Chapter 404: Power and Influence Are a Man's Best Outer Garment

August 26, 2023, Saturday. Rain. 19–21°C.

After Limit of Heat, the summer warmth ceases; one autumn rain brings one chill.

The air was filled with the damp scent of earth.

Fine rain drifted down silently like ox hairs, spreading a thin veil over the ground without a sound.

7:00 AM.

"Ding-ling-ling—" The alarm clock rang incessantly in the small room.

A fair, soft arm stretched out from under the covers, fumbling around for a while before finally grasping the phone.

Xu Qing opened her eyes groggily and turned off the alarm.

She rolled over and continued to sleep soundly.

Fortunately, she had foresight; ten minutes later, the second alarm arrived as scheduled.

Xu Qing twisted her body, muttering to herself, before reluctantly sitting up in bed.

As the quilt slid off her, a cool breeze swept over her.

Xu Qing instantly became much more awake.

Yawning, she got out of bed, used the restroom, and changed into an autumn tracksuit.

She went to the living room, exercised on the elliptical for a while, and watched the rainy scenery outside the balcony.

Xu Qing's dark eyes darted around before she opened Tang Song's WeChat chat window.

She left a message: "It's so cold today, but I, who am used to waking up early for morning exercise, have already started my daily fitness routine."

Then she struck a pose, took a selfie, and shared it with him.

After sending the photo, Xu Qing couldn't help but beam with joy.

Take that, you little Song! Calling me fat! I, Xu Qing, am working very hard! My weight has already dropped by 0.5 kilograms! Sooner or later, I'll get below 100 jin!

Ever since the Happy Qixi Festival, when Tang Song said he was going to Lanfeng International to take boudoir photos of her.

Xu Qing had embarked on an "arduous" weight-loss journey.

She exercised for over half an hour every day and only drank milk tea with 30% sugar!

After exercising, she took a quick shower.

With wet hair hanging over her fair shoulders, Xu Qing wrapped herself in a towel, lay on the bed, and reached out to touch the platinum treasure chest beside her pillow.

This was Tang Song's Happy Qixi gift to her.

The items inside were worth nearly 150,000 Zhao Yuan, the most valuable gift she had ever received.

Now, if she didn't look at it a few times before bed, she wouldn't sleep peacefully.

"Ding-dong—" Her phone chimed.

【Tang Song: "As far as I know, you used to stay up late writing novels and never exercised in the morning, which is why you kept getting fatter."】

Seeing his message.

Xu Qing's eyes widened instantly, and she replied indignantly: "That's slander! At least I exercise at the company during lunch!"

【Tang Song: "I've touched you before; there's quite a bit of flesh on your legs. You definitely lack exercise."】

"Ya!" Xu Qing let out a low cry, puckering her lips high.

Damn little Song! You've already touched me, and now you dare to complain about me?!

She trembled with anger and cold!

"Buzz-buzz-buzz—"

【Tang Song: "But the feel was quite nice; I don't mind."】

Xu Qing's face instantly turned crimson, and she replied with an emoji of someone angrily slamming a table.

The two exchanged emojis for a while.

【Tang Song: "I've been extremely busy these past few days and have meetings this weekend too. How about next week? The presidential suite at Lanfeng International. Interested?"】

Seeing the huge characters "Interested?", Xu Qing was so startled she couldn't hold her phone steady, and it dropped straight onto the bed.

Her face burned red and hot.

What is this! If it's a photoshoot, just say photoshoot; why make it sound like a hookup?!

But then she noticed the keywords "presidential suite."

Although she had never been there, she had seen it many times on Douyin; it was extremely luxurious and comfortable, over 700 square meters, costing thirty or forty thousand Zhao Yuan per night.

This... this... this...

Xu Qing bit her lip and typed tremblingly: "Let's be clear first; it's just for taking photos."

【Tang Song: "Mm, remember to bring several sets of cosplay outfits: NieR's 2B, Little Little Daji, maid outfits... I want them all."】

Damn little Song! Do you think this is a dress-up game?!

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

(〃＞ Min ＜)

Just then, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open.

Shen Yu's exhausted voice rang out: "Sister Sister Sister Qingqing."

Xu Qing was startled, quickly put away her phone, and took several deep breaths.

Turning around, she said, "Sister Yan Yan, you're finally up. How do you feel? Any better?"

Last night, Shen Yu had gone to meet a client and was forced to drink a lot of baijiu; after returning home, she had vomited several times and slept until now.

Shen Yu yawned and scratched her somewhat messy hair.

She stepped forward to hug her best friend, acting coquettishly: "My stomach is a bit uncomfortable. I just went to the restroom, but I'm still not well-rested. Could you cook some millet porridge for me?"

"Okay, no problem." Xu Qing patted her back with some heartache. "How did the meeting with Zhishang Property go yesterday? Any chance?"

"Heh, no chance. The deputy general manager of that property company demanded too much money, and the kickback rate was very high; we can't afford it."

Xu Qing frowned bitterly: "Why does it feel like running your company is so difficult? Didn't you already secure financing?"

"The housekeeping industry itself is a vast red ocean with extremely fierce competition." Shen Yu simply lay down on Xu Qing's bed, hugged her quilt, and rolled over. "Of course, the main issue is that the user acquisition effect of Gongying Technology's app is poor, far below expectations."

"To meet our performance targets, we can only make up for it in other areas."

"Hurry up and cook the porridge; I still have to meet another major client at noon."

Xu Qing's eyes widened: "You're going to drink alcohol again? Are you crazy!"

"Not this time. Hou Hou Hou Shaoyuan used his parents' connections to contact the manager of Yunxi Property, and we finally managed to get an interview opportunity."

"So President Hou is quite capable this time. Do you think the success rate is high?"

Shen Yu shook her head with a bitter smile: "We can only say we'll do our best. Yunxi Property belongs to the listed company Yunxi Real Estate and has mature partnerships with housekeeping companies. Trying to snatch a piece of meat from them is very, very difficult."

"Is that so..." Xu Qing blinked, then suddenly said: "By the way, Tang Song's company is in Yunxi Tower. Do you think he could put in a word with the property manager?"

She had previously been responsible for outsourcing the legal affairs of Songmei Apparel and had been to Yunxi Tower a few times.

"Uh..." Shen Yu paused, hesitating slightly. "This... probably isn't much related. There are so many tenants and owners in Yunxi Tower; they can't possibly grant favors to everyone. Besides, our company's issue involves actual financial interests, not just a matter of face."

"I see, well then." Xu Qing helplessly rubbed her best friend's head. "I'll go cook the porridge; you get some more sleep."

The only connection Miss Xu Qing could boast of was Tang Song.

If even he couldn't help, then there was truly no solution.

11:00 AM.

22nd Floor, Lanfeng International Hotel, Executive Office Area.

The atmosphere was grave and solemn.

Employees sat upright; occasionally, someone passed by, walking with extreme caution.

Wang Wang Linqing looked left and right, whispering: "Nana, our boss brought so many people this time; are they planning a big move?"

Yu Yu Qiuna shook her head and typed on WeChat: "Don't speak out of turn. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us small fries; just focus on your work."

Seeing her message, Wang Wang Linqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

An hour ago, the company's major shareholder and executive director, Tang Song, had suddenly arrived with seven or eight people.

Then he had taken all the senior executives into the large conference room, and they hadn't come out since.

It was said that among these people were lawyers and headhunters from Deju Deju Deju Renhe.

Knowing their identities made the implication very clear.

There was a high probability that new appointments and dismissals for senior management were imminent, and candidates might have even been brought along.

Chairman Tang was finally ready to make his mark as a new official.

As a luxury five-star hotel established for over eight years.

Although not particularly dark or corrupt, its internal interests were intricate and intertwined, with quite a few parasites.

More serious issues included procurement kickbacks, supplier price hikes, and sales rebates...

The leaders actually knew about these problems, but since they were insiders themselves, they would not easily disrupt this "harmonious and stable" ecosystem.

However, now that the company had been taken over by a new boss, this ecosystem was bound to change.

Just then.

A blockbuster message suddenly popped up in the main group chat.

【General Manager - President Qiao President Qiao Anji: "After research and decision by the hotel management, personnel arrangements regarding the position of Procurement Department Manager are hereby announced. Mr. Wang Wang Binlong, the former Procurement Department Manager, has officially resigned from his post due to personal career development plans, effective August 30..."】

【"Effective September 1, Mr. Zhao Zhuo will assume the position of Hotel Procurement Department Manager. Mr. Zhao Zhuo previously worked at..."】

"Buzz-buzz-buzz—" Intense discussions instantly erupted in the office area.

As a company executive and the head of the Procurement Department, Wang Wang Binlong held significant power at Lanfeng International, belonging to the category of true power-holding executives.

His departure naturally had a significant impact.

Sitting at her workstation, Yu Yu Qiuna's eyes flickered, her heart pounding violently.

Previously, Qiu Qiu Wenze from their department, being Wang Wang Binlong's nephew, received special treatment everywhere, even stealing her clients.

Back when Tang Song had privately approached her to understand the company's internal relationships,

she had taken the opportunity to share some things she had heard about Wang Wang Binlong.

She never expected that such a powerful executive would collapse immediately just because of her one report.

Yu Yu Qiuna felt both apprehensive and exhilarated.

After all, she was now Director Tang's confidant; her future held great promise!

Before she could fully process it, several more personnel changes popped up in the group chat.

They involved six departments, including the Supplier Management Group, the Marketing Department, and the Recreation Department.

Moreover, every person who was laid off had a replacement with rich experience and an impressive resume.

This Director Tang's decisive style and swift resolution of complex issues truly startled them.

A moment later,

dense footsteps came from the direction of the conference room.

The office area instantly fell into absolute silence.

Lines of awestruck and apprehensive gazes turned toward the young man in the sharp suit leading the way.

A faint smile graced his face, yet he seemed enveloped in a solemn halo.

In the office area where the Marketing Department was located,

Zhang Zhang Zhang Ziqi, sitting in the corner, watched Tang Song walk by with a flushed face and racing heart, unable to resist pulling out her phone to snap a photo of him.

She immediately tossed it into her besties' group chat.

She typed: "@Zhuangzhuang, our boss is so handsome today! He's been at the company for only an hour and already replaced seven or eight leaders; the employees are terrified."

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

【Zhuangzhuang: "Mm, indeed very handsome. Decision made: tonight I'm going to sleep with him!"】

【Zhuangzhuang: Laughing. jpg】

Zhang Zhang Zhang Ziqi smacked her lips and replied with envy: "Why are you so dirty? All you think about are those yellow things every day."

【Hu Hu Hu Mingli: "@Zhuangzhuang, keep it down, careful not to sprain your waist!"】

【Zhuangzhuang: "I'm not doing it for that; it's just that I've had insomnia lately, and the doctor suggested I lie on an eight-pack. Sigh, you wouldn't understand anyway, since none of you have a boyfriend with an eight-pack."】

Seeing this message, Zhang Zhang Zhang Ziqi's eyes turned green with envy.

Good heavens! That big lustful woman Zhuangzhuang is truly blessed!

Executive Director's Office.

Hotel General Manager President Qiao President Qiao Anji sat upright on the sofa, discussing plans for team building and management.

Tang Song flipped through the documents in his hand, nodding slightly from time to time.

The changes at Lanfeng International were not decisions he had made on a whim.

Over the past few days, he had had President Qiao President Qiao Anji cooperate with Deju Deju Deju Renhe to conduct an in-depth investigation into the current state of the hotel team through questionnaires, employee interviews, and management assessments.

Under the analysis of the professional team, internal problems and strengths were identified, and targeted construction and management strategies were formulated.

In this process, Deju Deju Deju Renhe played a huge role.

As the largest human resources service provider in the country, their team was extremely capable, and their talent pool was rich, allowing them to quickly make the best matches.

This personnel reshuffle was just the beginning; it was also him establishing his own authority.

"Buzz buzz buzz—" The phone in his pocket vibrated.

Tang Song pulled it out to check, his eyebrows raising slightly.

【Zhuangzhuang: "Little brother, find some time this afternoon to come to my office, okay? I'm working overtime today, the company is nearly empty, boo hoo."】

Tang Song: "What's wrong? I'm at Lanfeng International today and quite busy." 【Zhuangzhuang: "It's faded! It's faded! Your love for me has faded! You're already being perfunctory!"】

【Zhuangzhuang: Crying loudly. jpg】

Tang Song replied helplessly: "Sister, can you please speak properly?"

【Zhuangzhuang: "I'm itchy."】

【Zhuangzhuang: Selfie. jpg】

The photo was taken by Wen Wen Wen Ruan directly in her office.

Her black base layer had been pulled down significantly, revealing a snow-white, deep valley, and combined with her slightly parted lips, it exuded infinite temptation.

Tang Song quickly tilted his phone back, glanced at it discreetly a few times, and replied: "My duty calls!"

Scratching his girlfriend's itch was a serious matter; work could be postponed appropriately, as it wouldn't delay things for too long anyway.

He put away his phone.

Please... you.... Favorite_(!)

Tang Song set down the folder and said calmly: "Besides team management, the performance appraisal system also needs optimization.

You coordinate with Director Wang from Deju Deju Deju Renhe to formulate a new set of assessment standards, with compensation increased by 10% to 20% compared to before.

Assessment results will be directly linked to employee salary adjustments, bonus distributions, and promotion opportunities, incentivizing employees to work hard and improve performance."

"Understood, Director Tang! I get it!" President Qiao President Qiao Anji instantly perked up.

Tang Song raised his hand to check the time and said: "Notify all senior management; we will have lunch together at Lanyue Chinese Restaurant at noon."

To become a qualified corporate controller, wielding both kindness and authority was essential.

After establishing authority, one should also stimulate employee enthusiasm and cultivate their loyalty.

As his wealth, quality, emotional intelligence, and experience grew, Tang Song was also forming his own understanding of corporate management.

A white Audi A7 drove along the city's main avenue.

Raindrops slid down the car windows, forming crisscrossing water trails that blurred the street scene outside.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Hou Hou Hou Shaoyuan smiled and said: "We're almost there."

"Mm." Shen Yu took a deep breath, took a small mirror out of her bag, and carefully tidied her appearance.

Li Li Li Meixia, sitting beside her, also began to feel apprehensive.

Ever since Shen Yu replaced Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Tianqi as General Manager, she had been promoted to Deputy General Manager of the company, primarily responsible for domestic service sales.

The person they were about to meet was Ma Ma Zijian, the manager of Yunxi Property.

Previously, she had represented the company on multiple visits, but each time failed to meet the person in charge.

Originally, she and Shen Yu had planned to shamelessly approach Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Tianqi to arrange a meeting with the other party through his uncle's connections.

Unexpectedly, Hou Hou Hou Shaoyuan had quietly settled it for them; this opportunity was extremely rare.

"No need to be nervous." Hou Hou Hou Shaoyuan tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, the corners of his mouth lifting as he said: "This contact with Director Ma was made through connections at Yunxi Real Estate headquarters; it's very reliable."

"That's good." Li Li Li Meixia asked: "By the way, Hou Hou Shaoyuan, what is Director Ma's temper like?"

"Quite good."

Li Li Li Meixia patted her chest. "Oh, oh, then I can rest assured. I've been scolded too much lately and have developed some psychological trauma; later when we meet, it will mainly rely on you."

"Hehe, don't worry." Hou Hou Hou Shaoyuan smiled somewhat guiltily.

Yunxi Property managed numerous real estate projects developed by Yunxi Real Estate; as the manager of the property headquarters, Ma Ma Zijian held a very high status.

He had managed to contact him with great difficulty through family connections, and today was also the first time meeting the other party.

He knew nothing about this Director Ma.

However, he was a decent man; in front of two girls, especially Shen Yu, he certainly could not lose face.

The car slowly drove into the underground garage of Lanfeng International Hotel.

The reason for choosing Lanfeng International was that it was also a related industry under Yunxi Real Estate.

The three got out of the car and took the elevator straight to the third floor.

After sitting down in the reserved private room at Lanyue Chinese Restaurant, they waited apprehensively for Ma Ma Zijian's arrival.

Glancing at the two sitting upright, Hou Hou Hou Shaoyuan casually chatted with them about the food and environment here.

Shen Yu responded occasionally, appearing somewhat distracted.

Recently, the situation at Youjie Domestic Service was not optimistic, mainly because the promotion effect of the Gongying Technology app was very unsatisfactory.

Gongying Technology's main products were all in the smart lighting category, with no cleaning appliances.

Few of their clients would look for domestic services on the app.

Instead, their domestic service platform was advertising for the other party both online and offline.

Shen Yu had vaguely realized that, due to their urgency for financing, they had been tricked by the other party.

However, since things had come to this, she had no good solution and could only grit her teeth and charge forward.

She would try to secure as many large clients as possible, first achieving the performance targets in the bet-on agreement to successfully obtain the second tranche of funding.

"Ding ling ling—" The phone ringtone suddenly sounded, and the three quickly looked over.

Hou Hou Hou Shaoyuan answered the call, speaking cautiously: "Hello, Director Ma."

"Mm mm, okay."

He hung up the phone.

Hou Hou Hou Shaoyuan said: "Director Ma is arriving soon; let's go to the lobby to welcome him."

"Let's go!" Shen Yu picked up her bag and stood up.

They arrived at the magnificent and splendid lobby.

Shen Yu stood near the entrance area, took a deep breath, and revealed a gentle, sweet smile on her face.

She strove to make herself appear even more elegant.

They waited for only a few minutes.

Hou Hou Hou Shaoyuan whispered, "They're here."

Immediately after, a middle-aged man with a serious expression walked into the restaurant lobby.

He wore a navy blue executive jacket, suit trousers, and leather shoes, looking extremely imposing.

Hou Hou Hou Shaoyuan straightened his chest, stepped forward a few paces, and extended his hand proactively, saying, "Hello, Ma Zong, I am Hou Hou Hou Shaoyuan."

"Hello, Hou Hou Shaoyuan. President An mentioned you to me; you truly are a talented and handsome young man," Ma Ma Zijian said with a laugh as he shook his hand.

Hou Hou Hou Shaoyuan's face instantly lit up with joy. "Haha, thank you for the compliment, Ma Zong."

Shen Yu stepped closer, bowed warmly, and said, "Hello, Ma Zong. I am Shen Yu, the General Manager of Youjie Housekeeping. Thank you for honoring us with your presence."

"Hello." Ma Ma Zijian nodded, looking at the beautiful woman before him, and replied politely, "I didn't expect your company's management team to be so young, and with such high levels of attractiveness."

Shen Yu let her hands hang gracefully and naturally in front of her, smiling warmly as she said, "You flatter us, Ma Zong. However, to receive your praise is a great honor for us."

"We have long heard of your outstanding achievements in the industry and your visionary leadership style. Today, having the fortune to meet you, we, as juniors, look forward to the opportunity to learn much from you and to contribute our humble efforts to any future cooperation between our two parties."

Her voice was sweet and melodious, complemented by her pure and beautiful campus belle face, her graceful and sexy figure, and her elegant demeanor.

She gave off the strong impression of an elite professional beauty in the workplace.

Everyone has a sense of vanity; being praised by such an outstanding woman, even Ma Ma Zijian, who knew her underlying intentions, found it extremely gratifying.

The two sides exchanged a few simple pleasantries.

Looking at Shen Yu, whose gaze was sincere and whose speech was flawless, Ma Ma Zijian genuinely began to feel a sense of importance and appreciation for her.

He had only come this time because a deputy general manager of a major region at Yunxi Real Estate had personally appeared; he simply couldn't refuse to save face by coming for a meal.

In truth, he hadn't taken it seriously at all and didn't believe there was any possibility of cooperation between the two parties.

The housekeeping companies they currently cooperated with were all national chains.

Youjie Housekeeping clearly did not have the qualifications for such a partnership.

Shen Yu extended her hand elegantly and generously, gesturing, "Ma Zong, this way please; let us go to the private room first."

"Very well." Ma Ma Zijian nodded and was just about to step forward.

From the direction of the restaurant entrance came a dense array of footsteps, accompanied by lively conversation.

Ma Ma Zijian's heart skipped a beat, and his steps halted instantly.

As the general manager of a subsidiary under Yunxi Real Estate, he naturally knew some of the senior executives of Lanfeng International Hotel and also knew who the hotel's new owner was.

Especially since that Mr. Tang was also the owner of the Yunxi Building.

From the conversations, he keenly heard the voices of the hotel's GM, President Qiao President Qiao Anji, and others calling out "Chairman Tang."

Seeing Ma Ma Zijian suddenly stop, Shen Yu asked in surprise, "What's wrong, Ma Zong?"

"I've run into some friends; just a moment," Ma Ma Zijian dismissed casually before striding toward the entrance, a fervent smile spreading across his face.

Shen Yu and the other two turned around as well, only to see a group of more than ten people walking in sequentially at the restaurant's main entrance.

Most were middle-aged men and women in their thirties and forties, all dressed in suits and leather shoes.

Among them, one figure stood out as exceptionally remarkable and prominent.

He appeared to be in his mid-twenties, with clear and handsome features, a tall and straight figure paired with a bespoke formal suit.

He stood in the very center of the crowd, the focus of everyone's attention and surrounded by them.

He exuded an extraordinary aura, radiating the presence of a superior.

Shen Yu's heartbeat began to accelerate, and her breathing became rapid.

Beside her, Li Li Li Meixia blurted out, "Tang Song? How is he..."

Hou Hou Hou Shaoyuan looked at the young man who had suddenly appeared, his brows knitting tightly together.

His impression of Tang Song was still stuck at the investment roadshow; he could barely even recall this person.

Just as the three of them were stunned, Ma Ma Zijian had already hurried over, saying warmly, "Good afternoon, Chairman Tang. It's been a long time."

Tang Song smiled and shook his hand. "Hello, Ma Zong."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries.

Ma Ma Zijian then greeted President Qiao President Qiao Anji and the others nearby, saying with a chuckle, "In that case, I won't disturb you any longer; I still have some matters to attend to on my end."

As he spoke, he pointed inward.

Tang Song's gaze swept over, pausing on Shen Yu, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Phew~"

Shen Yu's full chest heaved up and down; she struggled to maintain her smile and walked over quickly.

First, she cast an unobtrusive glance at Ma Ma Zijian, then said in a sweet and intimate tone, "Tang Song, I didn't expect to meet you here; what a stroke of luck."

As she spoke, she blinked her large, sparkling eyes and extended her hand, appearing somewhat playful.

Tang Song shook Shen Campus Belle's delicate and warm hand. "It is indeed a surprise. Long time no see, Shen Shen Shen Yu Yan."

"It has been a long time. There's no helping it; we've both been quite busy recently. I've been wanting to invite you to my home for a visit."

Tang Song chuckled lightly. "Alright, I'll take that seriously."

"You had better take it seriously," Shen Yu said with a radiant smile. "Then next time I invite you, you cannot refuse."

"Of course I won't."

The senior executives of Lanfeng International surrounding them tacitly maintained their silence, waiting quietly nearby.

After chatting briefly, Shen Yu tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, bid farewell gently, and did not disturb them further.

They watched as the group walked deeper into the restaurant.

Hou Hou Hou Shaoyuan looked at Shen Yu and asked in a low voice, "Ma Zong, how do you know Tang Song?"

He never would have imagined that Ma Ma Zijian would be so polite to Tang Song, even intentionally currying favor.

And judging by Shen Yu's behavior just now, her relationship with Tang Song was clearly not ordinary.

His heart instantly filled with mixed emotions.

Ma Ma Zijian raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Chairman Tang is the owner of our Yunxi Building. At the same time, he is also the owner of Lanfeng International Hotel."

As a business elite who had been tempered through countless battles, Ma Ma Zijian possessed first-class skills in observing words and expressions; naturally, he could see through Hou Hou Hou Shaoyuan's little schemes.

He felt somewhat speechless in his heart.

If you offend this Chairman Tang, the consequences are something your family could never bear.

Hearing his words, Hou Hou Hou Shaoyuan's eyes trembled, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Shen Yu's face, which she had been pretending to keep reserved, instantly froze.

The owner of Lanfeng International Hotel?!

Regarding this landmark luxury five-star hotel, she had heard of it like thunder echoing in her ears and knew it very well.

The ultra-high-end Lanyue Chinese Restaurant, the famous Sinmo Bar, the international conference center capable of accommodating a thousand people, the top-tier presidential suites costing thirty or forty thousand per night, the high-end executive corridor...

This was Yancheng's most high-end hotel, located in the city center area, adjacent to the city's main arterial road, with top-tier commercial facilities surrounding it.

It employed numerous staff, and its suppliers involved a wide variety of industries.

The controller of such a large-scale industrial enterprise possessed a network of relationships, human resources, and social resources that were terrifyingly vast.

Shen Yu suddenly turned to look at Tang Song's retreating figure in the distance, her gaze becoming dull.

To her, at this very moment, Tang Song was filled with the aura of a strong person, radiating top-tier charm.

Power and authority are a man's best outer garment.
