The social square was brightly lit, the entire space dazzling as if it were dayti.
A faint scent of champagne and the taste of exquisite snacks lingered in the air, with guests gathering in groups of three and five.
Low conversations, laughter nonstop.
"After the check-in, guests usually co to the welco cocktail area. This is the pre-warming stage of business networking, mainly to break the ice, catalyze, screen information, and pre-match resources," Sun Jiayue stood next to Liu Jing, her tone professional and composed, "Brother Liu, this way please."
She wore a sharply tailored business suit, her makeup was exquisite, and her gestures exuded the poised aura of an elite in the workplace.
Liu Jing had one hand in his pocket, appearing calm, "The scale of this event is indeed quite large. It seems the investnt circle in Shanghai is indeed quite active."
Xu Pengyuan knew he was soone with a "high-profile" nature, and with a smile, responded, "Indeed, Brother Liu, a representative of industrial transformation investnt like you will certainly attract a lot of attention here. Jiayue and I both have so connections, and we’ll introduce them to you when the ti cos."
Sun Jiayue nodded, adding, "Moreover, many individual LPs are here tonight, and even so family office representatives have co, sharing common topics with Brother Liu."
Liu Jing raised his eyebrows, quite pleased.
Though he could tell they were flattering him, he indulged in it, finding it rather amusing.
"How’s your preparation going? Any special targets?"
Sun Jiayue lightly brushed aside a strand of hair by her temple, smiling slightly, "I’ve already made a list, mainly so LPs who might be interested in our fund. Of course, it ultimately depends on the communication effect on-site, which ans I’ll have to trouble Brother Liu for help."
"Haha, let’s go. Since I took the invitation from soone else, naturally I must deliver on my word."
Sun Jiayue pursed her lips, "Thank you, Brother Liu."
In her mind, she couldn’t help but think of Tang Song, and the Lamborghini he drove with VIP invitations.
Instinctively she glanced around but did not spot his figure.
As the crowd beca denser, Sun Jiayue spoke up and led the two towards a small circle.
Her gaze fell upon two people.
One was a representative from the Tianhong family office, the other was an LP from Qihang Capital, both of whom were on her list.
The three stood on the periphery for a short while before seamlessly blending in.
Sun Jiayue presented herself very professionally, highlighting her identity while subtly conveying her worth and intentions.
With Liu Jing’s assistance, she introduced the tech fund currently being raised.
Of course, Sun Jiayue did not expect to secure a client in such a short ti.
Her goal was more about establishing connections early, taking the opportunity to move around and exchange during the cocktail party, laying the groundwork for future visits.
To her relief, Liu Jing, although sowhat pretentious, was fairly reliable in his work.
Moreover, being genuinely wealthy and from the rich second generation, his manner of speaking and doing things naturally carried a certain flair that made it easy for her to make headway.
In just over ten minutes, after engaging with three or four circles, she had acquired five business cards.
"How’s it going?" Xu Pengyuan approached her, his mouth displaying a slightly smug smile, "The people I’ve introduced to you are reliable, right? Absolutely more suitable than your high school classmate."
Sun Jiayue pursed her lips, nodded, and said, "Thank you, Pengyuan."
The guilt she felt towards Tang Song lessened considerably.
After all, now that it is October, the fourth quarter is the critical ti to dash for performance.
To complete tasks, to avoid being eliminated, she had to go all out.
Everything had to be results-oriented.
Though when they t later, it might be slightly awkward.
At this mont, Liu Jing ca over holding a cup of champagne, "Jiayue, Pengyuan, there are executives from Redwood and IDG over there. How about we get acquainted?"
Sun Jiayue and Xu Pengyuan exchanged a glance, their expressions awkwardly saying, "Brother Liu, it’s not appropriate for us to approach directly, it’s better if we find an interdiary for the introduction, or wait for the later evening segnt?"
"Oh? Is that so..." Liu Jing raised his eyebrows, his expression sowhat displeased, "What kind of interdiary is needed then?"
He perceived the coded ssage, which ant he was not qualified enough.
Sun Jiayue pursed her lips, "Brother Liu, don’t misunderstand, I don’t an it like that. It’s just that these are truly top figures in the investnt circle and they might be more accustod to formal introductions for establishing connections."
Xu Pengyuan quickly approached to clink glasses with him, smiling to smooth things over, "Brother Liu, you know everyone’s quite particular about propriety in such settings."
Liu Jing was evidently a bit displeased and didn’t chat with them anymore, instead walked into a small circle with his champagne.
Xu Pengyuan opened his mouth, awkwardly standing there.
Sun Jiayue saw this scene and sighed with resignation in her heart.
These rich second-generation benefactors are really hard to please.
The key is, if she truly had the qualifications to socialize with these big shots, why would she worry about fundraising quotas?
Wouldn’t it be better to directly transfer to these top capital consortiums?
That’s her dream!
Currently, she’s only a fundraising specialist at Hengyue Investnt, a small-to-dium private equity fund with low brand influence in the industry.
Her identity is highly "unequal" when facing these top-notch guests during the event.
Only by leveraging public sessions (keynote speeches, roundtable discussions), or utilizing indirect relationships, could she possibly establish communication with them.
After a while.
The voice of the host ca over the hall broadcast, announcing: "Honored guests, welco to the Investor Night Smart Future event. The main venue is about to open, please follow the staff’s guidance to enter in an orderly manner."
