Chapter 294: They are all contrasts

~22 min read 4,326 words

Beicheng Garden Community.

"Zhi ya—" The door is pulled open.

Xu Qing, humming a song, walks in.

The time is already close to 8:00 PM.

The light in the living room is very dim.

Changing into slippers on her own, she hangs her bag on the rack.

She turns on the light casually.

Xu Qing lowers her head to play with her phone, shuffling her slippers into the living room.

Just about to lie down on the soft sofa, she suddenly lets out an "ah."

"Dead Sister Yan Yan! What are you doing? Not turning on the lights in the middle of the night, sitting here with disheveled hair, you scared me to death!"

Xu Qing pats her small chest and steps forward to pat her best friend's leg heavily.

She thought she was deliberately pretending to be a ghost to scare her.

The two have known each other for so many years; this is not the first time the other party has done this, after all, she, Xu Qing, has not been very brave since she was a child.

"Qingqing." Shen Yu turns her head, her tone low and confused: "You're back."

Xu Qing is stunned, leans over to sniff hard, and frowns: "You drank? Is there some drinking party?"

She knows that this best friend of hers doesn't like drinking, but later after starting a business, it is inevitable to have social engagements, so occasionally she will drink too much once.

While speaking, Xu Qing walks to the water dispenser and pours a cup of warm water for Shen Yu.

Immediately after, Xu Qing's gaze pauses, and she sees an empty sparkling wine bottle in the trash can beside the table.

"Qingqing, I regret it so much." Shen Yu's body leans to the right, directly leaning on her best friend, her gaze dazed looking forward.

Xu Qing looks at her, opens her mouth, originally wanting to ask what she regrets, but soon reacts.

"Is it because of Tang Song's investment?"

"Hmm, I feel very uncomfortable, but I don't know what to do." Shen Yu hugs her best friend's shoulder and buries her head in her neck.

She didn't have the heart to go to work this afternoon, just sat at home and was dazed for several hours.

She didn't eat dinner either, directly drinking a bottle of 15-degree sparkling wine on an empty stomach.

However, this still cannot relieve the annoyance and pain in her heart.

Xu Qing pats her best friend's head and comforts her: "If you ask me, you are just thinking too much. Now Youjie Housekeeping has also signed a 7 million angel round, you should be satisfied. Even if Gongying Technology has some small thoughts, as investors, they also hope the company can develop, the cooperation agreement can definitely continue to be discussed, don't worry too much."

She just has an optimistic and cheerful personality and is unwilling to dwell on annoying things, not stupid; her IQ and EQ are both online.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have engaged in 3 years of legal work and part-time written a novel with good income.

The things Shen Yu thought of, she had already thought of.

It's just that in her view, her best friend can be considered to have achieved her goal as she wished, and her net worth has skyrocketed.

She now holds 26% equity of Youjie Housekeeping, worth 5 million.

Starting a business for more than two years, investing more than 100,000 in savings, having this kind of return is already a great luck.

"Hu~" Shen Yu lies on Xu Qing's shoulder and shakes her head: "Qingqing, you don't understand, this is different, completely different, Tang Song…"

She pauses and spits out a breath with a strong alcoholic smell, spraying it on Xu Qing's ear.

Continuing: "Gongying Technology made a profit of 14 million last year; although they possess some patents and technology, they don't have their own factory.

The current valuation is 20 times the price-earnings ratio, which is about 300 million RMB.

Their external investment of 6 million is actually a quite large burden.

So for them, they will care very much about this money, and will also care very much about Youjie Housekeeping.

I used to think it was a good thing; after all, we also need to rely on Gongying Technology's APP for promotion.

But now thinking about it, their purpose is not pure, it is not easy to get this money, and there will definitely be other small actions in the future.

And Tang Song… and Tang Song…"

Shen Yu bites her lower lip hard, and tears roll down from the corners of her eyes.

Xu Qing is instantly a bit panicked, hurriedly using her clothes to rub her cheeks, "Don't cry, Sister Yan Yan, what should I do if you make me want to cry too?"

After listening to her best friend's narrative, she understands the other party's meaning.

Compared with Gongying Technology, Tang Song possesses the management rights of a 150 million USD trust.

And this company is also a single-fund trust and does not raise funds externally.

They both know how huge energy this means.

After all, many listed companies don't have such large cash flow.

After comforting for a long time, Xu Qing hugs her best friend and comforts her: "Sister Yan Yan, have you forgotten? After the financing ends, I will get 2% of the options here; even if it is cashed out according to the valuation of 30 million, I can't take out 600,000. Don't you look favorably on the future of short dramas? When the time comes, let's pool money together, and this part of the equity will be half for each person."

"No." Shen Yu shakes her head hard, "This is what you deserve, and it is also your future hope; when the time comes, if the money is not enough, I can lend it to you."

She was the company's vice president when she started her business before, and now she is the general manager.

Since the company made a profit, she has never wronged herself in terms of salary and treatment.

Her current monthly salary is 25,000; plus she doesn't buy cars, doesn't buy houses, doesn't travel, she can be considered to have saved a not-small amount of savings.

When Xu Qing's options are cashed out, she should be able to pool enough money.

"Sister Yan Yan." Xu Qing pouts, her eyes red with emotion.

Immediately after, the best friends in the living room hug together and cry.

As things developed to the end, it was Shen Yu who started to persuade her not to cry.

The clouds clear and the rain stops.

The two sit in the living room, eating fruit while watching variety shows.

After venting the accumulated emotions in her heart, Shen Yu feels much more relaxed.

Xu Qing's pitch-black eyes turn, seeming to have thought of something.

Excitedly: "Sister Yan Yan, you are so stupid! Tang Song is not someone who will only invest once in his life; he is so capable, you will have many opportunities in the future."

Shen Yu shakes her head calmly, "The internal contradictions of Youjie Housekeeping have already been displayed in front of him, and I refused once, so the investment opportunity has already been lost."

Tang Song is actually not familiar with her; they have only met a few times in total.

Why should she refuse someone and then let them come to clean up their mess?

If it were her, if her good intention to invest was refused and she was boycotted by the founding team, she wouldn't look at this company again.

She would even be very happy to see them suffer setbacks in financing and poor management, appreciating their regret and failure.

Just like herself now.

Thinking of this, Shen Yu smiles self-deprecatingly, "Unless I can cash out from Youjie Housekeeping and leave, and look for a new entrepreneurial direction. But that is easier said than done; without resources, connections, and experience, the probability of failure is close to 100%."

Xu Qing's eyes turn, and she suddenly says sneakily: "Sister Yan Yan, I feel you have entered a dead end; why must you insist on 'entrepreneurship'?"

If you really have a good relationship with Tang Song, wouldn't it be good to let him take you to fly?"

Although there is not much contact, she feels Tang Song is a very good person, and following him will definitely not suffer.

Gentle and generous personality, handsome and upright appearance, giving her gifts, giving her face, and agreeing to two investments one after another.

If it weren't for these, she, Miss Xu Qing, wouldn't have agreed to let him take private photos.

Speaking of which, at that time, the two agreed that they would go to open a room after the investment matter was completed.

What to do? So shameful!

Should I write a fan fiction to relax when the time comes?

Hearing Xu Qing's words, the corners of Shen Yu's eyes tremble, and her heart skips a beat.

The scene of Tang Song walking out of the elevator this morning appears in her mind.

Licking her somewhat dry lips, Shen Yu blushes: "This… this is not very good, right?"

"What's not good about it? If you don't take advantage, there are plenty of people who will go up to take advantage.

For example, that Little Xue, look at how spirited she is, financial executive, often various high-end business cocktail parties and luxury goods in her circle of friends.

You have so many tricks, find a way to get closer to Tang Song; it's best to suppress that Little Xue heavily. Hehe, just thinking about it is very cool."

While speaking, Xu Qing cannot help but smile sideways, her eyes shining.

She didn't have work this afternoon, so she directly finished today's update.

In the story, it is Xu Yanqing fighting Liu Ruyan at the DD (due diligence) scene.

However, her little brain capacity is limited, she doesn't have as much scheming as her best friend, and writing and writing is still using the male lead to slap faces.

After all, she is an important female villain in her own novel, and there is still a lot of plot.

If Sister Yan Yan fights with Little Xue in reality and does some tricks, then she can directly copy it.

"Qingqing."

Xu Qing blinks, hurriedly returning to her senses from the YY, "What's wrong?"

Shen Yu purses her lips and suddenly asks: "Do you like Tang Song? What are your plans for the future?"

"Ah!" Xu Qing is like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, jumping up directly from the sofa, blushing: "What nonsense are you talking about, how could I like him, he has… has…"

After stammering for a while, Xu Qing pouts: "He has a partner, her name is Xiao Jing, and she is a rich beauty."

She and Xiao Jing often chat and know the progress of their relationship.

Although it is said that they are still in the ambiguous phase, they are almost boyfriend and girlfriend; after all, he can touch her chest and butt at will.

Xiao Jing is just playful, wanting to experience the romantic love between the male and female leads in two-dimensional anime, and even looking forward to some twists and turns, such as other female supporting characters.

Otherwise, with her nympho personality, she probably would have forced Tang Song long ago.

How can she, Miss Xu Qing, be a law student? Her worldview is super correct!

Usually, she just brings him into the male lead in the novel to YY a bit.

"Xiao Jing…" Shen Yu mutters meaningfully.

Wen Ruan, whom she met at the Imperial Hotel, appears in her mind.

Are they both girlfriends?

But it can be considered normal; for a boy like him, saying he is a young talent is an insult to him.

Those alumni who felt very outstanding before, compared with him, are all many grades worse.

Young, handsome, good figure, capable personality, all very outstanding, and with such huge power and status, I don't know how many crazy bees and butterflies will be around him.

It's a pity that I didn't discover him in university.

However, what kind of person was he in university?

And how did he reach this level today?

……

Lanfeng International Apartment.

On the desk by the window, an unread book lies quietly there.

Slender, clean hands press down on the paper blown by the air conditioner wind.

Tang Song, who has finished replying to work emails, sits down at the desk.

Looking at the cover of the book, it is a very famous textbook, "Finance."

It systematically introduces the basic concepts of finance, financial markets, financial institutions, investment theory, and other content.

It can be considered an introductory book on finance.

It is also on his recent reading list, preparing for the 【Learning Card】 to be used later.

Of course, the book here is Lin Mu's.

There is also a three-layered small bookshelf in the corner of the desk, with many books related to finance on it.

Tang Song simply flips through this "Finance," and there are many annotations written in delicate handwriting on it, as well as marks made with a marker.

Beside it, there is also an English textbook; judging from the traces of the book, it is also frequently read.

Besides this, there are many sticky notes on the table, recording some key vocabulary.

It can be seen that Little Xue cherishes the work opportunity at Juqing Juqing Hui Jin and learns very seriously.

Regarding this point, Tang Song is not surprised.

Being selected by the system during the 【Lucky Badge】 period and being able to trigger 【Whispers of Human Nature】 is enough to show that she herself has certain characteristics.

And a job with an annual salary of one million, high-level social status, for the former "fake socialite," must be full of infinite temptation.

As long as one is slightly smarter, one will try every means to seize this opportunity.

Actually, he himself also appreciates Little Xue, not just coveting her beauty.

She is a very real individual, has her own little thoughts, and is very sensible.

The reason why he didn't treat her like Zhao Yaqian and Wen Ruan is also because he wants to observe the transformation process of this "fake socialite" well.

"Ding dong—" The phone on the table vibrates.

Picking up the phone and taking a look.

【Shen Yu: "Today I flipped through the photo album backed up on the computer and inadvertently saw the group photo at Lu Ziming's birthday party before. No wonder I didn't notice you much before; you were really too low-key and introverted. (#Hehe)"】

【Shen Yu: Party group photo. jpg】

Tang Song raises his eyebrows, clicks on the photo to look.

This was taken in the winter of 2018.

Lu Ziming had a birthday, and he, as a roommate, also followed to participate.

In the group photo, he is sitting in the corner sofa of the venue, wearing a half-new, half-old dark gray hoodie and sweatpants.

With a subtle and shy smile on his face, some un-shaved beard, messy hair, no hairstyle to speak of.

There is also a silver full-frame pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose.

Indeed very inconspicuous.

Shen Yu and Xu Qing are sitting in the middle of the crowd, looking fashionable and bright.

Surrounded by some young people dressed very trendily.

Looking at the glasses in the photo, Tang Song cannot help but smile.

He actually has more than 100 degrees of myopia in both eyes, and some astigmatism.

Although it doesn't affect normal life, using his eyes for a long time will still be very tired.

This pair of glasses was given by White Moonlight in his sophomore year.

At that time, it felt very trendy, and he often took it out to wear, but later he accidentally lost it during the move.

Thinking for a while, Tang Song replies: "Four years have passed in a flash, the changes are indeed quite big."

"Buzz buzz buzz—" The message reply is very fast.

【Shen Yu: "You have truly been reborn; I feel like I have been marking time in place."】

【Shen Yu: "(#Covering mouth and laughing) Still as beautiful, hehe."】

【Shen Yu: Selfie. jpg】

Clicking on the photo to look, fake plain makeup, sexy little suspenders, pure and beautiful face.

This former high-and-mighty school beauty is presented before him in another posture.

Tang Song lets out a breath, his mood complex.

"Ka da—" The door is gently opened.

High heels strike the wooden floor, emitting a rhythmic "da da" sound.

Lin Mu, carrying a bag of fruit and drinks, walks over.

Fashionable bright-colored dress, delicate texture, perfectly displaying her elegant posture.

When walking, the skirt hem drifts slightly, rubbing against her slender legs as if there were nothing.

The lines from the buttocks to the knees are naturally outlined by the skirt, carrying a kind of implicit sexiness.

On her straight legs, she wears a pair of ultra-thin silk stockings, and the beautiful lines from the thighs to the calves are presented without reservation.

The firmness of the muscles and the smoothness of the skin are even more obvious under the foil of the silk stockings.

Little Xue, wearing this outfit, plus the deliberate creation, looks exceptionally dignified and elegant, and a bit slutty.

Noticing Tang Song's gaze, Lin Mu's legs subconsciously feel a bit soft.

The madness when she just returned to the apartment before seems to be still before her eyes.

Opening a cup of iced lemon tea, she gently places it in front of Tang Song, "This is very delicious, try it."

"Thank you, Little Xue." Tang Song takes the lemon tea and takes a sip; it is icy, cool, and refreshing, instantly making people feel refreshed.

Lin Mu licks her lips, takes the initiative to stand behind him, and gently massages Tang Song's shoulders and back.

Her tone is light: "Tang Song, are you… are you going back to Yanjing Tiancheng tonight?"

It is just past 9 o'clock now.

She went down to buy food, just hoping he could stay a while longer, it would be best if he could stay.

Tang Song's mouth corners rise, he pats her soft hands, and stands up from the seat.

Little Xue, wearing black high heels, has an even more upright and slender posture.

"Little Xue, I have something I want to ask you."

"You say." Lin Mu's eyes float with faint water mist.

"Why didn't you draw a map when playing ball today? Could it be that you feel sorry for your own home? At my place, you can come twice a day, and the bed sheets have been changed twice." Tang Song reaches out and gently pinches her delicate and fair chin.

Looking at each other, listening to Tang Song's words, Lin Mu's face instantly turns blood-red.

This kind of dark history, she really can't hold it!

Hesitating for a long time, feeling Tang Song's slightly forceful fingers, Lin Mu whispers: "I checked, that's not a disease, it's just a constitution. If you want to avoid it… just empty it beforehand, and then don't drink water."

"So that's how it is." Tang Song reveals a look of realization.

No wonder Little Xue didn't drink a mouthful of water during the ball game and specifically went to the bathroom.

Lin Mu smiles awkwardly, then whispers again: "My period just ended the day before yesterday, now it's the safe period, so I didn't take medicine."

Hearing her words, Tang Song takes a deep breath, his nasal cavity filled with the fragrance after her bath.

Immediately after, Tang Song hands over the lemon tea, his mouth corners rising: "Little Xue, I want to see you draw a map."

"Uh…" Lin Mu's mouth opens, looking at Tang Song's eyes, finally not daring to refuse.

Forget it, forget it, losing face is losing face! Anyway, it's all lost!

As long as he can sleep at my place for one night!

"Gulp gulp—"

Soon, a cup of lemon tea is drunk down.

She is really thirsty; in order to maintain her image and not draw maps randomly, she hasn't dared to drink water in large gulps for several hours.

Tang Song lowers his head and forcefully holds her moist and full lips.

Both hands go around to the back, slowly moving downward along the exquisite dress.

Little Xue lets out an "ooh," both hands wrapping around his neck, actively responding.

What she likes most is being kissed by Tang Song.

His mouth is very fresh and good-smelling, and it also gives her an illusion that Tang Song likes her.

Very enjoyable, very immersive.

Dreaming about it several times, waking up, it is all a mess.

Lin Mu suddenly lets out a low hum.

"Zi la—" The thin black silk stockings tear from behind.

Tang Song pats her and whispers a few words in her ear.

Lin Mu blushes and nods, obediently standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Ding dong—" The phone on the table lights up again.

Tang Song clicks to look.

Probably because he hasn't replied, Shen Yu sent a voice message.

Click to play.

A fresh and sweet voice comes from the receiver: "Today, the professional due diligence team of Slover Trust really gave me a very big shock. I didn't expect that a big shot was actually by my side, and was also my alumnus and friend. To tell you the truth, I have now regretted until my thighs are swollen; if I had known, I should have withstood the pressure and pulled you in to be an investor."

"Hey, there are a lot of messy things in the company, I'll complain to you when I have time."

"However, work is work, we are still good friends. I hope you don't hold it against a shallow-sighted little woman like me, and I apologize to you again."

Tang Song shakes his head and types a reply: "It doesn't matter, this matter is not your fault either."

Hearing Shen Yu's voice, Lin Mu's gaze flickers.

Her elegant and upright body slowly bends down.

Soon, a dirty inner wear is taken off.

Her firm buttocks touch Tang Song, "**, Little Xue can't take it anymore, help me, okay?"

Hearing the address in Little Xue's mouth, Tang Song's mouth corners twitch.

Good, Little Xue, you really know how to play!

Clearly the words in her mouth are so obscene, yet she can maintain an elegant posture.

Tang Song directly throws the phone on the table and steps forward to lift her beautiful white skirt.

The city lights flicker like stars, casting a faint halo through the thin curtains.

The broken silk stockings leave behind tempting traces.

Elegant neck lines, shoulders of moderate width, neck and shoulder lines without a trace of extra fat, slender waist, round and firm buttocks, just the right golden ratio.

Under the night lights, it is full of charming colors.

The phone screen on the table lights up from time to time; besides Shen Yu, Tang Song vaguely sees messages from Xu Qing and Zhao Yaqian.

However, he has no intention of replying at all now.

Enjoying Lin Mu's fully accommodating body to the fullest, his gaze is dazed.

…

"I want to go to the bathroom."

"Go ahead."

"Tang Song… Tang Song… help me, help me roll up the skirt, this was just bought."

"It doesn't matter, I can buy you another one, Little Xue, relax."

"Ah—"

Soon, a brand-new world map appears before Tang Song's eyes.

Since the game became reality, his actions really cannot be blamed entirely on him.

Because it is not just him who is changing, everyone who comes into contact with him is also changing.

For example, these two women he met at the investment exchange meeting.

The elegant and cold Lin Mu, the school beauty Shen with a faint sense of distance.

Now they have all become contrasts.

……

July 7, 2023, sunny, 27~41c.

Lüzhou Jingyuan Community.

The black BMW 330I is parked in the parking space, Wen Ruan carries her LV SPEEDY 35, gets out of the car, and walks upstairs.

The Bluetooth headset is playing that song "Love Of Song" by Su Yu.

She has actually always been a fan of Su Yu; when listening to this song before, she just felt it was good.

Now that she has guessed the truth, looking at the lyrics, there is always an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

How is this expressing her own musical attitude?

This is confessing to "Song"!

However, Tang Song is also her man now, so it feels quite good to listen to.

"Ding—" The elevator door slowly opens.

Wen Ruan just walks out of the elevator, and a phone ringtone suddenly comes from the Bluetooth headset.

Pressing the touch module, she answers the phone, "Hello."

In the past few days, her phone has been particularly busy.

Old colleagues from the company, Xingyun International Group, Quan Jing Law Firm…

Immediately after, a very magnetic voice comes from the headset: "Hello, Ms. Wen Ruan, I am very sorry to disturb your rest, I am Zhen Yu from Tang Zong Entertainment."

Hearing the four words "Tang Zong Entertainment," Wen Ruan's face instantly tightens, "Hello, Ms. Zhen, may I ask what is the matter?"

"You can just call me by my name, I am Ms. Su's assistant, I just arrived in Yancheng today, and there are some things I want to meet and talk to you about." Zhen Yu pauses and continues: "Knowing that you are very busy now, I also happen to have some things to deal with here, is the weekend okay?"

"Ms. Su…" Wen Ruan lets out a deep breath and says forcefully: "Okay!"

Su Yu, right! It doesn't matter! Isn't it just Su Yu!

I am not afraid of you… ===== CHAPTER 295 =====
