Chapter 311: I Was an Assistant to Jin Dongshi

Chengyuan Building, front desk.

"Hey, hey, hey, Ziqi, are you even listening to me!" The colleague said unhappily: "This is a top priority, why do you seem so unconcerned?"

Zhang Ziqi turned her head, "Hehe, sister isn't afraid, sister has someone behind her!"

"Ah?" The colleague whispered: "Ziqi, have you already found a new job?"

"No, but as long as I open my mouth, it's absolutely no problem!"

Zhang Ziqi raised the corners of her mouth confidently and refocused her attention on her phone.

In the bestie group.

【Zhuangzhuang: {Red Packet}】

【Zhuangzhuang: "@Ziqi, I'll be at Chengyuan Building soon, Your Highness, why don't you hurry to the entrance and kneel to greet me!"】

Zhang Ziqi was quick-eyed and fast-handed, clicking the red packet directly.

200 Yuan successfully obtained.

An excited smile instantly appeared on her face, and she replied: "Coming!"

After sending the message and telling her colleague, Zhang Ziqi walked quickly to the building entrance.

Her heart was surging.

This morning, her bestie Wen Ruan suddenly dropped two "deep-water bombs" in the group.

It directly blew her and Hu Mingli away.

First: Xingyun International Group fully acquired Guangying Media, and under Tang Song's arrangement, Wen Ruan, as the group representative, became the company's new president.

Second: Juqing Juqing Hui Jin, located on the 29th floor of Chengyuan Building, had intricate connections with Tang Song; he set up a family trust there, and Wen Ruan became the beneficiary, with the specific amount unknown.

A true class leap; this good bestie suddenly became a high-level big shot.

Hu Mingli, this matchmaker, had been shouting in the group all morning.

Wen Ruan was also very loyal, and the red packets basically didn't stop.

Zhang Ziqi's WeChat balance had increased by 6,000 in 1 hour!

In the past few days, she had actually been quite uneasy.

Currently, she worked in the property service department of Chengyuan Building, engaged in front desk reception.

However, there was news recently that the property company wanted to promote the rejuvenation of employees and improve the building's image.

Besides security and cleaning, customer service and administrative front desk were also key areas for improvement.

At 29 years old this year, she was basically the center of the target.

After all, no matter how hard one maintained their appearance, it definitely couldn't compare to a girl around 20.

Actually, this job wasn't very good either, and for a general front desk, 32 was basically the limit.

Originally, she had thought about changing careers, but she was always worried that her ability wasn't enough, and she fell into a comfort zone, hesitating.

Now, hearing that her bestie had "soared," the hanging heart finally settled down.

In that case, she wouldn't need to shamelessly look for Tang Song.

Having a bestie who was a media company president, at least work could definitely be solved.

And she could take advantage of a lot of benefits in the future; just thinking about it made her excited!

In the bestie group, they had often teased each other, fantasizing about their good sisters becoming successful and taking them along to "show off" and "fly."

She didn't expect Zhuangzhuang to really realize her dream!

"Qiqi, what are you daydreaming about? Laughing so lewdly." A familiar voice rang in her ear.

"Nothing, nothing!" Zhang Ziqi quickly raised her head, turned around, and smiled: "Welcome, Empress Zhuangzhuang! Zhuangzhuang is mighty and domineering!"

Immediately after, her eyes blinked, and she looked blankly at Wen Ruan in front of her.

A deep purple dress, outstanding texture, outlining a graceful and undulating figure.

Her skin was delicate and elastic, her charming and beautiful features carried exquisite makeup.

It had only been ten days since they last met; how did it feel like she had become a different person?

It seemed... she was a bit younger, and her spirit was much fuller.

Especially set off by the dazzling diamond necklace, she looked elegant and noble.

Coupled with her plump and moist figure, she was full of charm.

"What's wrong? Don't recognize me?" Wen Ruan raised the corners of her mouth in a big arc and gently flicked her wavy long hair.

Her body exuded a mature and charming temperament.

Zhang Ziqi swallowed her saliva and exclaimed with full admiration: "As expected of a company president, this aura is handled better than our boss."

"Hehe." Wen Ruan patted her on the back, "Did you register? Lead the way. Also, you are not allowed to call me Zhuangzhuang here; I am a decent person now, after all."

Zhang Ziqi grabbed her arm and said flatteringly: "As you command!"

After thinking about it, she leaned into her ear and whispered: "Tang Zong's little wife, hehe."

Wen Ruan covered her mouth and laughed softly, "This title is not bad, I have to change my group nickname later."

"Tsk tsk, it's really different when you have a man; it seems the marital life is very harmonious, your skin is so supple."

"Hmph, hmph, harmonious to a degree you can't imagine." Wen Ruan bit her full, moist lips, a thick smile flashing in her eyes.

A young and handsome rich boyfriend, 6-pack abs that are rock hard, excellent performance, durable, and very tasteful.

It simply made her love him to the extreme.

Swiping the building access card, they walked into the bright elevator room.

One after another, subtle gazes were cast over.

Wen Ruan remained calm and natural, looking forward to the upcoming trip to the trust company.

Coming here this time was mainly to see with her own eyes this family trust set up by Tang Song.

By the way, she would connect with the Rights and Interests Service Department to help her grandmother arrange private medical services.

Of course, the reason she was so relaxed was because of Su Yu's unexpected kindness.

Especially the acquisition of the Yanbei Printing Factory.

It meant that even if Su Yu became Tang Song's wife in the future, she, this little mistress, wouldn't be bullied.

And losing to a woman like Su Yu, she accepted it.

Taking the elevator directly to the 29th floor.

Walking into the corridor.

Zhang Ziqi pulled Wen Ruan's arm and pointed in a direction, whispering: "It's this company, it moved into Chengyuan Building last year. I heard from the leaders that it's a very awesome financial company."

"OK, I know, Qiqi, you go get busy, don't worry about me." Wen Ruan nodded, her gaze looking forward.

The open office door, the high-end and atmospheric counter, the bright and fashionable white LOGO wall.

Her first impression was very good.

When she first returned to Yancheng, she worked here at Chengyuan Building, which was a branch of a large enterprise.

Later, in order to earn more money, she jumped ship to Guangying Media.

"Then I'll go down first, come find me downstairs when you're busy, let's go eat grilled fish next door."

Just at this moment.

"Ding—" with a sound, the elevator door opposite opened slowly.

A tall and sexy figure walked out.

Wearing a dark gray ladies' suit skirt, stepping on black thin high heels, her exposed legs were fair and slender, and she was carrying a red work badge in her hand.

Seeing the two people standing there, Lin Mu was stunned for a moment, then her mouth opened slightly.

Wen Ruan had already signed the trust, and she had seen the copy of the other party's ID card, so she naturally recognized this woman opposite.

This was also her first time seeing her in person.

Her looks were okay, but this figure was too exaggerated!

Big breasts, plump buttocks, thin waist, mature and sexy.

However, she quickly returned to normal.

After leaving the presidential suite in the morning, she couldn't wait to call the Porsche Center.

She figured out the information about her Porsche 911.

2023 Carrera 4S 3.0T.

The manufacturer's guide price was 1.57 million; although there were discounts, the options were very rich.

The actual price definitely exceeded 1.6 million.

Such a luxury car was enough to smooth out any sourness and jealousy in her heart.

The love for Tang Song in her heart had already flooded into a disaster.

And so what if the figure is good? She and Qian Qian weren't bad either; the key was that she was even more "hot"!

Didn't the socialite group say that men like "hot" ones?

"Da, da, da—" high heels tapped on the marble floor, and Lin Mu smiled and stood in front of the two.

Looking at Wen Ruan's eyes, she reached out politely and said: "Hello, Ms. Wen Ruan, very happy to meet you, I am the assistant to the Trust Committee, Lin Mu."

"Hello, Assistant Lin." Wen Ruan shook hands with her gently, observing the other party without a trace.

Exquisite and three-dimensional features, heavy makeup, high spirits.

She looked very much like the aggressive, beautiful second female lead in a Korean drama.

Assistant to the committee? Isn't that Tang Song's assistant?

Looking so "hot"?

Hehe, little brother, you really know how to play.

Wen Ruan was, after all, quick-witted, and could detect abnormalities from Lin Mu's few micro-expressions and small movements after seeing her.

The two exchanged pleasantries in the corridor, and Wen Ruan followed Lin Mu inside.

Zhang Ziqi behind them watched the backs of the two leaving.

She always felt that the atmosphere between these two people was a bit strange.

Blinking her eyes, Zhang Ziqi opened WeChat and took a photo to share with Tang Song.

She left a message: "Tang Zong, your little wife has come to the trust company in Chengyuan Building. I brought her over, and Assistant Lin received her. Hope you know."

Although they had already achieved a positive result, from the information she obtained.

This male god Tang Song was clearly a master of time management.

Otherwise, the previous Zhuangzhuang wouldn't have been so hesitant and retreated.

However, this shows that she, this double agent, still has value and can continue to shine and generate heat.

Occasionally, she could also collect red packets or something.

Walking into the elevator.

"Ding-dong—" a WeChat notification sounded.

【Tang Song: "Okay, I know. By the way, Sister Ziqi, I remember you are the administrative receptionist for the property company of Chengyuan Building, right?"】

Zhang Ziqi's heart jumped, vaguely realizing something.

She quickly typed and replied: "Yes, but I'm already 29 years old, and I'm considering changing careers. I should be leaving here by then."

After sending the message, her hands couldn't help but shake a little.

The elevator stopped and went, and she couldn't receive a WeChat message for a long time.

Worried that the signal in the elevator was bad, Zhang Ziqi simply found a floor at random and walked out.

Waiting anxiously for a while, Zhang Ziqi's forehead was sweating.

As a "corporate slave" who had been struggling in society for many years, she also had her own little thoughts.

Although her bestie Wen Ruan was a company president, she would at most arrange for her to do some administrative management at the media company.

But Tang Song was different! This was a true capitalist.

Now was not the time to be reserved; even if there was a little possibility, it was an opportunity to change her life.

"Ding-dong—"

【Tang Song: "It is indeed time to consider the future. Zhang Ziqi, are you interested in the hotel industry? It's also a matching industry for you."】

Zhang Ziqi's heart jumped, and she replied directly by voice: "Interested, to tell you the truth, when I first entered society, I worked in a four-star hotel in Yancheng, and later, after much tossing and turning, I came to Chengyuan Building."

【Tang Song: "That's good, I happen to be short of a few trusted people at the hotel. You can consider which department you want to go to; lobby, housekeeping, catering, or marketing are all fine."】

"Thump, thump—"

Zhang Ziqi's face was flushed.

Sure enough, when one person gains the Tao, the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!

With a casual move from her bestie's boyfriend, her life trajectory was completely reversed!

Excitedly walking a few steps in the corridor, Zhang Ziqi patted her head and replied: "I listen to your arrangements, Tang Zong; wherever you need me, I will go! Also, is our hotel in Yancheng? Of course, even if it's out of town, I'm willing to try!"

【Tang Song: "It's local, Lanfeng International Hotel."】

A "boom" sounded in Zhang Ziqi's brain, her mouth opening and closing, not knowing what to say.

After a long time, a message popped up.

【Tang Song: "I think Sister Ziqi, you can consider the marketing department. That involves brand promotion, and there should be cooperation with Guangying Media later. You are Zhuangzhuang's bestie, the cooperation will definitely be very smooth."】

Zhang Ziqi's body shook, and she replied tremblingly: "Tang Zong, you can just call me Qiqi or Little Zhang, I will handle my resignation as soon as possible!"

In a romantic French restaurant.

"Ding~~" the sound of wine glasses colliding rang out.

The sour wine liquid with fragrance slid into her mouth, Xie Shu Yu pursed her red lips and savored it silently.

After a moment, her voice sounded a bit lazy: "Your school will be on summer vacation tomorrow, almost 50 days of vacation, carefree, I really envy you."

"Hehe, I plan to go around the country and see some old friends." Jiang Yourong put down her wine glass and looked at her tired eyes: "If you are willing, you can also be so relaxed.

From the beginning, Weiguang Coffee has been taking the boutique business route, isn't that pretty good?

Do your own thing well, why bother making things so hard for yourself?"

Xie Shu Yu drank again and shook her head gently: "It's not as simple as you think. Consumption downgrading caused by the poor economic environment, changing consumer demands, and the rise of high-cost-performance coffee shops like Luckin and Cotti, Weiguang Coffee is already going downhill.

If effective changes cannot be made, we will have to start closing stores as early as next year."

Jiang Yourong said in surprise: "Is it that serious?"

She had been doing scientific research projects at school for the past year and hadn't chatted with Xie Shu Yu about her coffee shop for a long time.

"Very serious." Xie Shu Yu nodded, "It's mainly consumption downgrading; everyone is tightening their belts, and business is not easy to do."

She started her first Weiguang Coffee in 2017.

At that time, the domestic economy was on the rise, and the business "petit bourgeois" style had a market.

Relying on supply chain relationships and excellent business management means.

In just two years, the stores expanded to 4.

Later, the operation went smoothly, and finally, in 2021, she had 8 stores, covering the main CBDs of Yancheng.

In this process, she also cashed out part of her equity, accepted two shareholders, and made a lot of money.

She bought a house in Shengyuan Jiajing, bought a BMW 7 Series, and let her parents in her hometown live a good life.

Her personal assets, excluding the company equity she held, were already close to 10 million.

However, in the past two years, with market changes and intensified competition, the company's growth momentum had come to an abrupt end.

Because Weiguang Coffee shops had good locations and decorations, the costs were very high, and they couldn't form an advantage in price at all.

Many old customers turned to affordable, small, and beautiful fast-selling coffee shops, especially some corporate clients who had cooperated for many years.

Xie Shu Yu saw the indestructible bottleneck above and foresaw the ending of Weiguang Coffee.

Unwilling to fail, reluctant to give up years of hard work.

That's why she wanted to fight hard, seek financing, and divide the stores into multiple types.

Besides enriching the products of the original business-type coffee shops, she would open some community and retail stores.

Walking on two legs, the future would be more stable.

In fact, years of operation and promotion, plus cooperation with enterprises.

Weiguang Coffee had a certain degree of popularity and recognition in Yancheng.

This plan was feasible, but it required a lot of money.

And high investment corresponded to high risk.

Individual investors were deterred, and institutional money was not easy to get.

For example, Tiancheng Capital, which was currently conducting due diligence.

They had been engaged in consumer sector investment for many years and had their own set of rules and logic.

A valuation adjustment mechanism (VAM) agreement was definitely to be signed, and there were also equity repurchase clauses.

This was also the reason why the other two shareholders had such big opinions.

However, because the company's articles of association clearly stipulated that they only had dividend rights, they were so angry that they sued Xie Shu Yu.

"Xie Shu Yu." Jiang Yourong said softly: "Actually, I think you are already financially free, there's no need to work so hard."

"I'm just unwilling to fail, and it's only relative freedom; I'm still far from being a truly rich person."

"Fine, I'm not qualified to persuade you."

Xie Shu Yu said softly: "By the way, Yu Sicheng is coming to Yancheng for a business trip tomorrow, let's get together in the evening, you're free, right?"

Jiang Yourong blinked, revealing a sudden realization, "No wonder you invited me to a big meal today! You really have a lot of little thoughts."

"Don't say it so ugly, everyone is an alumnus, it's not easy to gather once in Yancheng." Xie Shu Yu looked at her, her expression rarely lively and playful.

"Stop pretending, isn't it just that you feel it's a bit ambiguous to be alone with him, but he happens to be your coffee supplier, so it's not easy to refuse, so you pulled me over to be a lightbulb."

They were university alumni, separated for a few years, and both returned to Yancheng to work and start businesses.

The relationship had always been very close.

Many of Xie Shu Yu's corporate clients were recommended by Jiang Yourong.

The two teased each other for a while, and the atmosphere became relaxed and pleasant.

Xie Shu Yu looked at Jiang Yourong and asked suddenly: "To be honest, do you regret leaving Smile Holdings?"

Jiang Yourong was silent for a moment, shook her head and smiled: "To say I don't regret it would be impossible; I really didn't expect Smile Holdings to develop so rapidly, and I also underestimated the monstrous degree of Jin Dongshi."

She clinked glasses with Xie Shu Yu and said with emotion: "Speaking of which, I was someone who worked as an assistant to Jin Dongshi; if I hadn't left due to work pressure, you might feel your legs go weak when you see me now, haha."

After graduating with her master's degree, she accidentally entered Smile Holdings, which had just been established.

At that time, the company was still called Smile Investment.

Although the capital volume and scale were not small, it was just an emerging capital enterprise, far from being as terrifying as it is now.

The quality, ability, and knowledge displayed by that "heavenly proud daughter" Jin Meixiao left a deep impression on her and made her deeply feel the disparity in the world.

It's just that she never expected that after she left, Smile Holdings would develop into the behemoth it is today.

If she could really foresee the future, she wouldn't have left to pursue a PhD even if she were beaten to death.

Assistant to Jin Meixiao!

An opportunity countless people dream of.

If she had persisted for a few years, she would definitely be a director at some holding company now.

"Hehe." Xie Shu Yu smiled and said: "I really want to see that legendary Jin Dongshi and see what kind of person she is."

"Anyway, she is a very remarkable person." Jiang Yourong ate a piece of foie gras and said teasingly: "However, she does have a property in Yancheng, and she bought it in 2016; maybe one day you will meet her on the street?"

"Oh? Where is her house?"

"Yanjing Huating, I don't know the specific address; after all, I only followed her for half a year." **CHAPTER 312**
