Chapter 118 She Touched You
A female executive of Xiayun Group said with a smile during the chat: "Teacher Song Dao's image and temperament are very suitable for our brand. Young, motivated, controversial but clean!"

Zhang Rong nodded and said, "This controversial but clean description is very appropriate!"

As he said this, he looked at Lin Fei and Song Dao and smiled, "I was originally a tailor. My master was a top tailor who had made tailor-made clothes for many national leaders..."

There were some finished clothes for display hanging in this reception room, and the executives of Xiayun Group were all wearing their own clothes.

In Song Dao's opinion, it was very similar to the Zhongshan suit he wore in his previous life.

It really makes a tall and slender man like him look very energetic when he wears it.

He listened carefully to Zhang Rong's account of the past.

I found that these big guys all have a habit of turning any place into their personal speech stage.

"I was my teacher's last disciple at the time. Before I even graduated, some of my senior brothers and sisters had already started clothing businesses, and they were doing quite well."

"After I finished my apprenticeship, I was the first to join their company. It was not until 20 years ago, when I was over 40, that I decided to start my own business."

“It was a tough time at first!”

He sighed and looked at Song Dao: "No matter how talented a person is, it is easy for him to be targeted when he first starts out."

"I remember that year, a senior who used to be very close to me suddenly sued me in court, accusing me of plagiarism..."

He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But that was clearly my original creation! It was just because my master had a birthday party and I got drunk, so I boasted to him a little, and he produced it before me."

"Actually, I regretted it after I sobered up, and asked my subordinates to work overtime. The products from our two families came out almost at the same time."

"But I was just a small fry at that time, and they were a big company."

"Without Xiao Song, you... don't mind being called that, right?"

Song Dao smiled and shook his head.

Zhang Rong continued, "I'm not as lucky as you, Xiao Song, and I don't have a great background. I can only think hard about how to run the company well, and try to find various connections to reconcile with my senior brother..."

"Reconciliation?" Song Dao was a little surprised.

"Yes, what else can we do if we don't reconcile? The public opinion twenty years ago was different from that of today. Do you know how it feels when all the newspapers in a city are full of negative reports about you?" Zhang Rong said with emotion.

"Well, I might know something." Song Dao said.

A low laugh suddenly broke out in the conference room.

Zhang Rong also laughed: "That's why we have something in common! When I told this to the kids in the company, they didn't like to hear it!"

"No, no, we love to hear it."

"I wish you would tell us more about the past."

"You are really wronging me, I love to hear that!"

The atmosphere in the living room was relaxed.

Zhang Rong waved his hands: "Don't interrupt me. Xiao Song and I hit it off right away. I need him to understand me. If he understands me, it's like understanding the entire history of Xia Yun."

Everyone nodded seriously.

You are the boss, and you are taking over the business work from the subordinates. Who dares to say anything?

As long as you are happy.

Song Dao also pretended to listen carefully.

Zhang Rong continued, "So I bowed my head and admitted my defeat, hoping that my senior brother would let me go because we were from the same school. I also stopped fighting with him for the patent and gave it all to him."

"But he made a huge demand, wanting to buy the 'Xia Yun' brand that I had just founded and asked me to work for him."

"Of course I couldn't agree to this. I asked many of my fellow disciples to help me, but it didn't work. In the end, I had no choice but to ask my 80-year-old teacher to come out. To be honest, if there was a second way, I wouldn't want him to know about this."

Song Dao nodded.

Zhang Rong said: "The matter has been resolved. After my senior brother obtained the patent for that series of clothing, he generously withdrew the lawsuit and let me go."

At this point, even the senior executives of Xiayun Group who had heard this story many times in the reception room could not help but reveal angry and aggrieved expressions.

"So, I heard from people below a few days ago that they were going to choose two image spokespersons, so I paid special attention to Ms. Lin Fei. There is nothing much to say about this. Whether it is character or image, she is first-class."

"Xiao Song, this is the first time I've heard of you. Then they told me the story about you..."

At this point, he looked at Song Dao and said, "It seems like it just happened two days ago, right?"

Song Dao nodded again: "Yes, just a few days ago."

"I feel very emotional. In fact, Ms. Lin Fei feels the same way. We have something in common!"

Zhang Rong looked at the two of them and said, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind; a person who stands out from the crowd will be criticized. Xiayun Group has gone through many ups and downs over the past 20 years, but we have survived.

The senior brother who stole my idea and registered the patent, his company was successfully acquired by me five years ago.

There are also many of my colleagues who have been madly squeezing, attacking and suppressing me over the years. There are not many companies left now.

I went to watch your show last night, and there was one thing you said that was absolutely right!
What doesn't kill me will make me stronger!"

In the reception room, everyone burst into warm applause.

Song Dao, Lin Fei and Li Qingqing also applauded.

Zhang Rong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Before you came, someone suggested that you, Xiao Song, should be a brand friend or a brand ambassador. I said that won't work!"

He looked at Song Dao: "The Xiayun brand doesn't do those messy things, it only has spokespersons. I hope you can directly be the spokesperson for our Xiaguo brand!" "Ms. Lin Fei, don't be the spokesperson for the Asia-Pacific region, just be the global spokesperson for Xiayun!"

"Our brand will go global sooner or later. Compared to those blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners, I would rather have someone from our country with a good image, good temperament, and good character endorse it!"

"And Xiayun Group will also set aside a portion of its publicity expenses to build the image of the two of you in various channels. For example, some top magazines, some high-end fashion shows..."

In fact, this is also the only way for a brand to become a top international brand.

But Mr. Zhang is really good at speaking.

And we have to admit that when a big shot like him personally took the time to meet with two artists from the entertainment industry, what he gave was really different.

Lin Fei went directly from being the image spokesperson for women's clothing in the Asia-Pacific region to the global spokesperson for the entire brand.

There is a big gap here!

Song Dao also went from being "uncertain" to coming over to borrow a few sets of clothes, and was directly identified as the spokesperson for the Xia Guo brand.

Although the price cannot be discussed directly on this occasion, it will be handed over to Li Qingqing to handle later.

But for a big brand that is determined to enter the international market, it is impossible for it to give too little!
Because this is also a point to promote your own brand!

Otherwise, why would you invite a popular queen to be your spokesperson and pay her 18 million a year to compete with those luxury brands?
So when he said this, Li Qingqing's face immediately showed joy.

Song Dao was also shocked.

Glancing at the diva lady next to me.

Cool and calm.

The young lady was once the spokesperson for a top international luxury brand.

Although this situation is not a small one, for her, it is just getting back what she lost in the past.

"Thank you Mr. Zhang for your trust, and thank you for your group's high evaluation of us." Li Qingqing expressed her gratitude.

Zhang Rong smiled slightly: "When a brand chooses a spokesperson, it must first have a compatible aura, so Mr. Li, there is no need to thank me. This is the result of a two-way selection, and it is also a win-win result!"

As he said that, he looked at Song Dao and said, "Xiao Song, I am very optimistic about you. For the Xiayun brand, we will not have a male global spokesperson for the time being. Moreover, we are currently mainly focusing on women's clothing, which accounts for about 70 to 80% of the market share. I hope you can bring up men's clothing, and then the position of global spokesperson will be yours!"

Song Dao bowed slightly: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Rong glanced at the female executive and said, "Take Mr. Song and Ms. Lin to choose clothes later. After you choose the style, ask the factory to make them as soon as possible!"

"Okay, Mr. Zhang." The female executive glanced at Song Dao with bright eyes.

As an executive of a clothing company, he is definitely good at judging people.

Even though Song Dao was wearing casual clothes, she only needed one glance to know that this was a man who looked thin when dressed but had muscular body when undressed!
With a height of about 1.8 meters and a handsome and ascetic face, he is obviously a top-notch clothes rack.

I’m a little greedy... No, I kind of like it!
Never mind, I really like this!
……

On the way back, there were still two of us.

Now that the "superstructure" has been settled, Li Qingqing still needs to negotiate with the other party about the endorsement fee.

These things are generally difficult to complete within a few days.

But it’s hard to say about the situation today.

After all, the big boss met Lin Fei and Song Dao in person, and they had a very pleasant conversation with each other.

Maybe sooner.

Anyway, this is a good thing for both of them.

But Lin Fei seemed a little depressed on the way back.

Song Dao was a little curious and asked her what was wrong.

"She touched you." Lin Fei muttered softly.

"What?" Song Dao was stunned. "Don't talk nonsense. Who touched me?"

"It's that female executive named Yang Na. There is a special ruler, but she insisted on using it..." Lin Fei's delicate little face was full of the expression that I am not very happy.

Song Dao was speechless.

It's not that he's straight, to be honest he really doesn't have any feelings.

Although the female executive looked at him with bright eyes, she was still quite well-behaved.

The measuring process was meticulous and looked very professional.

She also told Song Dao that she had actually worked her way up from being a front-line female worker, and if she weren't busy with other things, she would have wanted to make the clothes for him herself.

Looking at Lin Fei who was looking tense, Song Dao suddenly smiled and said, "Starting tomorrow and continuing until the end of the month to participate in Penguin Music's annual celebration, let's record those four songs."

Lin Fei also knew that she was somewhat confused. Teacher Song was not related to her. He was at most a good friend, and he really hadn't gone too far.

It's quite confusing to be affected by this matter.

But I still couldn't help feeling a little unhappy.

Seeing him change the subject, I nodded and said, "Okay."

At the end, he added: "You can say I can, but don't scold me!"
