79: Cao Lang, the mysterious behind-the-scenes capital tycoon

Xingyao Media's CEO office.

Li Na and Jiang Mengyuan were tasting tea face-to-face.

Li Na wore a blue and white slim-fit dress that hugged her graceful figure. With an elegant temperament and a straight back, she sat in the main seat, holding an exquisite Zisha teapot between her thumb and index finger to pour tea for Jiang Mengyuan.

Jiang Mengyuan wore a high-end grey suit that was slim and beautiful, perfectly showcasing her exquisite curves without appearing cliché. She leaned forward slightly as Li Na poured the tea, her attitude humble.

She had been studying hard in socialite classes these past few days, paying a high price for one-on-one home guidance from Teacher First Love. Between her every move, she now possessed a hint of a leader's demeanor.

Both of them had become CEOs!

One was originally a receptionist, and the other was just a lawyer's secretary. Simply because they met a man named Cao, through discovery and cultivation, a favorable wind lent its strength to send them up to the blue clouds. They both actually became CEOs.

Who could handle such a fantastical experience!

"Sister Li Na, did you just say that Brother's 'urban tycoon' was taken down, so he's filming short dramas?"

Jiang Mengyuan's high chest rose and fell slightly. Her pretty face was frosted with anger, and her voice was slightly cold.

"Yes... Now the entirety of Xingyao Media is preparing to film this drama well. However, this is only a film and television adaptation after all; the original novel still can't be published."

Li Na spoke calmly and unhurriedly.

The two of them had once acquired Zhonglang Game Company together. At that time, an unintentional act by Jiang Mengyuan had opened Li Na's heart, eventually leading her to become Cao Lang's woman, and the two became unbreakable allies because of it.

Because they were kindred spirits, the closeness of their relationship far exceeded that of ordinary best friends.

Suddenly, Jiang Mengyuan's expression brightened as she thought of a solution.

"Sister Li Na, I think that although Short Video Platform is a game company, developing a novel app shouldn't be a problem. I can have my subordinates develop a reading software specifically for Brother Cao Lang to vigorously promote his novels and let them be seen by more people!"

"That's a great idea! Our Xingyao Media can invest and handle the publicity for you. I'll have the Streamers under our banner promote it for you... Our promotional channels are very powerful."

After hearing this, Li Na felt it was feasible, and a sustainable development strategy immediately formed in her mind.

If the short drama becomes a hit, it can drive the novel's revenue; similarly, if the novel becomes a hit, it can feed traffic back to the short drama. It's a win-win situation.

Furthermore, if the reading software Jiang Mengyuan develops gains users, it could even lead to more business channels in the future.

Currently, novel copyrights are monopolized by major reading apps. If they developed their own reading app, they could save a lot on copyright fees when adapting them for film and television in the future.

Li Na had incredible execution power; thinking of this level, she immediately began arranging the investment procedures.

Meanwhile, Jiang Mengyuan made a phone call to give notice, and Zhonglang Company immediately set about researching and developing a novel reading app.

Both were CEOs with 100% control, bosses whose word was law. They could do whatever they wanted with their companies... This was a small indulgence of power.

When a man holds power, he might be relatively rational, strategizing and weighing gains and losses; when a woman holds power, she can be more emotional, doing whatever comes to mind, even more restless than a man.

...Cao Lang arrived downstairs at the Xingyao Media headquarters and only sent a message to Li Na after entering the elevator.

Seeing the message on her phone, Li Na's face flushed. A brilliant smile appeared on her face as she stood up excitedly and said to Jiang Mengyuan, "CEO Cao is coming. Let's go out and greet him."

"Is Brother here? It seems I made the right choice coming to your place today; Brother never comes to see me at my company."

Jiang Mengyuan was also very excited. She hadn't seen Cao Lang for a long time.

She changed her ultra-thin stockings and Balenciaga lace panties inside her suit pants every day, but she never had the chance to show them to her beloved!

Jiang Mengyuan suddenly grabbed Li Na's hand and said in a low, soft voice, "Sister Li Na... I haven't seen Brother in so long. Can you let me today..."

Li Na gently rolled her charming eyes and lightly poked Jiang Mengyuan's smooth forehead with her finger, saying helplessly, "You, oh you, what do you take my place for?"

After a pause, she added, "Just this once."

"Thank you, Sister Li Na!"

After getting Li Na's approval, Jiang Mengyuan jumped for joy.

However, she was wearing stiletto heels and almost sprained her ankle upon landing. It was only after Li Na supported her that her excitement calmed down, and she stuck out her tongue.

If the employees of Zhonglang Company saw this, their jaws would probably drop in shock! Their usually high-and-mighty boss was actually such a contrast in private?

The two went to wait at the elevator entrance. Both female CEOs were rare beauties, and their presence at the elevator entrance intimidated the employees waiting there.

"Hello, CEO Li!"

"CEO Li, please use the elevator first. We can wait."

"Oh, no need. President Jiang and I are waiting for someone here."

Waiting for someone? What kind of person required CEO Li to receive them personally?

Just as everyone was wondering, the elevator doors opened, and a strikingly handsome man stepped out!

He had sword-like eyebrows and eyes like stars, a face as fine as crown jade, and a posture as straight as a pine tree. His temperament was cool and detached, making him the center of attention with every move!

"So handsome!"

"Is this the man CEO Li is waiting for? Could he be a newly signed male model?"

"Wait, this face looks like the CEO Cao from a few days ago."

While everyone else was surprised, Li Na and Jiang Mengyuan were also stunned.

The Cao Lang before them had changed so much; he was like an upgraded version of his former self.

In the eyes of the two women, Cao Lang had always been mysterious. Not only was he exceptionally talented, but his family background was also as wealthy as a nation. It wasn't surprising for him to become even more handsome.

After a moment of shock, the two women immediately flanked him, calling him CEO Cao. Their posture was like that of two little handmaidens.

Under the gaze of the employees, Cao Lang was respectfully invited into the CEO's office by the two female CEOs.

The heavy door closed, blocking everyone's view.

Someone swallowed hard and murmured, "Who on earth is this CEO Cao!"

"Could CEO Li be this CEO Cao's white glove?"

"I don't think it's that simple. Big shots in high society always like to support their own canaries. I think..."

"Hush! Talking about your own CEO in the workplace—are you tired of living?!"

The discussion in the crowd immediately died down. Everyone entered the elevators and went about their work.

However, Cao Lang's reputation had completely spread among the high-level management of Xingyao Media.

Everyone knew that although Li Na was the nominal CEO of Xingyao Media, there was an even more terrifying capital force manipulating her from behind!

Even President Jiang of Zhonglang Game Company was not exempt!

That person was the mysterious CEO Cao!
