Chapter 49: Chapter 48 [It Has To Be You] Chapter 49: Chapter 48 [It Has To Be You] The private room door was gently pushed open. The portly Sun Jiajie and the tall and thin Wang Dongrui walked in. They immediately spotted two familiar figures. Wang Dongrui’s face was a picture of astonishment. Sun Jiajie instinctively blinked, glanced at Tang Song, then at the sexy and beautiful Gao Mengting, as if he had guessed something. A layer of fine sweat instantly covered his forehead. Just now, he and Wang had been speaking well of Miss Gao in the private room in order to curry favor with Huang Yangming. This shit was just too absurd—it was like getting shot while lying down! He swallowed, hurriedly said with enthusiasm, “President Tang, I had no idea the friend you were waiting for was Miss Gao, this is such a coincidence!” Upon hearing this, a spark of realization flashed across Tang Song’s mind. Gao Mengting had come today to discuss terminating her lease with the property management of Baoyun Center; at the time, Li Yongming also mentioned the Investment and Development Department, but Tang had not thought much of it. It seemed that Baoyun Center was also managed by Cloud Stream Property. In a flash, he thought that their cooperative venture was now a sure thing! He looked at Li Yongming and Gao Mengting, who were both in a daze, and smiled, “It is indeed quite a coincidence.” Both men were slick operators who had been in society for many years and quickly got the gist. Sun Jiajie promptly raised his glass, his tone anxious, “President Tang, I toast to you! Thank you for supporting our work!” “I toast to you as well!” Wang Dongrui immediately followed. After speaking, both men downed their drinks with clean efficiency. Tang Song followed suit and took a sip of tea. Li Yongming, sitting in his chair, felt a rush of heat surge up, turning his face red and his neck thick. He bit his lip hard, and a wave of intense pain swept over him. What the hell was this!? I was just teasing President Tang, and you guys are actually going with it? This was bloody ridiculous! Could they be hired actors? His eyes widened as he looked at the two men, who were indeed leaders from Cloud Stream Property. For a moment, his head buzzed, and the high-quality hardwood chair beneath him felt as if it were on fire. Sun Jiajie exhaled and looked somewhat nervously at Gao Mengting, “Miss Gao, if we’ve upset you previously, I hope you can forgive us.” “Not at all, Supervisor Sun has already helped me a great deal.” Now fully regaining her composure, Gao Mengting immediately stood up, her eyes still showing a hint of disbelief as she looked at the property management leaders. Sun Jiajie’s eyes flickered, his tone sincere, “President Tang, we were unaware that Miss Gao was your friend. Regarding the lease termination, we can discuss everything to ensure your satisfaction. Miss Gao, we will refund your deposit in full, and you also don’t need to pay the rent for the remaining lease term. I’ll get on with arranging this immediately.” Hearing this, Gao Mengting’s mind went blank. They were so quick to compromise on her lease termination, and they treated Tang Song with obvious respect. In the presence of President Huang from Yunli Hotel, they had not shown such deference. The implications of this were self-evident. She glanced at Tang Song without a word and softly said, “Thank you for the help, Supervisor Sun.” “It’s nothing! If you have any issues in the future, Miss Gao, just come to us!” President Tang politely asked, “Would you two care to sit and eat something with us?” Sun Jiajie hurriedly waved his hands, “No, no, we won’t disturb you, we still have business to discuss. We came mainly to toast you, and now we’ll be off.” “Maybe next time.” “Alright! When President Tang is free, I’ll make the arrangements!” “Goodbye.” “Goodbye.” ... The door of the private room clicked shut slowly. Tang Song felt a huge sense of relief in his heart. He had been trying to maintain an image in front of the two property supervisors, which had made his face somewhat stiff. He glanced at Gao Mengting who was still standing there, and smiled, “Boss Gao, now you shouldn’t doubt what I said, right?” Gao Mengting blinked and a radiant smile bloomed on her face. She quickly stepped forward. Raising her eyebrows and the corners of her eyes, she extended her slender, fair hand and said, “President Tang, let’s get properly introduced. My name is Gao Mengting, from Wu Mountain City in Yan Province, a graduate of the marketing management program of Yan City University in the class of ’20. You can just call me Mengting. I’m very grateful for your recognition. I believe our future cooperation will be very pleasant! Our enterprise will also surely shine within the industry, and I will not disappoint you!” Tang Song was taken aback for a moment, then stretched out his hand and shook hers, “Pleasure to cooperate.” The warm, delicate touch of her hand, coupled with their eye contact, caused a slight tremor in his heart. He felt that Gao Mengting had a strong resemblance to Xie Shuyu. A business elite who had earned hundreds of thousands part-time during college, starting from zero to open stores and venture into e-commerce, indeed possessed a unique charm and confidence. She had been betrayed by two good friends before and faced pressure from all sides, putting her in a suppressed state. The confident and spirited demeanor she showed now, might be the true Gao Mengting. Their hands parted. Gao Mengting said with a smile, “President Tang, I have lots of thoughts about the registration and establishment of our company, business planning, and future vision. Let’s talk while we eat.” The opportunity was right in front of her, and as an entrepreneur who had struggled in society for many years, she knew better than anyone what the right choice was. At that moment, she had a strong premonition that she was about to experience a different landscape. Tang Song looked at the spirited Gao Mengting and nodded with a smile, “Alright.” Li Yongming, sitting opposite, clenched his hands together, his face alternating between pale and flushed. He was both worried and uneasy, feeling as though ten thousand ‘grass mud horses’ were stampeding through his mind. Gao Mengting turned her gaze to her uneasy old classmate and said, “Yongming, aren’t you supposed to take a client to see a property later?” “Right, I do need to show a property. I almost forgot.” Li Yongming hurriedly took out his phone to check the time, “It’s almost time. Well, I’ve got to go, goodbye.” After speaking, he rushed out of the private room without even closing the door. Gao Mengting sighed, stood up and closed the door, then apologetically said, “Please forgive him, President Tang. His personality really isn’t likable, but he’s not a bad person. Besides, the matters we’re about to discuss are quite important, and it wouldn’t be convenient with him here.” Tang Song understood her intent and responded with a warm smile, “I’m not as petty as you might think, nor did I take his provocations to heart.” Gao Mengting chuckled, “I guess I was measuring your heart with my petty standards.” “You don’t have to keep calling me President Tang. We are about the same age; just call me by my name.” “That won’t do!” Gao Mengting shook her head firmly and said seriously, “Once our company is set up, and I have my shares, then I can call you ‘Old Tang’ or ‘Young Tang,’ but for now, you must be President Tang!” After saying that, she herself laughed out loud. The two joked with each other for a few moments, and the atmosphere quickly warmed up as they got down to business. Gao Mengting was clearly well-considered in converting a sole proprietorship into a limited company — she was very clear on the procedures for enterprise registration, corporate charters, systems and management frameworks, speaking confidently and with insight. Tang Song watched her quietly. Suddenly, his mind drifted for a moment. The scene of recruiting elite characters in the game seemed very similar to what was unfolding before him. He wondered what they were truly like in the real world. Suddenly, a screen unfolded in front of him. [On April 22nd, 2023, you successfully recruited your first high-quality talent. Her honesty, sense of responsibility, confidence, communication skills, and execution abilities all satisfied you greatly. You believe she is the like-minded entrepreneurial partner you were looking for. Together, you will strive to realize personal dreams and pursuits...] [You have completed the hidden mission “The Right Choice”.] [You have obtained a special item “Project Feasibility Report”.]
