Chapter 526 Please, give me a chance!
Chapter 526 Please, give me a chance!
Hearing the system prompt sound beside his ear, Tang Song paused and sat up straight.
Wow! Big campus beauty, you really gave me a big surprise!
You know, he spent 2000 million to buy this from the system mall, and after clearing the copy, he can also get the precious [Charm +1] reward.
But three months have passed and there is still no movement.
I didn't expect to be triggered by Shen Yuyan in the Magic City.
He is indeed a contrasting person like Xiaoxue!
Tang Song's mood suddenly became extremely wonderful, and that was only because Shen Yuyan was not there, otherwise he would have kissed her twice.
By now, it was hard to get him that excited.
The improvement of charm value is undoubtedly one of them.
I just got a [Charm +1] mission from Dayanma, and now it comes again from Shen Yuyan.
As long as these two tasks are completed, you can basically reach a charm of 80 and inherit the assets of the next stage!
Maybe he will just inherit the [female celebrity].
However, considering Anne's personality, the task of conquering her will definitely not be accomplished in a short time.
On the contrary, School Beauty Shen will soon reap some rewards.
Tang Song opened the system interface and entered the warehouse.
The item [Whisper of Humanity] that originally emitted a gray glow has disappeared, replaced by a colorful card.
see details.
[Shen Yuyan's Whisper]: After use, a special event copy will be loaded into the real world (player's perspective). Players are requested to prepare in advance.
[Note: Validity period (11 hours, 59 minutes, 28 seconds)]
Tang Song stared at the card deeply, took a deep breath, selected [Shen Yuyan's Whisper], and opened it immediately.
"Swoosh——" the light curtain in front of him began to flow.
A magnificent picture appeared in his vision.
High-rise buildings flashing neon lights, large French windows reflecting people’s figures, high-end offices, desks symbolizing power, and piles of folders…
The pale golden light surges among these elements, dazzling the eyes.
Then, lines of text popped out:
【Human nature is diverse and complex. Each person has his or her own unique experiences, backgrounds, and personalities, which makes it difficult to simply summarize or generalize human nature. 】
【We should respect the uniqueness and differences of each person and try to understand their behavior and motivations. 】
[As an independent individual, Shen Yuyan is a very typical woman. She is scheming, proud, tenacious, contradictory, introspective, vindictive, and eager for recognition...]
[By observing her choices and behaviors, you can better understand women, help you improve your emotional intelligence, better handle the delicate balance in interpersonal relationships, and understand the charm of power. ]
[Welcome to the special event copy - Shen Yuyan's Whisper]
[Instance characters: Observer (Tang Song), Test subject (Shen Yuyan)]
[You have obtained the dungeon skill "Whisper"]
[Whisper]: In the dungeon environment, when the test subject (Shen Yuyan) shows huge psychological fluctuations, you will be able to see her inner whispers.
[Act 1]
[On October 10 at 7:13, you accepted Shen Yuyan's invitation to have dinner and chat together in the evening, listened carefully to her thoughts, observed her behavior, and finally when you said goodbye, you asked her to accompany you to attend "Investor Night: Leading the Future"]
After reading the copy information, Tang Song's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look.
His overall quality has improved a lot compared to when he was Lin Muxue.
Especially when it comes to dealing with women.
Unlike Lin Muxue, this school beauty is the type with deep scheming.
They have stable emotions, high quality, and rarely experience major psychological fluctuations.
The fact that she was selected by the system meant that something happened around her that had a profound impact on her.
Tang Song looked at the message sent by Shen Yuyan on the mobile phone screen.
He quickly tapped the screen: "I happen to be free tonight, no problem."
"Buzzing—"
[Shen Yuyan: "That's great, I'll book a restaurant and send you the location. See you tonight."]
[Shen Yuyan: Hook (emoticon package)]
Tang Song responded with an emoticon.
[Shen Yuyan: "By the way, I haven't asked you where you live in Shanghai. A big shot like you must have your own house (#curious)."]
Tang Song smiled and replied, "I've been staying at a friend's house recently."
Then he shared his location.
Shen Yuyan is now his darling.
[Whisper of Humanity] This item is pretty awesome.
He was looking forward to this campus beauty being able to trigger more tasks like the fake socialite, the "experimental subject", to help improve her charm.
[Shen Yuyan: "ヽ(￣▽￣), okay, then I won't disturb you, a busy man. Bye."]
After replying to the message, Tang Song put down his phone and looked at the copy details for a while.
I returned to the main interface and glanced at my personal information.
[Player: Tang Song (77' Charm)]
【Role: Songmei Clothing-President】
【Height: 184CM, Weight: 80KG】
[Physique: 78, Endurance: 80, Agility: 73, Comprehension: 83]
【Asset Status:】
Balance: 0.96 million yuan (investment 5.045 million yuan)
...
"Swish!" The light curtain disappeared.
Tang Song picked up the coffee cup casually, took a sip, and the slightly cool liquid slid across the tip of his tongue.
He put down the cup, opened Annie's chat box, and left a message: "My coffee is cold, please make me a new cup, 5% sugar, no milk."
【Annie: "Oh, God, I didn't expect you to be so difficult."】
Tang and Song Dynasty: Pat.jpg
After a while.
[Annie: "Okay, I'll do it, but only because I'm in a good mood today. But I might accidentally spill it all over your computer."]
As if to increase the threat, Annie also posted a very wild selfie below.
Looking at the blond and blue-eyed foreign horse in the photo, Tang Song did not retreat or feel annoyed. Instead, he became more eager to try.
It has to be said that Anne completely aroused his desire to conquer.
But that's what makes her even more attractive.
……
"Ding——" the elevator slowly opened on the first floor of the building.
Shen Yuyan lowered her head in silence, holding her handbag, and walked out of the glass door.
The cold wind mixed with fine rain blew in my face and the sky was covered with dark clouds.
The whole world seemed to be shrouded in a gloomy hue.
This made her mood even darker.
She stood under the awning, took out her cell phone and called a taxi, but her eyes were fixed on the endless rain curtain outside the window.
The rain slid down the eaves, dripping, interweaving with her disordered heartbeat.
After a while, a Buick New Energy Vehicle with its hazard lights on stopped outside the drop-off area.
Shen Yuyan glanced at the license plate, rushed into the rain, and got in the car.
She sat stiffly in her seat, her wet hair sticking to her cheeks, looking disheveled and tired.
Until now, her hands still couldn't help shaking.
Certain emotions were surging out from the depths of her heart, devouring her last bit of calmness.
For her, the sky had fallen.
She is a very proud, confident, even a little conceited person.
Because of illness, she failed to get ideal results in the college entrance examination. Her family and teachers advised her to repeat the exam. After all, with her ability, admission to a double first-class university was almost certain.
However, she disagreed.
Why waste your youth repeating boring questions?
University is just a starting point; true glory needs to be achieved through one’s own efforts.
She firmly believes that with her emotional intelligence, talent and appearance, she can still become the focus of everyone's attention even if she chooses an ordinary university.
The fact is also as she expected.
University beauty, student union president, outstanding alumni resources, personal IP creation...
Every step she took was brilliant.
After graduation, he joined a Fortune 500 foreign company, built up his network, and eventually resigned to start his own business.
Even if others look down on Youjie Housekeeping, for Shen Yuyan, it is the result of her many years of hard work and a career she is proud of.
It is this identity that gives her the confidence, allowing her to stand up straight and introduce herself on various occasions, participate in high-end events, and deal with people in the capital circle.
He even expected to gain recognition and preferential treatment from Tang Song, to become his entrepreneurial partner, and to move up step by step.
Finally, I touched the unreachable clouds, stood on a tall building and looked down, got to know Director Jin, and made friends with Ms. Ouyang.
However, all this is crumbling.
Her dream was about to be shattered, and her previous efforts and persistence seemed to have become a mockery of her.
The fear, hatred and anger in her heart overwhelmed and entangled her.
It almost suffocated her.
Wang Yubo, Ren Mingyuan, Hou Shaoyuan, Liu Kaili, Yu Renyu, Huang Yangming, Wang Huan, Gao Zhiyuan…
The names of those who had mocked her, oppressed her, and bullied her flashed through her mind.
Shen Yuyan clenched his fists and his teeth were grinding.
"Just wait! No one of you can escape!"
...
"Hello, beautiful lady. We're here." The driver reminded politely.
"Thank you." Shen Yuyan responded, pushed the door and got out of the car.
The rain outside had stopped. She stopped in the middle of the building and looked up at the towering buildings.
Step into the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
Take the elevator back to the executive suite on the 82nd floor.
Looking at the bustling scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window, Shen Yuyan's fingertips gently touched the cold glass.
I turned around and started packing my luggage and checking out.
More than half an hour later.
Shen Yuyan carried his suitcase and walked into the Four Seasons Hotel on the banks of Suzhou River.
Since the National Day holiday has ended, housing prices have fallen to just over 500 yuan, which is also the limit she can accept for her daily business trips.
Of course, the reason for choosing this place is that it is only more than 200 meters away from Suhewan OCT where Tang Song is located.
After checking in, Shen Yuyan called to make a restaurant reservation and sent the location to Tang Song. Then he walked straight into the shopping mall opposite the hotel and started buying "equipment" there.
4: p.m.
Shen Yuyan returned to her hotel room, took a fragrant hot bath, and then carefully took care of her skin, removed hair, styled her hair, put on makeup, and applied perfume.
It is worth mentioning that the perfume she chose was the one she often used in college. It was not expensive, but smelled very good.
It has a light citrus scent, which is fresh but not overly sweet, and has a subtle yet distant taste.
In order to make her eyes more lively and bright, she specially wore a pair of daily disposable colored contact lenses, and the selfie in the mirror immediately looked more youthful and energetic.
Then put on the clothes you carefully selected one by one.
The sky outside the window gradually darkened, twilight enveloped the city, and lights gradually illuminated the streets.
Shen Yuyan stood in front of the mirror, looking at her appearance.
Hairstyle, makeup, accessories, outfit...
Everything was impeccable, exactly like her style during her college days.
The biggest difference may be temperament.
"Tang Song, have you ever been attracted to me?"
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened her eyes again, a fresh and sweet smile was on her face.
At this moment, she has entered a state of combat readiness.
……
It was approaching 7 o'clock in the evening.
Suhewan OCT.
"Ding-ling-ling——" the cell phone rang.
Tang Song picked it up and glanced at it, then answered the call with a smile, "Hello? Yuyan."
"Hey, Tang Song, what's going on?" Shen Yuyan's voice was sweet, slightly different from before.
"I just changed my clothes and was about to leave. Are you here?"
"No." Shen Yuyan paused, with a hint of mischief in her voice, "Guess where I am? There's a prize for guessing correctly."
Tang Song raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment before saying, "Overseas Chinese Town?"
"Bingo! We really are in sync, haha. I'm at the southeast gate of the community, and I think the location you sent is the closest to here."
"What reward?" "You'll know when you get here, haha~~"
The two exchanged a few jokes and then hung up the phone.
Tang Song's eyes flickered slightly. He could clearly feel that Shen Yuyan was particularly proactive and enthusiastic today.
Although she was quite active before, she always maintained a certain degree of restraint and reserve, such as just sending WeChat messages or sharing selfies. She has never been as direct and bold as she is now.
This made him even more curious about what had happened to her.
Putting on his coat, Tang Song walked out briskly.
Since he would definitely drink at night, he simply decided not to drive.
In the living room area on the second floor, Annie was lying on the sofa with a laptop in front of her, typing lazily on the keyboard.
It is worth noting that she was only wearing underwear on her lower body.
Hearing Tang Song's footsteps, she looked up and said, "You are dressed so handsomely, are you going on a date with a beautiful girl?"
"Yes."
Hearing this, Annie deliberately unbuttoned two buttons on her shirt, revealing her deep cleavage.
Leaning forward slightly, his voice was low and seductive: "Song, as long as you give up your date with her tonight, I promise, you will get more."
Tang Song smiled, stepped forward, pinched her cheek, stared into her eyes, and said calmly: "I can do it now, can't I?"
As he spoke, his hand slowly moved downwards.
Annie breathed heavily and licked her lips, her eyes gleaming with dangerous excitement.
He suddenly stretched out his long legs and tried to kick him, but Tang Song, who had expected this, easily caught him.
The two fooled around in the living room for a while until the phone in his pocket vibrated again.
[Shen Yuyan: "Haven't you arrived yet? Could you be lost? (#covering mouth and laughing)"]
It can be seen that the school beauty is getting impatient.
Tang Song patted the big foreign horse and turned to walk towards the elevator.
Walk through the green area of the community and approach the gate.
A familiar figure gradually came into his sight.
A white tank top, a khaki pleated skirt, white sneakers, a light grey knitted cardigan, and a beige canvas bag slung across her shoulder.
Shen Yuyan stood quietly on the side of the road, holding a book in his hand.
The light from the street lamp shone on her, outlining a soft outline.
The Shen Yuyan in front of him looked just like a school beauty from college.
Exudes a fresh and sweet temperament.
Tang Song's heartbeat involuntarily quickened.
Having just experienced the dream memories of 17 and 18 years ago, he was particularly familiar with Shen Yuyan at that time.
The emotions buried deep in my heart quietly surfaced, and it is inevitable that there will be some fluctuations.
During the hormonal period in college, apart from the "dream state", he was just an ordinary college student.
To say that you have no thoughts about the school belle who is the center of attention is simply deceiving yourself.
Including his later active approach to Xu Qing, the filter of youth was also indispensable.
Tang Song took a deep breath and walked towards her.
at the same time.
Above her head, a clear bullet screen popped up:
[Why hasn’t he come yet? ? It’s so cold, I can’t stand it any longer! ]
Shen Yuyan rubbed her exposed slender legs gently, and her eyes secretly swept towards the direction of the door.
I just happened to see a handsome figure.
Her eyes trembled and her lips trembled. For some reason, she suddenly wanted to cry.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
"It's okay." Shen Yuyan bit her lip and slightly exerted force on the arm holding the book. "It's good that you can come. I was afraid that you would stand me up."
"Your outfit today is very similar to what you wore in college. It's really beautiful. But it must be very cold, right?"
Shen Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to be relaxed: "I'm going on a date with you, so of course I have to dress nicely. As long as you like it, that's fine."
Seeing the humble attitude of School Beauty Shen, Tang Song was touched, "Let's go to the restaurant first."
"Okay, okay." Shen Yuyan nodded, stopped a taxi, pushed Tang Song, and let him get in first.
Then she gently stroked her skirt and sat down briskly.
"Bang——" the car door was closed.
Shen Yuyan put the canvas bag on his lap and handed the book over: "Here, this is your reward."
Tang Song took it and took a look. It was "A Brief History of Humankind" written by Yuval Noah, which he had seen before in the online book list.
Shen Yuyan smiled and said, "This is a book I particularly like recently. I just finished reading it when I came to the Magic City this time, so I'm sharing it with you."
"Thank you."
The car drove towards the Bund.
A fresh scent of perfume wafted over her. Shen Yuyan moved her butt and sat next to him. She stretched out her white and tender fingers, casually scratched the book, and introduced to him the thoughts on the rapid evolution of human society in the book.
Her tone, movements, and expressions are all like the campus beauty in college.
Barrage: [He was looking at me but not saying anything. Did he think my clothes and words were too deliberate? ]
[Will he hate me? Should I be more restrained? ]
...
The restaurant Shen Yuyan booked was in the North District of the Bund Financial Center, very close to OCT.
It only took about ten minutes to reach the destination.
This is a two-Michelin-star restaurant with an average consumption of more than 2000 yuan per person. It specializes in Italian seafood dishes that are exquisite and luxurious.
The two of them sat by the window and could overlook the dazzling night view of the Bund after the rain through the floor-to-ceiling glass.
The Huangpu River sparkles under the lights, and contrasts with the international buildings in the distance, which is very romantic.
"This is a lobster and caviar tart, with rich textures and a rich and delicate flavor. Try it. This one is specially recommended online. It is said that the chef spent a year developing it."
"There are three different ways to prepare foie gras: kumquat foie gras jelly, cherry foie gras..."
As Shen Yuyan explained, he took a small piece with a fork and handed it to Tang Song's plate. His movements were elegant and just right.
She picked up the bottle of champagne and, with a slight turn of her wrist, expertly poured each of them a glass.
The crystal clear wine is filled with delicate bubbles in the glass.
Shen Yuyan smiled and said, "Come on, let's drink to our reunion in the Magic City."
Her tone was relaxed and natural, as if it was just a simple gathering of friends.
Barrage: [No matter what I say, I can't be too eager to expose my anxiety and desire. I only have one chance, I must seize it. ]
"Ding~" The two of them clinked their glasses lightly.
Shen Yuyan then started talking about the topic from "college life" to "artificial intelligence" and then to the "financial field".
Unlike Xiaoxue, she is obviously a person with stable emotions, and only occasionally triggers "Whisper":
[Why didn't I notice his uniqueness when I was in college? He was Lu Ziming's roommate and I had met him several times.]
[Maybe I was too snobbish at the time, I always felt that those inconspicuous people were not worth paying attention to, what a pity! ]
[How should I respond? When he said "founder's traits", was he praising me or reminding me? Don't be shy, Shen Yuyan! ]
[Was what I just said too utilitarian? It sounded like I was promoting myself! ]
[The most urgent thing is to increase my bargaining chips in his heart! ]
...
Tang Song quietly plays the role of [Observer].
He could feel Shen Yuyan's urgency and depression, and could also sense her uneasiness and nervousness.
But he never led the conversation from beginning to end, nor did he ask her what had happened. Instead, he observed Shen Yuyan as a bystander.
I have a deeper understanding of this former university beauty.
As expected of Qingqing, she is labeled as "scheming Yan". This school beauty has so many little thoughts, which are completely different from the silly Qingqing.
9 o'clock in the evening.
The two walked out of the restaurant.
The night is as dark as ink, and the neon lights of the city are flickering in the distance, casting a blurry light and shadow.
They got on the car they had called in advance and returned to OCT Suhewan.
Shen Yuyan also got out of the car and stood outside the gate of the community. The atmosphere seemed a little subtle.
Tang Song turned around and asked, "By the way, where do you live?"
Shen Yuyan raised his hand and pointed to the northeast. "It's just a few hundred meters away at the Four Seasons Hotel. Tang Song, I just finished my meal. Why don't you take a walk to digest the food and give me a ride at the same time?"
"Okay, let's go." Tang Song nodded with a smile, then followed Shen Yuyan and walked forward on the wet sidewalk.
It had just rained in autumn, the air was filled with a moist scent, and the evening breeze blew on my face.
Shen Yuyan seemed to be very cold. He shivered violently and then stamped his feet.
Tang Song glanced at her, tactfully took off his coat, and gently draped it over her shoulders, "You must be cold, I told you that you were wearing too little."
Feeling the warmth and faint masculine scent coming from the clothes, Shen Yuyan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she whispered, "Thank you."
At this moment, all emotions come from the heart.
When she was most vulnerable and in pain, having someone like this to chat and eat with really made her feel a lot more relaxed.
She never denied her affection for Tang Song. No matter how many external factors were involved, the affection was real.
The reason why he rejected Wang Yubo and was even unwilling to be perfunctory with him was also because of Tang Song.
"You're welcome. You came to pick me up today and treated me to a delicious meal. I should be the one thanking you."
Shen Yuyan raised her head slightly, looked at Tang Song's handsome profile under the light, and suddenly launched an attack: "I am very happy to invite my male god to dinner."
Tang Song raised his eyebrows slightly, "The school beauty's mouth is so sweet."
Shen Yuyan tilted her head and pouted her rosy lips, "You haven't tasted it, how do you know if it's sweet?"
She seemed to be a little drunk, and her words were unclear, sounding like a joke, but also serious.
Hearing this, Tang Song suddenly stopped and stared into her eyes.
"Plop-plop-"
Shen Yuyan's throat rolled, as if she could hear her own heartbeat. She subconsciously held her breath and looked at him.
[Tang Song! Come here! ]
[Kiss me! Kiss me now! Should I be more proactive? But wouldn’t that be too coquettish?]
The two of them stared at each other in silence for five full seconds.
Just when Shen Yuyan was about to lose control, Tang Song suddenly looked away and said calmly, "You can tell by looking."
Shen Yuyan was stunned, and an indescribable pain instantly surged into his heart.
got rejected.
[Am I not good enough? Or am I simply unimportant in his eyes? ]
[Haha, Youjie Housekeeping has failed. I am a loser. What qualifications do I have to ask him to take the initiative? ]
[No, you can't think like that... Shen Yuyan, you have to calm down.]
The footsteps sounded again in the night, and the building of the Four Seasons Hotel was getting closer and closer.
Shen Yuyan suddenly stopped and looked down at her little white shoes.
Barrages of comments were flying overhead:
[Why? Lin Muxue can eat it, Wenruan can eat it, Xiaojing can eat it, so why can't I, Shen Yuyan, eat it? ]
...
[Dashaqing, forgive me. ]
[Shen Yuyan, you are such a bitch. You are thinking about betraying your best friend while making excuses for yourself! ]
[Haha, I am a selfish person! ]
[But what can I do? I have no way out, and I don't have much time left. ]
[He has rejected me once. If I lose this opportunity, he will only go further and further away.]
[I am unwilling to accept this, I really am unwilling to accept this! ]
...
Tears gradually blurred his eyes and Shen Yuyan's shoulders trembled slightly.
Tang Song pursed his lips and patted her shoulder with concern, "What's wrong, Yuyan?"
"Maybe I drank too much champagne. Some things...are very sad when I think about them."
"What's the matter? Can you tell me?" Tang Song looked at the school beauty Shen with complicated eyes.
She is far more complicated than she appears.
Her combination of pride and vulnerability, ambition and self-esteem, makes her both fascinating and dangerous.
And this sense of contradiction seems to be what makes her most attractive.
Shen Yuyan took a deep breath and looked up at him, "Actually, I've always wanted to seriously say sorry to you."
"During the angel round of Youjie Housekeeping, I promised Qingqing that I would let you have a deep chat, but I...but I still didn't take it seriously, and I didn't even seriously understand your situation, and finally made the wrong choice."
"Now I am reaping the fruits of my own actions. Youjie Home Service has fallen into a dead end, and our entrepreneurial team's two years of hard work have been destroyed. To be honest, I really regret it."
"I know you must have some opinions in your heart. I was wrong. I was too proud and short-sighted. I hope you can forgive my ignorance at the time."
Tang Song shook his head gently. "Everyone makes mistakes. This is normal. And you don't need to apologize to me. The original choice was also decided by your team."
"Thank you for your understanding, Tang Song." Shen Yuyan took a half step forward and hugged him gently, "Then do you think... do I still have a chance?"
The color of the barrage began to turn red:
[Please, give me a chance! I don't want to lose, I can't lose! ]
