Chapter 188 - 188 164 Whisper of Human Nature Bentley
?Chapter 188: 164 Chapter “Whisper of Human Nature”, Bentley Continental Chapter 188: 164 Chapter “Whisper of Human Nature”, Bentley Continental He connected the call.
A familiar voice came through the receiver, “Hello, Song, how have you been lately?”
“Pretty good, and you? Have you dealt with the school stuff yet?”
“I’ll have my defense next Monday, and then I’m pretty much free, ready to work seriously,” Lu Ziming said, sounding very relaxed.
For him, now officially employed at Tiancheng Capital, graduation was the beginning of a new chapter in life, with a bright future ahead.
The two chatted briefly about recent events.
Lu Ziming began, “Xie Shuyu called my sister specially today, nearly showered you with praises and even thanked me for introducing you to her. I know President Xie well; she never compliments someone for no reason. Looks like you’ve made a great impression, Song. You’ve made me proud.”
Tang Song chuckled, “We indeed get along really well, and Suyu takes great care of me.”
After the roadshow, she directly handed out a ten thousand yuan red packet and even increased my part-time fee to 8000 yuan.
From the standpoint of Xie Shuyu, she had done quite well already.
“Damn, Song! I feel like you’re smirking so cunningly, you’re not thinking of attaching yourself to a rich woman, are you?” Lu Ziming’s voice came through the receiver clamorously, “I’m not trying to put you down, brother, but she’s out of your league. You really don’t stand a chance!”
The two teased each other back and forth.
Tang Song said, “By the way, Ziming, I’m not renting that apartment at Fresh Home anymore, I’ll have moved out by the end of the month.”
He had moved to Yan City in November and had settled into that apartment.
However, Lu Ziming had been considerate by starting the contract from December, with rent paid every six months and no deposit required.
That would be half a year by the end of May.
Now that he had his own place, there was no need to keep it any longer.
Lu Ziming expressed surprise, “What happened?”
“I changed my job location recently, and Fresh Home is a bit far, so I moved,” he replied.
Lu Ziming paused and then said, “Alright, take your time moving out. I’m not renting that apartment out anyway; just give me the keys when you’re done.”
“OK, thanks.”
“No need for thanks.” Lu Ziming casually added, “Oh, there is another thing. Next week Qiu Yu is coming to Yan City for a business trip, and she’s arranged a dinner with a few old classmates on the 26th, Friday night. Do you want to come along too?”
“Qiu Yu?” Tang Song muttered, then laughed, “Nah, I think I’ll pass. We aren’t that close, and she didn’t invite me, so I’d rather not intrude on the fun.”
Qiu Yu was quite popular in their major; though not extremely beautiful, she stood out in their software engineering field.
During college, Tang Song didn’t really interact with her, they weren’t even WeChat friends.
“Alright, I knew it was pointless to ask you,” Lu Ziming chuckled, “You’re smart and driven, if only you were a bit more outgoing, you might already have a girlfriend.”
“Anyway, I need to go prepare for my defense. I’ll call Lv Kai later, and we can gather by ourselves.”
“Sure, bye.”
After hanging up, Tang Song took a sip of cold beer and stood up from the sofa.
Through the heavy clouds outside the window, he could vaguely see a few twinkling stars.
He stood in silence for a while before suddenly striding towards the study.
First, he took out the sketch of Secretary Jin from the bookshelf, then grabbed the action camera and the guitar, and headed to the bedroom.
He stuck the sketch on the glass curtain wall of the balcony, fixed the camera on a tripod, adjusted the shooting angle, and started recording.
Tang Song held the guitar, leaned against the glass curtain wall next to the sketch, and began to strum and sing softly.
?BGM: I Can
Accompany you to see the stars
No need to explain much more
I just want to be with you…?
His singing skills weren’t high, but his rich musical knowledge combined with a pleasant voice made this slow, lyrical song sound very nice.
Today was Secretary Jin’s birthday, and ever since he discovered her actual existence, Tang Song couldn’t wait to meet her.
This NPC, who bore much of his affection for the game, seemed to him more like a star hanging high in the night sky.
She was both his goal and his direction.
After finishing the song, Tang Song exported the video, did a simple edit on his phone, and directly posted the full singing video to TikTok.
If she could receive his birthday gift, she should be able to see this video as well.
…
May 21, 2023, Sunday, partly cloudy, 16~24°C.
At about 8:30 in the morning, while reading in his study, Tang Song suddenly stopped what he was doing.
“Shush!” A system screen automatically unfolded in front of him.
[May 20, 2023, you achieved the goal of having over ten thousand followers on Little Red Book]
[You can now be considered a junior influencer (KOL), your voice has some influence in a small circle, you have successfully created a personal IP, having certain commercial value, content dissemination, user trust…]
[You have obtained a special item “Whisper of Human Nature”]
He checked the item details.
[Whisper of Human Nature]: When the player encounters suitable scenarios and subjects, the item will automatically trigger, generating a special event instance, completion of which will help the player better understand human nature, +1 Charm.
Seeing the description of the item, Tang Song gripped his beer can a bit harder; it was an item that directly rewarded charm score!
[Event instance] is a special mode in the game, often only requiring one special event to clear, short time with high rewards.
The only problem was that the item could not be triggered actively.
He took out his phone and opened Little Red Book.
Looking at the follower count of 10,000, Tang Song smiled and took a screenshot as a keepsake.
