like a beast awakening, accelerated away from its original position.

In the rearview mirror, the crowd gradually disappeared.

This is just the beginning.

Tang Song couldn't help but chuckle. "What's wrong?" Shen Yuyan's expression froze, and she subconsciously touched her face, thinking that her makeup was caked up.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered a joke."

"What a joke."

Tang Song shook his head, "It wouldn't be funny if I told you."

After driving along Haining Road for a while, Tang Song suddenly turned a corner and parked the car in a quiet alley.

Shen Yuyan in surprise, "Why did it suddenly stop?"

"Let's play a choice game." Tang Song unbuckled his seatbelt and turned to look at her.

Shen Yuyan the agreement, her legs together, her face slightly flushed, "I'll listen to you."

[Choosing a game? Is he about to launch an attack?]

Tang Song took out two exquisite nameplates from the inside pocket of his suit and held them in his palms.

"Since you're going to accompany me to ' Investor Night,' you naturally need to have the corresponding status. I'll give you two options now."

Y

Shen Yuyan up straight instantly, her eyes shining brightly, and said, "So that's what you mean. Okay, it doesn't really matter, as long as I can participate with you."

Tang Song smiled slightly, looked into her eyes, and said, "I have to choose one. The first is my company's temporary ' Special Advisor,' who will accompany me and provide me with some unique perspectives outside the industry; the second is you, as my ' Special Assistant,' to help me with the social interactions and networking at the banquet."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuyan was stunned, a wave of emotion washing over her.

These two options seem simple, but they contain hidden meanings. "Special Advisor" implies a more equal and collaborative relationship with Tang Song, granting her an independent social standing, greater prestige, and higher respect. The downside is that it would create a greater "distance" between her Tang Song.

The title "Special Assistant" implies a subordinate position, dependent on Tang Song, but also represents her status as "one of their own." When Tang Song socializes with others, she will be there as his assistant, helping him collect business cards and connect with more people.

The Bullet Comments above continued to float:

Choosing a consultant might make me seem independent, but could it make him feel like I'm not close enough?

Is choosing an assistant too low-status? They won't be able to chat and laugh with him.

Shen Yuyan the light flashing violently, her mind racing.

Her gaze lingered between the two nameplates in Tang Song's hand, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the chain of the Chanel bag.

She couldn't see the information above, nor did she know which company Tang Song was referring to.

However, after learning that Tang Song was a major shareholder of Lanfeng International Hotel, she had looked up relevant company information online.

It is known that he owns companies such as Songmei Clothing, Lanfeng International, and Bocai Yingrui.

Besides that, there's "Juqing Huijin," for which no information can be found.

If Tang Song is participating on behalf of a company and wants to obtain a VIP invitation, the most likely option is Yi Yi Juqing Huijin.

She was extremely impressed with the company because Lin Mu Xue was the committee's assistant.

This is an overseas Trust Company that collaborates with many well-known enterprises and manages over US$150 million in funds.

If someone is a "Special Advisor" of Juqing Huijin, then they are definitely considered to have high status.

Even when facing Wang Yubo and Ren Mingyuan, she can handle the situation calmly and showcase her abilities.

However, if Tang Song were to participate as his special assistant, he might be ridiculed by Wang Yubo, since the condition he had given himself was to become his assistant.

Of course, these are just "temporary identities," and ultimately it depends on one's own performance.

Inside the quiet carriage, only slightly rapid breathing could be heard.

She was torn between her inner and outer struggles.

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

It's an unfamiliar local Magic City number.

This is a good opportunity to organize my thoughts.

She pursed her lips and gave Tang Song a faint Wei Xiao. "Excuse me, I need to take this call."

After speaking, she casually answered the call, gently bringing the Mobile Phone to her ear, her tone polite yet distant. "Hello, who is this?"

Immediately afterward, a familiar, deep voice came through the receiver, carrying an undeniable sense of pressure. "There's less than an hour until the event starts. This is your only chance. If you miss it, you should know the consequences, right, Assistant Shen?"

Wang Yubo's voice coiled around her ear like a venomous snake, making her blood rush to her head.

Shen Yuyan, "It's a sales call, that's all."

Although she tried to maintain a calm expression, her mind was in complete turmoil.

After returning to the hotel last night, Wang Yubo called her, but she promptly blocked him after only a few words.

Unexpectedly, the other party was still thinking about her, and his tone revealed a sense of control and certainty, as if he had already decided that she would give in.

The Bullet Comments started turning red:

He thinks I'd crawl back to him like a dog and beg? Ha!

[Wang Yubo, you just wait, your nightmare has only just begun!]

One day, I will stand on a tall building and look down on you! I will repay your humiliation a hundredfold!

Her nails dug deep into her palms, the pain keeping her expression a perfect Wei Xiao.

[Stay calm! You absolutely cannot lose your composure in front of Tang Song! You must leave him with the best impression!]

Tang Song did not urge her, but simply watched her Jingjing, as if admiring her beauty.

Shen Yuyan raised her head and gently tapped Tang Song's left hand.

"I chose ' Special Advisor.' I've always dreamed of fighting alongside my Male God, and this would be a dream come true."

Her voice carried a deliberate composure and consideration, as if this choice was entirely due to Tang Song.

"Are you sure? I'm asking you one last time." Tang Song placed his hands in front of her.

Shen Yuyan's pupils trembled.

What does he mean? Which one does he want me to choose?!

No! I can't hesitate for too long. He'll see through my ulterior motives and think I'm too calculating.

The inner turmoil surged like a tidal wave, but she tried her best to appear calm and composed.

Finally, she took a deep breath and grasped Tang Song's left hand. "Of course, my thoughts are very simple. I just want to be with you. Actually, it doesn't matter which one I choose. But if I choose the assistant, I'm afraid Xiao Xue will be angry with me when she finds out."

Shen Yuyan covered her mouth and chuckled, "After all, we're very close sisters."

Bullet Comments: [Plastic Sisters]

Tang Song gave her a deep look, then released his grip.

He witnessed Shen Yuyan's emotional journey throughout the entire process and was deeply moved.

I also understood the true meaning of the second act of the dungeon.

Dilemmas and choices, ambition and self-respect, pride and inferiority, desire and regret.

School Beauty Shen, is a very typical person. No wonder [Whispers of Human Nature] chose her.

I wonder what her expression will be when she finds out the "truth" later?

"Okay, congratulations, Consultant Shen. I hope you can give me some 'unique perspectives' tonight."

"Thank you, Tang Song. I won't let you down."

Shen Yuyan finally saw her own identity plaque.

Made of silver metallic material, it boasts an outstanding texture and exquisite craftsmanship.

Standard bilingual symmetrical layout.

The left side is in English, and the right side is in Chinese.

Name: SHIRLEY (Shen Yuyan)

Position: SPECIAL ADVISOR, ConfIuentCapita | (Rongliu Capital Special Advisor)

Company logo: Confluent Rongliu Capital

Industry tag: Cross-border Cross-border Capital

At the very top center is the company's logo, which uses the infinity symbol (∞) as its core design element and incorporates abstract, flowing lines, resulting in a modern, simple, and technological aesthetic.

This was an investment company she had never heard of before.

It's probably an overseas investment company similar to Juqing Huijin, and it's very likely also a company related to the Tang Song, but its prestige is undeniable.

Looking at the identity plaque, Shen Yuyan's face flushed with excitement.

All I could hear were "bang, bang" sounds.

It was an inexplicable sixth sense; it was as if I had touched something I had always longed for.

[Shirey... Special Advisor - Cross-border Capital]

Will he think I'm too calculating?

But this is my last bit of pride.

"Now, pin it to your left chest. Do you need my help?" Tang Song's tone carried a hint of teasing.

Shen Yuyan covered her mouth and chuckled, responding in a lighthearted, joking tone, "Sure, if Mr. Tang is willing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Song smiled and reached out to take the nameplate from her hand.

The soft click Yi Yi the metal buckle popping open was particularly clear inside the enclosed carriage.

His movements were natural and casual, yet they made Shen Yuyan's heart tighten.

Tang Song actually reached out and touched her chest.

Through the soft fabric of her clothes, warm fingertips inadvertently touched her skin.

Shen Yuyan's heart skipped a beat.

An unprecedented tingling sensation spread from my chest throughout my body.

She looked at Tang Song with a smile, "Thank you Mr. Tang, for your trouble."

[Calm down! Shen Yuyan! Why are your legs shaking?!]

He did it on purpose—he must have done it on purpose.

Was his sudden closeness a test of me?
