Chapter 419: Deep Bonds of Sisterhood (Part 2)
"Move your legs a bit closer to me, stick your butt out! Lift your head and chest, smile."
"OK, just like that, done!"
Zhang Jiahong handed over the phone, "Take a look, how is it?"
Yao Lingling looked at herself 'striking a pose' on the screen, her face gradually reddening, "Why do I look so... so seductive?"
"You don't get it, this is how you catch a guy's eye!" Li Shumin said enviously, "If I had Lingling's waist-to-hip ratio, I'd definitely wear tight pants every day."
"Quick, send it, see how Senpai will respond!"
Yao Lingling touched her burning face, but still gritted her teeth, opened the chat with Tang Song, and sent it.
She messaged: "I just finished working out, but not as intense as Senpai's sessions."
The three of them huddled together, eagerly watching the phone screen.
After a moment.
[Tang Song: "Saved ❛‿˂✧✧"]
"Hahaha—" The living room was filled with joyful laughter.
Yao Lingling's face was both red and hot as she typed back, "Senpai, will you set it as your phone's wallpaper? Watch out, I might monitor you every day, hehe."
Li Shumin exaggeratedly said, "Lingling, you're such a flirt!"
"Get lost." Yao Lingling kicked her, and continued to flirt online a few more lines.
As long as it's not face-to-face, she's the online flirting queen Yaoling!
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
[Tang Song: "By the way, Lingling, I've been busy lately, so I haven't asked you, how's Jiahong doing at Huashang Clothing? If there are any problems, you can tell me directly."]
The living room gradually quieted down.
Yao Lingling said in surprise, "Jiahong, did you tell Senpai about entering Huashang Clothing?"
Because Zhang Jiahong's job situation was resolved by Xiao Mingxuan, she had been embarrassed to tell Senpai about it, afraid it would make him uncomfortable.
"No, I didn't." Zhang Jiahong shook her head blankly.
Li Shumin curiously asked, "Why did Senpai ask Jiahong to tell him about any problems?"
"No idea, it's so strange." Yao Lingling scratched her head and quickly replied, "Senpai, how did you know Jiahong went to Huashang Clothing?"
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
[Tang Song: "You sent me the resume, have you forgotten so quickly?"]
When they saw this message, the three of them instantly looked at each other.
Yao Lingling and Li Shumin's eyes widened as if they realized something.
Zhang Jiahong asked puzzledly, "Lingling, what does Senpai mean? Does he know Huashang Clothing's HR?"
Yao Lingling took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Senpai heard about you being laid off, so he asked me for your resume, saying he'd give it a referral."
Zhang Jiahong opened her mouth wide, "Senpai referred me to Huashang Clothing? What about your President Xiao..."
Li Shumin exclaimed, "What a coincidence!"
Yao Lingling pursed her lips and typed back, "I didn't forget, just didn't expect Senpai to care so much about this."
[Tang Song: "Just the other day, Huashang's HR notified me about Jiahong joining, but I've been too busy to tell you. There will be many opportunities at Huashang Clothing, tell Jiahong to work hard, and she can come to me if there are any issues."]
"This..." Li Shumin's heart jumped, and she said in shock, "Does this mean... that Jiahong's job was referred by Tang Song?"
Yao Lingling took a deep breath, feeling guilt all over her face, "It seems so."
"This situation is quite a conundrum..."
"So what do we do now?" Li Shumin whispered, "We didn't know Senpai had such impressive connections."
They all thought it was Xiao Mingxuan who helped, so they never expressed gratitude to Tang Song before.
Now that he brought it up himself, they're indeed in the wrong.
Zhang Jiahong patted Yao Lingling's butt suddenly, saying, "Lingling, we really messed up; how about inviting Senpai over for dinner tonight, and I'll express my gratitude in person? Also, that suit you made is almost ready for Mid-Autumn; it's time to give it to him."
"Ah." Yao Lingling said, feeling tempted, "I'll give it a shot, see if he's free."
...
Shengyuan Jiajing District.
"Ding dong—" The WeChat notification sound rang.
[Lingling: "Thank you, Senpai, are you free tonight? Come to Star Garden Community for a meal, we'd like to thank you in person."]
Tang Song: "No need to thank me, but I'm up for a meal."
[Lingling: "Alright then, as long as Senpai dares to come, we'll treat you to the best food and drinks!"]
[Lingling: FlirtyWink.gif]
Seeing the emoji, Tang Song chuckled out loud.
He typed back, "Good food and drinks don't matter, Lingling just needs to sit beside me in workout pants."
Upon sending the message, Yao Lingling fell silent.
Tang Song could imagine the blush on his junior's face.
Although Yao Lingling seemed cheerful and lively, she was only bold online.
In real life, she was timid.
He actually admired this junior a lot and was quite interested in inviting her to join Songmei Clothing's design team.
In fact, he intended to establish a subsidiary of Songmei Clothing, as an independent fashion design company, to operate this fashion brand.
This way, it could effectively differentiate from Songmei Clothing's existing live-stream selling business, aiming for precise market targeting and marketing, with professional operations.
However, the branding of the "He Yiyi" IP has yet to start, everything is still in its initial stages.
The priority is to build the brand department, determine brand style positioning, and strategic planning.
After that comes product development and supply chain setup.
This is a very complex and tedious process, but luckily as a major shareholder and chairman of Huashang Clothing, there are no hindrances for future manufacturing.
For the [Growth Plan Task], leveraging existing resources and connections to help Songmei Clothing is normal practice, not against the rules.
