Jing leisurely got out of the car.
Her blush-stained cheeks looked especially lovely in the glow of the setting sun.
Licking her lips, she gently rubbed her legs together.
Jing felt a lingering fear.
Just now in the car, with the window down, watching car after car, pair after pair of eyes glide by, she found it too exhilarating to speak.
She almost spilled everything.
But even though she managed to hold it together, saliva still involuntarily seeped out.
Luckily she had the foresight to prepare 5 layers of Xinxinrou tissues before getting off work, which she had folded and tucked beneath her, ready to wipe her mouth at any moment.
However, even so, it was still not quite enough, and she would need to change it later.
“Let’s go, Jing,” Tang Song approached and took her hand, casting a peculiar glance at her pale legs.
He seemed to have discovered her little secret.
“Mhm,” Jing nodded obediently, her twin ponytails bobbing cutely.
They entered the main building of Flavor Pavilion.
Soft music drifted through the restaurant.
A familiar environment came into view, and Tang Song thought of Lin Muxue again.
It was here that he first saw her.
Eating with two elegantly dressed girls, talking about Louis Vuitton, Bvlgari, and occasionally discussing five-star hotel decor and services.
At the time, he thought she was a real goddess of wealth and beauty.
However, the dishes and service at this restaurant were indeed fantastic.
Conveniently located next to Lu Ziming’s company, he had chosen this place for the gathering.
The two of them sat down at a table further inside.
The handsome waiter handed over the menu, and he couldn’t help but take an extra look at Jing, who had skin white as snow.
One’s looks could cover a thousand flaws, let alone when she was so pretty and sweet, and especially dazzling.
Jing clung to Tang Song, flipping through the menu with him and ordered a few dishes she liked.
Then, she pinched Tang Song’s hand and said with a blushing face, “I’m going to the restroom.”
The two of them waited for about ten minutes before Lu Ziming hurried over.
With him was his sister, Lu Ziyue.
Tang Song had met her a few times back in college.
In her early thirties, she dressed maturely and glamorously, with a somewhat masculine beauty, and walked briskly with efficiency and speed.
“Ziming, Sister Ziyue,” Tang Song greeted them with a smile.
“Tang Song, I think this is our first formal meeting,” Lu Ziyue said with a smile, “Shuyu has praised you a lot in front of me; you’ve really made me proud!”
“Thank you, Sister Ziyue, for helping me find a part-time job back then.”
Jing also politely greeted, “Brother Ziming, Sister Ziyue, good evening.”
“Hello, Jing, I’m Lu Ziyue,” Lu Ziyue reached out her hand warmly, her gaze intense.
After some pleasantries, they took their seats.
Lu Ziyue looked at the two in front of her with surprise sparkling in her eyes.
They really were a golden boy and jade girl, a perfect match!
She had some impression of Tang Song, her brother’s roommate. He had rented their family’s property, and his relationship with her brother was also good.
He had worked in a large internet company in Imperial City and was a tech guru.
So when she was helping Shuyu find part-time work, she had recommended him first.
She hadn’t expected his looks and aura to be so impressive now.
Next, her attention turned to Tian Jing, enthusiastically praising her beauty.
The only daughter of the executive director of Zhongcheng Group, Tian Chengye! The kind of important person one rarely gets to meet!
Her own mother was a minor leader in a non-essential department within the system, and her father was a manager at a branch company.
Perhaps to most people, families like hers were quite impressive.
But compared with someone like Jing, they were still far behind.
Though she had gotten into a large corporation like Zhongcheng Group through connections, climbing higher would become increasingly difficult.
Especially since she was a 31-year-old married woman without children.
Even if a leader wanted to promote you, they would worry about pregnancy affecting work.
This was her current greatest anxiety.
So knowing that her brother crossed paths with Chairman Tian’s daughter, one could imagine how she felt.
As long as she could build a good relationship, even if it was just going out for a meal or posting a photo occasionally, the senior leaders in her company would take her seriously.
Her career path would become much smoother.
Soon, dish after dish was served.
Swan puff pastries, snowflake Wagyu beef tower, braised pork belly with abalone, braised fish maw with dried orange peel…
Tang Song invited everyone to start enjoying the dishes.
“Mmm, this freshly baked snowflake Wagyu is so delicious, salty sweet and fragrant, melting in the mouth…”
“This one is also good, the slowly simmered fish maw is rich in layers and refreshingly crisp. Tang Song, Jing, try some…”
“My little brother, he has always been peculiar, but I never thought he’d get into finance now, haha.”
Lu Ziyue, as a sales manager, was witty and humorous, yet her words came across as exceedingly sincere and inspiring, adept at easing the mood.
The group chatted about their respective jobs and lives, and the table was filled with cheerful laughter and conversation.
Before long, Lu Ziyue’s WeChat had two new friends.
At the same moment, a clear system notification sound rang in her ear.
“Ding! Congratulations to the player, the branch task [Social Life] is now complete.”
“Ding! You’ve received [Comprehension +1].”
“Ding! You’ve obtained a special item [Tang Song’s Glasses].”
Tang Song’s expression brightened, and his smile grew even more radiant.
This task had been triggered for half a month by now, previously attending events like “Bankers’ Private Meet” and “Team Building with Colleagues” had pushed the progress to 90%.
Now that he had met Lu Ziyue, he had finally completed the remaining piece of the puzzle.
Both rewards were truly impressive, especially an item named after him, which filled him with anticipation.
