Chapter 485
Chapter 485 Ten Times
Luxury yacht sailing, beach volleyball, name tag tearing, seafood steam buffet, underwater world, Gold Coast, lonely library...
On the return bus, although everyone was a little tired, the atmosphere was extremely warm and full of laughter.
Songmei Clothing was established not long ago, and most of its employees have just been converted to full-time employees, and many have just joined the company, so there is inevitably a sense of distance between them.
This team-building activity can also be regarded as an ice-breaker among employees.
Gao Mengting leaned back in her chair, looking at the sunset outside the window with a faint smile on her face.
Tang Song handed over a bottle of water and asked with concern: "Are you tired? You had a lot of fun today."
"I'm tired, but very happy. It's great!" Gao Mengting took the water and took a sip, then glanced at her colleagues around her with a satisfied smile on her face.
For her, Songmei Clothing was built up bit by bit by her and Tang Song. Now that she has brought so many employees to her hometown for team building, she feels a great sense of accomplishment.
It feels like returning home in glory.
"I'm really happy." Tang Song nodded, his lips slightly raised, but his eyes moved closer with a hint of embarrassment, and asked in a low voice: "But do you want to go for a drink and a walk together tonight?"
Gao Mengting's cheeks were slightly red. She bit her lower lip and glared at him. Then she said with a little pride, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I have an appointment with my high school classmates tonight, and I'll go home and stay overnight."
This time when she came to Wushan, in addition to company team building, her biggest wish was to go home to visit her parents and meet old friends.
After the three-day trip, she would not return to Yancheng immediately, but planned to stay for a few more days until after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
On the one hand, it is to accompany my family, and on the other hand, it is to stay here and wait for the next batch of employees.
Let’s see if there is a chance to catch some attention with host He Yiyi at the filming location of “Snowy Night”.
Hearing Gao Mengting's words, Tang Song raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh? High school classmate? Male or female?"
"Hmm..." Gao Mengting narrowed her eyes, deliberately keeping the secret, and tapped her chin with her fingertips, "Well... guess?"
Seeing Tang Song silent and thoughtful, she finally couldn't help but chuckle and explained in a low voice: "Don't worry, it's a girl! A close friend who grew up together. We have known each other for more than ten years."
"Okay, you're allowed to go."
Gao Mengting patted him lightly and pretended to be dissatisfied, "Why do I need your permission?"
"Mr. Gao, you are here for team building." Tang Song adjusted his sitting posture seriously, his eyes flashing with a bright smile, "As the president of the company, I have the obligation to supervise your schedule and safety. If anything goes wrong, I will be held responsible."
Gao Mengting snorted twice, turned her head away and continued to look at the scenery outside the window, but the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up.
The bus drove north along the Binhai Avenue and slowly drove into the Shangri-La Hotel.
Zhang Ying from the HR department said enthusiastically, "Students, please take a rest and take a shower when you go back. Don't eat any random snacks. We will have a barbecue tonight!"
Everyone cheered and walked towards the hotel one after another.
"Goodbye, senior. Be careful on your way."
"Bye-Bye."
Gao Mengting said goodbye to the two of them and left in a taxi.
Watch the taxi disappear into the traffic.
Tang Song turned around and looked at Qiu Qiu beside him, his gaze lingering on the top of her head for a moment.
[In cultivation...81%...] (not yet germinated)
The progress of breeding and farming is much slower than expected.
Maybe it was because the team-building process was quite enjoyable and the lively atmosphere made her seem much more optimistic and cheerful.
Noticing Tang Song's gaze, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across Cheng Qiuqiu's eyes. She turned slightly and looked at the sea level covered by the sunset.
Tang Song smiled and asked, "QQ, I heard from Meng Ting that you are very timid. Is it okay for you to sleep alone tonight?"
Cheng Qiuqiu shook her head. "No problem."
Tang Song looked at her cold and aloof appearance and couldn't help but teasing her, "If you're scared, you can ask me to come over and sleep with you."
"Ah!" Cheng Qiuqiu cried out, her fair face turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye, "I'm not afraid."
Tang Song laughed twice and touched her arm casually, "Okay, it's just a joke. Let's go, QQ, go back and pack up and prepare for the BBQ tonight."
Looking at his back, Cheng Qiuqiu bit her lip and quickly followed him.
There were only two of them in the quiet elevator.
Cheng Qiuqiu raised her head and met Tang Song's black and white eyes.
When their eyes met, there seemed to be an inexplicable meaning.
Cheng Qiuqiu's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and she exerted a little force on her hands clasped in front of her.
"Ding——" the elevator stopped on the 19th floor.
Cheng Qiuqiu lowered her head and quickened her pace, seeming to be very afraid of being alone with Tang Song.
Cheng Qiuqiu hurriedly took out the room card from his backpack, unlocked the door, and went straight into the room.
"Bang——" As the door was closed, she let out a long breath.
Putting the backpack aside, Cheng Qiuqiu sat on the bed and began to daydream.
His words "I'll sleep with you" are still echoing in my mind.
Although I know it's just a joke between friends, for some reason, I take it very seriously.
"Ding-ling-ling——" The cell phone rang suddenly, disrupting her thoughts.
【Xu An】
After answering the phone, "Hello, Xu An."
"Hello Qiuqiu, I just finished filming a scene and will be taking a few days off. Are you free tonight? I'll come find you."
Cheng Qiuqiu was silent for a moment, then said, "There is a group activity tonight, so you can't be absent."
"Oh? Okay." Xu An said, "How about tomorrow night? I have a friend here who knows our external producer. He can help your company coordinate and communicate. There should be a chance to start a live broadcast at the shooting location."
Hearing this, Cheng Qiuqiu's eyes lit up, "Thank you Xu An, OK, I'll tell the leader."
"OK, that's a deal." Xu An's voice became cheerful. "To be honest, I really miss you after not seeing you for such a long time. I look forward to tomorrow."
Cheng Qiuqiu didn't respond, and whispered, "Let's not talk for now, I have to go pack my things."
"Yeah, okay, bye."
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Qiuqiu simply washed up, changed her clothes, and happily told Gao Mengting about it.
During the filming period, outsiders are generally not allowed to enter to shoot short videos, live broadcasts, etc., and they need to submit for approval.
It is naturally unlikely that a live streaming e-commerce company like Songmei Clothing will be approved.
But it would be much easier if we had help from external producers, directors, etc.
It is entirely possible to enter in the name of publicity. Even if it is just to shoot a few videos of He Yiyi "visiting the set", it can bring a certain amount of popularity.
This is undoubtedly a good opportunity for Songmei Clothing, which is currently operating a brand.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Then, Tang Song's voice came from outside the door: "It's me."
Cheng Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment, quickly stood up, paused, tidied her wet hair, and then slowly opened the door.
Tang Song's eyes subconsciously swept over her head.
[In cultivation...82%...] (not yet germinated)
Wow! The progress actually increased by 1%!
Cheng Qiuqiu said a little awkwardly: "Mr. Tang...what can I do for you?"
Tang Song walked in directly, turned around and looked at her and said, "Can't I chat with you if I have nothing to do? It seems that you don't regard me as a friend."
"No!" Cheng Qiuqiu raised her head quickly and said anxiously, "I just... just asked, I don't mean anything else."
She has few friends, but Tang Song is definitely a very important one among them.
"There's still a while before the barbecue starts, let's sit down and chat for a while."
"Okay." Cheng Qiuqiu nodded and followed Tang Song to sit down on the sofa in the rest area.
Looking at the cold and majestic face opposite him, Tang Song suddenly asked curiously, "I heard that art students have calluses on their hands. Is that true?"
"Yes, that's right." Cheng Qiuqiu said seriously, "Because the paintbrush is in contact and friction with your fingers for a long time, you basically have calluses on them."
"Can I see yours?"
Cheng Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment, then obediently stretched out her right hand and showed him her fingertips.
"It's true." Tang Song reached out and held her right hand, and his slender and warm fingers gently stroked the calluses on her hand.
Cheng Qiuqiu's body stiffened and he subconsciously pulled his arm back, but it didn't work.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just curious. Although I also practice sketching, I don't hold a pen very often, so I haven't done it." Tang Song put her hand in his palm and looked at her with a smile.
A tingling sensation spread from my hands and instantly spread throughout my body.
Cheng Qiuqiu's lips trembled, her head felt dizzy, and she couldn't utter a word.
They could only let their hands rub and touch each other.
This was the first time she really held hands with a boy, and the other party was Tang Song, her senior’s boyfriend.
[In cultivation...83%...] (not yet germinated)
……
The taxi slowly stopped by the roadside.
Gao Mengting got out of the car carrying her bag, her eyes swept across the bustling street in front of her, and a bright smile instantly broke out on her face.
This is a famous snack street in Wushan, and it has existed since she was seven or eight years old.
Her junior high school and high school were both not far from here, and this street was part of her fond memories of her student days.
The snack street is brightly lit at night, crowded with people, and the sounds of hawking are heard one after another, mixed with the sound of spatulas colliding and electric vehicle horns.
The air is filled with the charred aroma of charcoal-grilled skewers, the fresh fragrance of grilled squid, and the sweet and greasy taste of sugar-roasted chestnuts.
Follow the crowd and move forward slowly.
Gao Mengting looked at the surrounding shops and stalls gently, feeling the familiar atmosphere of her hometown.
I haven't been here for more than a year, and there are many new stores here.
Of course, there were more old faces in her memory, such as the Fuxing Seafood Stall.
Although the name sounds grand, it is actually just a slightly spacious street shop.
During holidays and weekends, this place is always crowded with people.
When Gao Mengting was a child, she often came here for dinner with her classmates. They would order a few plates of barbecued seafood and drink iced drinks. It was so delicious.
Push open the glass door.
A warm current mixed with the aroma of seafood and charcoal fire hits you in the face.
"Hey, isn't this Meng Ting?" The boss sitting behind the cashier grinned and shouted in a northeastern accent, "I haven't seen you for a while! You've become prettier again. How are you? Are you busy with work?"
Gao Mengting was amused by his enthusiasm and replied with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, you are still so good at praising people! The work is okay, not busy."
After exchanging a few pleasantries.
Gao Mengting scanned the entire room and soon spotted her good friend, Hou Feifei, sitting by the window.
I haven't seen her for seven or eight months, but she hasn't changed much.
Wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt, with a round face and a pair of round-frame glasses, she still looks cute and friendly.
"Tingting! Tingting! Over here!"
Noticing Gao Mengting coming in, Hou Feifei immediately stood up and waved vigorously.
Gao Mengting walked over quickly and gave her friend a tight hug. "Long time no see, Feifei. I missed you so much."
"I finally got you here. It wasn't easy!" Hou Feifei looked at her and said in surprise, "Tingting, why do you look so radiant and have such a good temperament now?"
"Haha, you're flattering me like this, do you want me to treat you?"
"No, I'm telling the truth. Wow, you're worthy of starting your own business and being your own boss. You really have that style."
The two chatted for a while, and Hou Feifei said, "Hurry up and sit down. I've already ordered. Let's get started!"
A small table filled with food.
Garlic scallops, spicy fried clams, grilled squid, lamb skewers, and a serving of spicy crayfish.
"Can you finish it? You ordered so much."
"Well, my appetite has improved recently."
As they talked, the two sat opposite each other.
Hou Feifei put a can of iced beer in front of her and said, "I'm glad you came today to eat and drink with me. Otherwise, I would be so uncomfortable that I would die."
Gao Mengting looked at her expression and asked with concern: "What happened? I felt you were acting strange when I called you."
"Come on, have a drink with me first. I'm feeling depressed." Hou Feifei shook the beer can.
Gao Mengting reluctantly touched her cup and took a sip, "Go ahead."
Hou Feifei pouted and said with resentment, "Chen Zhengyu has a girlfriend."
Gao Mengting was stunned for a moment, then smiled and clapped her hands, saying, "Okay, okay, your dog-licking journey has finally come to an end, congratulations!"
She and Hou Feifei live in the same residential area, so they have known each other since childhood.
We were in the same class in high school and were very good friends.
Chen Zhengyu is a classmate in their class. He is tall and handsome, has good academic performance and is very popular in school.
Hou Feifei had a crush on the other person since high school, sending him snacks, chatting with him, and writing him little notes.
After graduation, both of them worked in Wushan.
Hou Feifei was even more excited. She often cared about the other person, and would invite him to dinner and book movie tickets from time to time. She was a typical female bootlicker.
Of course, Chen Zhengyu also expressed a certain affection for Hou Feifei, and the two have always been in an ambiguous stage, more than friends but less than lovers. Hou Feifei has almost become a hooker in the past two years.
"Oh, stop making fun of me!" Hou Feifei glared at her and said through gritted teeth, "The key to the problem is that the girlfriend he found is Lu Qian. Chen Zhengyu knew that Lu Qian and I didn't get along, but he was still with her. He was even dragged by Lu Qian to show off their affection in front of me. It's really fucked up!"
Gao Mengting was stunned and frowned: "They are together? Chen Zhengyu..."
Lu Qian is also their classmate, but her academic performance is very poor and she is a typical "bad student".
She used to bully other female classmates in high school, and even Gao Mengting had conflicts with them.
Chen Zhengyu is a representative of good students and he also attends a prestigious university.
She never thought that these two people would be together.
"Chen Zhengyu is a bastard!" Hou Feifei said angrily, "I can see that he is just using me as a backup!"
Then, she showed off the seafood and started complaining to Gao Mengting.
After graduating from high school, Lu Qian went directly to Australia to study and only returned to Wushan last year.
Now she is a leader in her own company, drives a Porsche, and often invites old classmates to dinner and gatherings to show off.
Hou Feifei was unexpectedly dragged into participating twice by other people, but because of their previous conflicts, she and Lu Qian couldn't talk to each other at all. In addition, she hated her domineering look and had an argument with her some time ago.
So Hou Feifei felt very disgusted that the male god she had been pursuing for many years was actually together with Lu Qian.
Gao Mengting listened quietly, whispering a few words of comfort from time to time.
……
A bonfire was lit on the beach, the orange-yellow flames jumped, illuminating the surroundings warmly and brightly.
"Don't be in a hurry. Brush it with some oil first and then sprinkle the seasoning, otherwise it will get mushy easily."
"Come and try my grilled pork belly, it's guaranteed to sell out!"
...
Employees of Songmei Clothing sat in groups around the barbecue grill, chatting and laughing, and the air was filled with the mixed aroma of charcoal, cumin and seafood.
Tang Song sat on a camping chair with a skewer of beef in his hand.
His eyes kept looking at the shy Qiuqiu beside him.
[In cultivation...88%...] (not yet germinated)
With his intentional and intimate contact, especially after he made a lot of barbecue for her personally, the cultivation progress of [Dream Flower Seeds] jumped to 88%.
However, after reaching this point, the price has stopped rising.
If you want to make rapid progress, you may have to use some drastic measures, such as "forced kiss" or "hug".
Of course, Tang Song is a decent man and would definitely not be so excessive to his friend and employee.
Anyway, judging from Qiuqiu's previous situation, the progress itself is not slow. If I'm lucky, it will sprout and establish a connection tomorrow.
Just as he was daydreaming.
"Buzz buzz buzz--" the phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated.
Tang Song picked it up and took a look at it, a faint smile appearing on his face.
[Wenruan: "You ignored me all day today. Did you have a blast playing with the beauties in your company?"]
Tang Song picked up his phone, took a photo facing forward, and shared the past: "There are indeed many beauties, but none of them are as sexy and beautiful as my sister. I miss you."
[Wenruan: You are sensible (emoticon package)]
【Wenruan: Selfie video.video】
Tang Song muted his phone and clicked on the video to watch.
My heart rate suddenly accelerated and my mouth became dry.
The elder sister had indeed just finished working out, and her gym clothes were soaked with sweat, barely visible.
Big breasts, plump hips, smooth waistcoat lines...
Appeared in the camera one by one.
At the end of the scene, Wenruan simply pulled his pants down, and Tang Song couldn't bear the fever.
[Wenruan: "I just finished working out and I feel itchy inside, but it's a pity that someone is useless. I may have to use some magic props (#cover mouth and laugh)"]
Seeing this message, Tang Song's breathing became rapid instantly, and he quickly replied: "Sister, we can have a video chat tonight, and I will instruct you on how to cast the spell."
【Wenruan: "Don't do that. It's so embarrassing."】
The two chatted for a while.
Tang Song's heart was surged with excitement when he was teased by the older sister, and his abdominal muscles became stiff.
Unfortunately, he is now far away in Wushan.
If Gao Mengting were still there, Tang Song would definitely pull her into the room to discuss how to use the kettle.
Judging from her last performance, the partner already has the conditions to unlock more postures. At least she will not reject this level of contact.
Thinking of Gao Mengting, Tang Song's eyes flashed.
If they were a normal couple when they came to Wushan this time, he should have gone to meet each other's parents.
However, Gao Mengting was very sensible and did not bring up the matter on her own initiative, nor did she ask him to make any promises.
After thinking about it, Tang Song found Gao Mengting's contact information and called her directly.
I don’t know if she has arrived home yet, as she hasn’t sent me any message yet.
As a boyfriend, I should care about you.
……
The sky outside the window was getting darker and darker, and the streets were brightly lit.
Fuxing Seafood Food Stall.
There were a few empty beer cans on the table.
Gao Mengting pinched Hou Feifei's cheeks and said, "You are so pretty. Go find a boy who is better than Chen Zhengyu and make him regret it to death, and make Lu Qian jealous of you to death."
"Hmm!" Hou Feifei raised her glass with red cheeks, "Come on, cheers!"
"cheers!"
There was a crash.
Hou Feifei gulped down a few gulps of beer and made a few heroic remarks.
But her mood gradually became depressed. "To be honest, I really like Chen Zhengyu. He is the best boy I know and the one who best suits my aesthetic taste."
In her opinion, Chen Zhengyu is indeed impeccable - handsome, a graduate of a 985 university, a middle-level manager in a foreign company, and has a high salary.
This is also the reason why she has been willing to be hooked, always holding the fantasy of being with him.
Gao Mengting reached out and patted her shoulder. "There are many people in this world who are better and more handsome than him, but you just haven't met them."
Listening to her bestie's words, Hou Feifei raised her head and asked curiously, "Tingting, from what you said, do you know a boy like this?"
Gao Mengting blinked, and the figure of her partner instantly appeared in her mind. A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Of course."
Hou Feifei's eyes lit up, and she moved closer excitedly: "Then introduce it to me! We are good friends, and it's good to keep it within the family. If you have such a good resource, you have to stick with me!"
"Uh..." Gao Mengting's eyes twitched and she shook her head awkwardly, "Well, let's talk about this when we have a chance."
"Wait! Something's wrong with you!" Hou Feifei looked at her straightly, and then suddenly said, "Could it be...your boyfriend!"
Gao Mengting's body trembled for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and denied it calmly: "What are you imagining? It's not true."
Hou Feifei and her family lived in the same neighborhood, and they had close contact. If she knew about it, it would be the same as letting her parents know.
There will definitely be all kinds of troubles at that time, and maybe even some conflicts with Tang and Song.
Hou Feifei refused to give in, staring at her with sharp eyes: "Really? Look into my eyes and tell me, you can't fool me!"
"Really not!" Gao Mengting took off her gloves, stood up and said, "I drank too much beer. I'm going to the bathroom. You eat first."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the bathroom.
Looking at her somewhat flustered back, Hou Feifei frowned slightly, always feeling that things were not that simple.
At this moment, a "buzzing" vibration sound was heard.
Hou Feifei took a look and saw that it was her best friend Gao Mengting's phone, which had been left on the table because she had just left in a hurry.
【Tang and Song Dynasties】
It's a boy's name.
Hou Feifei couldn't suppress her curiosity and reached out to answer the phone.
"Hello? Dear partner, have you finished your meal with your friends?" A deep and magnetic male voice came from the receiver, his tone full of concern and intimacy.
Hou Feifei's slightly tipsy head suddenly sobered up, and she spoke tentatively: "Hello, hello, I'm Tingting's best friend. Who are you? Tingting's boyfriend?"
"Um... yes, I heard Mengting mention you, Feifei, right? Hello, I'm Tang Song."
Hou Feifei's eyes twinkled and she said, "Oh! Hello Tang Song! It's like this, Tingting drank a little too much and is vomiting in the toilet. I can't take care of her alone, would it be convenient for you to come over and take her home."
"Oh? You're drunk? Okay, where is the location? I'll be there right away!"
"Just navigate to Fuxing Seafood Stall, which is in the development zone."
After hanging up the phone, Hou Feifei took a deep breath, her eyes flashing with irrepressible excitement.
You are so good, Tingting! You even hid it from me!
Boyfriend? A guy who is better than Chen Zhengyu? I want to see what you look like!
……
Beach barbecue scene.
Tang Song put down his phone, turned around and said, "Qiuqiu, Mengting has something to do, I'll go over there first, you guys continue playing."
Cheng Qiuqiu raised her head quickly, "Do you need my help?"
"No, it's okay, I'm leaving now, bye."
Tang Song waved his hand and walked straight towards Liu Jiayi who was standing in the corner.
She was quietly watching the lively barbecue scene but not participating in it.
Sensing someone approaching, she raised her eyes and whispered, "Boss Tang."
"Jiayi, I remember you have a car here, right?"
"Yes, just park in the Shangri-La parking lot." Liu Jiayi nodded.
As Tang Song's driver and head of the security team, she would naturally arrange everything.
"I'll use it for a bit."
"Okay." Liu Jiayi didn't ask any more questions. She took out the car keys and handed them over in a quick and decisive manner.
The two came to a parking lot not far away.
Tang Song pressed the remote control key, and with a crisp unlocking sound, the lights of the elegant Bentley Mulsanne flashed.
I opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat. I started the engine and the deep and rich roar instantly filled the entire space.
I had just set up the navigation when the phone rang.
【Soft】
After answering the phone, Tang Song said in a gentle voice: "Hello, Ruanruan, what's wrong?"
"Hello, Tang Song." The gentle voice paused and continued, "There is something I have thought about and I still want to tell you."
Tang Song raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?"
"Director Jin has come to Yancheng."
This short sentence made Tang Song's heart tremble violently, and he subconsciously gripped the steering wheel tightly.
Secretary Jin actually came to Yancheng? !
Then he realized that Secretary Jin must have known that he was in Wushan at the moment, so he chose this time to come to Yancheng.
Although he had a strong urge to rush back immediately, he forced himself to suppress his emotions.
He took a deep breath and whispered, "Thank you, sister. I understand."
Wen Ruan deliberately dragged out her tone, with a tentative tone: "Then... do you want to know where she lives?"
Tang Song was stunned and asked, "Where do you live?"
Wenruan said playfully and cunningly, "Five times."
"make a deal."
"Humph, you agreed so readily. It turns out that people are different. I can't compare to others after all."
Tang Song said helplessly: "Okay baby, I was wrong."
"So... ten times?"
"Um...sister you..."
"Alas~~ My life is so miserable——"
"Deal!" Tang Song's eyes twitched. The elder sister was really addicted.
Wen Ruan chuckled, and then slowly said: "I heard Shangguan Qiuya say that she went to Yan Jingtian City to find Director Jin to report her work. I didn't ask anything else. I think you should know more than me."
