Chapter 582 Provoking "Unknown"
At 6:00 in the morning, the alarm clock rang on time.
Yao Lingling reached out a hand from the quilt and skillfully pressed down the reminder on the phone screen.
She said to herself: "Get up~"
She rubbed her eyes, lifted the quilt and sat up.
The late autumn air had a clear coolness, causing tiny chestnut grains to appear on her exposed skin.
She subconsciously pulled the collar of her pajamas, shuddered, and her sleepiness was completely dispelled by the coolness.
Quickly open the phone and move your fingertips skillfully across the screen.
Search, confirm, and then click on the pinned WeChat chat box.
On the screen, the cursor jumped briskly.
[Lingling: "(*丨√1*) Good morning, little brother, today is October 30, Monday. It is cloudy and sunny in Hong Kong, with a temperature of 20~26°C. The outfit suggestions are as follows..."]
After sending the message, she put down her phone and raised a satisfied smile at the corner of her mouth.
When something becomes a habit, you will gradually have sustenance. I always feel that this way you will be closer to him.
And Tang Song would also reply to her messages every day and chat with her for a while.
Put on your fitness clothes, go to the living room, and turn on the ceiling lamp.
Yao Lingling laid out the yoga mat, placed the tablet on the opposite side, and opened the "Advanced Butt and Leg Training Course" in her collection.
Single-leg Romanian deadlift, elastic band squat sprint, glute bridge weight lifting, high leg raise and burpee-
In the living room, the only sound left in the living room was her increasingly rapid breathing and the dull sound of her body contacting the ground.
Sweat quickly soaked the broken hair on her forehead and slid down her cheeks. The soreness of her muscles and the burning sensation of sweat made her grit her teeth, but she also felt a hearty pleasure.
After the workout, I took a shower.
Returning to the bedroom, he walked briskly to the desk and picked up a clothing design draft.
Looking at the jacket with clean lines and full details on the paper, a bright light burst out in her eyes.
This is her first work in Songmei Clothing, and it is finally completed.
After a long period of accumulation and experimentation, I incorporated the vivid inspiration mood board I saw on Wenruan that day.
She finally found what she had been looking for, a neat, free "soul" with a sense of urban female power.
Throughout the weekend, she almost stayed behind closed doors, immersing herself in the world of creation, and finally finished the final work. This was her first work for Songmei Clothing, and it was also her first real "signature" as a designer.
From the integration of inspiration, determining the core elements of the series, to hand-drawn sketches, selection of fabrics and accessories, to the final pattern making, every step is completed by her independently.
She is confident in her work and has unprecedented confidence.
“Ding dong—” the WeChat prompt sounded.
Yao Lingling picked up the charging phone and instantly smiled.
【Tang Song: "I have changed my clothes according to your dressing suggestions. I am indeed a professional fashion designer, great."
】
【Tang and Song Dynasty: Selfie.jpg】
Clicking on the photo, looking at the handsome and starry Tang Song Dynasty above, Yao Lingling blushed and her heart beat.
Yao Lingling’s cheeks felt hot unconsciously, and her fingertips jumped quickly on the screen.
Replied: "(3) Wow, the senior is so handsome, so elite, haha."
[Tang Song: Look at your (emoticon package)
Yao Lingling bit her lip and quickly opened the closet. First she took some thicker underwear, then some hip-lifting pants, and quickly changed into them.
I came to the mirror and took a look, feeling secretly happy.
Her hard work has paid off after all. Her current waist-to-hip ratio is perfect. As long as she wears tighter pants, she will turn heads when walking on the road.
Even in Yunxi Building, I would be picked up from time to time.
She took a deep breath, picked up her phone, adjusted the angle, and confidently took a full-body photo to share.
Waited for a while.
“Buzz buzz—”
[Tang Song: "(Like) It's ok. The figure is really good. The traces of training are clear. You can tell at a glance that the core strength is very stable.
Keep up the good work."]
Yao Lingling raised the corner of her mouth in a big arc and replied Said: "I feel like I have hit a bottleneck now. My senior is a fitness expert now. Please give me some guidance later."
[Tang Song: "No problem, wait until I return to Yancheng."]
Yao Lingling was so sweet that she was instantly filled with sweetness.
Then my heart skipped a beat, and I turned to look at the design draft on the table, and a bold idea quietly came to my mind.
She gritted her teeth and typed slowly: "By the way, senior, my first piece of work is finished, and I will enter the sample production process today. It will definitely go on sale before Double Eleven. This is my "hard-worked" work. If it sells well, shouldn't you, the boss, give me some reward? (#wink)"
[Tang Song: "So fast? Amazing, you are the only designer of our company, and this is also the first real work of Songmei Clothing. In this way, if this The first-run GMV of a piece of clothing exceeds 2 million yuan. I will double your performance and year-end bonus! ”]
The first-run GMV of a single item exceeds 2 million yuan. It is definitely a hit in Songmei Clothing.
Yao Lingling’s performance is linked to commissions, and there are also step-by-step rewards for hot hits, and the year-end bonus starts at least three months ago.
This doubling brings an extremely considerable salary increase, which is even enough for her to buy a nice car.
After struggling for a moment, Yao Lingling summoned up the courage and replied: [(#奇笑) Forget about the money, so as not to let my colleagues have any objections. Let’s do this, senior, if GMV can exceed 4 million, how about you fulfill my wish?”]
"Buzz buzz—"
[Tang Song: "It seems that Lingling is very confident, okay, no problem!"]
Yao Lingling took a deep breath, and her eyes bloomed with brilliant brilliance.
She is indeed very confident. As a professional fashion designer, she also has a deep understanding of the market and knows the excellence of her jacket.
The most important thing is that the Double Eleven Shopping Festival is coming soon, and He Yiyi’s popularity is rising day by day.
She is very confident to create a big hit.
As for that wish, Yao Lingling pursed her lips, with a shy blush on her face.
8:10 am.
Yunxi Building, Songmei Clothing.
"Good morning, Brother Zhang."
"Good morning."
Yao Lingling walked into the office briskly, carrying a tote bag.
The office area seemed a bit deserted in the early morning, with only a few figures busy at their workstations.
Immediately afterwards, a sexy figure from behind came into view.
A white tight-fitting bottoming shirt paired with high-waisted jeans will outline the graceful curves vividly and is particularly eye-catching.
A bright smile bloomed on Yao Lingling's face, "Qiuqiu, good morning!"
Hearing the shout, Cheng Qiuqiu stopped and turned around, with a hint of softness on her cold face, "Lingling, good morning."
However, before she finished speaking, Yao Lingling was already like an enthusiastic bird, swooping up with a smile and hugging her heavily.
"I haven't seen you for two days, I miss you so much! Wow, you smell so good."
Cheng Qiuqiu's body stiffened subconsciously, and her face looked a little unnatural.
She is still not used to this kind of close physical contact.
Of course, except for one person.
The two chatted briefly, and Yao Lingling took her to make a cup of coffee, and discussed recent design issues before returning to her workstation.
Cheng Qiuqiu lowered his head and took a sip of warm coffee, but a trace of undetectable longing quietly flashed through his eyes.
It has been several days since I saw Tang and Song.
The previous scene in Zhuxi Community always came to her mind uncontrollably, causing waves of strange emotions to appear in her heart.
Although I knew his relationship with my senior sister, I couldn’t help but get close to him and miss him.
She sighed softly, turned on the computer, and put her chaotic thoughts into work.
Tang and Song’s “brand development” plan on Xiaohongshu is still in full swing, and the next step is “selection of brand express packaging.”
She has completed three sets of packaging designs with different styles, and now she needs to organize them into beautiful pictures for Tang and Song to publish on Xiao Keshu’s notes.
Nowadays, this development series is extremely popular, and every note is a lively discussion among netizens.
In her spare time at work, she would also habitually open the "April" fan group, peek at the screen intensively, and occasionally reply.
The group leader "Su Yu's April" is also very active and always spares no effort to canvass votes for his options.
Cheng Qiuqiu has chatted with the other party many times and can clearly feel that she is definitely a fan of "April" and she also knows Su Yu very well.
This gave her a feeling of mutual respect, and the two have now become WeChat friends and communicate frequently.
She is one of the few netizens.
“Buzz buzz—” The phone suddenly vibrated.
【Mom】
Cheng Qiuqiu’s originally relaxed brows frowned subconsciously.
After hesitating for a moment, he picked up his phone and walked to a corner by the window.
Take a deep breath and press the answer button,
"Hey, Qiuqiu, what are you busy with?" came the voice of my mother, Li Meihua, with a strong Sichuan accent on the other end of the phone.
"Go to work." Cheng Qiuqiu's voice was as cold as ever, with no emotion.
“Oh, have you eaten yet?”
“Yes.”
Li Meihua asked a few more questions about whether she was in good health and whether she was tired from work.
Cheng Qiuqiu responded briefly one by one, with a calm tone that was almost indifferent.
"You are very busy at work, and I have been very free recently. I would like to live in Yancheng for a while so that I can take good care of you. How about that?
"Don't come!"
After a brief silence, Li Meihua's voice suddenly became a little tentative, "Let me ask you, Qiuqiu, tell me honestly, are you trying to be a friend?"
Cheng Qiuqiu's fingertips holding the phone tightened suddenly, as if something stabbed her heart.
“No way.” She said in a cold voice: “Who did you hear that from? Brother Junfeng?”
“Oh... I didn’t hear that from you! That’s it! I've been having this dream for two days, and you don't allow me to go to Yancheng, so I'm just guessing. "Li Meihua suddenly changed her tone and looked a little anxious, "I'm telling you, Qiuqiu, you are alone outside, do you know that your eyes are bright?"
Cheng Qiuqiu’s face darkened and he remained silent.
The voice on the other end of the phone became more and more urgent, hitting him like a barrage of cannons: "Those boys out there are a lot of sluts! You are simple and well-behaved, don't let others deceive you! Especially those who have greased their mouths and are full of bad ideas-""
"You don't have to worry about my business!"
"What?!" Li Meihua's voice became sharp, "What kind of attitude do you have! I'm your mother! I don't care who cares about you? I worked hard to bring you up——"
"Dudu——"
Cheng Qiuqiu hung up the phone directly, the hand holding the phone shaking slightly.
His face was pale and his chest was heaving violently.
It’s always like this! It's always been like this!
She can have psychological and physical problems. Not only the death of her mother-in-law, this so-called mother also brought her indelible psychological trauma.
Growing up, she obviously didn’t care much about herself, but she always conducted endless interrogations, scrutiny, and criticisms in the name of “for your own good.”
Since she went to college, although her mother seems to have changed a lot, the controlling desire in her bones has never really disappeared.
Above the head, [Dream Flower Seeds] emitted a rich emerald green light, shaking violently.
Yangcheng.
The crowded subway line 1 slowly stopped at the Agricultural Training Center Station. The door opened and Zhang Yan hugged her backpack tightly in front of her body. Like an inconspicuous drop of water, it merged into the surging crowd and was squeezed out of the carriage with the flow of people.
After walking around the subway station for a while, I walked out of the station and was greeted by the unique hustle and bustle of the city, mixed with exhaust fumes and the aroma of food.
After continuing to walk north for about five or six minutes, we finally arrived at Huiming Building, where the company is located.
Every morning, she spends more than 40 minutes commuting.
This is a very ordinary office building, slightly outdated against the surrounding tall buildings.
Shucheng Technology is located on the 7th floor here, with an office area of only over 300 square meters.
The most eye-catching thing inside is a partitioned bookshelf, on which are neatly stacked the books that the company has published or announced in recent years.
On one side of the bookshelf is the boss’s closed office door, and on the other side is a slightly crowded open office area divided by low partitions.
Zhang Yan walked to her workstation, took out a rag from the drawer, wiped the tabletop carefully, and poured some water on the stubborn pot of pothos in the corner.
Then he started to lower his head and get busy.
At 10 o’clock in the morning, the sound of keyboard tapping continued one after another in the office.
A short, fat figure walked quickly out of the boss’s office and stopped directly next to her work station.
"Zhang Yan," the slightly oily voice of the leader Bai Rui sounded, "How is the recommendation manuscript of "The Whale Falling into the Sea" going? The channel can wait and see."
Zhang Yan's shoulders shrank subconsciously, and she quickly switched the document window to the front, "I'm adjusting a few paragraphs at the end, it'll be ready soon."
There aren't many copy editors in the company, and everyone has a lot of complicated work on their hands.
She just came back from a business trip two days ago. She sacrificed her entire weekend rest and stayed up late and worked overtime to write this manuscript.
"Well, okay, you submit it to the backend first, and I will pre-review it."
Zhang Yan looked at Bai Rui's round face and hesitated, "Brother Bai—"
Lulu went for an interview this morning, and specifically asked her to find an opportunity to ask the leader when the business trip expenses last week would be reimbursed.
Because it is already the end of the month, if the invoice cannot be submitted in these two days, the reimbursement will have to be postponed to next month. By then, the company may go bankrupt.
"What's wrong?" Bai Rui glanced over, with a trace of impatience on his brows.
Zhang Yan’s fingers tightened under the table, and her voice became softer unconsciously: "It was the business trip between Lulu and I last week."
"Oh, that." Bai Rui interrupted immediately. He looked at her and waved his hand nonchalantly, "Don't worry about the manuscript for your business trip. Just give it to me before the 3rd of next month." After saying that, he turned around and walked out without looking back.
Zhang Yan’s lips opened, her eyes flashed with sadness, but she didn’t say anything more and continued to work with her head down.
It’s approaching noon.
As soon as Zhang Yan walked out of the bathroom, she saw Lulu walking quickly from the direction of the elevator.
"Lulu, how are you doing over there?"
"Let's go over there and talk." Lulu grabbed her arm and pulled her into the stairwell that smelled of smoke without any explanation.
Lulu leaned against the wall, eyes excited, and said with yearning in her tone: "The office environment of Nebula International Group is simply amazing! It's a completely different world from ours! The interviewer was super nice, smiling the whole time, very polite, and without any airs."
Zhang Yan listened silently, not interrupting her friend's excitement.
"But" Lulu's excitement faded slightly, and her tone became a little more frustrated, "Hey, the competition is too fierce.
There were four people in the interview group with me, all of them looked better than me, and there was one top student with a score of 985. There is probably no hope. ”
“It’s okay,” Zhang Yan comforted softly, “It’s great to have this interview opportunity.”
Lulu nodded. , then looked at her: "Zhang Yan, what about you? What are your plans?"
A small company like Shucheng Technology has extremely low risk resistance and no irreplaceable core business.
Nowadays, the entire book publishing and sales industry is becoming more and more sluggish. The company's decline is a fact visible to the naked eye. People in the office are floating, and everyone is preparing for themselves in advance.
Zhang Yan pursed her dry lips, followed Lulu's example and leaned against the wall, lowering her head, "I, I haven't thought about it yet. "Oh, it's better to make plans earlier. In fact, I think it would be good for you to find a reliable boyfriend and stay in Yangcheng to develop. After all, my aunt is here." Lulu paused, and suddenly As if remembering something, she moved closer and said, "To be honest, Zhang Yan, I've always wanted to ask you, do you have someone you like?"
"Haha, I guess there is!" Lulu revealed with a smile, "Look, your WeChat and Weibo nicknames are both called "Breathing in a Smile," which is obviously derived from Dickens's sentence - "Only in your smile can I breathe." Say, who is that "smile"?!"
Zhang Yan said in embarrassment: "Yes, I can pick it casually."
"Okay, I believe it." Lulu held her hand, "Let's go, let's go eat. I’m treating you to a treat at noon today!
“You don’t know, the Hong Kong stock market rose sharply today, and the fund I bought jumped by hundreds of yuan! I read in the comments that it was stimulated by major good news of tens of billions of dollars——””
Lulu was still talking about her fund and the stock market intermittently.
Zhang Yan’s mind was already far away.
She has been in Chongcheng for more than two years and is 26 years old this year.
So where should she go next?
Everything is fine for my mother in Chongcheng. She has formed a new family, has a new daughter, and has a stable life. It is inconvenient for her to interfere too much.
It is definitely not convenient to go back to my hometown of Dongzhang Village.
The younger brother born to her stepmother has grown up, and the room that once belonged to her no longer exists.
Although my aunt’s family moved to this city, it was originally just a place where she temporarily stayed. It was time for her to leave when she grew up.
The world is miserable, and so is China.
But it is true that there is no place that can be called her "home".
Fortunately, now that I have an extra cat named "Orange", I won't be too lonely and disturbed.
It’s a pity that she is still too “bad” and can’t find a decent job. Naturally, she can’t afford to buy a house for herself and Orange.
It would be great if I could be as powerful as Liu Qingning.
Jing Ji, the top scorer in science, received tens of thousands of yuan in college entrance examination rewards. Later, he was admitted to the best Imperial University in the country. After graduation, he was able to start his own business and make the company prosperous.
But she Wen knew that she was far inferior to Liu Qingning.
She also tried hard to take the postgraduate entrance examination in college, and even wanted to try Imperial University without overestimating her abilities.
But the result was that the more you raised your toes, the more clearly you could feel the disturbance.
That dazzling starry sky is so out of reach.
However, if she were Liu Qingning, she would definitely not choose to develop in Shenzhen.
Definitely not.
Two o’clock in the afternoon.
Xiangjiang, the 38th floor of the second phase of the International Financial Center (IFC), the headquarters of Rongliu Capital.
The phone at the front desk almost never stopped ringing, and the sofa in the reception area was filled with visitors in suits and ties with strange expressions.
All employees in the office are busy at high speed.
Walking slowly, carrying coffee and thick documents, shuttling between conference rooms, the air was filled with an atmosphere of tension and extreme excitement.
With a work badge on her chest and a decent smile on her face, Shen Yuyan was receiving guests in an orderly manner,
and blindly guided them one by one to the corresponding conference room.
Her heart was filled with an unprecedented sense of passion and disturbance.
Since this morning, there has been an endless stream of visitors from Rongliu Capital,
They even include the top management teams of Guyu Biotech and Yunxi Real Estate.
The purpose of their trip is equally exciting.
According to the news she received, these two giant companies will next conduct private offerings (Private
Placement) to separately issue a batch of new shares to Rongliu Capital.
She suddenly remembered that the real core of the "big move" that Bai Menglin mysteriously mentioned to her on the phone was their Rongliu Capital. According to the sporadic information she obtained from Tang and Song Dynasty, Rongliu Capital would also use this opportunity to make strategic investments in a series of enterprises, each of which would rapidly spread its influence throughout the capital circle.
Being at the center of this capital storm, Shen Yuyan enjoyed this moment extremely, and even felt deeply intoxicated.
"Shirley." A slightly smiling voice suddenly came from all sides.
Shen Yuyan turned her head and saw Lin Muxue walking towards her.
She held a thick document in her hand and wore a pair of exquisite gold-rimmed glasses for the first time. She looked a bit like a financial executive.
"What's the matter, Luna?"
Lin Muxue had a confident and mysterious smile on her lips, "An extremely important guest has arrived, and we need to go together to receive him." "Exit."
"Oh?" Shen Yuyan paused slightly, then nodded, "Okay, no problem."
After saying that, she straightened her appearance and followed Lin Muyi out of the reception area.
Arrive at the elevator.
Shen Yuyan asked calmly: "Luna, which distinguished guest is here?"
Lin Mu glanced at her and said with a smile, "You will know soon."
Shen Yuyan's eyes flickered and she did not ask any more questions.
Waited for about two minutes.
“Ding—”
The elevator stopped on the 38th floor, and the metal doors slowly slid open to both sides.
Immediately afterwards, a group of four people walked out one after another.
The leader is a woman in her 30s.
Her hair is tied up with clips, and she is wearing a well-tailored, high-quality, professional-style fashion. She has a stern face and meticulous makeup. Her whole body exudes a powerful ascetic atmosphere formed by extreme professionalism and self-discipline.
Distinguished guests, are you referring to them? For some reason, Shen Yuyan actually saw a bit of Lin Mubian's daily "pretending" in each other's bodies. It was indeed somewhat similar, but the aura of the one in front of him was much stronger and more condensed.
While she was thinking secretly, Lin Mubian had already stepped forward to greet her, with a spring breeze-like smile on her face: "Mr. Qin, long time no see, welcome to Rongliu Capital."
Ranbi, the woman known as "Mr. Qin" just nodded to her, her tone calm: "Hello, Assistant Lin."
The smile on Lin Muxue's face could not help but stiffen, her heart jumped suddenly, and an inexplicable uneasiness emerged.
At this moment, Qin Ying's eyes passed her and fell on Shen Yuyan beside her.
A gentle smile appeared on his face, and he reached out his hand and said: "Is this Assistant Shen? Hello, I am Qin Yingzu, the representative of the Tang Jin Family Office."
Shen Yuyan's face suddenly flushed, and he quickly held the other person's hand, and said in a somewhat excited voice: "Hello, Mr. Qin, I am Shen Yuyan, I am honored to meet you."
Representative of Tang Jin Family Office!
There is no doubt about the gold content of this identity.
She never thought that the other party would know her and take the initiative to say hello.
The corners of Lin Mukong's eyes twitched, and he was filled with doubts.
I don’t understand why Qin Yingbian seemed so cold to her today, but he seemed so enthusiastic to Shen Yuyan.
She tried her best to suppress the uneasiness in her heart and said sideways: "Mr. Qin, the conference room is over here, please."
"Yes." Qin Yingyi nodded and walked in.
Just as he was about to arrive at the door of the conference room, Qin Yingbian's footsteps suddenly stopped.
She first smiled gently at Shen Yuyan, "Assistant Shen, you and a few of my colleagues go in and prepare some information first.
I will have a few words with Assistant Lin alone."
"Okay, Mr. Qin." Shen Yuyan nodded obediently, opened the door and entered the conference room first.
In the corridor, Qin Yingyi and Lin Mubian were the only two people left in the corridor.
Qin Yingbian, who was calm and gentle just a second ago, the smile on his face instantly disappeared, and was replaced by a faint look.
"Mr. Qin," Lin Muyi's throat rolled, and the uneasiness in her heart was infinitely amplified, "Please tell me."
Qin Yingyi looked at her and said in a calm tone: "Assistant Lin, I heard that you went to attend L two days ago. VMH Group's social dinner. I saw a photo of you and several Tang Zong entertainment stars on the Internet. It was a good and beautiful photo." "I-um-yes." Lin Muyi was shocked and her eyes were filled with doubts.
Qin Yingyi took half a step forward, "You are Mr. Tang's assistant. Your identity determines your words and deeds, and to a certain extent represents Mr. Tang's will.
This seems like a high-profile tie-up with Tang Zong Entertainment and publicizing it on social media. Do you think this is appropriate?
Also, I have also read your personal Douyin and Xiaohongshu accounts, and the contents are also somewhat inappropriate.
Last but not least, Assistant Lin. Your co-branded black credit card is to serve Mr. Tang, but your previous consumption seems to be too wanton. ”
Lin Muyi’s face suddenly turned pale.
With her emotional intelligence, she naturally understood what Qin Yingxue meant.
The problem is that Qin Yingyi is okay, but the problem is that she may represent Jin Meixiao.
It could also be said that she was trying to beat herself up on behalf of Director Kim.
But why is it similar?
Credit cards and personal accounts must come second, otherwise Qin Yingbian would not have been so polite to him on WeChat before.
The real change in her attitude came from this meeting.
Could it be that it was because Tang Zong entertained Su Yu?
But she clearly remembered that Su Yu and Director Jin were still "speculating on CP" online before.
She and Tang Zong Entertainment are closer, so there should be no problem.
Could it be that I made a mistake? The turmoil between them made her feel confused and confused.
Seeing her changing expression, Qin Yingyi lowered her voice and said, "Director Jin has some objections to some of your recent actions."
This sentence was like a basin of water containing the laws of extreme cold, poured down from nine heavens above.
It made Emperor Mu Yi feel cold all over and his Taoist mind was unstable.
There is something wrong with this plot!
Jin Wuxiang and Su Tiandi are actually sisters on the surface, but there has been an undercurrent surging behind the scenes? !
By accident, I was contaminated with the source of the dark turmoil and provoked "unknown".
I’m afraid I’m going to grow red hair! ! !
