Chapter 166: Qin Yingxue, Luo Bin, Mo Xiang Wan

The Board of Directors office.

Tang Song sat in the soft, comfortable boss chair, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings.

The first impression was that it was large—the area was very spacious.

Besides the desk and bookshelves, there was a reception area, a private lounge, and a private conference room.

It was equivalent to a suite.

Just moments ago, accompanied by Zhang Chengyuan and the others, he had already gained a complete understanding of this office.

There were a total of 56 staff members on the payroll.

Most of them had been dispatched from the Xiangjiang headquarters.

This included various branch departments such as Trust Management, Investment, Risk Management, Finance, and Administration.

They could fully execute the decisions of the Trust Committee.

Of course, this so-called committee was essentially his own personal domain.

This trust company had been established for three years now.

Through the efforts of the trustee (Kate Trust) and the company's investment department, the annual rate of return had been maintained between 10% and 13%.

The annual net profit was over 12 million USD.

It certainly couldn't compare to large-scale trust institutions, but as a private family trust company, it was already considered medium-sized.

After deducting management fees, reserves, and operating expenses.

In recent years, over 20 million USD in earnings had been invested into charitable causes.

Because the office was located in Yancheng, these efforts were mainly concentrated in Yan Province.

They had helped many students in need, patients with illnesses, and special groups.

They had very good relationships with Yan Province officials and major universities.

This had also been the office's primary work content previously.

"Knock, knock, knock—" The heavy solid wood door was gently knocked.

Tang Song sat up straight and said in a clear voice, "Please come in!"

Immediately after, Zhang Chengyuan stepped inside.

He placed several documents in front of him, "Chairman Tang, these are the three beneficiary contract proposals drafted by the committee when the trust was established. Please take a look. Of course, you may modify the contract content as you wish."

Tang Song nodded and reached out to take them.

Zhang Chengyuan bowed to say goodbye and carefully closed the office door.

After briefly browsing through the four contracts, Tang Song had a rough understanding.

These corresponded to the three choices the system had given to Qian Qian.

The basic profit distribution was: 1 million, 1.5 million, and 2 million respectively.

In addition to this, there were incentive policies and comprehensive supporting services.

For example, the highest tier allowed for the enjoyment of many specific rights, health and leisure resources, as well as incentive support for education and career development.

It was very comprehensive.

However, the terms within were also very strict, with specific regulations regarding the beneficiary's private life, work, debt, and reputation. Once the beneficiary breached the contract, the distribution of benefits would be immediately suspended or reduced.

If a major breach occurred, in addition to immediate termination, the distributed benefits would also be clawed back.

This was not like an ordinary family trust; it was more like a management contract for a "lover."

In fact, this could be seen from the name itself.

"Slover"—the "lover" part meant exactly that.

In other words, the entire trust company existed to help him manage his lover relationships and serve both himself and the beneficiaries.

Tang Song hesitated for only a moment before making his decision.

A partner was simply too important, and it involved the assessment of charm points.

Even if she was currently thoughtful enough, loved him enough, and was kind enough, people would always change.

A 19-year-old beautician was simply too naive; she lacked a complete understanding of the world and human nature and was still in a growth phase.

In the future, she would come into contact with all sorts of people and various affairs.

After suddenly receiving a large sum of money, if there were no constraints, it would be hard to ensure she wouldn't go astray.

After all, in reality, even married couples had times when they turned against each other.

Although this contract was strict, it could also protect her well and prevent her from walking down the wrong path.

Having thought this through, the trace of guilt in Tang Song's heart disappeared.

He picked up the landline and dialed Zhang Chengyuan's office phone, beginning to arrange the signing for the first beneficiary.

There were some things he found inconvenient to say face-to-face; the best way was to entrust them to someone else.

…

At noon, Tang Song treated several of the company's managers to lunch to improve their mutual understanding.

Only then did he drive toward the Yunxi Building.

After parking the car in the underground garage, Tang Song stepped out.

While locking the car, he subconsciously looked back.

The snow-white Bentley Continental, lurking in the dim basement, appeared exceptionally striking, like an intellectual and elegant beauty.

His fingers brushed over the exquisite car emblem, and Tang Song carried his briefcase toward the elevator lobby.

Not far away, the door of a black Volvo opened, and one man and two women stepped out.

Tang Song's gaze paused as he saw Lin Mu, who had stepped out from the back seat.

She was wearing a standard OL uniform: a light pink linen shirt, a knee-length pencil skirt, flesh-colored stockings, and high heels.

The clothes fit her body perfectly.

With her curvy figure and long legs, her waist swayed gently as she walked, looking tall and enchanting.

Tang Song lingered on her excellent waist-to-hip ratio for a moment before smiling and walking into the elevator lobby.

Since returning from the investment negotiation meeting, Tang Song had chatted with her on WeChat a couple of times, but seeing that she didn't have much of a reaction, he didn't contact her again.

While waiting for the elevator, Lin Mu and the other two walked in, chatting and laughing.

"I heard the other flavors at this grilled fish restaurant are also good. Mu, how about we go eat there again tomorrow? Let's try the sauce flavor you're interested in." Gu Cheng stood with good posture, his voice magnetic, appearing refined and elegant.

Li Xue patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "Brother Gu, what do you mean by this? Are you not planning to bring me along?"

Gu Cheng adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Xue, I'll treat you to cake this afternoon, give me some face."

"Fine, then I won't be the third wheel."

Lin Mu carried her bag in front of her and said with some regret, "Sorry, Brother Gu, I'm taking a day off tomorrow."

Because the "199 Yuan Skin Worry-Free Exclusive Care" she had snapped up in the Yisha Beauty Salon member group was a special offer package, it could only be used on Tuesday mornings.

It just so happened that she hadn't taken her sick leave for this month yet, so she planned to take the day off tomorrow and do a comprehensive treatment while she was at it.

Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment and smiled, "Then let's do it another day."

"Ding—" The elevator door slowly opened.

The people in the elevator lobby walked in one after another.

Lin Mu subconsciously stood to the side and slung her bag over her shoulder.

Immediately after, her gaze lifted slightly, and she saw a familiar figure beside her.

"Hmm?" Her voice carried surprise and doubt.

She looked with astonishment at the young man who had suddenly appeared before her.

Breathing in the familiar scent of perfume, Tang Song smiled and nodded at her, though he didn't say anything.

Lin Mu pursed her lips.

Being close to him, she could clearly smell the pleasant scent on him.

Looking at his high-bridged nose and well-defined lips, her heart skipped a beat.

Watching the two of them looking at each other, Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows, smiled, stood in front of Lin Mu, and said softly, "Mu, I just noticed that your eyeshadow today is very beautiful—light, elegant, and fresh. It's very natural and matches your clothes today perfectly."

This man in the white shirt looked really good; at least he was younger and more handsome than him, and he subconsciously felt a sense of inexplicable crisis.

"Thank you for the compliment, Brother Gu." Lin Mu smiled politely.

Hesitating for a moment, she turned slightly and said, "What a coincidence. Are you here at the Yunxi Building for work?"

Tang Song shook his head, "Actually, we've met here before. I work here on the 30th floor; the Weiguang Coffee shop is just a part-time job."

Lin Mu was stunned, and a faint image flashed through her mind.

No wonder she felt he looked familiar back at the Hongfu Breakfast Shop; they must have bumped into each other at the Yunxi Building before.

"Weiguang Coffee?" Gu Cheng looked Tang Song up and down for a while.

Previously, when the executives from Weiguang Coffee came to Rongxin Venture Capital for a meeting, he was one of the reception staff, and he had a deep impression of that mature and intellectual Manager Xie.

Li Xue also leaned over and said with pleasant surprise, "Hello, handsome. Do you remember me?"

Tang Song nodded at her, "Of course, the beauty at the registration desk during the negotiation meeting—I have a deep impression."

Li Xue sighed, "I heard my colleagues talking about you later. Your performance at the live roadshow was super awesome; you shocked a whole group of big shots!"

Listening to their conversation, the roadshow from that afternoon also flashed through Lin Mu's mind.

Looking at Tang Song in front of her, her peripheral vision suddenly caught something shiny.

Immediately after, her entire attention shifted to his left wrist.

Under the cover of his sleeve, a somewhat familiar wristwatch came into view.

As a senior luxury goods researcher who had spent years hanging out in various socialite groups, she quickly matched it in her mind.

Patek Philippe, a complex chronograph wristwatch, priced at over one million yuan.

Her gaze instantly became somewhat complex.

Although she hadn't checked it carefully, combining it with Tang Song's situation, she could roughly guess that this should be a high-quality replica.

Back when she worked as a part-time model, in order to make herself look decent, she had bought a few cheap A-grade replicas online.

However, after being exposed and ridiculed by others in public, she never did that again.

Either she would rent things with others to take photos, or she would save money to buy them.

That sense of shame and humiliation made her feel like she had no place to hide, and it still lingered to this day.

It also drove her to constantly chase after luxury goods, wanting to make herself look bright and beautiful.

"Ding—" The elevator stopped on the 19th floor.

Gu Cheng waved his hand, "Mu, Xue, we're here. Let's go."

Lin Mu nodded at Tang Song and stepped out.

The elevator door slowly closed, and the fresh, moist fragrance still lingered in the elevator, like the scent of air after rain.

Tang Song withdrew his gaze from her sexy back and raised his hand to check the time.

13:30.

Ever since reaching the final step with his beautician friend and venting 25 years of pent-up energy on her, his mindset had become much more peaceful.

Encountering this fated little Xue again, his state of mind also underwent subtle changes.

Walking out of the elevator lobby, Tang Song didn't go directly to Songmei Apparel but turned and walked into Room 3006.

"Bang, bang, bang!" "Knock, knock, knock!"

From time to time, it was accompanied by the harsh sound of friction.

The staff from Huiguang Decoration were busy with the soft furnishings.

After completing the task 【Successful Premiere】, he had received 1 million yuan in renovation funds.

Tang Song had signed the renovation contract with Huiguang Decoration last week.

Because the hard renovation specifications were already very high, the soft furnishing part saved a lot of money, with the most expensive part being the three live-streaming rooms.

"Chairman Tang! You're here!" The on-site construction manager, Wang Dongliang, trotted over, his face creased with smiles, appearing very enthusiastic.

"Wang Jingli, good afternoon." Tang Song wore a warm smile, looked around, and praised, "The progress is very fast; the lights, tables, and chairs have all been installed."

Wang Dongliang grinned widely and said happily, "We just renovated 3001 and 3002 a while ago, and because the specifications are the same, we saved a lot of effort. By the way, Chairman Tang, the K1 live-streaming room has already started being stocked. Shall I take you to see it?"

"Let's go!" Tang Song was very concerned about his company's first official live-streaming room.

The two arrived at the northeast corner, pushed open the soundproof door, and what met their eyes was a spacious area of over 70 square meters.

The walls and ceiling were in a white and gold color scheme, looking very high-end.

On the floor were some exquisite and beautiful decorations, ornaments, and lighting fixtures.

"The live-streaming area, product display area, makeup area, and logistics area—each area should have enough space, using ornaments to divide them to avoid crowding and ensure the live-streaming process is smooth and error-free. Also, over here..."

Wang Dongliang accompanied him, bowing slightly, extending his dark-skinned palms to gesture for Tang Song.

For this owner of the 30th floor of the Yunxi Building, he really wanted to make friends, but unfortunately, the other party didn't seem to care much, coming only once every few days, leaving him no chance to curry favor.

Just at this moment, a crisp system prompt sounded.

"Ding! You have triggered the challenge task 【Shocked Employees】. Please go to the Task Center to view it."

Tang Song was slightly stunned, opened the system interface, and viewed the task details.

【Task Content: Songmei Apparel is gradually getting on the right track, the company's profit model has been verified, and everything is developing in a better direction. Challenge yourself to create a perfect live-streaming room, designing the technical equipment, set, color decoration, and interactive display in an all-around way to give the company's employees a massive shock. Enhance employees' sense of belonging and loyalty to better motivate them to work.】

【Task Reward: Shock Gift Pack *1】

【Note 1: The size of the gift pack is positively correlated with the level of shock the employees feel after walking into the live-streaming room.】

【Note 2: A perfect live-streaming room is not necessarily the most luxurious, but it is definitely the most suitable for you.】

Moving his thoughts away from the system panel, he looked at Wang Dongliang, who was still gesturing enthusiastically.

Tang Song interrupted directly, "Wang Jingli, I've seen the previous design drawings for the K1 live-streaming room, but now I have new ideas. I want your company to help redesign it. According to our live-streaming needs, pull the specifications to the max."

Wang Dongliang was stunned and said with some difficulty, "Chairman Tang, that's no problem, of course, since the renovation hasn't started yet, but..."

"I understand. I will tell your Manager He about this. I will pay the increased budget on time, and we can sign a supplementary renovation agreement contract."

Wang Dongliang instantly breathed a sigh of relief, "No problem! Then we'll renovate K2 and K3 first, and wait for the design draft for this side before doing it."

"Okay." Tang Song nodded.

After walking around inside again, the two walked out of the live-streaming room.

Immediately after, they heard a somewhat intense conversation.

"Brother Zhang, we've been working together for so long; you know the craftsmanship of our company's workers best!"

"Liu Mingchang! What's the use of you hanging around here? I've already told you, this is a decision by our company's leadership!"

"Brother Zhang, please don't be angry. You know our company's situation; if we lose this outsourcing job, we really won't be able to hold on for much longer."

…

"Chairman Tang, sorry about this. There's a small work matter to handle here. Please wait a moment." Wang Dongliang explained and walked quickly toward that side.

"Little Zhang, don't you know Chairman Tang is here? Why are you making such a racket?" Wang Dongliang's face was gloomy, his head held high and chest out.

His not-so-tall body looked exceptionally imposing at this moment.

Little Zhang apologized awkwardly, looking at Liu Mingchang opposite him with great disgust.

"Wang Jingli! You remember me, right? Liu Mingchang from Zhichang Wallpaper. I was previously the wallpaper subcontractor under our Huiguang Decoration Construction Group 3. I want to ask, why were we suddenly kicked out?"

Liu Mingchang's tone was very urgent; small workshops like theirs just followed these big companies to make a living.

If they lost such a large piece of business, life would be really hard from now on.

Wang Jingli said unceremoniously, "Isn't changing outsourcing companies very common? If you have any objections, go find our Marketing Department leadership. This is a construction site; don't make trouble here."

Liu Mingchang's face turned pale, his lips trembled, wanting to say something but not daring to speak.

Just at this moment, the sound of "tap, tap, tap" footsteps approached.

Immediately after, a clear male voice sounded from the side: "Long time no see, Brother, do you remember me?"

Hearing the voice, Wang Jingli's face changed, and he said nervously, "Chairman Tang, you know... Old Liu?"

Liu Mingchang looked at the young man who had suddenly appeared, his eyes full of doubt.

Tall, handsome, decently dressed, full of presence.

For such a figure, as long as he had seen him, he would definitely have an impression.

Tang Song revealed a big smile, looked at him, and said, "Taiping River Happy Island, parking lot, Wuling Hongguang. You helped me reverse the car at that time."

Liu Mingchang's mouth gradually widened, and he said in disbelief, "So it... it's you!"

He had a deep impression of that young man who drove a Wuling Hongguang S and brought along a pure-looking girl with long legs. (Chapter 34)

It was also because of the stimulation at that time, plus a few arguments with his girlfriend later, that he finally broke up completely and let go of that former "white moonlight."

However, he couldn't reconcile that plain-looking young man with the young man in front of him.

Tang Song nodded at him, then looked at Wang Dongliang and said, "Wang Jingli, this is my friend."

Wang Dongliang's lips twitched, and he quickly said, "Since he's Chairman Tang's friend, then he's a friend of our Huiguang Decoration. Old Liu, I'll go provide feedback on your matter in a moment. Zhichang Wallpaper's work has always been excellent; you are our outstanding partner!"

A flush of excitement rose on Liu Mingchang's face, "Thank you, Chairman Tang! Thank you, Wang Jingli!"

Tang Song patted his shoulder cordially, "Brother Liu, do you want to go to my office and sit for a while?"

Liu Mingchang hesitated for only an instant before nodding immediately, "Then I'll disturb you."

Such a good opportunity to get to know such a big shot—he really didn't want to miss it.

……

Juhua Building.

Quanjing Law Firm.

Lawyer Luo Bin slowly put down his phone and rubbed his forehead hard, feeling somewhat anxious.

A new storm had already been generated.

One Mo Xiang Wan in Yancheng wasn't enough; Qin Yingxue had actually run over from Shencheng as well.

Chairman Tang, oh Chairman Tang!

This canary of yours is probably going to be intimidated by birds of prey, and twice over! ===== CHAPTER 167 =====
