Chapter 379 Secretary Jin: Let her see this photo
Chapter 379 Secretary Jin: Let her see this photo
In the LV counter.
Tang Song sat calmly on the sofa in the lounge area.
Two store attendants surrounded him.
One showed him the bag inside and out, made sure there was no damage or flaws, and then packed it carefully.
The other one held a POS machine and prepared to scan the code to check out.
With a "beep" sound, the payment receipt was spit out.
Twilight Sparkle and Heart Language, who were standing nearby, looked at each other and then looked at their own parts of the table.
I just chatted with him and said that I was Lin Muxue's friend. I saw Xiaoxue posted his photo in the group before.
Then I introduced him to some little knowledge about bags, and he was enlightened by the sunshine.
Each person gets a LV cashmere scarf and 2 accessories.
The total value exceeds 1 yuan.
Looking at the SA (sales consultant) who was helping Mr. Tang apply for a super VIP card, the two men showed deep envy in their eyes.
They have seen many handsome men and also know some rich ones.
But I never dreamed of becoming such a young and outstanding billionaire.
He owns a mansion at No. 1 Shencheng Bay, drives a Bentley Continental GT, wears a 70 yuan 4300V, and spends money like water at the LV counter...
He just sat there, the focus of everyone's attention.
In the WeChat group, messages come one after another.
Although they come from all over the world, they all have one thing in common: they are vain and materialistic.
Xiaoxue's boyfriend is as lethal to them as a nuclear bomb.
It’s hard to imagine how Xiaoxue managed to get close to such a person.
Although judging from the way he bought the bag, it was obvious that he had more than one girlfriend.
But who cares?
If there is a chance to replace them, they will definitely rush in.
"Okay, Mr. Tang! Your electronic card has been processed. The physical card will be delivered by mail. You can send me the address on WeChat when you have time." The salesgirl had a warm and friendly smile on her face. "We will deliver these things to your residence later. Thank you for your patronage of Louis Vuitton."
"Okay." Tang Song nodded slightly, stood up from the sofa, and glanced at the pile of gift boxes on the table.
The total consumption was 134 million, of which bags accounted for 90, and the rest were accessories, perfumes, etc.
Add to that a bunch of small items given away as part of in-store activities, there are a lot of things.
Then he looked at the two girls next to him and said with a smile: "Don't forget to take your things."
"Thank you, Mr. Tang!" Twilight Sparkle and Xinyu looked at each other, walked quickly forward, bent down and picked up the gift box.
LV counter limited edition packaging + handbag, looks very prestigious.
They came here purely to take photos and post them on social media, and never expected to get such benefits.
Walk out of the LV counter and stand in the gorgeous and elegant shopping mall aisle.
Looking at the handsome man next to her, Twilight's eyes sparkled. She stepped forward and kissed him on the face, smiling and saying, "Autumn is coming soon. I have liked this scarf for a long time. Thank you, Mr. Tang!"
Seeing this, Xinyu also stepped forward and kissed him, saying thank you sweetly, her full breasts deliberately brushing across his arm.
Then, the two of them stood up straight, blinking and looking at him expectantly.
Tang Song smiled and said calmly: "You're welcome. After all, you are Xiaoxue's friends. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Bye."
These two people gave him a strong sense of déjà vu. They were typical fake socialites, and were simply a weakened version of the former Xiaoxue.
The difference is that their faces and breasts have obviously been operated on.
Suspender skirts, high heels, internet celebrity face, and luxury goods all the time.
When I see them, I can't help but think of Lin Muxue whom I met in Shengwei Pavilion.
When we first met, I simply felt that she was beautiful, like the second female lead from a Korean drama.
Before she knew it, Xiaoxue had transformed into her own shape.
"Bye~" "Bye~"
Watching him leaving, both of them showed expressions of disappointment and resentment on their faces.
However, they knew their own limitations and naturally did not dare to go up and stick to him forcefully.
"Buzz buzz buzz——" There was still a crazy discussion in the WeChat group, and most of them were just licking it.
[“With such an awesome boyfriend, @Xiaoxue will definitely be very successful in the future. When will you introduce me to your sister?”]
[“@Xiaoxue, we haven’t seen each other for half a year. I’ll go to Yancheng to find you next time.”]
[“@Xiaoxue, I haven’t seen you take photos together for a long time. What do you do now?”]
[“I seem to remember Xiaoxue saying that he was in the financial industry, right? He’s very capable.”]
...
Thinking of Tang Song, whom they had just met, Twilight Sparkle and Xinyu both curled their lips, feeling very sad.
But he also complimented her a few times, took a photo with the LV gift bag he had just received, and shared it in the group.
"Buzzing—"
[Xiaoxue: "I currently work in a foreign financial company. I am considered a senior executive. My work is very busy and I have many meetings every day, so I rarely show up."]
【Xiaoxue: Office photo.jpg】
Twilight Sparkle and Heartthrob clicked on the photo and looked at it, their eyes widening at the same time.
A high-end and bright independent office with tall buildings behind it.
Xiaoxue sat in a custom-made office chair, wearing an elegant and exquisite Chanel suit and skirt, a Bulgari double-row diamond rivet necklace, with her legs crossed and holding a MacBook.
There are piles of English materials and books on the table.
She has the temperament of a financial expert and a workplace witch, and she is very imposing.
Is this Xiaoxue? Are you kidding! ?
As this completely transformed photo was released, the group fell silent for a short time.
"This..." Twilight Sparkle swallowed, "Why does Xiaoxue feel different from before?"
Xinyu blushed and said, "No wonder she was favored by Mr. Tang. She must have really made a fortune."
"But one thing hasn't changed. She's still so pretentious." Twilight Sparkle said jealously, "But now she's really awesome. She feels like those female leaders of big companies we've seen."
"Buzzing—"
【Xiaoxue: "Okay, no more chatting. I'm going to get busy with work. Bye."】
……
In the Chanel counter.
"Sir, what do you think of this CF classic handbag? Black is timeless, classic and can be easily matched with various clothing styles and occasions..."
"Ding-ling-ling——" the cell phone rang.
Tang Song took it out and looked at it, a smile appeared between his brows.
She raised her hand to signal the salesgirl and answered the phone, "Hello, Xiaoxue."
"Hello, Mr. Tang. Did two of our friends just run into you at MixC? Sorry, we accidentally took a photo of you when we were shopping at Xingyue City and posted it to the group. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."
"It's okay. I read the research report you sent this morning. It's very well done."
“Thank you for your recognition, I will continue to work hard!”
Tang Song smiled and asked, "What are you doing now?"
"I..." Lin Muxue paused and continued, "I'm learning English."
"Then continue to study. I'll check it out when I get back."
"Oh, okay." Maybe it was because she was too excited, but her voice trembled a little.
After hanging up the phone, Tang Song couldn't help but smile.
With the buff [High Mood], she learns very quickly.
The last time the three of them played, they even started talking trash in English, mainly to bully Qianqian because she couldn't understand.
In order to maintain her character's image, Xiaoxue tried very hard.
Walking out of a Chanel counter.
Tang Song looked at the time and it was almost 12 noon, so he returned to the Bentley.
Soon, the car started slowly.
Shenzhen Bay 1 T7, 70th floor, Yunjing Chinese Restaurant.
The interior decoration is elegant and luxurious, adopting the "floating in the clouds Chinese courtyard design". Each box is themed after a gemstone, and tableware is specially customized for the restaurant.
The 270° floor-to-ceiling windows offer a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery including Shenzhen Bay and the "Spring Bamboo Shoots".
Stepping into the reserved box, Tang Song finally met the person he had an appointment with.
Qingning Technology CHO (Chief Human Resources Officer), Liang Mingzhe.
A middle-aged man in his early 40s, with a calm temperament and regular features.
What impressed Tang Song most was his gray hair.
"Mr. Tang, it's nice to meet you." Liang Mingzhe said with bright and sincere eyes: "I heard Lawyer Luo Bin mention you last time, and it's even more famous when we meet!"
"Mr. Liang, thank you for the compliment." Tang Song smiled and shook hands with him, and the two of them took their seats one by one.
As a shareholder with a 3% stake, he has Luo Bin's personal endorsement and Secretary Jin's arrangements.
Liang Mingzhe seemed particularly warm and polite.
I took the initiative to talk to him about the current organizational structure of Qingning Technology.
Including: senior management team, R&D department, product department, etc.
He speaks clearly and has sharp insight, showing excellent eloquence and the ability to read people's expressions.
"The popularity of AI searches has soared, and we have also made arrangements in advance. Last year, the ToB product was launched, and this year the ToC product has been launched..."
Tang Song listened quietly, his eyes flickering slightly.
Since early November last year, Qingning Technology has incubated the AI search application [Qingmi AI] internally based on its self-developed big model.
At the suggestion of the representative director of Smile Holdings, an independent subsidiary was established.
This time is almost the same as the day when Liu Qingning comes to Shenzhen.
Moreover, the products of this subsidiary are a perfect match for Liu Qingning, which is equivalent to an upgraded and enhanced version of her current job.
This can be an opportunity for her to get involved in Qingning Technology.
The more Tang Song came into contact with these "game industries", the more he could find traces of deliberate manipulation.
Maybe it was arranged by him in a dream state.
……
3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Kexing Science Park, Century Intelligence, conference room.
"Alas, I didn't expect Qingfeng to be the first to leave, but fortunately, at least I got the money." Zhang Xiaoni sighed: "I still remember that when we just started this project five years ago, we never thought we would get to this point."
It is impossible for a team to work together for 5 years and say there is no affection.
Today, only Zhang Xiaoni, who is responsible for educational content, and Wei Ping, the technical director, are left of the original team of five.
Algorithm Director Cheng Qingfeng, Software Director Liu Qingning, and Data Director Li Ziying will all leave the company in the near future.
In fact, it was expected.
Their team is all about technology and is not involved in business or sales, yet they hold 35% of the equity.
If the company wants to develop new terminals, such as intelligent learning machines and educational robots, it will definitely need more resource partners. Shenzhen has natural advantages, and it is the best choice to attract high-quality resources by exchanging equity.
Now that the software and large models have been put into place, with the technical director Wei Ping and technical consultant Professor Wang Chang, the normal operation of the company's business can be fully guaranteed.
When the company develops in the future, it will be able to introduce more high-end talents and undertake more advanced business.
Cheng Qingfeng and the others became the ones that could be abandoned.
The reality is so cruel.
Li Ziying clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Everyone, don't be so sad. After all, the three of us are taking the money and leaving. To be honest, I am quite satisfied. Since Qingfeng is leaving, let's find a place to get together tonight."
Wei Ping agreed, "Sure. I might have to go to Yangcheng on a business trip in two days, so let's do it today."
Liu Qingning opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but remained silent.
Although she really wanted to accompany Tang Song and promised him to go back early in the evening, Cheng Qingfeng officially resigned today and she couldn't miss the party.
At this moment.
"Buzz buzz buzz--" the cell phone vibrated.
Liu Qingning picked it up and looked at it, then stood up and said, "I'm going to answer a call."
After saying that, he answered the phone and walked out, "Hello, Tang Song."
Looking at her leaving back, the four of them looked at each other.
The three of them looked towards Cheng Qingfeng's position at the same time.
Li Ziying touched his shoulder and whispered, "Tang Song has come to Shenzhen, and Qing Ning is about to resign. If nothing unexpected happens, she should go back to the north with him. You don't have much time left. If you don't want to leave any regrets, it's best to explain it to her."
Zhang Xiaoni also nodded and said, "We should give it a try anyway. Girls are emotional creatures. Maybe we can impress Qing Ning."
"Yeah, after working together for so many years, don't you think it's a pity to just give up like this?"
As bystanders and Cheng Qingfeng's graduate school classmates, they could all see his feelings for Liu Qingning.
During these years of work, he has always been very caring towards Liu Qingning, the type who silently gives his support.
They have also been trying to bring them together.
But the two of them could never be together.
"I..." Cheng Qingfeng took a deep breath and exhaled, and said in a low voice: "Qing Ning should like Tang Song."
Li Ziying shook her head and said, "Qing Ning and he have known each other for so many years but they haven't been together. To be honest, my impression of him is really average. I don't think Tang Song is suitable for Qing Ning."
Wei Ping patted his shoulder and said, "Tonight's party is a good opportunity, Qingfeng, don't leave any regrets for yourself."
Cheng Qingfeng stroked the glasses on his nose, lowered his head and pursed his lips.
Liu Qingning's every smile, every word and every frown appeared before my eyes again.
Eyes curved like crescent moons, slightly upturned lips, and a curved nose...
More than 5 years of getting along, bit by bit.
White moonlight, it’s not so easy to let go.
Missing her will really be a lifelong regret.
……
"There's really nothing we can do. Qingfeng is leaving, and the five of us in the founding team are having a dinner together."
"Let's have dinner at Shenchengwan Street. It should be finished before 9 o'clock. Come find me then and we can go for a walk on the pedestrian street. There are a lot of delicious food and fun things there."
"Okay, okay, I know."
"OK Bye Bye."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Qingning stood there in a daze for a while and couldn't help but sigh.
In my mind, I recalled the word "I'm sorry" that came out of his mouth that night at Shenzhen Talent Park the day before yesterday.
In fact, she was not completely asleep at that time.
With her intelligence and knowledge of the Tang and Song dynasties, she knew many things even though he didn't tell her.
When I left the imperial capital, the conditions of the Tang and Song dynasties were still vivid in my mind.
Now he has suddenly counterattacked and become a male god. His emotional intelligence has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has changed from a silly boy to a knowledgeable and warm man.
He would trick me into sleeping in the same bed, forcefully kiss me, and give me little surprises from time to time.
This is very abnormal and very un-Tang and Song style.
Although she didn't want to believe it, she had made up her mind.
That is, during the more than 10 months that Tang Song was separated from her, other women intervened in his life and even had emotional entanglements with him.
The reason why I don’t say it is actually very simple.
She wanted to pull him back in her own way and make him become "her own Tang Song" again.
Perhaps in his eyes, she will always be that positive, lovely and optimistic girl "Liu Qingning".
But she, who has excellent emotional intelligence and EQ, is not static.
She is also growing up and becoming a "mature adult", either passively or actively.
Her feelings for Tang and Song were both pure and complex.
It's not just simple liking.
The two met in their ignorant childhood, had a teenage life with nothing to talk about, and also had a distant relationship during adolescence.
Friendship is mixed with ambiguity, mutual encouragement, complaints and growth.
After graduating from high school, he, like himself, worked hard and struggled silently, and did the best within his ability.
Even if we don't consider the love between men and women, they can definitely be called each other's best friends, the kind that can last a lifetime.
It is precisely because of this complex emotion that she is determined to give silently.
"Buzz buzz buzz--" the phone suddenly vibrated again.
Seeing the incoming call message, Liu Qingning quickly calmed down.
After answering the phone, he smiled and said, "Hello, Xiang Kai, why did you suddenly think of calling me?"
"I miss you, what else can I do?"
"Okay, let's get down to business. I'm in a meeting here." Liu Qingning didn't want to argue with him about this issue.
"Okay." Xiang Kai paused and smiled, "On Friday night, our company will hold a theme dinner at the Raffles Hotel at Shenzhen Bay 1. It will involve the issuance of a new private equity fund, with the main investment directions being artificial intelligence and new energy."
"Oh?" Liu Qingning's eyes lit up, and she quickly walked to the activity area and whispered, "What's the minimum investment amount?"
"Generally speaking, the clients are 300 million, and we mainly deal with LPs in the entertainment industry. After all, we at Juxing Huicui came from the entertainment industry. But, since we are friends, I can smooth the relationship and 200 million should be able to come in."
"Two million..." Liu Qingning hesitated for a moment and said, "It's a bit too much. Let me think about it."
After she left Century Intelligence, she was able to cash out 360 million.
Apart from buying a house in Yancheng, the best place to put the remaining money is naturally to invest.
But there are too many pitfalls in the stock market and funds, and the returns from bond funds are small.
A reliable private equity firm is undoubtedly the best choice.
Juxinghuicui Investment Management Co., Ltd. is a private equity partnership.
The most well-known LP among them is Su Yu, in addition, there are many celebrity LPs.
Since its establishment, this private equity company has achieved outstanding performance and stable long-term returns.
Moreover, the team is very professional and has close cooperation with the well-known Jingwu Capital.
If she could become a private equity LP of Juxinghuicui, it would undoubtedly be a good choice for her.
That's why I asked Xiang Kai for relevant information before.
But 200 million was still too much, accounting for half of her savings, which made her feel uneasy.
It would be better to prioritize dealing with her and Tang Song’s affairs.
Hearing her words, Xiang Kai advised: "Think it over carefully. This opportunity is rare. It is only because I work in this team that I have this small privilege. I heard from Liu Shuang that you want to buy a house first, right? In fact, house prices in second-tier cities are falling now. You can wait a little longer and don't rush into it."
"I know, this is a big deal, I need to think about it."
"Yeah, I understand." Xiang Kai smiled and said, "But I still strongly recommend that you attend the party. In addition to learning about our fund, you can also enjoy the performances. There will be many celebrity artists and singers performing that night."
"Oh?" Liu Qingning's eyes lit up when she heard there was a celebrity singer. "Who is it?"
She has loved music since she was a child and is particularly interested in these.
This is also the reason why she has a natural liking for Juxing Huicui.
Xiang Kai casually mentioned a few well-known stars, and then continued: "There is also Pei Yanke from the Echo girl group, and Bei Yuwei who has been in the limelight recently. They are all guest performers."
"Pei Yanke!" Liu Qingning exclaimed softly, "Okay, then I'll trouble you."
"By the way, I heard from Shuangshuang that Tang Song came to Shencheng, right? Is he staying at your place?"
"um, yes."
Xiang Kai said casually: "Then bring him along, just consider it as a chance to broaden his horizons, it will also be good for him."
Liu Qingning was silent for a moment and said, "I'll ask for his opinion later."
"Okay, let's do this for now, you're busy."
"Bye-Bye."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Qingning took a deep breath, her eyes flashing with thought.
She naturally knew that housing prices were falling, and she also knew how precious the LP quota in Juxinghuicui was.
In fact, she could also wait, participate in this round of private placement first, and then buy a house after the second equity transfer payment arrives.
However, buying a house in Yancheng was her first goal when she left the imperial capital.
I don't want to give up so easily.
It’s better to go and take a look first, meet the big stars, and learn about the investment information that is so prominent.
……
Imperial Capital, headquarters of Smile Holdings.
A rhythmic sound of footsteps echoed in the top-floor office building, and more than a dozen men and women walked out of the conference room and dispersed.
The executive director’s office was pushed open.
Two figures walked in.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Secretary Jin sat down on the chair and looked at the assistant opposite him.
Shangguan Qiuya whispered, "Boss Mo from Tangzong Entertainment has arrived in Shenzhen and met with Qin Yingxue. She came here to see Boss Tang."
"Oh?" Secretary Jin leaned back and narrowed his eyes slightly, "I see. Where's Su Yu?"
"Mr. Su has been staying at Tangzong Entertainment recently, and he has been very close to Wenruan while composing songs."
Secretary Jin nodded slightly, opened the drawer, took out a photo and placed it on the table.
Shangguan Qiuya hurriedly picked it up carefully.
This is a photo of a man and a woman.
Tang Song and Su Yu stood in front of a tall floor-to-ceiling window, with the gorgeous sunset behind them.
Both of them wore a pair of black-framed glasses on their noses.
Judging from the appearance of Su Yu and Tang Song, the photo was taken 5 years ago.
In 2018, the year when Qingning Technology was officially established, Tang Song was still addicted to the celebrity development game.
She snuggled up to Tang Song with a shy joy on her face, looking extremely beautiful.
Secretary Jin crossed her long, smooth legs and smiled, "After Liu Qingning joins Qingning Technology, let her see this photo at the right time. Also, help me arrange my schedule. I'm going to Shenzhen on Chinese Valentine's Day, and I'll visit Qingning Technology as well."
