Annie: Oh! God!

21:30.

Hesheng Xiaoyun Road No. 8, Imperial Capital.

Outside the window, the city lights shone brightly, but the hustle and bustle of the city was shut out by the heavy floor-to-ceiling windows.

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

Then, the door was gently opened.

Shangguan Qiuya stepped into the gym and stood quietly to one side.

The air was filled with a faint scent of sweat mixed with fragrance.

Secretary Jin wore a fitted black short tracksuit, made of a light and breathable material that perfectly accentuated her golden ratio figure.

Her long brown hair was tied into a neat ponytail, swaying slightly with her movements.

Her legs are long and straight, her hips are rounded and firm, and her back is smooth and beautiful, like an unfolding scroll of art.

Sweat slid down her fair and tender neck, glistening under the light.

It makes people hold their breath and stare.

Shangguan Qiuya couldn't help but take a few more glances, once again marveling at Director Jin's beauty.

Just watching her sweat is a pleasure.

A few minutes later.

Secretary Jin pressed the pause button, got off the treadmill, and casually picked up a towel to wipe the fine beads of sweat from her forehead.

"Speak, what is it?"

Shangguan Qiuya quickly stood up straight, her tone calm and respectful. "Mr. Tang attended the ' Investor Night: Smart Sharing Future ' gala in Magic City tonight on time, and his behavior was rather high-profile."

As she spoke, she opened her tablet and clicked to project the screen.

A photo then appeared on the large screen in the gym.

In the video, a red carpet is laid out and spotlights are flashing.

Tang Song, dressed in a well-tailored formal suit, stood side by side with Annie Kate, followed by executives from Jingwu Capital and Rongliu Capital.

"Continue," Secretary Jin said in a low, cool voice.

Shangguan Qiuya slid her finger across the screen.

One photo after another appeared on the big screen at a steady pace.

The final frame is a shot of the main venue.

He stood in the spotlight, exuding Yi Yi familiar aura—calm, composed, and impeccable.

Looking at Tang Song's figure in the photo, Secretary Jin's gaze was slightly unfocused, her red lips were tightly pursed, and a complex emotion flashed between her brows.

Shangguan Qiuya stood behind her, looking at "Mr. Tang" in the photo with a look of reverence.

I saw the shadow of the past in him once again.

Moreover, he was even more handsome and dashing at this time, seemingly flawless.

As a personal assistant, she served Director Jin for the longest time among all his assistants.

He was also the non-core staff member who had the most contact with this "Mr. Tang".

My impression of him is that he is like an "observer," always maintaining a calm, restrained, and composed attitude, and almost never showing anger, excitement, or vulnerability.

Every word and action he makes is carefully considered, solely for the purpose of achieving his goal.

Reason, divinity, and an unsolvable problem.

He always exudes an unparalleled charm, attracting many top talents to surround him, and is a pillar of strength in everyone's hearts.

It has been almost a year since Mr. Tang left the Imperial Capital and began living apart from Director Jin.

Does Mr. Tang's decision to attend a large-scale meeting and make a high-profile appearance mean that he is about to personally take the stage?

When Tang Jin Family Office, Smiling Holdings, Tang Yi Precision, Jingwu Capital, Qingning Technology, Guyu Biology, Yunxi Real Estate, Meigou Technology, and Tang Zong Entertainment are truly integrated and developed synergistically, they will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the entire world.

In fact, in Shangguan Qiuya's view, Mr. Tang has now become a top-tier Chaebol that cannot be ignored.

What's even more shocking is that he's only two months shy of 26 years old.

Such an achievement is unprecedented.

If Mr. Tang weren't like this, how could he possibly "conquer" a woman like Director Jin?

After a long while, Secretary Jin said, "Print out this photo and put it in my bedroom."

"Okay, received!" Shangguan Qiuya nodded and continued, "Besides Ms. Kate, Mr. Tang also had another close female colleague attending this event, who was attending as Mr. Tang's Special Assistant."

"Oh?" Secretary Jin raised her long, elegant eyebrows slightly as she looked at a figure standing behind Tang Song.

She has a fresh and delicate appearance, and a graceful and sexy figure.

"Her name is Shen Yuyan. She and Mr. Tang college classmates. After graduation, she worked at P&G and later co-founded Youjie Home Services," Shangguan Qiuya whispered, explaining Shen Yuyan's information. She added, "I have compiled her detailed information into a document and sent it to your email."

Secretary Jin hummed in agreement and asked, "What is Mr. Tang's main purpose in attending this party?"

"Based on the information we have so far, it's to contact a growth-stage company called Yimai Technology. This company was among the companies Mr. Tang asked us to research in his recent Email. It's a technology company focused on AI and the intelligent upgrading of the apparel industry. Mr. Tang's contact with them is likely related to Songmei Clothing."

"Songmei Clothing," Secretary Jin murmured to herself.

Shangguan Qiuya spoke up at the opportune moment, "Yes, Mr. Tang's core focus is still on Songmei Clothing. And judging from the name, this company is definitely related to you, Director Jin."

Upon hearing this, Secretary Jin's lips curled into a faint smile.

Seeing that her boss's mood had improved, Shangguan Qiuya quickly said, "Moreover, although Mr. Tang visited Miss Su Yu on set, he has been staying at Ms. Kate's house, which shows that he cares about your opinion."

In recent days, Director Jin has been in a very bad mood.

Su Yu posted the photos in the group, which was truly a direct attack on Su Yu's face.

Fortunately, Mr. Tang brought Annie Kate in again. This close friend of Director Jin will naturally "supervise" Mr. Tang.

Otherwise, Director Jin might have actually gone to Magic City in person.

You know, the last time he got the matching outfits, Director Jin "bragged" about it in front of Liu Qingning and Su Yu.

This shows that the boss still cares about these things.

Secretary Jin did not answer immediately, but said, "Give me your Mobile Phone."

Shangguan Qiuya quickly took out her Mobile Phone and handed it over.

Secretary Jin casually took the phone and dialed a number.

Annie Kate's slightly languid voice came from the other end. "Dear Mira, why are you calling all of a sudden?"

Secretary Jin's tone was calm yet affectionate. "Annie, your vacation is over. When are you coming to the Imperial Capital?"

"Oh, this is the first time I've heard you care about me so much. Do you miss me? Or are you worried that I'll affect Song?"

"You should know that I still need your help with many things."

"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible." Annie: "But—there's something I feel I need to tell you in advance."

"What's up?"

"At the banquet tonight, I made a funny bet with Song, but I lost. I'm worried he'll use this opportunity to do something bad to me. But who knows?"

"A bet? What do you want to do?"

"Don't be nervous, Mira. I swear, I won't do anything too outrageous to him."

Secretary Jin frowned slightly, her tone turning icy. "Don't use what you've learned in the industry on him, or you'll regret it, little Annie from Manhattan."

"Oh my God!" Annie became agitated. "You should believe me, I didn't do anything."

"I don't want to hear your explanations. I'm just reminding you that all the glory you have now is given to you by him and me. If you dare to do anything to hurt him, you know the consequences yourself."

After saying that, Secretary Jin hung up the phone immediately.

"Is there anything else?"

Shangguan Qiuya hesitated for a moment before saying, "During my investigation, I unexpectedly discovered that Mr. Tang's initial contact with Yimai Technology was initiated through Jiang You Rong."

"Jiang You Rong?"

"Yes, she was a member of your previous Assistant Team. She left to pursue her doctorate in the first half of 2017 and became an associate professor at Yan City Normal University after graduation. She met Mr. Mr. Tang through Xie Shuyu at Glimmer Coffee and had been intentionally trying to get to know Mr. Tang, contacting Liu Jiayi multiple times."

"It's Assistant Jiang," Secretary Jin Pondered for a moment, raising her eyebrows slightly. "Send me her information tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Shangguan Qiuya quickly wrote down the instructions, then took her leave. "If there are no other instructions, I'll go and take care of these matters."

Secretary Jin waved her hand, indicating that she could leave.

After the door closed again, she walked to the window and looked south.

His eyes were as clear as water, yet they concealed unfathomable emotions.

Night fell.

The dark chestnut Rolls-Royce slowly drove out of the parking lot, its tires silently rolling over the smooth asphalt.

Inside the quiet carriage.

Shen Yuyan sat upright in the left side of the back seat, holding her Chanel handbag in both hands and placing it on her lap.

After a long while, she finally came to her senses.

Realizing that he had left the Magic City International Conference Center and was far away from this banquet that was both noisy and glorious.

She turned slightly to the side, turning her gaze toward the boy on her right.

In the dimly lit carriage, his features appeared even more profound and noble, with an indescribable charm emanating from his brows.

She couldn't help but tighten her skirt, trying to calm her racing heart and maintain her composure.

Tonight's events had such a profound impact on her that they completely overturned her understanding, changed her life plans, goals, and even her destiny.

She originally thought that Tang Song was just a low-profile billionaire active in Yancheng.

However, it turned out that his background and power far exceeded expectations, and he even had members of the Kate Family endorse him.

The Tang Song were like a star hidden in the clouds, shining brightly once it appeared.

She pursed her lips, leaned slightly to the right, and said softly, "Mr. Tang, your Lamborghini is still in the parking lot."

Do you need me to drive it back for you tomorrow?

"Then I'll trouble you, Yuyan." Tang Song took out the key from the inside pocket of his suit and handed it over.

Shen Yuyan quickly reached out and took the keys, looking at him. "It's what I should do, after all, I'm your assistant, right?"

Tang Song smiled slightly and said, "Yes, Assistant Shen. Please contact a tow truck to transport the car directly back to Yancheng. My trip to Magic City will be over soon."

Shen Yuyan immediately lit up with a smile. "Received! I'll arrange it. As for the financing of Yimai Technology, I'll follow up on it every day. Once the Youjie Home Services matter is settled, I'll go to Hang City immediately to proceed."

Tang Song nodded slightly, inhaling the scent of her perfume and looking at her familiar, fresh-faced school beauty.

He couldn't resist reaching out and gently stroking her thick, smooth hair with his fingertips, before sliding down to her tall, slender back.

Shen Yuyan's body stiffened for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal, still smiling, though her legs, which were pressed together, were trembling slightly.

Feeling the School Beauty Shen's obedience, Tang Song felt a strange sense of accomplishment welling up inside him.

He leaned back in his chair, his expression distant and profound.

At this point, Tang Song had already broken free from the state of being "observers," and the sense of alienation from being a bystander gradually faded away, allowing them to become themselves again.

Tang Song closed his eyes, and the scenes from tonight flashed through his mind:

The flashing lights on the red carpet, the respect and courtesy from the organizers in the VIP lounge, standing side by side with Annie Kate in the main venue, being the center of attention, the politeness and enthusiasm of the top investment firm executives—all these things intertwined in his mind to create a magnificent picture.

Especially the existence of Shen Yuyan, the former campus belle, and the changes in her mentality and the Whisper of human nature in this arena of fame and fortune.

This made him feel the allure of "power" more and more directly.

As men, Tang Song and Song also harbored a desire for power.

From his early days as a programmer at Brocade Business to his current role as the head of a private equity firm managing billions of dollars in assets, each step has given him a deeper understanding of the meaning of "power."

Tang Song opened his eyes, rolled down the carriage window, and let the cool night breeze caress his face.

The Huangpu River reflects the lights on both banks, and the skyscrapers of Lujiazui gleam with dazzling light. Landmarks symbolizing wealth and power, such as the Oriental Pearl Tower, Magic City Central Tower, and Jin Mao Tower, appear even more magnificent at night.

He gazed at the city lights outside the window, a sense of indescribable satisfaction rising within him.

"Whoosh!" The System Light Screen reappeared.

On October 8, 2023, after attending "Investor Night," you sat in your car, feeling the submissiveness and admiration of your former college crush, reminiscing about the scenes in the venue, still immersed in the moment, unable to calm down.

You vaguely sense an invisible yet powerful force surrounding you. This force is not simply money or status, but rather a kind of "power" woven from resources, connections, and decision-making authority.

It's like an invisible net, tightly connecting the entire venue and even the wider world, and you have become an indispensable part of it.

At this moment, you stand at a completely new height, experiencing a perspective that transcends the ordinary.

[Your mindset has undergone significant growth; Charm +1]

Tang Song paused, his eyes bursting with intense joy.

His left hand went straight down and grasped School Beauty Shen's long, shapely thigh through her skirt.

Shen Yuyan bit her lip, her face slightly flushed.

Tang Song took a deep breath, returned to the main interface, and checked his personal information.

Player: Tang Song (79 Charm)

[Character: President of Songmei Clothing]

Height: 184cm, Weight: 80kg

[Constitution: 78, Endurance: 80, Agility: 73, Comprehension: 84]

[Asset Status:]

Balance: 0.96 billion yuan (Investment Capital 5.045 billion yuan)

Having experienced the [Shen Yuyan's Whisper] instance, I have also achieved a breakthrough in my state of mind.

This brought his Charm Value to 79, just one point away from reaching 80, allowing him to successfully unlock the next stage of assets.

The excitement and thrill I felt were indescribable.

After a while, Tang Song returned to the main interface and began to check the rewards for clearing the dungeon Yi Yi.

[Outfit - Autumn Encounter]: Autumn limited outfit, Constitution +2, Agility +2, with a warming effect.

The outfit consists of: Caramel Brown Turtleneck Sweater, Dark Gray Slightly Wide Suit Pants, and brown leather shoes.

Additional effect: Autumn Encounter (Wearing this set will grant a small luck bonus, which may bring you unexpected little moments of good fortune at times).

Limited-time effect: Atmosphere rendering (When you are in an outdoor autumn scene, it will exude a unique atmosphere and feel, helping you to gain the Good impression of others).

[Note: When a caramel-colored sweater meets dark gray suit trousers, the autumn breeze becomes the messenger between you.]

This is an extremely elegant and beautiful outfit, and it also has an extremely valuable luck bonus!

I'll draw it when I get back to Yancheng, and then give it to my junior schoolmate to make.

The temperature is starting to drop now, so this autumn outfit is just right.

[Language - French Proficiency Skill]: After use, this skill will "awaken" you after you fall asleep, automatically mastering French spelling rules, vocabulary and grammar, pronunciation and intonation, enabling you to speak, listen, read and write fluently, and understand France cultural background knowledge.

[Note: Why must baguettes be cut diagonally?]

Without hesitation, I used it immediately.

[Secretary Jin's Story Easter Egg]: In the game, there is a hidden Easter egg in a side story related to "Secretary Jin". After using it, you will recall this forgotten gambling memory and temporarily unlock "Secretary Jin's" communication permission, allowing you to give her a "Private Command".

[Note: He won again? He seems to never be wrong—]

After reading the prop description, Tang Song felt satisfied, and his heart began to race.

I originally thought it was a prop similar to "Secretary Jin's Pen", but I didn't expect it to unlock call permissions.

Now, at nearly 80 years old, he has finally gained the right to talk to his beloved female secretary, even if it's just a temporary unlock, it's still very meaningful.

Unlike my previous dreams.

He will be able to hear her voice in real life and have a real conversation with her.

As for the "bet," he didn't know what it was.

Tang Song let out a breath, but did not use it immediately.

This opportunity is extremely valuable, especially since it allows me to issue "Private Command," so I must think carefully and prepare for it.

"Mr. Tang, we've arrived at the Ji Hotel," the driver in the front seat whispered.

"Okay." Tang Song quickly came to his senses and closed the System Interface.

Shen Yuyan brushed a strand of hair from her temple, her gaze falling on Tang Song's left hand. Her face flushed, she said, "Mr. Tang, would you like to chat a little longer? I still have some questions about the upcoming work."

Feeling the warmth in his hand, Tang Song smiled and said, "Alright, Assistant Shen."

At this moment, he was in an extremely good mood and was very interested in chatting with this former school beauty.

Shen Yuyan pursed her lips. "I'd like to know roughly when I can officially start working here."

When would you like it to be?

"Of course, the sooner the better." Shen Yuyan, then explained, "I know Mr. Tang very busy, and I hope to help you with your work as soon as possible."

Tang Song smiled and said, "Once you've settled things with Youjie Home Services, you can start working there anytime."

"And what is the specific position?" Shen Yuyan looked up at him with her bright eyes, her eyelashes fluttering slightly. "I think the assistant position would be perfect for me, like Xiao Xue, to be by your side and help you with your work."

Tang Song's eyes flickered, and he instantly understood her little scheme.

This is an attempt to compete head-on with Xiao Xue.

In terms of workplace skills and execution, the Fake Socialite friend is no match for this School Beauty Shen.

But then again, it's because Xiao Xue can draw maps and she can play duo queue with Qianqian.

Now she is his Partner.

Even if Shen Yuyan is to be hired, her feelings should be taken into account.

After thinking for a moment, Tang Song said, "You should remain my Special Assistant. After you join the company, you will mainly be responsible for handling some of my overseas investment business."

With Rongliu Investment on the right track, it's time to push forward his [Growth Plan Task 3: Capital Hunter] vigorously.

This task required his personal involvement and could not be simply delegated to Rongliu Investment's team.

Shen Yuyan a perfect fit, as she could help him collect and process data, mobilize resources, and speed up the process.

"Special assistant" is a specialized position that provides customized decision support to specific leaders and has certain special authority.

It won't conflict with the "assistant general" and can still achieve the goal.

"Okay, Mr. Tang!" Shen Yuyan Tian Tian, then asked in a low voice about Rongliu Capital in Yancheng.

The case of FE.

Her tone was natural and fluent, with a hint of probing and curiosity, as if she simply wanted to understand the job content.

However, when she heard that Lin Mu Xue was actually the company's assistant, her legs visibly tensed up.

But he quickly adjusted his expression and showed no abnormality.

As a newcomer, she knew she had to lie low, integrate into the environment, and then gradually surpass Lin Mu Xue and take her place!

The two chatted in the car for about ten minutes, the conversation ranging from company structure to future plans, in a relaxed yet subtle atmosphere.

Shen Yuyan maintained a perfect balance of distance and intimacy, perfectly embodying the image of an outstanding career woman. As she was getting off the bus, she turned to Tang Song, a bright smile spreading across her face, "Now, I'm off work, right?"

Tang Song was pleased and then laughed, "Of course."

"Then you're not my boss anymore." Shen Yuyan slightly, suddenly kissed him on the cheek, and patted his thigh with her delicate hand. "Goodnight, Tang Song. Remember to get some rest."

After saying that, she winked at Tang Song, got out of the car gracefully and briskly, and walked towards the hotel.

Tang Song sat in the car, watching Shen Yuyan's figure disappear behind the glass doors of the hotel lobby, before finally turning his gaze away after a long while.

The Rolls-Royce slowly started moving and drove into the Underground Parking Lot of Suhe Bay Overseas Chinese Town.

Tang Song got out of the car, went into the Villa Basement, and changed into slippers.

Take the elevator directly to the second floor.

The master bedroom door was open and the light was on, but Annie was nowhere to be seen.

"Click-"

,

Pushing open the door to the Second Bedroom, a familiar scent of perfume wafted to my nose.

Tang Song raised an eyebrow slightly and turned on the light.

On the soft, large bed, a figure was lying lazily.

Her golden hair cascaded down like a waterfall, her waist was deep, her hips were full, and her long legs were slightly crossed, all bathed in a honey-like luster under the warm light.

Tang Song let out a soft breath, his gaze involuntarily lingering on that graceful curve.

In fact, there's still one bet between the two that hasn't been settled.

Thinking of Annie's words, "Do whatever you want with me," his heart suddenly started racing, his mouth went dry, and an uncontrollable heat surged within him.

To say you have no interest in Tall Mare is to lie to a ghost.

He's a normal man, and a pervert at that.

I haven't had a proper chance to relax since leaving Yancheng.

During this period, first Xie Shuyu, then Su Yu, Annie, Shen Yuyan.

He has truly done his best to endure this long.

Currently, charm can only increase by 2 points per day, and it will soon break through 80 to unlock the next stage of rewards.

It's a time of high spirits and surging emotions, and it's easy to lose control.

As if sensing the movement, Annie slowly sat up, her blue eyes filled with amusement. "Look who's back."

Song, I thought you were sleeping at your assistant's place tonight, so—I took the liberty of using your bed.

She deliberately slowed her speech, her fingertips tracing a line across the sheets, leaving an ambiguous crease.

Tang Song took a few steps closer, looking down at her.

Annie met his burning gaze, her excitement intensifying, but she shrugged innocently, "Now that you're back, I guess I'll have to go back to Yi Yi, right?"

She made a move to get out of bed, and her thin undershirt slipped down as she moved, revealing her dazzlingly white skin.

Her exaggerated body curves outline an alluring arc.

Tang Song's throat bobbed, and he grabbed her wrist tightly.

"You're hurting me, darling." She pouted, feeling wronged, but her tongue slowly licked her lower lip, as if savoring his loss of control at that moment.

Tang Song leaned forward slightly, looking into her light-colored eyes, and said, "It's time to cash in the bet, Ms. Annie."

2

"Hmm~" Annie gasped softly, seemingly startled. "Song, what do you want me to do? I will cooperate with you, but you should know that this is only because I lost this time and I am keeping my promise."

Although she spoke with a helpless tone, she held her head high and looked very excited.

The game was about to start, and the situation was extremely critical.

Annie still didn't launch an attack, like a mother leopard toying with her prey.

Tang Song's breathing became increasingly rapid, and he began frantically making excuses for himself.

Annie has been provoking me time and time again, and I'm about to leave Magic City. If I don't teach her a lesson, she'll definitely become even more reckless.

The "Control Annie" Branch Mission comes with a reward of 1 Charm Value.

He had to finish this as soon as possible in order to see Secretary Jin!

Secretary Jin will understand, right?

When the topic of Horse Training came up, Tang Song's eyes flickered slightly, and a surge of excitement welled up inside him.

To date, he still possesses 5 precious [Recovery Potion].

Based on his understanding of Annie, this Tall Mare, despite her flamboyant and fiery personality, had never had a relationship with a man.

Even if her physique and talent are exceptional, he is confident.

Finally, after a series of psychological struggles.

Tang Song's rationality was completely overwhelmed by desire, and his mind was filled with yellow energy.

With a gasp from Annie, the two fell onto the bed.

The soft light shone on the two of them.

Clothes were scattered all over the floor, and the air was thick with the heat of the day.

Annie's voice gradually became hoarse, carrying a hint of disbelief.

Where did you learn that?

"You're amazing!"

"Oh God!"
