Ready for Takeoff

Wednesday, April 26, 2023, sunny turning cloudy, 11~20°C.

After carefully completing her skincare routine, Tang Song stood in the bathroom, scrutinizing her face.

With the blessing of the Male God Halo (LV2), his dark circles have completely disappeared, and his puffy eye bags have become barely visible.

The acne scars on my face are very faint; applying a layer of moisturizer will perfectly cover them.

With Zhao Yachian's help, the closed comedones on her chin have almost disappeared.

My skin tone has improved somewhat, but it is still a bit dull.

Overall, among the guys he's met, this level of skin isn't bad.

With his good facial features, well-proportioned physique, and 182cm height, he has basically recovered to the level of his appearance during his sophomore year of college.

If you dress appropriately and apply some concealer to your face, you'll definitely be considered handsome and turn heads on the street.

Nice!

Tang Song took out his Mobile Phone, took a real selfie, and shared it with Zhao Yachian.

She left a message saying, "I feel my skin is in great condition right now, Qianqian, is there anything I need to adjust?"

It's 9 a. m. now, Zhao Yachian is probably on her way to work, scrolling through her Mobile Phone. She's replying very quickly.

Zhao Yachian: "I've made great progress! Keep it up! I think my biggest problem right now is large pores. If I can solve that, my skin will look even better."

Tang Song: "Then what should I do?"

Zhao Yachian: "Regular cleansing and exfoliation open up pores to allow for better absorption of moisture and nutrients. I always do this step when I do your skincare routine, so don't worry."

Zhao Yachian: "What you need to do is pay attention to sun protection and use skincare products that can shrink pores. I'll find some products suitable for your skin type and share them with you later."

Tang Song: "Okay, thank you."

Zhao Yachian: "Brother Song, don't be so polite with me. Just let me know if you need anything. (#smileyface)"

Upon seeing the message, Tang Song smiled and replied, "Why don't you share a selfie? Let me see Teacher Zhao's skin condition and outfit today."

After a while, Zhao Yachian finally sent a photo.

It must have been freshly baked; it was sitting on the bus, surrounded by quite a few people standing around it.

Sunlight streamed in through the side window, enveloping her, highlighting her bright and beautiful features, her loose hair, her fair and radiant skin, and her delicate and refined collarbones.

She looks warm and beautiful.

Although he didn't see the iconic wine glass-shaped stem, Tang Song was still very satisfied and felt much more relaxed.

This beautician friend is quite good to me; she's very honest about everything except that she doesn't want to develop a romantic relationship with me further.

After chatting with her for a while, Tang Song put down his Mobile Phone.

I sat down at the computer and continued organizing the startup project documents.

With the company about to be established, it's time for the Project Feasibility Report to come in handy.

Linjin Building, Brocade Business Co., Ltd.

Hu Mingli glanced at the empty seat next to her and couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle.

Zhao Yue did indeed take the day off today. It seems that the photo from last night had a strong aftereffect; she probably couldn't sleep until dawn.

The two worked in the same department and lived not far from each other, so they had many opportunities to interact. She knew Zhao Yue very well.

Not bad, just a bit manipulative and selfish.

He must be regretting it terribly now, and is thinking about how to salvage his image in Tang Song's heart.

Of all the fish she's raised, Tang Song is the best, but she just couldn't catch it.

Unfortunately, it's too late to regret it now; Wen Ruan has already made her move.

These two people are not in the same league in terms of personality, appearance, ability, or physique.

Thinking of this, Hu Mingli opened WeChat and sent a message to her close friends' group. "Zhuangzhuang, how's the chat with Tang Song going? Any progress?"

Wen Ruan: "We just talked about fitness last night, and got to know each other a bit. He's a nice guy, at least he didn't say anything lewd."

Hu Mingli: "He's a really nice person. You can ask him out to meet when you have time. As his older sister, you should take the initiative. From what I've observed, he's never been in a relationship before."

Zhang Ziqi: "@Zhuangzhuang, wow! A Zhuangzhuang and innocent 25-year-old young man, driving BMW 330, with such outstanding temperament, he should be a perfect match for your ideal partner, why not go for it!"

Wen Ruan: "Let's chat first, mainly to see if we're compatible and find common interests."

After chatting for a few more minutes in the group, Hu Mingli's eyes darted around, and she took a screenshot of the chat history and shared it with Tang Song.

The comment read, "Great start, keep it up, Xiao Song! Put in more effort! I believe in you!"

A few minutes later.

"Buzz buzz buzz—" The Mobile Phone vibrated.

Tang Song: "Sister Mingli, I've ordered you some fresh fruit slices, a cappuccino, and an 8-inch Durian Mille-feuille cake. Remember to collect them later."

Hu Mingli chuckled and couldn't help but give Tang Song a thumbs up in her heart.

That's more like it. It's worth it for me to treat him so well.

In the future, we can consider giving him more internal screenshots to help him speed up the process.

"Buzz buzz buzz—" The Mobile Phone vibrated again.

Tang Song: "I just bought you an SK-II skincare set from JD.com and mailed it directly to your office. Thanks to Sister Mingli for helping me find a partner."

Good heavens! Hu Mingli exclaimed, "Good heavens!"

Taking a deep breath, she began typing a reply, "When the weather is nice, Wen Ruan always commutes to work by bike. Her route starts from the South Gate of the Luzhou Jingyuan Residential Complex, along... Her favorite songs include... She has a yearly membership at Rhythm Fitness (Hua Yun Building Branch)..."

The moment the message was sent, Hu Mingli's ears twitched.

He quickly put away his Mobile Phone and sat up straight.

"Da da da—"

"Tap tap tap—"

The sound of hurried footsteps came from the reception area and gradually approached the office area.

The employees all put down their work and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

In the corridor, a group of more than ten men and women in suits walked towards this side.

Chairman Ren Huining, President Feng Zhongping, Vice President Li Zhongguo, and others were among them.

There were 7 or 8 unfamiliar faces remaining, walking with composure, maintaining proper posture, and with their hair neatly combed.

They walked and talked in hushed tones, gradually disappearing around the corner of the corridor and entering the company's T1 Conference Room.

Immediately, suppressed murmurs arose in the office area.

"These must be representatives from the investment institutions our company has brought in, right? They look so serious!"

"A notice was just sent in the group chat! All meeting rooms are temporarily closed today!"

"What exactly happened? Shao Kai, do you have any concrete information?"

In the area where the Technical Support Department was located, everyone's attention was focused on Du Shaokai.

Everyone knows that he has powerful connections in the company.

Otherwise, how could he, with his flamboyant and showy personality, have such a comfortable life in the company?

Du Shaokai lowered his voice and said, "We're holding a shareholders' meeting today to elect two new directors, both appointed by this investment company. The company is truly about to undergo a major upheaval!"

Do you know which company it is?

Du Shaokai said mysteriously, "You'll know after the May Day holiday. Just wait patiently, our company is about to take off."
