Chapter 1887 - 634: Loyal Jing, First Love’s Turmoil (Part 2)

"Want to? Of course, I do. President Liu, I don’t have many friends here in Shen City, and I’ve always wanted to keep working with you!"

"Well, that’s perfect. There’s a position at Qingning Technology that suits you. Update your resume and send it to me."

"Ah! Okay, I’ll get on it right away! Thank you, President Liu! Thank you so much!"

"No need to thank me. I personally brought you to Shen City, so naturally, I have to be responsible for you."

After hanging up the phone, her fingers didn’t pause for a moment.

Huo Lili was an old employee she personally recruited from Imperial City and brought to Shen City.

She had previously hinted several times, hoping to continue following her after she left Century Wisdom.

At that time, Liu Qingning had just parachuted into Qingmi AI and was only eager to prove herself to Tang Song and others.

If she hastily formed cliques and established another faction, she would surely be seen by some as mixing personal and professional matters and destabilizing the company’s original team.

But now, the situation has changed.

She immediately dialed the second number, Li Ziyin.

The moment the call connected, the seriousness on her face faded, replaced with a relaxed smile shared between close friends.

"Hey? Ziyin, where are you living it up these days?"

"Just arrived in Sydney two days ago, zoned out by the opera house here, what’s up, my busy bee?"

Li Ziyin was her core entrepreneurial partner at Century Wisdom, responsible for data business, highly capable.

After cashing out and leaving together, she started globetrotting.

"Ziyin, have you had enough fun?" Liu Qingning’s tone was a bit teasing, "I remember you’ve always wanted to delve into AIGC’s applications in commerce, right? At Qingmi AI, a new commercial data team is being formed. Interested in coming over to fight alongside me?"

On the other end, Li Ziyin was silent for several seconds from overwhelming surprise, accompanied by rapid breaths.

...

"Hey? Shuangshuang, didn’t you say you wanted to apply internally from TY Precision to Xuanji Light Realm but lacked the qualifications?"

"Now, the opportunity has arrived. Submit your internal transfer application right now, and leave the rest to me."

"Why so formal with me? I’ve always looked forward to us genuinely working together on a project."

"I’m hanging up, bye-bye."

One call after another was dialed.

Liu Qingning kept a smile on her face as she called all her former colleagues and classmates, who were close to her, strong in ability, one by one.

Before the meeting with Su Yu and unveiling the truth, she knew Qingning Technology was co-founded by Tang Song, but subconsciously she considered herself more like a "professional manager" or "trustee" tasked with responsibilities.

But now, with her intelligence and IQ, she naturally pieced all the clues together.

This company from the beginning to end was created by Tang Song.

And especially named "Qingning," the significance is self-evident.

This should have been the ultimate romance in the world.

But behind this romance also involves Su Yu, Jin Meixiao...

Those incredibly formidable rivals she couldn’t defeat, strong to the point of despair.

Since she couldn’t let go of the twelve-year-long affection, since there was no retreat to a point where she could pretend nothing happened.

Then there was no choice but to move forward.

She must take the initiative, fight for the position that should belong to her, defend the glory named after her.

...

Imperial City.

Smile Holding Headquarters, top-floor VIP reception room.

Jing sat upright on the soft sofa, hands neatly on her knees, back straight as if waiting for a teacher to call on her.

Her lively big eyes carried tension, anxiety, shame...

And a hint of morbid excitement.

The reception room door was knocked.

Soon, Shangguan Qiuya’s figure walked in, "Jing, Chairman Jin has finished his work, I’ll take you over."

"Oh, oh! Thank you, Sister Shangguan."

Jing quickly stood up, first adjusting her outfit in the glass window, then followed Shangguan Qiuya outside.

Today, she specifically wore "Chairman Jin’s attire" to leave a better impression on Chairman Jin,

A light gray blazer, silk blouse, skirt, stockings, nude heels...

Even the hairstyle was imitated.

Through the familiar, busy corridor.

To the outside of the executive chairman’s office.

"Knock, knock, knock—" Shangguan Qiuya lightly knocked on the door.

"Enter."

A cool and echoing female voice came from inside, calm in tone but unconsciously making one’s shoulders tense.

"I’ll wait for you outside." Shangguan Qiuya turned back, gave Jing a meaningful look, then turned and merged into the light and shadow of the corridor.

Jing’s throat involuntarily moved, slowly pushing open the door.

This was already her second time stepping into Chairman Jin’s "divine realm."

But unlike last time, then, she was there as a potential "employee" for training.

Now, she was there as a "newly favored consort" aware of a shocking secret, to "meet" this true "main palace empress."

Still, that familiar, steady and luxurious office.

The air faintly filled with white tea fragrance, elegant and restrained, just like Chairman Jin herself.

Sunlight streaming through the large floor-to-ceiling windows projected the magnificent city skyline outside.

She stood in the center of the office.

Tall figure, sharp shoulders, slender yet powerful waist, hips graceful in curve, as if crafted by a sculptor.
