How about lunch together?”]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the message, Tian Jing immediately smiled and replied, “Sure! What do you like to eat? I’ll make a reservation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m fine with anything; just choose based on your taste.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief chat and settling on a restaurant, Tian Jing hummed a song as she changed into a short sports outfit. She watched an anime while exercising on the elliptical machine and treadmill for half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, she had breakfast, took a shower, did her skincare, and applied some makeup…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the weather, she changed into a light summer outfit in the dressing room and sprayed sunscreen on her exposed skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had naturally fair skin, which didn’t tan easily but could get red or sunburned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arranging her hairstyle, she stood in front of the mirror, satisfied with her appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At her father’s request, her work attire wasn’t overly bold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that she had become the salary supervisor, she needed to pay more attention to her impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it, she also pulled out a Bulgari ceramic ring from her jewelry cabinet and put it on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grabbing her bag and car keys, she was just about to head out when her father, Tian Chengye, walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Daddy, I’m off to work! Bye-bye,” she sweetly waved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait a moment, Jingjing.” Tian Chengye looked at his daughter, his tone gentle. “How’s it going with Yufan lately?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s there to say? It’s just normal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You two have known each other for quite a while. Why not have dinner or catch a movie together to communicate more? Although Yufan has a rich romantic history, he’s a good guy and quite capable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Jing’s eyes widened, “Dad, what do you mean? Are you sacrificing your precious daughter for your own benefit?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Chengye hurriedly reassured her, “That’s not it! Your Uncle Liang and I are old friends, and now Yufan is your colleague. I just hope he can take care of you more at work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Jing retorted angrily, “I don’t need it! I’m not a child; I can take care of myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew she didn’t like Liang Yufan, but he was still being forced upon her at the company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be mad, Jingjing. I was just suggesting.” Tian Chengye quickly soothed her. “I arranged for Yufan to be in the Investment Relations Department mainly to get more interaction with Smile Capital; it’s not that I’m trying to set you two up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t care about those messy matters. I have no interest in him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about others? There are so many excellent young people who have joined the company recently. Are there any you’re interested in?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Tian Jing blinked and blurted out, “Actually, there is!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who?” Tian Chengye perked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His precious daughter was already 22 and had never been in a relationship. She was always immersed in the 2D world and had odd ways of speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He feared that his daughter might have issues in her heart, so he arranged for her to work at the company, hoping she would meet more people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Jing smiled brightly, “That tech consultant, Tang Song, is quite nice. We have a good relationship, and I’m having lunch with him today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tang Song?” Tian Chengye frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had heard this name a lot lately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Wenzen from Smile Capital praised him highly, and he was nominated as CTO at a board meeting, only to discover he had already left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the company’s supervisor, he naturally knew the details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Fan Wenzen’s support, and Tang Song’s own determination, the leadership eventually compromised and hired him as a tech consultant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the information received, he didn’t have a very good impression of Tang Song; he was indeed a capable young man but had a bit of arrogance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, without interaction, he wouldn’t easily jump to conclusions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking for a moment, he directly asked, “Jingjing, do you like him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Jing stuck out her pink tongue and made a face at him, “Perhaps? I don’t really know. Anyway, it’s my business; you can’t meddle. Alright, I have to go to work now. Bye!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang!” The door was slammed shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the pink Audi A5 drove onto the main road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Linjin Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After parking the car, Tian Jing hummed a song as she took the elevator up, feeling great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would see Tang Song soon, and they could study palmistry together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, looking at photos all the time could get dull; it would be nice to occasionally touch and squeeze a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding——” The elevator stopped on the first floor, and several people entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jingjing, good morning!” A cool-looking boy waved at her, holding a motorcycle helmet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Li Junyi from the Strategic Planning Department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good morning, Junyi.” Tian Jing smiled and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They chatted for a moment, and the elevator arrived at the 20th floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good morning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Morning, Supervisor Tian, Supervisor Li.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good morning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking into the Jinxiu Commerce main entrance, colleagues often greeted her with smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the work start time approached, the office area was bustling with people, and there were many new faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Jinxiu Commerce received investment from Smile Capital, it had expanded significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The company was negotiating with Linjin Tower’s property to rent the 19th floor as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, various shareholders, directors, and executives had sent many excellent young relatives to the company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were suddenly many high-quality young people, and the overall atmosphere changed dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Junyi was one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Handsome, sociable, generous, and a prestigious school graduate, he was very popular in the company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yue, who had been paying attention to the entrance, quickly got up and handed him an iced drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a playful tone, she said, “Junyi, riding your motorcycle to work again? It’s hot out; drink something cold.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks, Yueyue. I was just a bit thirsty.” Li Junyi casually accepted the drink and continued chatting with Tian Jing about his weekend travels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the two leave, Zhao Yue bit her lip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Tian Jing again! It seemed like everyone was eager to flatter her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mood had been fluctuating lately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After failing to pursue Tang Song, combined with his remark, “Do you know what Tian Jing particularly likes?” she felt deeply hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took her a long time to recover, and she had decided to find a more outstanding boyfriend to prove herself right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the company brought in several young and wealthy handsome men, which delighted her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, Li Junyi, with his social media filled with luxury cars, mansions, and high-end goods, constantly stimulated Zhao Yue's nerves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he was related to some big leaders in the company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to him, Tang Song seemed insignificant; this was the real quality target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Zhao Yue immediately made him her new target, dressing up extravagantly every day and occasionally finding opportunities to chat with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their relationship was decent, and he often replied to her messages at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as soon as she was with Tian Jing, she immediately became a dispensable bystander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was so great about Tian Jing? Wasn’t it just because she had a good background?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Yue!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder, startling Zhao Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you daydreaming\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>about?” Hu Mingli sat down beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing, just thinking about work issues.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re so diligent! Keep it up! The company is growing rapidly, and there will be many promotion opportunities in the future.” Hu Mingli smiled encouragingly, feeling great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost 28 years old, she had finally welcomed her benefactor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Tang Song as her strong backing, layoffs would have nothing to do with her, and she could steadily rise to a management position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Transitioning from a technical executor to a team leader would expose her to higher-level people, which was extremely beneficial for her future development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey Mingli, I heard from Huihui in HR that Director Tang is coming to the company today. Is that true?” a colleague suddenly asked cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Tang Song’s name, Zhao Yue bit her lip, mentally reassuring herself, “It’s nothing; he’s just the CTO. In the end, he’s still working; who knows when he might be laid off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else perked up immediately.ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel-fire.net\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard that too; it seems he hasn’t signed a contract yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then will there be a big adjustment in our department?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Peng was taken aback and shook his head, “I don’t know; I haven’t heard Director… Tang say anything about it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t the type to be ambitious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had a good relationship with Tang Song before, the huge gap in their current identities made him unsure of how to interact with him, so he hadn’t reached out actively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Mingli raised her eyebrows and said, “Everyone, get ready; Director Tang will be here soon, and then we’ll have a meeting together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colleagues subconsciously straightened up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many felt uneasy, regretting their earlier decisions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Tang Song left, he had invited them for a meal, but fearing that Director Chen might have opinions about them affecting their job promotions, they had found various excuses to decline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he was back, they were unsure how he would treat them, the old colleagues.\u003C\u002Fp>",1858,"2026-06-06T14:41:47.870Z",1,"novelbin.me","bb460aca326ec31c20df04159a198e3fa488bc121d71950b0bab8afee83f93a3","maxing-out-charisma-inheriting-game-assets-chapter-148","maxing-out-charisma-inheriting-game-assets-chapter-146",874,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmaxing-out-charisma-inheriting-game-assets-cover.jpg"]
