Chapter 594 Her name
The entrance to the special needs ward was quiet.

Chen Shuangshuang stood there, tiptoeing, and secretly watched the two people at the end of the corridor through the small square glass window on the door.

On a cloudy afternoon, the light was filtered through thick clouds, making it soft and grayish-white.

A tear-streaked, bewildered older sister bends down to kiss a handsome young man, falls, and then embraces him…

In that instant, Chen Shuangshuang felt as if her breath had stopped.

So beautiful.

It's as beautiful as those top-quality Japanese romance anime that she's secretly watched countless times on Bilibili.

Recalling what happened today, she still felt it was all too bizarre.

My mother's serious illness, my father's hesitation, my older siblings' indifference...

When she learned all this, she cried secretly for a long time and even fantasized like a child.

Will there be a hero who shouts "Do you believe in the light?" and descends from the sky to save them?

She never imagined that the one who brought light would be her older sister, whom she had always rejected and even looked down upon.

And beside her, the man who looked like a character from a comic book.

Chen Shuangshuang subconsciously held her breath, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.

Although she was precocious and intelligent, she was still a fifteen-year-old girl after all.

There is an instinctive curiosity and longing for this kind of plot.

"Shuangshuang, what are you doing?"

The voice of Zhou Hui, the mother, came from the direction of the hospital bed.

Chen Shuangshuang quickly turned around, her face flushed, and stammered, "N-nothing."

"Your sister...is talking to Tang Song?" Zhou Hui's tone carried a hint of uncertainty. "What's...their situation now?"

Chen Shuangshuang returned to her mother's bedside, hesitated for a moment, then leaned closer and whispered, "Brother Tang Song is comforting my sister, and he even kissed her. He's hugging her now."

Zhou Hui paused, a complex and unfathomable emotion flashing in her eyes, which were clouded by illness.

There were surprises and relief, but more than anything, there was deep worry.

Chen Shuangshuang, oblivious to the change in her mother's expression, remained lost in her own thoughts. "Mom, who exactly is Brother Tang Song? How can he be so amazing?"

"I don't know either." Zhou Hui sighed softly, stroking her youngest daughter's hair with her rough hands. "Shuangshuang, you should spend more time with your sister in the future, and be closer to her. She has always liked you very much and wants to be good to you."

"Yes, I know." Chen Shuangshuang nodded, her voice much softer.

Seeing her two biological daughters grow closer because of this incident filled Zhou Hui with immense joy.

When they divorced, Zhang Yan did not receive custody because she lacked a stable income and was from out of town, while Zhang Yan had been studying in Jing County.

Of course, she really couldn't afford to raise them at the time.

It's incredibly difficult for a single mother with no diploma or job to raise a child in an unfamiliar city.

This has always been her greatest pain, and a debt she feels she must make up for no matter what.

That's why she has sent Zhang Yan living expenses and tuition fees all these years, even though the amount has long exceeded her legal obligation to support her.

It is precisely this "favoritism" that has triggered endless conflicts within blended families.

From childhood to adulthood, Shuangshuang has been ridiculed by her older siblings for this incident, who called her an "outsider" and said that her mother was a "traitor."

Over time, Shuangshuang developed such a deep aversion to the older sister she had never met.

Therefore, she never said anything harsh to Chen Shuangshuang because of her attitude towards Zhang Yan.

Chen Shuangshuang hesitated for a moment, then pleaded in a low voice, "Mom, actually Dad... also wants to get you treated, but..."

“I know, I’ve never been angry with him about this, and I was always the one who initiated the divorce.” Zhou Hui interrupted her, her eyes becoming much sharper. “I know he’s having a hard time, and I know this family is having a hard time. But Shuangshuang, he shouldn’t… he shouldn’t have conspired with your brother and sister to target your sister Zhang Yan.”

Having lived together for so many years, how could she not know what that family was thinking?

They simply took advantage of Zhang Yan's weak nature and blood relation, wanting to force her to "take over" the situation naturally.

In this way, they can save face and save face.

But for her as a mother, this was absolutely unacceptable.

Once a crack has formed, it is very difficult to repair.

This so-called "home" will probably only end up with divorce in the end.

However, that's a story for later. Right now, she must first get better.

Once I recover, I'll find a stable job.

Only in this way will she have the confidence and ability to bring Shuangshuang by her side.

At that time, the two daughters will be able to accompany and support each other often.

Zhang Yan, who has been lonely for too long, will finally have another family member who truly cares for her.

Of course, there's also... the relationship between Zhang Yan and Tang Song.

After observing for just a few hours, she has already discerned a great deal.

The daughter is already deeply involved, but she is also insecure and introverted, while that young man is so outstanding and exceptional. Zhang Yan is destined to hesitate and back down when she gets along with Tang Song.

Such a relationship is a bomb that may explode someday in the future.

Having suffered heartbreak and spent half her life struggling through two failed marriages, Zhou Hui knew all too well the power of this bomb.

Given Zhang Yan's personality, she simply couldn't handle it.

Either don't start! Or... go all the way down this path!
She had to help her daughter!
……

in the corridor.

Tang Song held Zhang Yan, who was exhausted from the intense emotional turmoil, and breathed in the faint scent of shampoo from her hair.

He felt a unique sense of satisfaction at that moment, which made his heart beat faster and faster.

She was very light, her body as thin as a feather, and you could feel the slenderness of her bones even through her clothes.

She lay completely on top of him, her burning cheeks pressed against his chest.

Zhang Yan remained motionless, her eyes wide with a dazed look, completely enveloped by the clean and warm aura emanating from him.

My mind is filled with the face that had just come close, and that kiss that was still wet with moisture.

A thought, wild and uncontrollable, kept replaying in her mind.

Tang Song kissed me… Tang Song kissed me…

For her, Tang Song was a secret she had kept buried in her heart for more than ten years, and also a white moonlight that brought her warmth and strength on countless lonely nights.

Originally, the dreamlike reunion of the past two days had already put her emotions in a state of high excitement.

This sudden kiss instantly shattered all her defenses.

A surge of intense heat suddenly erupted from my heart, rushing to every part of my body.

My cheeks and the base of my ears felt like they were on fire, burning intensely hot.

She felt dizzy and thought she might faint at any moment.

This hug lasted a long time.

It took long enough to soothe the anxieties she had carried for the past decade.

Finally, footsteps and voices came from somewhere.

She seemed to wake from a dream, and struggled slightly.

Tang Song gently released her, but still held her arm loosely, afraid that she might lose her balance again.

"How was it, Zhang Yan?" He looked down at her, his voice tinged with amusement. "Did you feel the power I lent you?"

"I...you..." Zhang Yan's flustered gaze fell on the ground, not daring to meet his eyes, and finally she only nodded almost imperceptibly.

My mind was still reeling from the extreme shock I had just experienced.

Tang Song looked at her and then started talking about how to take care of Ju Zi.

Zhang Yan's emotions calmed down slightly when cats were mentioned.

After a while.

Tang Song asked in a casual tone, "I heard from Lulu that your current company, 'Shucheng Technology,' seems to be having some problems lately? Are the employees all preparing to switch jobs?"

Upon hearing the word "work," Zhang Yan's body tensed up instinctively.

She stammered, "Um...yes, yes."

She paused for a moment, as if gathering immense courage, and added, "I will gradually... pay you back the expenses for my mother's illness."

She had been holding these words in her heart for a long time, and although saying them in front of him might sound like a childish joke, she still wanted to say them.

It's probably for that tiny bit of "self-esteem" and "inferiority complex" in their hearts.

Upon hearing her words, Tang Song raised his eyebrows but did not reply immediately.

With his current emotional intelligence and experience, he certainly knows what Zhang Yan is thinking.

He has already given her too much help. If he continues to add to her support without reservation, Zhang Yan, given her personality, will definitely find it hard to accept, and it might even become an unbearable burden.

He had to use a more tactful approach that would be more acceptable to her.

Seeing his silent expression, Zhang Yan's heart jumped, fearing that he would misunderstand.

"I didn't mean anything by it, I just... I just didn't want to... didn't want to... after all, it's my mother who's sick... I..."

She didn't know what to say, and her face turned red with frustration.

"I know what you mean." Tang Song gently patted her head, interrupting her rambling. "Then you can work and pay it back slowly. But with so much money, you'll definitely need a stable and promising job to pay it off."

Zhang Yan paused, her lips trembling as she murmured, "I will try my best."

"You should know that Lulu went for an interview today, right? It was with Nebula International Group. She passed the second round of interviews." Tang Song continued, "Nebula is undergoing strategic expansion. The Guangzhou branch will be deeply integrated with AI marketing, which has a very promising future. They are also hiring a lot, so this is a very good opportunity."

"Yes, I heard it from Lulu." Zhang Yan pursed her lips, looked up at him, and said seriously, "I... I'll be sending out resumes and giving it a try. But my mom can't be left here without someone, so it might be a while."

She knew that she probably wouldn't even pass the resume screening.

She came from the education and training industry and missed the golden age of new media development. Facing such a large company, she had no competitive advantage whatsoever.

However, Tang Song's kiss just now really seemed to have planted a seed in her heart.

Perhaps in the future, she really can "transform".

"Would you like me to recommend you? I have a very good relationship with a senior executive at Nebula International Group," Tang Song said, extending an olive branch at the opportune moment.

Zhang Yan paused for a moment, then immediately shook her head and said, "No need, really no need!"

She understood that, given Tang Song's demonstrated abilities and power, his "recommendation" was far more than just a recommendation.

They might even offer her a very high salary.

But instinctively she didn't want to owe him anything more.

Although she never dared to compare herself to Liu Qingning, she still needed his help even to find a job.

Then I really am terrible.

The last vestige of her "self-respect" led her to make the most direct refusal.

Seeing her like that, Tang Song moved closer to her, his hot breath blowing on her forehead.

Their gazes met in the air.

"Ah—" Zhang Yan exclaimed softly, her almond-shaped eyes trembling violently.

Looking into her panicked eyes, Tang Song suddenly said, "Zhang Yan, you are very special to me. Being able to help you makes me very happy and gives me a sense of satisfaction. Please consider my suggestion carefully, okay?"

These words, which carried the implication of a "confession," instantly struck Zhang Yan's most vulnerable spot.

Her heart raced again, and she almost forgot to breathe.

Special... I am special...

Seeing that she was about to faint, Tang Song had no choice but to keep a safe distance from her again.

"Auntie has several tests to do this afternoon, which will be tiring. You should go to your ward and rest. I'm going out to take care of some work."

Zhang Yan gave a blank "hmm" and followed behind Tang Song.

He walked towards the ward. As soon as he opened the door, Zhou Hui and Chen Shuangshuang's eyes immediately fell on him.

Tang Songchao and the others smiled and said, "Auntie, Shuangshuang, I have some urgent business to attend to at my company, so I'll be leaving now. Please call me anytime if anything happens here."

Zhou Hui quickly propped herself up and sat up. "Tang Song, thank you so much today... I don't even know what to say..."

"Auntie, please don't be so polite. Good health is the most important thing."

After exchanging a few brief pleasantries, Tang Song glanced at Zhang Yan again before turning and leaving.

Once his figure had completely disappeared at the end of the corridor, Zhang Yan deflated like a punctured balloon and sat down in front of her mother's bedside.

Her cheeks were still flushed with an unnatural redness, and her mind was racing with chaotic thoughts.

Zhou Hui sighed as she looked at her daughter's absent-minded appearance.

She asked softly, "Ayan, how did you and...Tang Song meet?"

Zhang Yan snapped back to reality, her gaze falling on her fingers. After a long while, she answered in an almost inaudible voice, "...a classmate from junior high."

Upon hearing this incredible answer, Zhou Hui's cloudy eyes shone with an unusually bright light!

The biggest weight in my heart has been lifted off my shoulders.

A gentle smile immediately spread across her face, and she began to talk to her daughter about the past of Jing County in a reminiscent tone.

Although the sudden illness brought the mother and daughter closer emotionally, it was a significant change in their relationship.

But the estrangement created by more than a decade of separation still exists.

Zhou Hui knew that many things couldn't be said too hastily; she needed to first break down her daughter's defenses.

……

It's about two o'clock in the afternoon.

Nebula International Group, Guangzhou Branch.

"Boom boom boom——"

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" A slightly languid yet authoritative female voice came from inside the office.

Tang Song pushed open the door and immediately saw the figure sitting in the large office chair.

Outside the window is the bustling skyline of Zhujiang New Town.

Wen Ruan wore a dark gray silk shirt and matching trousers, which accentuated her stunningly voluptuous figure.

She sat gracefully behind the desk, legs crossed, her posture composed.

She possesses both the confidence and elegance unique to working women, and a touch of natural charm.

Very charming.

Upon seeing Tang Song, Wen Ruo lightly kicked the desk with her soft foot, slid back a bit, and looked at him with a teasing expression, "Oh, isn't this our big boss who suddenly 'vanished'? You're back?"

The original agenda was to discuss the due diligence details of "Smart Chain Future" together, but during the break, Tang Song simply disappeared.

When asked what he was going to do, his answer was ambiguous.

It's obvious there's something fishy going on.

Tang Song smiled, walked behind Wen Ruan, and naturally placed his hands on her tense shoulders, kneading them with moderate force.

"You've worked hard, my dear Ruan Ruan."

"Hmm~"

Wenruan immediately let out a comfortable groan, her tense back instantly relaxing as she lazily leaned back in her chair.

Close your eyes and fully enjoy this unexpected service.

"Why are you suddenly being so attentive?" She didn't even open her eyes, but a teasing smile played on her lips. "Could it be that you want something from me?"

"Hehe, you're my girlfriend, isn't it only right that I massage you?" Tang Song's voice was deep and gentle.

As he spoke, his hand traced her slender neck, subtly slipping under the collar of her shirt and slowly moving downwards.

"Ah!" Wen Ruan exclaimed softly, but did not stop his actions. Instead, she slightly raised her large E cup.

Tang and Song's hands were truly exceptional.

Its joints are distinct, its body long and strong, and it exudes a kind of addictive warmth.

Even though she's not a hand fetishist, she loves them terribly.

After a while.

Tang Song withdrew his hand with satisfaction, picked up his older sister from the chair, sat down himself, and then placed her steadily on his lap.

His fingertips traced lightly across her smooth, delicate skin, and he kissed her cheek.

She said softly, "Ruan Ruan, let me tell you a story."

"Oh?" The soft, watery peach blossom eyes blinked. "What story?"

"This story begins in 07..."

Wen Ruan was stunned for a moment. Why did this sentence sound so familiar?

Oh, right!

A few months ago, when Liu Qingning first added her as a friend, she said she wanted to tell her the story of her childhood sweetheart Tang Song.

The opening remarks are exactly the same!
Goodness, no wonder she's the real white moonlight, the telepathy and tacit understanding between them is simply amazing.

"In Dongzhang Village, Jing County, there is a little girl..."

However, as the story of the Tang and Song dynasties slowly unfolded, she was completely captivated.

Her charming face constantly shifted in expression.

……

The rest area outside the special needs ward at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center.

"So now we're just waiting for the specific treatment plan to come out, and then we'll start using that...cartetracycline?"

Lulu's face still showed lingering shock.

Zhang Yan nodded slightly. "Yes, Director He said that we need to do some more gene matching and comprehensive assessment of physical condition, which will take about a week."

"Mr. Tang is so generous! He's like a god to me!" Lulu exclaimed. "I heard that the VIP wards at this hospital are so popular that ordinary people can't even get a chance to get in! Now that so many top experts are consulting with us, Auntie will definitely be alright this time!"

She was eager to get over there as soon as she finished her interview with Nebula International Group.

However, since Tang and Song had already passed away, she didn't bother them for the time being. She went back to the company first, took care of her work, and then rushed over without stopping.

After listening to Zhang Yan recount Tang and Song's series of swift and decisive actions.

Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, could finally be put at ease.

"Zhang Yan!" Lulu leaned closer, finally unable to hold back, her eyes burning with gossip. "Tell me honestly, what's your relationship with Tang Song? You can't... really be boyfriend and girlfriend, can you?"

"Ah!" Zhang Yan's face turned red instantly, and she shook her head vigorously, saying, "No, no, no, it's just... just... a friend."

"I know they're friends, so... are they friends in a flirtatious stage? Otherwise, he wouldn't have helped you like this; he must have feelings for you!"

"No, no..." Zhang Yan stammered, her mind filled with the kiss and hug in the corridor earlier.

She was never good at lying, and for a moment she didn't know how to explain.

When Lulu saw her like this, she immediately understood seven or eight parts of the situation.

After a few playful jokes, she lowered her voice excitedly, "I ran into Tang Song when I went for an interview at Nebula International Group! You have no idea how coincidental it was! I had just finished my second interview and walked out of the conference room when I bumped into him! He was surrounded by all the top leaders of our group's headquarters! That guy, with just a casual remark from him, my interview was practically guaranteed!"

She described the dramatic scene at the Nebula Corporation headquarters with great enthusiasm, her words filled with admiration and gratitude for Tang and Song.

Of course, she also hoped that this method could make her good friend a little happier.

The pressure of her mother's cancer diagnosis was unimaginable for Zhang Yan, who was already introverted and sensitive.

Hearing Lulu's words, Zhang Yan was stunned. "Tang Song... is a leader of the Nebula International Group?"

"No." Lulu shook her head, then added mysteriously, "After I received the offer, I specifically asked the HR lady who contacted me about it indirectly."

She said that President Tang is not a senior executive of Nebula, but has a very deep cooperative relationship with our group!
Moreover, our group's director, Mr. Wen, is a good friend of Tang Song!

As she spoke, Lulu's eyes lit up: "You didn't see that Chairman Wen! My goodness, her figure, her aura, her looks, it's incredible! She's the kind of real female elite you only see in TV dramas! A real big shot!"

Zhang Yan listened silently, her lips pressed even tighter.

My mind started wandering uncontrollably.

Is the friend from Xingyun International Group that Tang Song mentioned earlier the same Mr. Wen?
That's true. Someone as outstanding as him must have many impressive friends around him.

As Lulu spoke, she excitedly pulled out her phone.

He held the screen up to her face. "Look, look, this is my offer! I have to say, big companies are really awesome! The base salary is 1 yuan, plus full social insurance and housing fund contributions! Fully paid! Plus all sorts of other benefits and performance bonuses! Before long, I'll be able to take out a loan to buy a house in my hometown, using the housing fund loan, and the interest rate will be low!"

"Congratulations, Lulu." Zhang Yan looked at her friend's genuinely bright smile and felt happy for her too.

Lulu excitedly hugged Zhang Yan's arm, "Zhang Yan, you should come to Nebula International too! With Tang Song's connection, it's a million times better than that crappy Shucheng Technology! If you come, we can even be colleagues!"

Hearing her words, Zhang Yan bit her lip, "I...I'll think about it some more..."

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she asked in a low voice, "That Chairman Wen, can I find her information online?"

"Of course!" Lulu immediately perked up. "I checked, and they're actually listed on the official website. They're a board member of Nebula International Group, a real bigwig!"

As Lulu spoke, she skillfully scrolled through her phone.

Soon, I clicked on a news report.

"Look, this is it, a financial interview from a while ago."

Zhang Yan took the phone.

On the screen, a beautiful and high-quality commercial portrait caught her eye.

The woman in the photo is confident, elegant, and charming.

Her eyes seemed to pierce through the screen, carrying an innate and powerful aura.

An indescribable sense of inferiority surged into Zhang Yan's heart once again.

It turns out that the people around him are all such radiant individuals.

This Chairman Wen is truly outstanding.

She silently scrolled through the screen, unconsciously browsing the interview about corporate strategy and market layout.

Then, at the end of the article, a related link marked in blue caught her attention.

Nebula International Group announced a deep strategic partnership with Qingning Technology to jointly participate in the cutting-edge AR project "Xuanji Light Realm"...

Qingning Technology…

Zhang Yan's heart skipped a beat when she saw the words "lime".

I clicked on it almost as if possessed.

The page immediately redirected to an in-depth report on the "Xuanji Light Realm" project.

Lulu exclaimed excitedly from the side, "Wow, this news just came out a couple of days ago! It's amazing! Our company has actually partnered with Qingning Technology! That's one of the top AI companies! Awesome!"

Although she just received the offer, she already considers herself a complete part of Nebula International.

"That's really impressive," Zhang Yan remarked, continuing to flip through the news article.

suddenly!

A name she knew so well, so deeply ingrained in her bones, suddenly appeared in her eyes without warning.

[...Liu Qingning, head of Qingmi AI, a business unit under Qingning Technology, and also the person in charge of software application-level coordination for this project.]

Zhang Yan felt as if the whole world had suddenly lost its sound, and her breathing became rapid and numb.

Lulu's chattering exclamations in my ears turned into a distant buzzing sound.

The soft, warm lighting in the special needs ward's rest area seemed to have lost its warmth.

willow. green. lemon.
