Chapter 91 - 91 90 Fate
Chapter 91: Chapter 90 Fate Chapter 91: Chapter 90 Fate It was 9:50 p.m.
Zhao Yaqian stepped out of the front door of Isa Beauty Salon.
The rain had completely stopped, and she, carrying an umbrella, jogged to the bus station.
After waiting for quite a while, she finally boarded the bus.
Sitting towards the back, watching scene after scene flash by the window, Zhao Yaqian felt drowsy.
As a large beauty salon, Isa’s work hours were divided into morning and evening shifts.
The morning shift ran from nine in the morning to seven at night.
The evening shift was from noon until around ten at night.
Being on probation, Zhao Yaqian was directly assigned to the evening shift, and now, during the holidays, there were many clients to attend to.
After working for two days, her overwhelming feeling was one of fatigue, much more so than at Yiz Beauty Industry.
She opened WeChat and clicked on Tang Song’s chat window.
Above was a photo of dinner she had taken herself, a boxed meal ordered with colleagues, one meat and two vegetable dishes for 14 yuan.
Below was a reply from Tang Song with an emoji.
She wondered if he was “too busy” as he said.
Zhao Yaqian could feel that in the recent period, the chats with her programmer friend were not as frequent as before.
She took a photo of the view outside the window and shared it with him, writing, “It’s 10 p.m. in Yan City, so sleepy!”
After thinking for a moment, she also sent a few selfies taken during work.
“Ding-dong—”
[Tang Song: “I was about to sleep, but suddenly I’m not sleepy anymore.”]
Zhao Yaqian laughed with a “pfft” and smilingly replied, “Then keep me company and chat a bit, there are few people on the bus, and I’m a bit scared.”
The two of them started chatting back and forth, one sentence at a time.
By the time Zhao Yaqian got off at her stop, it was already half-past ten at night.
Yawning, Zhao Yaqian immediately spotted He Liting waiting by the roadside.
Dressed in a thick hoodie and straddling an electric bike, she was waving at her.
Zhao Yaqian quickened her pace and hugged her, “Ting, you’re so good, coming to pick me up this late at night.”
“You’re just now realizing how good I am? Come on, let’s hurry home and wash up for bed, you’ve still got things going on now.”
“Yeah, gogogo.”
At this hour, there were few people on the road, and someone like Zhao Yaqian, a young and beautiful girl, walking alone was indeed unsafe.
Feeling guilty, He Liting purposely inquired about her schedule and waited here to take her home.
The electric bike started slowly, moving forward on the wet asphalt road.
Zhao Yaqian, hugging her, said with a charming voice, “Ting, I feel like I can adapt to the work at Isa, and my supervisor has a pretty good opinion of me, so once I’m official, I’ll treat you to steak buffet.”
“You’ve been saying ‘steak buffet’ for 100 years!”
“Hehe, I will definitely make good on my promise.”
“Oh right, there’s one more thing, I want to find time to give him the watch, what do you think I should say then?”
…
May 3, 2023, Wednesday, sunny, 16~26°C.
Tang Song got up early, finished his workout, took a thorough shower, did his skincare, and styled his hair.
He sat on the balcony for a while, reading “Marketing Management” recommended by Gao Mengting.
When the time was about right, he put on a Zegna suit and set the navigation to the headquarters of Glimmer Coffee.
Huayun Center, located in Chang’an District of Yan City, enjoyed a prime location and convenient transportation, not far from Cloud Stream Building.
The complex consisted of A, B, and C buildings, with the façade overall presenting a greyish-brown color, where A and B were office buildings, and Building C was a 6-floor commercial complex.
Tang Song drove into the paid parking lot on the ground level and walked through the revolving doors of Building A.
After registering at the front desk, he successfully took the elevator.
On the electronic LED screen, an ad from a gym was playing in a loop.
Looking at the words “Rhythm Fitness,” Tang Song paused, feeling an air of familiarity.
A glimmer of light flashed through his mind, and he fished out his phone from his pocket, opening Hu Mingli’s chat window.
He scrolled up through the chat history.
[…she got a yearly pass for Rhythm Fitness (Huayun Center location)…]
Tang Song’s eyebrows raised, it indeed was this place.
No wonder it felt somewhat familiar, the fitness place Wen Ruan frequented and the office of Glimmer Coffee were both in Huayun Center.
After some thought, Tang Song left a message for Hu Mingli: “Sister Mingli, is Wen Ruan’s company at Huayun Center?”
Just relying on daily aerobic exercise, it was becoming increasingly difficult to lower the body fat percentage, so going to the gym seemed like it needed to be prioritized.
Moreover, with such a sexy big sister to help, his motivation for going to the gym was even greater.
“Ding—” The elevator stopped on the 15th floor.
He walked out of the elevator, made a half-circle in the hallway, and smoothly found the company’s main entrance.
The LOGO wall was simple, with [Yan City Glimmer Coffee Co., Ltd] written on it in orange font.
Because it was a holiday, there was no one at the reception.
The decoration wasn’t high-end, but it appeared clean, orderly, spacious, and bright.
Tang Song walked in a few steps and saw a female employee at the desk near the entrance, looking down at her phone.
It seemed she heard footsteps, the female employee quickly put away her phone and looked up.
Seeing Tang Song’s appearance, a faint blush appeared on her face, and she stood up to ask, “Hello, may I help you?”
Tang Song spoke softly, “Hello, I have an appointment with President Xie, I was to meet her here at 10 o’clock.”
“Oh, what’s your name?”
“Tang Song.”
The female employee said somewhat shyly, “Please wait a moment on the sofa over there, I’ll go inform President Xie.”
After saying that, she left in quick strides.
A while later, footsteps of “tap tap tap” approached.
The female employee came to him and said, “Mr. Tang, President Xie is in a meeting in her office, she asked me to take you to human resources to sign the part-time contract first.”
“No need to be so formal, just call me Tang Song, I am the company’s part-time programmer, so we are colleagues in a way.”
“I’m Guo Siyu, a marketing specialist, this way, I’ll take you over.”
They walked along the corridor, and Guo Siyu couldn’t help but steal glances at him.
It was a pity he was part-time; otherwise, seeing a handsome guy every day would be nice.
Soon, they stopped in front of an office.
Guo Siyu pushed the door open and said, “Brother Li, another one here to sign a part-time contract, it’s Tang Song who’s in charge of our company’s technical development.”
The HR specialist sitting at the desk gave an OK gesture, “Alright, come in, let me find the contract.”
The office wasn’t large, only about thirteen or fourteen square meters.
After walking in, Tang Song noticed that there were two young girls standing inside.
They dressed simply, with light-colored backpacks, looked restrained, heads lowered, appearing to be university students.
“Tang Song, here’s your contract and confidentiality agreement, take a seat over there and look them over, and if you have any questions, we can discuss them in a bit,” said the HR specialist, pulling out the documents.
The nearest girl quickly reached out to take them and passed them to him.
“Thank you.”
The girl earnestly replied, “You’re welcome!”
Her voice was very pleasant, and Tang Song couldn’t help but take a few more glances at her.
Blue jeans, a long-sleeved loose T-shirt, with a white coat over it.
An oval face, pure and bare-faced, with bright and delicate features, her pretty eyes slightly upturned at the ends, extremely beautiful.
“Qian Lele.”
The pretty girl quickly responded, “Here!”
“This one is yours!” The HR specialist handed her a thick file bag, smiling, “Okay, you two students, your paperwork is all set, remember to affix a headshot on your work ID.
Next Monday, the store manager will schedule your shifts.”
What do you think?
