Chapter 1880: Chapter 632: The First Love Begins to "Turn Dark"_3

Academician Ouyang Chengping dedicated his life to the country and its people, likely exhausting his body due to years of intense work.

Now that his time is running out, it is probably due to the natural deterioration of his physical functions.

The effects of the [Ganlu Spring Pot] can be said to perfectly match the need.

Originally, Tang Song intended to give this pot as a gift to his father.

But now, it seems his father will have to wait a bit longer.

After all, his father’s health has always been good, and he has regular check-ups.

...

Shen City, Qingning Technology Building.

42nd floor, Qingmi AI office area.

In the general manager’s office, Liu Qingning was sitting in front of the computer, focused on reviewing a technology collaboration document concerning [Xuanji Light Realm].

"Knock knock knock—"

The sound of knocking echoed as Administrative Director Xiong Wen walked in briskly.

"President Liu, the Tangzong Entertainment people are here, waiting for you in the Q1 negotiating room."

Liu Qingning’s fingertips paused slightly on the touchpad, then she lifted her head with a smile, "Okay, I’ll head over right away."

She stood up and began gathering her things.

Earlier this morning, she received notice that Tangzong Entertainment would be sending core representatives to discuss the collaboration regarding "Xuanji Light Realm," hoping to have the first formal meeting with her.

The meeting was originally scheduled for tomorrow but was moved to this afternoon because she needed to fly back to Quan City tomorrow morning to prepare for her birthday.

After the meeting, both sides would have dinner together.

She invested unprecedented attention and energy into this project.

This was the first time in her career she independently led such a significant cross-industry collaboration.

It was also the best opportunity to prove her value to everyone, including Tang Song.

Moreover, she hoped to use this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of Tangzong Entertainment.

To learn about that "past" belonging to Tang Song, in which she had never participated.

Of course, more importantly... was Su Yu.

As she pondered, she found herself unconsciously arriving at the door of the Q1 negotiating room.

Liu Qingning took a deep breath, adjusted her expression, and pushed open the heavy frosted glass door.

The negotiating room was bright.

Beside the sofa stood two middle-aged men in suits, appearing distinguished.

"Hello, I am Liu Qingning, the product manager of Qingmi AI. We have spoken on the phone before."

She was the first to speak, her voice clear and pleasant, with a standard smile on her face.

The leading man immediately approached, "Hello, President Liu, I am Zhou Mingkai, Director of Strategic Development at Tangzong Entertainment. This is my colleague, Zhuo Bo."

The three exchanged brief pleasantries.

Zhou Mingkai and Zhuo Bo simultaneously turned their gazes with awe towards another side of the negotiating room.

Liu Qingning was taken aback and turned to look as well.

Her heart skipped a beat, and her smile vanished instantly. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window was a graceful and alluring figure.

When Liu Qingning looked over, her gaze met that of the figure.

"Thump thump thump—"

Liu Qingning’s heart was racing as if it would leap out of her chest.

Unexpectedly, Su Yu appeared in front of her, catching her off guard.

Unlike their previous distant "encounter" at Shencheng Bay No. 1, Su Yu was now without a mask or hat, fully exposed under the lights.

She wore a simple white dress, yet on her, it seemed more breathtaking than any haute couture.

What kind of face was it?

Exquisitely refined bone structure, vibrant and lively features, skin delicate as fine jade...

Her beauty was purely "divine" without any need for adornment.

The dazzling cityscape outside the window paled in comparison to her.

Footsteps sounded.

Su Yu walked towards her, her body embodying perfect proportions, an impeccable waist-to-hip ratio, exuding an overwhelming allure.

Their distance quickly narrowed to less than a meter.

Due to a height difference of 10 centimeters, combined with Su Yu’s presence, Liu Qingning felt an intense pressure.

"Hello." Su Yu’s distinctively sensual voice resonated, balanced with a unique rhythm, "I am Su Yu, pleased to meet you."

She extended her hand proactively, slender and fair, like a piece of art.

Liu Qingning pressed her lips together, her pride buried deep within her, and stiffly extended her hand to gently shake Su Yu’s.

"...Hello, Liu Qingning."

Her voice was dry and unfamiliar even to herself.

Upon seeing Su Yu, Liu Qingning couldn’t help but start evaluating herself.

Evaluating her features, figure, skin, aura...

Apart from having a fuller bust, she admitted defeat.

This realization was more profound and harmful than any verbal assault.

She once swore that if Tang Song found a better partner, she would willingly let go.

But faced with Su Yu’s presence, she couldn’t bring herself to accept it.

Their handshake lasted a full 5 seconds.

Su Yu withdrew her right hand and smiled sweetly, "I happened to be in Shen City shooting a promotional video for my new album, so I came along with Director Zhou. I personally find AR technology fascinating, and I hope I wasn’t intrusive."

"Of course not," Liu Qingning took a deep breath, "I’m a fan of yours and am eagerly anticipating the release of your new album."
