Chapter 46

"Knock, knock, knock—"

"Please come in!"

The private room door was slowly pushed open.

Gao Mengting walked in with a graceful figure, "Mr. Tang, sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Miss Gao, please sit." Tang Song stood up and said, "I haven't been here long myself; the dishes haven't all been served yet."

"Thank you." Gao Mengting sat down with a smile.

Li Yongming sized up the environment inside the private room for a while and sighed with a click of his tongue, "It's just lunch, you're really generous."

The minimum spend for a private room at Juhui De was 1,200 yuan; it was clear that Tang Song was aiming to win over Gao Mengting.

Unfortunately, this guy didn't know that his goddess wasn't the type to be flashy, nor did she like this kind of extravagant and wasteful behavior.

During college, many rich second-generation heirs who pursued her were eliminated exactly like this.

Tang Song ignored this show-off and handed over the iPad for ordering, "I've ordered a few signature dishes; see if there's anything else you'd like to eat."

Gao Mengting reached out to take it, glanced at it briefly, and smiled, "There's already a lot; we won't be able to finish all this."

"How did the rent talk go?"

"It went quite smoothly, at least I can push it back a few months. Once I process the goods in my warehouse, I'll be able to make up the difference." Gao Mengting put her bag on the chair next to her, leaned back, and looked up at the dazzling chandelier on the ceiling.

"That's good. The most difficult time has already passed."

From the first day he met her, he had felt that she was in a state of tension and exhaustion.

Seeing her finally relax, Tang Song felt happy for her as well.

Li Yongming looked at the two of them chatting and laughing, his eyebrows twitching.

He couldn't help but interject, "The property management leaders happened to be hosting a big client today. It was only with this big shot present that Mengting's matter could be resolved so smoothly."

When he said "big shot," he deliberately raised his volume a bit, "Yunli Hotel, have you heard of..."

"Yongming!"

Li Yongming wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Gao Mengting's stern voice.

Seeing the goddess's look, Li Yongming smiled awkwardly and forced an explanation, "I just wanted to let Tang Song broaden his horizons."

Gao Mengting pursed her full lips; she was truly a bit disappointed in this old classmate of hers.

It was like this in college, and now that it had been three years since graduation, his psychological quality and personal ability still hadn't improved much.

The key was that he wouldn't listen to advice.

Just then, a waiter carrying a tray walked in and served the remaining dishes.

Tang Song gestured toward Gao Mengting, "Let's eat and talk."

"Alright, to be honest, I'm quite hungry; I haven't really eaten anything since last night."

"I heard the Sichuan-style tripe here is a specialty; you should try it."

"The texture is really good, tender and bouncy. Delicious!"

The two chatted briefly, and the atmosphere gradually became pleasant and harmonious.

Gao Mengting got up, picked up the teapot, and took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Tang Song.

Li Yongming, sitting to the side, was stunned, his face turning very ugly.

Gao Mengting pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Tang, why did you suddenly want to start a clothing e-commerce business? You can share your thoughts; even if we can't cooperate, I can provide you with some reference suggestions."

She wasn't someone who didn't know what was good for her, and she had some insight into people.

Tang Song had paid for the car cleanly and decisively, came to support her business today, drove them to Juhui De, and even specifically opened a private room and ordered so many signature dishes.

Being able to do this much at least showed that he was sincere, patient, and confident.

Now that a weight had been lifted from her heart, she didn't mind listening to the other party talk about the business venture. Whether it worked out or not was another matter, but at least the attitude had to be right.

Tang Song weighed his words and said, "The company I currently work for is engaged in clothing channel trading, which is the main reason I chose this industry."

"Oh? Would you mind saying which company it is?"

"Jinxiu Trading."

Gao Mengting said in surprise, "That's the big brother of Yancheng's clothing trade. I've had contact with your company's agents before."

Tang Song nodded gently and introduced his advantages in terms of suppliers and source data.

Gao Mengting, who was listening quietly, had eyes that grew brighter and brighter.

She couldn't help but exclaim, "My initial sources were all found on platforms like 1688, Aimaimai, and Duoduo. I contacted them one by one and tested and compared them piece by piece before I finally managed to get the channels running. Because I couldn't get competitive prices for authentic goods, I mainly did end-of-line clearance."

After discussing the supply chain, Gao Mengting had already adjusted her mindset.

It was clear that Tang Song had indeed put in the effort and wasn't joking.

Then, the two talked about platform selection, payment cycles, after-sales service, and early-stage account growth strategies.

When Tang Song mentioned "one million" and the "Yunxi Building office" again and issued an invitation to cooperate.

Gao Mengting hadn't had a chance to speak yet.

Li Yongming couldn't sit still anymore; he chuckled a few times and asked with great interest, "Pardon me for asking, but which floor is your Yunxi Building office on? What's the room number?"

"The 30th floor, 3001 and 3002, totaling 200 square meters."

Li Yongming slapped the table excitedly, beaming with joy, "Big brother, can you find out the facts before you brag?

Just now you said you prepared 1 million in funds, and I could just laugh it off.

But the 30th floor of Yunxi Building is the office area reserved by the real estate company itself; it's never rented out to outsiders!

Don't try to argue; I'm a real estate agent for Aijia Real Estate, and I currently also handle the leasing business for Yunxi Building. I know that place very well."

"I didn't say I rented it." Tang Song frowned and said to Gao Mengting, "The office is my own property; there's no pressure from rent."

"This..." Gao Mengting was stunned, not having reacted yet.

Li Yongming gave a thumbs up, "Good heavens, it's getting more and more exaggerated!

You might as well say the whole Yunxi Building is yours, or to be even more exaggerated, say you're the boss of Yunxi Real Estate.

Then I'd have to call you Mr. Tang! Hehe, Mr. Tang, please continue!"

The private room went quiet instantly, with a faint awkwardness lingering in the air.

Gao Mengting bit her lip, wanting to say something.

She naturally knew about Yunxi Building; it and Baoyun Center were both projects developed by Yunxi Real Estate, and the property management was the same team.

The property rights there were rarely sold to outsiders.

"Knock, knock, knock—" A knock on the door suddenly sounded.

A somewhat familiar voice came from the doorway: "Mr. Tang, are you available now?"
