An Embrace in the Evening Breeze

It was the morning rush hour, so the roads were a bit congested.

I locked the electric motorcycle downstairs at the company and checked the time; I only had 3 minutes left!

"Minmin! We're going to be late! Run!" Yao Lingling shouted and started running.

Wearing a floral dress and high heels, Li Shumin's face turned pale instantly. "Wait for me!"

Yao Lingling turned around and waved to her, then disappeared into the office building in the blink of an eye.

After swiping the access card, the elevator lobby was teeming with people, with crowds packed outside each elevator door.

Shunyuan Building has been built for more than ten years, but the elevators do not have separate high and low sections, so you have to wait a long time during peak hours.

I checked the time; there were only 2 minutes left.

Hurry up, bro!

Yao Lingling was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet.

"Ding—" An elevator in the corner arrived.

Yao Lingling hurriedly followed the crowd toward that direction, but unfortunately she still couldn't squeeze in.

My precious 200 yuan attendance bonus! Is it really going to just slip away like this? No way!

"Ding—" Another elevator arrives.

Yao Lingling held her bag in front of her and squeezed in through gritted teeth.

Watching the door slowly close, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I checked the time; there was only one minute left!

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!

After walking and stopping for a while, we finally reached the 8th floor.

She was so anxious that she needed to use the restroom.

Although the time on her Mobile Phone was still 09:00, Yao Lingling knew that her time was running out!

He rushed into the company gate with a tense expression and pressed his index finger heavily onto the fingerprint recognition area.

"Beep! Check-in successful."

I checked the time on the time clock: 09:01.

Yao Lingling nervously rubbed her hands, feeling a mix of anxiety and uncertainty.

Did you clock in at 9:00 or 9:01?

The number may be small, but it's worth two hundred!

I returned to my workstation, my mind heavy with worries.

"Thud—" Several sheets of A4 paper landed on the desk in front of me.

Designer Liang Jiani frowned and said, "Yao Lingling, didn't I tell you that the chest pocket flap should be made of A material! And the cuffs should have 5cm of elastic!"

Yao Lingling quickly stood up and explained in a low voice, "Sister Liang, the latest version of the form you gave me didn't indicate this, so I thought it was consistent with the previous version."

"Can't you ask questions?" Liang Jiani gritted her teeth and said sternly, "Redraw the pattern sheet for me again. The more detailed the plan, the process specifications, and the materials, the better. Don't give me such basic questions in the next pattern!"

"Okay, Sister Liang."

As she watched the designer leave, Yao Lingling's face immediately fell.

What the hell! You always blame me, your assistant, when there's a problem. You're not satisfied with the result even though it was the Pattern Maker made it!

After tidying up the things on the table, I went to the bathroom.

I took out my Mobile Phone and started my daily paid pooping routine.

"Hmm? A new friend request? Tang Song?" Yao Lingling muttered to herself and clicked to view.

Good heavens, April! You've finally shown your face!

After clicking "accept," the comment read, "Hey bro, hurry up and take notes! I'm waiting for your makeover."

"Ding-dong—"

Tang Song: "Thank you for your support. I've already done it on Little Red Book. You can go there and offer your suggestions."

Yao Lingling's eyes lit up, and she quickly opened the Little Red Book app and found "April" in her following list.

Just as I expected! My wallet is safe!

Seeing the before-and-after comparison photos in her notes, Yao Lingling blinked.

Has she finally shown her face?

It seems... pretty good!

She and others had discussed this in the comments section in April, and they all thought that he was probably a little ashamed of his appearance and was embarrassed to show his face, which was why he wore a mask.

The change before and after is too big!

On the left is: that man; on the right is: this handsome guy.

Besides her attractive face, she also has a well-proportioned and upright figure, and a vibrant and energetic spirit.

Especially when he smiles, he looks kind of handsome!

Although he's not exactly a top-tier handsome guy, he's at the level where people would actively approach him in real life.

Seeing the results of her simulation game, Yao Lingling beamed with joy.

After admiring it for a while, I started to read the main text.

"Company goddess? Bai Fumei? Dating? Let me count... this is the third one, right? Goodness, I thought you were just a naive simp, but you're a wolf in sheep's clothing!"

I opened the comments section and took a look.

Moonlit Murmurs: "April, you have gradually become someone I can never reach."

Next Stop, Heaven: "Her appearance is much better than expected!"

Pat Pat: "This is the most successful case of reform that I personally supervised, and also the one with the highest execution."

Blank Bubble: "It's perfect! It's perfect! After raising my Electronic Pet for so long, I've finally succeeded! It feels so good!"

Everyone was praising his transformation and good looks; not many people offered any criticism.

Yao Lingling shifted her body and adjusted her posture.

The comment reads, "The makeover was a great success! If you want to perform better on a date, consider simple makeup. Here are the steps: Step 1..."

Songmei Clothing on the 30th floor of Yunxi Building.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?" Tang Song asked in surprise.

Gao Mengting opened her mouth, looked at her notebook, and then at Tang Song.

After a long silence, he said, "Your ' Project Feasibility Report ' makes me feel like a complete novice. The analysis of the target market is very detailed, especially the operational strategies, financial management, and team building in the early stages of the company. It's practically a perfect answer sheet."

Gao Mengting took a deep breath and looked at him with admiration. "As long as we follow this plan step by step, we will soon be able to gain a foothold and grow bigger and stronger. Mr. Tang, I admit that I underestimated you."

Tang Song blushed slightly. "If you think it's okay, then it's fine."

The two spent the rest of the day organizing the initial team's recruitment information and posting it on various recruitment websites.

Then, they began selecting the first batch of goods to be sold from Gao Mengting's inventory list.

7 PM.

The two took the elevator to the B2 parking lot.

Tang Song pulled out the Wuling Hongguang car key from his pocket and waved it. "Here you go."

"Thank you." Gao Mengting reached out and caught it steadily.

Once in the car, fasten your seatbelt.

Tang Song set up the navigation and said with a smile, "Take me home first. This car is practically a public bus. The trunk space is so big; I'll need it when I go to the warehouse to transport clothes."

"This..." Gao Mengting hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay! Then I won't be coy with you anymore."

"Set off."

The car drove out of the underground parking garage and merged into the city's congested traffic.

Tang Song leaned back comfortably in his seat, Jingjing admiring his partner sitting in the driver's seat.

Her outfit today is somewhat similar to Xiao Xue's yesterday.

A fitted women's suit jacket, with a white V-neck top and a gray pencil skirt.

She looks elegant and capable, very beautiful.

Noticing his gaze, Gao Mengting shifted her hips somewhat awkwardly and then instinctively sat up straight.

While waiting at the traffic light, I turned on the car's music player.

The rhythmic singing calmed her down.

The Yancheng was exceptionally congested the night before the May Day holiday.

We drove and stopped frequently, and it took us more than half an hour to reach our destination.

Gao Mengting looked around the neighborhood as the evening breeze blew.

It wasn't quite what she had imagined; it wasn't exactly a high-end neighborhood.

Tang Song stood next to her and invited, "Would you like to come up and sit for a while?"

"No, I need to go back and organize the inventory list, and also see if anyone has submitted their resumes." Gao Mengting smiled, turned around and hugged the Wuling Hongguang. "Thank you for letting me drive it home again, it's so nice."

Tang Song casually joked, "Why don't you hug me too? That would show more sincerity."

The evening breeze tousled her hair. Gao Mengting pursed her lips, smiled, and said, "Okay, partner."

After saying that, she took the initiative to step forward, opened her arms, and gently hugged him.

Tang Song trembled as he felt the soft warmth and smelled a faint body fragrance mixed with shampoo.
