Perhaps it started that night in Xiang River, under the dazzling lights of Victoria Harbour, after kissing him.

After all, it was her first kiss, and the first time she felt such a strong thrill toward someone of the opposite sex.

But... could this be considered love?

Shen Yuyan chuckled self-deprecatingly, putting away her melodramatic self-pity.

...

The night had enveloped Shanghai.

Wai Tan No.1 Courtyard.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the Huangpu River flowed quietly like a deep-colored satin.

"So... what is Tang Song’s final opinion on Su Yu joining the family office?"

Ouyang Xianyue wore a simple white cashmere lounge set, holding a cup of warm tea.

Her smooth, medium-short hair casually draped down, elegant and aristocratic.

She wore no makeup, her skin remained tight and delicate, seemingly bearing no trace of time.

Mo Xiangwan recalled the conversation on the terrace with Tang Song.

With an unnatural expression, she said, "President Tang said... I can join first."

"Oh... hehe..." Ouyang Xianyue let out a barely audible chuckle, her slender fingers gently caressing the warm tea cup, "He’s always been so clever. It seems he truly values Miss Smile’s opinion."

"Yes, Chairman Jin’s importance to President Tang is indisputable."

Ouyang Xianyue looked at her and suddenly said, "And hearing him say that, you should be very happy, right?"

Mo Xiangwan’s eyes twitched, and she lowered her head to sip the tea, hiding her emotions. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

This time, her core purpose in attending Tian Jing’s birthday party was to probe Tang Song’s attitude.

Yet the outcome was beyond her expectations, and it brought unprecedented joy and complex emotions to her heart.

Since 2019, under her leadership, Tangzong Entertainment, this seemingly glamorous entertainment empire, had no real presence in the entire "Tang Jin System."

Despite efforts made by her and Su Yu, ultimately, it only created a market value of more than eighty billion.

Not to mention comparing to TY Precision, Meditation Capital, even Guyu Biological and Meigou Technology were dozens of times greater.

Therefore, as Tang Song’s "tool" to cultivate Su Yu.

She never dreamed of actually entering that family office, representing the highest power.

This time, her greatest purpose was actually to fight for Su Yu.

Who would have thought, by a twist of fate, this position ended up with her.

Moreover, Wu Kezhi and others were already aware, meaning she had indeed received Tang Song’s promise.

This was undoubtedly Tang Song’s highest recognition of her personally.

However, this made her feel quite guilty toward Su Yu.

Mo Xiangwan raised her head and said, "President Tang has confirmed he will attend the Smile Holding shareholder meeting, what should we do next?"

Ouyang Xianyue put down the tea cup and slowly stood up, walking to the large floor-to-ceiling window.

Looking at the brilliant night scenery outside, she softly said, "My grandfather is hospitalized, and might not make it through this winter. He really wants to see Tang Song again. I’m planning to invite him to Rong City with me at the end of the month, do you think he would agree?"

Mo Xiangwan hesitated, about to say some comforting words.

Ouyang Xianyue suddenly turned back, shaking her head with a light laugh, "Just don’t know what Miss Smile will think when she learns of this, maybe she’ll think I’m trying to steal her man."
