Chapter 163: Chapter 152: A Dream_2 Chapter 163: Chapter 152: A Dream_2 However, at that time, he was not within her social circle. His understanding of Shen Yuyan was mostly through others’ descriptions, as well as the two brief encounters at Lu Ziming’s birthday banquet. “Yeah, Yanyan has been in business for almost two years. As for the project, you definitely can’t imagine—it’s home services,” Xu Qing couldn’t help but marvel, “At first I thought she was joking, but she actually went ahead and did it. Now she’s in talks for financing, planning to expand the business throughout the province.” “Home services?” Tang Song raised his eyebrows in surprise. Xu Qing nodded and began to recount. After graduating from university, relying on her exceptional personal skills and the recommendation of an alumnus, Shen Yuyan got a job as an HR at a well-known foreign enterprise. Later, when she heard that her university classmate Zhang Tianqi was preparing to start a business, she learned about his plan in detail and decisively quit her job to join him. Zhang Tianqi’s uncle was a senior executive at a large property management company, and their home services company initially relied on this property company’s promotion and cooperation to acquire their first batch of customers, gradually stabilizing the business. Next, they found a wealthy alumnus, Hou Shaoyuan, to invest in the seed round, slowly expanding the scale. The current model is to acquire customers through online promotion and then provide services both own-operated and through intermediation at the offline level. Shen Yuyan’s main responsibility is online operations, often filming various deep cleaning videos and has quite a few followers on platforms like TikTok and Little Red Book. After briefly discussing Shen Yuyan’s entrepreneurial experience, Xu Qing suddenly laughed and said, “By the way, there are quite a few alumni in this company, including Wang Ning from our major, who now heads the company’s tech department.” Tang Song was slightly startled upon hearing this familiar name. Wang Ning was the class leader during his university days, with decent professional skills, but was particularly slick, and had an air of bureaucracy about him despite his young age, speaking and acting with airs. Back in university, Tang Song was introverted, not sociable, and focused on his studies, not taking this class leader very seriously. The relationship between the two was quite average, and Wang Ning often made pointed remarks about him. The dishes began to arrive one by one, and Xu Qing’s eyes sparkled as she looked at the beautiful courses. She had only eaten a light meal at lunch and was now famished. After exchanging pleasantries with Tang Song for a bit, she couldn’t wait to dig in, eating excitedly with her legs bouncing, occasionally curving her eyebrows and eyes while describing the taste of a dish to Tang Song. The facade of a novel’s heroine completely dissipated from her. Watching the lively and adorable Xu Qing before him, Tang Song’s mind once again conjured up the image of her from their university days, gradually merging the two figures together. University was a time of raging hormones, and in that environment, the subject most discussed in the dormitory every day was the pretty female classmates. Xu Qing, although not as strikingly eye-catching as Shen Yuyan, was popular for her good personality and love for cosplay. Plus, with both of them often seen together, one could imagine the temptation they presented to the male classmates. Although the Tang Song of that time longed for his first love, occasionally he would have some unrealistic fantasies. ... Outside the gates of North City Garden Community. Xu Qing, holding her purse, opened the car door and waved: “Thanks for the feast and the gift today, I had a great time, bye, drive safely on your way.” In the span of one meal, the relationship between the two had quickly grown more familiar, and Xu Qing acted much more naturally. Tang Song looked at her pretty face and suddenly said, “Xu Qing, if you have any more nice cosplay photos next time, can you send me a copy? The set from last time was really pretty.” Hearing that, Xu Qing’s body swayed, and her cheeks instantly flushed red. Damn it! I dressed up so cool today, and you’re still not over those borderline photos! “Bye~” Tang Song waved at her and drove off quickly. Xu Qing forcefully waved her fist toward the direction he left in, her face flushed with embarrassment as she turned to enter the community gate. As she approached the building entrance, she saw two familiar figures downstairs. She hastened her pace and embraced her best friend, chuckling, “Yanyan, what a coincidence, we arrived together.” Then she turned to Hou Shaoyuan opposite her and said, “Good evening, President Hou. Are you two out shopping on a date again? Let me see what you bought.” As she spoke, she reached out to snatch the shopping bag from her friend’s hand. Shen Yuyan swatted away her playful hand, saying without amusement, “Don’t get it dirty, this is for the meeting I’m attending tomorrow.” “Alright,” Xu Qing pouted but knew the importance of caution and didn’t move about carelessly. Shen Yuyan smiled towards Hou Shaoyuan, “Shaoyuan, then Qingqing and I will go up first. Drive safely on your way back.” Hou Shaoyuan watched them, chuckling and waving his hand, “I look forward to your brilliant performance tomorrow. Just do your best, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t reach any agreements.” “Okay then, bye-bye.” “Bye-bye.” Watching the school beauty, full of pure desire, and her beautiful best friend leave, Hou Shaoyuan pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out and lit it. He took a deep breath and exhaled a long ring of smoke. The roadshow this time didn’t involve many companies, and there were only three investment firms, which weren’t very interested in their domestic service company. Even though they passed the preliminary selection through Lu Ziming’s connections, the hope was still slim. But this was also good. If they failed a few times, he could take the opportunity to propose taking Shen Yuyan to see his father for financing. Of course, for a higher success rate, it’s best to go as her boyfriend. ... Back in the rented apartment. After fooling around with her best friend for a bit, Xu Qing quickly washed up and changed into comfortable pajamas. Excited, she sat at the desk and turned on the computer. The “tap tap tap” of typing resounded incessantly as lines of text appeared on the screen. —————— He stood quietly at the bottom of the building in the twilight glow, his gaze towards Xu Yanqing filled with unsaid words. They just stood there silently, as if time had frozen at that moment. ... Outside, the wind raced and the car was quiet and cozy. Xu Yanqing turned to look at Tang Song, who was driving. His side profile seemed meticulously sculpted, exuding exceptional handsomeness. His high and elegant nose stood proudly on his face like a mountain peak, and the slight turn added a touch of mystery to him. ... —————— Inspired by the memories of the day, Xu Qing wrote with divine inspiration. She completed her task in just two hours. Clicking publish, she instantly relaxed. Lying on the bed, she propped up her calves, taking out her beloved Chanel bracelet to admire time and again. She then talked to herself for a good while. Drowsiness overcame her and she fell into a deep sleep before she knew it. That night, she had a long dream. The tender and passionate second male lead had deep feelings for her, swearing to marry no one but her. After enduring numerous hardships, under the Northern Lights, he knelt on one knee and confessed his love to her with tears streaming down his face. In an instant. The sky turned pink, heart-shaped bubbles floated in the air, and roses covered the ground, enveloping them. The stars turned into shooting stars that streaked across the night, and the moon descended beside them, emitting a soft glow. Just at that time, the cold and domineering CEO came charging over in a bulldozer...
