9 p. m.

Songmei Clothing.

"Yes! Today's prices are incredibly attractive; we're mainly here to clear out our inventory!"

"This is a two-piece set from Osti, featuring a blouse that goes well with both dress pants and skirts. It also has a small detail on the sleeves. It's a plus-size, authentic piece that fits weights from 110 to 120 pounds. It's 79 yuan, and only 6 pieces are currently in stock..."

"Don't worry if you missed out... Joining our fan group will give you priority shipping..."

In the live broadcast room, He Liting was full of energy, with a clear and pleasant voice and a moderate speaking speed.

Whether it's showcasing products, trying on clothes, or interacting with the audience, they handle it all with ease.

Outside the camera's view, in the office area, Tang Song sat in his office chair, his eyes fixed on the data dashboard on his computer.

Transaction amount in the live broadcast room: ¥107,034, number of items sold: 1,381, average number of online viewers: 1,032, new followers: 716.

The live stream started at 5 p. m. and has been going on for 4 hours now.

Including Gao Mengting, three girls with live streaming experience took turns appearing on stage, trying their best to liven up the atmosphere of the live stream.

"Mr. Tang." Operations manager Liu Renjie excitedly approached and whispered, "This month's GMV (gross merchandise volume) has exceeded one million."

"Hey! Let me tell Lili that the broadcast will end in 10 minutes." Tang Song stood up and stretched comfortably.

Gao Mengting, who was drinking coffee on the sofa, looked up with a bright smile on her face.

Although everything was as expected, I still couldn't help but feel excited when I actually achieved this goal.

The two exchanged a glance and, in perfect unison, extended their right hands.

"Clap!" A crisp clapping sound rang out.

After the live stream ended, excited chatter filled the office.

Tang Song's face broke into a wide smile.

Open the company's red envelopes, each containing 15 red envelopes, each containing 200 yuan.

Soon, a deafening cheer erupted.

"General Xie!" "Mr. Tang! You're amazing!"

"I love you, Mr. Tang!" "Mr. Tang is the most handsome!"

The anchor, Wang Qingya, rushed up and, taking advantage of the lively atmosphere, gave Tang Song a hug, thus gaining a small advantage.

He Liting's eyes turned green with envy.

How outrageous! Mr. Tang didn't even resist? This is indecent assault!

Immediately afterwards, she shouted "Mr. Tang so handsome!" and went up to hug him.

The overwhelming scent made He Liting blush, her heart race, and her breathing quicken.

A colleague asked loudly, "Mr. Tang, didn't you say before that if our GMV exceeded one million this month, you'd give us a big surprise? What could it be?"

"Could it be the red envelope from earlier?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Tang Song smiled and said, "You'll find out in a few days. I'll make sure everyone is satisfied."

The interior decoration of the new office is basically completed; the remaining work mainly involves the three live-streaming studios.

Huiguang Decoration attaches great importance to this project, and has the best construction and design teams. It is expected to be completed by next Friday.

After celebrating and tidying up the live stream room, colleagues gradually left work.

Tang Song and Gao Mengting stood in front of the familiar floor-to-ceiling window, chatting about the upcoming recruitment and the leasing of the new warehouse, while overlooking the night view of the bustling city.

The rain has stopped, and the damp road reflects the neon lights. A continuous stream of vehicles forms a bright yellow ribbon, flowing between the high-rise buildings.

He Liting slung her backpack over her shoulder, picked up her umbrella, and looked at her two business partners standing side by side, her eyes filled with envy.

"Mr. Tang, President Gao, I'm leaving now, bye-bye~"

"Bye-bye, drive carefully." "Bye-bye."

As He Liting walked out of the company and waited for the elevator, He Liting took out her Mobile Phone and saw that there was an unread message.

[Qianqian: "Tingzi, I'm sleeping with Brother Song here in Yanjing Sky City tonight. I bought you some fruit and yogurt, they're in the fridge. Remember to eat them when you get back."]

He Liting: "Okay, thank you, darling."

After sending the message, He Liting couldn't help but sigh and Mo Mo cheer herself up.

Now that he has been recognized by Mr. Tang and is about to become a live streamer, it can be considered that he has latched onto a powerful figure.

Although she didn't have the same good fortune as Qianqian and President Gao, it was already very precious for her, given her ordinary family background and abilities.

Beicheng Garden Residential Area.

Having taken half a day off today, Xu Qing finished writing early.

After chatting in the book club group for a while, I started preparing for my date with Tang Song tomorrow.

After much deliberation, I finally picked out the clothes I wanted to wear.

It's also an outfit, but it doesn't look out of place in this season.

With everything prepared, Xu Qing took half a watermelon out of the refrigerator.

Sitting cross-legged on the sofa in the living room, I watched TV shows on my tablet while slurping up the Cool, Cool, sweet Kirin Melon with a spoon.

"Click—" The lock turned and the door was gently pushed open.

Shen Yuyan, wearing a beige dress and with her hair tied up, walked in from outside. "Qing Qing."

Xu Qing looked up and said with delight, "Yan Yan, you're finally back! It's almost 10 o'clock."

Shen Yuyan changed into slippers, hung up her bag, and suddenly stared at her back, her face serious. "Wait a minute, don't move! It looks like there's a bug on your shoulder."

Xu Qing's expression froze instantly; she had been terrified of insects since she was a child.

"Tap tap tap—" Shen Yuyan quickly approached and patted her on the back, "All done."

While Xu Qing turned her head, Shen Yuyan quickly snatched the watermelon from her hand and started showing it off to herself.

Once she realized what was happening, Xu Qing angrily pounced on her.

"Scheming Yan! You tricked me again! I trusted you so much."

"Please, I've been using this trick on myself since junior high, but you... Ouch! Don't grab my chest!"

After playing around for a while, the two stopped, panting.

They leaned together, watching TV shows and eating watermelon.

Xu Qing complained, "Ever since you started your business, you haven't spent a long time watching TV series or movies with me. You're usually too busy!"

"Pfft—" Shen Yuyan with a smile, "The way you're talking, anyone who didn't know better would think you were talking to your boyfriend."

"If you were my boyfriend, I would have dumped you long ago," Xu Qing muttered, continuing to eat her melon seeds heartily.

Shen Yuyan rubbed her head and sighed helplessly, "It's really too difficult for a woman to make a name for herself in the business world."

"What's wrong?" Xu Qing keenly noticed that something was off about her.

Shen Yuyan was silent for a moment, then said, "This afternoon, Hou Shaoyuan asked me if I wanted to go to his father to ask for investment."

"Isn't this a good thing? I remember his family is in the foreign trade business and they're quite wealthy."

"Hehe." Shen Yuyan her arms. "If his family were willing to pay, we would have secured funding long ago. His idea is that I go there as his girlfriend, so his father will agree."

Hou Shaoyuan's family is indeed wealthy, with assets worth tens of millions.

But that money belongs to his parents; he receives it monthly from an insurance fund set up by his family.

Xu Qing exclaimed in surprise, and asked nervously, "Then what did you say?"

"I refused."

Xu Qing patted her chest. "That's good, that's good. I always felt like I'd sold you out."

She had already bought the 4090 and was planning to dress up Liang Liang to meet Tang Song, and then stage a scene of saving her best friend.

"None of that matters, but!" Shen Yuyan paused for a moment, her gaze turning cold, and said, "The company isn't just mine; I'm only the second-largest shareholder. Instead of thinking about how to develop it, Zhang Tianqi and Hou Shaoyuan are playing dirty tricks at this crucial moment, and that's what I can't tolerate the most."

She has always known what her greatest strength is, so she doesn't mind being pursued by others.

However, this incident also proved that the two partners were truly unreliable and their minds were not on starting a business at all.

The company's current shareholding structure is as follows: Zhang Tianqi (42%), Shen Yuyan (40%), Hou Shaoyuan (14%), Li Meixia (2%), Wang Ning (2%).

Her hope is that everyone will work together to take the company to a new level, so that all shareholders can benefit and everyone can achieve a win-win situation.

But now it seems that her idea was too simplistic.

Her full chest heaved, and Shen Yuyan's eyes flickered.

Unfortunately, she lacked sufficient capital to back her up; otherwise, she could have used various means to dilute their shares and gain control of the company.

Xu Qing pursed her lips, unable to suppress her smugness any longer. She twitched her fluffy eyebrows and said excitedly, "Yan Yan, just bear with it a little longer. I'm also trying to get in touch with them for you. We should have news in a couple of days."

Shen Yuyan rolled her eyes and tapped her forehead. "How come I didn't know you had these kinds of connections? Are you some kind of insider again?"

They've been best friends since junior high, and they went to the same high school and college—they've been best friends for over a decade.

Xu Qing wiggled her hips, and she knew exactly what the other person was about to say.

Knowing her background and social circle perfectly, they naturally didn't believe she could attract investment.

Xu Qing grinned, a little guilty, and said, "No way! Just you wait and see!"

Tang Song... they could also be considered characters in the story.

"Oh, right," Shen Yuyan suddenly said, "Tomorrow is Children's Day, how about we go out and have some fun tonight?"

Xu Qing quickly shook her head and said, "No, I have important business to attend to tomorrow night. I need to invite a very important client to dinner."

Shen Yuyan nodded, stood up, took out a white card from her bag and handed it over, "Chu Mingzhou opened a new music restaurant in Qiaoxi District. This is a membership card he gave me the day before yesterday. It has 5,000 yuan in stored value. You can use it. I can get an invoice."

Hearing this, Xu Qing's eyes lit up instantly. "I saw the opening announcement he posted on his Moments! I didn't know you had a prepaid card, that's amazing!"

I've recovered another 5000 yuan!

As a legal specialist, she occasionally treats clients to meals, and the invoices she issues are reimbursable.

"Thank you, my darling Yan Yan!" Money-grubber Xu Qing threw the watermelon onto the coffee table, pounced on her, and kissed her cheek.

"Alright, alright, your mouth is covered in watermelon juice."

That night, Xu Qing, wearing cartoon pajamas and hugging 4090, slept very soundly and had a long dream.

In her dream, after she gave the gift, Tang Song was deeply moved and fell deeply in love with her, unable to extricate himself.

He immediately agreed to invest 100 million yuan in his best friend!

The two had just begun to spark a romance.

Then, the yandere and obsessive girl Xiao Jing appeared, using various schemes and tricks to create misunderstandings between the two.

Heartbroken and dejected, she resolutely left Tang Song.

She and her best friend started living together again.

Decades later, Tang Song was dying of illness.

She brought her best friend to his bedside.

Our eyes met, and scenes from the past came flooding back.

Tang Song shakily took a pocket watch out of his pocket and handed it to her, then passed away.

She gently opened the pocket watch; inside were two photos, one of her and the other of 4090.

It turns out that because of that 4090 (referring to a person born in the 1940s), he never married...

June 1, 2023, Thursday, sunny, 19~3.

"Brother, is the game... not over yet?" Zhao Yachian asked breathlessly, her eyes somewhat glazed over, and she was covered in sweat.

Beside her were the gifts that Tang Song had prepared for her.

A Cartier bracelet.

God knows how touched and moved the young beautician was when she opened her eyes early in the morning and received this gift.

They even offered to be on top.

"It'll be ready soon." Tang Song took a deep breath, a pleasant smile on his face.

From his angle, it's a very sexy and beautiful woman's back.

It is of uniform thickness, with a relatively obvious spinal groove and no protruding shoulder bone.

The shoulders and hips are well-proportioned, and the waist is graceful.

The curves and undulations possess an alluring beauty.

Tang Song couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her beautiful back, carefully feeling this youthful and vibrant body.

The crisp sound of a ball bouncing echoed in the room.

Zhao Yachian let out a soft exclamation and began to unleash a torrent of trash talk.

Soon, she lost control of her body, was pinned down on the court, and suffered a crushing defeat.

8:20.

After getting ready, Tang Song walked out of the dressing room and kissed the beautician who was still lying on the bed. "Qianqian, I'm going to work. Remember to heat up the breakfast on the table before you eat it."

Zhao Yachian put down her Mobile Phone, looked at her handsome and tall boyfriend in a white shirt, and affectionately rubbed against him.

"Brother Song, you've worked hard. Take care on the road. Love you."

Tang Song gently ruffled her thick hair. "Bye-bye, I love you too."

After packing my things, I walked outside feeling refreshed.

While waiting for the elevator, I unlocked my Mobile Phone and found a number of unread messages.

In addition to messages in the work group.

Lin Mu Xue posted a few more selfies.

However, since it was a sunny day, all the photos were taken outdoors.

Wearing workout clothes and with her hair in a high ponytail, she actually looks quite innocent.

Tang Song smiled, didn't reply to her, returned to the main WeChat interface, and continued scrolling down.

[Xu Qing: "Tang Song, sorry, the place for dinner has changed a bit. A classmate from our school opened a music restaurant, and I've heard it's really great. How about we eat there?"]

[Xu Qing: Yinyue Shengyan Restaurant]

A few more pictures were posted below, and they do look quite good.

Tang Song replied with a smile, "Since you're treating, I'll listen to you. See you tonight."

He had a very Good impression of this popular university alumnus, and they had a particularly interesting time together.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the fact that she has a school beauty best friend.

A few minutes later, the silver Mercedes-Benz S-Class drove out of the Underground Parking Lot and merged into the city's main road as the sun rose.

Tang Song did not go directly to the company, but instead drove towards Zhu Xi Residential Area in Qiaoxi District.

Today's main tasks, besides selecting products, were to visit the warehouse with Gao Mengting. We've already made appointments with several intermediaries.

The original warehouse was located in a remote area and was very small, so it could no longer keep up with the company's growth rate.

Rhythmic music resonated throughout the train carriage through the Burmester Sound System.

Sunlight streamed through the side window onto his face, and Tang Song's long, slender, fair fingers danced to the music.

As we approached Zhu Xi Residential Area and entered the residential area, tall trees lined both sides of the road, and there were far fewer cars around.

While waiting at the traffic light, Tang Song saw a white figure coming from the opposite side of the road and stopping at the intersection.

The Suzuki GSX250 in Glacier White gleams in the sunlight.

The bicycle features a familiar female rider; she has a great figure, wearing black jeans, a white U-shaped top, a light-colored shirt jacket, a black helmet, and a backpack...

Cheng Qiuqiu.

Tang Song smiled, not expecting to run into him here.

As the red light turned green, Cheng Qiuqiu skillfully maneuvered her Suzuki GSX250, which then accelerated and disappeared from sight.

Tang Song lightly pressed the accelerator and continued forward along the road, soon entering the Zhu Xi Residential Area.

I could see my Wuling Hongguang S from afar.

After making a phone call to Gao Mengting, Tang Song leaned back in his seat, admiring his little Wuling.

To be honest, this is my first car, and I haven't driven it in a long time.

You should drive back occasionally, otherwise you'll look like a total jerk.

Soon, the partner, wearing denim shorts and a base layer, came out.

She exudes gentleness and sexiness, a feast for the eyes.

The busy work then began.

Ke Zheng Law Firm.

After reviewing the last contract, Xu Qing categorized and filed the documents, then checked the time.

17:30.

I breathed a long sigh of relief. It wasn't easy, but I finally finished!

To avoid being drafted by her superiors, Xu Qing quickly packed her things, lowered her head, and hurried outside.

Early this morning, she applied for an hour of personal leave on the OA system just to go home and get dressed up nicely.

After successfully exiting the building through the main entrance, Xu Qing's face immediately lit up with a smile.

Humming a song, I hailed a taxi on the roadside and returned to North City Garden as quickly as possible.

Xu Qing tossed her bag aside and went into her room to change her clothes.

Soon, a JK uniform that she hadn't worn much appeared on her.

This outfit is the most expensive JK uniform she has ever bought. It's both stylish and suitable for everyday wear, and the material is superb.

Xu Qing twirled in front of the mirror, her blue pleated skirt billowing out, revealing her Chibi Maruko-chan underneath.

Sticking out her tongue, Xu Qing quickly found her safety shorts and put them on.

I couldn't help but squeeze my chest in front of the mirror, but it's still not as big as Yan Yan's!

It seems that eating papaya doesn't work at all.

Xu Qing, who had been one cup size smaller since junior high school, was resentful but helpless.

I can only hope that I will have a second growth spurt.

I admired myself for a while and took a few photos.

Xu Qing sat down in front of the vanity mirror with great interest and began to do her hair and touch up her makeup.

Fortunately, she had prepared in the morning, and now the operation is very smooth and fast.

Before long, an Ke Ke JK (high school girl) girl appeared in the mirror.

"Buzz buzz buzz—" The Mobile Phone on the table vibrated.

[Tang Song: "I'm almost at the Yinyue Shengyan Restaurant. What about you? Have you left yet?"]

Xu Qing checked the time.

18:30.

She couldn't help but feel a little smug. "Hmph, they arrived so early, it must be because of my irresistible charm that Little Song couldn't wait, hehehe."

Then, thinking of the bizarre dream she had last night, Xu Qing blushed and replied, "I'll be there right away, I'll definitely be there before 7 p. m. You can order first."

After sending the message, Xu Qing grabbed the black gift bag containing the 4090 graphics card, slung her small bag over her shoulder, and skipped out the door.

Yinyue Shengyan Restaurant is located on a corner shop in a bustling commercial street.

The exterior features glass curtain walls and metal lines, creating a simple yet modern design.

Tang Song parked the car and walked inside.

The interior design is very unique, blending music, art, and retro elements.

Pleasant music filled the air, and the soft lighting created a tranquil and romantic atmosphere.

Led by the waiter, Tang Song sat down at a seat further inside.

I listened to music while appreciating the surrounding environment.

The reason I arrived so early is because it's not far from the Zhu Yuan Residential Area where Gao Mengting rents an apartment.

After dropping her off at home, it only took 3 minutes to get there.

"Tang Song?" A familiar voice sounded from beside me.

Turning around, I saw Lu Kai with a look of surprise on his face.

He was wearing a neat polo shirt and casual pants, his hair was parted in a 3/7 ratio, and he wore half-rimmed glasses.

She's lost a lot of weight and looks much more energetic. Plus, with her great outfit, she looks really good.

"Lu Kai, what a coincidence to run into you again." Tang Song stood up with a smile and patted him on the shoulder.

"You definitely haven't seen my Moments." Lu Kai grinned. "This restaurant is owned by Chu Mingzhou, and all of us alumni get discounts. If you get 50 likes, you can get a free serving of Crispy Pork Belly. And today is Children's Day, so there are other discounts that can be combined. I wouldn't miss out on such a good deal."

"Oh?" Tang Song raised an eyebrow. "I see."

Chu Mingzhou wasn't in their department, but because their dorms were close together, Lu Kai, Lu Ziming, and their classmates often played League of Legends together during college, and they had a pretty good relationship.

Tang Song didn't play games and wasn't familiar with Chu Mingzhou. They were at most nodding acquaintances and hadn't even added each other on WeChat.

Lu Kai looked him up and down for a while, then clicked his tongue in admiration and said, "Wow, your fitness results are amazing! I haven't seen you for over a month, and you've become a real hunk."

"You look great too, you've lost a lot of weight, that's wonderful."

Lu Kai chuckled, "Of course! Ever since I saw the changes in you, I've made my own Weight Loss Plan. I've halved my food intake, exercised for more than an hour every day, and learned about fashion. It's been quite effective, isn't it?"

He was truly spurred on by the barbecue on the terrace last time, especially after seeing the Bai Fumei next to Tang Song who sang so well. It made him determined to change himself. (Chapter 79)

I've lost over ten pounds, my double chin is almost gone, and I feel much more energetic and younger.

Tang Song asked with a smile, "Another date with Zhang Xinrui today? How did it go?"

Lu Kai's expression stiffened, and he said in a deep voice, "It's not her, it's a blind date arranged by my family. We just started dating, and today is Children's Day, so we came out for a meal together."

Tang Song keenly sensed his unusual behavior. "You liked her for so long in college, and even went to work for her company. Why did you suddenly give up?"

Lu Kai pursed his lips. "A while ago, I bumped into her and Du Shaokai on a date on the street, and... let's just leave it at that."

"Du Shaokai?" Tang Song raised his eyebrows in surprise, then immediately realized.

Du Shaokai was also a student majoring in Electronic Information Engineering in 2016, and he was Zhang Xinrui's classmate.

"Hey! It's nothing!" Lu Kai laughed nonchalantly. "I knew before that Xinrui liked Du Shaokai a lot in college, but I never thought they'd get together three years after graduation. I can't compare to them in terms of looks, family background, or job, so I just gave up. Anyway, we've never even started anything. My family introduced me to a girl, and I thought I'd give it a try. Today was our first time going out together."

Tang Song patted him on the shoulder, unsure of what to say.

"Ring ring—" The Mobile Phone rang.

Lu Kai quickly took out his Mobile Phone and answered the call, "Hey! Qiqi, I'm at the Yinyue Shengyan Restaurant. Okay, I'll meet you at the door."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Kai said goodbye to Tang Song and jogged towards the door.

After a while, a girl who was short and of average appearance came back.
