…
After frolicking around for a while, they were both panting and stopped.
They leaned on each other to watch TV shows and eat watermelon.
Xu Qing complained, “Ever since you started your business, you’ve hardly had time to binge-watch with me or go to the movies. You’re also often too busy!”
“Pfft—” Shen Yuyan said with a chuckle, “With that tone, anyone would think you’re talking to your boyfriend.”
“If you were my boyfriend, I would’ve dumped you long ago.” Xu Qing mumbled and continued to eat watermelon heartily.
Shen Yuyan rubbed her head and sighed helplessly, “It’s really too hard for a woman to make a name for herself in the business world.”
“What happened?” Xu Qing sensitively noticed something was amiss.
After a moment of silence, Shen Yuyan said, “This afternoon, Hou Shaoyuan asked me if I wanted to seek investment from his father.”
“Isn’t that a good thing? I remember his family is in the foreign trade business and pretty wealthy.”
“Heh.” Shen Yuyan crossed her arms, “If his family was willing to put up the money, we would’ve secured funding long ago. He meant that I should go there as his girlfriend, then his father would loosen the purse strings.”
Hou Shaoyuan’s family indeed had money, with assets worth tens of millions.
But that was his parents’; he himself just received a regular monthly allowance from the insurance fund set up by his family.
Xu Qing gasped in shock, “So what did you say?”
“I refused.”
Xu Qing patted her chest, relieved, “That’s good, that’s good. It always felt as though they were trying to sell you.”
She had already bought a 4090, even planning to dress up beautifully to meet Tang Song and then enact a dramatic rescue of her best friend.
“That’s all trivial, but!” Shen Yuyan paused, her gaze turned sharp, “The company isn’t just mine; I’m only the second-largest shareholder. Zhang Tianqi, Hou Shaoyuan—they’re not thinking about how to develop the business but instead play dirty tricks at such a critical moment. That’s what I can’t stand.”
She had always known her greatest strength, so she didn’t mind people pursuing her.
But this incident also proved that those two partners were truly unreliable, their minds not on starting a business at all.
The company’s share structure was: Zhang Tianqi (42%), Shen Yuyan (40%), Hou Shaoyuan (14%), Li Meixia (2%), Wang Ning (2%).
She hoped for everyone to work together to push the company to a new level so that all shareholders could benefit, a win-win for all.
But now it seemed her thought was too naive.
With her chest heaving, Shen Yuyan’s eyes flickered.
Unfortunately, she didn’t have any capital to back her up, or she would have been able to use various means to dilute their shares and take control of the company.
Xu Qing pursed her lips, unable to hold back her smugness, and with her fuzzy eyebrows trembling, she excitedly said, “Yanyan, just hold on a little longer, I’m also helping you make contacts on my side, and there should be some news in a few days.”
Shen Yuyan looked up and rolled her eyes, then tapped her on the forehead, “Since when do you have such connections? Don’t tell me it’s someone from a novel again?”
They had been best friends since middle school and went to the same high school and university, old friends for over a decade.
Xu Qing wiggled her bottom; she knew what the other party was about to say.
Knowing her background and social circle through and through, she naturally didn’t believe Xu Qing could pull in an investment.
Xu Qing grinned, feeling a bit guilty, “No way! Just you wait and see!”
Tang Song… could also count as a character from a novel, right?
“Right.” Shen Yuyan suddenly said, “Tomorrow is Children’s Day, do you want to go out and have some fun in the evening?”
Xu Qing quickly shook her head, “No, I have something really important tomorrow night, I have to take a very important client out to dinner.”
Shen Yuyan nodded, stood up, and pulled out a white card from her bag, handing it over, “Chu Mingzhou opened a new music restaurant in West Bridge District, this is the membership card he gave me the day before yesterday, it has a preloaded value of 5000 yuan, you can use it, and they can issue invoices.”
Hearing this, Xu Qing’s eyes immediately lit up, “I saw his grand opening post in Moments, I didn’t expect you to actually have a stored-value card, that’s awesome!”
Recharged with 5000 yuan once again!
As a legal officer, she occasionally treated clients to dinner, and the invoices she issued could be reimbursed.
“Thank you, my darling Yanyan!” The financially savvy Xu Qing threw the watermelon onto the coffee table and pounced, planting a kiss on Yanyan’s cheek.
“Alright, alright, your mouth is all sticky with watermelon juice.”
…
That night, dressed in cartoon pajamas and hugging the 4090, Xu Qing slept deeply and even had a long dream.
In the dream, after she gifted the present to Tang Song, he was so moved that he fell deeply in love with her, unable to extricate himself.
He immediately promised her best friend an investment of one billion!
The sparks of love between them were just starting to fly.
Then, the lovestruck, manipulative Jing appeared, weaving various schemes to create misunderstandings between them.
The despondent Xu Qing resolutely left Tang Song.
She started living with her best friend again.
Decades later, Tang Song was about to pass away from illness.
She came to his bedside with her aging best friend.
As their eyes met, memories of the past surfaced.
Tang Song shakily took out a pocket watch from his pocket and handed it to her; then he passed away.
She gently opened the pocket watch; inside were two photos, one of her and the other of the 4090.
Turns out, because of that once-present 4090, he had never married…

June 1, 2023, Thursday, sunny, 19~33?.
“Brother, isn’t the game… over yet?” Zhao Yaqian panted, her gaze somewhat blurred, sweat covering her body.
