Chapter 605: Liu Liu Qingning and Shen Shen Yuyan
Before Tang Tang Maolin could recover from his immense shock, the principal of the First High School, Liu Liu Zengyin, had already approached Tang Song with a nervous expression.
He took the initiative to reach out his hand: "Hello, student Tang Song, student Liu Liu Qingning, sorry to have kept you waiting."
Tang Song shook his hand politely: "Hello, Principal Liu."
"Principal Liu." Liu Liu Qingning also smiled sweetly.
Liu Liu Zengyin turned to the side, his tone enthusiastic to the point of excitement, and introduced them: "Let me introduce you. This is the Secretary of the Jingxian County Party Committee, Zhang Chengming.
Secretary Zhang, this is our outstanding alumnus who graduated from our First High School, Tang Song. This is the top scorer in the college entrance examination from our county that year, Liu Liu Qingning." Upon hearing Liu Liu Zengyin's introduction, the expressions of Tang Tang Jianying and Xu Feng froze instantly, their faces filled with confusion and bewilderment.
What was going on? Why had the county officials come in person?
On the other side, Li Li Qiaoling was already stunned.
Although she did not work within the system, because of Tang Tang Maolin, she naturally paid attention to such things.
She was somewhat familiar with the main leaders of the county. At this moment, staring blankly at this incredible scene, she felt as if her brain had stopped functioning.
"Hello, Secretary Zhang." Tang Song smiled and took the initiative to reach out his hand.
Zhang Chengming immediately stepped forward, gripped Tang Song's hand firmly with both hands, and shook it cordially.
His voice was loud and infectious: "Hello, Chairman Tang. I have heard of the great name of Rongliu Capital like thunder! I never imagined,
that the person steering this capital giant was actually a young talent from our Jingxian County. Truly, heroes emerge from the youth. Our Jingxian County has good mountains and good water; it really knows how to nurture people!"
Zhang Chengming's face wore a smile unique to an elder seeing an outstanding junior, full of appreciation and enthusiasm.
Tang Song responded with a smile: "Secretary Zhang, you flatter me. I am just a native of Jingxian County, and I am truly happy to see my hometown changing with each passing day."
"Young people like you, with ability and vision, are the greatest hope for the future of our hometown!" Zhang Chengming patted the back of his hand firmly. "I heard that you and student Liu Qingning were returning to your alma mater for the school anniversary. As elders, it is only right and proper that we come to welcome you in person."
As he spoke, he introduced the people behind him to Tang Song one by one.
With the warm pleasantries between both sides,
Tang Tang Maolin finally began to recover.
He looked at his own nephew, who was being affectionately addressed as "Chairman Tang" by Secretary Zhang and surrounded by county leaders like stars around the moon. His throat moved involuntarily, and his face flushed with extreme excitement.
He did not know what "Rongliu Capital" was, nor did he understand what a "capital giant" was, but having spent many years in the system, he could judge from the recent titles and the almost humble attitude of the county leaders that,
this nephew of his was extraordinary.
He had originally come with the mentality of just trying his luck, shamelessly asking for help, but he never expected that the "deity" he was seeking help from was so significant!
The pleasantries concluded.
Tang Song introduced to the people behind him: "Secretary Zhang, this is my father, Tang Tang Jianying. This is my mother, Xu Feng."
"Hello."
"Hello, Secretary Zhang." Xu Feng and Tang Tang Jianying hurriedly greeted him.
Even now, they were still somewhat unclear about the situation.
They had originally thought that Principal Liu from the First High School was coming, but instead, a group of county leaders had arrived.
Although they did not work within the system, they had heard of the local officials.
"This is my uncle, Tang Tang Maolin, and my aunt, Li Li Qiaoling."
Seeing Tang Song introduce him, Tang Tang Maolin trembled all over, immediately realizing that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
He stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "Hello, Secretary Zhang. I am Tang Tang Maolin. At the special meeting on 'optimizing the business environment' organized by the county last month, I had the honor of hearing your report. I currently work in the Planning Section of the County Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau."
Hearing "Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau," Zhang Chengming's eyes lit up, and he immediately said with a smile: "Oh, hello, Tang Maolin. The Planning Section is very important. The blueprint for our county's future urban construction depends on you frontline cadres to draw it stroke by stroke."
These high-EQ words both pointed out the importance of his department and gave him full affirmation.
Tang Tang Maolin felt a wave of heat rush to his head, and his voice trembled slightly: "Thank you for your encouragement, Secretary. We will definitely do our best and not live up to the expectations of the County Party Committee."
Immediately, his gaze turned to Tang Song, his heart surging.
Originally, he had only come to pay a visit, harboring the naive hope of making his "request."
He had even thought that even if Tang Song were willing to help, he would have to inquire everywhere and ask people to pass messages.
But the scene before him made him feel as if he were in a dream.
Tang Song didn't need to say anything at all; as long as he was casually introduced here, he could leave an impression in front of the Secretary.
And the weight of this "being remembered" was often more useful than human relationships cultivated through ten or eight years of hard work.
He swallowed secretly, feeling his chest burning.
Without knowing it, he had actually acquired a major backer.
In the Quancheng Municipal Government building, inside a high-standard reception room set up temporarily.
Shen Shen Yuyan sat upright on the sofa to one side, with a steaming cup of green tea in front of her.
A proper and composed smile hung on her face as she listened carefully to the introduction from the Mayor's secretary opposite her.
Since arriving in Quancheng at noon, she had been conducting formal work coordination with the Municipal Government Office in the capacity of [Special Assistant to the Chairman of Rongliu Capital].
During this half-day, the courtesy she received could be called "super VIP."
The city not only arranged an independent suite at the Guest House and the highest-standard reception luncheon for her, but also had the Mayor's secretary, Wang Tao, accompany her throughout the entire process.
From the detailed flow of tomorrow's school anniversary ceremony and the list of accompanying city leaders to the time nodes of every segment, the other party communicated everything to her in detail.
And they repeatedly sought her opinion, keeping a very low profile.
This feeling of being recognized and feared by the center of power kept her in a state of "semi-climax" at all times.
She was in high spirits, and her performance became increasingly outstanding.
She felt that she was born to navigate such occasions.
Near dusk.
Shen Shen Yuyan came to an independent lounge, trying hard to calm her surging thoughts.
In her mind, she was rapidly reviewing all the information she had obtained this afternoon.
Unlike Lin Lin Muxue, who was obsessed with superficial pomp, she was more keen on exploring the most essential power logic behind the pomp.
The reason why the Quancheng Municipal Government would show such super-standard importance to her and Tang Song was not just because of the "ten billion dollars" bait.
And in the seemingly casual chat with Secretary Wang Tao just now, relying on her keen sense of smell and information-capturing ability, she had already roughly pieced together the whole picture.
Quancheng, and even the entire Yan Province, was facing the huge growing pains of industrial upgrading.
Traditional heavy industry had excess capacity, while emerging industries could not form a scale, leading to constant tightness in local finances and weak economic growth.
And Tang Song and the capital empire behind him happened to hold a "trump card" that the Mayor of Quancheng could not refuse.
That was the [Xuanji Light World] project that was about to be launched.
This massive project, jointly promoted by Tang Yi Precision and Liu Qingning Technology, representing the "next-generation human-computer interaction portal," was selecting core hardware foundries and supply chain partners nationwide.
And [Rongliu Capital] happened to be one of the most important lead investors in the A-round financing of this project.
Coincidentally, the entire Yan Province, due to Tang Yi Precision's industrial layout in the surrounding area in the early years, just happened to possess the complete industrial foundation and supporting industrial chain to undertake this top-tier capacity.
If they could keep this top-tier capacity, which concerned the technological trend of the next decade, in the local area through Tang Song's line, it would be a huge political achievement worthy of being recorded in history for the manufacturing upgrading of the entire Yan Province, the formation of high-tech industrial clusters, and even the hundreds of billions of dollars in tax revenue and employment positions.
Moreover, [Rongliu Capital]'s ten-billion-dollar mother fund was also very large; this was real, solid capital.
If even a small portion could be landed in Quancheng through the establishment of a regional sub-fund, it would instantly revitalize the entire local venture capital ecosystem.
Having figured all this out, Shen Shen Yuyan let out a long breath, a scorching light flashing in her eyes that she had never had before.
The position she was in now was not just a simple "assistant," but the most critical "hub" connecting the three major power sectors of top-tier capital, cutting-edge technology, and local government.
She liked this feeling, immensely addicted to it.
Even just imagining the possible future scenes made her feel a wave of damp heat deep in her body.
She squeezed her slender thighs wrapped in silk stockings.
After organizing her thoughts again, she finally took out her phone and quickly dialed Tang Song's number.
"Hello, Chairman Tang, I have finished docking all the processes with the municipal government. Tomorrow, Mayor Li will personally lead a team to arrive one hour before the school anniversary ceremony starts for a brief private meeting with you."
She paused and added: "As for the school anniversary activity itself, Mayor Li will only make a symbolic appearance. After all, with his status, it is not appropriate for him to stand on the stage for a county-level middle school anniversary for too long."
"Hmm, thank you for your hard work, Shirley, very efficient."
"It's not hard work, serving Chairman Tang." Shen Shen Yuyan paused, her tone becoming ambiguous. "However, reports over the phone and email always feel like they lack a bit of warmth.
I am worried that some important details might not be conveyed properly. I will set off from Quancheng now to find you in Jingxian County and report to you in person.
By the way, let you check whether my work today is qualified~"
However, to her surprise, this time Tang Song did not follow her lead to flirt with her as usual.
Instead, he used an exceptionally solemn, business-like tone: "Okay. It's almost mealtime, just come over directly, we can have a meal together and finalize the specific details in person."
"Okay, Chairman Tang." Shen Shen Yuyan's eye twitched, and a strong sense of frustration surged in her heart instantly.
She had originally thought that with Lin Lin Muxue and Sister Qingqing not around, her taking the initiative to "rush thousands of miles" to his hometown was the perfect opportunity to close the distance and break the ambiguous boundary.
But what was this now?
Why did she feel more like a simple "tool person"?
A feeling of being anxious about gains and losses surged into her heart.
This hateful, aloof Sigma man!
It was almost enough to make her, this "scheming Yan," pout her lips in anticipation!
Walking out of the lounge, she said goodbye to the municipal government leaders.
Mayor's secretary Wang Tao personally sent her downstairs and opened the door of the black Audi A6L with municipal government license plates for her. Shen Shen Yuyan bent down gracefully to sit in, saying goodbye again.
The car started slowly and merged steadily into the city's traffic as the lights came on.
Shen Shen Yuyan leaned back in the spacious rear seat, watching the unfamiliar night view of Quancheng receding rapidly outside the window, but her thoughts drifted to another place.
Her hometown, Luocheng.
That city which also belonged to the third tier but carried all the memories of her youth.
In the three-plus years since graduating from university, for the sake of that ambition not to be ordinary, she only rushed back for a few days every Chinese New Year.
Saying she didn't miss home or her parents would be a lie.
Wait a little longer, wait a little longer. Wait until she had completely secured her footing in Rongliu Capital, wait until her relationship with Tang Song could take that most critical step forward. By then, she would definitely return home in glory!
Not only that, there were also [Gongying Technology], [Mingjian Capital], Ren Ren Mingyuan, Wang Wang Yubo... she wouldn't let any of them off!
It's funny to say, ever since Rongliu Capital became famous, that hypocrite Ren Ren Mingyuan had said many soft words to her in private, with every line full of seeking peace and flattery.
Unfortunately, if apologies were useful, what would the police be for?
Heh.
Without completely stepping [Gongying Technology] under her feet, without letting Ren Ren Mingyuan and the others taste that kind of desperate feeling of having nowhere to turn.
How could she vent this bad breath smoothly?
The night grew deeper, and the car drove away from the urban area of Quancheng.
Shen Shen Yuyan opened WeChat and left a message for Tang Song: "Chairman Tang, I'll be in Jingxian County in about twenty minutes."
After a while.
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
[Tang Song: Hongyun Restaurant.map]
[Tang Song: "Just come here directly, I'll be there soon."]
After replying quickly, Shen Shen Yuyan told the driver, and a bright smile couldn't help but appear on her face.
Finally going to meet.
Tang Song, watch how I capture you tonight!
Around 6 PM.
The black Audi A6L passed through the slightly narrow streets of the county town and stopped slowly in front of a small detached building with warm yellow lights.
Shen Shen Yuyan pushed open the car door and got out.
The cold air of early winter rushed towards her.
She tightened the cashmere suit on her body and walked into the restaurant that looked quite elegant with graceful steps.
Inside the restaurant, it was full of warm and lively fireworks atmosphere.
Shen Shen Yuyan's expectant gaze swept across the hall rapidly.
Almost without the slightest pause, it locked precisely onto the figure in the corner by the window.
The warm ceiling light of the restaurant spilled down diagonally from above his head, casting a layer of soft and distinct light and shadow on his three-dimensional and deep facial features.
He was not wearing those formal clothes with powerful auras from the past, but was just casually wearing a mint green turtleneck cashmere sweater.
The simple combination set off his perfect body proportions of broad shoulders and narrow waist, as well as his healthy and fair skin tone, even more.
He was leaning to the side, one hand casually resting on the window sill, seemingly saying something to someone, his mouth overflowing with a touch of pure and warm smile she had never seen before.
(Pure and warm smile.)
Seemingly noticing her figure, Tang Song slowly turned his head.
His deep and clear eyes were full of tenderness.
A strong, tingling electric current rushed from her tailbone straight to the top of her head, making her legs uncontrollably go slightly soft.
This was Tang Song she had never seen before.
She had never thought that she would see such a clean, warm, and reassuring fireworks atmosphere from him.
Her heartbeat began to accelerate, Shen Shen Yuyan pursed her lips lightly, and mist floated in her eyes.
Immediately, the expression on her face froze.
Her gaze shifted slightly to the left, and she saw the cute girl sitting opposite Tang Song.
She was wearing a women's turtleneck sweater of the same style as Tang Song's, and her long black hair was neatly tied into a refreshing high ponytail.
Her full and plump chest propped up a breathtaking curve.
A standard "child-face, giant-breast" type beauty.
Their eyes met.
A smile appeared on the girl's face, and her eyes curved into two beautiful crescent moons.
Shen Shen Yuyan felt cold from head to toe instantly.
She had originally thought that Tang Song was inviting her alone to eat at a restaurant in his hometown.
She had even carefully designed some small tips for this to close the distance inadvertently.
But she never expected that there would be someone else here.
And, looking at the girl's attire and the atmosphere between her and Tang Song, there was no doubt that this was also his woman.
A brand-new woman she had never heard of and never seen before.
She also finally understood that Tang Song's gentle expression just now was not for her at all.
A strong emotion, mixed with jealousy and frustration, gripped her heart instantly.
However, this emotion only lasted for a few seconds.
Shen Shen Yuyan forcibly suppressed all the waves in her heart, and put that impeccable smile back on her face.
She walked over with graceful and composed steps.
"Chairman Tang, good evening." Her voice was gentle and appropriate. "So you have guests, I didn't disturb you, did I?"
Before Tang Song could speak, the girl opposite had already taken the initiative to stand up.
She was not tall, but because of her body proportions and temperament, she appeared exceptionally upright.
"Hello, my name is Liu Liu Qingning, and I am Tang Song's girlfriend. You must be Assistant Shen, right? Very happy to meet you."
Shen Shen Yuyan's eye twitched, but she maintained her smile.
She reached out her hand to shake the other party's lightly, her voice soft: "Hello, Miss Liu. I am Chairman Tang's special assistant, Shen Shen Yuyan, you can just call me Shen Yuyan."
"Shen Yuyan, sit down quickly, you haven't eaten yet, right? Look at the menu, add whatever you want to eat."
Liu Liu Qingning greeted her enthusiastically, her pair of bright big eyes looking her up and down.
Shen Shen Yuyan sat down in the seat next to her. "Thank you, no need, I ate quite a lot at noon, just eat a little bit in the evening. Coming here this time is mainly to report work to Chairman Tang."
"Work matters are not urgent, let's eat first."
"Hmm, thank you, Miss Liu."
"No need to be so polite, just call me Liu Qingning."
"Uh—" Shen Shen Yuyan glanced at Tang Song diagonally opposite, and nodded lightly. "Okay, thank you, Liu Qingning."
The atmosphere of the meal was full of subtle tension.
Liu Liu Qingning and Tang Song were like the most ordinary couple in love, natural and intimate.
She would help Tang Song pick out the fish bones and put them into his bowl.
He would also help her peel shrimp shells and pass her tissues.
From time to time, the two would look at each other and smile, or play around because of some boring little things.
That couple atmosphere full of life was so thick it was almost overflowing.
Tang Song was like a competent, perfect boyfriend, full of patience and doting towards his girlfriend.
Shen Shen Yuyan's eyes were green, and she was restless.
Good fellow, this is calling me over to be slaughtered like a dog!
Poor her, running all this way, trying hard to perform, and fully prepared.
Halfway through the meal.
Liu Liu Qingning stood up and said, "I'm going to the restroom."
After her figure disappeared, Tang Song looked at Shen Shen Yuyan. "Thank you for your hard work, Shirley, making you work overtime on the weekend and run this trip. I received your email, you did a great job."
"Thank you for the compliment, Chairman Tang."
Shen Shen Yuyan looked at Tang Song's handsome face and bit her lip.
This suddenly appearing Liu Liu Qingning really gave her a completely different feeling.
She had never envied and been jealous of Tang Song's women like this before; she could feel that it was true love, and very pure.
In her heart, a strong impulse for adventure and a competitive spirit suddenly surged.
She glanced at the direction of the restroom, confirming that Liu Liu Qingning's figure had completely disappeared.
Then, she calmly freed her foot wrapped in black silk stockings from her high heels.
Under the restaurant table, it was covered with a thick carpet, which could cover up all the sounds.
"Chairman Tang." While she began to report work in a low voice, her body leaned forward slightly. "Regarding the arrangements for tomorrow's school anniversary, I suggest—"
Her words continued, and the foot with body temperature under the table had already landed flexibly on Tang Song's lower leg.
Her toes slid tentatively and lightly on his muscle lines through the fabric of his suit pants.
Tang Song's body paused slightly, and he exhaled lightly.
Looking at the calm and professional Shen Yu across from her, and feeling the subtle, lingering provocation beneath the table,
a strange feeling surged into his heart.
It must be said, School Beauty Shen really knows how to play.
Their eyes met, Shen Shen Yuyan pursed her plump lips and showed Tang Song a professional, perfect smile.
After a while, when Liu Liu Qingning's figure reappeared in her sight.
Shen Shen Yuyan gently withdrew her foot and continued to report work, as if nothing had happened.
"Mayor Li wants to meet you, if I'm not mistaken, it should be because of [Xuanji Light World]—"
After she finished reporting work.
Liu Liu Qingning smiled and continued to show affection with Tang Song.
Shen Shen Yuyan's legs twisted under the table, and that restless heart that had just been suppressed emerged again.
This time, she directly stretched her foot over under the hidden tablecloth in front of Liu Liu Qingning.
A feeling that could not be described in words surged in her heart.
Is this probably the kind of NTR pleasure that Sister Qingqing mentioned?
So strange... but so good. Oh no! Could it be that I, like Xiao Jing, have some special hobby?
In order to divert her increasingly dangerous divergent thinking, Shen Shen Yuyan turned slightly to the side.
She smiled and said to Liu Liu Qingning: "Liu Qingning, your name is really nice. It reminds me of a phenomenal enterprise that has been particularly popular recently called 'Liu Qingning Technology'."
Liu Liu Qingning's action of picking up food for Tang Song paused, and she blinked playfully: "What a coincidence, I work at this company."
"Oh? Such a coincidence?" Shen Yuyan asked curiously: "Then what kind of work do you do inside?"
She was truly curious about Liu Liu Qingning to the extreme at this moment.
She wanted to know what kind of background this girl, who suddenly popped up and could make Tang Song reveal that rare tenderness, had.
Liu Liu Qingning glanced at Tang Song opposite, and a mysterious arc curled up at the corner of her mouth. "I am the person in charge of Qingmi AI."
The smile on Shen Shen Yuyan's face froze instantly, and she took a deep breath. "This—"
She certainly knew what this sentence meant.
"Qingmi AI" was definitely the hottest App in the tech circle this year, with over 100 million users in just a few months, and it had already firmly stood at the threshold of a unicorn level.
Even she herself was a loyal user.
And Liu Liu Qingning was actually the person in charge of this product?!
Looking at this girl opposite with a youthful appearance, gentle and fresh,
Shen Shen Yuyan's breathing became disordered, and her foot under the table was put down uncontrollably.
Immediately after, as if she suddenly remembered something, her eyelids jumped wildly.
"I remember now." Shen Shen Yuyan's voice even became a bit dry. "[Xuanji Light World] project, you—you are also a participant? I seem to have seen your name in the news—"
While organizing project materials these two days, she had seen the name "Liu Liu Qingning."
It was just that she couldn't connect the two.
Liu Liu Qingning put down her chopsticks.
"It seems that just as Tang Song said, Assistant Shen is really dedicated to work. Just now I heard you mention that the Quancheng Municipal Government wants to land the hardware foundry of [Xuanji Light World] in Yan Province? Coincidentally, if nothing goes wrong, I will also be in charge of this [Xuanji Light World] project.
And you are the assistant to the Chairman of Rongliu Capital, so in the future, perhaps we will have a lot of contact."
She paused, took out her phone, clicked on the WeChat QR code, and handed it to Shen Shen Yuyan.
Looking at the sharp light that appeared for the first time in the big, watery eyes of the sexy and beautiful Assistant Shen next to her, "Let's add WeChat, Shen Yuyan."
At that moment, Shen Shen Yuyan felt as if she had been heavily pressed by an invisible mountain, and even breathing became somewhat difficult.
[Qingmi AI], [Xuanji Light World]—
How is this possible? How old is she?!
