She swallowed hard, trying to keep her tone as formal as possible.
"It's like this, regarding the new product series we collaborated on last time, I wonder if Mr. Su is satisfied?"
There was a moment of silence on Su Mo's end, then she spoke slowly and clearly.
"I am very satisfied."
"Mr. Su, would it be convenient for you to update a few photos online? Anything is fine, as long as there are clothes in the photos..." Jiang Jianhuan's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, her confidence completely gone.
Regardless of their relationship, the vast difference in their current status makes her feel even more ashamed.
"Okay." Incredibly, a light and clear reply came to Jiang Jianhuan's ears, yet it was an undeniable affirmation. Jiang Jianhuan almost wondered if he was hallucinating.
"Oh... thank you, Mr. Su."
That evening, Su Mo updated a photo on her personal Weibo account.
He was leaning slightly to the side, facing the wall, still wearing his baseball cap and large glasses, a long trench coat, a sweater, and cropped trousers, with his well-defined ankles showing through the rolled-up cuffs.
The entire photo was set in a gray-black tone, giving it a cool and sophisticated feel.
The caption was a simple English number.

As soon as the post was published, his fans flooded the comments section with messages, and the number of comments exceeded a thousand at a visible speed.
[OMG, the zombie blogger has come back to life!]
I never thought I'd see my brother post his own private photos again. I'm so excited!
[Hey, did anyone notice that Su Mo is wearing a new collaboration with iro?]
My boyfriend is so handsome, hehe.
Get out of my way, that's my husband!
【The clothes are so pretty!!! They look a hundred times better on than in the pictures!!! Okay, I'm ordering now :)】
Jiang Jianhuan scrolled through the comments, feeling both anxious and grateful to Su Mo.
The mission is finally complete; I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight.
She thought this was the limit of Su Mo's patience, but she didn't expect that this was just the beginning.
The next day at the same time, he updated his Weibo again with a photo of another outfit.
Caption.

For five consecutive days, Su Mo posted a Weibo post on time.
It was him, wearing clothes from the iro series, just a simple photo with English letters and numbers, from one to five, exactly completing the update of five new outfits.
Netizens were in an uproar, seeing Su Mo with such professional ethics and a cooperative spirit for the first time. Even his advertising was unexpected and surprising. People were even jokingly speculating in the comments how much money iro paid him for this collaboration.
It's worth noting that Su Mo has never accepted any advertisements since her debut, let alone posted any photos of herself. Her Weibo is completely clean except for her new songs.
Other celebrities regularly update their Weibo accounts with recent photos and interact with fans, and posting two or three advertisements every month is routine. However, Su Mo's fans have been waiting for him to post an update every month, as if they are following a fake account.
iro's new collection is already sold out. Because it's a limited release and will not be produced again, the price of this series of clothing online has doubled, with everyone buying it because they want to see Su Mo wearing the same style.
Jiang Yuan was very satisfied with the result, but every time she looked at Jiang Jianhuan, she felt a little uneasy, as if he saw through everything and left her nowhere to hide.
At Monday's routine meeting, Jiang Yuan officially announced that Jiang Jianhuan would be transferred from the position of assistant to designer, and would begin handing over her work next week. At the same time, her salary would also increase.
After the meeting ended, Jiang Jianhuan finished dealing with the congratulations from her other colleagues, stared blankly at the computer for a while, and finally remembered something.
Logically, she should have thanked Su Mo, but...
Forget it, it's better to avoid trouble.
Jiang Jianhuan was busy without a break until noon. Just after finishing lunch, she saw a message from Li Sa.
[Ms. Jiang, I heard you got promoted! That's great!]
"How did you know?" Jiang Jianhuan raised her eyebrows in surprise.
[Your director called us this morning, thanked us, talked about working together again, and mentioned you at the end, saying you're an exceptionally good worker^^]
Li Sa joined Su Mo Company right after graduation. In front of outsiders, he appeared professional and serious, but once you got to know him, he was like a big boy, often sending cute emojis and acting adorable.
Jiang Jianhuan couldn't help but laugh.
[Thanks to you] She drove off with a half-joking smile.
"No, no, it should be thanks to Su Mo. Miss Jiang, aren't you going to treat us to a meal now that you've been promoted?"
Jiang Jianhuan's smile froze. She composed herself and cautiously typed a reply.
"Will you come? Of course, no problem."
"Ah, of course we'll treat our boss! Miss Jiang, you...don't want to?"
Jiang Jianhuan could sense Li Sa's probing between the lines, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was Li Sa's own initiative or Su Mo's instruction.
She shook her head, trying to clear her mind of those distracting thoughts.
"Of course I have no problem with that, but Su Mo is so busy, it probably wouldn't be convenient for her."
Li Sa replied very quickly.
The boss will be available tomorrow afternoon. I'll schedule the time and place and send it to your phone later. Okay, that's settled then.
