"Clang~" The sound of a chair being knocked over rang out.

It sounded particularly harsh in the quiet banquet scene.

Noticing the gaze cast by Mo Xiang Wan and the others, Xiang Kai trembled all over, woke up from his dullness, and hurriedly helped the chair behind him up.

His voice trembled, "Sorry!"

After saying this, his body was still a bit unstable, and a look of disbelief was on his face.

If it weren't for the pain in his leg being too clear.

He really felt he was dreaming, and it was an extremely bizarre dream.

"It's naturally a big deal." Qin Yingxue said with a bright smile, "I want to invite you to Qingning Technology; our wholly-owned subsidiary, Qingmi Technology, is missing a person in charge; I don't know if you have the intention."

(This line is a website ad/filler, skipping translation as per instructions to translate the work itself)

Liu Qingning bit her red lips hard with her white teeth, her heart instantly in chaos.

"Let me see!" Liu Shuang stood on tiptoe and looked toward the entrance.

"Very beautiful." Tang Song praised sincerely.

Mo Xiang Wan nodded, "Mm, it's Qin Yingxue, the investment consultant for the Tang Jin family office, and also Jin Dongshi's former assistant; you should still remember her."

The expressions on Liu Shuang and Li Ziying's faces couldn't be held together at all.

"Mm? Qin Yingxue has already arrived?"

Positive feedback again and again, confident to the point of being somewhat arrogant.

"Su Yu... is she doing okay lately? I listened to her new song; it's great; I like it very much." Tang Song's mouth curled up, and he thought of the video Wen Ruan had sent.

This could also be considered letting them build a good relationship in advance; after all, they would definitely meet in the future.

Looking back, Tang Song had already followed Mo Xiang Wan out of the main venue and was walking toward the independent rest area.

Xiang Kai stood blankly in place, his gaze lowered, gritted his teeth, and chose to retreat silently.

"My feelings for Su Yu are all real; in my eyes, she is equally very important." Tang Song said this with a bit of a hot face, feeling that he was indeed a scumbag.

After a passionate presentation, Pei Yanke, dressed up, took the stage.

Mo Xiang Wan smiled, patted Liu Qingning's arm, "Qingning, I heard you like listening to songs; the next round of guest performances is coming up soon, Pei Yanke will be on stage, and I've arranged a seat for you in the front row; how about taking your friends over to listen?"

As if wanting to see through her.

Those 3 years in the Imperial Capital were perhaps his way of accompanying her in the past, and re-adjusting with her.

Banquet scene.

"How can it not be strong? Senior Qin was Jin Dongshi's assistant, and now she's a director of Qingning Technology."

Liu Qingning also stood up from her seat and looked over, her eyes brightening.

"Qingning, I didn't expect Tang Song to be so powerful; he really doesn't show his true colors! Tsk-tsk, he's usually too low-key, haha." Xiang Kai picked up his champagne, took a big sip, and said with a smile, "Happy for you, congratulations."

Recalling it now, she really didn't know Tang Song well enough.

As the current lead singer of Echo, whether it was her voice, technique, breath, or emotion and stage presence, everything was impeccable.

Xiang Kai gasped, a look of panic flashing in his eyes.

Because her family conditions weren't good, during summer and winter vacations, she would also take on some programming-related part-time jobs through classmates and teachers.

She had heard Zhao Yaqian say once before that when signing the trust, she, Luo Bin, and Mo Xiang Wan were all present.

Especially since he had also used many buff items on 【Female Star】 in the game, it could already be considered developed to the extreme.

Her words were true.

Li Ziying and Xiang Kai, who walked back, stood there silently, their heartbeats getting faster and faster.

Although he was always proud, he also had self-knowledge.

However, at this moment, the gazes these people cast toward them were all friendly and enthusiastic.

Li Ziying and Xiang Kai's hearts jumped at the same time.

And Su Yu could also feel better in her heart.

"Mm." Liu Qingning nodded with difficulty, her gaze lowered, her hands tightly clenched in front of her.

Why is this? The same question appeared in many people's minds.

Even if it was just a tiny bit of equity, she was already financially free now.

That's why she couldn't imagine the scene she was seeing.

Didn't expect it to be so full of ups and downs.

She hadn't denied her relationship with Tang Song in front of others, nor would she explain this to Xiang Kai.

Shirt, hip-hugging skirt, striped suit, made her look exquisite and capable, her eyes bright and spirited.

Hearing Mo Xiang Wan's words, Tang Song instantly realized it in his heart.

For Liu Qingning, she was really very curious and had always wanted to have deep contact with her.

"Qingning!" Liu Shuang suppressed her excitement and shock, whispering, "Tang Song... what is going on with Tang Song?"

He naturally knew Liu Qingning's mood now, but he didn't intend to hide it from her.

And let them persuade the investors of Century Zhixue to agree to develop in Shenzhen.

This hour tonight was absolutely the most wonderful experience of their lives.

2017? Mo Xiang Wan? Tang Zong Entertainment shares? At that time, Tang Zong Entertainment had just started, and Su Yu was at a low point in her life.

Although he had unlocked the character Mo Xiang Wan, there were still great limitations; at the very least, his actions couldn't affect the character charm score.

As alumni, there would subconsciously be a sense of closeness.

As he spoke, Tang Song placed his hand lightly on his "white moonlight's" waist and patted it.

Looking at Tang Song's expression, Mo Xiang Wan hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Then how about this, this house will be for Qingning to live in first."

Li Ziying took a breath, held her hand, and said, "I previously thought he only had cooperation with Pei Yanke and Bei Yuwei in work; I didn't expect him to be a shareholder of Tang Zong Entertainment? An entertainment tycoon?"

Originally, Qin Yingxue had told her that she would only arrive during the final celebrity sharing segment as a guest to share investment insights.

As a result, who would have thought that she would kick an iron plate and end up with a bloody head.

Tang Song nodded nonchalantly, "Of course I remember."

His voice was very small, and only a few people around could hear it.

"Okay..."

Becoming a company shareholder at that time was equivalent to buying a lottery ticket that won the grand prize.

Although he was a well-known director, he ultimately had to rely on capital.

Her personality was resilient, calm, and composed, and she was also professionally skilled, had excellent leadership, very high emotional and intellectual intelligence, a great sense of the big picture, and cherished loyalty.

There were some things she didn't dare to say, such as Jin Meixiao's stimulation of Su Yu.

Just like the evaluation in the game.

Tang Song's eyes blinked; Shenzhen Bay No. 1 property, any one of them was worth tens of millions, and he gave it away just like that.

This President Tang really had changed a lot, having much more human touch than in the past.

Standing there, calmly scanning the entire venue, as if looking for someone.

Tang Song nodded, "Okay."

This scene seemed somewhat familiar.

She had heard Qin Yingxue's speech at school and had a deep impression of this beautiful senior, recognizing her at a glance.

If it was just having a good relationship with Mo Xiang Wan, that wouldn't be anything; after all, who didn't have a few friends.

Later, he gave up on taking the postgraduate entrance exam and entered Meigou Technology, while she started her own business with Professor Wang Chang and the others.

However, there was no such opportunity before.

"Mm, thanks, Xiang Wan." Tang Song looked appreciatively at the elegant and beautiful manager opposite him; she was worthy of being his direct subordinate; this loyalty was impeccable.

On the stage in front, the host appeared again.

He explained in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you before that I had equity in several companies? Tang Zong Entertainment is one of them; Xiang Wan and I met in 2017, when we were still in the second semester of our freshman year."

Mo Xiang Wan glanced, signaled to Tang Song, and picked up the call, "Hey, Xiao Ju."

"Ding~" The sound of glass clinking rang out.

The reason she was so confident was because she knew he liked her and knew he would come to the Imperial Capital.

Because his parents both worked in the entertainment industry, he knew the meaning this name represented even better.

Qin Yingxue took a light sip of wine, her bright eyes staring at Liu Qingning without blinking.

Don't know how much time had passed.

Tonight, Tang Song accompanied her to attend the Juxing Huicui banquet and also had contact with Pei Yanke.

"Oh? What is it?" Tang Song's eyebrows raised.

In reality, this was only their second meeting, and her heart was still full of novelty.

As practitioners in the AI field, and having had cooperation with Qingning Technology, they naturally knew this company.

"President Tang." Mo Xiang Wan turned to look at Tang Song and said softly, "There are some things I've always wanted to tell you; it just so happens we're meeting today; is it convenient?"

A buzzing sound instantly echoed in their ears.

Tang Song he might not understand, but he had been watching Liu Qingning all along.

This was the opportunity she had waited for for several years.

As a result, taking advantage of the time she wasn't in the main venue, she went in early to contact Liu Qingning.

Why do I have absolutely no idea? Why did he never tell me? She knew she had started to get busy after entering college and had indeed neglected Tang Song, but this was too bizarre.

The two didn't walk far before they saw Qin Yingxue walk out of the crowd and pace straight to the big stage in front.

Originally thought that being at the Juxing Huicui banquet scene, they should be inconspicuous little shrimps.

Being in the gorgeous music hall made them particularly eye-catching.

Feeling Mo Xiang Wan let go of her, Liu Qingning took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Thank you, President Mo, have we... met before?"

Tang Song leaned back, interested, "By the way, tell me about Wen Ruan's situation in the Magic City, and her interaction with Su Yu."

Qin Yingxue said with bright eyes, "How about it? Interested? Of course, if you want to come directly to the head office, that's also possible; it all depends on your wishes."

She really won the bet! As long as she let Mo Xiang Wan or Su Yu see photos of her being intimate with Tang Song later, then she would be Tang Song's person on the surface.

Fortunately, the biggest problem had been solved; Tang Song didn't pursue Su Yu's fault, and what followed was nothing more than the scramble for Liu Qingning.

If the person in front of her wasn't Mo Xiang Wan, and if she wasn't on good terms with Tang Song.

Beautiful to her level, she could already be counted as a work of art; no matter how long you looked at her, you wouldn't get tired. "Xiao Yu is doing quite well lately; I will relay your evaluation; she will definitely be so happy she won't be able to sleep." Mo Xiang Wan sighed, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "President Tang, actually, I came to find you today because there are some things I want to explain to you, about Qingning."

Liu Qingning's face flushed slightly, and she let out a breath somewhat awkwardly.

Qin Yingxue smiled, "President Tang has already sent your information to the company's CHO Liang Mingzhe; originally, President Liang was going to contact you, but I happened to be free, so I came over personally."

"I will relay it word for word." Mo Xiang Wan's face looked slightly excited; her body leaned forward slightly, and she took an Hermes card holder out of her jacket pocket and handed it over, "President Tang, this is a property purchased by Xiao Yu at Shenzhen Bay No. 1 T5, which has already been re-decorated, as her compensation to Qingning. Besides that, she can personally call Qingning to apologize to her solemnly."

Letting Su Yu apologize to Liu Qingning and give a house, Tang Song really couldn't do such a thing.

Then what about the so-called Qingning Technology!?

Liu Qingning picked up her wine glass and took a sip, "Thank you."

Liu Shuang and Li Ziying looked at each other and didn't continue to ask.

Immediately after, Liu Qingning and the three were led to walk toward the front row.

It was already equivalent to wanting to show her cards to Liu Qingning.

"Qin Yingxue?" Tang Song raised his eyebrows.

Xiang Kai looked at Liu Qingning not far away, thought for a while, stood up, and walked toward that side.

Instantly stirred up the atmosphere of the scene.

Liu Qingning's body trembled, and she said in disbelief, "Senior Qin, why is this?"

The distance was getting closer and closer, and she could clearly hear her steady footsteps.

Since they couldn't chat about business, then chat about gossip.

Liu Qingning and the three sat in carefully.

Li Ziying and Liu Shuang's eyes suddenly widened, their breathing rapid, their faces flushed.

She was planning to work at Qingning Technology, so she cherished this rare opportunity very much.

Xiang Kai shook his head, "Should be no problem."

However, she didn't know that the boy who had agreed to meet her at the peak was also constantly changing and moving forward.

Soon, her gaze fixed in one direction, and a shallow smile appeared on her face.

She couldn't even imagine what kind of expression Su Yu would have when she heard Tang Song's answer.

Actually took the initiative to apologize to Su Yu, and without any intention of blaming her.

Looking at the tall and cold Qin Yingxue in front of her, Liu Qingning's red lips moved, and she held her hand, "Deafening, hello Senior Qin."

Otherwise, with Su Yu's personality, she wouldn't dare to do this at all.

"Of course we've met, but it was one-sided on my part. Today can be considered officially meeting for the first time, and it can be considered fulfilling a wish of mine." Mo Xiang Wan held her smooth arm, smiling, "There will be many opportunities for contact in the future; I believe we will become very good friends, don't you think?"

Tang Zong Entertainment was initially just an accessory to his "star cultivation" game, and a cash cow for the early development stage.

What is all this? How is it so magical! Qin Yingxue let go of her little hand, her voice gentle, "Sit down and chat for a while, how about it? To tell you the truth, I came over today just to find you."

Liu Qingning withdrew her gaze, her gaze sweeping across the surroundings; they were all celebrities, socialites, and leaders of investment companies.

"Thank you, President Tang!" Mo Xiang Wan's face instantly showed a look of relief, and she looked at him somewhat incredibly.

Looking at Tang Song, who was silent, Mo Xiang Wan explained somewhat uneasily, "She had no malicious intent; it was just that her emotions were a bit broken at the time, and she wanted to get your attention, which is why she did the wrong thing."

Liu Qingning twisted her body and asked in a low voice, "Senior Qin, how did you know about me? What are you looking for me for?"

He, including his parents, as well as many relatives, all worked in the entertainment industry.

It couldn't possibly be true, right? However, at least with the degree of familiarity he and Mo Xiang Wan showed, letting a girl group or singer sing live for her was absolutely no problem.

In the middle of the front row, the seat was gently pulled open.

Independent rest area outside the music hall.

Immediately after, she saw Qin Yingxue walk toward their side.

With the endorsement of Tang Yi Precision's cooperation, they definitely wouldn't refuse, which was why there was this matter of Century Zhixue moving south.

This matter had always been like a mountain pressing on her; sometimes she would be scared awake when dreaming at night.

Bei Yuwei couldn't help but curl her mouth, a crystal-clear light flashing in her eyes, subconsciously looking in the direction of Director Lü Boyu.

She took the initiative to reach out, "Hello, Junior Qingning, let's get to know each other; I am Qin Yingxue; I don't know if you've heard my name."

"Hiss—" Li Ziying and the three gasped again.

"Okay." Mo Xiang Wan breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a warm smile, "Then I'll chat with Qingning directly in a bit, see what else she needs, and I will also care about her and Xiao Yu often in the future, trying to make them get along harmoniously."

"I know."

Tang Song pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

As long as Mo Xiang Wan said one word, he would instantly be relegated to a marginal figure in this circle.

Thinking about it, Tang Song shook his head, "No need, this matter is my fault; I neglected my care for Su Yu."

But if you added the identity of a shareholder of Tang Zong Entertainment, it was a completely different concept.

However, this matter was too outrageous this time, and she couldn't figure it out no matter what.

She had never heard of her knowing Mo Xiang Wan, nor had she heard of her having any intersection with the entertainment industry.

Liu Qingning looked at Tang Song and said in a low voice, "Okay, thank you, President Mo."

"Don't be so polite with me." Mo Xiang Wan signaled to the staff beside her.

"Senior Qin." Li Ziying mustered her courage and took the initiative to greet her.

She was immersed in the realization of her own self-worth, putting her career and making money in the first place, and had planned Tang Song's future on her own.

Every time they chatted in college, it was urging him to study, chatting with him about new technologies and future development in the computer industry.

Qin Yingxue glanced at her, nodded lightly, and brushed past them.

One good news after another, one order after another, higher and higher valuations, one salary after another...

These women of hers were really more generous than herself.

Noticing Tang Song's somewhat excessive gaze, Mo Xiang Wan tilted her legs slightly and smiled, "Is President Tang going to comment on my outfit today?"

If the roles were reversed, and she was in Tang Song's position, perhaps her feelings would also change.

After all, it was an SR character she had cultivated herself, so naturally, she looked at it and felt it was pleasing.

Li Ziying had also accompanied Wei Ping to attend some investment forums and conferences.

Recalling the scenes just now, it was still somewhat unbelievable.

Instantly refreshed.

Hanging up the phone, Mo Xiang Wan's chest heaved for a while.

This AI search software was currently fully formed and had been put into the global market, with an industry valuation exceeding 6 billion US dollars, half of Tang Zong Entertainment.

Seed round, angel round, A round.

"2017, Tang Zong Entertainment had just started at that time, right? How did he do it?"

Although she had some achievements and accomplishments in the AI field, at most she would enter a team as an engineer, and she was still far from reaching such a high level.

"As it should be."

She sighed deeply, feeling extremely conflicted in her heart.

As long as she let Qin Yingxue remember her, maybe when she met her in the company again, it would be an opportunity.

At this very moment, Lü Boyu had completely lost his previous calmness and composure; his face was pale, and he stood in the crowd without moving.

Thinking of this, she cast her gaze toward Tang Song beside her.

Mo Xiang Wan nodded and began to narrate in detail, from the first day Wen Ruan arrived in the Magic City, to the activities she participated in and the work she did.

What exactly happened to him in the 7 years after graduating from high school? Liu Shuang and Li Ziying, who had just recovered, almost sat back down on their seats.

They were also graduate students from top 2 universities in the country, and they had all seen some of the world.

Now what he was thinking about was how to minimize himself.

There were some people who absolutely couldn't be offended.

Although he didn't say it explicitly just now, he had already offended Tang Song to a certain extent.

For example, Liu Shuang had even seen Ouyang Xianyue a few times.

Li Ziying licked her lips and said, "Xiang Kai, I see many people from your company have gone over; can you take me to say hello?"

"Mm, then I'll go back first and chat with you later." Liu Shuang patted his shoulder and turned to walk toward her seat.

Putting down her phone, Mo Xiang Wan said softly, "President Tang, there's one more thing I haven't told you; Director Qin Yingxue of Qingning Technology is also coming tonight and has already arrived."

Dancing in the night, a beauty blooming like a white lotus.

Strictly speaking, the female star was the most miserable one among all of them, completely PUA-ed into a "love brain."

Liu Qingning said in disbelief, "Qingmi Technology? Person in charge?"

"And he was only a freshman at that time; where did he get the money?"

"Then let's go!"

Just as this thought popped up, she saw Qin Yingxue stop in front of Liu Qingning.

"I know." Tang Song shook his head lightly and sighed, "It's okay, actually... it's my fault; I neglected Su Yu's feelings; I can understand Su Yu's thoughts; she must be very uncomfortable."

With this big backer, those executives, directors, and brand parties, who would dare to touch her!

"It really is Senior Qin, exactly the same as in the photo! The momentum is too strong! It can be compared to that President Mo."

With the biggest worry resolved, her whole body relaxed.

Since she couldn't afford to offend them, then she would build a good relationship.

There is also a singing practice room left by Su Yu in the house, which has professional equipment."

The team members were extremely gorgeous.

Being able to grow step by step into the behemoth group it was today absolutely couldn't be separated from Mo Xiang Wan's painstaking efforts.

As if she had a premonition that something big was about to happen.

Whether it was appearance or ability, they were all very outstanding.

She sang a classic hit of Su Yu's from a few years ago.

Listening to the questions of the two friends, Liu Qingning's brain was also a bit muddled, and she shook her head, "I... don't know; I actually didn't have much contact with him in college."

As a friend, she naturally had to come over to comfort her.

She would definitely work in the Qingning Building opposite in the future; it was safer here and more convenient.

"Are you okay, Xiang Kai?" Liu Shuang whispered, "We don't understand Tang Song's situation; you should look on the bright side."

Excluding the filter, Su Yu was absolutely the most beautiful person he had ever seen.

It was the development team of the heavyweight product "Qingmi AI" incubated within Qingning Technology.

Liu Shuang sat back in her original seat, looking blankly at the two people in front of her.

The joke that once felt ethereal now seemed to have a certain possibility.

Liu Qingning, however, had no mind to appreciate this outstanding performance.

Just at this moment, Li Ziying, who had finished using the bathroom, walked back quickly.

She shouted excitedly in a low voice, "Senior Qin is here! I just saw several leaders of Juxing Huicui receiving her there!"

After the product was launched, Century Zhixue could get a steady stream of profit sharing.

Before, Liu Qingning had told him that their company was also very strange, why a pie would fall from the sky, and they suddenly got a big order from Sijue Education.

Xiang Kai shook his head, "I know, it's okay, it's already in the past."

Of course, this had nothing to do with Ms. Ouyang; before the incident, she knew nothing about it."

He didn't seem to have much psychological fluctuation, still the same light and airy appearance.

She knew Xiang Kai's thoughts; coming here this time was originally to show off his presence and put pressure on Tang Song.

"Looking for me... okay." Liu Qingning's full chest heaved, and she sat down.

Tang Zong Entertainment's Mo Xiang Wan, the iron-blooded strong woman Mo Xiang Wan.

Included IOI gold medalists, genius programmers who had worked at Google and OpenAI, and well-known AI scientists.

Immediately, her gaze turned to Tang Song beside her, and the excitement in her heart almost swallowed her up.

This... what is going on!? Li Ziying turned around stiffly, took a deep breath, and walked back again.

She seemed to have unintentionally failed his expectations and also caused him harm.

Li Ziying and Xiang Kai looked back and saw Liu Qingning and Liu Shuang standing there with nervous expressions.

It turned out it was because of Su Yu.

Actually, her psychological quality was very good, and she had always been very rational and mature, with stable emotions.

The training machine was provided with a large model by Century Zhixue, Sijue provided the software system, and Tang Yi Precision provided terminal R&D.

And in her imagination, Tang Song should be like he was in his senior year of high school, working hard to study, take the postgraduate entrance exam, and work every day.

If that were the case, she wouldn't be so nervous.

Looking at it this way, his change in feelings for her seemed to be excusable.

"Thanks!" The smile on Mo Xiang Wan's face gradually expanded, "This is the first time I've heard President Tang praise my appearance; it's an honor. It's worth mentioning that President Tang is very handsome and dashing today; if Xiao Yu were here, she definitely wouldn't be able to walk."

"Da—"

Just after one President Mo left, another Senior Qin came.

"Ding-a-ling—" The phone ringtone suddenly rang.

Now her mind was full of what Tang Song had said at the Shenzhen Talent Park before.

Mo Xiang Wan pondered for a moment, weighing her words, "Last October, Xiao Yu found Sijue Education Co., Ltd. and asked them to contact Century Zhixue to cooperate in developing a training machine."

Tang Song and Mo Xiang Wan sat opposite each other, curiously sizing up this 【Manager】 in the game.

Noticing the gaze she cast, Tang Song blinked playfully and echoed Mo Xiang Wan, "Qingning is indeed very cute."

Mo Xiang Wan touched her head affectionately again, "Qingning, you're really cute."

Hair tied with a claw clip, wearing exquisite fashion, exuding a full cold and ascetic aura.

It's Tang Song again!

Liu Qingning's hand clenched tightly, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Qin Yingxue leaned slightly to her ear and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Qingning, have you ever thought that the name Qingning Technology came because of you?"

A "buzz" echoed in Liu Qingning's mind, and the noisy banquet venue around her became blurry.
