On Bus Route 101.

Yao Lingling sat near the back door, staring blankly at the view outside the window.

He was clutching two large bags in his hands and carrying a backpack on his back.

Her home is located near Yancheng, just two bus rides away.

However, because of its remote location, it takes a long time to get to the Yuhua Business Building where Shangya Clothing is located.

So she and her roommate rented an apartment in the Star Garden Residential Area.

After Zhang Jiahong moved out some time ago, she contacted several alumni. Two of them were interested, but their rent was not yet due.

It will probably take until next month to decide whether to move here.

Hearing the station announcement from the loudspeaker, Yao Lingling quickly snapped out of her reverie and stood up to go to the door.

Immediately afterwards, the vehicle arrived at the station and the doors opened.

Yao Lingling walked out carrying large and small bags.

"Whoosh~" A wave of heat hit my face, and fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on my forehead.

The weather was over 30 degrees Celsius, and it was cloudy. It was hot and humid, and it was really unbearable.

After putting the bag on the ground, Yao Lingling took out her Mobile Phone from her jeans pocket and looked at it.

Since it wasn't peak time, I still had to wait 15 minutes to transfer to Route 39.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a WeChat message from Li Shumin, asking her how much longer.

Yao Lingling estimated the time and replied with a few words.

After thinking for a moment, she opened Tang Song's chat box again and left a message: "Senior, I'll be at Star Garden Residential Area in about 50 minutes. I brought some delicious food from home, so please come and try it soon!"

After sending the message, she smiled and touched a white handbag at her feet.

Her family owns a tailor shop, and she brought back sample garments and fabric this time because she wanted to make two more sets for Tang Song.

For sportswear like this, which involves frequent sweating and running, it's best to have extra on hand.

This is a nice little surprise, considering how good Tang Song has been to me. I have to give back in some way to feel at ease.

While waiting for the bus, I listened to the discussions around me.

She glanced around and couldn't help but sigh, "Su Yu is really coming."

Bus stop signs, 3D screens, LED GG Brand- shirts worn by passersby...

In recent days, you can see all kinds of advertisements about her whenever you walk on the streets of Yancheng.

After boarding the bus, we arrived smoothly at Star Garden Residential Area.

As soon as I reached the foot of Building 8, I saw a familiar figure emerge from under the shade of a tree.

Dressed in trendy casual wear, Xiao Mingxuan had one hand in his pocket and a big smile on his face. "Hello Ling Ling, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you here."

"Pfft—" Yao Lingling couldn't help but laugh out loud, her eyes crinkling as she said, "I'm telling you, this is downstairs from my house, what kind of coincidence is this? Confess! Did Minmin tell you?"

"You really have no sense of humor at all." Xiao Mingxuan shook his head and reached out to her, saying, "Knowing you brought a lot of things, Minmin was worried you wouldn't be able to carry them, so she specially sent me down to help."

"Okay, thanks." Yao Lingling handed over a bag of fresh and cooked food that she had brought from home.

There was no particular surprise at Xiao Mingxuan's presence here.

Recently, thanks to Li Shumin's deliberate attempts to please him, their relationship has become quite close.

We often play games and eat together.

I must say, this colleague is a really nice person.

Although he is the boss's son, he is always very kind at work and in conversations, and you can get along with him almost like a friend.

The two chatted as they went up to the 5th floor.

As soon as I opened the door to room 501, I saw Li Shumin running towards me.

"Ah, Ling Ling, you're finally back! It's been two days! A whole two days! I was all alone at night, and I was so scared I couldn't sleep!"

Xiao Mingxuan beamed, "Oh, Minmin, why didn't you say so sooner? I could have come and keep you company! We could even have a passionate duo game tonight!"

Li Shumin's face immediately turned bright red, and she stammered, unable to speak.

She actually had a very Good impression of the company owner's son.

However, she knew her own situation; her figure and appearance were not outstanding, so she dared not express it.

The three of them sat on the sofa and chatted for a while.

Xiao Mingxuan ate the Apple that Li Shumin handed him and said with a smile, "Ling Ling, actually, I came here today because there's something I want to tell you."

"What is it?" Yao Lingling looked over in surprise.

"Click~" Xiao Mingxuan snapped his fingers, leaned forward slightly, and said with bright eyes, "My dad and I had a good talk over the weekend. The company plans to open a new business unit and relaunch a clothing brand. I've been with the company for a while now and have done a pretty good job, so my dad wants to put me in charge of this..."

Then, he began to explain the company's business plan.

Since its inception, Shangya Clothing has operated brands that are all in the mid-to-low range.

If the company wants to continue to develop, it must break through to the next level.

The new brand is positioned as High-end Women's Clothing.

Gather the company's best designers and recruit an industry expert to lead the team.

Managed by a design team, it does not pursue large-scale production and cost control, but focuses on creativity and quality, and adopts unique, innovative and personalized design concepts and styles.

By marketing through online media, we will gradually build a high-end strategic brand for Shangya.

After saying this, Xiao Mingxuan asked confidently and proudly, "So, Ling Ling? Would you like to consider it? This is a very good opportunity."

Li Shumin, who was standing next to her, felt her heart pounding and wished she could agree immediately.

Unfortunately, she was just an assistant and didn't achieve much, so Mr. Little CEO Xiao of her.

Yao Lingling lowered her head Pondered for a moment, then gritted her teeth and shook her head, saying, "I'm sorry, Ming Xuan, I don't think I'm at that level yet. If I go in directly, people will definitely gossip about me, and it will also affect your and the company's reputation."

In Yancheng, Shangya is already considered a top-tier clothing design company.

As the boss's only son, Xiao Mingxuan had no doubt about the feasibility and authenticity of this matter.

However, she was well aware of her own abilities and qualifications, and knew that if she were forced into the position, it would definitely cause gossip among her colleagues.

She wasn't stupid; she could naturally tell that Xiao Mingxuan had those kinds of feelings for her.

However, since I don't have any romantic feelings for them, it's best not to owe them too much favor, lest I make a decision against my own conscience later.

"Uh..." Hearing her refusal, Xiao Mingxuan looked surprised and remained silent for a moment before saying, "How about this, Ling Ling, you can think about it some more. No rush. I've already asked De Ju Ren He to find Teachers' University, and it'll probably be finalized by the end of next month."

Li Shumin, standing next to Yao Lingling, kicked her with her foot, her face flushed red. "Yeah, Ling Ling, think about it first, don't rush to make a decision."

Silly girl!

This is clearly a major project that the chairman specially created to cultivate his son, and he will definitely invest a lot of resources and connections in it in the future!

It might just be the core brand of Shangya Apparel in the future.

You actually turned down such a great opportunity for advancement?!

Yao Lingling wanted to say something more.

Xiao Mingxuan continued, "There's one more thing. Su Yu's concert is the day after tomorrow. My friend's bar is having a celebration, and lots of people will be watching the live stream together. They've reserved a good spot for me. Let's go together then."

"Oh? That's great! We definitely have to participate!" Li Shumin said enthusiastically. "Ming Xuan, remember to send us the address later."

"OK! I'll definitely make sure everything is arranged perfectly for you."

Seeing Li Shumin's enthusiasm, Yao Lingling could only smile and nod, saying, "Thank you, Ming Xuan."

She has a certain aversion to bars and has never been to one since she was a child.

However, I had already refused their kindness once, so I'm finding it hard to say it now.

The three chatted for a few more minutes.

Xiao Mingxuan glanced at his Mobile Phone and chuckled, "It's almost 6 o'clock. Is it alright if I stay for dinner tonight?"

"Of course, no problem! Welcome, welcome!" Li Shumin patted her chest and said, "I'll cook myself, what would you like to eat?"

Just then, Xiao Mingxuan's Mobile Phone suddenly rang.

After glancing at the incoming call, his expression froze for a moment. He apologized, then pushed open the door and walked into the stairwell.

A few minutes later, Xiao Mingxuan walked in with an embarrassed expression. "Sorry, something urgent came up, I have to go."

Li Shumin instantly looked disappointed. "Okay, then I'll show you my cooking skills next time."

"Then we'll go down and see you off." Yao Lingling breathed a sigh of relief.

That's perfect. Tang Song is coming over later, and it would be a bit awkward if Xiao Mingxuan were there too.

The three of them went down the stairs.

Li Shumin's eyes sparkled as she looked at the Porsche Cayenne in the parking space.

This Little CEO Xiao practically flawless!

He's the epitome of a tall, rich, and handsome guy, with such a great personality and a strong work ethic.

If I could marry him, I would be so happy for the rest of my life.

"Ling Ling, please reconsider what I said before. I truly admire your character and abilities." Xiao Mingxuan gently opened the driver's door and got in. "Bye, I'm leaving now."

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

Just then, the hum of an engine came from afar.

A black Ninja 400 quickly approached.

Yao Lingling's face immediately lit up with a joyful smile, and she waved vigorously, "Senior, over here!"

Then, the motorcycle slowly came to a stop next to her.

Tang Song took off his helmet, revealing a bright and handsome smile on his face. "Good afternoon, Ling Ling and Minmin."

"Good afternoon, senior." Yao Lingling stepped forward and naturally took his helmet. "I'll help you put it up."

"Senior, you're here." Li Shumin blinked, looking at Tang Song who had suddenly appeared, and seemed to understand what Yao Lingling meant.

It has to be admitted that this senior is indeed more handsome than Xiao Mingxuan.

Wearing a stylish light-colored casual outfit, his bare arms revealed clearly defined muscle lines.

She has a straight nose, thin lips, a tall and well-proportioned figure, and an excellent temperament.

The way he rode in on his motorcycle was really cool and captivating.

Ling Ling has clearly developed Good impression for this senior!

"Boom!" The Porsche Cayenne started up.

Sitting inside the car, Xiao Mingxuan stuck his head out of the window. "Hey buddy, make way, I'm leaving."

Tang Song nodded and parked the motorcycle on the side of the road.

After watching the Porsche Cayenne disappear from sight, Li Shumin looked at Tang Song again.

I couldn't help but smack my lips. Although the senior is handsome and great, Little CEO Xiao doesn't seem bad either!

If she really had to choose...

Okay, that's a plot that only happens in novels.

I walked into the familiar Rental House.

Yao Lingling put the helmet away and smiled, "Senior, let me take you to try on the clothes first."

"Okay."

Immediately afterwards, Tang Song followed her into the bedroom.

Yao Lingling took out a large white bag from the corner and pulled out neatly folded sets of clothes from it.

She said happily, "My parents made two more sets of this tracksuit at home, and they also made a set of the jeans and shirt I had before. They're all washed and clean, so try them on. I took your measurements carefully last time, so the size should be fine."

Looking at the four sets of clothes on the bed, Tang Song was somewhat moved.

This junior schoolmate, whom I haven't known for long, is a really nice person and is very attentive to his needs.

He picked up a set of "Infinite Vitality" laundry detergent, the faint scent of which filled his nostrils. He touched the fine, neat stitching and said earnestly, "Thank you, Ling Ling, you've worked hard."

Yao Lingling smiled happily and said casually, "Don't mention it! Senior has helped me a lot. If you really want to thank me, just come with me for a test drive of the Ninja 400 later."

Tang Song readily nodded, looking at her and saying, "No problem, I'll give you some pointers!"

He had been fed the "Motorcycle Driving Experience Book" by the system, so his driving skills were absolutely top-notch.

Their eyes met, and Yao Lingling's face instantly turned slightly red as she couldn't help but think of her experience on the back of his motorcycle last time.

"Then you try on the clothes first, senior. I'll go out and prepare dinner."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"Click—" The door was gently closed.

Tang Song took off their clothes and put on their suits one by one.

Black athletic underwear, dark gray athletic T-shirt, black athletic shorts, and gray breathable athletic shoes.

The clothes were made exactly according to my sketches, from the direction of the stitching and the details of the decorations to the style of the buttons and the fabric.

The shoes are slightly different because he bought them, but it shouldn't make a big difference.

Open the System Interface, enter the [Dress-up Center], select [Outfit - Limitless Vitality], and equip it immediately.

A flash of orange light appeared.

[Current outfit compatibility 100%, all effects 100% active]

In an instant, a cool and relaxing feeling washed over me.

Stamina +2, Agility +4, Got it!

Tang Song's face lit up with an excited smile. He did a few push-ups on the spot, Good impression the 100% effect of [Infinite Vitality].

The stamina boost is more noticeable, and the sweat-wicking and breathable effects are also super nice.

Although 90% and 100% are only 10% different, you can still feel the difference, so there must be some hidden buff.

Tang Song put the other clothes back into the bag and then glanced around the small bedroom.

It's about 12 square meters. Although the decoration is poor, it's kept neat and tidy, and decorated with many stickers and wallpapers.

Tang Song's gaze fell on the desk, where there was a large stack of drawing paper and some drawing tools.

I curiously flipped through two of them; they were all clothing design drafts, including the sketches he had sent.

It's clear that Yao Lingling is a very dedicated girl.

Then, Tang Song blinked and looked at one of the sketches in surprise.

It turned out to be a picture of him and Yao Lingling going cycling together that day.

A quiet street, streetlights, him wearing "Summer Sweet Talk," and the dynamic ninja400...

He looks really handsome from this angle.

Tang Song admired the sketch for a while, took a picture, and then put it back.

Stepping out of the bedroom door, I was immediately greeted by the enticing aroma of meat.

The range hood in the kitchen was humming, accompanied by the sound of spatulas clattering.

Tang Song stepped into the kitchen doorway and saw Yao Lingling busy at work.

Seemingly sensing the gaze, Yao Lingling turned around and exclaimed happily, "Great! The clothes fit perfectly, and you look especially handsome!"

"Ling Ling is still the best."

"Haha, thank you for the compliment!" Yao Lingling pointed to several dishes on the cabinet. "The food will be ready soon. My mom made all of these at home. There's Braised Pork, braised beef, Sichuan peppercorn chicken, and homemade alkaline steamed buns. They're so delicious."

Smelling the aroma wafting through the air and watching the busy Yao Lingling, Tang Song smiled broadly, "Then I'll have to try it properly."

This junior is such a nice person, cheerful, generous and sincere. Whenever you are with her, you can feel the kindness and warmth she exudes.

Li Shumin, who came out of the restroom, said with a smile, "Auntie's cooking is really delicious. Our dormitory used to often go to Ling Ling's house for meals."

The food was quickly served.

The reddish-brown Braised Pork gleamed with an oily sheen, melted in the mouth, and was rich but not greasy.

The braised beef has a clear marbling, is firm yet elastic, and has a moderate saltiness and rich soy sauce flavor.

The light yellow alkaline steamed buns are heavy, with a wheat aroma mixed with a faint alkaline taste, and they become more fragrant the more you chew them.

Tang Song enjoyed the meal very much.

Looking at the junior student across from him, he asked, "Ling Ling, are you free Tuesday night?"

Li Shumin blinked, surprised, and asked, "Senior Tang Song, you're not referring to Su Yu's concert, are you?"

Yao Lingling's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Tang Song was inviting her out.

Tang Song nodded and smiled, "Yes, it's the [2023 Su Yu Concert]. Would you like to attend?"

Another junior Zhang Jiahong, lives near the North Second Ring Road, not far from the Olympic Sports Center.

He was really looking forward to seeing how his three female classmates would react when they found out they could go see the live performance.

Yao Lingling smiled happily, "You're free? I bet everyone was too busy to work overtime that day to go to the concert."

She preferred watching the live stream with this handsome and gentle senior to going to a bar with Xiao Mingxuan and the others.

Seeing Yao Lingling's expression, Li Shumin bit her lip.

Since Ling Ling didn't want to go to the bar with Little CEO Xiao, she would reluctantly go and enjoy herself by herself!

"Reporting, senior!" Li Shumin said earnestly, "I've already made plans with my colleagues to go to a bar together that day. Have fun!"

"Okay, then." Tang Song nodded. "What about Jia Hong?"

Yao Lingling said with a smile, "She's a huge fan of Su Yu. I asked her before, and she was planning to go outside the stadium to cheer him on that day."

"That's perfect, wait a moment." Tang Song got up and went to the Entrance Hall, took out two ticket invitations from his backpack and placed them in front of her. "These are two consecutive seats, so you two can go together and keep each other company."

"Huh?" Yao Lingling was a little confused. "What do you mean?"

Then, her eyes widened, and her body began to tremble slightly. "This... no way? These are concert tickets?"

Tang Song nodded. "Yes, you can scan the code to redeem an e-ticket. It's a VIP inner area with a very good seat. Have fun!"

Li Shumin, who was standing next to her, was stunned for a moment before immediately picking up the invitation.

As I looked at the lines of text above, my face flushed red and then turned pale, and I felt a chill run through me.

Tang Song just asked if he really wanted to attend the concert?

These are tickets to Su Yu Concert! Inner area, priced at 2688 yuan.

The key point is that these kinds of things are not something you can just buy whenever you want. She'd seen people post pictures of these invitations online.

Only partners and celebrities have the opportunity to receive it.

If you were to actually sell it outside, you could probably make ten times the price.

"This... this is too valuable." Yao Lingling shook her head frantically. "I can't accept it, senior, don't scare me."

Tang Song said sincerely, "You made so many outfits for me, and I even ate your mom's cooking today. I'm very grateful. Here, take them."

Yao Lingling was dizzy and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Li Shumin's lips trembled slightly as she asked incredulously, "Senior... how did you get this kind of invitation?"

Even Second-Generation Rich like Xiao Mingxuan could only watch the live broadcast with his friends at a bar outside the venue.

How could this seemingly ordinary senior have such an amazing network of connections?

Tang Song raised his eyebrows and smiled brightly. "Su Yu is my girlfriend, and she gave me the invitation."

Su Yu will arrive in Yancheng tomorrow afternoon, and will meet with her agent Mo Xiangwan the day after tomorrow, followed by the concert opening.

He had high expectations for this "female celebrity" he had nurtured in the game.
