Vehicle Gift Pack

He watched Zhao Yaqian disappear from sight.

Li Jingzhong shook his head in disappointment, looked Tang Song up and down, then suddenly smiled. "You're Zhao Yaqian's friend, right? When you have time, talk some sense into her. Suitable jobs aren't easy to find these days, especially for a young girl like her who never went to college."

Tang Song frowned and asked coldly, "What kind of job are you referring to?"

From their conversation just now, it was obvious that the work he meant was far from simple.

Zhao Yaqian was a simple-minded person. If he genuinely wanted to help her, he would not have acted like that.

Li Jingzhong looked into his eyes and said flatly, "Of course, the job best suited for her. Forget it, I can't be bothered arguing with a young man like you. You'll understand some things later."

With that, he curled his lip, brushed past Tang Song beneath their umbrellas, and got into a Sapphire Blue Benz parked by the roadside.

"Beep beep beep—" A piercing horn blared.

The black tires spun through the rainwater, and the Mercedes-Benz vanished into the rainy curtain at the end of the street.

Tang Song withdrew his gaze, wanting to go inside and talk to Zhao Yaqian.

But after hesitating for a moment, he gave up.

They had not known each other long and did not understand each other very well. Asking something like that would be presumptuous.

He returned to Qingxin Garden.

Tang Song opened his umbrella and carefully left it on the balcony to dry.

He sent Zhao Yaqian a message: "The fried skewers today were delicious. Thanks. Once I succeed in losing weight, I'll treat you to a big meal too."

Setting down his mobile phone, Tang Song sat on the sofa and gazed at the rainy night outside the window.

He opened the System Interface and checked the details of the mission he had just triggered.

Side Quest: My First Car

Mission Content: Use the savings you have accumulated since starting work to buy your own first car according to your preferences, then visit and check in at three scenic spots with a friend of the opposite sex.

Mission Reward: Vehicle Gift Pack*1

Note 1: The price of this car must not exceed 45,220.31 yuan.

Note 2: Owning a car of your own has been your dream since graduation. It does not have to be luxurious, expensive, or beautiful, but it can shield you from the wind and rain, pick up and drop off your date, expand the radius of your life, take you on road trips, and let you experience the joy of owning a car.

He checked the reward details.

Vehicle Gift Pack*1: Upon opening, you can randomly obtain a vehicle worth up to 500,000 yuan.

After reading the mission description and reward, Tang Song shot to his feet.

Good lord! It directly rewarded a car worth up to 500,000 yuan!

He was young too, and he was very interested in electronics, cars, sneakers, and music. He knew quite a bit about them as well.

Owning a car of his own had indeed been his dream, but he had always suppressed that desire in order to save up for a house.

Now, not only could he buy a small car according to his own preferences, but the system would also throw in another one.

It might be random, but even drawing one worth two or three hundred thousand would be great!

Besides, this mission was not difficult. It could even be called extremely simple.

As for the restriction that "the price must not exceed 45,220.31 yuan," it was probably because that was the actual amount of savings he had before obtaining the system.

It was money he had earned bit by bit through his own efforts.

Although the money had now all been invested in the Betting Agreement, it had not disappeared.

Tang Song took a deep breath, sat down in front of his computer, opened an automotive information website, and began searching for a car that suited him.

There were very few new cars under 45,000 yuan. They were all tiny cars or little vans, and he was not very interested in them.

A used car would be worth considering if he could find one from a reliable source. That would give him far more options.

He did not know how much time had passed.

"Ding Dong—" The WeChat Notification Sound rang.

Tang Song raised his eyebrows. Zhao Yaqian had finally replied.

Tiankuo Garden residential complex.

Zhao Yaqian opened the door, kicked off her flats, and casually hung up the bag in her hand.

"Ding ding ding—" Barefoot, she strode into the Living Room on her Long Legs.

She unbuttoned her small suit jacket, dropped onto the sofa, picked up the fruit platter from the coffee table, and started devouring it.

Her Best Friend, He Liting, was applying a face mask and watching a drama. She glanced at her and said casually, "That fruit platter cost twenty in total. Remember to transfer me ten later."

Zhao Yaqian pursed her lips, and tears began gathering in her eyes.

Seeing that, He Liting quickly comforted her. "Alright, don't cry. I know you're broke. I was only joking."

Zhao Yaqian squeezed her brows in grievance and polished off the fruit in a few bites.

Her body went slack as she leaned against He Liting, staring blankly ahead. "It's too hard, Tingzi. It's too hard for me."

"Can you stop being so discouraged? What's the big deal? You just haven't bought new clothes for a month, can't pay off your credit card or Huabei, don't have money for rent, your family is drowning in debt, you never went to college, and your boss owes you over two months' wages while constantly PUA-ing you... Okay, I can't keep going. You really are miserable!"

Zhao Yaqian smacked her on the chest, forced back her tears, picked up her mobile phone, and looked at the message Tang Song had sent earlier, not knowing how to reply.

He Liting leaned over to look, curiosity filling her voice. "Is this the customer you mentioned last time, the really nice one? The one who gave you Swarovski Earrings? Oh! You two went on a date today? You had Handmade Fried Skewers together? This relationship is getting somewhere! You've only treated me to them three times!"

At that, Zhao Yaqian's tears spilled out. "But I feel like I cheated him. I knew YiZi Beauty was about to go under, but I still accepted his 2,000-yuan top-up for a membership card."

"What the hell are you upset about? You're just an ordinary employee. You only did what you were supposed to do. It's not your fault the shop is closing down!"

"But... but... we're friends. He'll probably be angry with me, right?"

He Liting said irritably, "Zhao Yaqian, are you actually stupid or just pretending? Isn't it obvious that guy wants to pursue you? How could he get mad over something like this? He'll probably rush to comfort you and even help you find a job!"

At that, Zhao Yaqian's face reddened, and she stammered, "Y-you're talking nonsense!"

"Tch, you know whether I am or not!" He Liting sat up straight and asked curiously, "How about you tell me about that guy? If his circumstances are suitable, you might as well just go for him. Then you could... Hey, hey, hey! Stop tickling me!"

Embarrassed and angry, Zhao Yaqian immediately began wrestling with her best friend on the sofa.

After quite a while, the two finally calmed down.

He Liting tugged at the face mask on her face. "Tell me about him. Even if neither of you has that kind of intention, I just want to know what sort of person he is. I'm just curious."

Zhao Yaqian lay on her best friend's lap and murmured, "He's a pretty good person. He speaks gently and kindly, and the way he handles things..."

"Stop! You've already told me all that. I'm asking about his financial situation!"

"Uh... I Don't know the specifics. I only know he's a programmer, rents a place in Qingxin Garden next to Yunsheng Plaza, doesn't own a car, and judging by how he dresses, he probably isn't rich."

"That sounds pretty dull. Do you have a photo?"

Zhao Yaqian picked up her mobile phone and looked through it. She found a photo she had taken at the fried skewer shop today, and Tang Song happened to be in the shot.

He Liting took it and looked it over. "He's not particularly outstanding either. Combined with his financial situation, you two aren't suitable!"

"Can you stop talking about that all the time?" Zhao Yaqian gave her an annoyed smack.

Looking at Tang Song's photo, she Sighed and opened WeChat to reply: "Brother Song, I'm very sorry. Yi Zi Beauty and Hair Salon really has run into operational problems. It was my fault for not explaining things clearly at the time."
