Chapter 577 Dreaming of meeting again someday by chance
October 28, 2023, Saturday, cloudy turning to light rain.

At six o'clock in the morning, before dawn, the sky outside the window was a pale grayish-blue.

Tang Song slowly opened his eyes amidst the familiar scent, the delicate fragrance of gardenias lingering around his nose, both refreshing and gentle.

He turned his head slightly, and in the dim light, a sleeping face came into view.

Liu Qingning lay on her side, her hair scattered messily between the pillow and his shoulder.

His breathing was slow, even, like the tides on the coastline of Shenzhen Bay.

Her cheeks still had a lingering blush, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if she were having a sweet dream.

The scenes from last night flooded back to Tang Song, stirring his emotions.

A tight embrace, whispering sweet nothings...

Their bodies were burning hot, and they drew closer on the verge of a tentative encounter.

They have known each other for nearly 20 years and have been good friends for more than 10 years.

We've never been so close.

Unlike him, Liu Qingning always maintained an instinctive purity in her relationship with her body.

Every time we were in close contact, I could feel her budding desire and careful restraint through her expressions and physical reactions.

But it is precisely because of this that her emotions are all the more genuine.

Tang and Song dynasties could sense it.

The reason Liu Qingning doesn't want to move so fast is not only because she hasn't overcome the hurdle in her heart, but also because she hopes to have a clean, pure, and gradual relationship.

And it was this innocence of his beloved that moved him the most.

Tang Song took a light breath and kissed Liu Qingning's rosy cheeks.

Then he carefully withdrew his arm, got up, and pulled the blanket up for her.

October in Shenzhen is already starting to get a bit chilly.

The phone screen lit up on the carpet in the room.

Just then, a crisp system notification sound rang in my ears.

"Ding! Congratulations, player! The aura effect has been activated, and you have triggered an additional critical hit reward."

"Ding! You have obtained a special item [Advanced Body Size Optimization Potion]."

Tang Song was slightly taken aback, then a surprised smile appeared on his face.

After holding back for so long, I finally won again! And it's a rare, high-level potion!
Even in games, this kind of item is extremely rare.

Tang Song tiptoed into the dressing room.

Open the system inventory to view the reward details.

[Advanced Body Optimization Potion]: After use, your body will enter a "golden adaptation period". From the skeletal system to the muscle network, from the nervous system to the metabolic mechanism, hormone secretion tends to be balanced, body control ability is enhanced, you can accurately control subtle movements, and increase the frequency of triggering "flow" state... (Constitution +3, Endurance +3, Agility +3).

[Note: During the drug activation period, it is recommended to engage in at least 60 minutes of moderate-intensity or higher training daily to maximize absorption.]

Tang Song thought to himself, "Awesome!"
As expected of a high-level potion, it provides an all-around boost, and all three basic attributes are increased by 3.

It's practically about creating a "male god's body".

His physical attractiveness is already difficult to improve, but with the help of this potion, he might be able to take it a step further.

What mermaid line, what V-shaped waist, give it to me!
Select the [Advanced Body Size Optimization Potion] and use it immediately.

Suddenly, a liquid appeared in my mouth, refreshing and sweet.

"Gudu——"

As the liquid slid down his throat, Tang Song's nerve endings throbbed, and his heart began to race.

However, after only ten seconds, my body gradually calmed down.

At the same time, Tang Song felt an indescribable clarity and energy.

The medicine is starting to take effect!

Quickly change into the [Outfit - Unlimited Energy] and walk into the living room with high spirits.

First, warm up for ten minutes on the treadmill, then stand on the yoga mat and start your high-intensity fat-burning workout.

Sweat dripped from his forehead, and his muscles were ignited by the heat.

The body began to turn red and hot.

Tang and Song, however, felt extremely comfortable.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Suddenly, a reproachful voice came from behind: "Hey, are you sure this is okay for your health?"

Tang Song slowly stopped what he was doing, turned around, and saw Liu Qingning, who had changed into her workout clothes, looking at him with some concern.

"You got up so early?"

Liu Qingning came up to him and said, "My biological clock is very healthy now."

“I know, but… didn’t you go to bed very late last night? And at that time…” Tang Song blinked.

"Don't say it!" Liu Qingning blushed and gently patted his chest.

Her palms were immediately soaked with his sweat, which made her subconsciously recall her loss of composure last night, and she couldn't help but kick him again.

Tang Song chuckled and gently brushed her bangs aside, his fingers tracing her lovely face as they slowly moved downwards.

Liu Qingning instinctively tried to dodge, but he pulled her directly into his arms.

The smell of male sweat mixed with hormones hits you.

She bit her lower lip, her body trembled slightly, and even her voice became much softer, "I'm serious... you just exercised too vigorously, it's not good for your health."

He changed the subject, saying, "I was asking you. I just saw you working out for over twenty minutes. That's too strenuous and bad for your health."

"It's okay, your boyfriend is in better health than you think."

"I was just worried about you!"

Tang Song leaned down and kissed her, then suddenly lay down on the yoga mat, pointed to his back, and said in a relaxed tone, "Come on, try it out, let me show you the power of your manhood!"

Liu Qingning was taken aback, but quickly understood what he meant.

She chuckled, her eyes crinkling as she walked over and carefully sat on his back.

The warm, soft buttocks pressed against the burning hot back, the steam rising from them, which felt quite comfortable.

Immediately afterwards, Tang and Song's shoulder blades stretched out powerfully like a tiger leaping, moving up and down.

Liu Qingning placed her hand on his shoulder, feeling the explosive power surging beneath his muscles.

A primal instinct quietly rose within her, stirring an indescribable emotion within her.

After a while.

She climbed off his back with a touch of heartache. "Okay, okay, stop for a bit. Drink some water and rest. Don't push yourself."

Tang Song slowed his movements, chuckled softly, and stood up.

The next second, amidst Liu Qingning's exclamation, he suddenly pushed her down onto the sofa.

He supported himself on either side of her with his arms, his gaze burning.

"What are you doing..." Liu Qingning was pinned down by him, her eyes darting away, her voice softening considerably.

"Drink...sip." Tang Song blinked and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

The sky outside the window is gradually brightening.

Amber-colored morning light streamed through the French windows, falling on the intertwined silhouettes of the two people.

The whole world was bathed in a gentle glow.

……

9:30am.

A black Maybach S-Class slowly came to a stop in front of the entrance to No. 1 Shenzhen Bay.

The driver, dressed in a well-tailored suit, got out of the car briskly, put his suitcase in the trunk, and quickly opened the rear door.

Tang Song looked down at her. "Aren't you getting on the bus? I'll give you a ride."

Liu Qingning shook her head, a slight smile playing on her lips. "You're all grown up, why do you need someone to take you home? I took the day off yesterday, I still have work to finish."

Tang Song gave her a deep look, but ultimately didn't insist. He just gently squeezed her fingers and then let go.

"Take care of yourself. Come to Yancheng anytime you miss me. I'll come see you when I have time."

Liu Qingning smiled and took a step back, putting her hands behind her back, just like when she used to play hide-and-seek with him.

"Alright, stop making it sound like a life-or-death situation. It's just Yancheng and Shenzhen, a few hours by plane. Let's go, don't be late. Send me a message when you get in the car, and let me know when you arrive in Hong Kong."

Tang Song bent down and got into the car, glancing back at her before closing the door.

Liu Qingning stood outside the window, waving vigorously, her eyes curving into two adorable little crescents.

"Bye-Bye."

"Bye-Bye."

The car slowly drove away until it turned a corner, finally swallowing his figure completely by the street scene of Shenzhen.

Liu Qingning remained standing still until her vision blurred and her eyes reddened.

She stubbornly raised her head, gently wiped the moisture from the corner of her eyes, and turned back to the empty, flat-roofed apartment.

His slippers were still casually placed beside the carpet; on the island counter, there was a half-finished cup of black coffee; in the corner of the sofa, the book he had been reading lay quietly...

Tears finally welled up uncontrollably and spilled onto the floor tiles with a "plop, plop" sound.

After a long time.

She walked over, wiping away her tears as she carefully cleaned up the traces.

Standing in front of the north-facing floor-to-ceiling window, her gaze swept over the coastal boulevard, the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau Expressway, and Shenyun Road…

It was as if he was silently estimating where he was at that moment.

"Ring ring—" The cell phone rang, breaking the silence.

Liu Qingning glanced down at the screen.

[CEO - Ye Hanwen]

She quickly composed herself and answered the phone: "Hello, Mr. Ye."

Ye Hanwen, the president of Qingning Technology, is a renowned figure in the field of artificial intelligence and a scientist.

He has made outstanding achievements in areas such as AI large models, multimodal systems, and intelligent search, and is a key figure in promoting the research and development and commercialization of Lime 3.0.

She had heard of him in college and had always held him in high esteem.

"Hey? Lime, did I bother you?"

"No, please speak."

“I originally wanted to talk to you in person yesterday, but you took the day off. Things are a bit urgent now, so I can only talk to you this weekend.” He paused, then his tone became serious: “Qingmi AI is now in normal iteration, and there is an extremely important project that requires you to personally lead the Qingmi AI team to handle.”

"What project?"

"You know about the Xuanji Light Realm, right?"

After thinking for a moment, Liu Qingning said, "Tangyi Precision's holding subsidiary focuses on AR glasses and is very well-known in the industry."

The reason she knows so much is because Liu Shuang is Tangyi Precision's AI engineer.

I have also participated in some software support.

"That's good. Their first-generation product is about to be launched, and Tangyi intends to launch a new round of financing and also hopes to introduce deeper cooperation in more fields..."

Ye Hanwen continued speaking.

Liu Qingning subconsciously turned on the record button on her phone and listened intently.

Soon, her mind was completely engaged.

Smart glasses, as a new generation of smart terminals that integrate artificial intelligence, AR and IoT technologies, are poised to become the next technological trend and a core node in the interactive revolution.

This is also one of the key directions for the application of Qingning Technology's large-scale models.

With Tangyi Precision's breakthroughs in Micro LED, chips and computing power, Xuanji Optics has begun to take on a mature product form.

This collaboration will leverage AI to create a groundbreaking terminal product.

She became more and more excited as she listened.

This is not only a crucial technical verification, but also a chance for her to leapfrog ahead in her career.

Her reasons for staying in Shenzhen and at Qingning Technology included protecting Tang Song's interests and understanding his past.

But at a deeper level, there is an unspeakable obsession and stubbornness.

She was the best from a young age, and her confidence bordered on arrogance.

That's why she made the choice on her own without informing Tang Song.

Having made a promise to "meet at the summit," I climbed at my own pace without stopping.

Now, he suddenly realizes that he has already reached the summit, while he is still climbing.

That's why she stayed here alone, working tirelessly to integrate into Qingning Technology, quickly establishing communication channels with the company's senior management, and gaining access to more core resources.

Because she always longed to one day fulfill that promise and make up for the biggest regret in her heart.

At least... it can't be worse than Su Yu.

And the "Xuanji Light Realm" may be that turning point.

However, Ye Hanwen's next sentence made her heart beat faster.

"Tangzong Entertainment is also involved in this collaboration. They will work together to build content ecosystem barriers and scenario implementation capabilities, and you will be needed to coordinate this integration work."

Liu Qingning bit her lip.

finally coming?

Su Yu.

...Yancheng, Qiaoxi District, Weiguang Coffee Shop.

The glass door was gently pushed open, and a tall, voluptuous figure strode in.

A camel-colored suit paired with wide-leg trousers in the same color creates a clean silhouette, making the wearer appear full-figured without looking bulky.

Walking on the ground where light and shadow intertwine, you'll feel a relaxed and charming atmosphere.

"Hello, welcome! How can I help you?"

The waiter spoke gently, but his gaze unconsciously lingered on her a few more times.

With a slight upturn of her lips, Wen Ruo leaned forward to glance at the handwritten menu on the counter, her fingertips lightly tapping the wooden edge. "A cup of shimmering cold brew, half sugar, please."

At this time of day, the coffee shop wasn't crowded. Occasionally, two or three tables were occupied by people from nearby companies talking, and couples were whispering in the corner.

Wenruan walked slowly to the window seat and sat down.

The folds of her trench coat cascaded naturally behind her, her full legs crossed, her posture languid yet exuding captivating charm.

I picked up the freshly delivered cold brew coffee and took a small sip.

The aroma of nuts and chocolate instantly fills the mouth, while the sweetness of maple syrup lingers on the tongue, rich yet not cloying, with a subtle coolness in the finish.

Wen Ruan squinted her eyes comfortably.

His gaze slowly swept across the entire coffee shop, taking in the brand-new Glimmer Coffee with great interest.

After all, she was the one who did the marketing planning, and she had a very good understanding of the entire coffee shop's structure and atmosphere.

Unlike previous business-oriented coffee shops, this newly opened premium store in Qiaoxi District is only 60 square meters in size, but it is warm and bright enough.

A few minutes later.

The shop door was pushed open again.

"Mr. Xie!" "Good morning, Mr. Xie!"

Several employees stood up to greet him.

"Da da da--"

The rhythmic tapping of high heels on the wooden floor drew closer.

Wenruan put down her coffee cup, looked up, and saw that familiar figure.

Dark knit top, pencil skirt, nude stockings, and high heels.

She is tall and slender, with a sharp aura and bright eyes.

The footsteps stopped in front of her.

Xie Shuyu pulled out a chair and sat down gracefully. "Long time no see, Wenruan."

"It has indeed been a long time, about a month, hasn't it?"

With a gentle curve of his red lips, he gazed at her exquisite yet somewhat tired makeup, observing her discreetly.

She knew all along that Xie Shuyu was a typical workaholic, the busier she was, the more excited she became, with no boundaries to her personal life.

In the past, when they worked together, she was quite overwhelmed by this "female devil." Fortunately, now that their positions have changed, this stubbornness seems quite endearing.

It’s better to be busy!

Both of them are older women, and she was genuinely worried that this female CEO would steal her "food".

Xie Shuyu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Tang Song is on a business trip in Shenzhen, right?"

"Hmm." Wen Ruan raised her wrist to check the time and smiled, "We should be heading to Hong Kong by now. We'll take the high-speed rail and arrive at 10:59."

Xie Shuyu paused, her expression somewhat unnatural, "Hmm."

She was never a good lover; she didn't contact me frequently, nor could she always keep me in touch. At most, she would update me on my schedule and exchange a few words of greeting each day.

Of course, what really embarrassed her was—

She is currently talking to another woman she knows about the same "boyfriend".

After a brief silence, Wen Ruan broke the quiet and said softly, "The new cold brew is really good, it tastes great. Is the nationwide branch plan for Weiguang Coffee almost finished?"

Xie Shuyu's eyes lit up instantly. "Yes, publicity is crucial, especially since this covers the whole country. We'll have to trouble Nebula International to step in."

This is also the core reason why she took the initiative to arrange a meeting with Wen Ruan.

The previous collaboration was a contract signed with Guangying Media, which allowed them to mobilize some resources, but it was far less efficient than Wenruan personally taking charge.

Not to mention, Wen Ruan is Tang Song's girlfriend, and Tang Song also holds shares in Weiguang Coffee.

At this moment, nepotism becomes the most effective weapon.

As she spoke, she quickly switched to work mode and began to talk at length about the entire plan.

He even asked the waiter to bring him paper and pen so he could write and draw.

More than half an hour later.

The conversation has come to a temporary end.

Wen Ruan suddenly asked, "Mr. Xie, do you have any plans for lunch?"

Xie Shuyu shook her head and said, "No."

"How about we come to my place for a meal? We can chat over time."

Xie Shuyu was slightly taken aback, looking into Wen Ruan's eyes thoughtfully.

They were both adults and friends, so she naturally understood what Wenruan meant.

This is an attempt to improve one's relationship with oneself and cultivate a "positive connection."

After a moment of silence, she said softly, "Okay, then I'll take my leave... Don't call me President Xie in private anymore, just call me by my name."

“Okay, Mr. Xie,” Wen Ruan replied earnestly.

Xie Shuyu burst out laughing when she heard her address.

The atmosphere immediately lightened considerably.

She smiled gently on the surface, but couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

She had no choice but to take the initiative.

Immediately enter the Tang Jin family office, where you will face the "palace intrigue" between Director Jin and Su Yu.

If I don't find some comrades to "fight landmines" with, I'll really be living in fear.

So far, she only has one daughter, Lingling.

Although Boss Xie is a bit thin, his ability and character are beyond reproach.

At this moment.

"Ring ring—" The cell phone rang.

[Administrative Assistant - Wang Dandan]

Wen Ruan nodded to Xie Shuyu and answered the phone, "Hello, Dandan."

"Chairman Wen, good morning." Wang Dandan's voice was as clear and pleasant as ever. "I just received a notification from the board secretary that the group will be holding an extraordinary board meeting next Monday."

"Oh?" Wen Ruan raised an eyebrow. "About what?"

"This involves an important investment. 'Xuanji Optics,' a holding company under Tangyi Precision, will launch its Series A financing round, and our group has the opportunity to participate."

"Tangyi Precision? Xuanji Optical Realm?" Wen Ruan raised her eyebrows. "What other companies are there?"

"Wait a moment." Wang Dandan flipped through the documents and replied after a moment: "Rongliu Capital, Dejurenhe, Tangzong Entertainment, and Qingning Technology."

Wen Ruan took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently.

Good guy.

She knew things weren't that simple.

Is this an attempt to expose more facts to Liu Qingning?
Are they also forming an "alliance" to force Director Kim to step down?
Are you kidding me... Can't I just not participate?

(ノ=Д=)ノ┻━┻
……

Shenzhen North Station.

Inside the business waiting room, the atmosphere was quiet and orderly, with only occasional whispers and the sound of suitcase wheels scraping against the floor.

Tang Song sat in a leather chair in the corner, reading a copy of National Geographic with great interest.

A uniformed staff member approached, bowed slightly, and said in a gentle and polite tone, "Mr. Tang, the train is about to arrive. You may enter the station now."

"OK, thanks."

Tang Song nodded, picked up his suitcase, and, guided by staff, passed through the exclusive passage and the business ticket gate.

"Mr. Tang, your carriage is the third one ahead. Please come this way."

"Watch your step."

I walked to the platform area in an orderly manner.

"Rumble--"

A deep rumble of thunder rolled across the sky.

Tang Song then noticed that, without realizing it, a fine drizzle had begun to fall from the sky.

A gentle breeze swept by, carrying a hint of dampness and coolness.

Tang Song looked up at the sky, then took out his Bluetooth earphones from his pocket and put them on.

Double-tap the headphone touch area.

"BGM: Just because I glanced at you in the crowd, I could never forget your face..."

Faye Wong's unique and ethereal voice slowly rose, and "Legend" lingered in my ears.

He looked down, turned on his phone screen, and began replying to unread messages one by one.

Passengers in the surrounding area gradually entered the station.

A light drizzle fell, and the train's arrival announcement rang out in the distance.

...

Raindrops fell through the gaps in the steel roof structure, leaving shallow watermarks on the ground.

"Hey, Zhang Yan," Lulu muttered softly, clutching her backpack, "What else do you think we can do besides this? What are your plans?"

"I...I haven't decided yet."

"Sigh, never mind, when we get to Guangzhou, let's have some hot pot first. A spicy one might help us sober up."

Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

What she really wanted to do was go back, pick up the oranges, and cook a pot of hot rice.

But she could sense Lulu's expectation, so she didn't have the heart to refuse.

The two walked slowly along the edge of the platform and finally stopped in front of the last carriage.

They stood leaning against a pillar, talking in hushed tones.

The rain and mist obscured the sunlight, weaving a hazy halo in the air.

Before they knew it, a few young girls speaking Cantonese appeared next to them.

They chattered softly, their voices filled with barely suppressed amazement.

"Hey, is this that celebrity?"

"Her profile is so beautiful!"

"She has an charisma that surpasses even the Heavenly King..."

...

Several girls turned their gazes toward a certain direction on the opposite platform, one of them even secretly taking pictures with a phone equipped with a telephoto lens.

Lulu was drawn by the noise and curiously looked up.

The next second, he almost held his breath.

In the rain and mist, a tall figure stood on the opposite platform.

He was wearing a caramel-colored sweater and dark gray suit trousers, with a straight posture and well-defined shoulders and back.

His dark, tousled hair was gently ruffled by the wind, and his silhouette was blurred by the rain.

It's as if there's a thin film separating it from the surrounding noise, making it both languid and intellectual.

It looks just like a high-end promotional poster for an art film.

"Look!" Lulu nudged Zhang Yan with her elbow, her voice low but filled with excitement. "There's a super handsome guy over there! Look! He's the kind of guy you'd never dream of, he's absolutely... amazing!"

Zhang Yan smiled shyly and didn't turn around to look.

Instead, he secretly touched the two Dragon Ball books in his backpack, seemingly deep in thought.

"Oh, don't be shy, look! I'm not lying to you!" Lulu grabbed her arm.

Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment, then slowly turned around.

...

"BGM: I dream of meeting you again someday by chance, and from then on, I began to miss you in solitude..."

Tang Song put away his phone and slowly raised his head.

"Rumble--"

A silver-gray high-speed train pulled into the station.

The sound of wind, carrying a light rain, swept across the entire platform.

Zhang Yan subconsciously raised her hand to shield her eyes from the damp wind.

Her gaze traveled across the railway tracks, through the station sign and the rain and mist, and she could only see the outline of a dark figure gradually blurring in the wind.

Then, they disappeared behind the window of the speeding car.
