Chapter 208

June 6, 2023, Tuesday, cloudy, 23~33°C.

Zhuxiyuan Residential Community.

"Ding-a-ling—" The alarm clock rang.

Gao Mengting opened her hazy eyes, stayed dazed for a while, and only then sat up from the bed.

While yawning, she stretched a big stretch.

The thin summer quilt slid off her body, revealing her naked body.

Her skin was crystal clear and delicate, her figure tall and straight without losing softness, and her curves were smooth.

The B+ cup on her chest unfolded with her movements.

After graduation, having her own room, coupled with high work pressure, she gradually developed the habit of sleeping naked.

This allowed her to better relax her body and quickly enter deep sleep.

She picked up her phone to check the time.

7:30.

Last night, she live-streamed until nearly 23:00, and by the time she fell asleep, it was already early morning.

However, all the effort was worth it.

Thinking of the current situation of Songmei Apparel, Gao Mengting instantly became spirited.

After the store passed the novice period assessment, the payment cycle was significantly shortened.

According to the current account data, the company had basically reached a break-even point.

That is to say, every transaction now could generate real profit.

As the company got on the right track, as a shareholder with 25% of the shares, she could also profit quite a bit.

Three years after graduation, she had experienced peaks, had also been deep in the valley, was betrayed by her best friend, and encountered quite a bit of ridicule.

Now that it was about to take off, it was hard for her not to be passionate.

She actually didn't have much ambition; she just hoped to gain a foothold in society and fight for appropriate rights and dignity for herself.

She liked money, but didn't have extreme desire, and wouldn't distort her beliefs for money.

More than anything, she wanted to become an excellent person and also longed to come into contact with more excellent people.

Self-growth, finding her own value, working hard to make money, reading more books, managing her emotions well, and strengthening her inner self.

This was the path she had always been practicing.

Of course, looking at it now, her equity in Songmei Apparel would be much more valuable than she imagined.

Thinking of that partner who often smiled, Gao Mengting couldn't help but chuckle.

Her eyes were flashing with crystal-clear reverie.

After being dazed for a while, she got up and put on her clothes.

Pushing open the bedroom door, she saw her junior schoolmate doing yoga in the living room, her body bent into an exaggerated arc.

As expected of someone from an art background, the flexibility of her body was truly enviable.

Gao Mengting leaned her body against the door frame and smiled: "Qiuqiu, morning."

"Good morning, Senior!" Cheng Qiuqiu hurriedly stopped her movements, turned around to look at her, "When I was doing my morning exercise, I bought breakfast on the way and put it in the microwave in the kitchen; you can heat it up and eat it."

"Thanks." Gao Mengting walked toward the kitchen, and when she passed Cheng Qiuqiu, she subconsciously looked at her.

A look of envy flashed in her eyes.

34D, a waist-to-hip ratio of less than 0.7, honey thighs.

This junior schoolmate's figure was truly well-endowed; no wonder she was so popular in university.

Then, Gao Mengting subconsciously looked at her own chest, and the corners of her eyes twitched.

She could only say that her talent was indeed not prominent enough.

Sitting at the dining table, she ate breakfast while looking at the store's backend data on her phone.

Cheng Qiuqiu, who had finished yoga, washed up simply and sat down opposite her.

"Senior, I asked for a day off on Friday to go to Modu, and I'll be back on Sunday afternoon."

Gao Mengting raised her head in surprise, then said with a look of sudden realization: "Modu International Film Festival? Su Yu?"

"Yes, it's being held from June 9th to 18th." Cheng Qiuqiu nodded, a joyful smile appearing on her face: "It just so happens that I get paid on the 8th, so I'm going over to play for a few days, which counts as the last indulgence before graduation. I booked a very expensive hotel not far from the Modu Grand Theater; it's said that Su Yu also stayed there before."

Her internship salary wasn't high, only a little over 3,000.

Fortunately, from time to time, alumni would find her for private work, so she could save some money.

For example, that motorcycle worth over 20,000, and this time renting the house, were all money she earned herself.

Previously promising Liu Wenning to perform at the music restaurant was also to earn more money to better enjoy this trip.

Gao Mengting blinked and teased: "I remember you saying that you have a high school classmate you are very close with at the Modu Theater Academy; you aren't going over this time specifically to see him, are you?"

She and Cheng Qiuqiu were three years apart, mainly getting to know each other because of private work, so they didn't actually understand each other deeply.

Moreover, this junior schoolmate's personality was a bit cold and slow to warm up; living together for more than a month, it was only in the last few days that the two had truly become harmonious.

"That's not it." Cheng Qiuqiu shook her head with a smile, "Seeing him is just incidental; it's mainly to support Su Yu."

Then, she lay on the table, curved her eyebrows and eyes, and said: "Xu An and I are both fans of Su Yu, but his musical talent and acting talent are outstanding; he has already debuted and participated in a costume drama as the second male lead, which can be considered a small hit. Now he is going to release an album, which is very impressive. I plan to ask him this time if he can help me get Su Yu's signed photo."

"Xu An?" Gao Mengting's eyes showed contemplation, it sounded somewhat familiar.

Cheng Qiuqiu reminded her: "Zhang Chengjun in 'Pear Blossoms First Snow'."

"Oh! I remember now." Gao Mengting smiled: "No wonder you were chasing dramas in the living room every day before, and even recommending them to others on your Moments."

"Supporting a friend, you know. I'm counting on him to become a big hit and then take me to see Su Yu."

…

Just as the two were chatting, Gao Mengting's phone suddenly rang.

She answered the phone, "Hello, A-Wei."

"Yes, yes, I won't forget; I'll arrive at the West District 20 minutes early to meet up with you all!"

"Alright, thanks."

She hung up the phone.

Cheng Qiuqiu asked: "Senior, is it that university student entrepreneurship activity?"

"Yes, I have to attend for the whole day today; quite a few classmates from Yancheng University will go, it's quite lively." Gao Mengting put down her chopsticks and started to pack things up.

Although the scale of this 【University Student Entrepreneurship Assistance Meeting】 wasn't large, it was very useful.

The official side could provide quite a bit of help, such as finance, law, venue leasing, personnel social security, etc.

Songmei Apparel's subsequent warehouse leasing and employee recruitment could all receive a certain amount of help.

Letting the official side help bridge the gap to rent a logistics park warehouse with a good location and convenient transportation at a lower price.

Most of those attending were university student entrepreneurial enterprises that had some achievements, and they also needed to have their qualifications approved a month in advance.

Her classmate from the same year, Ding Jiawei, happened to be working in the incubation base.

It was also through this layer of relationship that she could directly skip the approval process and successfully participate.

Coming to the bedroom, she sat in front of the dressing table.

After finishing her makeup, Gao Mengting pulled open her jewelry box and took out an "LV bracelet" from inside.

This was a small gift Tang Song suddenly gave her last night; besides that, there was also an "LV silk scarf".

Looking at the exquisite and beautiful bracelet, Gao Mengting couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

Like-minded friends, partners moving upward together, young and handsome partners, men who are tactful and interesting.

……

wWW? tTkдn? ￠o

9:30 AM.

University Student Entrepreneurship and Employment Incubation Base.

Banners were hung high, printed with the theme and slogans of the activity.

Colorful balloons and ribbons were intertwined, and a huge LED display screen was scrolling through the previews and related information of the activity.

As the time approached, the flow of cars and people gradually increased.

Outside the West District Activity Building.

Several alumni from Yancheng University gathered together.

"I heard Gao Mengting's company is now in Yunxi Building, is that true or false?"

"It's true, I have Mengting as a friend, I've seen the Moments she posted, 1 million in paid-in registered capital, 30th-floor office in Yunxi Building."

"It's in partnership with others, she only holds 25% of the shares."

"That's also very good, unlike us, still renting workstations in the incubation park."

…

The center of the topic mainly revolved around Gao Mengting.

Mainly because she was pitted by two roommates before, and then made a comeback, which was truly very story-like.

A girl patted Ding Jiawei on the shoulder, "Jiawei, I remember you liked Mengting back in university, let me give you a piece of advice: take advantage of the time before her entrepreneurship takes off to confess and win her over."

"Hey, hey, hey, Wenwen, I also like junior Mengting very much."

"I like her too, everyone compete fairly!"

In an instant, several more boys started to jeer.

Gao Mengting was very outstanding back in university, considered a well-known person in the school.

Vice President of the Student Union, beautiful appearance, excellent personality, excellent grades, earned over 100,000 doing part-time jobs, bought a Wuling Hongguang, started a business doing clothing…

From the beginning of university, she was never short of excellent pursuers around her.

Thinking of this outstanding female classmate, Ding Jiawei's eyes also revealed longing and expectation.

He was also in the Student Union back in university, and his relationship with Gao Mengting had always been very good.

However, at that time, he was relatively less confident and didn't have the courage to pursue her, only daring to care about her from time to time on WeChat, or finding her to chat through work relationships.

After graduation, he used connections to join the Yancheng Entrepreneurship and Employment Incubation Base, and through his own efforts, it took him 3 years to finally become a project manager from a specialist in the incubation service department last week.

It was also because of the promotion that he took the initiative to contact Gao Mengting and invite her to participate in this activity.

The original intention was to show off his current connections and energy, hoping to use this to contact her more and gain her favor.

Especially since Gao Mengting had just started her business, his position was very helpful to her.

For example, connecting to bank loans, human resources, legal services, etc.

The best result naturally was that her career achieved success with his help, and the two naturally came together.

Just as he was letting his imagination run wild, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

Seeing the caller information.

Ding Jiawei hurriedly answered the phone and pressed the receiver tightly against his ear, "Hello, Mengting."

"Yes, yes, yes, you just follow the location I sent to come over, there are internal parking spaces here, I'm saving one for you!"

"Yes, I'm right on the steps by the roadside, you'll see me as soon as you come over!"

"Alright, bye~"

He hung up the phone.

A boy asked: "A-Wei, is Mengting arriving soon?"

"Yes, two or three minutes." Ding Jiawei took a deep breath and tidied his hairstyle in the reflection of the darkened phone screen.

Side-parted hair, sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, plus this high-end business suit.

Looking at the other male classmates, his self-confidence suddenly exploded.

The once-insecure "A-Wei" was already dead; the current self was a project manager at the University Student Entrepreneurship and Employment Incubation Base.

Sunlight spilled down through the thick cloud layer.

Ding Jiawei straightened his body, looking ahead with a calm gaze, waiting for the arrival of Gao Mengting.

Immediately after, he saw a black Mercedes E driving slowly.

The passenger window slowly rolled down, revealing a fresh and beautiful face.

Claw clip hairstyle, white shirt, swan neck, very goddess-like temperament.

Several boys in the crowd instantly widened their eyes, either boldly or secretly sizing up this great beauty.

"Brother Ding, can we park the car here?" Shen Yu Yan had a shallow smile on her face, her bright, watery eyes looking at Ding Jiawei.

Her voice was very pleasant, soft, and healing.

Ding Jiawei instantly felt his legs go soft, and he hurriedly stepped forward to remove the plastic cone blocking the parking space, saying: "Yes, you can park here, Yu Yan!"

Shen Yu Yan nodded with a chuckle to thank him.

It was too sunny at noon, and this place was right next to the entrance of the activity venue, which was very convenient.

Parking spaces were generally reserved for leaders, but if you had connections, you could park inside.

As a beauty, Shen Yu Yan naturally knew how to use her advantages.

Soon, Li Meixia in the driver's seat maneuvered the Mercedes E to reverse into the parking space.

A male classmate asked in a low voice: "Jiawei, who is this beauty? Do you know her?"

Ding Jiawei raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "She is from the same year as us, the school beauty of Yancheng University of Science and Technology, Shen Yu Yan."

"Holy crap! So she is Shen Yu Yan!"

"I was wondering why she looked so familiar; she's even more beautiful in person than in photos!"

"Really beautiful, she looks so awesome, perfectly hitting my aesthetic!"

…

The noisy discussion lasted for a while, and with the opening of the Mercedes E's door, it stopped abruptly.

Immediately after, she was wearing a pure cotton beige shirt, a gray hip-hugging skirt, and nude high heels.

Her slender, snow-white legs were exposed, echoing her fresh and beautiful face.

Paired with the atmospheric Mercedes car behind her, she looked elegant, sexy, and pleasing to the eye.

Shen Yu Yan took a few steps forward, raising the corners of her lips and saying: "Brother Ding, I heard that there are 4 investment institutions participating in this activity, have they all arrived?"

"Yes, they are currently in the East District lounge, our big leaders are receiving them."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Ding."

Ding Jiawei subconsciously shifted his gaze, somewhat afraid to look directly into her eyes.

He still dared to have thoughts about Gao Mengting because she was down-to-earth, had a gentle and introverted personality, and didn't have such flamboyant charm.

But facing this school beauty Shen, his most intuitive feeling was.

Not in the same league, impossible, a toad wanting to eat swan meat.

"Hum-hum—" The sound of the engine accompanied by the sound of tires crushing the ground rang out.

A flash of bright white shook into their line of sight.

Glancing over inadvertently, they saw a Bentley slowly approaching.

The lines of the car body were elegant and atmospheric, like an exquisite work of art, and the high-end car paint reflected the surrounding scenery.

The Bentley car logo on the front of the car shone brightly in the morning sun, dazzling.

Immediately after, the driver's door was gently pushed open.

A beautiful figure walked out.

Clean and light makeup, setting off exquisite and soft features.

Light mature and fashionable workplace attire, posture tall and elegant.

Her thick and fluffy brown long hair was tied up with a fashionable and silky LV hairband.

The crystal ornaments on her wrist were flowing with light and color.

On her black bag, the Chanel logo was flashing.

She was surrounded by a high-end atmosphere, dazzling.

Of course, more importantly, the noble and eye-catching Bentley Continental next to her.

"Da, da, da—" Leather shoes stepped on the stone road, Gao Mengting smiled at several familiar alumni: "Classmates, long time no see."

Ding Jiawei swallowed his saliva, his heart pounding, and his voice was dry: "Mengting, you're here."

Shen Yu Yan, who was preparing to leave on the side, raised her eyebrows.

Is it her? Gao Mengting?

Immediately, her gaze turned to the Bentley next to her, and she pursed her lips tightly.

Her eyes were flashing with complex light.

……

Shengyuan Jiajing is located in the central area of the Qiaoxi District of Yancheng.

Surrounded by mature community facilities and rich natural landscapes.

Adjacent to parks and subways, there are 3 commercial streets within 1 kilometer.

Quiet amidst the noise, it is a rare community with a villa area within the city, and it is also a famous high-end community in Yancheng, a gathering place for the rich.

Following the agent from Anjia Real Estate through the community, they arrived in front of the townhouse.

The east unit of Building 6, with a garden on three sides.

Pushing open the gate.

The agent in his 30s said respectfully: "Mr. Tang, this is your 360-square-meter townhouse corner unit. Facing south, located in the core area of the community, quiet, private..."

Following the agent's introduction, Tang Song wandered around inside the villa.

The property area was only 360 square meters, and the gifted courtyard, basement, terrace, and sky garden were not included in the statistics, so the actual usable area was much larger.

Although the community was built over 10 years ago, the building was very well maintained.

The exterior design combined the simple lines of modern architecture with the warm texture of traditional architecture, with large areas of dark floor-to-ceiling windows and natural stone exterior walls, looking very beautiful.

The overall decoration style adopted a modern minimalist style, mainly in neutral tones, paired with wooden elements, and the walls used warm beige latex paint.

High-end materials, luxurious decoration.

The villa had 3 floors above ground and two floors underground, with an elevator inside.

The first floor only had one elder room/guest room, decorated warmly and atmospherically, with an independent bathroom.

The open kitchen was connected to the dining room, and the kitchen used high-end custom cabinets and integrated appliances.

The central island used granite material, and the dining room was equipped with a solid wood dining table that could accommodate 10 people.

Next to the floor-to-ceiling windows, a comfortable fabric sofa set surrounded a low coffee table, and opposite was a simple and atmospheric TV wall.

The second floor had 3 bedrooms in total; the master bedroom was a large suite with an independent cloakroom, terrace, sofa, coffee table…

The third floor, besides the audio-visual room, also had a multi-functional room, which could be used as a game room, studio, or extra guest room.

The sky garden was located at the top of the third floor, which was a spacious outdoor space.

The ground was paved with anti-corrosion wood flooring, and comfortable outdoor chairs and coffee tables were placed, which was very suitable for leisure barbecues and raising some flowers and plants.

The basement level 1 led directly to the underground parking lot, with a separate entrance door and entrance cloakroom.

Besides that, there was an entertainment and leisure area, a fully equipped private gym…

The basement level 2 was a multi-functional storage room and wine cellar.

…

After finishing the tour completely, Tang Song stood on the terrace on the 3rd floor, gazing forward through the bright floor-to-ceiling windows, and took a deep breath.

The value of this villa was definitely over 20 million, and the luxury of the decoration exceeded his expectations, and it would be much simpler to renovate.

As long as he made adjustments to the gym, audio-visual room, and master bedroom according to Wen Ruan's preferences, it would definitely make her like it so much she couldn't close her legs.
