Charm point maxed out, inheriting game assets

Actually, once the school celebration officially begins, everyone will be seated according to the plan, and as a journalist, she’ll be busy afterward.

She sincerely hopes to chat for a few moments with this old classmate before then.

”Ding dong—”

[Tang Song: ”Just set off, about ten minutes away.”]

Deng Yazi quickly replied: ”Alright, see you later, I’m outside the main venue.”

Sun Xiaonan, who was sneaking a peek beside her, suddenly brightened her eyes: ”Wow! Ten minutes! We’ll soon see the Attractive Man! Yazi, do you think I should touch up my makeup?”

”...Touch it up, my foot.” Deng Yazi rolled her eyes at her.

At this moment, Director Liu’s voice suddenly came from nearby: ”The city government’s convoy is almost here, everyone stay sharp! Deng Yazi, follow Xie Xuan and be mindful of your positioning, don’t wander into the camera’s view!”

”Got it!”

Deng Yazi’s heart tightened, she quickly jogged over.

Sun Xiaonan also hurriedly put away her infatuated expression, followed behind her and put on a professional demeanor.

Of course, the Mayor wouldn’t accept interviews casually in such situations.

The TV station’s goal is more about capturing footage of the leaders’ presence and guidance, as well as brief interviews with accompanying relevant leaders from the city’s propaganda department.

But no matter what, the formality must be done with utmost solemnity.

As time passed minute by minute, the news of ”city government leaders about to arrive” quickly spread among the crowd.

The initially relaxed chatter on the plaza gradually faded.

County Party Secretary Zhang Chengming, Principal Liu Zengyin from First Middle School, and local business tycoons like Li Yunfan, all collected themselves, wearing expressions of nervousness and anticipation, occasionally adjusting their collars.

Accompanied by the deep roar of engines, two black Audi A6Ls and a Buick GL8 slowly entered the plaza.

Everyone’s gaze was focused intently on the middle Audi ”No. 1 car.”

”Click.”

The sound of car doors opening was heard successively.

Deng Yazi not far within the crowd couldn’t help but hold her breath.

Soon, familiar figures began to appear one by one in view.

Director Chen Jianguo from the city’s development and reform committee, Vice Minister Lin Haisheng from the propaganda department, Secretary Wang Tao from the government office... and Mayor Li Jiping.

Mayor Li was dressed in a dark administrative jacket, his figure steady.

His face carried no expression, merely a calm glance around, exuding a strong aura that commands respect effortlessly.

At that moment, Deng Yazi’s heart uncontrollably sped up.

Since joining Quan City TV Station, she had never seen so many core leaders from the city government at once.

Especially this renowned Mayor Li, who was even more intimidating than the rumors.

”Mayor Li!”

”Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to guide us at First Middle School!”

”Hello Mayor Li, I’m Li Yunfan from Maixiangyuan and also an alumnus of Jing County First High School, welcome to our school!”

...

A continuous stream of humble and eager greetings followed.

Mayor Li Jiping only nodded slightly, shook hands with several main leaders one by one, and said a few encouraging words in a leisurely tone.

Flashlights blinked rapidly, the camera lights kept flickering red, the scene was grand and lively.

The atmosphere on site reached its peak at that moment.

Sun Xiaonan behind nudged Deng Yazi’s arm and whispered: ”Why aren’t the city leaders going inside? It’s so cold out here. Also, calculating the time, your classmate Tang Song should be arriving soon.”

Hearing this, Deng Yazi also paused.

Indeed, logically, since the city government leaders have arrived, the hosts from the county party committee and school should immediately escort the guests into the VIP room at the main venue to rest.

Everyone had been waiting outside in tacit agreement to welcome the Mayor, right?

Why aren’t they going in?

Just as she was filled with doubts, Secretary Wang Tao quickly approached Mayor Li, whispering something into his ear.

Immediately afterward, not only did Mayor Li show no intention of moving, but he turned around and focused his gaze towards the end of the red carpet, even revealing a gentle smile.

This unexpected action acted like a silent command.

All the perceptive individuals present also turned around.

In an instant, within the eyes of Deng Yazi, Sun Xiaonan, and others, an exceptionally bizarre scene unfolded at the plaza.

The leaders from the city government, county party committee, and school simultaneously ceased their conversations as if waiting for some important person to arrive.

The originally noisy crowd’s chatter faded gradually.

The atmosphere visibly tightened with speed.

Deng Yazi was caught off guard, momentarily not able to react.

Just then, from the other end of the plaza, outside the barricades came a slight commotion.

A sleek black Rolls-Royce Phantom silently appeared at the end of the red carpet.

The heavy and smooth car body glimmered with a cool sheen under the early winter sun, the Spirit of Ecstasy on the hood dazzled brilliantly.

It smoothly drove without hesitation, precisely stopping opposite Mayor Li and other leaders.

The passenger door opened first.

A tall and agile figure emerged from inside.

Today, she wore a meticulously tailored gray women’s suit, with her long hair neatly pinned at the back, a perfect professional smile on her face, and quickly bypassed to the rear, respectfully opening the rear double car doors.

A shiny black leather shoe stepped out first.

Following closely, a handsome and graceful figure appeared in everyone’s view.

He was dressed in a tailored deep blue suit, the top-notch fabric in the sunlight displayed a flowing sheen.

The suit fit his physique perfectly, his entire person in the sunlight, like a drawn blade, exuding power and elegance.

He merely lifted his head slightly, without any superfluous movements, yet radiated an undeniable aura.

Instantly, everyone’s attention was drawn.

Even Mayor Li Jiping paused imperceptibly for a moment.

Immediately afterward, from the other side of the rear door, Liu Qingning dressed in beige professional attire got out, but she didn’t steal the spotlight; she just stood quietly with a proud expression, looking at Tang Song.

At this moment, Shen Yuyan timely stepped forward half a step, saying in a well-adjusted voice: ”Mayor Li, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Tang Song, Chairman of Rongliu Capital.”

”Hello, Mayor Li.” Tang Song’s face showed a confident and bright smile, proactively extending his hand.

Mayor Li laughed heartily, tightly grasped Tang Song’s hand, warmly shaking it up and down: ”Hello, Chairman Tang!”

”Click—click—”

The sound of snapping photos erupted around.

Deng Yazi froze on the spot, her eyes widened in disbelief, totally forgetting to press the shutter on her DSLR camera.

She felt as if her brain had suddenly been struck by lightning.

This... this is... Tang Song?!
