Chapter 477 The Beautician's Mercedes-Benz G
Chapter 477 The Beautician's Mercedes-Benz G
Wednesday, September 2023, 9, cloudy to overcast, 20~16℃.
In the early morning of autumn, the mist has not yet completely dissipated, and there is a hint of coolness in the air.
"Tread, tap, tap—"
The rhythmic footsteps echoed in the Yanjing Huating community, accompanied by breathing that gradually became rapid and regular.
Tang Song was wearing a Bluetooth headset, and Liu Qingning's lazy and cute voice came to his ears: "I don't know why, but since I came back from Yancheng last time, I feel much better. According to the monitoring of the smart watch, my deep sleep data is particularly good."
Today is the fourth day of her menstrual period, so she naturally won't accompany him for remote fitness exercises, but the voice calls have never stopped every morning.
Tang Song joked: "Maybe this is the power of love. Think about me more and you will get better and better."
"Hmph~ so conceited!"
Liu Qingning seemed to have just climbed out of bed and turned on the loudspeaker. Tang Song could hear the sound of her taking off her clothes thoughtfully.
Taking a deep breath, Tang Song slowed down his pace and said gently, "Qing Ning, can you take a picture for me?"
"What photo?" Liu Qingning became alert instantly.
"Just take a selfie in your current state. Don't worry about not having makeup on. You will always be so beautiful in my eyes anyway."
"No, that's wishful thinking!"
"Then you can call me 'dear husband'."
"You little Song, are you teasing me?" Liu Qingning raised her voice a little, with shame and anger, "I won't scream!"
Tang Song couldn't help laughing, and said happily: "Isn't this just a little hobby between lovers? There are better ones. Do you want me to teach you?"
"No! Stop!" Liu Qingning said anxiously, "It's Wenruan who led you astray. Don't think that I will chat with you like she does... chat with you..."
The two of them chatted casually.
Gradually more and more people started doing morning exercises.
After the exercise, Tang Song hung up the phone, walked outside the community, bought some breakfast, and then returned to Building 6.
Walk into the bungalow and put breakfast on the dining table.
Tang Song gently pushed open the door of the master bedroom, and a faint fragrance wafted to his face.
The beautician who was lying on the bed playing with her phone quickly raised her head and said in a sweet and innocent voice, "Brother Song, you're back. Good morning."
"Good morning, Qianqian." Tang Song leaned forward and ruffled the beautician's thick burgundy hair. Then he couldn't help but put his arm around her neck and took a deep breath.
The rich aroma rushed into his nostrils, making his already happy mood even more comfortable.
It is worth mentioning that Zhao Yaqian's [Phantom Beauty] has gradually merged naturally with her.
Her body odor will subtly change as her emotional state changes.
Especially when playing ball, that kind of fanatical and sexy atmosphere is a magic weapon to add to the fun.
Coupled with his young and energetic body, he is definitely a perfect golfer.
She is truly worthy of being called the canary cultivated by the system.
"It's so itchy~" Zhao Yaqian shuddered. Seeing that Tang Song was deliberately teasing her, she simply grabbed his shoulders and pulled him onto the bed.
The two of them laughed and played on the bed for a long time.
Suddenly, Zhao Yaqian took out a black gift box from under the pillow and handed it over, saying with a smile: "Ding ding ding~~ A surprise little gift for you!"
Looking at the familiar gift box in front of him, Tang Song was stunned, "Van Cleef & Arpels?"
"Yes!" Zhao Yaqian nodded vigorously and slowly opened the gift box, revealing the platinum-colored ring inside. "I saw it when I was attending an event. I thought it was very beautiful and very suitable for your hand, Brother Song."
Tang Song's eyes twitched.
Wow, it’s exactly the same as the one Xiaojing gave me!
Fortunately, I didn’t come to see a beautician last night, otherwise it would have been really embarrassing.
Looking at the beautician's expectant eyes, Tang Song put on the ring with a bright smile on his face: "Thank you Qianqian, I like it very much."
"As long as you like it."
"Oh, right!" Tang Song seemed to remember something, patted her plump thighs, and said mysteriously: "Actually, I also prepared a gift for you. It should be delivered today, but you need to pick it up yourself."
"Ah." Zhao Yaqian shouted in surprise and threw herself on Tang Song, "mua~, thank you brother, mua~"
Feeling the beautician's love and joy, Tang Song showed an indulgent smile on his face.
Zhao Yaqian has had her driver's license for more than three months. During this time, she would occasionally practice using Xiaoxue's 3, and now her driving skills are pretty good.
Before that, he specifically asked Xiaoxue to inquire about the beautician's preferences and helped her book her favorite one.
We only arrived in Yancheng yesterday, and the car should be ready for delivery today.
Xu Qing's DB11 was even later than this because of its options and paint.
"Okay, let's go and have dinner together."
"Yeah, okay!" Zhao Yaqian jumped down and took Tang Song's arm and walked towards the restaurant.
Arrive at the restaurant and place the packed breakfast on plates and bowls.
Zhao Yaqian glanced at the tightly closed door of the second bedroom and said helplessly, "Tingzi got off the air late yesterday, so she must not have gotten up yet."
Tang Song nodded and said, "Well, let's eat first and let her have a good rest."
Ever since the company started to devote all its efforts to building the IP brand "He Yiyi" and obtained a 5% stake, He Liting, this ambitious girl, has been working hard.
Not only does she handle the job of anchor, but she also handles all aspects including short video creative planning, operation analysis, brand LOGO design, etc. herself.
Tang Song was sure that He Liting's loyalty had definitely reached 100.
After sitting down on the chair, Zhao Yaqian brought a small plate of pickles from the kitchen and placed it between the two of them.
Tang Song took a bite of the braised pork bun and picked up a piece of kimchi and put it in his mouth.
The crispy and refreshing radish strips were so delicious that I couldn’t help but pick up another piece with my chopsticks.
Feeling the texture and taste, Tang Song raised his brows slightly.
The taste of this kimchi is very similar to the one made by Lele.
During the time he spent in the teachers' apartment at the Normal University, he was able to eat pickled radish made by Qian Lele almost every day, which left a deep impression on him.
"Qianqian, where did you buy these radish strips?"
Hearing his words, Zhao Yaqian whispered, "A friend gave it to me."
"Oh? A friend gave it to you?"
"Yes. She is a high school classmate of a friend of mine. I met her in a coffee shop. Her name is Qian Lele."
"Uh..." Tang Song opened his mouth slightly, a look of surprise on his face.
I never thought that Zhao Yaqian and Qian Lele were friends.
Zhao Yaqian paused and added softly, "When Xiaoxue and I were taking a walk on the weekend, I saw her standing at the east gate of Yanjingtian City. She said she was out for a stroll. We just happened to meet, so she gave me the kimchi she brought with her."
After hearing her words, Tang Song pursed his lips.
With his understanding of Qian Lele, he could easily piece together the truth of the matter.
This girl must have wanted to see him, but was embarrassed, so she made kimchi and wanted to give it to him, but she didn't dare to disturb him when the time came.
And this was only the first time Zhao Yaqian encountered this situation. It is possible that she had been here before.
The taste of pickled radish lingered on his tongue.
Thinking of that simple, strong, shy and sensitive innocent female college student, Tang Song felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.
Zhao Yaqian didn't say anything else, just ate breakfast quietly.
……
11 o'clock in the morning.
"Ding Dong——" the phone vibrated.
Zhao Yaqian, who was watching a TV series, picked up her phone and took a look.
[Aunt: "Qianqian, are you going back to Decheng for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"]
Zhao Yaqian pursed her lips and replied: "It's not certain yet, we'll see what happens then."
[Aunt: "Oh, that's fine. If you go back then, we can keep each other company."]
I had a brief chat with my aunt.
Zhao Yaqian hesitated for a moment and transferred 5 yuan via WeChat.
The message read: "Aunt, my mother borrowed 10 yuan from you before, and she still owes 5 yuan. I have some money on hand now, so I just paid it off."
During these few months, she gradually helped her family pay off some of the debts, the largest portion of which was from her aunt.
"Buzzing—"
[Aunt: "Oh! Child, I don't mean to rush you. Just pay it back slowly. You are smart and will go to college at a young age."]
After some persuasion from Zhao Yaqian, Yu Wenxia finally accepted the transfer.
After exiting WeChat, Zhao Yaqian opened the China Merchants Bank App and looked at her current total assets.
【342 yuan】
Three days later, she will receive another trust income of 3 million yuan.
Putting down the phone, Zhao Yaqian rested her chin on her knees, a thoughtful gleam in her eyes.
She never thought that she would be so rich one day.
Of course, after the initial ecstasy and sleepless nights, I have now adapted to it.
Now she has her own business and is gradually growing.
I also have a new understanding of family and wealth.
Just like Xiaoxue said, sometimes it is not a bad thing to show off your wealth and background appropriately.
After all, she couldn't really keep it a secret forever.
I didn’t dare let others know before because I lacked knowledge and ability, and my personality was too simple and honest to manage so much wealth, so it was easy for me to make mistakes.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
The rapid ringing of her cell phone brought her back to reality.
It’s my high school classmate Li Yuanyuan.
After answering the phone, a familiar voice came from the receiver: "Hello? Qianqian, are you busy now?"
"I'm not busy. What's wrong, Yuanyuan?"
"It's almost noon, let's go out for a meal together. I know a new western restaurant that's really great and has your favorite steak!"
"Eh? Today is Wednesday, aren't you going to work?"
"Well, I've asked for leave. I'm looking for you for dinner because I want to complain to you about work. I'm so fed up with it!"
Zhao Yaqian looked at the time and nodded, "Okay, send me the location and I'll be there right away."
"Ok, bye."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yaqian started to pack up.
I put on makeup, changed into casual clothes, and went downstairs carrying my bag.
……
Beayce Western Restaurant is located in the city center, only 3 kilometers away from Yanjing Huating.
The black Didi car stopped on the side of the road.
Zhao Yaqian got out from the back seat and walked forward with brisk steps.
After walking a few steps, I saw Li Yuanyuan sitting at an open-air dining table.
Zhao Yaqian smiled and waved her hand, saying loudly: "Yuanyuan!"
Li Yuanyuan, who was playing with her phone, looked up with a surprised expression on her face, "Qianqian?"
After not seeing each other for a while, she always felt that this high school classmate had become a little different.
After sitting down on the dining chair, Zhao Yaqian teased with a smile on her face, "Hey, why are you staring at me? Are you attracted by the beauty of Miss Zhao?"
As she spoke, she pretended to be conceited and lifted her long wavy wine-red hair, her movements were natural and playful.
The familiar titles and little gestures instantly brought them closer to each other and also allowed Li Yuanyuan to quickly come back to her senses.
"Of course, Qianqian! You look like a big star now, and your figure has improved too. It's really amazing!" Li Yuanyuan exclaimed sincerely.
"Haha, I've been practicing dancing recently, and it's indeed showing some results." Zhao Yaqian explained with a smile, a hint of pride in her tone.
The two chatted for a while, ordered some food, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.
After all, we were classmates for three years in high school and had a very good relationship.
The temperature is just right today and there is no sun. Sitting outside and enjoying the cool breeze, I feel particularly comfortable.
The meal they bought in their group was for two at RMB 238, which was very sumptuous.
Original cut steaks, Italian pizza, fried chicken wings, salads and various snacks almost filled the entire small table.
When Zhao Yaqian saw her favorite steak, her eyes instantly sparkled and she began to eat it with relish.
During meal time.
Li Yuanyuan opened up and began to complain to her about her recent situation.
Like Zhao Yaqian, she entered society directly after graduating from high school.
But she was luckier, working in a small company owned by a relative, doing document sorting, printing and copying. The company was mainly engaged in building materials trading, and was small in scale, with only about 20 employees in total.
Although it is an easy job, the salary is not high, only 3500 yuan per month, and there is almost no room for future development.
For Li Yuanyuan, who doesn't have any big ambitions, such a life is barely acceptable and it's not impossible to just muddle through.
However, there were some changes within the company last month, with several sales people leaving, leading to a shortage of staff.
Seeing that she had free time, her relatives naturally gave her the task of telephone sales.
It is said that her commission rate is higher than others, but she also needs to have performance.
Now, in addition to her clerical work, she also needs to make constant phone calls to clients and promote products.
Li Yuanyuan, who had no experience, was unable to cope with it at all and was extremely busy.
Zhao Yaqian asked: "So what are you going to do next?"
"Oh, I don't know." Li Yuanyuan shook her head and said dejectedly, "I want to quit but I don't dare. I have no education or skills, and I don't know what I can do. What I'm thinking now is whether I should learn a job-based skill like you."
At this point, she blushed and looked at Zhao Yaqian expectantly, "Qianqian, I remember you said that you are now working at the headquarters of a chain of beauty salons. Are you recruiting apprentices there?"
Qianqian once said that her boyfriend had arranged a very easy job for her at a very good company.
She specifically asked the other party out, actually just wanting to ask some questions.
Zhao Yaqian was slightly startled when she heard what Li Yuanyuan said, and asked back: "You have been working as a clerk before, which is an administrative job, right?"
Li Yuanyuan nodded immediately and said, "Yeah, yes."
Zhao Yaqian pondered for a moment and said, "If you were asked to choose, would you like to continue working in administration? Or study cosmetology?"
Li Yuanyuan hesitated for a while and said truthfully: "I still want to work in administration."
"My current company is Isa Beauty, the one I told you about before. If you want to come, I can help you arrange it. I'll send you the introduction of our company, you can take a look first."
As she spoke, Zhao Yaqian shared the promotional poster.
"Ding Dong——" the WeChat notification sound rang.
Li Yuanyuan quickly picked up her phone, looked at the introduction on it, and her breathing began to quicken.
8 stores, high-end beauty salons, light medical beauty, valued at 1.2 million...
"Oh my god! So awesome?!"
She had only heard Zhao Yaqian mention the name of the company before and had never checked it out. She didn't expect it to be so awesome.
This is already equivalent to a large enterprise.
Li Yuanyuan swallowed her saliva, her face flushed with excitement, "Qianqian, you mean... I can work in your company as an administrator?"
Zhao Yaqian nodded and said, “Well, the personnel and administration of Isa Beauty are in one department. When you get there, you can also get in touch with some human resources-related work and switch to this area in the future.”
"Human Resources... I..." Li Yuanyuan pinched her fingers and said in a trembling voice: "Qianqian, I'm serious! I'm going to resign tomorrow!"
"Yes, absolutely no problem." Zhao Yaqian smiled and made an OK gesture.
She is now a shareholder of Isa Beauty, but apart from Zhang Mengchu and Sister Li, she doesn't have anyone of her own in the company.
Moreover, both of them are still in charge of the beauty salon work and are not staying at the headquarters.
She wanted Li Yuanyuan to join the Human Resources Administration Department in the hope of better understanding the company's situation.
In addition, there is another important reason.
That was the "new mission" Tang Song told her about and her future development.
For her, helping classmates change their current situation and get out of trouble is a way to demonstrate her own energy.
It will make her feel accomplished and more confident.
Perhaps this is also a kind of "self-worth realization".
Li Yuanyuan took a deep breath, her face flushed with excitement. She raised the cup in her hand and said loudly, "Come on, let me toast you. Thank you for helping me so much! You don't even know that I've been worried to death recently."
"Don't be so polite." Zhao Yaqian chuckled, picked up the drink cup and clinked it with hers, then took a big sip.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side: "Qianqian, Yuanyuan."
Zhao Yaqian looked up in surprise and saw Jiang Zimu waving at them.
Behind her, there was a tall and thin boy, Zhang Wensheng.
"Why are you here?"
Jiang Zimu walked over with a smile, "I saw the updates you posted on WeChat Moments. Wensheng and I happened to be doing promotions at the mall next door, so we came to see you after we were done. Are you surprised?"
Looking at Zhao Yaqian sitting there, Zhang Wensheng took a deep breath, "Hello, Qianqian, Yuanyuan, long time no see."
After saying hello, his emotions started to stir.
It’s been a long time indeed.
Ever since his Southeast Lingshuai failed last time and he encountered the incident with Li Jingzhong and Tang Song, he never took the initiative to contact Zhao Yaqian again.
After all, she is my white moonlight whom I have loved for more than 4 years. Even though I already know that it is impossible for us, there are always some waves in my heart when we meet again.
"Long time no see." Zhao Yaqian waved her hand with a smile, "Hey, Zhang Wensheng, why do you feel thinner again?"
"Hehe, I've been busy with my part-time job lately." Zhang Wensheng scratched the back of his head, looking a little embarrassed.
Jiang Zimu pushed him and said with a smile: "This guy has been working part-time all the time to maintain his beloved car. Now he has become the leader of the part-time job group. He brought me here to make money."
Li Yuanyuan gave a thumbs up and said, "Great job, Zhang Wensheng! Sit down and eat together. We still have a lot of snacks left. Come on!"
"I've been waiting for you to say this, haha!" Jiang Zimu sat down next to Zhao Yaqian, picked up the French fries and started eating.
The three girls gathered together and chatted, and the atmosphere seemed very pleasant.
Zhang Wensheng couldn't help but secretly look at Zhao Yaqian who was smiling sweetly opposite him, and felt a little empty in his heart.
After not seeing each other for a few months, Zhao Yaqian no longer looked like the school girl he remembered.
Fashionable and beautiful outfit, exquisite makeup and gorgeous bags make her look particularly outstanding.
Of course, the biggest changes are in temperament, speech and posture, which are now elegant and fashionable.
It is both familiar and strange, filled with an indescribable sense of distance.
We chatted for a while.
"Ding-ling-ling——" the cell phone rang.
Zhao Yaqian picked up the phone and looked at it. It was an unfamiliar local landline number.
After answering the phone, he said softly, "Hello? Hello."
"Hello, are you Ms. Zhao Yaqian?" A gentle and polite male voice came from the other end.
"Yes you are?"
"Ms. Zhao, I'm Tong Yuzhe, the account manager of Shengshi Xinghui Automobile Sales Company. Mr. Tang has prepared a gift for you. Is it convenient for you to pick it up in the store today?"
"Ah!" Zhao Yaqian covered her mouth and exclaimed, and immediately said: "Convenient!"
"Okay, I'll send the address of the showroom to your phone later. We can also arrange a pick-up service if you need."
"No, thank you. I can go there by myself." Zhao Yaqian's heartbeat began to accelerate involuntarily.
Car sales company? Could the gift that Song Ge mentioned this morning be a car?
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yaqian picked up her bag, looked at the three people and said, "Sorry, I have something to do and I have to leave first."
"Ah? What's the hurry?"
Zhao Yaqian blinked and said with a smile: "My boyfriend prepared a gift for me. Let me pick it up."
When Zhang Wensheng heard the word "boyfriend", a hint of bitterness rose in his mouth.
Li Yuanyuan came closer with envy on her face, her eyes sparkling as she asked, "How romantic! What's the gift?"
"I'm not too sure. We'll have to go to the store to find out." Zhao Yaqian's tone was light and sweet.
Jiang Zimu held her arm and said excitedly: "Qianqian, can I go with you? I'm really curious."
Li Yuanyuan immediately raised her hand, "I want to go too!"
She also wanted to have a good chat with Zhao Yaqian about Isa Beauty's work.
Zhao Yaqian hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, let's go together, I'll take a taxi."
She knew nothing about cars and it was her first time picking up a car.
Xiaoxue and Brother Song went to attend the opening ceremony of Yannan Film and Television Base today. Tingzi is at work now.
Having classmates around makes me feel more at ease.
"Well, I'll drive you there." Zhang Wensheng stood up and whispered, "The last time it stalled was because the battery was broken. Later I replaced it with a new one, and I paid for a maintenance. There haven't been any problems recently."
Jiang Zimu immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, let's take Wensheng's car! This guy really likes driving. He goes out for a few laps every day. Now his driving skills are really good!"
"Let's go, my car is parked right next to us, very close."
After looking at Zhang Wensheng's expression, Zhao Yaqian did not refuse.
Soon, the four of them arrived at the parking lot and got into the familiar Southeast Lionsail.
The interior seems to have been cleaned up, it is clean and tidy, and there are some beautiful floral decorations.
"Bang!" The car door was slammed shut.
Zhao Yaqian opened the map app on her phone, entered the address sent by the salesperson, and started navigating.
Zhang Wensheng skillfully coordinated the ignition, gear shifting, accelerator and clutch, and the Southeast Lionshuai started smoothly.
"Buzz buzz buzz--" the roar of the engine lingered in my ears.
Through the rearview mirror in the car, Zhang Wensheng secretly glanced at Zhao Yaqian sitting in the back seat, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
I bought this car just to pursue Zhao Yaqian.
As soon as I got it, I couldn't help showing off in front of her, but it ended up stalling and the battery broke, and I was so embarrassed that I even left my grandma's house.
This is a hurdle that he cannot get over.
Therefore, he has been honing his driving skills and earning money to maintain his car.
Now I can finally make up for my past regrets, and I have an indescribable feeling in my heart.
After the car stopped and started for nearly 20 minutes, it finally arrived at the destination.
What comes into view in front of you is a modern exhibition hall building. The glass curtain wall on the exterior reflects the sunlight, making it look majestic and luxurious.
The expression on Zhang Wensheng's face froze, and he stared blankly at the Mercedes-Benz logo hanging in the center.
No wonder he felt this place was familiar.
He and several of his roommates in the dormitory all like cars. When they have nothing to do, they will go to various 4S stores to hang out. They have been here before.
"Mercedes-Benz 4S store?" Li Yuanyuan exclaimed, and said incredulously: "Qianqian, the gift your boyfriend mentioned, could it be a car?"
Jiang Zimu's eyelids twitched: "No way? Sending a Mercedes-Benz? This... this is too exaggerated."
"I'm not sure about that, maybe." Zhao Yaqian bit her lip, her eyes full of joy.
The four of them stood outside for a while before walking towards the door.
Walk into the spacious and bright exhibition hall.
The salesperson waiting on the side immediately came over with a professional smile on his face: "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"
Zhao Yaqian smiled and said, "I'll look for Tong Yuzhe."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in a dark suit and with a capable temperament trotted over.
"Hello, Ms. Zhao. I'm Tong Yuzhe. I just spoke to you." He bowed slightly, his tone polite and enthusiastic, "We are ready. Please come this way. I'll take you there."
The footsteps echoed in the spacious exhibition hall, crisp and rhythmic.
Several people followed Tong Yuzhe all the way, passing through rows of display vehicles. After turning a corner, the brightly lit car pick-up area suddenly appeared in front of them.
Right in the center of the field of vision is a car covered with a red dust sheet.
The square and tough lines are looming, full of unique beauty.
It is decorated with various flowers, balloons and decorations, making it look romantic and gorgeous.
Seeing the scene before them, Li Yuanyuan, Jiang Zimu and Zhang Wensheng all stood there in a daze, feeling their mouths dry and their tongues parched.
Although I had guessed it before, when I actually saw that it was a car, the shock I felt was simply indescribable.
Tong Yuzhe turned around and smiled, "Ms. Zhao, this is the gift Mr. Tang prepared for you. Please inspect the car first. If there is no problem, we will help you with the formalities immediately."
Zhao Yaqian's face flushed with excitement. She took a deep breath and walked to the front of the car.
In fact, she already had the answer in her mind.
When I was drinking and chatting with Tingzi and Xiaoxue before, she talked about her favorite cars and colors.
Unexpectedly, Tang Song had secretly ordered it for her.
The two female saleswomen grabbed the soft dust cloth and pulled it down hard.
The moment the red cloth slipped off, the domineering Mercedes-Benz G63 appeared in front of everyone.
"Big G!" Zhang Wensheng blurted out, and his teeth bit his tongue directly.
Li Yuanyuan and Jiang Zimu, who were standing next to Zhao Yaqian, stared blankly at the car in front of them, their minds blank.
Under the gorgeous lights, the square and tough lines of the car body sparkle with a low metallic glow, full of power.
The iconic square box shape, paired with pure white paint and large silver wheels, looks noble and cool, and has great visual impact.
