Chapter 508: Mo Mo Mo Sister Xiang Wan Disrupts the Game

Warm-colored light from above spilled down gently, enveloping the three figures in a cozy, hazy glow; the night breeze stirred their hair, bringing a hint of autumn chill, yet making this moment feel all the more real.

Sun Sun Sun Jiayue stared blankly at her high school classmate across from her, past memories slowly rising to the surface of her mind.

Scenes from their green and vibrant high school days flashed by one after another.

That giggling, high-spirited boy gradually overlapped completely with this mature, confident, and handsome figure.

Both strange and familiar, both distant and close.

"Tang Song?" she murmured to herself.

"It's me. You haven't forgotten what I look like, have you?" Tang Song smiled and nodded, his tone carrying a hint of teasing.

"You've changed quite a bit." Sun Sun Sun Jiayue worked hard to calm the turmoil in her heart, refocusing her gaze.

She had never been one to judge men by their looks, caring little for appearance; what she admired were business elites successful in their careers.

Thinking of her own loss of composure just now, a look of embarrassment flashed across her face.

His transformation was simply too great, and he was indeed very handsome, like a male lead who had stepped out of a workplace drama.

"So have you. You've lost a lot of weight and become much prettier; I almost didn't recognize you. Also, I heard from Liu Liu Liu Qingning that you're doing very well now—a highly educated financial elite in Magic City. Truly impressive."

Looking at Sun Sun Sun Jiayue before him, dressed in exquisite professional attire, Tang Song's gaze was filled with emotion.

His words were spoken from the heart.

It had been over seven years since he and Sun Sun Sun Jiayue last met.

Two months ago, returning to his alma mater, the memories of 2016 he had recovered were still vivid; it felt as though one second she was still a silly, chubby girl, and the next she had transformed into a standard corporate woman, making him cannot help but sigh at the fleeting nature of time and the wonder of growth.

"Thank you for the praise, old classmate." Sun Sun Sun Jiayue subconsciously tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, the corners of her mouth rising involuntarily.

Regarding her current achievements, she indeed had reason to be proud.

As for the hardships involved, only she herself truly understood them.

Tang Song pointed to the casually dressed girl beside her and asked, "By the way, who is this beside you? Aren't you going to introduce her?"

"Uh—" Sun Sun Sun Jiayue turned around. "She's my college classmate and roommate, Zhang Nuo. She also works in this area."

"Hello, I'm Tang Song. Nice to meet you." Tang Song smiled politely and warmly.

Zhang Nuo was momentarily dazzled by his smile; she quickly lowered her head and stammered, "Hello, Tang Song. Um, I was cooking upstairs just now and came down in a bit of a rush."

She forced out an explanation, hiding her feet clad in red slippers behind her.

Outwardly strong, but inwardly she was already collapsing.

She had believed her friend's words, thinking a silly, fat otaku programmer was coming to visit, so she hadn't taken it seriously,

and had run downstairs just to watch the fun.

But instead, there was Sun Sun Sun Jiayue, dressed to the nines, and Tang Song, a god-like figure in a suit.

She herself had become a complete clown.

She felt she wouldn't be happy for the entire rest of the year.

Seeming to sense her little thoughts, Tang Song looked at her and said, "As expected of Magic City's financial elites; you both have great temperament."

Hearing his praise, Zhang Nuo's face instantly flushed red, her mood shifting from stormy to sunny.

Oh my god! A male god! If you know how to talk, say more; I love listening to it!

Sun Sun Sun Jiayue pressed her lips together, lifted her chin, and said, "Let's go; the food is ready. If we wait any longer, the crabs will get cold."

"Right, right, right. I personally picked these big crabs at the supermarket; you must try them."

"Thank you. Let's go."

Speaking thus, the three walked side by side toward the elevator, their footsteps echoing in the quiet hallway.

Once upstairs, Tang Song placed the fruit gift box he had brought in the entryway, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding decor.

The interior renovation was simple yet stylish, featuring various smart appliances and artistic ornaments; it had a wonderful feel.

"This place is really nice; you two live quite exquisitely," Tang Song praised sincerely, his tone filled with appreciation.

"It's alright, mainly the rent is expensive," Sun Sun Sun Jiayue replied with a smile, her tone relaxed. "But the location is indeed convenient, very close to Lujiazui."

Zhang Nuo glanced at the two of them and darted straight into the bedroom.

Sun Sun Sun Jiayue invited Tang Song to sit at the dining table and asked a few caring questions about his accommodation in Magic City.

Upon hearing he was staying at the JW Marriott Hotel, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Although she had never met Tang Song before, through scattered information from other classmates, she knew something about his current situation.

Previously, he had worked as a developer at Meigou Technology, a programmer at a major company with a bright future; it wasn't impossible that he might eventually rise to management with an annual salary of a million.

However, since Liu Liu Liu Liu Qingning left the Imperial Capital last year, he had also returned to Yan City to work at a trading company.

Now, traveling to Magic City, he was actually staying in a five-star hotel; moreover, Sun Sun Sun Jiayue knew a thing or two about clothing and could naturally tell that his outfit was extraordinary, worth at least tens of thousands. All signs indicated he was doing much better than she had imagined.

When Zhang Nuo emerged again, she was completely transformed.

She had changed into fashionable casual wear, her hair was neatly done, and she had applied bean-paste colored lipstick; she looked revitalized.

The three began their meal, and conversation gradually unfolded.

Mostly, it was Tang Song and Sun Sun Sun Jiayue chatting about old high school days.

Several familiar names were mentioned, and some little secrets and amusing stories known to them both were brought up.

In just a few sentences, their thoughts were pulled back to that innocent and green high school period.

Originally shy and reserved, Zhang Nuo gradually integrated into the conversation, occasionally interjecting with a few witty remarks, making the atmosphere increasingly relaxed and harmonious.

However, as the conversation deepened, the look in Sun Sun Sun Jiayue's eyes as she gazed at Tang Song became increasingly surprised and astonished.

As a professional woman graduating from a Double First-Class university and having worked for over three years in the fundraising department of a financial company,

she naturally had her own standards for judging people.

At least during this reunion, Tang Song's impression on her had changed earth-shatteringly, refreshing her understanding.

His facial features hadn't changed much, but his speech, mannerisms, temperament, and posture were incomparable to before.

Of course, the most crucial factor was actually his spirit and energy.

The confidence and ease radiating from within him seemed almost about to overflow.

This state was not something a mere change in appearance could bestow.

At the very least, his core had been updated; he was no longer mediocre.

Even compared to those young talents she knew, he was not inferior in the slightest; in fact, he was even more charming.

Yan City, Beicheng Garden Community.

The sound of keyboard typing was exceptionally clear in the quiet room.

Shen Yu began quickly reviewing documents, checking the existing financing plan, financial statements, and market analysis reports one by one, optimizing and revising them word by word.

Rubbing her temples, the long-term mental tension made her feel a wave of exhaustion.

"Ding-ling-ling—" The mobile phone on the desk began to vibrate violently.

【Mingjian Capital - Wang Wang Wang Wang Yu Bo】

Seeing the caller information, Shen Yu's eyebrows raised slightly, and she quickly answered the call.

"Hello? Good evening, Shen Shen Shen Yu Yan," Wang Wang Wang Wang Yu Bo's steady voice rang out.

Shen Yu worked hard to lift her spirits, her voice returning to its usual competence and ease: "Good evening, Wang Dong."

"The materials you requested are ready; I absolutely will not let you down."

"Hehe, I believe that much. I have never doubted your capabilities."

"Thank you for Wang Dong's trust! And thank Mingjian Capital for this opportunity."

"No need to be so polite; mainly, I appreciate your ability." Wang Wang Wang Wang Yu Bo paused, then said, "Have you booked your flight tickets? What date are you coming? Tomorrow or the day after?"

Shen Yu subconsciously glanced at the calendar on her computer. "October 5th, which is the day after tomorrow. I'll take the high-speed rail and arrive in Magic City that same evening."

"Oh? Business class?"

"No, ordinary second-class seat on the high-speed rail."

Wang Wang Wang Wang Yu Bo's tone brooked no refusal: "In that case, I'll have my assistant book a flight ticket for you on the 5th; just fly over directly. Consider this an invitation to attend an event; round-trip travel expenses and accommodation will all be covered by us."

"No, no, no, that's not appropriate. Thank you, Wang Dong; the high-speed rail is very fast too; it only takes six hours."

"There's nothing inappropriate about it; it's settled then." Wang Wang Wang Wang Yu Bo smiled, adding, "Wait for you to come to Magic City; I will introduce you to some people, including teams from the Big Four auditing firms and top-tier law firms. I believe it will be a trip well worth your while."

Shen Yu pressed her lips together, hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed: "Alright. Thank you, Wang Dong."

After chatting briefly, she hung up the phone.

Shen Yu let out a long breath, lowered her gaze, and fell into deep thought.

Gongying Technology's Series C+ financing was nearing completion, and preparations for listing on the New Third Board had also been scheduled.

As the lead investor, Mingjian Capital was actively laying out plans, paving the way for the future.

Her early arrival in Magic City, four days ahead, was to report the current investment status of Youjie Housekeeping before Mingjian Capital's investment team, seek professional advice, and ensure the smooth arrival of the second tranche of investment funds.

This opportunity was given by Wang Wang Wang Wang Yu Bo, with the reason being his appreciation of her talent.

Beyond that, Wang Wang Wang Wang Yu Bo would also introduce her to some high-end connections.

Among them were even executives from Sequoia Capital and Jingwu Capital.

For Shen Yu, who thirsted for upward social mobility and was full of ambition, this was an irresistible temptation.

The essence of this society was actually not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Here, money, power, and resources were the true rule-makers.

Ordinary people could only passively accept the influence of these rules.

Moreover, she now needed to prove her value; this was an opportunity.

Shen Yu stood up, her eyes bright as she looked south, full of high aspirations.

"Magic City, see you the day after tomorrow!"

"Gurgle—!" Her stomach suddenly let out a loud rumble, interrupting her thoughts.

She paused for a moment, licking her lips. Having been too absorbed in her work and wanting to maintain her figure, she hadn't eaten dinner.

Now that she had finished organizing the materials, her mood improved greatly, and her appetite opened up along with it.

After a moment's thought, she quickly walked out of the bedroom, first opening the refrigerator to take a look.

Then she strode across to the opposite bedroom and pushed the door open directly.

Cheerful music drifted through the air.

What met her eyes was Xu Qing, wearing only underwear, lying prone on the bed with her buttocks raised, seemingly completely focused on watching something, entirely unaware that someone had entered.

Shen Shen Shen Shen Yu Yan raised an eyebrow, walked straight into the bedroom, and asked casually, "Sister Sister Sister Qingqing, did you eat dinner tonight?"

"Aaaah!" A piercing scream rang out.

Xu Qing flailed her hands in panic as she turned around, her twin tails whipping wildly; clearly, she had been terrified.

(° Kou °)!

After a moment, she sat up pretending to be calm, her pitch-black big eyes darting left and right, her heart full of guilt. "Yan Yan, w-why did you suddenly come in? Are you finished with your work?"

As a best friend of many years, Shen Shen Shen Shen Yu Yan immediately sensed something was amiss.

Narrowing her eyes slightly, she demanded, "What is that thing behind your back? Bring it out!"

Xu Qing's face instantly turned deathly pale, and she subconsciously retreated backward. "N-nothing! Don't talk nonsense; there's nothing there."

"So you're lying to me, huh? Hmph!" Shen Shen Shen Shen Yu Yan let out a cold laugh, rushed forward, and tackled her directly onto the bed, reaching out to snatch the item hidden behind her back.

"No, no!" Xu Qing shook her head vigorously, struggling.
