It’s been a while.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It really has been a while. How have you been?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muxue stood with her hands in front of her, holding her clutch, her eyes shimmering slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the day, she had been young and reckless, constantly insecure and fearful of competitors trying to steal Tang Song’s affection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why she had deliberately targeted both Shen Yuyan and Xu Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in recent months, after everything that had happened, her mindset had begun to change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starting next week, she would officially join Confluent Capital, moving into her own private office as an executive assistant, marking the beginning of her new career.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had already purchased a set of personal office items, including desk organizers, a calendar, aromatherapy, and decorations—she couldn’t wait to set everything up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of that, her company, Xue Tang Culture, had just signed its first batch of actors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, all that was left was for the Yannan Film Base to open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Shen Yuyan again, she no longer felt the urge to prove herself—instead, she felt calm and observant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve been well.” Shen Yuyan’s expression was serene and gentle, but deep inside, she felt a bitter ache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, this period had been one of the most frustrating times of her life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no words to describe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, standing in front of an accomplished, confident Lin Muxue, the sense of defeat in her heart became even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she quickly adjusted her mindset and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We really do run into each other a lot. Xiaoxue, what brings you here today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm, Handing Group is hosting the launch of their Yunding Residence series today.

I’ll take you in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yuyan sincerely expressed her gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yunding Residence was one of the hottest real estate projects in Yan City—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first phase consisted entirely of large-scale luxury apartments, with its target buyers being high-net-worth individuals and entrepreneurs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At present, the property management company had not yet selected a housekeeping service provider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She and Li Meixia had tried multiple times to schedule a meeting with the project directors, but they had never found an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since top executives from the headquarters would be attending this launch event, it was the perfect chance to connect with the decision-makers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she could establish a connection with the property management directors, it would be incredibly beneficial for Youjie Domestic Services.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And having Lin Muxue by her side would help reduce obstacles and dismissiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elevator ascended smoothly, stopping on the 4th floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they stepped out, a long red carpet stretched before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muxue lifted her chin slightly, swayed her slender waist, and strode forward with graceful confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yuyan adjusted her blazer and followed closely behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they approached the banquet check-in area, several staff members rushed over with warm enthusiasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good evening, Miss Lin.

Let me escort you to the VIP section.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were all Handing Group staff members, including several department leaders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you.” Lin Muxue smiled gracefully, seemingly unaffected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in the corner of her eye, she subtly glanced at Shen Yuyan—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of undeniable excitement flashed across her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavens, help me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I swear I didn’t do this on purpose. You walked right into it yourself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yannan Short Drama Film Base negotiations—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had attended every meeting with Tang Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, she had also handled several business emails related to the project.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, she had gotten to know some of Handing Group’s senior executives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had received a personal invitation from one of Handing Group’s vice presidents—in other words, she was attending on behalf of Tang Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Shen Yuyan tagging along—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was just for fun, enjoying the attention and showcasing her presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, with less than 20,000 yuan in savings, why would she attend a high-end real estate launch event?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they stepped into the brilliantly lit banquet hall, the air was filled with the delicate blend of perfume, fresh flowers, and gourmet food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many guests had already arrived, gathered in small clusters engaged in conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Shen Yuyan walked, she scanned the room, spotting several familiar faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Lin Muxue suddenly stopped walking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two middle-aged men in sharp suits approached them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them, with a warm smile, greeted, “Miss Lin, we’re delighted to have you here tonight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, President Zhao, for the invitation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Lin Muxue stepped slightly aside and introduced them calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yuyan, this is Mr. Zhao Mingwen, Vice President of Handing Group Headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>President Zhao, this is my friend Shen Yuyan. She’s interested in our project and wanted to come along to learn more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Mingwen greeted her enthusiastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Welcome, Miss Shen!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, President Zhao.” Shen Yuyan struggled to remain composed, politely bowing slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes, however, betrayed undeniable shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a housekeeping entrepreneur, she was very familiar with Handing Group—a top-tier real estate developer in Yan Province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Established in 2004, it held national first-class real estate development certification and second-class property management certification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With 15 subsidiaries and 2,800 employees, it was a diversified enterprise, spanning real estate, construction, engineering management, property services, and financial investment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a high-ranking vice president of a major corporation was standing right in front of her, treating them so warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Lin Muxue’s calm and collected demeanor, Shen Yuyan couldn’t understand it, but she was deeply shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only she had such connections, securing contracts for a few residential complexes or office buildings would be a piece of cake. Youjie Domestic Services’ crisis would be solved effortlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the power of resources and connections—the very thing she lacked the most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>31st Floor—Heaven Bar\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around them, everyone was chatting excitedly about Xu Qing’s fiancé—how outstanding he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Yajing couldn’t help but feel intrigued. She leaned in and whispered, “Qingqing, your boyfriend is still good for dinner later, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was counting on her precious daughter’s boyfriend to make her proud tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem. He lives nearby, so he’ll get here quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing warned, “Mom, when you see him, please be reserved! We just got together, so don’t start calling him son-in-law and scaring him off!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew her mom too well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Tang Song showed up in person, she’d definitely be overjoyed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if she started talking about marriage and having kids, she’d die of embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Relax, relax, I got it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Yajing grinned. “Look at what I’m wearing today—all designer brands! Isn’t it stylish? Does it look good?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, yes, yes!” Xu Qing rolled her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still waiting for Shen Yuyan, she nudged her again on WeChat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Cunning Yan: Ran into Xiaoxue in the lobby. Chatting with her for a bit, I’ll come find you later.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the message, Xu Qing’s heart skipped a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muxue is there too?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From their few meetings, Lin Muxue had always given her an aggressive impression—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, with her close relationship with Tang Song, Xu Qing often dreamed about her—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the villainous female antagonist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impression was too deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Yajing cleared her throat loudly, smiling as she announced,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, I almost forgot to tell you all—Qingqing’s boyfriend is joining us later! You’ll all get to meet him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Qingqing has a boyfriend now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t see her post about it on Moments. When did this happen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just recently.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing’s cheeks flushed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With all these elders around, discussing this topic felt so awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Huijuan asked with concern, “Is the young man also based in Yan City? What does he do for work?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, he’s in Yan City, and he runs his own business.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh?” Zhang Huijuan’s brows lifted slightly. “What’s his name? Maybe I’ve heard of him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been in Yan City for over 20 years, climbing up from wholesale trading to owning her own factory, she had a wide network and had met all kinds of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If possible, she wanted to vet this young man for Qingqing, just to make sure he wasn’t a bad match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing bit her lip and answered, “His name is Tang Song.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Huijuan thought for a moment, then shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t know him. I don’t think we’ve crossed paths.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tang Song…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xuan muttered the name, then suddenly said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That sounds familiar… I feel like I’ve heard it before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Huijuan’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Then when we meet him later, we should chat and see if we’ve met before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deep, steady male voice sounded from nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Apologies for being late.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing turned around and saw Wu Wenhao striding toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dressed in a navy blue suit, his neatly styled hair, well-defined features, and confident aura radiated a mature and composed presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xuan smiled and affectionately held onto his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a warm tone, she introduced him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wenhao, these are my mom’s longtime friends—they came all the way here for our wedding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wenhao nodded slightly, his face carrying a polite yet warm smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was calm and reassuring as he said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Welcome, everyone.

The vice president of the group is here today, so I accompanied him for a bit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The vice president is here? That means this banquet is a big deal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Huijuan lowered her voice. “If you’re busy with work, go handle that first—Xuanxuan and I can take care of things here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was extremely satisfied with this son-in-law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At such a young age, he was already a leader in Handing Group’s Investment Development Department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calling him young and successful was no exaggeration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s alright, Auntie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wenhao smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The leadership is just making an appearance—they won’t be staying long.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main launch event for Yunding Residence had already taken place earlier in the conference center and sales complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was just a celebratory banquet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then that’s good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Huijuan finally relaxed, then began introducing him to several of her friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group stood up enthusiastically, greeting him warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his confident demeanor and impressive status, Wu Wenhao immediately earned admiration from the elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest area remained lively for a while before Zhang Huijuan suggested,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s head downstairs. It’s getting crowded here—I booked a private room on the 5th floor. We can eat and chat there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good idea, it’s almost dinnertime.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they spoke, they gathered their belongings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Yajing nudged her daughter and whispered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qingqing, don’t forget to remind your boyfriend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing opened WeChat and sent Tang Song a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, why isn’t Yuyan here yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll call her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing quickly found Shen Yuyan’s contact and dialed directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a little worried her best friend might be getting bullied by Xiaoxue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Riiing—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phone in Shen Yuyan’s pocket vibrated violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She put down her wine glass, glanced at the caller ID, and quickly answered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, Qingqing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yanyan, are you okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yuyan glanced at Lin Muxue, who was standing nearby, and replied softly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m fine. Really.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight, Lin Muxue was much more composed than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, with a little guidance, she had even introduced her to several Handing Group executives, allowing her to exchange contacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pretty successful evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s good. We’re heading to the restaurant now—5th floor, Bojing Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, and Tang Song is coming later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can talk to him about Yunxi Property Management.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Tang Song’s name, Shen Yuyan’s heart skipped a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lowered her voice, “Got it. I’ll come find you soon. Bye-bye.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanging up, she turned to look at Lin Muxue, who was basking in attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She longed to be the center of attention too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more, she longed to stand at the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Biting her lip, she muttered internally,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoxue, don’t get too smug—I’m already working hard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t help but laugh at herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She used to say that when she made it big, she would take Xu Qing along to enjoy life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, she found herself pinning her hopes on Xu Qing instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song’s image surfaced in her mind once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the beginning, she had considered making a move herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her title as School Belle, along with her looks, figure, and emotional intelligence, she was confident she could win Tang Song’s favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as she observed more, she realized that her best friend had truly fallen for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were even nights when they slept together, and Xu Qing would call out “Tang Song” in her dreams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding this, she had backed off voluntarily, never again sending him gym photos or texting beyond normal friendly conversations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To her, her best friend was undoubtedly the most important person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she really went through with it, she’d be competing with Xu Qing for a man, and that was a line Shen Yuyan could never cross.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just thinking about it filled her with guilt, inner turmoil, and self-reproach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after one setback after another, seeing Tang Song’s influence, and how Xu Qing was treated so well, she couldn’t suppress a shameful thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after meeting Lin Muxue today, that thought became even more tempting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, Shen Yuyan shook her head and rejoined the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After toasting and chatting with the others for a while—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She affectionately held Lin Muxue’s arm and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiaoxue, thanks for your help tonight. Qingqing is waiting for me upstairs, so I won’t bother you any longer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Qingqing is here too?” Lin Muxue was momentarily stunned, her eyes widening slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, she’s at the 5th-floor restaurant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muxue pursed her lips and said, “Then I’ll go with you and say hi. I haven’t seen her in a while, and I do miss her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was handling some of the business operations at Lanfeng International Hotel, so she naturally knew about Tang Song and Xu Qing staying in the Presidential Suite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t harbor any hostility toward Tang Song’s women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Xu Qing was a bit playful and much cuter than her calculating best friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She actually enjoyed getting along with people like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And who knew—maybe one day, Tang Song would have them running a three-stack team together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Lin Muxue’s words, Shen Yuyan’s gaze flickered before she smiled and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure, let’s go sit for a bit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song would also be coming soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was curious to see Lin Muxue’s reaction, which might help her gauge the real nature of her relationship with Tang Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bojing Hall private dining room, a bright and spacious lounge area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone sat on genuine leather sofas, sipping steaming hot tea, filling the room with laughter and lively chatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh my, Wenhao is so refined and accomplished—he and Xuanxuan make such a perfect couple!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m so jealous of Huijuan! Her daughter is so outstanding, and now her son-in-law is just as impressive!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wishing you both a happy marriage and success in both family and career!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the undisputed main characters of the gathering, Wu Wenhao and Liu Xuan were the center of conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Yajing also sighed in admiration, but inside, she was itching with envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had lived a very ordinary and quiet life over the years, working as a store merchandiser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her personality was actually quite flamboyant, and she had been suppressing that side of herself for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that her daughter was rising fast, with such an amazing boyfriend, she just wanted to show off a little in front of her old friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her only concern was whether her daughter had exaggerated things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earnings from her writing and the company shares didn’t quite match what she had described.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this uncertainty, she had been holding back from boasting too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A plump auntie chuckled and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huijuan, my son is working in Yan City now too. He’s planning to buy a house next year. If we go with your son-in-law’s company, can we get a discount?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wenhao smiled and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course! As long as it’s a Handing Group property, I can get you an internal price—the discount will definitely be great.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fantastic! Then we’ll have to trouble you for that when the time comes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plump auntie was beaming with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Yajing, watching the exchange, couldn’t resist speaking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then if Qingqing ever wants to buy a house, we’ll have to trouble Wenhao too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her daughter’s career was taking off—who knew, maybe she’d want to buy a home soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Might as well bring it up now in case it came in handy later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhang Huijuan asked curiously,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You two are thinking of buying a place for Qingqing in Yan City?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no, no, that’s not what I meant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Yajing waved her hands and grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We parents aren’t that capable. Qingqing’s doing well on her own—she’s a shareholder in their company now, and she’s made quite a bit from writing novels.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh wow, Qingqing is that impressive?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s a company shareholder now?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her old friends’ shocked expressions, Han Yajing’s face lit up with pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xuan was stunned for a moment before she asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qingqing, where do you work now? Did you get equity incentives?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing nodded, unable to hide her smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I switched jobs a while ago. Now I’m working at a media company and received stock options—I’ve already exercised them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her daughter so composed and accomplished, Han Yajing felt deeply satisfied, her face glowing with pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s amazing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What does your company do? Advertising agency?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xuan’s brows lifted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had a new level of respect for this younger sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they hadn’t had much contact in the past two years, she knew Xu Qing very well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She never expected her to have such abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing smiled and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, we used to focus mainly on advertising agency services, but we’ve now shifted to micro-short drama production.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she heard “short drama”, Liu Xuan froze slightly, as if something had clicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she suddenly asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qingqing, your boyfriend—his name is Tang Song, like the Tang Song Yuan Ming Qing dynasty Tang Song, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tang Song?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wenhao immediately looked up, glancing at his fiancée in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing blinked, unsure why she had suddenly switched topics, but she still nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, that’s right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xuan let out a breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder his name sounded so familiar. Wenhao mentioned it a few times recently.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she and Wu Wenhao had been living together, she had occasionally heard about his work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like that mysterious new investment mogul in Yan City, Mr. Tang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, he was not only incredibly wealthy but also highly impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wenhao had frequently mentioned him at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she had never connected that Tang Song with Xu Qing’s boyfriend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Yajing’s eyes lit up instantly, excitement shining in her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xuanxuan, are you saying Wenhao knows Qingqing’s boyfriend?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a coincidence!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s attention snapped toward Wu Wenhao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wenhao was momentarily taken aback, then let out a small laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, it’s probably just a coincidence. The Tang Song I know is an investor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Yajing clapped her hands in excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then it must be him! Qingqing’s boyfriend is also an investor!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It matched perfectly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her daughter’s boyfriend wasn’t just some nobody!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xuan shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Auntie Han, don’t get too excited yet. The Tang Song Wenhao mentioned isn’t just any investor—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recently spent over 100 million yuan to acquire an 80% stake in Yannan Short Drama Film Base from Handing Group.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room erupted into gasps of amazement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Yajing’s smile slowly stiffened, as she turned to look at her precious daughter, suddenly feeling a little uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without a strong concept of money, anyone would understand what a billion-yuan film base meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing was stunned for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface, she tried to stay composed, but her little butt couldn’t help but wiggle, and she bit her lip tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was obvious—she was thrilled to the extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn you, Little Songzi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, he secured the Yannan Short Drama Film Base?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no way I can avoid flexing today!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She cleared her throat and grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well… yeah, it should be the same person. I didn’t expect this either—Wu Ge actually knows Tang Song.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room fell silent in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Yajing’s body trembled as she clutched her daughter’s hand tightly, her face flushed with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My dear daughter! You’ve truly made me proud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wenhao froze for a few seconds, staring at Xu Qing in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qingqing, could you tell me more about your boyfriend? I need to confirm something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone who could move over a billion yuan in cash flow—he knew exactly what that meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing is Tang Song’s girlfriend?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How is that possible?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xu Qing was about to speak, there was a knock on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the door slowly swung open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two tall, graceful figures stepped inside—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was dressed in a chic, casual suit, exuding elegance and confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other wore a stunning evening gown, poised and composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they appeared, all eyes in the room turned to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yanyan, you’re here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing immediately stood up and waved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yuyan exchanged a quick glance with her before stepping forward with confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aunt Zhang, Sister Xuan, Auntie, sorry for being late.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not late, not late!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Yajing stood up enthusiastically, grabbing her hand affectionately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Wu Wenhao suddenly shot up from his seat, his face filled with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Lin?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was loud, immediately drawing everyone’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yuyan’s mouth twitched—her expression nearly cracked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Xiaoxue is seriously insane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter where she goes, she always runs into someone she knows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s like she was born with a built-in flexing aura!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muxue blinked, her mind quickly recalling his information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wenhao—Investment Development Manager of Handing Group. One of Young Master Xie’s associates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had met him once when accompanying Tang Song to a private gathering at Junming Executive Lounge. (Chapter 397)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it had been a brief encounter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, she had been in high spirits that day, and her memory was particularly sharp, so she remembered his name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at Wu Wenhao, then at Xu Qing, who was sitting nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a calm, effortless smile, Lin Muxue said—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, Manager Wu. So, you know Qingqing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wenhao struggled to respond, his mind in chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muxue is Tang Song’s assistant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she knows Xu Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing’s so-called “boyfriend” could only be that Tang Song.\u003C\u002Fp>",4012,"2026-06-06T14:41:47.871Z",1,"novelbin.me","f70ca4f28ec323e58c02da47a9429e9bc4fe9d6ee4fbf836be5e3568f88903c6","maxing-out-charisma-inheriting-game-assets-chapter-429","maxing-out-charisma-inheriting-game-assets-chapter-427",874,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmaxing-out-charisma-inheriting-game-assets-cover.jpg"]
