9:50 p. m.

Zhao Yachian walked out of the door of Yi Sha Beauty Salon.

The rain had completely stopped, and she carried her umbrella, jogging to the bus stop.

After waiting for a while, I finally got on the bus.

Sitting down in a seat towards the back, watching the scenes flash by outside the window, Zhao Yachian felt drowsy.

As a large beauty salon, Isa's working hours are divided into morning and evening shifts.

The early shift is from 9 a. m. to 7 p. m.

The night shift runs from around noon to 10 pm.

Zhao Yachian, who was on probation, was assigned to the night shift. Since it was still a holiday, she had a lot of clients to serve.

After two days of work, my biggest feeling is that I'm tired, much more tired than at Yizi Beauty.

Open WeChat and tap on the Tang Song chat box.

The photo above is one I took myself for dinner. It was a boxed meal I ordered with my colleagues, one meat dish and two vegetable dishes, costing 14 yuan.

Below are Tang Song's emoji replies.

I wonder if it's because he's "too busy," as he said.

Zhao Yachian could sense that her programmer friend hadn't been chatting with her as frequently lately.

She took a picture of the view out the window and shared it with him, commenting, "Yancheng at 10 pm, so sleepy!"

After thinking about it, I selected a few more selfies from my work days and sent them over.

"Ding-dong—"

Tang Song: "I was just about to go to sleep, but suddenly I wasn't sleepy anymore."

Zhao Yachian chuckled and replied with a beaming smile, "Then chat with me for a bit. There aren't many people on the bus, and I'm a little scared."

The two chatted on and off like that.

By the time Zhao Yachian arrived at the station, it was already 10:30 p. m.

Yawning, Zhao Yachian immediately spotted He Liting waiting by the roadside.

Wearing a thick hoodie, he rode his electric scooter and waved at her.

Zhao Yachian quickened her pace and hugged her tightly. "Tingzi, you're so kind of you. You even came to pick me up so late at night."

"You're only realizing how good I am now? Come on, go back and wash up and go to sleep. You still have things to do."

"Mmm, gogogo."

At this time of day, there are very few people on the road, and it is indeed not safe for a young and beautiful girl like Zhao Yachian to walk alone.

Feeling guilty, He Liting made a point of finding out the time to pick her up and take her home.

The electric car slowly started moving and traveled along the wet asphalt road.

Zhao Yachian hugged her and said in a sweet voice, "Tingzi, I feel like I can adapt to Isa's job. My supervisor's evaluation of me is also pretty good. When I get a permanent position, I'll treat you to a steak buffet."

"You've been talking about this steak buffet for 100 years!"

"Hehe, I'll definitely keep my word anyway."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. I'm thinking of giving him the watch when I have some free time. What do you think I should say then?"

May 3, 2023, Wednesday, sunny, 16~26°C.

Tang Song got up early, finished training, took a shower, did skincare, and styled his hair.

I sat on the balcony and read for a while the book "Marketing Management" recommended by Gao Mengting.

When it was almost time, I changed into Zegna suit and navigated to the headquarters of Glimmer Coffee.

Huayun Center is located in Chang'an District Yancheng, with a superior geographical location and convenient transportation. It is not far from Yunxi Building.

There are three buildings: A, B, and C. The exterior facades are generally gray-brown. Buildings A and B are office buildings, while building C is a 6-story commercial complex.

Tang Song drove the car into the paid above-ground parking lot and walked through the revolving door of Building A.

After registering at the front desk, I was able to take the elevator smoothly.

On the LED screen, a video of a gym is playing on a loop.

Tang Song paused for a moment when he saw the words "Rhythm Fitness," feeling a sense of familiarity.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he took out his Mobile Phone from his pocket and opened Hu Mingli's chat window.

I scrolled up through the chat history.

...She bought a yearly membership at Rhythm Fitness (Huayun Center branch)...

Tang Song raised his eyebrows; it was indeed this place.

No wonder it felt familiar; it turns out that the Wen Ruan Fitness Center and the Glimmer Coffee office are both located in the Huayun Center.

After thinking for a moment, Tang Song left a message for Hu Mingli: "Sister Mingli, is Wen Ruan's company located in Huayun Center?"

It's becoming increasingly difficult to lower body fat percentage with just daily aerobic exercise; it seems like going to the gym is on the agenda.

Moreover, having such a sexy older sister to help him makes him even more motivated to work out.

"Ding—" The elevator stopped on the 15th floor.

After stepping out of the elevator, I walked around halfway down the corridor and finally found the company's main entrance.

The Logo Wall is very simple, with "Yancheng Glimmer Coffee Co., Ltd.." written in orange lettering.

There was no one at the front desk because it was a holiday.

The decoration wasn't high-end, but it looked clean, orderly, spacious, and bright.

After walking a few steps inside the Tang Song building, I saw a female employee near the door looking down at her Mobile Phone.

Seemingly hearing footsteps, the female employee quickly put away her Mobile Phone and looked up.

Upon seeing Tang Song's appearance clearly, a slight blush appeared on her face. She stood up and asked, "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

Tang Song said softly, "Hello, I have an appointment with Mr. Xie to meet her here at 10 o'clock."

"Oh, what's your name?"

"Tang Song".

The female employee said somewhat shyly, "Please wait here on the sofa for a while, I'll go and talk to Mr. Xie."

After saying that, he quickly left.

After a while, the sound of footsteps came from behind.

The female employee approached him and said, "Mr. Tang, Mr. Xie is in a meeting in his office. He asked me to take you to HR to sign a part-time contract first."

"No need to be so polite, just call me Tang Song. I'm a part-time programmer at the company, so we're practically colleagues."

"My name is Guo Siyu, and I'm a specialist in the Marketing Department. Let's go, I'll take you there."

The two walked along the corridor, and Guo Siyu would steal glances at him from time to time.

It's a pity it's a part-time job, otherwise it would be nice to see handsome guys every day.

Soon, the two stopped in front of an office.

Guo Siyu pushed open the door and said, "Brother Li, another person has come to sign a part-time contract. This is Tang Song, who is in charge of our company's technology development."

The HR specialist sitting at her workstation gave an OK sign. "Okay, come in, I'll look for the contract."

The office is not large, only about thirteen or fourteen square meters.

Once inside, Tang Song discovered that there were two little girls standing there.

They were dressed simply, carrying light-colored backpacks, and looked reserved with their heads down, appearing to be college students.

"Tang Song, here are your contract and Confidentiality Agreement. Please sit over there and take a look. We can discuss any questions later." The HR specialist pulled out the documents.

The girl who was closest to him quickly reached out and took it, then handed it to him.

"Thanks."

The girl replied very seriously, "You're welcome!"

The voice was very pleasant, Tang Song couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Blue jeans, loose long-sleeved T-shirt, and a white jacket over them.

She has an oval face, no makeup, bright and delicate features, and beautiful eyes with slightly upturned corners. She is very pretty.

"Qian Lele".

The pretty girl quickly replied, "Yes."

"This is yours!" The HR specialist handed her a thick file bag and smiled, "Alright, you two, your procedures are all done. Remember to put a one-inch photo on your employee ID when you get back to school."

The store manager will schedule your shifts next Monday.
