Liu Xuwen quickly took out a stack of documents from a safe and handed Song Nanqiao a brand-new pen.
Song Nanqiao carefully reviewed the contract, paying attention to every detail.
Suddenly, Song Nanqiao spoke up, “Do you only want to manage real estate?”
While real estate was profitable, Song Nanqiao was a versatile talent. She could manage real estate, entertainment, fashion, and even the high-end automotive industry with ease. A good company couldn’t rely solely on one industry. It needed to diversify across different markets, engage with various peers, and ensure that even if one sector suffered a setback, other subsidiaries would keep the business secure.
“Do you want to manage anything else, Miss Song?”
“The entertainment industry.”
“Is it because of Miss Wen?”
Liu Xuwen hesitated for a moment; he knew that Wen Wenyao was planning to enter the entertainment industry, and she already had some popularity.
“That’s part of it. Another part is that I have experience in managing the entertainment industry, and I’m sure it won’t incur losses.”
In her previous life, Song Nanqiao managed the top entertainment company in the industry, nurturing numerous celebrities who had achieved widespread success.
So, Song Nanqiao was confident and experienced in this area.
“But right now, ROT dominates the entire entertainment market.”
“It doesn’t matter; that’s not a big deal.”
“Miss Song is very confident, unlike me.”
“You’re flattering me.”
The two of them chatted for a while longer.
“When can I start?”
“Today is fine. I have some matters to discuss with Miss Song,” Liu Xuwen said.
With that, he took out a stack of documents. He was planning to consult with Song Nanqiao regarding some issues with the company’s superiors and a recent batch of land acquisitions.
These pieces of land had caught his eye for a long time, but his competitors were also interested, making the competition fierce. Liu Xuwen didn’t have full confidence in securing them, so he wanted to seek advice from Song Nanqiao.
Song Nanqiao glanced at the documents and focused on one particular abandoned residential area.
“New pieces of land should naturally be acquired, but this one can be considered. The purchase price isn’t expensive, and I think it has potential.”
Song Nanqiao had a keen eye. Although the abandoned residential area didn’t have the best location within the city, it had unique geographical advantages that could be leveraged for developing boutique hotels. If they were patient, they could wait until the city’s development reached that area. Then, by constructing some commercial buildings around it, the land could become a commercial hub, making even more profit.
Song Nanqiao glanced at Liu Xuwen and could see that he currently had 900 million in capital. However, she couldn’t simply invest this money; it depended on Liu Xuwen’s thoughts.
“Then, I’ll go with Miss Song’s suggestion,” Liu Xuwen said, nodding while looking at the photos in the documents.
He had a similar plan, but he hadn’t dared to confirm it. Since Song Nanqiao shared the same idea, he thought it was worth a try.
The two of them continued to discuss other company matters. Liu Xuwen was the type to ask when he didn’t understand something, and he kept asking Song Nanqiao questions. Soon, it was afternoon, but both of them were so absorbed in their work that they didn’t feel hungry.
“It’s getting late; maybe Miss Song should go back and rest,” Liu Xuwen said, sounding somewhat embarrassed about how many questions he had been asking.
“Alright, I could use some rest too.”
Over the next two weeks, Song Nanqiao worked diligently, often starting early in the morning and staying late at the office, helping solve various issues. Liu Xuwen didn’t disappoint her and actively participated in numerous social events and auctions, acquiring the new pieces of land and residential areas that Song Nanqiao had her eye on. Through these transactions, they spent a significant amount of money.
During this period, Song Nanqiao managed the company’s stocks, while Liu Xuwen consistently invested money. As a result, the balance sheet was in Song Nanqiao’s favor.
One afternoon, Wen Wenyao called. At that moment, Song Nanqiao was busy working on some proposals.
“What’s up?” Song Nanqiao held her phone in one hand and a computer mouse in the other.
“I have final exams tomorrow,” the girl said, her voice contemplative.
Lately, Song Nanqiao had been calling her less frequently, which had led the girl to overthink things at times. She worried she might be too clingy.
“Good luck on your exams,” Song Nanqiao said gently.
She had been extremely busy with work during this period.
She had momentarily forgotten that Wen Wenyao had exams coming up, and she calculated the timing, realizing that it was likely the final exams for high school students.
“I was thinking…” The girl seemed somewhat anxious, clutching her clothes and hesitating to make a request.
“I’ll agree to anything you want,” Song Nanqiao said. Work was work, but her girlfriend’s wishes were paramount.
“After I finish my exams, will you come to pick me up? Is that okay?” The girl seemed to relax a bit after hearing Song Nanqiao’s response. A heavy stone that had been weighing on her heart was finally lifted.
“Of course, that’s fine.”
“Then, please come to pick me up at noon the day after tomorrow.” Wen Wenyao said softly, her tone becoming slightly more cheerful.
“Sure, good luck on your exams, my dear.”
“Okay… Can I have a kiss?” The girl sat in her office, blushing slightly, and asked somewhat shyly.
“Yes.” Song Nanqiao kissed the phone gently in response.
The sound reached the girl’s ears, causing Wen Wenyao’s heart to beat faster.
Once the call ended, Wen Wenyao picked up her books and focused on studying. She knew Song Nanqiao would pay extra attention to her grades, and she didn’t want her girlfriend to think her academic performance was fluctuating because of her.
Two days later.
Song Nanqiao arrived at the school gate on time.
Since it was just after the final exams, there were many parents gathered outside. Fortunately, it was winter, so the weather wasn’t too hot. Otherwise, standing in a crowded place like that for a long time would have made Song Nanqiao uncomfortable.
Wen Wenyao: “I’m in the classroom; come help me pack my backpack.”
Song Nanqiao: “Hmm.”
As soon as the school gate opened, Song Nanqiao entered.
Walking in the school corridors, Song Nanqiao suddenly felt a sense of nostalgia, as if she hadn’t been here for a long time.
She passed by the entrance of Class F by chance and peeked inside. Class F seemed to have changed quite a bit, with students sitting in an orderly manner at their desks, working on their assignments.
Of course, some students in Class F noticed Song Nanqiao’s presence. Before she had a chance to walk away, the classroom erupted in a discussion.
“Wasn’t that Song Nanqiao just now?”
“I haven’t seen her at school since that incident with Qin Ruixi.”
“Is she here to attend Class F?”
The students in the classroom were discussing animatedly, but Song Nanqiao didn’t pay them any attention.
She walked to the entrance of Class A, where the teacher was currently absent, and the students were packing up their assignments on their own.
Song Nanqiao glanced inside and spotted a girl sitting by the window. The slanting sunlight cast a warm glow on the girl’s cheeks, and with the gentle breeze blowing in, the scene became somewhat picturesque.
The girl seemed to notice Song Nanqiao’s gaze, raised her head, and their eyes met.
Wen Wenyao’s eyes lit up, and she put down her books before happily rushing toward Song Nanqiao.
“Be careful.” Song Nanqiao hugged her waist carefully, afraid she might stumble.
Before Wen Wenyao could say anything, the classroom erupted with a burst of “eek~~” sounds. [1]
In an instant, Song Nanqiao felt a bit embarrassed and quickly let go of Wen Wenyao.
She kept repeating in her mind.
“I didn’t corrupt high school students…”
“I didn’t create chaos among high school students…”
Most of the students in the classroom had their eyes on Song Nanqiao, observing this legendary figure.
Due to Wen Wenyao’s fame, along with Song Nanqiao’s name, the news spread throughout the entire school. Many people who hadn’t seen Song Nanqiao before were curious about what she looked like. They wondered what kind of person could capture the heart of the school’s beauty.
“Let’s go quickly,” Song Nanqiao didn’t quite like all this attention.
“Don’t be shy; they all know you’re my girlfriend.”
Wen Wenyao didn’t seem to mind and even tiptoed to kiss Song Nanqiao on the cheek.
After the kiss, the classroom erupted in cheers once again.
Many students were witnessing such an affectionate kiss for the first time. The fact that both of them were so good-looking, and it was initiated by the school’s beauty, made it even more remarkable.
“Wait for me a moment,” Wen Wenyao whispered in her ear.
Then she entered the classroom to retrieve her backpack.
“Wen Wenyao! If you don’t get married, I’ll look down on you!!”
“Is love so sweet for the school’s beauty?”
“They really kissed!”
Hearing these comments, Wen Wenyao was initially taken aback but then smiled brightly. She seemed to be in a very good mood.
After packing up her books, Song Nanqiao voluntarily carried Wen Wenyao’s backpack.
The light-colored backpack looked somewhat out of place on Song Nanqiao.
“The weather is nice today. Will you accompany me for a walk around the school field?”
Wen Wenyao held Song Nanqiao’s hand. She remembered that when they weren’t together yet, Song Nanqiao used to take her for walks around the field, creating sweet memories.
“Sure.”
As everyone was busy leaving the school, and parking wasn’t allowed near the school field, there weren’t many people there.
The two walked side by side, and Wen Wenyao’s hair cascaded down, giving her a unique and beautiful appearance. However, Song Nanqiao felt slightly uncomfortable because it seemed like many people were looking at her, especially some male students.
Song Nanqiao glanced around, and several male students were looking at Wen Wenyao. Then, they shifted their gaze to her, their expressions contorted as if they had just tasted concentrated lemon juice. They didn’t look friendly at all.
They were genuinely jealous.
Why could a girl like her win the heart of their school’s beauty?
Song Nanqiao: Um…
“Having a girlfriend who’s too good-looking can also be a bit troublesome,” Song Nanqiao thought with a mixture of sweetness and helplessness.
“It’s my fault for being good-looking,” the girl smiled sweetly and held onto Song Nanqiao’s hand.
“You’re too good-looking, and I’m starting to feel insecure.”
Song Nanqiao said this jokingly. When someone is exceptionally good-looking, it attracts more admirers, and some people might worry about their partner being stolen away.
“Really?” Wen Wenyao seemed a bit startled, stopped in her tracks, grabbed Song Nanqiao’s sleeve, and looked up at her with a hint of fear in her eyes.
“Of course not, I was just kidding. Don’t worry about it.”
“Promise me that if you ever do feel insecure, you’ll tell me. I’m scared… If you hide it from me, I won’t easily date someone else,” Wen Wenyao said anxiously, grabbing onto Song Nanqiao’s sleeve, looking directly into her clear eyes as if trying to discern something from them.
Lacking security can indeed be a terrifying feeling, something Wen Wenyao had genuinely experienced for a while.
“It’s really okay.”
Song Nanqiao knew she had taken the joke too far and began to speak more seriously. She wasn’t someone who lacked security in a relationship.
“Yeah, let’s go home,” Wen Wenyao said, pulling Song Nanqiao, wanting to leave the place quickly.
She wanted to go home, she wanted to be in Song Nanqiao’s embrace…
Liu Xuwen quickly took out a stack of documents from a safe and handed Song Nanqiao a brand-new pen.
Song Nanqiao carefully reviewed the contract, paying attention to every detail.
