Chapter 584: Chapter 577: Capital City, Here I Come
Capital City.
Evening, exactly eleven o’clock.
The preeminent ancient capital, filled with an intertwining sense of history and modernity.
From Wanchun Pavilion, overlooking the distance, you can see the golden glazed tiles of the Imperial Palace to the south, shrouded in a faint mist, the White Tower to the west resembling a white jade bottle, and the tall buildings of Olympic Village to the north.
Pa!
On a dimly lit street, a man holding a wooden box gradually emerges, extinguishing a cigarette end.
By the weak light, you can see that the ashtray beside the trash can is stuffed with cigarette butts, and two empty cigarette boxes are littered on the ground.
The entire street is shrouded in smoke, reminiscent of the smog-covered Capital City from four or five years ago.
“Old friend, do you still miss me?”
Even in the silent corner, the man’s footsteps make no sound, as if merging with the darkness.
A few minutes later.
The dim light fades away, ahead lies a myriad of neon lights, illuminating countless towering buildings brilliantly.
The night in Capital City is always the beginning of a revelry.
“Capital City, I’m here.”
The man is Ye Tian from the Mo Family, his lips curling into a bright smile as he strides forward.
…..
Qingcheng Group.
A beautiful iconic landmark in Capital City, a towering building of 580 meters, standing in the ancient East.
This is an international corporation with a gathering of beauties, each day various scions of wealthy families rack their brains to get inside, even if only to be a security guard.
The owner of this skyscraper is a woman, rumored to have the potential to surpass Su Tong in ten years and become the richest man in Huaxia.
This assessment is exceedingly high; Su Tong’s numerous corporate groups generate month-long profits comparable to forty percent of enterprises’ annual earnings.
And the owner of Qingcheng Group, which is hailed as the person who could surpass Su Tong within ten years, is undoubtedly formidable.
Simultaneously, Qingcheng Qingcheng, is also a description of the owner of this building.
She is stunningly beautiful, her beauty suffocating; after Mo Yanjin and Mu Yunxi comes her.
Usually, Qingcheng Group turns off all its lights at nine o’clock, requiring all employees to leave.
Today was an exception, the highest floor was still glowing, two figures faintly visible.
A young woman in professional attire stood at the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the densely packed skyscrapers and flowing traffic below, lost in thought.
The clear moonlight shone through the glass into the room, reflecting her peerless beauty and graceful figure, as if draping her in a thin white veil, breathtakingly beautiful.
Her expression was ever-changing, with melancholy, sighs, and joy, but deep in her eyes, there was an endless sadness and pain.
“Bang… Bang…”
Moments later, a knock on the door broke the tranquility of the office, pulling the young woman back from her reverie to reality.
“Enter.”
The young woman returned to her seat, slowly exhaling two words, her entire demeanor like that of an Empress high above, wielding life and death over thousands.
Ding~~~
The door opened, a capable young woman in professional attire walked in. Her sharp gaze, both slightly admiring and apprehensive, glanced at the woman before her.
Her beauty was no less than that of the young woman, only lacking a bit of the dominating aura, possessing more gentleness.
“President, it seems the Heavenly Principle Sect has failed. Should we continue our collaboration with the research lab?”
She entered the office, standing three meters away from the female President, bowing slightly and speaking softly.
“Unexpectedly, Bai Meng himself took action, yet failed to handle them. They indeed have some power.”
The female President suddenly stood up, took a cigarette from the drawer, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing into the distance. Her tone was a mix of surprise and sarcasm.
“President, it’s said they had help, probably someone like Lu ZhaoYu, from the military.”
The capable young woman hurried forward, placing the documents on the desk, her gaze filled with worry. She gently took the cigarette from the female President’s red lips, saying:
“President, smoking is bad for your health.”
“Xinran, you don’t know how exhausting these years have been for me.” The female President did not blame the capable young woman. Instead, she gazed at her warmly, sighing softly,
“Sometimes I just want to jump down from here and end it all.”
Then she turned her gaze to the distant sky, answering indirectly, her tone complex, seeming sarcastic and self-reproachful.
“I know!!” The capable young woman’s tone was firm and powerful, speaking loudly and emphatically:
“President, you are the owner of Qingcheng Group and the dream goddess of the sons of Capital City, Xiao Mei. You are the idol of all our employees.”
“As long as you are here, we won’t collapse, Qingcheng Group won’t collapse.”
Indeed, these two women, one is Xiao Mei, the owner of Qingcheng Group; the other is her close friend and Group Director, Zhang Xinran.
“Goddess?? It’s such a ridiculous title.” Xiao Mei shook her head, smiling self-deprecatingly, “Unappreciated, ultimately just a pretty skeleton.”
“Who says?? President, your suitors could line up from the first ring of Capital City to the eighteenth ring.”
“With just a gesture, countless men would be mesmerized by you.”
Zhang Xinran teasingly flicked her hair, smiling charmingly, her tone slightly puzzled. Even she, as a woman, would feel a pounding heart for her President.
How could it be possible no men appreciated her??
“Alright Xinran, you don’t even have a boyfriend yourself and you’re worrying about me.” Xiao Mei took a deep breath, burying all stray thoughts within, sitting back in her chair,
“Since that thing wasn’t snatched by Heavenly Principle Sect, let’s continue collaborating.”
“Yes, President.” Zhang Xinran nodded, she agreed, then looked at Xiao Mei, hesitatingly: “President, the second son of the Shen Family has been asking to see you for several days. Should we meet him?”
“Ha, Shen Family?? Others may fear them, but I do not.” Xiao Mei sneered, speaking lightly:
“If not for Shen Cangtian, the Shen Family wouldn’t even qualify to enter Capital City. A bunch of worthless trash!!”
Xiao Mei’s eyes flashed with disgust. These days the Shen Family members, relying on Shen Cangtian’s reputation, had been wreaking havoc and committing evils everywhere.
Zhang Xinran also expressed her disdain: “I’ll reject him tomorrow.”
Xiao Mei continued: “Xinran, have you sorted out your sham engagement? It’s difficult for me to help with your family matters.”
“I heard you found a Special Soldier to be your fake boyfriend, can he be relied on?”
Xiao Mi introduced him; he’s said to be serving abroad, likely can be used as a shield.”
“We’ll meet at eleven thirty.”
Zhang Xinran remembered this matter, took out a contract from her clothes, and handed it to Xiao Mei.
Xiao Mei’s eyes shone with wisdom, she looked at it for a minute, then added: “I’ve added a few clauses. If he proves capable and of good character, the salary can be increased by ten thousand.”
“Make sure not to let it turn real!!”
“Mm.” Zhang Xinran took the contract, nodding in satisfaction, “Then I’m off, good night President.”
With the sound of the door closing, the office returned to silence.
Xiao Mei closed her eyes slightly, speaking softly, as if to herself.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
