Chapter 251: My girlfriend is Su Yu

~19 min read 3,681 words

On the 101 bus.

Yao Lingling sat in a seat near the back door, staring blankly at the scenery outside the window.

She was still clutching two large bags in her hands and had a backpack on her back.

Her home was located around Yancheng, and she could reach it by taking two buses.

However, because the location was too remote, it took a long time to get to the Yuhua Business Building where Shangya Apparel was located.

So she and her roommates rented a house in the Xingchen Garden Residential Complex.

After Zhang Jiahong moved out some time ago, she had already contacted several alumni; two of them were interested, but their leases hadn't expired yet.

It would probably take until next month to decide whether to move in.

Hearing the station announcement from the speakers, Yao Lingling quickly woke up from her memories and hurriedly stood up to go to the door.

Immediately after, the vehicle arrived at the station, and the bus door opened.

Yao Lingling carried her large and small bags and walked out.

"Hoo~" A rolling heat wave rushed toward her face, and fine beads of sweat instantly soaked her forehead.

In 30-degree weather, it was still overcast, hot, and stuffy; it was truly hard to bear.

Placing the bags on the ground, Yao Lingling took out her phone from her jeans pocket to check.

Since it wasn't peak hours, the 39 bus she needed to transfer to would still take 15 minutes.

Immediately after, she saw a WeChat message from Li Shumin, asking her how much longer it would take.

Yao Lingling estimated the time and replied with a few sentences.

After thinking about it, she opened Tang Song's chat box and left a message: "Senior, I'll be at Xingchen Garden Residential Complex in about 50 minutes. I brought some delicious food from home; you're welcome to come over early to taste it."

After sending the message, she smiled and touched a white handbag at her feet.

Her family ran a tailor shop; bringing back samples and fabric this time was because she wanted to help Tang Song make two more sets.

For sportswear like this, often used for sweating and running, it was better to have a few more prepared.

This could also be considered a small surprise; after all, Senior Tang Song was so good to her, she had to have some return in her heart to feel okay.

While waiting for the bus, she listened to the discussions around her.

Her gaze swept around, and she couldn't help but sigh: "Su Yu is really coming."

Bus stop signs, 3D big screens, LED billboards, passersby's T-shirts...

In the past few days, as long as you walked on the streets of Yancheng, you could always see various advertisements about her.

She boarded the bus and successfully arrived at Xingchen Garden Residential Complex.

Just as she walked under Building 8, she saw a familiar figure walk out from under the shade of a tree.

Wearing a trendy casual outfit, Xiao Mingxuan had one hand in his pocket and a big smile on his face. "Hello Lingling, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to run into you here."

"Pfft—" Yao Lingling couldn't help but laugh out loud, her eyebrows curving. "I say, this is downstairs at my house; what kind of coincidence is that? Confess honestly! Did Damn Minmin tell you?"

"You really have no sense of humor at all." Xiao Mingxuan shook his head and reached out to her. "Knowing you brought a lot of things, Damn Minmin was worried you couldn't carry them, so she specifically dispatched me down to help."

"Alright, thank you then." Yao Lingling handed over a bag of fresh and cooked food she had brought from home.

She wasn't particularly surprised by Xiao Mingxuan's appearance here.

For a period of time recently, under Li Shumin's deliberate flattery, their relationship had become quite close.

From time to time, they would play games and eat together.

It had to be said that this colleague was truly a good person.

Although he was the boss's son, he was always kind in work and communication, and getting along with him was about the same as with a friend.

The two chatted as they went up to the 5th floor.

Opening the door to Room 501, they saw Li Shumin running over.

"Ah, Lingling, you're finally back! Two days! A full two days! I was all alone at night, so scared I couldn't even sleep well!"

Xiao Mingxuan had a bright smile on his face. "Oh my, Damn Minmin, why didn't you say so earlier? I could have come over to keep you company! We could even have had a passionate duo-queue at night!"

Li Shumin's face turned bright red instantly, and she stammered, unable to speak.

She actually had a very good impression of this company boss's son.

However, she knew her own situation; her figure and looks weren't outstanding, so she didn't dare to express it.

The three sat on the sofa and chatted for a while.

Xiao Mingxuan ate the apple handed to him by Li Shumin and said with a smile: "Lingling, actually, I came over today because there's something I want to tell you."

"What is it?" Yao Lingling looked over in surprise.

"Snap~" Xiao Mingxuan snapped his fingers, leaned forward slightly, and said with burning eyes: "My dad and I had a good talk this weekend; the company plans to open a new business department and re-operate a clothing brand. I've been in the company for a while now, and my performance has been pretty good, so my dad wants to hand this matter over to me to be responsible for..."

Then, he began to state the company's business plan.

Shangya Apparel had developed to this day, and the brands it operated were all mid-to-low end.

If the company wanted to continue to develop, it had to break through upward.

The new brand was positioned as 【High-End Women's Wear】.

Gather the company's most outstanding designers and dig up an industry big shot to lead the team.

Managed by the designer team, not pursuing large-scale production and cost control, focusing on creativity and quality, adopting unique, innovative, and personalized design concepts and styles.

Through online media marketing, gradually build Shangya's own high-end strategic brand.

After saying all this, Xiao Mingxuan asked confidently and spiritedly: "How about it, Lingling? Do you want to consider it? This is a very good opportunity."

Li Shumin next to her felt her heart pounding, wishing she could agree instantly.

It was a pity she was just an assistant and had no achievements, so Young Master Xiao didn't look highly upon her.

Yao Lingling lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then gritted her teeth and shook her head: "I'm sorry, Mingxuan, I feel that my current level cannot reach that level. If I were to enter directly, I would definitely be gossiped about, and it would also have an impact on your and the company's reputation."

Shangya could already be considered a top clothing design company in Yancheng.

As the boss's only son, Xiao Mingxuan didn't doubt the feasibility and authenticity of this matter.

However, she was clearly aware of her own level and qualifications; if she were forced in, she would definitely attract gossip from colleagues.

She wasn't a fool, so she could naturally see that Xiao Mingxuan had those kinds of intentions toward her.

But since she didn't have those kinds of thoughts toward him, it was better not to owe too big a favor, so as to avoid making decisions that went against her heart later.

"Er..." Hearing her refusal, Xiao Mingxuan's face showed a look of astonishment. He was silent for a moment and said: "Let's do this, Lingling, you think about it again; there's no rush for this matter. I've already entrusted Deju Renhe to look for a designer big shot, and it's estimated that it won't be implemented until the end of next month."

Li Shumin next to her kicked Yao Lingling with her foot, her face flushed red. "Mm-hmm, that's right, Lingling, you think about it first, don't rush to make a decision."

You silly girl!

This was obviously a big project specifically created by the chairman to cultivate his son, and it would definitely invest a large amount of resources and connections in the future!

It might even be Shangya Apparel's core brand in the future.

You actually refused such a good thing that would lead to flying high and rising fast!?

Yao Lingling still wanted to say something more.

Xiao Mingxuan continued: "There's one more thing; the day after tomorrow is Su Yu's concert, and my friend's bar will hold a celebration event. Many people will gather together to watch the live broadcast, and they reserved a good spot for me. Let's go together then."

"Ah? That's great, then we must participate!" Li Shumin said enthusiastically: "Mingxuan, remember to send us the address later."

"OK! I'll definitely arrange everything for you by then."

Seeing Li Shumin so active, Yao Lingling had no choice but to nod with a smile: "Thank you, Mingxuan."

She was somewhat repelled by occasions like bars and had never been to one since she was a child.

However, she had already refused the other party's kindness once, and now she couldn't quite say it out loud.

The three chatted for a few more sentences.

Xiao Mingxuan checked his phone and smiled: "It's almost 6 o'clock; it's no problem for me to stay for a meal tonight, right?"

"Of course no problem! Welcome, welcome!" Li Shumin patted her small chest. "I'll cook myself; what do you want to eat?"

Just then, Xiao Mingxuan's phone suddenly rang.

Looking at the caller information, the expression on his face froze for a moment. After saying sorry, he pushed open the door and walked into the hallway.

After a few minutes, Xiao Mingxuan walked in with an awkward expression. "Sorry, I have an urgent matter, I have to go."

Li Shumin instantly showed a look of disappointment. "Alright, then I'll show you my cooking skills next time."

"Then let's go down to see you off." Yao Lingling was relieved.

This was just right; Tang Song was coming over later, and if Xiao Mingxuan were also here, it would be a bit awkward.

The three went downstairs along the stairs.

Li Shumin looked at the Porsche Cayenne in the parking space, her eyes shining.

This Young Master Xiao simply had no flaws!

A standard tall, rich, and handsome man, with such a good personality and career-mindedness.

If she could marry him, how happy her life would be.

"Lingling, you think about what I said before again; I truly appreciate your character and ability." Xiao Mingxuan gently opened the driver's door and sat in. "Bye-bye, I'm leaving first."

"Bye-bye, pay attention to safety on the road." "Bye-bye~"

Just then, the roar of an engine approached from far to near.

A black Ninja 400 approached quickly.

A happy smile instantly appeared on Yao Lingling's face, and she waved her hand forcefully. "Senior, over here!"

Immediately after, the motorcycle stopped slowly beside her.

Tang Song took off his helmet, a bright and handsome smile on his face. "Good afternoon, Lingling, Damn Minmin."

"Good afternoon, Senior." Yao Lingling stepped forward and naturally took his helmet. "I'll help you take it up."

"Senior, you're here." Li Shumin blinked, looking at this suddenly appearing Tang Song, and seemed to understand Yao Lingling's meaning.

She had to admit that this senior was indeed more handsome than Xiao Mingxuan.

Wearing a stylish light-colored casual outfit, one could see clear and sturdy muscle lines on his exposed arms.

A straight nose and thin lips, a tall and well-proportioned figure, and an excellent temperament.

Especially the way he drove the motorcycle over, it was really cool and charming.

Lingling clearly had a good impression of this senior!

"Boom boom boom—" The Porsche Cayenne started.

Xiao Mingxuan, sitting in the car, poked his head out of the car window. "Hey, buddy, make way, I'm leaving."

Tang Song nodded and parked the motorcycle on the side.

Watching the Porsche Cayenne disappear from sight, Li Shumin looked at Tang Song again.

She couldn't help but smack her lips; although the senior was very handsome and great, Young Master Xiao didn't seem bad either!

If she really had to choose...

Alright, that was a plot that would only happen in a novel.

Walking into the familiar rental house.

Yao Lingling put the helmet away and smiled: "Senior, I'll take you to try on the clothes first."

"Alright."

Immediately after, Tang Song followed her into the bedroom.

Yao Lingling took out a large white bag from the corner and pulled out sets of neatly folded clothes.

She said happily: "I had my parents help me make two more sets of this sportswear at home, and I also made a set of the jeans and shirts from before. They've all been washed clean; hurry up and try them on. I measured your figure in detail last time, so the size should be no problem."

Looking at the four sets of clothes on the bed, Tang Song was somewhat moved.

This little junior sister, whom he hadn't known for long, was truly a good person and very attentive to his affairs.

He picked up a set of 【Infinite Vitality】, a faint scent of laundry detergent rushed into his nasal cavity, and he touched the dense and neat stitches, saying seriously: "Thank you, Lingling, you've worked hard."

Yao Lingling smiled happily and said boldly: "What's there to be polite about! Senior has also given me a lot of help; if you really want to thank me, just accompany me to test drive the Ninja 400 more later."

Tang Song nodded readily and looked at her: "No problem, I'll guide you well!"

He had been instilled with the 【Motorcycle Driving Experience Book】 by the system, so his driving level was definitely nothing to complain about.

Their eyes met, and Yao Lingling's face instantly turned a bit red; she couldn't help but think of the experience on the back seat of his motorcycle last time.

"Then Senior, you try on the clothes first, I'll go out to prepare dinner."

"Alright, you've worked hard."

"Click—" The bedroom door was gently closed.

Tang Song took off his clothes and put on the sets one by one.

Black sports underwear, dark gray sports T-shirt, black sports shorts, gray breathable sports shoes.

From the direction of the stitching, the detailed decorations, to the style of the buttons, and then to the fabric, the clothes were made completely according to his sketch.

Only the shoes had a small difference because he bought them himself, but it shouldn't affect much.

Opening the system interface, entering the 【Dress-up Center】, selecting 【Dress-up - Infinite Vitality】, and wearing it immediately.

An orange light flashed.

【Current dress-up fit 100%, all effects in effect 100%】

In an instant, a burst of cool and relaxed feeling surged up.

Stamina +2, Agility +4, Get!

A smile of excitement rose on Tang Song's face; he did a few push-ups on the spot to feel the 100% effect of 【Infinite Vitality】.

The stamina bonus was more obvious, and the sweat-absorbing and breathable effect was also super nice.

Although 90% and 100% were only a 10% difference, he could still feel the gap; there should be some hidden buff.

Putting the other clothes back into the packaging bag, Tang Song scanned this small bedroom.

It was about 12 square meters; although the renovation was very poor, it was kept neat and tidy, and there were many stickers and wallpapers for decoration.

Tang Song's gaze fell on the desk, where there was a large stack of drawing paper and some drawing tools.

He curiously flipped through two sheets; they were all clothing design drafts, among which were the sketches he had sent.

It could be seen that Yao Lingling was truly an attentive girl.

Immediately after, Tang Song blinked and looked at one of the sketches in surprise.

It was actually the scene from when he and Yao Lingling went out riding together that day.

The quiet street, the streetlights, him wearing 【Summer Honey Words】, the dynamic Ninja 400...

Looking at it like this, it was really handsome.

Tang Song narcissistically appreciated it for a while, took another photo, and then put the sketch back.

Walking out of the bedroom door, he immediately smelled the pungent aroma of meat.

The range hood in the kitchen was "buzzing," accompanied by the sound of a spatula hitting the pot.

Tang Song walked to the kitchen door and saw Yao Lingling, who was busy.

Seeming to feel the gaze, Yao Lingling turned her head and said happily: "Not bad, the clothes are super fitting, and you look especially handsome!"

"Still Lingling's level is high."

"Haha, thank you for the compliment!" Yao Lingling pointed to the dishes on the cupboard. "The meal will be ready soon; these were all made by my mom at home. There's braised pork, soy sauce beef, pepper-numbing chicken, and steamed alkaline buns; they're delicious."

Smelling the fragrance drifting out and looking at the busy Yao Lingling, a big smile appeared on Tang Song's face. "Then I must have a good taste."

This junior sister was truly a good person, cheerful, generous, and sincere; as long as he was with her, he could feel the kindness and warmth she released.

Li Shumin, who came out of the bathroom, said with a smile: "Auntie's cooking is indeed delicious; our dormitory used to often go to Lingling's house to mooch meals."

The meal was quickly set on the table.

The reddish-brown braised pork shone with an oily luster, melting in the mouth, fat but not greasy.

The soy sauce beef with clear texture was firm and elastic, salty and fragrant, with a rich sauce flavor.

The rice-yellow alkaline buns were heavy, the flour fragrance mixed with a faint alkaline smell, getting more fragrant the more one chewed.

After the meal, Tang Song felt very comfortable.

Looking at the little junior sister opposite, he asked: "Lingling, you two are free on Tuesday night, right?"

Li Shumin blinked and said in surprise: "Senior Tang Song, you don't mean Su Yu's concert, do you?"

Yao Lingling's heart jumped, and she also thought Tang Song was asking her out to play.

Tang Song nodded and smiled: "Yes, that's 【2023 Su Yu Concert】, do you want to participate?"

Another junior sister, Zhang Jiahong, lived near the North Second Ring Road, not far from the Olympic Sports Center.

He was looking forward to seeing what expressions the 3 junior sisters would have when they knew they could watch the live performance.

A happy expression appeared on Yao Lingling's face. "We're free; everyone probably won't be in the mood to work overtime that day, they'll all be thinking about watching the concert."

Compared to going to a bar with Xiao Mingxuan and the others, she preferred watching the live broadcast with this handsome and gentle senior.

Seeing Yao Lingling's expression, Li Shumin bit her lip.

Since Lingling didn't want to go to the bar with Young Master Xiao, she would reluctantly go and enjoy it alone!

"Reporting to Senior!" Li Shumin said seriously: "I've already made an appointment with my colleagues to go to the bar that day; I wish you a good time."

"Oh, alright." Tang Song nodded. "Then what about Jiahong?"

Yao Lingling smiled: "She's Su Yu's die-hard fan; I asked before, and she plans to go to the stadium to cheer that day."

"Then that's just right, wait for me a moment." Tang Song stood up and went to the entryway, took out two ticket invitations from his backpack, and placed them in front of her. "These are two consecutive seats; you two go together, it can be considered having company."

"Er?" Yao Lingling was a bit confused. "What do you mean?"

Immediately after, her eyes widened a circle, and her body began to tremble slightly. "This is... no way? This is a concert ticket?"

Tang Song nodded. "Mm, you can redeem the electronic ticket by scanning the code, VIP inner field, the position is very forward, I wish you a good time."

Li Shumin next to her was stunned for a moment and immediately picked up the invitation.

Looking at the lines of text on it, her face turned red and white, feeling a chill in her heart.

Was what Tang Song just asked really about attending the concert?

This was a ticket to Su Yu's concert! Inner field area, 2688 yuan selling price.

The key was that this kind of thing couldn't be bought just because one wanted to; she had seen people show off this kind of invitation online.

Only partners and celebrity artists had the opportunity to get them.

If it were really taken outside to sell, it would probably be no problem to flip it ten times.

"This... this is too valuable." Yao Lingling shook her head crazily. "I don't dare to accept it, Senior, don't scare me."

Tang Song said sincerely: "You made so many sets of clothes for me, and today I also ate the meal your mom made; I'm quite grateful, take it."

Yao Lingling felt dizzy and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Li Shumin's lips trembled, and she asked incredibly: "Se... Senior, how did you get this kind of invitation?"

Even a rich second generation like Xiao Mingxuan could only watch the live broadcast at a bar outside the venue with his friends.

This "plain-looking" senior actually had such awesome connections?

Tang Song raised his eyebrows, a bright smile on his face. "Su Yu is my girlfriend; the invitation was given to me by her."

Su Yu would arrive in Yancheng tomorrow afternoon, meet with her agent Mo Xiang Wan the day after, and then the concert would open.

For this 【Female Celebrity】 he had cultivated in the game, he was full of expectations. ===== CHAPTER 252 =====
