Chapter 843: Chapter 733: Opportunity (Please subscribe!) Tang Qing had just returned home. When his parents immediately dragged him into a conversation. Facing two pairs of eyes gleaming with curiosity. Tang Qing had no choice but to clarify things slowly, what should be said was said, and what shouldn’t be said was glossed over, finally satiating his parents’ curiosity after more than half an hour before they could let the matter rest. Back in his room. Tang Qing lay on his bed. The bed sheets and covers here were all new, which suggested that the items from his uncle’s house had been thrown away if they could be. The room’s layout was the same as when he had stayed at his uncle’s, with walls adorned with Tang Qing’s paintings, though noticeably fewer, probably taken by his second uncle or given away by Mother Tang and Father Tang. There was also a large display cabinet in the room. It housed Tang Qing’s wood carvings. Looking at those pieces, Tang Qing felt he needed to find time to refine them further; his skills had long since surpassed mastery and reached a professional level. Compared to his early works, there were still some deficiencies. Some were issues with the materials, others with the carving, and still more with the later polishing and glazing and so on. Although not entirely satisfactory, they were still his works, too precious to be discarded. He locked the door. Tang Qing comfortably took a bath. With a thought, the droplets of water on his body were instantly repelled. In the middle of winter, he only wore a pair of shorts, and to him, who was immune to the extremes of climate, it was not an issue. Besides, he would have to take them off soon anyway. Neuronal telekinesis informed him that Lin Jiaxue was currently showering, so it was a bit early to head over. Tang Qing turned on the TV and casually watched for a while. But only for three minutes. The corners of Tang Qing’s mouth lifted. He quickly turned off the TV and the lights, then went to the balcony and skillfully climbed over. For some reason, Tang Qing always felt like he was sneaking around like a thief, strictly speaking, stealing someone’s daughter. Luckily, the balcony faced a park, unseen by anyone, otherwise, if someone called the police, it would be extremely embarrassing for Tang Qing and Lin Jiaxue, probably a lifelong joke to others. Once he entered the door, Lin Jiaxue, who was drying her hair, saw Tang Qing’s perfect muscular definition and, despite having seen it many times, still found it appealing, causing her cheeks to blush as she said in a soft voice, "Tangtang, why did you come over without wearing any clothes?" Her voice was soft, to avoid being overheard. Tang Qing responded with a playful smile, "I am wearing shorts, you know." Lin Jiaxue: "..." "Hehe, don’t worry, I’m not cold." Saying that, Tang Qing grabbed the remote and turned on the TV in Lin Jiaxue’s room, not caring which channel, and set the volume at a moderate level. Even if someone was outside the door, they couldn’t distinguish if the noises were their conversation or the TV. Of course, this was for Lin Jiaxue’s benefit. With Tang Qing’s telekinetic powers, the psychic barrier was already forming. Blocking out sound was no difficult task, even if there was a commotion inside, nothing could be heard from outside. "You," Lin Jiaxue helplessly rolled her eyes at Tang Qing. She quickly went to the balcony and drew the curtains before adding, "What if your aunt knocks on your door?" "It’s fine, my parents are probably asleep by now." Tang Qing comfortably reclined on Lin Jiaxue’s bed, feeling a familiar thrill. The bed sheets and covers, made of pure cotton with prints, were several years old and quite different from the silk quilts at the villa. "My parents are probably asleep too, they have to go to the shop early tomorrow." Lin Jiaxue used her hairdryer. Traveling all day, she definitely needed to wash her hair. Tang Qing quickly walked over and took the hairdryer from her. "Buzz, buzz, buzz..." In the villa, Lin Jiaxue could have fighters assist her without lifting a finger, but here, it was all up to Tang Qing. As he thought about drying her hair quickly to get down to business, he unconsciously used his telekinetic powers. If it weren’t for fear of causing uproar, Tang Qing could make Lin Jiaxue’s hair dry instantly. At that moment, a piece of news on the TV made Tang Qing chuckle. ’Latest update, the celebrity Andy Lau will be visiting inland Qingyan City on the 20th of this month. It is not yet clear whether it’s for commercial performances or a filming task. According to insiders, this was an addition...’ Randomly selected, a local station’s news replay actually mentioned this. Tang Qing chuckled softly, "Interesting." He didn’t expect the public’s interest in a celebrity’s schedule to be so high. It’s mysterious where such information came from, possibly from the airport or the organizers, certainly not Andy Lau’s agent. The organizer this time was Tianyan Group. Yet the report didn’t specify the purpose of his visit, hence Tang Qing couldn’t be bothered to investigate the source of this entertainment news. The actions of everyone in Tianyan were under the Command Room’s surveillance. Should anyone compromise the company’s interests, the Command Room would notify him. However, there had been no such news so far. Clearly, this didn’t harm the company’s interests. Lin Jiaxue asked in confusion, "Tangtang, what’s wrong?" "Nothing, this news is quite interesting." "Why is Andy Lau coming to Qingyan City? That’s strange." Lin Jiaxue still didn’t know the confirmed guests for the Annual Meeting that day, and Tang Qing hadn’t mentioned it. It wasn’t that she wanted to surprise her, but as long as people had not arrived, there could be variables. "I actually do know," Tang Qing said with a smile. "What’s the reason?" Lin Jiaxue became interested. Tang Qing didn’t specify but asked, "Do you remember what’s special about the 20th?" "The 20th? The 20th... Annual Meeting? Is Andy Lau coming to attend our company’s Annual Meeting?" Lin Jiaxue immediately made the connection, her face a bit excited. It was not about being starstruck but because, up to now, she had really never met a celebrity in person. As for Hu Li, she was just a minor actress for now, the movie hadn’t been released, and she was still some distance from becoming a celebrity. "Smart, and it doesn’t even cost money. Big Brother Zheng arranged it, and it seems there are a few celebrities, all quite famous. They agreed to perform for free out of respect for Big Brother Zheng, haha, we scored big," Tang Qing laughed heartily. For free? Lin Jiaxue covered her mouth in shock. Such big-name celebrities actually don’t charge appearance fees? Zheng Lin really had a lot of clout, but thinking about how much money it would save Tang Qing, Lin Jiaxue suddenly became excited, "That’s really great. By the way, do you want to go on stage?" "Of course I want to go on stage. I’m the chairman, how could I not make an appearance? Jiaojiao even firmly scheduled a program for me. I finally chose to sing a song, but I’m a bit worried about what to sing. I haven’t decided yet." Tang Qing was genuinely worried. Copying a song that hadn’t been released was almost impossible because Tang Qing really couldn’t remember many of the lyrics; he only knew the melodies and could hum a few lines. At the last Annual Meeting, he had performed Military Boxing and had sung "Free and Unfettered." Now his mood was completely different from that time. He couldn’t be so informal. Nor could he sing such a ’sorrowful’ song. Now that the company was flourishing, he needed to bring hope to his colleagues. Inspirational songs, that is. But such songs were sadly few and far between. Unlike love songs, which were as common as dirt. "Maybe... you could sing with them?" Lin Jiaxue suddenly suggested, in her logic, when faced with a difficult choice, if there was someone to follow, then just go along with this person to avoid making a choice. Tang Qing was startled. It actually made sense. Why perform solo and endure all that hassle when singing with the big names could be great? Tang Qing said happily, "Right, our Jiaxue is the smartest. Okay, a group number it is. We’ll see whose song is suitable for a group performance. Do you want to join in?" Lin Jiaxue shook her head vigorously, retreating, "I’d better not. With so many people watching, I’d definitely be really nervous. I’d rather just watch you sing." She had been so nervous during the last New Year’s Gala with just her classmates watching that her legs had trembled. With more than two thousand adults below, she felt she couldn’t handle such a scene. "Alright, that’s settled then," Tang Qing didn’t press. At that moment, Lin Jiaxue seemed to have remembered something and suddenly said, "I think it would be great to have Sister Wang Yan sing with them." "Ah? Why?" When he heard Wang Yan’s name, Tang Qing was taken aback. "Sister Wang Yan’s dream is to be a singer, and this is also an opportunity for her to meet some big stars. I just don’t know what she thinks about it or if your invited celebrities would be willing to perform with her on stage." Lin Jiaxue thought of Wang Yan pursuing her dream. As they were friends, she felt this was a rare opportunity for Wang Yan. Upon considering it, Tang Qing realized that meeting these singers could indeed be a great boost for Wang Yan’s future. Thus, he nodded and said, "True enough. Aren’t you two going shopping tomorrow? Just ask her then. If she agrees, I’ll talk to the celebrities about it." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮 "Okay," Lin Jiaxue nodded in agreement. Shortly after. Her hair was dried. Tang Qing gave a mischievous smile. He scooped up Lin Jiaxue in one move. That night. Was just like any other night. Only, being at Lin Jiaxue’s house made Tang Qing particularly excited, like a wild bull. Lin Jiaxue nearly fell apart from the ordeal, feeling equally thrilled at her own home. To avoid being heard, she clenched her teeth throughout, constantly covering her mouth with her hands. Her expression and movements made Tang Qing insatiable. At half-past one in the morning. The battle ended. Under the effect of the Psychic Barrier. Not a sound had escaped. Only the chandelier one floor below was gently swaying, but that was in the Lin family’s study, where no one lived, naturally, no one noticed. Towards dawn. When Lin Jiaxue woke up, Tang Qing was already gone from her side. "Jiaxue, your dad and I are off to the store. Breakfast is on the table, remember to come down and eat. Also, Tangtang is already waiting for you in the living room, hurry up and get up," Lin’s mother’s voice came from outside the door. "Got it." Lin Jiaxue quickly responded, surprised that Tang Qing had already gotten up and even come to her house. That was typical; Tang Qing always woke up earlier than she did. She had never woken up before Tang Qing, as if he didn’t need to sleep at all. Nothing surprising there. Hearing her daughter’s response, Lin’s mother turned and left with Lin’s father.
