Tuesday, August 8, 2023, partly cloudy, 25~32℃.

"Ring ring—ring ring—"

The alarm clock kept ringing.

In the bedroom, where the temperature was just right, the curtains were drawn, making the room somewhat dim.

Zhao Yachian groggily reached out and fumbled around on the pillow for a while before finally grabbing her Mobile Phone.

Then, the faint light from the Mobile Phone screen illuminated her three-dimensional facial features.

She casually pressed the stop button, and Zhao Yachian lay half-lying on the quilt, her eyes still half-closed, seemingly still immersed in the dream she had just had.

Her long, wine-red hair was draped over her shoulders, and her long, snow-white, full legs were partially exposed.

After a while, she suddenly sat up in bed and checked the time.

[6:44]

"Tap tap tap—" Barefoot on the floor, I quickly walked into the dressing room.

Soon, the robe slowly fell to the ground, revealing her fair and sensual body to the air.

After changing into Yoga Suit, Zhao Yachian strolled to the balcony.

Stand on the laid-out yoga mat and begin practicing yoga poses according to the video tutorial.

Her movements were very clumsy and stiff. As soon as she lifted one foot, her body swayed a little. She waved her hands in the air a few times before she could barely steady herself.

When Zhao Yachian tried the Downward Dog, she glanced at herself in the full-length mirror and blushed.

What should have been an elegant posture looked somewhat comical on her. Her back wasn't fully straight, and her buttocks weren't raised high as in the tutorial. Instead, they resembled a small, crooked arch.

So this is what Brother Song saw when he was behind me before.

It's really not aesthetically pleasing.

Recently, she, Xiao Xue, Zhang Yurong have attended many gatherings of various kinds.

She also made many outstanding new friends, including Bai Fumei, socialites, and career elites.

In her social interactions, she gradually discovered that she didn't seem to have any real hobbies or interests to show for herself, nor any skills, and she couldn't participate in many topics.

If she had to use one adjective, she felt "vase" would be quite fitting.

This discovery was a huge blow to her and created a sense of crisis.

After discussing it with her cousin Tingzi for several days, she enrolled in a dance class and started learning dance.

Like most girls, she loved singing and dancing since she was a child.

However, her tone-deafness blocked her from singing, so dancing became the best option.

Moreover, if you learn it well, it can not only make your figure more perfect, but also enhance your temperament.

Of course, you can also occasionally dance a beautiful and sexy dance for Tang Song to provide emotional value.

But she soon discovered that she was also quite bad at Dance Talent, with Taihang balance and flexibility, and her movements were particularly ugly.

After wallowing in self-pity for a while, Zhao Yachian still decided to persevere.

I've started practicing yoga diligently, hoping to improve my basics.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Zhao Yachian sighed dejectedly, feeling rather inadequate.

I had breakfast with my cousin.

Zhao Yachian took a thorough shower and then began the long process of skincare, makeup, and hairstyling.

Finally, I chose a long dress with a more business-like style.

Today is a very important day for her.

The investment agreement with Yisha Beauty Industry is finally about to be signed.

After assessing the company's assets, financial condition, brand value, and management team, both parties determined the valuation.

The Pre-investment Valuation was 65 million.

The greatest value lies in Yisha Beauty Industry's brand and membership system.

Because it is positioned as a high-end beauty industry.

Isa's members are all high-end customers in Yancheng. Last year, its net profit exceeded 7 million yuan, even after deducting the large amount of investment in replacing equipment every year.

To fully enter the high-end light medical aesthetics market, the required investment in decoration, equipment, and professional personnel would amount to tens of millions.

Zhang Yurong herself will also invest in this round of financing, and the Post-investment Valuation will exceed 100 million.

For Zhao Yachian, this was an astronomical figure, as it concerned her future, making her extremely nervous and excited.

9:30 a. m.

"Ding-dong—ding-dong—" The long doorbell rang.

Lin Mu Xue's image appeared on the indoor LED screen.

Zhao Yachian quickly opened the door.

He twirled around in front of her, beaming, and said, "Honey, do you think my outfit looks good today?"

Lin Mu Xue looked her up and down for a while, then smiled and said, "Very beautiful, a true Beauty Zhao."

"Xiao Xue, you look beautiful today too, a true Beauty Lin, hehe."

Lin Mu Xue blinked. "Beauty Zhao, Beauty Lin, why do we feel like we're concubines in the imperial harem?"

Because she frequently watches Historical Drama, Zhao Yachian naturally understood what she meant.

In ancient times, the title "beauty" was a title bestowed upon the emperor's concubines.

Her face flushed slightly, Zhao Yachian teased softly, "What you're saying doesn't seem wrong. How about we both serve Beauty Lin next time? Song Ge and I will undress her together."

As she spoke, she pinched Xiao Xue's slender waist with her hand.

Perhaps recalling the scene from last time, Lin Mu Xue shuddered, trying her best to maintain her elegance as she said, "Qianqian, I'm not that kind of person."

Her carefully crafted persona! She's supposed to be a highly educated finance professional!

"Ha~" Zhao Yachian hugged her and kissed her, then said with a grin, "I eavesdropped for a while in Yanjing Sky City last time, Xiao Xue, you're not like this in bed."

Lin Mu Xue gritted her teeth, her eyelids trembling. "I drank too much that day. You know I'm a pretty easygoing person."

"Okay, okay, I believe you. Anyway, the sheets were changed the next day. Xiao Xue, you're really something. Did you wet the bed?" Zhao Yachian blinked and made a little joke.

"Hey! You beautician, you've even learned to be sarcastic! You're the one who wets the bed! How old am I!" Lin Mu Xue couldn't hold back any longer and pounced on her, her face flushed.

Her most embarrassing secret is about "drawing maps".

Under no circumstances should a third person know.

Otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to lift her head.

After joking around for a bit, the two went downstairs together.

The black Mercedes-Benz -Maybach slowly started moving, and after Juqing Huijin and several employees from the Investment Department, it headed towards the headquarters of Yisha Beauty Industry.

Around noon.

"Swish, swish, swish—" The sound of the pen tip slicing through the paper rang out continuously.

Zhao Yachian let out a long sigh and put the contract back.

Zhang Yurong, sitting opposite her, stood up excitedly, beaming, and said, "Qianqian, from now on we're officially comrades-in-arms and partners! Yisha Beauty Industry will definitely not let you down. The future of the light medical aesthetics market in Yan Province will be ours!"

This round of financing was much easier and more pleasant than she had imagined.

In particular, the professional talent brought by Zhao Yachian gave her a strong sense of security.

Within 3 days, Juqing Huijin will invest 40 million yuan in Yisha Beauty Industry in Zhao Yachian's name.

She herself will also invest 15 million yuan, which is her savings over the years. She even sold some of her fixed assets for this purpose, which can be considered as using her life savings.

The company's Post-investment Valuation 120 million yuan.

The new shareholding structure is as follows: Zhang Yurong (66%), Zhao Yachian (34%).

The company will have over 60 million in liquid funds on its books.

In addition to renovating existing beauty salons, this money will also be used for expansion in surrounding cities.

Zhang Yurong had high ambitions for this.

Shaking hands firmly, Zhao Yachian tried her best to remain calm and said, "It's a pleasure to cooperate. I look forward to fruitful results in the future."

Zhang Yurong smiled lightly and said, "Director Zhao, let me show you your office. I personally arranged the decoration and layout. I don't know if you'll like it."

Hearing her address, Zhao Yachian's face flushed.

After her investment was successful, she finally got rid of her unemployed status again.

She will serve as a supervisor and chief beauty consultant for Yisha Beauty Industry.

Of course, she doesn't need to be involved in the company's management and development from start to finish; she just needs to have a title and authority.

Open the white office door.

The first thing that catches the eye is a huge floor-to-ceiling window, with off-white silk curtains swaying gently in the breeze.

A handmade rug is laid on the warm-colored solid wood floor.

Office desk, computer, sofa, coffee table, fresh flowers and plants...

The entire environment looks stylish and sophisticated, filled with a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

Sitting in her leather office chair, Zhao Yachian turned around and looked at her own office, her gaze slightly unfocused.

At that moment, she finally understood what Tang Song had told her before.

Owning your own business is not only a form of security.

It is also a form of social recognition and identity transformation.

In business activities or industry conferences, she will receive more respect and recognition.

If she wishes, she can also participate in the management of Yisha Beauty Industry.

After all, she used to be a beautician, so she has the most knowledge about the industry.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yachian took out her Mobile Phone and dialed Tang Song's number.

"Hey, Brother Song."

"Qianqian." Tang Song's voice came through the receiver, faint and soft.

Zhao Yachian didn't notice anything unusual and excitedly talked about signing the Investment Agreement that day.

Her tone was sweet and innocent, and her eyes were full of dreams.

After she finished speaking, Tang Song praised her, saying, "That's impressive! Keep up the good work!"

"Okay, then I won't bother you any longer, Brother Song. Bye-bye."

"Bye-Bye."

Just as she was about to hang up, Tang Song's deep voice came through the receiver again. "Beautician friend, I miss you."

Then, the call was disconnected.

Zhao Yachian was stunned for a moment, and the slow-witted girl finally noticed Tang Song's unusual behavior.

People from the Tang Song onwards were full of energy and spoke with ease and fluency.

This was the first time she had heard weariness and dejection in his tone.

Zhao Yachian suddenly felt a pang of pain in her heart.

What's wrong with him? He must be very unhappy right now.

Is there a problem at work? But there's nothing I can do to help.

Thinking of his last words, Zhao Yachian bit her lip hard and suddenly stood up from her seat.

As I walked out of the office, I saw Lin Mu Xue standing there chatting with Zhang Yurong.

Zhao Yachian approached the two women and said urgently, "Sister Yu Rong, I have to leave now because of something urgent. I'm sorry."

"Uh..." Zhang Yurong paused for a moment, "It's okay, you take care of your own business first."

Arriving at the elevator lobby.

Lin Mu Xue grabbed her arm and asked, "What's wrong Qianqian? What happened?"

"I want to go see Brother Song, I miss him."

"Now? Jing County?"

Zhao Yachian nodded vigorously, "Mm."

At this moment, the words of Tang Song kept echoing in her ears.

She probably can't help him much, nor can she solve any problems.

But since he misses her, she should appear before him.

This is something she can do immediately.

Hopefully, this will make him feel better.

Lin Mu Xue's eyes flickered for a moment, but she didn't say anything more. "I'll arrange a car for you and take you there directly."

The high-speed rail only goes as far as Quancheng. If you want to go to Jing County, driving is the most convenient option.

"Thank you." Zhao Yachian hesitated for a moment, then asked softly, "Xiao Xue, do you want to come with me? Brother Song seems to be in a bad mood, and I'm quite worried."

"I..." Lin Mu Xue pursed her lips, "I think I'll pass."

A few minutes later, the black Maybach van headed towards Jing County.

1 p. m.

Tang Song lay back on the bed in the bedroom, staring blankly at the ceiling.

After activating [Feather of Memory], many clear memories appeared in his mind.

After nearly a day of digestion, it has been basically absorbed.

However, the scenes involving Liu Qingning still lingered in his mind, haunting him and leaving him with mixed feelings.

Confusion, guilt, anxiety, self-blame...

He knew he was being sentimental; after all, he had several girlfriends and could never go back to being the innocent Tang Song he once was.

Not to mention Secretary Jin and Su Yu.

He also felt guilty towards the female characters in both games.

Su Yu, in particular, is quite pitiful, and she has already been deeply hurt by herself.

His appearance lifted her out of the trough, making her shine brightly, but also stealing her innocent and pure heart.

She grew up strictly according to the plan she set for herself.

With 100% effort, he became a top superstar, which also helped Tang Zong Entertainment become a leader in the industry.

Then he disappeared from her world, ignoring her completely for three whole years.

In the real world, he would be a complete scumbag with inescapable faults.

With a sigh, Tang Song sat up in bed and vigorously rubbed his face.

Just then, the Mobile Phone rang.

Upon answering the phone, Tang Song said in a low voice, "Hello, Qianqian."

Soon, Zhao Yachian's sweet and playful voice came through the receiver. "Brother Song, guess where I am?"

Tang Song paused, then quickly stood up. "You're here? Where are you now?"

"We've arrived in Jing County," Zhao Yachian said with a smile. "I've booked the Yunhao Hotel on Donghuan Road. You'll see me when you get there. Brother Song, I've missed you so much."

Hearing the beautician's words, Tang Song let out a long sigh of relief. "I'm coming right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Tang Song grabbed his car keys, told his parents, and strode outside.

Twenty minutes later.

A silver Mercedes-Benz S450L drove into the ground-level parking lot of the Yunhao Hotel.

After getting out of the car, Tang Song walked towards the hotel entrance while taking out his Mobile Phone and dialing the number of the beautician.

"Hey, Qianqian, I'm here. Where are you?"

"I'm by the fountain across from the main gate. You'll see me when you come over. I'm definitely the prettiest one."

"Wait for me!"

After walking a few steps through the parking lot, a tall and sexy figure came into his view.

The black, fitted haute couture gown clung smoothly to her graceful figure, outlining her beautiful curves.

Her long, wavy, wine-red hair fell naturally, and her fair, full, wine-glass-shaped legs gleamed.

The meticulously dressed beautician exuded a unique charm, attracting countless gazes from those around her, just like a model who stepped out of a fashion magazine cover.

Their eyes met, and Zhao Yachian smiled brightly.

"Clack clack clack," the high heels clicked on the bluestone slab.

Immediately afterwards, her fragrant and soft body appeared in his arms, and his lips were forcefully sealed with hers.

A hot breath filled his mouth.

The beautician displayed unprecedented initiative and enthusiasm, seemingly trying to melt his heart.

The fountain behind me danced to the rhythm of the music, and the misty water bloomed dreamily in the sunlight, colorful and vibrant.

Everything around me seemed to become blurry.

The flow of people unconsciously slowed down, and the men all looked at Tang Song with envy.

Because of the rush, Tang Song did not change his clothes.

He was wearing a regular T-shirt, shorts, and sneakers.

It does seem a bit mismatched when placed next to Zhao Yachian, who is dressed in exquisite fashion and accessories.

The two kissed for five or six minutes before finally separating.

Zhao Yachian took a few breaths, gently took his hand, and said in a sweet, innocent voice, "My programmer friend, are you any happier to see me?"

"Thank you, my beautician friend. I really didn't expect you to make a special trip over here." Tang Song gently stroked her fair face, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Whatever makes you happy, let's go to the hotel first, it's too hot outside."

On the road.

Zhao Yachian appeared unusually lively, talking to him non-stop.

"I'm learning to dance. When I've mastered it, will you show me?"

"Good."

"I also bought you several new outfits, which are in the walk-in closet of Yanjing Huating. Try them on when you get back; they'll definitely look great."

"Yes, I trust your judgment."

"I found a really delicious steakhouse, shall we go there together sometime?"

"OK."

The elevator slowly came to a stop on the 11th floor.

Zhao Yachian took out the room key from her bag and opened the door to room 1108.

The 50-square-meter luxury suite is exquisitely decorated and fully equipped.

"Click—" The door was gently closed.

Zhao Yachian casually tossed her bag aside, bent her legs slightly, and rested her head on his shoulder.

With a worried look in her eyes, she said, "Brother, are you alright? Although I may not be able to help you much, I will always be by your side. I will appear immediately whenever you need me."

Listening to the beautician's words, Tang Song's eyes welled up with tears.

After a moment of silence, he said softly, "I'm sorry, Qianqian. There are some things you understand, but I've never told you them. It's my fault. I've been subconsciously avoiding and evading the issue. Actually, besides you, I have other girlfriends."

As his first official girlfriend, he naturally had deep feelings for the beautician.

After what happened with Liu Qingning, he was also reflecting on himself.

I really should be more open about it.

Zhao Yachian softly hummed in agreement, then hugged him tightly and said, "Actually, I knew this before we were together; it was my own choice."

Brother Song, don't say sorry, I'm really happy right now.

Since we got together, you've given me so much, and I've grown a lot too.

I know exactly what I want now, and I'm so glad you came into my life.

Just then, a series of System Prompt Sound rang out.

"Ding! Congratulations, player! The fourth task of the [Partner - Zhao Yachian] Cultivation Plan Mission, [The Goldfinch's Metamorphosis], has been completed."

"[Partner - Zhao Yachian] Growth Progress +5%".

"[Partner - Zhao Yachian] Agility +2."

"[Partner - Zhao Yachian] received [Gift from Partner Tang Song *1]".

Tang Song was slightly taken aback, his gaze momentarily lost in thought.

Looking back at the beautician when we first met, she was a young girl who talked about getting paid and eating fried skewers every day.

They can cry on cue and laugh on cue.

Now she takes the initiative to learn, is aware of her own emotional changes, and has participated in the research and financing of Yisha Beauty Industry from beginning to end.

She has really matured a lot and is gradually transforming.

More importantly, she is very happy.

Thinking of this, Tang Song smiled with relief, his mind instantly clear.

yes.

Whether it's for a beautician or for White Moonlight idealized romantic partner).

His greatest desire and satisfaction is to participate in and change their lives, and to bring them happiness.

Instead of wasting time here, we should go straight to Shencheng and face everything head-on.

Anyway, I can't escape my White Moonlight in this lifetime, so the next step is to find a way to make her happy.

The dark clouds that had been swirling in his mind were cleared away, Tang Song felt refreshed.

Open the System Interface and go to the [Partner] module.

In the very center of the character card for [Zhao Yachian], a pink prop is floating.

[Gift from Partner Tang Song *1]: Partner interaction item. After use, Partner Zhao Yachian will receive a gift from "Tang Song" in the game, gaining a special talent suitable for her, including (music, painting, dance, language, sports, etc.).

Select the item and use it immediately.

"Ding! [Partner - Zhao Yachian] has been granted the talent [Dance]."

Immediately following, a halo of light flowed across Zhao Yachian's character portrait.

An anime-style beautician appears on the screen and begins to dance gracefully.

She has a sexy and alluring figure, and her beauty is unparalleled.

It was filled with an indescribable allure.

Tang Song felt his blood boil as he read it.

Noticing her boyfriend's change, Zhao Yachian's body went limp, and she began to kiss Tang Song.

The zipper of the dress was opened.

Zhao Yachian's eyes welled up with tears, and she murmured sweet nothings.

Immediately afterwards, the stem of the wine glass was exposed to the air.

The two figures intertwined.

Feeling an unprecedented surge of impulse and possessiveness in Tang Song, Zhao Yachian was deeply moved.

In her dazed state, she leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Brother, Xiao Xue is here too, and she's in the next room. Shall I call her over?"

Upon hearing the beautician's words, Tang Song's breathing quickened. "Isn't this... not a good idea?"

They were just saying sorry, and now they want to play this kind of game again.

Doesn't Tang Song have any pride?

"Let me make the call." Tang Song released the beautician, took out his Mobile Phone from his pocket, and dialed the number directly.

"Dudu beep beep—" The phone rang a few times before being answered.

"Hello, Chairman Tang."

"Xiao Xue, come to room 1108."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

After a short while, there was a knock on the door.

Accompanying this was Lin Mu Xue's elegant and intellectual voice, "Chairman Tang, it's me."

Tang Song took a deep breath and walked to the door.

"Squeak—" The door was gently pulled open.

Lin Mu Xue appeared at the door, dressed in a summer business suit, with an upright posture and exquisite makeup.

Black cropped trousers accentuated her slender, straight legs.

Enter the room.

Upon seeing Zhao Yachian's disheveled appearance, Lin Mu Xue's face immediately flushed, and she clasped her hands together in front of her.

"Chairman Tang, is there anything I can do for you?"

Calling me over at a time like this, are you trying to get me to buy condoms?

Sigh, life is Xiao Xue.

There's nothing I can do; I'm just an assistant!

Just then, a warm hand suddenly grasped her waist.

Tang Song's voice rang in her ears. "Xiao Xue, Qianqian wants to ask for outside help. Are you willing to help?"

"Ah!" Lin Mu Xue exclaimed, her eyes trembling violently.

I originally came here hoping to get a substitute spot, but it turns out I'm going to be playing right away?

What... what should we do?!

After a while, Lin Mu Xue stammered, "Um, I... I..."

Tang Song gently applied pressure with his large hand and leaned down to kiss her beautiful face.

Lin Mu Xue brushed a strand of long hair from her temple and said in a trembling voice, "I'm going to the restroom."

It's working hours now, so I can only follow my supervisor's instructions.

But you absolutely must not draw a map!

This is my bottom line!
