Charm point maxed out, inheriting game assets

Chapter 314: Chapter 210 Smart Home Chapter 314: Chapter 210 Smart Home Yan City University Entrepreneurship and Employment Incubation Base.

“I’m very honored to stand here and share with everyone the entrepreneurial experience of Youjie Housekeeping… We need to identify the market accurately and grasp user needs precisely…”

Standing behind a dark wooden podium on the small stage directly in front, Shen Yuyan presented herself with graceful elegance and poise.

A few strands of hair fell onto her fair and refreshing cheeks, her eyes clear and bright, her voice warm and healing,

attracting the gaze of everyone in the audience.

The morning’s events weren’t numerous, mainly consisting of opening remarks, leaders’ speeches, and experience sharing.

Shen Yuyan, active in the Yan City University student entrepreneurship circle year-round, had a close connection with the incubation base.

At the beginning of her entrepreneurship journey, she also received a lot of support from the authorities.

Now, Youjie Housekeeping had accomplished stable profitability, secured a fixed customer acquisition channel and base, and was actively seeking financing. It was considered a standard model of entrepreneurial success.

She was also listed as a model by the park’s leadership, invited to the stage to share her experience.

Shen Yuyan naturally wouldn’t miss such an opportunity to stand out.

Moreover, there were many people from investment institutions in the audience, offering a rare chance to showcase her enterprise.

At 5 p.m.

The event paused temporarily, and everyone rose to move to the banquet hall on the second floor, beginning the pre-dinner networking phase.

Shen Yuyan and a few friends sat down near the center, conversing while observing the surrounding guests,

pondering how to approach those investment agencies more securely later on.

“Tat-tat-tat” footsteps approached.

A gentle voice sounded, “Let’s sit here too.”

Soon after, Gao Mengting and several alumni took their seats at Shen Yuyan’s round table,

greeting those around them proactively.

Since they were all entrepreneurial students, they managed to strike up conversations with each other.

“Songmei Clothing will be entering a period of expansion soon. If anyone around you knows of some excellent talents related to live broadcasting, please recommend them,” said Gao Mengting as she stood up, elegantly passing out business cards and briefly introducing her company.

At least half of the companies in the entrepreneurship park were related to live broadcasting.

These practitioners surely knew some suitable people, which was one of her reasons for coming over.

Confidence adorned her face with a sincere and frank smile, leaving a very good impression on others.

Shen Yuyan accepted the business card, nodded at her, and returned one of her own.

[Songmei Clothing Trading Co., Ltd., Deputy General Manager, Gao Mengting]

She was not unfamiliar with this former deputy chairman of the Yan City University School of Business and Management’s student council.

After all, she herself was the student council president of the School of Business and Management at Yan City University of Science and Technology.

Both were students in the same cohort and had some renown at their respective universities, with quite a few intersections in their circle of friends.

However, the Gao Mengting she encountered this time seemed different.

The biggest changes were in her mindset and aura, which were quite striking.

It was unclear how much Tang Song might invest, but she was still very eager for investment from professional investment institutions with their own resources and connections.

Also, Youjie Housekeeping was currently just at the angel funding stage.

Looking ahead to the A and B rounds, when the scale of financing would definitely be in the tens of millions, it was clear that personal investors were not going to be enough.

“Yuyan, Yuyan!” Suddenly, a calling voice interrupted her thoughts.

Shen Yuyan turned her head and saw a familiar figure.

She chuckled, “Mengli, you finally arrived.”

“Hmpf, I’ve been busy receiving VIPs in the east area the whole time and just finished. I’ve come especially to find you,” Mengli took hold of her arm, whispering, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to meet someone, it’s about your company’s financing. This time it’s definitely reliable.”

Hearing her words, Shen Yuyan’s eyes instantly lit up.

Mengli was her university classmate and roommate, and they’d always had a good relationship.

After graduation, Mengli successfully secured a position in a public institution.

The “University Students’ Entrepreneurship Support Meeting” was co-organized by her unit.

Since she said so, that meant the person they were about to meet was likely to invest in their company.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Yuyan tidied up her hair and collar, adjusted her mindset, and followed Mengli out.

They left the banquet hall, took a turn, and finally stopped outside a rest room.

“Knock knock knock—” Mengli gently knocked on the door.

“Come in!” A deep male voice came from inside.

Pushing open the door, they entered a spacious and bright rest room,

where the first things she saw were two formally dressed men sitting on a couch drinking tea.

The older man was the operations manager of the entrepreneurship incubation park, Li Shutong.

The younger man, who looked under 30, had a straight posture with handsome features, exuding the aura of a successful person.

Shen Yuyan felt she recognized him but couldn’t recall from where.

“Manager Li!” “Manager Li!”

They greeted Li Shutong first.

After exchanging greetings with the young man, Li Shutong smiled, “You two take your time, I’m heading back to the banquet hall. See you later.”

With that, he got up and left the room.

The young man stood, his face breaking into a brilliant smile, “Hello, School Beauty Shen, it’s been a long time.”

Shen Yuyan felt a hint of awkwardness but nodded politely, “Hello.”

Being able to chat alone with Manager Li in the resting room meant he was someone with significant influence; she couldn’t afford to offend him.

Mengli chuckled on the side, “Senior Ren, it seems Yuyan doesn’t remember you, haha. Let me introduce you. This gentleman is Senior Ren Mingyuan, three years our senior.”

Ren Mingyuan’s gaze was intent as he looked at her and explained, “When School Beauty Shen was a freshman, I had already started my entrepreneurship in my senior year. We only crossed paths a few times during events; it’s understandable that you don’t remember.”

“So it’s Senior Ren!” Shen Yuyan laughed lightly, “Don’t use that title anymore; I’ve been a graduate for three years now. It sounds a bit awkward, just call me by my name.”

“Okay, Yuyan!” Ren Mingyuan nodded, “Please take a seat, ladies. I only learned about Youjie Housekeeping on my visit to Yan City this time, and I have some thoughts as well. Let’s have a talk.”

Hearing this, Shen Yuyan’s heart skipped a beat.

Her perception and emotional intelligence were both quite impressive, she could clearly feel confidence and ease from the other person’s tone and movements.

Pressing her lips together, Shen Yuyan followed Mengli and sat down on the sofa.

Ren Mingyuan took the initiative to pour two cups of tea and briefly introduced his background before starting to talk about his purpose and ideas.

A student in the Computer Science department, Class of 2013, majoring in Internet of Things Engineering at Yan City University of Science and Technology.

In his senior year, he formed a team with classmates, and with the support of the school and officials, he began to venture into the field of smart home technology.

Since 2017, it had been the high-speed development period for smart homes.

Especially in 2020, the market entered a phase of explosive growth.

They seized this opportunity, grew stronger step by step, brought in capital, moved to Imperial City, and established their own product lines and sales channels.

They gained a firm foothold in the smart home industry, and the company earned over ten million in profit last year.

After listening to this successful entrepreneurial story,

Shen Yuyan’s emotions fluctuated greatly.

This was the entrepreneurship and success she had dreamed of, the grand prospects, cooperative partners, and favor of capital.

She picked up her teacup and took a sip, then asked, “Senior, what do you mean?”

Ren Mingyuan looked at the campus beauty and said with a smile, “I am currently the vice president of the company and also in charge of strategic investment. Housekeeping is a direct contact point with families, right? And it mainly relies on word-of-mouth marketing. I want to invest in Youjie Housekeeping mainly to cooperate with you. We’re aiming for service complementarity and expansion, combined marketing, enhancing customer loyalty, and as the housekeeping company grows, helping Win-win Technology promote our home products.”

Hearing these words, Shen Yuyan’s hand holding the teacup tightened slightly, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

…

Fresh Home Community.

Tang Song did a final check to make sure he hadn’t left anything behind, then cleaned the room thoroughly once more.

He took a photo and sent it to the landlord, Lu Ziming.

The message read, “Ziming, I’m moving out all of my things today, the house is now vacant. I’ve left the electricity card, water card, and keys in the drawer in the master bedroom for you to check when you come by. By the way, are you free tonight? I want to treat you to dinner.”

Not long after the message was sent, his phone suddenly rang.

It was Lu Ziming calling.

He answered the call.

A familiar voice came through the receiver: “Hello, Song.”

Leaning back in his chair, Tang Song said, “Hi, Ziming. What’s up? Are you free tonight?”

Lu Ziming hesitated for a moment before saying, “I am free, but… Song, I need a favor from you.”

“Just tell me what it is. You’re being so hesitant, that’s not really your style,” Tang Song replied.

“Can you bring Tian Jing along to dinner tonight? Thing is, my sister works in the sales department at Zhongcheng Group, and she’d like to get to know her, make a friend.”

Tang Song immediately understood upon hearing this.

Tian Jing’s father, Tian Chengye, was an executive director of Zhongcheng Group, and for an employee, knowing Tian Jing could make their career path much smoother.

“Sure, I’ll ask Tian Jing if she’s free tonight.”

“Thanks a lot, Song!”

After hanging up, Tang Song sent a message to Tian Jing on WeChat.

[Jing: “Of course, no problem! Send me the address, and I’ll head there right after work.”]

Checking the time, Tang Song replied, “I happen to be nearby, I’ll come and pick you up later, and we can go together.”

She would be getting off work in only an hour, and Fresh Home Community was conveniently located near Linjin Building.

[Jing: “Alright, see you soon.”]

[Jing: kiss.gif]

Tang Song also sent back a kissing emoji and messaged Lu Ziming to confirm the restaurant address.

Putting away his phone, he picked up the last storage bag and went downstairs, placing it in the trunk.

It had to be said, the Wuling Hongguang really had a lot of space.

Even with all his stuff in it, the trunk still had plenty of room.

Locking the car, Tang Song walked along the shady paths in the peaceful and cozy community.

He looked at the familiar landscaping around him, recalling the times when he used to exercise here to lose weight.

…

17:50.

The Wuling Hongguang S started smoothly, driving out of Fresh Home Community along the clean, level cement road.

At this time of day in Yan City, traffic was already building up.

They made slow progress, stopping and starting, and it took 5 minutes before finally arriving at the Linjin Building.

Tang Song parked the car in the ground parking area, took a photo, and shared it with Jing.

Standing next to the car, he watched the comings and goings of people while quietly waiting.

The orange hues of the sunset fell on him, and Tang Song, dressed in high-quality casual clothes, stood out particularly.

He drew the attention of many passersby, young girls and married women alike.

“President Tang!” came a surprised voice from nearby.

Tang Song turned around and said with a smile, “Brother Guo, it’s you.”

Hearing the familiar address and manner, especially when he saw the Wuling Hongguang, Guo Peng’s face slowly relaxed.

He was reminded of the time they had bought cars together.

Guo Peng patted the Wuling Hongguang and said with a chuckle, “President Tang, are you waiting for someone? From our company?”

“Yep,” Tang Song nodded, smiling and gesturing behind Guo Peng, “The person I’m waiting for is here.”

Guo Peng turned around in surprise and saw a lively figure bouncing their way.

Dressed in a pretty white dress, with double ponytails, cute and sweet, with a sexy figure.

Tian Jing?

Soon after, he saw company goddess Tian Jing directly throw herself into Tang Song’s arms for a tight hug.

Her voice was soft and sweet as she said, “Song! I’ve missed you so much! I brought back quite a few gifts for you from my trip to Spring City, but they’re all at home, I’ll give them to you tonight!”

Guo Peng’s face suddenly stiffened.
