Chapter 2102 - 688: Words of Tigers and Wolves, Balance of Power, Qipao (Double Release for Monthly Ticket)
"""
He glanced at the obviously somewhat flustered female CEO.
Tang Song stepped slightly forward, nodded gently, and said, "Please tell Miss Ouyang that we are very happy to accept her invitation. You can send me the specific time and place directly later."
Chen Jing slightly bowed, "Okay, I will convey it truthfully."
Xie Shuyu bit her lip, her chest wrapped in a white shirt heaving violently with her rapid breathing.
Ouyang Xianyue... personally came to her store... and is inviting her to dinner?
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
She extended her hand, her voice slightly unsteady, "Thank you for your hard work, Secretary Chen. It’s an honor to receive Miss Ouyang’s recognition. I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s meeting."
"Okay." Chen Jing smiled and shook hands with her, speaking in a calm and appropriate tone, "Additionally, for the next step, if President Xie encounters any difficulties in the collaboration between Glimmer Coffee and the Southwest supply chain, feel free to contact me directly. Of course, in any other areas where I can be of assistance, please don’t hesitate to ask."
Xie Shuyu’s pupils trembled gently.
She certainly understood the formidable weight of these words.
This was not merely a polite "take care," but a clear signal.
It represented the goodwill of Ouyang Xianyue herself towards her.
And this "goodwill" implied a tilt of resources, an open channel, and an invisible shelter.
At this moment, she instinctively thought of many things.
She could even, through this, access the vast industrial network of TY Precision.
The most direct benefit would be collaborating with TY Precision’s design and manufacturing departments to develop a custom smart proprietary brand coffee machine for Glimmer Coffee!
That would become an unparalleled promotional selling point.
It could technically distance Glimmer Coffee from all its competitors by a dimensional level.
She could also use this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to network upward.
To seize more resources.
As a quintessential workaholic, a career-driven strong woman.
Xie Shuyu’s heart was pounding like never before.
Next to her, Meng Ran stood almost frozen in place.
It was only now that she finally snapped back from the series of shocks.
A thought suddenly emerged from her heart.
Could I... go too?
That’s Ouyang Xianyue!
Her idol, her role model, the reason she cut her hair short, the embodiment of her life creed!
If she could get one chance to sit at the same table and talk intimately with that legendary woman...
Yet this thought only flashed by.
She glanced at Secretary Chen and knew immediately that the other person didn’t notice her at all.
The focus was solely on Tang Song and Xie Shuyu.
To be precise, just Tang Song.
...
After exchanging a few words of gentle and polite pleasantries.
Chen Jing then bowed and said goodbye, "I won’t disturb you two any further. Goodbye, Mr. Tang, President Xie."
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Watching Chen Jing’s figure disappear into the crowd, Xie Shuyu couldn’t help but look down again at the elegant yet weighted business card in her hand.
Then she lifted her head, looking at the man beside her.
The light illuminated his profile, still stern and calm.
As if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with him.
"Tang Song..."
Tang Song raised his hand, gently patting her back, "Don’t be nervous, Miss Ouyang is not a flood or a wild beast. In fact, she’s a very gentle person."
"Mm." Xie Shuyu exhaled a long breath.
Soon after, now calmed down, countless questions flashed through her mind again.
Ouyang Xianyue’s chief secretary personally came here just to invite me and offer me help?
Even emphasizing that "Miss Ouyang specially instructed"?
This clearly was no longer a simple business relationship.
It crossed the boundaries of power and trust.
Unless...
There is a deeper collaboration or even some personal-level close contact between Tang Song and Miss Ouyang.
This speculation emerged and even startled herself.
Tang Song is the quintessential young man from the small town of Jing County in Quan City, this she knew for sure.
After all, her hometown is also in Jing County, very close to the town where Tang Song lived.
Her parents even asked someone to find out about Tang Song’s family situation.
This couldn’t be faked.
So if they are not kin, could it be an elder’s admiration and mentoring towards a younger generation?
After all, Rongliu Capital has the presence of the Tang Jin Family Office behind it.
Just like she once did...?
However, at that time, in addition to admiration, she also had some private motives – a physiological attraction.
For a venerable woman like Miss Ouyang, it must truly be admiration for Tang Song, this junior, right?
Tomorrow... I must perform well and not leave any negative impressions.
So as not to affect Tang Song’s image in the other party’s eyes.
...
Meanwhile, as Chen Jing quietly left.
The atmosphere within the entire venue also subtly changed.
As for the identity of the other party, it naturally couldn’t be hidden.
Although Miss Ouyang’s secretary rarely appeared in public, she was nonetheless a known figure, a secret to none.
The guests, who were initially whispering in low tones, now further lowered their voices,
their gazes towards Tang Song and Xie Shuyu grew increasingly complex.
If previously, it was shock and curiosity,
now, there was more genuine reverence and awe.
Rongliu Capital is undoubtedly powerful; a private equity fund of tens of billions of US dollars, almost at the pinnacle of the financial pyramid.
