Chapter 643 Liu Qingning and Shen Yuyan
Before Tang Maolin could recover from his immense shock...

Liu Zengyin, the principal of No. 1 Middle School, had already approached Tang Song with a nervous expression.

He extended his hand and said, "Hello, Tang Song and Liu Qingning, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Tang Song politely shook hands with him: "Hello, Principal Liu."

“Principal Liu.” Liu Qingning smiled sweetly as well.

Liu Zengyin turned to the side, his tone almost excited, and introduced them to the two: "Let me introduce you. This is Zhang Chengming, the secretary of the county party committee of Jing County."

Secretary Zhang, this is Tang Song, an outstanding alumnus of our No. 1 High School. This is Liu Qingning, our county's top scorer in the college entrance examination that year.

Upon hearing Liu Zengyin's introduction, Tang Jianying and Xu Feng were momentarily stunned, their faces filled with bewilderment and helplessness.

What's going on? Why... have county officials come in person?
Li Qiaoling on the other side was already dumbfounded.

Although she doesn't work within the system, she naturally pays attention to things because of Tang Maolin.

He had also been influenced by the main leaders of the county.

Staring blankly at this unbelievable scene, I felt as if my brain had stopped working.

"Hello, Secretary Zhang." Tang Song smiled and extended his hand.

Zhang Chengming immediately stepped forward, grasped Tang Song's hands firmly with both of them, and shook them affectionately.

His voice was loud and infectious: "Hello, Chairman Tang. I've heard so much about Rongliu Capital! I never imagined that the person in charge of this capital behemoth would be a young talent from our Jingxian County. Truly, heroes emerge from among the young. Our Jingxian County has beautiful mountains and rivers; it really nurtures people!"

Zhang Chengming's face wore a smile full of appreciation and enthusiasm, a smile that is unique to elders when they meet outstanding juniors.

Tang Song replied with a smile, "Secretary Zhang, you flatter me. I am a native of Jingxian County, and I am truly happy to see my hometown changing so much."

“You talented and visionary young people are the greatest hope for the future of our hometown!” Zhang Chengming patted his hand hard. “I heard that you and Qingning are going back to your alma mater to participate in the school’s anniversary celebration. As elders, we should come and welcome you in person, both out of courtesy and reason.”

As he spoke, he introduced the people behind him to Tang Song one by one.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries.

Tang Maolin gradually came to his senses.

He looked at his nephew, who was affectionately called "Chairman Tang" by Secretary Zhang and surrounded by a group of county leaders like a star being fawned over...

His throat bobbed involuntarily, and his face flushed with extreme excitement.

He didn't know anything about "Rongliu Capital" or "capital behemoths," but having been in the system for many years, he could tell just from the titles and the almost humble attitude of the county leaders.

My nephew is something else.

He had only approached the person with a "let's give it a try" attitude, and shamelessly went to ask for help, but he never expected that the "god" he was asking for help would be so powerful!
The pleasantries ended.

Tang Song introduced the people behind him: "Secretary Zhang, this is my father, Tang Jianying. This is my mother, Xu Feng."

"Hello."

"Hello, Secretary Zhang." Xu Feng and Tang Jianying greeted him quickly.

Even now, they are still somewhat confused about the situation.

I thought it was Principal Liu from No. 1 Middle School who was coming, but a bunch of county leaders showed up instead.

Although they do not work within the system, they have all heard of the local officials.

"This is my uncle, Tang Maolin, and my aunt, Li Qiaoling..."

Upon seeing Tang Song introduce himself, Tang Maolin trembled and immediately realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Secretary Zhang, hello. I am Tang Maolin. I had the pleasure of listening to your report at the county's 'Optimizing the Business Environment' thematic meeting last month. I currently work in the Planning Section of the County Housing and Construction Bureau."

Upon hearing "Housing and Urban Construction Bureau," Zhang Chengming's eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled and said, "Oh, hello, Maolin. The Planning Section is very important. The blueprint for our county's future urban construction will all depend on you frontline cadres to draw it stroke by stroke."

These words, delivered with high emotional intelligence, not only highlighted the importance of his department but also gave it full recognition.

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 live up to the expectations of the County Committee."

Immediately, his gaze fell upon Tang Song, his heart surging with emotion.

Originally, he was just visiting someone's place and nervously made his "request".

They even thought that even if Tang and Song were willing to help, they would have to inquire everywhere and ask people to pass on the message.

But the scene before him made him feel as if he were in a dream.

Tang Song didn't need to say much; a casual introduction here would be enough to make an impression on the secretary.

And this sense of being "remembered" is often more effective than the personal relationships that have been painstakingly cultivated over ten or eight years.

He swallowed hard, feeling a burning sensation in his chest.

Unbeknownst to me, I had suddenly gained a powerful backer.

……

A high-standard reception room temporarily set up in the Jinan Municipal Government Building.

Shen Yuyan sat upright on the sofa to one side, with a steaming cup of tea in front of her.

She wore a polite and composed smile as she listened attentively to the introduction given by the mayor's secretary across from her.

Upon arriving in Jinan at noon, she began formal communication with the municipal government office in her capacity as the “Special Assistant to the Chairman of Rongliu Capital.”

During that half-day, she received treatment that could be described as "super VIP".

The city not only arranged a private suite in the guesthouse and a top-level reception lunch for her, but also had Mayor's Secretary Wang Tao personally accompany her throughout the entire process.

From the detailed schedule of tomorrow's school anniversary ceremony and the list of accompanying city leaders to the timeline of each step, the other party communicated with her in detail.

He repeatedly sought her opinion, adopting a very humble attitude.

This feeling of being recognized and respected by the center of power kept her in a state of "semi-orgasm" at all times.

He was in high spirits and his performance became increasingly outstanding.

She felt that she was born to roam in such places.

It's approaching evening.

Shen Yuyan went to a private lounge and tried to calm her turbulent thoughts.

My mind was racing, reviewing all the information I'd received that afternoon.

Unlike Lin Muxue, who was obsessed with superficial pomp and circumstance, she was more interested in exploring the most fundamental power logic behind the pomp and circumstance.

The reason why the Jinan municipal government attaches such extraordinary importance to itself and Tang and Song is not simply because of the "hundred billion US dollars" gimmick.

In what seemed like a casual chat with Wang Tao's secretary, she had already pieced together the whole picture thanks to her keen sense of smell and ability to capture information.

Jinan, and indeed the entire Yan Province, is facing the immense growing pains of industrial upgrading.

Overcapacity in traditional heavy industries and the slow pace of emerging industries have led to chronic financial strain on local governments and sluggish economic growth.

Tang Song and the capital empire behind him happen to hold a "trump card" that the mayor of Jinan cannot refuse.

That is the upcoming [Xuanji Light Realm] project.

This massive project, jointly promoted by Tangyi Precision and Qingning Technology and representing the "next-generation human-computer interaction interface," is currently selecting core hardware manufacturers and supply chain partners nationwide.

Rongliu Capital happens to be one of the lead investors in the most important Series A funding round for this project.

Coincidentally, the entire Yan Province, thanks to Tangyi Precision's early industrial layout in the surrounding areas, possesses the complete industrial foundation and supporting industrial chain to accommodate this top-level production capacity.

If we can use the Tang and Song dynasty line to keep this top-tier production capacity, which is crucial to the technological boom of the next decade, in the local area, it would be a tremendous achievement worthy of being recorded in history for the upgrading of the entire Yan province's manufacturing industry, the formation of high-tech industrial clusters, and even for the hundreds of billions of yuan in tax revenue and employment opportunities.

Moreover, Rongliu Capital's multi-billion dollar fund of funds is also very large, and this is real money.

If even a small portion of these funds could be established in Jinan through regional sub-funds, it would instantly revitalize the entire local venture capital ecosystem.

Having figured all this out, Shen Yuyan let out a long breath, her eyes gleaming with an unprecedented, burning light.

My current position is not just that of a simple "assistant," but the most crucial "hub" connecting the three major power sectors of top-tier capital, cutting-edge technology, and local government.

She loved this feeling and was completely addicted to it.

Even just imagining the possible future scenes makes me feel waves of heat deep inside my body.

She crossed her long, slender legs, which were encased in stockings.

After reorganizing his thoughts, he finally took out his phone and quickly dialed Tang Song's number.

"Hello, Mr. Tang, I have completed all the procedures with the municipal government. Tomorrow, Mayor Li will personally lead a team to arrive an hour before the school anniversary ceremony begins for a brief private meeting with you."

She paused, then added, "As for the school anniversary celebration itself, Mayor Li will only make a symbolic appearance. After all, given his status, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to personally stand by for too long at the anniversary celebration of a county-level middle school."

"Yes, Shirley, you've worked hard and were very efficient."

"It's no trouble at all, I'm just serving President Tang." Shen Yuyan paused, her tone becoming ambiguous. "However, reports via phone and email always feel a bit lacking in warmth."

I'm worried that some important details might not have been conveyed properly...

I will set off from Jinan now to Jingxian to find you and report to you in person.

By the way, could you also check whether my work today was up to standard?

However, to her surprise, Tang Song did not joke with her as usual.

Instead, he spoke in an unusually serious and businesslike tone: "Okay. It's almost lunchtime, so come over here. We can have a meal together and finalize the details in person."

“…Okay, Mr. Tang.” Shen Yuyan’s eyes twitched, and a strong sense of frustration welled up inside her.

She originally thought that with Lin Muxue and Qingqing not around, her initiative to "travel thousands of miles" to his hometown was the perfect opportunity to get closer to him and break through the boundaries of ambiguity.

But what's going on now?

Why do I feel like I'm just a simple "tool"?
A feeling of uncertainty and anxiety welled up inside me.

That wretched, aloof Sigma man!
She's practically bewitched me with her cunning words!

After leaving the lounge, I bid farewell to the city government leaders.

Mayor's secretary Wang Tao personally escorted her downstairs and opened the door of the black Audi A6L with municipal license plates for her.

Shen Yuyan gracefully bent down and sat down, saying goodbye once again.

The car slowly started moving and smoothly merged into the city traffic as the city lights began to illuminate the night.

Shen Yuyan leaned back in the spacious back seat, watching the unfamiliar night view of Jinan rushing past the window, but her thoughts drifted to another place.

My hometown, Los Angeles.

That city, which was also a third-tier city, held all her youthful memories.

In the three years since graduating from university, driven by her ambition to live a life of not being content with mediocrity, she has only been able to rush back home for a few days each year during the Spring Festival.

Saying that I don't miss home or my parents is a lie.

Wait a little longer... wait a little longer...

Once she has firmly established herself at Rongliu Capital, and once her relationship with Tang Song can take that crucial step forward…

When that time comes, she will definitely return home in glory and triumph!
Furthermore, there are also companies like Win-Win Technology, Mingjian Capital, Ren Mingyuan, and Wang Yubo…

She won't let anyone go!

Ironically, ever since Rongliu Capital rose to prominence, that hypocrite Ren Mingyuan has said many sweet words to her in private, his words full of appeasement and flattery.

Unfortunately... if apologies were enough, what would be the point of having police?

Ha ha.

We must not let Win-Win Technology be completely crushed, nor let Ren Mingyuan and his group taste the despair of having nowhere to turn.

How could she possibly vent her anger so easily?

As night deepened, the car drove away from the city center of Jinan.

Shen Yuyan opened WeChat and left a message for Tang Song: "President Tang, I will arrive in Jing County in about twenty minutes."

After a while.

"Buzzing—"

[Tang and Song Dynasties: Hongyun Restaurant.map]

[Tang Song: "Just come here, I'll be right there."] After replying quickly, Shen Yuyan told the driver, a bright smile appearing on her face.

We're finally going to meet.

Tang Song, watch how I win you over tonight!
Around 6pm.

The black Audi A6L drove through the slightly narrow streets of the county town and slowly stopped in front of a detached house with warm yellow lights.

Shen Yuyan pushed open the car door and got out.

The cold air of early winter hit us.

She tightened her cashmere suit and walked gracefully into the rather elegant-looking restaurant.

The restaurant was filled with a warm and lively atmosphere.

Shen Yuyan's expectant gaze swept quickly across the hall.

With almost no pause, it precisely locked onto the figure in the corner by the window.

The restaurant's warm overhead lights cast a soft yet distinct shadow over his head, illuminating his deep-set features.

He wasn't wearing his usual imposing formal attire, but rather a casual mint green turtleneck cashmere sweater.

The simple outfit accentuates her perfect proportions of broad shoulders and narrow waist, as well as her healthy, fair complexion.

He was turned to the side, one hand casually resting on the windowsill, seemingly talking to someone, a pure and warm smile on his lips that she had never seen before.

Seemingly noticing her figure, Tang Song slowly turned his head.

His deep, clear eyes were filled with tenderness.

A strong, tingling electric current shot from her tailbone straight to the top of her head, making her legs uncontrollably go weak.

This was a Tang and Song dynasty she had never seen before.

She never imagined that she would see such a clean, warm, and comforting warmth in him.

Her heart began to race, Shen Yuyan pursed her lips, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Then, her expression froze.

My gaze shifted slightly to the left and I saw the lovely girl sitting opposite Tang Song.

She was wearing a women's turtleneck sweater similar to those worn by Tang and Song dynasty officials, and her long, black hair was neatly tied into a high ponytail.

Her ample, full breasts created a breathtaking curve.

A classic example of a youthful-looking woman with large breasts.

Eyes facing each other.

A smile appeared on the girl's face, and her eyes curved into two beautiful crescent moons.

Shen Yuyan felt a chill run down her spine from head to toe.

She originally thought that Tang Song had invited her to dinner at his hometown restaurant.

She even devised some clever little tips to subtly build rapport.

But I never expected that there were other people here.

Moreover, judging from the girl's attire and the atmosphere between her and Tang Song, there is no doubt that she is also his woman.

A completely new woman she had never heard of or seen before.

She finally understood that Tang Song's gentle expression just now wasn't meant for her at all.

A strong emotion, a mixture of jealousy and frustration, gripped her heart instantly.

However, this feeling only lasted for a few seconds.

Shen Yuyan forcibly suppressed all the turmoil in her heart and put on that impeccable smile again.

She walked over with elegant and composed steps.

"Good evening, Mr. Tang." Her voice was gentle and courteous. "I didn't realize you had guests. I hope I haven't disturbed you."

Before Tang Song could speak, the girl opposite him had already stood up.

She is not tall, but her proportions and temperament make her appear exceptionally upright.

"Hello, my name is Liu Qingning, and I'm Tang Song's girlfriend. You must be Assistant Shen? It's nice to meet you."

Shen Yuyan's eye twitched, but she maintained her smile.

She extended her hand and gently shook hands with the other person, saying in a soft voice, "Hello, Ms. Liu. I am Mr. Tang's special assistant, Shen Yuyan. You can just call me Yuyan."

"Yu Yan, sit down. Haven't eaten yet? Take a look at the menu and add whatever you want."

Liu Qingning greeted her warmly, her bright eyes scanning her up and down.

Shen Yuyan sat down next to her. "Thank you, but no need. I ate a lot at noon, so I'll just have a light dinner. I'm here mainly to report to President Tang."

"Don't rush into work, let's eat first."

"Yes, thank you, Miss Liu."

"No need to be so polite, just call me Lime."

“Um…” Shen Yuyan glanced at Tang Song diagonally opposite her and nodded gently, “Okay, thank you Qingning.”

The atmosphere at the meal was filled with a subtle tension.

Liu Qingning and Tang Song are like an ordinary couple in love, natural and intimate.

She would help Tang Song remove the bones from the fish and then put them in his bowl.

He would also help her peel shrimp shells and hand her tissues.

The two would occasionally exchange a smile and playfully tease each other over trivial matters.

The atmosphere between the couple, so full of life and warmth, was almost overflowing.

Tang Song was like a perfect boyfriend, full of patience and doting on his girlfriend.

Shen Yuyan's eyes turned green with envy, and she couldn't sit still.

Good heavens, they've called me here to be slaughtered like a dog!
It's pitiful that she came all this way, desperately wanting to perform, and had made ample preparations.

Halfway through the meal.

Liu Qingning stood up and said, "I'm going to the restroom."

Once she disappeared from sight, Tang Song turned to Shen Yuyan and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Shirley. I made you work overtime on the weekend and make this trip. I received your email; you did a great job."

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Tang."

Shen Yuyan looked at Tang Song's handsome face and bit her lip.

The sudden appearance of Liu Qingning gave her a completely different feeling.

She had never envied or been so jealous of women from the Tang and Song dynasties. She could sense that it was true love, and very pure.

A strong urge for adventure and a competitive spirit suddenly welled up inside me.

She glanced in the direction of the bathroom to make sure that Liu Qingning's figure had completely disappeared.

Then, without making a sound, she freed her foot, which was encased in black stockings, from her high heels.

The restaurant tables are covered with thick carpets, which can cover up all the noise.

"President Tang," she began her report in a low voice, leaning slightly forward, "regarding the arrangements for tomorrow's school anniversary celebration, I suggest..."

As she continued speaking, the warm foot under the table nimbly landed on Tang Song's calf.

Her toes, through the fabric of his trousers, tentatively glided lightly along the lines of his muscles.

Tang Song paused slightly and let out a soft breath.

Looking at the calm and professional Shen Yuyan across from him, he felt the subtle, almost imperceptible, teasing under the table.

A strange feeling welled up inside me.

To be honest, Shen, the school beauty, really knows how to have fun.

Their eyes met, and Shen Yuyan pursed her full lips, giving Tang Song a perfectly professional smile.

A moment later, when Liu Qingning's figure reappeared in sight.

Shen Yuyan gently withdrew her foot and continued reporting on her work, as if nothing had happened.

"Mayor Li requested a meeting with you, if I'm not mistaken, it's because of the [Xuanji Light Realm]..."

After she finished her work report.

Liu Qingning smiled and continued to show off her affection with Tang Song.

Shen Yuyan twisted her legs under the table, and the restless heart that had just been suppressed resurfaced.

This time, she directly stretched her foot out from under the tablecloth, right in front of Liu Qingning.

An indescribable feeling welled up inside me.

This... is probably what Qingqing was talking about, the kind of NTR pleasure?
It's so weird... but it feels so good...

Oh no! Could I have some kind of weird fetish like Xiaojing?
To distract herself from her increasingly dangerous, divergent thoughts, Shen Yuyan turned slightly to the side.

Smiling, he said to Liu Qingning, "Qingning, your name is really nice. It reminds me of a very popular, phenomenal company called 'Qingning Technology'."

Liu Qingning paused in her act of serving food to Tang Song, then winked playfully: "What a coincidence, I work at this company."

"Oh? What a coincidence?" Yu Yan asked in surprise, "What kind of work do you do inside?"

At this moment, she was extremely curious about Liu Qingning.

She wanted to know who this girl, who had suddenly appeared and could elicit such rare tenderness from Tang Song, was.

Liu Qingning glanced at Tang Song across from her, a strange smile curving her lips. "I am the head of Qingmi AI."

Shen Yuyan's smile froze instantly, and she took a deep breath, "This..."

She certainly knew what those words meant.

"Qingmi AI" is definitely the hottest app in the tech world this year. With over 100 million users in just a few months, it has firmly reached the threshold of becoming a unicorn.

She herself is a loyal user.

And Liu Qingning is actually the person in charge of this product?!

Looking at the girl opposite him, who had a youthful appearance and a gentle, refreshing demeanor.

Shen Yuyan's breathing became erratic, and her feet unconsciously dropped down from under the table.

Then, as if she had suddenly remembered something, her eyelids twitched wildly.

"I remember now." Shen Yuyan's voice was somewhat hoarse. "The [Xuanji Light Realm] project...you were also a participant? I think I saw your name in the news..."

She had seen the name "Liu Qingning" while organizing project materials these past two days.

They just couldn't connect the two.

Liu Qingning put down her chopsticks.

"It seems that, just as Tang Song said, Assistant Shen is really dedicated to her work. I just heard you mention that the Quancheng Municipal Government wants to locate the hardware manufacturing for [Xuanji Light Realm] in Yan Province? That just so happens that, if nothing unexpected happens, I will also be in charge of the [Xuanji Light Realm] project. And since you are the assistant to the chairman of Rongliu Capital, we may have a lot of contact in the future."

She paused, took out her phone, opened the WeChat QR code, and handed it to Shen Yuyan.

Looking at the sexy and beautiful assistant Shen next to him.

For the first time, a sharp glint appeared in those large, watery eyes. "Let's add each other on WeChat, Yu Yan."

In that instant, Shen Yuyan felt as if she were being crushed by an invisible mountain, making it difficult to even breathe.

【Qingmi AI】, 【Xuanji Light Realm】...

How is that possible? How old is she?!
