Chapter 374

Although she had been in Shencheng for a long time, because of her busy work, Liu Qingning didn't understand the scenic spots and business districts here, and hadn't even really come out to stroll around.

However, with her extremely strong execution, she formulated a perfect strategy while eating breakfast.

9:00 AM.

The two set off from Phase III of Songping Village, took a bus and subway, and arrived at the Huaqiaocheng creative park area.

Passing through the Ecological Plaza, they arrived at the Yanhan Mountain Country Park.

It had just rained, and the air temperature wasn't too high.

Forests, vines, pools, stone bridges.

On a cloudy day after the rain, standing by the lake and looking into the depths of the forest, it was like a scene from a martial arts movie.

Walking out of the park, the two sat in a teahouse by the floor-to-ceiling window, drinking freshly brewed tea while reading the same book.

They rested in the air conditioning for half an hour.

Then they followed Xiangshan East Street to the Huaqiaocheng Creative Park, which was full of artistic atmosphere.

The architectural style was unique, blending modern and retro elements.

Liu Qingning had a very good memory and knew a lot, constantly introducing him to all kinds of interesting knowledge along the way.

Liu Qingning held Tang Song's hand, excitedly shuttling through the streets and alleys of the park, exploring treasure shops hidden in corners.

Creative handicraft shops, unique private kitchens, and bookstores full of bookish atmosphere...

From time to time, the two would stop to rest and buy some special snacks to feed each other.

Every time, it was Liu Qingning who took the initiative to pay.

In her words, earn money in Shencheng, spend money in Shencheng.

In fact, Tang Song knew she just didn't want him to spend money, just like when they were in the Imperial Capital.

He didn't say much and quietly enjoyed the care of his "White Moonlight."

However, while in the bathroom, he secretly bought several uniquely shaped and cute items to give to her.

Liu Qingning, who received the surprise, seemed to have her girlish heart completely activated; a cute and bright smile appeared on her face, her steps were light, and she kept swinging Tang Song's hand.

3:00 PM.

The two walked into a quiet coffee shop.

Found a seat with the strongest air conditioning and ordered a latte and an Americano.

Liu Qingning took a pair of Bluetooth headphones out of her bag, and the two sat facing each other, each wearing one headphone.

Like before, they listened to songs and chatted.

Liu Qingning really liked music; she had liked it since she was a child.

In high school, she basically never left her MP3 and headphones, and would go to KTV to satisfy her craving whenever she had time, and she sang very well.

This was also the reason why he gave her headphones as a gift in high school.

The coffee was made quickly.

Tang Song picked up the latte and took a light sip, a bit of milk foam sticking to the corner of his mouth.

"Don't move!" Liu Qingning smiled and leaned in, gently wiping it off for him with her finger.

"Thank you."

Just after Tang Song finished speaking, Liu Qingning mischievously smeared the milk foam on her finger onto his nose.

Then she raised her phone and took a photo.

A burst of silver-bell-like laughter rang out in the air.

Looking at the fresh, lively, and playful "White Moonlight," Tang Song's gaze became softer and softer.

In the evening, the two entered a specialty restaurant with good reviews.

After dinner, they took a taxi directly to the Shencheng Talent Park.

Passing through the Starlight Bridge that shone with light.

The two sat on a lawn, listening to Su Yu's ethereal singing, admiring the high-rise buildings flashing with neon lights.

"That is the famous Spring Bamboo Building, with a total height of 392.5 meters, 66 floors above ground..."

Having not slept well last night and playing for a whole day, Liu Qingning was clearly exhausted.

Her expression was very tired, and her speech seemed weak.

Tang Song's gaze flickered, and he stood up and sat directly behind her.

In Liu Qingning's astonished gaze, he reached out from under her chest and held her tightly in his arms.

This hugging posture made the two stick tightly together.

Liu Qingning could even feel Tang Song's powerful heartbeat.

"What are you doing..."

"Sleep for a while leaning on me."

"Hey, don't put your hands there! Not allowed to touch the flesh on my stomach!"

"Actually, you can't be considered fat; don't be so sensitive."

"Anyway, it's not allowed." Liu Qingning folded her hands on her waist, forbidding his touch.

"Alright, I'll listen to you." Tang Song smiled, leaned his head against her ear, and wrapped his arms around her body.

The full and Q-elastic E-cup instantly made intimate contact with his arm.

Through the thin T-shirt, one could feel the warmth and softness from her body.

Liu Qingning's face turned red, and she subconsciously shrank her chest, but it was clear it had little effect.

After a while, feeling Tang Song's heartbeat, her emotions gradually relaxed.

Taking a deep breath of the humid air.

Unknowingly, she closed her eyes.

In a daze, Liu Qingning twisted her body and murmured: "Tang Song... something is poking me..."

"Abs."

"Oh..."

After a long while, she vaguely felt Tang Song pinch her waist and ask her something again.

It seemed to be something like "rain" or "go home."

Because she was too sleepy, she just nodded.

Immediately after, she felt her body start to move.

She barely opened her eyes and found that she was already lying on Tang Song's back at some point.

"Rum-rumble—" Thunder flashed in the sky.

Liu Qingning hugged him tightly, breathing in the scent on his body, and closed her eyes again.

Although the sky in Shencheng was very cloudy, there was always a beam of light in her heart.

"Tang Song..."

"What's wrong, Qingning?" Tang Song turned his head slightly, his slender hand lifting the "White Moonlight's" thigh upward.

"Are you tired?"

"Not tired, don't worry, my physical fitness is very good now."

After a moment, Liu Qingning's murmuring voice rang out again: "Are you happy living in Yancheng?"

Tang Song pursed his lips and said softly: "Happy."

"What about work? Do company leaders bully you? Have you suffered any grievances?"

Tang Song's eye sockets gradually moistened, his voice trembling: "No."

"Oh... that's good... I usually don't dare to ask because I know I can't help." Liu Qingning twisted her body, her breathing becoming more and more stable.

"I'm sorry."

Liu Qingning lay quietly on his shoulder, seemingly not hearing it.

Tang Song sniffed, and as the wind blew, two clear cool feelings came to his face.

The few months since the game became reality had greatly improved his EQ and comprehension.

Things that were hazy before now seemed exceptionally real.

For example, the "White Moonlight's" meticulous care and deep love for him.

In fact, her worry was right.

If it weren't for the game becoming reality, his work and life would be a mess.

Workplace bullying made him exhausted, bearing great psychological torment.

Perhaps it was also because she knew his character and temper that the "White Moonlight" was so worried about him.

Even if she wasn't doing well in Shencheng.

Tuesday, August 15, 2023, cloudy, 26~31°C.

Early morning.

An excellent biological clock made Tang Song wake up early.

Opening his eyes, he saw a beautiful and cute face.

Today was his third day in Shencheng.

Yesterday they rented a car and took a self-driving tour of Shencheng Dapeng Bay, one of the eight most beautiful coastlines in China.

They walked the seaside wooden plank road, saw the Mermaid Cave, ate fresh and fat seafood, and played kayaking.

In the evening, under his soft and hard grinding, Liu Qingning lay on the same bed with him again.

Looking at this familiar sleeping face, complex emotions flowed in Tang Song's eyes.

Originally prepared to confess his scumbag behavior to the "White Moonlight," but when it came to the point, he couldn't say it at all.

Because he was really afraid of seeing her painful and sad appearance.

For others, he could use various reasons to convince himself.

But facing Liu Qingning, he was really very guilty.

However, letting him give her up was absolutely impossible.

He could only find ways to make up for it from other aspects as much as possible.

He would also work hard to let his "White Moonlight" find happiness.

He stared at her for a long, long time.

A soft moan rang out, and Liu Qingning's eyelashes began to tremble slightly, seemingly about to wake up.

Tang Song leaned forward and kissed her full and delicate face.

Immediately after, he met a pair of bright, watery eyes.

"Slap—" Liu Qingning slapped him: "I found that you are really bold now; you are very disrespectful to me!"

Just woken up, she spoke softly and weakly, with no deterrent power at all.

Tang Song smiled, turned over to be above her, and looked down at her.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Liu Qingning quickly used her hand to press against his shoulder, blushing: "I shouldn't have listened to you last night; you don't keep your word! Playing the hooligan!"

"Can I kiss you again?"

"No!"

"Mwah~" Tang Song's mouth was printed on her face again.

"Ah ah! Good for you, Tang Song, you actually dare to bully me now!"

"Hey, don't tickle me, I was wrong, I was wrong."

After playing on the bed for a while, the two finally stopped.

Liu Qingning's hair was scattered, her face flushed, and her full chest heaved.

Because she didn't wear underwear to sleep, she looked full of temptation.

Looking at the "White Moonlight" who was child-faced and giant-cute, Tang Song felt his blood boiling.

Liu Qingning let out a light "hum," jumped off the bed quickly: "Get up, I'm going to the company during the day, you can stroll around nearby and wait for me to get off work."

The candidate recommended by Deju Renhe joined yesterday, and she accompanied Tang Song yesterday, so she didn't go to the company.

She definitely had to go over today to hand over some things in person.

"Mm, let's go, I'll accompany you to wash up."

"I want to go to the bathroom..."

"Then I'll accompany you too; I want to go as well."

"Go to hell!"

Shenchengwan No. 1 T8.

Tang Song sat in front of the computer in the study, concentrating on processing the work emails and OA applications accumulated over the weekend and yesterday.

Mainly for Songmei Apparel: budget, procurement, personnel recruitment...

However, because Gao Mengting reviewed them in advance, he only needed to click "pass."

There were also meeting reports, business proposals, and audit proposals sent by Huashang Apparel...

It's worth mentioning that Lin Mu actively sent a business research report on the "Yannan Short Drama Base."

And expounded her own views in it.

It could be seen that she wasn't just flattering on the surface, but had truly put in the effort to study it.

Tang Song raised his wrist to check the time.

It was exactly 10:30 AM.

Closing the computer, he stood up and stretched.

Tang Song walked to the spacious balcony, blowing the sea breeze, and looked into the distance.

As one of the top-tier apartments, the location of Shenchengwan No. 1 was very good.

First-line seascape and inner bay lake view were presented simply and directly in front of him.

Beside it were also gathered a large number of Fortune 500 companies and high-end commercial districts.

It was a true land of gold.

Being in it, one could almost feel the life rhythm of this young and prosperous international metropolis at 0 distance.

Thinking of the Qingning Building next door, Tang Song's heart moved.

Perhaps he could buy a house here for his "White Moonlight."

Opening the system interface to check personal information.

【Player: Tang Song (67' Charm)】

【Role: Songmei Apparel - President】

【Height: 184CM, Weight: 80KG】

【Physique: 71, Stamina: 75, Agility: 67, Comprehension: 83】

【Asset Status:】

Balance: 8.743 million yuan (Investment fund 160.5 million yuan)

Looking at his balance of less than 10 million, Tang Song rubbed his forehead.

The mansions at Shenchengwan No. 1 were priced at tens of millions or over 100 million.

It was clear that he couldn't afford a house here now.

However, the 【Second Stage Growth Plan Task】 was about to be completed, and there should be money-based rewards by then.

After all, the first stage rewarded 200 million in investment funds.

Checking the details of the title 【Popular Me】.

【Current Cash Reward: 8,460,900 yuan (Total 32,473,000 yuan)】

Xiaohongshu followers: 32,275.

Douyin followers: 278,500.

Due to the greatly reduced number of videos shot in the last month, the cash reward that could be claimed wasn't much.

Withdraw immediately.

【Balance: 17.2039 million yuan (Investment fund 160.5 million yuan)】

Tang Song took out his phone, called the security driver arranged by Liu Jiayi, and walked downstairs.

Although he couldn't afford a mansion, he could still prepare some small surprises.

In the two days they went out to play, Liu Qingning didn't even have a decent bag or accessory.

No matter what, since he couldn't bear to give her up, he would work hard to let her feel happiness.

A few minutes later, the black Bentley business car started slowly.

Shenchengwan MixC, only one kilometer away from Shenchengwan No. 1, was a representative of high-end commerce under China Resources.

It gathered many international first-line luxury brands, such as Hermès, LV, Chanel, etc.

It was one of the top-tier shopping malls in Shencheng.

Because it was a workday, the flow of people in the mall wasn't large.

The internal space was spacious and bright, with a high-ceiling atrium design, looking atmospheric and luxurious.

After strolling around the first floor of the mall for a while, Tang Song's gaze stayed on the LV counter door.

He remembered that when he was in the Imperial Capital, when he went shopping with Liu Qingning, she had stopped in front of the LV store window several times.

As a girl, even if she was mature and rational, it was hard to avoid being interested in these "bling-bling" things.

It was just that she had her own life plan and didn't want to waste money on these places.

Every time, she would complain a few times about "so expensive" and "luxury goods don't scam the poor," and then pull him away.

However, Tang Song could see that she really wanted them.

Passing through the transparent and bright glass door, he walked into the LV counter.

Tang Song's gaze swept across the entire store.

The overall decoration was mainly in beige and dark brown, paired with golden decorative lines and lighting, looking very luxurious.

There weren't few people inside, basically some young women dressed fashionably.

Soon, a saleswoman in uniform greeted him warmly: "Hello, welcome, would you like to see any products?"

Tang Song had a faint smile on his face and said casually: "Take me to see some women's bags."

"Alright." The saleswoman looked at Tang Song's clothing and temperament without changing her expression, and the smile on her face became even brighter: "Sir, have you been to our store before? Do you have any styles you like?"

Tang Song shook his head lightly: "No, first time here."

"Then you can tell me your specific requirements, and I'll recommend a few for you."

"A gift for my girlfriend, a daily travel bag is fine, something a bit smaller."

Because of the height issue, the two bags he helped Zhao Yaqian and Wen Ruan buy before were both large sizes.

For Liu Qingning, she naturally couldn't handle them.

"Alright, please come this way." The saleswoman smiled: "Qixi Festival is coming up soon, and we have activities in our store, with very rich gifts."

Hearing her words, Tang Song was slightly stunned.

Only then did he remember that tomorrow was the first day of the seventh lunar month, and Qixi Festival was only 7 days away.

His heart jumped, and he suddenly realized that it was time to test his time management ability.

He had more than one girlfriend; he definitely had to send gifts to each of them by then.

And he was living in Jin Mi Shu's house now, so he could just buy one for her and put it at Shenchengwan No. 1, which could also be considered indirectly achieving the goal of sending a gift.

Maybe if he was lucky enough, he could get another 【Jin Mi Shu's Dream Fragment】.

Thinking of this, Tang Song took a deep breath.

It seemed he was going to have a big shopping spree today!

The LV counter at MixC had two floors; the first floor was mainly various classic bags, women's clothing, and accessories.

Following the saleswoman into the women's bag area, exquisite bags were displayed in wooden and glass display cabinets.

"On this side, these are our rare leather series, including Capucines, Speedy..."

The saleswoman was very practical and took Tang Song directly to the most expensive shelf.

Tang Song listened to the saleswoman's introduction while looking at the bags one by one.

His gaze stopped on two girls beside him.

Both were wearing fashionable and gorgeous dresses, carrying luxury bags, with exquisite makeup, and their every move was full of "socialite" style.

For some reason, it made Tang Song think of Lin Mu.

The first time he saw Xiao Xue, she also had this temperament.

It's a pity Xiao Xue wasn't here, otherwise he wouldn't have to worry about buying gifts at all.

After all, she was a master-level figure in this regard.

Seemingly noticing his gaze, the two girls also looked up.

Their gazes met, and they widened their eyes at the same time.

Tang Song smiled and didn't take it to heart, turning his head to continue listening to the saleswoman's introduction.

Yancheng, Juxing Huicui, Assistant Office.

"I know, I'll transfer the money to you when I go back tonight." Lin Mu licked her lips and whispered: "Xu Ning, this is my hard-earned savings."

"Don't say so many empty words, look at the information I sent you carefully; you only have this one chance, whether you can turn over depends on you."

"Alright, I won't chat with you anymore, I'm still at work, bye."

Hanging up the phone, Lin Mu couldn't help but sigh.

Xu Ning owed 430,000 in loans, of which 130,000 was overdue.

And she now had 190,000 in savings; helping her pay off the debt would leave her with only 60,000.

Life was finally getting rich, and now it was going to be beaten back to its original form.

Before truly getting rich, let's control consumption first, otherwise, she wouldn't even be able to afford to keep a car in the future.

Fortunately, she had some privileges now; beauty skincare and daily meals didn't require spending any money.

She could barely maintain decency.

Stretching, she looked at the time.

【11:05】

Immediately after, Lin Mu raised her eyebrows.

Someone was @ing her in the socialite group.

Clicking on the notification message to enter the group chat, she flipped up, and several messages popped out.

【Ziyue: "@Xiao Xue, if I remember correctly, this is your boyfriend, right?"】

【Ziyue: Counter-stolen-photo. jpg】

【"@Ziyue, wow, it really is him; I saved the photo, he seems to have become even more handsome! Absolutely a top male god!"】

【Xinyu: "Ziyue and I were taking photos at the LV counter at MixC in Shencheng and happened to run into Xiao Xue's boyfriend shopping here. He's even more handsome and has more temperament in person!"】

Of course, there were also some mocking and sarcastic comments.

【"No, do you guys really believe he is Xiao Xue's boyfriend?"】

【"If I remember correctly, she only shared it that one time; I guess he was just playing around at the time, they must have broken up long ago."】

Lin Mu couldn't care about arguing with them, her eyebrows jumped violently, and thick panic flashed in her eyes.

Quickly clicking on the photo, a familiar figure appeared on the screen.

Wearing a solid-colored T-shirt, tall and strong figure, calm gaze, handsome appearance.

Tang Song! Shencheng!

Thoughts turned quickly, and Lin Mu instantly understood the origin of the matter.

This socialite group wasn't local to Yancheng; there were people from all over the country, and quite a few could fly nationwide.

It was normal for Ziyue and Xinyu to run into Tang Song at MixC in Shencheng.

Initially, Tang Song took her shopping at Xingyue City and even gave her an Overseas watch.

At that time, she only wanted to show off and slap the faces of those little bitches who questioned her, so she not only shared a pile of luxury goods but also sent out photos of Tang Song driving a Bentley. (Chapter 189)

Now the boomerang hit her right in the middle of the eyebrows, catching her off guard.

What a sin!

Thinking of this, Lin Mu wished she could slap herself.

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

【Ziyue: "It's too exaggerated; Xiao Xue's boyfriend took down a 200,000 crocodile leather bag in less than five minutes!"】

【Ziyue: "No, he took all 3 colors in stock! He wanted them all! My god!"】

Seeing the messages sent by the two, the group instantly boiled over.

LV's rare leather series had always been a top-tier tool for showing off, and also a luxury item they dreamed of.

【Xinyu: "@Xiao Xue, it's rare to run into you in Shencheng; it's too fated, Ziyue and I are going to strike up a conversation."】

【Ziyue: "Don't worry, don't worry, we aren't going to steal your man, just want to get to know him."】

"Ah!" Lin Mu closed her eyes in pain and grabbed her hair hard.

The main problem was that she wasn't Tang Song's girlfriend!

It was purely bragging before.

She could already anticipate what was going to happen next.

First, Tang Song denied being her boyfriend, and the group members frantically mocked and slapped her face.

Then, through chatting, Tang Song learned that she was mixing in the fake socialite circle, and her so-called financial high-knowledge and elegant intellectualism were all disguised.

"Empress Empress Mu Xue" was "disgraced," and her status was lost.

She didn't know how Tang Song would look at her by then.

The favorability she worked so hard to pull back might be gone again.

What to do!

Looking at all kinds of messages in the group.

Lin Mu's brain was in a mess, holding her phone and wanting to call Tang Song, but she was also terrified.

She waited in torment for a full ten minutes.

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

【Ziyue: "@Xiao Xue, your boyfriend is too nice! After hearing that we were your friends, he gave us a silk scarf and 2 accessories."】

【Ziyue: Gift-box. jpg】

【Xinyu: "He even asked us what color bag you like, saying he wants to give it to you on Qixi Festival, ah ah ah! So envious!"】

【Ziyue: "I told him you like LV's Gilded Sahara the most, and then he really bought it! He really bought it!"】

Seeing these messages, an expression of disbelief surged on Lin Mu's face.

Tang Song admitted I was his girlfriend in front of them?

And wants to buy me a Qixi Festival gift?

LV's Gilded Sahara? The same style as Xie Shu Yu?

This... could this be a dream?

Pinching her thigh hard, "Hiss—" a clear and violent pain came.

Lin Mu bit her lip, her body trembling with excitement.

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

【Xinyu: "Just now, he bought a Capucines Himalayan and some accessories, already spent over a million; watching it made my heart unable to take it!"】

【Ziyue: "I heard him tell the clerk that he wants to send these to the apartment at Shenchengwan No. 1, a top-tier mansion! @Xiao Xue, what is your boyfriend's background? He scared us to death!"】

Taking a few deep breaths, Lin Mu clicked on the chat box and replied excitedly: "Sorry, in a meeting at the company, just saw your messages. @Ziyue @Xinyu, he is indeed my boyfriend; he just happened to be on a business trip in Shencheng. (#Smile)"

Licking her lips, Lin Mu continued to leave a message: "Sigh, why did you guys tell me about the gift, now there's no surprise."

After sending the message, looking at the envious, jealous, and hateful messages one by one below.

Lin Mu's legs rubbed gently, her face flushed.

Never expected that she could show off even from 2,000 kilometers away!

Of course, more importantly, Tang Song actually wanted to give her a Valentine's Day gift!

And it was a 200,000+ LV Gilded Sahara!

Thinking of this, a wave of urgency to urinate surged.

Lin Mu stood up quickly and walked toward the bathroom on
