Since we are both reborn, of course I would choose the rich woman!

Chapter 208 Eat cake (gogo!)
Jian Xiaojie seemed to have really learned how to make a cake. The spatula used to spread the cream was as smooth as flowing water in her hand.

She is also adept at using all kinds of cake decorating tools.

When she used a butter spatula and piping tools to add oil and milk to Wang Shu's body, her focused expression was as if she was a clay artist shaping her muse.

Under Jian Xiaojie's sculpting, Wang Shu, who served as the support material, gradually had many artistic patterns on his body. This reminded Lu Yao of body painting, which is indeed a niche art.

I just never thought that one day I would see body painting using cream as the material.

The key is that the color of the cream mixed by Jian Xiaojie is also very special. It is a very bright and saturated pigeon blood red color. The rich red color contrasts with Wang Shu's snow-like skin, and the charm it shows is even a little thrilling.

The lower part of the ribbon skirt was still hanging on Wang Shu, but thanks to Jian Xiaojie's careful sculpting, her upper body had taken on the appearance of the upper part of a long off-shoulder red evening dress.

The color collision of red on top and black on the bottom, as well as the pigeon blood red cream and the snow-white and slender waist exposed between the ribbon hip wrap, create a unique layered visual effect.

"Whoo~"

After finishing her work, Jian Xiaojie admired her work with great satisfaction. It was worth it that she spent a lot of time learning how to make cakes. Now it seems that she is quite talented in this area.

What's the best part?

The idea for tonight's gift was not thought of by Jian Xiaojie, but by Sister Shu herself.

Wang Shu had looked at the calendar several months ago and found that this year's Spring Festival and Valentine's Day were very close, with only three or four days in between. During these three or four days, Wang Shu must go abroad to accompany his parents.

This means that not only can she not spend this year's Spring Festival with Lu Yao, she can't even be with Lu Yao on this year's Valentine's Day.

Thinking about the fact that Lu Yao did not return to his hometown for the New Year last year, and wandered alone in the empty Shangnan like a ghost, Sister Wang couldn't help but feel a surge of pity and guilt that almost drowned her.

Although she knew that this was Lu Yao's own choice, she just couldn't control her emotions.

In front of Lu Yao, she seemed to have lost the composure and calmness that she was proud of in the workplace.

That's why Wang Shu wanted to celebrate Valentine's Day with Lu Yao in advance this year, and prepared a special gift for Lu Yao - the current Lu Yao is no longer the college student who had not graduated two years ago, and in terms of wealth, Lu Yao has even surpassed Sister Wang.

Under the leadership of Jian Xiaojie, Rong Nianqing and others, Lu Yao is also enjoying the top experience that the world can offer today.

So after much thought, it was estimated that ordinary material things would not be able to impress Lu Yao, so Sister Wang came up with this unique idea.

But Sister Wang couldn't complete this "gift" by herself, so she found Jian Xiaojie and asked Jian Xiaojie to learn the art of cake decorating.

now.

The cream cake gift with herself as the base material was presented to Lu Yao in a perfect manner with the help of Jian Xiaojie's aesthetics and layout skills.

However, this way of presenting gifts was too much of a test for Wang Shu's sense of morality. Even though there were only Lu Yao and Jian Xiaojie in the room, Wang Shu was still extremely embarrassed. She could even hear her own heartbeat like a drum, roaring on her eardrums.

Jian Xiaojie stared at her sister Shu almost obsessively.

She had used prosthetic models in all her practice before today. Although her skills had become more and more sophisticated as she practiced on prosthetic models, prosthetic models were dead after all, lifeless and not lively at all.

So although her works in the past were exquisite and beautiful, they were not particularly touching.

But tonight was different.

When the cake decorating technique was presented to Wang Shu, Wang Shu's own charm and the exquisite and beautiful decorating technique were integrated together, making the originally lifeless decorating suddenly come alive and become extremely vivid.

The pigeon blood red cream seemed to be the "heavenly clothes" left in the world for Wang Shu. When the two were combined, Wang Shu became divine.

Jian Xiaojie praised sincerely: "Sister Shu, you are so beautiful."

She had a feeling that she would fall in love with this art form in the future.

I finally understand why so many artists like to explore the hidden spiritual realms between men and women.

It is really hard to understand the feeling without personal experience.

Wang Shu felt embarrassed by Jian Xiaojie's praise. Under the gaze of Jian Xiaojie and Lu Yao, there was more to Sister Wang than just her eyes.

Jian Xiaojie came to Wang Shu, looked at Lu Yao as if presenting a treasure, and asked, "How is it? Do you like this gift?"

There isn't much artistic talent in Lu Yao, and his level is only a little higher than the average person, but he has to admit that this gift tonight is really eye-catching, special, and full of surprises.

He looked at Wang Shu and praised: "It's beautiful, strong and elegant, full of charm. If you can participate in the competition, this work you created together will definitely shine."

Jian Xiaojie was delighted to be praised, and Sister Wang was also excited.

But cakes are not for looking at, they are for eating.

So after showing off this gift tonight, Jian Xiaojie narrowed her eyes and the smile on her face became expectant: "What are you waiting for? Let's eat the cake~"

Sometimes Lu Yao really admires the profoundness of Chinese. The same words have completely different meanings in different situations. This is the charm of ideographic characters.

Lu Yao was not polite and slowly came to a place not far from Wang Shu.

At this time, Wang Shu didn't dare to look at Lu Yao at all. She turned her face away and lowered her eyebrows, as if she had really turned into an exquisite sugar figure made by the Sugar King. While being admired by everyone, she was also looking forward to the realization of her ultimate and most basic value.

Delicate things are not suitable for gentle and delicate playing. The moment when delicate and fragile things truly and fully display their charm is the moment they are broken.

He was no longer as gentle as usual. Instead, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the cream on the "sugar man", crushed the cream decoration that Jian Xiaojie had carefully carved, then pinched a handful of the base material under the cream decoration, and brought the hand full of cream to his mouth and took a bite.

The cream that Jian Xiaojie chooses is high-quality animal cream. This kind of cream contains more water and less fat, has a low melting point and is easy to melt. It is not easy to maintain its shape after making decorated cakes, and it will become soft and deformed if stored at room temperature for a long time.

But Jian Xiaojie didn't plan to keep the decoration for too long after it was completed, so she didn't have any worries in this regard.

Therefore, the cream on Wang Shu tastes like a natural milk flavor, has a refreshing taste, and melts in your mouth.

Just like Wang Shu tonight.

And Lu Yao's violent way of eating the cake, when he crushed the cream decoration, the cream splashed and shattered on the surface, was actually full of the beauty of brokenness after violent destruction.

The so-called tragedy is to smash beautiful things in front of others.

When Jian Xiaojie saw this, a pure urge to destroy suddenly gushed out, so she also joined the ranks of violent eating. She suddenly reached out from behind Wang Shu, crushed the cream filling on the other side, and then took a bite.

It is naturally difficult to look good eating like this. The cream is stained on Jian Xiaojie's mouth, as if a vampire is eating.

Dark room.

A beautiful and charming woman.

There is also blood-red cream stained on the lips... All the elements combined together form an extremely exquisite and cult-like picture.

So Jian Xiaojie grabbed Wang Shu's face with her hands covered in crimson cream, and then kissed him, not caring at all that her body would also be stained with cream.

This was what she deserved, and it was also the compensation Wang Shu promised to give her.

Otherwise, why would she go to all the trouble to learn how to decorate a cake? That thing really tests one's patience, okay?
When Jian Xiaojie began to enjoy Wang Shu's cake unscrupulously, the beautifully decorated cake was instantly ruined. The bright red cream broke and splashed. Wang Shu, who was noble and strong just now, became dirty and shabby in the blink of an eye.

It was as if the woman in the legend who was thrown into the swamp, her divinity began to be gradually contaminated by the swamp.

Jian Xiaojie's eating habits were ugly, but her ugly eating habits were full of enthusiasm. After a little resistance at the beginning, Wang Shu quickly began to respond to Jian Xiaojie.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yao no longer remained reserved and started to join the rush for food.

Thus, the originally quiet and beautiful scene was instantly shattered, and the aura of the cult began to flow and surge wantonly, just like the icing cream on Wang Shu's body, which became broken, twisted and chaotic.

Lu Yao and Jian Xiaojie are like the naughty brother and sister in the "Dark Fairy Tale" who broke into the candy house of the kind old lady. With their greed derived from childish nature, they began to devour all the delicious things in the candy. In the end, even the candy house itself was destroyed and devoured by them.

Eating in such a reckless manner is very physically demanding, and as energy is consumed, the body temperature will rise.

The animal cream cake, which had a very low melting point, gradually melted and flowed freely like bright red blood, forming a pool of blood in this dimly lit room, making the cult atmosphere in the room even stronger.

After a long time, Lu Yao and Jian Xiaojie, who had satisfied their appetite, stopped eating the cake.

It was as if they were playing a crazy cake-smashing game, and got themselves covered in cream. The cream mixed with their sweat made it extremely slippery and uncomfortable.

Only then did Lu Yao stand up from the carpet. He looked at the cream stains all over the floor, the stained carpet and sofa, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Too crazy..."

"Look how dirty this place is."

Jian Xiaojie, however, was contentedly lying on the carpet, not caring about the silly smile all over her body, and asked, "What's wrong?"

“Replace all with new ones.”

But after saying that, she curled her lips and said, "No, these things carry too many memories. I will buy another house to process these things and then display them. Wow~~ It's very artistic just thinking about it."

Lu Yao smiled speechlessly.

Humans always like to give souls to things that have no souls.

Jian Xiaojie even planned to buy a house to use as an exhibition hall... Never mind, as long as she is happy.

Wang Shu, whose cream was eaten up, even had a lot of cream on her hair, but she didn't care about it at the moment. Instead, she rested her head on Lu Yao's legs and said, "I will be going abroad in two days. I hope this gift can accompany you through this year's Spring Festival."

"I'll be back soon." Lu Yao smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, I'll take good care of myself."

"Ah."

Jian Xiaojie said sourly: "Ah, my, I won't see you for a long time, and you didn't tell me this?"

Wang Shu smiled and said, "Then come to New Zealand to find me after you finish your work, and then we will come back together after the New Year."

Jian Xiaojie then smiled happily: "Okay~"

After they finished chatting, Lu Yao climbed up from the red cream carpet and wanted to go to the bathroom to wash himself. Then Jian Xiaojie urged Sister Wang to follow him in.

Although the world of three people is not crowded, the bathroom for three people is still too crowded.

As time goes by, many confrontations will occur.

So Lu Yao, who usually took a shower for no more than ten minutes, took almost an hour this time.

Lu Yao, Jian Xiaojie and Wang Shu all felt particularly fulfilled on the early Valentine's Day. When the three of them left here the next day, their steps were a little weak. Wang Shu, who was physically weaker, even had to hold on to the wall to get into the car with Lu Yao and leave.

……

After celebrating Valentine's Day in advance, Lu Yao continued to devote himself to the work before the New Year.

The annual meeting of Guang'an Online Game Company has already been held, and the annual meeting of Huasheng Life will be held on the 12th. So after spending time with Jian Xiaojie and Wang Shu on the th, Lu Yao got dressed up and attended the annual meeting of Huasheng Life with Wang Shu the next day.

There are many people at Huasheng Life’s annual meeting, and there are also many prizes and bonuses at the meeting, but Huasheng Life is a physical enterprise, although the year-end bonus is considered a lot compared to other physical enterprises.

But it is different from companies like Lu Yao that are involved in the Internet industry, so its scale and level of attention are far less than Guangan Online Game Company.

When Huasheng Life was first established, it competed with local supermarkets in Shangnan, and even staged an arson case, which attracted a large number of Huasheng Life employees to gather in the square of Huasheng Life supermarket.

Now, after a fierce battle, the local forces in Shangnan have gradually collapsed, and the families and companies that remain and have not been sanctioned are now very honest.

So when Huasheng Life held its annual meeting, these companies came to congratulate, and even the group CEO came in person.

At the annual meeting of Huasheng Life, Lu Yao also met more business leaders from Shangnan and even from other developed cities.

At the annual meeting of Huasheng Life, after the local business tycoons of Shangnan toasted with Rong Nianqing, Gan Xiaoxi and others, they found Lu Yao and Wang Shu and started to speak politely.

After several rounds of drinking, the local business tycoons of Shangnan told them the purpose of coming to drink with Lu Yao. They hoped that after the new year, Lu Yao could take over the position of "director" of Shangnan Chamber of Commerce, responsible for the evaluation and supervision of the main facilities and resources of Shangnan Chamber of Commerce.

This is a lucrative job in the Chamber of Commerce. It can be considered a benefit given by the Shangnan Chamber of Commerce to Lu Yao, and it is also an olive branch extended to Rong Nianqing.

Lu Yao had previously joined the Shangnan Chamber of Commerce and became a member of it because of the compromise and concessions made by the local forces in Shangnan. Now that the Shangnan Chamber of Commerce has made him a director, it is natural that part of Shangnan's local resources will be transferred to Lu Yao.

At the same time, business tycoons from other developed cities plan to jointly recommend Lu Yao to join the "Southeast Chamber of Commerce" to enable him to gain access to wider connections and resources.

These are all good things, and Lu Yao certainly would not refuse.

Moreover, the reason why these people were so enthusiastic was entirely for Rong Nianqing's sake. The fact that they could appear here and say these things to Lu Yao was obviously also Rong Nianqing's tacit consent.

Lu Yao agreed, and from then on he would probably be the middleman between Rong Nianqing and these people.

Having received so many benefits, Lu Yao of course reciprocated and invited them to attend the annual meeting jointly organized by the MCN company and the voice chat platform - Shangnan Brilliant Night.

Lu Yao plans to turn his company's annual meeting into a landmark program of Shangnan, just like Weibo's Weibo Night. Once it becomes famous, he can use the MCN platform as a connection point to help empower more companies and businesses.

At the banquet, Lu Yao spoke eloquently: "The future commercial market will definitely be the Internet market. It is like a surging river that no one can stop. No matter what impact the Internet will have on the physical world, finance, and technology in the future, there is only one thing we can do -"

“That’s embracing the future.”

In the noisy and grand banquet hall, Lv Yao talked about the future to the Southeast pillars of the business community: "Although the Internet is the future, the future is still made up of people. It's just that the platform has changed."

"So I set up Shangnan Brilliant Night to incubate future internet celebrities. These internet celebrities will eventually serve businesses in the future."

The future Internet economy will experience "short video economy", "live streaming economy" and "Internet celebrity economy".

Although these three economies are essentially about selling goods, they are all based on netizens' preferences and tastes for content on short video platforms.

Short video platforms were originally places for businesses to promote or advertise; soon the focus will be on online celebrities selling goods. Professional live-streaming hosts such as Li Jiaqi and Viya sell frighteningly high amounts of goods a year, and the tax evasion alone can amount to tens of billions.

Then, due to the incubation of short video content, Internet celebrities with strong personal characteristics will officially come onto the stage. Accounts such as Three Sheep, Dayuan Ge, and Crazy Sisters emerged in the later stage of the Internet short video track.

Lu Yao has now incubated and trained many artists, and they are just waiting to take off.

Even if he cannot become a top anchor like Li Jiaqi or Viya, he will win by quantity and help more businesses get involved in the Internet.

This is also the transformation that many companies are seeking nowadays.

Therefore, Lu Yao's eloquent speech really attracted many business tycoons.

The reason why business tycoons become business tycoons is because they seized the trends and opportunities in the past. They do have broad knowledge and abilities, but past experiences cannot be used in the future.

Many business tycoons are not having a smooth transition to the Internet, and this will not change just because they have lots of money and talent.

The most typical...

It’s probably Miss Dong.

At the beginning, Miss Dong saw the trend of the Internet and wanted to join the Internet wave and become a trend-setter. The pictures of her meetings and chats with Internet giants such as Xiaomi and 360 are still popular even ten years later.

But what was the result?

Ten years later, Mr. Lei, who makes mobile phones, can really make a good air conditioner, but Gree, which started out as an air conditioner manufacturer, cannot make a good mobile phone.

There are many large enterprises that have also failed in the Internet transformation. So when Lu Yao analyzed the future trends to these business leaders, the business leaders who already had extensive knowledge and cutting-edge information immediately knew that Lu Yao was not bragging.

He really has something.

As for how to empower enterprises...that is not something that can be done by just talking about it over a dinner table.

So after listening to Lu Yao's analysis, these bigwigs decided to help Lu Yao to promote his "Shangnan Brilliant Night". No matter whether this trend is real or not, and whether the wind is strong or not, they all want to give it a try.

After finishing the business, Lu Yao drank and chatted happily with this group of business tycoons. With the social skills honed by studying abroad, Lu Yao had a great time chatting and laughing with this group of business tycoons.

With that demeanor and composure, those who don't know him would think that Lu Yao was the successor trained by that wealthy family. Who would have thought that just a year and a half ago, he was still a guy who relied on gigolos and traffic to get to the top.

When the wine was finished, those big guys who had been drinking and chatting happily with Lu Yao were even a little reluctant to leave, and surrounded Lu Yao before parting.

"Boss Lu, please spare some time to come sit with me in the future. I will definitely make clear arrangements for you!"

"Hey! We are close to each other, Mr. Lu can come over and join us when the time comes!"

"What are you saying? Can't we go together just because we are far away? Transportation is so convenient nowadays and we can go anywhere quickly. Take me with you!"

Lu Yao was constantly socializing with this group of business tycoons, saying polite words like "sure, sure". Just saying these words like a tape recorder made Lu Yao's head buzz.

After finally finishing talking to this group of people and returning to his car, Lu Yao leaned back in the car seat and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"call--"

so tired!

This is socializing.

Talking seems simple, but even if you keep talking without thinking, it consumes a lot of energy; not to mention that all the polite words at a banquet require thinking, and you also need to make appropriate responses according to the situation at the time and constantly create a atmosphere.

In addition, you have to keep drinking, clinking glasses, and making gestures of laughing.

This consumes a lot of brain, heart, physical and mental strength. In some places where the drinking culture is extremely prevalent, socializing can even shorten one's life.

Many people in business often spend their years drinking and eventually develop cirrhosis of the liver.

For introverts, socializing is a form of intense self-consumption, and it may even take several days to restore energy and condition after a socializing event.

Wang Shu, who was also in the car, smiled distressedly and said, "Let me drive."

Lu Yao looked to the side and said, "Aren't you tired? Let's call a designated driver."

Wang Shu smiled and said, "I still have enough strength to drive."

Lu Yao praised: "Sister Wang is so considerate."

Wang Shu, who is also in the business world, certainly understands how tiring socializing is, so she doesn't understand why so many TV dramas now show women complaining about their husbands socializing outside...

I don’t understand how those people who make TV dramas confuse socializing with fooling around. Even if the screenwriters who write the scripts don’t understand, how can the directors who make the TV dramas not understand?

Sister Wang chatted with Lu Yao while driving. When talking about this, she complained that she couldn't find any dramas to watch when she wanted to relax on her business trips, because she thought those dramas were too stupid.

Lu Yao was half lying on the passenger seat. He smiled and said, "If you want to talk about this, then the water is really deep."
