Chapter 1917: Chapter 641: The Great Earthquake (Part 2)

And with such a great opportunity like the "school anniversary" to play the emotional card, she didn’t believe the Quan City side would let it slip easily.

So from that moment on, she had already started preparing in secret.

"Da-da-da—"

Her fingers flew over the keyboard, producing crisp, rapid clicks.

In the corner of the room, several packed cardboard boxes were stacked up, labeled with marker: "Yanyan’s books," "Qingqing’s clothes"...

Today was the moving day they had agreed on, but she clearly had no mind to deal with any of it.

Time ticked by second after second, yet Tang Song’s call still hadn’t come.

Shen Yuyan was as anxious as an Ant on a hot wok, unable to sit still.

Several times she wanted to pick up her phone and call again to confirm, but reason kept reminding her over and over to stay calm and dignified.

More than half an hour passed.

"Ring-ring-ring—" That familiar ringtone, like the music of heaven itself, finally rang out!

[Tang Song]

Shen Yuyan practically snatched up the phone in an instant, her voice carrying a tremor she herself hadn’t noticed: "Hello! President Tang, I’m here!"

Her heart was pounding like a drum.

On the other end, Tang Song’s voice came with a hint of amusement: "If I remember right, you’re moving with Qingqing today, aren’t you?"

Shen Yuyan answered decisively at once: "It’s fine, everything’s already packed, and I’ve contacted the moving company. Whatever’s left, Qingqing can handle on her own."

"All right then, work some overtime and head straight to Quan City today."

Shen Yuyan’s eyes instantly lit up, her blood boiling with excitement.

"Okay! I’ll contact the Quan City government office right away to confirm Mayor Li’s detailed schedule for tomorrow, and seamlessly align your itinerary with theirs. Oh, by the way, President Tang, I’ve compiled a file and will send it to your email in a bit. That way, you’ll hold all the initiative the moment you sit down with them."

"Mm, thank you for the hard work."

"It’s not hard at all, I’m very happy to be at your service, President Tang."

"Hehe, alright, that’s it for now. Go get ready, we’ll be in touch later."

"Mm-hmm, bye-bye~~"

She hung up.

Shen Yuyan let out a long breath and wiggled her hips in excitement.

Just then, the bedroom door was pushed open.

Xu Qing came skipping over. "Yanyan! Are you done or not? The movers are almost here!"

"Qingqing, I’m leaving the move entirely in your hands, I’m going on a business trip to Quan City!"

Shen Yuyan was saving her documents while quickly packing up her work bag.

Xu Qing’s eyes widened. "Wait... leaving it to me? There’s so much stuff, and the handover for this apartment too..."

Shen Yuyan cut her off directly: "I trust you can handle it! Oh right, you can ask that junior Lingling of yours to come help, too. Consider it a chance to get closer. Okay, I’ve got very important work to take care of, don’t disturb me!"

With that, Shen Yuyan grabbed her laptop and dashed into the bedroom in a flurry.

She shut the door with a "bang," leaving Xu Qing standing there, completely dumbfounded.

Only heaven knew, she’d originally planned for her bestie to show up in the afternoon to hold down the fort.

With her B-cup plus her bestie’s C+, they could totally go head-to-head against Cheng Qiuyu’s D and Yao Lingling’s A.

...

Inside the bedroom.

Shen Yuyan took a deep breath, adjusted her expression and breathing, and forced herself to calm down.

She dialed the secretary of the Quan City mayor.

"Hello, Secretary Wang, this is Shen Yuyan from Rongliu Capital."

A polished, emotionally intelligent, and watertight conversation unfolded elegantly over the next ten minutes.

Near the end of the call, Secretary Wang confirmed one last time:

"Alright, Assistant Shen. Since Mr. Tang has no further comments regarding the schedule, we’ll proceed on our side with formally assigning the reception tasks. Please rest assured, we’ll make sure this meeting with Mr. Tang is pleasant, smooth, and free from any disturbances."

"Thank you for the trouble, Secretary Wang. I’m setting off from Yan City now and should arrive in Quan City before noon."

"Goodbye." "Goodbye."

When Shen Yuyan hung up, her heart was still surging.

The Quan City government was demonstrating unprecedented importance, astonishing execution, and thorough preparation for this meeting.

During the call just now, the other party hadn’t even hesitated before locking in all the core details with her—security routes, the list of accompanying city-level officials, and the meeting venue.

Of course, with Shen Yuyan’s sharp mind,

she understood very well that the reason they were so efficient

was because, in this mere day and a half, they had already conducted a deep and comprehensive background check and assessment on Tang Song and the clout of Rongliu Capital through various channels.

And choosing to place this formal "confirmation call" on the day before the school anniversary, the timing was just right.

It left sufficient time for internal preparations, while not being so early as to seem too deliberate or overeager.

To go to Quan City, to his hometown, to engage with government institutions, to get close to his private life...

This filled her with an unprecedented sense of anticipation for the upcoming trip to Quan City.

Over ten minutes later.

A white shirt, silk camisole, suit skirt, cashmere coat...

Shen Yuyan changed into her "battle outfit," said goodbye to Xu Qing, and walked out of the North City Garden Community with her small suitcase in hand.

She got into the waiting black Audi A6L.

The car slowly merged into the stream of traffic heading for the expressway.

Leaning back against the wide, comfortable rear seat, Shen Yuyan watched the familiar cityscape race backward outside the window.

Only now did that excitement, shrouded in the Halo of power, finally surge over her like a late-arriving tide.
