Chapter 288: Wen Wen Ruan Returning to Guangying Media

Yanjing Yanjing Huating.

The text on the system light screen slowly dissipated.

Tang Song subconsciously sat up straight, a smile of surprise and joy appearing on his face.

Charm rating exceeding 60—every improvement was difficult.

This could be considered an unexpected joy.

In fact, ever since the 【Cognitive Awakening】 task was triggered, reading had been retained as a good habit.

Coupled with the support of the two props 【Ginkgo Bookmark】 and 【Tang Song's Glasses】, his personal quality and cognition had been steadily improving.

This Charm +1 should also be related to these; it could be considered self-upgrading through subtle influence.

However, it was precisely because of this that he felt fear.

In fact, this was not a bad thing.

People should maintain a fear of the unknown; this fear was not a negative emotion that made one hesitate, but a kind of awe stemming from the world and a clear understanding of one's own limitations.

Rubbing the beautician's wine-red long hair hard, Tang Song let out a long breath.

"Woo—" Zhao Zhao Yaqian let out a sudden low hum, followed by a difficult swallow.

After a while, she raised her head, her smile like a flower: "Brother, do you feel that I've improved a lot?"

"Baby is truly amazing." Tang Song praised sincerely.

Zhao Zhao Yaqian licked her lips: "I'll go wash up first, I'll be back soon."

After speaking, she twisted her perky buttocks and walked toward the bathroom with her long legs.

He opened the 【Warehouse】 to check the details of the reward he just obtained.

【Tang Song's Mask】: A prop for the player Tang Song to conceal his true self in the game. After use, you will be able to project yourself into a disguised role according to your wishes, helping you understand a complex and multifaceted self (Insight +1).

【Note: Life is like a painting; the background color is the foundation, determining the tone of the whole painting. And the mask is the filter, determining the appearance presented by this scroll.】

After reading the item introduction, Tang Song's lips pressed together, his gaze flickering slightly.

【Insight +1】 had already determined the rarity of this item, but what truly made him care were the six words "conceal his true self."

With the increase in charm rating, he seemed to have gained more permissions.

For example, 【Memory's Light Feather】, and 【Tang Song's Mask】.

He was getting closer and closer to knowing the truth.

"Ding-dong—" A WeChat notification sounded.

【Wen Wen Ruan: "Are you free this Friday at noon? My aunt's cousin is moving; if you're free, would you like to accompany me to have a meal?"】

【Wen Wen Ruan: "Don't feel pressured; if you want to go, go; if you don't want to, don't, it's fine."】

Seeing this message, Tang Song couldn't help but smile and quickly replied: "No problem."

This older sister had truly opened her heart; she was introducing him to her relatives and friends.

【Wen Wen Ruan: "That's good, then come to Oasis Garden first, sit at my place for a while, and then we'll go over together."】

So this was finally meeting the parents!

Tang Song, experiencing this kind of thing for the first time, was somewhat nervous.

After chatting with Wen Wen Ruan for a few more sentences, he exited the chat interface.

Tang Song looked at the unread messages on WeChat.

Most were from work groups, including Jinxiu Trading, Songmei Apparel, and Juqing Juqing Hui Jin.

Speaking of which, the due diligence for Fanfu Suzi Culture Media Company was starting the day after tomorrow.

The other party had already prepared all the materials for finance, business, assets, human resources, etc.

Because the elite talent he transferred from Juqing Juqing Hui Jin, along with the concerted cooperation of Quanjing Law Firm, was involved.

Such a top-tier due diligence team was enough for a group-type enterprise.

For a small media company, four or five days at most would be enough to get to the bottom of it.

It really did feel a bit like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

But this was his first external investment, after all; a smooth and perfect beginning would give him more confidence.

Thinking for a moment, Tang Song opened the WeChat of Zhang Chengyuan, the person in charge of Juqing Juqing Hui Jin in Yancheng, sent Wen Wen Ruan's information over, typed a message, and began to arrange the subsequent trust signing matters.

After inheriting the assets this time, Juqing Juqing Hui Jin received another capital injection of 50 million USD.

Correspondingly, the beneficiary's treatment would also be more comprehensive and richer.

For example, when the beneficiary reached specific life stages (such as marriage, childbirth, home purchase, education, etc.), they would also receive additional property distribution.

It even included some service clauses for the beneficiary's parents.

After sending the message, just as he was about to put down his phone, a new message popped up.

【Jinxiu Trading-Li Li Junyi: "President Tang, the weather is nice this weekend, are you free? A friend and I opened a motorcycle club near the ancient city, and we plan to invite everyone for a short-distance ride and gather there. I've counted in the group, there are tons of pretty girls this time."】

【Jinxiu Trading-Li Li Junyi: Fengchi Diance Riding Club. map】

【Jinxiu Trading-Li Li Junyi: Environment Photo. jpg】

…

Clicking on the club's photos to take a look, the decoration had a lot of atmosphere.

The leisure area was very large, spacious, and comfortable, with coffee, desserts, entertainment facilities, etc., inside.

Besides that, there was also a workshop full of modern industrial style.

It could be considered a very professional motorcycle club.

Thinking for a moment, Tang Song replied: "Sure, no problem."

This could also be considered a new hobby he cultivated.

He had obtained the 【Motorcycle Driving Experience Book】 for a month, but because he was quite busy, he hadn't really ridden much.

He would handle the work well in the next few days.

Bring his camera, ride his motorcycle, and go out to relax properly.

Relieve the tight emotions of late.

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

【Jinxiu Trading-Li Li Junyi: "Alright, I'll arrange it!"】

"Clatter-clatter-clatter" footsteps rang out.

Zhao Zhao Yaqian, having finished washing up, walked over quickly and tackled Tang Song onto the bed.

Her plump, well-proportioned wine-glass legs pressed against his sides.

Zhao Zhao Yaqian's nimble tongue licked her lips, swaying her body, expectant: "Brother, I brushed my teeth 3 times, they are already very clean. It's just that my body is burning, can you help me treat it?"

Tang Song threw his phone aside, hugged the beautician's long legs, and stood up from the bed.

He patted her buttocks and smiled: "The weather is quite cool today, let's go to the balcony to blow some wind."

Zhao Zhao Yaqian shouted excitedly, kissing his neck: "Okay, Brother."

……

Qiaoxi District, Zhuxi Residential Complex.

"Senior Sister, stop for a moment, I'm going to the supermarket to buy something."

"Screech—" The Wuling Hongguang stopped at the side outside the south gate.

"Eh, Cheng Qiuqiu, take the umbrella!"

"No need, it's not many steps."

In the hazy rain and mist, Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu, wearing a T-shirt and jeans, waved at Gao Gao Mengting with her back turned.

"Thump-thump-thump—" Her footsteps stepped steadily into the rainwater; she seemed to enjoy the feeling of being rained on.

Gao Gao Mengting leaned on the seat, looking at this junior sister's back, lost in thought.

On the way from Yunxi Building to Zhuxi Garden, it actually just happened to pass by the Chengjing Business Building where Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu was.

She had suggested before that if the time was right, she would pick her up after work to go home together.

But she was directly refused by this junior sister.

During the time they rented together, she understood boundaries very well and always did more than she said.

She deliberately avoided the time for washing up and going to the bathroom with her.

After eating the fruit and snacks she bought, she would definitely return them the next day.

The relationship between the two had always been stuck in a state of familiarity yet distance, similar to when they were in school.

However, after experiencing Su Yu's concert, this state was thoroughly broken.

She began to confide in her about some troubles at work, distress in social interactions, and confusion in emotions.

Especially in the last week, she also began to follow her and start reading every day.

The relationship was also becoming closer and closer.

That Li Jingzhong was the trouble she had mentioned quite a few times.

As the vice president of Yancheng Inspiration Brand Design Co., Ltd., Li Jingzhong, who was only 35 this year, was undoubtedly very outstanding.

Ever since Cheng Qiuqiu started her internship, he had taken very good care of her.

Initially, Cheng Qiuqiu, who was somewhat slow in emotions, didn't notice anything unusual.

It wasn't until she graduated and became a regular employee that this President Li proposed letting her be his assistant and invited her to eat and go shopping together many times.

Out of the favor she received at the beginning, Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu couldn't refuse directly and could only use various excuses to stall.

Catching up with the rain today, in order to refuse the other party's good intentions, she moved herself out.

This also showed that the relationship between the two was getting better and better.

Just as she was deep in thought.

With a "click," the car door was pulled open.

Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu, whose body was wet, sat in, holding a shopping bag in her arms.

The car started slowly, drove into the residential complex gate, wandered for a while, and barely found a parking area in a narrow place.

Old residential complexes were like this; parking spaces were all on the ground and were public parking spaces.

As long as you registered, you could park anywhere; when it rained, parking spaces would be very tight.

Locked the car.

Took the elevator directly to the 12th floor.

Gao Gao Mengting took the key out of her bag and was just about to open the door of 1202.

The door next to it was suddenly pushed open.

Immediately after, Jasmine, wearing a small camisole, walked out from inside.

She smiled and patted Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu on the shoulder: "QQ, you're finally back."

"Good evening, Jasmine."

Jasmine pointed to the door of 1203: "Do you want to come in and play for a while? Liu Wenning and Zhou Dongbing are writing a new song inside; I think the melody is super great."

"No thanks, have fun." Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu shook her head calmly.

Seeming to see that her mood wasn't very good, Jasmine didn't say anything more, turning instead to say: "There's a riding activity in the group this Saturday, going to the club near the ancient city; let's go together as the White Knight Band! The atmosphere at the club is quite good, and the boss even invited us to perform live; there's an appearance fee, it's double the previous one!"

As she spoke, Jasmine's eyes became bright.

Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu was silent for a moment, nodding: "Fine, then let's go together."

"OK, it's a deal!" Jasmine snapped her fingers, said goodbye to the two, and turned back into the room.

"Creak—" The door of 1202 was opened.

The living room was pitch black.

Turning on the lights, the two changed their shoes in the entryway.

Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu suddenly raised the red shopping bag in her hand and said with a smile: "Senior Sister, accompany me to drink a little?"

"Sure." Gao Gao Mengting pushed Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu: "You go change your clothes first, don't catch a cold."

"Mm." Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu nodded and walked into her small bedroom.

A few minutes later.

Quite a few things were placed on the small coffee table in the living room.

Pickled chicken feet, potato chips, spicy strips, peanuts, preserved fruit…

Several bottles of cocktails with different flavors were also placed on both sides.

Opening the window, a cool breeze mixed with the scent of rain permeated in.

The two moved the coffee table to the balcony, moved small stools, and sat down beside it.

"Clink—" Glass bottles touched.

Soft lights spilled down, dyeing the surrounding space in a warm and blurry atmosphere.

Neither of them said much.

Just blowing the wind, drinking, and eating messy snacks.

After an unknown amount of time.

Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu, somewhat tipsy, stood up from the stool and took out an acoustic guitar from the room.

Sitting in the corner of the balcony, her body leaned against the wall.

Her fingers plucked the strings casually, and she began to sing to herself.

"BGM: If you can hold on, don't let go; if you can embrace, don't pull away; time is rushing to wash away…"

Listening to the junior sister singing "Time Thief," looking at her figure in the interlaced light and shadow.

Gao Gao Mengting felt a thousand emotions in her heart.

She herself was a very emotional person who could empathize well.

For some reason, from this junior sister, she could always feel a faint sadness and cold loneliness.

It seemed that in her heart, she hid many things she was unwilling to express to others.

"BGM: Who let~, time is something that catches people off guard; sunny with wind, cloudy with rain…"

Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu's voice was very delicate, and her singing was very moving.

Gao Gao Mengting just sat on the small stool, listening to her sing 3 songs quietly.

10:00 PM.

The two simply tidied up the living room and washed up to sleep.

Gao Gao Mengting had just taken off her pants.

"Knock-knock-knock" knocking sounded.

Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu's voice came from outside the door: "Senior Sister, I want to chat with you."

"Come in." Gao Gao Mengting gently opened the bedroom door.

Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu, holding a pillow, walked in: "Thanks, Senior Sister."

The lights were turned off, and the two somewhat tipsy people fell onto the bed.

Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu looked at the ceiling in the darkness, her tone complex: "My mom said she wants to come to Yancheng to see me."

"Mm?" Gao Gao Mengting blinked: "Isn't this a good thing? Just stay here for a few days, take time off to accompany her around, and let yourself relax."

Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu sighed: "I hate her very much and don't want to see her. It's also because of this reason that I chose Yancheng for university and stayed after graduation."

"Why?" Gao Gao Mengting turned to look at her, realizing the problem with this junior sister.

Also, she had been living here for so long, and she had never seen her video call or phone her parents.

Every day, besides work, it was painting, playing guitar, and reading.

Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu turned to her side, closed her eyes, her tone somewhat dim: "I lived with my grandma in the countryside since I was a child, and I also attended the village elementary school…"

Under her intermittent narration, Gao Gao Mengting gradually understood the sequence of events.

When she was 3 years old, her father died after falling from the 30th floor while working at a construction site.

Her mother threw her to her grandma's place in the countryside and stayed in the city to work and live, only returning to see her occasionally.

Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu, a left-behind child who lacked parental companionship since childhood, established an incomparably deep relationship with her grandma.

It wasn't until the year she graduated from elementary school that her mother picked her up to study in Rongcheng.

It was also there that she fell in love with Su Yu, who was still in the Echo band.

In her third year of junior high, her grandma suddenly became seriously ill and needed a large sum of money for surgery because she was old.

The surgical risk was also very high, and it wasn't certain it could be done well.

Her uncle was unwilling to pay, and her grandma didn't have any savings.

Cheng Qiuqiu knew that when her father died, the company paid a large sum of money to the family.

So she begged her mother to pay this money, promising to pay her mother back after she worked and earned money in the future.

But in the end, no one cared about her opinion.

Her grandma still closed her eyes in pain.

From then on, she fell into depression and pain, becoming increasingly isolated.

It was also during that time that Su Yu fell into the Black Sea controversy.

As her idol Su Yu walked out of the mud and shone brightly, she gradually recovered a little.

However, she still had an unhealable rift with her mother.

Her mother wanted her to get into a prestigious university, stand out, and earn big money.

She chose the art direction instead.

Her mother wanted her to stay in Sichuan Province, stay in Rongcheng.

She chose Yancheng, which was very far away.

During university, she didn't take a penny from home.

All tuition and living expenses were earned by herself.

Now that she had graduated, she didn't want to return to Rongcheng anymore; her biggest goal now was to earn money.

Once she earned enough money, she would carry her bag and travel alone.

Listen to Su Yu's concert, see those places in her grandma's childhood stories.

Perhaps it was the alcohol rising, or perhaps she was sleepy; Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu closed her eyes and murmured in Sichuan dialect: "Grandma, I miss you so much."

Gao Gao Mengting let out a breath, couldn't help but reach out and gently hug this junior sister, whispering to comfort her.

……

July 4, 2023, Tuesday, sunny, 23~32c.

After a rain, the air in Yancheng was fresh and cool.

"Itchy…" Gao Gao Mengting's eyebrows wrinkled, and she opened her hazy eyes.

What came into view was orange-brown long hair.

Gao Gao Mengting gradually woke up.

Scenes from last night appeared in her mind.

Lowering her head to take a glance, her face instantly became somewhat strange.

She always had the habit of sleeping naked; last night, she felt uncomfortable while sleeping, and coupled with drinking, she took off all her clothes directly. Seeing the junior sister's bulging D-cup, she couldn't help but feel a little envious; this gap was still quite large.

Feeling the movement, Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu also slowly woke up from her dream.

Yawning, she opened her eyes and saw the B-cup right in front of her.

"Uh…" She hurriedly let go of her hand, looking at Gao Gao Mengting, somewhat blushing: "Senior Sister, good morning."

Clearly, she was wearing a T-shirt last night; how did she wake up to a naked Senior Sister?

Could it be that Senior Sister also had problems?

"Good morning Cheng Qiuqiu." Gao Gao Mengting smiled and patted her head: "I'm used to sleeping naked, don't mind."

"It's fine, it's fine, then I'll go cook, Senior Sister you wash up first." Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu said, holding the pillow, slipped out, and closed the door hard.

She hadn't had many good friends since she was a child, especially after that incident; she had never been so intimate with anyone else. Her heart was inexplicably happy, yet somewhat resistant.

Gao Gao Mengting shook her head, picked up the clothes by the bedside, and began to put them on.

Washing up, putting on makeup, eating.

Before leaving, Gao Gao Mengting patted her junior sister: "Cheng Qiuqiu, I think you should talk to your mother properly."

This junior sister clearly had some psychological problems; if possible, she still hoped the other party could find happiness.

"Senior Sister, I understand what you mean, but the things inside are very complicated, I…" Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu pressed her lips together, lowering her head in silence.

"Alright, we'll chat slowly in the future; I'm leaving first, you also remember not to be late."

"Bye."

"Bye~"

The door was gently closed.

Gao Gao Mengting shook her head and walked downstairs quickly.

Soon, the high-spirited Wuling Hongguang S drove out of Zhuyuan Residential Complex facing the morning sun.

Yunxi Building.

"Morning, President Gao!"

"Morning."

"Good morning, President Gao!"

…

Gao Gao Mengting had a soft and beautiful smile on her face, constantly greeting every colleague she met.

With the end of the expansion period of Songmei Apparel, the number of employees had approached 70.

The originally empty and cold office area also became lively.

"Gao Mengting, over here!" Suddenly, a magnetic male voice came from one direction.

Gao Gao Mengting turned her head following the sound and saw him in a leisure area.

Tang Song was leaning on the back of the sofa, chatting with several new colleagues.

Wearing business-casual summer clothes, hair fluffy, full of energy, with black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

His slightly raised chin and thin lips with a smile made him look tall and confident.

Having not seen each other for over a week, this partner was still so charming.

Seeing the smile on his face and feeling the vigorous spirit on him, her mood improved a lot.

It felt like no difficulty could stop their progress.

Maybe she could introduce Cheng Qiuqiu to her partner later; perhaps it would also help her walk out of the shadows of the past.

A bright smile appeared on Gao Gao Mengting's face.

She walked over with light steps, first greeting several new colleagues dug from the Imperial Capital.

Then she patted Tang Song on the shoulder, sat down beside him, and joined their chat.

With the end of the company structure adjustment, new work tasks were about to begin.

Besides team integration, it was also necessary to adjust department settings, optimize functional division, and reallocate permissions based on their specific business.

Keep the company at maximum efficiency as much as possible, reducing unnecessary friction and internal friction.

Tang Song had already prepared plans for these; the next step was the specific implementation phase.

Because he still had to participate in the due diligence of Fanfu Suzi, work would be quite busy, so specific work still had to be arranged for Gao Gao Mengting.

After all, this partner was very reliable and had never let him down.

After 9:00 AM, company employees clocked in one after another.

Sunlight spilled in from the large floor-to-ceiling window on the east side, and the whole office area became vibrant.

……

Huayun Center Building B, Guangying Media.

"Tap-tap-tap—" In the sound of hurried footsteps.

Zhang Zhang Xintong ran quickly into the company gate.

After a "beep," the attendance machine clocked in successfully.

Looking at the numbers above, she let out a long breath.

9:30 sharp, not late!

Arriving at the office area of the Marketing Planning Department, she took out a meat bun and soy milk from her bag and ate them happily.

Recently, the company had undergone a series of huge changes, and all employees had become cautious; the atmosphere in the office was very subtle.

However, in private, there were all kinds of messy guesses in various WeChat groups.

Some said the company was finished and was about to have a big layoff.

Others said a new investment institution had appeared to acquire the company and was currently negotiating.

It could be said that everyone was in danger, and everyone was afraid that the company would be completely finished.

There was no way around it; as the leader in Yancheng's advertising and media field, Guangying Media's salary and benefits were also the best.

Flexible working hours, five social insurances and one housing fund, paid annual leave, overtime subsidies…

Moreover, the current environment was so bad that no one wanted to leave.

However, none of this mattered to Zhang Zhang Xintong, as she had already received Wen Wen Ruan's promise.

She was about to jump ship to the Yancheng branch of Nebula International Group.

"Tap-tap-tap—" The sound of high heels hitting the ground rang out.

Li Li Meiling, dressed coquettishly and holding coffee, walked into her workstation.

First, she glanced at Wen Wen Ruan's position, then said to Zhang Zhang Xintong: "Is Wen Wen Ruan still not coming to do the handover? What's going on? Does she want to keep dragging us along?"

Zhang Zhang Xintong suppressed her patience and explained again: "Sister Li Meiling, Sister Wen Wen Ruan only returned to Yancheng yesterday, and she already handed over most of the materials before."

"Heh, still in the mood to play in the Imperial Capital?" Li Li Meiling put the coffee on the table and sat down with her legs crossed: "Before, Meigou Technology wanted her to go over and talk about cooperation, but she didn't even give our boss face, directly leading to the cancellation of the cooperation. If you ask me, the reason our company has become like this has a lot to do with her."

"I heard it was also because of the cancellation of this cooperation that the previous investment institution gave up directly."

"I still can't understand why Meigou Technology insisted on finding Wen Wen Ruan to talk about cooperation?"

"Cut~, that's just an excuse; to put it bluntly, it's still the competitor playing tricks."

"However, Wen Wen Ruan is really ruthless; after all, she worked in the company for two years and doesn't care about old feelings at all."

"You guys have seen her Moments, right? She's having a great time playing in the Imperial Capital, all kinds of food, movies, and beautiful scenery."

…

Following Li Li Meiling's provocative words, several colleagues began to discuss in low voices.

Between the lines, they all had some opinions about Wen Wen Ruan.

No matter what, this company crisis started from her.

Facing an unpredictable future, they subconsciously pushed the responsibility onto one target to exchange for a trace of insignificant sense of belonging and identity through collective complaining, huddling together for warmth.

In short, it was still because of fear.

Zhong Ying, sitting in the corner, had a dim expression and didn't follow along to complain about anything.

All her grudges with Wen Wen Ruan were because of the director Wang Liyu.

However, after Director Wang gave up pursuing Wen Wen Ruan, his attitude toward her didn't change.

This also made her gradually wake up, and she didn't have any opinions about Wen Wen Ruan anymore.

Now she was just more worried about her future, and that she wouldn't be able to see Director Wang after leaving the company.

Listening to their discussion, Zhang Zhang Xintong's face flushed, and she couldn't help but speak up: "Sister Wen Wen Ruan leaving, wasn't it also caused by that President Liu from the Imperial Capital? According to what you're saying, that's his fault too!"

Li Li Meiling's face sank.

She worked hard to please the other party, only to end up with nothing, and now she had to face the crisis of the company possibly going bankrupt; she felt very uncomfortable.

Just at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came.

The company's Human Resources Director and two administrative specialists ran into the office area.

"Clap-clap-clap—" The Human Resources Director clapped her hands hard and said loudly: "Quiet! Everyone immediately enter working state! Important leaders are coming over later! It concerns the life and death of our company!"

As she spoke, she walked directly through the office area of the Marketing Planning Department and walked toward the inside.

Guangying Media Yancheng headquarters had many employees and occupied most of the 15th floor's office area.

Immediately after, similar notifications were received in WeChat groups.

Everyone in the office area instantly perked up.

They didn't have the mind to complain about Wen Wen Ruan anymore.

On the surface, they maintained quiet, but various small groups had already begun to discuss frantically.

Soon, well-informed colleagues revealed the identity of the "leader."

The investor representative negotiating the acquisition agreement with the company.

A glow of anticipation and excitement erupted in everyone's eyes, and the sound of keyboards clattering was "pitter-patter."

If there is a company acquisition, it means their company has value, and they still have a great chance of staying.

Zhang Zhang Xintong rolled her eyes and hurriedly sent this news to Wen Wen Ruan.

Given the current atmosphere in the company, even if she came today, she wouldn't be able to do any handover work.

Everyone would be paying attention to this negotiation that concerned their fate.

A tense and uneasy atmosphere spread through the interior of Light and Shadow Media without anyone noticing.

10:00 AM.

A message quickly exploded in every WeChat group: "They're here! The Chairman went down personally to pick them up!"

In an instant, the office became so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and everyone started pretending to work diligently.

A few more minutes passed.

Dense and rhythmic footsteps came from the entrance.

It was as if they were stepping on everyone's hearts, "thump-thump—".

"They're coming in!" someone whispered, though it was unclear who.

Everyone's gaze couldn't help but sneakily look toward the entrance.

Immediately following, bursts of surprised whispers arose.

Walking at the very front were two women.

One of them was tall and thin with a cold expression, walking with a swift and decisive manner.

Beside her was a tall, curvaceous, sexy beauty wearing a shirt and a hip-hugging skirt.

Behind and beside them, in addition to familiar executives like Chairman Zhang Shun and Vice President Xu Feiyu, followed more than ten unfamiliar men and women in suits, with calm and composed demeanors.

Against the backdrop of these people, the aura of those two women appeared exceptionally powerful.

However, everyone's gaze turned to Wen Wen Ruan, who was standing on the left, dumbfounded.
