Charm point maxed out, inheriting game assets

Chapter 801: Chapter 356: The Intertwining Us_2

”Alright, I’ll pick you up in the evening.”

Tang Qingchuan put down his drink and said, ”Shuyu, about your financing matter, I’ve already mentioned it to a few friends. I’ll let you know if there’s any news.”

”Thanks, but I’m not too worried about it anymore. It’s okay if I can’t get the financing. There will always be a way forward.” Xie Shuyu shook her head with a smile.

Tang Qingchuan was the husband of her high school friend Susan and also one of her close friends; they’ve known each other for almost ten years.

He’s a typical rich second generation, with a passion for off-roading, and even opened a Road Patrol Off-Road Club in Quan City.

His family mainly focuses on earthmoving projects, primarily undertaking government infrastructure projects, and they are also involved in real estate.

He is considered to have extensive connections throughout Quan City.

For instance, the house with a garden that she bought for her parents was thanks to Tang Qingchuan’s connections.

Some of her relatives’ jobs were also arranged with Susan’s help.

However, his network is mainly in the engineering field, which has nothing to do with a chain store like Glimmer Cafe.

Moreover, Tang Qingchuan is currently in a critical period of taking over the family business.

Xie Shuyu wouldn’t shamelessly push her friends to invest in her.

”Alright, go with the flow.” Tang Qingchuan laughed and said, ”For a woman of strength like you, we don’t even have the right to give advice.”

Susan immediately nodded and said, ”That’s right, Yu was always very competitive even in high school. Whatever she did, she wanted to do her best. After graduating from college, she started from scratch and built up assets worth tens of millions, she’s the most outstanding independent woman I know.”

She really admired this good friend of hers, unlike her who used to rely on her parents and now relies on her husband.

Xie Shuyu pursed her lips and lightly laughed. She nudged Jiang Yourong next to her with her elbow, ”Why don’t you guys take a break from praising me? Let our Professor Jiang tell you about Chairman Jin’s story, and you’ll know what a truly accomplished woman is like.”

Tang Qingchuan and Susan were taken aback, ”Does Professor Jiang know Jin Meixiao?”

They’ve only met Jiang Yourong a few times and haven’t had much interaction.

Jiang Yourong, who was enjoying her food, smiled and pretended to say nonchalantly, ”I used to be Chairman Jin’s assistant.”

This statement had almost become her catchphrase.

Whenever she said it, she instantly became the star of the room.

Sure enough, for the next half hour, the two kept asking about the stories and rumors of Chairman Jin.

”Back when I left in 2017, Chairman Jin’s car was a silver-black two-tone Maybach S680. Come to think of it, I’ve even ridden in it a few times.”

”What about the driver? Was he a strong, retired soldier king, six-foot-three, handsome, wearing sunglasses?”

”Pfft—” Jiang Yourong couldn’t help but laugh, then said, ”Of course not. Chairman Jin’s driver and assistant were all women. For example, there was a newly appointed female driver during my time, with a rather interesting name, Liu Jiayi. She was a cool and chic girl, a national martial arts champion.”

Mentioning her former colleague, Jiang Yourong felt a sting of envy.

Because of her ”laziness” and ”desire for comfort,” she gave up on her assistant job and chose to pursue a PhD and become a university teacher.

In fact, the profession of a university teacher is quite good, with high social status, relatively easy work, and summer and winter breaks. It was her ideal job in the past.

But the problem is, everything is about comparison.

All being early assistants.

Some became company directors, some made waves overseas, and others stayed by Chairman Jin’s side managing Smile Holding.

Now, seeing these people, she doesn’t even have the privilege to strike up a conversation.

Even the driver, Liu Jiayi, reportedly became a big leader at Golden Shield Security later.

Destiny is just so messed up!

...

After 5 PM.

”Ring ring ring—” The phone rang.

Tang Song, who was chatting with his parents, picked up the phone and glanced at it, answering the call, ”Hey, Zhang Lei, are you done?”

”Yeah, just left the client’s office. Where are you now? Are you free?”

”I’m at home, free. Want to have a drink tonight?”

”Of course! You’ve been drinking too, right? I’ve got a buddy as a designated driver. I’ll drive over to pick you up from town, just wait for me at the bus stop at the intersection. I’ll be there in about ten minutes.”

”OK, see you then.”

Hanging up the phone, Tang Song said a word to his parents, got up, and headed out.

He hadn’t seen Zhang Lei for over six years. He used to be busy with studies and work, indeed neglecting many things.

Now meeting an old classmate again, he felt quite sentimental.

Walking along the smooth cement road to the intersection, he didn’t wait long.

”Beep beep—” The sound of a car horn rang out.

Then, a dusty Harvard H6 pulled up beside him.

The passenger window rolled down, revealing a face shiny with oil and sweat stains.

Zhang Lei patted the car door with a smile, ”Get in, Tang Song! Come on!”

Tang Song nodded, opened the rear door and got in. The smell of alcohol, smoke, and sweat instantaneously filled his nostrils.

”This is my buddy Wang Chaofei, Chaofei, this is my middle school classmate, good friend, Tang Song.” Zhang Lei gave a simple introduction.

The two exchanged greetings.

The car slowly started moving.

Tang Song casually asked, ”By the way, where are we going to drink?”

”How about Quan City?” Zhang Lei turned slightly and said, ”Weren’t you interested in finding out about Zhang Yan? Liu Shasha is now working in the city. Her job keeps her extremely busy, with only a single day off. Just so happens she’s free this weekend.”

”Sure, no problem.” Tang Song nodded lightly, then joked, ”You seem to know her well, are you guys up to something?”

As for Liu Shasha, his old classmate, he only had a vague impression left, probably wouldn’t even recognize her on meeting.
