Chapter 2021 - 667: For You! (Part 2)
To avoid the complex and suffocating disputes within the family, and to find an outlet where she could fully commit herself.
She took on the mess left by her husband—[New Kaihang].
It was once a glorious company, now a precision instrument business drowning in debt.
Due to outdated technology, broken capital chain, and intensified market competition, [New Kaihang] was on the verge of bankruptcy, once being her husband’s biggest worry.
Though the emotional bond between them wasn’t deep, as his wife, she still hoped to fulfill her husband’s last wish.
Even when she exerted all her efforts and mobilized all her resources for rescue efforts, issues like factory shutdowns, employee protests, and a sharp drop in customer orders still swamped her.
An entire two years almost drove her to desperation.
Back then, she was like a string stretched to its limit, ready to snap.
And in such a situation, Tang Song appeared before her.
The young man, only 19, had clear and pure eyes, yet they carried a wisdom and calmness beyond his years.
Upon their first meeting, he gave her an inexplicable sense of closeness, as if he were a long-lost old friend.
With his support and guidance, she gradually pulled herself out of the abyss.
With her own hands, she transformed the broken "New Kaihang" into the vast and awe-inspiring "TY Precision" technological empire it is today.
They have shared many stories.
Now she was 36.
Reflecting on seven years, it seemed to pass in a fleeting moment.
Tang Song from the past was always aloof, lacking the warmth of emotions.
Indeed, deep down she hoped to have an open conversation with this "confidant."
Topics like Jin Meixiao, Anne Kate, and his real plans for the future.
To remind him to be wary of certain people.
She has many doubts and worries.
Over the years, she wanted countless times to bring them up, but Tang Song, while interacting, was too "cold," too "self-centered," and too "inviolable."
Also, Jin Meixiao was inherently his closest person, even closer than she was.
Many words, she couldn’t speak out.
But now he returned, seemingly transformed entirely.
Would the relationship between them change?
Ouyang Xianyue ultimately didn’t answer her mother’s question.
She put down the teacup, got up, and slowly walked into the courtyard by herself.
November in Rong City had already lost the summer heat.
The air carried a faint sweetness and coolness lingering after the osmanthus blossoms burned out.
In the yard, the century-old ginkgo tree had its leaves fully yellowed, resembling a giant golden canopy.
She vaguely remembered back then Ouyang Xiaoxiong tirelessly circling the large tree, picking ginkgo leaves.
She looked up at the clouds rolling above, the vast clear sky.
Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, it seemed to weave into a spirited, dazzling figure.
At 19, he was destined to amaze her for the rest of her life from the very start.
"Tang Song, you don’t know how much I look forward to seeing you tomorrow—the new you."
...
The night deepens.
In a high-rise apartment in Qingyang District.
The lights are bright, the atmosphere warm.
On the wide white couch in the living room, Xie Shuyu lounged lazily, her bare fair feet casually and relaxed.
She wore a simple white silk shirt dress, her straight, long supermodel legs especially eye-catching.
In the cool-toned light, they glowed with an ivory-like delicate luster.
She hugged a Sakura Momo cartoon pillow, which formed a delightful contrast to her mature and sexy aura.
In fact, born in 1991, she was once also an anime fan.
Particularly fond of "Sakura Momo" and "Inuyasha."
On this point, Meng Ran shared much common ground with her.
Once, the two agreed to visit Sakura Country’s Shizuoka City after earning money someday.
To tour Sakura Momo’s prototype school.
But now, they no longer have the same mood and feeling as before.
Meng Ran, holding a bottle of cocktail, sat opposite Xie Shuyu.
On her face, always showing a bit of sharpness and efficiency, was full of fan-like worship and yearning.
"...Really, Yu, I truly think Miss Ouyang is the real idol for every female entrepreneur of our time."
"Not only has she single-handedly brought [TY Precision] to the global top but also made great contributions to our country’s technological industry..."
Xie Shuyu listened quietly while occasionally nodding in agreement with a smile.
She knew her longtime friend always regarded Ouyang Xianyue as her ultimate idol.
Even her hairstyle deliberately mimicked the classic mid-short hair of Miss Ouyang.
Such a woman certainly deserves everyone’s respect.
Of course, if comparisons must be made, deep down, Xie Shuyu actually admired Chairman Jin more.
After all, Miss Ouyang’s family background is too prominent—her uncle, for instance, is the second-in-command in Chuan Province now.
On her path to success, there was indeed personal effort and talent, but also inevitably the shelter and support of her family’s towering presence.
On the other hand, Chairman Jin’s story was more legendary, younger, and more fearsome.
She seems to truly have built her empire from scratch, establishing the colossal and mysterious capital empire [Smile Holding] within just a few years.
