Chapter 2305 - 735: Private Territory (Part 2)

"It’s quite the coincidence."

"Do you live in Building 4 too?"

"No, my teacher lives here. I’m just visiting... to find her."

"Oh, okay, what a pity." Lingling sighed with some regret, then laughingly patted her shoulder, "We’re off to eat, bye-bye."

"Bye-bye."

...

After finishing breakfast, she returned to the rental room.

Saw Lingling was about to take a shower.

Qiuqiu quickly reminded her, "Lingling, be careful. That wall-mounted boiler seems to have some issues; the temperature is very unstable and suddenly becomes extremely hot."

Lingling paused for a moment, then said immediately, "I need to find my senior and ask her for the contact details of the after-sales personnel, since this was just replaced and should still be under warranty."

While talking.

Lingling picked up her phone and noticed an unread message.

[Su Yu’s April: "Lingling, I’ve arrived in Yan City today. Tomorrow, should I come to find you and Qiuqiu for some fun? (#Expecting)" ]

Lingling bursted out laughing and handed the screen over to Qiuqiu.

"Look, this drama queen is really coming! Now I’m quite interested in her. I really want to see whose face is so thick, haha." She paused and, lowering her voice, said in a tone as if watching a show, "She’s definitely coming for Tang Song."

Qiuqiu whispered, "Isn’t President Tang abroad?"

"Yeah! That’s why it’s funny!" Lingling was overjoyed, "She’s going to be disappointed, coming here but won’t see her Attractive Man. Wasted trip, it’s hilarious."

Lingling laughed as she quickly replied to the message, "No problem, welcome to Yan City. Tomorrow I’ll take you to some delicious places. (#Beer)"

After sending it, she opened Xu Qing’s chat box.

Left a message: "Senior~ Are you busy? The wall-mounted boiler seems to have a problem. Do you have the contact details of any after-sales repair person?" ]

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

[Xu Qing: "Hold on, I’ll find it and send it to you later."]

Putting down the phone, Lingling winked at Qiuqiu, "WhatsApp, want to take a shower together? I’ll scrub your back."

Saying that, she looked mischievously at her big D.

"No need." Qiuqiu blushed and quickly stepped into her room.

Watching her back.

Lingling felt a sense of appreciation. During this time, she had personally watched as Qiuqiu gradually became more cheerful, now joking freely.

That’s great.

...

Lanfeng International Apartment, Room 2202.

After sending the after-sales contact details.

She heard a shout from outside the door: "Qingqing, hurry up and pack your things, time for work!"

"Coming!" Xu Qing responded, rolled over, and sat up from her bed.

Put on her clothes and jacket.

After tidying things up, she donned her new watch and rushed out the door.

The two of them took the elevator straight to basement level B1.

Just seated in that flashy Aston Martin DB11, the engine ignited.

"Ring ring ring—" The phone rang suddenly.

[Wen Ruan]

Shen Yuyan on the passenger seat slightly turned, gesturing with her eyes, whispered, "Put it on speaker."

Xu Qing fumbled to hit the speaker button and answered the call, "Hello? Sister Wen Ruan?"

"Qingqing, have you eaten?" Wen Ruan’s voice came lazily with a hint of laughter from the other end.

"I ate, just heading to the company now. Is there something up?"

"Well, I’m actually returning to Yan City from Imperial City this afternoon," Wen Ruan’s tone was casual, "and I’d like to invite you to dinner at my place."

Not again?! Damn it (‵o′)凸

Xu Qing immediately became alert, her PTSD almost triggered.

The first time she went there, she met the creepy Jing; the second time, she met the pure Zhang Yan...

Wen Ruan’s house seems to be a chaotic scene generating machine!

"Sister Wen Ruan...today, today might not be convenient. I’ve got plans tonight, how about..."

"Oh?" Wen Ruan directly interrupted her excuses, "Aside from us, there’s an executive from [Tangzong Entertainment]. You know, [Tangzong] is a major shareholder of [Star Cloud International]. They specifically asked to meet you, the ’golden screenwriter,’ future minor shareholder, for a personal introduction. Are you sure... you’re not coming?"

With that one sentence, Xu Qing’s options to back out were completely shut down.

Beside her, Shen Yuyan immediately patted her thigh and pointed to herself, silently mouthing, "Take me along!"

Xu Qing jolted and quickly said, "Alright then, it’s just that I, well, I have plans with my bestie tonight, how about I bring her along?"

"Oh? It’s Yanyan, isn’t it?" Wen Ruan’s voice carried a tinge of peculiarity.

"Yeah, yeah! It’s Yanyan!"

"Alright, no problem." Wen Ruan agreed unexpectedly swiftly, "See you tonight then."

"See you tonight, Sister Wen Ruan."

After hanging up, Xu Qing immediately patted her modest chest, letting out a sigh of relief.

"Yanyan, are you really going with me? No backing out!"

"Mm, don’t worry." Shen Yuyan laughed lightly, nodding, eyes twinkling.

[Tangzong Entertainment]’s executive...

She had already vaguely pieced together the connection between Tang Song and Tangzong Entertainment, yet lacked definite proof.

This time, they actually asked through Wen Ruan to meet Xu Qing, this small unknown.

Clearly, there’s something deeper going on.

The person is very likely another key character by Tang Song’s side.

What’s TA’s relationship to Tang Song?

Is it a business partner?

Is it a confidant?

Or... another woman by Tang Song’s side?

Shen Yuyan deeply inhaled, gently pressing her chest.

It wasn’t jealousy, but rather an intense sense of competition stirred within her.

And she never feared competition.

Of course, there’s another very important reason.

She also wanted to actively engage, establishing good relations with Tang Song’s other women.
