He didn’t directly reveal Jing’s identity.

This old classmate was currently in a state of despondency.

Some things, when seen with your own eyes, are far more impactful than mere words.

Actually, when he first heard that Zhang Lei was going to Zhongcheng Group headquarters, he thought of letting Jing know once Zhang Lei became familiar with the company environment and settled down, so she could help look after him.

But unexpectedly, barely a month later, Zhang Lei was laid off.

About twenty minutes passed.

"Ring ring ring—" The phone rang.

Picked up the call.

"Song! I’m at the entrance now, parking. Which table are you guys at? I’ll come directly to you!"

Tang Song chuckled, holding the phone to his ear, and said gently: "I’m at a booth inside; it’s not easy to find, I’ll come to the entrance to get you."

"Okay, thanks Song."

Hung up the phone.

Tang Song stood up, patting Zhang Lei on the shoulder: "My girlfriend is here, I’ll go pick her up, hang on."

"Ah? Oh, okay, okay!" Zhang Lei quickly stood up too, his curious gaze fixed on the bustling entrance of the barbecue shop.

He wanted to see what Tang Song’s "former colleague" girlfriend looked like.

Tang Song walked through the lively and noisy hall and pushed open the glass door to go outside.

Through the large floor-to-ceiling window, Zhang Lei could see a tall, attractive figure getting out of a berry pink-colored Audi A5 in the temporary parking space not far from the restaurant entrance.

Given the distance and the dim lighting, Zhang Lei couldn’t make out the specific features at first.

She was wearing a loose black jacket on top, but her lower half sported a pair of straight, long "comic legs" wrapped in delicate white stockings.

Her thick black hair was like seaweed, and her skin was cool white, almost glowing under the night sky.

Yet even a silhouette was enough to make one’s heart race.

Zhang Lei’s eye twitched, and he couldn’t help but curse internally.

Holy crap! She’s absolutely a super beauty!

Then, he saw the girl, like a joyous bird, rush directly forward and leap into Tang Song’s arms.

The two kissed without a care, leaving Zhang Lei watching, feeling a sour taste in his mouth.

But he had to admit, the couple was indeed a perfect match.

After a moment, the two gently separated and walked hand-in-hand towards the restaurant.

Zhang Lei hastily tidied his clothes and quickly left the seat to greet them.

After all, since he hosted the meal today, it was only right to be proactive.

Just as he approached the entrance, Tang Song and his girlfriend happened to push the door open and walk in.

This time, Zhang Lei finally got a clear view of the girl’s face.

Sweet, exquisite, stunningly beautiful.

Plus her healthy, cool white skin.

In the smoky, warm ambiance of the barbecue shop, she looked like a fairy who had wandered into the mortal realm, so beautiful it was hard to look directly at her.

However, he felt that this girl seemed somewhat familiar, as if he’d seen her somewhere before.

But because he had been drinking a bit, his brain wasn’t working, and he couldn’t quite remember for the moment.

He was just about to greet her with a smile and say "Hello, little sister-in-law."

When a few service staff at the restaurant entrance suddenly stood up in shock and quickly ran over.

"Boss!"

"Hello, Boss!"

Jing lightly smiled and nodded towards them: "Good evening." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Zhang Lei was instantly dumbfounded, his face twitching.

Tianji Barbecue wasn’t a small shop; five branches, each located in a three-story premium location.

Just this business alone was incredibly valuable.

Tang Song’s girlfriend, so young and beautiful, turned out to be a big tycoon!

What the hell! Is there any justice? Does the law still stand?!

Not only Zhang Lei, but even Tang Song was stunned, surprised: "This Tianji Barbecue is yours?"

Jing playfully blinked and used a coy tone, saying: "So why do you think it’s called ’Tianji Barbecue’? Hehe, I’m sort of the major shareholder, but I usually don’t manage it much, there’s a professional manager team for that."

This chain was a birthday gift from her parents earlier, also considered as an advanced career opportunity for her.

The goal was to train her management skills.

Jing generally didn’t pay much attention, occasionally participating in management.

But due to her strong background, there hadn’t been any issues.

Tang Song quickly caught on, no wonder so many Songmei Clothing team-building events took place here, and Zhongcheng Group had a partnership with this place.

Turns out the reason was right here.

Looking at the cute and charming Jing beside him, Tang Song felt a bit odd.

Before, he thought Jing was a lazy and carefree beautiful and rich girl living off her parents.

Unexpectedly, apart from her job, she actually had her own business.

He felt he didn’t know enough about this beautiful and rich girl friend.

She always managed to give him some "surprises."

Tang Song squeezed her hand, pulling Jing to walk a few steps inside.

Introducing: "Jing, this is my good buddy, junior high school classmate, Zhang Lei. This is my girlfriend, Tian Jing."

"Hello Brother Lei!" Jing called sweetly, appearing especially well-behaved.

"Y-Yes, hello, Jing."

Zhang Lei was still immersed in shock, only able to reply blankly.

Looking at the figure right there, something seemed to stir in his mind.

"Let’s sit down and chat." Tang Song patted Zhang Lei’s arm.

The three arrived at the booth.

Jing gave Tang Song a playful smile, naturally shrugged off the loose black jacket she was wearing.

Revealing the quite alluring pure desire style JK uniform inside.

The fitted design outlined her perfect "Born to be suitable for JK uniforms" figure vividly.

Purity combined with sensuality, these seemingly contradictory traits perfectly merged on her, creating a captivating contrast.

Tang Song was momentarily dazed, his face showing a knowing smile.

Clearly, this was Jing’s "meeting boyfriend little tips," specifically worn for him.

And as Jing shed the loose jacket, revealing her "true self."

Zhang Lei seemed to have been fixed in place, suddenly rigid with shock.

Scenes flashed across his mind like lightning!

A month ago, on the night of the Mid-Autumn holiday, he was called by the department manager Liu Huixiang to drive for him.

At the entrance of Sinmo Bar.

He saw firsthand the figure embraced by a group of company middle-level leaders coming out from inside.

She stood beside the administrative supervisor Qin Hua.

She is... she is... Chairman Tian’s daughter!

This thought struck like a thunderbolt, exploding in his mind!

Tang Song’s girlfriend... is Chairman Tian’s daughter?!

Zhang Lei breathed heavily, his legs weakening, nearly losing his balance!

He widened his eyes, his mind blank, feeling everything before him was utterly surreal.
