Hear the Wind Sing

A hazy mist hung over the streets, as if draping the world in a thin veil.

The Maybach, with its headlights on and a deep engine sound emanating from it, blended into the patter of the rain.

A dripping white umbrella, an elegant and mature figure, alluring and beautiful features, a soft and flowing dress...

"Bang—" The car door was gently closed.

Her high heels clicked on the wet ground Wen Ruan tossed her thick, slightly wavy hair and walked slowly with light, graceful steps.

Their eyes met, and her smile became even brighter.

She gently tugged at her dress to prevent it from getting wet from the splashing rain.

With the driver behind her and the Maybach as a backdrop, she looked elegant, noble, intellectual, and romantic...

Because of the rain, there weren't many customers in the restaurant to begin with, but as they noticed the beautiful view outside the window, they gradually quieted down.

The air was filled with the aroma of roasted fish and the sizzling sound of hot oil.

He Yiming's eyes widened, and he stammered, "Actually, Maybach is not bad either."

"Holy crap! This woman has an amazing figure!" Xu Bin exclaimed, barely containing his excitement. "Her looks are amazing too, absolutely perfect! I wonder who gets to date women like that! Damn, if I could find a girlfriend like that in this life, I'd die happy!"

He Yiming couldn't help but complain, "Come on, Bin. You were just talking about me. This kind of Bai Fumei older sister is much more ethereal than Jian Hui."

Jian Hui, a native of Imperial Capital, owns two houses in the city and drives BMW 3 Series.

Compared to her, the mature and sexy older woman stepping out of the Maybach S680 was indeed much more distant from them.

"Tch, I'm just fantasizing! If I were actually facing her, I'd be trembling with fear. It's nothing like a suitor like you, who's so good to Jian Hui..." Xu Bin hadn't finished speaking when he exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap, she's also here for Wushan Grilled Fish! What a treat!"

Tang Song put away his Mobile Phone and said irritably, "Seriously, can you guys stop being so sleazy?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Bin immediately objected, "Good heavens, of the three of us, you're the most repressed pervert. You've already secretly taken several photos with your Mobile Phone! And you still have the nerve to criticize us?"

"Yeah, the key is that the shutter sound wasn't turned off." He Yiming patted Tang Song on the shoulder, beaming, "Remember to mute the camera when you take pictures later, and also, remember to send me a copy!"

Tang Song ignored his two lewd colleagues and turned his gaze to the entrance of Wushan Grilled Fish Restaurant.

"Squeak—" The glass door was slowly pushed open.

The sound of wind and rain rushed in.

The entire restaurant instantly brightened up.

The diners in the shop all turned to look at her.

Wen Ruan put away her umbrella, shook it, and gently wiped her rain-soaked hair.

He raised his head and looked toward Tang Song's position.

Xu Bin exclaimed excitedly, "It looks like she's looking this way!"

"Are you watching Tang Song?" He Yiming encouraged, "Why don't you consider striking up a conversation with Tang Song? You never know, it might work."

Xu Bin jokingly added, "Haha, didn't you just say your girlfriend was coming soon? Could this older sister be your girlfriend?"

They all knew something about the Tang Song dynasties.

My family isn't well-off, and my mother has accumulated a lot of debt from medical treatment.

During the years he worked at Meigou Technology, Tang Song was the most frugal person in the department and also worked very hard.

I've basically never bought any snacks or drinks, and I always wear the same few clothes over and over again.

I don't have any hobbies or interests, and I rarely go out with my colleagues.

Although her figure, appearance, and temperament have become outstanding during this meeting, it still hasn't completely changed the previous perception of her.

These words were mostly said in a teasing and joking manner between friends.

"Tap tap tap—" High heels tapped lightly on the patterned tiles.

The two men simultaneously shut their mouths, secretly glancing at the woman walking towards them out of the corner of their eyes.

"Tang Song." A magnetic, mature female voice rang out.

A sweet and gentle fragrance wafted over, and an elegant, mature woman stopped at their table.

Her eyes, filled with joy and love, also carried a hint of shy tenderness, like the softest breeze on a summer afternoon.

It is refreshing and invigorating.

Tang Song gently put his arm around her waist. "Ruan Ruan, sit down."

He Yiming and Xu Bin suddenly raised their heads, their eyes widening instantly as they stared blankly at the two men.

She smiled Wen Ruan, her arms slightly outstretched.

The two exchanged a knowing glance, Tang Song smiled as he reached out his other hand to gently hug his Zhuangzhuang girlfriend, then kissed her full lips.

I have to say, it's really comfortable to hug a fitness enthusiast.

A toned body with perfectly defined muscle lines; every curve exudes a fusion of strength and elegance, radiating vitality and health.

Plus, she has an extremely domineering figure.

He is definitely a player worthy of respect.

"Clatter~" The chopsticks fell onto the glass dining table, then rolled to the floor with a soft sound.

He Yiming and Xu Bin stared at the scene in disbelief, their minds reeling as if bombs had exploded.

Looking at the two embracing, and then at the Maybach parked in its spot with the engine off.

My thoughts are somewhat sluggish.

Holy crap! This woman is actually Tang Song's girlfriend?!

Is there no justice left? Is there no law left?

The sound of the chair scraping against the floor rang out as Wen Ruan sat down next to Tang Song.

She waved gracefully at the two of them, "Excuse me, I'm Tang Song's girlfriend, Wen Ruan."

Her mature and beautiful face, and her magnetic, mature voice, instantly brought the two of them back to their senses.

"No disturbance, no disturbance. I am Xu Bin, Tang Song's former colleague."

"Hello... I'm He Yiming."

The two greeted each other somewhat shyly and nervously, then looked at Tang Song with incredibly complicated expressions.

When they met today, the shock they received from this former colleague was nothing compared to the shock of his suddenly appearing "girlfriend".

"You guys keep eating, don't worry about me."

"I just passed by the Meigou Technology Building when I came here... The rain was coming in bursts today, but it's stopped now..."

Wen Ruan, with her naturally cheerful personality, coupled with her good emotional intelligence and eloquence, instantly warmed up the atmosphere at the dinner table once again.

Xu Bin and He Yiming exchanged a glance, and their minds relaxed a bit.

This domineering Maybach lady wasn't as aloof as I had imagined.

Their unexpectedly gentle and kind demeanor made them feel as if they were basking in a spring breeze.

For a moment, the gazes directed at Tang Song were filled with even more envy and jealousy.

"The grilled fish tastes really good, but unfortunately I ate quite a lot for lunch."

I picked up a piece of golden-brown, fragrant grilled fish with my Wen Ruan, not minding the greasiness. I held the fish bone with my left hand and then used chopsticks to remove the fish meat.

Then, they placed the pieces one by one onto the small butterfly in front of Tang Song.

While talking to the three of them, she kept serving Tang Song food and pouring him drinks.

Her movements were gentle and she was exceptionally attentive.

We will pay special attention to peeling off the chili skin and Sichuan peppercorns.

Xu Bin He Yiming, who witnessed this scene, both had tears in their eyes.

The grilled fish in my mouth tasted like dog food.

Before I knew it, the rain outside the window had completely stopped.

The grilled fish was almost completely eaten, and the side dishes and meatballs inside were also finished off.

Wen Ruan put down her chopsticks, opened her bag, took out a clean tissue, and handed it to Tang Song.

After a brief chat.

She also gained a general understanding of the past of the Tang Song.

He was very low-key and reserved at the company, and didn't get particularly close to any female colleagues.

He's a typical tech guy.

Due to his outstanding technical skills, he is frequently seconded to other business departments.

He seems to be similar to the one Hu Mingli described.

While Tang Song went to the restroom, Wen Ruan said jokingly, "From what you've said, Tang Song's life in the Imperial Capital used to be so monotonous and boring. You wouldn't be covering for him, would you? I don't believe he didn't have any close female friends!"

The two of them grinned at each other.

Tang Song was so lucky that it made people envious and jealous.

They genuinely had no intention of helping to cover for them.

He Yiming thought for a moment and said, "He is indeed like that at the company, just like you said, quite boring. But Tang Song has a very good high school classmate, a super cute girl. I ran into them at the zoo before."

Upon hearing this, Wen Ruan's heart skipped a beat.

A female classmate? The White Moonlight from high school?

So that's how it is! No wonder!

The sound of footsteps "tap tap tap" rang out.

Tang Song returned to the dining table. "We've almost finished eating, and it's time to leave."

He Yiming quickly stood up. "Wait a moment, I'll go settle the bill."

"No need, it's already been settled." Tang Song took Wen Ruan's hand and smiled, "You can treat us next time."

"Alright then." He Yiming and Xu Bin nodded without being polite.

A serving of grilled fish for three people costs just over a hundred yuan, so there's no need to worry too much about it.

Stepping out of the grilled fish restaurant, the fresh, cool post-rain air greets you.

After the four said their goodbyes, Tang Song took Wen Ruan's hand and began to walk along the damp street.

He told her about his impressions of the place and some interesting things that happened.

Some small puddles remained on the road, which looked like tiny mirrors under the sky.

The two walked and talked, occasionally being gently pulled by each other to avoid places that might get their shoes dirty.

Wen Ruan discussed the plans for the next few days with him.

After they finish their work this afternoon, they'll go to the China World Trade Center for fine dining and enjoy the night view.

Then I went to the Panjiayuan Ghost Market to buy pottery bracelets.

Tomorrow I'll go cycling along Chang'an Street and boating at the Summer Palace. In the evening, I'll go to the West Mountain Ghost Laughing Stone to overlook the entire Imperial Capital.

Because Wen Ruan was wearing high heels, the two did not walk for long.

Afterwards, they took a car directly to a large shopping mall nearby.

Wen Ruan chose a Zegna suit for Tang Song to wear as his best man.

She then forwarded the wedding details to him.

The wedding is on Saturday.

The wedding was actually not very large.

Sun Simin and Zhou Bo are both from Shandong Province. A formal Chinese wedding will be held in their hometown, which would be a truly grand occasion.

In Imperial Capital, we held a ceremony first, specifically choosing a weekend. The guests were mostly classmates, colleagues, and superiors from both sides; there weren't many relatives.

The main purpose is to make it easier for these people to participate and give gifts, and to treat everyone to a meal.

As a best man, his task was much simpler than he imagined: to accompany the bride and escort the groom into the wedding ceremony.

Therefore, no prior rehearsal is required.

"Squeak—" The fitting room door was gently pushed open.

Looking at her tall, handsome boyfriend standing in front of her in a formal suit, her Wen Ruan gaze was as tender as water.

The scene before my eyes seemed to blur, and Tang Song slowly approached, as if holding a bouquet of flowers.

He looks just like a handsome groom.

Wen Ruan bit her full lower lip, murmuring in her heart, "I'm willing."

On the high-speed train from Imperial Capital to Yancheng.

"Ding-dong—" WeChat notification sound rang out.

Shen Yuyan, who was dozing off in her seat, opened her eyes, picked up her Mobile Phone, and immediately perked up.

[Zhao Wenyu: "Yuyan, I've already inquired for you. Songmei Clothing has been hiring like crazy lately, and they've even hired a specialized HR consulting firm Bocai Yingrui. They now have nearly 80 employees."]

[Zhao Wenyu: "The scariest thing is that they own an entire floor of the 30th floor of Yunxi Building, an office space! I just found out from other classmates! My god, Meng Ting's company is so amazing! I'll ask them later if they need me as Copy Editor!"]

There are also some photos below.

A high-end office environment, one employee, a luxurious live-streaming studio...

Shen Yuyan pursed her lips and looked out the window with a complicated expression.

Her entrepreneurial journey was far less glamorous than it appeared.

Youjie Home Services started as a small team of six people, mainly responsible for intermediary work.

It's about connecting Uncle Zhang Tianqi's client resources with domestic workers.

The office is located in the Yancheng University Student Startup Incubation Base.

Later, the scale gradually expanded until last year when it finally had its own office space.

It is located in a 7-story old commercial building facing the street in Qiaoxi District.

It houses hundreds of small companies of all sizes.

The environment, property management, amenities, and location are worlds apart from those of Songmei Clothing.

Looking back on the hardships she endured, and then looking at Gao Mengting and Guo Liyuan now.

In an instant, intense resentment and regret resurfaced in my heart.

The best opportunity slipped through my fingers.

"Yuyan, what's wrong?" Zhang Tianqi raised his eyebrows. "You don't seem happy? Why?"

As the founder of Youjie Home Services, although he doesn't particularly care about this industry, the successful financing and the valuation of 20 million are undoubtedly a very satisfactory result.

Even the old man in the family gave him high praise and was very satisfied with him.

Li Meixia, Wang Ning, and others, needless to say, are still excitedly discussing their future development plans in the group chat.

On the contrary, Shen Yuyan, who has always been most eager for financing, has been behaving very strangely these past few days.

"It's nothing," Shen Yuyan softly, lowering her head. "I really should be happy."

Ultimately, it's just a matter of being unwilling to accept it.

In fact, looking at it optimistically, Gongying Technology is also a good choice.

Projects and businesses can complement each other.

This collaboration is a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

Zhang Tianqi looked at the fresh and beautiful School Beauty Shen across from him, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "After this round of financing, my elders are very satisfied with me and have expressed their appreciation for having such an excellent partner as you."

Our family's food factory is about to expand, and I'll likely be focusing my energy on the family business from now on. The General Manager of Youjie Home Services will also be stepping down, so the reins are now in your hands.

Don't worry, I will always support you. Together, we hold 53% of the shares, so the addition of Gongying Technology won't affect you.

He is 26 years old this year, and now that his personal abilities have been proven, it's time for him to get back on track.

After all, the family business is in the real economy, and the network of connections and social status it brings are far beyond what this small housekeeping company can offer.

He'll just leave the Youjie Home Services business here; if it really takes off, he'll be happy to see it succeed.

Hearing his words, Shen Yuyan's fighting spirit was rekindled.

Zhang Tianqi is a very laid-back partner. Although he doesn't hold her back, he also doesn't offer her much positive support right now.

Now that the financing has been successful, she will return to become the official head of the company and manage all aspects of its operations.

Perhaps we can take advantage of this opportunity to rapidly develop Youjie Home Services.

The goal is to expand the business as soon as possible, then cash out and exit, moving on to a new track.

Looking at Zhang Tianqi across from him, he said sincerely, "Thank you, Tian Qi, and I wish you all the best in your future work."

"There's one more thing," Zhang Tianqi said, touching his wristwatch. "I might be getting engaged soon; you've met my fiancée before."

Shen Yuyan in surprise, "Is it that Lin Lu?"

"Yes! It's her."

"Congratulations! I've always thought you two were a perfect match! You're well-matched in terms of social standing and personalities. I'll give you a big red envelope when you get married."

"Hehe, then I'll wait." Zhang Tianqi leaned back, a smile on his face, looking relaxed.

It's impossible to say that I didn't have any feelings for Shen Yuyan before; Shen Yuyan was just too dazzling in college.

In the dorm and on the forum, there were topics about her everywhere.

Every boy has had feelings for her.

However, he was a very Buddhist person. After understanding Shen Yuyan's true thoughts and seeing through her ambition, he decisively gave up.

He felt he couldn't handle a woman like that at all.

Her role models are women like Jin Meixiao and Ouyang Xuanyue. The former is the Executive Director and president of Smiling Holdings, and the latter is the chairman of Tang Yi Precision.

She has been working towards this goal.

The execution and ambition they displayed were too strong, so strong it was almost blinding.

She's not the type of woman who's content with a stable life. If you can't satisfy her or win her over, then don't mess with her.

However, girls like this are very suitable to be friends or business partners.

This is also why he invited the other party to start a business together two years ago.

As it turned out, he was right.

Youjie Home Services developed much faster than he had imagined, which indirectly helped him gain face among his father and grandfather.

On this point, he looked down on Hou Shaoyuan.

He invested purely to pick up girls, tying his work and relationships together.

Zhang Tianqi looked at the college beauty whose fighting spirit had been rekindled and whose eyes were bright.

I really want to know what kind of man could contain her huge ambitions, satisfy her desires, and even conquer her.

Anyway, he has never actually seen it so far.

The train slowly came to a stop at Yancheng Station.

Zhang Tianqi carefully placed the bookmark in the book, closed the copy of "Hear the Wind Sing" in his hand, and looked out the window at the platform.

Everyone is moving forward along their own predetermined path, but the destination is unknown, and there are many storms along the way.

Then listen to nature and your inner self, go with the flow, and enjoy the present moment.

Hear the Wind Sing.

Wish this partner good luck!

I also wish to inherit the family business soon!

Friday, June 30, 2023.

Inside a luxury apartment in Shencheng.

"Tap tap tap—" Assistant Zhen Yu walked over quickly and whispered, "Director Su, Ji Qiuyu from Xingyun International sent a message. Wen Ruan took the initiative to ask someone to send her her resume, wanting to work at Xingyun International's Yancheng branch."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu immediately stopped painting.

He wiped his hands with a damp towel, stood up, and walked around the room for a while.

Looking at the outline on the drawing paper, it seemed as if he had made up his mind.

She turned around, her eyes bright and alert, and asked, "How's it going with Guangying Media?"

Zhen Yu said in a low voice, "It's a complete mess. Twelve media outlets and 21 clients have successively issued notices to terminate cooperation. If this continues, Guangying Media's business will shrink to nothing within six months at most. Jingwu Capital should act quickly..."

Then, she gave a detailed account of the information she had received.

As a well-known local cultural media company in Yan Province, Guangying Media's main branches are located in various cities in Yan Province.

In addition, there are also small branch offices in Imperial Capital and Magic City.

This company actually has some influence.

If Tang Zong Entertainment, Smiling Holdings, and Jingwu Capital hadn't made their moves, things wouldn't have turned out this badly.

Su Yu raised an eyebrow slightly and said softly, "Notify Li Mohai of Xingyun International to directly acquire Guangying Media at a reasonable price and finalize the cooperation as soon as possible. Guangying Media's Yancheng headquarters as a subsidiary of Xingyun International. Also, have Ji Qiuyu contact Wen Ruan as soon as possible!"

"Okay, Director Su."

"Also, please arrange a meeting with Ms. Ouyang. She just returned to Shencheng last night, so let's set the time for tonight."

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."

Watching her assistant leave, Su Yu went to the window and opened it a crack.

She gently squinted her eyes, letting the morning breeze blow in.
