Chapter 145

"A hobby beneficial to physical and mental health?"

Looking at the task content, Tang Song rubbed his chin and thought seriously for a moment.

Then, looking at the sketching skill he was about to possess, a bold idea instantly popped up.

Figure sketching?

Beauticians, fitness coaches, partners...

No, that was too suggestive and might not be conducive to physical and mental health.

But it could also be developed as a hobby—drawing a sketch for every "wing" was also a very meaningful thing.

Then, Tang Song searched online.

Many of them were hobbies he already had, such as fitness, reading, music, movies...

Besides that, there were travel, swimming, board games, baking, and so on.

After hesitating for a long while, Tang Song decided to follow his heart.

Since the system task was to let him please himself, there was no need to choose randomly just to complete the task.

He could try a few that he was interested in later; if he liked them, he would cultivate them into long-term hobbies.

He wasn't limited to just one; he could have multiple.

His wonderful life had just begun; he would encounter many new things and see many new sceneries in the future, so cultivating a few hobbies to adjust his life was very necessary.

Changing into a tight-fitting fitness outfit, Tang Song began his daily posture correction training.

After completing the training, Tang Song leaned against the wall, lifted the hem of his shirt to reveal the traces of his abdominal muscles, and took a selfie.

He was only a thousand followers away from 10,000 on Xiaohongshu; Tang Song was very much looking forward to the upcoming system rewards and planned to update more notes recently.

Looking at the tall and smooth body lines in the photo, Tang Song couldn't help but "like" it.

After 10 days of checking in at the gym, plus the baptism of the three major items—【Magical Protein Powder】, 【Physical Recovery Potion】, and 【Double Effect Card】—he now possessed qualified muscles, and his physique could be called good-looking.

Sitting in the study, he opened his computer and arranged all the photos since his transformation.

He took out 4 selfies of himself wearing fitness clothes at different stages and made a comparison chart.

He also took screenshots of the comments from his previous posts that urged him to lose weight and exercise.

He uploaded the photos to Xiaohongshu.

Title: 42nd day of listening to advice and transforming, summary of fitness results.

Stretching, Tang Song stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and dialed his mother's phone.

A few sentences of conversation came from the other end of the phone, followed by his mother's familiar voice: "Hello, Xiao Song."

Tang Song smiled and said, "Mom, Happy Mother's Day!"

It was Wen Ruan who told him that today was Mother's Day and reminded him to call home.

It must be said, the big sister was truly thoughtful.

"Haha, thank you, son. You're so busy but still remember." His mother's voice instantly became pleasantly surprised.

The two chatted about daily life for a bit.

His mother suddenly whispered, "Tell Mom, what's going on with that girl who drives a Mercedes? Is she your girlfriend? Jiajia praised her to the skies and even said you two are almost living together."

"Mom, didn't I tell you about my startup before? Mengting is my partner, and our relationship is very good..." Tang Song was silent for a moment and began to selectively tell his startup story.

This matter was within his expectations, and it was also a reasonable explanation he found for the source of his assets.

In their small county, there were many people who made a lot of money through live streaming and short videos, so it was relatively easy to accept.

Exclamations came from the receiver from time to time.

His mother whispered, "Is it really that profitable? Making tens of thousands in one live stream?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly either. Now everything is on the right track, and it will only get better." Tang Song pursed his lips and said, "I'll transfer a sum of money to you later. You don't need to think about saving money; spend it when you need to. I can afford the house myself, and I've already bought a car—it's a BMW. I'll send you the photos later..."

Tang Song was still talking, but his mother's voice in the receiver became quieter and quieter.

After he stopped, his mother's voice choked up: "No need to transfer money to us. We earn several thousand every month at home; you just keep it for yourself. For the past few years, the family has been holding you back and couldn't help you with anything..."

Tang Song hurriedly interrupted: "Alright, Mom, isn't it getting better now? The past is in the past; look forward."

His mother felt very guilty about him giving up his postgraduate entrance exam and working to pay off debts, and she would wipe away tears every time it was mentioned.

They chatted for a long while more.

His mother said with some heartache: "Although you make it sound simple, Mom understands one truth: making money isn't easy. Remember to take care of yourself and don't be too hard on yourself."

"Don't worry, Mom. Haven't I been sending you photos? I'm really doing very well."

Hanging up the phone, Tang Song's mood relaxed a lot.

He picked up the wooden guitar from the rack and played and sang while walking around the room.

"I once really wanted to know,"

"How many times must the same words be said?"

"Those cliches emphasized again and again,"

"..."

After playing the guitar until he was tired, Tang Song went into the kitchen and made himself a sumptuous dinner.

After eating, he leaned back on the sofa and continued reading "Marketing Management."

With the help of the 【Ginkgo Bookmark】, his efficiency was very high, and he had almost mastered this book.

This was a classic marketing masterpiece; what Tang Song learned from it wasn't just how to sell products, but also how to sell himself.

He truly benefited a lot.

"Ding-dong—" "Ding-dong—"

WeChat notification sounds rang continuously.

He picked it up and took a look.

It was the small group he built with Yao Lingling and the other two.

【Li Shumin: "@Tang Song, little brother, you're about to be cheated on!"】

【Li Shumin: "@Tang Song, your girlfriend Lingling went out on a date with another boy for dinner tonight, and she was carrying a gift when she came back. She was so happy."】

【Lingling: "Li Shumin! What nonsense are you spouting!"】

Seeing the content of the message, Tang Song's eyebrows raised slightly, and he instantly understood that Li Shumin was teasing them.

The reason was naturally their banter in the comment section last time, calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend.

Immediately, Tang Song's eyes lit up.

He almost forgot, his two junior schoolmates were fashion designers!

Now that he had the sketching skill, the best choice was to draw the 【Outfit】 completely, entrust Yao Lingling and the others to make a pattern, and then have it made into a finished garment according to his size.

……

Xingchen Huayuan Residential Area, Building 8.

"Li Shumin! Hurry up and recall the message for me!" Yao Lingling said with a flushed face, reaching out to snatch the phone.

Although Li Shumin was short, her movements were exceptionally agile, dodging and weaving in the small living room.

After the time for recalling had passed, the two finally calmed down.

Yao Lingling used force to pin her down, her face red as she said: "We were just playing around online, what boyfriend and girlfriend!?"

"I was also playing around!" Li Shumin pouted, saying sourly: "Seeing you have such great luck, I'm almost dying of envy!"

Zhang Jiahong, who was reading in the room, couldn't help but say: "What kind of female-oriented novel plot is this? Lingling, you can't forget us when you make it big in the future. If I can't make it ashore in the future, I'll rely on you to cover me."

Yao Lingling let go of Li Shumin and said irritably: "It's still nothing, can you guys stop spouting nonsense."

"Isn't this just a matter of time? Do you really have the heart to reject Young Master Xiao? I don't believe it!" Li Shumin slapped her own thigh, "Sigh, it's a pity I didn't seize this good opportunity!"

An intern named Xiao Mingxuan came to the company a while ago, also in an assistant position.

Because he didn't understand anything, he often asked them various questions and details, and he was very informal.

Everyone was so busy with work, who had the time to bring along such a newcomer?

After a few days, no one paid attention to him, and some even mocked him.

Only Yao Lingling, with her warm heart, tirelessly explained various terms to him and guided him to complete a design pattern from start to finish.

To show his gratitude, Xiao Mingxuan specially invited Yao Lingling to dinner tonight.

He drove a Porsche Cayenne directly to pick her up downstairs, took her to a Michelin restaurant for a dinner costing several thousand, and even gave her a gold bracelet.

Yao Lingling also learned the other party's true identity: the only son of the company boss, a student who had just returned from abroad.

Entering the company this time was to start from the grassroots level and gradually take over his father's position.

This plot, which often appeared in Korean dramas, directly stunned Yao Lingling and made her two roommates cry with envy.

Even if the two couldn't become lovers, at least a promotion and salary increase were certain; the road to success was right before her eyes.

Yao Lingling helplessly spread her hands, "Can you guys stop letting your imaginations run wild? I'm just an ordinary girl; someone from such a high-status family definitely wouldn't look at me."

"He even gave you a bracelet! Isn't that just wanting to tie you down!"

"Young and wealthy, and you have such a connection; if you don't seize the opportunity, don't cry later."

"Speaking of which, Lingling, your love luck has really been exploding lately. On the internet, you have such an excellent spirit boy like Tang Song, and in reality, you have a chaebol prince like Young Master Xiao."

"Speaking of which, Tang Song is actually not bad either. Did you see the photos he posted this afternoon? He actually has abdominal muscles, super handsome, hehe!"

"Minmin, wipe your drool."

Listening to the discussion of her two roommates, Yao Lingling said loudly: "Go, go, go, it's all nonsense, stop YY here, as if I'm so popular."

Li Shumin patted her shoulder and encouraged: "Big frame, good appetite, not picky, pear-shaped figure, flat chest, thick legs, big butt. You are the innate fitness saint Yao Lingling; dress a bit sexier, and you'll be very charming in the eyes of boys."

Yao Lingling slapped her butt heavily, "Then you are the innate Luosifen saint! And I must sternly correct you, this is a standard A-cup! If I eat a bit more, I might even upgrade to a B!"

The two played around for a bit, and Yao Lingling's phone suddenly rang.

It was a voice call invitation from Tang Song.

"Damn Minmin! It's all your fault for talking nonsense, he's calling to question me!"

Yao Lingling answered the voice call with a bitter face and went directly into her room to prevent her two roommates from making trouble.

After a long while, the two roommates, who hadn't seen Yao Lingling come out, curiously gathered at the door and began to eavesdrop.

They vaguely heard "design intent," "style features," and "pattern making."

The two looked at each other, both somewhat surprised.

Why are they chatting about fashion design?
