Chapter 278: Sister Wen Ruan, Call Me Brother!

~21 min read 4,132 words

The private room fell into a strange silence.

Feeling the gazes being cast over.

Wen Ruan's left hand, which was originally on Tang Song's thigh, subconsciously exerted force, and her breathing gradually became rapid.

She turned her head to look at Tang Song's handsome side profile, her pupils trembling.

When Sun Simin and Zhou Bo first met, she was still at Xingyun International Group.

Naturally, she knew the situation of Bocai Yingrui Consulting Management Co., Ltd.

This is not some "wild chicken" consulting company, but a true leading enterprise in the domestic human resources consulting field.

It is a vice-chairman unit of the Management Consulting Committee of the China Enterprise Confederation and once won the Gold Award for Achievements in the "China Human Resources Management Award"...

Relying on the powerful shareholders behind it, it has built a huge network of talent and connections.

Its clients include central enterprises, multinational companies, Fortune 500 companies, and emerging internet giants like Meigou Technology.

Especially in the last two years, with the development of the company, besides human resources consulting, it has also carried out consulting businesses such as strategic planning, organizational control, and marketing.

These were all things her good best friend Sun Simin had said in the group chat.

After all, it was her husband's unit, and she didn't praise it less often.

Sun Simin even suggested two days ago that if she couldn't get into Xingyun International, she would let Zhou Bo push her resume to the company's talent pool and try her best to help her match with a good job in Yancheng.

It's just that she never expected that the 25-year-old little brother she met on a blind date in Yancheng would actually be a shareholder of this company.

The impact brought by this matter was even more shocking than his large open-plan apartment.

From the handsome rich second generation driving a BMW 330 at the beginning, to the young talent driving a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, starting a business, and being a part-time CTO, to the shareholder of Bocai Yingrui today.

Tang Song refreshed her cognition once again.

Of course, it wasn't just her.

One could tell from the expressions of Zheng Jinpeng, Li Meng, Wang Jiao, and others.

Uneasy, unbelievable, awkward...

These people, even Li Qingqing who had company shares, were still in the category of wage earners.

As long as the major shareholder wants to, those 5% of shares can be diluted or hollowed out at any time.

And Tang Song, as a shareholder and boss of Bocai Yingrui, represents capital and a huge network of connections.

This is a gap in true social class.

It is a chasm that is difficult to cross.

Tang Song's gaze swept over the crowd, a warm smile appearing on his face, "So Brother Bo is also an employee of Bocai Yingrui; I heard Ruanruan mention before that you work in a management consulting company, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. In fact, I have been in the R1 conference room of Bocai Yingrui for the past few days, interviewing candidates."

The protagonists today were still Zhou Bo and Sun Simin; after all, the couple was getting married soon, and one of them was her girlfriend's best friend.

Tang Song didn't really treat the other party as an employee.

Zhou Bo, with a dry mouth, opened his mouth, his brain a mess, and finally only managed to spit out a sentence with difficulty: "I... I took marriage leave, and just happened not to be in the company."

Marriage is a big event, and in every aspect, he, the groom, needs to participate.

In order to take this long leave, he worked overtime continuously for a long time.

Annual leave + marriage leave, totaling one week, just happened to miss the node when Tang Song came to the company.

"Marriage is the most important thing; next time I go to the company, let's have a good chat." Tang Song gently patted Wen Ruan's back, "And Sister Simin and Ruanruan are best friends; in the future, we will have plenty of opportunities, and you are also welcome to come to Yancheng to play after your wedding."

As a boyfriend with good emotional intelligence, Tang Song naturally knew what to say at such a time.

"Alright! Alright!" Zhou Bo pursed his lips and nodded continuously.

After all, having worked in a consulting company for so many years, even if he was introverted, his mental quality was still very strong.

It was just that the impact of "Best Man = Boss" was too sudden for him, so he was a bit out of sorts for a moment.

"Thank you, Tang Song, thank you, Ruanruan!" Sun Simin, who was standing there, had her eyes wide open.

Her hands were subconsciously clasped tightly together, trembling slightly, and her chest heaved violently with the ups and downs of her emotions.

She tried hard to suppress the wave of joy that was about to gush out.

"Sister Simin, don't be so polite." Tang Song smiled and shook his head, "Everyone sit down, let's continue eating."

"Alright, Tang Zong!" Zhang Zhiyong pulled Zhou Bo, and the two hurriedly sat down.

Their bodies were straight, and their expressions were uneasy and excited.

"Come, come, come, Tang Song, this Northeast 'One Pot Out' corn cake is especially sweet and fragrant, try it quickly." Sun Simin rotated the glass turntable on the table and said with a smile, "Ruanruan, pour a drink for your husband quickly."

"Uh..." Wen Ruan's mouth moved, and a thin layer of blush rose on her face, "Simin, can you speak properly."

The address "husband" was truly too... heart-stirring for her.

"Haha, you're shy now, I'm just joking." Sun Simin gave her a wink.

As a best friend for many years, how could she not know Wen Ruan's thoughts? She was just pretending to be reserved.

Tang Song smiled, winked at Wen Ruan, and handed his cup over.

He really wanted to hear the big sister call him that in person.

But there were too many people now, and Wen Ruan definitely wouldn't be able to let go.

Wen Ruan glanced at him, carried a shallow smile on her face, and generously poured him a glass of fruit juice.

Immediately after, she felt Tang Song's hand put on her thigh, moving dishonestly.

Wen Ruan shifted her gaze and began to pick up food for herself, appearing as if she hadn't noticed anything.

It was just that her feet under the table kicked him from time to time, reminding him not to go too far.

The two of them secretly engaged in some intimate little actions, silently feeling the little fun between lovers.

Looking at the smile on Wen Ruan's slightly red pretty face, Zheng Jinpeng pursed his lips, and the last trace of obsession in his heart was let go.

The white moonlight of his college days had finally found her own happiness.

No matter from which aspect, Tang Song was an impeccable object.

And he was also much, much better than himself.

Then he wished her eternal happiness and joy.

Zheng Jinpeng smiled, picked up the beer on the table, took the initiative to toast Tang Song, raised his head, and drank several gulps "gudu gudu."

Li Qingqing looked at his expression, then looked at Tang Song, and lowered her head silently.

Even if she didn't want to, she had to admit that she was indeed very jealous of Wen Ruan.

She was jealous of her in college, and even more jealous of her now.

She seemed to always be so dazzling and popular.

The streetlights outside the window were getting brighter, and the night was getting deeper.

The atmosphere at the dining table gradually relaxed.

Zhou Bo and Sun Simin chatted in low voices for a few sentences and said with some embarrassment, "Tang Zong, for tomorrow's wedding, if you are busy, there's no need for you to be my best man; it just so happens that Zhiyong is here now."

Tang Song put down his chopsticks and smiled, "Brother Bo, we are not in the company now, no need to keep using honorifics. Ruanruan is the bridesmaid for Sister Simin, and I'll be the best man; it's very appropriate, you don't need to be polite."

He couldn't give Wen Ruan a real, open, and honest wedding, so he would experience the wedding scene with Wen Ruan in this capacity.

Then he would build a dream copy, letting this big sister fulfill her dream as much as possible.

Later, there would be trusts, villas, and cultivation plans; he believed that little by little, he would make her truly relieved.

"Thank you, Tang Song, then we won't be polite with you!" Sun Simin beamed with joy instantly.

This is her husband's boss; having the other party be the best man and appear at the wedding, those few leaders from Bocai Yingrui attending the wedding would probably have wild thoughts.

Moreover, Tang Song is Wen Ruan's boyfriend after all.

She had the best relationship with Wen Ruan in college, and the two were basically inseparable.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to work at the same company.

After Wen Ruan left the Imperial Capital, she also kept in contact with her, going to Yancheng to see her from time to time.

With this relationship, her husband Zhou Bo is really going to take off!

What a heaven-sent opportunity!

The total price of the house bought in the Imperial Capital was 4.7 million yuan, with a 30% down payment, and now there is a mortgage of nearly 20,000 yuan every month.

Although she fulfilled her dream of settling down in the Imperial Capital, the pressure was imaginable.

And in the future, there are parents to support, and she has to face the unemployment crisis at 35.

Now with Tang Song's existence, at least Zhou Bo's side is stable.

Not only can he continue to work at Bocai Yingrui, but he will also be promoted and get a raise, and even promoted to mid-to-high-level management.

It is equivalent to having a stable and steady future.

At 31 years old soon, she can finally prepare for pregnancy with peace of mind.

Even if she is transferred to a cold bench by the group leaders because of pregnancy, she doesn't need to worry or be afraid.

For their small family, this is the greatest happiness.

Thinking of this, Sun Simin's eyes shone with light as bright as stars, and she even smiled until wrinkles appeared on her face.

9 o'clock in the evening.

The group walked out of the Northeast restaurant.

The muggy air hit them instantly.

"Rest early tonight, as a bridesmaid, you have to get to the hotel at 6 tomorrow morning."

"Don't worry, I'm staying at Fengda International, it's very close to here."

The black Maybach S680 stopped steadily on the side of the road.

Wang Jiao held Wen Ruan's hand and looked at Tang Song who was standing by the car.

She pretended to joke, "Tang Song, our Ruanruan is dating a boyfriend for the first time, you can't bully her! Otherwise, we good sisters won't agree!"

"Absolutely not, and I won't let Ruanruan suffer any grievances."

Wang Jiao's gaze flickered slightly, and she smiled, "Also, you are the boss of Bocai Yingrui, specializing in human resources planning. You must help our Ruanruan arrange her career plan; this definitely won't be a problem, right."

"Of course, no problem, don't worry, Sister Jiao, I have it all in mind." Tang Song replied with a serious expression.

The reason why he hadn't arranged for Wen Ruan was mainly to wait for the 【Cultivation Plan Task】 after binding as a partner.

Having the system provide resources and strategies is far more reliable than doing it yourself.

"So good, you two are welcome to come to my house as guests later, bye-bye~"

"Bye-bye~" "Bye-bye, see you tomorrow."

"Ruanruan, Tang Song, see you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow."

After the group said goodbye to each other.

Watching the Maybach slowly drive away, a trace of worry flashed in Wang Jiao's eyes.

Sun Simin was too surprised and excited, so she hadn't seen it yet.

As Wen Ruan's best friend, she was much more sober.

From Wen Ruan's previous concealment of her boyfriend to the exposure of Tang Song's identity now.

Everything indicated the huge gap between the two.

The relationship between them definitely wasn't just what was shown.

25-year-old billionaire Tang Song and 30-year-old ordinary employee Wen Ruan.

It probably isn't that simple for them to truly walk together.

Sigh, I just hope my good sister can always be happy.

Fengda International Hotel.

The neon lights flickered with colorful light, and the night scene slowly unfolded like a mysterious and gorgeous scroll.

Tang Song, sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, crossed his legs and silently tasted the champagne in his hand.

He opened the system panel to check his personal information.

【Player: Tang Song (59' Charm)】

【Role: Songmei Apparel - President】

【Height: 184CM, Weight: 81KG】

【Constitution: 68, Stamina: 68, Agility: 65, Comprehension: 82】

【Asset Status:】

Balance: 126,000 yuan (Investment fund 195 million yuan)

Enterprises: Songmei Apparel (75% equity), SloverTrust, Huashang Apparel (35% equity), Bocai Yingrui (35% equity)

For the past few days, getting along with the big sister was completely in lover mode.

Except for the tens of thousands spent on buying clothes at the beginning, the rest of the time, their eating, drinking, and playing were all very ordinary, just like ordinary lovers.

In this familiar city of the Imperial Capital, he also experienced a different kind of tenderness.

It also significantly improved his emotional intelligence and cognition.

The charm score reached 59 as expected.

It was only 1 point away from unlocking the next stage of assets.

He believed that as long as he bound Wen Ruan as a 【Partner】 and obtained the other party's blessing buff, he could successfully achieve it.

With a charm of 60, he could already get the title of "Junior Male God" in the game, which was considered a milestone.

He didn't know if there would be a big surprise.

Looking at the pitiful balance, Tang Song opened the title 【The Popular Me】 to view the details.

【Current Cash Reward: 550,000 yuan (Total 21,800,000 yuan)】

Xiaohongshu fan count: 17,835.

Douyin fan count: 186,210.

In the past week, he hadn't updated any videos or dynamics, so the fan growth was very slow.

He had only accumulated 550,000 in earnings.

Click to withdraw.

【Balance: 676,000 yuan (Investment fund 195 million yuan)】

With this cash cow, his heart was full of a sense of security!

Closing the system interface, looking at the blurred city night scene and the bright night sky outside the window.

Tang Song opened his phone and took a photo.

He sent it to the white moonlight far away in Shencheng.

He left a message: "The moonlight is beautiful tonight."

Returning to this city, it was inevitable to think of the bits and pieces of the 3 years they spent together.

Walking together, eating, watching movies, chatting, holding hands, hugging...

It could be said that they were half-lovers.

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

Her reply was as fast as ever.

【Qingning: "On the night of June 30th, it was raining in Shencheng, I was still working overtime at the company, but the moon is beautiful, and the wind is gentle."】

Seeing the last two sentences, Tang Song's gaze lowered slightly.

He replied: "You haven't updated your Moments for a long time, I've almost forgotten what you look like, send a photo."

【Qingning: No. gif】

【Qingning: "And you are not allowed to send me videos! I'm so ugly right now!"】

Tang Song: "I'm actually more interested in your ugly photos."

【Qingning: Knocking dog head. gif】

After chatting with the white moonlight for a few sentences, Tang Song put down his phone and sighed.

Ever since her company in Shencheng stabilized, working overtime and staying up late had become the norm, and her schedule had also become irregular.

At the beginning, the two of them would video chat from time to time.

Later, he inadvertently teased her about the acne on her face and her rough skin.

Then Liu Qingning never updated her Moments again, never sent him photos, and never sent videos again.

She probably didn't want him to see her bad side.

Tang Song leaned on the single sofa, his gaze gradually becoming dazed.

Because their homes were close, the two of them had known each other since they were very young, but at first, their relationship wasn't particularly close.

It was mainly because Liu Qingning was truly too outstanding.

Since she was a child, she was the "child of someone else's family" in the mouths of parents.

He paced to the front of the restaurant and took out his phone from his pocket.

Li Meng opened her mouth wide in surprise, "Ruanruan, isn't that your boyfriend?"

She had just seen him in the photo, and she had a very deep impression. Although it was only a side profile, she could recognize him.

Immediately after, the others also reacted one after another.

Wang Jiao swallowed her saliva and said with some excitement, "Ruanruan, your boyfriend's ride is a Maybach?"

"This little wolf dog boyfriend of yours, could it be that he's a rich second generation?"

"A 25-year-old tall, rich, and handsome boyfriend, Ruanruan, you've secretly done something big!"

Li Qingqing's lips moved, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

At times like this, you don't need to say much; the Maybach S680 will speak for you.

Zheng Jinpeng's heart twitched slightly, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

"Ding-a-ling—" The phone ringtone sounded.

Wen Ruan answered the phone, raised her arm, and said loudly, "Look to the right!"

Immediately after, Tang Song, who was standing on the steps, turned around.

Their gazes met.

Bright smiles appeared on both of their faces at the same time.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Song stepped down the stairs and gathered face-to-face with Wen Ruan and the others.

"Good evening, everyone." Tang Song held the big sister's hand and greeted the group gently and politely.

"Good evening, Tang Song." "Hello."...

After simple pleasantries.

Wang Jiao, Liu Yang, and others looked at this "Wen Ruan's boyfriend" who had suddenly appeared, their eyes full of curiosity.

Facing each other at close range, they could feel the other party's outstanding appearance even more.

Handsome features, a height of about 185 centimeters, tall and straight, broad shoulders and narrow waist, the body proportions were excellent.

Before, they had also guessed whether the other party was a streamer, but after meeting, they quickly denied this guess.

It was mainly the temperament on him that was truly too attractive.

Elegant and calm, confident and high-spirited, his body was full of the unique aura of the elite class.

Coupled with that atmospheric and majestic Maybach.

No matter how you looked at it, he was an impeccable male god.

Sun Simin was also a bit stunned; before, Tang Song had come in a hurry, his hair and clothes were a bit messy, and he didn't have such a strong aura as he did now.

This meeting refreshed her impression once again.

Li Qingqing bit her tongue, and for no reason, sour water welled up in her heart.

She originally thought that this time they met, Wen Ruan had already lost her luster and become "plain and ordinary."

She didn't expect her to find another boyfriend like this.

No wonder she didn't look down on Zheng Jinpeng; compared to him, there was a considerable gap in every aspect.

But if she really had such an awesome boyfriend, did she still need to come to the Imperial Capital for an interview and job hunting?

The group walked into the private room of the Northeast restaurant.

Li Qingqing smiled and teased, "Wen Ruan, you're still hiding things from us, right? Your boyfriend has such a good car, he definitely doesn't just start a business doing live-streaming e-commerce."

Wen Ruan smiled lightly and didn't answer her.

Actually, there were many things she had never asked Tang Song about.

For example, his wealth and assets, his family situation, his emotional history.

This was because her positioning and cognition of herself were clear enough.

Since she couldn't take that step of marriage with him, the more she knew, the more she would worry about gains and losses.

Tang Song held her hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "That Maybach isn't mine; I have shares in a company here in the Imperial Capital, and the car is arranged by the company for me to get around."

"Oh? Is that so? Understood! The Audi I drive is also a company car." Li Qingqing sat up straight, feeling relieved in her heart.

It is very common for companies to purchase luxury cars.

Besides business reception and enhancing the corporate image, the most important thing is that it can be used for tax deduction.

Their company has a Bentley worth more than 2 million, but it is generally only given to the boss to drive.

Occasionally, when there is an important partner that needs to be received, she will also sit in it.

The others didn't have much of a reaction.

For them, this also proved that Wen Ruan's boyfriend was very unusual and also had assets in the Imperial Capital.

Because it was a pre-booked private room, the food had also been ordered in advance.

Not long after they sat down, the waiter brought various plates and bowls and placed them on the table.

The portion of each dish was very large, and they were full of color, aroma, and taste.

Several old classmates clinked glasses, chatting while eating.

Besides the couple Sun Simin and Zhou Bo who were getting married soon, the center of the topic was basically all on Tang Song.

Li Qingqing took the opportunity to ask some questions about "live-streaming," "supply chain," "operations," and "company organizational structure."

Over the past 8 years, her career had been very rich, and she had also been in live-streaming companies, so she was very knowledgeable about these things.

After chatting for a while, looking at Tang Song who was talking eloquently, her gaze became increasingly complex.

Excluding her jealousy toward Wen Ruan, this was truly a very charming boy.

His gaze was bright and spirited, his energy was full, and his posture was calm.

He spoke clearly and definitely, was full of infectious power, and also carried a moderate sense of humor.

His cognition of the live-streaming e-commerce industry was very deep, and from time to time he would cite several typical cases.

It was enough to show that the other party was not a flower vase but a true practitioner.

Listening to him speak and conversing with him, you could clearly feel his confidence, intelligence, and high emotional intelligence.

It was as if he were glowing.

Such a boy, even if his appearance were average, would be very attractive.

Others also shone with different colors, looking at Tang Song in surprise, occasionally saying a few words.

Zheng Jinpeng in the corner sighed and gradually let go.

If the white moonlight of his college days could find her own happiness, he would also sincerely bless her.

At least for now, this Tang Song was worthy of Wen Ruan.

Wen Ruan had a smile at the corners of her mouth, and her face always carried a warm and happy smile.

Introducing an excellent boyfriend to family, colleagues, and friends had always been something she was very eager to do.

Now seeing him chatting happily with her college classmates, she felt sweet inside.

It's just that in the Imperial Capital, at this moment, he completely belongs to me.

"Ding-a-ling—" A hurried phone ringtone sounded.

"Sorry, let me take a call." Zhou Bo smiled apologetically, picked up his phone, and stood up, "Hello, Zhiyong."

"Hmm, hmm, we're in private room 210, you can just come in directly."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Bo returned to his seat and said with a smile, "That classmate and colleague of mine has arrived, he just got off the train to the Imperial Capital and hasn't had time to eat yet; he lives in the residential area next door, so he's coming over to crash a meal."

"Welcome, welcome, we haven't eaten much yet anyway."

Everyone hurriedly stopped their chopsticks.

After a moment.

"Knock, knock, knock—" The private room door was knocked.

Immediately after, a thin boy walked in.

About 30 years old, with regular features and an ordinary figure.

He was wearing a business suit, carrying a computer bag, and sweat was still dripping from his forehead.

He looked like he had traveled a long way.
