Before, it was always Zhang Jingdong who was doing the teaching, but this time it turned out to be Liang Feng giving him a lesson or two.
However, Zhang Jingdong actually felt a different kind of joy.
At this moment, Liang Feng’s hands were circled around his head: "What are you thinking about?"
Zhang Jingdong responded smoothly: "I was just a bit taken aback by you!"
"Taken aback by what?"
"Of course, it was by our Miss Liang’s teaching prowess that surprised me!"
Liang Feng immediately shot him a look: "Hmph... you ask someone to teach, and now you make fun of me, I can’t be bothered with you!"
Saying so, she was about to get up.
Zhang Jingdong quickly caught her hand: "How could I possibly be making fun of you? I’m clearly praising you!"
"Without a word of a lie, I used to teach others, and never before has someone taught me in such a way, I’ve truly learned a lot!"
Liang Feng immediately became a bit curious and somewhat expectant: "Really? I’m really the first to teach you?"
Zhang Jingdong stretched out three fingers solemnly: "I swear!"
Liang Feng smirked with satisfaction: "Well... that’s more like it!"
"Alright, seeing as you’re so good with words and put so much effort into preparing a gift for the teacher, I might be inclined to give you a couple more lessons in the future."
Zhang Jingdong immediately raised his hand like a student: "Then teacher, could I make a small request?"
"I just agreed to you, and now you’re making demands, alright, let’s hear it?"
"If it’s reasonable, I might consider it, but if it’s too much, I’ll not only refuse, but you’ll also earn yourself two knocks on the head, so you better think carefully before you speak!"
Zhang Jingdong immediately said: "For the next lesson, I’d like to learn some Qing Dynasty etiquette, so could you wear a cheongsam for the next class?"
"You... wishful thinking! How can you as a student make such a demand of a teacher!?"
Zhang Jingdong solemnly said: "First of all, do you admit that I revealed a brand-new lifestyle to you today, helping you relieve the fatigue of these past few days, so you must acknowledge this, right?"
"Secondly, as an exchange, I’ll also prepare a surprise for you, how about that?"
Liang Feng hesitated for a moment, then blinked her beautiful eyes: "...Alright, I’ll consider it."
Seeing her interest piqued, Zhang Jingdong tried: "When the time comes, I’ll prepare the cheongsam for you."
Liang Feng paused again, then said: "...Don’t you dare go too far!"
Zhang Jingdong immediately snapped his fingers: "Understood!"
The two chatted for a bit longer, then tidied up and Liang Feng left the room first. Ten or so minutes later, Zhang Jingdong also left the room.
Half an hour later, Zhang Jingdong arrived at the clothing design company.
At this point, the goods just pulled from Liang Feng’s factory had all been unloaded and placed in the storeroom, with Lin Xirui personally leading Zhao Ziqiu and the others in counting and categorizing them.
Upon seeing the big boss Zhang Jingdong arrive, their faces lit up with excitement.
"Welcome back, boss!"
Lin Xirui, uncommonly uninhibited by the presence of her roommates, happily came over and hugged Zhang Jingdong.
And Zhao Ziqiu, also uncommonly disregarding Lin Xirui and other roommates, had fiery eyes.
Zhang Jingdong, with an arm around Lin Xirui’s fragrant shoulder, asked everyone: "How much longer do you need?"
"Half an hour at most!"
"Alright, after you finish counting, come up to the office for a short meeting. President Lin and I need to discuss something first!"
Li Nian and the others immediately showed knowing smiles.
"Sure boss, you guys have a good talk, no rush!"
Hearing this, Lin Xirui suddenly leaned on Zhang Jingdong’s shoulder with a shy face.
Zhang Jingdong laughed, gave Zhao Ziqiu a look, then left with Lin Xirui.
Arriving at the upstairs office, just as Zhang Jingdong was about to speak to Lin Xirui, she suddenly kissed him.
His heart stirred, and he returned her kiss with a passionate and meaningful one.
Eventually, Zhang Jingdong got a bit carried away, and Lin Xirui, instead of retreating, seemed rather encouraging.
Zhang Jingdong immediately said: "Looks like you’ve made up your mind, haven’t you?"
Lin Xirui, both shy and serious, replied: "I don’t know why, but when you were in Jiangdu, I could handle being apart a week at a time."
"But this time, knowing you left Jiangdu, from the very first day I’ve missed you terribly, thinking about you all the time."
"Then I realized, I’m beyond help, and you’re my only cure."
At this moment, Zhang Jingdong glanced at the time, smiling and shaking his head: "Unfortunately, there’s less than ten minutes left, and with my ability, it’s just not enough. How about this, tonight I’ll come to your place."
Lin Xirui paused briefly, then nodded: "...Yeah."
They cuddled a while longer, then proceeded to the main office.
By then, Li Nian and the others had arrived.
Zhang Jingdong got straight to the point: "You’ve all just checked the inventory, so you know how much stock we’ve got and how much effort we need to put into sales."
"First, let me ask, how well do you understand the Taobao e-commerce side of things?"
Zhao Ziqiu then leaned forward and pushed her computer toward Zhang Jingdong: "Here’s everything we’ve prepared for Taobao e-commerce, you can take a look."
Zhang Jingdong quickly reviewed it, then said: "Hmm, not bad, although some aspects still need to be improved, the overall operational approach is correct."
"Next, get mentally prepared, I’ll assign each of you different tasks."
"The company will continue to hire new people, and you’ll need to train them. Today you’re my soldiers, but in the future, you’ll have to play the same role I do in front of them."
