Chapter 125: Chapter 124 Wen Ruan’s Boyfriend Chapter 125: Chapter 124 Wen Ruan’s Boyfriend May 12, 2023, Friday, cloudy turning clear, 15~30°C. He Liting got up early. After buying breakfast, she pushed open the door to the secondary bedroom and walked in. Zhao Yaqian was sprawled on the bed, sound asleep, occasionally snoring lightly, drool flowing from the slightly open corner of her mouth. Shaking her head, He Liting first placed a tissue at the corner of her mouth. Last night, after having a brief conversation about Tang Song, Yaqian had also felt a sense of crisis. She even asked to be filmed in a very sexy video, a disappearing pants trick, the kind with bare legs. The video was incredibly seductive, making her blush just from watching it. It was clear that Yaqian really liked him. “Buzz buzz buzz—” The smartphone on the bedside table vibrated. The screen lit up. [Tang Song: picture.jpg] [Tang Song: “Today’s selfie has arrived, see if my skin has improved.”] He Liting’s heart skipped a beat, and after hesitating for a while, her curiosity got the better of her. She picked up the phone and entered the password to unlock it. The two of them had been close since childhood, knowing each other’s phone passcodes clearly. She opened WeChat, where Tang Song’s chat was pinned at the top. She clicked on the chat box to view the picture. He Liting’s cheeks flushed red, and she tossed the phone back as if it were burning hot. She had expected it to be just a regular selfie, not one with his upper body bare. Standing by the bed, she hesitated for a while then bit her lip and picked up the phone again. She clicked on the image again. Compared to a little over a month ago, from the photo she had seen on Yaqian’s phone, Tang Song’s physique had improved massively. His shoulders were broad and strong, and even the muscles at his waist were faintly defined. Overall, he looked very harmonious and was filled with masculine charm. With her face still flushed, He Liting stared at it for a while before sneakily putting the phone down. She ate, washed up, did her makeup, and went to work. Entering the spacious and clean office, sunlight streamed through the glass curtain wall on the east side, warm and comforting. “Morning, Liting.” Seeing his colleague, Sun Youguang quickly greeted her. He was usually the first one to arrive every day, especially now that the company was about to get on the right track, he was even more excited and motivated at work. “Morning! Brother Sun!” He Liting replied with a smile, taking out a water bottle, tissue, small mirror, phone stand, and some other essential gadgets from her tote bag for work. She arranged them neatly on her desk according to her preference. After thinking for a while, she moved a small potted plant from the corner to the edge of the desk as a decoration. What was initially somewhat empty suddenly became colorful and vibrant. A nice and comfortable workstation made her feel very happy. Having graduated from a community college and with a less prestigious major, she had stumbled into Changyun Media, a formal company. But even the working environment and atmosphere there couldn’t compare with Songmei Clothing. Moreover, the new boss was Yaqian’s boyfriend. She had a feeling that her life was definitely about to take a huge turn. “Morning!” “Good morning!” “Good morning, President Gao!” ... Time ticked away, and the office gradually filled with more people. It was evident that everyone was passionate and full of enthusiasm. After discussing today’s work and some entertainment gossip. The HR Officer, Zhang Ying, holding a cup of water, approached and leaned on the desk in the office area. She looked pitifully at them and said, “Guys, I have a small favor to ask. Could you please lend me a helping hand?” “Sure, what is it?” “Speak up! I, Brother Liu, am the most willing to help others, especially beautiful ladies like Ying, haha.” Zhang Ying immediately became excited and said, “Next Saturday, that’s May 20, my idol Su Yu will have a concert ticket pre-sale in Yan City. Could you guys help me buy some tickets? If you can get them, I’ll pay double the price!” “Ah?” Wang Qingya exclaimed and said helplessly, “I can’t help with that, I’m also a hardcore fan of Su Yu. I’ve already rallied friends to help buy tickets.” “Sorry Ying, Brother Liu can’t help with this. My wife already booked me in advance.” “I’ve been looking forward to Su Yu’s concert for a long time, I even plan to hire someone to snag the tickets for me.” ... Zhang Ying’s face turned bitter, “Alright then, everyone just relies on their own capabilities.”] Sun Youguang was the only one to raise his hand, shyly saying, “I can help; my wife is free that day too, we’ll both try to get them for you.” “Awesome, thank you Brother Sun! I’ll share the ticket-buying app with you.” Listening to her colleagues heatedly discussing, He Liting couldn’t help but shake her head. Su Yu only had two concerts a year, and this one in Yan City was added unexpectedly. It required real-name registration, forbade ticket transfers, and attendees had to undergo ID and facial recognition at the venue. So many fans nationwide were scrambling for it; it was practically hell mode. She had friends who had greeted her as well. “Good morning, President Tang!” “President Tang!” A wave of greetings rang out, and He Liting looked up to see Tang Song approaching, carrying several bags in his hand. “Good morning everyone! I bought a variety of coffee flavors, help yourselves,” Tang Song said as he set the bags on the desk at the center of the office area. Instantly, a flurry of “Thank you, boss” and “The boss is so handsome” flattery came his way. He Liting also noticed that, while handing Tang Song a coffee, Wang Qingya touched his hand and sighed, “President Tang’s hands are so beautiful.” This was typical office sexual harassment! He Liting felt angry for Qianqian. Of course, she had to admit that Tang Song’s greatest asset was his beautiful hands, perfect for a hand model, typically seen in comics, surely very comfortable to touch. Last night, in their six-person group chat, Wang Qingya and a few other girls were discussing this topic. After taking a sip of the fragrant mocha, He Liting contentedly licked her lips. Then, a “rustle rustle” sound was heard. Looking up, she saw Tang Song sitting down at the desk opposite hers. His tall stature was too high for the half-transparent glass partition to block. Today, he wore a casual light blue shirt, looking very clean and refreshing. Seeing the calm and elite President Tang in the office, and then thinking about the photo of Tang Song with his shirt off this morning, He Liting felt a ticklish feeling in her heart and quickly lowered her head. “Liting!” Gao Mengting, from a diagonal desk, called out to her and said, “We are partnering for tomorrow’s live stream; I’ll take you to get familiar with the first batch of clothes we’ll use later.” “Yeah, yeah, that’s great, President Gao!” He Liting hurriedly put aside her little thoughts, nodding with a blush. ... Huayun Center, Light and Shadow Media. The marketing planning department’s director, Ning Song, clapped his hands and smiled, “I have some good news for everyone. Our marketing planning team’s weekend team-building event has had some changes, and this time it’s together with the new media operations department. The team-building funds are ample this time, and the location has changed to the Riverside Creative Park by the Taiping River. “Werewolf” game, KTV, open-air lawn barbecue, outdoor 200-inch movie screen, all equipment to the max.” Upon hearing this, cheers and discussions rose and fell. Ning Song raised his hand to continue, “Just a friendly reminder, we will be staying overnight there on Saturday. If you’re bringing family, let us know in advance; an additional 300 yuan is needed, which includes accommodation and food.” An excited colleague nearby said, “Sister Wen, bring your boyfriend along!” “Yes, yes, the weather is nice now; it’d be great to go for a vacation by the river.” They were very curious about Wen Ruan’s boyfriend. The CTO of a large company, and he even gave such an expensive luxury handbag. Wen Ruan smiled and shook her head, “No, he’s quite busy with work; maybe next time.” She and Tang Song weren’t at the boyfriend and girlfriend stage yet, and their understanding of each other wasn’t very deep. Staying in the same room now seemed a bit too soon. Moreover, men too easily gotten are often not cherished; they were still only flirting and chatting, and she didn’t want to escalate to physical intimacy too quickly. Upon hearing this, Zhong Ying behind her made a snide comment, “Sister Wen, your boyfriend is quite low-profile, huh? He’s never come to pick you up at the office, hasn’t sent flowers, and you’ve never posted pictures in social circles.” Wen Ruan glanced at her, choosing to completely ignore her, and looked up at her computer screen. Engaging with such idiots only excites them more. Just then, Director Wang came over and smiled, “Wen Ruan, there’s a minor issue with the advertisement placement for Morning Light Technology; let’s go to the small meeting room and discuss it.” Wen Ruan frowned and stood up, “Why not just head to the activity area? I could do with a cup of coffee to refresh myself.” Being in the small meeting room with this Director Wang, who had bad breath, was truly torture. “Alright.” They watched the two leave. From the opposite desk, Li Meiling, who was over thirty and wore heavy makeup, scoffed, “A 25-year-old CTO with his own venture and generous and thoughtful demeanor. I think Wen Ruan is dreaming.” Wang Liyu was only 32 years old this year and was the director of the new media operations department, highly regarded by the senior leaders in the company. Moreover, he was a returned overseas student with a very good family background, tall and slim, and also quite handsome. Since he started at the company after the new year, many had pursued him. Unfortunately, he had eyes only for Wen Ruan, showing little interest in others. Even this team-building event, involving both the new media operations department and their marketing planning department, was probably organized by Wang Liyu to get closer to Wen Ruan. Thinking this, Zhong Ying spoke through clenched teeth, “It might also be because he’s rather ugly, and Sister Wen is embarrassed for us to see her boyfriend.” ... In the activity area, at the bar near the window, Wen Ruan opened a window while listening to Director Wang’s work presentation and sipped her coffee in small gulps. Once the work discussion was over, Wang Liyu took the opportunity to reveal his real intention, “Wen Ruan, I can pick you up for tomorrow’s team-building event. I remember you live in the Oasis Garden Community; it’s not far from my place, conveniently on the way.” “Thanks for the offer, Director Wang, but it’s really not necessary; I have a car.” “Uh... okay,” Wang Liyu paused for a moment, then asked, “Do you have any specific snacks or drinks you’d like for tomorrow’s team-building? I could bring some for you to enjoy while watching the movie.” “No need, no need, I’m currently on a diet, avoiding snacks,” Wen Ruan saw he was still trying to make conversation and quickly interjected, “Oh, about the plan for Glimmer Coffee, I just thought of a new idea—got to go back and work on it, bye.” Having said that, she quickly left. As Wang Liyu watched Wen Ruan’s endlessly beautiful back, he pursed his lips, clenching his fist unwillingly. He truly liked Wen Ruan very much; she was voluptuous and sexy. He prided himself on his appearance and family background, convinced he was a match for Wen Ruan. Unfortunately, he couldn’t take a step further, no matter how he tried. This team-building event, he had also prepared some surprises for her, hoping to win her over.
