Saturday, May 6, 2023. Partly cloudy, 13~25°C.
Although today was Saturday, it was still a working day.
At 7:00 AM, Sun Youguang got up on ti. He went to the kitchen, sliced so stead buns, dipped them in beaten egg, and fried them until golden on both sides. He also made a quick seaweed egg drop soup. After setting the breakfast on the table, he noticed his girlfriend had already tidied the room and styled her hair. They sat down to eat, chatting about their jobs as they enjoyed their al.

Sun Youguang was very satisfied with his current job. It was easygoing, the office environnt was great, and both of his bosses were young, easy to get along with, and reliable. After breakfast, they prepared lunch and packed it into lunch boxes. Carrying their bags, they left for work together. His girlfriend, Li Juan, also worked in the city, so they shared the sa route for the first part of their commute. They took the bus, then the subway, and finally walked into Yunxi Tower. As he swiped his card to open the office door, it was exactly 8:30 AM.
After organizing the office area, he replaced the trash bags and filled a cup of water, ready to start his daily accounting tasks.
"Morning, Brother Sun," HR specialist Zhang Ying greeted as she entered, placing her bag on her desk.
Sun Youguang waved and smiled, "Good morning."
Since it wasn't ti to start work yet, Zhang Ying didn't head to the front desk but sat down to chat with him for a while.
"By the way, Zhang Ying, you ntioned yesterday that our boss, Mr. Tang, hired a headhunting firm. How long do you think it'll take to assemble the team?" Sun Youguang was very concerned about this. He had finally found an ideal job and hoped the company would get up to speed as soon as possible. Plus, with not much accounting work to do daily, he felt uneasy just slacking off—he wanted to be busy and prove his value.
Zhang Ying thought montarily and replied, "I'd estimate that it should be settled by next week. Bocai Yingrui's majority shareholder is Deju Renhe, an industry leader. Their talent recruitnt system is integrated with Deju Renhe's resources. I heard from General Manager Gao that they're not just hiring for individual positions—they're directly recruiting entire teams that are already well-coordinated and vetted."
"Wow, that's incredible." Sun Youguang was instantly excited.
"Of course! What did you expect from Mr. Tang?" Zhang Ying said proudly.
The two chatted a bit more about the recruitnt process before Zhang Ying glanced at her phone screen and suddenly let out a squeal, her face flushing with excitent.
Startled, Sun Youguang quickly asked, "What happened? What's going on?"
Licking her lips, Zhang Ying replied with a thrilled expression, "Next month, Su Yu is coming to Yan City for a concert! It's at the Yan Province Olympic Sports Center!"
Sun Youguang said, "Oh," not particularly interested in celebrity gossip. However, he was familiar with Su Yu, China's national goddess and super-celebrity.
Zhang Ying, too excited to sit still, paced around the office, clutching her phone as she shared the news with her fan group. In the past two years, Su Yu had rarely held concerts. She was only scheduled to perform in Shanghai this year, but a surprise concert was suddenly added in Yan City. As a second-tier city, Yan City wasn't very prominent in China, so no one knew why Su Yu had decided to co here. But the goddess was known for her spontaneous decisions—she might have just wanted to visit, so she ca.
For fans in Yan City, this was an enormous surprise. The news was released early this morning and had already shot to the top of Weibo's trending topics. As a die-hard fan, Zhang Ying was already researching how to get tickets, though she wasn't hopeful. With such a superstar holding only two concerts a year, securing tickets was bound to be extrely difficult. This might even boost local tourism.
…
"Good morning, General Manager Gao!"
"Good morning, Mr. Tang!"
The two bosses arrived at the company one after the other, their presence adding a touch of glamour to the office. Zhang Ying hurried to the front desk while Sun Youguang straightened up and tried to look as professional as possible.
At 10:00 AM, Tang Song suddenly stood up and clapped his hands, announcing, "The legal firm has completed our labor and employnt system, everyone. Get ready to sign your contracts."
General Manager Gao ngting smiled and said, "I'll go print them out."
Hearing this, a look of excitent crossed Sun Youguang's face. It was his third day on the job, and he hadn't yet signed a contract, which made him uneasy. Finally, it was ti to make it official.
They gathered in the conference room a short while later to receive their employnt contracts and confidentiality agreents. His position was listed as "Accountant," with a three-year contract term and a three-month probation period, fully covered by social insurance and housing fund. The basic salary was ¥5,500 per month, the sa during probation.
Surprised, Sun Youguang looked up and blurted out, "General Manager Gao, is there a mistake with the probation salary? We discussed a 20% deduction during the interview."
With a soft smile, Gao ngting explained, "Mr. Tang and I both appreciate your work, so there's no deduction. Things will get busy soon, so as our sole accountant, we count on you. Perform well, and you might even get permanent status early."
She then added, "And this is no empty promise."
Sun Youguang's face lit up with excitent. "Thank you, ma'am! I'll do an excellent job with the company's finances!"
After filling out his information and signing his na, he left the conference room and imdiately shared the good news with his girlfriend.
That extra ¥500 a month ant a lot to them.
"Dingdong—"
[Juan: "That's fantastic! Plus, you have the housing fund now, so we can start looking at houses by the end of the year. With both of our housing funds, we can get a mortgage without needing a comrcial loan."]
Sun Youguang smiled as he replied, "Let's calculate our savings tonight."
They couldn't afford a house in Yan City with their salaries, but they could buy one in their hotown's small county. Once they had a house, marriage would be next. They were both 26 years old, and the thought of going from school uniforms to wedding gowns was their greatest happiness.
…
12:10 PM.
Tang Song walked into the general manager's office and leaned back in his chair. He opened the system interface and accessed the warehouse. Since yesterday's workout under Wen Ruan's guidance wasn't too intense, he hadn't used the Recovery Potion or Magic Protein Powder yet. Selecting the Magic Protein Powder, he imdiately used it. Monts later, a powdery substance appeared in his mouth—it had a sowhat astringent taste. Tang Song chewed it lightly, mixing it with saliva before swallowing. He waited for a while but didn't notice anything unusual.
Heading to Rhythm Gym, he changed into his workout clothes and filled a bottle with water. He started with a 10-minute warm-up on the treadmill and elliptical, followed by so light dumbbell exercises to loosen his joints. Tang Song then began following the workout plan Wen Ruan had sent him. He had just finished a few reverse-grip pull-ups when he noticed a familiar figure entering the gym.
Dressed in a fitted T-shirt and straight-cut high-waisted pants, her waist's perfect curve was unmistakable. She carried a large black gym bag, and her every movent was filled with feminine charm.
"I thought she wasn't coming today?" Tang Song mumbled in surprise, unable to stop his lips from curling into a smile.
Based on the information he'd received from Hu Mingli, Wen Ruan only worked out at the gym on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Her appearance today likely had sothing to do with him. The special attention from this older sister made him feel very happy.
Tang Song got off the equipnt and greeted her as she approached. "Good afternoon, Sister Wen Ruan. You're here."
Wen Ruan nodded and smiled. "Good afternoon. I'm going to change first."
She returned to the locker room shortly after, dressed in workout gear. While not as revealing as yesterday's outfit, it was still very attractive—sothing she often wore in her social dia posts. A light perfu scent followed her, a sweet blend of citrus and floral notes, evoking the feeling of a sumr afternoon. It was elegant, mature, and utterly captivating.
Standing before him, Wen Ruan smiled and said, "Today, you're focusing on your back and biceps. Two exercises can be dangerous, so I thought I'd co by to protect you. Aren't you touched?"
"Very touched," Tang Song replied, staring at her without blinking.
Wen Ruan smiled slightly, then said, "Alright, start with four sets of barbell curls. Let see your strength."
As she spoke, she squeezed his bicep, her eyes twinkling as she teased, "It's a bit small, little brother. I like them bigger."
Tang Song's face instantly turned red, thoroughly flustered by her flirtation. A mature older sister like this was out of his league right now!
