Chapter 67: Chapter 66: Embrace in the Evening Breeze Chapter 67: Chapter 66: Embrace in the Evening Breeze Due to the morning rush hour for work, the road was slightly congested. After locking the electric scooter downstairs at the office building, he checked the time, only 3 minutes left! “Minmin! We’re going to be late! Run!” Yao Lingling shouted and started sprinting. Li Shumin, dressed in a floral dress and high heels, turned pale, “Wait for me!” Yao Lingling turned back to wave at her and disappeared into the office building in the blink of an eye. Upon passing the security, the lobby was teeming with people, and every elevator entrance was packed. Shunyuan Building, constructed over a decade ago, didn’t differentiate between high and low zones for the elevators, and waiting times during peak hours were lengthy. Checking the time again, only 2 minutes left. [Hurry up, brother!] Yao Lingling stomped her feet anxiously. “Ding—” An elevator in the corner arrived. Yao Lingling quickly followed the crowd rushing there, but unfortunately, she still didn’t make it aboard. [My dazzling 200 yuan attendance bonus! Is it really going to slip away like this? No!] “Ding—” Another elevator arrived. Yao Lingling shielded her bag in front of her and, gritting her teeth, squeezed inside. As the doors slowly closed, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Checking the time, only the last 1 minute left! [Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up!] After several stops, it finally reached the 8th floor. She felt so anxious she wanted to go to the bathroom. Although the time on her phone was still 09:00, Yao Lingling knew she didn’t have much time left! She rushed through the company’s door with a tense face and pressed her index finger heavily on the fingerprint recognition area. “Beep! Clock-in successful.” She checked the time on the clocking device, 09:01. Yao Lingling nervously rubbed her hands, feeling a bit conflicted. Was it exactly at 9 o’clock, or was it at 9:01? The number was small, but it was worth two hundred! She returned to her workstation, heavy with worry. “Plop—” A few A4 papers landed on her desk. Designer Liang Jiani frowned and said, “Yao Lingling, didn’t I tell you? The pocket flap on the chest should be made of Material A! The sleeve cuffs should be elastic, shrunk by 5 cm!” Yao Lingling quickly stood up, whispering, “Sister Liang, the latest version you gave me didn’t specify it—I thought it was the same as the previous version.” “Can’t you ask if you have a mouth?” Liang Jiani gritted her teeth and sternly said, “Redraw the blueprint for me, detailed diagrams, process explanations, and materials—the more detailed, the better. Don’t make such beginner mistakes with the next sample!” “Okay, Sister Liang.” As she watched the designer leave, Yao Lingling’s face immediately fell. [What the heck! Whenever there’s a problem, they always blame me, the assistant. It’s clearly the pattern maker’s work that you weren’t satisfied with!] After tidying up her desk, she headed to the restroom. Pulled out her phone and began her routine paid bathroom break. “Hmm? A new friend request? Tang Song?” Yao Lingling muttered and clicked to view. Goodness, April! You’ve finally shown yourself! She clicked to accept and left a message, “Little brother, hurry up and update your notes, waiting for your makeover.” “Ding Dong—” [Tang Song: “Thanks for the support, I’ve just updated on Little Red Book, feel free to make some suggestions.”] Yao Lingling’s eyes lit up, she quickly opened the Little Red Book app and found ‘April’ from her follow list. Sure enough, updated! Wallet is safe! Seeing the before-and-after transformation photos in the notes, Yao Lingling blinked. Is that his face showing? It seems... quite good! She had discussed with others in April’s comment section before; they all thought he was probably embarrassed about his appearance, hence wore the mask. She clicked to view more details and enlarged the photo to take a better look. This transformation is just too huge, isn’t it? On the left is: that man; on the right is: this handsome guy. Beyond a fetching face, he also has a well-proportioned and erect figure, brimming with vitality. Especially when he smiles, he actually looks quite appealing! Although not exactly a top-tier hunk, he’s definitely someone who could get approached proactively in real life. Seeing the fruits of her grooming game, Yao Lingling instantly beamed with joy. After admiring for a good while, she began to check the main text. “Corporate goddess? Wealthy and beautiful? Dates? Let me count... this is the third one, right? Goodness, I thought you were just a naïve puppy, but you turned out to be a battle wolf!” She opened the comment section to take a look. [Moonlit Night Whispers: “April~, you have gradually become an unattainable vision for me.”] [Next Station Paradise: “You look way better than expected!”] [momo: “This is the most successful makeover I’ve directly overseen and the one with the highest execution.”] [blank bubble: “Just my type! Just my type! I’ve nurtured this electronic pet for so long, and finally succeeded! So satisfying!”] Everyone was praising his makeover results and attractiveness; few had any criticisms. Yao Lingling shifted her body and adjusted her sitting position. She typed a comment: “The makeover was very successful! If you want to perform even better on your dates, you might consider some simple makeup. The steps are as follows: Step one...” ... 30th floor, Cloud Stream Building, Songmei Clothing. “Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?” Tang Song asked in surprise. Gao Mengting opened her mouth, glanced at her notebook, then back at Tang Song. After a long silence, she spoke, “This ‘Project Feasibility Report’ makes me feel inferior. Your analysis of the target market is very detailed, especially the operational strategies, financial management, and team building at the company’s startup phase—it’s simply a perfect score.” Gao Mengting took a deep breath, her eyes filled with respect as she looked at him, “As long as we follow this plan step by step, we will soon be able to stand firm, grow, and strengthen. President Tang, I admit I underestimated you.” Tang Song’s face turned slightly red, “As long as you think it’s fine.” They spent the entire next day organizing recruitment information for the initial team and sequentially posted it on various job sites. They also started selecting the first batch of merchandise for sale from Gao Mengting’s inventory list. 7 PM. The two took the elevator down to the B2 parking lot. Tang Song took out the Wuling Hongguang car keys from his pocket and shook them, “Here.” “Thank you.” Gao Mengting, understanding tacitly, reached out and caught them steadily. They got into the car and fastened their seat belts. Tang Song set the GPS, then laughed, “Take me home first. This car will be like a bus from now on. The trunk is so spacious, it’ll come in handy when we need to transport clothes from the warehouse.” “This...” Gao Mengting hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Okay! Then I won’t be coy with you.” “Let’s go.” The car left the underground garage and joined the congested city traffic. Tang Song leaned back comfortably in the seat, quietly admiring his partner seated in the driver’s position. Her outfit today slightly resembled Xue’s from yesterday. A fitted women’s suit, white V-neck underlayer, and a gray pencil skirt. She looked elegantly efficient and very beautiful. Noticing his gaze, Gao Mengting twisted her hips unnaturally and subconsciously straightened up. Taking advantage of the red light, she opened the car’s music player. The rhythm-filled song started playing, soothing her mood as well. The night before the May Day holiday in Yan City was exceptionally congested. Stop and go, it took over half an hour to reach their destination. Gao Mengting faced the brisk evening wind and surveyed the residential complex. It was not quite what she had imagined, not seeming to be a high-end complex. Tang Song stood beside her, inviting, “Would you like to come up for a bit?” “No, I need to go back to organize the inventory list and check if anyone has submitted a resume.” Gao Mengting smiled, turned around, and hugged the Wuling Hongguang, “Thanks. It’s great to be able to drive it home again.” Tang Song jokingly said, “How about hugging me too? That would show more sincerity.” As the evening breeze lifted her hair, Gao Mengting pressed her lips together and smiled, “Sure, partner.” With that, she stepped forward and gently wrapped her arms around him. Tang Song’s body shivered, feeling the soft warmth and catching a light scent mixed with the fragrance of her shampoo.
