Su Yu's Song

Noticing Tang Song's gaze, Xu Qing also looked towards the stage.

"He sang really well, and the singer was quite handsome too. Looking at those girls taking pictures and videos, he seems to be a minor Internet Celebrity."

"Yes, it's not bad." Tang Song nodded.

Thinking back, I was quite amazed when I first heard the guitar playing and singing coming from outside Gao Mengting's balcony.

However, after obtaining the guitar skills and talents through the Dream Realm Instance, listening to Liu Wenning's guitar playing again reveals many obvious flaws.

After all, the "Tang Song" in the dream was a genius musician who went from being a complete novice to a world-class talent show stage.

Xu Qing's eyes darted around, and she said Tian Tian, "Of course, I'm not as handsome as you, and my voice isn't as nice as yours either."

She hadn't forgotten why she came here today.

In short. "Fan him!"

Tang Song withdrew his gaze, looked at the Ke Ke Xu Qing across from him, and smiled brightly. "I like making friends with honest girls like you."

His smile, with its rosy lips and white teeth, made Xu Qing a little dizzy. "Thank you for the compliment!"

That's when I realized that Tang Song seemed to have become even more handsome than the last time we met!

Beneath the fitted, thin shirt, the lines of his bulging muscles were faintly visible.

The skin is delicate and smooth, which is excellent.

I remember the last time we met, I could still see some minor blemishes on his face.

If you have the chance, ask him what brand of skincare products he uses; they have such great results!

The two chatted for a bit about the "4090" topic, and then their drinks were served.

Xu Qing blinked her big, dark eyes and placed a cocktail in front of Tang Song. "The atmosphere in the restaurant is really great today. It's a holiday, so let's have a drink to celebrate."

After she finished speaking, she looked at him with expectant eyes.

Hehehe.

I just want to drink, preferably until you're half-drunk.

With the stimulation of 4090, alcohol, and JK, Yan Yan's investments are guaranteed to be foolproof!

"Okay." Tang Song nodded, her long, slender fingers holding the wine glass, and clinked it with Xu Qing's.

For the sake of her best friend, Xu Qing swallowed a large mouthful.

The food was served quickly, and the two ate, drank, and chatted.

"This chicken is really delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Here, have the drumstick."

"Come on, handsome guy, let's have a drink!"

"This afternoon, President Gao sent me Email asking me to draft another procurement contract. It seems your company has done a very successful job! Congratulations!"

"I also follow Songmei Clothing's Douyin account and have bought a few items from them. The quality and the experience have been excellent!"

Xu Qing's mouth was like it had been coated with glycerin suppositories, spewing one sweet word after another.

Her voice was clear and melodious, seemingly to fit her persona for the day, and her tone was full of childlike innocence and purity.

Looking at this once-celebrated goddess alumna, Tang Song felt extremely happy.

He couldn't help but chuckle softly, watching her performance with a look of curiosity.

He's not stupid. He can tell from Xu Qing's previous initiative to ask him out and her inner monologue that this girl definitely wants something from him.

Adding to today's 4090, it's clear this is no small matter.

I just don't know what it is.

It was a little after 8 p. m.

Lu Kai came over again. "I'm leaving now, I've almost finished eating."

Tang Song looked around and asked, "Where's that blind date?"

Lu Kai grinned. "They left after eating for a while. I guess they didn't like me. But it's fine, it saves everyone from feeling awkward."

"Keep going, keep trying, you'll eventually find true love." Tang Song patted his arm. "Want to sit down and have a drink together?"

"No, no, I'm going home now, bye-bye~"

"Bye-Bye."

After waving goodbye, Lu Kai looked back at the handsome Tang Song, then at 4090 and the university goddess Xu Qing.

My mouth felt both sour and astringent.

Old Song is really damn handsome now, no wonder he can date girls like Tian Jing and Xu Qing.

I made up my mind again that I must improve myself and learn from Old Song.

What if my luck changes one day?

The lights in the music restaurant dimmed, and the soft background music gradually faded away.

On the stage, a young man of about 25 or 26 years old walked up with a microphone in his hand.

Xu Qing smiled and said, "He is Chu Mingzhou, the owner of this shop, and our schoolmate."

"Yes, I know him." Tang Song nodded gently.

Next, Xu Qing briefly explained Chu Mingzhou's situation.

His family owns a gas station, but he personally loves music. Right after graduating, he partnered with someone to open a bar, which went bankrupt last year. This year, he started a music restaurant.

She and Chu Mingzhou had a pretty good relationship, after all, he had been pursuing her best friend Shen Yuyan.

"Dear friends, thank you for choosing Yinyue Shengyan Restaurant to spend this wonderful evening..."

After a few pleasantries, Chu Mingzhou announced in a passionate tone, "Next, please welcome our special Guest for tonight, a temporary band composed of several young people— the White Knight!"

A round of applause broke out in the room.

Tang Song also clapped his hands lightly.

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Qiuqiu, who was standing directly below the stage, stood up.

Her facial features are more defined, and although she is not old, she has a cool and aloof aura.

She tossed her long, brown hair and took off her oversized black sun-protective jacket, revealing a white short-sleeved t-shirt underneath.

Her full breasts were prominently displayed, and her firm abdomen was faintly visible.

She wore denim shorts, revealing her long, shapely thighs.

She does have a great figure, with well-proportioned body and beautiful curves.

At the same time, the man and woman opposite Cheng Qiuqiu also took off their brightly colored jackets, revealing white t-shirts and jeans underneath.

The three of them got out of their seats and stepped directly onto the stage.

Liu Wenning had changed into a white t-shirt, followed along, holding an electric guitar in his hand.

The staff placed the electronic keyboard, drum set, and bass on it.

Tang Song looked astonished.

It dawned on me instantly that the so-called temporary band (White Knights) must be those four.

But isn't Cheng Qiuqiu a UI designer? How come she has time to play with this?

Looks like I'm still not getting enough work!

Cheng Qiuqiu grabbed the plugged-in bass, stood in the center of the stage, gently adjusted the straps, and pressed the bass against her high chest.

His eyes were lowered, and his expression was somewhat indifferent.

Immediately afterwards, another girl stood in front of the keyboard, and another boy sat in the drum kit.

A simple yet complete band setup is in place.

All four of them were dressed in white t-shirts and jeans; they were handsome men and beautiful women, and looked very stylish and pleasing to the eye.

A burst of cheers and applause erupted in the music restaurant.

On the stage, the lights intertwine to create dazzling light and shadow.

The soft sound of a guitar began, and the atmosphere gradually calmed down.

Then, electric guitar, drums, and bass gradually came in.

Cheng Qiuqiu, standing in front of the microphone, raised her head, and her soft and melodious voice spread through the speakers.

"Bgm: in the melodies of life, i found a rhyme..."

Xu Qing's eyes lit up instantly, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Wow! It's a song by Su Yu! This band is something else, and the lead singer's voice even sounds a bit like Su Yu's!"

Tang Song asked in surprise, "A song by Su Yu?"

"Yes, yes, 'Love of Song,' one of Su Yu's few purely English songs, is also a classic masterpiece she composed," Xu Qing, a fan, said knowledgeably. "In the song, 'song' is used as a metaphor for a person named 'song,' expressing her deep love for music."

Tang Song paused for a moment, then suddenly understood something.

He pursed his lips, raised his head, and began to listen to the song attentively.

Although Tang Song's English level was above CET-6, he still struggled to listen to English songs and couldn't connect many words and phrases.

However, one can still feel the many emotions contained in the ups and downs of the music.

On stage, Cheng Qiuqiu strummed the bass and sang a song.

Her body swayed to the rhythm, her long brown hair gently bobbing.

He was completely absorbed in the performance.

As the song gradually came to an end.

The guitar, drum kit, and keyboard all stopped playing at the same time.

Holding her bass, Cheng Qiuqiu stepped away from the microphone, paced gently on the stage, squinted her eyes, and continued to pluck the strings.

Only the low bass solo remained in the room.

The bass is actually the "bass guitar", but it is responsible for a different range of notes and has different playing techniques.

However, Tang Song, as a "guitar master", can also see a lot of things.

Cheng Qiuqiu's bass playing isn't particularly advanced, but you can tell she's very talented and dedicated.

A faint sadness and helplessness flowed through the melodious tune.

"I bet this girl is definitely a die-hard fan of Su Yu, a true superfan!" Xu Qing's eyes Jing Jing, and her voice was full of certainty.

Why do you say that?

"This final bass solo isn't included in the original soundtrack for this song! Su Yu only played it once at a concert, and she performed it herself, improvising on the spot. It's one of the most memorable moments for fans!"

"That female lead singer who plays bass is deliberately imitating Su Yu in terms of her appearance, voice, and expressions. However, she is indeed quite pretty and has a slight resemblance to Su Yu."

The bass solo lasted for a minute before gradually fading away.

The "White Knight" band left the stage one by one, officially ending the restaurant's performance, and soft instrumental music filled the air.

Xu Qing's face was full of excitement and pride as she kept talking about Su Yu.

A true superstar.

A singer-songwriter, a triple threat in film, television, and music, and a renowned talented woman. She has no flaws in appearance, bone structure, or temperament.

She can Hua Hua, write scripts, play the piano well, and her videos of playing the drums often trend on social media. She can also play the guitar, trumpet, and violin.

He is still one of the top three bassists in China.

She came from a girl group, experienced the Black Sea, and reached the top, without any scandals or blemishes.

Even after becoming famous, he was still able to focus on improving his education...

He is now one of the owners of Tang Zong Entertainment, one of the largest entertainment companies in China...

Finally, Xu Qing leaned forward, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Let me tell you, I had a nickname in college: ' Little Su Yu of the OS world'!"

After saying that, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It was clear that she really liked Su Yu, and Tang Song was not surprised by this.

Based on what he has learned in the past two months, Su Yu's influence in China is extremely exaggerated.

With fans of all ages and a roughly equal male-to-female ratio, he is a true national idol.

Especially for the younger generation, it appears in the youthful memories of most people.

For example, the employees of Songmei Clothing were scrambling to buy concert tickets recently, and related discussions were frequently seen in their group chat.

"I'm full!" Xu Qing patted her tummy, crossed her arms and placed them on the dining table, looking at Tang Song.

Her big, dark eyes were like two glistening black grapes, and her eyelashes were long and thick.

Her face was flushed from drinking quite a bit, and her smile looked a little blank.

She looks so cute, it makes you want to pinch her cheeks.

Tang Song glanced at his watch, Wei Xiao, and met her gaze. "Is there anything else you want to say? If not, shall we go?"

Xu Qing shrank her neck and bit her Ruan Ruan lips, saying, "Well... there is something I'd like to talk to you about."

When the moment came, she was genuinely a little nervous.

After all, it concerned her best friend's life-long happiness, Tang Song was already the most awesome friend she could get her hands on.

His car is Mercedes-Benz S-Class over 1 million yuan, so he should be at least richer than Hou Shaoyuan, right?

Tang Song leaned forward, looking at her with a slightly aggressive gaze. "Go ahead and speak, I'm listening."

Xu Qing swallowed, her face flushed, and said, "Yuyan's company has been seeking investment. I told you before that their Youjie Home Services is doing very well and is currently profitable, but they need a lot of money to expand."

She raised her head, sat up straight, and looked at him with innocent eyes, saying, "Tang Song, could you give them a donation?"

"Uh..." Tang Song blinked, finally understanding Xu Qing's unusual behavior today.

He had previously watched Youjie Home Services's roadshow at an Investment Negotiation Conference meeting and was fairly familiar with the company.

The business it operates is quite ordinary and not particularly outstanding. Its business scope and scale are not large; it is a small, unremarkable company.

Such businesses have limited returns and the risk of failure, making them low-value investments.

Therefore, they could only appear as supporting characters at the Negotiation Conference.

Seeing that Tang Song suddenly fell silent and did not wave his hand as he had imagined, he was surprised.

Xu Qing pouted and looked at her 4090 with a wronged expression.

Fourteen thousand! This is the first time in my life I've ever given a gift to a boy, and I even wore a JK uniform! I also said so many flattering things to you!

She had drunk quite a bit tonight and was already slightly tipsy. Now, she couldn't suppress her feelings of grievance, and she was also acting like a drama queen.

Soon, tears rolled down her cheeks, landing on her pleated skirt.

Xu Qing sniffed and buried her face in her hands on the table, sobbing softly.

That wretched little Songzi! How dare you betray my feelings!

I'll stay up all night tonight writing a side story where you have to lick my unwashed feet while kneeling on a durian!

Seeing Xu Qing suddenly acting strangely, Tang Song's eyes twitched, and he got up and sat down next to her.

He patted Xu Qing on the shoulder and said softly, "Qing Qing, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Qing raised her head, looking aggrieved, and said, "It's nothing, I just suddenly missed home Dad and dad when I heard them singing folk songs on stage."

"Pfft—" Tang Song couldn't help but laugh.

He reached out and pinched her rosy cheeks; they felt smooth and bouncy, very nice.

Xu Qing exclaimed "Ah!" and shifted her body to the side. "What... what are you doing!"

Tang Song didn't answer her. Instead, he tapped his finger on the table and said, "Send me Youjie Home Services's Business Plan later. After all, this is a legitimate investment. I need to at least understand the equity structure and financial planning, right?"

Xu Qing's tears stopped instantly, and she exclaimed in surprise, "You agree to invest!?"

"Hehe." Tang Song couldn't help but pinch her cheek again. "For Xu Qing's sake, if this project goes well, I, Tang Song, will invest!"

The "Juqing Huijin" he currently manages has the characteristics of an investment institution, and its main investment areas are New Energy, biomedicine, and artificial intelligence.

As the true controller, he is fully capable of controlling the direction of investment within the organization.

Youjie Home Services is a small company, still in the "Angel Round" stage, with a fundraising amount of less than 1 million US dollars.

This is nothing to Juqing Huijin.

Of course, he wasn't a sucker.

Youjie Home Services is not Shen Yuyan's company alone. Even if he wants to invest, he will need to find a consulting firm to conduct due diligence, understand the operating model, clarify the valuation, and ensure that there are no hidden debts.

Xu Qing's dark eyes instantly brightened.

Tang Song! Tang Song! You really are my leading man!

The way you agreed to invest money was absolutely awesome!

Yan Yan! You're about to give me a real eye-opener!

At this critical moment, it is still me Xu Qing, who will step in and save you from danger.

"Thank you, Tang Song!" Xu Qing placed her hands on her thighs, a very infectious smile on her face.

It's like a child receiving a gift they've been longing for.

Her misty eyes sparkled like stars under the light.

"What's wrong? Suddenly you don't miss your Dad and dad anymore?" Tang Song looked at her with a teasing expression.

Xu Qing stuck out her tongue, nonchalantly saying, "I don't want to think about it anymore. You look just like my Dad to me now! It's so endearing!"

Tang Song's heart raced a little at her address.

Looking at her pure and lovely face.

Who can withstand this!

"Tang Song, shall we go? I'll go back and ask Yan Yan for the Business Plan. Once you're sure it's okay, be sure to let me know as soon as possible!" Xu Qing was excited and couldn't stay any longer.

I really want to get this done as soon as possible, to show off in front of my best friend and put her at ease.

She truly felt sorry for her best friend of 12 years.

They had a very close relationship, often sleeping in the same bed since junior high school, and were even closer than sisters in an ordinary family.

In order to attend the same university, Shen Yuyan, whose grades were good enough to get into a better school, secretly changed her College Entrance Examination application and filled in Yan City University of Science and Technology.

This incident caused her father to be hospitalized due to the stress.

Let's go.

"I'll go pay the bill!" Xu Qing quickly stood up and jogged towards the front desk.

Tang Song picked up his 4090 and watched her hopping figure in her JK uniform, and couldn't help but smile.

Suddenly I realize it's really nice to have so many OSE friends. Maybe in the future I can have OSE Mai-senpai, Shenhe, Little Daji...

Then my newly purchased Hasselblad mirrorless camera will finally come in handy.

As I walked to the front desk, I saw Xu Qing take out a white membership card from her small bag to pay the bill.

Immediately, he raised an eyebrow, sensing a hostile gaze.

Turning my head slightly, I saw Liu Wenning carrying a guitar bag.

Beside him were Cheng Qiuqiu, carrying a bass guitar, and two other band members known as the "White Knight."

Liu Wenning's face was somewhat gloomy, but he didn't say anything. He put one hand in his pocket and continued walking forward.

Immediately afterward, Tang Song met another pair of eyes.

Cheng Qiuqiu showed a hint of surprise on her face, but quickly regained her composure, nodded lightly at him, and brushed past him.

Carrying a violin bag and wearing a black sun-protective shirt, she looked both beautiful and cool, exuding a sophisticated and aloof aura.

"I've paid the bill!" Xu Qing put away the card and receipt, then turned around and winked playfully at Tang Song.

She was overjoyed that she had successfully completed her mission that night.

Stepping out of the Yinyue Shengyan Restaurant restaurant, a refreshing evening breeze greets you.

Tang Song turned to look at Xu Qing beside him and said with a smile, "How about we take a walk around here first? I'll call a designated driver to take you home later."

Xu Qing nodded vigorously without hesitation and said, "Sure!"

Moonlight poured down like water, stars twinkled in the night sky, and neon lights flickered on the commercial street.

The two strolled along the shopping street.

They chatted about dinner and graphics cards.

Slightly tipsy, Xu Qing still maintained her innocent high school girl persona, sometimes stumbling over her words, which was quite amusing.

Breathing in the scent of her shampoo, and looking at her pure and lovely face.

A secret thought popped into Tang Song's mind.

How interesting it would be if Xu Qing and Xiao Jing were put together and both wore JK uniforms!

I walked back and forth along the commercial street.

Back outside the Yinyue Shengyan Restaurant restaurant, the pre-booked designated driver arrived just in time.

We arrived at the silver Mercedes-Benz S450L.

The designated driver walked around the car to check its condition.

As the driver walked around to the side and rear of the vehicle, he paused for a moment and immediately said, "Hello, there are a few footprints here. It looks like someone just kicked it. Could you please come over and check?"

Tang Song took a few steps back, his brows furrowing slightly.

On the pristine car body, several footprints were clearly visible on the rear fender.
