Charm point maxed out, inheriting game assets

Chapter 673: Chapter 322: The Growing Golden Canary, Monster Respawn_3 Chapter 673: Chapter 322: The Growing Golden Canary, Monster Respawn_3 Nearby, the store manager Zhao Qiuli quickly leaned over to her ear and whispered a few words.

Just now, there wasn’t a suitable opportunity, plus she was too scared to move. Only now did she speak to the boss.

As the manager, every employee’s hiring and resignation had to go through her review.

Therefore, she always remembered this tall, long-legged beautician, Qianqian.

Zhao Yaqian chuckled softly, her eyebrows curving as she said, “Sister Yurong, I’ve never told you. Actually, I was an employee of Isa Beauty Industry before, and I left less than two months ago.”

Returning to a familiar place, seeing the shocked expressions of her colleagues, she couldn’t help but feel a bit euphoric.

This must be what Xue meant by returning home in glory; it really felt quite satisfying.

Nearby, Lin Muxue, dressed in a blouse and pencil skirt, stepped forward slightly and said softly, “President Zhang, Qianqian has a fondness for Isa Beauty Industry, which is why she prioritized considering your company.”

“This…” Zhang Yurong’s hand clenched tightly, a bright smile instantly appearing on her face, “This is truly a great coincidence. It looks like our cooperation is destined to be very smooth! I also welcome Qianqian back on behalf of Isa Beauty Industry!”

As she spoke, she raised both hands and clapped.

Soon, all the employees joined in with enthusiastic applause.

They followed Zhang Yurong and headed towards the office area on the third floor.

Stepping onto the stairs illuminated by light strips, they reached the second floor.

Zhao Yaqian involuntarily turned around, her gaze sweeping over the spacious and bright hall downstairs.

Amidst the familiar environment were familiar faces.

They were all looking up at her, with an unprecedented stance, gaze, and expressions so complex that she couldn’t distinguish between joy and sorrow.

Her gaze lingered on Wei Ziyuan and Wang Yan for a moment.

Their faces turned pale, they quickly lowered their heads, their nervousness evident.

Zhao Yaqian reached out to grip the railing, feeling a surge of emotions, a multitude of sentiments.

She actually didn’t have much experience, her understanding of human nature was vague, and she wasn’t good at sweet-talking.

After graduating from high school, she rested for a while, then went for training at Zhuoyue Technical School, later joining Yiz Beauty Salon.

Her life and experiences weren’t very convoluted; the biggest challenge she probably faced was work and credit card bills.

This also led to a simple personality.

Now, looking back at the past, she was surprised to discover many overlooked details.

Many things she couldn’t understand before had now become clearer.

The transformation and growth of one’s mindset sometimes occur in just a moment.

Just like the golden canary at this very instant.

…

July 17, 2023, Monday, sunny, 24~37℃.

6:00 PM.

Normal University Teacher’s Apartment.

Accompanied by the sound of the alarm on his phone, Tang Song let out a long breath, placed the ginkgo bookmark, and gently closed the book.

Leaning back in his chair, he closed his eyes and pondered for a while before standing up.

After over two days of adaptation, the initial sense of urgency had subsided, and he had settled into a routine.

Waking up, morning exercise, eating, washing up, studying, resting, walking…

Everything was very healthy and regular.

After all, studying is a process of intake, consuming a lot of energy and mental effort.

Even with the combination of steamed buns and spicy strips, he still felt deeply exhausted.

This, in turn, affected his normal life and state, making it counterproductive.

Moreover, he had the Self-discipline Halo, requiring him to maintain a regular schedule to continuously increase his endurance.

Opening the master bedroom door, he happened to bump into his roommate coming out of the kitchen.

“Brother Song, you’re done?” Qian Lele pointed to the dining table, “Today’s dinner is from the school cafeteria, millet porridge, five-spice bread, and my homemade pickled radish, try it, it’s delicious.”

Tang Song nodded, took out his phone and said, “Thanks, Lele, how much was it? I’ll transfer it to you.”

“No, no need, it wasn’t much, not worth mentioning.”

“Then don’t help me with meals in the future, I feel bad eating for free.”

Seeing Tang Song’s earnest expression, Qian Lele softly said, “Two and a half yuan.”

“Okay, it’s transferred, check it.”

“Got it, Brother Song, received.”

Qian Lele bit her lower lip lightly, turned, and went back to her room to tidy up.

Today was Monday; after returning at 5 PM, she found Tang Song still studying.

So she asked out of concern.

Only then did she learn that for the next two weeks, he would be studying intensively here.

Which meant he wouldn’t be going to work.

This was evidently very unusual.

Qian Lele couldn’t help but let her imagination run wild, thinking Tang Song had encountered some setback in his professional life and temporarily lost his job.

So that’s why he was in this state.

Being kind-hearted, she didn’t ask much, just wanted to help him in her way, providing some care and support.

Just like when she herself faced difficult times, she hoped someone would appear.

…

After bidding goodbye to Tang Song, Qian Lele grabbed her handbag and went downstairs, heading straight to the pedestrian street outside the school.

She stopped at a familiar spot, opened her handbag, and spread a light-colored cloth on the ground.

Neatly placed numerous bracelets on it.

Then she leaned a cardboard with marked prices against the side.

Soon, a simple stall appeared in a corner of the bustling pedestrian street.

Due to the university students being on vacation, it was much quieter here.

Fortunately, there were quite a few residents and office workers around, plus the shops on both sides of the street were affordable, keeping the foot traffic steady.

Occasionally, couples passing by would stop and take a look.

“Hello, Lele, good evening.” A voice sounded from beside her.

Qian Lele looked up and smiled warmly, “Sister Wen, you’re here.”

This Sister Wen was someone she had met while setting up her stall.

Her name was Zhang Wen, a regular office employee.

Although her job was relaxed, her salary was very low.

So every day after work, she would set up a stall selling roasted starch sausages as a side job.

She anchored the camping car, set up the table board.

Neatly arranged the seasonings, equipment, and ingredients.

Zhang Wen placed her phone properly, watched a TV show while preparing the sausages.

Listening to the fighting sounds on the phone, Qian Lele curiously asked, “Sister Wen, are you watching the newly released drama ‘Leisurely Listening to Falling Rain’?”

“Yes, yes.” Zhang Wen’s eyes sparkled, “This drama is the biggest dark horse of the year, it’s incredibly popular right now, really exciting, highly recommended!”

Qian Lele nodded, “When I worked at the coffee shop, I also heard coworkers discussing it; apparently, the second lead actress performed really well.”

“Of course! Bei Yuwei, she completely brought the scheming second lead to life, way more charming than the main characters, she’s extremely popular now! Her name is all over social media, and this drama is called the best ancient romance drama of the last couple of years.”

Then, Zhang Wen stopped watching the drama and began explaining to Qian Lele.

Bei Yuwei, who came from a talent show, used to be an obscure minor celebrity, last year her agency contract was sold to Tangzong Entertainment.

This year, she landed the role of the second female lead in a major ancient romance fantasy drama ‘Leisurely Listening to Falling Rain,’ originally a very criticized character by design.

Unexpectedly, Bei Yuwei’s exceptional looks and acting skills brought the character to life.

Her scenes were massively edited and spread by self-media, making her one of the top-streams on Douyin recently.

“It’s said that in a few days, Bei Yuwei will come to Yan Province TV Station to record a variety show. Our company is right next to the TV building, hehe, I wonder if there’s a chance to see her in person.”

“Good luck, Sister Wen.” Qian Lele said with a smile, then turned her hopeful gaze back to the passing crowd.

Actually, she wasn’t very interested in these matters because they felt too distant.

She didn’t follow dramas, didn’t listen to music, and had no feelings toward celebrities.

Her greatest desire was still to make money.

…

As night fell, the day’s heat gradually subsided.

Tang Song stood on the balcony of the living room, gazing into the distance for a while.

Just as he was about to go downstairs to school for a walk to ease his fatigued mind.

A white light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.

Immediately, the system interface appeared automatically.

[The instance has been refreshed, entering the leisure entertainment phase]

[Wild monster ‘Piggy Bank’ has appeared]

[Defeating wild monsters will earn special rewards]

Next, the dazzling 3D navigation reappeared.

In the nearby sky, a conspicuous piggy bank icon floated, bouncing up and down.

Faintly, the sound of coins clinking could be heard.
