Chapter 391: Chapter 238: Xu Qing’s Twin Ponytails! Chapter 391: Chapter 238: Xu Qing’s Twin Ponytails! 2:00 PM.
President’s office.
“Ding Dong—” The WeChat notification tone rang.
Two notifications popped up on the computer screen at the sa ti.
[Hu Mingli: “President Tang! President Tang! Wen Ruan is going on a business trip to Imperial City, departing next Wednesday. It’s unclear when she will return!”]
[Zhang Ziqi: “Is the Attractive Man there? Zhuangzhuang just told she’s going on a business trip next week, and she didn’t want to tell you! I think it’s wrong of her, after all, you are her boyfriend and have the right to know!”]
Tang Song stopped his work and clicked on Zhang Ziqi’s chat box.
After thinking for a bit, he replied, “Why didn’t she tell ?”
[Zhang Ziqi: “In addition to the business trip, she’s also attending the wedding of a college dorm mate and close friend. Their dorm has a particularly close relationship, and Zhuangzhuang is the only one unwed. Supposedly, you being her boyfriend, should definitely accompany her to the wedding so her good friends can know about it, but…”]
[Zhang Ziqi: “Anyway, I guess she’s afraid that knowing this would bring you pressure.”]
Tang Song pursed his lips, his mood sowhat complicated.
Wen Ruan, this mature and rational elder sister, always considered his feelings first when facing him.
It seed she couldn’t bear to let him suffer even a bit.
Although he had never asked, her family had definitely given her a lot of pressure about marriage.
Even so, she had never forced him to make any concessions.
Instead, she kept comforting herself, compromising over and over again.
Tang Song sighed and replied, “I understand, thank you Sister Zi Qi.”
“Buzz Buzz Buzz—”
[Hu Mingli: “There are two n and one woman accompanying her, the company has arranged a hotel in Haidian District, I’ll find out the specific na and address soon!”]
Tang Song: “Thank you, Ms. Hu, hard work is appreciated.”
[Hu Mingli: “No, no, no! President Tang, don’t joke with , what ‘Ms.’? I am your loyal and reliable Tech Support Departnt’s Frontend Team Leader, Hu!”]
Seeing his colleague’s response, Tang Song’s sowhat negative mood was imdiately amused.
He was just about to habitually send red packets to the two spies when he suddenly thought of sothing and stopped.
He opened his drawer and took out three concert invitations.
Previously, in order to prepare a surprise for his colleagues, he had taken most of Su Yu’s invitations, and there were a few left here just in ti.
Wen Ruan was departing next Wednesday, just in ti to catch the concert.
After all, being his beloved girlfriend, a little romance was still needed.
Thinking of this, he smiled and ssaged Hu Mingli, “Hu, I’m giving you half a day off this afternoon, co directly to the 30th floor of Cloud Stream Building, I have a private task for you.”
As a major leader of the departnt, he had the final say in the employees’ attendance.
Every month, human resources would send attendance and payroll reports to his email, and he would approve them before implenting.
“Buzz Buzz Buzz—”
[Hu Mingli: “Thank you for trusting , Mr. Tang! I’m setting off right now! Estimated ti of arrival is 20 minutes!”]
Putting down his phone, Tang Song took out a greeting card from the drawer, unfolded it, and laid it on the table.
Picking up a pen, he earnestly wrote a ssage on it.
He then placed the invitation aside the greeting card, breathing a sigh of relief.
He was also about to visit Knowledgeable for a few candidate etings—might as well set the business trip location in Imperial City.
Perhaps he could have a romantic sumr encounter with Big Sister, enjoying a world just for two at the hotel.
Moreover, he could accompany her to a classmate’s wedding.
In Imperial City, he also had many mories and acquaintances.
Of course, he was most looking forward to seeing Secretary Jin.
…
The taxi slowly pulled up to the curb.
Hu Mingli briskly got out and hurried towards the entrance of Cloud Stream Building.
This was the first ti Tang Song had personally assigned her a task, especially of a private nature, showing his imnse trust in her.
This year she was already 27 years old. If it were not for Tang Song’s promotion, she wouldn’t have managed to attain a managerial position in the next few years.
At most, she would have continued until her early thirties before considering a change of industry.
Although she was currently only a Frontend Team Leader, she harbored aspirations to beco a Frontend Director one day!
Jinxiu Comrce was still expanding. Just the frontend alone had doubled its staff.
As the departnt structure improved, the frontend would eventually be singled out, and her chances were significant.
Zhuangzhuang, it’s really not that I, as your best friend, don’t feel for you, but if you truly miss out on Tang Song, you will definitely regret it in the future.
Entering the lavish and luxurious lobby, she registered at the front desk.
With an excited heart, Hu Mingli boarded the elevator.
“Ding—” The elevator smoothly stopped at the 30th floor.
She looked around, noticing only a sign for “Songi Clothing Trading Co., Ltd.”
Many signs stood in the hallway, each marked with clear arrow directions.
Following the signs, she entered the company’s spacious and bright reception area.
The first things that caught her eye were the sophisticated decor and high-end office furniture.
Wow, President Tang’s company is really sothing!
Although not large in size, the style was absolutely fitting!
Next, Hu Mingli’s gaze lingered.
In the rest area to the right of the reception, a row of more than a dozen n and won of different ages sat.
Each of them looked sowhat nervous, holding a docunt in their hand.
“Hello, are you here for an interview?” A gentle voice ca from beside her.
Hu Mingli looked towards the receptionist, a gentle and pretty girl.
In her early twenties, with fair skin and a well-proportioned figure, dressed in won’s professional attire, she looked very approachable.
“Here’s the registration form. Which position are you interviewing for?” The girl handed over an A4 paper.
Hearing this, Hu Mingli quickly shook her head and said, “No, I’m not here for an interview. I’m here to see President Tang, my na is Hu Mingli. We’ve made an appointnt.”
“Oh?” The girl bit her lip, smiled, and said, “One mont, please. I’ll check.”
After that, she picked up the handset next to her and called the president’s office.
The voice gently said, “Hello, President Tang. There’s a Ms. Hu Mingli here to see you.”
“Yes, sure, I’ll bring her to see you right away.”
Having hung up the phone, the girl quickly walked out from the reception desk, her expression sowhat excited, “Ms. Hu, I’ll take you to President Tang’s office.”
“Thank you very much!” Hu Mingli politely thanked her.
Just as she was about to step into the office area, she noticed that the female receptionist headed straight for the main exit instead.
Hu Mingli paused in surprise and quickly followed her.
Walking along the spacious and bright hallway, she couldn’t help but curiously ask, “Beauty, isn’t President Tang’s office inside the company?”
The girl blinked her eyes, her voice full of smiles, “The entire 30th floor belongs to Songi Clothing, and this area is primarily used for receiving interviewees. Oh yes, my na is He Liting, and I’m the company’s host. Due to the high number of interviewees today, I am temporarily helping out at reception.”
Hu Mingli’s mind buzzed, feeling as if the scene before her eyes was sowhat surreal.
The entire floor belongs to Songi Clothing’s office area?
This is the Cloud Stream Building, the top office building in Yan City!
And moreover… Songi Clothing is Tang Song’s startup company.
Walking on the thick, sound-absorbing carpet, passing through the luxurious and grand office area, Hu Mingli felt dazzled.
“Gulp—” She swallowed hard, suddenly understanding her best friend’s feelings.
No wonder Zhuangzhuang was intimidated!
When she first introduced them, she thought Tang Song was just a slightly wealthy and handso young man with good temperant, so she thought about having him pursue her best friend.
If she had known earlier about Tang Song’s capabilities, she would never have dared to introduce him to her best friend.
They were simply not in the sa stratum, and furthermore, Zhuangzhuang was already 30 years old.
“Ms. Hu, we’ve arrived.” He Liting gently knocked on the heavy office door.
“Co in!” A clear male voice ca from inside.
He Liting pushed open the door and sneakily peeked at President Tang’s handso figure, smiling as she gestured with her hand.
Hu Mingli licked her dry lips and walked in with her neck retracted.
The office inside was spacious and bright.
Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, sunlight poured in unreservedly.
A large walnut wood desk occupied the central position, its finish warm and glossy with clear grain.
A notebook, monitor, file rack, coffee cup, globe… were neatly placed on the desk.
On one side of the office was a row of custom-made solid wood bookcases filled with various books.
There was a small bar, a separate reception area, and a resting area…
You could say that this place exuded understated luxury.
It was incredibly impressive!
Having seen the president’s office of Jinxiu Comrce, it couldn’t compare to this place at all.
“Mingli, you arrived really quickly. Please, have a seat over here,” Tang Song stood up and pointed to the sofa in the reception area.
“Okay, okay.” Hu Mingli raised her head, looking at Tang Song in front of her, feeling sowhat blushed subconsciously.
It’s undeniable, this old colleague of her now looked really handso!
His chiseled side profile, high nose bridge, and slightly pursed thin lips appeared exceedingly austere.
The exquisitely tailored shirt clung to his body, displaying his broad shoulders and firm muscles.
Standing in his own CEO’s office, he had an air of confident and towering presence, deep and confident.
He looked just like a dominant CEO from a novel.
The two sat down on the sofa.
Tang Song first chatted with her about the recent situation in the technical departnt, then passed a card over to her.
He smiled, “Mingli, could you please order a set of 99 red tulips from the florist for , and tuck this card inside, and then give it to Wen Ruan after she gets off work.”
“Sure, President Tang, I’ll make sure it’s done beautifully!” Hu Mingli quickly took the card, carefully placing it in her bag.
Tang Song unlocked his phone and fiddled with it, “I’ve transferred money to your WeChat, please check it.”
“Oh.” Hu Mingli nodded, pulled out her phone to check, and her heart pounded, her voice hoarse, “President Tang…did you accidentally add an extra zero?”
“Isn’t Wen Ruan staying over at Sister Zi Qi’s place? You three can hang out tonight, and the extra money can cover the dinner. Oh, and by the way, keep in touch with Wen Ruan more often, especially since she has arrived in Imperial City. I want to know her detailed itinerary.”
“This…alright, thanks, President Tang! You are so generous!” Hu Mingli looked at the 10,000 yuan on the screen, her mind fluttering.
Zhuangzhuang, this is the kind of Attractive Man you’re dealing with; you should just surrender!
…
At 6:50 p.m.
The white Bentley Continental weaved through the crowded streets at dusk.
The shiny car body reflected the orange-red sky, like a burning fla.
It attracted quite a few gazes along the way.
Following the GPS, Tang Song parked the car in the fee-based parking lot outside North City Garden.
He stepped out of the car, and the warm evening breeze of sumr greeted him.
He looked up to see the apartnt buildings of North City Garden.
It’s a relatively new residential area, completed just two years ago, with excellent property managent.
Traffic segregation is well enforced; external vehicles couldn’t enter the residential area at ground level.
Tang Song walked toward the east gate of the complex while he sent a ssage to Xu Qing, letting her know he had arrived.
“Buzz buzz buzz—”
[Xu Qing:”(*￣︶￣) I’m right at the east gate. You’ll see when you get here!”]
Walking along the bustling sidewalk, it took less than a minute for Tang Song to see the east gate of the complex.
However, he did not spot Xu Qing.
Just as Tang Song was about to call her, a shout of “Ah!” ca from behind a nearby pillar.
Imdiately afterwards, Xu Qing, making a funny face, jumped out.
She grinned and said, “Hehe, did I scare you?”
Tang Song looked at Xu Qing in front of him, his eyebrows twitching.
Pigtails, tight clothing, playful makeup.
She completely matched his mory of her from college, combined with her cute expressions, it was full of nostalgia.
Great job, Xu Qing! You’re not just here to attract investnt, you’re aiming for an IPO!
