Chapter 625 The Fourth Partner

9 a.m. New York time.

Manhattan on a weekend morning exudes a rare sense of languidness.

Park Avenue, penthouse duplex apartment.

Outside the window, there are rows of skyscrapers and the orderly green blocks of Central Park.

In a separate office.

Secretary Kim sat upright behind her desk.

Wearing a comfortable shirt, her brown hair was neatly pinned up, revealing her smooth, full forehead and delicate, swan-like neck.

Her exquisitely beautiful face was devoid of any superfluous expression.

In front of her were three monitors side by side.

The document contains crude oil hedging solutions from the commodities team, ESG holdings analysis from the European carbon credit fund Zenith Capital, and more.

“Sarah.” Without looking up, her gaze remained focused on the screen as she calmly spoke, “Send the revised version of the crude oil plan to the Shenzhen office. Also, notify the compliance team in London that I need to see the final approved version of the ESG report before noon New York time.”

A blonde female assistant sitting not far behind her immediately started operating the machine.

at this time.

"Dong dong dong -" there was a knock on the door.

The door was pushed open gently.

Lin Tiantian walked in quickly. "Director Jin, it's Assistant Shangguan on the phone."

Secretary Kim paused slightly, looked up, and reached out her hand.

Her posture remained elegant and calm, but a hint of unease flickered in her clear and bright eyes.

He took the phone, brought it to his ear, and said, "Shangguan."

"Director Jin, I have already left Lanfeng International Hotel. Just now, President Tang gave me a clear answer." Shangguan Qiuyue's voice was filled with excitement.

Secretary Kim's fingers tightened involuntarily, and her breathing became erratic.

She already guessed the answer, but still kept her voice steady as she asked, "What did he say?"

"Mr. Tang asked me to tell you—see you in New York next month."

“…I understand.” Secretary Kim’s voice was very soft, as if she were just confirming something trivial. “Thank you for your hard work, Shangguan. You did a great job.”

hang up the phone.

Secretary Kim's taut, swan-like back, finally began to relax.

She leaned back in the soft chair and slowly closed her eyes.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

The sound of my heartbeat echoed clearly in my ears, one beat after another.

Sarah and Lin Tiantian kept their heads slightly lowered, not disturbing them.

After a long while, Secretary Kim opened her eyes again.

Those usually cold eyes now held a smile as bright as the stars.

"That's enough for today's work, Tiantian. Please reserve a scenic spot at Jean-Georges for lunch. I'd like a white truffle set meal."

Her voice returned to its usual calm, but with a hint of lightness that was barely perceptible.

"Also, please book me an appointment at The Row's Atelier on Madison Avenue. I need a new suit to be custom-made for next month's shareholders' meeting."

Lin Tiantian was slightly taken aback, but immediately replied, "Okay, Director Jin, I'll arrange it right away."

Secretary Kim nodded slightly, walked out of the office, and briskly entered the walk-in closet of the master bedroom.

She walked to the dressing table and gently pulled open the top drawer.

Inside, a simple silver photo frame lay quietly.

She picked up the picture frame and gently, repeatedly, stroked the cool glass surface with her fingertips.

The photo shows her and Tang Song in New York in the winter of 2020, celebrating the establishment of the Tang Jin family office's New York headquarters.

Snowflakes were falling from the gray sky, with the iconic Charging Bull statue of Wall Street in the distance.

At that time, he finally left the cage of Yancheng and joined Meigou Technology in the capital, while she personally served as the chairman.

Under her secret arrangements, Liu Qingning was busy with her entrepreneurial endeavors on the university campus, and Su Yu almost completely "disappeared" from her world due to various "coincidences".

They embarked on a period of close and inseparable "struggle".

Day and night, working together; New York, the Don King family office, London, Singapore, Tokyo…

Together, they created one wealth legend after another.

It was also the most beautiful period of her past.

Secretary Kim's fingertips lingered on Tang Song's profile, and the emotions in her eyes began to melt.

"Are you finally coming back?"

She closed her eyes and spoke in an extremely calm yet possessive tone.

Looking at the photo frame, he murmured, "The time has come."

"Hopefully, it will still snow in New York on the 14th of next month."

……

Beicheng Garden residential community.

The Maybach S-Class came to a slow and steady stop in front of Building 4.

"Goodbye, Miss Xu."

"Goodbye."

Slightly tipsy, Xu Qing walked into the elevator carrying her bag.

The thrilling scenes from today's birthday party are still replaying in her mind at high speed.

This put her in a state of extreme excitement, like she was "eating melons to her heart's content."

She finally met Anne Kate, the "blonde bombshell" who had been described by her best friend as someone who had a deep understanding of capital.

Indeed, it was imposing and had a strong sense of oppression.

Hmph! It's just that it's Xiaojing's birthday celebration, so I shouldn't steal the spotlight.

Otherwise, I, Miss Xu Qing, would have to stand up for you, Yan Yan, no matter what!
After all, she had heard Shen Yuyan say that she had been "bullied" quite a bit by that foreign woman when they were in Shanghai.

"Click——"

The door lock was opened.

Xu Qing hummed a song as she leisurely changed into her slippers in the entryway.

As I entered the living room, I immediately saw that familiar figure on the sofa.

A fitted black and white striped U-neck T-shirt and high-waisted skinny jeans.

It perfectly accentuated her curvaceous and sexy figure.

She exudes a unique charm of relaxed, homey living.

"Yan, Yan Yan... why did you suddenly come back?"

Xu Qing's heart jumped into her throat, and she became extremely tense.

The images of Tang and Song emperors in my best friend's room the other night, and today's dream, uncontrollably flooded my mind.

Shen Yuyan stood up, looking amused, and said, "Hey, silly Qing, are you really stupid? You should have guessed it when you came in and saw the light was on."

"I..." Xu Qing subconsciously avoided her best friend's scrutinizing eyes and explained in a way that seemed to say "I don't know what I'm talking about": "Well, um... I saw that the sheets and duvet cover on your bed were a bit dirty the other day, so I washed them for you and made sure they were clean."

"Something's wrong! You're acting very strange today!" Shen Yuyan stepped forward and looked her up and down. "Tell me! Did you do something to betray me?"

She didn't object when called "Big Silly Qing".

She even washed my bed sheets and duvet covers for the first time ever.

Xu Qing shook her head hurriedly, saying in a panic, "How could that be?! I didn't!"

Shen Yuyan raised an eyebrow, said nothing more, and instead asked, "You just got back from a birthday party? How was it? Did you get anything?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing immediately changed the subject, saying, "Let me tell you, tonight was absolutely amazing..."

As she spoke, she opened the refrigerator, took out fruit, drinks, and some snacks.

She pulled her best friend to the sofa and began to describe it vividly.

She is a novelist herself, and she is skilled at embellishment and description.

In her dramatic narrative, one breathtaking twist after another unfolds, and Tang and Song are portrayed as unfathomable, godlike figures who can stir up the winds and clouds with a wave of their hand.

Shen Yuyan listened quietly, her expression constantly changing.

Since Tang Song left Guangzhou, she has been busy with the financing of Zhilian Future, and now the deal has been basically finalized.

The purpose of my return this time is to report the progress to Tang Song and, incidentally, to prepare for the move.

She naturally knew about Tang Song's relationship with those other important figures, but this was the first time she had learned that he also had such a deep personal relationship with Wu Kezhi, the founder of Jingwu Capital!
Moreover... so many important figures actually showed up at Xiaojing's ordinary birthday party.

Even Ouyang Xian Yue personally delivered the gift.

What shocked her even more was...

She had always known that Tang Song was generous, but she never expected that he would casually give away shares worth more than 100 million yuan.

A complex emotion, indescribable and mixed with jealousy and inexplicable excitement, welled up in her heart.

too exaggerated.

If this gift were given to Xu Qing or her, they would have transcended social classes.

After all, this is Jinxiu Commerce!

With Smile Capital backing them up.

After a long while, Xu Qing slowly stopped.

I glanced at my best friend and saw that she was no longer focused on washing the sheets, so I finally felt relieved.

Then, somewhat smugly, he said, "By the way, Yan Yan, I've found someone to sublet to. We can get the remaining rent and deposit now."

"Oh? Who is it?"

"You don't know her? She's a junior from school I met at the Yuhua Business Building. Her name is Yao Lingling."

"Okay, you can decide this yourself." Shen Yuyan suddenly looked into her eyes, "Qingqing."

"what happened?"

"Don't you think the Tang and Song dynasties were a bit too unfair?"

Xu Qing was silent for a moment, then smacked her lips.

Somewhat dismissively, he said, "It's alright. Tang Song is very good to me. He bought me a car and gave me so many random things. Besides, he said before that if I wanted, he would even give me ordinary people's shares."

Looking at her best friend's silly, "give a little sunshine and you'll be all smiles" attitude, Shen Yuyan couldn't help but sigh helplessly in her heart.

ε=(ο｀*))) Sigh——

She knew Xu Qing too well.

This girl doesn't have any real ambition at all.

Although he talks about making money every day, in essence, he just wants to live a wealthy life where he doesn't have to worry about making a living and can write whatever he wants.

Because she knew about Tian Jing and Tang Song's relationship but still chose to become the "third party," she felt ashamed and fearful every time she faced Tian Jing.

She will not have any negative emotions because of Tang Song's kindness to Tian Jing.

But this time is different.

What Tang Song gave to Tian Jing was not just shares in a company, but also his top-tier network of connections and social circle recognition!

These are the real, invaluable "injustices" that cannot be measured in money.

It seems I have to help this good-for-nothing best friend.

It is also necessary to make Tang Song feel more "guilt" towards her, so that he will take the initiative to give more "compensation".

As her thoughts raced, Shen Yuyan said directly:
"Qingqing, after we finish moving, invite Tang Song to stay at Lanfeng International Apartment for a couple of days."

You could tell him you just moved to a new place and it feels too empty, and you'd like him to come over and keep you company.

"This..." Xu Qing's face flushed red instantly, her eyes darting around like a primary school student caught doing something wrong.

She really wanted to live with Tang Song.

However, Tang Song's abilities in that area were simply too formidable, and each time he "bullied" her until she couldn't recover for several days.

Therefore, she rarely takes the initiative to invite Tang Song to stay.

As if reading her mind, Shen Yuyan suddenly leaned close to Xu Qing's ear, his warm breath caressing her sensitive earlobe.

In a voice only the two of them could hear, she whispered, "Don't be afraid, when the time comes... your sister will help you, and she will definitely not let him 'bully' you too badly." "Ah!" Xu Qing exclaimed, as if she had been burned, "I'm not afraid! Besides, you can't be relied on at all. Before, when I asked you to save me, you didn't even dare to show your face."

“This time is different.” Shen Yuyan chuckled. “I’m his special assistant now.”

Xu Qing pouted, "So what if I'm an assistant?"

Shen Yuyan blinked and suddenly kissed her best friend on the cheek.

Xu Qing pushed her away impatiently, "What are you doing?"

Shen Yuyan said with an ambiguous expression, "A special assistant... of course, is someone who proactively steps forward to help the boss release his excess energy when he's 'having an excess of energy'..."

Her words became increasingly explicit and excessive.

Xu Qing's mouth opened, her face turning so red it looked like it was about to bleed. "Get lost, you're joking around again!"

Immediately afterwards, the two started playfully fighting.

For a time, there was endless spring.

……

The night is dark.

The hustle and bustle of Yancheng gradually subsided, and only the CBD buildings in the core area remained brightly lit outside the window.

The cold autumn wind howled wildly between the tall buildings.

The heavy velvet curtains in front of the presidential suite's floor-to-ceiling windows fluttered in the wind, striking the cold glass.

In the room, the main light was completely off, with only the ambient light in the corner still on.

Light and shadow intertwine on the carpet, the walls, and the messy bed, creating a jumbled and dreamlike effect.

"Waaah... Lord Tang Song... I'm so sorry..."

Xiao Jing slid down the French windows.

Tears blurred her makeup, and her long, black hair, damp with sweat, clung to her pale skin.

That once pristine and flawless haute couture wedding dress is now a mess.

Torn lace and silk clung to her body, scattered and broken.

Instead of looking disheveled, it added a breathtakingly beautiful sense of brokenness.

Tang Song carried the pitiful Xiao Jing to the bed.

Looking at the fair-skinned, rich, and beautiful woman with unfocused, dazed eyes and a flushed face.

I poured Xiaojing a glass of warm water and made her drink it, then covered her with a blanket.

Tang Song got out of bed, took a quick shower in the bathroom, and then went back to bed.

Holding the beautiful, rich woman in his arms, feeling her smooth, fair skin, he savored the wonderful moment.

A feeling I couldn't quite describe welled up inside me.

Xiao Jing left a very deep impression on him tonight.

Despite being unable to bear it any longer, they remained fearless and even pathologically intoxicated by it.

Coupled with that sweet and innocent face, it's simply...

Tang Song let out a long breath, gently stroking Xiao Jing's soft hair in his arms, soothing her body that was still trembling slightly from extreme pleasure.

Open the system interface.

Enter the [Companion] module.

[List of available partners:]

[Xu Qing] [Progress: Couple, In-depth fluid exchange] [Buffs: Inspiration, Improved Acting Skills, Expanded Thinking, Abundant Energy]

[Gao Mengting] [Progress: Couple, In-depth Fluid Exchange] [Buffs: Emotional Influence, Smooth Skin, Body Repair, Focus Enhancement]

[Tian Jing] [Progress: Couple, In-depth Fluid Exchange] [Buffs: Kidney Enhancement, Fair Skin, Excellent Hair Quality, Body Optimization]

------

In fact, as soon as he entered the birthday banquet, under the blessing of [Reflection of Tang and Song], he had already completed the "sand table deduction" of this multiple choice and came up with the optimal answer in an instant.

Xiaojing is undoubtedly the "optimal solution for this version".

First of all, her "initial panel" is extremely good.

As the daughter of a top tycoon, she was exposed to the workings of capital and power from a young age and has a natural intuition about them.

She is far more intelligent than she appears on the surface. This intelligence can be seen from her active purchase of high-quality properties for rent, her operation of the Tian's Barbecue chain, and her subtle planning of the entire birthday banquet.

Her starting point was higher than Zhao Yaqian, Lin Muxue, and even Wen Ruan.

Secondly, she doesn't have strong personal ambitions, yet she has great potential, and her "development path" is clear and efficient.

My greatest desire is to live a happy and interesting life.

There was also an almost pathological, unwavering attachment and "loyalty" to him.

This means that as long as Tang Song points her in the right direction, the systematic training will proceed very simply and quickly.

One of his core objectives is to gain a boost in charm by quickly cultivating "qualified" partners.

From this perspective, Xiaojing is the most efficient experience package at this stage.

He only needs to provide the simplest guidance.

Xiao Jing will then transform into the shape he desires.

In this respect, Xie Shuyu, who also started from a high point, was far inferior.

This female CEO is a real workaholic. Even though she has developed deep feelings for him, she still puts her work first.

As for Liu Qingning, she is an academic high-achiever with extremely strong self-motivation.

Even if the Tang and Song dynasties did not deliberately cultivate it.

She was on the right track and was being watched closely by Secretary Kim and others.

It's better to add it later when more slots are unlocked, since it becomes increasingly difficult to increase charm as you progress.

Select [Tian Jing] and click the [Bind] button next to it.

A prominent system notification popped up.

------

Developing a partner can consume significant financial, material, and emotional resources. A good partner can bring you… There is a limit to the number of partners you can bind, so please choose carefully.

------

Tang Song glanced at Xiao Jing beside him again.

Click [Confirm].

The entire light screen interface instantly burst forth with dense heart-shaped bubbles, roses, and a meteor shower, creating an extremely romantic and beautiful scene.

"Ding! You have successfully bound [Tian Jing] as your partner!"

"Information for [Partner - Tian Jing] has been collected; training plan tasks are being generated..."

Then the light screen began to rotate.

On November 12, 2023, you gained your fourth partner. She had meticulously crafted a grand stage play for you, attempting to control the entire situation, but ultimately, in this even grander drama led by you, she willingly became your 'believer'.

[You have received a heartfelt blessing from your partner, Tian Jing, and you have gained the buff "Fair Skin Tone"]

Seeing the name of the buff, Tang Song was slightly disappointed; what he wanted most was definitely "Kidney Enhancement".

However, this buff is not bad.

I got "Smooth Skin" from the beautician and then got "Snow White Skin" from a rich and beautiful woman, which can be considered a combination skill.

Top-quality skin texture should also significantly increase one's attractiveness score.

I checked the time; it had just passed midnight.

Tang Song held the sleeping Xiao Jing in his arms, wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, and soon fell into a deep sleep himself.

Outside the window, the cold autumn wind was still howling.

The bedroom was warm and cozy, quiet and peaceful.

……

November 13, 2023, Monday, cloudy, -2~8℃.

6 o'clock in the morning.

As Tang and Song awoke from their deep sleep.

A crisp system notification suddenly rang in my ears:

"Ding! The training plan for [Companion - Tian Jing] has been generated. Please go to the [Companion] module to view it."

In the darkness, Tang Song quickly opened his eyes.

Open the system interface and go to the [Companion] module.

[Tian Jing] A dazzling golden halo was flowing around the exquisite illustration of her wearing a wedding dress.

Click on the card to view details.

The interface switched, and two sections with different colors appeared on the left and right.

Partner: Tian Jing (23 years old)

[Character: Tang Yi Precision - HRBD]

Height: 168 cm, Weight: 48 kg

[Constitution: 64, Endurance: 67, Agility: 74, Comprehension: 82] (Note: Scoring standards differ for men and women)

[Growth Progress: 45%]

----------

On the right is a multiple-choice question:
Please select your partner's development mode.

[A: Simplified Mode (Personal Partner), dedicated to creating a high-quality personal partner (emotional comfort and physical satisfaction), cultivating obedience, developing senses, optimizing physique and appearance, systematically refining skills, ... requires a small amount of resources and a large amount of emotional care]

【B: Standard Mode (Manager): Based on the simplified mode, through Jingyi Asset Management, participate in the management of some high-end property resources under the Tangjin Family Office (including private clubs, high-end clubs, star-rated hotels, etc.), and moderately participate in planning and operation... This requires a significant amount of resources and emotional support.】

[C: Hard Mode (Agent): Building upon the Easy Mode, this mode involves joining Dejurenhe and becoming a global special project partner. Through family trusts and "Jingyi Asset Management," this mode represents a portion of the high-end property resources under the Tangjin family office, achieving strategic synergy and a closed loop between the two sectors... This requires significant financial resources and a small amount of emotional support.]

[D: Custom Mode, where players can create their own customized lifecycles, including (canary, personal assistant, administrative assistant, elite executive, etc.)]

[Note 1: The first three options are the best training strategies based on Tian Jing's own abilities, upbringing, cognitive level, and temperament.]

……

In the darkness, Tang Song looked at the three options that appeared on the screen, a knowing look of expectation flashing in his deep eyes.

Just as he had predicted in his "reflection" state.

In essence, Xiaojing is indeed a "salted fish," even saltier than Zhao Yaqian.

Her life's pursuit might simply be to enjoy a carefree, affluent life and play some perverse little games with the people she likes.

But she is also very perceptive and intelligent.

Therefore, the training path planned for her by the system, even the most difficult "hard mode", is essentially just "proxy".

Instead of being a gentle and soft-spoken "media queen" who needs to personally go to the front lines to fight.

She doesn't need to create value; she only needs to manage and distribute the value that Tang and Song have arranged for her.

In the game "Male God Growth Plan", in order to complete some dungeon tasks and increase his influence, he acquired and integrated a large number of top-level real estate assets around the world.

A private club located next to Central Park in New York, a ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurant) hidden deep in Gion, Kyoto, a gentlemen's club in London's Mayfair district, a super five-star hotel in Singapore...

Currently, they are all affiliated with various trust and SPV institutions and are indirectly controlled by the Tang Jin family office.

These high-end social spaces are the venues used by various roles within the system to receive important political and business figures, top celebrities, and to host high-net-worth events.

It is also a direct reflection of the soft power of the entire Tang-Kinshasa system.

After all, being able to host the most important guests on their own turf in any major city around the world ensures absolute privacy and demonstrates strength.

Zheng Qiudong's Dejurenhe is essentially a "human resources network" that serves the "Tangjin system".

As Dejurenhe expands globally, it will inevitably need to reach a large number of customers from diverse cultural backgrounds, making these "physical locations" increasingly important.

Conversely, Dejurenhe's global customer network can bring a continuous stream of top-tier members, rigorously selected, and cutting-edge information to these private, membership-based venues.

This will expand the influence of the entire Tang-Jin system globally.

These two are indeed a perfect match.

Moreover, with Zheng Qiudong, an ambitious "career leader," leading the charge, Xiao Jing's management of these high-end assets, which are already on track, is much easier and more comfortable.

Correspondingly, the system's training program tasks will also be simpler.

It better suits her "laid-back" personality.
