"Thank you, Brother Li!" Qian Lele and her classmate politely bowed in thanks.

They opened their document folders and checked the contents: ID badges, health certificates, student IDs, part-time contracts, and more.

The two female students exchanged smiles, clearly in high spirits, "We'll be leaving now, goodbye."

Qian Lele also took the initiative to say goodbye to Tang Song, "Goodbye."

As he watched them leave, HR specialist Brother Li chuckled, "So, you're Tang Song. Director Xie mentioned you several times. Didn't expect you to be so handsome. Take your time to review the contract, and feel free to raise any questions."

"I have no issues. Let's go ahead and sign it."

The contract was a standard template and not very long, so Tang Song quickly read through it. The salary was 3,000 yuan per month, so there was no need to clock in, but he had to address any issues promptly, with payment on the 5th of each month. The confidentiality agreement was more complex, with numerous clauses protecting company and client data, given the importance of the data in the mini-programs he developed.

"Alright, did you bring your ID and bank card?"

"Yes, I have them."

"Great, sign here and put your fingerprint, and I'll make copies."

About seven or eight minutes later, everything was processed, and Tang Song received a document folder, adding Brother Li on WeChat for further communication.

Brother Li warmly said, "Director Xie's office is at the end of the corridor. She's currently in a meeting with Director Zhang. You can wait in the lounge next door; there's free coffee and snacks."

Thanking him, Tang Song left the HR office and walked into the lounge area. It was spacious and warmly decorated. He found a spot to sit and curiously looked around. Besides seating and tables, there was a bar facing the floor-to-ceiling windows with numerous high stools.

"Buzz, buzz—" His phone vibrated.

It was a message from Hu Mingli: "Yes, on the 15th floor of Huayun Center Building B, Guangying Media. What's up? Planning a big move? Thinking of sending flowers?" Newest update provided by novel※fire.net

Tang Song replied, "No, I just wanted to learn more."

Hu Mingli encouraged him, "Go for it. Don't hesitate. Seize the moment!"

They chatted briefly, and Tang Song got up to the bar area, looking out at the building opposite through the large windows. He was in Building A on the 15th floor, directly facing the company where Wen Ruan worked. What a coincidence! It seemed they were fated to meet.

While he was lost in thought, an angry middle-aged man's voice echoed from the hallway.

"I disagree! Changing the café's operation model without consulting us is irresponsible to the other two shareholders!"

"Doing this increases costs and puts financial pressure on the company. I invested in Shimmer Coffee for stable returns!"

"If we can't raise funds, so be it. The current setup is fine. The company makes a profit every year, and we get our dividends. Is it necessary to take such a risk? Who will bear the consequences if it fails?"

...

Following the voice, Tang Song saw a balding, overweight middle-aged man storm out of the general manager's office.

Immediately after, the tall and elegant Xie Shuyu came out, calmly watching him leave. Seeing Tang Song, she hesitated for a moment.

"Hi, Sister Shuyu," Tang Song greeted her with a bright smile.

Seeing this poised and charming woman again, he felt only a slight ripple of emotion, no longer the self-doubt and timidity he once had. He admired her beauty with clear, bright eyes.

The sound of high heels echoed as Xie Shuyu approached, "Xiao Song? It's been a month, and you've changed quite a bit!"

Tang Song laughed, "Not much, just some effective weight loss."

Xie Shuyu's eyes brightened as she looked him over, her face showing a hint of surprise. The last time they met, she knew he was losing weight, but the results were astounding. His tall, well-proportioned body, broad shoulders, narrow waist, and handsome face made him stand out. He was an outstanding young man.

Nodding lightly, Xie Shuyu smiled warmly, "Let's go to my office to talk."

She turned and walked ahead, her graceful figure swaying slightly, exuding charm.

They sat in the spacious, bright office's reception area. Xie Shuyu poured tea for Tang Song.

"Thank you," Tang Song said, taking a sip and asking, "Sister Shuyu, what did you want to discuss with me?"

"Our Shimmer Coffee branches in Yan City will start offering baked goods after the holiday, so we'll need to add some product data to the mini-program."

"No problem. Just send me the detailed product information and photos by category, and I can quickly add them to the backend, displaying them in the statistics as well."

When creating the mini-program, Tang Song had anticipated this, ensuring it could support additional product categories beyond coffee.

Xie Shuyu continued, "Over the years, our company has always operated as a business café, offering coffee and light pre-made snacks. While the customer base is stable, it has its limitations. I plan to make some changes and add more store types. The mini-program will need to differentiate based on location, which might be a bit complicated."

She then took a requirements document from her desk and explained her ideas in detail. Her communication skills were excellent, speaking clearly and logically. The document also included many mind maps.

Tang Song quickly grasped her ideas and offered solutions and suggestions.

After more than half an hour, Xie Shuyu sat up straight, her eyes gleaming as she studied him. As a seasoned professional, she valued a person's spirit more than their appearance. The transformation in Tang Song was remarkable, far from the timid, silent techie she remembered.

Feeling her intense gaze, Tang Song lowered his head slightly, staring intently at her long, fair legs.

After a moment of silence, Xie Shuyu said, "I have an important investment conference coming up, with key company members attending. The mini-program you're responsible for will be part of the presentation. I want to invite you to join us. Don't worry, I'll pay double your lost wages for taking time off."

She hadn't initially planned this, but today's Tang Song made a great impression. Young, handsome, with bright eyes and confident demeanor, he was more impressive than many seasoned professionals. In this state, coupled with his tech expertise, he would be a valuable asset for their company.

Looking at Xie Shuyu's graceful, beautiful face, Tang Song was about to speak when a crisp system notification sounded in his ear.

"Ding! You have triggered the side task [Investment Conference]. Please check the task center for details."

Without immediately checking the task details, Tang Song nodded, "I've never attended an investment conference before. I'm very interested. Thank you for the opportunity, Sister Shuyu. I'll definitely be there."
