Chapter 466: Debt Crisis, Imperial College

Six-thirty in the morning.

After a night of autumn rain, the temperature began to rise instead.

Sunlight passed through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating the entire bedroom.

Shen Yu Yan sat up slowly from the soft bed, a trace of fatigue still lingering on her face.

Although yesterday was the weekend, she was still busy until very late.

The cooperation with Xucheng Property had basically been finalized, but the requirements put forward by the other party were also relatively harsh, requiring them to customize a separate service package.

Now Zhang Tianqi completely ignored company affairs, Hou Shaoyuan had also completely withdrawn, and she was the only manager of the company at present.

All the business and development of the company needed her to personally check.

Although she "held the power," the pressure was also much greater than imagined.

However, as long as the valuation adjustment mechanism agreement could be completed, everything would get better and better.

Yawning, Shen Yu Yan lifted the quilt and sat on the edge of the bed, picked up the phone on the bedside table, and habitually clicked on Tang Song's chat window after unlocking the screen.

Looking at the few chat records above, she couldn't help but sigh.

Over the weekend, she had sent Tang Song several messages one after another.

Besides discussing the Qingning Technology press conference and the impact of AI on various fields with him, she also sent him selfies and invited him to eat together.

But without exception, they were all rejected by him on the grounds of being busy.

And the replies were very perfunctory.

For her, who had been popular since she was a child and was proud and arrogant, this was a heavy blow.

It made her begin to doubt herself.

If it were before, she definitely wouldn't have licked her face and crowded up again, but now scenes of seeing Tang Song before kept appearing in her mind.

He stood on the roadshow stage, he walked out of the elevator with the due diligence team, he was surrounded and stood at the Lanfeng International Hotel, he appeared at the International Fashion Exhibition with Zheng Qiudong.

Her breathing gradually became rapid, a faint tide of red floating on her face, and she couldn't help but start to feel down.

The current Tang Song was full of mysterious colors and unknowns in her eyes.

She was also feeling the charm that made her unable to resist from a man for the first time.

After being dazed for a while, Shen Yu Yan clicked on Tang Song's chat box.

She left a message: "Good morning~ A new day has begun! By the way, the weekend is over, are you still busy? (#playful)"

After sending the message, Shen Yu Yan cursed in a low voice: "Lick dog!"

After saying this, her eyes widened, and tears wandered in her eye sockets.

Tang Song's performance always made her feel somewhat anxious and worried; he was neither active nor rejecting.

This feeling of anxiety and worry made her both irritable and addicted, as if it were a carefully designed game, but she couldn't determine whether she was the hunter or the prey.

It just so happened that there was also the existence of her best friend Qingqing, making her appear exceptionally contradictory, entangled, and struggling.

Shen Yu Yan would sometimes curse herself for being cheap, but she couldn't help wanting to get close to him.

After sending the message, Shen Yu Yan got up and walked out, starting her daily washing and skincare.

Her gaze, however, was always wandering and staring at the phone screen, waiting for Tang Song's reply.

"Ding-dong—"

【Tang Song: "The most important things are finished, how about you? I heard from Qingqing that Youjie Housekeeping landed a big client, and the second round of financing is about to arrive."】

Shen Yu Yan's eyes instantly brightened, and she replied quickly: "Yeah, currently I'm the only one left in the company's founding team, super busy, but fortunately everything is going smoothly. The number of client-side users has basically reached the standard. As long as the performance keeps up, Youjie Housekeeping will be on the right track."

【Tang Song: (#thumbsup) School Belle Shen is truly amazing, this can be considered a successful startup, a strong woman.】

Seeing his praise, a thrilled smile appeared on Shen Yu Yan's face.

She was indeed determined to "defect" to Tang Song, but she was unwilling to be looked down upon by him as a loser or a lick dog.

She went to participate in the "Yanzhao Youth Entrepreneurship Support Plan" and tried hard to make Youjie Housekeeping better, all to make her resume more outstanding.

After the two chatted simply for a few sentences.

The smile on Shen Yu Yan's face became more and more bright.

She felt that Tang Song was particularly talkative today, and his replies were particularly fast.

Pinching her fingers, Shen Yu Yan walked quickly to the full-length mirror.

She opened the phone camera, adjusted her posture, and tilted her body slightly toward the lens.

One hand gently lifted the hem of her loose white T-shirt, revealing her tight, flat lower abdomen and the vaguely visible vest line.

The other hand naturally fiddled with the broken hair by her ear, creating a sense of laziness just after waking up.

"Click," the photo froze.

Shen Yu Yan took a look and always felt it wasn't attractive enough.

After thinking about it, she simply took off her thin pajama pants, wearing only the loose T-shirt and underwear, and took another one.

She cropped the photo just enough to reveal the edge of her underwear, and used photo editing software to adjust the light and filters, making the picture appear more soft and charming.

Soon, a pure yet seductive morning selfie was done.

Biting her lip, Shen Yu Yan shared the photo on Tang Song's WeChat.

Considering her words, she typed: "Hey, I suddenly discovered just now that my vest line is back, haha, please allow me to show off a little, after all, this is the effect of my hard work exercising (#hehe)"

Before sending, she hesitated for a second, deliberately deleted the smiley face at the end, and changed it to a slightly playful period.

It was as if she were testing, and also as if she were restraining.

Putting down the phone, her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a bit.

Her EQ and IQ were very high; she knew how to use her advantages to attract his attention, and she also knew that men had no resistance to this kind of ambiguous little warmth.

"Buzz buzz buzz—" 【Tang Song: "Work is so busy, yet you can still be so self-disciplined, no wonder School Belle Shen has such a good figure. Haha, have time to keep an eye on Qingqing, let her exercise with you."】

Seeing his reply, Shen Yu Yan's gaze flickered, and she replied: "Hehe, thanks for the compliment! As for Qingqing~, this big silly girl is lazy, and only interested in one kind of exercise."

【Tang Song: "Oh? What exercise?"】

Shen Yu Yan deliberately didn't reply immediately, but first applied eye cream and wiped her fingers.

Only then did she type word by word: "Bed exercise, I can't help her with this."

After thinking about it, she sent a squinting smiley face emoji.

【Tang Song: You are so horny. gif】

Seeing the emoji he sent, Shen Yu Yan's eyes twitched, and her face turned slightly red.

Just at this time.

"Click—creak—" The door was suddenly pushed open.

Xu Qing, wearing cartoon pajamas, walked in in a daze, "Sister Yan Yan, what are we eating for breakfast today?"

Shen Yu Yan's face instantly became awkward, and she hurriedly put away her phone, "I'll go downstairs to buy soy milk and fried dough sticks in a while."

"Mm-hmm, thanks for your hard work, baby!" Xu Qing went up to hug her best friend, tilted her head, looked at her smooth long legs, and envied: "Clearly our height difference isn't much, why do I feel your legs are so long?"

"Our body proportions are different." Shen Yu Yan smiled playfully and opened the closet to start changing clothes.

Xu Qing fell onto her bed, groaning with a bitter face: "Sister Yan Yan, tell me what I should do? That stinky girl Sorry Xiao Jing doesn't know what's wrong, suddenly becoming ghost-smart; I don't even dare to chat with her, but she keeps pestering me."

Ever since she was caught, Sorry Xiao Jing had become her nightmare, the kind that could scare her awake even in her dreams.

Shen Yu Yan put on a shirt and trousers, turned her head and said: "You two will have to show your cards sooner or later; she is also Tang Song's girlfriend, it's pretty good to build a good relationship in advance."

Xu Qing twisted her body forcefully, "Oh my, I don't want to play with her at all."

"I'm talking about a friendship relationship, why do I feel your head is full of yellow? Sorry Xiao Jing actually doesn't have any bad intentions; getting along well is also good for you."

"You don't know how perverted she is; last night she even wanted to discuss the plot of H-manga with me."

Shen Yu Yan rolled her eyes at her, "You are writing erotica yourself, and you still have the nerve to call others perverted?"

"That's different! She—she—" Xu Qing's face turned bright red, stuttering and unable to speak.

She hadn't told her best friend everything about Sorry Xiao Jing; it was just that some content was too perverted, like "threesomes," "whipping belts," and the like.

Now that she had been caught, her handle was in Sorry Xiao Jing's hands, and she had to chat with her, which was simply too stifling.

Xu Qing stayed up late last night to code words, brutally abusing Bai Jing in the novel, which made her feel slightly better.

"Alright, I'm going downstairs to buy breakfast, you hurry up and tidy yourself up." Shen Yu Yan patted her head and turned to walk out.

Xu Qing sat up "humming and hawing."

"Buzz buzz buzz—" The phone vibrated.

【Sorry Xiao Jing: "Sister Qingqing, my boyfriend is coming to our company for a meeting this afternoon. I want to play a little game with him. Do you think it's better in the office? Or in the office building hallway? Haven't seen each other for a long time, can't help but want to be taught a lesson by him."】

Xu Qing's face turned pale, and she replied quickly: "You must not mess around, what if you get discovered in the office?"

Although Little Song Zi was a bit hateful, he was still very good to her.

What if he was really assimilated into a pervert under Sorry Xiao Jing's guidance? Then she would have to suffer later too!

【Sorry Xiao Jing: "That's the atmosphere I want, how exciting! Sister Qingqing, you and your boyfriend can try it too, it's very interesting."】

"Ah! Perverted Sorry Xiao Jing!" Xu Qing's face instantly turned bright red, rolling on the bed a few times, then grabbed a pillow and smashed it at the phone screen.

Yanjing Huating, large apartment.

In the beautiful and gorgeous walk-in closet.

"Hahaha—"

Sorry Xiao Jing leaned against the closet, laughing until she was trembling.

"Oh no!" The platinum ring on her hand accidentally fell off.

Sorry Xiao Jing hurriedly squatted down to pick it up, looking at this little gift, thinking of Tang Song's long, glowing manga hands, and couldn't help but rub her legs gently.

Haven't seen each other for a long time; although they often played remotely, how could that compare to the real person?

Hehe! When they meet, she must eat his hands.

Licking her lips, Sorry Xiao Jing put the ring away and began to choose the clothes she would wear today.

The sound of "..." undressing rang out.

The glowing white skin made the entire walk-in closet brighten up a bit.

Sorry Xiao Jing gestured with the clothes in front of her for a while, her glowing body turning several circles in the full-length mirror; it looked really good.

(≥V≤）/

Brother Tang Song will definitely like it!

After changing clothes and checking the time, Sorry Xiao Jing hummed a song and walked toward the dining room.

The aroma of breakfast filled the air.

Chinese porridge and Western bread were placed on the table, rich yet warm.

"Dear Mom and Dad, good morning." Sorry Xiao Jing showed an obedient and well-behaved smile on her face, saying sweetly.

"Baby, come over to eat quickly, I was just about to call you." Mother Chen Man hurriedly waved to signal.

Sorry Xiao Jing smiled, sat down beside her mother, picked up a piece of roasted cranberry toast, and ate it slowly, lowering her head to scroll through her phone.

The family enjoyed breakfast quietly, the atmosphere harmonious and peaceful.

After a while.

"Jingjing." Father Tian Chengye suddenly spoke, his voice low and serious.

Sorry Xiao Jing raised her head, a playful look on her face: "What's wrong, Old Tian?"

Tian Chengye's expression, however, remained tense: "How is your relationship with Tang Song recently? Are you still together?" Hearing this question, Chen Man also looked over with curious eyes.

Sorry Xiao Jing was slightly stunned, then returned to normal, "It's always been pretty good, the relationship is very good."

Her answer was very casual, and she didn't say much else.

Tian Chengye continued to pursue: "Oh? I heard that during your time in the Imperial Capital, he didn't visit you even once?"

Sorry Xiao Jing frowned, her tone carrying a bit of displeasure: "Who told you that? Huahua? Or Qi Wen?"

Tian Chengye's eye corners twitched, "Don't worry about who said it, I just feel like he doesn't seem to care much about you."

Sorry Xiao Jing put down the toast in her hand, her tone turning colder: "Didn't we agree not to interfere with my private life? Also, Old Tian, gossiping behind people's backs isn't your style; this is a principle you taught me before."

An awkward look appeared on Tian Chengye's face.

"I know what I'm doing, don't any of you worry."

"Eat, eat, eat first." Chen Man hurriedly smoothed things over: "Jingjing, Mom and Dad are just worried about you."

Sorry Xiao Jing said "Hmph," and accelerated the speed of eating.

After eating a few bites in a rush, Sorry Xiao Jing stood up directly: "I'm full."

"Wait a moment, there's one more thing." Tian Chengye stopped her, was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Sorry Xiao Jing, I met with Lin Jingming of Fast Charge Power last night; he said he knew you, and the relationship was pretty good."

Sorry Xiao Jing responded nonchalantly: "Oh? Just met once, can be considered knowing each other."

Tian Chengye said earnestly: "Fast Charge Power is truly amazing, in the limelight, and receiving much attention. Lin Jingming is also a young talent truly standing on the tide of the era, and his resume is extremely outstanding; he can be considered one of the most excellent among the people I've come into contact with for so many years. He is only 31 years old now, participated in founding a new energy enterprise with a valuation of 500 million US dollars, and also received recognition from local government funds; the future is limitless."

Sorry Xiao Jing raised her head vigilantly, "I'm asking you, Old Tian, what exactly do you mean?"

Tian Chengye coughed lightly, "Nothing special, I just hope you can get to know more such networking relationships. Don't miss out on better opportunities because of personal feelings."

"I'm going to work, bye-bye." Sorry Xiao Jing pushed the chair back to its original position and walked toward the bedroom without looking back.

Chen Man stretched out her hand wanting to hold her back, but finally sighed and didn't say anything.

She turned to look at her husband and complained: "You're not unaware of her personality, why do you have to bring these up!"

Tian Chengye's face sank slightly, his tone revealing helplessness: "I'm also considering Jingjing's future, hoping she can be happier."

Chen Man asked worriedly: "Is it not going well on your side?"

Tian Chengye sighed and nodded slowly: "Mm, the problem is very big. I might have to sell the shares of Jinxiu Trading in my hands."

"Ah?" Chen Man's heart shook, "Didn't you say that Jinxiu Trading has a high probability of going public in the future? And Jingjing is working there!"

Tian Chengye shook his head with a serious face, "No way, the situation is too sudden."

He is only 47 years old this year, still in the prime of his life, and also has the ambition to continue moving upward.

A few years ago, he began to follow national policies and invest in several new energy and semiconductor enterprises.

Among them, Huineng Electronics in Hangzhou developed most rapidly.

This company possesses many high-quality patented technologies, and the team also has great potential, having developed a technical route with quite a lot of prospects.

Starting last year, Tian Chengye successively acquired shares from other shareholders, invested a large amount of capital, and now has become the largest shareholder holding 63% of the shares.

To support the company's development, he also guaranteed loans of more than 200 million from institutions in his personal name, going all out to bet on this enterprise.

However, the complexity of the process far exceeded expectations, and the yield problem could not be solved for a long time.

Some contracts signed before could only be breached with compensation, and the company's capital chain was on the verge of breaking.

He went on a business trip to Hangzhou on Qixi to deal with this matter, busy until he was scorched and rotten, but unfortunately, he was still unable to save the situation.

Due to personal guarantees, he must repay this huge debt.

And the only high-quality assets he has that can be quickly liquidated are the shares of Jinxiu Trading.

Thinking of this, Tian Chengye only felt a stuffiness in his chest.

Originally, he planned to give this part of the shares to Sorry Xiao Jing in a few years, letting her grow in Jinxiu Trading and become a high-level executive or even a director of a listed company in the future.

He didn't expect that things would develop to this point.

At the same time, the Zhongcheng Group, due to the overall decline of real estate, has been in a downward trend, plus the recently erupted Zhongyun Dairy incident, which is adding frost to snow.

His personal assets are shrinking rapidly, and every step he takes is like walking on thin ice.

He did not intend to interfere with Sorry Xiao Jing's emotional life, but the current situation forced him to re-examine every possible opportunity.

The appearance of Lin Jingming, and the other party's undisguised display of affection for Sorry Xiao Jing, made Tian Chengye somewhat moved, and he also hoped that his daughter could live a better life in the future.

Rongliu Investment, Assistant General Manager's Office.

The sound of flipping through documents sounded from time to time, and a look of struggle appeared on Lin Mu Xue's face.

After a moment, she took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth: "Then it's it! Imperial College! No changing it!"

"This is indeed the most suitable choice." Zhang Lili opposite her smiled and said: "Imperial College's Global MBA, its gold content belongs to the top level among online MBA programs. The degree certificate is the same as a full-time MBA, it will not indicate the word 'online,' and its legal effect is also consistent."

"Mm!" Lin Mu Xue nodded forcefully, a look of relief appearing on her face.

After finally making a choice, the heart that had been hanging was finally put down.

Pulling out the introduction about Imperial College's Global MBA from the folder, the smile on her face became more and more bright.

The curriculum design is consistent with the full-time MBA, and it is all online learning, only needing to go to London to participate in 1-2 weeks of offline activities every year.

It is very suitable for working professionals to improve their academic qualifications and management abilities.

Imperial College is one of the G5 universities in Britain, top in the world, and ranked 6th in the QS World University Rankings.

Its business school enjoys a high reputation in the field of business, especially in finance, technology, and innovation management.

And it possesses a powerful alumni network, especially in Europe and Asia.

Although its name is not as well-known as Harvard or Cambridge, it is indeed the most suitable for her. And she likes the two words "Imperial" very much, which fits her status as Empress Empress Mu Xue very well!

The more people lack something, the more they crave it.

The biggest shortcoming was filled, and she felt that she would have more confidence when going out to use the bathroom in the future!

Thinking of this, Lin Mu Xue twisted her long legs, her face flushed with excitement.

This was because Tang Song wasn't here; if he were in front of her, she would have to ride him and toss him around.

Just at this time.

"Dong dong dong—" A knock on the door sounded, and then it was pushed open directly.

Tang Song, wearing a casual shirt, walked in.

"General Tang Zong!" "General Tang Zong!"

"General Tang Zong!" The two stood up quickly, their tones carrying a trace of nervousness.

Tang Song walked to their side, his gaze calm and determined, "Assistant Lin, notify the members of the Huashang Apparel project team to have a meeting in the T1 conference room at ten o'clock."

"Okay, General Tang Zong!" Lin Mu Xue hurriedly responded, her fingers fiddling with the hair by her temples inadvertently, her expression appearing somewhat unnatural.

She was just fantasizing, and didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the person was already standing in front of her.

Looking at his handsome face, Lin Mu Xue felt itchy in her heart.

Tang Song nodded slightly, turned and walked out, walking straight to the President's office.

On the desk, reports on the acquisition progress were neatly arranged, classified by category.

He flipped through a few pages at random, a faint smile appearing on the corners of his mouth.

Under the efforts of the professional team, the accurate valuation model for Huashang Apparel had been completed.

Rongliu Investment reached a preliminary agreement with Dingyun Investment and Chengrong Group to acquire the 14.4% shares they held at a 10% premium.

In addition, 4 small shareholders confirmed their intention to sell.

After the transaction is completed, Tang Song will hold a total of 55.4% of the shares through individuals and enterprises, officially becoming the company's largest shareholder and logically controlling the board of directors.

Of course, this was just the first step.

The He Jingping family still held 40.4% of the shares, possessing a veto power on major matters.

What needed to be done next was to dilute his shares to below 33%.

Originally, this was an extremely complex and difficult task.

Even if the method of capital increase and share expansion was adopted, it would require the support of more than two-thirds of the voting rights, and as long as He Jingping disagreed, it would be difficult to advance.

Other financing methods such as splitting, capital reserve conversion to share capital, etc., would consume a lot of time and cost.

But Tang Song didn't have extra time to waste.

He controlled Huashang Apparel to help Songmei Apparel develop rapidly, not to fall into endless games.

In the end, Rongliu Investment locked its target on "convertible bonds."

As a heavy-asset enterprise, Huashang Apparel, due to problems such as production line upgrades, inventory pressure, and payment recovery cycles,

had always relied on high-debt operations.

The year before last, the company had signed a "convertible bond agreement" with a certain private equity fund.

This type of bond came with option clauses, allowing the holder to convert it into equity under specific conditions.

Tang Song's plan was very simple: get this convertible bond contract, and then use his status as the largest shareholder to force the triggering of the "debt-to-equity" clause, thereby diluting He Jingping's shares.

What was even better was that CEO Wu Wei's "rebellion" made this matter even simpler.

Tang Song pulled out the report submitted by the due diligence team, his gaze sweeping over the key content, his mood becoming even more pleasant.

Global Connect Trade Limited.

"Dong dong dong—" A knock on the door suddenly sounded.

"Come in!" Tang Song raised his head.

The door was pushed open gently.

"Da, da, da—"

Lin Mu Xue, wearing a professional suit, twisted her slender waist and walked in with elegant and brisk steps.

"General Tang Zong, the meeting notification has been arranged." Lin Mu Xue stood before the desk, her tone gentle yet capable.

Exquisite features, heavy makeup, paired with fashionable OL attire, she looked swaying and charming, sexy.

"Mm, thanks for your hard work." Tang Song put down the document, leaned his body back slightly, not hiding his appreciative gaze at all.

Having such a beautiful and sexy female assistant, work was indeed more pleasant.

Sensing that she seemed to have something more to say, Tang Song asked: "Is there anything else?"

Lin Mu Xue hesitated for a moment, then moved forward a step, getting closer, and said softly: "General Tang Zong, I have already decided on the school and major you mentioned before."

"Oh? Which one?"

"Imperial College's Global MBA, is that okay?" Lin Mu Xue pursed her lips, her eyes full of expectation.

Tang Song smiled and nodded, "Of course it's okay, I will arrange for a special person to connect, and you will need to provide some personal information later."

"Okay, General Tang Zong!" Lin Mu Xue was so excited that her cheeks turned red, her voice carrying unconcealable joy.

Tang Song blinked, encouraging: "Come on, Assistant Lin. When you successfully enroll, I will give you a special gift, you will definitely like it very much."

"Ah, a special gift?" Lin Mu Xue whispered, her gaze instantly moistening.

Not only helping her improve her academic qualifications but also giving her a gift; this was truly going to kill her!

If it weren't for the office—actually, the office wasn't impossible—Lin Mu Xue bit her teeth, boldly sat on Tang Song's lap, and wrapped her arms around his neck, "Thank you, General Tang Zong, you are truly too good to me!"

Seeing that Tang Song didn't refuse, but instead wrapped his arm around her waist.

Lin Mu Xue instantly beamed with joy, her lips pressed up gently, her plump buttocks twisting slightly.

Located on the 50th floor of the financial center, in the most luxurious office.

Having just received the admission ticket to a world-class top university, and unscrupulously sitting the male god under her, Lin Mu Xue felt like she was floating, feeling like the whole person was about to fly up. ===== CHAPTER 467 =====

Not only helping me improve my academic qualifications but also giving gifts, this is really going to kill me!

If it weren't for being in the office—actually, it's not impossible in the office—Lin Mu Xue gritted her teeth, boldly sat on Tang Song's lap, and wrapped her arms around his neck, "Thank you, Tang Zong,

you are really too good to me!"

Seeing that Tang Song didn't refuse, but instead wrapped his arms around her waist.

Lin Mu Xue instantly beamed with joy, her lips pressed lightly against his, her plump buttocks twisting slightly.
