Van Cleef & Arpels concept store, jewelry technology appreciation event.

The dazzling lights and neon lights outside the store complement each other, creating a dreamy and luxurious atmosphere.

Inside the exhibition hall, a necklace inlaid with gemstones gleamed under the lights.

"This necklace utilizes our brand's signature invisible setting technique, with gemstones closely arranged without any trace of metal setting, showcasing an exquisite interplay of light and shadow..."

Anna, a jewelry consultant from headquarters, dressed in a well-tailored uniform, Wei Xiao and spoke softly as she introduced the details of the exhibits.

"Ms. Zhao, if you are interested in this piece, I can take it out for you to admire closely." Anna bowed slightly, her tone respectful and gentle.

"No need, thank you." Zhao Yachian politely shook her head, a bright smile on her face.

Her gaze wandered through the exhibition hall, her expression a mixture of curiosity and appreciation.

Anna nodded slightly, her gaze remaining professional and gentle, and followed closely behind her.

Zhao Yachian seemed to have gotten used to this and continued to stroll through the exhibition hall, experiencing the unique charm of this high-profile jewelry exhibition.

This jewelry exhibition held by Van Cleef & Arpels in Yancheng is of an extremely high standard, limited to VCA Heritage Club members only, and requires a minimum annual spending of 800,000 yuan.

She certainly doesn't meet that standard yet.

However, with the support of Juqing Huijin, everything is not a problem.

Not only was she able to bring her best friend Lin Mu Xue along, but she was also able to enjoy the highest level of treatment.

Participating in such activities is not only to improve her social etiquette and artistic appreciation, but also to help her gradually integrate into higher-level social circles.

"Qianqian." A gentle and clear voice came from behind.

Zhao Yachian turned around and saw Lin Mu Xue waving at her while holding a champagne glass.

She nodded slightly to Anna, then turned and walked towards Lin Mu Xue.

Unlike her.

Xiao Xue is extremely fond of socializing and expressing herself. From the moment she entered the Van Cleef & Arpels concept store, she felt right at home. In addition to taking photos and checking in, she also took the initiative to chat and laugh with jewelry experts and fashion celebrities.

She was actually quite envious, but due to her personality, she could never be as natural as Xiao Xue.

"Come on, Qianqian, let me introduce you to a new friend." Lin Mu Xue put down her champagne, affectionately took Zhao Yachian's arm, and gestured to a striking short-haired girl opposite her, "This is Qin Hua, Miss Qin. This is my best friend, Zhao Yachian, the supervisor and shareholder of Yisha Beauty Industry."

Zhao Yachian smiled slightly and extended her right hand, "Hello, Miss Qin."

"Hello, Qianqian, it's nice to meet you."

Qin Hua politely shook her hand, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Lin Mu Xue added, "Miss Qin is also a member of Yi Sha Beauty Salon, and a diamond member at that."

Zhao Yachian smiled and said sincerely, "Thank you, Ms. Qin, for your support of Yisha Beauty Industry."

Qin Hua smiled and exchanged pleasantries while subtly observing Zhao Yachian.

My first impression was that he was "very tall," nearly 180 centimeters tall without clothes, and he looked like a professional model.

She has a striking appearance, but her eyes still have a touch of childishness, making her look no more than 20 years old.

Of course, what intrigued her even more was the other person's identity.

Yisha Beauty Industry is a well-known local chain of beauty salons that recently completed financing and is expanding into Light Medical Beauty Project.

Zhao Yachian's becoming a shareholder of Yisha Beauty Industry at such a young age clearly indicates that she has considerable influence.

Despite being a local Second-Generation Rich and having been in the entertainment circle for so long, Qin Hua had never heard of her name.

They are either outsiders or... carefully cultivated "Canary" by certain people.

The three of them gathered together and talked about luxury goods and jewelry craftsmanship.

Zhao Yachian tried her best to blend in, maintaining good manners and speech.

In the midst of their conversation, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration, her mind cleared, and she couldn't help but murmur aloud.

I felt incredibly light and comfortable, as if I had just finished a bath and had a full-body spa treatment.

"What's wrong, Qianqian?" Lin Mu Xue noticed her unusual behavior and asked with concern.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Zhao Yachian smiled slightly, concealing her inner turmoil.

Just then, Qin Hua's Mobile Phone rang.

She opened her bag, glanced at the incoming call, and immediately answered, "Hey, Xiao Jing, why are you calling me all of a sudden?"

"Yes, I'm in the venue. I just finished the experience session."

"OK, OK, I'll buy it for you." Qin Hua said sourly, "You didn't even mention getting me a gift, you're just thinking about your boyfriend, aren't you?"

"Okay, that's all for now. I'll talk to the marketing consultant later."

"Okay, bye-bye."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Hua explained helplessly, "My best friend from childhood knew I was attending the Van Cleef & Arpels exhibition and asked me to buy her a new ring so she could give it to her boyfriend. She's hopelessly in love."

Lin Mu Xue smiled and casually echoed her sentiments.

Upon hearing the words "gift for boyfriend," Zhao Yachian's interest was instantly piqued. The image of Tang Song's slender fingers flashed through her mind, and she thought that gifting him a ring would be very fitting and meaningful.

So, he took the initiative to ask Qin Hua which ring she had and suggested that they go and see the actual product together.

Ultimately, the two of them bought the platinum gold ring at the same time.

Bright lights illuminated the quiet street.

As the tires rolled over the asphalt road, the jet-black Audi RS6 slowly drove into the Shengyuan Jiajing complex and stopped in front of Building 6.

"Zhuangzhuang, we're home."

Wen Ruan stretched lazily, got out of the car, tidied the hair around her mouth, and the blush on her face had not completely faded.

This was also her first time experiencing this kind of outdoor play, and she actually felt even more nervous and excited than Tang Song.

The whole process wasn't long, but it really exhausted her; her legs are still weak.

She glanced at Tang Song in front of her, then opened her arms and hugged his neck, saying coquettishly, "Carry me inside. It's all your fault for changing gears so often while driving; I have no strength left."

"Let's go." Tang Song lowered his head and kissed her, then used his arms to lift Wen Ruan up by the waist and strode into the villa.

"You monster, how can your physical abilities be so abnormal?" Wen Ruan muttered Wen Ruan, resting her head against his chest and listening to his heartbeat.

Actually, she didn't care much about Xie Shuyu. Her behavior of acting a little excited in front of Tang Song today was more to make him feel ashamed and to make him pamper her more.

She was a smart woman who knew how to win her lover's heart.

Back in the master bedroom, I first put Wen Ruan on the bed to rest.

Tang Song went straight to the bathroom and filled the bathtub with water.

Turn on the massage function, lie down comfortably, and your whole body will quickly relax.

"Whoosh!" The System Interface unfolded before our eyes.

First, check your personal information.

[Player: Tang Song (74' Charm)]

[Character: President of Songmei Clothing]

Height: 184cm, Weight: 80kg

[Constitution: 74, Endurance: 78, Agility: 69, Comprehension: 83]

[Asset Status:]

Balance: RMB 103 million (RMB 504.5 million of Investment Capital)

With the blessings of my beautician friend, my charm has successfully reached 74, and my stamina has reached 78 points.

Enter the [Partner] module.

Two eye-catching notifications immediately popped up.

Based on current system permissions and Partner progress, the "Partner" module has been updated.

You have obtained 2 new Partner slots.

As he had guessed, two more spots were added.

Originally, charm should increase more and more slowly after the age of 70.

However, because Wen Ruan and Zhao Yachian's growth rates reached 60% one after the other, he suddenly gained 2 more points of charm.

This also made him realize more clearly the importance of his Partner.

They are being more cautious in choosing the next candidate.

[List of available Partner:]

[Lin Mu Xue] [Progress: Couple, In-depth Fluid Exchange] [Buffs: Eye Enhancement, High Spirits, Posture Optimization, Expression Management]

[Xu Qing] [Progress: Couple, In-depth fluid exchange] [Buffs: Inspiration Surge, Acting Enhancement, Expanded Thinking, Abundant Energy]

In addition, the list of potential Partner includes: Liu Qingning, Tian Jing, Gao Mengting, Xie Shuyu, and Su Yu.

They were all women he had interacted with.

Partner's growth will in turn boost their Charm Value and attribute values.

Following this logic, Xie Shuyu and Liu Qingning are actually the best choices.

One is Female President has grown up, rational and sharp, mature and steady, and knowledgeable.

The other is a typical academic high-achiever who now works at Qingning Technology. He has access to a high level of knowledge and has extremely high overall qualities.

These two individuals can qualify with proper training from the system, and then new slots will be unlocked.

Unfortunately, their progress is not yet complete.

He didn't want to force or distort the relationship between Liu Qingning, his White Moonlight, because of their complicated past.

Xie Shuyu is in a better position; at least she doesn't have any emotional entanglements. With her progress at a normal pace and her dedication, things should fall into place naturally before long.

Besides, Lin Mu Xue is also a good choice.

Under his tutelage, Xiao Xue is now the General Assistant of Confluent Capital, and her personal qualities have improved dramatically. She is no longer the Fake Socialite she once was.

Its growth rate should also be quite high.

What makes Tang Song hesitate is that, due to the item [Whispers of Human Nature], Xiao Xue herself has the special attribute of triggering quests, and she can pull off big surprises from time to time.

As for Xu Qing, her growth rate is definitely the lowest.

Given Tang Song's current capabilities and status, we could actually cultivate her ourselves, gradually handing over the short drama business and film and television base to her, and then binding her with more slots later.

This allows you to maximize the use of the "Partner" mechanism and enhance your charm.

After thinking for a long time, Tang Song ultimately decided not to make a hasty decision.

Let's wait until Xiao Xue completes the "Experience Humanity" task, and then check on the progress of Liu Qingning and Xie Shuyu.

Tang Song quickly pulled his wandering thoughts back and focused his attention on the [Partner] module.

In the very center of the character card for [Zhao Yachian], a golden gift bag floats quietly.

Select the [Goldfinch's Item Pack] and open it immediately.

"Ding! [Partner - Zhao Yachian] has obtained the item reward [Phantom Fragrance]."

[Phantom Fragrance]: A magical perfume that, after use, will gradually blend naturally with Zhao Yachian's body odor over a period of time, optimizing pheromone secretion and emitting a unique and pleasant body fragrance.

[Note: The body odor will subtly change according to the user's emotional state, helping Zhao Yachian to socialize better and please her Partner.]

These are very unique props that can actually make beauticians smell naturally!

Moreover, it can change with one's emotional state.

Besides being a social tool, this is simply a game-changing marvel, greatly enhancing the enjoyment of playing ball.

If Xiao Xue were to join in playing multiplayer basketball, one of them would be emitting fragrance while the other draws maps; he couldn't even imagine how exciting that would be.

After daydreaming for a while, Tang Song licked his lips, clicked on the character portrait card, and checked the Partner details.

Partner: Zhao Yachian (19 years old)

[Character: Canary (Yisha Beauty Industry - Supervisor)]

Height: 180cm, Weight: 64kg

Constitution: 69, Endurance: 70, Agility: 60, Comprehension: 60

[Growth Progress: 65%]

[Cultivation Plan Mission 6: The Canary's Soaring]

[Task Description: After initial growth and transformation, Zhao Yachian has gradually matured from a dependent "Canary" into an individual with independent career and self-awareness. She now possesses a stable source of income, a comfortable living environment, a preliminary career foundation, and a positive personal image. Please help Zhao Yachian strengthen her self-awareness and confidence, clarify her inner thoughts, and achieve self-actualization in both her personal life and career.]

[Mission Reward: Growth Progress 20%, Comprehension +2, Canary's Glory Gift Pack *1]

[Mission Progress: Incomplete]

[Note 1: Since "Partner - Zhao Yachian" has exceeded 60% Growth Progress, her personal information has been notified to other game characters.]

[Note 2: The Canary soaring through the sky will encounter various forms of covetousness and malice. Players are advised to give their Partner more care and love.]

Congratulations! All four basic attributes are up to standard, which is already better than most ordinary people.

[Cultivation Plan Mission ⑥] It can actually increase the Growth Progress by 20% at once.

However, this also proves the difficulty of this task.

The 19-year-old beautician has grown considerably, but is still not mature enough.

They don't really have a clear understanding of themselves or the future.

She has been diligently climbing upwards according to her own plan.

It's actually quite difficult for her to achieve self-worth enhancement now.

However, this is also an inevitable path for her.

I hope my beautician friend will have a better and better life!

8:50 p. m.

The Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry appreciation event has come to a successful conclusion.

Under the guidance of staff, the guests left the venue one after another.

Zhao Yachian put on her shawl and coat, picked up her Hermès Birkin, and walked towards the elevator with Lin Mu Xue.

On the way, I saw Qin Hua waiting at the elevator again.

Lin Mu Xue said in a low voice, "I asked a friend before, and Qin Hua is a well-known Second-Generation Rich in Yancheng. She is currently the administrative director in the President's Office Zhongcheng Group."

Next, Lin Mu Xue explained the situation of Zhongcheng Group.

Founded in 1998, the company has three major business segments: food and beverage, textiles, and real estate, with more than 3,000 employees.

Although the company's business has shrunk due to the downturn in the real estate market, it still has a very large influence in the province.

Qin Hua's father is a shareholder of Zhongcheng Group.

You could say she's a very typical local high-class Bai Fumei.

She is several levels better than Lin Mu Xue's previous friends, Li Yu Jiao and Zhang Xi.

This is why she took the initiative to contact the other party and introduced him to Zhao Yachian.

The two walked into the elevator while talking.

Lin Mu Xue smiled elegantly and said, "Hello Qin Hua, we meet again."

"Mu Xue, Qianqian." Qin Hua greeted the two politely.

The three chatted as they took the elevator directly to B2.

Zhao Yachian said enthusiastically, "By the way, Qin Hua, next time you go to Yi Sha Beauty Salon, you can let me know, and I'll recommend some treatments for you."

"Qianqian." Qin Hua nodded with a smile.

The three of them had just stepped out of the elevator.

A figure strode over and greeted them with a clear voice, "Manager Qin!"

Zhao Yachian and Lin Mu Xue looked up and saw a boy who looked about 25 or 26 years old.

Tall and slender, with handsome features and a bright smile, he wore a stylish casual outfit and had a clean and refreshing demeanor, much like a flower boy in a Korean drama.

Qin Hua calmly nodded to the boy and simply introduced him, "This is my colleague Gao Junfeng, who came to pick me up."

Hello.

"Good evening, ladies." Gao Junfeng glanced at Lin Mu Xue and Zhao Yachian without making a sound, his heart starting to race.

Both of them are exceptionally outstanding in terms of appearance, figure, fashion sense, and overall style.

She is much more eye-catching than Qin Hua, who is Bai Fumei.

Especially the woman in the casual suit, who had an aura of unattainable beauty that filled people with awe and a desire to conquer.

Qin Hua raised her wrist to check the time and smiled, "Mu Xue, Qianqian, I'll be going now. Let's meet up again sometime. Bye-bye."

"Bye-bye."

After saying goodbye, Qin Hua followed Gao Junfeng a few steps forward and came to a light purple Bentley Continental.

Gao Junfeng first helped her open the passenger seat before getting into the driver's seat himself.

Soon, the engine roared to life, and the car slowly started moving.

The car was filled with a fragrant aroma.

Gao Junfeng drove the car carefully and said in a low voice, "Manager Qin, I've already handled the traffic accident with the insurance company. Next is the repair work; because of the scratches, the entire rear fender needs to be replaced."

Qin Hua leaned back in the passenger seat, replying to WeChat messages as she said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"And your car..."

"You can keep it running for now, just return it to me after it's fixed."

"Okay, no problem!" Gao Junfeng's eyes lit up instantly.

As the assistant to Vice President Su Ping, he was assigned to the Administrative Management Department.

Responsible for providing daily support to the group's senior management, including scheduling, meeting organization, and document processing for the president and vice presidents.

Qin Hua is the head of the Administrative Management Department of the CEO Office of Zhongcheng Group, which is considered his direct supervisor.

After learning that Qin Hua's father was Qin Dechang, a shareholder of the company, he set his sights on this top-tier Bai Fumei.

They frequently take the initiative to approach and please the other party.

With a postgraduate degree, the position of assistant vice president, and his outstanding appearance, he had 100% confidence in himself.

In fact, it was precisely because of these qualities that he became Qin Hua's closest colleague in the company.

For example, after an accident, she immediately calls on me to handle it, and now she lets me take her car to be repaired and I can drive it freely.

Isn't this a sign that he has Good impression for her?

Qin Hua put away her Mobile Phone and suddenly asked, "By the way, Junfeng, President Su still handling the [Zhongyun Dairy] matter? Any new developments?"

Gao Junfeng quickly replied, "Yes, the online public opinion is in a lot of turmoil right now, and President Su Director Tian are both quite overwhelmed."

"Hopefully it can be resolved smoothly..." Qin Hua pursed her lips, her eyes flickering.

The food and beverage sector accounts for 60% of the group's revenue, with Zhongyun Dairy being the core of this sector.

Antibiotic residues were detected in a batch of fresh milk, and it was also discovered that the Baocheng Factory had falsified water quality test reports and that assembly line workers had not followed disinfection procedures.

This has attracted widespread attention from the public and has severely damaged the group's reputation.

Su Ping, who was in charge of the food and beverage sector, naturally had to take responsibility.

As the company's Executive Director, Tian Chengye was also implicated, and the group is currently in a state of chaos.

In addition, I heard that a New Energy technology company invested in by Tian Chengye also encountered major problems due to the failure of its technical approach.

My best friend Xiao Jing is really carefree; she doesn't care about anything at home.

You have to understand, she is Tian Chengye's only daughter, and all the money lost is hers!

What's more, she also has an ambitious cousin, Tian Guowen, who is also eyeing their family fortune.

Given Xiao Jing's attitude and situation, something bad is bound to happen sooner or later.

She has tried to persuade him many times, but it's no use at all.

She even has the mind to buy gifts for her boyfriend now.

Love-struck people are terrifying!

Bright lights swept across the street as a matte gray Porsche 911 slowly drove along the road.

"How's it going, Xiao Xue? My driving skills are pretty good now, right?" Zhao Yachian stared intently ahead, her body almost pressed against the steering wheel.

"It's fine, just a little nervous."

"After all, this is your beloved car, so I have to be careful!"

Lin Mu Xue covered her mouth and chuckled, "So when are you planning to buy a car? With so much savings now, you're practically a little rich woman."

"Hehe." Zhao Yachian smiled shyly, her tone sweet and innocent, "They were all given to me by Brother Song."

"Speaking of which, Tang Song's driving skills are getting better and better. He really gave me a hard time last time. Qianqian, tell me the truth, do you two ever secretly practice together from time to time? What positions have you used? Let's discuss it."

"I won't tell you, it's a secret."

When the topic turned to the Tang Song, the atmosphere in the carriage immediately became cheerful.

As the car passed through an old-fashioned neighborhood, Lin Mu Xue suddenly rubbed her stomach and laughed, "We were so busy chatting that we didn't eat much. How about we go get some barbecue?"

"Great! I'm still hungry!" Zhao Yachian's eyes lit up. "The same place as last time, right?"

"Okay, I'll give you directions, it's right next to you."

A few minutes later.

The Porsche 911 stopped in a parking space on the side of the road.

As I stepped out of the car, the rich aroma of barbecue wafted towards me.

The owner's shouts mingled with the rising smoke from the grill.

"Good evening, boss."

"Xiao Xue, you're here? Come sit over here, what would you like to eat?"

"Give me ten skewers of lamb, extra spicy, and ten more skewers of beef..."

And so, the two "Bai Fumei" women dressed in luxury goods sat down at the stall.

Enjoying the cool evening breeze, chatting, eating skewers, and drinking soda.

This attracted the attention of many people around.

Some people even took out their Mobile Phone, filmed the scene, gave it an exaggerated title, and shared it on the Internet Plus.

"Buzz buzz buzz—" Zhao Yachian's Mobile Phone, which was on the table, vibrated.

[Shangguan Qiuya: "Ms. Zhao, you've had your Driver's License for a while now. Do you have a car you like?"]

Upon seeing this message, Zhao Yachian's eyes widened slightly.

Shangguan Qiuya is the assistant of the "Smiling Sister" and the original owner of this house.

The reason I suddenly asked myself this question must be because [Wei Xiao] is going to give me a car.

What is she trying to do?

The thought of meeting him before the Mid-Autumn Festival made Zhao Yachian's heart race again.

Lin Mu Xue asked with concern, "What's wrong Qianqian?"

Looking at Xiao Xue across from her, Zhao Yachian thought for a moment and whispered, "Xiao Xue, have you ever considered that Brother Song might have a Official Girlfriend?"

Hearing this, Lin Mu Xue's heart skipped a beat. "You... you know?"

Zhao Yachian said blankly, "Uh... so you knew too?"

"Well, I used to work at Juqing Huijin, so I vaguely know there's such a person, but I'm not quite sure." Lin Mu Xue bit her lip, still not revealing Su Yu's matter.

Although she loves her beautician friend, she loves Tang Song even more.

As his assistant, she would never reveal any secrets without Tang Song's permission.

She had never told the beautician about Wen Ruan, Xu Qing, or others.

Not to mention Su Yu.

Zhao Yachian breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much calmer. She said, "Xiao Xue, that woman will be coming to Yancheng to see me before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Shall we go see her together then?"

"Ah! This..." Lin Mu Xue exclaimed in surprise and quickly covered her mouth.

Good heavens!

Heavenly Emperor Su is coming to Yancheng?!

After a moment, I looked at my beautician friend, who looked so pitiful.

"What's there to be afraid of!"

The glass bottle made a clear sound as it collided with the table, and bubbles surged wildly in the amber liquid.

Lin Mu Xue gritted her teeth, stomped her foot, and fiercely raised the glass bottle. "No problem, I'll handle her for you!"

Xiao Xue is already a true financial elite and Tang Song's personal assistant. What kind of big scene hasn't she seen?
