Chapter 385

Because Qin Yingxue's popularity was far lower than Mo Xiang Wan's, and she had very little contact with the entertainment industry.

After a small-scale chaos, the banquet scene quickly returned to normal.

Waiters walked around with food and wine.

Beautiful piano music drifted in the air, and the big screen played introduction videos of investment projects and management teams.

However, Liu Qingning seemed to have gone deaf, sitting there blankly, unable to hear anything.

Flashes of what Tang Song had said before appeared in her mind.

【"The name Qingning Technology suits you very well, and the industry is the same; isn't it very destined? Have you ever thought about working there?"】

【"No problem! Since this company is called Qingning Technology, it should belong to you."】

Artificial intelligence, Qingning Technology, Qingning Building.

Vocabulary words drifted past her eyes one by one.

The events of tonight had too much impact on her, and she couldn't react.

After a long while, she opened her mouth, her voice dry, "Senior Qin, you're joking, right?"

When the name of Qingning Technology began to spread in the tech circle, colleagues and friends often teased her with this name.

After arriving in Shenzhen, such things happened from time to time.

If it weren't for Qin Yingxue saying it herself, she would absolutely treat it as a joke and throw it to the back of her mind.

"Of course not." Qin Yingxue shook her head with a smile and whispered, "This name was given by President Tang; it was determined at the beginning of the project in 2018. Why do you think he gave this name? Is it because he likes eating green lemons?"

Liu Qingning's lips trembled, and she muttered to herself, "He gave it? He gave the name? 2018."

Qin Yingxue gently held her hand, her eyes shining, "President Tang is a shareholder of our Qingning Technology and also one of the founders. When you graduated, Qingning Technology officially landed in Shenzhen.

Over the past few years, we have recruited many of our alumni one after another, which is actually paving the way for you.

I don't need to say much about the future of artificial intelligence; you should also understand the prospects of Qingning Technology.

Including the 3 years in the Imperial Capital before, the things he did for you, and the effort and energy he put in, far exceeded your imagination."

"I..." Liu Qingning pursed her lips, her heart already in chaos.

In 2018, she first came into comprehensive contact with the new field of artificial intelligence and was greatly shocked.

Subsequently, she began to follow Professor Wang Chang and invest in competition projects.

During that time, the topics she chatted about most with Tang Song on WeChat were "AI," "Large Models," and "NLP."

And she also encouraged Tang Song to study it, saying the future prospects were very good.

It was also from that time that busyness completely became the background color of her life, and the time she had to contact him became less and less.

Didn't expect... didn't expect... Tang Song had actually kept it in his heart all along.

The initial "meet at the peak" was both her encouragement to him and a spur to herself.

While she was working hard, he had never slacked off, and had even worked harder than her.

And he had truly achieved her past expectations.

Tears gradually accumulated in her eye sockets.

"Ding~" A crisp collision sound rang out.

Qin Yingxue toasted with Liu Qingning on her own and drank the champagne in one gulp.

Then she beckoned to a passing waiter, took two more glasses and placed them on the table, quietly looking at Liu Qingning opposite.

She knew that her goal this time had already been achieved.

Mo Xiang Wan thought she was here to make trouble and put eye drops on Su Yu, but how could Jin Dongshi be so bored?

There was only one goal Jin Dongshi wanted to achieve.

Let Liu Qingning give up the idea of wanting to monopolize.

Many words, when spoken by President Tang himself, had an effect far lower than Liu Qingning discovering them herself.

Taking advantage of the timing of President Tang showing his cards today, and taking advantage of the impact brought by Mo Xiang Wan, having herself say the matter of Qingning Technology directly achieved the best effect.

Women are all emotional; even someone as strong as Jin Dongshi is no exception, and Liu Qingning naturally wouldn't be an exception.

"Qingning, President Tang is currently not holding a position at Qingning Technology, and this industry is extremely important to him; you shouldn't refuse my invitation, right?"

Liu Qingning looked up at this senior, was silent for a while, and said in a low voice, "I accept."

"Great, from now on we are partners and colleagues, fighting together for a beautiful future, cheers!" Qin Yingxue raised her glass again and shook it at her.

"Thank you, Senior Qin."

Following the cold wine entering her throat, looking at Liu Qingning's expression.

Qin Yingxue showed a bright smile on her face; the mission was successfully completed.

Agreeing to enter Qingning Technology meant that she had already given up some persistence in her heart.

Everything that followed would be a matter of course.

The difficult problem Jin Dongshi was most concerned about could be considered to have been initially solved.

By comparison, that Tian Jing, who was training at the Smile Holdings head office in the Imperial Capital, was much simpler.

And I heard that girl was very strange, seeming not to care about marriage at all, and had little interest in wealth and career.

Although she loved to play and liked to pursue some interesting and exciting things, her social circle was very clean, and she had some little schemes of her own.

This point was really deeply loved by Jin Dongshi.

I heard she had already considered transferring her to her side to work.

After drinking a glass of wine.

Qin Yingxue checked the time, took a business card out of her bag and handed it to Liu Qingning, saying warmly, "I need to go prepare for the sharing segment that follows; adjust yourself well this weekend, and come to Qingning Technology next week; I'll take you to get to know our company well."

Liu Qingning carefully put her business card away, "Okay, thank you, Senior Qin."

"Just call me by my name in the future, bye." Qin Yingxue patted her arm, first nodded to Li Ziying and the two, and then stood up and walked toward the waiting area.

"Bye." "Goodbye, Senior." "Bye."

Watching Qin Yingxue's graceful and tall figure leave, Liu Shuang and Li Ziying breathed a long sigh of relief, their whole bodies going limp on the seats.

Swallowing, Li Ziying said excitedly, "Qingning... this... are you really going to Qingning Technology? Person in charge of Qingmi AI? Is it true? I didn't hear wrong just now, did I?"

Liu Qingning said with a complex tone, "Mm, if there are no problems, I should join next week."

Just as Qin Yingxue said, since Qingning Technology contained Tang Song's effort and hard work for her, how could she fail his expectations?

Tang Zong Entertainment, Qingning Technology.

She had already missed the most critical 7 years of Tang Song, and what she wanted to do now was to understand him more and explore what had happened around him during these 7 years.

The noisy banquet was still continuing.

As guests, Qin Yingxue and a well-known economic scholar in the industry sat on the stage and began the exchange and sharing segment of investment insights.

Noticing the gazes the leaders of Juxing Huicui cast here from time to time, and then looking at Liu Qingning in front.

Xiang Kai wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked up a glass of red wine with difficulty, and drank it in one gulp.

His dry throat gradually got relief.

Liu Qingning and Tang Song were both invited by him, which was very easy to check.

However, at this very moment, he was even more muddled than these leaders.

The scenes tonight were really like a dream, illusory and bizarre.

Making him once suspect that he had fallen into a nightmare state.

Although it was very magical, the fact was that Tang Song was a big shot who could influence Tang Zong Entertainment and Qingning Technology.

Even the "Qingmi AI," valued at 6 billion US dollars, could be handed over to Liu Qingning to be in charge of.

Thinking of this, the last bit of thought in Xiang Kai's heart vanished into thin air.

Being able to get into Imperial Capital University and reach his current position, he naturally wasn't a person whose brain was filled with sperm, and he knew very well how to make trade-offs.

Immediately after, his body tensed again, and he looked up toward the front side of the hall.

Tang Song, wearing a suit, reappeared at the banquet scene.

He first stood there and looked in the direction of Qin Yingxue, then walked straight toward this side.

Qin Yingxue on the stage seemed to have sensed something, put down the microphone, stood up from the soft sofa, and gathered her respectful gaze on him.

Soon, more and more people noticed this figure.

Regarding his identity, it had already quietly spread among the crowd.

Shareholder of Tang Zong Entertainment, and on very good terms with Mo Xiang Wan.

Just these two pieces of news were enough to make them maintain 100% respect.

Not to mention there was also a Qin Yingxue.

Tang Song, who was at the center of the gaze, carried a faint smile, his posture always calm and composed.

His flowing gaze carried a faint sense of detachment, yet made people unable to help wanting to get close.

The luxurious and brilliant banquet scene gradually quieted down, and the crystal chandelier sprinkled light like a waterfall.

The crisp navy blue suit on his body shimmered with a dark and noble luster, perfectly fitting his tall figure with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.

He just walked through the crowd calmly, yet became the only protagonist of the scene.

Appearance, temperament, wealth, demeanor, power...

The charm of nearly 70 points was perfectly presented at this moment.

The attraction he had at this moment was huge, whether for men or for women.

Men longed to get close to his power and wealth and become his friends.

Women expected to have their gazes meet his and have some intersection with him.

The service staff who were originally busy and orderly shuttling around also became extra cautious.

Bei Yuwei, who was below the stage, had a heartbeat faster than ever before, feeling the breath of love for the first time.

Recalling their first meeting and that fleeting kiss, she couldn't help but blush and have a racing heart.

Before, she mainly held the idea of offering herself and clinging to him, but at this very moment, she had truly fallen in love.

"Qingning, Tang Song is coming." Liu Shuang lightly touched her friend beside her, her voice a bit shaky.

Liu Qingning, who was in a daze, quickly came back to her senses, turned around, her red lips parted slightly, and she looked blankly at Tang Song walking toward her.

Their gazes met, and a good-looking smile appeared on his face, as if to melt her heart.

Liu Qingning's nose felt sour, and mist gradually floated in her watery big eyes.

"Waited a long time, right? Xiang Wan and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so we chatted for a while." Tang Song sat down beside her and held her little hand lightly.

"Not long."

Tang Song squeezed her hand, looked up at Qin Yingxue on the stage, and nodded lightly.

Qin Yingxue smiled warmly, picked up the microphone, and started sharing investment insights again.

Only this time, her attitude became very serious; she spoke clearly and beautifully, adding gestures and movements from time to time, as if reporting work to a leader.

After the 20-minute exchange and sharing segment ended.

It officially entered the free exchange cocktail party stage.

Qin Yingxue stepped off the stage directly and walked to Tang Song with clean and neat steps.

Reaching out her hand, her voice was sweet, "Good evening, President Tang."

"Good evening, Yingxue, the speech just now was very brilliant." Tang Song smiled and held her hand, sizing up this "Assistant Qin" nonchalantly.

Cold and beautiful, her age should be about the same as Wen Ruan's, and her temperament was excellent.

The dream memory he currently obtained only went up to January 1, 2017.

At that time, he didn't even remember her name; he just knew she was one of Secretary Jin's assistants.

Similar to her was Jiang Yourong.

Although there were some simple impressions in his memory, they weren't clear.

Hearing Tang Song call her name, Qin Yingxue showed uncontrollable excitement in her eyes, "Thank you for President Tang's praise!"

Noticing this scene, Liu Shuang and Li Ziying were startled again.

This cold Senior Qin actually had such an enthusiastic and sweet side?

She spoke so kindly, as if she had turned into a different person.

"Sit down and have two drinks together?" Tang Song gestured.

"Then I'll disturb you." Qin Yingxue sat down opposite him carefully, her gaze lowered.

Tang Song reached out his distinct-jointed hand, picked up the wine glass, and clinked it with hers; the amber liquid in the glass swayed in the brilliant light.

As his Adam's apple rolled, the wine slid smoothly into his throat.

Qin Yingxue looked at Tang Song at this very moment and was slightly lost in thought.

It was really because this President Tang had brought her too much pressure in the past.

That she would one day be sitting face-to-face with him drinking and chatting, and still be getting along with her in such a relaxed and gentle posture.

After a few simple pleasantries.

Qin Yingxue gradually stabilized her mind and said softly, "President Tang, I saw the email you sent to HR before. I've already chatted with Qingning just now, and she agreed to join Qingning Technology."

"Oh?" Tang Song turned his head to look at Liu Qingning, "I originally wanted to wait until the banquet was over to chat with you properly; how about it? A surprise?"

As he spoke, his hand lightly hooked the palm of his "white moonlight."

The numbness coming from her palm made Liu Qingning's face hot, and she whispered, "I was scared; too many things happened tonight, and I'm a bit dizzy now."

Tang Song blinked, "I'll explain it to you slowly later."

Looking at the two whispering, Qin Yingxue's eyebrows jumped, and she tried hard to remain calm.

Just at this moment, Mo Xiang Wan walked over with a smile and sat down beside her, "Yingxue."

"Good evening, Sister Xiang Wan."

"Sorry, I was dealing with some urgent matters just now." Mo Xiang Wan patted her leg lightly, appearing to be in an excellent mood, "Come, let's have a drink."

"Do you need my help?"

"No, it's about Su Yu's side, good news." Mo Xiang Wan smiled and raised her eyebrows at her lightly.

Qin Yingxue's eyes flashed, and she smiled and clinked glasses with her.

No matter what, in front of Tang Song, they were always intimate and friendly.

Hearing Su Yu's name, Liu Qingning couldn't help but ask, "President Mo, when will Su Yu's new album be released?"

She was a true fan, and as Su Yu, who was currently the most popular and had dozens of hit songs, it naturally made her extra concerned.

Liu Shuang and Li Ziying, who were in the corner, also cast curious gazes.

Regarding Su Yu's new album, the internet was almost going crazy discussing it.

"New album?" Mo Xiang Wan answered seriously, "It was originally going to be released in February next year, but... if you want to hear it sooner, I'll see if the date can be moved up."

"Ah?" Liu Qingning's heart jumped, "This... I didn't mean that; I was just asking."

She was really just purely curious and didn't want to use Tang Song's identity as a shareholder to affect normal commercial promotion.

Tang Song's mouth curled up, "Qingning really likes Su Yu's songs; she basically listens to them every day."

"Thanks for Qingning's liking." Mo Xiang Wan looked at Liu Qingning and nodded gently, "I'll discuss it with Xiao Yu to see if we can set the release date on October 13th this year."

Hearing this date, Liu Shuang's hand shook, and the expression on her face was extremely exaggerated.

She and Liu Qingning were college roommates, so she naturally knew this was the other party's birthday.

Good heavens, what kind of heaven-defying scene is this?

One sentence to change the date of Su Yu's new album! This is Su Yu!

Liu Qingning took a deep breath and whispered, "President Mo, don't scare me."

"Hehe, don't be nervous, Qingning; the songs have already been written; it's just that Xiao Yu is too lazy and has no mind to record the album; I'll have a good chat with her later, and I believe she will pull herself together and get the album done quickly."

"Oh, okay."

Listening to the chat between the two, Qin Yingxue's lowered gaze flickered slightly.

Jin Dongshi's arrangement was indeed reasonable.

The night grew deeper, and the neon lights outside the window became more brilliant.

The banquet scene was full of clinking glasses, and the sound of laughter connected into one.

"Hello, Mr. Tang, I am Yang Mo, a partner of Juxing Huicui and a member of the Investment Committee, and also the organizer of this banquet; it is an honor for you to attend the banquet we organized; I toast you."

"President Tang, I am Wang Maolin from the Film and Television Investment Department of Tang Zong Entertainment."

Don't know when it started, people came to the booth area where they were one after another.

Steps were light and slow, attitudes were humble, and their voices carried a hint of nervousness that couldn't be hidden.

Tang Song didn't have too many ripples on his face, just nodded in response with a smile.

The time was approaching 9:00 PM.

Tang Song patted Liu Qingning's waist and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out.

Following his gaze, the smiles on the faces of those female artists and socialites seemed to have been cast with magic, becoming bright and enthusiastic, and the champagne glasses in their hands were unconsciously raised slightly.

Tang Song smiled, feeling the charm brought by power so intuitively for the first time.

It was inevitable to have some emotions in his heart.

Because the rise was too fast, his mentality hadn't actually turned around very well, and the level he was in contact with wasn't high enough.

This trip to Shenzhen was also a pilot for him to step onto a higher stage.

Wiping his hands clean, he had just walked out of the bathroom door.

A familiar perfume scent rushed into his nose; Tang Song looked sideways and saw Bei Yuwei wearing a gold dress.

"Mr. Tang, I was really scared by you today." Bei Yuwei's eyes shone, "Didn't expect you to be a shareholder of our company, and also friends with our President Mo; so powerful; didn't expect I would accidentally make such a badass friend."

Tang Song looked at her and said, "Oh? Are we considered friends?"

"Aren't we?" Bei Yuwei reached out and pointed to her lips, a look of just-right innocence on her face, "I think we are very good friends!"

As she spoke, she lightly touched Tang Song's big hand.

Immediately after, a slip of paper appeared between Tang Song's fingers, "This is my contact information, Mr. Tang; I will miss you."

Looking at the music hall getting closer and closer, Bei Yuwei stood up straight again, restoring her elegant appearance.

Tang Song looked at the little slip of paper in his hand, then looked at Bei Yuwei, who was putting on an act, and couldn't help but purse his lips and smile.

Worthy of being an actor, really a drama queen.

"Pa~" A slight sound rippled out.

Bei Yuwei's body trembled; she subconsciously reached out to touch her butt, her face turning red.

When she came back to her senses, Tang Song's figure had already disappeared around the corner.

By the time she chased after him quickly, Tang Song had already walked into the banquet venue.

He just walked through the crowd calmly under the gazes of everyone, returned to Liu Qingning's side, and chatted with her with a bright smile.

Bei Yuwei looked at this scene quietly, and for some reason, a sense of loss that was hard to describe surged in her heart.

9:30 PM.

In the host's closing remarks, the Juxing Huicui exchange banquet officially came to an end.

Guests left the music hall in an orderly manner.

"No need, no need, the two of us will just take Xiang Kai's car, bye."

"Bye."

Watching Liu Shuang and Li Ziying's figures leave.

Liu Qingning looked at Tang Song beside her, "Are we going back directly? Do you want to walk around outside? I have something I want to tell you."

"We'll talk later; I'll take you to a place first." Tang Song smiled mysteriously and pulled her to walk outside.

Soon, the two got into a business car parked outside.

Because the emotional fluctuation today was really too big, plus she drank a lot of wine, Liu Qingning closed her eyes as soon as she got in the car.

The car started slowly, circled half a lap on the main road, drove straight into the underground garage of Shenzhen Bay No. 1, and finally stopped slowly in front of the T5 underground entrance lobby.

Walking into the brightly lit lobby, they took the elevator.

Tang Song took an access card out of his pocket and swiped it, and soon the elevator went up quickly.

Looking at the sign in the elevator, Liu Qingning's eyes were full of doubt, "This is Building T5 of Shenzhen Bay No. 1?"

"Mm." Tang Song nodded, "We're almost there."

"Ding—" The elevator door opened slowly.

An elegant and sexy figure appeared in the hallway in front.

"President Tang, Qingning."

Liu Qingning paused and hurriedly greeted, "President Mo!"

"Let's go, I'll take you in." Mo Xiang Wan nodded with a smile.

Liu Qingning, who had originally drunk a lot of wine and was a bit dizzy, didn't think much, looked at Tang Song, and obediently followed.

The three walked a few steps in the hallway and came to a black armored door.

Mo Xiang Wan gently opened the door.

Immediately after, a very artistic entryway came into view.

Walking into the room, the spacious living room was suddenly enlightened.

Large floor-to-ceiling windows took in the brilliant night view of Shenzhen Bay.

The city lights and the bay's waves reflected each other, forming a beautiful picture.

The crystal chandelier sprinkled soft light, illuminating the high-end sofa, coffee table, and island, creating a warm and luxurious atmosphere.

Mo Xiang Wan held Liu Qingning's hand and began to wander around the house.

"This house is 320 square meters in total, 3 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, 3 bathrooms, plus a nanny suite; I've already arranged the nanny, and she can be on duty at any time."

"This is the master bedroom; there are currently only some pajamas, scarves, and daily necessities inside, all brand new."

"Come, Qingning, look here; you'll definitely like it."

Mo Xiang Wan pulled her arm and pushed open the door to another suite.

Immediately after, a luxurious singing practice room appeared before Liu Qingning's eyes.

Very individual decoration style, rich functional areas, professional-level equipment, gorgeous lighting design...

Dreamy and full of atmosphere.

Liu Qingning couldn't help but sigh, "So beautiful."

Her hobbies weren't many, but singing was absolutely the biggest one.

When she was in school, she had always fantasized about having a singing practice room where she could play freely in the future.

"As long as you like it. You will work at the Qingning Building next; the location here is very suitable; I arranged it simply; if there is anything else you need, just tell me, and I'll arrange it."

Hearing this, Liu Qingning instantly woke up, "Thanks for President Mo's kindness, but really no need; where I live now isn't far, and if I need to rent a house nearby, I can do it myself."

A house with this layout and decoration in Shenzhen Bay No. 1 cost at least over 100,000 a month in rent.

"It's different here; guess who the owner of this house is?"

Liu Qingning paused, "Who is it?"

"Su Yu; this singing practice room was designed by herself, exactly the same as the one in her home in the Magic City."

Liu Qingning's full chest heaved, and she muttered, "Su Yu?"

Hearing this name again, recalling the scenes that happened tonight.

Liu Qingning suddenly looked up and asked, "President Mo, do Su Yu and Tang Song know each other?"

The smile on Mo Xiang Wan's face paused slightly, "They know each other."

Liu Qingning took a deep breath, and a strong sixth sense surged in her heart.

Su Yu might be Tang Song's girlfriend.
