Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed Chapter 240 - 129: Love Destined for Three Lifetimes, Little
Zhong Tingyue’s eyes were like dewdrops in the morning light, crystal clear as they fixated on Li Yuan’s cheek, radiating a special brilliance.
"Senior Li Yuan, can I really ask for anything?"
Li Yuan chuckled. "Little Moon, I only sell my skills, not my body."
"Pah!" Zhong Tingyue sputtered, glaring at Li Yuan coyly. Her voice was as clear and pleasant as the strum of a zither. "Senior, you’re getting more and more improper."
Li Yuan smirked. "Little Moon, where’s your mind going? Are you the one with improper thoughts? Are you picturing sothing not suitable for children?"
Zhong Tingyue’s face instantly turned bright red. At eighteen, she had never been in a relationship. Despite knowing a little about such things, how could she be a match for a veteran like Li Yuan?
"Hmph, I haven’t decided yet, so you’ll just have to owe for now. I’ll tell you when I’ve decided."
Li Yuan replied with a smile, "Okay, but don’t take too long. I might not acknowledge it if you do."
"Little Moon, our appointnt with Wangyi Company is soon. Let’s head out now."
Zhong Tingyue stood up with graceful ease, her smile as bright and beautiful as a flower in full bloom.
"Mm-hmm, then please, Big Writer Li, take to get an early taste of the business world."
The eting with Wangyi Company was set to take place in Tianyu Building, the sa building that housed Yuandian Web. It was located in the heart of Modu, nearly a half-hour drive from Longyu Building.
After parking, Li Yuan and Zhong Tingyue walked side by side, drawing the focused gazes of many urban professionals. A handso man and a beautiful woman always turn heads wherever they go.
Gazing up at the towering skyscraper before her, Zhong Tingyue suddenly felt a pang of nervousness. After all, she was just a college freshman.
"Senior, is this the company, Yuandian Web, where you write your books?"
"Yes, they’re an internet tech company established in 2002. They’ve grown really fast over the past few years and have beco a leader in online literature," Li Yuan explained with a smile.
Across his past and present lives, this was the first ti he had ever visited the Yuandian Web office. At this point in ti, Yuandian Web had not yet been acquired by Tengxun, and in his past life, he never had the qualifications to visit.
"Wait a mont, I’ll contact my editor first."
Li Yuan sent a ssage to Starry Sky on QQ.
A reply ca in an instant.
"Big Writer Xia Hua, have you arrived? I’m coming down to get you. Where are you?"
"I’m at the entrance of the McDonald’s on the first floor of Tianyu Building, Area C."
"Okay, one mont. I’ll be right down."
Li Yuan looked at Zhong Tingyue and said with a smile, "All set. Let’s just wait here for a bit."
Watching Li Yuan chat on QQ, a thought suddenly struck Zhong Tingyue, as if she had just rembered sothing. With a smile, she spoke up.
"Senior, we’ve known each other for so long, but I still haven’t added you on QQ."
A jolt went through Li Yuan’s heart, but he nonchalantly asked, "Ah, my mistake. Little Moon, what’s your QQ number? I’ll add you right now."
Zhong Tingyue playfully retorted, "Big Writer Li, you rembered my phone number from your past life. Don’t tell you can’t even rember my QQ number?"
A shock ran through Li Yuan. Has my fabricated lie been exposed? Thoughts raced through his mind, and he quickly ca up with an excuse.
He feigned a serious expression, staring into Zhong Tingyue’s eyes as he asked in return, "Little Moon, what do you think the future of QQ will be? Do you think it will be replaced by other products?"
Zhong Tingyue pondered for a mont before shaking her head.
Currently, QQ virtually dominated the world of online communication. Other platforms like MSN and Fetion posed no real threat. She couldn’t even conceive of the possibility that QQ could be replaced.
"Senior, I think it would be very difficult to replace QQ. Its user base is massive, probably in the hundreds of millions. It already has a huge head start. How could it be easily replaced unless there was so kind of mandatory intervention from a powerful force?"
Li Yuan’s lips curved into a slight smile. Ti to show off again, and in front of the perceptive Little Moon, no less.
"Little Moon, I have a feeling that in a few years, QQ might be supplanted by a new chat software. It could be sothing like a streamlined version of QQ, but with other functions. The current QQ, while comprehensive, is overly complex, and its privacy is poor, which makes it unsuitable for professionals..."
As Zhong Tingyue listened to Li Yuan’s eloquent explanation, she suddenly found him inscrutable. She thought about it carefully. I’m not completely convinced, but it’s certainly possible.
"So, Senior, is that why you don’t rember my QQ number?"
Li Yuan nodded. He truly didn’t rember her QQ number because he had never added her.
"Heh, in our past life, we both used a new chat software to talk."
With a smile that was not quite a smile, Zhong Tingyue gazed at Li Yuan and teased, "Oh, really? Then why don’t you tell the na of that software and what features it had?"
Ever since she learned that Li Yuan was an online writer, she’d had her doubts about the story he told her of their past life together. We’re both high-achieving students from a 985 university, raised with atheist beliefs. Of course I wouldn’t blindly trust a story about a past life.
Li Yuan laughed heartily. He might not know much about other chat programs, but WeChat? He knew that one inside and out.
"Little Moon, how could I possibly lie to you?"
"This software, also developed by Tengxun, is more streamlined and convenient. It features things like WeChat Pay, Monts, Shake, video calls, and group chats. Functionally, it’s like a simplified version of QQ, but with much better privacy and confidentiality, making it more suitable for a professional office setting..."
"In our past life, we both used WeChat to chat. We hadn’t used QQ in a very, very long ti."
