Chapter 2169 - 704: Ambition and Submission, Vertigo_5

What else does she have to compete with? What else to fight with?

The road ahead is a blur.

...

Shen City, Nanshan District, TY Precision Global Headquarters.

The exclusive elevator is steadily ascending.

The assistant, beside her, whispered about the upcoming schedule: "Chairman Ouyang, at ten sharp, there will be a transoceanic video conference with the Australian branch, mainly regarding their iron ore supply chain... At two in the afternoon, you need to hear the legal department’s latest risk assessment on the U.S. Chip Act..."

Ouyang Xianyue gently pressed her temple, interrupting, "Cancel the meeting with Australia, let the regional president handle it. Have the legal department’s report finished within fifteen minutes this afternoon."

"Okay."

The elevator arrived at the top floor.

Ouyang Xianyue returned to the quiet chairman’s office, picked up the black coffee prepared on the desk, and gently took a sip.

She didn’t immediately dive into work, but instead walked to the large floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the bustling and vibrant city below, her gaze somewhat lost.

In recent days, she has started dreaming all sorts of bizarre dreams frequently.

Most of the dreams are related to Tang Song.

The reason, she actually knows it very well.

Although she had proactively sent signals in Rong City, the two had never crossed that step.

After returning, she didn’t even actively reach out to Tang Song to deepen the ambiguous relationship.

It’s not just because of that pride and reserve rooted in her bones, but also because she clearly knows that doing so would trigger strong backlash from Jin Weixiao and Su Yu.

Thoughts weighed down, intertwining and struggling in her mind, causing her to feel disturbed and restless.

"Ring, ring—"

The private phone on the desk suddenly vibrated.

Ouyang Xianyue withdrew her thoughts, glanced at the phone, her expression immediately became serious.

She pressed the answer button, her voice calm and graceful, "Good morning, Weixiao."

"Good morning, Xianyue." Secretary Jin’s clear and pleasant voice came through the receiver, "Not disturbing you, am I?"

"No, your timing is as precise as always; I just arrived at the office."

Ouyang Xianyue slowly sat down, leaning against the chair back.

"Heh." Weixiao chuckled softly, "I heard you met him in Rong City, how was it?"

"Pretty good." Ouyang Xianyue looked out the window, her tone gentle yet restrained, "Better than expected. I admire his current state... My grandpa does too."

"That’s good." Secretary Jin’s voice sounded like she was laughing, yet probing, "Seems like you had a good conversation, I’m relieved."

"Haha, actually, you don’t need to worry at all."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a moment, maintaining an intimate, subtle balance.

At least on the surface, their relationship is friendly.

Ouyang Xianyue proactively asked, "Tell me, Weixiao. It’s not a small matter for you to call personally."

"Indeed, not small." Secretary Jin’s voice returned to her usual rationality and control, "President Tang has decided to officially assume the role of Global CEO at Xuanji Light Realm. The appointment is effective from today, and the arrangements take effect immediately."

"What?!" Even with Ouyang Xianyue’s temperament, she suddenly sat upright, her eyes full of astonishment.

In the receiver, Secretary Jin did not respond to her inquiry, continuing calmly and precisely:

"His office needs redesigning and refurbishment. Security levels and communication protocols all upgraded to the highest level. Prepare Macallan 18 years and Perrier-Jouët Rosé Champagne. Preferred scents are cedar or cold wood tones... I’ll send you a detailed list later..."

As she continued speaking, Ouyang Xianyue’s heart started to beat vigorously, uncontrollably.

No wonder Jin Weixiao has been making so many small moves against Xuanji Light Realm.

Even placed her former subordinate Jiang Yourong into the president’s office.

Tang Song, is he really coming to Xuanji Light Realm as CEO?!

So... she will officially work with him.

Ouyang Xianyue’s fingertips unconsciously rubbed the coffee cup.

The almost fateful anticipation, made her breathe carefully.

All along, Tang Song has been like a mysterious shadow, lingering behind the scenes.

Over these years, in the development of TY Precision, aside from necessary strategic communication, they have seldom had private interactions.

Far less intimate than Jin Weixiao and him.

This gentleman-like distance allowed her in Rong City, even though moved, to hesitate to fully let go of the reserve that comes with a noblewoman, and make the most crucial step.

Also unwilling to tear off the mask and confront Su Yu.

And now, just after the meeting full of ambiguities and tests, he made such a decision.

This sudden delight, like a blazing warm current, surged throughout her body.

[Is it because of me that he made this decision?]

This thought, once arisen, became impossible to suppress.

Even with Ouyang Xianyue’s mind, she felt bouts of dizziness at this moment.
