Chapter 357 Suddenly Chapter Beginning
Chapter 357 Looking Back Suddenly
After taking several deep breaths, Jiang Yourong tried to calm the throbbing in her heart and calm herself down.
She officially resigned from Smile Investment in May 2017.
As a master of computer science, she was one of Director Jin's six assistants at the time.
Mainly responsible for strategic planning assistance, project screening and evaluation of investment projects in the Internet field.
Since this direction was a key area of Smile Investment at the time, the work was complicated and extremely hard.
Correspondingly, she also had more opportunities to come into contact with the people around Director Jin at the time.
For example, Liu Jiayi, this cool and sassy girl from Northeast China, is the national martial arts champion.
Of course, the reason why I haven't forgotten her for so long is because she is very beautiful.
She is not a beauty in the traditional sense, but a kind of neutral beauty that really appeals to women's aesthetic taste.
She licked the corners of her dry lips and walked forward.
Liu Jiayi still stood calmly beside the car, with her hands in her pockets, looking at the sign of a tavern on the street.
Sensing someone approaching, his sharp and observant eyes quickly swept over.
When their eyes met, there was no sign of anything unusual on her face, she remained calm and indifferent.
Jiang Yourong's heart couldn't help but beat faster.
After more than 6 years, she will once again intersect with this group of people.
But the other party seemed to have forgotten her as a former colleague.
"Thump thump——" the footsteps stopped.
Jiang Yourong opened her mouth and whispered, "Jiayi, long time no see. Haha, I didn't expect to see you in Quancheng, but you probably don't remember my name."
Liu Jiayi took his hand out of his trouser pocket and said calmly, "Long time no see, Assistant Jiang."
"Hiss~" Jiang Yourong took a breath of cold air and felt goose bumps all over his body.
She...she actually still remembers me?
Who in the family understands?
Who understands the value of this phrase "Assistant Jiang"?
Jiang Yourong took another step forward, looked up at her, and said with sparkling eyes: "Haha, I didn't expect that you still remember me, Jiayi. I'm really flattered."
"I have a good memory." Liu Jiayi's lips curled up slightly. "Besides, you have been Director Jin's assistant after all. Although there is a non-compete agreement and a confidentiality agreement, you will still be the focus of attention in the few years after leaving the company to prevent business leaks."
Jiang Yourong said awkwardly: "Uh... I see, hehe, hehe..."
With her silence, the scene became quiet for a while.
Liu Jiayi didn't say anything either, but just looked at her calmly, naturally exuding a sense of oppression.
During the years she worked as Director Jin's driver, she had come into contact with many well-known figures, even politicians and celebrities.
I have already achieved a calm mind.
Jiang Yourong asked tentatively, "What's the matter with you coming to Quancheng? I have friends here, do you need help?"
"Need not."
Jiang Yourong's mouth twitched, knowing that the other party would not tell her these.
"Um... Director Jin... She often stays up late to work overtime. She works so long every day. Is she healthy now?" Jiang Yourong explained: "You know, I used to be Director Jin's assistant and worked with her for a long time."
After hearing these words, Liu Jiayi's expression gradually became lively, no longer as cold as before.
Nodding gently, he said, "Director Jin is in good health. The group has now entered a stable period, and there is not much work that needs to be handled by Director Jin personally."
"That's great." Jiang Yourong pursed her lips and said with some emotion: "In the past few years, I often dreamed about the days when I worked at Smile Holdings. I am very grateful to Director Jin for his cultivation of me."
Talking about the past, Jiang Yourong became a little emotional.
He reached out and gently took Liu Jiayi's arm, telling her some interesting stories about his time working at Smile Holdings and his impressions of the other assistants.
……
The white Mercedes-Benz C200L slowly drove into the ground parking lot.
A man and a woman walked down from above.
They are all around 25 or 6 years old.
The girl was wearing a chiffon dress and had delicate makeup on her face, making her look like a beautiful girl next door.
The boy was wearing an oversized T-shirt, ripped jeans, a baseball cap worn backwards on his head, and his hair was dyed yellow, looking very trendy and fashionable.
"Sasha, Zhang Lei really didn't tell you which old classmate it was? In fact, I just want to know whether it was a boy or a girl, hehe." Zhang Yunpeng locked the car door casually.
Liu Shasha adjusted her bangs and said, "Yunpeng, the girl in front of you is our junior high school beauty. Which girl do you want?"
Zhang Yunpeng shrugged and said speechlessly: "Can we not distort the facts? If you want to talk about Zhang Yan, I admit it."
"Haha, if you like her, go after her."
"Well, that was when I was in school. Now I'm a local internet celebrity, and my life is wonderful. There are many girls chasing after me." Zhang Yunpeng raised his eyebrows proudly, "Among my junior high school classmates, there aren't many who are doing better than me."
When I was in school, because I was a poor student and couldn't learn anything, I often used harassment to approach the girls I liked in order to attract their attention. Now I think it was quite stupid.
Liu Shasha nudged Zhang Yunpeng and said enthusiastically, "Oh, right, aren't you going to do a live broadcast of your store visit? Hurry up and start. I just want to learn from you. I'll try to see if I can become popular later."
The reason why she asked Zhang Lei to wait for her at "Snail Bistro" was because Zhang Yunpeng had received a contract and was coming to promote the store.
Today, Zhang Yunpeng is a well-known internet celebrity in Quancheng. His nickname is [Yunpeng is a bit handsome]. He has 45 fans, many of whom are locals of Quancheng.
I often receive store exploration advertisements and earn a lot of money.
I now drive a Mercedes and have bought a house in the center of Quancheng City.
She felt that she was pretty, so she wanted to try to make some money in this industry.
"OK, I'll live stream for a while, and then you can help me shoot some videos."
As he spoke, Zhang Yunpeng took out his cell phone from his pocket and put on a lapel microphone.
After some operations on the phone, he pointed the phone at the flashing neon sign in front of him and started the live broadcast.
While waiting for fans to enter the live broadcast room, Zhang Yunpeng chatted incessantly with the audience, sharing interesting things in the city and making exaggerated gestures from time to time.
"Thank you, my sister Youyou, for sending me two hot air balloons! Thank you, beautiful sister Youyou!"
“Thank you, Sister Yun, for the three sunglasses!”
He is a very active and talkative person, and he could not concentrate on his studies during his student days.
Later, when he entered the field of short videos and live broadcasts, these shortcomings turned into advantages, allowing him to thrive and do very well.
Moreover, he actually looks pretty good, and with Tik Tok's powerful beauty effects, he can barely be considered a good-looking male anchor.
For example, two generous female fans, [Youyou] and [Suifeng Bu Shiyun], often give him small gifts.
In a trance, a crystal light flashed in the corner of my eye.
Zhang Yunpeng was stunned and looked in one direction in surprise.
Not far from him, there was a majestic black luxury car parked. Under the light, it was shining with a noble and mysterious glow.
"Fuck! Big Rolls! Rolls-Royce Phantom!" Zhang Yunpeng was instantly beaming with joy, "My family, I actually came across my dream car, a Rolls-Royce Phantom, on the streets of Quancheng! So cool! Yunpeng will take you to appreciate it next."
In addition to being really unexpected, of course there was a certain element of acting involved as well.
However, the appearance of the Rolls-Royce Phantom on the streets of Quancheng is definitely a hot spot, which can help him attract fans and increase the fun of the live broadcast.
Sure enough, as he finished speaking, the number of messages in the live broadcast room instantly increased.
Zhang Yunpeng switched to the rear camera and pointed the lens in the direction of the Rolls-Royce.
As he walked, he talked about what he knew about the car.
At this moment, a figure appeared in the camera, blocking the live broadcast screen.
Zhang Yunpeng raised his head and saw a cold and delicate face.
His eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyes were like a deep cold pool, cold and sharp.
She is tall, straight and strong, and the slim-fitting clothes perfectly outline her powerful figure.
The live broadcast room, which only had a few dozen people, instantly became lively.
When their eyes met, Zhang Yunpeng subconsciously took two steps back, and Liu Shasha next to him quickly pulled him.
"Hello, please do not shoot related videos or live broadcasts here, thank you." A somewhat gentle voice sounded.
Jiang Yourong slowly approached and waved at the two of them.
Zhang Yunpeng turned his head to look at her. She was a plump woman with a dignified temperament.
He quickly retracted his gaze and turned the camera around. Zhang Yunpeng said nervously, "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. We'll leave right away."
After saying this, he quickly left with Liu Shasha, still feeling scared.
Anyone who can afford a multi-million luxury car like the Phantom must be worth at least hundreds of millions, which cannot be underestimated anywhere.
He is just an ordinary anchor, how could he use his head to collide with others?
The best option is to slip away before others get angry.
Arriving at the door of "Snail Bistro", Zhang Yunpeng grinned in fear and glanced at the screen in the live broadcast room.
Without exception, everyone was sighing and shocked.
A black Rolls-Royce Phantom, a female driver with a sharp and cool temperament, and a plump and intellectual beauty.
The scene just now was like a scene from a movie, it was very topical.
Currently, the number of people online in the live broadcast room has exceeded 200, which can be considered a blessing in disguise.
"Wow! Thank you sister Youyou for the sports car! Sister Youyou is so generous!"
[Youyou: "That girl just now looked like a female killer, so cool, I like her so much, Yunpeng, can you take another picture?"]
Soon, several other female fans also began to leave messages and send gifts.
"Oh, it's not that I don't want to take pictures, it's just that I don't dare to get close to that ten-meter-high aura."
Zhang Yunpeng glanced over there from a distance and continued, "Okay, okay, let's get down to business. Today I'm going to take you to a theme bar with a great atmosphere. Friends from Quancheng, don't leave. Come in with me and take a look."
After passing through the glass door and walking a few meters forward, the warm and leisurely interior appears before your eyes.
"There are so many handsome men and beautiful women here, and the prices are affordable. Today Yunpeng will take you to have a good time, and friends from nearby are also welcome to come and play."
Soon, the waiter he had an appointment with walked over quickly.
Introduced the bar's situation and promotional packages.
Zhang Yunpeng adjusted the angle of the phone camera and said with a laugh: "Actually, I came here for another important reason today, which is to drink and chat with my junior high school classmates whom I haven't seen for many years. But I don't know which classmate it is, or even whether it is a boy or a girl. Yunpeng is super excited and hopes that everyone will accompany me to open this blind box!"
He is indeed very talented in live broadcasting.
Smooth and pleasant words, exaggerated and interesting expressions, and good looks can really liven up the atmosphere of the live broadcast room.
Several female fans on the list began to leave comments and make jokes.
[Youyou: "Could it be that this is the girl Yunpeng had a crush on in junior high school? Is this a new script, looking for a CP?"]
[Sui Feng is not Yun: "You will lose us if you do this!"]
...
"Oh, I'm a little excited after hearing what you said!"
"Shasha, which booth is Leizi in?"
Liu Shasha, who was quietly learning live broadcasting skills, quickly raised her head and pointed in the direction of the inside, "In booth W21, in the northwest corner."
"OK, brothers and sisters! Let's go and take a look!" Zhang Yunpeng waved his hand, switched the live broadcast perspective, and aimed the rear camera at the interior of the tavern.
"How about it, brothers and sisters? The environment here is pretty good, right? And it's only 60 yuan per person."
[“Yunpeng, there’s a handsome guy on your left. Give him more shots.”]
[“I also discovered that he is a handsome salty guy.”]
"Hey, hey, hey, your aesthetic taste is not good. How is he more handsome than me? Sister Youyou and Sister Yun are the ones with good taste."
Zhang Yunpeng walked inside while chatting with the audience.
Liu Shasha's eyes subconsciously swept towards the W21 booth.
From a distance, you can see two boys clinking their glasses.
One of them, facing them, was the very familiar Zhang Lei.
Liu Shasha said with a smile: "Yunpeng, you will be disappointed, it's a boy."
"Ah?" Zhang Yunpeng pretended to be exaggerated and said, "It seems that the beauties in our live broadcast room who have a crush on me can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Now we just need to see who this guy is. I haven't seen him for so many years, I don't know if I can still recognize him." Seeing that everyone in the live broadcast room was focused on him, Zhang Yunpeng stopped shaking the camera and fixed the viewing angle in the direction of the booth.
Walked over quickly.
"Hello, Lei Zi! We are here." Zhang Yunpeng said, pointing the camera towards the booth.
The vintage chandelier emits a soft, warm glow.
In the picture, Tang Song, who was sipping wine with his head down, moved the glass away.
He raised his head, revealing a handsome and upright face.
The fine black hair swayed slightly with his movements, sweeping across a pair of deep and bright eyes.
His body leaned back slightly on the soft back of the sofa, his legs casually crossed, with an indescribable sense of coordinated beauty.
The silk shirt had a light sheen, and the slightly open collar revealed his muscular figure.
The simple and high-end outfit in pure colors, coupled with the lazy sitting posture, exudes an elegant and noble temperament everywhere.
There seemed to be an invisible halo around him, isolating him from the noise and bustle around him.
Zhang Yunpeng and Liu Shasha were both stunned in place, and a distant name jumped out of their minds.
Tang and Song! ?
Although his facial features were correct, his extraordinary temperament and figure made him seem like a different person.
Especially in a dim environment like a bar, he is like a male god who walked out of a novel.
The live broadcast room was filled with meaningless exclamations.
[“Ahhhh!”]
[“Fuck!”]
[“So handsome! So handsome!”]
...
Seeing the two, Zhang Lei smiled and waved, "Yunpeng, Shasha, I've been waiting for you for more than 40 minutes. Tang Song and I are almost full."
Liu Shasha shuddered suddenly, and her face instantly turned red and hot.
She lifted her hair from her temples, pinched the hem of her skirt with her fingers, and whispered, "Tang...Tang Song, long time no see. I'm Liu Shasha, remember? You've changed so much, I wouldn't recognize you if we were outside."
Tang Song put down the wine glass in his hand and chuckled, "Of course I remember. Hello Shasha, we haven't seen each other for almost 10 years."
"Yeah, I haven't seen him since I graduated from junior high school." Liu Shasha took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to sit down in the booth next to him.
Zhang Yunpeng gritted his teeth and said, "Tang Song, long time no see."
"Long time no see." Tang Song smiled and nodded, then turned to Liu Shasha and said, "Zhang Lei and I both ordered beer, you can order more if you want."
His voice is very nice, clear and magnetic.
Zhang Yunpeng, who was sitting in a booth, took a look and saw that the number of people online had exceeded 500.
unprecedented!
He has been live streaming for such a long time, and the best result is only 300 people.
As his camera moved away, the live broadcast room became lively again.
[“Turn back quickly, we want to see the handsome guy!”]
[“Yunpeng, I advise you not to be ungrateful!”]
[“Hurry up, host! I want to see my idol!”]
...
Zhang Yunpeng's eyebrows twitched, and just as he was about to say something, half of the screen was filled with dazzling gift special effects.
Carnival, Tik Tok No. 1…
Zhang Yunpeng quickly thanked loudly: "Thank you sister Youyou for the carnival! Sister is awesome! Thank you sister Yun for the Douyin account number..."
It is still the first and second on the list that are reliable, and they always support themselves unwaveringly.
In all his long years of live streaming, he has only received such large gifts once or twice.
But soon, his face became bitter.
【Youyou: "Host, go and ask me for a WeChat ID! If you succeed, I'll give you another Huazi!"】
[Sui Feng is not Yun: "I want one too! If you succeed, I'll give you one too! Go now!"]
Well, don’t call Yunpeng anymore, just call the anchor directly! ?
Damn! You guys are so fickle!
A carnival costs 3000 yuan, just to add WeChat!
Makes myself look like a borderline female anchor!
But Tang Song is so damn handsome, and his temperament is like that of a movie star.
"Are you still broadcasting live?" Zhang Lei patted his shoulder, "Come on, let's have a try first."
"Yeah." Zhang Yunpeng nodded, adjusted the direction of the camera, raised a bottle of Wusu and moved closer.
"Ding ding ding--" the sound of glass colliding was heard.
Zhang Yunpeng took a sip of wine, put down the bottle, and looked at the mobile phone screen again.
My eyelids twitched violently.
[“Fuck, I just got closer and realized that the watch that man is wearing seems to be a Vacheron Constantin Overseas 4300V! It’s a famous watch worth about 70. I just don’t know if it’s real or fake.”]
What followed was a series of exclamations.
[“No wonder he has such a good temperament, he is really a top-notch tall, rich and handsome man!”]
[“I know a little bit about watches. Yunpeng is at the Snail Tavern in the city center. Hehe, I’m going to check it out now!”]
[“Unfortunately I’m in the lower county and can’t get through!”]
...
Damn! You guys...
Looking at the messages one by one, Zhang Yunpeng felt suddenly disappointed.
This is the live broadcast room that he has worked hard to run, and many of the fans are die-hard fans who have joined the fan group.
……
"Zhang Yan?" Liu Shasha was stunned for a moment, looking at Tang Song's handsome face so close to her, and answered nervously:
"I don't keep in touch with her much, or at least none of us high school classmates keep in touch with her much. She's quite introverted and a study freak. It's like she disappeared after entering college."
"But I heard from a roommate some time ago that after graduating from Agricultural University, she went to work in the capital for half a year and lived in a semi-basement in Tiantongyuan."
"Later, I think I was laid off and couldn't find a suitable job, so I went to the south to develop. I think I'm in Guangzhou now."
...
Listening to Liu Shasha's intermittent narration, Tang Song's eyes were slightly stunned.
The hand holding the wine glass was a little tight.
Tiantongyuan?
What a familiar name.
During the three years he lived in the imperial capital, he lived in the West District 3 of Tiantongyuan, in a 13-square-meter second bedroom that Liu Qingning helped him rent.
First it was a university in Yancheng, and then it was a residence in the imperial capital.
It turns out they were once quite close.
According to Tang Song's inference, his memory was actually biased.
In other words, it is possible that they have encountered it but just haven't discovered it.
Is this the reason why Zhang Yan keeps leaving messages on her own space?
……
Since it is cloudy today, the temperature is still cool.
The two stood next to the Rolls-Royce and chatted for a long time.
Looking at the sky gradually darkening.
Jiang Yourong squeezed the shoulder strap of her bag and said softly, "By the way, Jiayi, what's your phone number? I'll add you on WeChat later."
Liu Jiayi pursed her red lips, took out a business card from her pocket and handed it over.
"Okay, then I won't bother you."
"Well, goodbye." Liu Jiayi showed a rare smile on her face.
"Goodbye!" Jiang Yourong said and walked forward.
Through this meeting and conversation, she had a better understanding of the whereabouts of her former colleagues.
Qin Yingxue, the most outstanding assistant at the time, now works at Qingning Technology in Shenzhen, and also holds an important position in Director Jin's family office.
Lin Tiantian, who succeeded him, is still Director Jin's assistant, but he also serves as the president of the group's public relations department.
"Hu——" Jiang Yourong let out a long breath.
Although she is a bit lazy and gluttonous, she also has her own pride and enterprising spirit, otherwise she would not have chosen to take the doctoral exam.
But this contact once again made her feel the importance of life's circumstances.
She paused and turned to look at Liu Jiayi.
She still stood there quietly, looking towards the door of a tavern, as if waiting for someone.
Jiang Yourong's heart moved and a light flashed in his mind.
She had been looking in that direction since they had first met, and had glanced there from time to time during their conversation just now.
Does this mean that the person she is waiting for is in the bar!
It was hard for Liu Jiayi not to have wild thoughts about the person who could make her do this.
You know, that’s the famous Jin Meixiao!
Today's most successful female entrepreneur, the "Wonder Woman" in the business world, is also her idol.
If possible, she would certainly like to meet the handsome Director Jin again.
Could this be another encounter for me?
Jiang Yourong opened her bag, took out a small mirror from it, and adjusted her hair and collar.
I encouraged myself and strode towards the bar.
As time approached 7 o'clock in the evening, more and more people came into the bar.
The sound of soft music floated in the air.
A faint smell of alcohol mixed with a sweet fragrance hits you in the face.
Jiang Yourong went straight to the bar and ordered a glass of Baileys.
While taking small sips, he glanced around the bar calmly.
After a while, she sighed helplessly.
There are a lot of women, but unfortunately they are not him.
There is no way she would not recognize a woman like Director Jin as long as she is around.
At this moment, a pair of hurried footsteps walked into the tavern.
She was a young girl wearing a belly-baring top, probably no older than 20 years old, and looked like a college student.
After coming in, she began to look around anxiously, asked the waiter next to her who the anchor was, and then ran to the booth inside.
Jiang Yourong picked up the Baileys and took a big sip, the mellow and sweet taste bursting in her mouth.
I looked back at the little girl who was in a hurry.
She had stopped at a booth.
She stood there obediently, saying something to a boy who was sitting there.
Then the boy slowly stood up.
He has a well-proportioned and tall figure. Under the light, his profile looks as if it was carefully carved, making him look extremely handsome.
His nose is tall and elegant, and the slightly tilted angle and drooping hair add a sense of mystery to him.
Jiang Yourong's breathing stagnated, and the Baileys in her hand trembled.
I searched for him/her for hundreds of times. Suddenly I looked back and found him/her there, in the dimly lit place.
Tang and Song! Tang and Song!
It turns out that the person Liu Jiayi is waiting for is you!
