Chapter 496: Old Classmates in Magic City
Chapter 496: Old Classmates in Magic City
The early morning light seeps into the bedroom through the white gauze curtains.
Tang Song's eyelids trembled slightly, and his consciousness gradually awakened from his sleep.
I felt a warm and smooth skin under my palm, and my nose was filled with bursts of cool fragrance.
I opened my eyes, and my blurry vision gradually came into focus, revealing a scene that was hard to look away from.
Zhao Yaqian curled up in his arms, sleeping soundly.
Her fair cheeks were faintly flushed, her thick eyelashes trembled slightly with her breathing, and her lips were slightly swollen.
On the other side, Lin Muxue was half lying on his chest, her brown hair cascading down like a waterfall, her long legs casually draped over his knees, her body curves outlining an alluring arc under the warm light.
The morning light traced their smooth skin, vaguely revealing kiss marks, scratches and slap marks left from last night's intense sex.
The whole room was filled with a lazy and intoxicating atmosphere, as if time had stopped.
Tang Song tried to pull his hand away, which immediately resulted in a whimper of dissatisfaction.
He comforted her gently twice, sat up from the bed and checked the time.
6: 50.
Tang Song rubbed his forehead and exhaled softly.
After a short but intense basketball game last night, we played games together in the audio-visual room for a while, and then started the second game directly.
That scene was really unbearable to think about.
Finally, he had no choice but to use a precious [Physical Strength Recovery Potion], which enabled him to win the battle and save his face.
Today's beautician and fake socialite, under his guidance, have become two very active, skilled and excellent players.
After the two formed a CP, they no longer attacked each other. Their combined combat power has surpassed that of the fitness expert Wenruan, causing great trouble to Tang Song.
It seems that I still need to strengthen my kidneys!
Tang Song turned over and was about to get out of bed.
The beautician snorted softly, opened her misty eyes, and smiled foolishly, her voice soft and sleepy, "Good morning, Brother Song... What time is it..."
"It's less than 7 o'clock." Tang Song lowered his head and kissed her on the face, breathing in her fresh body fragrance, and instantly felt a little intoxicated.
The sound of careful thinking could be heard from the bed, accompanied by the beautician's unconscious low hum.
Simple morning exercise is over.
Tang Song turned over, got out of bed and walked into the bathroom.
Due to the large amount of exercise last night and the heavy physical consumption, he no longer had the mood to do morning exercises.
When I opened my phone, an unread message came into view.
[Lingling: "Today is September 9th, cloudy, 26~17℃, cool and refreshing weather, the following are my dressing suggestions..."]
[Lingling: "Senior, I forgot to tell you that I will go to the company to handle the resignation procedures this morning. Minmin finished her resignation last Friday. When you are free, let's have dinner together."]
Seeing this message, Tang Song raised his brows slightly and almost forgot about his junior high school sister.
Today is the day when Huachang Clothing’s shareholders’ meeting is held.
It also means that he will officially take over Huachang Clothing and open up Songmei's clothing OEM supply chain.
The clothing design of He Yiyi brand should also be put on the agenda.
In the early stage, the design team of Huachang Clothing was naturally the core. As a designer on her side, Yao Lingling was responsible for controlling the design direction and meeting the needs.
In addition, there is Li Shumin.
I promised to help her solve her work problems. She happens to have a meeting at Huashang Clothing today, so let her report in first.
With her and Zhang Jiahong around, she can also help him act as an internal spy and see whether the employees of Huachang Clothing are serious about their work for Songmei Clothing.
For him, everything is based on the [Growth Plan Task]!
After thinking for a while, Tang Song smiled and replied on WeChat: "Lingling, how are you doing with your fitness recently? Have you been slacking off? I haven't seen you post photos for a long time."
……
Xingchen Garden Community.
"Ding Dong——" the WeChat notification sound rang, and the mobile phone screen on the coffee table lit up.
"Is this the news from Senior Tang Song? Let me take a look!" Li Shumin, who was secretly observing the movements here, trotted over.
Yao Lingling quickly picked up her phone and raised it upwards, "Don't peek at our chat."
Li Shumin hugged her waist and said coquettishly: "Oh, let me see, I'm so anxious!"
After leaving Shangya, Li Shumin was happy to receive a generous compensation, but when she saw others busy with work, she couldn't help but start to feel anxious.
Even though Lingling had said before that Lin Muxue would help solve the work problem, the matter had not been finalized after all, so Lingling could only mention it to Senior Tang Song in a tactful way.
I hope that senior can remember this, after all, Lin Muxue is Tang Song’s assistant.
Yao Lingling had no choice but to put down her phone and unlock the screen.
Soon, a slightly ambiguous WeChat message popped up.
Yao Lingling's face turned slightly red, her eyes sparkled, and she looked shy and happy.
Li Shumin smacked her lips and said anxiously, "Senior, have you forgotten about me? Lingling, do you think I should give you a gift or something?"
"Go away, who do you think I am?" Yao Lingling slapped her in anger and urged, "Take a picture for me. I'll tell Sister Xiaoxue after I finish the resignation procedures."
"Oh! Okay!" Li Shumin's cloudy sky suddenly turned sunny. She took the phone and skipped back.
He opened the camera, adjusted the focus and exposure, turned on the beauty function, and began to direct Yao Lingling to pose.
"Come on! Lingling, hold your head high!"
"Ahem, I said it wrong, stop sticking your chest out, lift your big ass up!"
"Minmin, can you please speak properly? You are the one with the big ass!"
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, so lift your big butt up, haha!"
"Click - click -"
They laughed and played for a while.
Yao Lingling took the phone, picked out the photo she liked best and shared it with Tang Song.
"Buzzing—"
【Tang and Song: Crazy likes.GIF】
Looking at the cute emoticons sent by Tang Song, Yao Lingling raised the corners of her mouth and twisted her body happily.
Li Shumin took the opportunity to say, "Lingling, Senior Tang Song looks so happy now, why don't you take this opportunity to ask us about our jobs? See if we can get into Huashang Clothing like Jiahong did."
Zhang Jiahong, who had just walked out of the kitchen, hesitated for a moment and interrupted, "Minmin, this is easy to say. Assistant designer or design assistant is not a core position, and they can be assigned to it. But I'm worried that it will be difficult for Lingling. The fashion designers in our department are currently saturated. Everyone is responsible for a product line, and some may have to be laid off..."
Having worked at Huachang Clothing for some time, Zhang Jiahong has gradually integrated into her circle of colleagues and also learned about the company's current situation.
The performance in 2023 fell significantly year-on-year, and almost all of the own-brand product lines were losing money. Last week, a colleague mentioned that several designers might be optimized.
After hearing her words, Yao Lingling and Li Shumin became nervous.
After a moment of silence, Yao Lingling shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I have some achievements, so it won't be difficult for me to find a job."
There were many things she didn't tell her two roommates, such as Lin Muxue's special status.
Judging from his performance at the fashion show, he will definitely be able to help solve the problem.
However, she didn't want to embarrass Tang Song, and hoped to prove herself through hard work so that the senior would have a better impression of her.
"But... big companies all require experience, and small companies are unreliable." Jiahong was about to continue her analysis when the WeChat video call rang.
Li Shumin exclaimed, "It's Senior Tang Song! It's a video call!"
"I'll take it!"
Li Shumin and Zhang Jiahong came over tacitly. Yao Lingling pushed her two roommates, but seeing that it was no use, she could only glare at them angrily.
Connect to the video call.
A face that was a little too handsome appeared on the screen.
The three girls all felt embarrassed.
It's early in the morning and the weather is dry in autumn. Seeing this handsome guy makes me want to have a nosebleed.
"Hello, senior, good morning." Yao Lingling adjusted the camera to make herself look better.
"Good morning, Lingling." Tang Song's pleasant voice came from the receiver: "Have you eaten?"
"No, but Jiahong has already cooked the meal, so we'll be able to eat soon."
The two chatted briefly about family matters, and Tang Song said, "I called you because I wanted to talk to you about your and Minmin's work issues."
Hearing this, Li Shumin's eyes suddenly lit up and she leaned over half of her head, "Senior, I'm here! I'm ready for your arrangements at any time!"
Tang Song chuckled, "It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival + National Day holiday, I want to arrange your affairs before the holiday, so that you don't have any random thoughts." Yao Lingling said quickly, "I'm sorry to trouble you, senior. Thank you."
"You're welcome." Tang Song paused and asked, "Minmin, do you want to go to Huashang Clothing? That's the department and position where Jiahong works now."
"I want to!" Li Shumin nodded vigorously, but then she felt that she was too unreserved and whispered, "I'll listen to you, senior. I'll go wherever you say."
"That's good. You can report directly to the HR department at around 9 this morning and let Jiahong take you."
Li Shumin's eyes widened in disbelief, "Ah? No need for an interview?"
"No need. I took a detour last time because I was afraid Jiahong would refuse. If you don't mind, just bring your ID and go to work. I'll give you a heads up."
"Thank you, my dear senior! Thank you, my dear senior! You are so awesome!" Li Shumin stood in front of the camera and kept bending down to express her gratitude.
A few of them laughed for a while.
Tang Song turned his gaze to Yao Lingling again, "Lingling, although I know you really want to work with them, but now..."
Before he finished speaking, Yao Lingling waved her hand and said, "Senior, don't worry about me. I can find a suitable job by myself. I have recently talked to several clothing companies on Boss Direct. I have no problem! I will get an offer soon!"
"Oh?" Tang Song raised his eyebrows, "So, you want to reject me?"
"Ah? Reject you?" Yao Lingling was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained: "No, no! I don't have any other intentions, I just don't want to cause you trouble."
Tang Song smiled and said, "I have also prepared an offer for you. Are you interested?"
Yao Lingling asked blankly, "Senior, what do you mean?"
Tang Song coughed lightly, sat up straight, and said with a serious expression: "Hello, classmate Yao Lingling, I am Tang Song, the CEO of Songmei Clothing. Our company is mainly engaged in live e-commerce business. The business has entered a stable period. In order to... we plan to create our own women's clothing brand..."
As he introduced in a brisk tone, the three girls' eyes widened.
When they first met Tang Song on Xiaohongshu, he revealed that he was a programmer. Later, he mentioned that he wanted to do live streaming business. They thought it was technology-related, but they didn't expect it was actually selling clothes.
And it seems that he is doing quite well and is even at the point of creating his own brand.
After talking for a while, Tang Song looked at her and asked, "We would like to invite you to become the first core designer of our new brand, mainly responsible for the business connection with our OEM factory Huashang Clothing. What do you think, Lingling? Consider it?"
"Yes!" Yao Lingling shouted, her face flushed with excitement, "I am willing to go. When can I start work?"
Looking at the face she had been thinking about day and night on the screen, Yao Lingling's heart almost jumped out.
Working in the same company as Tang Song, I am doing my favorite thing, fashion design, and can also help him develop his career.
This is a position tailor-made for her!
It's so fucking awesome! I wouldn't even dream of doing this!
"Lingling, be more reserved." Zhang Jiahong pushed her and said with a smile, "If someone didn't know, they would think you agreed to the senior's proposal."
Tang Song couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Yao Lingling played around with her two best friends with a red face, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
It took a while.
Tang Song cleared his throat and continued, "Lingling, didn't you resign this morning? Come to Huashang Clothing after you're done. I happen to be there, so I'll take you to meet the designers here in advance and treat you three to a meal at noon."
Yao Lingling nodded immediately: "Oh, okay, senior, see you this afternoon!"
"Okay, I'm going to eat too. Bye."
"Goodbye." "Goodbye, senior."
After hanging up the video, a burst of laughter and playfulness instantly rang out in the living room.
Yao Lingling's originally uneasy heart completely calmed down, and she began to fantasize about the wonderful working environment after working in the same company with Tang Song.
She had completed all the procedures for her resignation and handover yesterday. Today she only needs to sign and return the office supplies, access control, etc. to the company.
After breakfast, I agreed on a time and place to meet with the two of them.
Yao Lingling couldn't wait to pack her things and rode her scooter straight to Shangya Clothing.
……
9 o'clock in the morning.
The sounds of leather shoes and high heels echoed in the empty corridor.
Tang Song and Lin Muxue walked out of the large flat in Yan Jingtian City, took the elevator directly to B1, and got into the Rolls-Royce Phantom they had been waiting for a long time.
After all, it was a formal occasion and I had just finished a night of nourishment.
Lin Muxue fully played the role of a glamorous female assistant, and her overall spirit and appearance were extremely good.
She looked in great spirits, wearing a well-tailored professional suit and a pair of high heels. Her expression was full of confidence, and she looked capable and elegant.
Of course, there is another important reason. He has to go to the shareholders' meeting today to show off and slap He Jingping and his son in the face.
This was a perfect match for Lin Muxue's professional career. She had never been so cool and embarrassed in such an occasion before, so she was extremely excited.
The car slowly drove out of the underground parking lot and merged into the busy traffic.
Tang Song leaned back in the back seat, his eyes fixed on the scenery passing by rapidly outside the window. His fingers tapped his knees unconsciously, his eyes flashing with a thoughtful look.
Next, he will go to Rongliu Investment to meet up with his investment team and lawyers.
Then they set off together to Huachang Clothing to attend the shareholders' meeting.
Update the shareholder register, propose ad hoc issues, reorganize the board of directors, and finalize cooperation on new production lines.
For him, this is not only a test of his own abilities, but also a key step in future planning.
The "battle" with He Jingping will also usher in a phased victory.
Thinking of this, his eyes became sharp and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"Ding Dong--" the WeChat notification sound rang, breaking the quiet atmosphere in the car.
Tang Song took out his mobile phone from his pocket, turned on the screen, and a friend request popped up.
Her nickname is [Yuki], and her profile picture is a real-life ID photo, and she looks very familiar.
The application message was simple and clear: "Hello Tang Song, I am Sun Jiayue."
"Sun Jiayue?" Tang Song murmured to himself, with a look of reminiscence on his face.
Sun Jiayue was his high school classmate and also Liu Qingning's roommate.
In the memories of 2016, her figure has appeared many times.
At that time, because of Liu Qingning, their interactions were quite frequent.
However, as Sun Jiayue was admitted to the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, and he also entered the "dream state", he separated from Bai Yueguang.
The two have not been in contact for many years and are not even friends on WeChat.
I heard that she later joined a financial company in Shanghai with her outstanding performance and is currently working in the fundraising department.
But beyond that, he knew almost nothing about her life in recent years.
Even Liu Qingning hadn't contacted her for a long time, and their relationship was no longer as close as before.
Through friend request.
[Sun Jiayue: "Hello, Tang Song, we haven't contacted each other for a long time. I chatted with Qing Ning today, and she sent me your WeChat account, saying that you will come to Shanghai during the National Day holiday? You can tell me when the time comes, and we can meet and have a meal together."]
Tang Song: "Okay, no problem."
Then, the two of them briefly chatted about their recent situation.
[Sun Jiayue: "That's it for now. I just arrived at the company and I have to get busy. Bye."]
Putting down the phone, Tang Song's eyes flashed, as if he understood Bai Yueguang's little thoughts.
The last time Liu Qingning came to Yancheng to see her, she once said that she felt Sun Jiayue had become a little "overly realistic" since she came into contact with the financial circle.
After knowing that she had cashed out nearly 400 million yuan from Century Intelligence, his attitude suddenly became extremely enthusiastic, and he also tactfully raised his opinions on her and Tang Song's affairs.
Bai Yueguang specifically asked Sun Jiayue to add him on WeChat and told her his itinerary. Maybe he wanted to take the opportunity to teach her a lesson?
Tang Song shook his head gently, chuckled softly, and put the phone back into his pocket.
For him, this trip to the Magic City was a very arduous task.
Dating Annie, visiting Su Yu, investing in Yimai Technology...
Everything needs to be carefully planned.
As for my old classmate Sun Jiayue, let’s just think of it as reliving the old times.
Speaking of which, he really needs an assistant who understands business and investment. Xiaoxue is good at showing off when taken out, but she is not suitable for many occasions.
For some reason, Shen Yuyan's figure appeared in Tang Song's mind.
This school beauty Shen has outstanding skills and abilities. She has experience in starting a business from scratch and raising funds, and she has a good relationship with me.
What's more important is that she is beautiful.
