Chapter 22

Lathering the complex amino acid facial cleanser into a dense foam, he applied it evenly to his T-zone, chin, sides of his nose, and cheeks, massaging his face thoroughly before rinsing it clean with clear water.

The entire face-washing time was controlled within 4 minutes.

Next, he used a gentle toner to pat and spread, fully hydrating his skin and relieving the feeling of tightness.

Then he used lotion and cream to lock in the moisture in his skin, while also providing moisturizing and nourishing effects.

Because the UV rays were strong today, he finally sprayed on a layer of sunscreen.

It is not easy to have fair and healthy skin.

Tang Song followed the steps guided by Zhao Yaqian, and twenty minutes had already passed.

Afterward, he followed the method taught by Tony to pinch out a qualified American-style front-spiked hairstyle.

He changed into a spring outfit recommended by netizens.

Long sleeves + printed shirt jacket + straight-leg trousers + board shoes.

The clothes were all bought online, and the whole set cost only 500 or 600 yuan, with very good quality.

Standing in front of the mirror and sizing himself up for a while, Tang Song showed a happy smile.

Compared to him on the first day of transformation, earth-shaking changes had really taken place.

He really looked a bit like a trendy man, very fashionable.

After thinking for a moment, he put on the 3D mask again, stood in the same position as when he first posted the photo, and took a full-body selfie.

Opening the Jianying APP, he spliced the two photos together, imported the changes in weight scale values over the past 14 days, the daily fat-loss meals, and exercise volume, photo by photo, added a few smooth transition effects, and finally selected an inspirational BGM.

Soon, a 90-second summary video was done, which also meant his first stage of transformation had officially ended.

Watching it repeatedly a few times, Tang Song couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction in his heart; unknowingly, he had actually done so much.

After sighing for a while, he shared the video to Xiaohongshu.

Title: Summary of the first phase of the "Listen to Advice" transformation Vlog.

Just finished publishing.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—" A few WeChat messages popped up.

In the small group of company colleagues, Guo Peng was sharing actual photos of his beloved car and his experience using the car over the past two days.

It could be seen that Brother Guo really loved his little Civic.

Clearly a senior homebody, yet he drove the car to the suburban park on a weekend morning and stubbornly took many photos with artistic conception.

Soon, other colleagues joined in, discussing the topic of cars heatedly.

Tang Song, who was about to have his first car, couldn't help but join in and chat for a bit.

[Guo Peng: "@Tang Song, it's almost time, get ready to set off? Let's meet at the car repair shop."]

Looking at his watch, it was 9:10.

Thinking of the beloved car he was about to meet, Tang Song couldn't sit still either and replied quickly: "Setting off! See you later!"

[Wang Zhaoyang: "@Tang Song @Guo Peng, remember to share the intended car in the group; we'll help you come up with ideas!"]

[Li Zhichao: "Buying a car is such a big deal, can't be vague; let's pool our wisdom."]

Tang Song smiled and replied with an OK sticker.

This small group only had 5 people, all colleagues with good relationships in the company, who often ordered takeout and played Honor of Kings together, and they were quite concerned about his car purchase.

……

Mingjun Car Repair Shop is located on Taijing Road in Qiaoxi District, with dilapidated two-story buildings on the side of the road, various car parts, and small restaurants standing in great numbers, looking very much like a township style at a glance.

Tang Song got off the taxi, passed through the simple big iron gate, and entered a spacious courtyard.

The first thing that caught his eye were a dozen cars, some arranged neatly, some being dismantled, repaired, or painted.

The surrounding circle was all red-brick bungalows, inside which were placed various equipment: lifts, tire repair machines, polishing machines, paint buckets...

Overall, this was a regular car repair shop that wasn't so aesthetically pleasing.

"Beep, beep, beep—" A short horn sounded.

Guo Peng climbed out of a small sedan, followed by a man wearing blue car repair overalls.

After walking closer, Guo Peng patted his shoulder and said enviously: "Good heavens, you're dressed really trendily today; I really didn't notice before, but you look quite good, your foundation is no worse than Du Shaokai's."

"It's not like I'm buying a car, so naturally I have to dress up."

"Looks like you're determined to get it! Let's go, I'll take you to pick a car! I happen to have a balloon in my car; I'll go pick a bouquet of flowers on the side of the road later, and we'll imitate those 4S shops and hold a car delivery ceremony!"

"Brother Guo is a classy person; this can be done!"

After joking around for a few sentences, Guo Peng introduced: "This is my cousin, Li Mingjun. This is Tang Song, whom I told you about; he's very down-to-earth and is the technical god of our company."

Li Mingjun was in his late twenties, with a crew cut and thick lips, and smiled very kindly.

The two greeted each other and were officially acquainted.

Then they went straight to the point and began to look at cars and test drive them one by one.

There were a total of 5 cars in the courtyard that met his needs, with prices not exceeding 40,000, fuel-efficient, durable, and in high-quality condition.

Although he had seen the text and picture introductions on WeChat before, the feeling of touching the actual car was different.

Exterior, interior, space, the three major parts...

Under Li Mingjun's enthusiastic introduction, Tang Song understood everything in detail inside and out, and had a complete understanding of all the cars.

Since leaving driving school, he hadn't touched a car much, so he was extra cautious when driving.

By the time all 5 cars were test-driven.

Guo Peng leaned over and asked: "How is it? Do you have a decision in your heart?"

"Brother Guo, which one do you think is the best?" Tang Song was a bit indecisive.

For someone who had never owned his own car, he liked every one of them quite a bit.

But to say it was love at first sight and he had to have it, there really wasn't one.

His first car was just to choose a car that he felt most comfortable driving and most pleasing to the eye, satisfying his long-standing small wish.

"I think that Arrizo 5 and the Fit are both quite good; one is newer in year and automatic, the other is value-preserving and fun to drive. Whichever one you choose, you won't regret it."

"They are quite good." Tang Song opened the WeChat group chat; he had sent quite a few videos he took during the test drive and wanted to see the colleagues' opinions.

[Li Zhichao: "The Swift is the most suitable; I think this kind of small car is fun to drive."]

[Wang Zhaoyang: "Must choose the Fit; the engine is awesome, space magician, the back row can be folded down to pull a refrigerator, the best choice for young people!"]

[Liu Mingfang: "If you really want to talk about space, it has to be the Wuling Hongguang. @Tang Song, I saw that white Wuling in the video you took is very good; it has modified headlights, rims, stickers, and a luggage rack on the roof, too suitable for going out to play."]

As soon as this was said, everyone else in the group was amused and started playing with memes.

[Li Zhichao: "Must be Wuling! Mid-engine rear-wheel drive, supercar layout, power unknown, meets the strong and becomes stronger!"]

[Wang Zhaoyang: "It may not be suitable to accompany you to be glorious and dashing when you succeed, but it can accompany you to conquer the world when you are just starting out!"]

…

Tang Song was stunned and cast his gaze toward a white Wuling Hongguang in the corner.

The car body was covered with black-gray patterns, the headlights were round, the rims were smoked black, and it looked exceptionally spirited in the sun.

Noticing his gaze, Li Mingjun laughed: "This is a 2020 Wuling Hongguang S, 1.5 manual high-end version.

The owner is my old customer, and the car has always been maintained and modified here, so the condition is absolutely no problem.

This car is a 5-seater version, and the space is amazing after the back seat is folded down.

Oh right, the owner is a great beauty who runs a clothing store, one-owner car, less than 50,000 kilometers.

Mainly used this car to pull clothes and carry people daily, and the condition is very new.

Because the business really couldn't go on, and her family was urging her to return to her hometown to work, she consigned the car to me."
