Full charm points, inherit game assets

Chapter 704 [Ambition and Submission], Dizziness
Thursday, August 7, 2023.

Six o'clock in the morning.

Outside the window, the night remained silent.

Tang Song slowly opened his eyes amidst an extremely warm and fragrant atmosphere.

The room was warm and cozy, with the underfloor heating providing just the right temperature.

He turned his head slightly and, in the dim light of the night lamp, looked at the unsuspecting older sister beside him.

She was clearly exhausted and was sleeping soundly.

Her long, dark brown, wavy hair, like seaweed, was spread out on the pure white pillow, with a few strands clinging to her full, moist lips.

The blanket barely covered her flat stomach, leaving her exaggerated breasts and pert, round peach-shaped buttocks completely exposed to the air.

Thinking back on what happened last night.

Tang Song couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.

It must be admitted that, with his help and the help of the system items, the older sister's body has become better and better.

All kinds of styles.

Like a top-quality red wine aged for many years, every drop exudes an intoxicating fragrance.

Add to that a gentle whisper, and it's pure bliss.

This delayed his biological clock by half an hour.

I got out of bed quietly, changed into my "Energetic Outfit" in the dressing room, and went to the private gym area on B1.

I set up my phone and made a video call to Liu Qingning.

The call was answered almost instantly, and Bai Yueguang's pure and lovely face appeared on the screen.

Good morning, Lime.

Good morning, it's a bit late today.

Liu Qingning smiled, then her clear eyes sparkled as she looked at the background behind him and asked directly, "Are you in Wenruan's villa?"

Tang Song's expression stiffened slightly, but he still nodded honestly: "Yes, Wen Ruan just came back from her business trip."

“Oh…” Liu Qingning drawled meaningfully, “No wonder you woke up late today. Be careful not to get drained.”

She made a complaint and then said nothing more.

He simply walked silently to the treadmill in the living room, set the program, and started running with his head down, completely focused.

Tang Song did something "wrong" last night after all.

He was "playing games" with three girlfriends in the same villa at the same time, and it wasn't a good time to provoke her any further.

I simply shared some interesting news I'd seen or jokes I'd heard in Chengdu recently, trying to ease the tension.

The two exercised together for more than ten minutes.

Tang Song smiled and said after seeing that Bai Yueguang's expression had calmed down, "By the way, baby, I have a surprise for you in a while."

"What surprise?"

"It's a secret for now; it wouldn't be as surprising if I told you."

"Tell me, let me guess."

"If you call me 'my dear husband,' I'll secretly tell you something."

"Hmph! Fine, don't tell me then!" Liu Qingning's cheeks flushed instantly, and she sped up on the treadmill.

Seeing her shy expression, Tang Song was in a good mood and continued to tease her with his words.

After flirting and teasing each other for a while, the atmosphere finally became warm and sweet again.

The workout is over, and the call ends.

Tang Song took a shower, changed into comfortable loungewear, and walked up the stairs.

As I approached the doorway to the living room on the first floor, I heard bursts of silly, self-talking laughter and lazy meows coming from inside.

"Oh my! Little Snowball! How come you're so soft and fluffy? Can I rub your little tummy?"

"Your eyes are blue! Like jewels! So beautiful!"

"Let me give you a kiss, just one, mua~mua~ don't run away..."

"Waaaaah, you're so aloof! Are you just like Xiao Songzi, a cocky and wicked guy?"

Tang Song couldn't help but chuckle softly. Last night, Qingqing, that clever little devil, must have had the most relaxed time.

Taking advantage of the crucial moment when he was punishing Xiaojing, the little maid grabbed her clothes and sneaked away, hiding in the guest room, which is why she is still so full of energy now.

He tiptoed into the living room and saw the lovely and heartwarming scene.

Xu Qing was wearing a soft, brand-new silk slip dress that she had prepared, sitting cross-legged on the huge beige sofa.

She was holding a fluffy Ragdoll cat in her arms.

Because she was so engrossed in "cuddling the cat," she didn't notice Tang Song quietly approaching from the side and behind.

Instead, it buried its face deeply in the Ragdoll cat's soft, fluffy belly, closed its eyes, and rubbed against it with a look of blissful contentment, letting out a satisfied sigh.

Just then, a pair of large hands, cool with the morning air, reached directly inside the loose neckline of the nightgown.

"what--"

Xu Qing froze and let out a scream.

The ragdoll cat in her arms was also frightened and let out a pitiful "meow," kicking its paws wildly as it broke free from her embrace.

It darted to the top of the cat tree in the distance with lightning speed, watching this side warily.

"Shh!" Tang Song quickly leaned close to her ear, his warm breath brushing against her sensitive earlobe, and chuckled, "If you shout again, Xiao Jing will be woken up and come out to play with us."

Xu Qing quickly covered her mouth with her small hands, her face flushed, and protested weakly, "What...what are you doing..."

Because the voice is so soft and has a vibrato, it can be said to be completely non-threatening.

"Let me give you a massage. Actually, I'm a professional massage master, and my techniques are excellent."

Xu Qing's face turned even redder, and she muttered softly, "I...I don't want to...it tickles!"

She tried to struggle, but Tang Song held her even tighter from behind, making it impossible for her to move. She could only whimper like a kitten.

The two played around on the sofa for a while.

Tang Song then released her rosy cheeks and pinched her pert little nose. "Alright, stop fooling around. Come with me to make breakfast, little maid."

"I'm not..." Xu Qing retorted subconsciously, but under Tang Song's ambiguous smile, her voice grew softer and softer. In the end, she reluctantly got off the sofa and followed him into the open kitchen.

Xiaojing and Wenruan were both exhausted last night, so they obviously need to sleep a little longer.

In the spacious and bright kitchen, the two began to make breakfast together.

Xu Qing wore an apron and was responsible for washing vegetables and cutting fruit, while Tang Song was responsible for frying eggs and heating milk.

As dawn broke, sunlight streamed through the kitchen window, filling the air with the aroma of food and a warm atmosphere between the two.

Although Xu Qing was still muttering complaints, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, and her movements became exceptionally serious.

They seemed to be thoroughly enjoying their time together.

Soon, four simple yet nutritious breakfasts were ready.

The two went to the restaurant and sat down.

Tang Song pulled Xu Qing onto his lap and sat her down, one arm around her slender waist, the other holding a sandwich.

He gently fed her a bite first, and then took a bite himself.

Breathing in her fresh scent and feeling her shapely, soft body, I felt exceptionally relaxed.

Xu Qing sat obediently on his lap, her cheeks burning from his sudden intimacy and tenderness, yet she was reluctant to leave.

She ate the food he handed her in small bites, her two legs, clad in white stockings, dangling under the table.

When Xiao Songzi isn't a pervert, he's actually quite nice.

Unfortunately, they were all corrupted by that pervert Xiaojing!
"Ding-dong—" A WeChat notification sound suddenly rang out.

The screen of Tang Song's phone, which was on the table, lit up.

Xu Qing, sitting in his lap, darted around with her dark eyes, stealing glances at him.

(￢＿￢)

Tang Song didn't try to hide it; he picked up his phone and unlocked the screen.

A message popped up.

[Shen Yuyan: "Morning, Boss~, it got colder in Rongcheng last night. We didn't turn on the air conditioning, and I was shivering this morning. I feel uncomfortable all over, but the thought of working for you today fills me with energy!"]

Seeing her best friend's sarcastic comment, filled with various emojis, Xu Qing couldn't help but twitch her eye.

That's some clever and cunning talk; he really knows how to please his boss!

While she was secretly observing how Tang Song would respond.

"Buzz buzz buzz—", the phone vibrated again.

[Shen Yuyan: Selfie.jpg]

In the photo, her best friend Shen Yuyan is wearing a tight-fitting short sports top and black yoga pants. In what looks like a high-end hotel suite, she strikes a pose that is both professional and sexy, perfectly showcasing her curvaceous figure.

Then, a third message arrived.

[Shen Yuyan: "Our company's benefits are really good; we even stay in executive suites when we're on business trips. It's just that the rooms are too big, and I always feel a little scared sleeping alone at night. If you were here too, Boss, we could share a room and save the company some budget. (#doge)"]

Xu Qing's face instantly tightened, and her cheeks puffed out.

(ω)！

What a scheming person! Why is she being so provocative so early in the morning?!

This is so embarrassing...

My best friend sent my boyfriend these flirtatious messages and suggestive photos, and I'm sitting on his lap right now... What should I do?! I need help urgently!!!

ε＝ε＝ε＝(#>д<)

Then, something even more devastating happened.

She saw that her dear boyfriend had actually clicked on the photo and slowly zoomed in with two fingers!
His best friend's firm C+ cup breasts and smooth waist-hip curves flowed slowly across the phone screen as his finger swiped...

Xu Qing's eyes widened instantly, and her breathing became rapid.

Chilling!
My boyfriend zoomed in on my best friend's suggestive selfie in front of me! What should I do?! I need help urgently!!!

Just then, her heart skipped a beat, and her mouth opened slightly.

She sensed Xiao Songzi's reaction!
Is there no justice left?! Is there no law left?!
Miss Xu Qing could no longer hold back! Overwhelmed by intense shame and pride, she shouted, "You—!"

Tang Song paused, looked up, and stared directly at her with his deep eyes: "What's wrong?"

Eye contact.

Xu Qing immediately cowered, shrinking back and her voice weakening further: "It's okay... I... I want to eat that fried egg..."

Tang Song smiled, picked up the fried egg from the plate, and held it to her lips. He then moved her to a more comfortable position.

Then he leaned close to her ear and said, "Qingqing, do you think your best friend has a crush on me?"

"I...how would I know...it shouldn't be...right?" Xu Qing lowered her eyes in a panic, her words somewhat incoherent. "She...she probably just made a joke..."

Seeing her reaction, Tang Song's smile deepened. "But she always sends me these weird messages, and I don't know how to reply. How about... we make a video call to her right now, you can talk to her and tell her not to do this again, okay?"

Xu Qing: (ΩДΩ)!!
"Ah?! No... I don't want to..."

Xu Qing almost jumped off his lap and waved her hands repeatedly.

"That's so embarrassing!"

She knew that Xinjiyan always said strange and shameless things to her.

But that was in their private conversation.

Confronting Tang and Song in front of each other?

How shameful!

Doesn't she want to lose face? !

Looking at her adorable appearance.

Tang Song patted her little bottom and sighed seriously, "Qingqing, since you won't help me, don't blame me if your best friend and I do something to betray you in the future."

Xu Qing was completely dumbfounded, feeling like her brain was about to crash.

What the hell? !
How come it sounds like it's my fault now?!

Tang Song blinked and replied to Shen Yuyan in front of her, "That's a great idea. We can try it out when we go on a business trip together later."

[Shen Yuyan: It's a promise.jpg (A cute emoji of a kitten making a pinky promise)]

Tang Song burst out laughing.

He was just about to continue teasing the little maid in his arms.

"Buzzing—"

My phone vibrated again.

[Shen Yuyan: "Sigh, it's a pity that you, Boss, weren't there to personally attend Tangyi Precision's summit in Shenzhen. As a mere assistant, facing such a top-level event all by myself, to be honest, I was a little nervous. If you could have been there to support me and give me courage, I definitely... I would have dared to do anything. (#hehe)"]

Upon seeing this message, which clearly carried a probing and coquettish tone...

A crisp system notification suddenly rang in Tang Song's ears:

"Ding! You have triggered the side quest [Ambition and Submission]. Please go to the quest center to check it out."

[Mission Content: Shen Yuyan, formerly a "test subject," is facing a major career turning point. In the past, she hid herself under the aura of her "special assistant" identity, wielding power while harboring reservations. Now, with the suspension of your personal investment business, the foundation of her livelihood is about to disappear, filling her heart with endless timidity, fear, and inferiority, tightly concealed beneath a mask of confidence. This time, she travels alone to the [Tangyi Precision] Shenzhen Summit to face the enemy who once humiliated her. She experiences unprecedented confusion and wavering regarding her future identity and value.]

Please grant her the new title of "Chief Ecosystem Officer of Xuanji Light World" so that she can make her official debut as an independent figure at the summit.

Her ambition, fear, pride, and dependence will all be fully activated, collide, and ultimately merge on this independent stage.

Please carefully observe her changes and growth afterward; this will become an important part of your "control" system and help you further enhance your deeper understanding of human nature.

[Task Reward: Agility +2]

[Note: Sometimes, letting go of the string allows the kite to fly higher. Of course, you must always hold the string.] ...

Looking at the long string of information about the mission on the screen, Tang Song's eyes gradually deepened, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

finally come!

Similarly, with the "Whispers of Humanity" quest, Xiaoxue has already triggered three rewarding side quests for him, and has also brought a valuable boost to his charm.

Meanwhile, Shen Yuyan remained completely silent, without making any move.

He originally thought that this scheming school beauty's temperament was much more resilient than that of the fake socialite, so her emotional fluctuations were not strong enough.

Now it seems... it was purely because the "pressure" I put on her wasn't enough!
It seems I'll have to go deeper into "PUA" tactics with her in the future.

Moreover, in the long run, the timing of this mission was quite timely.

Shen Yuyan is not actually suited for the field of pure financial investment.

During her time at Rongliu Capital, she primarily acted as a "lubricant" and "scout," assisting him with networking and due diligence in the early stages of projects.

The core aspects involving the construction of complex models and the design of financial transaction structures are still handled by professional investment teams.

Her strengths lie in her high emotional intelligence in social situations, her strong ability to integrate resources, and her keen insight into human nature.

The next strategic focus for Tang and Song, besides [Songmei Clothing], will be [Xuanji Light Realm].

On the Songmei Apparel side, there is partner Gao Mengting, as well as Lingling, Qiuqiu, and He Yiyi, a core team that has been "favored" by the system. Everything can be carried out step by step.

However, the situation is much more complicated on the other side of the [Xuanji Light Realm].

The project itself has extremely high technical barriers and a very long industrial chain.

What's even more problematic is that it also involves several deities who have already begun their "palace intrigue," including Su Yu, Liu Qingning, Wen Ruan, Ouyang Xian Yue, and Secretary Jin.

He definitely needs someone with high emotional intelligence, strong abilities, and loyalty to join him.

To coordinate relationships among all parties and to implement one's own will.

Xiaoxue is clearly not a suitable candidate.

She is better suited to be his "personal co-assistant," handling those glamorous, high-end business matters that belong to his private circle.

If you encounter a high-level struggle, you'll be completely manipulated.

Shen Yuyan is undoubtedly a "work assistant" who can be trained.

Of course, in addition to this, he will need to recruit another "technical assistant" who truly understands technology in the future.

After all, [Xuanji Light Realm] is essentially a hardcore technology company.

His next task will also require him to be deeply involved in product development and the formulation of technical roadmaps.

He certainly can't do it on his own, being only a "half-baked" individual.

However, he doesn't have a suitable candidate yet, and this matter can only be discussed after he officially takes office.

……

Chengdu, JW Marriott Hotel, Executive Suite.

Shen Yuyan stared at the WeChat chat interface, waiting for Tang Song's next reply.

She put down her phone, walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down at the bustling scene of traffic below, feeling a chill in her heart.

The unease that had been swirling in my heart grew stronger.

She wasn't lying about one thing: she really didn't sleep well last night, tossing and turning all night.

But it wasn't because the room was too big and I was scared or because I was cold; it was because I was frightened.

She never imagined that Tang Song's personal investment business would just... come to a standstill like that?!

Then what value does she still have?
Although Tang Song mentioned that his focus would shift to the [Xuanji Light Realm], [Rongliu Capital] only holds 3.8% of the shares in the [Xuanji Light Realm] project and does not even have a single board seat, so its voice is extremely limited.

She didn't know how much work she would have left, or whether she would be able to stay by his side any longer.

After all, all her current glory, status, and power were bestowed upon her by him.

She couldn't imagine her future if she lost this "value".

The panic of being left on the periphery of power plunged her into anxiety and fear.

After a long time, she sighed.

With my room key in hand, I had breakfast at the all-day dining restaurant on the 8th floor.

I fixed my makeup and changed into a smart business suit.

Heading to the branch office of Linglian Technology to handle the details of the subsequent investment and financing handover.

This is very likely... her last job as a "special assistant".

A black Audi A6L drives on the main road of Chengdu.

"Buzz buzz buzz—" The phone in the handbag vibrated.

Shen Yuyan was startled and quickly took it out to check.

Then came a wave of disappointment.

Zhang Tianqi: "Yu Yan, Lin Lu and I have arrived in Shenzhen. You're coming tomorrow, right?"

Shen Yuyan pursed her lips and replied, "Yes, that's right."

Zhang Tianqi: "OK, see you tomorrow then."

After giving a brief reply, Shen Yuyan rubbed her temples, leaned back wearily in her chair, and let out a long sigh.

The day after tomorrow is the official opening day of the highly anticipated "Next Generation Smart Hardware Ecosystem Summit" hosted by Tangyi Precision.

Previously, she had excitedly shared official posts.

He subtly "showed off" that he had been invited to the event, which garnered countless likes and compliments on his WeChat Moments.

Subsequently, Zhang Tianqi contacted her, saying that he and his fiancée Lin Lu would also be attending.

Lin Lu is also an alumna of Yancheng University of Science and Technology, so she knows her. (Chapter 278)
However, their relationship wasn't very good.

Lin Lu is an inherently arrogant person, and she was once a dazzling and popular school beauty, so the two didn't get along very well.

Later, after starting a business with Zhang Tianqi, she realized that Lin Lu's pride was well-founded.

Her father is the chairman of [Boruit Vision Technology Co., Ltd.]

This seemingly inconspicuous company is actually one of the 32 "specialized, refined, and innovative" supporting enterprises that Tangyi Precision is focusing on supporting in Yan Province.

When Shen Yuyan saw Zhang Tianqi again at his birthday party, the stark contrast in their backgrounds dealt a significant blow to the then-spirited Shen Yuyan.

After graduating, Lin Lu went straight to work at her father's company, where she had a smooth and promising future.

She went to the summit with her father to expand her network.

Zhang Tianqi accompanied her as her fiancé.

When she learned of this news, Shen Yuyan was full of plans to show off in front of them and make up for her past emotional trauma.

Then he reappeared in front of Wang Yubo and Ren Mingyuan, in a completely new identity, to observe their expressions.

She longed for revenge, for standing in the center of the stage, and even more so, for proving herself.

But now, she no longer has so many ulterior motives.

In fact, she knew very well what was going on in her heart.

Even with the title of "Special Assistant to the Chairman of Rongliu Capital," he wasn't exactly a big shot at this level of summit.

If it weren't for Ms. Ouyang's personal invitation, she might not even have been qualified to attend the meeting.

If I actually meet Wang Yubo and Ren Mingyuan, at most I'll just use the information gap and my imposing manner to suppress them verbally and vent my anger.

To inflict any fatal blow on their company, she would need to utilize Rongliu Capital's investment authority to precisely target and suppress them through the stock market or their financing channels.

Unfortunately, she neither had the ability nor the authority to do so.

Her current position is under the management of the president's office, and her direct supervisor is Lin Muxue.

In this massive system, he could only be considered a mid-level manager at best.

He is one level below Lin Muxue, the general assistant executive.

Moreover, her work scope was strictly limited to "personal investment business in the Tang and Song dynasties".

Tang Song never explicitly authorized her to conduct the company's core investment business, nor did he ever assign her any related tasks.

As an assistant, she has no authority to do anything unless the boss assigns it to her; this is a basic rule in the workplace.

Therefore, Lin Muxue has no access to many of the confidential internal documents and core decision-making meetings that she could see or participate in.

This is why she has always coveted Lin Muxue's position, desperately trying to prove herself and take her place.

But now, even their only "reliance"—

Personal investment activities during the Tang and Song dynasties had to be suspended.

What else can she use to fight? What else can she use to struggle?
The road ahead is shrouded in uncertainty.

……

Shenzhen, Nanshan District, Tangyi Precision Global Headquarters.

The private elevator is ascending smoothly.

The assistant stood by, quietly reporting the upcoming schedule: "Chairman Ouyang, at 10:00 AM sharp, there will be a transoceanic video conference with the Australian branch, mainly regarding the iron ore supply chain there… At 2:00 PM, you will need to listen to the Department of Justice's risk assessment report on the new US bill…"

Ouyang Xian Yue gently pressed her temples, interrupting her: "The meeting with Australia is canceled. Let the regional president handle it himself. Have the legal department finish their report this afternoon in fifteen minutes."

"Ok."

The elevator arrived at the top floor.

Ouyang Xian Yue returned to the quiet chairman's office, picked up the black coffee that had been prepared on the table, and took a small sip.

Instead of immediately getting to work, she walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the bustling and vibrant city below, her gaze somewhat lost in thought.

In the past few days, she has been having all sorts of bizarre dreams frequently.

Most of my dreams are related to the Tang and Song dynasties.

She actually knew the reason very well.

Although they had already given signals while in Chengdu, the two of them ultimately failed to take that step.

After returning, she didn't even take the initiative to contact Tang Song again to deliberately deepen their ambiguous relationship.

This was not only because of her deep-rooted reserve and pride, but also because she knew very well that if she did that, in addition to the potential moral risks, it might immediately provoke a strong backlash from Jin Weixiao and Su Yu.

A jumble of thoughts swirled and struggled in her mind, causing her great distress.

"Jingle Bell--"

The personal cell phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

Ouyang Xian Yue snapped out of her thoughts, picked up her phone and glanced at it; her expression instantly turned serious.

She pressed the answer button, her voice calm and composed: "Good morning, smile."

"Good morning, Crescent Moon." A clear, pleasant voice, like Secretary Kim's, came from the receiver. "Did I disturb you?"

"No, your timing is as precise as ever. I just arrived at the office."

Ouyang Xian Yue slowly sat down and leaned back in her chair.

"Heh." She chuckled softly. "I heard you met him in Chengdu. What did you think?"

“It’s good.” Ouyang Xian Yue looked out the window, her tone gentle and restrained. “It’s better than expected. I admire his current state… My grandfather is the same.”

"That's good." Secretary Kim's voice sounded like she was laughing, yet also like she was speculating. "It seems you two had a very pleasant conversation, so I'm relieved."

"Hehe, you don't need to worry at all."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, maintaining a delicate balance of intimacy.

At least on the surface, their relationship was amicable.

Ouyang Xian Yue took the initiative to ask, "Go ahead and speak, Xiao Xiao. For you to call me personally, it can't be a small matter."

“Indeed, it’s quite significant.” Secretary Jin’s voice regained its usual rationality and control. “President Tang has decided to officially assume the role of Global CEO of [Xuanji Light Realm]. The appointment is effective today, and related arrangements will be implemented immediately.”

"What?!" Ouyang Xian Yue sat up abruptly, her eyes filled with astonishment.

On the other end of the line, Secretary Kim did not respond to her question, but instead calmly and precisely stated:

"His office needs a redesign and renovation. Security and communication protocols will all be upgraded to the highest level. The drinks will be Macallan 18 Year Old and Perrier-Jouët Rosé Champagne. He prefers cedar or cool wood scents for aromatherapy... I'll send you a detailed list later..."

As she continued speaking, Ouyang Xian Yue's heart began to pound uncontrollably.

No wonder Jin Weixiao made so many small moves against the Xuanji Light Realm.

She even allowed her former subordinate, Jiang Yourong, to join the president's office.

Tang Song, is he really coming to [Xuanji Light Realm] to be the CEO?!
In other words... she will officially work with him.

Ouyang Xian Yue's fingertips unconsciously caressed the coffee cup.

That thrill, almost like being pulled by fate, made her even careful when she breathed.

The Tang and Song dynasties have always been like a mysterious shadow, hidden behind the scenes.

Over the years, in the development of Tangyi Precision, apart from necessary strategic communication, there has been very little private contact between them.

They were nothing like the close relationship between Kim Mi-so and him.

This gentlemanly distance prevented her from completely letting go of the poise befitting a noblewoman while in Chengdu.

He was even less willing to lose face and confront Su Yu.

And now, right after that meeting filled with ambiguity and probing, he has made this decision.

This unexpected surprise was like a warm current flowing through her entire body.

Did he make this decision because of me?

Once the thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed.

Even with Ouyang Xian Yue's sharp mind, he felt dizzy at this moment.
