Tang Song’s gaze slightly focused, looking at Jiang Yourong in front of him with astonishment, "Assistant?"
But it’s quite normal, the achievements and assets in the game are reflected in reality, so his figure will inevitably appear in the development of these industries.
As Chairman Jin’s secretary, if Jiang Yourong never met him even once, that would be suspicious.
River View Courtyard Restaurant, in the deluxe private room on the second floor.
Silk-based mural walls, exquisite carved screens, mirror-like marble tiles, uniquely styled chandeliers...
The entire setting was filled with a tasteful ancient elegance.
On one side of the private room, there was a full floor-to-ceiling window.
Offering a clear view over the beautiful riverside scenery.
On a midsummer night, the distant buildings seemed faintly visible in the night.
Lights reflected on the river, creating shimmering waves.
Noticing the approaching footsteps, Xie Shuyu withdrew her gaze and turned around.
A black V-neck sleeveless top paired with an A-line skirt perfectly highlighted her superior figure proportions.
She looked both elegant and fashionably stylish.
"Sis, are you okay? You know what my mom is like, sometimes she can’t control her mouth, don’t take it to heart."
Her cousin Xie Chunying came over full of apologies, gently hooking her arm.
Xie Shuyu shook her head, "It’s okay, it’s not a big deal, I’m just finding an excuse to come out for some fresh air."
Xie Chunying then smiled, "That’s good, don’t rush to leave later, I brought you a gift from the United States, it’s in the car trunk."
"Okay, let’s go back, or else people might think I threw a tantrum again."
Xie Shuyu chuckled and bypassed the reddish-brown carved screen, returning to the banquet hall.
At the elegant and sophisticated solid wood round table, ten people sat, with male and female, old and young.
All were relatives on Xie Shuyu’s father’s side.
Among them was a foreign guy with high cheekbones and curly hair, dressed formally with a big smile, looking handsome.
This was Andrew Mescal (安德鲁·麦斯卡), Xie Chunying’s boyfriend.
They returned from the United States two days ago, adjusted the jet lag for two days, and tonight were brought by their aunt to meet relatives, to get acquainted.
Seeing them return, Aunt Zeng Yan smiled, "Yu, I misspoke earlier, but Aunt is thinking for you, hoping that you can live more comfortably in the future."
Mrs. Xie held her daughter’s hand and said clearly, "Both Yu’s dad and I just hope Yu stays safe, nothing else matters. If she wants to find someone, then find someone. If not, she can live her life freely."
Zeng Yan’s eyes twinkled, she laughed, "Our Xie family’s two daughters are both outstanding, I also hope Yu has a better life.
By the way, hasn’t your company been looking for financing? Andrew happens to work at an investment company, ask Sakura to contact him, maybe something will come up."
Xie Chunying tugged her mom, blushing a bit, "Mom, Andy (Andrew’s nickname) just started, he doesn’t have such authority yet."
"Not now, but who knows about the future, I see Andrew as very promising, he’s an employee of a major international investment group, impressive."
"Thank you, Aunt," Xie Shuyu smiled nonchalantly.
In her heart, she understood what her aunt was implying.
She and her cousin Xie Chunying were both outstanding.
But she had always been a bit ahead, especially since she is much older than her cousin.
She was always the one praised by relatives.
During holidays and festivals, her grandparents would give her bigger red envelopes than others.
Later, she successfully started a business, drove million-dollar luxury cars, bought big villas in Yan City and Quan City, had broad connections, and could arrange jobs for relatives.
She had become the family’s prominent "star," everyone treated her with respect.
Every gathering revolved around her; even the dishes ordered would ask about her taste.
Aunt Zeng Yan didn’t say anything outwardly, but surely felt uncomfortable inside.
Now, after studying abroad, her cousin found a great job in Shanghai and brought back an excellent and handsome foreign boyfriend, naturally wanting to show off.
The meaning was probably: my daughter is also excellent, in the future, you can’t just focus on Yu.
"Dingdong—" the WeChat notification sounded.
Xie Shuyu picked up her phone to take a glance.
[Jiang Yourong: "Shuyu, are you still having dinner there? Roughly when will it end?"]
Xie Shuyu: "Probably another half hour, you can stay a bit longer at the spa."
[Jiang Yourong: "Okay, understood."]
Jiang Yourong raised her head, sincerely saying, "I’ve told you everything I know, Tang Song, we’re friends, so I’m honest with you. I bear no malice towards you, nor will I pry into your relationship with Smile Holding."
What she intended was nothing more than to get closer to Tang Song, hoping that one day she could be taken under his wing.
Returning once again to her original path.
"I understand, Sister Yourong," Tang Song exhaled.
"By the way, there’s one more thing," Jiang Yourong’s gaze shifted, "Shuyu is having a meal with friends now, probably ending in about half an hour.
Recently, her company’s financing failed, making her quite upset, since you’re in Quan City, you can go chat with her."
She had already gathered detailed information about Tang Song from Xie Shuyu.
As a friend, she didn’t mind helping to spur things along.
The only concern was the relationship between Chairman Jin and Tang Song.
If they were lovers, it seemed unlikely to her.
If Tang Song truly had a girlfriend like Chairman Jin, how would he have time to idle in Yan City, work part-time for Xie Shuyu, accompany her to venture capital meetings, and retreat to the teacher’s apartment for study?
