Charm point maxed out, inheriting game assets

Xie Shuyu was just about to say something.

But her phone inconveniently rang.

[Shuxian Supply Chain - Chen Hao]

The two of them instantly put away all their jokes and exchanged a glance.

They both saw the seriousness in each other’s eyes.

Xie Shuyu pressed her red lips together and answered the call, "Hello? President Chen, what’s up?"

From the other end, Chen Hao’s somewhat enthusiastic voice came through: "President Xie, here’s the thing. Tomorrow afternoon, our Shuxian Supply Chain will be leading a ’Southwest Region New Consumer Brand Supply Chain Collaboration Meeting’ at our group skyscraper.

I have specially invited Vice President Zhang from New Hope Dairy, Chairman Li from the largest semi-finished bakery factory in Chuan Province, along with several top fruit and vegetable suppliers to attend.

Oh, and the person in charge of Coffee and Time under our group will also be joining.

At that time, we will announce the most favorable cooperation prices for the upcoming year on site and disclose some exclusive supply chain resources."

He paused, his tone becoming more meaningful, "I believe that if President Xie can personally attend, you will definitely receive an offer you can’t refuse. Moreover, we can further discuss the matter of investing in Glimmer Coffee."

Xie Shuyu pressed her lips together, "Thank you very much for the invitation, President Chen. Just a bit unlucky, as I have a meeting with our independent investor tomorrow to discuss some important matters."

"Oh? Investor?" Chen Hao chuckled lightly, "That’s perfect, you can invite him over here too. In fact, I’ve long wanted to meet this powerful ’big shot’ investor you speak of."

Xie Shuyu was silent for a moment, then said softly, "I need to ask for his opinion on this, but he’s very busy, afraid that..."

"No problem." Chen Hao said indifferently, "I’ll send you the detailed information about the meeting via WhatsApp later. I hope President Xie can reconsider seriously. I think it’s a good thing for both sides."

After finishing, he hung up directly.

Meng Ran said softly, "He’s issuing you a final ultimatum, gathering all the key suppliers together and offering you concessions in front of everyone. If you go, it means you’ve tacitly accepted his peace offer; if you don’t, it will openly slap him in the face, and then you must immediately change suppliers."

Xie Shuyu nodded, extending her slender fingers to rub her temples.

"Enough of this talk. I’m going to the bathroom and will touch up my makeup."

"Oh~ It really is a woman in love, she knows to touch up her makeup, haha, little Yu is so cute." Meng Ran patted her on the ass.

"Get lost." Xie Shuyu gave her a glare, and a blush rose on her dignified face.

Watching her friend’s obviously tense back, Meng Ran let out a gentle sigh.

Just at that moment.

"Dingdong—" A WhatsApp notification sounded.

The phone that Xie Shuyu had placed on the desk lit up.

On the nearby laptop, a WhatsApp message also popped up.

[Song: "Sister Shuyu, I’m already downstairs, waiting for you in the southeast corner booth. You handle your work first."]

Additionally, there was a photo of the cafe interior taken from the booth’s viewpoint.

Looking at the nickname "Song" and the address "Sister Shuyu,"

Meng Ran chuckled lightly, feeling very curious.

She never would’ve thought that her always workaholic, career-driven friend would actually be moved by an ordinary heart and start a much-trending older woman younger man romance.

This is simply too reminiscent of a TV drama’s heroine.

However, according to TV drama plots, things usually don’t go smoothly.

There must be many twists and misunderstandings between the two.

For example, a young and beautiful "green tea" who takes the initiative to attach herself, or an eminent family background "supporting actress" who creates obstacles.

Meng Ran’s eyes twinkled, grabbing her bag, she said a word to the assistant Min who was busy with work, and walked straight out.

She was too curious and wanted to know what kind of man he really was.

This was not only out of concern and care for her confidante but also because Xie Shuyu had repeatedly invited her to be the COO of Glimmer Coffee.

And this Tang Song, being the major shareholder of the company, his character and personality would be crucial factors in her final decision.

After all, it’s only because of their relationship that Tang Song has let Xie Shuyu take charge.

The company’s governance structure is deeply bound by the founder’s personal feelings, and Tang Song is so young.

If any problems arise in their relationship later on, this huge investment would become a key risk hindering Glimmer Coffee’s development.

The simplest way would be to "test" him in a playful manner as a friend.

Although she wasn’t as strikingly beautiful as Xie Shuyu, in terms of appearance, figure, and temperament, she was also quite excellent.

She could be considered a standard beauty.

Moreover, having reached her current position, her capability and insight were naturally adequate.

She had confidence; just a brief interaction with a man could give her an idea of his nature.

...

Walking out of the backstage office area, Meng Ran subconsciously checked her reflection in the smooth metal wall next to her.

Her makeup was delicate, her smile confident, and her eyes carried the unique sophistication and intelligence of an urban elite.

She was satisfied as she curled her lips, adjusting the collar of her trench coat.

"Tap, tap, tap—"

With the crisp sound of high heels striking the ground, she walked confidently and gracefully towards the southeast corner of the café.
