Chapter 695 Xiaojing's Vow Collar

"Yaoyao? Yaoyao? Are you alright?"

Seeing her friend completely stunned beside her, Qian Lele gently touched her arm.

She was still a little confused about the situation.

For some reason, a simple email address and name could elicit such a strong reaction from Ding Yao, who is usually very easygoing.

Ding Yao stiffly turned her head.

That face, always adorned with exquisite makeup, flushed red at a visible speed.

"Lele! Lele!" She grabbed Qian Lele's hand, her breath coming in short gasps, "Miss Tian... she... the person she recommended for me... is Mo Xiangwan!"

“Mo Xiangwan…?” Qian Lele repeated the name, still somewhat bewildered.

In the past, her daily life was filled with studies and countless part-time jobs.

They're already doing their best just to make a living, so where would they find the energy to chase after celebrities or gossip?
My understanding of the entertainment industry mostly comes from Ding Yao's daily科普 (popular science) explanations.

However, I didn't really keep it in mind.

Because those things are too far, far away from her.

"It's the one I've been telling you about all this time!" Ding Yao's voice rose uncontrollably. "Su Yu's former manager! The legendary woman who single-handedly elevated Su Yu to stardom! Now the CEO of [Tangzong Entertainment]!"

A thunderous roar echoed in Qian Lele's mind.

She looked at Tian Jing, who was looking down at her phone, incredulously.

So... the person she casually introduced was actually the CEO of [Tangzong Entertainment]?

Of course, she wouldn't doubt the truth of the matter.

After all, they had no reason to deceive me, especially since Zhao Yaqian was personally endorsing me.

For a moment, Qian Lele's mind was in turmoil.

It was filled with complex panic and bewilderment.

In fact, "internal referrals" are quite common.

Ding Yao mentioned that Tangzong Entertainment is a top-tier entertainment company.

There are many internship openings every year, and as long as there are reliable internal channels, it is not too difficult for students from key art colleges like theirs.

So when Ding Yao spoke just now, she didn't feel too embarrassed.

But she never expected that the connection that "Sister Jing" casually offered was of such an "all-powerful" level.

This is no longer a simple act of "helping".

This is an incredibly big favor.

She is a person with a very strong sense of self-respect and is extremely unwilling to owe others anything.

She always tries to repay even the smallest kindness tenfold.

She didn't even dare to accept kindness that exceeded her means.

Because once you accept it, you'll feel like you'll always owe them something.

There's always a knot in my heart.

They would even feel embarrassed to have normal, equal interactions with the other party in the future.

This is how she was when facing the Tang and Song dynasties.

The limit she could accept was that secondhand MacBook and this part-time job with a monthly salary of 2,500 yuan.

Just as Qian Lele was struggling with an internal conflict.

Ding Yao, who was standing to the side, was already gripping her phone tightly and excitedly stood up from the sofa!

She bowed deeply to Tian Jing and Zhao Yaqian.

"Thank you, Ms. Tian! Thank you, Ms. Qian! I really... I'm so grateful to you both!"

"Oh, no need to be so polite." Zhao Yaqian quickly got up to help her.

Xiao Jing remained seated there calmly.

With her eyebrows slightly raised, a smile appeared on her sweet and obedient face that was both friendly and carried a hint of "superior" air.

She first reached out and tugged at Qian Lele's hand, then said to Ding Yao, "Don't be so polite. Lele is my sister, and you're Lele's best friend. This is nothing to be ashamed of."

Upon hearing her words, Qian Lele's lips moved slightly, and her gaze gradually lowered.

Ding Yao picked up her wine glass, her face flushed, and said, "Thank you, Miss Tian. Lele and I have known each other for over two years, and we've always been best friends. I... I'd like to propose a toast to you! I'll drink to that first!"

After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank the champagne in his glass in one gulp.

"Let's have a drink together, we've had such a great time today." Xiaojing elegantly raised her glass.

He smiled and gestured to Qianqian and Lele, who were still looking down beside him.

Qian Lele hesitated for a moment, but finally raised her glass as well.

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

"Ding~ding~ding~"

Three crystal glasses, sparkling and clear, gently touched each other in mid-air, producing a crisp sound.

The slightly cool and sour wine slid into her mouth, and Qian Lele felt a mix of emotions.

Ding Yao, now completely relaxed, excitedly introduced her major to the two "big shots" and recounted her heartwarming memories with Qian Lele in university clubs.

Clearly, she wanted to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make the best impression on the other party.

Zhao Yaqian listened with great interest.

Although she disliked studying and reading, she really loved the pure and vibrant atmosphere of the university campus.

Not being able to go to university is one of the regrets in her life.

Making friends with Qian Lele, a college student of the same age, was largely a way to make up for this regret, and the feelings were genuine.

Xiao Jing seemed somewhat absent-minded.

Her eyes flickered as she looked at the latest message on WeChat.

[Sister Xiang Wan: "Let's talk about the specifics when you meet. I can't say for sure right now. But don't worry, Su Yu has no ill intentions towards you."]

When I saw the message from Mo Xiangwan.

She knew then that her suspicions had been confirmed.

Su Yu... is definitely a member of Lord Tang Song's harem!
With her intelligence, she had already guessed it.

An international film star, a walking spotlight, hailed as the "Nuwa Goddess's graduation project"—the most beautiful woman in the Asia-Pacific region, a top-tier succubus…

Let alone men, even she, a woman, was not spared.

Every time I see Su Yu's photos, my heart races.

How could Tang and Song officials possibly not have improper thoughts?
It's worth noting that Su Yu was the first "S-level artist" and top-tier singer signed by [Tangzong Entertainment] at its inception.

And [Tangzong Entertainment] is clearly the business of Lord Tang Song.

All the clues—

From Mo Xiangwan's attitude to Echo's birthday celebration, and then to that sudden invitation to meet.

They all point to the same truth:
Su Yu, the god who stands at the top of the entertainment industry pyramid.

She is a perfect "female idol" carefully cultivated and manipulated behind the scenes by Tang and Song officials using silk threads!
Perhaps, it was also the most unique, dazzling, and dangerous existence in his life.

And now, the "S-class female doll" in Lord Tang Song's hands is actually coming to meet her, the "A-class female doll"!

What unspeakable, taboo story lies hidden behind this?!
Anticipation, nervousness, fear, excitement, trembling...

A jumble of complex emotions intertwined within Xiao Jing, creating a dizzying wave of excitement.

Su Yu! That's Su Yu!
The aurora of the entertainment industry.

A miracle on stage.

A perfect aura, flawless beauty, and an impeccable manga-like figure...

It can cause the lens to go out of focus, making it feel like a bug!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder with excitement.

Legs pressed tightly together.

[As expected! As expected, Brother Tang Song is indeed the devilish big boss!]

[He might even... just treat the girl group Echo, which I admire, as his puppets!]

Just like the rumors circulating online... while the beautiful girl group idols are dancing energetically on a stage under the spotlight, the real mastermind is sitting in front of a screen, remotely controlling their every move, admiring their most beautiful performances that they put on for him alone...

[Oh my god... this is... this is too insane!]

Xiaojing loves it!

(//▽//)
……

In the lounge.

The languid melody of the jazz gradually faded away.

Instead, a live band performed R&B love songs.

The female singer's slightly husky voice flowed gently through the air of the lounge.

Like a gentle wine, it permeates the night and the lamplight, inducing a touch of intoxication.

"Yaoyao," Qian Lele gently nudged her friend beside her, "It's getting late, shouldn't we... go back?"

"Huh?" Ding Yao was taken aback when she heard this. She glanced at her phone and saw that it was not yet 9 o'clock.

But when she saw her friend's tired expression, she didn't insist anymore.

"Okay, let's go then. I need to go back and work on my portfolio, I'll send the resume over tonight!"

The two quickly packed their things and headed towards the booth where Zhao Yaqian and Tian Jing were.

"Qianqian, Sister Xiaojing, thank you so much for today. It's getting late, and I have class tomorrow, so I'll head back now."

“Alright, we have a designated driver service here. I’ll arrange it for you.” Zhao Yaqian didn’t insist on staying. She waved to the waiter beside her and said, “Go and get the membership cards prepared for Miss Ding and Miss Qian.”

Soon, two metal membership cards gleaming with a dark gold luster were handed over.

Qian Lele bit her lip and accepted the gift along with Ding Yao.

Anyway, as long as I don't come, it won't have any impact.

Before parting, Xiaojing gave her another warm hug and said sweetly and gently, "Lele, if anything happens to you at school, you can call me anytime. I'll come visit you when I'm done with this. Bye-bye."

"Okay...bye." Qian Lele nodded stiffly.

The moment the elevator doors closed.

She finally let out a long breath.

The whole person relaxed.

The tension, like being swept away by a giant wave, gradually dissipated.

What replaced it, however, was an indescribable sense of loss and confusion.

She leaned against the elevator wall, lost in thought.

She never imagined that Qianqian was also her brother's girlfriend.

Moreover, he got along very well with Tian Jing.

She didn't understand what this meant; she just felt her head was spinning and her chest felt tight.

All I wanted to do was leave as soon as possible.

"Ding--"

The elevator came to a smooth stop on the first floor, and the sleek metal doors slid open slowly.

The two walked out side by side, accompanied by a waiter from the club.

The night wind swept over me, carrying the chill of a winter night.

Qian Lele shivered and pulled the collar of her down jacket even tighter.

He ducked and climbed into the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz GLE.

She subconsciously squeezed the membership card in the lining of her bag, and then glanced back at the exquisite and luxurious TC Private Club.

The car starts.

Her gaze was fixed on the night sky ahead.

Tomorrow is Tuesday.

There's an important "Operating System Principles" class at 8:00 AM, so I can't be late.

This afternoon, I'm going to the headquarters office of [Weiguang Coffee] to complete the latest version of the website iteration.

In the evenings, I also need to take some time to check the models, purchase channels, and modification plans for electric tricycles.

Then, she helped her mother find a more professional dough mixer and electric griddle online for making roujiamo (Chinese hamburger)... She still has many, many trivial yet important things to do.

That radiant world, though enchanting.

But right now, she's just a passerby, tiptoeing through the crowd.

……

They watched Qian Lele's figure disappear.

Xiao Jing looked away, leaned closer to Zhao Yaqian, and asked with bright eyes, "By the way, Qianqian, where do you live?"

“Xinggu County in Decheng, Shandong Province,” Zhao Yaqian replied casually.

"Uh—I mean, where do you live now?"

"Oh, Yanjing Huating." The beautician was completely unsuspecting.

Upon hearing that familiar name, Xiao Jing's eyes widened instantly.

"Which building number?!"

"Building Six, what's wrong?"

"Wow—!!!" Xiaojing excitedly hugged her, her voice full of surprise, "That's great! My home is in Building 1 of Yanjing Huating! It's so close! I can come visit you more often now! You can come to my house anytime!"

Zhao Yaqian was taken aback by her sudden enthusiasm. "Huh? What...what a coincidence?"

"Yes! This is fate~" Xiaojing smiled brightly and sweetly, her voice soft and gentle.

On the surface, she seemed like a kind older sister who had discovered a new neighbor.

But in her mind, all sorts of strange and wonderful scenarios had already begun to unfold.

That's it!

Brother Tang Song had already arranged everything!
He not only arranged for us to meet, but also set our 'coordinates' so close in advance!
This is no ordinary coincidence; it's foreshadowing for the plot!
It's so that we can easily carry out 'team missions' and 'combo attacks' in the future!

Then, we can go to the community's outdoor fitness area together in the evening... to the dark underground parking lot... to the narrow stairwells...

Mission coordination, secret meetings, fighting side by side...

A blush of shyness and illness rose on Xiaojing's face.

My legs involuntarily came together.

Zhao Yaqian looked at the suddenly blushing, wealthy and beautiful woman with a somewhat bewildered expression.

But she still smiled happily.

She was still young, only nineteen years old.

She still retains some of the innocence of a young girl.

It's great to meet new friends, get along well with them, and live nearby.
She genuinely enjoyed the joy of being "recognized".

Taking advantage of the pleasant atmosphere, Xiao Jing leaned closer and wrapped her arm around her waist in an extremely intimate manner.

Her tone was so gentle it was like a whisper: "Qianqian, I overheard you guys talking just now. You said that [Isa Beauty] is going to shift towards the high-end anti-aging market, right?"

“Yes, that’s right,” Zhao Yaqian’s expression became serious when she talked about her career. “We are currently working with a laboratory in France on a new project, which mainly involves biopeptides and nano-skin rejuvenation technology. However, the initial investment costs are too high, and the channels for high-end consumables are also complicated. We are still in the demonstration stage.”

“I see.” Xiaojing smiled elegantly and confidently. “I’ve recently taken over some new resources. There’s a top-tier private club in Ginza, Tokyo. The anti-aging center we’re working with uses Sakura’s most cutting-edge technology, and the results are excellent. If you’re interested, Qianqian, I can arrange for the lab director to have an online technical exchange meeting with you next week.”

"Really? Thank you, Xiaojing!"

"You're welcome. Aren't we best friends? From now on, your problems are my problems."

At that moment, all of Zhao Yaqian's defenses were completely washed away by a warm current.

I gave this beautiful and wealthy friend a sincere hug.

A sweet smile appeared on Xiaojing's face.

【Master's Mission 1: Establish a close social relationship with the new sister】

[Progress...100%]

……

Sichuan Province, Qingcheng County, Tianxi Hotel.

This is the only officially recognized five-star hotel in the county.

On the top floor, in the executive suite with the best view.

"Oh my! Qiuqiu, come and see! This bathroom... is even bigger than our living room!"

"And this projector! It's mounted on the wall, just like a movie theater screen!"

Li Meihua touched this and looked at that, constantly making "tsk tsk tsk" sounds of amazement.

Today, she and her daughter were escorted by bodyguards in black suits in a Mercedes-Benz, traveling in Bentleys and Maybachs arranged by Tang Song.

They made their way back to the small county where she was born and raised.

The old house hadn't been cleaned for many years, so it was definitely uninhabitable.

She was still thinking about where to stay.

When they arrived, they discovered that Tang Song had not only booked the best hotel in the area in advance, but also arranged a super luxurious dinner.

At this moment, looking down at the sparse night view of the county town.

She felt as if every pore on her body was opening up.

I haven't received a reply from my daughter yet.

Li Meihua turned around, looked at her daughter who was staring blankly at the ground, and couldn't help but lean closer.

He said excitedly, "Qiuqiu, what do you think... when we go back to the village tomorrow, should we ask Xiao Tang to drive his car right to the courtyard? Let your uncle and aunt have a good look at it! Let's see if they dare to gossip about their wives behind their backs again!"

However, Qiuqiu just lowered her head and absentmindedly hummed in response.

Her eyes were somewhat unfocused.
They were still completely immersed in the sudden tenderness and companionship of Tang and Song.

Throughout the journey, she and Tang Song sat alone in the Bentley.

He patiently guided and encouraged her, talking to her about Su Shi, music, and design...

They had never been this close before.

She felt as if he was gradually soothing away the unease and fear that were weighing on her heart.

Looking at her daughter's absent-minded appearance.

Li Meihua finally couldn't hold back and asked in a low voice, "Qiuqiu, tell Mom the truth, what exactly is your relationship with that Xiao Tang?"

Qiuqiu's body stiffened, and she subconsciously replied, "He is my boss."

"Oh dear! That's not what I meant!" Li Meihua exclaimed anxiously. "I meant... in private! I heard from Xiao Gao that Xiao Tang... is he your boyfriend? He's going back to the village tomorrow, and with so many relatives and friends there, we need to know how to introduce him to them!"

"...I already said! It's not that kind of relationship!" Qiuqiu's voice was filled with panic and shyness.

"How could it not be!" Li Meihua poked her head in exasperation. "Do you think your mother is stupid? He helped us so much, hiring lawyers and bodyguards, and now he's even traveled all this way to this rural village to pay respects at our graves! If he didn't have feelings for you, why would he do something so unprofitable?!"

"I...we..." Qiuqiu couldn't continue.

Li Meihua's eyes darted around, and she quickly went to a corner, rummaged through her bag, pulled out a fairly nice packet of tea, and stuffed it into Qiuqiu's hand.

"This was a gift from Aunt Wang when she came to visit me last time. She said it was good tea." As she spoke, she pushed her daughter up from the sofa and urged her towards the door. "Go! Take this to Xiao Tang and let him try it. While you're at it, chat with him and tell him about our county!"

"I……"

"Oh, stop nagging, I'm just about to try out this big bathtub!"

Qiuqiu was pushed and shoved out of the room.

"Bang—" The door behind me was gently closed.

Standing on the thick carpet of the hotel, holding tea leaves in her hand, Qiuqiu felt a sense of utter turmoil in her heart.

The corridor was quiet, and she was the only one left.

The box of tea in my hand felt like a hot potato.

To go... or not to go?
What should I say next?
My mind was a jumbled mess, but my feet wouldn't obey me and I took a few steps.

When she came to her senses, she was already standing in front of the address 1666.

Her breathing became rapid, and her palms were slightly sweaty.

I just stood there, caught in a dilemma.

Like a trapped little animal.

Will he think I'm being strange? Will he... decide not to go after all...?

Just as she was torn between her inner thoughts and her desire to turn and flee,

"Click——"

The door was pulled open from the inside.

Tang Song's figure appeared amidst the light and shadow, his shirt cuffs slightly rolled up, his expression gentle and calm.

“QQ, do we have a telepathic connection? I had a strong feeling that you would appear at the door, so I came to open the door and see.”

Qiuqiu's face instantly showed the panic of being caught red-handed.

"I...I'm here to deliver tea!"

She hurriedly raised her hand and held the box of red tea bags in front of him, as if offering a pledge of allegiance.

Tang Song chuckled lightly, not taking the tea leaves, but instead grabbing her icy wrist.

With a slight pull, he drew her in completely.

"Bang—" The door closed behind him.

Qiuqiu let out a soft cry as Tang Song pinned her against the door.

She lowered her head nervously, not daring to look at him.

“Look at me, Qiuqiu.” Tang Song’s voice was deep and magnetic.

Qiuqiu obediently raised her head, her cool eyes filled with evasiveness.

Eye contact.

Immediately afterwards, a shadow carrying his unique aura descended.

Her lips were gently captured.

Sometimes they rub against each other, sometimes they gently suckle.

Qiuqiu's body, which was initially stiff, gradually began to soften.

At this moment.

Qiuqiu suddenly opened her eyes and instinctively grabbed Tang Song's outstretched hand.

Tang Song looked at her and said softly, "I've examined it carefully. Your illness is quite complicated and requires treatment little by little. Now that you can accept this level of intimate contact, let me help you and see if I can alleviate it a bit."

"I…"

"obedient."

Listen to his irresistible words.

Qiuqiu's eyes instantly became misty, and her hands, which had been tightly gripping his, fell limply to her sides.

Tang Song took a deep breath of her sweet fragrance, feeling a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Just then, a crisp system notification sounded in my ear:

"Ding! Congratulations, player! The first task of the [Companion - Tian Jing] training program, [Identity Transformation], has been completed."

"Ding! [Companion - Tian Jing] Growth progress +10%!"

"Ding! [Companion - Tian Jing] has received [Agent Gift Pack *1]."

Tang Song's hand exerted a slight force.

With a thought, I opened the system interface and entered the [Companion] module.

The card with the exquisite illustration of Xiao Jing wearing a pure white wedding dress is in the center.

A gift bag shimmering with pink light was quietly floating there.

Pink heart-shaped bubbles kept floating up from above.

For some reason, this scene looks a bit erotic.

Select the [Agent Gift Pack] to open it immediately.

"Ding! [Companion - Tian Jing] has received the attribute reward [Constitution +2]."

"Ding! [Companion - Tian Jing] has obtained the special item [Xiao Jing's Oath Collar]."
