How about I treat you to a big dinner?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Mengting blinked and replied, \"Sorry, I already have plans tonight. I'll take a rain check on that dinner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Is it with a guy or a girl?\" Tang Song teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Mengting froze for a moment, then awkwardly looked away, \"It's with my schoolmate. She worked hard on our logo design, creating six versions in three days. The 1,500-yuan design fee was a bargain, so I want to treat her to dinner as a thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given her skill level, her design work usually started at 5,000 yuan at a design company. She would also handle various post-production size and format adjustments, so the 1,500 yuan was indeed a super friendship price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay,\" Tang Song smiled handsomely, \"Don't forget to get an invoice. Any company expenses can be reimbursed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're so generous, President Tang!\" Gao Mengting laughed lightly, covering her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Gao Mengting's phone rang. Tang Song glanced at it and saw the caller ID read \"Qiuqiu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Qiuqiu, I'm about to get off work. You can head out now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun gradually set in the west. Tang Song drove his black BMW 330 along the orange-lit streets, heading out of the southern second ring road. After a few turns, lush locust trees lined the sides of the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar feeling washed over him. Various shops, colorful signs, snack bars, street vendors, bookstores, and accessory shops adorned the street. The passersby, mostly young men and women, exuded a vibrant energy. They walked in groups, laughing and playing, full of youthful vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the commercial street outside Yan City University of Technology, where he had lived for four years. He hadn't returned since graduating and becoming busy with life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, on his way home from work, he felt a sudden urge to revisit and taste some familiar foods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Parking his car, Tang Song stood by the roadside for a while, then started walking. Fried chicken, grilled cold noodles, stinky tofu, candied hawthorn... Before he knew it, he had several bags in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he entered a traditional beef noodle shop he used to frequent during university. Three years had passed, but the place remained unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not worrying about whether he could finish it all, he ordered a large bowl of wide noodles with tofu skin, pork, meatballs, and eggs. Finding a seat by the window, he enjoyed the delicious food while observing the passing students. The sky outside darkened, and the streetlights illuminated the world in a warm yellow glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song paused eating as a wave of nostalgia hit him. It felt like a scene from yesterday, though it had been years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the bustling street, Li Shumin pouted, \"I still want to eat snail noodles. What should I do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jiahong grumbled, \"You've had it two days in a row. Even your farts smell like it now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... you're talking nonsense as if your farts don't stink!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They bickered for a bit before Li Shumin grabbed Yao Lingling's arm, \"Lingling, you decide what we eat tonight. I'm starving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Lingling scanned the row of shops and pointed at one, \"Let's have noodles. The portions are big, and we can add extra toppings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let's go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to add eggs and meatballs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at you, I'll add pork!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three girls chatted and laughed as they entered the shop. After a brief chat with the owner and ordering their food, they realized there were no empty tables left, so they had to share with someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shumin spotted a table in the corner, \"There's a cute guy over there by himself. Let's sit with him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From their position, they could only see his side and back, but his figure, outfit, and profile suggested he was indeed good-looking. Having a meal while admiring a cute guy was always a plus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three girls exchanged smiles and headed over. In such small eateries, sharing tables wasn't a big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shumin and Zhang Jiahong sat opposite him, sneaking glances at his face. Yao Lingling, more straightforward, patted his shoulder and smiled, \"Hey there. Mind if I sit here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the familiar voice, Tang Song, who was slurping noodles, looked up in surprise. The four of them froze for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief silence, Yao Lingling's eyes widened, \"April! No way, what a coincidence!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shumin and Zhang Jiahong exchanged dumbfounded looks. The online blogger they followed was right in front of them. It felt like an online-to-real-life moment. They had just video-chatted yesterday, and now they met in person. What a small world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is a coincidence, isn't it? Yan City is huge, and yet we meet in a small shop like this,\" Tang Song said, moving to the inner seat and inviting, \"Sit down, let's chat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Lingling quickly sat down. Tang Song greeted them with a smile, \"Lingling, Minmin, and Little Red, good evening.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he smiled, the three girls were momentarily dazzled, taking in his handsome features. Tang Song felt a bit uncomfortable under their intense gazes, \"Why are you staring at me like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Lingling resisted the urge to pinch his face, \"April, you're even more handsome in person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, totally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Absolutely, this transformation is the best I've seen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shumin and Zhang Jiahong nodded vigorously. They had thought he was good-looking from the video, but seeing him in person exceeded their expectations. His red lips and white teeth, as well as his smile, were gentle and incredibly handsome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song's face turned slightly red, \"Stop calling me by my online name. Use my real name, Tang Song.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nice to officially meet you. I'm Yao Lingling.\"The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the NoveI-Fire.ɴet\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm Li Shumin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four of them chatted briefly, reintroducing themselves. Tang Song placed the snacks he had bought on the table, smiling, \"I bought too much food. Now we can share.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the variety of snacks, the three girls gulped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This isn't right...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine. We're all friends, and I really can't finish it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tang Song, you should know I'm a loyal fan so I won't be polite.\" Li Shumin licked her lips, grabbed a drumstick, and took a big bite, \"This is from the crispy fried chicken shop at the corner, right? It's delicious!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The stinky tofu is also great.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their noodles arrived, and the four chatted while eating. The three girls were lively, chatting about him and the food, making it hard for Tang Song to get a word in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, Yao Lingling explained, \"We're all students from Yan City University of Technology, graduated last year. Since we're familiar with the area, we rented a place nearby and often eat around here. It's cheap and filling.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song was surprised, then smiled, \"So, you're my juniors! I graduated in 2020. When you started, I was a junior. We might have seen each other on campus.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1174,"2026-06-06T14:41:47.870Z",1,"novelbin.me","3da97f843d21f521459a5305636688ee6e163991ce40e76d926e197637def212","maxing-out-charisma-inheriting-game-assets-chapter-84","maxing-out-charisma-inheriting-game-assets-chapter-82",874,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmaxing-out-charisma-inheriting-game-assets-cover.jpg"]
