Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 1928 - 1922: Internet Company

After a drive lasting approximately half an hour,

they finally reached the base of a structure known as Diwang Building.

This colossal office complex housed no less than a hundred distinct companies.

A diverse array of businesses populated its floors, offering a true spectacle of variety.

Yet, amidst this multitude, a particular media company swiftly captured Chen Yang's keen observation.

"Achievement Media Co., Ltd."

His gaze fixed on the company's prominent sign as he voiced its name aloud.

"Indeed, this is the very company; it's situated on the eighth floor," Wang Jingman confirmed, her attention also drawn to the sign.

"Haha, your friend’s colleague appears quite grounded, calling it 'Achievement.' That's a rather sensible name, wouldn't you say?" Chen Yang remarked with a playful grin.

The name struck him as somewhat unusual for a modern, online-focused enterprise.

Typically, such businesses adopted names that were more vogue and contemporary.

He found this particular moniker quite unconventional.

"Perhaps the owner is of an older generation and favors names that convey a sense of stability," Wang Jingman responded with a chuckle, before ushering Chen Yang into Diwang Building and navigating them towards the eighth floor via elevator.

While the exterior sign was unassuming, stepping inside yielded an unexpected delight.

The entire eighth floor was dedicated to the company, boasting trendy decor and a refreshing aesthetic that exuded a vibrant and relaxed ambiance.

"Welcome to Achievement Media Co., Ltd."

A cheerful greeting emanated from the company's reception desk as Chen Yang and Wang Jingman emerged from the elevator.

As an e-commerce entity, the company clearly understood the appeal of employing attractive staff; three uniformed beauties staffed the reception, a pleasing sight and remarkably courteous.

"Hello, how may we assist you today?"

One of the long-haired receptionists stepped forward gracefully, a smile gracing her lips as she addressed the pair.

"We're here to see Manager Qi," Wang Jingman replied politely, her smile mirroring the receptionist's.

"Looking for Manager Qi? Esteemed guests, please allow me to escort you," the receptionist responded with a smile, commencing their journey deeper into the company premises.

As they proceeded, both Wang Jingman and Chen Yang couldn't help but cast curious glances around, taking in the surroundings.

Their initial impression of the company was overwhelmingly positive; the atmosphere felt exceptionally congenial.

Furthermore, on their path toward the management offices, they passed by several glass-walled live streaming studios.

Within these spaces, enthusiastic hosts were actively showcasing products, each in possession of their respective merchandise.

Altogether, the impression was one of a bustling enterprise thriving with positive momentum.

"We’ve arrived. This is Manager Qi’s office; please proceed," the receptionist announced, guiding them to the entrance of a rather spacious office.

"Thank you very much," Wang Jingman responded.

After a polite thank you, the receptionist departed. Wang Jingman then raised her hand to initiate contact with the door.

Knock, knock.

"Enter," a voice called out.

The moment the knock echoed, a man's mature voice responded from within.

Acknowledging the invitation, Wang Jingman pushed the door open and stepped inside.

Upon entering the office, she observed an older gentleman seated within. He was partially bald, somewhat stout, embodying the quintessential image of a somewhat unkempt middle-aged man.

Nevertheless, his attire was presentable, alleviating any immediate sense of distaste.

Sharing the space was a woman with voluminous, wavy red hair, whose fashion sense leaned towards mature sophistication, yet she retained a youthful and attractive appearance.

"Oh, Jingman! You've arrived! Why didn't you inform me sooner? I would have gladly met you at the entrance," the woman exclaimed.

Recognizing Wang Jingman, the woman rose swiftly and approached, her countenance beaming with a smile, suggesting a close acquaintance.

"Qingqing, it’s been too long. Since you sent me the precise location, I didn't wish to impose, and coming here directly is just as convenient," Wang Jingman replied with a smile, maintaining her ever-courteous demeanor.

Chen Yang subtly appraised Liu Qingqing, from head to toe, without fully understanding why.

Even from that brief assessment, he harbored a distinct feeling that this woman was not entirely trustworthy.

Despite the outwardly positive environment they had just witnessed, Chen Yang found himself grappling with an inexplicable sense of unease.

"Ah, Jingman, you're just as considerate as you were back in school, always trying not to inconvenience others. What's the issue between friends? It's really no trouble at all," Liu Qingqing stated warmly. She casually linked arms with Wang Jingman, preparing to introduce her to the middle-aged man, when her attention was caught by Chen Yang standing beside them.

"Oh, and who might this gentleman be?" Liu Qingqing inquired, looking towards Wang Jingman with a hint of curiosity.

"Uh..." Wang Jingman began to respond.

However, Liu Qingqing interjected with a smile, “Jingman, is this your boyfriend? He’s quite handsome; you two make a lovely pair.â€

“Hello, handsome, I am Liu Qingqing, Jingman’s closest friend from our university days. Today, I’ve brought you here to discuss a project proposal, hoping we can collaborate and mutually benefit,†Liu Qingqing initiated a friendly conversation with Chen Yang, projecting an aura of warmth.

Nevertheless, the seed of doubt had already been sown within Chen Yang; something felt decidedly amiss.

However, without any concrete proof, Chen Yang decided against revealing it. As such, he responded amicably, "Haha, Jingman mentioned you on our journey here; the fact that you'd think of each other for such a significant business deal truly highlights the strength of your bond."

This remark evidently pleased Liu Qingqing, who exclaimed, "Haha, naturally, Jingman and I were exceptionally close back in the day, always together. Isn't that right, Jingman?"

"Haha, indeed it is," Wang Jingman chimed in.

Witnessing her old friend's evident enthusiasm, Wang Jingman couldn't help but break into a wide smile.

"Alright, let's set aside our reminiscing for the moment and dive straight into business. Once we're concluded, I'll treat you both to dinner, and then we can catch up properly," Liu Qingqing suggested with a smile. She then guided Wang Jingman towards the desk, introducing her to the gentleman present, "Manager Qi, this is my former classmate, Wang Jingman, the one I told you about."

"Jingman, this is Manager Qi, whom I also mentioned. We will be entering into a collaboration with him this time."

"Haha, it’s a pleasure to meet you, Manager Qi," Wang Jingman greeted, extending her hand with a smile, taking the initiative.

"Manager Wang, as they say, 'hearing is not seeing,' and your presence today is truly a delight!"

Manager Qi reciprocated courteously. After a handshake with Wang Jingman, he promptly motioned for her and Chen Yang to take seats by the tea table.

He even went the extra mile, selecting the finest tea leaves to serve Chen Yang and Wang Jingman.

In undertakings like business cooperation, a period of pleasantries and informal conversation is standard practice upon the initial meeting.

Once these initial formalities were smoothly navigated, the core discussion commenced.

"Manager Wang, Manager Chen, you should both possess some understanding of our industry, correct? It's a field where profits are swift, entry is straightforward, and with a few popular streamers onboard, it's akin to earning money while lounging," Manager Qi proclaimed grandly, painting a picture of effortless financial gain.

Wang Jingman responded with a smile, "I've already discussed the basics with Qingqing, and I do have some familiarity with this sector. It's precisely this interest that has brought me here to learn more and explore potential cooperation."

"Manager Qi, Jingman possesses considerable capability and a deep understanding, just as I informed you. Let's focus on the crucial points; our time is quite valuable," Liu Qingqing interjected with a smile, her tone suggesting that even a moment's delay could jeopardize the collaboration and the lucrative opportunities.

"Haha, since Manager Wang is already well-informed, I shall refrain from elaborating on trivial matters. Let us proceed directly to discussing the terms of our collaboration," Manager Qi chuckled, electing to bypass further preamble and move directly into the negotiation phase.

Having approached this cooperation with genuine intent, Wang Jingman listened with utmost concentration.
