Lin Mu Xue and Wen Qiuyue

"Qiu Qiu! Qiu Qiu!" Yao Lingling was on the small footboard, pulled up her helmet visor and waved vigorously at her.

Cheng Qiuqiu's lips moved, but for a moment she didn't know what to say, so she just nodded silently.

"We saw you on the road just now, so we followed you here."

Gao Junfeng looked at the two people riding the motorcycle and asked with a light laugh, "Qiu Qiu, are these your friends?"

"Mmm." Cheng Qiuqiu nodded, her lips pressed tightly together.

Yao Lingling looked at the boy sitting in the driver's seat and said cheerfully, "Hello handsome guy, your car is so cool! Bentley Continental GT, my dream car."

"Haha, hello, I'm Qiu Qiu's friend, Gao Junfeng." Gao Junfeng raised his eyebrows, leaned slightly forward, and waved to the two of them in a pretentious manner, looking very stylish.

"I'm Yao Lingling." Yao Lingling looked up at the traffic light and smiled, "The light will turn green soon, why don't we stop on the side road? We brought Qiu Qiu a gift, it's in her schoolbag."

"OK, no problem, I'll pull over after the intersection."

Cheng Qiuqiu clenched her fists tightly and bit her lip hard.

This morning I told them in the group chat that I wasn't feeling well and needed to stay home to rest, so I couldn't go cycling with them.

As a result, he was caught red-handed at noon, and his lie was exposed.

Not being good with words, she was filled with panic and shame.

I don't know how to face the two of them.

As the red light turned green, the Bentley Continental accelerated and stopped on the auxiliary road with its hazard lights flashing.

Soon, two motorcycles arrived.

Yao Lingling jumped out of the car, unzipped her backpack, took out a small box and handed it over. "These are bookmarks made from West Mountain Ginkgo Leaves. They're really pretty. Tang Song said your name goes especially well with Ginkgo Leaves in autumn, so we chose this gift."

"Thank you." Cheng Qiuqiu accepted the gift, her throat bobbing, but she didn't say anything more.

Upon hearing the name "Tang Song," Gao Junfeng paused, looking at the boy standing there in astonishment.

Immediately afterwards, the visor of the black helmet was pulled up, revealing a handsome face.

Not-so-pleasant memories gradually surfaced in his mind, causing Gao Junfeng's eyes to twitch.

Tang Song really stole the show at the bank's private event.

Most importantly, he actually managed to get involved with the only daughter of Standing Director Tian Chengye, which was infuriatingly jealous.

I never expected to run into her here; she's Qiu Qiu's friend.

"Assistant Gao, it's been a long time." Tang Song glanced at him calmly.

Gao Junfeng took a deep breath, leaned back in the Bentley, raised his head slightly, and said with high spirits, "It really has been a long time."

Yao Lingling blinked in surprise. "Oh! You two know each other?"

Gao Junfeng nodded slightly. "Hehe, we met before at a Bank's Private Meeting."

Today, when they met again, he was driving Bentley while Tang Song was riding a small motorcycle. He finally felt a sense of pride and satisfaction.

Cheng Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Tang Song in surprise.

Their eyes met, Tang Song asked naturally, "Qiu Qiu, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"

"Yes, it's all over now," Cheng Qiuqiu said softly, immediately looking away.

"It's good that you're alright. We were worried about you because you hadn't replied to messages in the group chat." Yao Lingling looked at Gao Junfeng and said with a teasing expression, "So you had plans with other people. You should have told us earlier, we wouldn't have blamed you."

Cheng Qiuqiu quickly shook her head and said, "No, Brother Jun Feng needed to talk to me about something, that's why I came out."

"Okay, I was just kidding." Yao Lingling smiled and winked. "It's okay."

Cheng Qiuqiu took a deep breath and looked at Tang Song again. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.

He just clenched his fingers tightly with both hands.

Noticing this, Gao Junfeng frowned slightly and said, "Qiu Qiu and I have some things to take care of. Otherwise, we could have had a meal together. We'll take our leave now and meet up again another time."

"Okay, sure." Yao Lingling nodded, smiled, and gave an OK sign. "Bye-bye~, be careful on the road."

"Bye-Bye."

Cheng Qiuqiu took a deep breath, "Goodbye Ling Ling, goodbye Tang Song."

"Bye-Bye."

With the roar of the engine, the Bentley Continental slowly started moving and merged into the main road of Huai'an Road.

Looking at Yao Lingling's still peering gaze.

Tang Song chuckled and patted her bottom. "What's wrong? Can't take your eyes off a handsome guy?"

"Ouch! Why did you hit me again!" Yao Lingling took a half step back, lightly pinching Tang Song's arm, then explained, "I was looking at the car, not some handsome guy. Besides... he's not as handsome as you, senior. If I were looking at anyone, it would be you!"

As she spoke, Yao Lingling stared intently at Tang Song's face beneath his helmet, revealing a lecherous expression.

Tang Song chuckled a few times, then gently put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Ling Ling, we're such good friends, if you really have any ideas, we can find a quiet place and let you have your fun."

Yao Lingling's face immediately turned bright red, and she pretended to joke, "Hey, hey, you said it, so you can't go back on your word!"

"Don't worry, I mean what I say." Tang Song said with a smile, "I'm not like some people who just talk the talk about being generous."

"How can these be the same? You're so mean, senior!"

The two laughed and joked for a while.

Yao Lingling moved closer to him and said in a seductive tone, "But, if you could drive me around in your Bentley Continental, I'd like to find a quiet place so you can feel the texture of fake breasts, hehe."

Having spent so much time with Tang Song today, she's become much more relaxed and speaks with far fewer reservations.

I didn't expect Tang Song to agree to this request; it was just a joke.

Hearing her words, Tang Song coughed lightly and said seriously, "How did you know I have Bentley Continental?"

"Pfft—hahaha—" Yao Lingling laughed so hard she bent over.

After a while, she recovered and said with a big smile, "Senior, you're so witty!"

Tang Song tapped her helmet. "Hey, you're not messing with me again this time, are you?"

"How could that be!" Yao Lingling quickly shook her head, winked playfully, and said with a grin, "I have to go to the company this afternoon and won't be finished until around 8 pm. How about you pick me up in your Bentley Continental? To be honest, if you drive Bentley, you're definitely many, many times more handsome Gao Junfeng!"

"You have a good eye!" Tang Song nodded approvingly. "Alright then, I'll pick you up tonight after you're done with your work."

He had a good Good impression of his cheerful and outgoing Cyber Girlfriend, a junior from elementary school, and enjoyed the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere he had with her.

Of course, he was also very curious to see what kind of expression the junior schoolmate would have when she saw that he was actually driving a Continental.

It's so interesting to think about.

For Tang Song people today, in addition to improving their charm rating, they are more focused on pursuing meaningful and interesting things.

Yao Lingling said with a grin, "You said you'd come to pick me up, senior, and I took it seriously."

Tang Song nodded and said, "Yes, I took it seriously too."

Yao Lingling blushed slightly. "Then... I'll text you when the time comes. I'm not sure when I'll be done with this."

The Yan Province International Clothing Fair will open in 3 days, and the company is actually very busy.

She stayed up all night to finish all her design work so she could have half a day to ride with Tang Song.

However, I have to rush back before 2 p. m. to meet with the team, prepare the display stands and mannequins, and check the exhibited samples.

Actually, she didn't care whether it was Bentley Bentley or not, and she thought Tang Song was joking with her.

What really bothered her was that Tang Song came to pick her up from work.

Such romantic scenarios only occasionally occur in dreams.

Just thinking about it gets my heart racing; it's definitely not to be missed.

At noon, the two went to a small restaurant that Yao Lingling frequented.

We ordered several spicy and delicious stir-fried dishes, and chatted happily while eating heartily.

Yao Lingling Innate Fitness Sacred Body, has an excellent appetite and ate two bowls of rice by herself.

Before parting.

With eyes full of anticipation, Yao Lingling said, "This Yan Province International Clothing Fair is very important for our local enterprises. If my work can win an award at this exhibition, maybe one day I can really become a well-known designer."

She glanced at Tang Song, thinking to herself: Maybe then, I'll be able to openly tell you that I like you.

But in the end, he added in a joking tone, "I'll get myself a Bentley Continental and take you for a spin!"

Tang Song smiled, reached out and pinched Yao Lingling's cheek, and said confidently, "I think you can definitely achieve this goal, Ling Ling, the famous designer."

Rongliu Capital and Juqing Huijin are currently in contact with the major shareholders of Huashang Apparel.

Once he gains control of the company, Songmei Clothing will assemble its own clothing design team.

He had a very high opinion of this junior schoolmate.

Yao Lingling clasped her hands in a fist and said, "Thank you for your support, senior. I will work hard."

"Alright, bye-bye then."

"Goodbye, senior." Yao Lingling waved reluctantly and Yoyo rode away on her little scooter.

I watched her figure disappear from sight.

Tang Song put on gloves and a helmet, mounted the motorcycle, and headed towards Yanjing Sky City.

When I got home, I took a quick shower and changed into some comfortable casual clothes.

Tang Song went straight to the study, put on [Tang Song's Glasses], and turned on the computer.

In the morning, Jiang You Rong sent over the information about the company she mentioned.

After all, it's related to the main storyline, and it can also complement Songmei Clothing, so he attaches great importance to this company.

Open the attachment information.

The company details Yi Yi displayed in front of you.

Founded in 2021, Hang City Yimai Technology Co., Ltd.. is a technology company that focuses on the intelligent upgrading of the apparel industry with AI as its core.

The CEO is a former senior technical expert at Alibaba.

Most of the startup team members are computer science PhDs or Masters, and architects from large companies.

In addition, there are supply chain directors from well-known apparel companies.

With the support of a top-notch startup team, their achievements are remarkable.

Revenue in 2022 was 110 million yuan, representing a year-on-year increase of 150%.

Among the investors are well-known investment institutions such as Penguin Investment and Matrix Partners China.

The technological breakthrough Jiang You Rong mentioned refers to Yimai Technology's development of a Large Model specifically for the apparel industry.

It can not only help designers quickly generate clothing design drafts, but also provide intelligent recommendations for fabrics, colors, and patterns.

It can also provide real-time inventory management, supplier matching and logistics optimization services to reduce supply chain costs.

Although it hasn't been launched yet, it's already very effective.

Therefore, just three months after the Series B funding round, they began planning for the Series B+ funding round.

Jiang You Rong also couldn't obtain specific financing information.

However, a conservative estimate would be no less than 500 million US dollars.

It's worth mentioning that Yimai Technology will participate in the "Investor Night, Lead the Future with Wisdom" event to be held in Magic City later.

To showcase the company's strength and vision, attract potential investors, and promote international expansion.

As a high-tech enterprise and in the booming AI field, Yimai Technology has no shortage of investors. They hope to gain more strategic resources and industry networks through these investors.

Tang Song looked at the lines of information above and felt eager to try it out.

Just as described in the Growth Plan Task, after becoming the controller of "Confluent Capital Limited", he was eager to make his mark in the primary investment market, having had multiple full venture capital experiences.

Investing in such technology companies and having in-depth contact with top investment institutions is indeed exciting for him.

6:30 p. m.

Yuhua Business Building, Shangya Fashion Design.

Xiao Mingxuan clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention, and announced loudly, "Everyone has worked hard today! The dinner I ordered for everyone has been placed in the activity area, along with Milk Tea, cake, and fruit. Please help yourselves!"

"Clap clap clap—" Loud applause rang out.

"President Xiao!" "President Xiao magnanimous!"

Li Shumin shouted excitedly, muttering excitedly, "Great! Milk Tea, cake... here I come!"

Yao Lingling laughed and said, "You're the most greedy one. You were just saying yesterday that you wanted to lose weight."

"Hehe, you have to be flexible when it comes to losing weight. This is free, you absolutely can't miss it!"

The two chatted and laughed as they followed their colleague out of the office area.

Upon arriving at the activity area, I received a beautifully prepared set meal and a cup of Milk Tea.

Yao Lingling sat at the dining table and snapped many photos, which she then shared with Tang Song.

The comment read, "I've already started eating! My boss treated us, and there were even fruits and snacks. It smells amazing!"

[Tang Song: "Looking at this makes me hungry, I'm going downstairs to eat."]

Yao Lingling took a sip of her Milk Tea and replied with a smile, "Senior, you said you'd come pick me up today, and I really meant it!"

Tang Song: "Of course, I mean what I say."

[Tang Song: Touching. gif]

Upon seeing the emoji he sent, Yao Lingling's face instantly turned bright red.

He hesitated for a while, biting his straw, and then replied with a "lol" emoji.

"Who are you chatting with? You seem to be having a great time." A voice came from across the room, and Xiao Mingxuan sat down opposite her with his lunchbox.

Yao Lingling pulled her Mobile Phone back and smiled, "I was sharing the company's great benefits with my friends, and I even praised you, President Xiao."

"Excellent, excellent. A grateful and helpful employee."

"Of course! Don't forget your sycophant when you get a promotion and a raise."

The two exchanged a few jokes.

Xiao Mingxuan casually said, "You didn't ride your motorcycle today. You won't get off work until after 8 o'clock. Want to take my free ride?"

Li Shumin, who was eating Braised Pork, immediately looked up, about to speak, when her foot was kicked.

Yao Lingling shook her head and smiled, "Thank you for your President Xiao! But I already have plans with a friend today, and he'll pick me up later, so I won't trouble you. I'll hitch a ride with you next time!"

Xiao Mingxuan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Oh? Which friend?"

Yao Lingling took a bite of meat and said in a relaxed tone, "Haha, President Xiao n't worry, he's a reliable friend and won't run away with me!"

Upon hearing Yao Lingling's reply, Xiao Mingxuan's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not pursue the matter further.

However, I had a bad feeling about it.

Yao Lingling would occasionally refuse his invitations, but this was the first time she had used this excuse.

Picking someone up from get off work in the evening, if it's a man, then the meaning is different.

A sumptuous dinner came to an end.

Yao Lingling and Li Shumin returned to the warehouse to inspect the samples and prepare spare items such as needles, thread, pins, and hangers.

Li Shumin patted Yao Lingling on the back and asked in a low voice, "Was that just a random excuse, or is someone really coming to pick you up?"

"Of course, he/she really existed!"

"Oh? Who is it? It couldn't be..." Li Shumin's eyes Jing Jing as she said, "Senior Tang Song, could it?"

Yao Lingling smiled without saying a word, playfully twisting her body with a smug look on her face.

"Wow, you Fake Ling, you actually fooled Senior Tang Song? He even came to pick you up from work!"

Yao Lingling said fiercely, "Hey, hey, hey! I'm warning you, don't you dare call me that nickname!"

Li Shumin asked excitedly, "How far have you two progressed? Have you kissed yet?"

Yao Lingling blushed and patted her head. "Oh dear, what are you thinking? There's nothing to it! We're good friends! Get back to work, or I'll dock your pay!"

Seeing her best friend's anger and embarrassment, Li Shumin made a face at her and said nothing more.

From her perspective, she actually really liked Xiao Mingxuan. He was a typical tall, rich, and handsome man, an only child, and had a good personality.

These are high-quality men that are difficult for them to meet.

However, ever since the Qixi Festival gift incident, she has felt...

Actually, Tang Song was also a very good student.

Moreover, he has a gentler personality, is more handsome, and is very generous.

It was the "Male God" that the sisters watched grow up.

Initially, on Little Red Book, she worked as a hairstylist, helping Tang Song with online makeovers.

Although they initially treated each other as Electronic Pet, subsequent offline encounters and repeated interactions led to them becoming good friends.

If Ling Ling can successfully get together with her senior, it would be a good choice.

The sky gradually darkened.

"Bye-bye, Ling Ling, Minmin, I'm leaving now."

"Sister Xuan, bye-bye."

"Goodbye, Ling Ling."

It was past 7 p. m. when my colleagues started leaving.

There are fewer and fewer people in the office area.

The entire Dreamy (Charm Vista) Business Unit actually only has one design director and four core designers.

The others are assistant designers, pattern makers, sales staff, marketing planners, etc.

Logically speaking, as one of the four core designers, Yao Lingling shouldn't need to work overtime until the end.

However, she is too inexperienced, having only been with Shangya Fashion Design for a year and a half.

Thanks to Xiao Mingxuan's help, she was able to go from a junior assistant designer to a core designer for the high-end brand "Beautiful Dream" in a short period of time.

Being in such a team inevitably leads to gossip and puts immense pressure on you.

Yao Lingling didn't want others to look down on her, nor did she want to betray Xiao Mingxuan's trust, so she was always the last to leave when working overtime and tried to arrive early every day, working with exceptional seriousness and responsibility.

This Yan Province International Clothing Fair is an opportunity for her to prove herself.

Yuhua Business Building, Room 1404, Xue Tang Culture.

The office, which is over 100 square meters, is fully equipped with computers, printers, water dispensers, and other equipment, and various documents and materials are neatly arranged on the desktop.

Xu Ning turned off the last light, locked the glass door, stepped into the elevator, and let out a long sigh of relief.

According to Xiao Xue, the Yannan Short Drama Base will be put into use next week, and their long-prepared artist management company will finally be officially operational.

Today, she gathered the best-qualified artists to the company and completed the initial registration and review process.

Despite lacking experience and not being very efficient, the task was eventually completed.

Furthermore, Xiao Xue has promised to hire two clerks for her soon to help the company get back on track.

Thinking about the company's promising future, Xu Ning felt a warm current welling up in her heart.

Perhaps, if Xue Tang Culture can really grow and thrive, it can not only help her pay off her debts, but also allow her to live a better life.

"Ding—" The elevator doors slowly opened.

Xu Ning took out her employee ID, swiped it to unlock the door, and strode towards the office building entrance.

Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks and looked in astonishment toward the corner of the lobby.

A familiar figure sat on the sofa in the open-plan beverage shop.

Her orange-yellow wavy hair fell naturally, and she wore a white silk shirt with suit pants and stiletto heels.

On that beautiful face, the corners of her bright red lips were slightly upturned, and her eyes were cold and arrogant as she stared intently at the direction of the elevator.

Wen Qiuyue!

Xu Ning took a deep breath, took out her Mobile Phone from her bag, and quickly walked out of the office building.

Yan Province Financial Center.

The matte gray Porsche 911 slowly drove out of the underground parking garage and merged into the main road.

Lin Mu Xue gripped the steering wheel, her slender fingers tapping lightly to the music.

She cared more about Tang Song's proposed acquisition of Huashang Apparel than anyone else.

She spent the entire weekend working overtime at the company, conducting a detailed analysis and research on Huashang Apparel with employees from the Investment Department and risk departments.

It wasn't until after 7 p. m. that she sent the completed report to Tang Song and went home from work with peace of mind.

"Ring ring—" The Mobile Phone phone suddenly rang.

Lin Mu Xue glanced at the caller ID, answered the phone, and said in a light tone, "Hello? Xu Ning, what's up?"

Soon, Xu Ning's somewhat nervous voice came through the receiver. "Xiao Xue, I ran into Wen Qiuyue at the Yuhua Business Building!"

Lin Mu Xue was taken aback, her eyes instantly sharpening. "Is she still there?"

"Yeah, she was sitting in the coffee shop on the first floor, probably waiting for her fiancé. But her expression was really weird, just like when she was about to throw a tantrum, which scared me so much that I quickly came out."

Lin Mu Xue gripped the steering wheel tightly, her inner turmoil finally bursting forth. "Wait for me at the coffee shop, I'm coming to pick you up now."

"Ah! Xiao Xue, don't be impulsive!"

Lin Mu Xue's lips curled up, and she said in a low voice, "Hehe, don't worry, I'm not stupid."

After saying that, she hung up the phone, turned the steering wheel, and drove towards the Yuhua Business Building.

Wen Qiuyue is a lingering psychological shadow for her.

For a long time, she would even wake up from nightmares.

If there's one person she most wants to see after achieving great success, it's definitely Wen Qiuyue.

Although she had already planned her schedule for next Wednesday, she really couldn't wait.

She longed to appear before Wen Qiuyue immediately, to look down at her from above, and to make this woman who had once trampled on her self-esteem take a good look at herself now.
