The system interface halo flowed.

The gorgeous golden card floated in the middle of the 【Character Management Center】.

Emitting a mysterious and charming light, the surroundings of the card illustration were covered with exquisite and complex patterns, every line flowed with strange energy, golden brilliance wandered along these patterns, interweaving dreamlike light and shadow.

Gently touched the 【Jin Mi Shu】 character card with his mind.

Immediately, lines of information appeared in his mind.

【Jin Mi Shu (UR)】

【Status: Calm and gentle】

【Location: Harvard University. map】

【Special Skill: Dream Link (Passive, currently unavailable)】

【Age: 20, Height: 170 cm, Weight: 52 kg】

【Comprehensive score: 93.7 excellent (can be improved)】

【Character adaptability evaluation: 100 perfect】

【Character background story: Born in 1995 in a family environment full of academic atmosphere, nickname "Smile"......】

This is a true daughter of heaven, much more exaggerated than the prototype Liu Qingning he referred to.

Her parents are both well-known scholars in the field of economics, and the family's influence made her have a strong interest in numbers and economics since she was a child.

During middle school, she showed super talent, was very sensitive to numbers, finance, economics, etc., and also self-studied multiple languages and participated in various academic competitions.

Admitted to Harvard University at 17, obtained a double degree in economics and mathematics.

While her academic ability was outstanding, she also achieved fruitful results in the field of financial investment.

Relying on her own ability, she earned over a million US dollars from financial derivative tools such as the stock market and futures during university.

At the same time, relying on her family background and excellent emotional intelligence and literacy, she built her own huge social network spanning academia and finance.

Among them, there is no lack of children of business families, descendants of political elites, and top talents in other fields.

Now she not only holds offers for core positions at two of the world's top investment banks, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, but also received invitations from many well-known consulting firms and hedge funds.

After reading the long background story seriously, Tang Song outlined a more complete character portrait in his heart.

The expectation for his "secretary" in his heart was pulled to the highest, and he couldn't wait to see her.

However, the time zone where Harvard University is currently located is already 7 or 8 AM.

And the passive skill 【Dream Link】 is only available when she is asleep.

【Dream Character Recruitment Card (UR)】 is undoubtedly an extremely rare item.

The attached passive skill is also incredible.

Equivalent to adding an interface to the real Jin Meixiao, allowing them to communicate and interact through dreams.

Through subconscious suggestion, let her fully accept herself, and have favorability and loyalty to herself.

Time flowed slowly.

Tang Song is currently in a special state of "half-awake".

In his perception, everything is the same as before, and for content related to the 【Dream System】, he subconsciously chose to ignore it.

It's like in a dream, he feels he can fly, and the next second he really flies.

Immediately after, he feels he can't fly, and will immediately become a walking state.

Mysterious and mysterious, but also reasonable.

February 20, Saturday morning, Tang Song in the dormitory finally encountered a suitable opportunity.

【Jin Mi Shu (UR)】

【Status: Sleeping...】

【Location: Harvard University off-campus dormitory area. map】

【Special Skill: Dream Link (Passive, currently available)】

He lay calmly on his bed and launched the dream link.

Soon, hazy fog wrapped him.

Paintings with artistic atmosphere hung on the walls, soft sofas and simple tables and chairs were placed in an orderly manner.

The air was filled with a strong coffee aroma.

Warm sunlight poured down, rendering the dormitory's public rest area warm and quiet.

In the dream, Tang Song also saw her for the first time.

She sat quietly by the window, holding a steaming cup of coffee in her hand.

Her figure was tall and straight, the proportions were near perfect, her long legs were crossed, straight and full of beauty.

Seeming to sense his gaze, Jin Mi Shu gently put down the coffee and turned to look over.

The corners of her mouth raised slightly, with a confident and charming smile.

A pair of eyes were like deep lakes, clear and bright, revealing smart light, and endless wisdom seemed to be hidden in the flow of her eyes.

For this Chinese compatriot who appeared here abruptly, she didn't have any surprise, it seemed to be a matter of course.

Tang Song in a special state was very rational and calm, without any extra emotional expression.

The two sat face to face, and a cup of coffee exactly the same as hers suddenly appeared in Tang Song's hand.

"Hello, I am Tang Song."

"Hello, I am Jin Meixiao, perhaps you can call me... Jin Mi Shu." She smiled, revealing a gentle and atmospheric beauty.

"Okay, Jin Mi Shu."

Immediately after, the two started a long and pleasant exchange.

From profound mathematical theory to complex economic models...

Analyze the impact of macroeconomic policies on the market through Keynesian theory, and analyze corporate production decisions using microeconomic cost theory.

He is very knowledgeable and sharp, whether it is classical economic theory or modern frontier theory, he can deeply understand and apply it.

At the end of the chat, hearing that Jin Mi Shu is engaged in London gold trading.

Tang Song used this as an example to explain the trend in the second half of February 2016 to her.

Including the specific values of support levels and upper pressure levels.

In the more than a month that followed, the two often met in dreams.

While improving favorability and loyalty, Tang Song also intermittently instilled some major changes in the recent London gold, stock market, and futures markets into her subconscious.

Relying on these hazy intuitions, Jin Mi Shu was like a god in the financial market, always able to seize the best opportunity.

The original million-dollar funds began to expand at an exaggerated speed.

At the same time, the rapidly expanding wealth, desire, ambition, and confidence made Jin Mi Shu's heart begin to waver and change.

For her at this time, the Wall Street she had always longed for was completely disenchanted, and her gaze looked at a higher position.

Those offers for core positions at top investment banks had no attraction to her.

She wanted to pursue greater challenges and achievements, wanted to break through the limits, and create a grand wealth myth led by her.

Regarding the future, she was full of ambition.

Approaching graduation, different paths appeared before her.

In her subconscious, a voice was reminding her that her current achievements were not only due to her personal ability and strong intuition.

There was also the participation of another person.

She thought of the hazy dreams that appeared frequently recently, and that string of irregular mailbox numbers.

Sitting in front of the computer, enter the number.

"Da da da—" The slow and firm tapping sound sounded.

————————

"Sir or Madam, although I know this is very abrupt, I still decided to send this email.

Today happens to be April Fool's Day, you can treat it as a stranger's joke.

But if you also have similar experiences, please answer.

——April 1, 2016"

————————

Tang Song, who was preparing for the college entrance examination, saw this sudden email in the system notification.

A bright smile appeared on his face.

Jin Mi Shu, let our story start from today.

7 years is enough for us to create a grand wealth myth.

In the period that followed, the two established a link in reality through email.

With the magical dream interconnection as a premise, Jin Mi Shu's initial trust and favorability toward him were ridiculously high.

Having obtained more accurate information and instructions, she set off her own huge waves in the overseas financial market and became famous.

June 10, 2016, the day after the college entrance examination, and also the second day of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday.

Jin Mi Shu appeared in Quancheng and saw her "behind-the-scenes boss" for the first time.

The 18-year-old Tang Song still had some youthful feeling, tall and thin, handsome and straight.

He spoke clearly and logically, with meticulous thinking and strong infectious power.

His eyes revealed a deep and sharp light, as if he could see through people's hearts.

Left an extremely deep impression on her.

Tang Song also truly felt the extreme softness and sexiness of women.

She really perfectly interpreted the meaning of "golden ratio".

Even in a special state, he had a slight trance.

After all, she was the most ideal candidate recruited by the system according to his wishes.

In the half year that followed.

Smile Investment was officially established, starting to lay out fields destined to be popular in the future.

Short video, cross-border e-commerce, sharing economy, new energy...

Tang Song successively recruited several important early game characters.

Including "Annie Kate", a good friend of Jin Mi Shu, and also one of the heirs of the Kate family in America.

Unlike 【Dream Character Recruitment Card (UR)】.

These characters did not have a passive dream link interface, Tang Song just established a link with them through dreams, leaving initial favorability and loyalty. The real contact and understanding with them started from reality.

At the same time, the overseas private equity fund company Jingwu Capital was quietly established.

Under Tang Song's guidance, led by Wu Kezhi, and with Annie Kate's help, it began to harvest the foreign capital market on a large scale.

A business empire carefully woven by Dream Tang Song was quietly taking shape.

January 1, 2017.

Under the bonus of lucky items, a new SSR character card appeared in front of Tang Song.

Ouyang Xianyue, who possesses rich political resources and connections.

Attached was also a consumer electronics company she had just taken over that was on the verge of bankruptcy, as well as huge employment needs.

"Whoosh~~"

The torrent of youth slowly faded.

Jingxian First Middle School, second floor of the third-year teaching building, in the quiet corridor.

Tang Song opened his eyes and found that he still maintained the posture of reaching up and grabbing.

And that light feather of memory had disappeared before his eyes.

Everything returned to calm.

Dreaming is a very magical thing, in a dream, you can imagine all kinds of magic unscrupulously, even if it is flying to the sky and escaping the earth, traveling through time and space, you won't feel inconsistent.

However, after waking up, due to the information being too dense, complex, or bizarre, the brain often loses many details.

This is like showing someone hundreds or thousands of pictures in a short time and asking him to remember them all, which is almost impossible, the brain will not be able to effectively process and remember all the content in the dream because of too much information.

The him before was in such a state.

Thoughts gradually returned, and past memories became incomparably clear.

"Huff—huff—" Tang Song leaned against the wall and gasped violently a few times.

A sense of loss surged in his heart.

2016, it has been 7 years.

It turns out so many things happened 7 years ago.

White moonlight, dream system, Jin Mi Shu, Annie, Wu Kezhi...

Liu Qingning's words seemed to be echoing in his ears: "For example... feelings, I think, only when the economy is relatively free, will it become pure, safe, and full."

Compared to her, he was really naive at the time.

The mature Liu Qingning had always been silently protecting him in her own way.

For example, the supervision and encouragement in high school, for example, the choice and application of university majors.

And for example, the resolute participation in entrepreneurship, and the plan to buy a house in Yancheng.

It is very likely that she was paving the way for the future of the two.

Based on his understanding of Liu Qingning, the other party was probably afraid that he would bear too much pressure and wanted to protect him, so she never revealed her heart, but struggled alone.

In her clear and cute eyes, what was hidden was the tolerance and firmness he couldn't see.

She is such a person.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have become his white moonlight, hanging high in the sky, illuminating his entire youth.

A boy will always have a time when his blood is hot and he goes forward without looking back.

Tang Song's desperate efforts belonged to the white moonlight.

However, in the 3 years after graduating in the Imperial Capital, feeling the huge gap with Liu Qingning and not seeing the future of the two, his blood gradually faded, and he was no longer obsessed with this relationship, letting her pursue the career she loved.

At that time, he still felt that he was "wronged", and was the one who paid silently and was abandoned in the relationship.

Plus after the game became reality, the rapid expansion of wealth, desire, and career.

He became a thorough scumbag, with Zhao Yaqian, Wen Ruan, Lin Mu Xue around him...

The real him was indeed not firm enough in feelings.

And not as pure as Liu Qingning.

At this moment, thinking of this white moonlight far away in Shenzhen, Tang Song's mood was extremely complicated.

Letting him completely let go, that is naturally impossible.

He obtained the 【Dream System】 to change the future, itself to keep her and make up for regrets.

But what kind of mentality should he use to meet her and let her understand and accept his current self?

Silent for a while, Tang Song took out his phone from his pocket, found Liu Qingning's contact and dialed it.

"Beep beep—"

The phone rang for a while before it was finally answered.

Liu Qingning's somewhat tired voice came from the receiver: "I was busy just now, so I answered a bit slowly. Is there any urgent matter calling me at this time?"

Tang Song licked his dry lips, feeling full of bitterness in his mouth, "Qingning."

"What's wrong with you? Your voice is very wrong, are you sick?"

"I'm fine, my body is very good." Tang Song took a deep breath and whispered: "I went back to the First Middle School today, and I am standing outside Class 3 of the third year."

"Wow!" Liu Qingning's voice was a bit joyful: "You actually went back secretly, I was thinking of going with you next time, really."

"Remember when school just started after the New Year in the third year? Pink Hi-Fi headset, we went for a walk on the playground at night..."

Tang Song held the phone in his hand and narrated this memory with a gentle voice.

Liu Qingning on the other side of the phone listened silently, only faint breathing proved that she was always there.

When he finally finished speaking, she smiled and said: "So you have always remembered, when school started, a third-year student in Quancheng jumped off the building because of too much pressure. I saw that your spirit was not very good at the time, and I was afraid that something would happen to you. That's why I told you so much, mainly to give you a boost and let you cheer up, the third year is really bitter."

"I know." Tang Song's eyes were a bit moist, "I miss you."

"I miss you too." Liu Qingning paused and said in a gentle voice: "It's no big deal, everything will pass."

Shenzhen, Nanshan Science and Technology Park.

Putting down the phone, Liu Qingning took a deep breath and quickly restrained the expression on her face.

Walked a few steps quickly, knocked on the glass door of the conference room, and walked in, "Sorry Wang Laoshi, I had something urgent just now."

"It's okay, let's continue chatting."

"Okay." Liu Qingning sat down quietly.

Wang Chang's expression was serious: "Qingning, actually there are many things you must understand, you don't need me to say too clearly. Anyway, the decision-making power is always in your hands, I came from the Imperial Capital this time, more to support you guys."

"I understand." Liu Qingning nodded, "I am willing to sell the equity in my hands, and also accept the price given by Changyun Investment."

From the moment she received the news, she had a premonition of this ending.

Since coming to Shenzhen, the company's CEO has been replaced by a professional manager hired by the capital side, who is very good at business operations.

Their entrepreneurial team that walked out of the Imperial Capital University focused only on R&D.

However, the forefront of business is market, customers, and demand, and then products and R&D.

The information in this is asymmetric, in a good team, everyone can be responsible for business decisions together.

But often while doing it, with the adjustment of direction, there will definitely be deviations.

Now the self-developed AI large model and auxiliary teaching software have been put into use, and the company's business decisions have turned to hardware R&D.

Marginalizing several software partners is also expected.

Even if she doesn't leave now, her equity will be diluted in the future and she will be kicked out of the management team.

There are many methods, such as targeted issuance of new shares, introduction of strategic investors, equity refinancing, etc.

And she came to Shenzhen to help Century Intelligence develop, and then cash out and leave.

It's just that the time is much earlier than she thought, and the money is also less.

However...

Thinking of Tang Song's words on the phone just now, Liu Qingning's gaze became soft.

It's also good to go back to Yancheng to find him.

Two years of hard work in university, plus more than 3 years of entrepreneurship, earned her 3.6 million in cash.

For big cities like the Imperial Capital, Shenzhen, and Shanghai, it may not count as anything.

But it is already enough for her to buy a good house in Yancheng, and still have more than 2 million in savings.

Even if they stay in Yancheng to develop in the future, they can live very well.

"Come on Qingning! I believe you will get better and better!"

Wang Chang stood up from her seat, came to her side, and hugged her gently.

"Thank you Wang Laoshi, thank you for your help and care over the past few years." Liu Qingning bowed sincerely to thank her.

Wang Chang is a female professor at the Imperial Capital Normal University, and also the instructor of their "Internet+ Entrepreneurship Competition" team.

When she was a junior, it was with Wang Laoshi's help that she joined the Century Intelligence project.

It was also the other party who guided her to embark on the promising field of AI.

Including later they were able to win the national gold medal, get the angel round financing of Changyun Investment, and get many profitable businesses, behind it all had this Wang Laoshi's shadow.

After all, she is a well-known expert in the field of AI.

Of course, Wang Chang is also a shareholder of the company, and also a technical consultant for both software and hardware.

Wang Chang looked at her and suddenly asked: "After leaving Century Intelligence, do you plan to go to Yancheng?"

Liu Qingning was silent for a moment, and nodded honestly: "Well, although I like the prosperity and excitement of big cities, there is always something to give up."

Wang Chang smiled and pretended to be indifferent: "Is it because of your childhood sweetheart? Seems to be called Tang Song, right?"

"Uh... I..." Liu Qingning's face was slightly red: "He is called Tang Song."

Wang Chang can be said to have watched her grow up, and knows a lot of her information.

Before, when she was confused, it was also Wang Chang who persuaded her to temporarily put down feelings and work hard, and Century Intelligence would bring her a better future.

Wang Chang patted her shoulder gently and asked: "Qingning, have you ever thought that he might fall in love with someone else? I heard you say before that you were coming to Shenzhen, he didn't stop you, but was very open-minded."

Hearing her words, Liu Qingning was stunned, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.

Immediately after, she whispered: "If he can meet someone better, if he can live happier, then actually I... can accept it."

"Is that so?" Wang Chang's gaze flashed, "Qingning, you also said that people always have to give up something. I hope that when you face this problem one day, you can make the right choice."

"Thank you Wang Laoshi."

"Alright, I have something to do, let's chat next time, bye."

"Bye."

Walked out of the Century Intelligence office area.

Wang Chang took out her phone and dialed a number, whispering: "Assistant Cheng, I persuaded Qingning, she is determined to sell the equity in her hands and return to Yancheng! I can't stop her."

"Well, this is her decision."

"Okay, goodbye."

Hanging up the phone, Wang Chang lowered her head and smiled.

Took the elevator from the 14th floor to the 29th floor.

"Dong dong dong—" The knocking sound sounded.

The door of the tea break room was gently opened.

Shangguan Qiuya smiled and said: "Wang Laoshi, please come in."

Walked into the warm and quiet tea break room.

Looking at the figure sitting on the rattan chair, Wang Chang's gaze was respectful: "Jin Dongshi, Su Yu's assistant Cheng Xiaoxi just called me, and I made a reply according to your requirements. Regarding Tang Zong's matter, I also gave her a preventive injection."

"Well." Jin Mi Shu raised her bright eyes and said lightly: "How did Liu Qingning answer you?"

"She said, if he can meet someone better, if he can live happier, then she can also accept it."

Jin Mi Shu's hand holding the teacup exerted slight force, whispering: "What a likable good girl."

"Yes, Qingning is indeed very good, and very excellent, among the people I have come into contact with, she is a rare good girl." Wang Chang's tone was somewhat emotional.

"Oh?" Jin Mi Shu raised her head and looked at her, "Then who do you think is better, me or her?"

The expression on Wang Chang's face was stunned, and she didn't react for a while.

Jin Mi Shu picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Why? Hard to say?"

Wang Chang said seriously: "Jin Dongshi is joking, I really can't imagine that there is a woman better than you in this world."

The corners of Jin Mi Shu's mouth raised, and her legs tilted slightly, "Wang Laoshi has worked hard, it won't be long before Liu Qingning should join Qingning Technology, and then I will need your assistance."

"Understood, thank you for Jin Dongshi's trust!"

"Alright, you go get busy."

The door of the tea break room closed again.

Jin Mi Shu leaned on the rattan chair, and Tang Song's figure appeared before her eyes again.

If there are miracles in this world, then it is undoubtedly their inexplicable link across half the planet.

Even if it is white moonlight, so what?
