Song Pearl did not expect that the job arranged for her by Wu Qiang was not to work as a staff member in a company, but to be in charge of the Resort project in Golden Mountain Township, which included the integrated construction of the Ecological Aquaculture Park she had always dreamed of.
After a short period of training and guidance, Song Pearl took office. Although she possessed extraordinary abilities unknown to others, the difficulties encountered at the beginning of the construction left her overwhelmed.
Now, after two years of honing her skills, Song Pearl has transformed completely and firmly holds the position of General Manager of the Resort.
The two years of hardship and pressure left Song Pearl with no time to think about anything else.
However, today she was distracted and suddenly thought of her goals.
This was because she saw Song Zhenbao among the tourists.
Song Pearl may not remember many people's faces, but there are some individuals she cannot forget after seeing them just once.
Song Zhenbao is one of them.
Dressed in a white sleeveless knee-length dress, with long hair flowing, she stood out in the crowd as she excitedly took photos of the scenery with her camera.
"What are you looking at? Aren't you supposed to be in a meeting?"
The question came from the demon, which was still wrapped around Song Pearl's thumb, resembling an emerald ring.
Song Pearl frowned in displeasure. This demon seemed to have become somewhat carefree lately, energetically urging her to do this and that, as if it were the general manager instead.
Moreover, since she started her career, the demon no longer pressured her to find someone to marry like it used to.
However, Song Pearl admitted that without the demon's supervision and assistance, she would not have been able to make the residents of Song Family Village prosperous in such a short time, nor would Golden Mountain Township have gained fame so quickly, attracting waves of tourists.
Perhaps, in its past life, the demon was a successful businessman.
"I saw Song Zhenbao."
Song Pearl's eyes followed the dazzling figure in the crowd; as long as she could get the Amber hanging around her neck, the day she could go back would not be far off.
"Really!"
The demon's head perked up from Song Pearl's thumb, trying hard to see something.
"Finally back from abroad, right? She's here to take over her own business? Our general manager is about to reach the end!" The demon shrank back a bit, feeling deflated.
"Yes, finally almost at the end! I need to go get that Amber Necklace..." Song Pearl didn't notice the demon's disappointment; her gaze was fixed, and a smile spread across her lips as she prepared to chase after it.
"President Song, you are going the wrong way again!" An assistant behind her blocked Song Pearl's path, bending slightly and respectfully pointing in a direction. "The meeting is that way."
Song Pearl shot an annoyed glance at the assistant blocking her way but couldn't help noticing how polite and handsome he looked. She nodded and quickly moved ahead of him.
This assistant's name is Yuan Peng. When Song Pearl saw Yuan Peng's name during the recruitment process, she paused for a moment before agreeing.
She preferred to work with familiar people.
"Did you see that beautiful girl in the White Dress?" Song Pearl asked Yuan Peng.
"Which one?" Yuan Peng pretended not to know, keeping his gaze straight ahead.
There was only one girl in a White Dress among the group of people Song Pearl had wanted to chase after.
"Don't play dumb with me!" Song Pearl didn't look at him and directly instructed, "Follow her and find out which room she's staying in."
"We need to respect the privacy of our guests. Is she your friend or your rival?" Yuan Peng asked with a grin.
"I guess that's the chairman's daughter, visiting incognito," Song Pearl said lightly, glancing at Yuan Peng. "Haven't you always wanted to marry into a wealthy family? This is an opportunity!"
Yuan Peng's beautiful eyes showed a hurt expression as she defended herself, "Don't insult my ideals; I don't want to marry..."
"Stop rambling and go!"
With a glance from Song Pearl, Yuan Peng quickly shut her mouth, stood straight, and stepped aside, watching her walk gracefully into the hall.
He shook his head and smiled. That silly village girl from years ago could never remember what he looked like. Every time they met, she appeared confused and absent-minded.
Now, her demeanor had changed significantly in front of others, exuding a certain authoritative charm, but privately, she hadn't changed much at all.
He had been a good friend, always willing to help. For Qing Wenyu, he had given up his dream of joining the military to assist this naive Song village girl.
Fortunately, Song Pearl wasn't as foolish as she appeared; she was quite capable in business and management. She had made the Resort and Ecological Aquaculture Farm projects thrive, and his wallet was gradually filling up. He no longer complained about being her assistant.
Today's meeting was about the annual discussion for Hongqing Group, with Hong Xinran representing them. The meeting went very smoothly, and after it ended, Song Pearl didn't have time to entertain Hong Xinran. She simply said, "I have urgent matters; let's talk next time," before picking up her phone to contact Yuan Peng.
"Say, are you in love?" Hong Xinran teased as she waved goodbye to Song Pearl and elegantly got into her car.
Before long, Yuan Peng came running out from a dense patch of greenery with a few leaves stuck in her hair, slightly out of breath as she complained, "I've never heard of an assistant having to do espionage work. To get this information requires some sort of exchange! What do you say?"
Because of Song Pearl's easygoing nature, Yuan Peng never missed an opportunity to negotiate terms.
"How about you treat your friends to a hot spring entertainment package tonight—all for free?" Song Pearl asked calmly.
Yuan Peng was already used to her deadpan expression and noticed that only in the presence of Qing Wenyu did the usually serious Song Pearl become more relaxed and jovial.
Thus, he had more than once fanned the flames in Qing Wenyu's ear, saying, "I think this Song village girl is quite different from others; you seem very attentive to her. You two would make a perfect pair."
"Is she a wealthy heiress?" Qing Wenyu did not give a straightforward answer but instead asked a more practical question.
"I thought you were different from me! You have the ability if you need it, you have a good family background if you need that, and you have money if you need it," Yuan Peng feigned disappointment, dramatically clutching his chest. "You seem to be above it all, yet you're just as materialistic..."
Qing Wenyu lightly curled his lips at Yuan Peng's reaction, noncommittal.
Yuan Peng caught sight of Song Pearl's expression, which was identical to Qing Wenyu's when dealing with matters in a businesslike manner, and shook his head without hesitation. "No way, have you forgotten I have an internal card? When I take friends out, it's always completely free!"
He thought with some pride that with Song Pearl's muddled memory, managing the Resort project was largely thanks to his dedication as her assistant!
"How about this," Yuan Peng rolled his eyes and smiled, "why don't I take a three-day vacation?"
"Deal!" Song Pearl readily agreed. Yuan Peng left just in time; the two important tasks they had to do meant that this warm-hearted and straightforward person should not get involved.
"She booked the Phoenix Nest Villa. It seems she will go swimming in the hot springs later. If you want to get close to her, just wait there." After finishing, Yuan Peng looked at Song Pearl's outfit and asked again, "Do you want me to bring you some gear?"
