Chapter 515: Mo Xiangwan's Disruption
Chapter 515: Mo Xiangwan's Disruption
The warm light overhead shone softly, enveloping the figures of the three people in a warm and hazy halo.
The night wind blew my hair, bringing a hint of autumn coolness, but also made this moment seem more real.
Sun Jiayue stared blankly at her high school classmate across from her, memories of the past coming to her mind bit by bit.
The youthful and vivid high school campus scenes flashed by one by one.
The giggling, high-spirited young man gradually completely overlapped with this mature, confident, and handsome figure.
Both strange and familiar, both distant and close.
"Tang Song?" she murmured to herself.
"It's me. You won't fail to recognize me, right?" Tang Song smiled and nodded, with a hint of teasing in his tone.
"You've changed... a bit." Sun Jiayue tried to calm her inner turmoil and refocus her gaze.
She has never been a beauty-obsessed person and doesn't care about a boy's appearance. She only admires successful business elites.
Thinking of his recent gaffe, an embarrassed look flashed across his face.
He has changed so much and is really handsome, like the protagonist from a workplace drama.
"You too, you've lost a lot of weight and become much prettier. I almost couldn't recognize you. And I heard from Qing Ning that you're doing very well now, a highly educated financial elite in Shanghai. That's amazing."
Tang Song looked at Sun Jiayue, who was wearing an exquisite professional suit, with emotion.
He meant what he said.
He and Sun Jiayue haven't seen each other for more than 7 years.
I returned to my alma mater two months ago, and the memories of 2016 are still vivid in my mind. It seems as if I was a silly little fat girl in the last second, and turned into a standard working woman in the next second. I can't help but sigh at the passing of time and the wonder of growth.
"Thank you for the compliment, old classmate." Sun Jiayue subconsciously lifted the hair at her temples, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
She is indeed proud of her current achievements.
As for the hardships involved, probably only she herself understands.
Tang Song pointed at the casually dressed girl next to her and asked, "By the way, who is this girl next to you? Can you introduce her?"
"Um..." Sun Jiayue turned around, "She is my college classmate and roommate, Zhang Nuo, who also works in this area."
"Hello, I'm Tang Song, nice to meet you." Tang Song smiled politely and gently.
Zhang Nuo was startled by his smile and quickly lowered his head, hesitating, "Hello, Tang Song. Um... I was just cooking upstairs and came down in a hurry."
She forced an explanation and hid her feet in red slippers behind her.
Although he appears strong on the outside, he is actually broken inside.
I believed what the little sister said and thought it was a silly fat programmer visiting my house, so I didn't take it seriously and ran downstairs to watch the fun.
The result is a gorgeously dressed Sun Jiayue and a handsome Tang Song in a suit.
He became a complete clown.
She felt that she would not be happy this whole year.
As if he had noticed her little thoughts, Tang Song looked at her and said, "As expected of the financial elites of Magic City, you all have great temperaments."
Hearing his praise, Zhang Nuo's face instantly turned red and his mood changed from rainy to sunny.
Oh my god! My god! If you can talk, please say more. I love to listen!
Sun Jiayue pursed her lips, raised her head and said, "Let's go, the food is ready. If we're any later, the crabs will get cold."
"Yes, yes, yes, I picked out these big crabs myself at the supermarket. You must try them."
"Thank you, let's go."
As they talked, the three of them walked side by side towards the elevator, their footsteps echoing in the quiet corridor.
After going upstairs, Tang Song placed the fruit gift box he brought at the entrance and glanced around the surrounding layout.
The interior decoration is simple yet stylish, with various smart appliances and artistic ornaments, which is very nice.
"This place is really nice. You live in a very elegant style." Tang Song praised sincerely with admiration in his tone.
"It's OK, mainly because the rent is expensive." Sun Jiayue responded with a smile, her tone relaxed, "But the location is indeed convenient, very close to Lujiazui."
Zhang Nuo glanced at the two of them and went straight into the bedroom.
Sun Jiayue invited Tang Song to sit down in the restaurant and asked a few questions about his accommodation in Shanghai.
When he heard that we were staying at the JW Marriott Hotel, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Although she had never met Tang Song, she had some understanding of his current situation through sporadic information from other classmates.
Previously, he worked as a developer at Meigou Technology, and was considered a programmer for a large company with a bright future. He might have the opportunity to be promoted to management level and earn a million-dollar annual salary in the future.
However, since Liu Qingning left the imperial capital last year, he also returned to Yancheng and worked in a trading company.
Now he is traveling to Shanghai and is staying in a 5-star hotel. And his clothes...
Sun Jiayue knew a little about clothing, so she could naturally tell that his outfit was extraordinary and worth at least ten thousand yuan.
All signs indicate that he is living a much better life than he thought.
When Zhang Nuo came out again, he looked brand new.
She changed into fashionable casual clothes, her hair was neatly combed, and she put on bean paste-colored lipstick, looking refreshed.
The three of them began to eat and the topic gradually unfolded.
Tang Song and Sun Jiayue mainly talked about their past in high school.
Several familiar names were mentioned, and some little secrets and interesting stories known to each other were brought out.
Just a few words brought their thoughts back to that youthful and innocent high school day.
Zhang Nuo, who was originally shy and reserved, gradually blended in and occasionally interjected a few witty remarks, and the atmosphere became more and more relaxed and harmonious.
However, as the conversation progressed, Sun Jiayue looked at Tang Song with more and more surprise and astonishment.
As a professional woman who graduated from a double first-class university and has 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, the impression Tang Song gave her was a drastic change, which refreshed her cognition.
There is actually not much change in his facial features, but his manners, temperament and body shape are no longer the same.
Of course, the most important thing is spirit.
The confidence and composure that radiates from the inside out seems to be overflowing.
This state cannot be achieved simply by changing appearance.
At least his core has been updated and is no longer mediocre.
Even compared to the young talents she knew, he was not inferior at all, and was even more... more charming.
……
Yancheng, Beicheng Garden Community.
The sound of the keyboard tapping is particularly clear in a quiet room.
Shen Yuyan began to quickly read through the documents, checking the existing financing plans, financial statements and market analysis reports one by one, optimizing and modifying them word by word.
She rubbed her temples; the long period of mental tension made her feel mentally exhausted.
"Ding-ling-ling——" The cell phone on the desk began to vibrate violently.
【Mingjian Capital-Wang Yubo】
Seeing the incoming call message, Shen Yuyan raised his brows slightly and quickly answered the call.
"Hello? Good evening, Yuyan." Wang Yubo's steady voice sounded.
Shen Yuyan tried to cheer up, and his voice returned to his usual capable and calm tone: "Good evening, Director Wang. I have prepared the information you want, and I will definitely not let you down."
"Haha, I believe this. I never doubt your ability."
“Thank you Mr. Wang for your trust! Thank you Mingjian Capital for the opportunity.”
"Don't be so polite. I admire your ability." Wang Yubo paused and said, "Have you booked the flight? When will you come? Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"
Shen Yuyan subconsciously glanced at the calendar on the computer, "October 10th, which is the day after tomorrow, the high-speed train will arrive in the Magic City that evening."
"Oh? Business class?"
"No, it's just a regular second-class seat on the high-speed train."
Wang Yubo said in a tone that did not allow for refusal: "How about this, I'll have my assistant book you a flight ticket for the 5th, and you can fly over directly. This time you're invited to participate in the event, and we'll cover your travel expenses and accommodation."
"No, no, no, this is not appropriate. Thank you, Mr. Wang. The high-speed train is also very fast. It will only take 6 hours to get there."
"There's nothing wrong with that. It's settled." Wang Yubo smiled and added, "When you come to Shanghai, I'll introduce you to some people, including the Big Four audit teams and top law firms. I believe your trip will be worthwhile."
Shen Yuyan pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Wang."
After chatting for a few more words, he hung up the phone.
Shen Yuyan let out a long breath, lowered his eyes, and fell into deep thought.
Gongying Technology's C+ round of financing is about to be completed, and preparations for listing on the New Third Board are also on the agenda.
As the main investor, Mingjian Capital is actively making plans to pave the way for the future.
She rushed to Shanghai four days in advance in order to report the current investment status of Youjie Housekeeping to the Mingjian Capital investment team and seek professional advice to ensure that the second investment funds were smoothly in place.
This opportunity was given by Wang Yubo because he admired her talent.
In addition, Wang Yubo will also introduce her to some high-end connections.
Among them are even management from Sequoia Capital and Jingwu Capital.
For Shen Yuyan, who is eager to socialize and ambitious, this is an irresistible temptation.
The essence of this society is actually not as simple as it appears on the surface.
Here, money, power and resources are the real rule makers.
Ordinary people can only passively accept the influence of these rules.
Moreover, she now needs to prove her worth, and this is an opportunity.
Shen Yuyan stood up, looked towards the south with bright eyes and full of confidence.
"See you the day after tomorrow in Demon City!"
"Gurgle--" Her stomach suddenly made a noise, interrupting her thoughts.
She paused for a moment and licked her lips. She had skipped dinner because she was too absorbed in her work and wanted to maintain her figure.
Now that I have sorted out the materials, I feel in a good mood and my appetite has also improved.
After thinking for a while, she quickly walked out of the bedroom and opened the refrigerator to take a look.
Then he strode to the bedroom opposite and pushed it open.
The sound of cheerful music floated in the air.
What came into view was Xu Qing, who was only wearing underwear, lying on the bed with her butt sticking up. She seemed to be concentrating on something and didn't notice anyone coming in at all.
Shen Yuyan raised his eyebrows, walked straight into the bedroom, and asked casually: "Qingqing, did you have dinner tonight?"
"Ahhhhhh!" an ear-piercing scream rang out.
Xu Qing turned around in a panic, her ponytails swinging around, obviously frightened.
(°ロ°)!
After a while, she pretended to be calm and sat up, her big dark eyes darting around, feeling very guilty, "Yanyan, why... why did you come here suddenly? Are you done?"
As an old friend for many years, Shen Yuyan noticed something strange at first glance.
His eyes narrowed slightly, "What's that thing behind you? Take it out!"
Xu Qing's face turned pale instantly, and she stepped back subconsciously: "No...nothing! Don't talk nonsense, there is nothing there."
"You're lying to me, right? Humph!" Shen Yuyan sneered, rushed forward quickly, threw her down on the bed, and reached out to grab the things she hid behind her back.
"No, no!" Xu Qing struggled and shook her head vigorously.
`o(>﹏<)o`
But in the end, she was no match for her best friend's tickling attack, and the thing behind her was pulled out.
Shen Yuyan looked at the ball gag in Xu Qing's hand, his mouth opening wider and wider. Xu Qing screamed, snatched the toy, and stuffed it directly into her pants in panic, "You misunderstood!"
(⊿)
Then she moved her body, as if to cover something.
Shen Yuyan suddenly made a move and lifted her quilt.
Small whip, leash, collar...
A whole set of toys appeared on the bed.
The texture is fine and it has patterns, which looks very beautiful.
Shen Yuyan's eyebrows twitched, and he said in disbelief: "Qingqing, you...you are...going to get involved in the circle? Does Tang Song know?"
Xu Qing quickly lay on the bed and explained loudly: "It's not what you think! This was bought for me by that stinky girl Xiaojing. It was mailed directly to our house. I signed for it in the evening and just opened it!"
As she spoke, she angrily wrapped the toy in a quilt and stuffed it into the cupboard.
"It's all because of that pervert Xiao Jing. She was teasing me on purpose!"
"Yanyan, you have to believe me, I'm not interested in these things!"
"Damn pervert Xiao Jing, I'm going to buy her some heavy-tasting toys and mail them to their company to get revenge on her!"
...
Shen Yuyan looked at her best friend and suddenly stepped forward and said, "Qingqing."
"What are you doing? I didn't lie to you. I can show you the chat history." Xu Qing shrank back.
Shen Yuyan took her phone and looked at their chat history.
A sense of crisis suddenly came over me.
She is not as simple as Xu Qing. Looking at Xiaojing's behavior, it seems that she wants to win over Xu Qing. She deliberately tries to get along well with her and even calls her "best friend".
With Qingqing's mindset, Xiaojing will definitely succeed soon.
Shen Yuyan's eyes flashed, and he said, "Qingqing, have you discovered that even your seemingly stupid Xiaojing can fool you around?"
"I didn't!" Xu Qing retorted with her neck stiff, but couldn't find a suitable reason for a moment.
Shen Yuyan stared into her eyes and said seriously: "I tell you, there is no simple person in Tang Song's team, of course...except you, that's why you are repeatedly manipulated."
"Damn it! Why do you say that to me! I'm not a simple person either, okay?" Xu Qing became angry and grabbed 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, his tone gentle but solemn: "I have a plan that can help you turn the tide of the battle."
Hearing this, Xu Qing pretended not to care, but her eyes involuntarily drifted over.
(O_o)??
After a moment, she couldn't help but ask, "What's the plan?"
Shen Yuyan leaned close to her ear and whispered with a smile: "Introduce foreign aid."
"Who?"
"Me." Shen Yuyan chuckled and kissed her on the face.
Hearing this, Xu Qing seemed to think of some scene and her face gradually became hot.
Although I felt like my bestie was joking, it surprisingly worked!
If Yanyan joins in, then they will be the real "Xu Yanqing"!
He punched Liu Ruyan, kicked Bai Jing, and suppressed Xu Jiali.
Invincible in the world, the heroine of online novels!
……
Magic City, Coastal Science Park.
Dinner is over.
The three of them went downstairs and walked along the busy streets to the bank of the Huangpu River.
Chatting and walking at the same time.
A cruise ship sailed slowly across the sparkling Huangpu River. In the distance, the brightly lit skyscrapers of Lujiazui were reflected on the water, like a brilliant painting.
Tang Song walked to an observation deck, stopped, took out his cell phone and started taking pictures.
Zhang Nuo, who was standing not far behind him, touched Sun Jiayue and suddenly whispered, "Yueyue, do you think Tang Song is a good match?"
"Uh? What do you mean?"
"LP! Haven't you been unable to find a suitable candidate?" Zhang Nuo lowered his voice with a hint of excitement in his tone. "I just heard him talk about his financial knowledge and experience in Internet giants. He is a perfect match for your needs."
Hearing this, Sun Jiayue was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously turned her gaze to Tang Song.
His image, conversation and quality are impeccable.
Especially when talking about her work, he showed an understanding of the financial industry that far exceeded the average person's cognition.
The background of a large factory in the imperial capital before the Tang and Song dynasties completely fits the setting of a "technological upstart".
If he could disguise himself as a successful entrepreneur from Yancheng and come to Shanghai to look for 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, and the other party didn't seem to be joking.
Her heartbeat began to speed up. She bit her lip, took a few steps forward, and asked tentatively, "Tang Song, when will you leave the Magic City?"
Tang Song said casually: "I'm not sure, but it will definitely be after the 8th."
"After the 8th?" Sun Jiayue's eyes lit up and her tone became serious, "I want to ask you for help with something. I wonder if you are willing."
"What's the matter? Tell me. I'll help if I can." Tang Song put away his relaxed expression and looked at her intently.
Sun Jiayue carefully chose her words and tried to speak in the most sincere tone possible: "You should know that I am currently working as a fund-raising specialist at a private equity fund company. There are strict fund-raising performance requirements every year, but due to the poor overall environment, it is very difficult to expand the number of high-net-worth clients. So... I hope you can do me a favor."
"Oh?" Tang Song raised his eyebrows and raised a meaningful smile, "You want me to be your LP?"
"Uh..." Sun Jiayue blinked and nodded a little embarrassedly, "You can say that."
Zhang Nuo added: "Yes, Tang Song, you are the most suitable candidate."
Tang Song crossed his arms and smiled thoughtfully: "How about this, send me the introduction of your company's fund products later. If there is no big problem, I will seriously consider it."
I have to say that Sun Jiayue and Zhang Nuo are worthy of their background in finance, and they have a sharp vision!
Even though he was so low-key, they still noticed something.
As expected, with a charm close to 80, he has reached a point where he cannot be ignored.
Hear his words.
Sun Jiayue and Zhang Nuo looked at each other and burst out laughing at the same time.
Tang Song was stunned and didn't quite react.
Sun Jiayue couldn't help but stepped forward and patted his arm. "I say, although you look much more mature and stable now, you are still as humorous as you were in high school."
Zhang Nuo stuck out his tongue and whispered, "That's not what we meant. Yueyue Company is a private equity company, which is different from the over-the-counter funds on Alipay. The subscription starts at one million yuan."
Tang Song's eyes twitched and he silently withdrew his praise for them.
Then, Sun Jiayue talked about her plan.
When Tang Song heard that he was asked to pretend to be a "tech upstart" and "investor", his expression became more and more strange.
Isn't this his true identity?
At his current level, it would be a bit cheap for him to do these things.
Just about to 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 event in Shanghai recently. I also got the invitation letter through the company's channels with great difficulty."
Tang Song raised his eyebrows in surprise.
What a coincidence.
One of the important things he did during his visit to Shanghai was to attend this event.
In fact, he has already received an invitation letter, and it is in the name of Rongliu Capital.
At the meeting, I got in touch with Yimai Technology and participated in their B+ round of financing.
But it’s normal if you think about it carefully.
This type of large-scale investment activity is complex in organization, involves a large number of participants, and often brings together practitioners in related fields.
As practitioners in Shanghai, it is not surprising that Sun Jiayue and Zhang Nuo got involved.
Seeing Tang Song fell silent, he seemed to be hesitating.
Sun Jiayue pursed her lips and said, "Don't worry too much. This kind of activity is not as exaggerated as you think. You just need to cooperate with me to understand it. At the same time, I hope you can go with me to see the real high-end circle. Maybe you will find something different."
She paused and added, "In fact, Qing Ning probably also hopes that you will change. She suggested that I invite you to go with me before."
Although Tang Song has changed a lot after this meeting, he is still a programmer after all.
She thought Tang Song was afraid of appearing weak at such an event.
Hearing Bai Yueguang's name, Tang Song's eyes softened a lot.
He looked at Sun Jiayue in front of him and smiled, "Okay, sure."
Anyway, he was going to go, and it made no difference whether he went alone or with Sun Jiayue.
It just happened to satisfy Bai Yueguang's bad taste and teach her former best friend a lesson.
……
At 9 o'clock in the evening, Tang Song said goodbye to Sun Jiayue and returned to the JW Marriott Hotel.
The room was brightly lit and the luggage was neatly placed in the corner.
Since I have decided to move in with Anne Kate, I naturally have to take my things here with me.
Thinking about the life of living with a big foreign horse, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Communicating with Anne is always fresh.
Her flamboyance and directness, which is different from the Chinese, makes people feel relaxed and excited.
Of course, the most important point is that Anne's figure is top-notch. It is really a pleasure to be in close contact with such a beauty every day.
After packing his clothes and other daily necessities, Tang Song hesitated for a moment, then opened the safe, carefully stuffed the important items inside into his backpack, and carried them with him.
Then, we took the special car arranged by the hotel and headed straight to Suhewan OCT.
After getting off the car, Tang Song took out the access card Annie gave him and swiped it to enter the community.
After walking around for a while, I arrived at the door of the villa.
Enter the password, open the heavy armored door, and a faint fragrance hits you in the face.
As soon as I stepped into the living room, a tall and graceful figure came into view.
She was sitting on the sofa, wearing a white shirt with a slit skirt, a casual suit with exquisite stripes, a pair of black pointed high heels, and flesh-colored stockings outlining her long and straight legs.
Her makeup is light yet delicate, and she exudes the elegance and charm unique to a mature woman.
"Mr. Tang, long time no see." Mo Xiangwan stood up gracefully with a perfect smile on her face, her eyes fixed on Tang Song.
Tang Song was slightly startled, then showed a surprised expression: "Xiang Wan, why are you here?"
Mo Xiangwan blinked her bright and deep eyes, "Ms. Kate boasted to me that you were going to stay with her, and I happened to have something to do with Mr. Tang, so I took the liberty to come here. I hope I didn't disturb you?"
Being stared at by her, Tang Song's eyes twitched and he felt vaguely guilty.
"Of course not. I happen to be visiting the Magic City Film and Television Base tomorrow, and I have a lot of details I want to discuss with you."
Mo Xiangwan nodded and said seriously, "There are many people on the set, and there are indeed many things that need to be paid attention to. If I assign it to someone else, I will not feel at ease, so I will just take full responsibility myself. I will personally accompany Mr. Tang to visit the set tomorrow."
"Thank you for your hard work."
"It should be. After all, Su Yu and I have been waiting for this day for a long, long time." Mo Xiangwan said with emotion, his eyes fell on the suitcase in Tang Song's hand, and the corners of his lips slightly raised, "In order to ensure that there are no accidents, I will temporarily stay at Miss Kate's place tonight. President Tang, do you mind?"
Tang Song didn't seem to hear her subtext, and said sincerely: "Of course I don't mind, three people is better, in fact, I miss you too."
