6:00 in the morning, the alarm clock went off on ti.
Lingling reached out a hand from under the covers and skillfully turned off the reminder on her phone screen.
Talking to herself, she said, "Ti to get up~"
She rubbed her eyes, threw off the covers, and sat up.
The air of late autumn carried a clear chill, causing tiny goosebumps to rise on her exposed skin.
She instinctively pulled up the collar of her pajamas, shivered a bit, and the drowsiness was completely driven away by the chill.
Quickly opening her phone, her fingers moved deftly across the screen.
Searching, confirming, then she opened the pinned WeChat chatbox.
On the screen, the cursor jumped nimbly.
[Lingling: "( *╹▽╹*) Good morning, little brother, today is October 30th, Monday, Xiang River is cloudy turning clear, temperatures 20~26°C. Dressing advice as follows..."]
After sending the ssage, she put down her phone, a satisfied smile spreading on her lips.
When sothing becos a habit, it gradually provides comfort, always feeling like this brings her a bit closer to him.
Moreover, Tang Song would reply to her ssages every day and chat with her for a while.
She changed into workout clothes, went to the living room, and turned on the ceiling light.
Lingling laid out the yoga mat, set up her tablet on the opposite side, and opened the saved "Advanced Glutes and Legs Workout Course."
Single-leg Romanian deadlifts, resistance band squat sprints, weighted hip thrusts, high knees followed by Burpee jumps...
In the living room, only her increasingly heavy breathing and the dull sounds of her body hitting the ground could be heard.
Sweat quickly soaked the hair on her forehead, dripping down her cheeks, the muscle ache and the heat from sweating made her grit her teeth but also feel a kind of exhilarating pleasure.
Finishing her workout, she washed up.
Back in the bedroom, she walked briskly to her desk and picked up a fashion design sketch.
Looking at the jacket on the paper with its sharp lines and full details, her eyes lit up with a dazzling brilliance.
This was her first piece at Songi Clothing, finally completed.
After a long ti of accumulation and experintation, she had integrated that vibrant, vivid inspiration mood board she had seen on Wen Ruan.
She had finally found what she had been searching for all along, a style that was sharp, free, yet carried a sense of urban femininity and empowernt.
The whole weekend, she had almost shut herself in and imrsed herself in the world of creation, finally finishing the last bit of work.
This was her first piece at Songi Clothing and also her first "signature" as a designer in the true sense.
From integrating inspirations, determining the core elents of the series, to hand-drawn sketches, selecting fabrics and accessories, to the final pattern making, every step was done independently by her.
She was full of confidence in her work, an unprecedented self-assurance.
"Ding-dong——" The WeChat notification sounded.
Lingling picked up her charging phone, instantly beaming with delight.
[Tang Song: "I’ve already changed into the outfit you suggested, as expected of a professional fashion designer, very impressive."]
[Tang Song: Selfie.jpg]
Opening the photo and seeing Tang Song’s handso and charismatic appearance, with eyes like stars, Lingling blushed, her heart racing.
Lingling’s cheeks involuntarily heated up, her fingers flew quickly across the screen.
She replied, "(づ￣ 3￣)づ Wow, senior, you’re so handso, very elite-like, haha."
[Tang Song: Check out your (emoji)]
Lingling bit her lip, quickly opened her wardrobe, grabbed a thicker undergarnt first, then a pair of lifting shorts, and quickly changed.
She stood in front of the mirror, feeling a rush of secret joy.
Her hard work had ultimately paid off, her waist-to-hip ratio now could be considered perfect, as long as she wore slightly tighter pants, she would definitely turn heads on the street.
Even in the Cloud Stream Building, she would often be approached.
She took a deep breath, picked up her phone, adjusted the angle, and confidently took a full-body photo to share.
After waiting for a mont.
"Buzz buzz buzz——"
[Tang Song: "👍 Not bad at all, great physique, the training marks are clear, you can tell your core strength is stable, keep it up."]
Lingling’s lips curled into a big smile, she replied, "I feel like I’ve hit a plateau, senior, you’re quite the fitness expert now, maybe you can give so pointers when you have ti."
[Tang Song: "No problem, when I return to Yan City."]
Lingling instantly felt bubbles of sweetness rising.
Her heart skipped a beat, turning to look at the design sketch on the desk, a bold idea silently surfaced in her mind.
She bit her lip, slowly typed, "By the way, senior, my first piece is completed, it’s going into the sample production phase today. It will definitely be on sale before Double 11; this is my ’labor of love.’ If it sells well, shouldn’t you, the boss, give a little reward? (#wink) "
[Tang Song: "That fast? Impressive, you’re our company’s only designer, and this is also Songi Clothing’s first real piece. How about this, if the first broadcast GMV of this piece surpasses 2 million yuan, I’ll double your performance bonus and year-end bonus!"]
A single piece’s first broadcast GMV surpassing 2 million would definitely be a big hit at Songi Clothing.
Lingling’s performance bonus is linked to the sales, and there’s a tiered reward for bestsellers; the year-end bonus starts at a minimum of three months.
This doubling would bring significant salary growth, potentially enough for her to buy a nice car.
Struggling for a mont, Lingling mustered enough courage to reply: ["(#Playful) Forget about the money, lest the colleagues have opinions. How about this, senior, if the GMV can surpass 4 million, would you fulfill a wish of mine?"]
"Buzz buzz buzz——"
[Tang Song: "Looks like you’re very confident, Lingling, alright, no problem!"]
