Eat on Time

January 1, 2017, Yancheng.

Yan City University of Science and Technology.

Tang Song had just returned to his dormitory when he noticed the unusually excited atmosphere inside.

Several roommates sat around the computer, their eyes wide open, breathing rapidly.

Even Li Zhixi, who was engrossed in Honor of Kings, joined them, exchanging trash talk with his teammates while glancing at the monitor.

Out of curiosity, Tang Song took a few steps closer and his gaze immediately fell on the portrait photos on Luo Qiliang's computer screen.

For a moment, his breath hitched slightly.

What comes into view is a breathtakingly beautiful face.

Her features were exquisitely beautiful, and her eyes exuded a cool and refined air, as if she were untouched by worldly affairs.

She was wearing a loose white shirt that reached her thighs, revealing her slender and long legs, paired with a pair of barely visible black stockings. She was leaning against a vintage wooden bookshelf, holding a heavy book in her hands.

This unique outfit, a blend of tranquility and sexiness, combined with that cool and aloof expression, creates a breathtaking contrast.

A collective gasp and swallowing filled the dormitory, the air thick with an indescribable hormonal atmosphere.

Tang Song's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously asked in a low voice, "Who is this? She's so beautiful."

"Holy crap, Old Song, you're so closed-minded!" Lu Kai was the first to react, turning to stare at him like he was an alien. "You don't even know Su Yu from the Echo Girl Group? She's been super popular this past year!"

"Yeah, she's been trending on social media several times just because of her looks. How could I not have seen her face before?"

"Don't even mention it. Old Song is usually Shenron, always out working and never reading entertainment news. He might not even know Su Yu."

Tang Song felt a sense of relief and quickly searched his memory for information about the "Echo Girl Group".

He vaguely remembered that Qing Ning had mentioned them on QQ, saying that one of their songs was very nice and that she had even shared it with him.

At the time, he just listened to the melody casually and didn't pay attention to the appearance of the girl group members.

Unexpectedly, this captain is so stunning; not only is her appearance incredible, but her figure is also practically perfect.

Tang Song couldn't help but glance at the screen a few more times, a subtle feeling rising in his heart.

Luo Qiliang said with some concern, "My goddess actually took these sexy photos; the style change is too drastic. Could it be that her management company is trying to stir up trouble?"

"I think I've heard about it too. There's a conflict within the Echo Girl Group. There are rumors that Su Yu bullying the other members. After all, the girl group has been around for 3 years, and the other members have changed several times, but she's remained unmoved."

"What nonsense are you spouting! My goddess is so outstanding, she's the face of the company, who would dare touch her?"

The discussion in the dormitory remained lively.

Tang Song stared at other beautiful pictures for a while before lying back down on his bed.

His gaze gradually became unfocused, then sharpened again.

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

A character card shimmering with orange light appeared in the center of the field of vision.

[Ouyang Xuanyue (SSR)]

[Status: Disturbed]

Location: Shencheng New Kaihang Industrial Park

Special Skills: None

Age: 29, Height: 167 cm, Weight: 56 kg

Overall Rating: 88.8 Excellent (Can be improved)

[Character Background Story: Born in 1988 into a prominent family in the Imperial Capital, possessing deep political resources and connections; maternal grandfather was...]

My grandfather was an academician of both the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering (a leading figure in the field of high-energy physics); my father graduated from the Precision Instrumentation Department at Tsinghua University and holds an MBA from MIT Sloan Business School.

(Full Scholarship) —

Tang Song carefully read through the card information, his eyes sparkling with a bright light.

Another rare SSR character! And the "backer" he desperately needs.

Although he and Secretary Jin Kim have amassed a huge fortune thanks to their foresight, a large number of system items, and the support of Annie Kate, these are ultimately just numbers games and not solid enough.

Manufacturing is their foundation, and serving the country through industry is the best choice for them.

Today, Huaxia is undergoing the largest industrialization in human history.

This is the foundation for the great rejuvenation of the Zhonghua.

The abundance of job opportunities, the advancement of Huaxia's industrial development, and the breakthroughs in technology not only help him avoid external pressures but also allow him to realize his self-worth.

For example, their development at home and abroad is subject to many constraints, and Ouyang Xuanyue is the best person to solve these problems.

She took over Shencheng's Xinkaihang Electronics six months ago.

This is a once-glorious company that is now heavily indebted, facing difficulties due to outdated technology, Capital Chain, and intensified market competition.

Even though she tried her best to mobilize resources to save the factory, problems such as factory shutdowns, employee unrest, and a sharp decline in customer orders continued to come like a tidal wave, almost driving her to the brink of despair.

Saving this company would require massive amounts of funding and strong technical support.

And Tang Song was able to do all of these things. Another regrettable thing was that, shortly after she took over the company, her newlywed husband tragically passed away in an accident.

At this moment, Ouyang Xuanyue is experiencing a double blow to her career and love life, leaving her physically and mentally exhausted.

Under normal circumstances, given Tang Song's current status, even if he personally visited her, it would be difficult to gain her complete trust.

Fortunately, he has the [Dream System].

Although he doesn't have a passive Dream Connection interface like the UR character Secretary Jin, he can establish a connection with them through dreams during the recruitment process.

It leaves behind initial Good impression and loyalty.

To pave the way for real-world contact.

As night deepened, Tang Song quietly awaited Ouyang Xuanyue's arrival in his dreams.

However, it was clear that the other person was suffering from severe insomnia due to excessive worry.

Tang Song simply opened his Mobile Phone and for some reason thought of the photo album he had seen before.

I couldn't resist downloading Weibo, searching for "Su Yu," and starting to browse her beautiful pictures.

At 2:00 AM, the System Notification that Ouyang Xuanyue had finally fallen asleep.

Tang Song then put away his Mobile Phone and closed his eyes.

In his dream, he finally met the future "Precision Queen".

Approaching 30, she has medium-length hair, excellent bone structure, and fair skin.

She possesses both the elegance of a young lady from a prominent family and the shrewdness of an emerging entrepreneur.

Like a scalpel wrapped in velvet, beautiful and precise.

In the dreamlike room, Ouyang Xuanyue, filled with exhaustion and sorrow, seemed to confide in him.

The two talked for a long time, from her family background to the current predicament of her company, and then to the unhappiness in her personal life.

Throughout Tang Song remained rational and composed, offering comfort and advice with apt words.

After a week of dream interactions, the character [Ouyang Xuanyue]'s Good impression rating has finally reached the required level.

Tang Song have officially completed the character recruitment and started the character development mission for the [Precision Queen].

With the final exams over, Yan City University of Science and Technology has begun its 40-day winter break.

Tang Song first went back to his hometown for a few days to see his Youthful Appearance and Immense Cuteness White Moonlight. After saying goodbye to his parents under the pretext of working, he set off for Shencheng.

This winter break, he will devote himself entirely to this electronics technology company, laying an incredibly solid foundation for his future.

As expected, Tang Song "encountered" Ouyang Xuanyue, based on the location information on the character card.

She was wearing a well-tailored gray business suit, with silver-rimmed glasses perched on her upturned nose and Patek Philippe classic watch on her wrist.

Under special circumstances, Tang Song were very rational and composed, without any unnecessary emotional expression.

The two had a very pleasant conversation during their first meeting.

Subsequently, Tang Song provided a detailed plan.

This plan not only analyzes the current problems of Xinkaihang, but also proposes specific solutions, including key steps such as capital restructuring, technology upgrading, and international expansion.

Each suggestion hits the nail on the head, demonstrating his profound understanding of the industry and capital.

Ouyang Xuanyue took an instant liking to him and regarded him as a close friend.

Subsequently, the capital institutions under Tang Song's control began to enter the market one after another, Xinkaihang was officially renamed "Tang Yi Precision".

January 27th, Lunar New Year's Eve.

Tang Song returned to Jing County once again.

Fine snowflakes drifted in the sky, like countless light feathers, slowly swirling and falling in the cold wind.

The air was filled with the faint smell of firecrackers and cooking smoke.

Because of the inconvenient transportation in the village, the taxi stopped at the intersection of the small road.

Tang Song paid the fare, picked up his suitcase, stepped onto the snow-covered path, and strode towards home.

He was wearing a thick down jacket, and soothing music was playing in his headphones.

He was still pondering the final step in the restructuring of Tang Yi Precision's capital, the key directions for technological research and development, and the specific strategies for international market expansion.

As he approached his doorstep, he keenly sensed that someone was watching him.

Turning my head, I saw a girl wearing a red cotton-padded jacket and a white sweater.

She immediately turned her back to him, her figure slender, her short hair slightly sticking up, her shoulders a little stiff, as if she was hesitating whether to leave.

Tang Song, in a dream state, didn't pay much attention; his brain was still working at high speed.

He calmly walked past her, took off his headphones when he reached the front door, and stepped onto the stairs.

The feeling of being watched resurfaced, and when he turned around, he saw that the girl was also turning around and looking at him.

The snowflakes continued to drift and sway, gently landing on her red cotton coat, the collar of her white sweater, and her chestnut-colored short hair.

She stood on the muddy road, her cheeks flushed from the cold, but her eyes revealed a mixture of shyness and disappointment.

Looking at that familiar face, a long-forgotten name finally surfaced in Tang Song's mind.

Zhang Yan.

As far as I can remember, it seems like it's been almost a year since I last saw her.

Compared to her past self, she is now more "fashionable" and not as old-fashioned as before.

She was wearing a brand-new, brightly colored cotton coat, and looked clean, neat, and elegant.

He still exudes a strong student vibe.

Their eyes met, and her lips moved slightly. Her breath turned into puffs of white mist in the cold air, which were then dispersed by the wind.

If it were a normal Tang Song or Song dynasty, they would probably go up and greet the other person, asking about their recent situation.

After all, they were once deskmates and would occasionally run into each other in high school.

However, in his dream state, he subconsciously treated her as unimportant information.

He smiled and nodded at her, then quickly walked into the house.

This insignificant little incident did not stir any emotion in his heart, nor did it linger in his memory for long.

During the Spring Festival, everything in my hometown was filled with warmth and joy.

White Moonlight rode the family's newly bought electric bike to the small town to find him, and took him around the county town.

KTV, park, cinema, bookstore—they strolled along the frozen river, the snow crunching under their feet.

The White Moonlight wore fluffy earmuffs, her face was red from the cold, but her smile was exceptionally bright.

She would take Tang Song's hand and tell him about the new friends she made in her first semester of college, her tone cheerful and lively.

She would also encourage him to study hard so that they could make a lot of money together in the Imperial Capital in the future.

Her eyes were filled with longing and anticipation for the future.

Of course, there's also him.

In the days that followed.

Secretary Jin introduced some advanced technologies and equipment to Tang Yi Precision through the Kate Family and facilitated cooperation with some European and American companies.

At the same time, Ouyang Xuanyue fully utilized his leadership skills to lead the team out of the predicament step by step.

Tang Yi Precision has shifted from the traditional OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) model to ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) and is gradually moving towards independent research and development.

With his foresight, Tang Song guided Tangyi in developing a series of innovative consumer electronics products, which, thanks to their superior design and performance,

It quickly won the favor of consumers.

Everything is gradually getting back on track.

April 1, 2017, April Fool's Day.

Yi Yi knocking sound rang out on the door.

"Please come in!"

Shortly after the knocking, Secretary Jin pushed open the office door and strode in.

She was dressed in a business suit and had her hair styled in a smooth low ponytail, which illuminated the entire office.

"Mr. Tang, you called me? Is there something urgent?"

Tang Song raised his head and said calmly, "Secretary Jin, your stockings look beautiful today."

Secretary Jin Wei Xiao and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

The office fell silent.

Secretary Jin couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Tang, is there anything else?"

"Your makeup looks beautiful today too."

"So?" Secretary Jin, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"That's all, I just wanted to praise you in person."

Secretary Jin took a deep breath, her ample chest heaving. "So this is why you summoned me from the Imperial Capital?"

Tang Song smiled and shook his head, saying, "There's one more thing. Today marks our one-year anniversary of knowing each other, and I'd like to invite you to dinner. Is that alright?"

Secretary Jin was pleased, and her gaze towards Tang Song softened and became affectionate. With her hands hanging down in front of her, she said softly, "Of course, it's my honor. I'll go to the hotel to tidy up first."

After saying that, he turned around and left quickly.

Beneath the gray pencil skirt, her slender waist swayed gracefully.

Her long, slender legs were encased in stockings, revealing a soft, shimmering glow.

Her full, perky buttocks were perfectly shaped like a heart, swaying slightly with each step.

After finishing his conversation with his beautiful female secretary, Tang Song, in high spirits, snapped his fingers.

Open the system store.

Perhaps it was because of Secretary Jin, but during today's mall event, he obtained a rare special item called the "Lucky Coin".

An item that can significantly increase temporary luck.

At the same time, Tang Song looked at the 10 card draws he had accumulated and felt a surge of excitement.

Because recruiting and training characters requires a lot of resources and effort, the number of characters he can recruit is limited, and it is best if they come from different directions and fields.

So which field should we choose next?

Artificial intelligence? Human resources? Entertainment and media?

For some reason, a stunningly beautiful figure appeared before his eyes.

Su Yu.

Tang Song closed his eyes, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he began to actively find excuses for himself.

Entertainment and media are inevitable.

Not only does it bring in money quickly, but it also allows him to control public opinion and help his business develop.

He has a wealth of film and music resources in his mind, and rather than letting them go to waste, he'd rather turn them into reality himself.

And these definitely need a medium.

Ideally, she should be a high-quality artist with the potential to become a breakout star, and she should be a woman.

Of course, all of the above is nonsense.

Ultimately, he wanted to play Celebrity Development game, to mold that aloof and ethereal female celebrity into his own shape.

In fact, although character gacha is random, as long as you are lucky enough, you can definitely get the one you want most.

That's how the title "Advisor - Annie Kate" came about.

He first learned of her existence through Secretary Jin, and learned about her family background and personality, before plotting to bring her into his fold.

She used this to gain access to the core resources of the Kate Family.

Now that you've obtained the [Lucky Coin], along with several other items and titles that offer a luck boost, it's definitely worth a try.

In the end, Tang Song followed his heart and decided to be willful this once.

On the 7th time, a beautiful character illustration card appeared in front of him.

[Su Yu (SSR)]

[Status: Depressed]

[Location: Magic City Anzhu Park, Shanghai. map]

Special Skills: None

Age: 20, Height: 172 cm, Weight: 46 kg

Overall Rating: 87.4 Excellent (Can be improved)

[Character Background Story: Born in 1997 into an ordinary family in Su Province, she possesses both talent and diligence. She debuted at the age of 17 and is a first-generation member of the Echo Girl Group.]

It was only through the background story that Tang Song learned about her recent situation.

The teammates she personally mentored conspired to betray her.

A series of fabricated accusations, including bullying within the team, tearing up teammates' posters, and smoking and drinking, coupled with maliciously edited video clips and photos, subjected her to unprecedented cyberbullying and destruction.

The company's management chose to sacrifice Su Yu in order to protect the team, in order to make Echo Girl Group a money-making machine.

At a star-studded concert, she went on stage alone and encountered a rare Black Sea Incident in the Chinese entertainment industry, causing her life and career to collapse and leading to depression and suicidal tendencies.

After reading Su Yu's story, Tang Song, who was in a special situation, remained indifferent and calm, but became even more determined.

It's worth mentioning that during lunch, Tang Song specifically mentioned his plans for entertainment and media to Secretary Jin, and also asked her to investigate someone for him —Yi Yi Su Yu.

April 5, 2017, 7:00 AM.

On the paths of Anzhu Park in Magic City, Tang Song strolled leisurely through the woods where the mist had not yet dissipated.

The sound of birdsong filled my ears, mixed with a faint but deep guitar melody.

He stopped in his tracks and stood Jingjing under the shade of the tree, observing her.

Ten steps away, on a bench, Su Yu, wearing a black baseball cap and a pair of black and white sunglasses, completely covered herself up. She was playing an acoustic guitar with her head down, the melody slow and sad.

The morning sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell on her, outlining her perfect figure.

Tang Song picked a budding cherry blossom from a nearby cherry tree, walked gently to her, sat down next to her, and handed the Sakura to her.

The flower buds are tightly closed, yet a faint sweet fragrance can already be smelled.

"This is for you." His voice was gentle and calm, like a tranquil lake.

The music stopped abruptly in the summer.

"Who are you?" She raised her head, her tone wary, her voice pleasant but unusually dry.

"The knight who came to save you from your dreams." Tang Song smiled slightly. "Miss Su Yu, sometimes, an ending is a new beginning."

Through her sunglasses, he couldn't see her eyes, but he could sense the strangeness and doubt within them.

Tang Song placed the Sakura on her straight and shapely legs and took the wooden guitar from her hands.

He skillfully plucked the strings a few times and then began to play.

The melody is light and warm, pleasant and captivating.

Su Yu stared intently at him, her eyes gradually shifting from initial confusion to a kind of indescribable brightness.

"Did you make this up yourself?" she couldn't help but ask, her voice much softer than before, her fingers unconsciously tracing the Sakura branch.

Tang Song nodded. "I guess so. It was just something I did on a whim. Do you like it?"

"I like it." She nodded, adding, "I really like it."

I feel like I've heard it somewhere before, but I can't quite place it.

Was it in a dream?

Looking at the clean-cut young man in front of her, she felt a surge of warmth and dependence.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Song played another beautiful melody.

This time, he was more relaxed, leaning back in his chair, his fingers deftly strumming, tapping, and striking the guitar, as if chatting with an old friend.

Make this spring morning even more vibrant.

Su Yu was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Thank you."

"What are you thanking me for?"

"Thank you for bringing me such beautiful music and for giving me this Sakura." She looked down at the flower in her hand, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible. "Whether you meant it sincerely or not, whether you were kind or malicious, at least for this moment, I feel a long-lost joy."

Tang Song turned his head and looked at her quietly.

Neither of them spoke; they simply looked at each other.

After a long time, the sun gradually rose, and the dazzling light shone directly down through the treetops.

Tang Song stood up and stood in front of her, shielding her from the direct sunlight.

"I am Tang Song, the Tang Song of Tang, Tang Song, Ming, and Qing." He smiled slightly, his voice deep yet powerful. "Fate likes to play tricks on people."

But true power always allows a hero to rebuild their kingdom from the ruins. Miss Su Yu, if you're willing, I'm ready to be your stepping stone to the top.

"To help you rise from the abyss to the stars, until you yourself place the crown atop your head."

Su Yu looked at him with a sense of contentment, and she was surprised to find that she felt genuinely close to him, trusted him, and depended on him.

It was as if he were truly a knight who had fought his way out of his nightmares to protect him.

Mysterious, powerful, and omnipotent.

She stood up, pursed her dry lips, and asked, "So what do I need to do now?"

"Follow me!"

Tang Song held a guitar in one hand and held her cold hand in the other.

I led her through the gradually bustling park and into a steaming breakfast shop at the alley entrance.

"Breakfast is half of life; starting today, you should eat on time."
