Chapter 189: Townhouse Villa

"Click—" The lights flickered, and the car doors locked.

Lin Mu carried a pile of shopping bags, her face slightly flushed, occasionally sneaking a look at Tang Song.

Confirming that he was indeed not angry, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, her emotions were excited, and she had accidentally pounced on him.

She didn't actually know Tang Song very well; they had only been in contact three or four times in total.

Most of it was pieced together from Opening Xiaohongshu notes and Zhao Zhao Yaqian's descriptions.

In her mind, he should be an excellent, good man who was positive, highly executive, outstanding, self-disciplined, gentle, and generous.

Now she knew the other party had a girlfriend, and she was even good friends with his girlfriend.

Under these circumstances, flirting with him felt fearful and shameful; it was not honorable after all.

Toward such a male god, she still hoped to use a more positive image, fearing that if her true nature were exposed, Tang Song would look down on her.

It was already two in the afternoon, and there was basically no one in the elevator.

Lin Mu licked her lips, looking down and submissive. "Tang Song, just now… I was because I was too surprised, so I was a bit reckless. Honestly, this is the favorite gift I have ever received."

"It's okay, I understand." Tang Song looked at her with a smile, feeling it was very interesting.

If it weren't for this special instance, she might really think Xiao Xue was a cold and intellectual wealthy girl.

But now, every time she thought of those exaggerated bullet comments on her forehead, she felt this person was very contrasting.

Of course, from her previous indifference to him on WeChat, it could also be seen that this person was truly money-worshipping.

Although with the help of the system, Xiao Xue already had extremely high favorability toward him, in order to better hone his emotional intelligence, Tang Song decided to "spar" with her properly.

See what new tricks she could come up with.

"Ding—" The elevator door opened slowly.

Lin Mu raised her head and smiled at him. "Goodbye, Tang Song. Let's eat together when you're free."

"Bye~" Tang Song waved with a smile.

Walking out of the elevator door, Lin Mu seemed to have activated some pre-set program.

Head high and chest out, her steps were composed.

She twisted her sexy waist and walked toward the office.

The sound of "tap, tap, tap" footsteps echoed in the hallway.

The conspicuous "LV" and "Chanel" logos were displayed unscrupulously.

Colleagues who happened to be around the front desk instantly cast amazed and envious gazes.

Lin Mu raised the corners of her mouth and nodded elegantly toward them. "Yan Su Su, Wenjie, Sun Yang… good afternoon."

"Good afternoon, Mu!"

"Did you go shopping? So many things! And they're all big brands!"

Sun Yang, sitting at the front desk, hurriedly stood up, his face full of joy. "Mu, you're back."

"The specialty counters have new arrivals recently, so I went for a spin with a friend."

As she spoke, she placed the pile of shopping bags on the ground inside.

It had to be said that so many things were still very heavy.

Wearing 7-centimeter high heels while carrying them felt a bit uncomfortable.

Pulling the office chair over and sitting down, Lin Mu stretched her legs comfortably.

Soon, a few female colleagues gathered around.

"Xiao Xue, I heard from Jiao Sect that you bought a Le Boy black silver cowhide? Can you let me see it?"

"And the Christmas plate, I happened to want to buy one recently."

…

Lin Mu calmly reached out and swept through the numerous shopping bags, picking out the items.

Enjoying the flattery and envy of her colleagues, she felt extremely satisfied inside.

Then, she took out the black Jiang Shidan gift bag, pulled out the heavy gift box from inside, and opened it gently.

The brand-new luxurious wristwatch was presented in front of her.

As a highly acclaimed classic work of the Jiang Shidan brand.

Overseas 2305V, elegant design, excellent movement performance, rich functions, high popularity, and high recognition.

Sunburst satin-brushed dial, minute scale ring with a velvet-like smooth texture.

18K gold hour markers, diamond-set bezel, stainless steel, alligator leather, and rubber—three types of watch straps.

Public price 230,000, a dream tool for showing off.

All her bags added together weren't as expensive as this watch!

For her, this was the true top-tier luxury good.

Lin Mu was dazzled and fascinated.

She didn't know this watch belonged to her when she helped pick it out earlier, but opening it again now, her mindset was completely different.

She only felt that this was the most beautiful gift she had ever received in her life.

For a boy like Tang Song, even being ordinary friends with him was a great happiness.

However, as a girl with "ambition," she naturally wouldn't stop here.

"Mu, what watch is this? Jiang Shidan? So beautiful!" Li Li Xue Jiao's head poked over.

Immediately, other colleagues from the administrative department also gathered around.

Lin Mu raised the corners of her mouth and said calmly, "Jiang Shidan Overseas 2305V. I've been quite fond of the rose-gold dial recently, so I bought this one."

After saying this, she took out her phone and took a beautiful photo.

A female colleague whispered, "I remember our General Manager Zhou wears an Overseas, right? So this series also has women's watches, so beautiful!"

"General Manager Zhou's is the chronograph series classic model, and the price is about the same as this one, 200,000-plus." Lin Mu showed off big time calmly.

A burst of gasps sounded around.

Previously, other female colleagues in other departments had mocked Lin Mu behind her back for loving to show off, saying she wasn't actually as rich as she appeared.

But now, with this wave of huge consumption, the rumors could be considered debunked.

Noticing the gazes of the female colleagues around, Lin Mu smiled, took off the Cartier on her hand, and excitedly changed into the Jiang Shidan.

She only felt that she was terrifyingly strong now, wanting to slap everyone's face when she saw them.

After the excitement for a while, the colleagues left reluctantly.

Sun Yang, standing to the side, looked at the sexy, enchanting, and infinitely charming goddess colleague, gathered his courage, and was just about to open his mouth to ask her out.

A steady male voice sounded. Gu Cheng placed a beautifully packaged fruit cut in front of her, gently adjusted his glasses, and smiled. "Mu, the fruit I ordered for you at noon has been refrigerated for an hour. Taste it, it's especially refreshing."

Hearing this, Sun Yang immediately closed his mouth, feeling a bit discouraged.

In fact, there were many people pursuing Lin Mu in the company, and the advantage he could bring out was being young and handsome.

However, he was just an ordinary administrative specialist responsible for handling some miscellaneous tasks in the company.

In front of a high-level investment manager like Gu Cheng, he had no competitiveness at all.

Lin Mu looked up at him, pushed the fruit cut away, and said politely, "No need, Brother Gu, I just ate at noon."

Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment, not reacting for a while.

Sun Yang couldn't help but show a smile; the goddess was still very cold, treating everyone the same.

And since she was so rich, she should have low requirements for her boyfriend's conditions; he was young and handsome, so his hope was also great.

Just then, Lin Mu smiled at him. "Sun Yang, go get busy, I'll keep an eye on the front desk."

"Oh, oh, okay." Sun Yang hurriedly stood up and started packing his things.

After all the colleagues left.

Lin Mu started organizing the photos taken today.

In the luxury store, beside the Bentley Continental, Le Boy, Overseas…

After organizing these gorgeous photos, she set the permissions and posted them to Moments.

Then, she updated them on Opening Xiaohongshu and Douyin one after another.

Finally, she opened the "Socialite Group" she had joined and threw them directly in.

She left a message: "Boyfriend took me shopping, super happy."

These groups were all added when she was a part-time model, and there were quite a few "old friends" who knew her background.

Lin Mu, who had stepped to a new height in life at this moment, most craved to show off inside.

Soon, one @ message after another popped up.

"Xiao Xue, have you made it big?"

"Damn! Bentley Continental GT, 2305V…"

"So amazing, Xiao Xue, you're doing so well now?"

…

Of course, there were also quite a few mocking and sarcastic comments.

"Bragging doesn't cost taxes. Last month when we went to the Magic City to group-buy, she had to ask people for help just to get a ride-hailing coupon."

"Are there photos of the boyfriend? Let us see which rich guy is willing to spend so much money on you?"

…

A trace of resentment flashed in Lin Mu's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she sent out the photo she had secretly taken of Tang Song in the car.

The handsome and outstanding side profile, the tall and spirited figure, the tailored high-end casual suit, the luxuriously incomparable Bentley interior.

It instantly made the group quiet down.

Immediately following was a burst of enthusiastic flattery.

A trace of shame flashed on Lin Mu's face, but seeing the messages in the group, she soon revealed irrepressible joy again.

Thinking of the feeling of kissing Tang Song hard in the car, she couldn't help but smack her lips, still feeling unsatisfied.

……

Songmei Apparel.

General Manager's Office.

"Our store has already passed the novice period, and the current comprehensive experience score is 4.9. In this way, the payment will be returned 4-5 days after confirming receipt, and our capital pressure will be much, much smaller."

"We have already contacted Jinxiu Trading, and starting next month, we will order best-selling items from them in batches to slowly complete the store transformation."

…

Gao Gao Mengting and Tang Song sat side by side on the sofa, reporting their work with high spirits.

For novice merchants, even if the experience score is relatively high, the payment return cycle is still 14 days.

For the clothing industry, the biggest difficulty is actually inventory and capital.

This was also the main reason she had fallen into a predicament before.

If the payment return cycle is longer, they only need to press one week of inventory, and the risk is greatly reduced.

Tang Song leaned against the soft chair back and suddenly asked, "What about the two new accounts I mentioned before?"

"They're all set up, and store authorization has been done; we can start live streaming and selling goods at any time." Gao Gao Mengting hesitated for a moment and continued, "I think we should focus our energy on doing the 'Songmei Apparel' account well first. After all, our capital, venue, warehouse, and personnel are all limited."

Although she had absolute confidence in the company, she had a rational and steady personality.

Expanding on a large scale now and opening new live streaming rooms wasn't safe and would very likely do more harm than good.

Tang Song shook his head. "Let's operate the two accounts first. Also, warehouse logistics really consumes too much of your energy. This problem must be solved; start recruiting employees."

The three major live streaming rooms he had carefully built were about to be completed, and 【Plan Task 1】 was also about to be completed.

Now he had to be well-prepared.

As a startup project he had carefully prepared, Tang Song naturally hoped to make it big and strong.

Gao Gao Mengting pursed her lips, looked at Tang Song's serious eyes, and finally nodded vigorously. "I will arrange it well!"

Since they started the business together, Tang Song had always been right.

Since he had already made the decision, she just had to work hard to do it.

The two chatted again about the details of tomorrow's live stream.

Gao Gao Mengting suddenly leaned forward and smiled. "The orders we brought goods for before have started to return payments from today, so good!"

"This is a good thing!" Tang Song turned to the side, opened his arms righteously, and said, "Come on, partner, to celebrate us passing the novice period and being about to make a profit, let's have a hug!"

Gao Gao Mengting covered her mouth and laughed, pushing him on the chest. "Is Tang Zong starting to harass female colleagues again? Be careful, or I'll spread your evil deeds in the company."

Tang Song shrugged, stood up, took out a small white gift box from the drawer, and handed it over. "A small gift for you."

Gao Gao Mengting was stunned, a thin layer of red blush appearing on her beautiful face. "Thank you."

Taking the gift box, the first thing she saw was the black "Chanel" logo. Opening the lid gently, it revealed the crystal-clear glass bottle inside.

Tang Song's voice was gentle. "Chanel's Gabrielle, a light floral fragrance, gentle and elegant without losing independence and boldness; it matches your temperament very well."

Gao Gao Mengting bit her lip, met Tang Song's gaze, and suddenly her heart started accelerating.

The sudden little surprise, plus Tang Song's magnetic voice and such pleasant words.

It was simply unbearable.

Closing the gift box slowly, Gao Gao Mengting stood up and took the initiative to open her arms.

Tang Song raised the corners of his mouth. He didn't do what he did before, but instead reached through her armpits, gently stroked her waist and back, hugged her, and intuitively felt her curvaceous body.

A faint fragrance rushed into his nasal cavity; it was the smell of shampoo mixed with body scent and sunshine, very fresh and pleasant.

Gao Gao Mengting's body stiffened for a moment, but she didn't say anything.

"Dong, dong, dong—" A knock on the door sounded.

Gao Gao Mengting pushed him, her eyes a bit flustered. "That, I'll go find Wang Qingya to discuss tomorrow's live stream script first."

After saying this, she hurried to the door and opened it gently.

"General Manager Gao!" Finance Sun Sun Youguang hurriedly greeted her.

Gao Gao Mengting nodded with a smile and turned to walk toward the work area.

Sun Sun Youguang hurriedly walked into the office, closed the door casually, and placed a document in front of Tang Song.

Then he started reporting the cost and expense analysis and cash flow status for this month.

Tang Song nodded lightly while looking at the document in his hand.

According to estimates, the company could achieve profitability early next month, fully covering expenditures such as employee wages, consumption, and inventory.

However, if he wanted to rapidly expand the company's scale, besides the venue, he would definitely have to continue injecting capital.

What he had to do now was estimate the funds needed next and prepare in advance.

…

Watching Sun Sun Youguang walk out of the office door.

Tang Song leaned back in the boss's chair and took a sip of coffee.

He opened the system interface to check the personal information panel.

【Player: Tang Song (53 Charm)】

【Role: Songmei Apparel - President】

【Height: 182cm, Weight: 80kg】

【Physique: 67, Stamina: 67, Agility: 60, Comprehension: 78】

Balance: 3.216 million yuan (Renovation fund 600,000 yuan)

…

After one event instance, his charm increased by another 1 point; it was gratifying.

Entering the warehouse, he checked the reward information.

【Self in the Mirror】: After using this item, you will obtain a small mirror. If you look at it for 10 consecutive days, you will enter a magical dream, observing your appearance, actions, interpersonal interactions, and behavioral patterns from a third-party perspective… helping you better recognize and improve your self-image. Comprehension +2, Agility +2.

Seeing the 【Comprehension +2】 reward, Tang Song clenched his fists hard.

His current comprehension was 78 points; as long as he got this two-point bonus, he could jump to 80.

80 points of comprehension was a watershed in the game; the characters he recruited personally were basically above this value, and it was also an essential attribute for top-tier elites.

As for the 【Agility +2】 reward, it should correspond to perceptual agility.

Selecting the item, he used it immediately.

Immediately after, his pants pocket felt slightly heavy, and there was something extra.

Tang Song took it out to look.

It was a small, exquisite round mirror, about 5 centimeters in diameter.

The front was a bright glass mirror surface, and the back was silver matte metal, also carrying exquisite patterns.

After playing with it for a long time, Tang Song put it away with satisfaction and continued working.

……

May 31st, 2023, Wednesday, thundershowers turning cloudy, 19~27°C.

Thunder rumbled, and rain and fog were heavy.

Tang Song stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and admired it for a while, then started his self-discipline.

7:40 AM.

"Ding! Congratulations to the player, challenge task 【Impulsive Consumption】 has been completed."

Tang Song immediately stopped his posture correction movements.

"Swish!" A faint light screen floated before his eyes, and lines of text jumped out.

【Reward settling……】

【In the past 24 hours, you have deeply felt the joy of consumption, spending money on yourself without hesitation or doubt, improving your mood, and pleasing yourself.】

【In the process of completing the task, you did not blindly indulge in consumption, always following your true inner desires, obtaining psychological satisfaction, which conforms to the self-cultivation of a male god, triggering a hidden reward.】

【Two rewards have been automatically merged.】

【You have obtained: Shengyuan Shengyuan Jiajing Residence *1】

【Shengyuan Shengyuan Jiajing *1】: Located in the Qiaoxi District of Yancheng, a 360-square-meter townhouse villa with fine decoration, including a sky garden, independent courtyard, private gym… Poetic dwelling, townhouse elegance. The property rights are being processed; please go to Anjia Real Estate (Fengxin Road Branch) next Tuesday, June 6th, to collect it.

Good guy! It actually triggered an extra reward! And it was a villa!

Tang Song picked up his phone and searched.

Shengyuan Shengyuan Jiajing was a rare residential area with a villa zone within the city limits; it was an old, high-end residential area in Yancheng and a gathering place for the wealthy.

Convenient transportation, complete supporting facilities, first-class property management level, and it was also a school district house.

There were 6 three-story townhouse villas and 15 western-style houses in the residential area.

There were basically no circulating villa properties on the market.

Then Tang Song raised his eyebrows; why was the location of this residential area so familiar?

Recalling slightly, Tang Song's eyes brightened.

Xie Xie Shu Yu's home was in this residential area!

Checking detailed information online again, Tang Song became more and more excited.

Such a villa, according to past transaction prices, would cost at least 14 million!

A simple consumption task actually obtained such a large reward; Tang Song's mood instantly became happy to the extreme.

"Ding-dong—" A WeChat notification sound rang.

【Lin Mu: "It's a pity it's a rainy day, can only exercise at home. Just finished half an hour of cardio. How about you? Should be done with training now, right?"】

【Lin Mu: "Like this self-disciplined and upward life, keep it up."】

【Lin Mu: Selfie. jpg】

Looking at Lin Mu in the photo with full makeup and deliberately posing, Tang Song couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It must be that when they were eating and chatting yesterday, she found out he had cardio training every morning, and today she started playing her tricks.

Clicking on the photo to enlarge it, this base layer and yoga pants had something going on; very sexy.

It had to be said that her figure was really good, especially her waist, which was particularly thin.

Having just obtained the townhouse villa, Tang Song, in a great mood, casually transferred 5,000 yuan over and left a message: "Indeed very nice, keep it up."

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—"

【Lin Mu: "Why did you suddenly transfer money to me?"】

Tang Song replied with a smile: "I'm in a very good mood right now, sharing the joy with you."

Immediately after, the transfer was accepted directly.

【Lin Mu: "Thank you, I have successfully shared your joy now, very happy!"】
