Chapter 552: We Met a Few Times
October 2023, 10, Thursday, cloudy to sunny, 19~8℃.
A cold autumn rain.
In mid-October, the temperature in Yancheng continued to drop.
Shengyuan Jiajing community, townhouse.
"Boom--boom--"
In the strength training area, the sound of dumbbells colliding echoes in the spacious and bright space, with a clear and powerful rhythm.
Tang Song was wearing [Outfit - Full of Vitality], the lines of his tight arms looked exceptionally smooth under the light, beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead, and his chest rose and fell slightly with his breathing.
After completing a set of high-intensity bench presses, place the barbell firmly back on the rack.
He wiped the sweat off his face, picked up the kettle and took a big gulp of ice water.
The cool feeling instantly dispelled some fatigue.
After taking a shower and changing into clean and comfortable solid-color casual clothes, take the elevator directly to the multi-functional studio on the third floor.
Sit down behind a height-adjustable desk.
Take out your mobile phone and open the Xiaohongshu APP.
The first thing that caught my eye was a page of unread messages.
The latest note: [HEYI STUDIO visual identification system is open to the public, shareholders are welcome to give their opinions! 】
It once again became a hit content and sparked heated discussions among netizens.
If the first two notes - "Announcement of Brand Operation" and "Chinese Name Collection" were still questioned by some people as being story-making and scripted operations.
The emergence of this complete, professional and aesthetically pleasing visual identification system has basically dispelled the doubts.
The comments section is almost entirely positive, with many industry insiders even leaving comments saying: "This VI system can be used as a model for the industry and is very creative."
Tang Song smiled and flipped through the comments for a while, nodded with satisfaction, and then clicked on the previous note.
After all, it is a contest with prizes.
As of now, the number of likes has reached 8000+ and the number of comments has exceeded 4800+.
There are basically two names with the highest number of likes.
【合衣】and 【赫衣】.
These two names have their own characteristics. The former is gentle and peaceful, implying integration and tolerance; the latter is more modern and stylish, full of design and tension.
He plans to organize a vote at an internal meeting after the solicitation is over and finally decide on the brand name.
Then, he noticed the ID [Su Yu’s April].
He didn't think it was strange before.
In fact, among his fans, there are many IDs such as [Yan Province Su Yu], [Su Yu’s Girlfriend], [Su Yu’s Husband], etc.
The name "Su Yu" has long become an adjective for beauty and temperament.
However, after regaining his memories from 2017 to 18 in Shanghai, he noticed something unusual.
He and Su Yu met for the first time in April, and that’s how the story unfolded.
Now when I see this ID again, I can’t help but have some random thoughts in my mind.
Is it possible that the person behind this account is a female celebrity?
He couldn't help but click on the homepage to take a look, but found that apart from this ID, there was nothing special about it. There was no authentication information, and no content had been published.
With a sigh, Tang Song casually clicked the "like" button and replied to several popular comments one by one.
Finish these.
There was a faint light outside the window, and the sky in the distance gradually turned from black to gray, revealing the morning light.
Tang Song leaned back in his chair and opened the system interface.
enter the warehouse.
His thoughts fell on a prop that was shining with silver light.
[Tang Song's Draft Paper]: This is a piece of exquisite draft paper used by the player "Tang Song". Write down the project, individual, or company you want to research on it to get more accurate reasoning information. Durability (3/3).
【Note 1: The sedimentation riverbed of knowledge, the hidden corner of thought】
[Note 2: When the durability reaches zero, throw it into the trash can accurately, and you may get unexpected rewards]
I have had this item for a long time.
Now that Rongliu's investment has stabilized, the task [③Capital Hunter] has begun to advance. In order to speed up the progress, it is time to put it to use.
And his first goal is to "intelligently link the future".
Last night, Wen Ruan returned from the imperial capital and officially took over some of the core businesses of Nebula International Group.
Tang Song and the elder sister chatted until the early morning and had an extremely in-depth exchange.
Select [Tang and Song Dynasty Draft Paper] and use it immediately.
Then, an illusory piece of paper appeared in his sight.
He used his mind to write “Smart Future” and the information he knew.
In an instant, the paper seemed to be activated, and lines of flowing text emerged, like some kind of mysterious code that was constantly being reorganized and analyzed.
After a while.
A complete report appeared in his mind, with every detail clear.
From company profile, team status to main business and technological advantages, market potential assessment, and investment return estimation, it can be said to be extremely detailed.
It is much clearer than the research he commissioned the professional team of Rongliu Capital to conduct.
AI+e-commerce will be the key trend in the next five years, especially in the areas of content generation, recommendation algorithms, and user behavior prediction.
The market size of this segment will exceed US$100 billion in the future, and there is currently no absolute leader or unicorn.
There is currently no absolute leader in Zhilian Future, and it has the potential to become a unicorn.
...
After reading the analysis report carefully, Tang Song felt instantly refreshed and wanted to hug his elder sister and reward her handsomely.
Most high-quality projects have already been locked up by large companies or leading capitals, and financing is also silent.
Even though Tang Song is qualified to participate in some of these projects thanks to Rongliu Capital, it still has to wait until the other party seeks financing.
He didn't have that long to wait.
The draft paper of the Tang and Song dynasties had only three opportunities to be used, and each opportunity was extremely precious.
It is not easy to screen out companies that truly have the potential to become unicorns.
Even with Yimai Technology, he was not sure whether it could be considered a project that met the requirements in the end.
Now, Wenruan’s recommendation has directly helped him solve one-third of the problem, and it is a startup company.
It seems that Guangzhou is a must-go!
...
Tang Song stood up and stretched, then looked at the time. It was already 7: and the sky was completely light.
Walked downstairs.
When I opened the door of the master bedroom, I saw my older sister squatting beside the bed.
Teasing the little snowball.
She must have just woken up, her hair was a little messy, and she casually put on a long-sleeved bottoming shirt, which covered her heavy, round E cup.
Because of the squatting posture, the peach buttocks were stretched out into a plump curve by the gray pajamas.
The morning light filtered into the room through the curtains, and the soft light fell on her, highlighting the radiance of her skin and the fullness of her figure.
She lowered her eyes with a faint smile on her lips. She seemed to be completely immersed in the interaction with Snowball and was unaware that someone had come in.
Tang Song leaned against the wall, looking at her quietly with a smile on his lips.
After a while.
Wen Ruan suddenly burst out laughing and looked up at him, "Have you seen enough?"
Her voice still had that slightly hoarse, seductive, queenly tone from waking up in the morning.
"No." Tang Song smiled, walked into the room and squatted beside her.
Her soft fingertips teased the little snowball, and she glanced at him slyly, "Since you are here, do you want to play with me for a while?"
"What are you playing?" Tang Song's eyes lit up, and his hand slid along her waistline to the edge of her pajamas, and his fingertips drew circles on the waistband: "Teacher Wenruan, are you going to help me correct my fitness posture again?"
"Of course I'm going to play with the kitten." Wenruan's body trembled, and she picked up the ragdoll cat and said in a magnetic royal sister voice: "Little Snowball, there is a big bad wolf who is plotting against mommy, bite him!"
The collar of her bottoming shirt slid down as she moved, revealing half of her shoulders.
Tang Song couldn't help but reach out and gently rubbed the ragdoll cat's head, his fingertips running through its soft fur, "Little Snowball, your mother is lying to you again."
In the quiet bedroom, the sound of "meow meow" echoed, like a response, or like a act of coquettishness.
The aroma of fat is everywhere.
"Ding-ling-ling——" The cell phone rang suddenly.
Tang Song glanced at the incoming call message.
It’s my junior high school classmate Zhang Lei.
Raising his eyebrows, Tang Song answered the phone while petting the cat, "Hello, Zhang Lei."
A familiar and slightly hoarse voice came from the receiver: "Tang Song, are you not busy now?"
Tang Song looked down at his elder sister who was humming in his arms, and raised his lips slightly: "Not busy, what's wrong?"
"Well, I've been saying that I want to go out for a drink with you, but I haven't kept my promise even though I've been in Yancheng for more than half a month. I just got a client with my boss, and I finally have a break. Are you free tonight? Let's meet!"
Tang Song thought for a moment and said, "I'm free."
"Okay, I live in the company dormitory. There's a barbecue restaurant here that's particularly authentic. How about we have some barbecue?"
"No problem, I have no problem with that."
"OK, I'll send you the location, see you tonight!"
After hanging up the phone, Tang Song winked at the elder sister and continued to pet the cat.
……
Huachang Clothing, 3rd floor, R&D and design center.
A separate office area with partitions.
The sound of footsteps approached from afar, and the assistant designer walked in with a hint of uncontrollable admiration in his tone:
"Lingling, your sample clothes have been finished."
She couldn't hide her excitement: "The real thing is really beautiful. If this dress is officially launched, it will definitely become a hit."
Hearing this, Yao Lingling stood up from her workstation abruptly, her eyes sparkling: "I'll go take a look!"
After saying that, she almost trotted into the sample area.
The sunlight shines in through the glass window, illuminating a bright and tidy model room.
Near the east side, a caramel brown turtleneck sweater paired with dark gray slightly wide suit pants was quietly hanging on the model, and there were two identical sets next to it.
Yao Lingling walked closer to take a closer look, then reached out and gently touched the high-grade wool blended fabric. The texture was warm and delicate, and the lines were smooth and natural.
The cuffs and neckline are three-dimensionally cut, crisp and stylish; the metal fasteners at the waistline are custom-made, low-key yet exquisite, the finishing touch.
This design by the senior is really amazing!
Although she had seen the sketches and drawn the version list by hand, the finished product still exceeded her expectations - not only did it completely restore the Tang and Song Dynasty sketches, but it even optimized the details.
After all, Huachang Clothing is a large factory with complete production lines and experienced masters.
It took only two or three days from the time she submitted the design to the time the sample was completed. The efficiency was extremely high and the workmanship was impeccable.
She was already looking forward to seeing Tang Song put on his clothes.
Looked at the time.
After checking the time on her phone, she picked up the camera, pointed it at the model, selected the angle, took a few photos carefully, then opened WeChat and sent them to Tang Song.
The message read: "Senior, the clothes have been made, and the real thing is really great, you can come and have a look! By the way, when can you come to Huashang? I have already coordinated the production line, and I can arrange the photo shoot at any time!"
Yesterday, Tang Song told her at the company that he would come here to shoot a video today. On the one hand, it is to enhance the authenticity and trust of the brand, and on the other hand, it is to create a "cultivation system" atmosphere and strengthen user participation.
Naturally, she was very happy about Tang Song's update of Xiaohongshu.
As the senior's cyber girlfriend, she is invincible in the comment section of "April".
Thinking of this, Yao Lingling chuckled.
Open the Xiaohongshu App and turn to Tang Song’s latest notes.
Down one step.
Her ID appeared at the top.
【妖妖玲】: "Thank you for supporting my Cyberboyfriend. Are there any sisters who want to participate in the co-creation of brand clothing? We can form a 'Cybershareholder group', and we can discuss the color, style, and design details of the subsequent clothes together~. Sisters who want to join the group can send me a private message, and I'm waiting for you to come and flirt! Secretly, I can directly convey everyone's suggestions to April (#wink)."
What made Yao Lingling extremely happy was that this comment was manually pinned by Tang Song.
In other words, I have obtained official certification.
The only designated "Cyber Girlfriend"!
Humph, with this title, those other fanatical fans will be inferior to me!
In fact, ever since Tang Song’s counterattack and transformation into a handsome male god, many “face lovers” have appeared in his Xiaohongshu comment section.
These people leave messages and interact every day, frantically trying to make their presence felt. Some even set up groups specifically to get others to "raise April" together in an attempt to snatch the title of "No. 1 fan."
The one who looked most familiar to her was the girl with the ID [Su Yu’s April].
However, as the most important participant in the early stage, the cyber girlfriend with the most interactions, and the junior schoolmate who knows everything about him.
How could her position be shaken by the other party?
I opened the message interface and there were already a bunch of private chats.
As the core designer of Songmei Clothing, Yao Lingling is indeed serious about her promise and would like to listen to these people's opinions and help her senior retain fans.
Immediately, Yao Lingling began to send the QQ group numbers one by one.
One of them responded particularly quickly, and the other party replied almost as soon as the message was sent.
[Pika QQ: "Thank you, I have applied and hope it will be approved as soon as possible."]
Yao Lingling was about to reply to her.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps behind me, coming closer and closer.
Then came the familiar voice that made her heart beat faster: "Lingling."
She subconsciously turned around, her eyes fell on the newcomer, the corners of her mouth instantly raised, her eyes shining: "Boss Tang, you're here!"
Tang Song nodded slightly and said a few words to several Huashang Clothing executives beside him.
A few people nodded and left, and the sample area gradually became quiet.
Tang Song came to the model and his eyes lingered on Yao Lingling, or to be exact, on her buttocks.
With targeted fitness, the talent of this junior girl gradually emerged.
The plump buttocks brought by the standard pear-shaped figure are still very eye-catching even when hidden under loose trousers.
Overall, it looks even bigger than the older sister's peach butt, which is very visually impactful.
Noticing Tang Song's gaze, Yao Lingling blushed slightly and patted him boldly, "This is so rude!"
Her palm touched his arm, and the clear and strong muscles made her feel itchy.
Tang Song chuckled, "What's wrong with my cyber girlfriend? Can't I even take a look?"
Yao Lingling gasped, her heart pounding, "Okay, since you're my cyber boyfriend and boss, I'll just do it reluctantly and not bother with you."
The two of them were joking with each other, their tone relaxed but with a hint of ambiguity.
Tang Song took a set of [Autumn Encounter] and walked into the locker room.
After a while, he walked out slowly.
Yao Lingling was standing nearby, and the moment her eyes met his subconsciously, her whole body seemed to be frozen.
A layer of mist suddenly appeared in his eyes, and his teeth gently bit his lower lip.
Tang Song stood there quietly, as if he was the protagonist from some literary film.
The caramel brown turtleneck sweater is gentle and high-end, with a slightly loose H-shaped cut, naturally drooping shoulders, and slightly gathered cuffs, which is lazy yet elegant; the black trousers are slim and neat, matched with a pair of brown leather shoes, perfectly outlining the slender figure.
His skin tone appears healthy and transparent against the backdrop of colors, his collarbone lines are faintly visible, and his neck is wrapped just right by the high collar, which shows warmth but also cannot hide his intellectual temperament.
A typical urban literary male god.
"How is it?" Tang Song tilted his head slightly and asked her with a smile.
Yao Lingling blushed and said, "Very handsome."
"You did a great job, the size is perfect, and it's very comfortable to wear." Tang Song walked forward and couldn't help but gently patted the little girl's big butt, "Let's go, Lingling, accompany me to shoot the video."
Yao Lingling's body trembled violently, her cheeks instantly flushed, and she nodded stutteringly, "Oh, oh, okay."
He followed Tang Song quickly, his mind full of random thoughts.
Afterwards, the two, accompanied by the production manager, walked into the "new smart workshop" that had been put into use.
The light is soft and even, and the shadowless LED industrial lighting system is used to create a quiet and technological sense of space.
±0.1mm precision fully automatic cutting machine, laser cutting machine, intelligent hanging system, Swiss Saurer embroidery machine...
The picture has a modern industrial aesthetic.
Tang Song picked up the sports camera and started filming and recording.
……
Half past six in the evening.
The sky has completely darkened, and the city's neon lights are flickering in the night.
A black Rolls-Royce was parked outside a pedestrian street, attracting the attention of passers-by.
Tang Song got out of the car and walked slowly along the street.
After walking two or three hundred meters, he stopped, raised his head slightly, and his eyes were a little dazed.
【Tianji BBQ Restaurant】
When I saw Zhang Lei sending location information before, I felt that he looked familiar.
It turns out to be here.
When he was working at Jinxiu Trading, the last team building was held here.
It was also on that night that the game came true and the dream came true.
This is a mid- to high-end barbecue restaurant, occupying the third floor of a street-facing shop.
The decoration is exquisite, there are many private rooms and the environment is comfortable.
Open the door and walk into the restaurant.
The air was filled with the aroma of barbecue, mixed with a hint of wine.
Tang Song took a few steps forward and soon saw his old classmate Zhang Lei sitting by the window.
The other person was looking down at the menu with a focused expression.
Different from his previous appearance in Quancheng, he was wearing a neat suit and his hair was neatly combed, exuding a sense of maturity and competence.
"Zhang Lei!" Tang Song greeted with a smile and walked quickly forward.
"Tang Song, long time no see."
Zhang Lei immediately stood up and gave him a warm hug.
"Not bad, you're dressed very decently."
Zhang Lei smiled sheepishly, "Well, as a salesperson, especially when dealing with big clients, you have to look good. But you're getting more and more handsome. You're worthy of being in the clothing business. The clothes you're wearing today are very artistic."
He keenly noticed that with Tang Song's arrival, many young girls and wives in the store were peeking over here.
After the two sat down, they ordered food and chatted in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
Zhang Lei deliberately ordered more dishes and added quietly: "There is a reason why we chose this restaurant. Our company has signed a cooperation agreement with them. As a salesperson, I have a spending limit every month. I'm treating you today, so I don't have to spend my own money anyway."
"Haha, okay, thanks to you, your company's treatment is pretty good."
"Yes!" Zhang Lei opened a bottle of Laoshan and filled it for the two of them. "Come on, one goes first."
"cheers."
Because it was a weekday, there were not many customers in the store and the barbecue they ordered was served quickly.
The cold wine slid into the throat, mixed with the spicy and delicious meat skewers, and the atmosphere between the two gradually became warmer.
From the conversation, Tang Song also learned about Zhang Lei's current situation.
After joining Zhongcheng Group, he worked as a channel business specialist in the food and beverage sector, responsible for connecting with major customers such as chain supermarkets, convenience stores, and catering companies.
Compared with my previous job, the pressure is much less, but the salary has increased significantly.
He is very satisfied with his current situation.
He counted on his fingers and told Tang Song: If he is lucky, he will be able to pay off the family debt next year, and then he can consider saving money to buy a house and settle down in Yancheng.
He also has his eyes on a female colleague in the company and is thinking about how to pursue her.
As the cups clinked, Tang Song saw a long-lost light in his eyes - the expectation for the future and the satisfaction with the present life.
Tang Song was sincerely happy for this old classmate.
I couldn't help but think of another junior high school classmate, Zhang Yan.
At this moment.
Zhang Lei opposite him suddenly sat up straight, put down his wine glass, and looked a little nervous.
"What's wrong?" Tang Song asked casually, noticing his abnormality.
Zhang Lei pursed his lips and lowered his voice, "I saw our company leader...He was walking towards us, I had to say hello."
Tang Song turned around and looked in the direction he was looking, and sure enough, he saw three figures walking in from the restaurant entrance.
A young man in his twenties walked in front, followed by two older middle-aged men.
Tang Song's eyes fell on the young man and his eyebrows raised slightly.
He has fair skin, handsome features, and a fresh and clean temperament, much like the flower boys in Korean dramas.
Gao Junfeng?
The name instantly appeared in Tang Song's mind.
The reason why I had a deep impression of him was also because of Qiuqiu.
He soon remembered that Gao Junfeng attended the bank's private party as Su Ping's assistant.
And Su Ping is the vice president of Zhongcheng Group.
As they watched, three people walked in.
Zhang Lei quickly stood up and greeted them with a smile, "Assistant Gao, President Wang, Brother Liu, good evening."
"Oh? Zhang Lei." Department Manager Liu Huiyang nodded with a smile and introduced casually: "This is our new colleague, Zhang Lei."
The other two just said "hmm" softly and didn't pay much attention to the young clerk.
Then, Gao Junfeng's eyes suddenly fell on Zhang Lei's back, his eyes moved slightly, "Tang Song?"
Tang Song held the wine glass in his hand and nodded at him calmly.
Several people looked at him in surprise.
Zhang Lei asked in surprise: "Assistant Gao, do you know Tang Song?"
It has been more than half a month since he started working, and he has basically gotten to know the main leaders of the company.
Vice President Su Ping is in charge of the food and beverage business, and her assistant Gao Junfeng's actual position is naturally far beyond his position. In particular, he has a certain influence on the personnel and resource allocation of the food and beverage sector.
Even Liu Huiyang, the manager of their department, was courteous to Gao Junfeng.
This can be seen from the positions of the three people at the moment.
If he could establish contact with Gao Junfeng, it would undoubtedly be of great benefit to his career development in Zhongcheng Group.
Gao Junfeng smiled faintly, "I do know him. We have met a few times."
After saying that, he looked at Tang Song deeply, and without stopping, continued walking upstairs.
