The door to the private room was gently pushed open.

Sun Jiajie, chubby and jovial, and the tall, slim Wang Dongrui walked in. Their faces showed surprise as they recognized two familiar people. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs Nove1Fire.net

Wang Dongrui looked stunned, while Sun Jiajie blinked in disbelief, glancing between Tang Song and the attractive Gao Mengting. He seemed to piece things together, a fine layer of sweat forming on his forehead.

Just moments ago, he and Old Wang had been trying to gain favor with Ms. Gao for Huang Yangming. Now, it felt like a ridiculous turn of events—they were caught in a crossfire!

Sun Jiajie swallowed hard and quickly put on a warm smile. “Mr. Tang, what a coincidence! I didn’t expect the friend you mentioned to be Ms. Gao. This is such a pleasant surprise!”

Hearing this, a flash of realization crossed Tang Song’s mind. Gao Mengting came today to discuss the lease termination with Baoyun Center’s property management, and Li Yongming mentioned the Leasing and Development Department. It appeared that Baoyun Center was also managed by Yunxi Property.

His thoughts raced, and he realized that a partnership for starting a business was very likely now.

He looked at the dumbfounded Li Yongming and Gao Mengting and smiled, “Indeed, it is quite a coincidence.”

The two property managers quickly recovered. Sun Jiajie raised his glass, his tone nervous, “Mr. Tang, let me propose a toast to you! Thank you for your support of our work!”

Wang Dongrui followed suit, “I’ll toast to you as well!”

They both downed their drinks in one go, and Tang Song lifted his teacup and took a sip.

Li Yongming, sitting in his chair, felt a rush of heat to his head, his face flushing red. He bit his lip hard, feeling a sharp pain.

What the hell was going on!? I was just teasing Tang Song, and they took it seriously? This has to be a joke!

He stared at the two men, recognizing them as genuine leaders from Yunxi Property. His mind buzzed, and the high-end wooden chair he sat on felt like it was on fire.

Sun Jiajie sighed, turning to Gao Mengting, “Ms. Gao, if we’ve wronged you before, please accept our apologies.”

“No, no, Supervisor Sun has already helped me a lot,” Gao Mengting quickly replied, standing up and looking at the property leaders with a mix of surprise and gratitude.

Sun Jiajie’s eyes gleamed as he said earnestly, “Mr. Tang, we weren’t aware that Ms. Gao was your friend. Regarding the lease termination, we will handle everything to your satisfaction. Ms. Gao, your deposit will be fully refunded, and you won’t need to pay the remaining rent. I’ll arrange this immediately.”

Hearing this, Gao Mengting was momentarily stunned. They were accommodating and respectful of Tang Song. Even in the presence of Mr. Huang from Yunli Hotel, they hadn’t shown such deference. The implications were clear.

She glanced at Tang Song, her eyes revealing a hint of awe, “Thank you, Supervisor Sun, for your help.”

“No need to thank me, Ms. Gao. If you have any issues in the future, feel free to contact us.”

Tang Song politely offered, “Would you like to join us for some food?”

Sun Jiajie quickly waved his hands, “No, no, we won’t intrude. We still have work to discuss with Old Wang. We mainly came to propose a toast and will take our leave now.”

“Perhaps next time then.”

“Sure, Mr. Tang. When you’re free, I’ll make the arrangements.”

“Goodbye.”

“Goodbye.”

As the door closed slowly behind them, Tang Song felt a great sense of relief. Maintaining his composure in front of the property managers had been somewhat taxing.

He turned to Gao Mengting, still standing there, and smiled, “Ms. Gao, I hope you don’t doubt my words anymore?”

Gao Mengting blinked, her face breaking into a radiant smile. She quickly stepped forward, raising her eyebrows and extending her slender, smooth hand, “Mr. Tang, let’s officially meet. I’m Gao Mengting from Wushan City, Yan Province, a 2020 graduate in Marketing Management from Yan City University. You can call me Mengting. Thank you for your recognition. I believe our upcoming partnership will be very successful! Our enterprise will surely shine in the industry, and I won’t let you down!”

Tang Song was momentarily taken aback, then shook her hand, feeling her warm, smooth touch, “Nice to meet you, Mengting.”

The mutual gaze made his heart tremble slightly. In confidence and charisma, Gao Mengting resembled Xie Shuyu. As a business elite who started a store and ventured into e-commerce from scratch, she possessed a unique allure and confidence.

Previously burdened by betrayal and immense pressure, she had seemed oppressed. But now, her confident and high-spirited demeanor was likely her true self.

They released their hands, and Gao Mengting suggested, “Mr. Tang, I have many thoughts about registering our company, business planning, and future outlook. Let’s discuss them while we eat.”

As someone who had struggled for years, craving success, she knew better than anyone what the right choice was. At this moment, she felt a strong premonition that she would experience something extraordinary.

Tang Song, looking at the spirited Gao Mengting, nodded with a smile, “Alright.”

Opposite them, Li Yongming’s hands were tightly clasped together. His face alternated between white and red, filled with worry and anxiety. His mind raced with a thousand tumultuous thoughts.

Gao Mengting turned to her uneasy old classmate, “Yongming, don’t you have a client to show a house to later?”

“Yes, yes, I almost forgot,” Li Yongming fumbled for his phone, checking the time, “It’s almost time. I’ll be leaving now. Goodbye.”

He quickly jogged out of the room, not even bothering to close the door.

Gao Mengting sighed, closed the door, and apologized to Tang Song, “Mr. Tang, please excuse him. He’s not a bad person, just a bit annoying. Besides, our discussion is important, and his presence would be inconvenient.”

Tang Song understood her meaning and smiled warmly, “I’m not as petty as you think. I didn’t take his provocations to heart.”

Gao Mengting laughed lightly, “Seems I judged you wrongly with a narrow mind.”

“No need to call me Mr. Tang all the time. We’re about the same age; just call me by my name.”

“That won’t do!” Gao Mengting shook her head firmly, “Once our company is established and I receive my shares, I can call you Old Tang or Little Tang. But for now, you must be Mr. Tang!”

She laughed heartily at her own words.

They bantered a bit, quickly warming up to each other and diving into serious discussions.

Gao Mengting had clearly considered transforming her sole proprietorship into a limited company. She was well-versed in the registration process, contract charters, systems, and management structures, speaking with confidence and insight.

Tang Song watched her intently, feeling a momentary daze. It felt akin to recruiting elite characters in the game, reminiscent of the scenes unfolding before him.

The system interface suddenly appeared.
