Chapter 255: Waving Wings
Yanjing Huating, Building 6.
"Mm, I'm going to Su Yu's concert tonight; the ticket was given by my boyfriend."
"Alright, thank you, Teacher Mengchu, you've worked hard."
"Bye-bye~, I'll treat you to a big meal when you're done with this training session."
Hanging up the phone.
Zhao Yaqian checked the time.
13:40.
The concert officially started at 8 o'clock in the evening, and one could enter the venue 1~2 hours in advance, so there was still plenty of time.
"Tap tap tap—" Zhao Yaqian, wearing slippers, walked quickly into an east-facing bedroom.
This place had been arranged by her as half a study.
In the corner, there was a small solid wood bookcase, as well as a height-adjustable desk and an ergonomic chair.
Opening the laptop, logging into WeChat, she began to carefully check the documents sent by Teacher Zhang Mengchu.
After experiencing the initial confusion and distress, Zhao Yaqian began to bite the bullet and search for the status and market development of the beauty industry on the Internet, as well as future trends.
However, this was clearly beyond her level, and the more she looked, the more confused she became.
In order to complete the task assigned by her boyfriend as soon as possible and not live up to his expectations.
Zhao Yaqian contacted the most authoritative person in her network.
As a teacher at Zhuoyue Vocational Training School, Zhang Mengchu had very rich industry experience and was very knowledgeable about the market.
After hearing Zhao Yaqian's intention, she was very enthusiastic and proactive.
"In the subdivided market, non-surgical light medical beauty is developing rapidly, with the market size expected to grow to 146.1 billion yuan in 2023, becoming an important driving force for industry growth. In addition, comprehensive beauty SPA..."
3:00 PM.
"Qian Qian! I'm back!" A familiar voice came from outside the door.
Zhao Yaqian yawned, rubbed her dizzy head, and said loudly: "Tingzi, I'm over here!"
Then she stood up and walked out.
She truly didn't like reading, especially looking at these complex market analysis materials; she felt her brain wasn't enough, and she had to keep checking things she didn't understand.
It seemed she still had to let her cousin and Seeing Xiao Xue help later.
Opening the bedroom door, she bumped into He Liting, who was running over.
"Our company is having a collective holiday this afternoon, Qian Qian, hurry up and start packing, putting on makeup, and changing clothes; we'll eat downstairs at 5 o'clock, and then we can set off."
"It's only 3 o'clock now, it wouldn't be too late if we set off at 6 o'clock, right? I still want to sleep for a while." Zhao Yaqian yawned again.
"How can you still sleep at this time! We are in the front row of the VIP inner field area! And there are super many people outside the Olympic Sports Center today; it's safer to go early." He Liting wasn't a star chaser, but being in such a lively environment at the company, it was easy to be infected.
"Alright, then I'll go put on makeup first."
"Together, today is a big day; I want to use your high-end beauty products, I believe the beautiful Qian Qian, who is beautiful and kind-hearted, definitely won't refuse, right?"
"Hehe, Zhao Meiren naturally won't refuse." Zhao Yaqian raised her fluffy eyebrows.
The two chatted and laughed as they came to the makeup table in the master bedroom cloakroom and began to get busy.
More than half an hour later.
He Liting applied lipstick evenly, turned around to look at her sexy and beautiful cousin, and thought about the upcoming concert.
Hesitating for a moment, she said: "Qian Qian, there's one thing I have to tell you in advance, you need to be mentally prepared."
"Ah? What is it?" Zhao Yaqian looked at her curiously.
He Liting bit her lip and whispered: "The colleagues going to the concert this time also include our company's vice president, Gao Mengting."
"Gao Mengting... is Song Ge's partner, right?"
"Mm, that's the one I told you about, she's the same age as Tang Song, and they have a very close relationship."
After saying that, He Liting looked at her cousin worriedly.
Although the invitations Tang Song gave were mostly separated, the distance between them wasn't far, and it was easy to run into each other.
Besides that President Gao, there was also the white-rich-beautiful girl she met at the barbecue restaurant; she didn't know if she would go tonight.
If they met, she didn't know what would happen.
Zhao Yaqian was silent for a moment and said: "Tingzi, don't tell others that I'm Song Ge's girlfriend when the time comes; just tell colleagues that I'm your cousin."
He Liting pursed her lips and said a soft "Mm," feeling a sigh in her heart.
Qian Qian had finally grown up and matured a bit; some things didn't need to be said very clearly for her to understand.
Zhao Yaqian's face quickly returned to a smile, she turned around in front of the mirror, her tone spoiled and cute: "Tingzi, I feel like the wine-red hair I dyed yesterday is especially beautiful; do you think Song Ge will be fascinated when he sees me?"
"Of course he will, seeing such a beautiful Qian Qian, he'll definitely wish he could push you down on the spot!"
"Hehe, Zhao Meiren is invincible in the world! Song Ge loves me the most!" Zhao Yaqian gave herself a wink in the mirror.
"Ding-a-ling—" The phone rang.
Zhao Yaqian picked it up to look and smiled at He Liting: "It's Seeing Xiao Xue, she should be done with work and coming over; we can just go to the concert together."
Yanjing Huating, Building 1, Large Open-Plan Apartment.
"Ding-dong—ding-dong—" The doorbell rang.
The nanny aunt looked at the screen and hurriedly opened the door, enthusiastically: "Ms. Qin, you're here, the young lady is waiting for you in the bedroom."
"Mm, thank you, Auntie Pei." Qin Hua changed into disposable slippers and came to a bedroom door and knocked: "Sorry Xiao Jing, open the door."
After a while, with a "click," the door lock was opened. "Coming."
Qin Hua looked suspiciously: "Why did it take so long to open the door, could it be that you were doing some messy things inside?"
Tian Jing patted her on the butt and pouted: "What are you thinking, I was just taking a few photos for my boyfriend."
"What photos, let me see." Qin Hua reached out directly.
Tian Jing's face instantly turned flushed red. "No! This is a little fun between us couples."
After saying that, she walked quickly to the bedside and held the phone in her hand.
Just now she left a message for Tang Song, saying she was wearing a particularly beautiful gold dress and would go to the concert scene in a while, asking if he was going tonight, wanting him to see it.
As a result, Tang Song directly asked her to send a few selfies, and he was very concerned about her inner layer.
Sorry Xiao Jing had no choice but to take off her leggings and excitedly took a few more photos.
She just happened to catch up with her best friend Qin Hua knocking on the door.
She checked the time and said in surprise: "Why are you here so early today, didn't we agree to meet at 5:30?"
Qin Hua sat on the chair casually, looked at her sweet and cute best friend, and said seriously: "Two things, the first thing, I've already talked to Zhang Wenbin, the vice president of sales, about Lu Ziyue's matter; she will be promoted to sales manager of the South China region next month."
"Thank you, Huahua, you've worked hard." Sorry Xiao Jing blinked and picked up her phone to tell Tang Song and Lu Ziyue respectively.
Before, Tang Song took her to meet his college classmate Lu Ziming and his sister Lu Ziyue.
After a period of chatting and getting along, she and Lu Ziyue could also be considered friends.
Although the other party hadn't made a request, she naturally understood what Lu Ziyue wanted as a smart person.
In fact, these years, the people she lacked the least were those like this, including some colleagues at Jinxiu Trading now.
However, Lu Ziyue was related to Tang Song, and the other party had helped Tang Song find a part-time job before, and her younger brother had also rented a house to Tang Song.
Sorry Xiao Jing was very attentive to this matter and had been trying hard to be a qualified girlfriend.
She had long asked her best friend Qin Hua, who worked in the president's office of Zhongcheng Group, to help arrange it.
As the daughter of a company shareholder and working in the president's office, Qin Hua naturally had many means to complete this small task.
In this way, Tang Song wouldn't owe the other party a favor, and conversely, it was the two siblings who should thank Tang Song.
Thinking of this, her mood became even better.
"Sorry Xiao Jing." Qin Hua patted her on the shoulder, her expression serious: "The second thing, Tian Guowen has been promoted again; he is now the CFO of Zhongcheng."
Sorry Xiao Jing replied casually while replying to messages: "Oh, it seems my cousin is performing well."
Qin Hua shook her head helplessly and said angrily: "I really don't know what to say about you; he will be promoted to vice president next, or even president
"So what? Anyway, I can only be the heir in my family; no matter how much he fights, my dad won't give him shares."
Qin Hua said seriously: "Xiao Jing, your dad only has you as a daughter, and your cousin is ambitious; he clearly wants to use the family name to build his own base in Zhongcheng. In the future, when your dad shifts his focus to Jinxiu Trading, I have reason to suspect that he will use his position to seek personal gain."
"Then what do you think I should do?" Tian Jing put down her phone and looked at her best friend.
Because her parents couldn't bear to see her suffer, she didn't go abroad to study at a prestigious school to gild herself like Qin Hua, but instead studied an easy major domestically and basically had no management talent.
Being a compensation supervisor now was enough to keep her busy.
And her cousin was a top student from Cambridge, the kind of academic genius who got in through his own efforts.
He is 32 years old this year, a young talent, highly valued by her father, who often praises him at home.
Qin Hua pursed her lips and said softly: "The best way is to find a husband who is well-matched in social status and has outstanding ability, such as the son of a high official; your two families can completely complement each other, and let him help you suppress Tian Guowen's ambition."
Tian Jing looked at her and said: "So that's what you meant; Huahua, you've changed; you didn't have so many twists and turns before."
Qin Hua shook her head, "You should consider it carefully; I'm doing this for your own good."
Tian Jing gave a "humph," "The ticket to Su Yu's concert was still given by my boyfriend; since that's the case, then you shouldn't go."
"Don't, don't, don't, I was wrong. Let's not talk about it, let's eat first, and then set off for the concert."
"Let's go, anyway, you are not allowed to persuade me to break up again in the future." Looking at her best friend, Tian Jing's eyes were a bit complicated.
The Qin Hua of the past was just like her, a two-dimensional enthusiast who spoke directly, and the two had a very good relationship.
But in the more than half a year since she returned from abroad, she has matured and also become complicated.
In fact, she knew very well that Qin Hua had her own little thoughts.
Different from her, Qin Hua had a younger brother below her, and she was very passive in inheriting the family property.
She hoped to use her power to gain a firm foothold in the Zhongcheng Group, which is why she persuaded her to fight her cousin for control of the Zhongcheng Group.
Thinking of this, Tian Jing couldn't help but sigh.
……
In the hallway outside Guangying Media.
Wen Ruan was chatting in a group with her best friends while walking to exercise her body.
With age increasing and metabolism decreasing, she had to do a lot of exercise every day to maintain a good figure.
The sound of "tap, tap, tap" footsteps rang out from behind.
Immediately after, her colleague Zhang Xintong came over, lowered her voice and said: "Sister Wen Ruan, have you heard? It seems our company is going to be acquired? When I was picking up a package downstairs, I heard two leaders chatting there; they are cooperating with a compliance investigation, and it seems someone will come to check in these two days."
Wen Ruan raised her eyebrows and shook her head: "I'm not clear, I haven't received any news yet."
She was just an ordinary employee and had no channels to obtain this information at all.
"Sigh!" Zhang Xintong sighed and said with some worry: "Such a good company, why would it be acquired? I hope there won't be layoffs."
Wen Ruan's gaze flickered slightly, and she asked in a low voice: "Xintong, have you ever considered changing jobs?"
In order to fight a delaying battle with her family, she had already decided to go to the Yancheng branch of Xingyun International to give it a try.
She had also contacted Zhao Mingying, intending to walk around with some old colleagues after arriving in the Imperial Capital, striving to implement this matter as soon as possible.
Zhang Xintong had been on the job for a year and had always served as an assistant specialist following her, and she was very satisfied with her.
If possible, she still hoped to take her along, which could be considered having a bit of her own base.
Zhang Xintong shook her head blankly, "I haven't considered it yet, I really like this job."
Then her heart skipped a beat, and she said in a suppressed voice: "Sister Wen Ruan, you... surely not?"
Wen Ruan didn't answer her directly, but smiled: "Let's go, we should return to our workstations. I'm going to get off work early later, I still have to go to the concert tonight, we'll talk about other things tomorrow."
"Oh, oh, okay, then tomorrow I'll go to Jinxiu Xincheng to find you, and we'll go to the train station together."
"Hmm." Wen Ruan nodded and walked toward the company entrance.
The two had just returned to their workstations.
Dense footsteps suddenly came from the entrance.
The colleagues glanced over, were all startled, immediately sat up straight, and began to work seriously.
Wen Ruan looked up and just saw a group of people in suits and leather shoes with solemn faces walking this way.
Besides the company's two big leaders, there were also several strangers.
Located in the C-position was a blonde, blue-eyed white beauty with exquisite features.
Wearing high heels, her height should be close to 185 centimeters.
Custom-made suit skirt, curvy figure, and a superb temperament.
The people around were all looking at her cautiously.
There was quite a feeling of standing out from the crowd.
Just at this moment, the footsteps paused.
Wen Ruan was stunned, discovering that the white beauty was looking at her.
Their eyes met, and she actually smiled at her in a friendly way.
She nodded slightly awkwardly, and her gaze looked at the computer screen again.
"Da, da, da—" The sound of high heels tapping rang out.
Immediately after, the dense footsteps rang out again, and their figures disappeared around the corner of the hallway.
In an instant, Wen Ruan felt gazes gathering toward her side.
In the small WeChat group, colleagues left messages one after another: "@Wen Ruan, do you know that foreigner? What is their background?"
Wen Ruan frowned and recalled for a while.
When she worked at Xingyun International before, she did come into contact with many foreigners, but she didn't have her in her impression.
Such an outstanding person, as long as you have seen her once, you would definitely never forget her.
Zhang Xintong next to her leaned into her ear and whispered: "Sister Wen Ruan, I heard there are many lesbians among foreigners, and your figure is so in line with their aesthetics; could it be that she has taken a fancy to you?"
Wen Ruan's eye twitched violently, and she slapped her on the head in annoyance, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Just kidding, don't be angry." Zhang Xintong covered her head and said excitedly in a low voice: "Sister Wen Ruan, do you think they might be here to talk about the acquisition with our company? If that's the case, with that foreign beauty's appreciation for you, maybe Sister Wen Ruan, you can directly get a promotion and a raise!"
"Uh..." Wen Ruan's heart skipped a beat, and she also realized this possibility.
Just at this moment, the phone on the table vibrated "buzz, buzz, buzz."
Wen Ruan picked it up and looked at it.
【Zhao Mingying】
Wen Ruan hurriedly stood up and walked out.
After walking out of the company entrance, she quickly answered the phone and said in a low voice: "Hello, Old Zhao, I'm here."
"Hello, Wen Ruan, I asked my colleagues in the legal department carefully. Currently, the branch company is already doing registration, and it will be established soon. There should be large-scale recruitment next month; this is a good opportunity."
"I understand."
"You organize your resume and send it to me; later I will go find President Ji, this matter should be eight or nine out of ten."
"Okay, thank you Old Zhao, I'll treat you to a drink later."
"Haha, okay, this time when you arrive in the Imperial Capital, it just so happens we can have a drink with the old colleagues from before, contact each other's feelings, and celebrate your return to Xingyun International."
The two chatted for a few more sentences about the branch position.
Zhao Mingying suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Let's not talk anymore! Something big happened on my end!"
"What big thing?" Wen Ruan asked curiously.
Zhao Mingying came over this time to cooperate with the media promotion for Su Yu's concert; could it be that something went wrong with the concert?
"The CEO of Tang Zong Entertainment is suddenly coming over! I can't slack off anymore, I have to hurry up and perform, bye."
"Bye."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Ruan checked the time.
It was already 2 o'clock in the afternoon; she had asked for 4 hours of leave in advance, and now she could get off work.
……
Yancheng Olympic Sports Center.
Zhao Mingying jogged a few steps and followed his colleagues to the backstage work hall.
The originally somewhat messy hall was now incomparably neat and clean, and everyone was working seriously.
As the CEO of Tang Zong Entertainment, he could also be considered one of the controllers of their Xingyun International.
Such a big figure rarely appeared backstage at a concert.
For ordinary employees like them, it was a huge matter and had to be treated with full readiness.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, they saw a group of security personnel escorting several people in.
The momentum was magnificent.
Zhao Mingying, who was looking at the documents in his hand, couldn't help but secretly look over sideways.
Leading the way was a very outstanding pair of man and woman.
¤ttkΛn¤Co
He was very familiar with that woman; he had seen her figure in countless industry news reports.
A former gold-medal agent, artist director, and now the CEO of Tang Zong Entertainment.
Beside her was a young man wearing a white shirt, jeans, glasses, and a hat.
He had a good figure, handsome features, a restrained and confident temperament, and no emotional fluctuations could be seen on his face.
Zhao Mingying smacked his lips, not knowing where this big figure had popped out from.
To actually be able to walk together with President Mo.
The group passed through the hall and walked straight toward the direction of the conference room.
Immediately after, the female secretary beside President Mo left the team and walked toward their direction.
Zhao Mingying hurriedly lowered his head and continued to "focus" on work, but his heart couldn't help but feel a bit nervous and uneasy.
An intellectual and capable voice came from the side: "President Zhao, you should go over there too, President Mo has some things to arrange."
Although his surname was also Zhao, this President Zhao naturally couldn't be referring to him.
But his big leader Zhao Siya, who was fully responsible for the promotion planning and media public relations for this concert.
Soon, the leader followed the female secretary and left.
Only then did Zhao Mingying breathe a sigh of relief and began to discuss and speculate with his colleagues next to him about the reason for the Tang Zong Entertainment CEO's visit.
…
"Dong, dong, dong—"
The door of the administrative office at the very end of the hallway was knocked on lightly.
"Come in!" A mature and calm female voice came.
Immediately after, a group of 3 people opened the door and walked in.
"President Mo!"
After they finished greeting, they immediately stood up straight, their gazes looking uneasily at the big BOSS sitting on the sofa.
They were all speculating about the purpose of the other party's visit.
Now, with only the last 5-plus hours left until the concert, everyone was on edge, fearing that some accident might occur.
Mo Xiang Wan, sitting on the sofa in the reception area, nodded lightly, her gaze swept over the 3 people, and she reached out to signal to her side: "This is Tang Song, Tang Zong; next, he will have some arrangements to hand over to you, and you must cooperate fully."
"Okay, President Mo!" "Received!"
The three nodded vigorously in a hurry, their gazes sweeping over the young man beside her intentionally or unintentionally.
His features were handsome, his temperament gentle and relaxed, and he was very charming.
Even sitting next to President Mo, he appeared very calm and composed.
"You guys introduce yourselves first." Mo Xiang Wan turned slightly, looked up at Tang Song's profile, and also placed the center of the office on him.
The three felt a jolt in their hearts and hurriedly said enthusiastically:
"Hello Tang Zong, I am the executive person in charge of this concert, Li Jiansong."
"Hello Tang Zong, I am the project director of the concert, Chen Wei."
"Hello Tang Zong, I am Zhao Siya from Xingyun Media, responsible for the concert's promotion planning and media public relations."
"The three of you sit down and let's talk." Tang Song nodded at them and reached out to signal.
The three first looked at Mo Xiang Wan's position, then immediately sat down on the sofa opposite.
Tang Song picked up the performance program on the coffee table and began to arrange in a low voice.
This Su Yu concert is divided into 6 parts, among which "Dream Echo" is the first song in the 4th part.
He needs to rehearse with the orchestra and the backing vocal group first to ensure the effect of the live performance.
Fortunately, the challenge task 【God-level Live Scene】 only requires completing one music performance live with Su Yu.
Tang Song is very confident in his guitar playing, and the musicians and backing vocals participating in this concert are the top teams.
He believes that as long as they communicate and rehearse a few times, they can hand in a satisfactory answer.
In addition, to ensure privacy, besides adjusting the stage lighting layout and camera direction, he also needs the media on site to ignore his existence.
And this is Xingyun International's work.
As one of the largest media groups in the country, Xingyun International possesses huge media resources and public relations capabilities.
…
In the dedicated rehearsal room backstage.
Soft and beautiful music kept ringing out.
Mo Xiang Wan looked at Tang Song, who was lightly plucking the guitar in the band, her gaze somewhat distracted.
She never expected that this cold, rational, meticulous, and unfathomable Tang Zong could actually do this for Su Yu.
As an agent and friend who has accompanied her for many years, Mo Xiang Wan knows Su Yu very well.
In her heart, Tang Song has already transcended the general meaning of a lover, more like a kind of spiritual sustenance and reliance.
She couldn't imagine what kind of state Su Yu would be in when she saw him appear on stage.
Looking at the news on her phone, Su Yu and the guest performers for this concert have arrived backstage and are doing warm-up preparations.
At this moment, Tang Song is only a few walls away from her, and they are about to meet.
Mo Xiang Wan pursed her lips and stepped forward to knock on the lounge at the very end.
Su Yu was lying on a lounge chair, half-squinting her long, narrow eyes, her graceful figure seemingly plated with a layer of thin light.
A temperament that didn't eat the food of mortals rushed toward her.
This is her habit; the more nervous she is, the more she likes to empty herself.
Noticing the approaching footsteps, Su Yu turned slightly, her thick long hair half-covering her beautiful swan neck, "Sister Xiang Wan."
"How is the preparation going?"
"No problem."
The two exchanged a few simple words.
Mo Xiang Wan looked at her eyes, which were as clear as spring water, and suddenly said: "Tang Zong will come to see your concert tonight; this is what he said himself."
Su Yu's body suddenly became stiff, and little tears flickered in her eyes.
After a moment, she closed her eyes gently, letting the tears slide down her fair cheeks.
