Chapter 628: Shen Yuyan's Little Scheme, Serving My King
Chapter 628: Shen Yuyan's Little Scheme, Serving My KingNovember 14, 2023, Tuesday, clear sky.
At 6:30 a.m., before dawn.
Shen Yuyan opened her eyes, her consciousness gradually clearing.
Outside, it was pitch black, but the biting cold that had been in the air the past few days seemed to have vanished.
She stepped barefoot onto the floor, feeling the warm touch beneath her feet.
Tomorrow was November 15th;
the neighborhood heating would start then.
After a simple half-hour workout and a hot shower,
Shen Yuyan began to carefully wash up, take care of her skin, and apply makeup.
The sky outside showed the first light of dawn.
She changed into a dark gray fitted workout outfit. Walking to the balcony in the living room, she used the natural morning light to adjust her angle and took a selfie full of alluring charm.
After a little photo retouching, she sent the picture to Tang Song.
Her message read: "Morning, Boss~ Another day full of energy! Today's work plan is..."
As an ambitious assistant, she was eager to replace Lin Muxue’s position.
Since Lin Muxue was about to travel abroad recently, it gave her the perfect chance to prove herself.
After receiving Tang Song’s reply and exchanging a few emojis,
Shen Yuyan smiled contentedly, put down her phone, put on her sneakers and coat, and stepped out.
The late autumn morning had few people on the street;
the air was bleak and chilly.
The plane tree leaves had fallen halfway from the branches, forming a thin golden carpet on the ground.
She picked up two breakfast takeouts and returned to her rented apartment.
She woke her best friend up, and they ate breakfast together.
Shen Yuyan then returned to her room.
She opened her computer and began organizing materials for today’s roadshow.
Her role as the “special assistant” was not just for show.
In the month-plus since joining, Tang Song had genuinely assigned her a lot of work.
Besides standing in for Tang Song at investment due diligence meetings with two AI tech companies, she had been deeply involved with Rongliu Capital’s investment analysis department. ᚱᴀNȫ𝐁Еṩ
Screening and uncovering early-stage projects with “unicorn” potential.
Today’s event was a high-tech project roadshow organized by the Yan Province Development and Reform Commission.
Among the attendees were two highly regarded hard tech companies, personally invited by her and the Rongliu team after multiple rounds of screening.
She would act as Tang Song’s “eyes” and “ears,” accompanying him throughout and deeply participating in subsequent research and investment phases.
She didn’t quite understand why Tang Song, already possessing a powerful platform like Rongliu Capital and surrounded by bigshots like Wu Kezhi and Anne Kate, still paid so much attention to these early-stage projects in such a raw state.
But she knew this was exactly where her greatest value lay, and the main reason Tang Song had recruited her.
If one day Tang Song no longer needed her to handle these matters, then her role as a special assistant would lose all meaning.
Therefore, unlike Lin Muxue, she constantly felt a sense of urgency and crisis.
At 8:20 a.m., Shen Yuyan changed into formal professional attire.
She swiftly packed project files, her laptop, a voice recorder, and a stack of her new business cards into her commuter bag.
A black Audi car was already waiting downstairs.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped outside the East Gate of Yanjing Tiancheng.
After registering at the guard station, Shen Yuyan entered the community and headed to Building 1.
With the help of the property manager, she took the elevator directly to the 20th floor.
Standing in front of the dark double armored doors, she tidied her appearance and gently pressed the doorbell.
Soon, the door opened, revealing a tall and agile figure.
Shen Yuyan immediately showed a bright smile. “Good morning, Jiayi.”
“Morning, Assistant Shen,” Liu Jiayi nodded and stepped aside.
Shen Yuyan changed into guest slippers and walked in.
In the living room, she saw Tang Song reviewing documents on a tablet.
His perfectly sculpted profile, with a high nose and thin lips, outlined gently and clearly in the morning light, exuded breathtaking charm.
Shen Yuyan pursed her lips and gracefully walked over to Tang Song, greeting softly, “President Tang.”
“Morning, Shirley,” Tang Song looked up and gestured, “Have a seat.”
As he spoke, a fresh scent of perfume wafted over.
Then, a warm and soft touch landed on his thigh.
Shen Yuyan sat down closely beside him.
Tang Song glanced at this scheming campus belle and revealed a meaningful smile.
Shen Yuyan showed no change in expression.
She opened her briefcase, took out printed documents, and handed them over. “President Tang, here is today’s roadshow agenda and key points.”
Tang Song casually took them and began to flip through.
Shen Yuyan leaned slightly forward, her straight hair draped over his arm, and whispered additional details like a breath of orchids.
After finishing the roadshow briefing,
she suddenly seemed to remember something, a self-mocking smile appearing on her face.
With a joking tone, she said, “Come to think of it, our first reunion since graduating from Tian University was at an investment roadshow. Too bad back then I didn’t realize your strength. Otherwise, I would have jumped right at you to hug those golden legs of yours!”
As she spoke, she actually slid off the sofa.
Dropping to one knee, she jokingly embraced Tang Song’s thigh.
Her full chest pressed against his knee, forming an enticing curve.
Looking at the fresh-faced campus belle, Tang Song recalled the scenes from that time and couldn’t help but smile wryly.
Back then, as the technical lead for Weiguang Coffee, he had accompanied Xie Shuyu to the event and met this ambitious campus belle by chance.
Shen Yuyan had been confidently presenting on stage, full of youthful vigor—a vivid memory.
Suddenly, he reached out and pinched her chin, scrutinizing her delicate, fresh face.
Shen Yuyan’s body stiffened, a thin mist rising in her eyes as she boldly met Tang Song’s gaze.
Their eyes tangled in the air, heating up.
The atmosphere suddenly became intensely ambiguous.
Just as Shen Yuyan thought he might do something impulsive, the slender hand suddenly relaxed.
Her heart instantly flooded with an inexplicable sense of loss.
That damn Sigma man!
He attacked others directly but had so many little tricks when it came to her!
With a flicker in her eyes, she rose and suddenly said, “President Tang, there’s still some time before the roadshow officially starts. How about... I take you to visit Youjie Household Services? Give me a chance—I’ve always wanted to show you some of my entrepreneurial achievements. How about it? Satisfy my little vanity?”
Hearing this, Tang Song raised an eyebrow. Observing her expression and gaze, his sharp insight told him that this invitation from the campus belle was far from simple.
Instead, it piqued his interest, wanting to see what interesting things this scheming campus belle could pull off.
“All right.” Tang Song’s lips curved upward as he lightly flexed his knee.
Feeling the unusual contact on his chest, Shen Yuyan let out a soft breath and shyly stood up.
Adjusting the strands at her temples, she followed Tang Song outside.
Soon, the Rolls-Royce Phantom rolled out of the underground garage and merged into the streets of Yancheng’s late autumn.
Finally, it stopped beneath an old-looking commercial building facing the street in the Qiaoxi District.
They got out of the car and entered the building, taking a creaky old elevator to the fifth floor.
Turning left, the four characters “Youjie Household Services” came into view.
“President Shen! You’re here!”
The receptionist girl hurried over, sneaking a glance at Tang Song before shyly lowering her head.
“It’s nothing, I just came to take a look. You all keep busy.”
Shen Yuyan smiled and led Tang Song inside.
The workstations were packed tightly, keyboard clicks and phone rings intermingled;
several customer service reps were taking orders while typing rapidly on their computers.
Looking at the familiar surroundings, Shen Yuyan’s eyes flickered with deep emotion.
More than a year ago, when Youjie Household Services moved from the free entrepreneurial base provided officially to this office building,
the excitement, dreams, and ambition were still vivid in her mind.
This place was indeed her greatest pride, built entirely by her own efforts.
And today, bringing Tang Song here,
gave her a strange feeling,
like she was showing off to a guy she liked.
Shaking her head, Shen Yuyan reined in her emotions.
She quietly introduced the place to Tang Song.
“This is the employee training area. We also independently developed a *Star-Level Maternity Matron Certification System*. Over here is the honor wall. Speaking of which, we’ve won quite a few awards these past two years...”
The office wasn’t large;
soon they reached the innermost part.
“This is the meeting room.” Shen Yuyan pointed to the frosted glass door. “Meixia is interviewing inside. Wang Ning left last month, and we’re recruiting new tech staff. I’ll go say hello.”
With that, she gently pushed the glass door open and stepped inside.
Inside the meeting room, the man and woman talking immediately stopped.
“Yuyan, you’re here!” Li Meixia happily stood up.
“Meixia.”
The interviewee’s eyes brightened sharply upon seeing Shen Yuyan and he stood as well, his face filled with undisguised surprise. “Campus belle Shen... President Shen, hello.”
Shen Yuyan looked him over, raising an eyebrow playfully. “You are...?”
Li Meixia quickly introduced, “He’s also a fellow alumnus from Yan University, Computer Science Department, Du Shaokai. He’s here interviewing for the backend developer position.”
Du Shaokai immediately straightened his back, wearing a self-important smile. “On New Year’s Day 2018, at the student union party, I performed guitar and singing on stage. President Shen, you were hosting then. Do you still remember?”
Seeing this sexy, elegant, even more charming campus belle than in college, his heart instantly blossomed.
He had been extremely unlucky lately, utterly jinxed.
First, he was laid off from Jinxiu Commerce. Then, barely getting in through connections at Lingruan Tech, he was fired during probation.
He switched to sales, only to be laid off again!
Unexpectedly, Youjie Household Services actively invited him for an interview and things went smoothly.
Now, running into Shen Yuyan, the stunning campus belle, his mood instantly brightened.
He felt his bad luck was finally coming to an end.
However, Shen Yuyan calmly said, “Sorry, no recollection.”
“Uh…” Du Shaokai’s smile froze, embarrassed and at a loss for words.
But it was understandable.
This campus belle was always aloof and proud.
At his level, he never really had the right to interact with her in college.
They only occasionally exchanged a few words at events.
Just then, Shen Yuyan spoke again, her tone laced with a mysterious smile, “By the way, Meixia, let me introduce you to a bigshot.”
She turned and opened the meeting room glass door.
A tall, upright figure appeared in view.
His dark cashmere suit outlined perfect broad shoulders and a slim waist;
his light shirt collar slightly loosened;
the whole man was handsome and upright, his eyes calm but carrying a unique pressure.
At the moment Du Shaokai saw his face, his body suddenly stiffened, as if frozen by a spell, the color draining visibly from his face.
Tang... Tang Song?!
Shen Yuyan turned slightly, elegantly gesturing toward the man at the door. “You’ve been asking me where I went after leaving Youjie Household Services, right?”
“There.” She pointed at Tang Song, her face blooming with a bright smile, tinged with a bit of pride. “This is my new boss. Currently, I’m President Tang’s special assistant.”
Upon hearing this, Du Shaokai’s eyes widened sharply.
His worldview seemed to collapse.
Shen Yuyan had actually become Tang Song’s assistant?!
How was this possible?! How the hell was this possible?!
Tang Song nodded lightly to Li Meixia, his gaze calmly sweeping over Du Shaokai’s shame-flushed face, showing no surprise or shock.
He had already understood everything outside the door.
At his current level and mindset, he naturally didn’t truly care about this minor character like Du Shaokai.
If it weren’t for today’s dramatic “chance encounter,” he might have already forgotten about this “old acquaintance.”
However, this scene deepened his understanding of the scheming campus belle beside him.
He turned his head and glanced at Assistant Shen standing with her hands folded, wearing a perfect professional smile and respectful posture, a meaningful curve on his lips.
Campus belle Shen was really interesting and knew exactly how to manipulate a man’s psychology.
She made his former “enemy,” standing there in a wolf’s posture, see the admired campus belle as his assistant.
This dramatic role reversal and dimensionality reduction strike brought a huge impact.
From a man’s perspective, it would greatly satisfy vanity and possessiveness.
Du Shaokai stood there flushed and embarrassed like a clown, helplessly watching Tang Song, with Shen Yuyan obediently accompanying him, chat briefly with Li Meixia.
Then, without another glance, he turned and left.
His whole body was stiff inside the meeting room, hands and feet cold.
At some point, Li Meixia’s distant voice came from nearby: “Du, today’s interview will end here. Wait for our notice at home.”
Du Shaokai nodded stiffly, then shivered violently as he snapped out of it.
His dry voice asked, “President Li… Shen... how did she become... his assistant?”
Li Meixia glanced at him and sighed, “She is now the special assistant to the chairman of Rongliu Capital, already a senior executive, far more powerful than our small shrine called Youjie Household Services’ general manager.”
This was a genuine sentiment.
She sincerely admired the partner and alum’s insight and decisiveness.
Du Shaokai no longer remembered how he left the office.
When he came to his senses, he was downstairs at the office building.
The late autumn wind blew, but he felt no chill.
Not far away by the roadside, a black, solemn Rolls-Royce Phantom was quietly parked.
Shen Yuyan was slightly bent over, elegantly opening the rear door for Tang Song.
In the sunlight, her figure was exceptionally sexy.
For a long while, until the luxury car silently merged into traffic and disappeared,
he only then seemed to snap out of it, picking up his phone and searching the keyword “Rongliu Capital.”
Immediately, a stream of news headlines seemingly from another world popped up.
Buzz———
His mind went blank.
......
At 6 p.m., the sky had darkened.
Lan Feng International luxury apartment, 30th floor.
Anne lazily leaned against a velvet sofa.
Her golden wavy hair casually draped over her shoulders;
her powerful long legs crossed, tracing breathtaking curves.
One hand held an amber wine glass;
the other dialed an overseas call on her phone.
“Beep beep—”
The phone rang twice and was quickly answered.
“Anne, my darling, what a surprise! I can’t believe you called me first.”
From the receiver came a magnetic male voice with a typical Upper East Side accent, full of undisguised joy.
Anne shook her wine glass and warned, “Morris, call me Anne. Just Anne!”
On the other end, Morris Mellon was stunned, then immediately switched to a coaxing tone. “Okay, my bad. What happened? Who upset you?”
Anne’s eyes narrowed. “At a boring party, a man named Conrad Mellon hit on me. You need to teach him a lesson, a harsh lesson. You know what I mean?”
She didn’t care about that fool.
But daring to hit on her in front of Tang Song, especially at such a sensitive moment,
she had to make him deeply repent. It was easy for her.
Morris was silent for a moment, then said seriously, “Of course, Anne. I promise he’ll never appear before you again.”
“That’s better.”
Morris continued, “Anne, you’re in Huaxia now, right? It must be evening there. Guess what? I just bought a new yacht, a beautiful Riva. We can video chat later. I’ll give you a tour. Also... I want to see sexy, beautiful Miss Anne.”
“Oh, darling, no need.”
Anne laughed lightly, the sound full of teasing.
She stood up and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the city already lit up for her.
Her icy blue eyes ignited with roaring flames.
“Because tonight... I’m going to serve my king, haha.”
......
The black Rolls-Royce Phantom glided through the city neon lights and slowly stopped beneath the Lan Feng International apartment building.
“Goodbye, President Tang.” Shen Yuyan stood by the car door, waving at him with a regretful expression. “I originally wanted to see if there was a chance to have a candlelight dinner with you and exchange work insights. Didn’t expect you already made plans with Luna.”
Her tone carried the subordinate’s regret over a missed opportunity, mixed with a subtle, almost imperceptible touch of female jealousy.
Tang Song smiled and suddenly said, “Then why not come in and eat together?”
“Uh...” Shen Yuyan’s eye twitched. “I won’t disturb your private time with Luna. The two hard tech companies we met today have huge potential. I need to strike while the iron is hot and immediately prepare a detailed preliminary report to put on your desk first thing tomorrow morning.”
She knew Lin Muxue’s personality too well.
If she really went upstairs, with that kind of provocation, that woman might mess around with Tang Song right in front of her.
Then, should she watch or not? Stay or leave?
That would be terribly awkward.
“All right, thanks for your hard work. You did well today. Keep it up.”
Tang Song winked and lightly patted her waist, then stepped into the apartment lobby.
After the Double Eleven shopping festival,
Songmei Apparel’s performance was guaranteed 100%.
His Third Stage Growth Plan mission now only had the final task: ③ Capital Hunter.
And only one company left.
Recently, he had been having the Rongliu team and Shen Yuyan monitor related information, even locking in several target companies.
However, finding companies with true “unicorn” potential was not easy, and he even wasted durability once on “Tang Song’s Draft Paper.”
Next, he planned to participate in as many quality companies as possible to increase his chances.
With some luck, he might finish the task soon and directly start the Fourth Stage Growth Plan mission.
While pondering,
“Ding—” The elevator slowly stopped at the 20th floor.
Tang Song stepped out and walked quietly along the thick carpeted corridor until he reached room 2002.
“Beep—”
Tang Song opened the door and went inside, changing into slippers as he moved further in.
The living room was warm and bright.
The air was filled with a blend of food aroma, red wine, and feminine fragrance.
At once, a tall, graceful figure entered his sight.
The beautician stood in the center of the living room, gently dancing to soft music.
She wore a highly designed dance outfit: a tight strapless top on the upper body and a matching high-slit silk skirt below.
Black over-the-knee stockings outlined her milky, full “wineglass legs,” creating a black-and-white absolute territory.
Her long hair was softly curled;
her lips were fiery red;
her already stunningly beautiful face, carefully made up, radiated intoxicating allure.
Hearing the noise at the door, Zhao Yaqian paused but didn’t stop dancing.
She slowly turned, her eyes, usually filled with pure love, now clouded with mist.
With a deliberately crafted, hazy flirtation, she looked in Tang Song’s direction.
At this moment, the 19-year-old beautician seemed transformed into a sexy demon fallen to the mortal realm.
Pure youthful innocence and ultimate seduction formed a strange and captivating balance on her.
Seeing this “canary” dancing just for him,
Tang Song felt dry-mouthed, his heart uncontrollably racing.
Zhao Yaqian said nothing, only extending a slender, delicate arm;
her wrist lightly twisted, fingertips fluttering like butterflies.
Then she spun lightly, winding around him like a vine.
Her warm, soft body pressed close;
the high slit skirt brushed his leg, carrying the silk’s unique cool and smooth texture.
The long, slender legs wrapped in black stockings coiled around his waist.
Tang Song could clearly feel every curve and the hot body temperature of the beautician.
His heartbeat quickened.
“Brother Song, like it?” Her voice was coquettish, with a deliberately lowered husky tone.
“I do.”
Tang Song bent down and kissed the beautician’s red lips forcefully, his hands sliding over the stocking-clad wineglass legs.
The fragrance optimized by the item “Glamorous Allure” carried a passionate, alluring aftertaste that ignited all his senses the moment it entered his nose.
The beautician responded softly.
The two entwined in the spacious living room.
Just then, from the direction of the master bedroom came crisp footsteps: “Tap, tap, tap.”
Tang Song raised his head and looked toward the sound.
He saw Xiaoxue walking out of the hallway.
She wore a black silk slip dress with black pantyhose below.
Her long, straight legs shimmered enticingly under the light.
Her honey-colored hair was tied in a neat high ponytail;
her eyes were cool with a hint of playfulness.
“Looks like I came at the wrong time?”
Tang Song waved to her with a smile. “No, you came just in time.”
