Charm point maxed out, inheriting game assets

Chapter 1474: Chapter 529: Investors’ Night 1 (Bonus Chapter)_2

As for the core team members leaving?

Ren Mingyuan is not too worried. For instance, his junior, Wang Ning, who also graduated from the Computer Science Academy, has privately discussed many things with him.

Wang Ning is full of longing for Win-win Technology, a tech company on the brink of going public, and previously held strong opinions against Hou Shaoyuan and Zhang Tianqi.

As long as he extends an olive branch and gives certain promises, the other party will definitely agree.

However, doing so would consume a lot of time and resources, and might even require enduring prolonged litigation and disputes, with potential outcomes not arriving until next year, making it a losing deal.

But who made Wang Yubo angry? As a major shareholder of Win-win Technology and an executive at Mingjian Capital, leading the C+ round, his words represent the company’s will.

The neon lights on both sides of the Huangpu River gradually lit up.

Ren Mingyuan gazed intensely at the distant river through the car window, his eyes reflecting a complex and profound glimmer.

Class ascension has always been brutal, particularly under the crushing weight of capital, where grassroots entrepreneurs’ struggles often appear insignificant and futile.

Hadn’t he also blazed his own trail through obstacles?

To secure a footing, he chose to compromise with capital, even at the cost of parting ways with ”good friends” and partners who fought alongside him, kicking them out of the company, ascending to his current position with difficulty.

And Shen Yuyan... she had the chance to achieve her goals more effortlessly, yet chose this thorny path instead.

...

Outside Coastal Science Garden.

Sun Jiayue and Zhang Nuo walked side by side out of the residential area, quietly waiting by the road on the right side of the gate.

After a while.

”Are they almost here?” Zhang Nuo’s tone was a bit anxious, frequently checking the time and glancing toward the distant intersection.

Sun Jiayue brushed back her wind-blown hair with her hand, reassuringly saying, ”They’ll be here soon, just wait a little longer.”

Zhang Nuo sighed softly, complaining under her breath, ”These wealthy people are different. They clearly agreed upon a meeting time but left us here to blow in the wind. I even told my boss we should gather at the check-in area by 4:40.”

Unlike Sun Jiayue, she works as an investment analyst in a large financial services institution (Kai Feng Wealth).

For this event, she was attending as an assistant alongside her boss, mainly tasked with aiding client coordination.

She naturally hoped to arrive early to avoid disruptions in the schedule.

In fact, the news about the ”Investor’s Night” event first reached Sun Jiayue through Zhang Nuo.

Subsequently, Sun Jiayue successfully secured an invitation through company channels.

”Don’t worry; we definitely won’t be late,” Sun Jiayue reassured softly.

Zhang Nuo puckered her lips, slightly disappointed, ”It’s really a pity. I wanted to take the opportunity at the party to talk more with Tang Song, sigh—”

Sun Jiayue’s expression stiffened slightly, but she managed a forced smile, ”Things just suddenly changed. Besides... on second thought, having him pretend to be a ’tech nouveau riche’ might be a bit risky. He’s not familiar with the circle, and I fear it might be awkward.”

Zhang Nuo rolled her eyes, mumbling, ”What’s so embarrassing about that? Haven’t you noticed? Wherever Tang Song goes, he navigates with ease, practically radiating a kind of halo.”

She sported a hint of girlish shyness, ”To be honest, I find him very charming, not just good-looking, but also mature in his speech, totally unlike the ordinary programmer you mentioned.”

Sun Jiayue gently patted her shoulder, playfully saying, ”Alright, Nuonuo, stop daydreaming. Tang Song and Liu Qingning have a great relationship; they’ll end up together sooner or later.”

Initially, before meeting, Sun Jiayue thought Tang Song wasn’t a match for Liu Qingning; but upon interaction, her views changed.

They actually make a good pair, and Tang Song is far more outstanding than she imagined.

Top-tier looks are a scarce resource, and now coupled with his demeanor and conversation, his future is undeniably promising.

”Oh, stop with your nonsense!” Zhang Nuo feigned annoyance, giving her a gentle shove, ”It’s just admiration! Hmph, if Tang Song really pursued you, wouldn’t you be tempted?”

”I’m not as shallow as you.” Sun Jiayue, though claiming this, inadvertently conjured an image of Tang Song standing composed by the river in her mind—tall and poised, seemingly born for the spotlight.

If such a guy were to court her... it would indeed be hard to resist.

Just then, a phone call disrupted the brief silence.

Sun Jiayue glanced at her phone, quickly answering, ”Hello, Pengyuan.”

”Alright, Nuonuo and I are by the gate here.”

After hanging up, a black Mercedes-Benz Maybach came into view.

Under the sunset, the car gleamed with understated luxury, its sleek lines outlining a kind of solemn nobility.

The vehicle rolled to a stop in front of them.

The driver’s window slowly lowered, revealing Xu Pengyuan’s beaming face.

”I’m playing chauffeur today. Jiayue, you sit in the front, and Nuonuo and Brother Liu in the back.”

Soon after, the rear window rolled down, revealing Liu Jing, calm and composed.

”Good evening, Brother Liu. This is my friend, Zhang Nuo,” Sun Jiayue politely introduced.

”Brother Liu.” Zhang Nuo nodded obediently.

Liu Jing gave them a slight nod, ”Get in.”

The two responded affirmatively, carefully seating themselves inside.

The car interior was spacious, with soft leather seats, and a faint woody fragrance in the air, making the surroundings quite comfortable.
