Chapter 84: Today is Not May 20th

The alumni status, coupled with the wonderful coincidence, made this meal exceptionally harmonious.

A certain stall in the school cafeteria, the crystal-clear artificial lake, the cherry blossom forest in full bloom, the supermarket where everything was ridiculously expensive...

A few simple shared memories quickly brought the four closer together.

They went directly from netizens to friends.

After eating, the four went to Yancheng University of Technology together.

They walked aimlessly through the familiar campus.

Brushing shoulders with groups of students walking together.

Yao Lingling and the others complained to each other about the annoying things they encountered after work.

They studied fashion design in college and started as design assistants after graduation, which was different from the high-end work environment they had imagined.

Every day they faced various fabrics and order sheets; the work was trivial and fragmented, the pay was low, and they often had to take the blame.

Zhang Jiahong had already quit her job and was studying for the public institution exam.

Yao Lingling and Li Shumin were still biting the bullet to gain experience, fantasizing about becoming official designers soon.

As they were about to part ways, standing at the bustling school gate.

Yao Lingling suddenly leaned forward and pressed lightly on his cheek, then said with satisfaction, "Senior, don't mind it. I've been following you online for so long, and now that I see you in person, I've always wanted to pinch you."

"It's fine, I wouldn't mind if you kissed me either." Tang Song joked with a smile.

Although they hadn't been in contact for long, he could feel that Yao Lingling had a great personality and was someone who could take a joke.

Yao Lingling stuck out her tongue, "In your dreams! Hmph."

Zhang Jiahong and Li Shumin, standing on either side of her, looked at each other, nodded tacitly, and pushed Yao Lingling forward at the same time.

A faint fragrance wafted over, and the two collided head-on.

Tang Song subconsciously held her arms to prevent her from falling.

"Is that real enough now?" The two girls laughed loudly as they ran away.

Yao Lingling's ears turned red. She pressed her hand against his chest, not even having time to say goodbye, and turned to chase after them.

She said angrily, "You guys just wait! No one is getting off easy tonight!"

Watching Yao Lingling disappear from sight, Tang Song shook his head with a smile.

He could feel from that collision just now that her front was somewhat barren, not as prominent as Gao Mengting's or Xiao Jing's.

……

Returning to Qingxin Garden.

Tang Song washed up simply and opened the system interface while leaning on the sofa.

He checked the details of the title 【The Popular Me】.

【Current cash reward: 146,600 yuan (Total: 361,200 yuan)】

In 3 days, he had accumulated 146,600 yuan in cash, mainly thanks to the first-person perspective video he posted on TikTok.

He clicked withdraw.

The balance instantly reached 292,000 yuan. This feeling was truly great!

He opened the TikTok app and checked; he currently had 2,103 followers.

It had been more than a day since the last video was posted, with 4,000+ likes and 800+ comments, and a cumulative increase of over 1,100 followers.

He also opened Xiaohongshu to check; he had 1,509 followers.

Although his previous note showing his face had become a minor hit, it had only added less than 400 followers.

It couldn't compare to the traffic on TikTok.

This made him even more glad about his strategy of operating them separately.

In the future, he would focus on making viral traffic videos on TikTok, and use Little Red Book to communicate with netizens and improve himself.

After taking stock of his earnings, Tang Song opened a shopping app and spent 7,000 yuan to buy a guitar.

He already had a rough idea for his next video.

Besides showing off his hands and car, occasionally showing off his talents was also a good choice, which could attract more types of followers.

Just then, a sharp phone ringtone sounded.

Tang Song picked up his phone and looked; it was actually Xie Shu Yu calling.

He answered the phone.

"Hey, Sister Xie Shu Yu."

Soon, a pleasant, mature woman's voice sounded on the other end: "Xiao Song, sorry, I'm disturbing you so late."

"It's fine. Is there a problem with the mini-program?"

"No, the mini-program is very stable, and there hasn't been any problem so far." Xie Shu Yu paused and continued, "You haven't come to sign the part-time contract yet. I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to ask. Did something happen on your end?"

Tang Song patted his forehead; he had just remembered this.

Last time they ate, they had indeed said he would go to the company to sign the contract.

Because the series of events around him recently had been too intense, he hadn't thought of it.

"No, I've just been too busy lately and forgot about it."

"That's good. Are you free on the morning of May 3rd? I'll be in the office. If it's convenient, come over. Besides signing the contract, there are some other things I want to talk to you about."

Tang Song thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll come over at 10 o'clock."

Xie Shu Yu on the other end chuckled, "Alright, and you can pick up last month's part-time pay while you're at it. From now on, I'll pay you on the 5th of every month."

"Alright, thank you, Sister Xie Shu Yu."

"That's all then, get some rest early, bye."

"Bye."

Hanging up the phone, Xie Shu Yu's figure floated into Tang Song's mind again.

This graceful and capable woman had left a very deep impression on him and had always been a hurdle in his heart.

Last time they met, he had wanted to change her impression of him and boost his self-confidence.

As a result, because of Wang Yunping and Smile Holdings, his performance still hadn't been good.

Now, with his inner growth, his thinking had also undergone significant changes.

The previous inferiority complex had vanished, and thinking about the upcoming meeting, he felt more anticipation than nervousness.

Tang Song exhaled a long breath.

He pulled up a stool and sat on the balcony, opened all the windows, and carefully felt the cool night breeze.

Today was the last day of April.

In this month, his life had undergone earth-shaking changes.

This was also the reason why he changed his screen name to "April".

……

Imperial Capital.

The brightly lit living room was very quiet, with only the sound of turning pages "rustling" from time to time.

"Da-da-da—" The sound of leather shoes hitting the wooden floor sounded.

Assistant Lin stood carefully to the side and whispered, "Jin Dongshi, the flight to Shencheng has been arranged. It takes off at 10:00 AM tomorrow, and the return trip is at 3:00 PM on May 3rd. Qin Yingxue will visit you on the morning of the 2nd..."

Jin Mi Shu leaned on the sofa and listened quietly, her gaze always on the book in her hand.

She was wearing a loose T-shirt and shorts, and her thick, brown long hair was casually pinned behind her head with a shark clip.

Her beautiful face was unadorned, her bare legs were pressed together and tilted slightly, and her posture was very elegant, like clouds and mist.

Assistant Lin couldn't help but secretly size her up.

Even as a woman, she would often marvel at Jin Dongshi's beauty.

After reporting the itinerary, Assistant Lin was about to leave when her footsteps paused.

She said softly, "There is one more thing. The luxury gift box purchase order you mentioned to me before has been updated. Because you have been on vacation for the past two days, I didn't notify you."

"Oh?" Jin Mi Shu raised her head for the first time and looked at Assistant Lin, "Who is it for?"

"The mailing address is the group headquarters, the recipient is your name, and it requires Sheng Tang Security to deliver it on May 20th."

Jin Mi Shu's full, moist lips parted, and a dazed expression appeared on her face.

Assistant Lin, who witnessed this scene with her own eyes, was startled.

Having followed Jin Dongshi for two years, this was the first time she had seen such an expression on her face.

After a long silence, Jin Mi Shu stood up and said in a complicated tone, "Who told you to tell me about this! Today is April 30th, not May 20th!" ===== CHAPTER 85 =====
