Chapter 680 Night in Chengdu
At dusk, the twilight is getting darker.
The lights in the cafe are dimmed softly and brightly, and the air is filled with the warm scent of roasted coffee beans and wooden tables and chairs.
The afterglow shines obliquely outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The office buildings in Chengdu CBD are lighting up with neon lights one after another, like stars awakened by the night.
Looking at each other.
Xie Shuyu looked at Tang Song standing there and felt slightly comfortable.
They probably haven’t seen each other for more than half a month.
She felt keenly that the Tang and Song Dynasties in front of her seemed to be a little different again.
The aura is calmer, the eyes are firmer, and there is even an indescribable sense of strangeness.
But this change also makes him look more attractive.
"Sister Shuyu." Tang Song walked out of the booth and took the initiative to greet her.
A gentle smile appeared on Xie Shuyu's dignified face, and he apologized: "I'm sorry, Tang Song, for keeping you waiting. I just went to the bathroom and didn't bring my phone with me. "
"It doesn't matter." Tang Song smiled, pointed at Meng Ran opposite, and said in a relaxed and natural tone: "I had a very happy chat with Meng Ran."
I heard this polite saying from Tang and Song Dynasty.
The corners of Meng Ran’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch, and he rolled his eyes crazily in his heart.
【Little brother, I am not happy at all! 】
In just ten minutes, this man started from Hema’s online and offline integrated operation model, talked about the underlying logic of community group buying, then jumped to the reconstruction of the supply chain of new retail, and even finally talked about the media strategic transformation of "China Business News" this year!
Rigorous thinking, outstanding eloquence, and broad knowledge.
Coupled with the strong aura of the other party when they first met.—
It made her look like a nervous candidate being interviewed by a big boss.
Her heart is still beating "quickly" now.
She is in her early thirties, and she is under a lot of pressure in a large factory like Ali, which is extremely involved.
From time to time, there are outstanding peers around me who are "graduated" for various reasons.
She really has a physiological fear like PTSD about leaving her job, changing jobs, and interviewing.
This is why, even if she is in the position of a promising executive of a large factory, she will still hesitate and consider Xie Shuyu's CO
0 invitation.
But one thing to say, my best friend’s boyfriend is really impeccable.
Among all the men she has come into contact with, she has never seen anyone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Tang and Song in terms of overall quality and personal charm.
Xie Shuyu looked at the slightly stiff expression of her best friend, smiled and joked: "Then what do you think of our future C00?"
Meng Ran's heart skipped a beat, and he became nervous inexplicably.
Like a candidate waiting to be evaluated by the final boss.
Tang Song’s eyes stayed on Meng Ran for a moment, and then he showed a meaningful smile.
"Mr. Meng is indeed very powerful. Just a few words can make a layman like me listen with gusto. I almost couldn't help but want to take out a notebook to take notes."
Meng Ran was stunned for a moment, and then he hurriedly said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Don't No, please stop making fun of me. Xiaoyu, your boyfriend is really awesome. Now I understand why he can win over you." Xie Shuyu pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes flickering between Tang Song and Meng Ran.
She knew Meng Ran’s character very well, and it was a heartfelt approval for her to say such half-joking and half-sincere words.
And this kind of recognition made her feel a sense of indescribable pride and sweetness in her heart.
At this moment.
Tang Song beside her suddenly raised his hand and naturally put his arm around her waist.
Immediately, he kissed her fair and smooth side face, "Sister Shuyu, do you miss me? You saw me running thousands of miles to Chengdu and you didn't know how to say something nice?"
Xie Shuyu's body stiffened.
Trying to stay calm, she touched him lightly with her shoulder and lowered her voice to remind him: "Pay attention to the occasion."
Now in Shimmer Coffee, the store manager and employees around him were watching.
As a boss, she naturally has to remain reserved and serious.
However, before he finished speaking, Tang Song lowered his head again and kissed her red and soft lips.
The movements were neither urgent nor slow, but with a determination that could not be refused.
The dignified and bright face of the female president gradually turned red, and her breathing was a little short.
But she did not avoid it anymore, she just pursed her lips lightly.
Meng Ran, who was on the opposite side, was suddenly stuffed with a mouthful of dog food and was so sore.
He complained softly: "Okay, okay, you two just pretend I don't exist."
Xie Shuyu ignored her best friend, licked her moist lips, and tried to maintain a calm tone: "I have finished my work here. Let's go. If we are a little later, we will catch the evening rush hour. Tang Song, where is your luggage?"
"Don't worry, let's go there first. I'll have someone deliver it directly to you later."
"Well, okay, let's go Ranran."
The three of them walked out of the coffee shop and got into Meng Ran's black Audi A6L.
Tang Song and Xie Shuyu naturally sat in the back row.
The car drove smoothly out of the Yintai Center’s underground parking lot and merged into the crowded traffic.
Head towards East Street.
In order to cover up the tension caused by the upcoming "living together".
Perhaps in order to cover up the nervousness arising from the upcoming "living together", Xie Shuyu quickly switched to "work mode".
He calmly talked to Tang Song about the expansion plan of [Shimmer Coffee] and the recent difficulties encountered in the supply chain.
Of course, she deliberately avoided questions related to the "Zhongshu Group".
After all, it is too involved and is not suitable to start here and now.
Tang and Song listened quietly, only occasionally saying "hmm" and nodding in agreement.
The car stopped and stopped, and the atmosphere seemed quiet and warm.
I don’t know when, Tang Song’s hand fell on her thigh wrapped in flesh-colored stockings.
Xie Shuyu’s narrating voice paused suddenly, and his slender body tensed instantly.
Through the silk stockings, the delicate touch and the vague pressure made her breath a little short and her whole body felt weak.
She clapped his hand quickly and signaled to him with her eyes: "There are people in front of you! Don't mess around!"
Tang Song was unmoved and still caressed the female CEO's beautiful legs with a calm expression.
Xie Shuyu has standard "supermodel legs", with smooth and tight lines and no excess fat.
You can clearly feel the delicate smoothness of her skin and the touching elasticity of her muscles.
Very comfortable.
See him like this.
Xie Shuyu had no choice but to fold his legs to block Tang Song's small movements.
Feeling the submission of the female CEO and breathing in her unique aura.
Tang Song’s fingertips tightened slightly.
Xie Shuyu let out a low "Hmm", her long legs tightened reflexively, and a numb electric current coursed through her body.
Yan Qing quickly glanced at Meng Ran's back and lowered her voice: "Xiao Song, don't make trouble."
Her tone was cold on the surface, but she couldn't hide the slight trembling in her voice.
Still maintaining the dignity and calmness that a female CEO should have, with her back straight and her eyes looking straight ahead.
But she didn’t really resist him. She just gently brought her legs together and trapped his hand in the warm gap with her movements.
Reservation and indulgence are wonderfully intertwined at this moment.
Tang Song took a deep breath, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
Even today, every time he faces Xie Shuyu, he still has a sense of "climbing upwards" to conquer.
Perhaps it was because, at his most confused and lowest moment, he happened to meet this female CEO who was as dazzling as a goddess in her prime.
She was the first person he fell in love with after leaving the imperial capital and letting go of his past, Bai Yueguang.
The throb and low self-esteem I felt at that time are still indelible to this day.
At this moment, the two of them were sitting side by side in the car.
The more reserved and dignified she was, the more he wanted to tear apart this layer of restraint.
The traffic gradually became denser and the sky gradually darkened.
The night in Chengdu is leisurely and energetic.
The light outside the car window was stretched into bright and blurred spots, which reflected on the faces of several people and circulated endlessly.
More than ten minutes later.
The Audi A6L drove smoothly into the underground parking lot of [Times Palace].
The three of them got out of the car.
Wearing pointed-toe high-heeled shoes, Xie Shuyu’s steps are slightly frivolous, and there is a bit of unnoticeable panic in her walking posture.
Tang and Song Dynasties took a step forward very naturally.
He grabbed her slender waist, allowing her to lean part of her weight on him.
Xie Shuyu’s face tried hard to maintain calmness and dignity.
But the slightly red tips of her ears betrayed her state of mind at this time.
This long-lost sense of intimacy made her heart beat slightly.
Especially the undisguised aggression and male hormones in the Tang and Song Dynasties.
It made her heart beat faster and her breathing disordered.
But she also knew that she would not be able to escape tonight.
We have to face it sooner or later anyway.
Because of this, besides being nervous, there was a trace of expectation in her heart that she dared not look directly at.
Meng Ran had a panoramic view of the intimacy between the two, with an aunt's smile on her face.
He opened the elevator door and took them upstairs.
The door opened.
What hits your face is a warm feeling mixed with aromatherapy and modern home furnishings.
This is a modern and simple two-bedroom apartment with smart home configuration throughout the house, dual bathrooms, and a balcony that has been transformed into an independent work area.
Meng Ran took out the slippers for the two of them and introduced them generously: "Xiaoyu lives in the second bedroom. Tang and Song, please feel aggrieved for a while and live there tonight. Don't worry, it's far away from the master bedroom where I live, so no sound can be transmitted."
"Ranran!" Xie Shuyu couldn't help but glare at her, with a bit of embarrassment in his voice.
Meng Ran smiled innocently at her and picked up a bag of ingredients, "Okay, don't be shy. You two sit down for a while and watch TV for a while, and I'll show you my skills!"
"I'm going to change clothes." Xie Shuyu said and walked towards the bedroom.
Looking at her back, Tang Song smiled and stood in the wide living room, looking out the floor-to-ceiling window at the bright night of Chengdu. After a few minutes, the bedroom door was gently opened.
The capable female CEO put on a simple V-neck long sweater.
The fabric clings to her graceful upper body curves, exposing her delicate collarbones and seemingly invisible snow-white ravines. It is lazy, sexy and full of home atmosphere.
Tang Song’s eyes brightened, and he stepped in front of her, not concealing the heat in his eyes.
Xie Shuyu felt uncomfortable when he saw him, and his eyes averted slightly, "I'm going to the kitchen to help with the dyeing. It's better to have more hands. To be honest, I'm a little hungry now."
Looking at the cute and confused look of the female CEO, Tang Song couldn't help but chuckle.
also followed in.
"I'm here to help, too. My knife skills are good and I can help you cut vegetables."
Xie Shuyu glanced at him, her eyes dodge slightly, and she hesitated to speak.
The ingredients are all high-quality semi-finished products that Meng Ran brought from [Hema], and they are very simple to handle.
The soup pot on the induction cooker was steaming "Gurgling", the aroma of garlic and butter roasted at high temperature came from the oven, and the sharp kitchen knife in the hands of the Tang and Song Dynasties made a "duh" sound when it fell on the chopping board.
The wide open kitchen is soon filled with alluring aromas and sounds full of life.
Soon, several hard dishes that looked delicious, delicious, and delicious were placed on the table.
The golden and attractive typhoon shelter fried crabs, the sizzling and oily grilled Angus beef ribs, the milky white and mellow pepper pork belly chicken, and a large plate of garlic grilled oysters.
"It's time to eat!" Meng Ran took out a few cans of ice-cold Asahi beer and Perrier from the refrigerator, and invited the two of them to sit down.
Outside the window, there is the bright night view of Chengdu.
In the room, there is the aroma of nitrogen and argon food.
Meng Ran raised the beer can in his hand, with bright eyes, "Come on, no matter what, everyone has worked hard today.
It is the first time for Tang and Song Dynasties to come to Chengdu, let's have a drink first."
"Cheers." Tang and Song Dynasties raised their beers in cooperation.
“Ding~”
The three cups touched together crisply.
The bubbles surged in the cup, reflecting the light.
The cold liquid slides into the throat, with a hint of malt aroma.
The atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.
Meng Ran, who has a more outgoing personality, quickly started chatting.
He began to complain vividly about [Hema]’s “perverted” performance appraisal at the end of the year, as well as all the weird people and things he encountered at work recently.
Xie Shuyu was eating the food quietly on the side. Occasionally, he chuckled at the exaggerated description of his best friend, and reached out to pat her arm gently.
The eyes were also filled with relaxation and smile.
Tang and Song looked relaxed, eating their meals and listening quietly, with a faint smile always hanging on the corners of their mouths.
He didn’t deliberately interrupt, but he could always add a sentence or two at the right time, allowing the conversation to progress naturally.
His spontaneity and calmness from the inside out make people unknowingly led by him, and their minds relax.
The last trace of restraint gradually dissipated in the smoke.
The three of them get along so well as if they were old friends for many years.
After a few glasses of wine, Meng Ran completely let go.
Her eyes, which were particularly bright due to alcohol, looked at Tang Song curiously, "Tang Song, I haven't asked you yet, what is your main job? I heard from Xiao Yu that you are currently doing e-commerce live broadcast. But when I talked to you just now, I felt that you also know a lot about new retail. Do you have a similar business?"
Tang Song nodded and said in a calm tone: "You can say that. E-commerce is indeed in business, but I also have investment business here, so different fields are involved to some extent."
"Wow," Meng Ran couldn't help but said, "No wonder you are so professional, Xiaoyu, you are such a great investor."
Xie Shuyu pursed her lips and chuckled, and said smoothly: "How about Mr. Meng, do you want to consider accepting the offer and come to our Shimmer Coffee as C00?"
She knew her friend's concerns, and she also knew that the reason why she took the initiative to organize this dinner today was largely to personally "interview" the mysterious major shareholder behind her and see how good he was.
Now, we have met each other and talked with each other.
Shimmer Coffee is really busy right now.
She really needs a C00 who is both professional and absolutely trustworthy to help her share the increasingly tedious management work.
Meng Ran sighed softly, supporting his smooth chin with his hand, and his eyes fell on the bright night scene outside the window.
He sighed thoughtfully: "To be honest, it took a lot of effort for me to get to where I am now. When the business in the Southwest Region is fully developed and results are achieved, I will have the opportunity to be transferred back to Hangzhou to join Axi's headquarters. I have been looking forward to that opportunity for a long time."
Tang Song, who had been listening quietly, suddenly smiled and interjected: "Come to Shimmer Coffee, you will directly become a senior executive at the headquarters, and you will also have equity. And you will also have the opportunity to continue to rise and go to a larger platform."
Meng Ran blinked, "Continue to rise?"
"Well." Tang Song looked at Xiang Xiang calmly, "I am now the major shareholder of Shimmer Coffee. In the future, you can be promoted to my side."
Meng Ran laughed out loud, raised his glass, and said with a hint of ridicule in his tone, "Then I'll toast you, my 'big boss.' "
When Xie Renyu heard this, he smiled in surprise on the beach, "Ranran, what do you mean? Agree?"
"Yeah." Meng Ranchao made an 0K gesture, "For the sake of our investors, I agree!"
In fact, after having real contact with the Tang and Song Dynasties, he had already dispelled the last worry in his heart.
Decided to agree to Xie Renyu’s invitation.
But as for what Tang and Song Dynasty just said about "continuing to rise", it is necessary not to take it seriously.
[Hema Fresh] Although its valuation has dropped a bit from last year’s tens of billions of dollars, it still has a size of six to seven billion dollars, making it a platform-level giant.
What’s more, behind it is a real behemoth like Axi Baba.
No matter how powerful and potential the Tang and Song Dynasties were, it was impossible to reach this level.
And in the chat just now, Xiang also learned that Tang and Song were not some hidden top rich second generation. His hometown was a county below Quancheng.
Even the so-called "County Brahmins" are still far behind a real giant like Father Ali.
“Ding Ding~~”
The wine glasses clinked lightly in the air again.
Tang Song took a sip of beer, his eyes still calm.
He naturally saw Meng Ran’s thoughts, but he had no intention of explaining.
A dinner where guests and host enjoyed themselves entered into silence in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
Let’s clean up the kitchen together.
Meng Ran glanced at the time, showing a bit of helplessness like a "little animal" on the beach.
"No, no, I'm full. I still have a few PPT plans waiting for me to revise, so I won't disturb the world of the two of you. Just do whatever you need to do, as if I don't exist."
As he spoke, he walked towards the work area on the balcony.
Before leaving, I gave my best friend a meaningful look.
Only Tang Song and Xie Shuyu were left in the living room.
The atmosphere then became a little subtle.
"Shall we go for a walk?" Xie Renyu's voice was a little nervous.
"Where to go?"
"Guchi is nearby, and the night view is pretty good. I've been busy these days and didn't care. Go shopping, and I also want to buy some clothes."
"Let's go."
Tang Song stood up and stretched out his hand towards her.
Xie Renyu was silent for a while, and finally placed his hand on his broad and warm palm.
Wear a cashmere coat and dress up in high-heeled shoes.
The two took the elevator downstairs.
On a winter night in Chengdu, the air is cold.
Ning Guxi’s neighborhood is crowded with people, and fashion and laziness coexist.
It exudes the unique charm of this city.
Tang Song held the female CEO’s hand and walked side by side on the street.
Attracted countless attention.
Perhaps because of the alcohol, Xie Renyu gradually let go.
Let go of the reserve of the female CEO and return to a comfortable mode of getting along with each other like friends.
No longer talk about work, but introduce the cultural customs of Chengdu with great interest.
"This AcneStudios mule jacket suits you very well, do you want to try it?"
"I remember that you seem to like woody perfumes, this new one from LeLabo——."
The two of them browsed stores with full design.
After watching the performance of the Tang and Song Dynasties, he helped the customer choose clothes and try perfume.
Arriving at the entrance of a carving shop, Xie Renyu suddenly asked: "Xiao Song, is there anything you want? I'll give it to you."
The corner of Tang Song's mouth raised, he stopped, leaned close to Xian's ear, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "I want you."
Xie Renyu's body stiffened, and the base of his fair ears began to turn red visibly to the naked eye.
Leaving the hustle and bustle of Goguxi, the two of them walked into a quiet old street without knowing it.
The wind blew, and the female CEO subconsciously tightened her camel coat.
The fragrant smell of cold perfume and feminine body fragrance filled the air.
Sexy and charming.
Tang Song suddenly took hold of Xun's hand, and with an unexpected low cry from Xun, he pulled Xun behind a sycamore tree.
"What are you doing!" Xie Shuyu's beach was filled with unnatural panic.
Tang Song did not answer, but raised a finger and made a "shh" gesture.
Then, he couldn’t refuse and put his hand into the warm coat, and held the slender waist.
Looking at the dignified beach of the female president, feeling her delicate skin.
He lowered his head and kissed her heavily.
Taste the sweet taste you need.
"Uh-"
Xie Renyu's eyes widened instantly. There were still people passing by on the roadside, and some people noticed the movement here.
But all Xie Renyu’s reserve and rationality melted into a pool of spring water in his aggressive movements.
i
After a while, the two separated.
Xie Renyu’s clothes were a little messy, and there was a slight flush on the beach.
“It won’t happen again.”
You need to leave these words behind, lower your head, put your hands in your pockets, turn around and walk away quickly.
Tang Song smiled and chased after him.
I can’t help but recall the feeling just now in my mind.
Although the female CEO is very thin, she is actually quite capable.
Standard C cup.
Of course, the most important thing is the sense of contentment and accomplishment after the necessary dignity and reserve are wantonly destroyed.
Crossing the old street, a small square came into view.
Immediately, a slightly hoarse sound of guitar playing came from not far away.
"JBGM: Far away from here, there is a rolling sea, and a lonely man is on the sea, holding up the sail"
It is "Lillian" by Song Dongye.
The singing voice spreads through the speakers, clean and warm.
Through the gap, you can see a handsome man wearing a hoodie, holding an acoustic guitar and sitting on a bench singing.
There was a cell phone microphone in front of him. It was obviously a live broadcast, and there were many young ladies in front of him who stopped to listen.
Living in Chengdu, a city that is tolerant and full of literary and artistic atmosphere.
Such street live broadcasts can also be considered a part of nightlife.
Listening to the familiar singing melody.
Xie Renyu’s footsteps paused slightly, and there was a hint of nostalgia on the beach.
As a standard post-90s generation, Xiu has also chased celebrities, attended performances, and loved rock and roll and folk songs.
When I first graduated, my father’s friends often yelled at me in KTV.
I feel that my future is limitless.
But now that Sanzhe is in her prime, career and responsibility have already taken up most of her thoughts.
Star chasing, folk songs, passion—
It seems far away from what is needed.
I have long since passed the age where I would listen to folk songs on the streets and reminisce about my youth.
Noticing the abnormality in the need, Tang Song turned his head slightly, "What's wrong?"
Xie Renyu quickly calmed down and shook his head gently, "Nothing."
Xie Renyu couldn’t help but be moved when he looked at his broad, undeniable back.
The singing continues.
They just stood in the crowd and listened quietly to the song.
The evening breeze, the bright colors, the neon lights, the singing, the surging crowds——
Xie Renyu was also infected by this romantic atmosphere, with an unconscious smile at the corner of his mouth.
The singing ends.
There was a burst of applause and cheers from the crowd.
The live broadcaster Kesheng smiled at the mobile phone screen and said: "Thanks to 'Rongcheng Suyu' for sending lollipops - you can donate any songs you want to listen to. ”
Tang Song looked at Xie Renyu’s eyes that looked bright under the light, and suddenly came close to Xian’s ear and asked, “What song do you want to listen to?”
The warm breath sprayed on the earlobes and neck of the need, arousing a layer of fine goose bumps.
Xie Renyu bit his lip.
I thought that the Tang and Song dynasties needed help in ordering songs.
After thinking for a while, he whispered: ""Ordinary Road"."
When this song was born, I had just graduated and was wandering alone in the magic city.
During the day, Xi worked hard in the office, and at night he dragged his tired body to the subway, struggling desperately for a slim future.
This song has accompanied me through countless late-night last trains.
"As you wish, my female CEO."
"Boo—"
Tang Song kissed Xun hard on the beach, suddenly let go of Xun's hand, and then, under Xun's stunned eyes, walked straight to the center of the crowd.
Came to Kesheng, "Brother, I'm sorry, can you lend me the guitar again? Play a song for my girlfriend."
Looking at the handsome guy who suddenly appeared.
The fathers of the little girls around him were acting abnormally, and they immediately exclaimed enthusiastically.
Some people quickly took out their mobile phones, pointed them at him, and started filming.
The young man was stunned, and then generously handed the guitar over: "Use it as you like! Do you want me to accompany you?"
"No, thank you." Tang Song shook his head and held the neck of the guitar with his slender fingers.
I adjusted the tune casually.
A breath of intellectual literature and art naturally emanated from him, with great freedom and ease.
The dark hair swept across the eyebrows, and Jun Shen's face seemed to have a halo.
In the live broadcast room, the originally sparse barrages started to circulate like crazy as if they had been detonated.
Tang Song ignored it and just lowered the angle of the phone to make his own beach disappear from the camera.
He raised his eyes and looked at the female CEO who was still stunned.
Chao Xiang showed a handsome and gentle smile.
Immediately afterwards, the slender fingers slid across the strings.
An improvised fingerstyle guitar prelude flows slowly under the night of Chengdu.
Full of gorgeous skills and rich emotions.
"JBGM: Wandering, on the road, do you want to leave, ViaVia"—·"
His voice is extremely clean, with a hint of deep fatherly magnetism.
It is different from Yuan Bing, but it has a calm flavor, which is very pleasant to the ear.
The lyrics echoed in his voice.
It is as clear as the night wind and as warm as the wine.
The crowd gradually became quiet.
The statue of Xie Renyu was fixed in place.
I just looked at the handsome man in the crowd, who was in need of playing.
Color and neon are intertwined.
The light and shadow flickered on and off his body.
Flowing singing.
Through the hustle and bustle of Chunxi Road.
It also passed through her heart easily.
It lights up a corner of youth that has long since passed away.
Night in Chengdu.
Because of him, I feel gentle like never before.
