Chapter 180 LiveHouse
Chapter 180 LiveHouse
At 18:30 in the afternoon, the sky gradually darkened.
The gray clouds hung low and rolled constantly, as if they were within reach.
The rapid raindrops hit the spacious and bright floor-to-ceiling windows.
Directly opposite the Taiping River, drizzling rain was rippling across the river.
The rippling water surface and the neon lights of the city in the distance complement each other, forming a beautiful picture.
Under the soft light, laughter could be heard in the hall.
The table was filled with a variety of delicious dishes, from appetizers to main courses to desserts. The presentation was exquisite, the color matching was beautiful, and it was very particular.
Tang Song held a glass of red wine in his hand, looking at the hazy dusk outside the window.
Xiao Jing, who was standing nearby, held her cell phone and pretended to take pictures of the rain outside, but was actually secretly taking pictures of Tang Song...'s hand.
The lines of the hands are smooth, and each joint perfectly highlights the strength and flexibility of men.
Gently hold the handle of the wine glass with your thumb and index finger, and bend the other three fingers naturally.
The crystal clear glass, the wine flowing like rubies, the slender white right hand, the upright dark suit...
Elegant, noble and romantic.
She couldn't help but hold her hands to her heart, her lips slightly parted, her eyes sparkling.
Mr. Tang Song! How can you be so handsome!
Swallowing, Xiao Jing turned to the buffet table and took a few pieces of sushi on a plate.
"Da Da Da" came back to him.
Whispered: "Song, you don't seem to have eaten much tonight, try this signature sushi roll, I heard it's very delicious."
"Thank you, Xiaojing." Tang Song smiled, picked up a piece and tasted it. The seaweed was crispy, the rice was soft and sticky, and the vegetables were refreshing. The taste was distinct. "It's really good. You should try it too."
Xiao Jing tilted her head slightly, looked at his fingers, and said with a smile: "My hands are a little dirty, can you feed me a piece?"
"Um, okay!" Tang Song nodded readily, stretched out his right hand, picked up a piece and put it to her lips.
Xiao Jing squeezed her legs together, leaned forward slightly, opened her rosy little mouth, ate more than half of the piece, and said with sparkling eyes, "It's delicious!"
As he said this, he seemed to be particularly eager to eat the remaining half piece, and he bit into it along with Tang Song's finger.
Her teeth bit gently, and her wet and nimble tongue swept over his fingers with intimacy and warmth.
Tang Song's body shuddered and goose bumps appeared instantly.
Xiaojing’s tongue...there’s something on it!
"Can you feed me another piece?" Xiao Jing seemed to really like sushi. She licked her lips, savoring the taste.
The fresh and pleasant smell of perfume mixed with the girl's body fragrance and the sweet face with a bit of charm made Tang Song's heart beat faster.
You take a piece, I take a piece, and soon the small plate of sushi disappears.
Xiaojing's face flushed with excitement and she went to get some more desserts.
Xie Shuyu, who was chatting with a friend not far away, lowered his head slightly with a complicated look.
Zhang Yurong clinked glasses with her and said with a smile, "Shuyu, you've been so busy lately that your skin has deteriorated. Now that the financing is almost done, do you want to come to our beauty salon for a comprehensive treatment tomorrow? I'll accompany you."
Xie Shuyu subconsciously touched his face, then looked at Tian Jing's fair and moist face, which was full of collagen and seemed to be able to squeeze out water.
It turns out that, without realizing it, I, as a post-90s generation, have already grown old.
She picked up the champagne and took a big sip, then said in a slightly depressed tone, "Then let's do it tomorrow night. It's been a while since I last did nursing."
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Zhang Yurong quickly said, "But Shuyu, you are naturally beautiful, and your skin condition is much better than that of people of the same age."
Xie Shuyu curled his lips and changed the subject, "By the way, I remember you said that your Isa Beauty Salon plans to do light medical beauty projects. How is the preparation going?"
Zhang Yurong smiled bitterly and shook her head. "Before, I thought that if the beauty industry switched to Shuangmei, I just needed to buy some optoelectronic equipment, which would cost hundreds of thousands of yuan for a single store. Later, I consulted Yunjing Consulting for a detailed investigation and evaluation. The investment involved was much greater than I thought, and I really didn't dare to take the risk. For example, Fotona, a piece of equipment costs 140 million yuan, and it can't be sold at a high price."
Xie Shuyu said softly: "It is better to be cautious. The capital market is very conservative now, and cash is king."
"Yeah." Zhang Yurong nodded, a hint of worry appearing on her face.
Nowadays, light medical beauty projects are very popular. Many members have gradually turned to other beauty institutions because they do not have such business.
These are big customers and senior members who are really willing to spend money.
Seeing the business shrinking and income decreasing, Zhang Yurong had no choice but to actively seek change.
However, she just opened two private clubs a few years ago, and now she is a little stretched to enter the field of light medical beauty.
Some time ago, two beauty teams were poached by competitors.
Recently, she has been actively participating in such private gatherings, hoping to find a turning point and see if there are any partners who can help her share the risks.
……
"Ding-ling-ling——" the cell phone rang.
Tian Jing, who was chatting with Tang Song, picked up her phone and looked at it, raising her furry eyebrows.
Liang Yufan?
Just hang up the phone.
She continued, "What games do you usually play? I play King of Glory, Genshin Impact, PUBG, Onmyoji, etc. If you are free, we can play together. I will give you a skin."
Tang Song was about to answer.
"Ding-ling-ling——" the cell phone rang again.
Qi Wen?
Tian Jing made an apologetic expression towards Tang Song and answered the phone casually, "Hello, Sister Wen, what's the matter?"
"Um... sorry, I forgot to tell you that I am accompanying my father to attend the private party of Yan Province Bank, so I will not be able to attend the team building in the evening."
"I really can't get through this, have fun."
"Yeah, I'll see what happens."
After hanging up the phone, Tian Jing stuck out her rosy little tongue, feeling a little ashamed.
I told Qi Wen before that I would go there tonight.
Later, when I found out that Tang Song was coming to the private party, I was so overwhelmed that I forgot to tell her.
"What's wrong, Xiaojing?" Tang Song asked with concern.
Tian Jing smiled and said, "It's nothing. A few colleagues just set up a party and asked me to come over to play. We don't need to worry about it."
At this moment, a deep male voice sounded from the side: "Tang Song, be quiet."
When he looked up, he saw Tian Chengye approaching.
"What's the matter, Dad?"
Tang Song said politely, "Director Tian."
Tian Chengye nodded at him and said with a smile, "Jinxiu Commerce has a very important team building, which will be good for Jingjing's development in the company. If you are free, go over there with her."
The look he gave Tang Song was much gentler than at the beginning.
During the entire private party, apart from bragging, he was always observing the other party.
He performed very well, with good expression ability, cognitive thinking and sense of propriety. The key was that he was confident and calm, with clear goals. He quickly won the favor of many people and did not have the awkwardness and confusion that young people of this age often feel when attending business gatherings.
He is indeed a promising talent.
Tang Song thought for a moment and said, "I'm fine with it. Just look at Xiao Jing."
There was indeed nothing to do tonight, and he also had the task of [Making connections], so if he was lucky, he might be able to complete it directly.
Tian Jing pouted and said unhappily, "Dad, you said that as long as I accompany you to the private party, you don't have to go there. How can you cheat me?"
"Jingjing." Tian Chengye shook his head at her. "Think it over carefully. The private party will end soon. Either you go home with me, or you and Tang Song go to the team building."
He knew his daughter too well, and nothing he said would be of any use at this moment.
She could only persuade Tang Song to accompany her indirectly.
As an old father, he really did his best to pave the way for his daughter.
"Forehead…"
Tian Jing blinked and suddenly realized that if they went to the Livehouse together, she could play with Tang Song until very late.
It was a bar after all. If she drank too much and something happened, it wouldn't be her fault.
She bit her lip and said shyly, "Okay, I should really get in touch with my colleagues more, and I don't want to go home so early."
"Yeah." Tian Chengye smiled and continued, "Tang Song, after all, you are now the CTO, which is a good entry point. Although these people are currently just ordinary middle-level managers, the relationships behind them are complicated and very important.
There is no harm in making appropriate friends, it will be beneficial to your future development.
I have arranged for the driver to wait at the door, you guys can pack up and go over."
"I know, Dad."
"Xiao Jing, wait for me a moment. I'll go over to say goodbye." Tang Song said, then turned and walked towards the wine tasting area.
After walking around a screen, I saw Xie Shuyu chatting with several men and women. She was leaning back in a mahogany chair with her legs crossed. Perhaps because she drank a lot of wine, her fair and dignified face was slightly red.
"Mr. Su, Mr. Zhao, Mr. Li..." Tang Songchao greeted several acquaintances with a smile.
He bent down slightly and whispered, "Sister Shuyu, are you okay?"
Xie Shuyu put down the wine glass, looked up at his handsome face, and said with a smile: "It's okay to drink a few more glasses occasionally. It's almost time. Xiaomin is waiting in the car. I'll take you home later."
Tang Song said, "Don't worry about me. The company has a team building tonight. Tian Jing and I will go and join in. We'll be leaving soon."
Xie Shuyu's eyes twitched, and he was silent for a moment, then he said briskly, "Then be careful on the road, and remember to take your phone with you. Bye."
"Bye~" Tang Song smiled at her, said goodbye to the others, and turned to leave.
Looking at his handsome back, Su Ping sighed, "Tang Song is indeed very good. No wonder Director Tian's daughter likes him."
When she first saw this handsome young man in a well-dressed suit, she had some thoughts.
After all, the other person's appearance and temperament are outstanding, and now I dare not even think about it.
Xie Shuyu pursed his lips tightly, feeling mixed emotions, not knowing what he was thinking about.
If Tang Song could get together with Tian Chengye's daughter, it would be beneficial to both him and himself as his friend.
This means that your "investment" in him will bring you huge returns.
But I just can't be happy.
...
"Click——" the car door was closed gently.
The black Maybach S480 started slowly and drove into the rainy and foggy night.
The bright yellow street lights on the roadside flashed by, and the quiet car was dimmed.
Tang Song looked at the surrounding interior and compared it with his own Mercedes-Benz S450.
The overall look is similar, but more luxurious and refined.
For example, more metal and wood splicing, rear entertainment system, etc.
Xiao Jing moved her butt to the middle, breathed in his scent, and secretly looked at his beautiful hands that were crossed.
Tiantian said: "Song, thank you for accompanying me on this trip."
"It's okay. I've always wanted to chat and have a meal with you. It's nice to meet you by chance today."
Looking at Xiaojing's sweet face, Tang Song's eyes unconsciously fell on her rosy lips.
I wonder if I’ll have a chance to collect some of her body fluids tonight so I can see what buffs she carries.
Hearing his words, Xiaojing smiled widely.
He whispered, "We are going to Drink Old on Beibin Road, a live house just opened by our colleague Li Jun and his family. I haven't been there yet, but it looks pretty good from the photos. Do you have any favorite drinks? I'll ask him to arrange it in advance."
"I seldom drink, so it's okay." Tang Song had never been to a bar and had no idea what was going on inside.
"Then I'll ask him to prepare some craft beers and light cocktails for you. You eat little at night, so prepare some food." Xiao Jing took out her cell phone from her bag and sent a message to Li Junyi.
Just about to put down the phone.
"Ding ding ding——" the WeChat voice invitation sounded.
Xiao Jing raised her eyebrows and answered the voice call, "Hello, Brother Du, what's going on?"
"About 20 minutes. It's raining today, so the road is quite congested."
"Ah, no need to pick me up, just send me the booth location."
"Really? I can just find a waiter."
"I don't want to chat with you anymore. I have something urgent to do here. Bye, see you later."
After hanging up the phone, she saw Tang Song's gaze and explained with a smile: "It's Du Shaokai. He transferred to the channel department some time ago. He is currently Sister Wen's subordinate. He is also there to join in the fun tonight."
"Du Shaokai." Tang Song muttered softly, without much ripples in his heart.
With his current mentality and status, he has absolutely no interest in these small monsters in the Novice Village.
In the darkness, Xiaojing, who was sitting in the back seat, had her eyes twinkled and took out a tube of hand cream from her bag.
"Jigu——" a large section was squeezed out directly.
After applying it twice, he raised his head and said with a smile, "Song, I accidentally squeezed too much and it's a waste if I can't use it all. Can you help me solve it?"
Tang Song nodded, stretched out his hands readily, and was about to take the hand cream away.
Xiao Jing had already taken the initiative and directly held his hand.
Then, the oily hand cream moves across the skin.
Silky, smooth, delicate and soft.
Tang Song licked his lips, and his flexible and powerful hands began to operate, turning the tables.
Xiaojing bit her lower lip hard, feeling unprecedented stimulation.
My body was trembling slightly and I wanted to shout out in excitement.
This all-round, no-dead-angle kneading and caressing of each other's hands made her feel dizzy, her face blushing and her heart beating fast.
After a long while, Tang Song felt that both of their hands were starting to get hot, so he let out a long sigh and stopped his little movements.
Xiaojing felt weak all over and her clothes felt dirty.
Luckily the leggings I wore today are quite absorbent, otherwise there would have been marks left.
……
Neon lights flicker in the night and drizzle.
Drink Old.
The colorful lights constantly change with the rhythm of the music, and dynamic symbols jump on the giant LED screen.
Customers sat or stood, forming a lively circular area around the stage.
Live House is a small music performance venue with a professional performance space and high-quality sound effects.
Perfect for enjoying musical performances up close.
In order to cater to the market, domestic Live Houses usually exist in the form of bars.
Many bands and new generation musicians also use this place as a platform for performance and promotion.
The sofa area on the second floor.
Du Shaokai put down his phone and said, "Xiao Jing will be here in about 20 minutes. I'll pick her up later."
However, no one paid any attention to him, only Qi Wen smiled.
Du Shaokai took a deep breath and looked at the young boys sitting opposite the sofa as if facing a formidable enemy.
Liang Yufan from the Investor Relations Department, Li Junyi from the Strategic Planning Department, Yue Minyang from the Audit Department, and Su Hang from the Legal Department.
Each of these four male colleagues is a standard tall, rich and handsome man.
For example, Li Junyi's family opened many bars, clubs, KTVs in Yancheng, and also a textile company, which has close cooperation with Jinxiu Trading.
Although his family is well off, it can't compare with this kind of rich second generation.
All the so-called connections in the company came from my uncle who was the vice president.
In recent times, I was first overwhelmed by the affairs of Tang Song, and now there are so many competitors, which is really stressful.
And the intimate behavior between Tang Song and Tian Jing last time in Xingyue City clearly showed that there was something going on.
But things have come to this point. He has invested so much time, energy and money in Tian Jing. The sunk cost is too high and he is unwilling to give up.
That's why I had to rush over here today.
I really can't bear to see these Bs flirting with goddesses. He was the first one to make the move!
But the result was tragic, he was completely isolated, sitting alone in a corner, and these bastards ignored him completely!
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Qi Wen picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Comrades, come on, let's have a drink."
There were three girls sitting around her. Although they were not very good-looking, they were dressed exquisitely and beautifully and had good temperaments.
"Ding ding--" the collision sounds rang out one after another.
Du Shaokai took a sip of the cocktail, his face turned slightly red, and he felt uncomfortable looking at the laughing atmosphere around him.
The fun is theirs, I have nothing.
"Du Shaokai!?" At this moment, a surprised female voice sounded from the side.
Du Shaokai turned around in surprise and saw several familiar figures. After a brief recollection, a few names immediately popped up.
University alumni, Qiu Yu and Wang Ning, majoring in software engineering.
