Wednesday, August 9, 2023, cloudy, 24~32℃.

Shangya Clothing Design Company.

Various fabrics are scattered on the table, and stacks of design sketches are stacked on the shelf next to it.

Yao Lingling was wearing a simple white shirt and casual pants, and holding a soft pencil to write and draw.

The hair was tied up casually, and a few strands of hair fell on the cheeks, focusing and freely.

After drawing the sketch, Yao Lingling sighed and showed a joyful smile on her face.

He turned his head and said softly: "Minmin, the picture has been drawn. Please help me prepare the following materials and auxiliary materials. We... Hey, Mingxuan? No, it's Mr. Xiao, when did you come."

"Haha." Xiao Mingxuan smiled and blinked, "Minmin was arranged by me to do data. I have been sitting here for half an hour, and all OA applications have been processed."

"Ah..." Yao Lingling said a little embarrassedly: "I really didn't notice it yet. Sorry, Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Mingxuan shook his head and said, "It's okay. As a leader, I like to hear you as a leader."

"Hehe, thank you Mr. Xiao!" Yao Lingling covered her mouth and chuckled, handed over the design drawing on her hand, "Look at my new work and give me some advice."

Now that the internal reform of the company has been completed, Xiao Mingxuan officially serves as the director of Qimeng brand business department.

It is mainly aimed at working women with consumption ability, and is committed to creating high-quality products needed by target customers.

As the first batch of employees to enter the department and the most experienced designer, Yao Lingling is under great pressure and has been working hard to prove herself.

Xiao Mingxuan looked at it carefully for a while and briefly explained his opinion.

Although he studied management abroad, he has been influenced by his childhood and has had certain insights into clothing design after graduation.

The two chatted for a few minutes.

Xiao Mingxuan smiled and said, "The design draft has been released, so you shouldn't have to work overtime tonight. I'm still half an hour away from get off work, how about going to the food stall to have lobster barbecue?"

"Uh..." Yao Lingling felt a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I made an appointment with a netizen two days ago and I'm going to go to her tonight to buy a second-hand cycling suit, which is quite far away in Qiaoxi District."

After buying a scooter, it is definitely safer to wear cycling clothes if you occasionally travel far or go home.

However, her current financial situation is not very abundant, and she is reluctant to buy new ones.

Just like a motorcycle, I sent a purchase information in the school’s second-hand trading group.

A girl happened to be selling these two days. The most important thing is that she is about the same height and weight as hers.

The opportunity is rare, she doesn't want to miss it.

"Okay, then let's talk about it tomorrow." Xiao Mingxuan shrugged indifferently and suddenly smiled: "Lingling, tell you the secret."

"What's the secret?" Yao Lingling's face suddenly showed a gossipy look, and she lowered her head and leaned over.

Xiao Mingxuan whispered: "I just suddenly realized that you look so beautiful when you draw pictures seriously!"

Yao Lingling was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao for your praise. Please tell me more of this kind of truth!"

"Haha." Xiao Mingxuan smiled, looked at Yao Lingling's fresh and simple face, picked up the pencil on the table, and wrote seriously on the back of the design sketch: "I like it very much."

Then he put the sketch back in front of Yao Lingling, blinked at her, stood up and strode away.

Looking at the four big words above, Yao Lingling's eyes drooped slightly and her mood was complicated.

At this moment, the "da da da" footsteps approached.

"Lingling." Li Shumin approached and asked with concern: "What did Mr. Xiao talk to you just now? I think you are very happy, so I didn't come to disturb you."

Yao Lingling shook her head, "It's nothing, I just talk about the design draft. By the way, Mr. Xiao wants to go to the food stall downstairs tonight, so you can make an appointment with him."

Li Shumin nodded, then saw the words on the paper, as if she understood something.

He sighed and said with envy: "Lingling, you are really lucky. You are such an excellent and rich man, and your personality is so great. If you miss it, it will be a regret for a lifetime. You don't know how many people are staring at him in our company now."

For Li Shumin, Xiao Mingxuan is the absolute ideal type.

Beautiful, good temperament, the future CEO...

If you can have a sweet office love, it would be really a novel plot that reflects reality, which is too romantic.

She has tried hard, often chatting with Xiao Mingxuan on WeChat, and actively approached the other party at work.

But all this is in vain, and you can still feel a great distance from him.

To settle for the second best, she really hopes that her good sister Lingling can achieve success with each other.

Yao Lingling shook her head, "We are just ordinary colleagues and friends, not as complicated as you think."

Li Shumin curled her lips, "Haha, you used to say that Senior Tang Song is your good brother and good friend, isn't it also a deterioration of friendship? You have started to practice your butt for others."

"Oh!" Yao Lingling blushed in an instant, "You are so Minmin! What are you talking nonsense!"

"Are you talking nonsense? You know it in your heart?"

…

After a while of whispering, I communicated the details of the design draft and it happened to be the time to get off work.

Yao Lingling opened WeChat, clicked on the contact person, and left a message: "Hello girl, I'm off work, I'm about 19 o'clock in your community, is there no problem?"

After a while, the phone shook.

[Inspiration Design-Cheng Qiuqiu: "I will definitely be home before 19 o'clock. Just call me when you arrive."]

After replying to an OK emoticon, Yao Lingling put on her backpack, picked up her helmet, said goodbye to her colleagues, and went downstairs.

Put your phone on the stand and set up navigation.

Riding on your beloved motorcycle, walking through the streets and alleys of Yancheng, and heading towards your destination.

Nearly half an hour later, the motorcycle slowly drove into Zhuxi Community, Qiaoxi District.

After parking the motorcycle downstairs, Yao Lingling took out the wet wipes from her bag and wiped it.

Yancheng in August is the hottest time.

Even at dusk, it is still stuffy and unbearable.

The hair was wet as I rode along the way.

He took out his cell phone and dialed Cheng Qiuqiu's phone number, and said briefly.

Yao Lingling leaned on the motorcycle, wiping her sweat while waiting for the other party to get out.

There are many second-hand trading groups she works in, and the members are all students from several universities in Yancheng.

Exchange information and help each other.

The house she lives in, the small appliances she buys, small furniture, and motorcycles she used to buy some time ago were all found in the group.

Compared with complex society, students are still more reliable.

Cheng Qiuqiu is from Yancheng University, and like her, she is an art school.

However, this girl is quite cold. She added her friends on WeChat to block her circle of friends and speaks very distantly.

They are completely opposite to her.

With a "beep", the unit door was gently pushed open.

Immediately afterwards, a figure came out.

Ordinary outfits, light-colored base + jeans.

The facial features are three-dimensional and the complexion is indifferent. Although they are not old, they have a strong temperament.

Especially the plump breasts, against the backdrop of a slender waist, are round and full, with a very visual impact.

Yao Lingling's eyes paused slightly, and her face showed an envious look.

I just don’t know why, but I always feel that the other person looks familiar and must have seen him somewhere.

The girl's eyes quickly fell on her and nodded, "Hello, is it Lingling?"

"Oh, yes!" Yao Lingling quickly stood up, walked forward with her helmet, and reached out and said openly: "Hello, I am Yao Lingling, you are Cheng Qiuqiu, right? I didn't expect that, the real person is so damn!"

Cheng Qiuqiu hesitated for a moment, looked at the girl's bright and cheerful smile, and shook hands with her, "Hello, the cycling suit is upstairs, go and try it to see if it fits."

"Well, okay." Yao Lingling nodded and followed her into the unit door.

The reason I came here specially was to try it myself. After all, brand anti-fall riding clothes are quite expensive, and even second-hand ones cost several hundred yuan.

"Ding——" The elevator door slowly opened.

The two walked into the door of 1202 one after another.

"It's this set. I bought it at a physical store for 1,999 yuan two years ago. I don't wear it many times and it's still very new." Cheng Qiuqiu pointed to the neat gray-green clothes on the sofa.

Yao Lingling picked up her clothes and unfolded them, and carefully checked them.

As a fashion designer, she can naturally tell the quality and authenticity of her clothes.

The texture is very good, the main fabric is high-quality polyester, large area of ​​ventilation mesh patchwork on the front and back, and Velcro cuffs.

The collar of the top is made of ribbed fabric, which is comfortable and not easy to deform.

It's exactly the same as in the photo, the pants are almost worn without any wear, and it can be seen that they have really not worn much.
