Chapter 127: Stalling

Huanle Mingdu.

After the three of them finished shopping for clothes, shoes, and bags, they ran to the beauty area on the first floor.

Zhao Yaqian recommended a set of skincare products based on their skin condition.

As the time after work grew longer, there were more and more people in the mall.

Li Yuanyuan looked at the enthusiastic Zhao Yaqian and couldn't help but remind her, "That's about enough, if you keep buying, I'm afraid you'll have to eat dirt this month."

"Mm-hmm, I've bought everything I wanted to buy, and now I'll have new clothes to wear." Zhao Yaqian held up the shopping bags in her hand and examined them for a while, her face full of the joy of a harvest.

Besides the dress, she also bought a small shawl, T-shirt, shorts, and a pair of flat sandals, all of which were on special promotion.

Total consumption was 1,780 yuan.

Li Yuanyuan checked the time and said, "It's already eight o'clock, let's discuss where to eat."

They had drunk milk tea before and bought some snacks while shopping, so they had been full until now.

"How about fried chicken and beer?" Zhao Yaqian suggested, "The Korean fried chicken shop you took me to before, the taste is excellent."

Li Yuanyuan quickly echoed, "That works, I haven't eaten it in a long time either!"

Jiang Zimu picked up her phone and looked, saying, "Let's wait a few more minutes. Zhang Wensheng heard we were out playing today and wanted to join in the fun; he should be here soon."

Hearing the name Zhang Wensheng, Zhao Yaqian was stunned, then nodded, "Okay."

Her relationship with Zhang Wensheng was not bad; they had known each other in high school, and later she had even borrowed money from him.

Coming over for a meal was nothing.

The only problem was that now that she had a partner, she should pay attention to keeping her distance to avoid any misunderstandings.

"Ring-a-ling—" Her phone rang.

Jiang Zimu quickly took out her phone and answered the call.

"Hey, where are you?"

"Alright, alright, alright, we'll wait for you on the side of the road at the North Gate."

Hanging up the phone, Jiang Zimu smiled at the two, "Zhang Wensheng will be here in two more intersections, let's go over first."

Li Yuanyuan took Zhao Yaqian's arm, "Alright, gogogo, let's eat fried chicken."

Walking out of the mall entrance against the crowd, the warm evening breeze blew on their faces.

Night had fallen, the stars were all over the sky, the lights were on, and the entire square was illuminated by colorful lights.

People were coming and going, bustling and lively.

Among them were many couples, cuddling, hugging, and even kissing.

Zhao Yaqian, who was in the middle of it, couldn't help but think of Tang Song; she also wanted to date and kiss him in such a romantic place.

Thinking about it, she took out her phone and took a selfie with the square as the background, sharing it with Tang Song.

She left a message: "Brother Song, are you still working overtime? It's so lively here, when can we come shopping together?"

Arriving at the side of the road, waiting for Zhang Wensheng.

"Ding-dong—" Zhao Yaqian's phone vibrated.

[Tang Song: "Qianqian is really beautiful, there's a lot of work tonight, are you at Huanle Mingdu?"]

Zhao Yaqian quickly replied: "Yes, I bought new clothes, I'll wear them for you to see later. We just finished shopping and are planning to go eat fried chicken."

[Tang Song: "Which shop? If I can finish work early, I'll come find you."]

Zhao Yaqian instantly showed a big smile and sent the location information over.

"Why is the traffic light so long?"

Zhang Wensheng looked at the crowded traffic ahead, anxious.

It was clearly just a turn away from Huanle Mingdu, but they were stuck here.

Du Guangyin beside him took a photo and shared it to the roommate group, leaving a message: "Almost there, hehe, I'll take photos for you guys later."

The WeChat group instantly boiled over.

They had long heard Zhang Wensheng bragging about how beautiful his high school junior was and how good her figure was, but this guy wouldn't let them see photos, keeping it tightly wrapped.

Zhang Wensheng curled his lips, having no mind to deal with this group of old perverts.

Looking at the brilliant Huanle Mingdu not far away, he gripped the steering wheel tightly, thinking about what posture would be the coolest to get out of the car later.

In his imagination, the traffic continued to flow slowly.

Turning the corner, they were about to reach their destination.

Zhang Wensheng quickly sat up straight, used his hand to fix his hairstyle, and his eyes swept straight toward the side of the road.

Driving forward a bit more, a tall and beautiful figure gradually came into view.

Zhang Wensheng pursed his lips, an excited smile rising on his face.

"Where is your goddess!?" Du Guangyin held up his phone toward the window.

Zhang Wensheng didn't answer him and honked the horn.

"Beep beep—" A crisp honking sound rang out.

He parked his beloved Ling Shuai diagonally on the side of the road, presenting the car's best posture.

Du Guangyin, sitting in the car, looked at the 3 girls on the curb. He knew Jiang Zimu, but hadn't seen the other two.

Soon, his gaze instantly focused on the tallest girl.

Wearing a floral dress, her long black hair was slightly flicked by the evening breeze, and her exposed long legs were straight and plump, looking sexy and beautiful, particularly eye-catching.

Du Guangyin couldn't help but swallow his saliva and quickly pressed the shutter button.

This figure and appearance were even better than those internet celebrity models he saw online.

The key was that this was seen with his own eyes, without beauty filters!

He couldn't help but exclaim: "Holy crap! No wonder you kept it so tight! This is too beautiful!"

Zhang Wensheng gave a proud "Hmph," didn't stall the engine, just put it in neutral and pulled the handbrake, took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and walked down.

A big smile appeared on his face, and he waved, "Qianqian, good evening, haven't seen you in a few months, you're even prettier, and you've matured more."

"Good evening, Zhang Wensheng." Zhao Yaqian greeted him with a smile, then looked at the car parked in front of them, asking in surprise, "Why did you drive over? Is this your car?"

Zhang Wensheng leaned his butt against the hood and laughed, "Yeah, just bought it two days ago, just right to take you three beauties for a ride and eat, saving the trouble of taking a taxi."

Zhao Yaqian immediately gave a thumbs up and said sincerely, "That's amazing! The car looks very cool, is it modified?"

"Yeah, Ling Shuai modified with Mitsubishi EVO kit, very suitable for young people to play with." Zhang Wensheng looked at the girl he had liked for a long time, his emotions somewhat moved and excited.

Being able to own a car in college, even if it was a second-hand car, was already considered very cool.

Making those roommates in his dorm drool with envy, they all called him 'godfather' one after another, wanting to borrow the car.

But the cost was not small; future insurance, repairs, maintenance, and gas were the big expenses.

For him, the pressure was quite high, and he was embarrassed to ask his family for money, so he could only do more part-time jobs.

But everything was worth it.

With a car, he could take Zhao Yaqian on self-driving trips and go see her from time to time.

Li Yuanyuan said unhappily, "Hey, hey, hey, there are two other girls here, aren't you going to say hello?"

"Yuanyuan, Xiaomu, good evening." Zhang Wensheng smiled awkwardly and waved to the passenger seat.

When Du Guangyin climbed out, Zhang Wensheng introduced, "This is my roommate Du Guangyin, he just happened to not have eaten, so he tagged along."

Du Guangyin nodded shyly, "Good evening."

"Hello." "Hello."

After greeting each other.

Zhang Wensheng patted the car he was sitting on and laughed, "Get in, you three beauties, tell me where you want to eat and send me the location."

"Alright, must experience your new car."

"Still that Korean fried chicken shop, not far from our school."

Zhao Yaqian and the other two opened the rear doors and sat in directly.

The car space wasn't large, and Li Yuanyuan and Jiang Zimu were both under 170cm, so it felt okay.

However, Zhao Yaqian, who was tall and long-legged, couldn't stretch out, so she had to tilt her legs and keep them together.

She curiously examined the interior.

It could be seen that it should be an old car, and the interior was very retro.

"Bang!" The door was slammed shut.

"Let's go."

Thinking that the goddess was watching from behind, Zhang Wensheng couldn't help but want to show off.

He leaned back, gripped the steering wheel with his left hand, and released the handbrake with his right.

The corners of his mouth lifted, he stepped on the clutch, and put it in first gear.

With the coordination of the oil and clutch, the vehicle made a low roar.

"Sss—" A discordant note rang out, and the car stalled directly.

"(⊙o⊙)..." Zhang Wensheng scratched his head awkwardly and explained, "New car, still in the break-in period, occasionally this happens."

Jiang Zimu chuckled, "Manual transmission cars are indeed harder, it doesn't matter."

Li Yuanyuan and Zhao Yaqian also comforted him.

Zhang Wensheng quickly collected his thoughts, not daring to show off anymore, restarted the engine, and obediently released the clutch slowly and tapped the gas pedal lightly.

The yellowish halogen headlights illuminated the road ahead.

Songmei Apparel.

Tang Song stretched and stood up from the boss's chair.

Today, besides meetings and participating in filming, he had mainly spent his energy on the secondary development of the OA system.

Because he used existing code, he could use it after simple modifications.

He had just deployed it to his server using dockerfile, and there were basically no problems.

Besides that, he also easily modified and launched the new UI for the Weiguang Coffee mini-program.

He picked up his water cup and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

The city lights and the starlight in the distance reflected each other, and the car lights on the road connected into a bright ribbon of light.

"Knock knock knock—" A knock on the door rang out.

"Please come in." Tang Song turned around.

Gao Mengting pushed the door and walked in, smiling, "The preparation work is all done, we just did a test broadcast, and the equipment and process are all working."

"Thank you for your hard work." Tang Song opened his arms and laughed, "Do you want a hug?"

"No!" Gao Mengting rolled her eyes beautifully, "Off work, bye-bye."

"See you tomorrow, bye-bye~"

Watching his partner leave, Tang Song picked up his phone and clicked on Zhao Yaqian's chat box.

He had been quite busy the last few days and hadn't had time to go see her.

Looking at the beautiful face and sexy figure of his beauty salon friend in the photo.

A smile of appreciation appeared on Tang Song's face.

His beauty salon friend also worked very hard, and now that she had finally become a permanent employee, he had to go over and offer his condolences.

And she happened to be wearing a dress today, so he could touch her wine-glass legs directly without reaching inside!

He packed his things, took his car keys, and walked out of the general manager's office.

The office area was almost empty, with only He Liting and floor manager Zhao Zhiming still checking the content and interaction for tomorrow's livestream.

Tang Song went up to encourage them with a few words, walked out the door, and took the elevator straight to B1.

"Ready to depart, please drive to the underground parking lot exit."

Accompanied by the navigation prompt, the Mercedes-Benz S450L slowly drove out of the basement, merged into the crowded traffic, and became a part of Yancheng's brilliant night view.
