Imperial City, Building 8, Hesheng Xiaoyun Road.
Building 3, 520 square meter large flat, inside the independent executive office.
The computer screen flickered with a dense array of data charts and documents.
On the video conference screen, overseas team members appeared one by one, reporting the progress of work clearly and forcefully.
"Knock, knock, knock!" A somewhat urgent knocking sound was heard.
Secretary Jin slightly furrowed her brow, muttered something, and muted the video conference.
Immediately after, personal assistant Shangguan Qiuya walked in quickly, holding a tablet in both hands, and stood in front of the desk.
"Go ahead, what’s the matter?"
"Chairman Jin, President Tang just sent an email regarding the security issue you mentioned earlier, I think it’s very necessary to report to you."
"Oh?" Secretary Jin looked slightly dazed, her full chest gently heaving, she stood up from behind the desk and walked out.
Shangguan quickly handed over the tablet.
Secretary Jin took the tablet and gently adjusted the glasses on her nose.
Her eyes quickly scanned through the information.
"Where is Liu Jiayi now?"
"As per your arrangements, she has been staying in Yan City, currently mainly responsible for the security services of YJTC and Shengyuan Good Place communities."
"Then let her be the driver, go to Quan City now, and have the Jindun team take over the security services of Yunjing Platform. You handle the specific details, I don’t want to see any accidents happen."
"Okay, I’ll arrange it right away." Shangguan Qiuya’s heart tightened.
"And!" Secretary Jin paused and continued: "Afterwards, there’s no need to notify me of any news regarding Liu Jiayi, let her serve President Tang well, and keep all information and movements confidential from outsiders, including me."
The office door was gently closed as Secretary Jin returned to her desk.
She casually picked up the steaming black coffee beside her, took a sip, and resumed the video conference.
But the team elites across the ocean noticed that Chairman Jin seemed to be in a suddenly cheerful mood.
Her tone was gentle, her posture relaxed, and even her speech slowed down.
Huajing Restaurant, in a slightly noisy corridor.
"Wow, Tang Song! It’s really you! You’ve changed so much! I almost didn’t recognize you." Zhang Lei’s eyes widened in surprise as he looked at the handsome guy in front of him.
Tall and upright, full of energy, smooth and delicate skin, and wearing clothes that were clearly expensive.
His aura was exceptional, looking like a big star.
In his impression, although Tang Song was always quite handsome, he was never as dazzling as he is now.
Tang Song showed a bright smile, stepping forward and putting an arm around Zhang Lei’s shoulder.
"I just saw our junior high school photos yesterday, and today I bumped into you, what luck."
Mentioning luck, his heart moved slightly.
Could it be that the recently gained [Luck+1] has taken effect?
Zhang Lei exclaimed: "Ugh, after moving several times, I don’t even know where my junior high school photos are now."
"I’ll take pictures and send them to you digitally later."
"Come on, it’s rare to bump into each other, let’s exchange WeChat, it used to be all about QQ, now I can’t even remember my QQ password."
Zhang Lei touched his beer belly, then looked at Tang Song’s well-proportioned and fit body.
He clicked his tongue and said: "I used to think our looks were about the same, but over the years, I’ve gone downhill, while you’ve gotten even more handsome, I’m envious."
"I used to be quite chubby too, but I got better after working out."
The two chatted nostalgically as they added each other on WeChat.
In junior high, Zhang Lei was the most prominent "rich second generation" in the class.
To say "rich second generation" was a bit exaggerated.
His father was a contractor, who made a lot of money from engineering due to favorable national policies and a good environment at the time, making him indeed a wealthy man in that era’s town.
Zhang Lei had a great lifestyle, spending lavishly, with new smart phones and all sorts of gaming devices.
He was considered the most popular boy in school.
However, judging from today’s Zhang Lei, he seemed to have been through some tough times in recent years.
"By the way, Tang Song, are you still developing in the Imperial City? You seem to be doing well, these clothes must be expensive, right?"
Earlier, Zhang Lei had met some former classmates, among whom there were people from the same village as Tang Song, so he knew a bit about his recent years’ progress.
He went to a top university and after graduation, joined a major internet company.
Tang Song gently shook his head and said: "I left last November, currently starting a business in Yan City doing live-streaming sales."
"Oh? Starting a business with live-streaming sales? Damn! Awesome!" Zhang Lei patted his arm, full of envy: "Really impressive! No wonder you look so well-arranged and spirited.
Do you remember Wang Yunpeng from our class? That kid was like a hyperactive patient before, mixed around aimlessly after junior high.
Now he’s become a small internet celebrity by making short videos, even bought a Mercedes-Benz last New Year!
It’s undeniable that for ordinary people, becoming an internet celebrity through live streaming is the most probable way for a breakthrough these days."
Tang Song seriously tried to recall, his memory was vague.
He could roughly remember such a person, but couldn’t recall his face.
He vaguely remembered that his studies were terrible, frequently shouting in the class, and often verbally harassing female classmates.
He even had conflicts with him because of his deskmate Zhang Yan.
Thinking of Zhang Yan, Tang Song felt a slight touch in his heart and asked: "By the way, Zhang Lei, do you know how Zhang Yan’s doing now? Where is she developing?"
After the high school entrance exam, Zhang Lei and Zhang Yan both studied at the second high school, so they should have had more contact than himself.
Zhang Lei thought for a moment and said: "Zhang Yan? I really don’t know her current situation, it’s been two or three years since I last saw her. Wait, shouldn’t you know better than me?"
