Gently massage the entire face and rinse thoroughly with water.

Limit the entire face-washing time to under four minutes.

Next, pat and spread a gentle skin toner to fully hydrate the skin and relieve tightness.

Then lock in the skin’s moisture with lotion and cream, which also provide hydrating and moisturizing effects.

Since the UV rays were strong today, he finished by spraying on a layer of sunscreen.

Having fair and healthy skin isn’t easy.

Following the steps instructed by Zhao Yaqian, Tang Song finished the routine in twenty minutes.

After that, using the method taught by Teacher Tony, he fashioned a decent American-style front tuck.

He changed into a spring outfit recommended by netizens.

Long sleeve + printed shirt jacket + straight-leg pants + sneakers.

The clothes were bought online, and a whole set cost only 5 or 600 yuan, with quite good quality.

Standing before the mirror, Tang Song revealed a joyful smile as he looked himself over.

Compared to his first day of transformation, he really had undergone a drastic change.

He even looked a bit like a stylish guy now, very fashion.

After thinking it over, he put the 3D mask back on and stood at the same spot where he had taken his first post photo for a full-body selfie.

Opening the silhouette APP, he pieced together the two photos, then imported a series of images documenting his weight scale readings over the past 14 days, daily fat-reducing meals, and the amount of exercise, added a few silky transition effects, and finally chose an inspirational BGM.

Soon, a 90-second summary video was completed, marking the end of the first phase of his transformation.

After watching it a few times, Tang Song couldn’t help but feel a surge of satisfaction—he had done so much without even realizing it.

After reflecting for a while, he shared the video on Little Red Book.

Title: Listen to Advice Transformation Vlog Season One Summary.

He had just posted it.

“Buzz buzz buzz—” Several WeChat messages popped up.

In the company’s small group chat, Guo Peng was sharing live photos of his car and his driving experience over the past two days.

It was clear that Brother Guo truly loved his little Civic.

Even though he was a hardcore homebody, he drove his car to the suburban park early in the morning on the weekend and forcibly took a lot of atmospheric photos.

Soon, other colleagues joined in, discussing automobile-related topics with great enthusiasm.

Tang Song, about to own his first car, couldn’t resist joining in the chat.

[Guo Peng: “@Tang Song It’s almost time, get ready to head out? We’ll meet at the auto repair shop.”]

He checked his watch, 9:10 AM.

Thinking of his soon-to-be-seen car, Tang Song also grew a bit restless and quickly replied, “On my way! See you in a bit!”

[Wang Chaoyang: “@Tang Song @Guo Peng Don’t forget to share the car you’re interested in with the group, we’ll give you some advice!”]

[Li Zhichao: “Buying a car is a big deal, we need collective wisdom.”]

Tang Song responded with an OK emoji, smiling.

This small group had only five people, all colleagues with good relationships at the company, often ordering takeout and playing King of Glory together; they were quite invested in his car buying process.

…

Mingjun Auto Repair Factory was located on Taijing Road in West Bridge district, with old two-story buildings along the road and various car parts shops and small diners densely packed, offering a township feel at a glance.

Getting off the taxi, Tang Song walked through a simple iron gate into a spacious yard.

The first thing that caught his eye was about ten cars, some neatly arranged, while others were being disassembled and painted.

Surrounding the area was a ring of red-brick bungalows housing various equipment—lifts, tire repair machines, polishing machines, paint drums…

Overall, this was a rather unattractive but formal auto repair shop.

“Beep beep beep—” Short honks sounded.

Guo Peng crawled out of a small sedan, followed by a man in a blue mechanic’s uniform.

As they approached, Guo Peng patted his shoulder and said enviously, “Goodness, you’re really dressed to the nines today. I never realized you were so good-looking. You’re just as handsome as Du Shaokai.”

“I’m about to buy a car, naturally I should dress up a bit.”

“Looks like you’re determined to get one! Come on, I’ll take you to choose a car! There’s a balloon in my car, and later on, I’ll pick up a bouquet of flowers from the roadside for you. Let’s have a car pickup ceremony just like those at the 4S dealerships!”

“Brother Guo is really thoughtful, I’m up for that!”

After joking around for a bit, Guo Peng introduced him, “This is my cousin, Li Mingjun. And this is Tang Song, the guy I told you about. He’s super reliable and our company’s tech wizard.”

Li Mingjun was around 27 or 28 with a crew cut, thick lips, and a kindly smile.

The two greeted each other, officially making their acquaintance.

Then they got straight to the point and started looking at cars one by one and test driving them.

There were a total of five cars in the yard that met his requirements: price under 40,000, fuel-efficient, durable, and in excellent condition.

Though Tang Song had seen pictures and descriptions on WeChat beforehand, touching the actual cars was a different feeling altogether.

Exterior, interior, space, the three main parts…

With Li Mingjun’s enthusiastic introduction, Tang Song got a detailed understanding of each car inside and out, gaining a complete recognition of all the vehicles.

Since passing his driving test, he had rarely touched a car and was extra cautious and careful while driving.

After test driving all five cars.

Guo Peng leaned in and asked, “So, made up your mind yet?”

“Brother Guo, which one do you think is the best?” Tang Song was somewhat undecided.

For him, who had never owned his own car, he liked each one.

But, as for love at first sight, an absolute must-have, there wasn’t one.

His first car was all about choosing the one that he felt most comfortable driving and looked the most pleasing, fulfilling his long-held little wish.

“I think that Arrizo 5 and the Fit are both pretty good, one’s a newer year, automatic, while the other retains its value and is fun to drive. Whichever of the two you pick, you won’t regret it.”

“They are pretty good.” Tang Song opened the WeChat group chat; he had taken lots of test drive videos before and posted them to see what his colleagues thought.

[Li Zhichao: “The Swift is the best fit for you, I think these small cars are the most fun to drive.”]

[Wang Chaoyang: “Definitely go for the Fit, the engine is awesome, it’s a space magician, you can lay the back seat flat to fit a fridge, the best choice for young people!”]

[Liu Mingfang: “If we’re talking about space, it’s got to be the Wuling Hongguang. @Tang Song, that white Wuling you showed in your video looks really good, with upgraded headlights, rims, and stickers, plus there’s a luggage rack on top, perfect for trips.”]

As soon as this was said, the others in the group laughed and began to play with the meme.

[Li Zhichao: “It has to be the Wuling! Mid-engine, rear-wheel drive, supercar layout, mysterious power, the stronger the opponent, the stronger it gets!”]

[Wang Chaoyang: “It may not suit you in your glory days, but it’s there to conquer the world with you when you’re just starting out!”]

…

Tang Song was stunned for a moment before his gaze shifted to a white Wuling Hongguang in the corner.

The body was adorned with black and gray patterns, the headlights were round, and the rims were smoked black, making it look particularly spirited under the sunlight.

Noticing his gaze, Li Mingjun said with a smile, “This is a 2020 Wuling Hongguang S, 1.5 manual high configuration.

The owner is a regular customer of mine, and the car has always been maintained and modified here; there’s absolutely no problem with its condition.

This car is a 5-seater version, with an amazingly large space when the back seat is folded down.

Oh, right, the owner is a beautiful woman who runs a clothing store. It’s a first-hand car with less than 50,000 kilometers on it.

Mainly used for transporting clothes and people, the car is in very new condition.

Because she couldn’t keep her business afloat and her family was pressuring her to return to her hometown to work, she consigned the car here.”
