Chapter 567 Smile Charity Foundation

Zhao Yaqian kissed him very hard and hugged him very tightly.

Salty tears slid down my skin, cool to the touch.

The guitar had been placed on the carpet at some point.

She looked at Tang Song in front of her, feeling his body temperature, his heartbeat, and his love.

Emotions surged up and overwhelmed her.

Her first love was bittersweet, innocent, and pure.

From their first encounter at the beauty salon, to a stroll down the pedestrian street on a rainy day, handmade fried skewers, a Wuling Hongguang van, a full 95 liters of gasoline, a road trip, struggles and rejections, a sudden flutter of the heart, their first kiss, and finally, being together…

Everything was churning in her memory.

In her eyes, the Tang and Song dynasties were love itself, and the entirety of her emotional world.

She has a simple, even somewhat "fierce" personality; she is emotional and impulsive, and her emotions are easily read on her face.

In the past, the furthest future she had ever imagined was learning a trade and finding a job that would allow her to put food on the table.

But fate, like a flood suddenly released from its dam, swept her into a completely different world.

She naively leaned on him, unknowingly completing a leap in social class, rising to the top in one step.

She didn't understand many things before, and never thought too much about them.

Tang Song gradually told her what to do and what to do next.

Without really understanding what was going on, she ended up with a mansion, 4000 million yuan worth of shares in a beauty salon, and over 2000 million yuan worth of shares in a private club. She also met the legendary Kim Mi-soo.

Her life at 19 was like a dream that was too grand and too unreal.

Until recently, specifically during those few days when I returned to my hometown in Shandong Province.

The moment he returned home in glory, the shock in his parents' eyes, the fawning on his relatives' faces, the elevated status brought by money…

She had just begun to truly awaken from this dream.

At the same time, she also began to do as Tang and Song had said.

Look directly into your own heart and reflect on your own value.

She came from an ordinary small county town with a complicated family background (her parents were in debt and her relatives were greedy). She had poor grades in high school, did not go to university, and lacked systematic education and artistic training. She could only fill the gap by imitation.

I want to learn something and perform well in social situations, but I find that I lack the ability.

She wanted to improve herself, but discovered too many shortcomings: eloquence, aesthetic sense, conversational skills...

I had to learn everything from scratch.

If you disregard her figure and appearance, she is actually a very ordinary girl.

Then, she remembered what Mr. Mo had said when they signed the trust agreement: "Before you, he had a lover."

She naturally already knew that "Miss Su" was Su Yu.

As both are "lovers" and "canaries," she unconsciously compares herself and Su Yu on the same coordinate axis.

The result was disastrous.

Su Yu was a goal she could never reach.

Even though she has her own career, has learned to dance, and can stand under the spotlight and smile for photos, she still can't compare to the other person in any way.

In the days that she realized this, she tossed and turned every night.

Several times she even woke up in the middle of the night in a fright, dreaming that Tang Song was tired of her and left her, and then she would hug her quilt and cry loudly.

Timidity, low self-esteem, avoidance...

She was allowed to stay in her hometown for an extra week.

Fortunately, she has a straightforward and optimistic personality, and these troubles passed after she cried, laughed, and ate a few big meals.

Even so, she always harbored a deep-seated inferiority complex about relationships, a fear of asking questions.

She simply chose to stop dwelling on it.

Until tonight, right now.

Her dance captivated Tang and Song, and her figure amazed him;

He played the guitar and sang "Slowly Falling in Love with You" for her, gazing tenderly into her eyes.

She finally overcame her inner hurdle.

To dispel one's feelings of inferiority in relationships.

She was his first woman.

Their clumsy yet sincere first kiss, their hazy yet innocent first time, their gradual exploration of each other's bodies...

Tang Song will not leave her; he will always like her and love her.

She will always be there for him.

Even if she's just an ordinary beautician, there will always be a special place for her in his heart.

Even if that location is very small.

...

The wet kisses continued.

Zhao Yaqian's smile grew brighter and brighter.

Like peach blossoms quietly blooming in the early spring morning light, gentle, radiant, and with a touch of playful confidence.

It was reflected in Tang Song's eyes and in his heart.

Their lips parted slowly, their breaths still ragged.

"I love you, Zhao Yaqian," Tang Song whispered.

The beautician's eyes seemed misty, yet they shone brightly.

Like stars polished by spring rain, they shimmer with captivating light.

"I love you too, Tang Song."

Before she finished speaking, she laughed and jumped up.

Her long, snow-white legs wrapped directly around Tang Song's body.

His long, wine-red hair brushed against his face and neck, soft yet fiery.

“My dear programmer friend,” she winked and joked playfully, “Zhao Meiren is going to teach you a lesson tonight!”

"I'll see."

Tang Song smiled as he supported her buttocks, lifted her dance skirt, and felt the warmth emanating from her wine glass-like legs.

Delicate and smooth, tender and tempting.

He lowered his head and inhaled her refreshing fragrance, his eyes gleaming with a mixture of doting affection and desire.

The night outside the window was gentle, and a cool breeze was blowing lightly, but the air inside the room began to warm up.

Zhao Yaqian chuckled softly in his ear, her breath hot.

Two young souls embraced tightly.

Emotions surged, the sound of heartbeats and the rustling of clothes intertwined.

A 19-year-old beautician.

Although ordinary, I am willing to work hard;
Although dependent, they are slowly becoming independent;

Despite being vain, I have never lost my sincerity;

Ultimately, in Tang Song, it became a canary spreading its wings and soaring.

It blooms quietly and emits a clear chirping sound.

……

Night slowly enveloped the city lights.

Tang Song carried the exhausted beautician to a shower and gently placed her in bed.

The beautician opened her eyes, gave her a silly smile, and then fell asleep peacefully.

Tang Song lay beside her.

Open the system interface and go to the [Companion] module.

In the very center of the character card for Zhao Yaqian, a glittering golden gift bag floats quietly.

Select the "Canary's Glory Gift Pack" to open it immediately.

"Ding! [Companion - Zhao Yaqian] has received the attribute bonus [Agility +2]."

"Ding! [Partner - Zhao Yaqian] has received the item reward [Leg Optimization]."

"Ding! [Partner - Zhao Yaqian] has obtained the identity reward [Honorary Vice Chairman]."

[Leg Optimization]: After use, it will optimize Zhao Yaqian's leg lines, muscle distribution and fat ratio for a period of time in the future, making the legs more toned and slender, improving the proportion and coordination of the thighs and calves, creating a more perfect curve, and having a stronger visual appeal and expressiveness.

[Note: This will be a perfect pair of wine glass legs]

Upon seeing the reward information, Tang Song's heart raced.

Nice! No wonder it's a reward for a canary! Everything is geared towards pleasing their partner!

The beautician's legs were already exceptional, and they were also the part of her body that Tang and Song dynasties favored.

Every time I'm with her, I can't help but touch her a few times.

Now, with the added benefit of system items, it's unimaginable how tempting it will be.

In fact, this kind of reward has appeared before in "Male God Growth Plan", and it was for game characters.

For example, actress Su Yu once received a similar award.

This is one of the reasons why Su Yu has such a perfect figure.

Select "Leg Optimization" to apply it immediately.

"Whoosh—" A flash of light.

The legs of Zhao Yaqian in the character illustration card are covered with a layer of rosy light.

Tang Song's attention shifted to another reward.

[Honorary Vice Chairman]: (Identity Verification) Vice Chairman of the Smile Charity Foundation under the Tang Jin Family Office. Honorary title. Can represent the foundation in global public welfare image activities, closed-door roundtable forums and some special review qualifications. Also has the right to propose and co-sign specific projects.

[Note 1: The foundation team will be responsible for the implementation of the duties and coordination. Please pay attention to recent information.]

[Note 2: As your canary, you deserve your own glory.]

"The Smile Charity Foundation?" Tang Song raised an eyebrow.

I picked up my phone from the bedside table and searched for it.

Soon, a list of information appeared.

Smile Philanthropic Foundation.

Founded in 2019, it is a global corporate philanthropic organization wholly owned by the Tang King Family Office and is a non-public fundraising organization.

The vision is "to let the world see more smiles".

The foundation has a registered capital of US$100 billion and has invested more than US$10 billion in total, with charitable projects covering the world.

The funds come from investment returns from assets under the Tang Jin family office, as well as targeted donations from some family members.

Core funding areas include: education, healthcare, environmental protection and community development, disaster preparedness…

The collaborative network includes: the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Kate Bank, the Gates Foundation…

After reading the information, Tang Song instantly understood.

No wonder the system named this reward the "Canary's Glory Gift Pack".

Essentially, it is a form of "identity endorsement" and also a "symbolic recognition".

Rationally speaking, Zhao Yaqian did not have any real involvement in the management or decision-making of the "Smile Charity Foundation," and she didn't even know the basic framework of such an organization.

More often than not, they serve as background figures or mascots.

But precisely because of this, being able to be named "Honorary Vice Chairman" is already a very high form of recognition.

After all, this is the most internationally influential corporate foundation under the Don Kim family office, and it is personally overseen and operated by Secretary Kim.

[Character: Canary (Honorary Vice Chairman of the Smile Charitable Foundation)]

[Constitution: 70, Endurance: 71, Agility: 62, Comprehension: 62]

[Growth Progress: 85%]

------

【Training Program Task 7: The Canary's Garment】

[Task Content: Having undergone a transformation in self-awareness and self-confidence, Zhao Yaqian has also achieved a leap in status, obtaining the title of Honorary Vice Chairman of the Smile Charity Foundation and officially stepping onto the stage. Please have her cultivate certain social etiquette, appear in formal occasions, receive attention and evaluation from people of different levels, and interact with other core characters. Also, please have her establish close social relationships with at least two of your other "lovers" (emotional exchange, initial exploration of project collaborations, etc.)]

[Task Rewards: 10% growth progress, Canary Costume Pack *1]

[Task Progress: Incomplete]

[Note: The canary, now adorned with magnificent plumage and dazzling attire, may become timid in the sight of more people. Players are advised to give their partners extra care and love.]

...

All four attributes have improved, and the growth rate has successfully broken through to 85%. This in itself is the best proof of the beautician's growth trajectory.

Looking at the contents of [Cultivation Plan Task ⑦], Tang Song seemed to be deep in thought.

He knows his beautician friend very well and is aware of her current situation.

As a pampered little canary, Zhao Yaqian's social circle was extremely limited to begin with.

Her rapid rise in social class caused her to lose old friends, and she has yet to truly build a network of connections in the new world.

The outside world was both new and fraught with risks for her.

To break the ice, just as the system requires, her truly suitable "social arena" should actually begin with the "other women" around him.

Lin Muxue is a good example.

Others, such as Xie Shuyu and Wen Ruan, are also very suitable.

They are more mature and rational, and will not have any ill intentions towards Zhao Yaqian. On the contrary, they may provide guidance and support to some extent.

If they can successfully establish a certain level of trust and cooperation, they can also form a synergy in their emotions and careers in the future.

In fact, Zhao Yaqian's current title of "Vice Chairman" is somewhat similar in nature to the "Special Consultative Seat" that Wen Ruan was just awarded.

These are all honorary identities under the Tang Jin system.

The difference is that Wen Ruan is close to the center of power, while Zhao Yaqian is gently led into the halo of glory.

But in any case, the two of them have already stepped into the same territory of this giant tower.

We'll eventually meet in person at some point.

To be honest, I still don't know my two earliest partners or lovers, we've never met, and we've never even crossed paths.

This is certainly due to objective factors such as differences in their personalities, backgrounds, and social circles.

But ultimately, it was his own inaction that caused the problem.

He let out a breath and glanced at the beautician next to him.

Tang and Song made up their minds.

it's time.

Tangjin Manor is about to be handed over for use.

It's time for them to get to know each other!

...

The lights slowly dimmed, plunging the room into a soft, dim light.

Just before going to bed, Tang Song suddenly remembered something, picked up his phone, opened QQ, and switched to his alternate account.

Open Zhang Yan's chat window.

There are still no new comments.

It's actually quite normal. People get busy, forget things, and get filled up with new experiences.

But for some reason, he would always feel a strange, inexplicable emotional fluctuation, as if something was missing.

Thinking about his upcoming trip to Guangzhou, his emotions stirred slightly.

With his current emotional intelligence, experience, and the bits and pieces of information he had pieced together over the past few days, he had already roughly outlined Zhang Yan's psychological state.

Just as Liu Qingning was to him, Zhang Yan may have also regarded him as her ideal woman.

However, after graduating from junior high school, he was overshadowed by his ideal woman and desperately chased after Liu Qingning.

Little did he know that this junior high school classmate had always been following in his footsteps, silently watching him.

From repeating a year at No. 2 High School to Yancheng Agricultural University, from internship in Beijing to a semi-basement apartment in Tiantongyuan…

Every message she left on QQ was sent in a way that made it invisible to him.

Those words, without seeking a response, were sincere and gentle in every sentence.

Anyone who suddenly learns of such a thing is bound to be deeply moved.

However, Zhang Yan has been away from the capital for more than two years now, having moved to Guangzhou.

Has she let go of it now?
In her heart, "Tang and Song" may have become a symbol and a source of hope?

That's why he never took the initiative to contact her.

She represents a period of youth that was once overlooked, yet truly existed.

“You look the same as before, but I look different.”

He murmured to himself and slowly closed his eyes.

……

October 25, 2023, Wednesday, sunny, 12~30℃.

6 o'clock in the morning.

The alarm clock rang on time.

Shen Yuyan slowly opened her eyes, stared at the ceiling in a daze for a while, until she was fully awake, then suddenly sat up and rubbed her messy hair.

She subconsciously turned her head to look out the window; the sky was just beginning to lighten, and the thin mist had not yet dissipated.

The city's outline gradually became clear in the morning light.

She rolled out of bed, opened her suitcase, and began packing.

She packed most of her luggage before going to bed last night, and now only some important documents and information need to be checked.

I opened the bedside drawer and took out my travel pass, APEC card, spare ID card, business card holder, and a thick research manual from the folder.

It contains her personally compiled organizational structure and recent business updates of the Hong Kong headquarters, and even notes on the personality traits and preferences of several core executives.

After confirming that everything was correct, Shen Yuyan put the documents into her handbag one by one and returned to her suitcase.

Organize the spare data cable, power adapter, perfume samples, folding ironing board, and other details one by one.

I cannot allow myself to make any mistakes.

Everything is ready.

She stood up, walked to the wardrobe, and changed into a tracksuit.

I stood in front of the mirror and looked at myself.

Shen Yuyan smiled with satisfaction and struck a pose.

I picked up my phone and snapped a picture.

In the photo, her fair and slender legs, the top that slightly reveals her waist, her ponytail, and the perfect morning light make her look energetic and alluring.

After sharing the photos with Tang Song, Shen Yuyan carefully chose her words and left a message: "Good morning, Boss. I'm in great shape today. I can walk, run, and even check my luggage. I'm a little excited about flying to Hong Kong today (#wink). I look forward to meeting you in Hong Kong and waiting for you to 'receive' my package."

Then, they added airplane, package, and peach emojis to the end.

Click Send.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Yuyan opened Lin Muxue's chat box again.

The above is a conversation between the two of them last night, which can be described as a war of words and sarcastic remarks.

With a cold laugh, Shen Yuyan typed a message: "Xiaoxue, do you want to go to the airport together? Or should we meet in the airport terminal?"

Finished sending the message.

I put on my sneakers and went to the door of the second bedroom.

Just push the door open and enter.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Qing was seen sitting on the bed, pulling open her thermal underwear and staring at her chest.

Xu Qing was startled by the noise at the door.

She gasped softly, quickly put down her clothes, and said with a flushed face, "What are you doing! You came in without knocking?"

"Hehe." Shen Yuyan rolled her eyes at her, annoyed. "What haven't we seen? I've pinched your thing countless times. Tiny B cup, how ridiculous."

"You! You—" Xu Qing stammered, then grabbed a plush toy from the bed and threw it at him.

Shen Yuyan laughed as she dodged it, then picked it up and threw it again.

Xu Qing caught it, then suddenly grinned mischievously, her big, dark eyes darting around. "Yan Yan, come here, I want to show you something."

"What's wrong?" Shen Yuyan asked, approaching the bedside.

Xu Qing stretched out her fingers and pulled open the collar of her thermal underwear, revealing her smooth skin to Shen Yuyan.

"What's this good stuff?" Shen Yuyan tapped it directly, teasingly saying, "You haven't turned into a pervert, have you? You have feelings for me? Then I'll have to have a good talk with Tang Song."

"Get lost!" Xu Qing pouted and whispered, "Haven't you noticed? I've gotten bigger! Let me tell you, ever since Tang Song... uh, well... anyway, I've gotten bigger. Take a closer look!"

Xu Qing blushed and pulled her collar open again.

Shen Yuyan raised her eyebrows and reached her hand inside.

"Ugh! You twisted, scheming man!"

"Let me go! Ouch!"

Xu Qing started rolling around on the bed, seizing the opportunity to retaliate in kind.

The two argued back and forth for a while before finally calming down.

Xu Qing leaned against the headboard, hugging her doll, panting heavily, and glared at Shen Yuyan with a resentful look: "You're just jealous that I've gotten bigger, hmph, it won't be long before I'm a C-cup too."

“Why would I be jealous of you? It’s just that I’m too thin. If I were a little bit chubby, I’d be a D-cup.” Shen Yuyan puffed out her chest, stood up, and casually said while tying her ponytail, “Let’s get down to business. When I come back from Hong Kong this time, we’ll move.”

"Moving?" Xu Qing was taken aback. "Didn't you say you were living quite comfortably now? Why do you suddenly want to move?"

“Rongliu Capital provides housing subsidies to its executives. Tang Song felt that our current accommodation was a bit poor and the location was not good, so he specially approved a 130-square-meter suite in Lanfeng International for me. The floor is not bad, it is well-ventilated and fully furnished.”

"Lanfeng International Apartments?!" Xu Qing's face lit up with a delighted smile. "Hmph, Little Song really cares about me; is this a surprise for me?"

She had naturally heard of Lanfeng International, after all, it was the most high-end apartment complex in Yancheng, and the Lanfeng International Hotel was right next to it.

Surrounded by large commercial complexes and office buildings, its location and environment are far superior to the current North City Garden.

“If you say so, then so be it.” Shen Yuyan suddenly leaned forward and looked at her best friend, saying, “There’s something else. Lin Muxue lives on the 20th floor there.”

(°д°)！

"Huh?!" Xu Qing's eyes widened. "She's there too? Does that mean...does that mean we have to...fight her head-on?"

Shen Yuyan raised her eyebrows and laughed, "A direct confrontation? It's not that exaggerated. We're not enemies. At most, it's just the two of us best friends teaming up to 'bully' her a little."

Hearing her best friend's words, Xu Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes began to light up.

That's right! When the two of them combine, that's Xu Yanqing! Liu Ruyan is nothing compared to her; she's only good for being bullied.

The thought of that scene brought a sly smile to her lips.

∩__∩y
"Ding-dong—" A WeChat notification sound rang.

Shen Yuyan picked up her phone and looked at it.

Lin Muxue: "I'll come pick you up, so you don't have to take a taxi."

Shen Yuyan's eyes flickered, and he suddenly leaned close to Xu Qing's ear, his tone becoming complicated and mysterious: "Qingqing, there's something you need to be mentally prepared for."

"What's up?" Xu Qing blinked.

Shen Yuyan looked at her, coughed lightly, and slowly said, "You and Lin Muxue live in the same building. Tang Song... might call you both together, and then..."

She paused, making an extremely ambiguous gesture with her hands.

∑(っ°Д°;)っ

Xu Qing froze instantly, her mind going blank as if struck by lightning.

"You...you mean...me and her? Together?? With him?!"

Shen Yuyan said with a solemn expression, "It's just a possibility, but... I feel the possibility is very high: you, Tang Song, and Lin Muxue."

Xu Qing grabbed her hair and bounced up on the bed like a feather poised to explode.

Could it be that Xiao Songzi harbors such wolfish ambitions?!

Damn it! Absolutely despicable!
She angrily grabbed the plush toy on the bed and started smashing it.

My face was burning hot, like it was about to steam.

After a long while, she hugged her best friend tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, and cried, "Yan Yan, save me!"

Although she's incredibly powerful in the novel, in real life she's a total coward.

Especially since the other party is a "villainous woman" who, like Xiaojing, often bullies and tramples on her.

If it really comes to that...

Wouldn't she be going to ride on her head and pee on her?
Shen Yuyan looked at her best friend, but her eyes revealed a cryptic light.

She reached out and pulled Xu Qing into her arms, leaned down, and whispered in her ear, her breath sweet as orchids, "It's alright, don't be afraid. We're best friends, after all. I can help you."

Xu Qing immediately perked up, "How can I help?"

Shen Yuyan curled the corners of her lips and slowly said, "If Tang Song really wants to do something special... I might be able to sacrifice a little for you and satisfy him."

Then, she gently bit her earlobe.

Xu Qing's face was visibly red, almost dripping with blood.

A moment later, she stiffly turned her head and looked at her best friend, her eyes shifting from shock to shyness and then to confusion.

After stammering for a long time, he finally managed to say, "What if Xiao Songzi wants to try something more special?"

As she spoke, she timidly held up four fingers.

Shen Yuyan: (Д)ノ彡┻━┻
