Chapter 928: Chapter 389: The Origin of Qingning Technology’s Name (Part 2)

”President Tang.” Mo Xiangwan turned to look at Tang Song and said softly, ”There are some things I’ve always wanted to discuss with you. Since we met today, is it convenient?”

Tang Song nodded and said, ”Sure.”

Mo Xiangwan smiled gently, patting Liu Qingning’s arm, ”Qingning, I heard you really enjoy listening to music. The new round of guest performances is about to start, and Pei Yanke will be on stage. I’ve arranged a seat in the front row for you. Would you like to take your friends to listen?”

Liu Qingning glanced at Tang Song and whispered, ”Okay, thank you, President Mo.”

”No need to be so polite with me.” Mo Xiangwan gestured to the staff beside her.

Soon after, Liu Qingning and her two friends were led towards the front row.

Xiang Kai stood frozen in place, his gaze lowered. He gritted his teeth but chose to quietly step back.

All he could think about now was how to minimize his own presence.

Both he, his parents, and many relatives worked in the entertainment industry.

There are some people you absolutely cannot provoke.

”Tap—”

The chair in the middle of the front row was gently pulled out.

Liu Qingning and her friends cautiously sat down.

Looking back, Tang Song had already left the main venue with Mo Xiangwan, heading towards the private rest area.

Liu Qingning withdrew her gaze and scanned the surroundings; they were full of celebrities, renowned individuals, and heads of investment companies.

However, at this moment, all those people looked at them with nothing but friendliness and eagerness.

Reflecting on the events just moments ago, it was still a bit hard to believe.

”Qingning!” Liu Shuang, suppressing her excitement and shock, whispered, ”Tang Song... what exactly is going on with Tang Song?”

Li Ziyin took a deep breath, holding her hand, ”I always thought he only collaborated with Pei Yanke and Bei Yuwei at work, but I didn’t expect him to be a shareholder of Tangzong Entertainment? An entertainment tycoon?”

”In 2017, Tangzong Entertainment was just starting out, right? How did he manage that?”

”And he was just a freshman then, where did he get the money?”

Listening to her two friends’ questions, Liu Qingning’s mind was also a bit muddled. She shook her head and said, ”I... don’t know. I didn’t really keep in touch with him much during university.”

”Alright then...”

Liu Shuang and Li Ziyin exchanged a look, not continuing to press further.

This evening, over the course of more than an hour, was undoubtedly the most exciting experience of their lives.

Originally, they thought attending the All Stars banquet would be an inconspicuous affair.

Yet, it was full of unexpected twists and turns.

On stage, the host reappeared.

After a passionate introduction, the elegantly dressed Pei Yanke took the stage.

She sang a hit song from a few years ago by Su Yu.

As the lead singer of Echo now, her voice, technique, breath, emotion, and stage presence were impeccable.

She instantly energized the atmosphere in the venue.

But Liu Qingning was not in the mood to appreciate this outstanding performance at all.

She sighed deeply, her heart in turmoil.

In retrospect, she realized she really didn’t understand Tang Song well enough.

Each conversation in university was about urging him to study and discuss new technologies in the computer industry, future developments.

Due to poor family conditions, she also took up some programming-related part-time jobs through classmates and teachers during winter and summer vacations.

She was confident because she knew he liked her and knew he would come to the Imperial City.

Later, he gave up postgraduate exams and joined Meigou Technology, while she started a venture with Professor Wang Chang and others.

Seed round, angel round, round A.

Good news after good news, orders coming in, rising valuations, salaries one after the other...

Repeated positive reinforcement, to the point of being a bit arrogant.

In her imagination, Tang Song should be like in senior year of high school, studying hard every day, preparing for exams, and working.

She immersed herself in the vision of her own value, prioritizing career and making money, confidently planning Tang Song’s future.

Yet she didn’t realize that the boy who made a pact to meet at the peak was also constantly changing and moving forward.

Those three years in the Imperial City might have been his way of wanting to accompany her in the old way and re-adjust with her.

It seemed she unintentionally let down his expectations and also caused him hurt.

Looking at it this way, it seemed almost understandable that his feelings for her had changed.

If their roles were reversed, if she were in Tang Song’s position, perhaps her feelings would change too.

...

In the independent rest area outside the concert hall.

Tang Song and Mo Xiangwan sat opposite each other, his gaze curiously assessing this ”Agent” from the game.

In reality, this was only their second meeting, and his mind was still filled with novelty.

A shirt, pencil skirt, and striped suit made her look elegant and capable, her eyes bright and sharp.

After all, as the SR character he had personally nurtured, everything about her was pleasing.

Whether in appearance or ability, she was outstanding.

Just like her impressive evaluation in the game.

Her character was resilient and composed, with superb skills and excellent leadership, high intelligence and emotional intelligence, a broad perspective, and deep loyalty.

Initially, Tangzong Entertainment was nothing more than a part of his ”Star Cultivation” game and an early-stage cash cow.

The fact that it grew step by step into the gigantic group it is today could not have happened without Mo Xiangwan’s relentless dedication.

Noticing Tang Song’s slightly excessive gaze, Mo Xiangwan discreetly tilted her legs and smiled, ”Is President Tang about to give a critique of my outfit today?”

”Very beautiful.” Tang Song sincerely complimented.

”Thank you!” Mo Xiangwan’s smile widened, ”This is the first time I’ve heard President Tang compliment my appearance, I’m flattered. It’s worth noting that President Tang looks very handsome and dashing today. If Yu were here, she definitely wouldn’t be able to walk away.”
