Shen Yi reflected on Tang Qing's meteoric rise while arriving at Comet Films, where Lin Jiaxue and the girls delivered Tang Nian’er for her internship under Wang Yan. Qin Shiqi and Qin Shiyu headed to their assigned posts, with Shiqi warmly welcomed at Comet Group headquarters by Pu Chaodong and introduced to Vice President Liu Qin as her new assistant. Liu Qin and her staff marveled at Shiqi's extensive prior experience across Sky Eye Group's departments, affirming her powerful background.

From the female assistant's perspective.

At the very least.

To let Qin Shiqi roam freely across departments in the Tianyan Group, she'd need backing from someone at manager level or higher. Even deputy general rank stands out as exceptional.

Considering this.

The female assistant believed she'd pieced together the reality.

Hmm!

It has to be someone from Tianyan's upper echelons.

Yet.

Who exactly?

The female assistant pondered deeply yet drew a blank. Tianyan Group wasn't based in the Shanghai Stock Market, so she lacked deep knowledge of its staff setup.

"Su Yan."

"Present."

The female assistant jolted back to the moment.

"Escort Shiqi to her desk and introduce her to the tasks involved."

"Got it."

At the workstation, documents were pulled out, and Qin Shiqi flipped through them with ease. Having researched her internship spot beforehand, she was prepared.

In no time.

She grasped the workflow.

As an assistant.

It's mainly about relaying info and supporting tasks. Actually, items reaching deputy general level tend to be light on details.

Mostly strategic calls.

During peak times.

It's intensely hectic.

During lulls.

It's truly laid-back. Even meetings have dedicated staff for notes. Over an entire day at her desk, Qin Shiqi handled just five calls.

And printed one report.

July.

Senior interns from Yantang University started arriving at their placements. Local firms set up everything perfectly, showing huge eagerness.

They realized.

This fervor stemmed straight from Tang Qing's clout.

All at once.

Selecting Yantang University felt like a stroke of genius. Loads of firms eyed them for post-grad hires.

Hearing those offers.

Plenty turned them down, aiming for advanced degrees.

Still.

A few accepted, since the spots were back home. Landing a solid gig nearby sounded ideal.

Park.

Office.

Tang Qing kept at his beloved pursuit—design work. Mostly no need for actual building, pure amusement, crafting whatever sparked joy.

Unlike earlier.

These days.

Thanks to enhanced spatial powers. Any design needing mechanical work skips the tedious center grind.

One thought.

Instantly.

Space forces shape materials to nanoscale precision.

Before his eyes.

Crucial intel flickered past occasionally.

Military.

Technology.

Politics.

Instantly aware of the Polar Bear Emperor's covert summit, then Area 51 secrets in the US laid bare.

Abruptly.

News popped up.

"A village in southern Mozambique reports low-risk contagion; samplers en route."

Upon reading it.

Tang Qing stayed composed.

For such alerts frequently crossed his view. Global fighter surveillance heavily tracks viral threats.

Detection triggers.

Swift sample collection.

Testing.

Analysis.

Vaccine creation. The streamlined bio-pharma setup slashes standard vaccine timelines to a mere week.

Incredibly fast.

Post-development, Tang Qing typically deploys stealth injections to patients plus containment tactics.

Bottom line.

Cut deaths to the minimum.

Ultimately.

In Tang Qing's eyes, global chaos held no appeal. Profiting off vaccines? Zero draw.

Printing cash.

Doesn't that beat it?

Eighteenth.

Africa.

Congo Gold.

Vast estate.

"Mr. Angke, as old acquaintances, I'll speak plainly: we'd like your firm to settle trades in euros going forward."

"Why?"

"…"

That query.

Froze the guest solid.

Why, really.

Feigning ignorance.

Lately, Congo Gold's magnate scooped up tons of local agribusiness import-export outfits, revamping them wholesale.

Intra-Euro deals used euros.

But.

Exports elsewhere overwhelmingly shifted to Asia Dollar. Probes confirmed other switchers matched this.

Either.

They'd secured Myanmar Bank Group financing already.

Or.

They figured it'd snag loans.

All told.

April through July now, Euro Central Bank stats revealed steady drops in euro use for global goods trades.

One quarter.

Dropped 1.5 percent.

Shocking plunge.

Hence.

Lobbyists fanned out worldwide, hitting African firms first amid strained colonial histories.

Some ties lingered faintly.

Yet.

Slowly it dawned.

Surface courtesy masked rejection; Myanmar's allure baffled them. Replies brushed off, this the tenth such.

"Surely you know the euro ranks second globally."

"Oh."

"Asia Dollar's shine is fleeting."

"Oh."

"…"

The lobbyist teetered on rage explosion.

Oh?

Oh come on.

That dismissive?

As for chatting.

No fear of EU import bans later? Inhaling sharply, "Mr. Angke, the EU remains a key ally."

"Apologies."

Angke grinned.

"True, EU's an ally, but not exclusive. Eurozone woes persist, euro fades, Asia Dollar surges."

"At minimum."

"Short-term, Asia Dollar suits better." Angke stayed nonchalant.

"You…"

The guest gnashed teeth furiously.

"Yet your firm holds massive euro loans." Angke's old outfit borrowed from Euro banks—hence the visit.

Failing that.

No ties.

Forcing 'reality checks'? EU lacks such pull.

"No worries."

"Repaid next week." Angke laughed softly.

"Source of funds?"

"Asia Dollar swap."

"…"

Guest struck silent anew; he knew the drill. Asia Dollar payments for Myanmar goods yield discounts. March hit $400 billion turnover.

Buyers swapped national cash via states or firms for Asia Dollars, pocketing savings. Today, Asia Dollars exchange effortlessly.

Anywhere for.

USD.

Euros.

Effortless.

To average eyes, settling EU debts delights them, paving more paths—unless Angke refuses.

Others might bite.

But.

It's trickier.

Trade splits.

Into exports and internal; nations crave forex mainly for import-export. When a currency's trade demand wanes.

Then.

Lending to local traders possible.

But.

Nationally, such reserves lose prime value; skipping foreign buys turns them burdensome.

Sure.

Normally myriad forex needs prevent extremes. Firms skip euro loans? States still crave.

Yet complexity reigns, chiefly from the International Organization.

Its rule.

Asia Dollar loan recipients must cap other-currency gov debts, forcing Angke's euro payback to Euro Central Bank.

Borrowers dwindle though.

Angke rejects.

Some nations too.

Not minor; slashes liquidity by hundreds of billions euros. Current trajectory, year-end.

May drop euro's global trade payment slice another point at least, worse likely. Chain fallout, dire indeed.
