Chapter 153: Our Intersecting Paths 2

May 18, 2023, Thursday, cloudy, 18~27°C.

6:00 AM.

Tang Song woke up from his sleep; sufficient sleep made him radiant and full of energy.

A smile appeared on his face.

Accompanied by the bank's arrival notification sound, he started a good mood for the day.

50 minutes of fasted cardio, breakfast, posture correction, washing up, skincare.

Everything was like a planned task, smooth and natural.

He looked at himself in the mirror.

Although his skin couldn't be called excellent, it had reached a normal standard; acne marks, dark circles, and pimples had basically disappeared, and his skin tone was even.

This was also the main reason why his appearance looked increasingly high.

Compared to before, it was equivalent to turning on a filter in reality; the biggest problem currently was that he wasn't white enough.

After all, his stratum corneum and pigmentation were innate; wanting to become white through acquired effort was really too difficult.

Immediately, Tang Song thought of Xiao Jing.

She was truly gifted, her skin glowing white—a standard cold-white skin tone.

If he could bind her as a partner and gain her skin-tone buff, he would absolutely take off.

It seemed he still had to find an opportunity to exchange fluids with her and see what buffs she carried.

He opened the system interface and entered the partner section.

【List of selectable partners:】

【None】

————————

【List of backup partners:】

【Zhao Yaqian】 【Progress: Couple, heavy fluid exchange】 【Buffs carried: Delicate skin, tall and long legs, excellent hair quality, beauty and skincare】

【Wen Ruan】 【Progress: Mutual affection, moderate fluid exchange】 【Buffs carried: Heart strengthening, metabolic rate optimization, flexible coordination, endurance enhancement】

Tang Song's gaze looked at the beautician friend's column, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Actually, the buffs carried by Qian Qian were also good; each one was a great help in improving his appearance and charm.

The two had experienced so much along the way, especially after the in-depth exploration the day before; she should have already made psychological preparations.

After this investment meeting was over, he would take her to Yanjing Tiancheng for a hearty ball game.

Thinking of this, Tang Song felt a surge of hot blood.

This was his first time, ball skills accumulated for 25 years, plus the system's blessing.

Beautician friend, how will you deal with this?

After tidying himself up, Tang Song picked up the phone on the bedside table and looked at it; there were a few unread messages.

【Xie Shu Yu: Activity Agenda. jpg】

【Xie Shu Yu: "Xiao Song, come to the company side in the morning. After we meet up, let's rehearse in the conference room, and we'll go over together in the afternoon."】

Tang Song clicked on the agenda to look; it was about the same as what she had mentioned before.

13:00~14:00, Guest check-in.

14:00~14:10, Host opening.

14:10~17:10, Project roadshow.

Afterward, there would be free communication, as well as the negotiation cocktail party in the evening.

This exchange meeting was hosted by an official platform and co-hosted by three large investment institutions.

There weren't many participating companies, all of which were local Yancheng enterprises that had been preliminarily screened by investment institutions.

It was mainly to promote the development and cooperation of Yancheng's local investment industry through publicity.

After replying to the message.

Tang Song carefully groomed his hairstyle and began applying foundation and concealer to make his skin tone more even and delicate.

He walked into the walk-in closet and put on the prepared 【Outfit - Passionate as the Sun】.

He looked at himself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

After all, he had a mission, so he had to go all out today!

Beicheng Garden.

Shen Yu Yan rarely slept until she woke up naturally.

Because she had to go on stage herself today, she had to ensure a sufficient mental state.

She ate a simple breakfast, took a fragrant hot shower, and applied a treasured mask.

Sitting in front of the computer, she began to recite the speech draft in a low voice.

After carefully going through the speech draft, Shen Yu Yan took out the clothes she bought yesterday and put them on.

White shirt, brown half-skirt, beige heels.

Then she applied full makeup, did her hair, and put on a pair of Van Cleef & Arpels earrings.

Picking up her tote bag, she took a taxi to the company.

Unlike the other two partners, her family background wasn't wealthy, and the initial capital for starting the business was also saved up by herself.

Plus, the company didn't make much money before, and there were no dividends.

So she still hadn't bought a car until now.

Of course, her taxi fare could be reimbursed.

Youjie Housekeeping was located in a commercial building along the street in Qiaoxi District.

The entire office building only had 7 floors, and over a hundred companies of all sizes were gathered inside.

Although the environment was average, the price was very suitable.

"President Shen, morning."

"Good morning."

Greeting colleagues along the way, Shen Yu Yan knocked directly on the manager's office.

Looking at the two people leaning against the window smoking and chatting inside, Shen Yu Yan's brows furrowed slightly subconsciously.

Yet she still smiled, "Tianqi, Shaoyuan, let's have a meeting and finalize the process for the negotiation meeting."

"Okay, right away." Zhang Tianqi awkwardly extinguished the cigarette in his hand.

"OK." Hou Shaoyuan made a gesture, looking at Shen Yu Yan's sexy and graceful figure, and praised, "Shen Yu Yan, this outfit looks really beautiful on you."

Closing the office door, Shen Yu Yan couldn't help but sigh.

She felt that for this investment meeting, it seemed only she was the most concerned in the whole company.

As for the reason, she could guess it.

People's passion would be extinguished; after experiencing the hard work of the early stages of entrepreneurship, most of the core team had lost their initial ambition.

Especially after the company's business stabilized and began to make a profit, Zhang Tianqi and Hou Shaoyuan's mindsets were completely different from the beginning.

They had wealthy family backgrounds and many choices; starting a business was more about wanting to prove themselves.

However, Shen Yu Yan was different from them; she had no way out.

If she failed, she could only continue to work for others, or marry a rich man.

From childhood to adulthood, she had always been the most eye-catching and brilliant one among her classmates.

Stepping into society, watching herself gradually become ordinary and dim, watching one outstanding alumnus after another shine, she really wasn't willing, nor did she allow herself to be submerged by the torrent of the mundane.

Resigning from a well-known foreign company and participating in entrepreneurship from 0 was her burning of the bridges.

She sacrificed her most precious two years of youth, not dating, not traveling, and giving up enjoyment—not for the sake of temporary stability, but to really see higher scenery.

That was why she had the thick skin to find Lu Ziming, took her to talk with the leaders of investment companies many times, and finally got this admission ticket.

As long as she could successfully obtain financing and gain the blessing of the investment institution's ecosystem, she had the confidence to scale up the business.

After accumulating a certain amount of capital, she would go look for better opportunities.

Perhaps one day in the future, she could also become a powerful woman like Jin Meixiao, surrounded by stars.

Including her attire and makeup today, she was deliberately imitating the "Director Jin style."

Of course, this was just a fantasy; she knew this possibility was even more outrageous than Xu Qing's.

After all, the world was so big, and there was only one of her.

Ten minutes later.

In the small conference room, the current core team of Youjie Housekeeping was all present.

General Manager Zhang Tianqi, Vice President Shen Yu Yan, seed investor Hou Shaoyuan, housekeeping service supervisor Li Meixia, technical supervisor Wang Ning.

All were alumni of Yancheng University of Technology, and all were company shareholders.

Of course, Li Meixia and Wang Ning were only minor shareholders, employees recruited through technical shares after the company stabilized, and their combined shares didn't exceed 10%.

Shen Yu Yan linked the screen and confirmed the process of the negotiation meeting one last time.

Then she said in a clear voice: "Comrades, this investment negotiation meeting is very important to us, and there will be official media coverage. Even if we don't reach a cooperation, we can still build our reputation.

The three investment institutions this time value the internet and technology fields very much.

Our company is a standard internet housekeeping service platform. Wang Ning, you must not be nervous after going on stage with me; you must perform well."

"Don't worry, Shen Yu Yan, I won't let you down." Wang Ning, wearing a formal suit, nodded vigorously, looking with fiery eyes at this white moonlight and school beauty from his student days.

He was looking forward to the moment of being on stage with her and shining before everyone.

For the roadshow this afternoon, he specifically bought an Armani suit and spent a lot of money to get a hairstyle.

Combined with the eloquence and social skills he had practiced since college, he was determined to show his face well in front of Shen Yu Yan. ===== CHAPTER 154 =====
