Chapter 1152: Chapter 447: Lin Muxue and Wen Qiuyue (Part 2)
Having spent so much time with Tang Song today, she really let herself go and spoke with much less restraint.
When she made this request, she didn’t actually expect Tang Song to agree; it was just an offhand comment, a joke.
Hearing her words, Tang Song lightly cleared his throat, looked serious, and said, "How did you know I had a Bentley Continental?"
"Pfft—hahaha—" Yao Lingling bent over with laughter.
After a long while, she finally straightened up and beamed, "Senior, you’re really funny!"
Tang Song tapped her helmet, "I say, you’re not playing me again this time, right?"
"Of course not!" Yao Lingling quickly shook her head, playfully winked, and said with a grin, "I still have to go to the company this afternoon and won’t be done until around 8 PM. How about senior comes to pick me up in the Bentley Continental then? To be honest, if you drove a Bentley, you’d definitely be way more handsome than Gao Junfeng!"
"You have a good eye!" Tang Song nodded approvingly, "Alright, when you’re done later, I’ll come pick you up."
He quite liked the cheerful and open cyber girlfriend and the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere of spending time with her.
Of course, he was also curious to see her reaction when she actually saw him driving a Continental.
Just thinking about it felt amusing.
For Tang Song now, besides raising his charm score, he was more focused on pursuing meaningful and interesting things.
Yao Lingling giggled, "You said you’d come pick me up, Senior. I’m taking it seriously."
Tang Song nodded, "Yeah, I mean it too."
Yao Lingling blushed slightly, "Then... then I’ll message you when I’m done, since I can’t be sure exactly when I’ll finish."
The International Clothing Exhibition in Yan Province was in just three days, and her company was especially busy.
She had stayed up late to finish all the design work on her hands to have more than half a day to cycle with Tang Song.
But she had to rush back before 2 PM, meet with the team, prepare the stands, models, and inspect the samples for the exhibition.
Actually, whether it was a Bentley or not didn’t really matter to her. She believed Tang Song was just joking with her.
What truly mattered to her was Tang Song coming to pick her up from work.
This kind of romantic gesture only appeared occasionally in her dreams.
Just the thought stirred her heart; naturally, she couldn’t miss it.
At noon, the two found a little eatery that Yao Lingling frequented.
They ordered a few spicy and tasty dishes, happily chatted while eating heartily.
With her Born to be Fit physique, Yao Lingling had a great appetite and finished two bowls of rice alone.
Before parting.
Yao Lingling looked forward with eyes full of anticipation, "This International Clothing Exhibition in Yan Province is very important for our local companies. If my work wins an award at this exhibition, maybe one day in the future, I could become a well-known designer."
She glanced at Tang Song, thinking she might want to say: perhaps by then, I could openly say I like you.
But in the end, she used a playful tone and said, "By then, I’ll get myself a Bentley Continental and take you for a spin!"
Tang Song smiled, pinched Yao Lingling’s cheek and affirmed, "I think you can definitely achieve that goal, renowned designer Lingling."
Currently, Rongliu Capital and Gathering Emotion Gold were already in contact with the major shareholders of Huashang Clothing.
Once he gained control of the company, Songmei Clothing would form its own fashion design team.
He had high hopes for this junior schoolmate.
Yao Lingling clasped her hands in gratitude, "Thanks for the encouragement, Senior. I’ll work hard!"
"Alright then, goodbye now."
"Goodbye, Senior." Yao Lingling waved reluctantly and slowly rode her scooter away.
He watched as her figure disappeared.
Tang Song put on his gloves, helmet, mounted the motorcycle, and headed towards YJTC.
Upon arriving home, he took a quick shower and changed into a comfortable casual outfit.
Tang Song went straight to the study, put on Tang Song’s glasses, and turned on the computer.
In the morning, Jiang Yourong had already sent over the information about the company she mentioned.
Since it related to the main mission, and could complement Songmei Clothing, he took this company very seriously.
He opened the attached information.
The company details unfolded before his eyes.
Hang City’s Yimai Technology Co., Ltd, established in 2021, is a tech company focused on AI-driven intelligent upgrades for the clothing industry.
The CEO is a former senior technical expert from Alibaba.
The founding team mostly consists of PhDs or master’s degree holders in computer science, and architects from major firms.
Additionally, there’s also a supply chain director from a renowned clothing company.
With such a stellar entrepreneurial team, their results are quite impressive.
In 2022, they had a revenue of 110 million, a 150% year-over-year growth.
Among their investors are notable institutions like Penguin Investment and Jingwei China.
The technological breakthrough Jiang Yourong mentioned was Yimai Technology training a large model specifically for the clothing industry.
It can not only help designers quickly generate clothing design drafts but also provide intelligent recommendations for fabrics, colors, and patterns.
Additionally, it offers real-time inventory management, supplier matching, and logistics optimization services to reduce supply chain costs.
Though it’s not live yet, the outcomes are excellent.
Because of this, the company started planning a B+ round of funding just three months after finishing round B.
Jiang Yourong couldn’t get the specific funding details either.
But conservatively, it won’t be less than 500 million US Dollars.
It’s worth mentioning that Yimai Technology will participate in the upcoming event "Investor Night, Smart Future," to be held in Shanghai.
They aim to showcase their company strengths and vision, attract potential investors, and drive international expansion.
