Chapter 653 Hot Spring It Is!
Yan Province Government Guesthouse, Xiyuan Hotel.

In the private lounge.

The air was filled with a faint aroma of tea and the distinctive smell of paper documents.

I could hear the "beep beep" sound of the call being quickly disconnected from the receiver.

Tang Song couldn't help but smile.

"Playing the boyfriend?"

This energetic junior schoolmate is really interesting.

In fact, ever since Lingling started calling herself his "cyber girlfriend" on Xiaohongshu, the two have often joked about being "boyfriend and girlfriend" in their chats.

At first, Tang Song treated the other party as an online friend and cyber strategist.

Later, we spent more and more time together in real life, moving, eating out, karaoke, cycling, hot pot...

A subtle, ambiguous relationship developed between the two.

Tang Song had a strong liking for her, not only because of physical attraction, but also because of their compatible personalities.

He was fully aware of Lingling's little schemes, but he never pointed them out.

After all, he's hardly a good man.

However, since the other party had taken the initiative to invite him to "play the role," he naturally wouldn't refuse.

Moreover, Lingling was indeed a major contributor to his growth plan.

It is only right to fulfill her wish.

Thinking of this, Tang Song raised his phone screen and his gaze fell on the Weibo post.

Looking at Su Yu's dashing and aloof figure in the photo, a big smile appeared on his face.

She truly lives up to her reputation as a queen of transformation; every appearance she makes brings a different kind of amazement.

I admired Su Yu's beautiful photos for a while.

Tang Song casually gave it a thumbs up.

Return to the main screen.

The hashtag #SuYuWindbreakerStyle# has surged to the top of the trending list, indicating its high popularity.

This should mean the [Business Opportunity Card] has taken effect.

It is foreseeable that Songmei Apparel will usher in another peak of development.

I chatted with Gao Mengting and others in the work group for a while.

"Boom boom boom——"

A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Yuyan, dressed in a business suit, walked in, holding several documents in her hand.

With delicate, light makeup on her face, her eyes were clear and focused, exuding a sharp and intellectual air, making her the epitome of a perfect urban woman.

"President Tang." Shen Yuyan walked to Tang Song's side, opened the folder and placed it beside him, reporting in a low voice, "I just confirmed with Director Li's secretary that the morning's agenda remains unchanged, mainly focusing on preliminary discussions of the framework agreement for the [Industrial Ecosystem Fund]. Representatives from the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and Yan Province Bank will be present..."

Tang Song leaned back on the sofa, but his gaze involuntarily swept over her face.

In my mind, I uncontrollably recalled the "drunk and languid" school beauty, Shen, from the Lanfeng International Apartment.

I had a strange feeling in my heart.

Shen Yuyan is indeed a very capable woman.

She has both a sense of humor and work skills, and can seamlessly switch between different roles.

She always manages to arouse his desires at just the right moment.

"...These are the core topics of the morning meeting and the parts that we need to focus on."

Shen Yuyan's voice was gentle yet professional as she succinctly summarized the morning meeting minutes and the key points of the afternoon agenda.

"well-done."

Tang Song nodded slightly and closed the folder.

Shen Yuyan did not leave immediately.

As if suddenly remembering something, she said in a seemingly casual tone:
"By the way, Mr. Tang, the Municipal Financial Office organized a 'Bank-Enterprise Matchmaking Luncheon' at the Xiyuan Hotel this noon. It's not a very important occasion; it's mainly for local financial institutions and high-quality enterprises in Yancheng to connect and promote exchanges. Director Li's secretary just asked me if you would like to attend? Or, if it's inconvenient for you, I can go on your behalf?"

After speaking, she leaned forward slightly, her snow-white cleavage barely concealed beneath her undershirt.

A seductive perfume scent followed.

Their eyes met, but Tang Song shook his head: "Since it's not an important occasion, I won't go, and you don't need to go either."

Shen Yuyan's smile froze for a moment.

Actually, she was the one who took the initiative to suggest this "bank-enterprise matchmaking luncheon".

The reason is that I saw the guest list in advance.

Some of her "old acquaintances" will be present at this luncheon.

She vividly remembers those people she had humbly visited back then, only to be met with ridicule and sarcasm.

She longed to stand before them in her current identity and feel their fear.

Experience the thrill of revenge and let your mind be at peace.

She never expected Tang Song to refuse so decisively, leaving all her little schemes in vain.

"What's wrong? You seem unhappy?" A deep and magnetic voice suddenly rang out.

"No, Mr. Tang!" she quickly composed herself. "I was just thinking about the upcoming meeting..."

At this moment.

A slender hand suddenly reached out and firmly grasped her chin, lifting her face up.

Shen Yuyan gave a low "humph" and was forced to meet his gaze.

Tang Song's eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see through her thoughts.

An invisible sense of oppression washed over me.

Shen Yuyan's body trembled slightly, and a clear sense of panic surfaced in her eyes. "Mr. Tang... Mr. Tang, you..."

Tang Song's lips slowly curled up. "Shirley, you're a smart person. But I don't like people who have too many hidden agendas."

Shen Yuyan's face turned pale, and she quickly said, "I'm sorry... President Tang, I will be more careful in the future."

Tang Song didn't speak, but looked into her eyes as the hand that was holding her chin slowly moved downwards.

His slender fingers slid across her graceful neck, then continued downwards, disappearing into her tight-fitting undershirt.

Shen Yuyan's body tensed instantly, her breathing became erratic, and a blush quickly rose on her fair cheeks.

"Mr. Tang..."

Just as she was deeply moved, Tang Song suddenly withdrew his hand.

He stood up and looked down at her.

"Since you want to go, then go ahead, and while you're at it, see if there are any suitable early-stage projects to invest in."

Shen Yuyan swallowed hard and nodded in response, "Okay...President Tang."

"Let's go to the conference room."

Shen Yuyan bit her lip, picked up the folder, and followed Tang Song with her head down.

It's around 11am.

The meeting has officially ended.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Li Xindong and the others, Tang Song boarded the Rolls-Royce Phantom amidst the crowd.

Shen Yuyan stood at the entrance of the Xiyuan Hotel, watching the car disappear into the traffic, and let out a long sigh.

Begin to reflect on your own behavior.

Emotional entanglements and playful scheming can be interesting, and Tang and Song dynasties did not reject them; in fact, they might even enjoy them.

But to use this kind of cleverness at work, attempting to manipulate and guide him...

She really was... incredibly stupid.

Actually, if she had directly and honestly expressed her thoughts, given his perspective, she might have received more support.

She subconsciously regarded him as a powerful figure she needed to look up to, to speculate about, and to use every means to please.

Instead, they took the wrong path.

Fortunately, although Tang and Song reprimanded and warned her, they also allowed her to be "willful".

This also means that she held a certain weight in Tang Song's heart.

Having figured this out, the confusion and unease in Shen Yuyan's eyes gradually faded.

Instead, there is an unprecedented clarity and determination.

Next came her moment of glory.

Today, Rongliu Capital enjoys a great reputation worldwide and has reached a strategic cooperation agreement with the Yan Province government.

As Tang Song's assistant, she also established herself at Rongliu Capital.
After tidying her wind-blown hair, Shen Yuyan turned around and walked back to the Xiyuan Hotel with confident and elegant steps.

...

Staff from the Municipal Financial Services Office immediately came to greet us warmly.

"President Shen, you're back. Secretary Zhang specifically instructed that a seat at the head table of the luncheon be reserved for you. There are still twenty minutes before it officially starts, so let me take you to the VIP room to rest for a while."

"Okay, trouble."

Shen Yuyan nodded slightly and, led by the staff, took the private elevator directly to the fourth floor.

We entered that solemn and dignified lounge.

There were already quite a few people in the hall.

With the personal accompaniment and introduction of the leaders of the Financial Affairs Office, Shen Yuyan's arrival and her identity instantly aroused a strong reaction.

"Mr. Shen, I am Wang Weiying, Vice President of Xusheng Industrial..."

"Mr. Shen, I've long admired Rongliu Capital. Our company is an agency..."

Shen Yuyan moved through the crowd with ease, a confident smile on her face.

The atmosphere was very harmonious.

More than ten minutes later.

There was another noise at the door, and a staff member from the Financial Affairs Office whispered, "Representatives from Tengfu Investment Holdings have arrived."

Shen Yuyan paused, slowly turned around, and looked towards the door.

Several middle-aged men and women in suits walked in.

Her gaze turned cold as it swept over one of the middle-aged men in a silver-gray suit.

Cai Zihe, General Manager of the Equity Investment Department at Tengfu Investment Holdings. (Chapter 543)
He once used his position as an investor to verbally harass her when she came seeking funding, and then demanded "exchanges."

After being rejected, he publicly displayed her photos at a drinking party and humiliated her by labeling her as a "resource-rich beauty founder".

No one could understand how she felt when she heard these accounts, tinged with sympathy and amusement, from other people.

It was precisely because she saw Cai Zihe's name on today's guest list that she took the initiative to attend this luncheon.

Now that she has gained power, it is time for her enemies to groan and tremble.

She is not some saint who repays evil with kindness.

Every single one of them must be thoroughly investigated and punished.

Seemingly noticing her gaze, Cai Zihe also looked over.

I could see her figure clearly.

Cai Zihe was slightly taken aback, then revealed a meaningful smile, and even gave her a light nod.

Shen Yuyan did not flinch, her gaze bright and sharp.

She walked towards him on her own initiative.

She watched as that figure, even more beautiful and sexy than it had been six months ago, swayed gracefully towards her.

A hint of aggression flashed in Cai Zihe's eyes.

He raised his hand and said with a smile, "Haha, Yu Yan, I really didn't expect to run into you here. It's been a long time."

Shen Yuyan stopped, not looking at the outstretched hand, but at the others beside him. The staff of the Financial Office immediately understood.

He stepped forward enthusiastically and introduced, "Mr. Shen, let me introduce you. This is Zhao Ming, a director of Tengfu Investment Holdings. Mr. Zhao, this is Ms. Shen Yuyan, the special assistant to the chairman of Rongliu Capital. She is here today on behalf of Rongliu Capital to attend our luncheon."

Upon hearing the words "Rongliu Capital," the expressions of Zhao Ming and the others instantly changed.

Zhao Ming quickly stepped forward, his face beaming with a solemn and enthusiastic smile: "So it's President Shen! I've heard so much about you!"

Others also gathered around, respectfully handing over their business cards.

What a joke!
In today's Yan Province financial circles, who doesn't know Rongliu Capital?!

That was a behemoth holding billions of dollars and backed by Don King and Kate Trust.

Most importantly, this top private equity firm's only WFOE (Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise) in mainland China is located in Yancheng.

And it is said that they are about to reach a series of amazing strategic investment agreements with the provincial and municipal governments.

As local financial professionals, they naturally wanted to get involved and share in the profits.

And the "Chairman's Special Assistant" in front of us is undoubtedly the person who can influence this part of the decision-making.

During the pleasantries, Shen Yuyan wore a polite smile, but her gaze kept glancing unintentionally at Cai Zihe, who had been squeezed to the edge of the crowd and whose face was turning pale and then red.

Enjoying the other person's panic and confusion, like a cat playing with a mouse.

Noticing Shen Yuyan's gaze, she recalled how Cai Zihe had taken the initiative to greet her earlier.

Zhao Ming asked with a smile, "Zihe, do you know President Shen?"

After regaining his senses, Cai Zihe opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

A chill ran from the soles of his feet straight up to his head, making his whole body go numb.

He just couldn't understand the founder of that small housekeeping company that he had once so easily manipulated.

How did he suddenly become a senior executive at Rongliu Capital?!
Although Tengfu Investment Holdings is considered a large investment company locally, its size of over one billion RMB is insignificant compared to a "capital giant" like Rongliu Capital.

He himself was merely a mid-to-high-level manager at Tengfu.

The positions of the two have reversed.

The other party's status and position far surpassed his.

If she were willing to use even a little bit of her connections, it would be enough to make it impossible for him to survive in this industry.

The people around weren't fools either.

Just by looking at his expression, one could roughly guess what was going on.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the VIP room became subtly awkward.

Zhao Ming's smile froze, his eyes darting back and forth between the two men.

Shen Yuyan still wore a fresh and sweet smile: "We do know each other. When I was starting my own business, I had the opportunity to interact with President Cai a few times. Speaking of which, President Cai taught me a lot."

She paused, then turned her gaze to Cai Zihe, who was already drenched in cold sweat, and said sincerely, "At the time, Director Cai told me that for grassroots entrepreneurs like us without any background, it would take some 'special sincerity' to get investment from a top-tier institution like [Tengfu Investment]. To be honest, I didn't quite understand the deeper meaning at the time, but I gradually figured it out later."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room froze.

Everyone present was shrewd, and they could all sense the hostility in her words.

Logically speaking, in such a setting, even if there are any grudges, one would not openly confront the other.

Moreover, this incident has ruined Cai Zihe's reputation in the industry, and the damage will likely spread rapidly.
But Shen Yuyan is representing Rongliu Capital at this moment, and she certainly has the qualifications and the confidence to do so.

Zhao Ming's smile froze for a moment. He glanced at Cai Zihe and said, "President Shen, isn't there some misunderstanding here...?"

"Well, I just saw Mr. Cai and it came to mind. Mr. Zhao, please don't mind, I didn't mean anything by it. After all, the investment circle is very stressful, and I can understand that Mr. Cai has his own unique 'screening criteria'."

However… at Rongliu Capital, we tend to place more emphasis on the intrinsic value of a project. Perhaps this is the difference in corporate culture between us and Tengfu Investment.

The luncheon was about to begin, so Chairman Zhao took his leave and went inside first.

After speaking, Shen Yuyan turned gracefully and walked towards the banquet hall surrounded by a crowd of admirers.

Before leaving the VIP lounge, she let out a long sigh of relief.

All the grievances and humiliations were transformed into the exhilarating pleasure of revenge at this moment.

A bright and sharp light shone in her eyes.

This is the taste of power.

And this is just the beginning.

……

3 pm.

Yunxi Building, Songmei Apparel.

An unprecedentedly enthusiastic atmosphere permeated the entire floor.

The sounds of conversation, phone calls, and keyboard typing filled the air; everyone seemed to be on a high.

"It's already gone viral on Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book), with several fashion bloggers with millions of followers analyzing our windbreaker!"

"Mr. Gao! I have urgently contacted several top fashion review accounts on Douyin, and they are all willing to do a video for us for free."

"Our customer service hotline is ringing off the hook, and our inbox is flooded with private messages asking when the pre-sale link will be available."

...

At noon, Su Yu herself reposted the street photography photos on her Weibo account.

This also propelled the hashtag #SuYuSameStyleWindbreaker# to the top of the trending topics on various platforms.

HEYI STUDIO, a brand that was born just over a month ago, has entered the mainstream fashion media's field of vision with an almost aggressive attitude.

It became a highly sought-after "darling".

The entire company is engaged in a high-speed marketing war surrounding this "unexpected windfall."

The intense meetings and work coordination have finally come to an end.

Back at her workstation, Yao Lingling still felt like she was walking on clouds, and she felt a little lightheaded.

She picked up her phone; there were WeChat messages, text messages, and missed calls—a whole bunch of them.

As the independent designer of this windbreaker.

She has also shared the creation process of her works on her social media platforms such as WeChat Moments.

Her friends, family, and former colleagues all know that this is her work.

Su Yu's stunning appearance has propelled this previously unknown "invisible" designer into the limelight.

From now on, when I'm out and about or attending industry events, I can proudly say my name.

I quickly replied to the message to calm my excited emotions.

Yao Lingling rested her chin on her hand and began to think about something else that was more important to her.

I had a one-day date with my senior's "limited-time boyfriend" over the weekend.

Just thinking about it made her cheeks flush.

From childhood to adulthood, I've always had a carefree and easygoing personality.

Those boys who initially had feelings for her all ended up becoming her "good buddies."

She has never been in a relationship, nor has she ever developed any special feelings for any other boy.

So I felt both excited and nervous about this date.

She took out her notebook and began to make plans seriously, just like she was working on a design draft.

We'll definitely have to eat out and watch a movie, go shopping, share a cup of milk tea, play the claw machine together, and take pictures together...

At this moment.

"Buzz buzz buzz—" The phone screen lit up.

It was her high school classmate and best friend, Chen Wan. (Chapter 404)
Yao Lingling immediately answered the phone and said in a low voice, "Hello? Wanwan."

"Hehe, it's just so-so, third in the country. If you praise me any more, I'll get arrogant."

After exchanging a few jokes and banter, a sudden idea flashed in Yao Lingling's mind.

"By the way, Wanwan, didn't I mention wanting to book a hot spring resort with you for next week? Could you... perhaps change it to this Saturday? Do you still have any rooms with private hot springs?"

"Okay, that's good. Could you reserve a room for me first? It's not a must... I don't necessarily need it... Thank you... Bye-bye."

hang up the phone.

Yao Lingling's ample buttocks began to wriggle uncontrollably on the chair.

The blush on her face grew stronger.

【Yunxi Valley Hot Spring Resort】opened last winter and is only a few kilometers away from her home.

Chen Wan works at this resort and often posts photos and videos on her WeChat Moments.

It was a high-end resort built halfway up the mountain.

It not only has dozens of highly private open-air hot spring pools scattered among the bamboo forest, but also all kinds of entertainment facilities such as high-end buffet, private cinema, game room, and KTV.

Moreover, this season is perfect for soaking in hot springs.

That's why she wanted to go and experience it with Qiuqiu, and also go home for a while.

I just suddenly thought that maybe I could experience it with my senior, that would be perfect.

Then, the two of them will soak in the same pool.

All around was a tranquil bamboo forest, above was a dazzling starry sky, in my ears was the gentle sound of flowing water, and before me... was my senior, shrouded in mist...

"Bang bang bang-"

Yao Lingling's heart was beating faster and faster.

She licked her slightly dry lips, but a sense of hesitation crept into her heart.

After all... after all, it was just a simple 'experience couple' trip, and they directly agreed to stay at a hotel together and soak in a private hot spring.

Isn't this a bit too unreserved?

Just as she was struggling with this internal conflict.

"Buzz buzz buzz—" The phone suddenly vibrated.

A WeChat message popped up.

[Su Yu's April: "Good afternoon, Miss Lingling~ I've kept our promise and shared the photos of how our [Heyi] windbreaker looks on my social media."]

Yao Lingling paused for a moment, then immediately switched back to professional customer service mode.

He quickly typed a reply: "Okay, could you please send me the link? I'll have my operations team review the content, and if there are no problems, we can arrange a traffic boost for you right away."

Immediately afterwards, the other party sent a Weibo link.

Yao Lingling clicked on it casually, and the next second, her eye twitched involuntarily.

The link led directly to Su Yu's official Weibo account, where she reposted the latest street photography post.

Before she could even complain, another message came from the other party.

[Su Yu's April: How do I look? Do I look good in this? By the way, what did he say in April? What was his reaction when he saw the photos?]

Yao Lingling: "..."

Good grief! You're really getting into this act with me, aren't you!

She resisted the urge to complain and replied very cooperatively, "Super beautiful! It's the most perfect 'buyer's show'. Of course, he loved it in April. After seeing the photos, he praised it endlessly and even told me that this was the best-looking person he had ever seen wearing this windbreaker."

These words satisfied the other person's vanity while subtly emphasizing the close relationship between himself and "April".

This dealt a heavy blow to this cyber rival.

[Su Yu's April: "(^▽^) That's great! As long as he likes it, that's all that matters. When I have the chance, I'll definitely wear it for him in person. And I'll tell him I love him."]

Yao Lingling: =_=|||
How shameless!

If I had even a fraction of your shamelessness and initiative, I might have already slept with my senior!

It's amazing how skilled a complete stranger, this "cyber rival," is at fighting.

Yao Lingling's competitive spirit was instantly ignited.

What's there to be afraid of?! A hot spring is fine!

My senior has such a great physique; just thinking about seeing it in person makes my nose bleed.

It's just taking a bath! Who hasn't worn a bikini before?
