Charm point maxed out, inheriting game assets

Her tone was extremely natural.

Yet it made Xie Shuyu feel flattered, ”You’re too kind, thank you.”

She never imagined that the extremely busy Miss Ouyang would actually understand in advance, even remember her taste preferences.

It was obvious she had investigated her beforehand.

Thinking of this, her heart tightened suddenly.

Subconsciously, she glanced at Tang Song beside her.

If Miss Ouyang and Tang Song really had that kind of ambiguous relationship.

Then, what was her identity in coming here today?

Tang Song’s girlfriend?

If that’s the case, then would Miss Ouyang...

At that moment.

A piece of bass fish without any fine bones appeared on her plate.

Tang Song’s magnetic voice sounded in her ear, ”Sister Shuyu, try this blue pepper stewed bass, it’s tender and not spicy, should suit your taste.”

”Mm... okay...”

Xie Shuyu gently picked up the piece of fish with her chopsticks, looked up, and secretly glanced at Miss Ouyang opposite her.

The female entrepreneur in the silver-white cheongsam was elegantly sipping a spoon of soup with her head lowered.

The light cast on her profile highlighted her delicate skin, calm brows, and eyes.

Her lips held a barely noticeable smile, seemingly indifferent to the scene.

Only then did Shuyu relax and put the piece of bass fish into her mouth.

The fish was tender, with a rich numbing aroma.

”It’s really delicious,” she said sincerely.

Before she could put down her chopsticks.

She saw Tang Song pick up another piece of rich fish belly and place it directly on Ouyang Xianyue’s plate.

”Ouyang, try this too.”

Ouyang?!

Xie Shuyu’s hand trembled, nearly losing grip of her chopsticks.

She looked up in surprise, almost unable to believe her ears.

Tang Song actually called her ”Ouyang”?!

This was more than presumptuous.

In their circles, the way you address someone is a definition of status.

And Tang Song’s casual tone was almost like addressing an ordinary friend.

She immediately looked at Miss Ouyang opposite her.

But saw that not only was she not angry in the slightest, but a charming, shy smile appeared on her face, as she picked up the fish and took a small bite.

Shuyu’s intuition as a woman told her.

The relationship between these two was more special than she had imagined.

...

The dinner unfolded slowly in such an ambiguous and subtle atmosphere.

Ouyang Xianyue naturally started discussing Glimmer Coffee with Xie Shuyu.

From new product development, supply chain systems, to brand value building and member system optimization.

Her tone was neither hurried nor slow, without a trace of superiority.

But instead, discussed the future strategies of new consumer brands with Xie Shuyu from the perspective of an experienced mentor.

The more she listened, the more Xie Shuyu admired her.

She was already intelligent and sharp, and could tell the depth of this female entrepreneur’s thoughts.

Miss Ouyang’s perspective was entirely from a ”top-level design” point of view.

Every word was like the finishing touch, both an advice and a direction.

When talking about brand long-termism and cash flow management.

Ouyang Xianyue lightly clinked glasses with her, her gaze gentle yet strong.

”Building Glimmer Coffee from scratch to its current scale is a remarkable achievement in itself.

Entrepreneurship is not based on inspiration, but on continuous rationality.

You have this trait, we are actually alike in that sense.”

Xie Shuyu paused, feeling a surge of emotion in her heart.

Carefully, she said, ”Thank you Miss Ouyang for your encouragement, I will continue to work hard and not let you down.”

Tang Song smiled lightly and casually added, ”I have that feeling too, Sister Shuyu’s style of work is actually a lot like yours before.”

Ouyang Xianyue’s eyebrows raised slightly, her gaze playful, ”Oh? Are you saying she’s like the younger me? Haha... are you reminding me that I’m getting old?”

Xie Shuyu felt a sudden tension.

Tang Song noticed the slight teasing in her tone, looked casually into her eyes.

He laughed lightly, ”Of course not, you are in your prime, still very young. I meant the courage not to retreat in the face of difficulties, and the logic in doing things.”

Ouyang Xianyue pursed her lips in a light smile, ”Alright, thank you for the compliment.”

The atmosphere turned gentle and relaxed again.

Xie Shuyu also breathed a sigh of relief.

The light flickered across the faces of the three at the dining table.

Soon, under Ouyang Xianyue’s guidance, the topic began to turn personal.

She put down her glass and asked, seemingly unintentionally, ”Shuyu, I remember your birthday is in February of ’91, right?”

”Yes, that’s right.”

”Then... I guess we’re from the same generation.” Ouyang Xianyue glanced at Tang Song beside her, and her tone carried a hint of the sentiment of reminiscing the past, ”When I was in college, the most popular TV series were ’Struggle’ and ’Soldiers Sortie’, and we were still listening to Sun Yanzi on our MP3 players. At that time, Taobao just started, there was no Tmall. Nokia was still the dominant force in the mobile phone industry, and everyone wanted an N95...”

Her words instantly stirred Xie Shuyu’s youthful memories.

The two continued chatting, back and forth, about the animes, stars, and pop culture of their era...

Ouyang Xianyue’s conversation was elegant, her social finesse precisely judged.

She knew when to listen, when to respond, and transitioned topics naturally.

Her tone was gentle with a touch of humor.

Xie Shuyu was also a master in social occasions, sensitively capturing the emotional rhythms in her words, and followed the conversation naturally.

The more they chatted, the more they felt connected.

During this time, Xie Shuyu also successfully helped her friend Meng Ran get Ouyang Xianyue’s signature, along with a personal message.
