price x f!reader | 1.5k words series directory tags: stalking mention, white lies, jp fears no 'friend zone', entitled cats a/n: john price vs. his feelings. john price vs. old man allegations. john price vs. his barista . ☕

john’s grip tightens on the wheel as he turns onto her street. he’s imagined this moment since he set her in his sight. possessing the patience of a sniper comes in handy with endeavors such as this, and it’s good to pull a trigger that isn’t lethal for once.

she’s waiting outside. good girl.

nose-deep in her phone, she doesn’t notice him until he’s a building away. his heart jumps into his throat when her eyes lift, and her face follows. she squints, then shades her eyes with a hand. a smile breaks the mild confusion, and she rises to her feet from the steps outside her door.

he forces himself to relax, painfully aware of the intensity of his gaze. he can’t risk running her off, but he has to see it—the moment of realization.

it cannot be the same car. calm down, you order yourself, plastering a small smile on your face as john rolls to a stop, grinning back through the window. it’s statistically impossible. there are thousands of cars in town, plenty of the same make and model. this is just the universe’s idea of a cruel joke: giving your favorite customer the same car you smashed your face and arm into. your good hand shakes as you open the door and sink into the passenger seat.

coincidences happen.

“hey.”

“afternoon. you look nice.”

“yeah? i was worried you wouldn’t recognize me without the apron.” she says wryly, draping her bags over her lap.

i’ve memorized your face and more. which one would think would help decipher the minutiae of her expressions. does she recognize the car? remember it? she was drunk and crashed hard enough to break bone—fuck, he hadn’t thought of the effects of the impact. too caught up.

he watches her buckle, eyes falling to her cast. it’s filling with signatures fast. the space that held his number is covered in a drawing of a cat. all that remains is ‘john’.

“did you draw over my number?”

“i didn’t think you’d want the free advertising.”

smart girl. the number isn’t traceable further than falsified records, but it's best to avoid nuisance. he lets the doodle eclipse his grand scheme and pretends to adjust the mirror. he’ll wait until the time is right. “that i don’t.”

the drive to her preferred market is ten minutes by car. she might’ve managed alone, but he’s done some of his best work in ten minutes. performed miracles and misdeeds. he spends this bit on recon.

he susses out a little more information about her life: she’s worked, on and off, as a barista for nearly a decade. she recently took in a kitten, the very one depicted on her arm, and named her chicken cutlet a tortoiseshell.

“it's all i had for food. now cece’s a snob.”

“points for uniqueness.” he grins and gestures at the doodle on her arm. though he doesn’t have much of an eye for art, it’s obviously stylized. “and creativity. bet you did her justice, like a regular artist.”

the comment, meant as a compliment, makes her wince. she ducks her head in poorly concealed shame, pretending to check something in her wallet. it comes out casually, like a weather report—she dropped out of an mfa program to move here, for the ex, a year ago.

the details resurrect his anger.

the tremble in her hand tells him to leave it. he will. for now.

the car park is packed, and it’s all he can do to not celebrate when he finds a space on the first go. he cannot be much older than her, but he’d rather avoid feeding the ‘old man’ reputation his sergeants encourage.

she separates her reusable bags as they climb out of the car. “do you have any pets?”

he circles to her side and takes them without asking, “no. afraid my schedule doesn’t allow for it.”

“oh.”

he beats her to the baskets, tossing her bags into the bottom, and she strolls past him. he traipses behind, head on a subtle swivel, inwardly tickled at how normal it feels. it’s not often he shops, let alone in the company of a bird. it makes him puff up. go a bit softer in the face, especially when a woman roughly his mother’s age gives them a long, wistful look in produce.

it’s nice playing house, even in the middle of a bustling supermarket, dodging the less spatially aware and rogue children. it strokes his ego to flex an arm over her head to reach the shelves she can’t and carry a bag of cat litter in the other. he cracks a joke about tinned fish, and though she doesn’t laugh, he can tell she wants to. how she ignores his suggestions and color commentary on other shoppers. it’s fascinating to watch her, all business, as if she were behind the coffee bar. tapping items off the list on her phone, triple-checking a recipe.

while she’s distracted, slowly loading the conveyor belt one item at a time, john pushes his luck. he slips his card and pays.

her focus breaks when she sidles up, reaching for her wallet, only for the cashier to offer the receipt. she takes it, confusion turning to understanding, and her jaw clenches. her thanks are muttered, and she promptly joins him in bagging what’s left.

he knows she’s upset before she speaks, practically punching items into the bag.

“please don’t do that again.” she whispers. “my wrist is broken. i am not broke.”

angry as she is, she sails out the doors without waiting. clearly expecting him to tote her bags like a porter and follow.

which he does, of course. it’s what he signed on for.

good view, at least.

the ride back to her place is quiet, but he feels the tension burning away with the light. it’s damn distracting how the sun plays off her skin and hair. ten minutes fly by. she turns to him as the car idles, a storm of thoughts in her eyes. severe, tempestuous, and pretty.

“park. you’re not off the clock.”

“yes, ma’am.”

the bag handles loop into one fist, and the litter rests on his shoulder. he beams, and with the complete confidence he usually carries himself, he starts up the steps of her building.

“uh…john?”

he glances over his shoulder and sees her fidgeting at the bottom of the stairs.

“that’s…not actually my address.”

his brows raise, fall, and pinch in rapid succession. the minx. a fake address. smart.

she sheepishly apologizes on the walk to one street over and explains.

“i mean, this part’s weird.”

“what part?”

“befriending regulars,” she shrugs. “the counter’s there for a reason—to sling espresso, yeah, but it’s also a social barrier.”

“do you often befriend regulars?” he hopes not.

“god, no.”

thank christ. he’ll start memorizing faces on his next trip, just in case.

“but being polite to people is part of my job.”

he cracks a careful grin. “do you get reprimanded for that?”

her eyes roll. “ha. ha. no. my manager’s a coward and afraid of me. what i mean is, it’s a tightrope. be nice, but don’t be too nice to the wrong people, else they’ll stalk you or something.”

john’s gut tightens. what was his plan again? expose her? he manages a chuckle. “and am i one of those…wrong people?” effortless.

“well, you’re a minute from my kitchen with an invitation. so.” she smirks after a second. “are you fishing for a compliment? for me to say you’re special?”

heat shoots up his neck and colors his cheeks. “i am not–”

“relax. i’m joking. but you are the first customer i’ve brought back to my place.”

the phrasing instantly sets him on high alert. it could mean nothing. it could mean anything.

her place is markedly worse than her fake one. he does not like the look of the neighbors, but the exterior light reaches the walk. he bites his tongue when she veers to the side, cutting down a set of steep stairs to the basement. it won’t do, not long-term.

but the interior of her flat—it’s everything he did and did not expect.

it’s sensibly furnished and lit to compensate for its floor plan and limited windows. it’s cozy and colorful, with artwork fixed to the walls and littering various surfaces. some pieces are more notable than others: tiny statuettes of women, a diptych of a cow, and a collage of what looks like found notes. in the living area, there is a console and a headset, a small collection of games and dvds, and ten too many knickknacks. a stuffed backpack occupies a seat at the table.

he moves mechanically behind her, toeing off his shoes and treading straight into the surprisingly decently sized kitchen. he sets the bags and litter down, rolling his shoulder as he soaks it all in.

might be his only chance, after all.

something bumps his shin. two big amber-colored eyes stare up at him, unblinking.

“you must be the famous cece.”

“the one and only.”

the young cat weaves through his legs, then jumps, immediately sticking her pointy head into the bag containing the chicken. she meows, indignant, when her human automatically hooks her around the middle without looking and returns her to the floor.

“bad.” she murmurs, unpacking. “would you mind setting the litter next to the door down the hall?”

john obeys, though he lingers outside of said door, staring through a crack into the dark of her room. she has a big, comfortable-looking bed. a shudder passes over him. an unhelpful throb. christ. feels like a fucking teenager. he pulls himself together, retreating toward the door to leave. probably overstayed his welcome.

just as he turns to say his goodbyes, she glares from the kitchen. around her neck, untied, hangs an apron—don’t be afraid to take whisks.

“where are you going? i’m making dinner.”

it’s not an invitation. it’s an order.

he slips his shoe off.

“yes, ma’am.”

Exclusive interview with Wang Yibo: Maintain a sincere heart丨"War of Faith" hits the airwaves

Since its launch on CCTV 8 in late March, the contemporary youth growth drama "War of Faith", directed by Yao Xiaofeng and written by Weng Liangping, starring Wang Yibo, Li Qin, Wang Yang and others, has been performing well in recent days. The show topped the CVB prime-time ratings the day after it aired. The real-time ratings of Kuyun peaked at 2, and the popularity on iQiyi exceeded 9,600. The ratings are both good. The male protagonist Wei Ruolai, played by young actor Wang Yibo, is also loved by the audience for his smart, intelligent and righteous character.

"He is very passionate, has a sense of justice, is persistent and brave in his work. Even when facing the dark social reality, Wei Ruolai still maintains a sincere heart and wants to change the social status quo through his own efforts." Wang Yibo accepted the Liberation Daily Exclusive interview with a reporter from Shangguan News, explaining what "Wei Ruolai" is in his eyes.

At the beginning of the TV series, there is an assassination, a rescue, and a stock market game. The plot advances on multiple parallel lines, but they contain inextricable connections. "War of Faith" is set in Shanghai in the 1930s. It adopts a novel narrative incision and starts from the perspective of the financial industry. It embeds the storyline on the real historical picture of Shanghai and depicts Shanghai from 1929 to 1934. A scene filled with smoke and silent struggle. This makes the social turmoil in a specific historical period and the intrigue on the financial front in the play cleverly form an intertextuality.

From the character setting point of view, Wei Ruolai is a character with obvious growth meaning. In the complicated political, economic and social environment of Shanghai at that time, Wei Ruolai, as a young man who bravely came to Shanghai from the Jiangxi countryside, rented in Qibao Street, a mixed and dilapidated place. His initial wish was just to be admitted to the Central Bank and have a good job. income. Wang Yibo revealed that what impressed him about the role of Wei Ruolai was his charisma. This ideal and belief in taking family and country as one's own responsibility, as well as the unique passionate feelings of young people, are the character traits that Wang Yibo admires.

As a young man from a poor family who left his hometown to work in Shanghai, Wei Ruolai showed great personal talent in the financial field. Whether he is helping his neighbor Aunt Zhou on Qibao Street to trade stocks, or being fearless in the face of fire during the central bank exam, the character's agility and human touch are all reflected. When Wei Ruolai got up early to rush to the central bank for an interview, her pair of torn socks, her leather shoes that "gathered dust" under the bed, and her slightly messy hairstyle in the mirror all gave the scenes in the play a sense of life.

In Wang Yibo's view, Wei Ruolai was just like the young people of that era. Although he initially regarded his career as a job that could earn more money to support his family, he had his own ideals and ambitions in his heart. This can be seen from his bent on joining the central bank. "In the context of the times, he was eager to create value through his own efforts on the best financial platform, improve people's livelihood, and make society better."

"War of Faith" adopts a two-line parallel narrative structure. One line is a financial war without gunpowder, and the other is a thrilling spy war drama. In the workplace where the central bank is the stage, the new senior adviser Shen Tunan (played by Wang Yang) plays the role of Wei Ruolai's master and becomes his guide on the career path. Shen Tunan is both good and evil, and he wants to promote Shanghai's financial reform, and he does not hesitate to take risks with his own life. Shen Tunan's sister Shen Jinzhen (played by Li Qin) and Wei Ruolai's brother Wei Ruochuan are both underground members of the Communist Party of China. In the dark current situation, they disregard their personal lives for the cause of the party. Therefore, these important characters surrounding Wei Ruolai constituted his dilemma in social situation, and also laid the foundation for Wei Ruolai and Shen Tunan to part ways.

Wang Yibo feels that Shen Tunan plays an important role in Wei Ruolai's professional and personal growth. "Wei Ruolai, who had just entered the workplace and had no work experience, just rushed forward with momentum and persistence. Therefore, he admired Shen Tunan very much and once regarded him as the direction of his life's efforts. The two of them also learned from each other in the process of getting along."

But as Wei Ruolai received more and more attention, the corruption within the Kuomintang was exposed in front of him. Inspired by the people around him, Wei Ruolai and Shen Tunan eventually embarked on completely different paths of faith. "After experiencing a series of changes such as investigating the counterfeit currency case and treasury bills, he witnessed the darkness and corruption of the current situation, and realized that he needed to change the status quo of the country and fight for the people. Therefore, the sense of opposition between his master and his faith made him once I lost confidence in Shen Tunan, who was once a like-minded person, and eventually embarked on a different path of faith, but Shen Tunan has always been Wei Ruolai's guide"

Director Yao Xiaofeng once said in an interview that he chose Wang Yibo to play the role because he saw many similarities between the two. "I saw something in Wang Yibo. I felt that this story should be filmed as a small character who came to a big city to develop, and then accidentally got involved in a bloody storm and fell into a battle between two forces that were beyond his power. , let him hesitate, let him make a choice."

In one scene, his brother Wei Ruochuan was betrayed by his companions. After searching for Wei Ruolai in Shanghai, he eventually died due to excessive blood loss. In this scene, Wang Yibo performed Wei Ruolai's pain and fear. After his brother died, Wei Ruolai had no time to grieve and buried his brother in pain overnight. "In such a terrifying period, if you have a Communist brother, you have to be screened, and the first thing you will definitely bring is fear. I was very impressed by Wang Yibo in this scene, and the whole audience applauded (after filming)." Yao Xiaofeng said. In Wang Yibo's eyes, Yao Xiaofeng is a director who pays great attention to details. "He is more of a good guide to the actors in terms of performance. He will let me use my own real experiences and feelings to understand the character's current emotions, allowing the actors to perform the performance more closely to life."

In real life, Wang Yibo likes racing. When a reporter asked which scene in "War of Faith" was the most fun, his answer was a bit unexpected but reasonable. "The most fun thing was riding a motorcycle from that era." As for what themes or roles he wants to challenge in the future, his answer is also very open, "I want to try them all, and have a sense of freshness."

#AAAAHHHH YASSS THANK YOU FOR THE INTERVIEW!#wang yibo #wei ruolai #war of faith #accio victuuri translation

Rhian, drop your morning/night routine!

Rhian: In the morning, I don't "wake up" like most do. Instead, I simply get out of bed since I'm usually up all night attempting to fall asleep. Repose rarely overtakes me, and my mind's always reeling. I may have to commission a sleeping draught from a witch one day.

At this stage of the morning, Rafal is usually still out cold, and it doesn't matter how loud I am, so I listen to the morning Kingdom Council spellcast reports from a mirror I've ensorcelled at full volume and review the Putsi market trends as I start on my routine.

The Gillikin Gazette's updates about its ongoing cathedral construction are my favorites though—its flying buttresses rival Camelot's dated, heavier Romanesque designs. I only manage to catch those reports on Saturdays though since I have to be out of the tower and on my way at an early hour most days. Oh, and I tend to cast a spell, so my bed makes itself while I busy myself with more important tasks.

Firstly, I need my ermine slippers and silk dressing gown. I shower and usually start with a facial, rosewater, or whichever magical cure-all I'm currently using to remove my under-eye shadows with.

Though, Rafal's been a bother about the cucumbers I go through. He thinks I'll drain the Woods' supply and that he won't have any left for his sandwiches. Mind you, that isn't true in the least.

I use charcoal imported from Akgul to remove impurities of the skin, and that's been rather effective as of late. I also ice my pores, page through Maxine's progress reports, and keep tabs on the lackadaisical performers. Tracking's very important at a School like ours, you know.

On some occasions, I do my own makeup, but really, it seems to me that only the Evergirls care if they notice at all. These days, I've been fond of whipped beetroot tinctures and orchid cologne. Then, I arrange my hair, dress suitably for the day's activities in whichever clothes I pressed the night before, and polish my boots. I polish Rafal's too. He doesn't notice or care—thinks we're immune to disease and scrutiny—but he's missing the point. It's about image, of course. And I worry that he'll bring bird mites from his Stymphs indoors, and that would not only be unseemly for a School Master, but a disaster of inordinate proportions, even if our health isn't at risk. Think of the parent complaints we'd receive, if we had an infestation. The picket-lines would never end!

When I head out, Rafal's almost always still asleep, so I bring us back breakfast, and wake him then.

Well, I say "wake him," but rousing him isn't as simple as I've likely led you to believe. By now, it's turned into an awfully elaborate burlesque. I switch mirror channels to the Jaunt Jolie Music Hall's Cricket and Brass orchestra production of the day. If that fails, I bang a ladle on our breakfast's silver cloche over him. And if all else fails, I shout "FIRE," "INVASION," or even "PIRATES" if I'm desperate and running late, and that does the trick. I still haven't figured out if he's been deluding me though, or if it's his dreams that leave him with those horrid little grins.

Yet, this particular song-and-dance of sorts has been more of a recent development. His clarion-belled alarm clock from Geppetto's broke last month, and he hasn't had the time to replace it. The flight's a day's trip, and this new class of Nevers cannot be left alone for more than a day because he's sure there'll be either an outbreak of some pox or of some general pandemonium since he doesn't think I'm capable of maintaining order. I'm more than capable in truth.

We eat then, he in his pajama shorts and shirt and black stockings with the runs I chastise him about throwing out everyday, and me in my typical smart attire.

At the end, I wash up, sit, and wait for him to set the dishes to scrubbing themselves, comb his hair, and dress. After that, we split off to our respective sides for the day, and I see him again at dusk.

"Bye." or "Morning, brother." is as talkative as he gets at this time of day before he vanishes into the Tunnel of Trees or crosses the Halfway Bridge into the smog, unless he has a storybook victory to congratulate himself over or another point to bolster his side of an argument with—arguments I naively believed we'd already put to bed the night before.

After a full day of overseeing classes, Rafal legs it over the window sill when he returns and showers immediately when he gets back. Then, he grades papers and exams. On days when he's exhausted by puppeteering mock battle raids or Storian knows what he subjects those poor children to, he passes out in bed fully-clothed without showering, and showers in the morning.

All the while, I perform my nightly skin- and hair care routines, snuff out the candles, and get in bed with an eye mask, in my attempt to get a good night's sleep, often sooner than he goes to bed because he reads news updates and whatever musty tome he's tearing through late into the night.

Sometimes, I wake in the middle of a night terror and realize he's still up marking or reading or scheming, so I confiscate the candles at that point and force him to sleep. Rarely does he listen, and I've stopped bothering most of the time as he reads by the light of his fingerglow instead, contrary to all sound advice. He doesn't view sleep as necessary seeing as the Storian sustains us, but he has no sleep troubles, so I suppose that's an easy conclusion to form if you're him. The latest remedy I've resorted to is tucking lavender into my pillowcase, but I've had not a drop of luck.

#school for good and evil #rise of the school for good and evil #rhian #rhian mistral #rafal #rafal mistral #sge #sfgae #the school for good and evil #tsfgae #rotsge #rotsfgae #my post #ask #dialogue #morning routine #night routine #insomnia #insomniac

Risky Business

Pairing: Max Lord/Male OC Rating: Explicit. Seriously, over 18s only. Word count: 2252

Summary: Max finds himself in the men's room at the office when he spots something interesting… a glory hole

Warnings: Oral sex, public blow job, come eating, a little bit of internalized homophobia

Note: This has not been beta read so I apologize for any mistakes.

The meeting was dragging, and Max was on the verge of losing his temper. It was bad enough that it had started over an hour late due to a miscommunication with the marketing department, but now it was overrunning due to one overeager junior executive. The guy was clearly angling for a promotion, and on some level Max respected that, but boring your bosses was not a smart move. Hansen… Harmen… Herman… whatever his name was, had been speaking for forty-five minutes now about… something…

Max had no idea, truthfully, he’d started tuning him out after only ten minutes. By this point, the young man had completely screwed himself. Any point he’d hoped to make could have been made a long time ago. Glancing around the table, all Max could see were glazed-over eyes and a couple of the older execs gently snoozing.

While this was a waste of time, the bigger issue troubling Max was that the longer this went on, the more uncomfortable he was becoming. He needed to pee. He’d needed to pee for about an hour. He had his legs firmly crossed under the table and had stopped sipping on his water, but the problem wasn’t going to go away.

“...there is a clear link between-”

“I’m going to need to interrupt you there.” Max cut him off, finally reaching his limit. “You make some excellent points, but we’re running over here. Put everything in a report, and I promise you, I’ll look it over.”

“Sir, I-”

“It’s getting late.” Max locked eyes with the young man, his tone turning a little firmer. “Put a report together and send it to me.”

“I… yes, Sir.”

The sigh of relief from the rest of the gathered men was audible, making the overeager young man blush. As everyone started to file out, Max remained seated, his legs still tightly crossed. To his dismay, Grant Davidson, one of the senior board members, was lingering. Probably hoping to speak with him.

“Grant.” Max stood carefully, his smile fixed as he approached the other man. “Whatever it is, can it wait?” He dropped his voice to a whisper. “I really need the bathroom.”

“Oh.” Grant waved a hand and nodded. “Of course, of course. It can wait, I’ll meet you back at your office. Oh, and I hope you’re not too desperate. The executive bathroom on this floor is out of order.”

“What?” Max paused at the door. “You’re kidding me! Damn it! Where is the closest one?”

Grant thought for a moment. “Two floors down, I think, unless you want to slum it. There might be one on the east side of the building on this floor, but I’ve never been in it, so I can’t speak to its condition.”

“Thanks.” Max nodded as Grant sauntered away. Weighing up his options and his screaming bladder, Max sighed deeply. He was going to have to brave the unknown bathroom.

Leaving the conference room, Max headed towards the elevators and then took a right into the east side of the building. The east side of each floor was dedicated to the non-public-facing side of the business. Maintenance, mail room, interns. Each floor was different, and this one was a rabbit warren of small storage rooms and offices for the lowest-paid employees. Finally, as Max feared he would have to duck into a closet and piss in a corner, he spotted the men’s room.

Pushing the door open, it wasn’t as bad as he feared. It wasn’t anywhere as nice as the executive bathrooms he was used to, but it was clean and smelt fresh. A single urinal was next to the two stalls to the right of the door. On the opposite wall were two sinks with a large mirror hanging over them. Max stepped forward and then frowned as he noticed the “out of order” sign hung haphazardly on the urinal. Grumbling under his breath, he turned on his heel and headed into the stall furthest from the door. Yanking his fly open and freeing his cock, Max let out a long, loud sigh as the stream began.

Relief filled his body as Max continued to piss, taking the opportunity to glance around the cubical as he did. Bland gray tiles stretched from door to ceiling, with only the mirky green of the stall dividing wall and door to add a pop of color. Max looked around with a slight sneer on his face at the dismal condition of the bathroom before his eyes snapped back to the wall of the stall.

Was that a hole?

Shaking the final drops of pee from his cock, Max didn’t bother to tuck himself away as he bent down to get a better look. It was definitely a hole. Perhaps four inches across, not quite perfectly circular, and it had obviously been cut by an amateur rather than be a part of the design of the stall. Max was puzzled for a couple of seconds before he realized what he was looking at.

A glory hole.

A men’s room in Black Gold’s headquarters had a glory hole. A small shiver ran down Max’s spine at the thought of all the men who might have come in here since the hole was cut. How long had it been here? Right under his nose. Max’s cock twitched as he flushed the toilet before lowering the lid and sitting down.

Idly stroking his hardening cock Max bit his lip as he wondered how many men used this hole on a daily basis. Was it well-known in the building? Was that why Grant had sent him here?

Reaching into his trousers, Max pulled his balls out, rolling them in his left hand as he lazily pumped his cock to full hardness. Spitting into his palm, Max was just settling in and was ready to jerk off when he heard the men’s room door open. Max froze, listening to the man’s shoes click on the tiled floor.

The man went into the stall next to Max, and for a few seconds, Max sat in silence with his cock in hand, wondering if his new neighbor had come just to pee or wanted something more. The seconds ticked by while Max ran his thumb over the tip of his cock, watching as a bead of precum formed before rubbing in gently over the slit.

Max wasn’t sure how to get the other man’s attention. He’d never even seen a glory hole before, let alone used one. Licking his lips, Max racked his brain, trying to think how to get the other man’s attention.

As if answering his thoughts, Max’s eyes lit up as a semi-erect cock slid into view, as the man in the next stall thrust into the hole. With barely a second's hesitation, Max was on his knees, mouth open, wrapping his lips around the tip of the stranger’s dick. There was a barely audible gasp from the other stall, and Max smiled. This was everything he’d wanted. He’d had fantasies about this for years, and now it was happening.

His own cock throbbed, but he ignored it. Instead, he brought one hand up to grip the base of the length in front of him as he began to work. He started by teasing his tongue around the head, gently poking at the slit with the tip of his tongue before flattening it out and sucking on the head.

Inch by inch, Max worked his way down the length of the shaft until he could feel it hit the back of his throat. He gagged slightly, just long enough to feel tears pricking his eyes, before pulling back and beginning again. His own arousal ached between his legs, but all Max could focus on was the cock in his mouth. The world blurred around him as he swallowed the throbbing length again and again.

Enveloping the cock once more, Max traced his tongue along the underside, drawing a hiss from the stranger. As his lips stretched around the girth, the sinful desire to be degraded filled his being. Rolling his hips in the air in time with his ministrations, Max hollowed his cheeks, bobbing his head along the full erection before him.

On the other side of the thin wall, gasps, grunts and the occasional whine filtered out of the other man’s mouth, filling the men's room. It wasn’t long before his jaw was aching. As much as Max wanted this, he wasn’t used to putting in this much work.

‘I’ll have to do this more often to build up the stamina.’ He thought with a small grin.

Pulling back to focus on the tip, Max swirled his tongue around it before flicking at the slit just as before. The tang of precum was Max’s reward, dribbling out of his open mouth and gliding down his swollen lips.

Ghosting his tongue over the leaking red head, Max worked the shaft into his mouth to the very back of his throat. Swallowing around the length, he shivered in pleasure as he pulled a loud, wanton moan from the other man. After swallowing for a second time, Max still himself, the desire to be used overtaking him. He needed his mouth fucking. He needed to be used as an object. He needed to choke on this cock. He needed this to complete the fantasy he’d had in his head for so long.

Understanding what Max wanted, or needed, the other man began fucking slowly into his mouth, testing the water to see if this was what Max truly wanted. When Max didn’t move or pull away and instead opened his throat as much as he could, the other man started to pick up the pace. Soon, the unseen stranger was thrusting his full length into Max’s waiting mouth with abandon. Max’s face burned as his skin prickled with arousal while needy, wet, gagging noises were pushed out of his mouth with every thrust.

His own cock leaked onto the floor between his knees, throbbing in time with the cock gliding over his tongue. He could feel himself tumbling towards the edge and Max reached up both his hands to steady himself against the wall of the stall. His vision swam as the other man began panting loudly on the other side of the partition.

With a breathy cry, the man came, flooding Max’s mouth with bitter, salty seed. Swallowing what he could, Max could feel some of the come escaping, dribbling out of his mouth and down his chin. Resisting the urge to wipe it away, a shiver ran through Max’s body at the thought of looking at his come-stained lips in the mirror later. Digging his nails into the hard wood of the stall, Max moaned around the cock, still twitching on his tongue. Time seemed to slow as his nails scraped against the wall of the stall, his back arched and his body quivered as he released himself into the men’s room floor untouched.

The cock gently withdrew, and Max could hear the sound of a zipper companied by a long sigh. Still on his knees, Max didn’t trust his legs enough yet to stand. Instead, leaning his head against the cool wood of the stall, Max tried to focus his eyes. Between his legs, his small cock was already softening, shrinking back down to its usual micro state. He could see the other man’s feet, with nice-looking, moderately expensive shoes, shifting around before leaving the stall.

Max heard the rush of water coming from the faucet, and while the other man busied himself at the sink, Max climbed to his feet. The full realization of what he’d just done was starting to dawn on him. What if someone found out? He was the CEO of Black Gold! He was meant to set an example. What would people say?

Pinching his eyes shut, Max sat down on the toilet and waited for the other man to leave. What had he been thinking? This wasn’t like jacking off in the privacy of his office or the regular ‘massage’ sessions he’d been having. He’d blown one of his employees. Surely, there were laws about this kind of thing.

The sound of the men’s room door clicking shut snapped him out of his spiral. Max opened his eyes and let out a long, loud sigh. Time to get back to reality and possibly face the music for his moment of fantasy.

Tucking himself back into his trousers, Max grabbed some tissue to wipe up the mess he’d made. Bending down to clean up the come, Max’s eyes were drawn to a small piece of cardboard on the floor just under the stall door. Finishing his task, Max picked it up, turning it over in his hand. His eyes widened, and a grin spread across his face as he realized what it was.

A business card. Looking it over, Max could see that there was no name, but there was a number.

Tucking it into his pocket, Max left the stall and went over to the sinks to clean up. Come had dried slightly on his chin, while his already plush lips were pink and swollen. Max smirked to himself at his disheveled state. Putting himself back to his usual well-groomed state, Max couldn’t keep the grin off his face. Leaving the men’s room, he patted the card in his pocket as he made his way back to his office. The possibilities were intriguing.

The Art of Predicting USDCHF Moves Through Budget Balance Alright, let's jump right into one of the most overlooked aspects of USDCHF trading: budget balance analysis. You know how your personal finances need some managing to make sure you don't end up living on instant noodles every night? Well, guess what? Currencies are kind of the same. But we're talking big boy finances here—the kind that makes central banks sweat. And when you understand how the budget balance impacts USDCHF, you unlock a whole new level of strategic insight. Now, budget balance might sound as thrilling as watching paint dry, but—wait for it—here's where the magic really happens. Imagine this scenario: you're buying USDCHF without understanding the budget deficit trends, and it's like buying that overly flashy car just to find out you're paying a fortune in upkeep. The secret is in leveraging these financial trends that help you avoid trades that fall apart faster than my New Year's resolutions. But let’s get into the nitty-gritty. This article isn’t just for looking smart at cocktail parties; this is about strategy—actionable, ninja-level Forex tactics that have the potential to save your trading bacon. Let's see why USDCHF budget balance matters and how it can be used as a weapon in your trading arsenal. Hidden Patterns That Drive the Market What is budget balance in Forex, anyway? Simply put, it’s the difference between a country's revenue (think taxes, tariffs, and all the good stuff that brings in the cash) and its expenses (think infrastructure, social services, paying for that weirdly shaped government building, etc.). When the U.S. or Switzerland reports a budget deficit or surplus, you bet your best coffee bean that the USDCHF is going to move—whether up, down, or sideways (okay, not literally sideways, but you get the point). Here’s where most traders miss the mark. They look at economic data, but they don't quite see it. They might notice that the U.S. is running a budget deficit, but they don't connect that to what’s happening with the dollar’s strength. Does the budget balance mean the dollar's going to tank, or does it mean the Federal Reserve is about to raise interest rates to stabilize the economy? These are the kinds of connections you need to make if you want to trade USDCHF like a pro. Why Most Traders Get It Wrong (And How You Can Avoid It) Most traders are like, "Economic data? Meh, I'll just follow the MACD." Look, I love technical indicators as much as the next trader, but it’s like trying to drive while only looking in your rearview mirror—you’re going to end up in a ditch sooner or later. The budget balance gives you a heads-up on where the road ahead might twist or turn. And that’s not to say it’s always straightforward. Oh no. Sometimes a budget surplus isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. What if that surplus is due to slashing spending in a way that kills economic growth? Then the CHF might look like the underdog ready to stage a Rocky Balboa comeback, and you want to be on the right side of that fight. Advanced Insights: Leveraging Budget Data in Real Time The secret sauce? Timing. Budget balances are released at specific times, and these are like golden nuggets of potential profit. It’s not just about the numbers—it’s how the market reacts to those numbers. To time your trades effectively, you need to understand both the headline data and the context. Did the market expect a worse deficit? Did the announcement shock everyone? Think of this data like a reality TV plot twist—if everyone expected drama but got something boring, there’s a letdown, and the impact might be minimal. But surprise them with a shocking twist (like a budget surplus out of the blue), and suddenly, USDCHF might take off faster than a cat being chased by a vacuum cleaner. Contrarian Play: When the Market Freaks Out, You Get Paid Here’s a little trick that savvy traders use: when everyone is panicking, they stay cool as a cucumber—kind of like being the only calm person in a room full of headless chickens. When budget balance data comes out worse than expected, USDCHF might initially drop. But guess what? That's when the opportunity lies. Often, panic leads to irrational over-selling. Remember, markets aren’t driven by rational robots—they’re driven by human beings who often overreact. As my old mentor used to say, "Markets are often wrong in the short term." So, look for moments when fear is driving the price down too far. Enter then, ride the recovery, and watch your profits soar. The Forgotten Strategy That Outsmarted the Pros Now, let’s talk about an unheard-of approach: incorporating budget balance trends into a contrarian USDCHF strategy. Here’s the deal—instead of following the obvious momentum, look for mismatches. If the U.S. is struggling with budgetary issues but the market keeps rallying the dollar, ask yourself—is this sustainable? If it’s not, that’s your cue. Take a page from the playbook of George Soros (you know, the guy who "broke the Bank of England"). Soros didn't shy away from going against the herd when the fundamentals pointed another way. When you see a clear disconnect between the budget reality and the market hype, you might have a perfect setup for a contrarian play. How to Predict Market Moves with Precision Predicting moves in USDCHF isn’t about staring at your screen until the answer magically appears—it’s about analyzing the broader financial environment. For instance, when budget balance data is released, it often comes alongside other critical economic indicators. Look for convergence: are budget balance, interest rates, and employment data all suggesting one direction for USDCHF? If yes, you’re not making a prediction—you’re almost just stating the obvious (and collecting pips like a boss). And let’s be real—it feels pretty darn good when you call the market right. Almost as good as finding out your favorite coffee shop is giving free refills. Almost. The One Simple Trick That Can Change Your Trading Mindset You know that feeling when you accidentally hit the sell button instead of buy? Yeah, it’s pretty much the same as accidentally drinking your friend's salt-laden coffee because they mixed up the sugar—a small mistake, but the consequences aren’t pretty. The trick is to train your mindset not to overreact to budget balance data. Treat it with the importance it deserves, but don’t let it dictate your emotions. Budget balance trends are pieces of a much larger puzzle—they give you an edge, but not the whole picture. Approach each data release with caution, and more importantly, perspective. Are these numbers likely to lead to sustained policy changes? Or is this just a temporary hiccup in a much larger economic arc? Where to Go From Here Alright, I’ve given you a behind-the-scenes look at how budget balance influences USDCHF—hopefully in a way that doesn’t feel like a dull economics lecture. You now know why understanding budget data is so crucial and how to leverage it to predict market moves. But don’t stop here—practice reading the market’s reaction to economic indicators, combine your technical analysis with these advanced fundamentals, and join the exclusive group of traders who actually know what’s going on. Looking to up your game? I’ve got just the thing. Head over to StarseedFX’s community for exclusive insights, daily alerts, and live trading tips that take your strategy to the next level. And don’t forget—our free trading journal at StarseedFX is the perfect way to keep track of your trades and refine your game. Happy trading, and remember—stay curious, stay bold, and stay profitable. —————– Image Credits: Cover image at the top is AI-generated Read the full article

Using AI technologies for future asset management - AI News

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/using-ai-technologies-for-future-asset-management-ai-news/

Using AI technologies for future asset management - AI News

.pp-multiple-authors-boxes-wrapper display:none; img width:100%;

Did you know that effective asset management practices pose challenges for almost half of small businesses? According to the latest research, 43% of businesses either manually report their inventory or in a few cases, do not record assets in any manner.

However, asset management is not immune to the disruptive pressure of artificial intelligence (AI) currently revolutionising numerous industries. The manner in which corporations manage their tangible and intangible assets is undergoing a profound transformation due to the evolving technology of AI. This blog will discover how AI-driven fixed asset software softwares transform asset management and what the future holds for businesses embedding those innovations.

Introduction to fixed asset management and AI

Fixed asset management is a critical feature for organisations to manage, control, and optimise the value of their physical assets. Assets can include everything from equipment and vehicles to home computer systems. Traditionally, manual asset management systems entail manual report maintenance and periodic audits, which can be time-consuming and susceptible to human error.

AI-driven fixed assets software offers a modern solution by automating diverse asset control factors. This guarantees accuracy, reduces administrative overhead, and increases an asset’s useful life, ultimately contributing to significant cost savings. AI, blended with the Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning (ML), and predictive analytics, is the primary method to develop smart, efficient, and scalable asset management solutions.

The predictive capacities of AI revolutionise proactive asset management. AI can predict when a piece of hardware is likely to fail or spot chances for optimisation by evaluating patterns and trends in data. The proactive strategy not only helps with strategic planning but also ensures the reliability of operations by preventing system outages that can cause serious disruptions to business operations and financial losses. Businesses may use AI to ensure their assets operate at peak efficiency, quickly adopt new technologies, and match operations to corporate goals.

AI’s advantages for fixed asset software

AI-driven fixed asset software has numerous advantages for businesses, particularly in sectors where asset management is vital to daily operations, like production, healthcare, and logistics.

Greater effectiveness: Automation significantly speeds up asset tracking, control, and upkeep. As AI can assess huge amounts of information in real time, managers can respond immediately to determine the state of their assets.

Cost savings: Ongoing asset utilisation and predictive analysis can result in lower operating costs. AI is capable of identifying underutilised or poorly functioning items, which may assist corporations in saving money by reallocating or disposal schedules.

Enhanced compliance and reporting: Staying compliant can be challenging with increasingly stringent regulatory governance. AI ensures that compliance reports are generated accurately and on time. Moreover, the software can routinely modify asset data to mirror regulatory changes, ensuring that companies consistently comply with laws.

Improved decision-making: With AI’s analytics capabilities, managers can make better choices about which assets to invest in, when to repair, and when to retire an asset. Selections are based on real-time information and predictive models instead of guesswork or manual calculations.

Case study: Predictive portfolio management precision issue:

Predicting market trends and real-time portfolio optimisation was complicated for a top asset management company. Conventional approaches could not keep up with market demands, resulting in lost opportunities and less-than-ideal results.

Solution:

The company was able to quickly evaluate large datasets by implementing an AI-powered predictive analytics system. The AI algorithms examined market patterns, assessed risk factors, and dynamically altered the portfolio. The end result was a notable improvement in portfolio performance and increased forecasting accuracy.

Findings:

A 20% boost in portfolio returns was attained.

Real-time market trend information improved decision-making.

The future of AI in asset management

The future of asset management will revolutionise customer satisfaction, operational effectiveness, and decision-making. Below are the important elements that will transform asset management operations:

1) Elevated decision making

By revealing hidden patterns from huge datasets, AI will permit asset managers to make better decisions. AI can evaluate the whole portfolio, compiling financial statistics and market news, which together will improve risk posture and portfolio formulation. AI will also make real-time adaptation feasible, preparing managers for future predictions and staying ahead of marketplace swings.

2) Automation and operational efficiency

Robo-advisors will become necessary tools, autonomously managing tasks like portfolio rebalancing and standard operations. AI’s algorithmic training will execute decisions quickly, decreasing human intervention and cutting costs. AI will automate tedious back-office operations, including data entry and regulatory compliance procedures, ensuring smooth, streamlined workflows.

3) Client experience transformation

In the future, client interactions will become customised and more responsive. AI will analyse purchaser information to provide tailored funding recommendations, and AI-powered chatbots will be available 24/7 to answer queries. The technology can even simplify reporting, turning complex economic information into easily digestible, jargon-free insights, building trust and transparency in customer relationships.

Conclusion:

The future of asset management is undeniably tied to improvements in AI technology. AI-driven fixed asset software is already impacting asset monitoring, predictive analytics, and risk management by optimisation and automation. As hyper automation and IoT continue to adapt, the possibilities for remodeling asset management are limitless.

Apple iPhone SE 4: Affordable iPhone With Powerful Upgrades

In terms of appearance and functionality, the next Apple iPhone SE 4 is expected to represent a significant improvement over earlier SE models, more in line with newer iPhone models. The smaller 4.7-inch LCD screen on the current SE model will be replaced by a 6.1-inch OLED screen, akin to the iPhone 14‘s screen, in the SE 4, which is anticipated to make its debut in late 2024 or early 2025. With its thinner bezels, Face ID, and perhaps a notch or even a Dynamic Island, this design change suggests that the SE 4 may mirror the iPhone 14’s body.

According to recent models, Apple is also heading toward a USB-C port for this gadget, which would comply with revisions in EU regulations. Rumor has claimed that it might also have an Action Button, which is an option from the iPhone 15 series that takes the place of the conventional mute switch. A single-lens back camera with a 12MP sensor and features like Deep Fusion, Smart HDR, and potentially Cinematic Mode though Night Mode might not be included is anticipated to be part of the SE 4’s camera front.

In keeping with Apple’s practice of increasing processing power across its portfolio, the Apple iPhone SE 4 might be powered inside by an upgraded Apple silicon chip, perhaps the A17 Bionic or even the A18. Given that Apple is said to be equipping this phone with a somewhat larger battery than the previous SE, which would lengthen usage on a single charge, this should result in increased performance and efficiency.

Because of the improvements to its feature set, the SE 4 is expected to cost more than its predecessors, possibly making it a competitive mid-tier choice in Apple’s portfolio. To cater to customers looking for affordability in addition of the Apple experience, the pricing will probably stay lower than flagship models given Apple’s history with the SE range.

According to these observations, the Apple iPhone SE 4 will undergo a major overhaul, increasing its attractiveness to consumers who prefer small but powerful gadgets, particularly those seeking an affordable iPhone with contemporary features.
