Chapter 57: Chapter 56: The Lost Heartbeat Chapter 57: Chapter 56: The Lost Heartbeat While waiting for the elevator. Hu Mingli looked at Tang Song and clicked her tongue in admiration, “You’ve really transformed this past month, completely undergone a makeover, a total hunk indeed.” She nudged Zhao Yue with her shoulder, giving her sly winks and said, “Speaking of which, Tang Song started to work hard to lose weight because of the advice you gave him earlier, right? Feels quite accomplished, doesn’t it?” Zhao Yue was stunned for a moment, remembering the words she had said in the car on the night after the team-building event on April 1st. “Brother Song, you are actually quite excellent, capable, with good-looking features and a tall stature; it’s just that you’re a bit overweight. Hurry up and slim down, tone up. Our company’s young ladies will definitely be eager to chase after you!” It seemed he really started to diet, dress up, and style his hair from that day on. Now that he had lost weight and his skin had also improved, he already stood out in terms of appearance. The only problem was his poor family background, and he was currently unemployed. She smiled and said, “Super accomplished! Brother Song is so outstanding, when you get to the new company, those young ladies will definitely be eager to chase after you. Keep it up! Get out of singlehood as soon as possible!” Guo Peng also chimed in, “With your abilities, getting a job will be a piece of cake; maybe the next job you’ll land will be in a leadership position.” All of them were saying nice things, intentionally or unintentionally, as if they were trying to comfort Tang Song. They joked and laughed for a while, and the atmosphere became a lot more relaxed. Since it was the peak of quitting time, it took several elevator rides before they could squeeze in. Finally, after many stops and starts, they arrived at the B2 parking garage. Stepping out of the elevator, they were immediately greeted by the sight of an ice berry pink Audi A5. A two-door coupe, the body sleek and dynamic, it looked very beautiful. Guo Peng couldn’t help but sigh, “Supervisor Tian really has the means, a 400,000-plus A5, and such a good parking spot too.” “So that’s Supervisor Tian’s car? It’s really nice-looking. I heard she lives in the YJHT Community, in a large flat,” Wang Chaoyang said with thick envy and admiration in his eyes. Having become the remuneration supervisor while still young, and a textbook example of a rich and beautiful woman, catching her would mean skipping 20 years of struggle. Zhao Yue bit her lip, sourly saying, “It’s just because she got lucky with her birth, we can’t compare.” Yet, in her heart, she was secretly thinking that in the future, she must find a boyfriend with a luxury car to win back this pride! The group followed Tang Song through the basement parking lot. Guo Peng and Wang Chaoyang, both car enthusiasts, nodded and commented on the cars they passed from time to time. “That Cadillac CT5 over there belongs to President Zhou; he says the steering keeps pulling towards the bathhouse.” “A Mercedes-Benz E that stands out really looks classy.” ... “That BMW over there is not bad either; pure black looks so powerful, it must be new, the paint so shiny.” “A man’s life isn’t complete without a 3 Series, when I make it one day, I’ll definitely buy one.” Seeing Tang Song suddenly stop, Hu Mingli asked curiously, “Where did you park your car? Why haven’t we seen it?” She had seen a photo of Tang Song’s car in the chat group; it was very uniquely designed and should be quite conspicuous in the Linjin Building’s parking lot. But it was nowhere to be seen around them. Guo Peng looked around and didn’t see the familiar Wuling Hongguang either. Tang Song smiled and pointed to the black BMW in front of them, “It’s this one, just picked it up, you know, Mingli, you were the first passenger.” Hu Mingli blinked and said with a smile, “Well, that truly is an honor for me. If you’re able, why not let me really get in.” Guo Peng teased with a chuckle, “Sure thing, Tang Song, didn’t expect you to be a hidden rich second-generation! Your resignation wouldn’t happen to be for taking over the family business, would it?” Zhao Yue looked longingly at the shiny black BMW and remarked, “That car is really beautiful; it seems to look a bit different than the regular 3 Series.” Wang Chaoyang explained, “Judging by the body kit and rims, it should be the 330i M Sport Shadow Edition; with the optional features, it would cost over 400,000 yuan, about the same as Supervisor Tian’s A5 and way more expensive than the average 3 Series BMW.” Hearing this, Zhao Yue’s eyes grew even brighter, and she couldn’t help but reach out to touch the emblem on the hood. She imagined herself opening the car door, holding a designer handbag, and stepping out of the vehicle. If she had such a car, she’d certainly steal the spotlight from Tian Jing at the company. With this thought, Zhao Yue felt even more determined in her heart. When it came to finding a boyfriend, she absolutely couldn’t shortchange herself. Tang Song took the back support from Wang Chaoyang’s hand, walked over to the car, and said, “It’s indeed the 330i Shadow Edition, got it through an internal discount; cost under 400,000 yuan with everything.” As he spoke, he placed his hand on the rear door handle. “Click,” the car unlocked, and LED position lights blinked. He pulled open the door and stuffed the backpack and back support inside. “Thud!” He casually closed the car door and waved to Hu Mingli, “Mingli, are you going to sit in the back or the passenger seat?” Hu Mingli opened her mouth in astonishment, “No way, Tang Song, are you for real!?” Wang Chaoyang swallowed hard, saying in disbelief, “Damn! Is this really your car?” Guo Peng was a bit slow to react, since he had accompanied Tang Song to book the Wuling Hongguang S; how did it suddenly turn into a BMW 330? Petting the car roof, Tang Song smiled and said, “Genuine as can be, just picked it up yesterday, carbon black + volcanic red, looks cool, right!” Young men in their twenties somewhat love to show off. Tang Song hadn’t planned to deliberately flaunt in front of his old colleagues, but seeing their shocked and envious expressions, he felt pretty good inside. “Let’s get going; I had a low-fat meal for lunch and am starving now. Today’s buffet will be my indulgence meal.” Hu Mingli took a deep breath, opened the passenger door, and got in. “Nice one, Song, you’ve kept things really under wraps,” Guo Peng rubbed his hands together excitedly, “I won’t drive my car today; I’ll catch a ride in your BMW.” After saying that, he squeezed into the back seat and started to explore and admire the details. Zhao Yue dumbly looked at the car, then back at Tang Song, her gaze growing somewhat vacant. The black body of the car sat low, coiled as if a graceful beast in the dimly lit garage. Sleek lines created a fashionable and dynamic silhouette, with the high-quality paint reflecting streaks of light. Standing beside the car, Tang Song had a straight posture and a relaxed, elegant demeanor, emanating an air of ease and ambiance. She had always thought he was pretending to be strong to cover up the sadness of being laid off, but it turned out he truly had confidence. Brother Song, a BMW worth 400,000 yuan, a concealed rich and handsome man. Linking these three keywords, Zhao Yue’s heart began to beat violently. “Chaoyang, Zhao Yue, you guys go ahead with your work. I’ll come by the office to hang out when I’m free,” Tang Song waved to the two colleagues, then opened the car door and got in. “Rumble—” The engine roared to life, the bright lights instantly turned on, startling Zhao Yue out of her daze. She quickly moved aside to stand clear. “Squeak—” The sound of tires rubbing against the ground filled the air. Tang Song lowered the car window and waved goodbye to the two old colleagues. His fingers were slender and fair, appearing particularly pale and beautiful under the dim lights of the garage, filled with a unique charm. Zhao Yue felt as though her heartbeat had skipped several beats. She took a few steps forward and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but the car had already disappeared around the corner.
