Chapter 207 Gymnastics Uniform and Twin Ponytails
Chapter 207 Gymnastics Uniform and Twin Ponytails
As night falls, the starlight and the neon lights of the city complement each other.
Tang Song leaned against the glass curtain wall of the living room, staring at the distant skyline in a daze, taking a sip of cold whiskey from time to time.
My mind is filled with the look of Wenruan when she left for the last time.
This was the first time he saw her cry.
She didn't make a fuss or get hysterical, and even when she cried she was emotionally stable.
It was precisely because of this that Tang Song could feel her inner struggle and pain even more.
It is undeniable that I liked her at first simply because of her amazing figure and outstanding looks.
However, as they got to know each other better, Tang Song's feelings for her gradually deepened, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he loved her.
He has a gentle, free and easy personality, a wide range of interests and a relaxed lifestyle.
She has a strong inner core of her own, is not disturbed by the outside world, and is mentally and financially independent.
She always treats him like a tolerant and caring older sister, and doesn't mind playing some interesting games with him.
Informed, interesting, graceful and gentle as water.
Few people would dislike such a woman, and Tang Song is no exception.
But he really couldn't give the other party the marriage that she most desired.
Actually, if you think about it, the two of them first met under the name of a "blind date".
Sighing, Tang Song put down the wine glass.
He went to the study, picked up his folk guitar and began to pluck the strings, casually changing the chord rhythm.
Hum along with the melody from time to time.
Feeling a little tired from singing, Tang Song sat on the balcony again and picked up the drawing board and pencil.
As a professional sketch artist and guitarist, he has a strong desire to express himself when his emotions are stirred.
There seem to be countless inspirations in my mind.
After thinking for a while, he spread the drawing board flat on the desk, turned on the sports camera, pointed it at the drawing paper, and started shooting.
He took out a pencil from the toolbox and used a sharpener to scrape out layers of black powder, which he spread randomly on the snow-white drawing paper.
He took out a tissue and wiped the drawing paper hard.
Soon, the snow-white drawing paper was stained light gray.
Turn off the main light in the study, leaving only the downlight in the corner, and the drawing paper instantly becomes dark and blurry.
Tang Song picked up the eraser and slid his fingers quickly across the drawing paper, with the friction sound continuing.
After a few minutes, Tang Song's slender and shiny fingers became dirty.
He casually threw away the eraser in his hand, turned on the ambient light next to him, pinched a corner of the drawing paper, and shook it gently.
In an instant, lead powder fell and a portrait appeared on the drawing paper.
The lighting of the Tyndall effect, the fluttering hair, the hunched shoulders, the eyes filled with tears…
Turn off the camera.
Tang Song stared at the sketch for a long time and gently touched her eye sockets.
……
July 2023, 6, Monday, sunny, 5~18℃.
North City Garden Community.
------
"Do you like it? Qingqing."
The sunlight shines through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a golden glow on the tall figure of Tang Song.
His facial features are three-dimensional and profound, and there is a sense of determination and confidence between his brows, as if he can see through everything in the world.
Xu Qing scanned the entire layout of the villa. The color matching, decoration, and layout were all her favorites.
He put a bunch of keys in her hand and said, "This villa is prepared for you. You will live here from now on. I will arrange a nanny, driver, life assistant, and bodyguard for you. Of course, I can also show up here at any time if you need me."
"Ahem..." Xu Qing coughed lightly, "I like it very much, so I accepted it with reluctance. Well, you can arrange everything that needs to be arranged."
"As long as you like it!" His eyes were full of affection, as if he was looking at the most precious thing in the world.
"Oh, and my best friend."
"No problem, your best friend is my best friend. I will buy her a big villa next door so that you can be neighbors for life."
"That's not necessary. She and I can just live in this apartment."
"I'll listen to you. The three of us can live here together as long as you are happy." Tang Song responded and went straight up to hug her.
Xu Qing let out a low cry, at a loss, her face flushed red.
------
"Qingqing! Qingqing!" A fresh and healing voice sounded in the bedroom.
Xu Qing screamed "Ah" and sat up from the bed with a blushing face.
Looking at her best friend standing at the head of the bed, she avoided her gaze and asked, "What's wrong, Yanyan?"
Shen Yuyan pinched her chubby face and said, "Hurry up and get up. The sun is shining on your butt. You're going to be late."
"Ah?" Xu Qing picked up the phone on the bedside table, looked at it, exclaimed, and started changing clothes quickly.
In recent days, her novel has been getting better and better, the new male protagonist is more popular than the previous president, the readers' feedback is getting better and better, and she even has her own fan base.
I was so excited about writing a novel last night that I didn’t fall asleep until 1 a.m. and overslept.
I also had a strange dream.
Sometimes reality, sometimes fiction.
Sometimes Xu Yanqing, sometimes Xu Qing.
"What kind of dream did you just have? When I came in, I heard you laughing and rolling around in the quilt." Shen Yuyan looked at her in confusion.
Hearing her best friend's question, Xu Qing blushed, shrank her neck, and shook her head, "I don't remember."
But I couldn't help but recall the scenes in my dream.
Because "Xu Yanqing" is a combination of "Xu Qing" and "Shen Yuyan", at the end of the dream, the two of them and Tang Song lived in the villa together.
So embarrassing!
Shen Yuyan stared at her for a while and said, "Hurry up and pack your things. I'll drive you to the company later."
"Oh, okay." Xu Qing responded, lowered her head and went into the bathroom.
Shen Yuyan shook her head and chuckled, then went back to the bedroom and started putting on makeup.
More than ten minutes later, the two hurried downstairs and got into a black Mercedes-Benz E.
Xu Qing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, adjusted the seat and looked at the interior curiously. "Not bad, the car is suitable for your status as a big boss."
"Boom boom..." Shen Yuyan started the car skillfully and said with a smile: "If I wasn't going to participate in the event, I wouldn't be willing to rent such an expensive car."
Youjie Housekeeping is still just a small company with limited cash flow, and naturally it does not have the ability to provide cars to its senior executives.
Even the agreement signed with the car rental company is only a short-term rental contract, which means you can order it when you need it.
For example, the daily rental price for this Mercedes-Benz E without a driver is 700 yuan.
It was a price she could accept.
This [Yancheng Entrepreneurship Incubation Base] event is an official support activity, which is very friendly to their pure college student entrepreneurial team.
And some investment institutions will also be present, which is a good opportunity.
As the two were chatting, Xu Qing touched the chain handbag that Tang Song had given her, took out a Chanel lipstick from it, and started operating it in the makeup mirror on the passenger seat.
Shen Yuyan glanced at her and said, "You still won't tell me who the boy who is pursuing you is?"
Xu Qing paused and said with a red face: "We are just friends. I contacted him to help you get investment."
When it comes to investment, Shen Yuyan's eyes dimmed instantly.
She has great fantasies about Youjie Housekeeping and devotes all her energy and time to it.
In the early stages of the business, Zhang Tianqi provided channel services, Hou Shaoyuan provided the main funding, and she was responsible for management and operations.
Everything goes smoothly.
Over the past two years, the company has achieved stable profitability and is on the right track.
However, it encountered unprecedented difficulties in financing.
The company is stuck in a bottleneck, the project is not attractive, the partners are not enthusiastic, and the investors are giving a cold shoulder...
She was at a loss as to where to start and how to proceed in the future.
"Ding Dong——" the WeChat notification sound rang.
Xu Qing picked up the phone and took a look. She was a little surprised at first, but when she saw the message clearly, her furry eyebrows instantly frowned.
[Tang Song: "CPU: Intel i9-13900KS, motherboard: ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790, power supply: ASUS ROG Thunder God II 1600W..."]
There were water cooling, computer cases, fans, graphics card brackets, etc., more than a dozen items in total, which made Xu Qing dizzy.
This… there are so many things to assemble a computer!
Sticking out her tongue, Xu Qing replied, "Got it! I'll ask that alumnus to help me order it."
The message just went out.
"Ding-dong-"
【Tang Song: "WeChat transfer 50000.00, please receive the payment"】
[Tang Song: "Thank you for your hard work, Qingqing. The market price of this set should be around 4. The extra money is just for your hard work."]
"Ah!" Xu Qing covered her mouth and exclaimed, her dark eyes widened instantly.
1 yuan for hard work! I'm rich! I'm rich!
"What's wrong, Qingqing?" Shen Yuyan looked at her puzzledly.
"Nothing, just focus on driving, I'm chatting with my friends." Xu Qing wiped her saliva and quickly clicked the green payment button.
Then, the interface jumps.
[You have received the payment, and the funds have been deposited into the change. ￥50000.00. ]
Looking at the long string of numbers in the WeChat balance, Xu Qing trembled slightly with excitement.
His mind raced, and he realized that he still had nearly 5 yuan in his bank card, plus the balance on WeChat, he would only be six or seven hundred yuan away from yuan!
No, there is still some money in her little piggy bank. If you smash it open and count the money, it will be a huge sum of one hundred thousand!
From childhood to adulthood, Xu Qing has never been so rich!
It's a pity that I was just passing through and had to buy all kinds of computer accessories.
After brainstorming for a while, Xu Qing typed back, "Okay! I'll arrange it for you!"
After that, she forwarded it directly to her schoolmate Liu Shuaibo, leaving a message: "Shuaibo, use your internal channels to see how much these cost!"
Fortunately, I have a friend who sells it on the market for 4 yuan. With the help of Liu Shuai Bo, I might be able to get it for more than 3 yuan.
In this way, the 1.4 with 4090 will be back! Hooray!
Then, Xu Qing looked at her best friend, bit her lip gently, and sent another message to Tang Song: "By the way, I think you have read the business plan of Youjie Housekeeping. What do you think of it, Mr. Tang?"
After waiting for a while, there was still no reply from him. Xu Qing was so anxious that she wanted to pee. Although she was happy to make money, her bestie's career was a big deal.
He said before that as long as there was no problem with the company, he would invest.
No way, he definitely wouldn't cheat on such a cute girl like me! ?
"Qingqing, we're almost downstairs at your company, get ready to get off." Shen Yuyan patted her cold thigh, "Why do I feel your legs are shaking?"
Xu Qing curled her lips and was about to speak.
"Buzzing—"
[Tang Song: "No problem, I agree to invest by increasing capital and expanding shares. But I'm quite busy these days. In a couple of days, you can invite Shen Yuyan out, and the three of us can have a meal together and discuss the due diligence matter."]
Xu Qing's face flushed and her head felt dizzy. She quickly replied, "Okay, okay. Thank you, Tang Song. If you need any help, just let me know!"
Hahaha! I, Xu Qing, am really awesome! The chosen girl!
My bestie had been worrying about something for months, and I easily solved it!
"Buzzing—"
[Tang Song: "I don't need your help for now. If you really want to thank me, then send me a photo of yourself. I remember you had twin ponytails in college. Do you have any cosplay photos of you with this hairstyle?"]
This request is not excessive. After all, Tang Song trusts me so much and has helped me so much.
Xu Qing licked her lips, found a photo of herself in a gymnastics suit with twin ponytails in the gallery, and shared it.
"Buzzing—"
[Tang Song: "Very good, I have figured out how to use that mirrorless camera. Let's arrange a photo shoot later. You can wear this outfit and I will be your photographer."]
what?
ε＝ε＝(#>д
Since Xu Qing made her debut, she has never asked a male photographer to take photos for her!
Thinking of having to pose in various shameful positions as he requested, Xu Qing shook her head vigorously.
No! No! Don’t I, Xu Qing, have any dignity?
But the investment has not yet been in place, so I can’t be willful!
For the sake of her best friend, it seems that she has no choice but to succumb to Tang Song's "tyranny".
After a fierce psychological struggle.
Xu Qing bit her lip and typed back, "Okay, no problem."
"Buzzing—"
[Tang Song: "By the way, Qingqing, do you have a photo of Campus Beauty Shen? Send me one too. I haven't seen her for a long time. I want to recognize her first so that it will be easier for us to communicate in the future."]
Damn it! Xiao Songzi, you are pushing your luck!
After gritting her teeth, Xu Qing finally gave in.
I found a photo I took when I went out yesterday and sent it to you.
Looking at the two photos in the chat box, Xu Qing pouted unhappily.
Why does my best friend look so pure, while I look so sexy?
"Silly Qing, why are you standing there? Get out of the car quickly, I still have to go to work." Shen Yuyan parked the car by the side of the road and tapped her on the head.
Xu Qing raised her head, not caring about how she was addressed.
He held her face with both hands, looked into her eyes, and said excitedly: "Yanyan, I've got you the investment for your company!"
"What do you mean?" Shen Yuyan raised his long eyebrows.
"Mua~" Xu Qing kissed her on the cheek and shook her head, saying, "It's the friend I mentioned to you. After reading your business plan, he agreed to invest in you. Let's have dinner together in a few days. He wants to discuss due diligence with you."
As a legal officer, Xu Qing naturally knew about due diligence.
It is a series of comprehensive, in-depth and detailed investigations into the target company's assets and liabilities, operating and financial conditions during capital operations such as acquisitions and investments.
It is one of the most important links in the corporate investment and acquisition process.
In other words, this matter has been confirmed by Tang Song and is basically a done deal!
"This..." Shen Yuyan looked at her in astonishment.
She knew her best friend too well, and what she just said was absolutely serious!
"Who is he? Where does he come from?" Shen Yuyan's eyes instantly burst with powerful vitality and light.
At this point, Xu Qing didn't plan to hide it from her anymore.
Since junior high school, Shen Yuyan has always been the most eye-catching one, and the friends around her are the best around.
Xu Qing, who had always been suppressed, discovered Tang Song, a treasure boy, but decisively kept it to herself and didn't tell her.
It's not that I have any dirty thoughts.
I just want to stand in front of my bestie one day and boast, "Look, I have my own circle of friends, connections and resources. Are you going to look at me with new eyes?"
Now this scene perfectly meets her expectations.
Xu Qing laughed out loud twice, put her hands on her hips, and held her head high.
He said excitedly, "He is our classmate, Tang Song from the Computer Science Department, majoring in software engineering!"
"Tang Song?" Shen Yuyan widened his eyes, and a tall figure appeared in his mind.
The technical director of Weiguang Coffee had an amazing performance at the roadshow.
"How could it be him?" Then she looked suspicious and said, "I remember asking you this before, what did you say? Also, you were wearing a JK uniform before, were you going on a date with him?"
Xu Qing paused for a moment, and said carelessly, "I don't remember, did this happen? Anyway, I'm going to say this now. Tang Song agreed to invest in Youjie Housekeeping for my sake! Go back and prepare, and prepare for the due diligence in a few days!"
"Qingqing, this is a big deal, don't joke with me?" Although Shen Yuyan knew her best friend's character, she still wanted to confirm it.
Xu Qing rubbed her face and said, "I'm not kidding you. Tang Song is very powerful now. He drives a Mercedes-Benz S-Class. He is not short of money at all! Oh, you will know when you meet him!"
Shen Yuyan's eyes flickered and she bit her lip lightly, "Okay, I believe you."
Xu Qing hugged her neck excitedly, her eyes sparkling as she said, "Once your company has raised funds, it will surely develop smoothly. When you become rich, I will become rich too, and we will be good friends forever!"
……
30th floor, Yunxi Building.
Songmei Clothing.
Tang Song burst out laughing.
Originally I just wanted to tease this cute girl Xu Qing, but I didn't expect her to really agree to everything.
I clicked on Shen Yuyan’s photo and admired it.
The narrow and long oval face is full of collagen and the facial features are large and relaxed.
The standard pure school beauty face.
Three years after graduation, her appearance hasn't changed much, but her temperament is indeed better.
She has bright and lively eyes and a tall and straight figure, like a white swan.
Just standing there is a beautiful scenery.
Putting down the phone, Tang Song looked at the computer screen.
This morning, "Juqing Huijin" sent me the "Youjie Housekeeping Investment Research Report".
The investment evaluation is not high. It is a very ordinary enterprise with average profits and average level. The field it is engaged in does not leave much room for imagination.
It is indeed difficult for such companies to obtain investment from venture capital.
After looking at the photos of Shen Yuyan and Xu Qing again, Tang Song smiled sadly.
None of this matters.
College represented a part of his mediocre past.
Shen Yuyan and Xu Qing represent fantasies that were once out of reach. Get in touch with them, change their perception of themselves, feel their shock, and gain their favor.
It was very helpful for him to improve his confidence and charm scores.
Of course, more importantly, this pair of best friends are really good-looking.
Especially Shen Yuyan.
I remember that in the second half of my freshman year, a photo of Shen Yuyan secretly taken by a classmate became popular on the Internet.
It was widely circulated in campus forums, BBS, and QQ groups, and it was from that time that the title of school belle came into being.
When Lu Ziming saw this, he made up his mind to pursue the school beauty Shen. Unexpectedly, he pursued her for several years and finally gave up.
Thinking of Lu Ziming, Tang Song patted his head.
It's time to move my things out of Qingxin Home, and then I'll treat him to a meal.
After all, this roommate took a lot of care of me.
...
"Dong dong dong -" there was a knock on the door.
Then, Zhang Ying's voice came from outside the door: "Mr. Tang, Mr. Liu is here and is waiting for you in the conference room."
"Okay, I got it." Tang Song replied, calmed himself down, stood up and walked towards the meeting room.
When I opened the glass door, I saw a familiar figure.
Liu Mingchang is 30 years old this year. He has a somewhat rough skin and an ordinary appearance.
But after all, he is a small boss who started from scratch, and he has a tenacious and pragmatic temperament.
"Good morning, Brother Liu."
"Good morning, Mr. Tang!" Liu Mingchang quickly stood up and shook hands with him.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while.
Tang Song sat down with him face to face and talked about his previous work and his understanding of e-commerce business. He also introduced the company's situation.
The special effect [Leader] attached to the character [Songmei Clothing - President] is triggered.
His keen intuition and insight enabled him to quickly reach a conclusion.
Tang Song said simply and directly: "I have already told you the basic situation on the phone. Songmei Clothing is about to usher in a large-scale expansion.
I am about to start setting up an inventory and logistics management department. Brother Liu, you have previous work experience in warehousing and logistics companies, and you founded the company from scratch.
I admire your ability and character, and hope you can take charge of this business. The treatment will satisfy you."
After saying this, he looked at Liu Mingchang and waited quietly for his reply.
Before contacting Liu Mingchang, he commissioned Bocai Yingrui to conduct a simple background check on him.
Very clean, meeting his requirements.
Liu Mingchang gritted his teeth, his eyes a little hesitant.
His current wallpaper decoration business is very average. Although he is the boss, he is actually also doing the construction.
It's just a construction contracting team, following the decoration company to make a living.
So when he received Tang Song's call this morning, he did not refuse directly, but took the initiative to offer to go to his house for a discussion.
Songmei Clothing is a typical live-streaming e-commerce company and one of the hottest fields right now, which is indeed very tempting to him.
But there are risks after all.
At the age of 30, he will soon have to consider getting married, having children, and supporting his parents.
He felt a little nervous about giving up the company he had worked so hard to build and coming here to work.
"Tadada--" Tang Song's slender fingers tapped lightly on the solid wooden table.
He smiled at Liu Mingchang and said, "Brother Liu, you are in the decoration business, so you should know Yunxi Building very well, right?"
"Ah."
"This floor, including the 1810-square-meter office area that is being renovated, is all mine."
Liu Mingchang was shocked and stood up immediately, blushing and saying, "Boss Tang, give me a week and I will finish the matter at hand."
