Chapter 9

11:40 AM.

Tang Song got off the taxi, sent a message to Xie Shuyu first, and then looked up at the Yanbin Building in front of him.

A three-story detached building along the street, the dark gray facade is dotted with simple lines and geometric patterns, looking very stylish.

Through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, the interior is modern and fashionable, clean and tidy.

It’s no wonder it has become a popular internet celebrity check-in spot.

Passing through the dark glass door, he bumped into a familiar figure.

Zhao Yue in a blue dress and a tall, thin boy.

Walking closer, Tang Song also recognized the boy, Wang Yubo from the sales department, a very honest and spirited young man.

The two seemed to be queuing for a table, chatting and laughing together, their movements looking very intimate, like a man and woman in an ambiguous period.

Seeing Tang Song enter, the waiter in charge of greeting quickly stepped forward, enthusiastically: "Hello, sir, how many?"

"Two, already booked, Table 10 on the 2nd floor."

"Alright, I’ll take you there."

Hearing the familiar voice, Zhao Yue’s ears moved, and she turned to look over here.

The embarrassed look on her face flashed away, and she subconsciously let go of Wang Yubo’s arm.

Tang Song smiled and took the initiative to greet them, "Good noon, Zhao Yue, Yubo."

Zhao Yue smoothed the bangs on her forehead, pretending to be nonchalant, "Hello~ Brother Song, you’re also here to eat? Wow! This outfit today is really handsome! The hairstyle is also very good!"

Tang Song had always been a standard otaku style in the company, with hairstyles only differing in length, and two or three sets of clothes rotated.

Today’s slightly trendy outfit was the first time she had seen it, and it was indeed eye-catching.

Tang Song smiled and said casually, "The dress you’re wearing today is also very beautiful."

The three stood together and exchanged a few pleasantries, Tang Song waved his hand, laughing: "Then I’ll go up first, bye."

After saying that, he followed the waiter up the stairs.

Watching his figure disappear at the corner of the stairs, Zhao Yue gripped the shoulder strap of her bag tightly, a flash of shame and annoyance in her eyes.

Just worried that if she bumped into Tang Song, he would be jealous and make a scene, but after finding that the other party had no reaction, she felt uncomfortable in her heart.

It felt like a fish she had raised in her pond had run away.

Just then, the waiter quickly walked over, "You two, there’s a seat upstairs, I’ll take you there."

?C〇

Went upstairs to the second floor and sat down in a corner near the wall.

Wang Yubo opened the QR code for the set meal for two, and let the waiter verify the coupon.

Zhao Yue scanned the entire restaurant nonchalantly and quickly found Tang Song’s figure.

Sitting in the best position in the restaurant, on the east side by the window, spacious and quiet.

Yanbin Building is a very popular internet celebrity restaurant, and it is very difficult to book that position on weekends; it needs to be booked in advance.

Thinking of Tang Song’s outfit and attitude today, Zhao Yue’s eyes flashed, and she instantly had a guess in her heart.

He must be on a date with some girl!

Hu Mingli? Li Yan?

Several names popped up in her mind, all female colleagues who had a good relationship with Tang Song in the company.

Noticing Zhao Yue’s abnormality, Wang Yubo glanced over.

He laughed and said, "I didn't expect this technical otaku Tang Song to have a romantic side. Does he have a girlfriend?"

"I don't know very well, maybe."

"The wine-scented meat and steamed dishes in this shop are particularly great, and the plating is also very exquisite. I’ll help you take photos later."

"Alright, I trust your photography skills."

Zhao Yue chatted with Wang Yubo while secretly observing Tang Song.

Seeing the other party staring at the stairs, seemingly waiting for something.

She still couldn't hold back and sent several messages to Tang Song in a row.

"Brother Song, Yubo just got promoted, said he wanted to treat me to a meal to celebrate. We are good buddies, and our relationship has always been good, haha."

"By the way, forgot to ask just now, Brother Song, who are you on a date with today?"

"Dressed up so carefully? Don't tell me it’s some big beauty from our company?"

After a while, "Buzz, buzz, buzz—" the phone vibrated a few times.

[Tang Song: "Indeed a big beauty, but not from our company (#smile)"]

Zhao Yue took a deep breath, feeling even more uncomfortable.

Although Tang Song’s conditions and looks were not very good, his technical ability was outstanding; he was the programmer with the highest level in the entire department.

Besides backend, his frontend level was also good, and he had helped her a lot in the company.

Gritting her teeth, Zhao Yue continued to reply: "Hehe, then is she prettier than me? Otherwise, why don't I see Brother Song taking the initiative to treat me to a meal! (#sad) (#doge)"

……

Looking at the message from Zhao Yue, Tang Song couldn't help but laugh.

He really didn't know how she could be so "confidently ordinary."

Zhao Yue at most could be considered not ugly; she had a few small advantages in her features, and through makeup and concealer, she could barely be considered a 6-point little beauty.

Maybe she took the face in the photos on her Moments, which had been beautified and edited, as her real self.

Just as he was thinking about how to reply to her, a beautiful figure flashed into his sight, making Tang Song’s heartbeat skip a beat.

Even though there were many people on the second floor, when you looked in that direction, you would still notice her in the first instance.

As soon as she appeared, she was the focus of the crowd.

This was the most intuitive manifestation of a person’s charm.

Besides looks and body, there was also an outstanding temperament and aura.

This was also the direction he was working hard toward.

Tang Song took a deep breath, stood up from his seat, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

…

Zhao Yue in the corner was still waiting for Tang Song’s reply, and after finding no reaction, she looked at him again, noticing his movement of standing up in the first instance.

Her heart moved, and she looked in the direction of his gaze.

The expression on her face instantly froze.

Walking over was a woman with a model’s body, tall and thin.

Features bright, skin fair, hair black and thick.

Coffee-colored casual shirt, plaid A-line skirt, flesh-colored stockings, brown high heels, and a camel-colored coat with outstanding texture draped over her arm.

She looked dignified, elegant, fashionable, and had a unique attraction.

Although she looked very thin, her spirit was particularly good, her posture was upright, and her eyes were bright.

She gave people a clean, neat, and decisive impression.

Like a beautiful female CEO in a TV show.

And the clothes and accessories on her body looked very expensive at a glance.

Although Zhao Yue didn't know what brand it was, she recognized the bag the other party was carrying on her shoulder.

The LV "Gilded Sahara" worth over 200,000, known as the ceiling of crocodile skin, was a luxury item she dreamed of.

Watching her walk to the opposite side of Tang Song bit by bit.

Zhao Yue muttered blankly: "This… can't be, right?"
