Charm point maxed out, inheriting game assets

This subtle action, however, made Deng Yazi feel a bit flattered.

Always so carefree at social gatherings, she suddenly became somewhat at a loss.

Her cheeks flushed red all at once, and she didn’t know whether to respond or lower her head.

Just then, there was another commotion in the crowd.

Previously standing to the side, Zhao Rui and Li Yunfan finally came to Tang Song with the introduction of the school leaders.

”Chairman Tang, nice to meet you!” Zhao Rui’s face, usually carrying an air of elite arrogance, was now filled with a humble and enthusiastic smile. He bent slightly and proactively extended his hands, ”I am Zhao Rui from the 14th graduating class, now working in CICC’s investment banking department. I’ve long heard the great name of Rongliu Capital, and I never expected the chairman to be our alumni from First Middle School. It’s truly an honor!”

”Chairman Tang, I’m Li Yunfan from Maixiangyuan! I’ve admired your reputation for a long time and hope Chairman Tang can take care of us in the future!”

Facing the self-introductions from the two outstanding alumni, Tang Song casually shook hands with them, politely nodded, and didn’t say much small talk.

However, Zhao Rui and Li Yunfan were not bothered at all, instead they seemed even more excited and honored.

Deng Yazi was watching this unbelievable scene dumbfounded from not far away.

The two seniors who seemed unattainable in her eyes before, appeared to be... somewhat lacking even the qualification for an equal conversation in front of Tang Song.

The shock within her was beyond words.

The crowd began to move slowly.

Principal Liu Zengyin respectfully made a ”please” gesture, leading the city leaders and Tang Song and others to the already prepared VIP meeting room.

The crowded flow of people automatically parted to make way for a passage.

The staff from the program crew immediately hoisted their equipment, ready to follow and capture footage.

Director Liu admonished softly: ”Deng Yazi, what are you daydreaming about again!”

Deng Yazi quickly got herself together, picked up the camera and interview book, and squeezed behind the host Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan lowered her voice, ”That man in a gray suit and glasses is Minister Lin, make sure he sees us, so if there’s a chance for interviews and reports later, it will fall on us.”

Deng Yazi nodded quickly, her gaze couldn’t help but fall on the approaching Tang Song.

As the distance narrowed, her heartbeat quickened.

Just as they passed by the Quan City Observation program crew, his figure suddenly stopped.

Director Liu, Xie Xuan, and others all held their breath in an instant.

However, Tang Song’s gaze fell on Deng Yazi, showing an apologetic smile, ”Sorry, Yazi. I have some matters to deal with here, I’ll find you later for a proper chat.”

”Swish! Swish! Swish!”

Almost instantly, all the eyes at the venue—those of the mayor, county party secretary, principal, Liu Qingning, and all her colleagues...

All focused on her.

Deng Yazi felt a buzzing sound in her brain, with all her blood rushing to the top of her head.

”No, no worries, you go ahead.”

Tang Song nodded and continued to walk forward.

Behind him, Liu Qingning nodded at her, smiled and left.

Deng Yazi stood there dumbly, completely submerged by the complex gazes around her.

Xie Xuan was the first to come over, her voice carrying a sweet intimacy for the first time, ”Yazi, you know this Chairman Tang...?”

Deng Yazi: ”He’s my high school classmate.”

”High school classmate...” Director Liu, whose face was usually stern, also showed shock and enthusiasm, ”High school classmates are great! That’s called having a solid foundation for friendship!”

The people of the program crew finally awoke as if from a dream, but their gazes on Deng Yazi had completely changed.

From what Tang Song had demonstrated just now, at least

As Tang Song, Mayor Li, and others completely disappeared

Finally, a fierce discussion broke out among the nearby alumni crowd.

”Wasn’t that person also our alumni? Does anyone know him?”

”I heard the mayor call him Chairman Tang, he’s the chairman of Rongliu Capital? How can he be so young?”

”Rongliu Capital? Is it an enterprise from Yan Province?”

”Not from Yan Province, I just checked, it’s a top private equity fund headquartered in Xiang River. Just last month, they set up a special parent fund with a total scale of 10 billion US dollars.”

”Ten billion... US Dollars?!”

”Oh my, our Jing County First High School actually produced such a figure?!”

At the scene, a chorus of incredulous exclamations arose.

This number had completely exceeded the scope of what most people present could comprehend.

Sun Xiaonan took out her phone and started searching ”Rongliu Capital”, then she covered her mouth tightly and patted Deng Yazi, continuously saying ”Oh my god.”

Then, she directly shoved the phone screen in front of Deng Yazi.

Deng Yazi mechanically lowered her head to look at the phone screen.

On it were headlines from global top-tier financial media.

...

Bloomberg, Reuters, Wall Street Journal, etc.

As a seasoned journalist who has trekked and rolled in the media industry for over three years, she understood better than anyone what it meant to be featured on the front page as ”Breaking News” by these media giants standing at the pinnacle of the global information chain.

She stared blankly, feeling as if she wasn’t reading the news, but watching an incredibly fantastical commercial blockbuster starring her old classmate.
