Chapter 60: Chapter 59 About to Take Off Chapter 60: Chapter 59 About to Take Off April 26, 2023, Wednesday, sunny turning to cloudy, 11~20°C. After seriously completing his skin care routine, Tang Song stood in the bathroom meticulously examining his face. With the “Attractive Man Halo (LV2)” blessing him, his dark circles had completely vanished, and his puffy eye bags had become barely noticeable. The acne scars on his face were very faint and could be perfectly concealed with a layer of moisturizer. The closed comedones on his chin had almost disappeared with Zhao Yaqian’s help. His skin tone had improved to some extent, but still looked a bit dull. All things considered, among the men he had met, his skin was already not bad. Coupled with his good facial features, a well-proportioned body, and a height of 182 cm, he had basically returned to his second-year college level of attractiveness. If he dressed properly and applied some concealer to his face, he would definitely be considered highly attractive, capable of turning heads on the street. Nice! Tang Song took out his phone, took a real selfie, and shared it with Zhao Yaqian. He left a message, “I feel my skin is in a very good state right now, Qianqian, do you see anything that needs adjusting?” It was 9 a.m. now, and Zhao Yaqian was likely on her way to work, scrolling through her phone, so she replied very quickly. [Zhao Yaqian: “You’ve made great progress! Keep it up! I think the biggest issue now is your large pores. If you can resolve that, your skin’s appearance could go up a notch.”] Tang Song, “Then what should I do about it?” [Zhao Yaqian: “Regular cleaning and exfoliation to open up the pores to absorb more moisture and nutrients. I’ve done this step when helping you with treatments, so don’t worry.”] [Zhao Yaqian: “For you, what you need to do is pay attention to sun protection and use some skincare products and tips to reduce pore size. I’ll summarize them and share with you later.”] Tang Song, “Okay, thank you.” [Zhao Yaqian: “Brother Song, no need to be polite with me. If you need anything, just ask me. (#Smiling face)”] Seeing this message, Tang Song smiled and replied, “How about you share a selfie? Let me see Teacher Zhao’s skin condition and today’s outfit.” After a while, Zhao Yaqian finally sent a photo. It must have been fresh out of the oven, sitting on the bus, with quite a few people standing around. The sunlight streaming in from the side window enveloped her, highlighting her bright and beautiful features, with her hair loose and flowing, her skin fair and radiant, and her collarbones delicate and smooth. She looked warm and bright overall. Even though he couldn’t see her signature “champagne glass legs,” Tang Song was quite satisfied and felt his mood lift even more. This beautician friend of his was quite nice to him, very candid in all aspects except not wanting to further their relationship romantically. After chatting with her for a while, Tang Song put down his phone. He sat in front of his computer and continued organizing documents for his startup project. With the company about to be established, it was time for the “Project Feasibility Report” to play its role. ... Linjin Building, Jinxiu Commerce Co., Ltd. Hu Mingli glanced at the empty seat next to her and couldn’t help but shake her head and chuckle. Zhao Yue had indeed taken the day off, proving that the photo from last night had a strong aftereffect; she must have stayed awake until dawn. Working in the same department and living nearby, Hu Mingli knew Zhao Yue very well. She wasn’t bad, just a bit of a green tea personality and self-serving. Right now, she must be deeply regretting and figuring out how to redeem her image in Tang Song’s eyes. Tang Song was the biggest catch in the “fish pond,” and she had failed to seize her chance with him. It was too bad for her that regrets were useless now, as Wen Ruan had already made her move. Those two, in terms of character, appearance, capabilities, and physique, were not on the same level. Thinking about it, Hu Mingli opened WeChat and sent a message in the girlfriends’ group: “@Zhuangzhuang, how’s it going with Tang Song? Any progress?” [Wen Ruan: “Last night we just talked about fitness. It was just getting to know each other a bit. He’s quite nice, at least he didn’t say anything sleazy.”] [Hu Mingli: “He really is a good guy. When you have time, you should ask him out to meet up. As his sister, you should take the initiative. Based on my observations, he hasn’t been in a relationship yet.”] [Zhang Ziqi: “@Zhuangzhuang, wow! A pure 25-year-old guy who drives a BMW 330, with such an outstanding demeanor, should be very much in line with your ideal partner criteria. Why not go for it?”] [Wen Ruan: “Let’s talk a bit more first, mainly to see if we click, and to find some common interests.”] ... After chatting a bit more in the group, Hu Mingli’s eyes flickered, and she took a screenshot of the chat and shared it with Tang Song. The message read: “Not bad for a start. Go for it, Song! Put some heart into it. I’m rooting for you!” A few minutes passed. “Buzz buzz buzz—” The phone vibrated. [Tang Song: “Mingli, I’ve ordered you a fresh fruit cup, a cappuccino, and an 8-inch durian mille-crepe cake. Remember to pick them up later.”] Hu Mingli snorted with laughter, giving Tang Song a mental thumbs-up. Now that’s more like it, treating me so well. In the future, I could consider giving him more insider screenshots to help speed up his courtship. “Buzz buzz buzz—” The phone vibrated again. [Tang Song: “I just bought you a set of SK-II skincare from JD.com, it’ll be shipped directly to the office. Thanks for setting me up, Mingli.”] My goodness! Hu Mingli couldn’t help but exclaim internally. Taking a deep breath, she began to type a reply: “On sunny days, Wen Ruan usually bikes to and from work. She starts from the south gate of the Oasis Garden Community, along... Her favorite songs include... She has a yearly membership at Rhythm Fitness (Huayun Center branch)...”] Just after sending the message, Hu Mingli’s ears twitched. She hastily put away her phone and sat up straight. “Tap tap tap—” “Pat pat pat—” The sound of brisk footsteps came from the reception area, getting closer to the office. All the employees stopped their work and looked toward the sound. In the corridor, a group of over ten well-dressed men and women approached. Chairman Ren Huining, President Feng Zhongping, Vice President Li Zhongguo, and others were among them. The rest were seven or eight fresh faces, walking at ease, with dignified postures, and meticulously combed hair. They were chatting in low voices as they walked and gradually disappeared around the corner of the corridor, entering the company’s T1 conference room. Subsequently, the office area was filled with hushed discussion. “Those must be the representatives from the investment institution introduced to our company, right? They look so serious!” “A notice just went out in the group! All meeting rooms are closed for use today!” “What exactly is going on? Shaokai, do you have any specifics?” In the tech support department, all eyes were on Du Shaokai. Everyone was well aware of his connections within the company. Otherwise, with his showy and boastful nature, how could he get along so comfortably here? Du Shaokai spoke in a hushed voice: “A shareholders’ meeting is being called today to appoint two new board members. Both are delegates from this investment company. The company is really heading for a change!” “Do you know which company it is?” Du Shaokai spoke mysteriously: “You’ll find out after the May Day holiday. Just wait and see, our company is about to take off.”
