RIDO Bar, Chang'an District.

"Clink~~" The crystal-clear wine glasses clinked together.

Yu Si Cheng took a sip of brandy, unbuttoned one button of her shirt, and looked at Xie Shuyu, saying, "Besides the consumption downgrade you mentioned and the continuous market squeeze from large chain coffee brands, there is another very important point."

Some tea shops, fast food restaurants, and convenience stores have also started selling freshly made coffee.

These cross-industry competitors have certain advantages in terms of the number of stores, customer base, and channels, further intensifying market competition.

For example, the Hongtu Catering Group, which I met with in Yancheng this time, is planning to expand its chain restaurants into the coffee business.

He is the Vice President of Sales at Jiayi Coffee and has a deep understanding of the current market situation, so he is well aware of the problems Xie Shuyu is currently facing.

"I understand." Xie Shuyu nodded calmly. "I've been thinking about this possibility since 2020, so I've been marketing my brand and differentiating myself from the competition..."

Early morning light meals and fruit teas, now baking, collaboration with Guangying Media, short video marketing, and the creation of a group meal Mini Program.

These are all efforts she has made to stand out from the increasingly fierce market competition.

However, due to limitations in funding and resources, Glimmer Coffee has reached a bottleneck and has begun to gradually decline.

That's why she wanted to accept capital and rely on its ecological resources to gain a turning point.

In the past six months, some individual investors have shown interest, such as Huang Yangming of Yunli Hotel.

However, these individuals have limited funds available, requiring the participation of multiple individual investors.

This would result in highly dispersed equity, and Betting Agreement would also be required, which could lead to significant future risks.

Jiang You Rong listened quietly to their conversation, occasionally taking a few bites of the sweet and delicious sushi and the fragrant grilled meat.

The food at this RIDO Bar suits her taste perfectly, and she comes here occasionally for a meal.

She ordered so much delicious food today, but the other two people weren't interested at all, which allowed her to eat to her heart's content.

There are reasons why someone can gain weight.

9 p. m.

"Ring ring—" The Mobile Phone phone suddenly rang.

Yu Si Cheng glanced at it and smiled, "I'm going to answer a call."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the booth.

Not long after.

Yu Si Cheng walked back again, somewhat helplessly saying, "Sorry, a friend is coming over to have a couple of drinks. He's also from Jiayi Group. You don't mind, do you?"

Xie Shuyu put down her chopsticks and smiled, "Of course I don't mind. Do we know each other?"

Yu Si Cheng smiled and shook her head, then sat down in her seat. "She hadn't joined the company when you left. She's currently an assistant in the group's CEO Office, in charge of the coffee business. Because this client is very important, she came with me."

"Oh?" Xie Shuyu immediately perked up. "Then you're very welcome."

The assistant to the general manager of Jiayi Food Group is definitely a valuable connection.

Jiang You Rong's eyes flickered, and she chuckled, "Sicheng, is this assistant in the CEO Office male or female?"

"Woman, we live at the Hilton Hotel, not far from here."

Jiang You Rong instantly discerned something from Yu Si Cheng's expression and teased, "Could it be your girlfriend?"

"To be honest, that's true, but we haven't been together for very long, so we haven't officially announced it yet."

Jiang You Rong was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Really? Congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Sicheng! When are you getting married? Remember to let us know." Xie Shuyu Wei Xiao and raised her glass. "This is wonderful news, cheers!"

Looking at Xie Shuyu, who remained completely unmoved, Yu Si Cheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The girl I had a crush on in college, after graduation, ended up working in the same group and was unexpectedly transferred to the same subsidiary. We had daily contact due to business dealings and lived very close to each other.

They were actually very destined to be together.

But there was nothing she could do; Xie Shuyu was like a block of ice, never responding at all.

It seems that in her world, there is nothing but work.

Then I resigned and returned to Yancheng to start my own business.

As a successful and mature man, Yu Si Cheng has his own life plan and will not change it for any one person.

From that point on, he had already given up.

I briefly described how I got together with my girlfriend.

Yu Si Cheng's Mobile Phone rang again.

He answered the phone and said a few words in a low voice.

Yu Si Cheng smiled and said, "She's arrived. I'll go to the door to greet her."

After saying that, he stood up and walked outside.

Xie Shuyu and the other woman followed him toward the door.

Immediately afterwards, a waiter led a girl in.

She was in her early twenties, wearing a white spaghetti strap dress, high heels, carrying a delicate little gold handbag, and holding a black gift bag in her hand.

With her chestnut-brown long hair, exquisite makeup, and accessories, she looks youthful and stylish.

The girl waved to Yu Si Cheng, ran up to him, and kissed him on the cheek.

She affectionately took his arm, her gaze sweeping over them.

Jiang You Rong nudged Xie Shuyu's arm and whispered, "I have a feeling they're up to no good. Could they be here to assert their ownership of someone else's boyfriend because they're afraid you'll steal him away?"

"Hey, hey, don't joke around." Xie Shuyu pinched her waist subtly and stood up from the booth.

It's impossible for such a young assistant in the CEO Office to have no connections.

As her most important supply chain company, she didn't want to make enemies for no reason.

"Tap tap tap—" The two approached with crisp footsteps.

"This is my girlfriend, Pei Ya."

"Xiao Ya, these two are my schoolmates, Xie Shuyu and Jiang You Rong."

Pei Ya smiled confidently and greeted the two of them in a generous manner.

The four of them sat down in the booth.

Yu Si Cheng poured his girlfriend a glass of low-alcohol sparkling wine, and the four of them raised their glasses to toast.

Pei Ya put down her wine glass, looked at Xie Shuyu, and smiled, "Hello, Mr. Xie. I've heard a lot of people mention your name at the company before. You're the 25-year-old Marketing Department manager. When I joined the company, Director Zhao even praised you."

Xie Shuyu smiled politely, "You flatter me. Just call me by my name, no need to be so polite. Xiao Ya, you're very capable too, such a young assistant in the CEO Office."

Pei Ya smiled and shook her head. "Shuyu-jie, please don't say that. I benefited from my family elders' connections; I'm a relative of the family."

Hearing her words, Xie Shuyu's eyes flickered, and she instantly understood why Yu Si Cheng was with her.

As a listed company, Jiayi Food Group also faces fierce internal competition.

Once you reach the position of vice president of a subsidiary, it becomes extremely difficult to advance further.

Yu Si Cheng, being an ambitious person, was naturally unwilling to stop there.

With his emotional intelligence, looks, and talent, he certainly has the qualifications.

The group chatted briefly about Jiayi Food Group.

Pei Ya suddenly stood up excitedly, picked up the shopping bag beside her, and took out a heavy black gift box from it.

"Honey, before we came, I browsed around the mall next to the hotel and bought you a gift. See if you like it."

As she spoke, she placed the gift box in front of Yu Si Cheng and gently opened it.

"This is an LV Double-Sided Checkered Smooth Buckle Belt. Your belts are all too old-fashioned. Next time we go out on a date, you can wear this one and dress a bit younger so that you can match your lovely girlfriend better."

Jiang You Rong across from her couldn't help but purse her lips, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

Well, is this a sarcastic remark about our age?

"Thank you, Xiao Ya, I really like it." Yu Si Cheng kissed his young and beautiful girlfriend and accepted the gift with a big smile.

His gaze swept towards Xie Shuyu almost imperceptibly.

Actually, before he left, his girlfriend had told him that she wanted to come over, and he didn't refuse.

Ultimately, it's because I feel a little uncomfortable.

He wanted to show Xie Shuyu, who had deliberately distanced herself from and rejected him.

If you want to, you can find Bai Fumei, and successful woman from a good family, who is also very young.

Missing out on herself must be her regret.

Yanjing Sky City.

Tang Song stepped into the dressing room.

My gaze fell upon the clothes hanging there.

In addition to information about the materials and dimensions,

Next to him appeared his own 3D virtual model, with his clothes constantly changing to show the effect of trying on clothes.

Furthermore, the semi-transparent pop-up window also provides recommended outfits based on today's temperature and the occasion.

Tang Song stood in the dressing room, letting the intelligent AI recommend clothes and preview the effect of trying them on.

His eyes gleamed with excitement.

As a digital enthusiast, he naturally knows about augmented reality, AR, XR, MR, and other related technologies.

Similar devices are already very popular in the market, and many manufacturers are making them.

For example, the Apple Vision Pro, which was just released last month, is an innovative mixed reality (MR) headset.

It is now officially on the market, priced at 29,999 yuan.

Augmented reality effects are achieved through the interaction of sensors with cameras and screens.

On the software side, for example, Huawei's Hetu Map centimeter-level 3D maps, AI recognition, the collection of 4 billion WeChat points per square kilometer, and realistic virtual-real occlusion fusion rendering technology...

However, these are still in the early stages of development and are not very practical.

And his own "Special Vision," formed by the superposition of "Tang Song's Glasses," is simply the Da Cheng of the future.

If it can be commercially used, even if it retains only one-tenth of its effectiveness, it would still be a revolutionary device.

In the game "Male God Growth Plan", the Tang Yi Precision he controls actually has a similar development plan.

Especially with the continuous evolution of Qingning Technology's AI technology, it seems not impossible.

After changing his clothes and putting on the recommended Vacheron Constantin Overseas watch, Tang Song looked into the full-length mirror.

A handsome young man, dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, full of energy.

A pop-up window was also floating above his head.

[Player: Tang Song, Character: Songmei Clothing - CEO, Charm: 62'...]

[Feeling good mood, outfit score: 93, hairstyle suggestion... Improvement suggestion: When meeting a woman Good impression, you could bring a gift, for example...]

Tang Song smiled and winked. This "AI" is something else!

After thinking for a while, I opened the cabinet and rummaged through it for a bit.

When I went shopping with Lin Mu Xue to complete the "Impulse Spending" task, I bought a lot of luxury gifts, which are now coming in handy.

Select according to the "AI" suggestions.

Tang Song carried the gift bag and walked outside.

Just as I was about to pick up the car keys from the cloakroom in the Entrance Hall, a red warning pop-up appeared.

Do not drive after drinking alcohol.

Tang Song smiled, opened the door and went out, taking the elevator directly to the first floor.

A flowing virtual navigation arrow extends from beneath his feet.

As you scan the surroundings, the flowers and plants are outlined by a halo of light, and corresponding information pops up.

I hailed a taxi on the app and walked out of the community gate.

The bus stop signs display information about each stop and the buses that are about to arrive.

The person running had his walking speed, approximate age, mood, and direction marked above his head, reminding Tang Song to be careful and avoid him.

He would mark detailed information about every car that drove by, as long as his gaze was caught on it.

In the Yan Jing Hua Ting Residential Area, there is also a location indicator for [Partner - Zhao Yachian].

I boarded the private car smoothly.

The car slowly started moving and headed south.

The distance to the destination, approximate time, real-time traffic conditions, and navigation information appeared in my field of vision.

Tang Song's gaze swept over the flowing buildings, admiring the dazzling naked-eye 3D effects.

Having lived in Yanjing Sky City for so long, he had never had such a direct understanding of the surroundings.

"Whoosh!" A dazzling red light entered the field of vision.

As Tang Song focused his attention, Lin Mu Xue's photo appeared on the red light, rising and falling.

["Test Subject" Lin Mu Xue, Status: High Spirits (Studying & Masturbating), Emotional Buff in Effect...]

Tang Song's eyebrows twitched.

Xiao Xue, you're really addicted! Could it be that the more excited you are, the more energetic you become in your studies?

Immediately, Tang Song's lips curved into a smile, he picked up his Mobile Phone, and put on his Bluetooth headset.

I opened WeChat and sent a video call invitation to Lin Mu Xue.

"Ta-da-ta-da—Ta-da-ta-da—"

The phone rang twice and was quickly answered.

Lin Mu Xue's rosy cheeks appeared on the Mobile Phone screen; her hair was tied in a bun, and she was completely without makeup.

"Tang Song, is something the matter?" Lin Mu Xue's tone was somewhat agitated.

Tang Song raised his eyebrows and Wei Xiao, "It's nothing, I just wanted to see what you were doing."

Lin Mu Xue's eyes flickered, and she gently bit her moist lips. "I... I'm learning English. After all, Juqing Huijin is a foreign company, and in order to better communicate with my colleagues, I attend a training course every three days. I'm reviewing it now."

"This is the first time I've seen you with your hair in a bun. Point the camera at the full-length mirror so I can see how it looks overall."

"Ah!" Lin Mu Xue exclaimed softly, her eyes darting around as she said, "Um... I didn't tidy up the room much today, it's a mess. How about we wait a bit?"

"It's okay, I don't mind."

Lin Mu Xue's expression froze for a moment, her lips opening and closing.

"Okay, I have to go now. Let's talk next time. Bye."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Song chuckled softly, feeling even more cheerful.

A few minutes later.

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

[Xiao Xue: Selfie. jpg]

Xiao Xue: "I've tidied up a bit. I'm really sorry about what happened earlier."

She wore a sexy camisole and loose hot pants, and it seemed she wasn't wearing a bra, as the lines were quite obvious.

The neon-lit night outside the window flashed by.

After chatting with Xiao Xue on WeChat for a while, the car stopped outside a commercial street.

"Hello sir, we have arrived at our destination."

"Thank you." Tang Song opened the car door and got out, following the 3D navigation as he walked into the neighborhood.

The entire street seemed to be draped in a flowing, ever-changing colorful garment.

The previously static "GG Brand and storefront suddenly came to life and began to interact with him.

Tang Song's gaze fell on a glowing bar on the street corner, where a photo of Jiang You Rong floating above became increasingly eye-catching, especially her enormous breasts, which looked like two hot air balloons.

Inside RIDO Bar.

"Brother Sicheng, could you please get some wet wipes from my bag? My hands are a little dirty, so it's inconvenient for me to use them."

"Mwah~, thank you so much, darling, you're so good to me!"

"Shuyu-jie, Sister You Rong, cheers! Let's continue talking about the interesting things Sicheng did in college, I'm really curious."

Pei Ya was unusually lively in the booth.

He kept showing affection for Yu Si Cheng and insisted on dragging Xie Shuyu to drink and chat.

Slightly tipsy, Jiang You Rong mentally grumbled a few words, then stood up and said, "You guys chat, I'm going to the restroom and watch the show at the bar."

After saying that, he patted Xie Shuyu on the shoulder and walked out of the booth.

She really couldn't take it anymore; this girl was really going at it.

It's as if she and Xie Shuyu are both trying to steal her man.

Jiang You Rong was, after all, a charming and mature woman with many suitors.

Needless to say, Xie Shuyu was an exception.

They're just older, not unable to lift knives.

If it really came down to competing with you for a man, you, a young girl, would be no match for him.

After using the toilet, I washed my hands.

Jiang You Rong casually found a seat at the bar and ordered a glass of lemonade.

While listening to music, I pondered my summer travel plans.

"This bar has a really nice atmosphere. Do you come here often?" a voice said from beside me.

Jiang You Rong turned her head to look and saw a young man in his early twenties, quite handsome, staring straight at her.

With a slight smirk, Jiang You Rong lowered her head again, ignoring him.

The young man gave an awkward smile, turned around, and left.

Then, a few more people came up to chat with him.

As it approached 10 PM, the bar was at its busiest and most lively.

With her captivating charm and voluptuous figure, Jiang You Rong sat alone at the bar, like a lamp in the darkness, exceptionally alluring.

A barrage of intense gazes were cast in their direction.

With a sigh of relief, Jiang You Rong, annoyed beyond measure, got off her chair and turned to walk towards the booth.

As I approached the door, I happened to bump into a figure walking in.

A crisp white shirt, crisp and tailored casual trousers—the simple lines accentuate his handsome and upright figure, with clearly defined muscle contours subtly visible.

He has an excellent temperament, as if he has a magnetic field.

Everyone likes beautiful things.

Jiang You Rong was no exception; her gaze unconsciously swept towards his face.

Then, their eyes met, and they both looked at each other.

Jiang You Rong's heart pounded violently, and her whole body tensed up instantly.

It's him! It's him! It's him!

Although she only served as Jin Meixiao's assistant for a little over six months, and was one of six assistants, she still had in-depth contact with Kim Mi-so's life and work.

Inside a high-rise building in the Imperial Capital, in the President's Office, Director Jin, a cold and aloof man, exudes a powerful aura and elegant demeanor...

Scenes from the past flashed through her mind.

Even after more than six years, it remains incredibly clear.

Although her appearance has changed somewhat, she will never forget such a memorable person in her life!

That was the first time she had seen a "submissive" attitude in Director Jin.

"Hello." A clear and pleasant voice rang out.

As she looked at the man who was speaking to her with a gentle and friendly attitude, Jiang You Rong's full chest heaved violently.

So many years have passed? Does he still remember me, Director Jin's assistant?

I never imagined that I, Jiang You Rong, would have such charm!

Her face flushed, she said, "Hello, want to grab a drink?"

"Uh..." Tang Song's mouth gaped open in surprise as he looked at the voluptuous and mature Jiang You Rong in front of him.

A pop-up window was floating above her head.

[Jiang You Rong, 33 years old, Associate Professor at Yan City Normal University, Friendliness (90), Status: Surprised, Excited...]

[Tip: If you ask her to have a long talk all night after drinking, you have a good chance of success, and she won't mind.]

Tang Song blinked, somewhat confused about what was going on.

He was originally thinking about how to increase Xie Shuyu's Good impression rating, but he didn't expect it to soar to 90 as soon as they met.

Is it love at first sight? That's ridiculous.

This is a genuine university associate professor!

Sensing Tang Song's strange gaze, Jiang You Rong quickly explained, "What I mean is, haven't we met somewhere before? You look very familiar, so I wanted to invite you for a drink and chat."

This is someone even Jin Meixiao treats with utmost respect, and someone who has stirred deep emotions within her.

Since we met by chance and the other person was so friendly, we naturally wanted to get to know each other.

A handsome young man in the next booth twitched his eyelids and stared at Jiang You Rong and Tang Song in disbelief.

Beautiful lady, you're so hypocritical!

Damn it! Isn't this the same line I used to hit on you?

Upon hearing Jiang You Rong's words, Tang Song's eyes flickered slightly.

He didn't think Jiang You Rong was deliberately flirting with him, and since she didn't know about his relationship with Xie Shuyu, they probably had met before.

My past self...

Tang Song nodded and said, "Of course, it would be my honor."

His main purpose in coming here was to get in touch with Jiang You Rong and unlock the Study God mode, which suited him perfectly.

Moreover, he also gained the reputation of having a legitimate chance encounter with Xie Shuyu.

"My friend and I have a booth over there, let's go together." Jiang You Rong pursed her lips and looked at Tang Song with her watery eyes.

The light shone on him, outlining his perfect silhouette, and the scene from more than six years ago seemed to reappear.

The door was half-open, and a man sat on the sofa with piercing eyes.

Gone is the unapproachable aura he once possessed; he is now truly "gentle."

After walking along the bar's corridor for a short while, the two arrived at a private booth.

Jiang You Rong was about to speak.

Tang Song, who was standing next to her, exclaimed in surprise, "Shuyu-jie? What a coincidence, you're here too."

Jiang You Rong's expression froze, and she looked at her friend Xie Shuyu in surprise.

The three people in the booth all looked up at the same time.

Xie Shuyu paused for a moment, then quickly put down her wine glass and stood up. "Tang Song."

In front of outsiders, she still gave Tang Song face and never called him "Little Song".

Xie Shuyu's heart skipped a beat as her gaze swept up and down the room.

Compared to a month and a half ago, he has undergone a qualitative change.

A person's eyes often contain many things: emotions, inner qualities, and character...

Beneath the exquisite square-framed glasses of the Tang Song, boundless confidence and vitality leaped between his brows and eyes, making him incredibly charming.

Pei Ya, sitting opposite, blushed slightly and couldn't help but look the handsome guy who had suddenly appeared up and down.

He has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a tall and strong figure, a straight nose and thin lips, smooth and even skin, bright and deep eyes, and a very beautiful smile.

The key is temperament: elegance, composure, confidence, and high spirits.

Then I noticed the gleaming watch on the other person's wrist: Vacheron Constantin 4300V, worth over 700,000 yuan.

Frankly speaking, this boy is really outstanding and makes an excellent first impression.

Sensing the sudden change in atmosphere, Yu Si Cheng raised an eyebrow, stood up, and said, "Shu Yu, who is this?"

Tang Song nodded politely and said, "Hello, I'm Tang Song, a friend of Shuyu-jie."

After hearing his introduction.

Jiang You Rong's mind went blank.

She had indeed seen that name before.

On Director Jin's desk, in an open book, are bookmarks made of golden, umbrella-shaped Ginkgo Leaves.

The words "Tang Song Dynasties" are written on it in elegant and flowing calligraphy.

At the time, I thought it was just a combination of two dynasties.

I never expected it to be his name!

Jin Meixiao, Tang Song.

Thinking of the stunningly beautiful and exceptionally talented Director Jin, and then looking at Tang Song in front of me.

Jiang You Rong was deeply moved.

I feel like I've stumbled upon some incredible secret!

But what is the truth? Is it as I suspect? Perhaps we still need to explore further!
