Chapter 190

Yanjing Huating.

Bursts of cool breeze passed through the screen window, lifting the beige curtains and blowing in.

Zhao Yaqian opened her eyes in a daze, feeling the soft bedding and comfortable pillow, as if she were on the clouds.

Her delicate and exquisite nose moved.

Fresh air mixed with the scent of moist soil flooded into her nose.

She turned her head slightly to look out the window; the rain was like a curtain, blurring the scenery in the distance, leaving only a hazy outline.

The originally hazy expression gradually became clear.

Sitting up, she stretched, feeling her body full of vitality.

In the spacious and luxurious master bedroom.

Soft ambient lights emitted warm-colored light, exquisite decorations, elegant tones, delicate materials…

It's so good here! The community environment is fresh, elegant, clean, and tidy, and the bed is super comfortable.

Thinking that this was her own home, Zhao Yaqian instantly beamed with joy.

Picking up her phone to check the time, 8:01.

No need to go to work, sleeping until 8 AM, it's truly a fairy life.

Immediately following, she saw another unread message.

【Brother: "Teacher Zhao, how is my skin now?"】

【Brother: Selfie. jpg】

Opening the photo sent by Tang Song, she kissed the screen.

Zhao Yaqian laughed "puchi," lying on the bed and kicking her legs, replying with a voice message: "Brother Song's skin is getting better and better. Except for the slightly uneven skin tone, everything else is fine. Keep working hard! Also, I miss you, miss you so much!"

Taking a photo of her legs and sharing it over, as if thinking of something, Zhao Yaqian got up quickly.

Lifting her shorts to look inside.

Long live! Auntie is finally gone!

Can play ball passionately with Brother Song again!

Thinking of her boyfriend's handsome figure, face, and flexible, powerful hands.

Zhao Yaqian shuddered, licked her pink lips, and was eager to move.

Her mind was instantly full of Tang Song's style of dribbling, shooting, rebounding, and posting up.

Bought several pairs of silk stockings of various colors over the weekend, can play well with Brother Song then!

"Buzz buzz buzz—" The phone vibrated.

【Aunt: "Qian Qian, how is your development with your boyfriend recently? Are you living together? When you are free, bring him to my house as a guest."】

Zhao Yaqian pursed her lips and replied: "Mm-hmm, okay Aunt, I know. He's been especially busy recently, I'll go over when he's free, ha."

After sending the message, Zhao Yaqian hesitated for a long while and transferred 20,000 yuan over.

She left a message: "Aunt, my mom borrowed 100,000 from you before. I have some money on me now, it's money I asked my boyfriend for. Returning some first, will continue to return it when I have money later."

【Aunt: "Oh my, you child, I didn't mean to urge you, just caring about your progress."】

After chatting for a while, Yu Wenxia declined twice and accepted the transfer.

Zhao Yaqian walked barefoot to the balcony window and pulled open a corner of the curtain.

Reaching out, she gently touched the raindrops sliding down the window, feeling the coolness spread through her fingertips to her whole body.

Her gaze was slightly lost.

She was just simple, and not having seen much of the world didn't mean she was truly stupid.

Under her cousin's earnest teaching, she also understood a lot.

An income of 1.17 million a month, if her family knew, the consequences would be unpredictable.

With her mother's personality and the style of those relatives, she might never have peace again.

Maybe it would even cause trouble for Tang Song and make him hate her.

So she didn't tell her family about things like trust funds and real estate.

However, she really felt sorry for her aunt, which was why she couldn't help but transfer a sum of money.

The 100,000 yuan her mother borrowed was money her child had saved for school later; her uncle had made a huge scene at home, almost getting a divorce.

It was conceivable that her aunt must have had a very hard time this past year.

With these 20,000 yuan returned, their relationship would surely ease.

After a while, she could say it was money borrowed from her boyfriend to pay back the rest.

Having experienced the ups and downs of initial sudden wealth, Zhao Yaqian, who had gradually calmed down, was already starting to plan her life.

Although she didn't understand many things, her subconscious told her that she must change some things.

Just like… what Xiao Xue said, what she should do is provide him with enough emotional value and freshness.

If only I could be as smart and elegant as Xiao Xue, Brother Song would definitely like me more.

Putting on slippers, she opened the door and walked out.

"Good morning! Tingzi!" Zhao Yaqian showed a bright smile to He Liting, who was eating.

He Liting waved. "Come over quickly, taste the sandwich I made. The kitchen here is really great, especially the open-style Western kitchen; the appliances and cabinets are all so high-end."

The two ate breakfast while chatting about their feelings after moving in.

He Liting looked at her innocent cousin, wanting to say something but stopping, and finally closed her mouth.

Yesterday, she saw with her own eyes that after General Manager Gao came out of Tang Song's office, she had an extra Chanel gift box in her hand.

The implication was self-evident.

In fact, almost everyone in the company could see the ambiguous atmosphere between the two.

This was also the reason she had never dared to confess to Tang Song.

However, it wouldn't be hidden for long; there would always be a day of exposure.

What she worried about most was whether Tang Song would optimize her out because of this reason.

If it really didn't work… should she confess for leniency?

Express that she was very sensible and would definitely not cause bad influence to Tang Zong.

After eating, Zhao Yaqian took the initiative to start tidying up the dining room and kitchen.

He Liting tidied up her hairstyle, took her umbrella, and set off for work.

Living here now, it was only 1.5 kilometers away from Yunxi Building, and it was fast to take the bus.

No need to rush on rainy days; she could be very composed.

After being baptized by the thunderstorm, the whole community radiated vitality.

Walking along the damp stone path toward the exit, just as she approached the gate, she saw a graceful and sexy figure.

The waist and hip curves were perfect, wearing high heels, her hips twisting, very enchanting, and carrying a bit of elegance.

It was Lin Mu.

He Liting's gaze fell on the printed umbrella she was holding.

High-end wooden handle, dark patterns and logos printed on the luxurious umbrella surface.

LV?

Immediately following, her gaze fell on her shoulder bag; the silver Chanel logo was shining.

Silk stockings, beautiful legs, hip-hugging skirt, a whole body of luxury goods.

This was an incredibly high-profile and exquisite woman, and she indeed had the capital.

Seeming to notice her gaze, Lin Mu raised the LV umbrella and looked over here.

Their eyes met, and she nodded calmly toward her. "Tingzi, good morning."

"Morning, Xiao Xue." He Liting hurriedly smiled.

"Are you going to work?"

"Mm, just about to take a car." He Liting nodded, feeling her aura was suppressed by the other party.

No way, facing such a high-knowledge finance, luxury-clad rich beauty, which girl wouldn't feel guilty?

The two walked slowly out of the gate and came to the roadside.

Lin Mu asked casually, "Where do you work?"

He Liting hesitated and answered truthfully, "At Yunxi Building, not far from here."

"Oh?" Lin Mu raised her brows in surprise, just about to say something.

A black Mercedes-Benz E-Class stopped over with its hazard lights on.

Lin Mu smiled. "The car I called is here, let's go together; I also happen to work at Yunxi Building."

"Oh oh, alright." He Liting licked her lips.

Soft and soothing pure music lingered in the car cabin.

The temperature in the car was just right, and drinks and snacks were provided in the back row.

Lin Mu crossed her left leg, took out a small mirror from her bag, and tidied up her hairstyle that had been dampened by the rain.

Under the exquisite hip-hugging skirt, the delicate silk stockings outlined a plump and alluring leg shape, and a faint high-end perfume scent diffused in the air.

He Liting looked at her own outfit, feeling slightly unnatural.

This set of clothes was taken at a 50% discount from the company warehouse, which could be considered a second-tier domestic women's clothing brand, but compared with Lin Mu, it suddenly appeared particularly rustic.

"Click—" Lin Mu put away the small mirror and leaned against the seat back with a relaxed expression.

Receiving a 5,000 yuan transfer red envelope from Tang Song early this morning made her mood good to the extreme.

So this morning, she very generously called a Didi luxury car.

Usually, taking a business order of around 1,000 at Pungent would take several days of busy work; now, just pleasing Tang Song was equivalent to busy work for a month.

After a while, the car stopped at the drop-off area at the entrance of the building.

Lin Mu didn't yield, pushed the car door, and walked down, her slightly raised cuffs revealing a brilliant wristwatch, holding the black silver Le Boy in her hand.

The collar of her top was slightly open, and a sparkling Bvlgari diamond necklace hung below her neck.

The tall and sexy figure, exquisite and luxurious outfit, instantly attracted the gazes of men and women coming and going.

He Liting, who got off the car behind her, was very uncomfortable, trailing behind her and walking inside.

"Mu, morning."

"Good morning."

"Good morning, Xiao Xue."

"Morning."

…

This time was exactly the start of work for Rongxin Venture Capital; in the lobby, in the elevator, many people took the initiative to greet her along the way.

"Lili! Morning!" Colleague Zhao Zhiming suddenly gathered around, and Sun Youguang, carrying a backpack, followed beside him.

He Liting smiled and greeted them, but found that both of their gazes were aiming at Lin Mu beside her intentionally or unintentionally.

In fact, it wasn't just the two of them; most of the boys in the elevator were staring here.

Just in terms of looks, Lin Mu couldn't be considered a national beauty.

The reason she was so eye-catching was probably because she was clearly dressed very intellectually, but there was just a kind of "burning" (alluring) air.

He Liting felt a toothache; Qian Qian provoked such a female demon, you are really too stupid!

Successfully taking the elevator, walking and stopping.

When reaching the 19th floor, Lin Mu patted He Liting's arm and smiled lightly. "Tingzi, I'm getting off first, bye~"

After saying this, she shook her bag and walked out gracefully.

Zhao Zhiming swallowed his saliva, eyes wide. "Lili, is this your friend?"

Sun Youguang on the side also couldn't help but look over curiously.

He Liting twitched her mouth. "Mm, she's a friend."

…

Walking into the company door, clocking in.

Just approaching the office area, she saw Tang Song sitting at his desk.

The three hurriedly greeted: "Tang Zong!"

Tang Song nodded lightly. "We are chatting about the usage experience of the OA system, everyone can also put forward any opinions."

He Liting placed her bag on the desktop, opened her laptop, and couldn't help but look at Tang Zong sitting opposite.

His bony, slender hands rested lightly on the armrests, legs crossed, ankles lightly crossed, naturally showing a composed posture.

Exquisitely tailored casual suit, elegant white shirt.

High nose bridge, thin lips pursed, focus and seriousness revealed between his brows.

Like a male lead walking out of a book.

He Liting's heart raced, and she hurriedly lowered her head to cover her slightly hot cheeks.

Tang Zong is really too charming! Qian Qian! You really can't grasp it!

Then, she couldn't help but peek at his face through the semi-transparent glass partition.

"Lili! Lili!"

Hearing the magnetic voice calling her, He Liting quickly came back to her senses, blushing a bit. "Tang Zong."

"Come to the office with me."

"Oh oh, alright." He Liting hurriedly stood up and followed quickly.

Gently closing the office door.

Sitting on the sofa.

Tang Song looked at her with burning eyes. "Lili, you've been a co-host in our company for a while, and your performance is very good."

He Liting looked at the cup on the coffee table, somewhat shyly. "It's all taught well by Tang Zong and Gao Zong."

"Hehe." Tang Song chuckled and said, "Tomorrow is June, I plan to open two new live streaming accounts next month."

Hearing this, He Liting couldn't care about being shy, hurriedly raised her head, and said excitedly, "Tang Zong, what do you mean?"

Tang Song nodded lightly, his tone gentle. "Two accounts, one for high-end goods, one for daily use, first operated by you. If there's no problem, I will hand over one of the live streaming rooms to you then, and you will be the host."

Looking at the "foster father" Tang Zong opposite, an excited blush instantly surged on He Liting's face.

She hurriedly stood up and nodded forcefully. "Alright, Tang Zong! I definitely won't let you down!"

Although she didn't know why the company would suddenly open two live streaming rooms at the same time, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her.

"No need to be so nervous." Tang Song encouraged with a smile. "Your performance is indeed very good, you are the last one to leave every day, and you work very hard; Gao Zong has praised you many times. Keep working hard in this afternoon's live stream, strive to pull our GMV to 1 million."

"Alright! Fighting!" He Liting clenched her fists and made a gesture.

Watching He Liting's figure disappear, Tang Song picked up his phone and dialed the number of Wang Dongliang from the construction department of Huiguang Decoration.

After asking about the construction progress, he had just hung up the phone.

The phone vibrated immediately.

It was lawyer Zhao Xingzhi from Quanjing Law Firm.

Tang Song's heart moved, and he immediately guessed what it was.

Connecting the call, "Hello, Lawyer Zhao."

"Good morning, Tang Zong!" Zhao Xingzhi's steady and powerful voice came from the receiver: "The transaction of 35% equity of Huashang Apparel has entered the final stage, involving two investment institutions and 3 independent investors, expected to be all settled before this Friday.

Next, you need to confirm a time to go to Huashang Apparel with the original shareholder (agent) next week to carry out the delivery procedures.

In addition, according to the articles of association, your 35% equity includes two board seats, which can be appointed or served by you."

Tang Song pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, thank you for your hard work, Lawyer Zhao, I'll consider it before giving you an answer."

"Alright, then I won't disturb your work, goodbye Tang Zong."

"Goodbye."

Hanging up the phone.

A crisp system prompt sounded in his ear.

"Ding! You have triggered the branch task 【Fulfill Duties】, please go to the task center to check."

Opening the system interface, he checked the task details.

【Task Content: As a major shareholder of the company, you own part of the ownership of Huashang Apparel, need to ensure that the company's decisions and operations are in your interest, please join the board of directors and understand the company's operation situation in detail.】

【Task Reward: Physical Blind Box *1】

Checking reward details.

【Physical Blind Box】: A storage box for players to store items in the game, which may contain certain things you obtained in the game.

【Note: Of course, it may also be empty.】

After reading the task details, Tang Song raised the corners of his mouth.

He usually liked to watch short videos of "container blind boxes" and was very interested in this kind of blind box with gambling components.

And he indeed had plans to enter the board of directors of Huashang Apparel, which was very important for the future development of Songmei Apparel.

It could also indirectly improve the progress of the subsequent growth plan task.

Closing the system interface.

Tang Song organized his recent itinerary and work plan, and finally determined to go to Huashang Apparel next Thursday.

After replying to Zhao Xingzhi, Tang Song quickly threw himself into work.

……

3:00 PM.

Beicheng Garden Community.

Xu Qing held a white umbrella and ran into the unit door.

"Tap-tap-tap—" Stepping on the stairs and rushing to the 4th floor, she immediately saw the courier brother waiting at the door.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm late." Xu Qing hurriedly bent down to apologize.

Seeing that the customer was such a cute, moe girl, the courier brother laughed. "It's okay, you verify the package and see if there's any problem."

"Alright." Xu Qing took the two couriers, her gaze nailed directly to one of the large, tightly wrapped boxes.

After checking it seriously and confirming there was no damage, she felt relieved. "No problem, thank you for your trouble."

"You're welcome, bye~"

"Bye."

Opening the door and placing the courier in the living room, an excited blush surged on Xu Qing's face.

It finally arrived!

At first, she placed an order on Pinduoduo, but it didn't ship after waiting for a day. Only after asking customer service did she know it was a pre-sale, and this thing was especially popular.

To get the goods before Children's Day on June 1st, she used all her connections.

She found an alumnus who worked in the digital industry in Shenzhen, who was also a member of the cosplay club before, Liu Shuaibo.

After stating her needs, Liu Bo didn't say a word and patted his chest to guarantee he would help her get it done.

It finally arrived on the day before!

Unpacking the package and pulling out a large box from inside, it was quite heavy.

Xu Qing looked at it over and over, her teeth aching with heartache.

Just such an ugly box actually cost me 14,000 yuan!

She didn't know much about graphics cards, just transferred money to Liu Shuaibo, and he was responsible for buying it.

Taking out her phone to search for the brand and model, Xu Qing's eyes jumped.

According to the information she found, this was the "ASUS ROG 4090 Raptor," belonging to the flagship level.

24+4 power supply, 2640MHz, and the number of heat pipes was also more than ordinary ones.

The selling price was generally over 17,000 yuan.

She hurriedly sent a message to Liu Shuaibo: "Shuaibo, how much is this graphics card? I see the online quotes are very expensive, do I need to make up the money?"

This 14,000 was already her limit; if she added another 3,000, she would have to consider selling her beloved cosplay costumes to recover her blood.

"Ding-dong—"

【Liu Shuaibo: "Hey, I'm doing well in Shenzhen, have internal channels to get goods, the price is generally much cheaper than the market. Qingqing, if you are missing any parts for assembling the machine, contact me anytime, CPU, power supply, etc., can all be arranged for you."】

Hearing this, Xu Qing instantly breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Thank you, Shuaibo!"

Putting down the phone, Xu Qing beamed with joy, looking at the big guy in her hand, her mind couldn't help but start running wild.

When Tang Song receives this gift tomorrow, he will definitely be moved to tears and cry bitterly.

What investment, it's all a small case!

In the quiet living room, laughter of "hehehe" and excited stomping sounds rang out from time to time.

After a long while, Xu Qing coughed twice and opened another package.

Taking out a set of Raiden Shogun cosplay costumes from inside.

This was a costume she pre-ordered from a netizen a month ago, 700 yuan, which was considered very cheap.

The clothes were quite light and soft, and it wouldn't be stuffy to wear in summer; the shoulder blades were leather, with fine flashes, and it was made quite exquisitely.

The Vision was quite three-dimensional, and the accessories were also very restored.

Unable to hold back her playfulness, she put it on immediately and put on makeup.

Feeling it carefully and looking in the mirror, she still found many small problems.

For example, the waist seal was too soft and easy to wrinkle, the fabric wasn't good enough, the support was poor, and there was color difference.

However, being able to get it at this price, she was already very satisfied.

After playing for a while, Xu Qing picked up the 4090 graphics card and made a gesture of giving a gift with both hands in front of the mirror.

It looked quite good like this, but the premise was that there were no people around!

Or in suitable places like comic exhibitions, theme parks, and video game cities.

If she really wore these clothes to eat at a restaurant with Tang Song, it would be about the same as pooping on the street! Social death!

How could she, the dignified lawyer Xu Qing, leave such a dark history!

Thinking about it, she clicked on Tang Song's WeChat, sent the address for tomorrow's meal, and left a message: "The time is 7 PM, because I get off work late, and have to go home to change clothes."

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

【Tang Song: "Alright, by the way, can I specify the cosplay character?"】

Xu Qing instantly puffed up her cheeks and said angrily: "No, after all, it's a public place, need to consider personal image."

【Tang Song: "When are you free, send a few more cosplay photos. I'm learning photography recently, just bought a mirrorless camera, I'll study it well, and make an appointment with you later."】

Xu Qing's face instantly turned red, her fingers poked the screen forcefully, typing: "Not convenient, I only make appointments with girls."

Hmph! Don't I, Xu Qing, need face!?

Just about to click send.

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

【Tang Song: "Red envelope"】

【Tang Song: "Red envelope"】

…

Xu Qing's heart jumped, hurriedly opened the red envelopes, each was 200, a total of 5, instantly credited with 1,000 yuan.

Recovered blood!

Xu Qing's eyes were bright.

Directly opened the camera, "click click" took a bunch of photos, then selected the most beautiful ones from inside and sent them over.
