In a quiet music bar in Yanjing.

The music here is light and the environment is very quiet.

It has a very good reputation online.

There are resident singers every night who give heartfelt performances.

If you're lucky, you might even see a famous celebrity or internet celebrity.

This restaurant doesn't have a minimum spending requirement, but the average spending per person is quite high.

Booths are always in high demand and need to be booked several days in advance.

It is undoubtedly a great place to relax, have a drink, and chat.

Soft, soothing music drifted through the brightly lit, bustling atmosphere.

The atmosphere in the bar was incredibly lively, filled with laughter and chatter.

In a semi-circular booth near the corner.

Several young men and women in their early twenties were sitting together, chatting happily.

"Ah Biao will be here soon, let's order some food first."

"The people in the tech department are really working hard. This is the first time I've ever seen Abiao leave work on time."

"I heard the DoShow band will be performing tonight!"

"I'm more looking forward to Mu Yuan; his songs have been really popular online lately."

"Thank you so much, Jingjing, for helping us book such a great spot!" Liang Jing and her three female colleagues had all changed into fresh and pretty clothes and put on exquisite makeup.

Several male colleagues also changed their dull demeanor from when they were at the company, and dressed very fashionably.

Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them together lightly. Liang Jing gently smoothed her hair and said with a smile, "I have another friend coming later, let me introduce him to you."

"Male or female?"

“It’s a guy.” Liang Jing winked playfully.

"I have a bad feeling."

"Could it be... his boyfriend?!"

"Wow, Jingjing, no wonder you called us all over. Is your boyfriend trying to assert his ownership? Afraid you'll be poached from the company?"

"When did you get together?"

"I'm so sad, but I still have to congratulate you!"

Liang Jing shook her head and said, "No, it hasn't progressed to that stage yet! We met at a dinner party, got along very well, and are now good friends."

Although she said that, the smile on her face just wouldn't go away.

Several female colleagues immediately started chattering and asking about the boy's family background and circumstances.

Liang Jing didn't hide anything and gave a brief explanation.

The other party is a local of Yanjing, whose family owns three houses in the city, and whose parents both work for foreign companies.

I currently earn 40,000 yuan a month and also own an Audi A8.

As he stated each condition, his female colleagues looked on with envy.

The male colleagues exchanged glances and took a sip of their drinks in frustration.

They were both single, and each of them had some feelings for Liang Jing, the pretty receptionist at the company.

It seems now that there's absolutely no chance.

Just then, Liang Jing suddenly stood up, waved towards a distance, and called out, "Dali! Over here!"

Immediately afterwards, a man in his late twenties walked over.

He was quite handsome, dressed formally, wearing frameless glasses, and his hair was perfectly styled, giving him an air of sophistication. He sat down naturally next to Liang Jing.

He took the initiative to greet everyone, saying, "Good evening, everyone. I'm Sun Dali, Jingjing's... good friend."

Liang Jing blushed slightly, poured him a glass of wine, and then introduced him to her colleague. Sun Dali was very outgoing and had excellent speaking skills.

He quickly started chatting and laughing with everyone.

Liang Jing sat to the side, her eyes filled with joy. She and Sun Dali hadn't known each other for very long, but they got along exceptionally well.

To be precise, Sun Dali is very good at making people happy, and there's never a dull moment in a conversation.

Given his outstanding qualities, it was truly a case of him marrying above his station for someone like her who was just a receptionist at the company.

The two are currently in a state of ambiguous relationship.

This time, she took the initiative to invite these colleagues with whom she had a good relationship.

She also wanted Sun Dali to integrate into her social circle, so they could get to know each other better and prepare for establishing a romantic relationship.

Passing through the glass doors of the bar, the two stepped into the interplay of yellow and purple lights.

The smell of alcohol, the warmth of the heating, the fragrance, and the music instantly enveloped them.

Ah Biao became somewhat nervous, glancing around nervously.

This was his first time in a place like this.

His busy work schedule and frugal lifestyle made his daily life quite monotonous, consisting of only going between the company and his home. That's why he agreed to come so readily this time.

Besides Liang Jing's personal invitation, it was also because Gao Jun was coming. He couldn't be stingy when hosting his college roommate; he had to make sure everything was arranged perfectly.

Gao Jun looked around curiously, noticing the movie posters with the marks of time on both sides of the corridor and the light industrial retro style of the decoration, and had a sense of déjà vu.

It's somewhat similar to the one he visited in Shanghai.

Gao Jun patted Abiao, who was looking around, and asked a waiter next to him, "Excuse me, which direction is booth F15?"

"Over there, near the east corner," the waiter pointed in a direction.

A-Biao tugged at his little sports jacket and followed Gao Jun toward that direction.

He looked around curiously. Occasionally, his eyes would meet those of scantily clad, influencer-style young women, and his face would flush slightly before he quickly looked away.

Although he said he would show Gao Jun the bustling and prosperous Yanjing, he actually had no experience himself and was just good at talking.

Upon arriving at the booth, A-Biao's eyes lit up immediately, and his gaze was fixed on Liang Jing.

Wearing a black, form-fitting dress and delicate hair accessories, Liang Jing looked both innocent and slightly sexy in the dim lighting and unique atmosphere.

This was a Liang Jing he had never seen before. A Biao couldn't help but swallow, his gaze fixed on her.

Gao Jun patted his shoulder without making a sound.

Ah Biao immediately snapped out of his daze, strode forward, and said with a smile, "Hello, handsome men and beautiful women, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"

"Hey, Ah Biao, you've finally arrived."

"Please sit down, the warm-up performance will begin soon."

"Come on, let's have a drink," his colleagues greeted him warmly.

Soon, they noticed the handsome guy standing behind Ah Biao.

A white hoodie, a black jacket, and washed denim jeans. The clothes were very casual and well-fitting, and combined with his excellent physique and handsome face, he was quite eye-catching.

His skin, in particular, was very fair.

The dimly lit bar exudes a refined charm.

Several female colleagues were instantly stunned.

My God! Where did this amazing handsome guy come from?! Noticing everyone's gaze, Abiao pointed to Gao Jun behind him.

He introduced himself casually, "This is my college classmate and roommate, Gao Jun. He just arrived in Yanjing today."

Gao Jun stretched out a hand and waved it at the crowd, saying with a smile, "Sorry to bother you."

When he smiled, he revealed neat, white teeth, which seemed to illuminate the entire space.

Several female colleagues couldn't sit still any longer and stood up one after another.

"Hello, sir, please sit here!"

"I have the best spot here, come over here."

"Ah Biao! I've treated you to milk tea several times. You have such a good friend, why didn't you introduce her to me! Don't you know I'm single?" "Ah Biao, you're such a good liar!"

"You two should be more reserved, don't scare the handsome guy away!"...

A-Biao was taken aback by the lively scene before him.

These female colleagues, some from HR, some from finance, and some from sales, are all very serious in the company. I never expected them to have such a free-spirited side.

His gaze then fell upon Liang Jing.

I saw a deep sense of amazement on the other person's face.

He couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

He underestimated how attractive Lao Gao's face was to girls! It's too exaggerated! A Biao pulled Gao Jun to sit down in the booth.

Only then did she notice the unfamiliar face next to Liang Jing. She noticed the other person's clothes and how close they were sitting.

A-Biao's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly felt anxious and uncertain. He asked, "And who is this handsome guy?"

"Oh, this is my... friend, Sun Dali." Liang Jing snapped out of her daze, her gaze still occasionally drifting towards Gao Jun.

Sun Dali frowned slightly, coughed lightly, and said, "Everyone's here. Thank you all for your help to Jingjing at work. I'd like to propose a toast to everyone." (End of Chapter)
