Three years later.
Su Xu woke up early. She had extremely short jeans, a white T-shirt with the shape of a flower of blood on it, shiny silver heels, and mocha colored hair that was twisted and tied behind her head.
Su Xu had returned to the precious essence of He Tian Yu.
She wore a silver satchel in the shade of light on her shoes. It was simple and elegant, decorated only by two large, sunken letters.
Su Xu looked at the watch on the wall. It was 7: 50. She pushed open the door and went downstairs.
"Good morning, Mr. Tang." Tang Ling, as usual, flipped through the documents on the balcony. Su Xu politely greeted him.
Tang Ling looked at her lightly: "En."
In these past few years, Su Xu had almost understood Tang Ling. He was very serious, and his words were short and precise, pointing out that the problem was straight to the point and he was merciless. For so long, Tang Ling hadn't laughed a few times.
Tang Ling goes to the company every two days - the Tang Group.
He left most of the company's affairs to his deputy, who said that true businessmen make good people willing to work for them. On the other hand, Su Xu felt that they were putting in effort because of the generous salaries and bonuses. The Tang clan had always treated their employees well, and they were well-informed both in and out of the industry.
Tang's was a large enterprise with deep knowledge in electronics, software, and architecture. It was one of the best in the city and had made it into the top 30 in the country in the past few years. Most of the credit belonged to Tang Ling. He had a unique vision and his actions were quick and accurate. He was friends with many companies.
Tang Lingyu had a son. Currently in England, Tang Ling had almost never told her about his private affairs. Su Xu had even heard from the magazine that his son's name was Tang Luoye. Tang Ling's wife passed away 13 years ago. In the same year, he sent the 14 year old Tang Luoye abroad, leaving him alone.
"Sir, Miss, let's eat." A middle-aged woman walked over and greeted the two of them. Her clothes were simple but clean.
Su Xu and Tang Ling stood up at the same time, smiling. "Good morning, Aunt Zhang."
The woman also greeted her with a smile, cordial and sincere. "Good morning, Miss." ZhangYu was the worker here for the hour. She would come once in the morning and once in the evening. Every time she came, she would come for two hours to cook and clean.
Su Xu felt that Tang Ling did not like people who were unrelated to him going in and out of his house. He would rather have a part-time job than a nanny all year round. Su Xu was glad that her relationship with Su Yi had been taken over that year.
Of course, her arrival also made a lot of people in the district talk about tea time.
Delicious porridge, sumptuous dishes, boiled eggs, and a standard Chinese style breakfast. Tang Ling didn't like western cuisine.
She looked at her watch again. 8: 10. She was going to negotiate today.
"Nervous?" Tang Ling asked.
Su Xu tried her best not to show her unease, but she remained noncommittal. She was nervous, so she just put down her chopsticks and nodded seriously, "Yes." She never lied to Tang Ling because Tang Ling already saw through the many years of training in the mall.
She still remembered what Tang Ling had told her that day.
"At 20, you are still too young. I hope you can continue to complete your studies."
"This is a teacher in English, finance, management, and architecture. If you want to learn from them, all your achievements will be counted as performance points."
"In four years, either pass my standards or leave this place."
"I don't raise useless people."
Although they were called teachers, they all had excellent companies and were well-known in the industry. They taught Su Xu theoretical knowledge, but they also taught her more about the rules of combat. Su Xu didn't know how Tang Ling had done it, but she could actually get the other company's boss to teach her.
Just like this, she began to study hard day and night. The difficulty increased every month, and she not only had to learn the basics from zero, but she also had to complete the missions assigned by her master.
The postgraduate diploma in English was obtained a year ago. During this period, Tang Ling would occasionally inquire about her situation. Starting from last year, he would show Su Xu some Tang Dynasty's cases, increasing her understanding of the modern corporate operating methods.
"Even if you fail, what you are studying now is enough for a small and medium-sized company to live a stable life." Tang Ling's tone and expression were both very calm. Su Xu couldn't guess what he was thinking, "You already don't need to submit to anyone to survive. Leaving this place isn't a big deal, is it?"
Tang Ling gave Su Xu a large sum of money every month for her living expenses. Even if she left the Tang Clan without a job, it would still be enough for her to live for a long time. But … At that time, Su Xu had no money and had no one to rely on, so she came to rely on Tang Ling. When he made this request, Su Xu agreed to it and this belief kept supporting her to move forward, even if she became different from before, even if she was no longer short on money or other materials, this was still her unwavering determination.
Su Xu shook her head and said, "This is different. I said that I would do it, so I must keep my promise. "
"That's all?" Tang Ling asked again.
She spoke out her thoughts, "If I leave here one day, it will be because I have a better place. I don't want to stay here and get expelled. To others, it might not matter whether I leave with my head held high and my chest puffed up or my face covered in dirt, but to me, this is the biggest difference in the entire world. I can't pass my own trial. "
Tang Ling crossed his hands and held them in front of the table. With a sharp gaze, he said, "Su Xu, do you know what I admire about you? You have fighting strength and will not admit defeat."
Su Xu stared blankly. Tang Ling was praising her. This was really rare. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Tang, for your appreciation and nurturing."
"No, this is an investment." Tang Ling corrected her, "I am a businessman, Su Xu. I pay attention to low costs and high profits. You should understand that I've never been involved in the business of losing money. "
"So, you treat nurturing me as a business?" Su Xu liked this kind of way of handling things, being frank and instead falling into a relaxed state, suspecting each other was a very tiring thing.
"I don't believe you understand now."
She shrugged her shoulders. She had asked, and of course Su Xu already knew about it. She blinked twice. "Do you think I can make a lot of money?"
"Of course."
"Then, can I understand that if you, I have no mistakes, my future will be limitless?"
"You can say that too." Tang Ling said.
Su Xu squinted her eyes as she smiled in high spirits.
Tang Ling's words, to a certain extent, eased Su Xu's mood.
She took a taxi to the Pavilion Yin Business Club. This was a place where business was specially discussed. The fees were set by the hour and the price was extremely high. However, in order to reveal her identity, the crowd still rushed in like a flock of ducks.
Su Xu had only chosen this place because the service staff here were all first-rate like the tea snacks.
The automatic glass door opened and a cool, faint fragrance of flowers wafted into her nose. She took a deep breath and subconsciously smiled. A thick, light blue curtain flowed down from the ceiling, separating the hall into many separate circular spaces. One could vaguely see the figures of people inside the curtain, every space was occupied by people, but not a single sound could be heard from the hall.
"Miss Su, the room you reserved is upstairs. Please follow me." The waiter in the lobby smiled as he led the way for her. He was very handsome, so Su Suo gave him a few glances.
She looked at her watch. 9: 50. A subsidiary of the Lin Clan, Yuan Zhao Jewelry Company, Su Xu had an appointment with the general manager of Yuan Zhao at 10: 00 PM.
"Miss Su, this is the room."
"Thank you."
Her test was to represent the newly established small company, "Hcpaar," to seek the right to work with the jewelry of Yuanzhao Company and earn the astronomical profit amount prescribed by Tang Ling.
Amongst the many companies, the one she represented was unremarkable and couldn't create a sensation like the others, while the newly listed jewellery brands required a lot of exposure and publicity, and a lot of money for advertising and publicity to remember that this was Hcpaar's fatal weakness, and she seemed to have no chance of winning the war.
She took the papers and papers out of her bag and just laid them on the table when a knocking sound came from the door.
Su Xu calmly opened the door and said to the man at the entrance, "Manager Wang Shuo, it's a pleasure to meet you."
