Free Web NovelChapter 1954: Chapter 650: Yanqing Play_2
Xu Qing saw the message, and couldn’t focus on writing her novel any longer. She swiftly shut down her computer, packed her bag, and dashed out of the office.
Back to Lanfeng International High-end Apartment.
She locked the car, took the elevator straight to the 22nd floor.
As she opened the door, a familiar scent of perfume hit her.
In the living room, Shen Yuyan stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, observing this new home she had yet to fully acquaint herself with.
Her tall silhouette was stretched long in the glow of the sunset.
"Yanyan! You’re back!"
"Qingqing." Shen Yuyan’s face carried a hint of fatigue, yet she remained vividly charming.
She opened her arms, habitually waiting for her enthusiastic friend, like a little puppy, to pounce for a hug.
However, Xu Qing came to a stop two steps away from her.
Her expression turned slightly red with awkwardness, her gaze evasive, hands nervously clasped behind her back, not daring to meet her eyes.
Shen Yuyan instantly understood her thoughts.
She playfully slapped her firm bottom, laughing, "You’re acting so silly now, haha."
"You shameless schemer Yanyan!" Xu Qing immediately bristled, countering with a slap.
Immediately, the two started playfully wrestling with each other as usual.
The delicate tension dissolved instantly.
Watching her friend regain her vitality, Shen Yuyan sighed deeply in her heart.
If given a choice, she wouldn’t want to use the simple-minded Qingqing like this.
But she had no other way.
This trip to Quan City—she initially thought it was her best opportunity to take initiative and close the gap with Tang Song.
But unexpectedly, Tang Song remained as steady as an old dog. Throughout, he kept it strictly business aside from some light, harmless flirting, showing no sign of genuine affection.
She was really getting a bit anxious.
The emergence of Liu Qingning, along with Tang Song’s genuine and unmistakable regard for her, felt like a thorn deeply embedded in her proud heart. Coupled with the interactions with government officials over the past few days, it fully ignited her ambition for power and success, burning fiercely.
Of course, she had to admit that she was genuinely smitten with Tang Song.
Afraid that if she waits any longer, she might really just become an assistant.
After a while, the living room fell silent again.
Shen Yuyan pulled out her laptop from her briefcase, her expression turning serious and professional once again. She opened a document, gesturing for Xu Qing to sit beside her.
"Qingqing, about Mortals, I have some new information to tell you, so listen carefully."
"Okay." Xu Qing tidied her scattered hair, curiously moving closer.
Shen Yuyan turned the screen towards Xu Qing, softly saying, "According to Rongliu Capital’s latest internal assessment, with the explosive rise of Yannan Short Drama Base and policy support, the entire short drama track’s popularity continues to climb..."
Conservatively, the pre-investment valuation of Mortals is currently at least between 180 million to 220 million.
The 38% share Tang Song holds, along with your 2%, makes 40%, valuing this portion of the shares at least at 80 million RMB."
"And this is just the beginning." Her voice lowered further, her eyes gleaming, "Once Xingyun International Group formally steps in and completes the acquisition, it will inevitably bring full-scale resource tilt—platform, distribution, production... ultimately, as Xingyun goes public..."
Xu Qing listened in a daze, feeling her heart pound rapidly.
Even her breathing became difficult.
She’s a standard money-lover, working hard every day, desperately writing to ultimately earn a little money to live more comfortably.
But now, according to her friend, as long as Tang Song nods...
Within less than a year, she could become a bona fide billionaire.
The overwhelming happiness hit her, making her feel dizzy.
What followed, however, was an even stronger sense of unease.
"But... doesn’t this make me seem very greedy..." she muttered softly, lacking confidence, "After all, that’s Song’s money..."
Watching her adorable expression of both yearning and timidity, Shen Yuyan sighed helplessly, reaching out to pinch her cheeks:
"I ask you, on Jing’s birthday, Tang Song gifted her Jinxiu Commerce shares worth nearly 200 million, right?"
Xu Qing nodded instinctively.
"Then you’re also his publicly acknowledged girlfriend; why shouldn’t you have your own career and assets?"
Shen Yuyan paused, earnestly saying, "You can proactively propose to him to ’hold and manage’ this portion of the shares for him. Tell him that you also want to learn, to improve, to have your own career like Sister Wen Ruan or Jing, and truly help him. Did you understand?"
Xu Qing lowered her head and said, "I understand."
Seeing her like this, Shen Yuyan pursed her lips, leaning slightly, and pressed against her.
"Qingqing, if you really feel uneasy about your conscience, then tonight let’s play some fun games with Tang Song. He’s been working so hard lately, let’s help him ’relax’ a bit."
"Wha-what games?" Xu Qing’s body instantly tensed up.

Shen Yuyan wrapped her arm around her shoulder, her warm breath touching her friend’s sensitive ear as she began to whisper.
As she listened, Xu Qing’s cheeks visibly blushed, spreading down to her neck.
She seemed to be ripening.
...
Meanwhile, at YJTC.
"Bye, take care and get some rest, watch your health."
After ending the video call with his first love, the study returned to silence.
