Chapter 209 The East Wind Has Arrived, the Yoga Teacher [5K Long Chapter]

Binjiang Avenue.

Gaps in the lockers on the bike path.

Lin Qingsong bent down and picked up the Hermès wallet hidden inside.

[Daily News 03 (Green): Hermes wallet with 800 yuan in cash found in the gap of the locker on the Binjiang Cycling Path]

Looking at the wallet marked as green by the system and the eight hundred yuan inside.

Lin Qingsong inexplicably felt that the system was indeed a bit unintelligent.

Judging from the discerning eye he honed under Gu Wen's tutelage, the wallet in his hand was 100% genuine.

According to the information he just took and found online, this wallet costs at least seven or eight thousand yuan.

Even if there is some friction in the gaps, it can still be sold at half price.

If Gu Wen were to make a few more repairs, it would definitely sell for five or six thousand.

But the system information only mentioned 800 yuan?
After glancing at his wallet and finding nothing inside except for eight hundred yuan in cash, Lin Qingsong blew off the dust and put it back in his pocket.

Then they continued along this 23-kilometer-long scenic avenue that runs from Yangpu Bridge in the north to Qiantan in the south along the Huangpu River.

Because of the views of the Huangpu River and the Puxi area, this is a popular route for cycling and running.

In addition to the running track, there are also dedicated bike paths and viewing platforms.

Because there are so many people exercising and sightseeing, they even have a special place to store bags.

I wonder which guy was so careless as to lose his wallet while storing his things.

After running for about an hour, Lin Qingsong, who was covered in sweat, went to the gym to do a few more sets of leg exercises before returning upstairs.

When she got home this time, Tian Xiwei didn't bring him a dark, unappetizing breakfast. Instead, she unusually practiced yoga at home.

"Xiao Tian." Lin Qingsong looked at Tian Xiwei, who had only fallen asleep at two or three in the morning, and asked in confusion, "Why did you wake up so early? Couldn't you sleep a little longer?"

He can get up so early because of a systematic sleep aura.

What's the story behind Tian Xiwei?

"Hehe, I slept all day yesterday, and then slept for a long time on the plane, so I'm not sleepy at all." Tian Xiwei said, grimacing as she got up from the yoga mat. "Besides, I'm probably going to be on a long flight again tonight, so I'll definitely be sleeping again. I might as well exercise a bit."

Watching the yoga video playing on TV, Lin Qingsong asked curiously, "How come I didn't know you knew yoga? When did you start practicing?"

If I had known she knew yoga, I could have unlocked even more poses last night.

"I don't know how," Tian Xiwei said matter-of-factly, pointing to the paused yoga video in front of her. "Today is my first day practicing, and this video says it takes seven days to get started."

"No, you'd be better off believing me as Qin Shi Huang than believing this kind of clickbait headline." Lin Qingsong looked at her speechlessly and said, "If you want to learn yoga, you should find a proper teacher and learn from videos so you don't injure yourself."

He genuinely hopes that all his female friends will practice yoga.

After all, there are many benefits to practicing yoga.

It can enhance the body's flexibility and shape the body.

Of course, what Lin Qingsong values ​​most is that practicing yoga can help people improve their physical and mental health, reduce stress and anxiety, improve posture, and correct rounded shoulders and hunchbacks.

Flexibility and body shaping are secondary.

After hearing this, Tian Xiwei also felt that it was necessary to hire a teacher.

She realized that her practice, which involved watching videos, was not quite up to par, and she couldn't grasp what the teacher was saying in the videos.

"Old Lin, do you have any teachers you'd recommend?"

Tian Xiwei looked at Lin Qingsong curiously.

She actually started practicing yoga mainly because of the stimulation she received from Zhang Ruonan.

It's said online that men like girls who are innocent and pure.

Especially Zhang Ruonan, who has a pure and innocent look with a first-love face.

Tian Xiwei also knows that her personality is the complete opposite of that of the innocent and naive girl.

In online parlance, her personality is described as quirky and clever; in Hong Kong slang, she's a mischievous girl.

Besides her appearance, her status in the entertainment industry is also inferior to Zhang Ruonan's.

They've acted on the big screen, after all.

As for myself, I haven't even made it onto the small screen, let alone the big screen.

He's still working in the online drama industry.

In this situation, you need to give yourself some leverage.

We cannot afford to be careless in the slightest.

She didn't want to be that overlooked nobody anymore.

When yoga is mentioned, Lin Qingsong inexplicably thinks of Gu Wen, who has been practicing yoga for many years.

However, he also knew that practicing at home and teaching others were two different things.

Gu Wen may be very good at practicing yoga on her own, but she might not be able to teach it well.

However, on the other hand, if someone can teach her, that's better than Tian Xiwei having to find a teacher herself.

"Wait a minute, let me ask someone for you." As Lin Qingsong spoke, he took out his phone and sent a message to Gu Wen.

It's only a little past seven o'clock now, I don't know if Gu Wen is up yet.

After sending the message, he went to the refrigerator to get the milk and oatmeal he had prepared earlier.

He then turned to Tian Xiwei beside him and said, "Do you want some milk and cereal? If not, I'll order some takeout for you later."

"eat!"

Although Tian Xiwei really wanted to eat fried dough sticks, soy milk, and tofu pudding, she forced herself to resist the urge because of her figure.

While eating, he received a message from Gu Wen along with a selfie of herself practicing yoga in the mirror.

"I've found you a tutor. There's no charge, but the time isn't fixed. The location is fixed though—it's at her house. What do you think? Do you want to go?"

Gu Wen's reply was also very simple.

She worked as a yoga teacher for a while before, and she was indeed good at teaching, but the hours were definitely not very fixed.

After all, there's still one more store to visit.

At most, I can teach her when she gets off work in the evening, or when she exercises in the morning.

Let's forget about the money.

She doesn't rely on that for a living anymore.

As for taking selfies in front of the mirror, that was just something I did on a whim.

It's because Lin Qingsong always asks her to send a few selfies after each chat.

Gu Wen has almost made it a habit for this.

Every time we chat, I automatically send a photo.

"Sure," Tian Xiwei said casually, but asked curiously, "Old Lin, is this yoga instructor your friend?"

"Yes, she's my friend." After briefly explaining Gu Wen's situation, Lin Qingsong smiled and said, "I actually got to know her through Lao Yang. You can go see her with Lao Yang next time you have time."

"Old Yang," Tian Xiwei said curiously after taking a bite of oatmeal soaked in milk, "Does she have anything planned for today? I don't have anything else to do since you're at Balenciaga, so why don't we have her take me to see this Miss Gu?"

"You've really stumped me with that question." After sending a message to Gu Wen about Tian Xiwei's situation, Lin Qingsong sent another message to Yang Xiaoxiao.

Lately, he has been getting busier and busier. Apart from the trip to Tianlu with Yang Xiaoxiao last time, they have hardly met.

Not like before.

We could either slack off in the office and eat hot pot together, then leave early to get a massage to aid digestion.

Or they would slack off and play games together on set.

At the very least, during team building activities, you can go to a bar, have a few drinks, and play some games.

Thinking back to the days he and Yang Xiaoxiao spent slacking off, Lin Qingsong felt it was quite fun.

When he comes back this time, he'll definitely relive those days of slacking off.

Even though he's already the boss.

but.
This makes it even easier to slack off.

However, he received no reply to the message he sent to Yang Xiaoxiao until he finished breakfast and was about to leave.

He said helplessly to Tian Xiwei, "Why don't you go back and pack your things first? I reckon Lao Yang probably stayed up all night yesterday and is still sleeping at this hour."

This kind of situation is quite common in agent groups.

He used to do this all the time, sleeping until at least noon before getting up for lunch. It was only after the system was installed that his sleep schedule changed.
Oh no.

Only after he developed the sleep halo did his sleep schedule improve.
Ok?
Lin Qingsong thought about it for a moment and realized that even with the system and the sleep halo, his daily routine was still very unstable.

After the system was installed, he would go to bed at four or five o'clock or five or six o'clock.

With the sleep aura, he would stay up all night, only taking a two-hour break to replenish his energy.

Tian Xiwei didn't pay much attention, nodded, and went downstairs with Lin Qingsong.

After dropping her off at the apartment the company had helped rent, Lin Qingsong checked the time and realized it was almost nine o'clock before turning back to the company.

As for Qi Fei, I'll have to go there later.

Nine o'clock.

Hongji Building.

Shining on the international stage.

Upon entering the office, Lin Qingsong discovered that Yang Xiaoxiao was indeed not there.

"Good morning, Lao Niu." After greeting Niu Hao, he was about to head to Qi Nan's office when he heard Niu Hao ask curiously, "Lao Lin, what's going on today? Why are Ruhr and Qin Lu here too?"

"Is Qin Lu here too?" Lin Qingsong nodded slightly upon hearing the name, then smiled and said, "It's good news, but I'll keep it a secret for now. You'll find out in a few days."

"Good news?" Niu Hao became even more curious upon hearing this, but knowing the gravity of the situation, he didn't press further and simply smiled and said, "Alright, then I won't ask."

Looking at Yang Xiaoxiao's location, Lin Qingsong asked curiously, "Where's Lao Yang? Was she working the night shift yesterday?"

"Yeah, she went to the mountainside with the crew to film yesterday. She probably didn't get home until late at night." Niu Hao said with a bit of helplessness, "The mountainside is really too far from the city. Luckily, the crew always reimburses taxi fares, otherwise we wouldn't even earn enough to cover the taxi fares."

After chatting casually with Niu Hao for a few minutes, Lin Qingsong continued walking towards his office.

He knocked on the door, and soon footsteps came from inside. As the door opened, Ruhr's voice followed: "Brother!"

He seemed a bit excited, but overall there weren't any major problems.

Lin Qingsong nodded in satisfaction. "Good morning, Ruhr."

"Good morning!" After saying that, Ruhr suddenly remembered something and quickly stepped aside, saying, "Brother, I just talked to Seventh Brother and Qin Lu again, and we're planning to sign another twenty-year contract!"

Hearing his words, Qi Nan, sitting in his office chair, couldn't help but show a helpless expression and said, "Old Lin, you should persuade Ruhr. We're not some vampire company, where would we get a twenty-year contract?"

Qin Yan didn't say anything, but silently looked at Lin Qingsong.

She never expected that the person who had impersonated her boyfriend would have done so much in just one or two months.

They've started a national model studio and invested in a company.

Qi Nan even said that most of the company's fashion resources were brought in by Lin Qingsong.

I have no idea where this person got their amazing skills from.

Lin Qingsong ignored Qin Yan, who was observing him, and instead said helplessly to Ruhr, "Didn't I tell you before? The contract won't change. Why are you doing this again?"

He also knew that Ruhr meant well.

But the key point is that it's really unnecessary. Creating this contract is really like trying to catch everything at once.

The company is still in its growth phase, so it's best not to release too much negative news, otherwise the upward trend could be easily interrupted.

After repeating to Ruhr the significance of why he shouldn't let him sign the contract, Lin Qingsong continued to discuss the spokesperson matter with Qi Nan.

There's really nothing to discuss.

The main thing is to see what the people at Balenciaga say when he takes Ruhr there this afternoon.

The real topic of discussion now is how to promote the event afterward and maximize its impact.

After all, none of them had ever experienced a brand choosing a spokesperson.

But even if you've experienced it, it's actually not very useful.

After all, this time the brand took the initiative to contact you, so you didn't need to try to win anyone over.

If they are satisfied with the person after visiting, things might just be settled.

When discussing matters, Qin Yan would occasionally add a few words from a legal perspective.

"Seventh Brother, Balenciaga's status in the fashion industry goes without saying. Not to mention the brand itself, the resources of Kering Group alone are enough to make this endorsement deal far more valuable than other ordinary luxury contracts!"

Lin Qingsong then looked at Ruhr beside him and said, "So we can't just look at the compensation in the contract itself. The most important thing is to make Ruhr's value the greatest possible!"

“That’s right. If we make good use of it, not only can Ruhr quickly become a top-tier company, but it can also significantly improve the company’s standing in the industry!” Qi Nan nodded in agreement with Lin Qingsong’s point of view.

“Of course, we can use him, but since Ruhr has been chosen by Balenciaga, we can’t over-commercialize him, otherwise it will damage his potential luxury brand image.” Lin Qingsong said, getting up from his chair, walking to the blackboard next to the office, writing a few lines before turning to Qi Nan and saying:

"For the sake of balance, I think it is necessary to divide it into several stages."

"During the first phase of the official announcement period, we must create a sensation and set the tone for this endorsement."

"First, we must prepare a complete set of contingency plans before the official announcement, which includes several key points."

"Prepare exclusive materials in advance, including exclusive behind-the-scenes footage and stories, then release them on internet platforms and finally buy some trending topics."

Upon hearing Lin Qingsong's words, Qi Nan quickly added, "We can also contact some fashion media in advance. I can handle the Marie Claire side!"

“I can talk to the people at Harper’s Bazaar.” Lin Qingsong nodded in agreement, and then continued, “In addition to these, Brother Qi and I should also speak out in unison to emphasize the company’s vision, internal training system and support for models, and attribute part of this signing to the company.”

At this point, he looked to the side and said, "I hope you can understand this, Ruhr. After all, this won't cause you any loss. Only when the company is doing well will there be resources to continue your growth."

“Brother, that’s only right!” Ruhr nodded without hesitation and said with unwavering determination, “And I believe that if I really sign the contract, it shouldn’t be partly due to the company, but entirely due to the company!”

From the moment he heard the news, that's what he's always thought.

“Part of the credit goes to the company.” After Lin Qingsong finished speaking, he nodded to him and continued, “We also need to pay attention to getting interaction on social media, and at the same time, we can’t ignore those influential fashion bloggers, stylists and photographers. We can ask them to send messages to analyze the significance of this endorsement. I think they would be happy to ride this wave.”

Qin Yan then added from a professional perspective: "I think you should also pay attention to public opinion, keep a close eye on the feedback from the media and social media, and respond to opposing voices in a timely manner while amplifying positive voices."

"Law Qin is right!" Lin Qingsong nodded affirmatively, then pointed to another line of text on the blackboard and said:
"After the official announcement period ends, the contract execution period will begin. At that time, I think it is necessary to explore the value of this endorsement."

"In addition to sending people to track the relevant activities in the contract throughout, such as advertising shoots, runway shows, brand event attendance, and cooperation on social media, we should also be deeply involved in the brand's activities!"

"To be precise, we need to take the initiative and fully support Ruhr in participating in Balenciaga's fashion shows, press conferences, VIP events, charity projects, etc."

“Even if they don’t force us to participate, we should still participate in these activities as much as possible. After all, this can greatly increase Ruhr’s exposure, and at the same time, the company can use this opportunity to interact with the brand’s core circle.”

"With these exposures, the Ruhr is essentially endorsed by Balenciaga."

"At that time, all commercial prices in the Ruhr will have to be increased significantly."

"Furthermore, we will take advantage of this opportunity to make a strong push for the covers of top international and domestic magazines, thereby consolidating Ruhr's position in the fashion industry."

"At the same time, we also need to strive for cooperation with other first-tier luxury brands, top beauty brands, and jewelry and watch brands, including but not limited to endorsements, advertising, and filming of blockbusters."

At this point, Lin Qingsong paused, then looked at Qin Yan beside him and said:
"Of course, we'll have to trouble Attorney Qin to help us oversee the details of the contract, since this endorsement contract will definitely have many exclusivity clauses and image management requirements."

Qin Yan nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

Qi Nan looked at Lin Qingsong with a face full of surprise. She really didn't expect that Lin Qingsong could think of so much in just one day.

However, Lin Qingsong continued.

"Seventh Brother, the next development will be related to our company!"

"We must seize this opportunity to strengthen the company's brand!"

"We must use this successful case as core promotional material for the company as soon as possible."

"From the official website to brochures and then to the proposal presentations, we had to highlight that we had provided Balenciaga with a spokesperson!"

"In addition, Brother Qi, we should actively participate in industry summits and, in interviews, also share more about how to cultivate international-level models and our experience in collaborating with top brands."

Qi Nan asked instinctively, "How were they trained?"

Lin Qingsong glanced at Qi Nan and said speechlessly, "Seventh Brother, then we'll just have to make up our own stories."

He didn't know how he got there.

You can't exactly say you got it by chance, can you?

These days, everything is judged by results.

If you're truly amazing, people will believe you no matter how much you brag.

Qi Nan nodded awkwardly, and at that moment Lin Qingsong pointed to the remaining line of words on the blackboard and said:
"The long-term development of the third stage can only depend on luck."

"After all, whether or not a contract is renewed is not something that can be achieved simply by hard work."

"In short, we must make good use of this opportunity to overtake others. If we seize it, our company will definitely become a top-tier supermodel company in China!"

Seeing Lin Qingsong ahead, Qin Yan inexplicably felt that he was radiating light.
