Male Lead of Female-Oriented Novels

Beicheng Garden Residential Area.

"Squeak—" The door was pulled open.

Xu Qing strode in.

After changing into slippers, she had just stepped into the living room when she bumped into Shen Yuyan, who was coming out of the bedroom.

Good evening, Yan Yan.

"You seem so happy, is there some new breakthrough with Tang Song?" Shen Yuyan pointed to the shopping bag in her arms, "What's this?"

Xu Qing touched the Chanel in her arms and said with a beaming smile, "The Chanel Coco Crush gold bean necklace, I checked, it costs 21,000 yuan at the boutique!"

As a bit of a penny-pincher, she simply couldn't resist such expensive luxury gifts.

Shen Yuyan raised her eyebrows. "Was it a gift from Tang Song?"

Previously, Xu Qing gifted Tang Song a 4090 graphics card, Tang Song reciprocated with a gift worth approximately 30,000 yuan.

Dior Chain Handbag, LV perfumes, Chanel scarves and lipsticks.

It's still Xu Qing's favorite, and she often takes it out to show off.

"No, no." Xu Qing stuck out her pink tongue, exclaiming dramatically, "Yan Yan, I ran into that Wen Ruan you mentioned when I was eating KFC with Tang Song today. This necklace was a gift from her. Goodness, those big breasts and that big butt, oh my god!"

Shen Yuyan's expression froze, and she asked in confusion, "Why... why did she give you the necklace?"

"Hehe, it's all because your best friend is so cute that she was completely won over! Hahaha!" Xu Qing proudly raised her chin.

Shen Yuyan's lips twitched, and she gave her a light tap on the head, annoyed. "If you said you were a kitten, she might buy you a collar to play with. The problem is, you got caught dating her boyfriend. What woman could stand that? Be careful she doesn't poison your necklace!"

"Oh!" Xu Qing jumped back in surprise, then realized, "No way, Sister Wen Ruan is very nice to me. I bought this necklace on the spot."

"Hehe, you're calling her 'Sister Wen Ruan ' now? Are you planning to be her good little sister?"

Shen Yuyan her best friend best. She has a wild and unconventional way of thinking and her behavior is somewhat eccentric. She is easily influenced by others.

"Sigh, she's really awesome, we can't deny it. Being her younger sister isn't so bad." Xu Qing excitedly pulled a business card from her bag and handed it over. "Look at this, Sister Wen Ruan said she'll protect me from now on. If I have any problems at work, I can just go to her!"

"This is..." Upon seeing the information above, Shen Yuyan's brows twitched, and she exclaimed in disbelief, "The Executive Director of Guangying Media!? Wen Ruan?"

"Hmm, Yan Yan, you've heard of this company?" Xu Qing blinked her big, dark eyes, realizing from her best friend's expression that things weren't so simple.

Shen Yuyan's breathing quickened, and her full chest heaved.

After a long pause, he finally managed to say, "Youjie Home Services, a leading company in the media industry in Yan Province, has previously cooperated with them."

The most difficult thing for a housekeeping company is acquiring customers. At the beginning of the business, besides the channels through Uncle Zhang Tianqi, there were no other channels available.

They also purchased GG Spot from media companies.

However, due to limited funds, what is called a cooperation is actually just a regular recharge account, with a few GGs being released occasionally.

Later, Guo Liyuan went to Ordinary People), Youjie Home Services successfully raised funds, so she restarted the related business.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Xu Qing exclaimed in surprise, her eyes then Jing Jing. "Doesn't that mean she's much more powerful than Lin Mu Xue?!"

Shen Yuyan bit her lip, her gaze complicated, and said, "It's different. If the information on this business card is true, then Wen Ruan is already a big shot with a lot of influence."

She discovered that every woman with an ambiguous relationship with Tang Song seemed to have a very important background.

However, this only made her more confused.

I just can't understand how Wen Ruan and kind woman could be so generous.

If she were Tang Song's girlfriend, she would definitely try every means to squeeze out the others.

I should at least avoid upsetting them, why would I take the initiative to be friendly?

Shen Yuyan grabbed her best friend's arm and asked, "Qing Qing, what stage have things progressed between you and Tang Song?"

"Huh?" Xu Qing blushed and whispered, "We're just friends, what's wrong?"

"You know what I mean."

"Yan Yan, what are you thinking? He has girlfriends, two of them!"

"Answer my question directly!" Shen Yuyan pinched her chin and looked directly into her eyes.

Xu Qing's eyes trembled, and she stammered, "He... he... he kissed my face, it was a forced kiss, I didn't consent."

She did not choose to hide anything from her best friend, with whom she could share everything.

Shen Yuyan hugged Xu Qing's waist, looking at her with bright eyes and said, "Qing Qing, my advice to you is, if you really like him, take the initiative."

Xu Qing retorted, her neck stiff, "I'm a legal professional with impeccable morals! I would never do that!"

"Then stay far away from him, and avoid any ambiguous contact! If he tries to kiss you again, push him away forcefully!"

Hearing her words, Xu Qing's face instantly turned flustered. "I can't chat with you anymore, I haven't finished writing my novel yet, I need to go and work!"

After saying that, she lowered her head and walked quickly towards the bedroom.

"Bang!" The bedroom door was slammed shut.

Xu Qing leaned against the door and took a few deep breaths before sitting down at her desk and staring blankly at the Chanel box.

The Tang and Wen Ruan Tang Song at present are probably engaged in indescribable details with Wenru.

After a while, she angrily cursed Tang Song as a "scumbag".

I carefully tucked the gift box into the drawer, turned on my computer, and started typing away.

That wretched little Songzi! He dared to kiss me so lightly and then spanked my butt!

Just wait and see how I deal with you tonight!

Yanjing Huating, a large single-level apartment.

The bedroom, decorated in a French-style minimalist luxury, is brightly lit.

After washing up, Xiao Jing lay on the large pink round bed, wearing only a tank top and leggings, looking very sexy.

Her fair, glowing skin brightened the entire room by a degree.

She kicked her long, slender legs, her eyes sparkling as she looked at her Mobile Phone screen.

In the WeChat group "The Beauty of the Anime World".

[Qing Qing: "His gaze became dull and hazy, and he suddenly knelt down in front of me, tears streaming down his face, and said..."]

"Hmph! How dare they talk about my Tang Song Gege like that! I'll tell them right away!" Xiao Jing muttered to herself, her face full of excitement.

I imagine that one day, Tang Song Gege might also make me kneel down and admit my mistakes, and even make me drink his bathwater.

This is so horrific! It's unbearable to look at!

Xiao Jing excitedly bit her lip and started typing a reply in the group chat.

A week later, Qing Qing once again described the stories around her in the group chat tonight.

Meanwhile, a new character emerged.

She has a mature and charming appearance and works as a saleswoman at a luxury car dealership.

She met her boyfriend when he went to buy a car, and they became quite close.

One time, Qing Qing bumped into them having dinner together. It turned out that the saleswoman was actually Qing Qing's cousin from her hometown.

Things started to take a strange and complicated turn from here.

Of course, what really intrigued Xiao Jing was who this "cousin" was!

After all, the characters Qing Qing writes about are all based on real people.

The fact that the male protagonist has gained a suitor and competitor suggests that Tang Song likely actually has such a person in his life.

Who could it be?

And who is that green tea bitch next to the male lead?

This experience of deciphering and exploring new things thrilled her.

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

It was my colleague Qi Wen.

Xiao Jing quickly answered the phone, "Hello, Sister Wen."

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I was too busy and forgot to reply to your WeChat."

"Okay, I'm free tomorrow night, you can make the arrangements."

"Okay, bye-bye."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Jing started chatting in the group again.

Brocade Business is now one of the companies under Smiling Holdings, so it was allocated 4 training slots in Imperial Capital.

The requirement is that the candidate be a mid-level manager under the age of 30.

There aren't many people who meet this requirement to begin with, so the competition comes down to who has the stronger connections.

She and Qi Wen were the two pre-selected candidates.

Qi Wen's father is the head of a provincial state-owned enterprise and was a classmate of the president, Feng Zhongping.

After leaving the Channels Department - Telemarketing Platform Team, Qi Wen went directly to the Cross-Border E-Commerce Division as a branch manager.

They are fully qualified.

Needless to say, her father is a shareholder and supervisor, and she herself is a long-time employee and compensation manager.

Unlike her, Qi Wen valued this training opportunity very much.

To be precise, the reason she joined Brocade Business was because of the existence of Smiling Holdings.

Actually, she and Qi Wen had only known each other for a short time, but they had a very good relationship.

So I invited her to stay in my big apartment with me when I went to Imperial Capital on a business trip.

Xiao Jing may not have much else, but she has a lot of houses!

Imperial Capital, Magic City, Hang City, Rong City...

It has properties in most of the cities I like, and they are all in good locations and well-decorated.

Qi Wen called to invite her to dinner tomorrow night as a way of expressing her gratitude.

Let's also discuss the details of the business trip to Imperial Capital.

I chatted with them in the group for a while longer.

Xiao Jing turned over, turned off the crystal chandelier, and turned on the bedside Mood Lighting.

Xiao Jing blinked and gently twisted her legs.

Back on the main screen, I opened Tang Song's WeChat and sent him a video chat.

"Ta-da-ta-da—Ta-da-ta-da—"

The message was sent but no one answered for quite a while.

Just as she was about to hang up, Tang Song's figure suddenly appeared on the screen.

Xiao Jing gasped softly, her eyes widening instantly.

this...

Tang Song's face was not visible in the image; only his upper body was shown.

He wasn't wearing any clothes, and as he walked, sweat trickled down his skin.

A well-defined chest, clearly defined six-pack abs, and smooth muscle definition that looks like it was sculpted.

It exudes a strong aura of male hormones.

Xiao Jing reacted quickly and immediately started taking screenshots.

"Click—click—"

After a moment, Tang Song sat down on a stool on the other end of the video call.

The camera pans upwards, revealing a handsome face with a straight nose and thin lips.

Her jet-black hair, damp with sweat, possessed an unusual beauty.

Xiao Jing licked her lips, and her whole body instantly felt Susu and numb.

Her intimate contact with Tang Song was limited to being Pat Pat and never went too far.

This was the first time she had ever realized that Tang Song had such a great figure!

She has a figure that's practically straight out of a manga! And it's from Korean Comics!

"Xiao Jing, what's up?" Tang Song's voice sounded slightly tired.

Xiao Jing twisted her thighs forcefully and whispered sweetly, "Song, did you just finish exercising?"

"Yeah, I've been exercising for almost two hours now, I'm pretty tired."

"Excessive exercise can harm your body, so you should be careful," Xiao Jing said with concern while secretly admiring the man's good looks.

Originally, I wanted to find out if he had bought a car and knew any salespeople.

Upon seeing this, Tang Song instantly forgot all about these things.

The two chatted for more than ten minutes.

Xiao Jing blinked her big eyes and said Tian Tian, "This is the first time I've noticed you have such a great figure. I can tell you must work very hard. Can I see your leg muscles?"

Her expression was very innocent and well-behaved, as if she was simply concerned about the other person's fitness activities.

Tang Song paused, a slightly embarrassed expression on his face. "I was just about to take a shower, so..."

Xiao Jing's eyes lit up instantly, and she said in Ruan Ruan, sweet voice, "Um, it's okay."

"Uh..." After a moment, the Mobile Phone screen changed.

"Ah!" Xiao Jing covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise, her face turning bright red instantly.

"Xiao Jing, look at yours."

Xiao Jing bit her lip and adjusted her Mobile Phone camera.

Immediately afterwards, she appeared in the camera wearing a tank top and leggings.

"Not enough." Tang Song's voice was gentle and clear, like a breeze that made Xiao Jing tremble all over.

"Private Masay!"

Shengyuan Jiajing, townhouses.

After hanging up the video call, Tang Song chuckled and shook his head before walking out of the audiovisual room on the third floor.

Actually, when he first went on a date with Xiao Jing, he felt that this goddess of the company was a bit quirky and not as well-behaved as she seemed on the surface.

Her later boldness and initiative proved this point.

Just like what happened now.

(. Y.)

How interesting! Just as interesting as Qing Qing!

Pushing open the door to the master bedroom, Tang Song first took a shower, dried himself off, and then crawled into bed.

He embraced the unconscious Wen Ruan from behind, kissed her hair, and slowly closed his eyes.

This lady really suffered a lot today.

This was the first time Tang Song had ever seen his older sister so frightened; he had even screamed himself hoarse.

I will definitely have to take the day off tomorrow.

Friday, August 4, 2023: Cloudy turning to showers, 26-35℃

Yunxi Building, Songmei Clothing.

"The current return rate has dropped to 45%, but the sales volume in the live broadcast room is also declining."

"This is unavoidable. Previously, it was due to the popularity of Bei Weiwei, but now the tide is receding, and those who remain are our true target customers, and the number of these users is not small."

"Keep up the good work. The most important thing is product selection and quality control. I'm currently deploying the inventory management system, and it will be available soon."

"Alright, meeting adjourned!"

Stepping out of the conference room, Tang Song took out his Mobile Phone, glanced at it, and raised an eyebrow slightly.

There are two missed calls.

It was my cousin Yang Zihang, the son of my aunt.

That's quite unusual.

I've been working in Yancheng for almost 10 months now.

Although both of them lived in Yancheng, they had only actually met and talked once, when his mother asked him to help deliver something. (Chapter 121)

Back in the President's Office, Tang Song immediately dialed back.

The call was answered quickly, "Hello, cousin."

"Hey, Xiao Song, I heard from your aunt that you're driving back to Yancheng in the next couple of days? What's the exact time?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, we should depart tomorrow morning."

"That's great!" Yang Zihang laughed. "I was worried about sending my household registration book home by courier, but since you're going back to Quancheng, could you take it back for me on your way?"

"No problem, shall we meet up today?"

Yang Zihang thought for a moment and said, "How about this, let's have dinner together tonight. It's kind of embarrassing to say, you've been in Yancheng for quite a while now, and I haven't treated you to a meal yet. There's a Internet Celebrity restaurant that just opened near my company, and I was planning to go with my girlfriend, so we can go together."

Tang Song nodded and said, "OK, that's fine. Just send me the restaurant address later."

Today is Friday, and most of the work at the company has been completed.

After hanging up the phone, I quickly received a WeChat message from the other party.

[Zi Hang: Jinshi Restaurant]

[Zi Hang: "I get off work early, and I live very close by. It depends on your schedule."]

Tang Song: "Okay, I'll head over right after I get off work at 6. I'll let you know when I'm almost there."

Tang Song put down his Mobile Phone and looked at the time on his wrist.

16:10.

He knew little about his cousin Yang Zihang's current situation, having only heard some things from his parents.

After graduating from university, I joined a state-owned enterprise. The job was easy, with a 9-to-5 schedule.

My girlfriend is a colleague at work; she's quite pretty.

I recently bought a house in Yancheng, and I think I brought my household registration book with me then.

Dezheng Business Building, Yan Province Cultural Tourism Investment Group.

Yang Zihang put down his Mobile Phone, returned to his workstation, and began working.

Their company pays salaries on the 5th of each month, but earlier if it falls on a holiday.

Today happens to be payday.

After my salary arrived in my account this morning, I made plans with my girlfriend to go out for a big meal together.

At noon, I heard from my mother that Tang Song was going back to his hometown.

His impressions of his cousin Tang Song are mostly from his teenage years.

At that time, they actually had a very good relationship, since their families were from the surrounding towns and they often visited each other.

We rarely saw each other after that, and we lost touch with each other.

I've only heard that he worked very hard throughout college, and he didn't even rest during winter and summer vacations.

Moreover, his academic performance is excellent, and he has a very good chance of being admitted to a prestigious university for graduate studies.

Unfortunately, his uncle lost his job and his aunt fell ill, forcing him to give up his dream of further education and work for a major Internet Plus company in Imperial Capital.

I suddenly returned to Yancheng last November.

During the Chinese New Year, I heard from relatives that Tang Song had gained a lot of weight and looked listless.

However, Tang Song left a very deep impression on him during their last meeting.

Tall, handsome, and very energetic.

Especially that Bai Fumei partner who drives Mercedes-Benz S-Class, she's so awesome.

5 p. m.

Yang Zihang finished tidying up his work and clocked out.

He also left a message for his girlfriend. "Zhu Zhu, I'm waiting for you downstairs."

My colleagues and I took the elevator to the first floor and arrived at the ground-level parking lot.

He smoked while waiting.

His girlfriend, Zhao Yuzhu, works in the General Office, on a different floor from him.

I waited for four or five minutes.

Then he saw his girlfriend Zhao Yuzhu walk out of the gate, accompanied by her colleague and best friend Hu Jingjing.

Zhao Yuzhu sniffed and said irritably, "Smoking again? You just recovered from a cold!"

"Heh, I just have one now and then," Yang Zihang said with a chuckle. "By the way, my cousin is coming over tonight, let's go eat later. He's going back to his hometown of Quancheng tomorrow, so he can help me take my household registration book back with him."

Zhao Yuzhu paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's good, it saves me the worry of sending packages by courier."

Hu Jingjing tugged at Zhao Yuzhu's arm and said, "Brother Hang, I've seen that restaurant on Douyin a lot, and I'd really like to go. Would you mind if I went with you?"

"Of course not, you're warmly welcome!"

The three of them got into the car while chatting and laughing.

Soon, the black Passat merged into the main road.

Hu Jingjing clicked her tongue and said, "I really envy you two. You have a house and a car now, and you're living a wonderful life."

"What's there to envy? Once you buy a house, you become a mortgage slave, with monthly mortgage payments of over 4,000 yuan." Zhao Yuzhu couldn't help but complain, "Working in a state-owned enterprise is easy, but the pay is low. We're all from small families with no connections or background, so this is probably how our lives will be."

Yang Zihang an awkward smile and didn't say anything more.

His family's financial situation was quite ordinary. After he started dating his girlfriend, his family pooled their money to buy him a car.

I had to pay another 150,000 yuan for the down payment on the house, which emptied my savings.

Fortunately, his girlfriend is a good person. Although they are not married, she lives with him and provides him with a lot of financial assistance.

"I think Hang Ge's department is pretty good. New media is all the rage now, so they have a bright future."

Zhao Yuzhu shook her head and said, "It's too difficult. I'm even thinking of persuading him to switch jobs."

As the office's administrative specialist, Zhao Yuzhu has a clear understanding of the company's internal relationships.

Yang Zihang is just an ordinary employee in the company's New Media Operations Department, responsible for video editing, packaging, and production.

In non-core departments, the company doesn't value them much, and without connections or background, it's difficult to get promoted.

"Please don't!" Hu Jingjing advised, "The current economic climate is bad. What if the company you switch to goes bankrupt? You're getting married next year. It's much better to settle down and stay together."

Yang Zihang nodded and said, "It's not easy to find a suitable job these days, so let's stay put for a couple of years. I'll try to run my own social media account later and earn some extra money."

"Sigh, that's true." Zhao Yuzhu sighed.

Working in the General Office, she had the opportunity to meet many important figures alongside her superiors.

Deep down, I had some longing for it, and I really wanted my boyfriend to give it a shot.

However, their family circumstances are average, their tolerance for mistakes is too low, and they have many concerns.

Soon, the car drove into a residential area and parked outside Building 3.

This is a typical old-style residential area, not very large, consisting of six-story buildings without elevators.

The building and facilities are somewhat old, and the landscaping and property management are also quite poor.

Of course, the biggest advantage is that it's close to the company, less than 3 kilometers away.

Room 401.

Yang Zihang put the household registration booklet into a sealed bag and then put it in his pocket.

The three of them sat in the living room, chatting idly while waiting for Tang Song.

Zhao Yuzhu patted her boyfriend's thigh and asked curiously, "Hey, Zi Hang, does your cousin have a girlfriend?"

Yang Zihang thought for a moment and replied, "I don't think so."

He had specifically asked his aunt before, and the answer he received was that Gao Mengting was indeed just a business partner, not Tang Song's girlfriend.

Zhao Yuzhu continued, "What does he look like?"

Yang Zihang's mind quickly conjured up images of the Tang Song he had previously encountered.

White shirt, black trousers, black leather shoes; tall and handsome.

He said truthfully, "After all, he's my cousin. He looks somewhat like me and is quite handsome."

"Tch~~" Zhao Yuzhu slapped him in an annoyed tone, "Tell the truth!"

"He's quite handsome, but more importantly, he has a great presence and exudes an elite aura."

"Wow!" Zhao Yuzhu nudged Hu Jingjing. "He's your favorite handsome guy with great charisma! Want to give him a try?"

Hu Jingjing didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "Do you have a photo? Let me see how handsome he is!"

She doesn't have any other hobbies, except for reading novels, and she always fantasizes about finding a boyfriend like the male protagonist in a novel.

Her friends all know this and always tease her about it.

"Unfortunately, there really isn't one." Yang Zihang shrugged.

"Ding-dong—" A notification sound rang out on my Mobile Phone's WeChat.

Yang Zihang glanced at it and smiled, "Tang Song just got off work and will be here in about 20 minutes. Jing Jing, you'll be able to meet him in person soon."

Hu Jingjing paused, then asked in surprise, "Brother Hang, what's your cousin's name?"

"Tang Song".

"Tang Song!" Hu Jingjing's eyes lit up instantly. "That name sounds like a super handsome guy! The male lead in the female-oriented novel I'm currently following, ' Wrong Room, Then I Picked Up a Domineering CEO,' is named Tang Song!"

The writing is excellent, and the plot is super engaging! The male lead is constantly being bullied and tormented by the female lead, which is quite amusing!

Hehe, when we meet later, I'm going to share the novel with him!
