Chapter 2211 - 714: Endured, Accepted, Submitted (Daily Life) (2)

Feigning calm, she spoke, "I’m here. Shouldn’t you release my student now, Mr. Kidnapper?"

Tang Song displayed a gentle, harmless smile, "Of course, Teacher Jiang is indeed very trustworthy. Then come with me."

"Huh?" Jiang Yourong looked flustered, "What do you mean?"

Qian Lele also widened her eyes in confusion, looking between the teacher and her brother.

Tang Song lifted his chin slightly, "Aren’t you here for the hostage exchange? Hand over the person, and I’ll hand over the ’ransom.’ Now the hostage can be released. It’s your turn. Come along, Teacher Jiang, to the study. I need to interrogate you properly, my new ’hostage.’

In front of her most beloved student, being spoken to in such a teasing manner by her future boss, Jiang Yourong felt her composure slipping.

She was a respectable person!

A dignified university associate professor!

Why on earth is this an ’interrogation’? It’s too humiliating!

Tang Song, however, paid no mind to her embarrassment, merely giving her a meaningful glance before turning directly towards the study.

Jiang Yourong twitched at the corner of her eye, gave a worried-looking Lele a glance, and could only sigh inwardly, reluctantly following.

Oh well, when under someone else’s roof, you have to keep your head down.

This guy is indeed the epitome of an overbearing CEO. He dared to be so ’arrogant’ even in Chairman Jin’s office.

I’m just about to join [Xuanji Light Realm], after all, he’s going to be my boss anyway.

Just endure it!

As long as it’s not in front of Lele, she still needs to maintain some dignity.

The two of them walked one after the other into the spacious and bright study.

"Close the door." Tang Song stood at the desk, his back to her.

Jiang Yourong obediently closed the heavy wooden door.

The air in the study seemed quieter than outside.

She turned around, crossed her arms casually, and leaned against the door.

Elegantly lifting her chin, she said, "Go ahead, President Tang, what do you want to interrogate? I’ll certainly tell you everything I know, holding nothing back."

Tang Song blinked, a charming smile appeared on his face, "I heard Teacher Jiang is about to formally join [Xuanji Light Realm]? Aren’t you going to formally introduce yourself to me?"

Jiang Yourong was taken aback, instantly realizing that this was about following the ’procedure.’

She immediately put away her playful demeanor, stood upright, and flashed a dignified, intellectual professional smile.

Speaking in a crisp and neat tone, she said, "[Xuanji Light Realm]’s newly established Director of the Office of University Cooperation and Technology Transfer—Jiang Yourong reporting to you. This office directly reports to the President’s office. For the next two years, I will leave my post and participate full-time in cutting-edge research and university collaboration projects. Please guide me, President Tang."

Tang Song raised his eyebrows, "Directly reporting to the President’s office?"

"Yes." Jiang Yourong nodded candidly, her tone calm yet unable to hide the pride in her eyes, "According to Chairman Jin’s intentions, my main responsibility is to assist you in managing matters related to university cooperation, cutting-edge technology research, and patent transformation, which can be understood as... a technical assistant."

Actually, in a top-tier tech company like [Xuanji Light Realm], the technical assistant to the global CEO has a scope of authority and real influence that can almost be comparable to half a VP of Technology.

Especially in managing global academic collaborations, cutting-edge research projects, etc., the power is astonishingly significant.

Not any lower in status than Shangguan Qiuya beside Chairman Jin.

This is also why she was so excited to accept this career transition upon receiving Chairman Jin’s appointment notification.

What was lost at [Smile Holding], I, Jiang Yourong, will regain with my professional capabilities, fair and square.

"Heh, Chairman Jin really knows how to choose people." Tang Song chuckled softly and nodded.

His gaze rested on the intellectual female professor in front of him, and some fragments of memory flickered once again.

When he previously interacted with Jiang Yourong, he hadn’t yet fully recovered that lost segment of memories.

Seeing her now gave him an inexplicable sense of closeness.

When Secretary Jin was screening candidates for the assistant position, he had asked for his opinion.

He had evaluated every candidate’s data using the system tools, including Jiang Yourong.

"Actually, I do remember you. We met a few times before at [Smile Investment] in the International Trade Center, right? Assistant Jiang."

Upon hearing this affirming address, Jiang Yourong’s heart inexplicably fluttered, and her gaze towards Tang Song was filled with many indescribable complex emotions.

"Yes, President Tang." Jiang Yourong responded softly, her breath slightly thinner.

Yet her heart was racing.

She never denied the peculiar feelings she once had for this man.

Truth be told, in quiet nights, her frequent fantasy object for self-comfort was him.

Tang Song stepped closer, carefully observing her, comparing with the memories.

Their gazes met in the air, and a strange emotion was rising.

Jiang Yourong’s face flushed, and she instinctively averted her gaze, reminding him, "Tang Song..."

As soon as she spoke, suddenly there was a tightness at her waist.

Tang Song’s hand was securely placed on her waist, not heavy but firm enough to keep her from moving.

The curves of a mature woman’s soft, full body were clearly transmitted to his palm.

"Tang, Tang Song." Her voice trembled slightly, and the blush on her face quickly spread, "What are you doing?!"

"Don’t be nervous, just helping you with the entry physical check-up." Tang Song’s deep voice resonated in her ear.

As he spoke, his long fingers slipped through the seam of her jacket, directly touching the warm skin at her waist.
