Charm point maxed out, inheriting game assets

Chapter 1409: Chapter 513: Oh! Anne! (Part 3)

”Ah? You mean that high school classmate of yours from Imperial University who started her own business, cashed out over three million in three years, and joined Qingning Technology?”

”Yes, that’s her.”

”No wonder,” Zhang Nuo remarked with a sigh. ”This guy must be really exceptional? Managing to win over a woman like her, that’s impressive.”

Hearing this, Sun Jiayue chuckled, ”That’s where you’re wrong. In my view, he’s not really exceptional, at least not a good match for Liu Qingning. His family conditions aren’t great, graduated from an ordinary university, had a decent job but resigned, and is now working as a programmer in Yan City.”

”Oh, so he’s really handsome?”

”Emm...” Sun Jiayue thought for a moment, ”If you mean before, then he was quite handsome, but he gained weight and became unrecognizable later on.”

In high school, Tang Song was a thin and tall guy with rosy lips and white teeth, and he complemented Liu Qingning well.

Unfortunately, he later ’let himself go.’

Moreover, he doesn’t have much ambition in his career. He quit his job at a major internet company and went to Yan City to enjoy life.

Logically speaking, someone like him doesn’t have a future with Liu Qingning; they are completely mismatched.

However, from Sun Jiayue’s previous interactions, Liu Qingning still remained ’faithful’ to him, even planning to buy a house in Yan City with the money from the equity cash-out.

This left Sun Jiayue puzzled and more determined to meet Tang Song.

She hoped that through this meeting, he would advise Liu Qingning and Tang Song would realize a few things.

”Alright then.” Zhang Nuo shook his head in disappointment, then continued to ask, ”By the way, do you have any leads on the candidates for the event?”

Sun Jiayue reluctantly replied, ”Pengyuan is helping me contact people, but nothing suitable so far. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll just let it go.”

This weekend, there’s a fairly large investment circle event in Shanghai, ’Investor Night Smart Future.’

The focus and domain align perfectly with the fund their company is currently raising.

Not only are top agencies like Redwood Capital, IDG, Meditation Capital attending, but the event organizers have also invited many active individual LPs/family office representatives.

Sun Jiayue’s target is these ’individual LPs/family office representatives.’

In fact, not only her, but many fundraising managers from funds focused on the tech track in the Yangtze River Delta area plan to attend.

This also means the competition will be exceptionally fierce.

Unfortunately, Hengyue Investment is not particularly outstanding in any aspect.

Sun Jiayue had to work in other directions, planning to find a ’utility person’ to pose as an LP at the conference.

Helping her initiate fundraising discussions at the event banquet and ultimately reach investment intentions with her as a successful case to showcase her professionalism.

Of course, the requirements for this ’utility person’ are also very high, otherwise she wouldn’t be so troubled.

First of all, they need to have excellent image and conversation quality, preferably a real investor;

They also need to understand financial investment knowledge and not be a familiar face in the Yangtze River Delta investment circle, otherwise, they’ll easily be exposed.

Such gray tactics are actually quite common in the fundraising industry, fundamentally leveraging low-cost means to influence high-net-worth client (LP) decisions.

Sun Jiayue used to be reluctant to employ such tactics, but now the performance pressure is too high; failing to meet targets means not only her year-end bonus will be halved, but she also faces the risk of being laid off.

Currently, she has enlisted the help of friends and classmates to scout, but hasn’t found anyone suitable.

Actually, she believes there is someone quite suitable and has invited that person several times – that is Liu Qingning.

Liu Qingning’s resume and achievements perfectly meet these requirements, plus she’s very presentable, certain to draw attention from the other LPs at the venue.

Unfortunately, Liu Qingning ultimately declined her.

However, she did recommend someone else.

And that person is... Tang Song.

You can only imagine how strange her expression was at the time.

Yet, she graciously agreed to contact Tang Song and inquire about his thoughts.

Maybe in Liu Qingning’s eyes, her childhood friend is really outstanding after all.

But in reality?

Compared to those truly outstanding individuals, Tang Song is far, far from it.

Sun Jiayue laughed and shook her head, her gaze turning to the full-length mirror in front of her.

The neatly tailored professional suit, exquisite makeup, her eyes firm.

The current her is becoming the financial elite she longed to be as a child, direct, efficient, confident, with high value perception and strong execution.

...

October 3, 2023, Tuesday, Cloudy.

Tomorrow Square JW Marriott Hotel.

After lunch, Tang Song returned to his room, tidied himself up a bit, changed into a dashing suit, shaved, and styled his hair in front of the mirror.

Took the elevator down.

When he arrived at Hongqiao Airport, there were about 40 minutes left until the scheduled landing time of the plane.

The business jet terminal, compared to the regular terminal, appeared exceptionally quiet, with few people and tight security.

After showing his reservation information, Tang Song smoothly entered the VIP lounge to wait.

The environment here is elegant and private, with soft and comfortable sofas and a faint coffee aroma in the air.

Tang Song ordered a coffee and casually flipped open an English magazine.

After a while.

A crisp and pleasant voice sounded, ”Hello, sir, are you here to meet Ms. Anne?”

Tang Song looked up and saw a staff member wearing a red uniform approaching.

”Yes, I’m her friend.”

”The Gulfstream G650 has completed its landing procedure and is parked at the designated location.” The staff member added with a smile, ”You can wait a moment, Ms. Anne will need to complete the customs check, which will take about 8 minutes.”
