Chapter 1857: Chapter 626: Xie Shuyu and Zhao Yaqian_4

Under the guidance of the usher, the two of them took the internal elevator to the second floor.

They passed through an elegant corridor and entered a private lounge.

Xie Shuyu curiously surveyed her surroundings.

The design here leaned more towards feminine grace—velvet sofas, marble coffee tables, with a quiet and comfortable atmosphere.

The two walked a few steps further.

A tall and graceful figure caught her eye.

A young woman, appearing to be under 20, was leaning casually on the sofa.

A simple silk camisole dress outlined her exquisite and youthful curves, exposing a large area of milk-white, smooth skin.

Her features were stunning, with slightly curled, wine-red long hair cascading like seaweed.

The whole person looked like a ripe summer berry, waiting to be tasted.

Of course, the most eye-catching was naturally her stunningly long legs.

Her thighs were plump and rounded, while her calves were slender and long, like the enchanting tension of a wine glass.

Hearing the commotion, Zhao Yaqian raised her head and broke into a brilliant smile, standing up proactively, "Sister Rong, you’re here!"

"Qianqian." Zhang Yurong quickly walked forward, warmly taking her hand:

"Come, let me introduce you. This is the friend I often mentioned to you, the founder of Glimmer Coffee, President Xie Shuyu."

"Shuyu, this is my investor and the current owner of this club, Zhao Yaqian."

"Hello, Sister Shuyu." Zhao Yaqian’s voice was sweet and pleasant, with a barely noticeable tremor.

Her gaze was carefully assessing the charismatic female president.

She was shorter than her but appeared especially graceful and intellectual.

Her features were bright, her skin fair, her eyes clear.

A black coat, stockings, pencil skirt.

She looked like the kind of woman who was decisive and intensely intelligent in the business arena.

Of course, that wasn’t what mattered; what mattered was that she was also one of Tang Song’s girlfriends.

"Hello, Qianqian." Xie Shuyu showed a gentle, formulaic smile, gently shook her hand for a moment, and then released it, "Sister Yurong has praised you in front of me, saying you are young and capable, with unique insight. It’s true that seeing you today, you live up to the name."

Her voice was magnetic, her pace measured, filled with the stability and composure unique to a female president.

Their eyes met.

Two distinct feminine auras clashed silently.

"You’re too kind... not at all..." Zhao Yaqian was a bit flustered and shy, subconsciously avoiding eye contact.

Xie Shuyu only glanced at her, already forming a general perception of her in her mind.

A well-protected, exquisitely beautiful young girl, pretty in a non-threatening way, with clear eyes and little scheming.

"Come, come, don’t just stand there, have a seat."

"Sister Shuyu, try this, it’s our club’s special ’Morning Dew Rose’, calming and beautifying, the flavor is particularly good."

"Thank you."

The three sat in the lounge area and began to chat casually.

Zhang Yurong and Xie Shuyu were both adept in social situations, able to bring up light topics with just a few words.

They tacitly avoided talking about business cooperation unfamiliar to Zhao Yaqian, instead discussing topics of interest to women such as beauty, fashion, and travel.

And they both intentionally or unintentionally "complimented" Zhao Yaqian.

For a moment, the atmosphere was very harmonious, just like a "long-overdue friends’ afternoon tea."

Seeing the smooth progress, Zhao Yaqian’s nervous heart finally settled. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Her courageous approach to engage with the other party was not due to any private motive.

It was purely by the orders from Sister Smile.

Just last week, she went to Smile Holding Headquarters and officially joined the Smile Charity Foundation as an honorary chairperson.

Though it’s only honorary, this identity still allows her to attend the foundation’s high-level meetings.

She gained her first mainstream society-recognized, glittering official title.

Of course, it also inevitably involved a second encounter with Jin Meixiao.

She received "instructions" from the other party.

Apart from Xie Shuyu, she next had to use this platform, the TC Private Club, to contact Tian Jing and Wen Ruan.

The information about these two people, she only recently heard from Xue.

She didn’t know what Sister Smile was planning to do.

But it certainly couldn’t be...

Like the joke Xue made last night, planning to gather them together and then poison them in the tea, could it?
