Badges, Growth, Salary, Opportunities

I washed my hands carefully and sat back on the sofa.

Tang Song took a deep breath, selected the last combination, and clicked "Use".

"Whoosh—"

The [Enhancement Crystal] instantly transformed into four dazzling rays of light.

Wrap up the four items in the warehouse.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling progress bar appeared on the System Interface.

[0%...10%...90%...100%]

"Ding! You have obtained a special item [Badge - Learning God) ]."

The light gradually faded.

A dazzling golden light appeared in the warehouse.

A purple-gold badge appeared before my eyes, surrounded by twinkling starlight, making it look dazzling.

Tang Song quickly sat up straight, his eyes sparkling with surprise.

It's a badge!

And it even comes with a halo effect!

In the game, [Badges] are extremely rare items, and each one has a powerful special effect.

He had previously received the "Badge - Lucky Me" when he completed the second task of the plan during the company's early days.

It gave him a 24-hour Luck Buff.

Not only did it ensure the company's premiere went smoothly, but it also significantly improved the relationship with Wen Ruan.

He clenched his fist excitedly, focused his mind, and checked the item details.

[Badge - Learning God)]: After equipping the badge, players will trigger a tutorial quest and obtain the "Passive Skill - Special Vision". After completing the quest, a realistic school story dungeon will be unlocked. Under the "Influence of the Mask", players will conceal their true selves and their character will switch from "Songmei Clothing - President" to "Study God". Players will immerse themselves in the corresponding character and obtain multiple aura bonuses. The badge is valid for 15 days after being equipped.

(Hidden attribute: Luck +2)

(Learning Halo: You are full of desire and interest in learning, with +30 comprehension and +10 agility. You possess super strong focus, memory, understanding, and thinking skills. You have a photographic memory, are quick-witted, and Inspiration Burst. You love learning and exploration, and quickly master the knowledge you learn and integrate it into your understanding...)

(The Self-Discipline Halo: Maintaining a regular schedule, eating healthily, abstaining from sex, and increasing exercise... will continuously improve your physical condition and endurance.)

[Note 1: Please ensure you have sufficient free time before wearing the badge.]

[Note 2: Special NPCs, hidden shops, and quests exist within the instance.]

[Note 3:...]

After reading it carefully, Tang Song breathed a sigh of relief.

This was the prop with the most information he had ever seen.

The screen was covered with introductions and notes.

This badge was crafted perfectly, essentially encompassing all the characteristics of the four items.

All effects have been enhanced, and there is also a hidden attribute bonus of [Luck +2].

According to the notes below, once he wears the badge, he will enter a 15-day scenario instance.

They need to maintain the persona and routine of a "Study God," and most importantly, they even have to abstain from sex.

Of course, the results were also incredibly impressive.

The "photographic memory, quick wit, and Inspiration Burst" buffs alone are enough to make it worthwhile.

He can master English, quickly acquire knowledge of finance and economics, and learn even more.

In just over three months, he went from an ordinary person to Male God with a net worth of billions. He definitely needed a period of reflection and accumulation.

I believe that his overall quality will improve rapidly after these 15 days.

Not only will your charm rating increase, but you will also undergo a complete transformation.

However, now is certainly not a good time to wear it.

I took a quick shower and sat down at my desk.

Tang Song carefully organized his recent work plan.

The transfer of ownership of Lanfeng International Hotel will be completed soon. As the absolute controller, he will need to serve as the Executive Director and communicate with the hotel's senior management.

The due diligence on Fanfu Suzi Media has been completed, and he needs to be personally involved in the formal Investment Agreement.

In addition, [Second Stage Growth Plan Task ① Perfect Structure] is about to be completed, Songmei Clothing also has a lot of work to do.

As his business grew and he matured, he had more and more things to do.

Right now, he really needs a full-time secretary or assistant to help him arrange all his schedules.

It's a pity that Secretary Jin isn't here, otherwise she would have arranged all these things for me and reminded me what to do at the appointed time.

As for Xiao Xue?

Tang Song couldn't help but laugh and shake her head. She was still too inexperienced and didn't have any real skills.

Taking them out to show off and impress others is a piece of cake.

If a lot of work really came at her, she definitely wouldn't be able to handle it.

Let her develop in peace.

The next morning, after completing my daily self-discipline...

Tang Song crashed into the study.

The items worth 20 million in the store filled him with energy.

I imported the footage I shot with my Action camera yesterday into my computer and started editing the video.

It's clear that Cheng Qiuqiu has a great sense of aesthetics and is very good at composition; all the footage she shot was excellent.

It saved him a lot of time.

Determine the theme and rhythm, adjust the color scheme, select filters and background music...

The final cut is 30 seconds long, and the effect is fantastic.

Import the video into the Douyin app, fill in eye-catching captions and trending topics, and click publish.

After color correction and filter application, the BMW Double R, under the dim light of dusk, exudes a cool and profound aura.

The lines of the car body, interwoven with light and shadow, create a hazy, alluring visual effect.

He was wearing a "Summer Sweet Talk" outfit on the fuselage.

Although his face is obscured by the helmet, his striking presence and tall, handsome physique make him a perfect match for the BMW Double R.

Coupled with dynamic background music, the overall rhythm is brisk and smooth.

After watching it several times, Tang Song himself couldn't help but give it a thumbs up.

I had roast beef with the beautician at noon, and when I got home I went back to my study.

Before and after photos of the transformation, my weight loss and skincare journey, and the process of self-discipline...

Everything is now organized.

Open Little Red Book, create a new note, and upload photos.

The main image is still a comparison of the before and after modifications.

Before the makeover: Lack of exercise, high body fat percentage, loose and flabby skin, no figure, poor skin...

The latest photos show clearly defined muscles, six-pack abs, a well-proportioned and upright figure, confident and elegant posture, clean skin, broad shoulders, and a narrow waist...

The contrast and comparison between the two photos are striking.

[Title: Day 100 of Listening to Advice Transformation Has Ended!]

[Main Text: Weight loss, fitness, hairstyle, beauty, posture correction... After this period of comprehensive transformation, I have successfully achieved my goals. This series will now officially conclude, but I will continue to strive for self-improvement. Dear Cyber Strategists, thank you for your encouragement and suggestions over the past 100 days...]

Click Publish.

Tang Song let out a long sigh of relief, his gaze slightly unfocused.

I initially started posting to leverage the power of netizens to comprehensively enhance my physical appearance.

There's no need to continue now.

It is also a summary of the changes I have made in the past 100 days.

Each transformation record bears witness to his changes at each stage.

Although the changes are significant, they are still within a reasonable range.

Tang Song stood up from his chair and stretched.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the city's prosperity unfolds like a flowing painting.

Skyscrapers stand side by side, their silhouettes outlining the city skyline against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds.

Tang Song seemed to be moved by something, picked up his guitar, and used music to express his feelings.

Before going to bed at night.

Tang Song opened Little Red Book again.

Unsurprisingly, I saw 99+ unread messages.

Open the latest note.

Likes: 3699, Favorites: 584, Comments: 644

The data is explosive.

Open the comments section.

Seeing the most popular comment, Tang Song felt a pang of emotion.

[Momo: "Back in early April, I came across your first post asking for help, and I casually remarked, 'Even your mask can't hide your double chin.' Now, with big data pushing you back to me, I'm utterly shocked! A person can be born as insignificant as an ant and yet possess divine beauty! You are now Male God!"]

Scrolling down further, a familiar ID soon came into view.

[Yao Yao Ling: "Everyone, please be mindful of your comments. My boyfriend is rather introverted, and your comments will scare him!"]

Tang Song couldn't help but smile and left a comment below, "My dear girlfriend, it's time to sleep. You have to go to work tomorrow."

Soon, the lights in the bedroom went out.

Tang Song fell into a deep sleep amidst the even breathing sounds.

July 10, 2023, sunny turning cloudy, 28~40℃.

7:30 a. m.

A hearty breakfast was laid out on the table.

Xiaomi and pumpkin porridge, vegetarian steamed buns, fried eggs, and homemade cold dishes.

Sun Youguang pulled out a stool and called out to his girlfriend, who was studying, "Juan Er, come and eat quickly."

"You've worked so hard, darling." Li Juan went up and hugged her boyfriend, then couldn't help but kiss him on the cheek.

The relative humidity was over 70%, and they only turned on the fan; the weather was still stuffy and hot.

However, the atmosphere at the dinner table was very pleasant.

Today is the 10th, which is also the day they both get paid.

They've already saved 140,000 yuan in their secret stash, and once this paycheck is paid out, they'll have 150,000 yuan.

This is the goal they set for 2023 at the beginning of the year.

150,000 yuan can be used as a down payment for a house in their hometown.

To achieve this goal, they have always been very frugal; Sun Youguang used to even deliver food on weekends.

However, I need to prepare for the intermediate accounting professional title exam in September, and since my current job is very stable, I've decided to give it up for now.

And they achieved this goal in July.

I took the bus and then the subway, entered the Yunxi Building, and arrived at the 30th floor.

It was just 8:30 a. m., and the doors of Songmei Clothing were already open.

Entering the company gate.

A clear, crisp female voice rang out. "Good morning! Brother Sun."

"Good morning, Mo Mo," Sun Youguang replied with a smile.

It was Zhang Mo from the Live Streaming Operations Department, who happened to be walking over from the office area.

She is currently working in the K3 operations team, which is the same live streaming room where her former colleague He Liting works.

They were all hired at the same time.

He Liting is considered to have grown the best and fastest.

Now she has an independent operations team to serve her, not only in live streaming, but also in short videos and persona building.

According to the information Sun Youguang received, the goal is to create a brand new IP, making him arguably the most prominent colleague in the company at present.

"Good morning, Brother Sun!"

"Good morning."

Along the way, colleagues greeted him one by one.

People from all departments were at their workstations: administration, live streaming operations, marketing, product selection...

Sun Youguang's eyes were filled with emotion.

When there were fewer people in the company, I was always the first one to arrive.

There are so many people now.

If you include the warehousing and logistics department, there are about 80 people.

The monthly salary expense is a large sum of money.

Of course, Songmei Clothing's revenue is also very good now.

The main livestream room managed by Li Qingya and others has consistently maintained high popularity, and because of its high cost-effectiveness, it also has very loyal fans.

The newly recruited anchor, Zhao Weiwei, also performed very well. In the shoe and bag live stream she was in charge of, there were an average of more than 300 people watching each live stream.

Needless to say, He Liting's single-product live stream, with its professional team, Dou Jia, and Qian Chuan, has already surpassed the popularity of the main live stream.

Standing in the bright, clean, spacious, and cozy office area, I looked around.

As the company's First Position employee to be interviewed and hired, Sun Youguang was filled with excitement.

I feel that life is full of hope.

Enter the finance office.

After tidying up the office area and replacing the trash cans with clean trash bags, I got to work.

It was almost 9 o'clock.

Supervisor Zhang Chunling and cashier Wang Xin walked in one after the other.

Sun Youguang greeted everyone and continued with his daily accounting work.

The company's new organizational structure has been completed, with clearer division of functions and effective allocation of authority.

Taking the Finance Department as an example, there are currently 3 people in total.

Supervisor, cost accountant, cashier.

Everyone performed their duties in an orderly manner.

The organizational efficiency and response speed of other departments have been greatly improved.

Thinking about this, Sun Youguang couldn't help but admire the abilities of the two bosses.

The company's smooth development is largely thanks to this new organizational structure.

10:00 AM.

A DingTalk message suddenly popped up on my computer screen.

[HR Director Yu Qiuguo: "You Guang, come to the HR office."]

Sun Youguang quickly replied "Received," stood up from his seat, and strode out.

The HR director was a little apprehensive about talking directly to this junior employee.

"Knock knock knock—"

"Please come in."

"President Yu." Sun Youguang looked at Yu Qiuguo in front of him with some nervousness.

She was 35 or 36 years old, with faint wrinkles on her face, a very thin figure, and bright eyes.

She acts decisively and has a very refined demeanor.

It is said that he was a top talent poached by Bocai Yingrui from the largest e-commerce company in Yancheng.

"Have a seat." Yu Qiuguo pulled up a chair and placed it next to her, then handed over two contracts, smiling, "Your performance has been outstanding. President Gao highly approves of you and specifically mentioned it to me during last week's meeting. This is your contract for becoming a permanent employee. Sign it; you'll be officially a permanent employee starting in July."

Sun Youguang was taken aback for a moment, then his face lit up with joy. "Thank you, President Yu. Thank you, President Gao."

He had only been employed for a little over two months; the company's policy was a three-month probationary period.

Being promoted to a permanent position ahead of schedule signifies the company's recognition of him and also represents a more stable job.

Open the contract for formal employment.

Position: Accountant, 3-year contract.

Basic salary: 5500 yuan/month; performance bonus: 1500 yuan/month.

Sun Youguang looked up in surprise and blurted out, "President Yu, this... how come I got an extra performance-based bonus?"

Yu Qiuguo smiled and said, "Our company's functional departments will also have performance appraisals after they are promoted to permanent positions. Since it is an appraisal, there will naturally be bonuses, but the amounts will vary. Yours was specially arranged by President Gao."

"Oh, thank you, boss! Thank you, company!" Sun Youguang's face flushed with excitement.

After signing and pressing your fingerprint, you receive a formal employment contract and become a full-time employee of the company.

Sun Youguang walked back to his workstation with light steps, his heart pounding and his body trembling slightly.

Songmei Clothing offers excellent benefits, including full Five Insurances and One Fund, as well as phone and meal allowances.

If you really calculate it, his current actual salary is about 7,400 yuan per month.

In the overall Yancheng finance job market, this salary is already enough for a managerial position in a small company.

After all, the competition is just too fierce now.

Sun Youguang took a deep breath and mustered his courage to send a message to the vice president. "Thank you for your recognition, President Gao!"

"Ding-dong—"

[Vice President Gao Mengting: "Keep up the good work and strive to become an intermediate accountant as soon as possible. Our Finance Department will continue to expand, and maybe you'll be promoted to supervisor in the future. (#smileyface)"]

Upon seeing President Gao's reply, tears of emotion welled up in Sun Youguang's eyes.

In the beginning, everyone worked in the same office area and got along very well.

He even chatted with Mr. Tang and President Gao frequently, which he now considers a great honor.

He had mentioned once before that he was going to take the intermediate accountant exam in September, and I didn't expect that President Gao would still remember it.

"Buzz buzz buzz—" The Mobile Phone in my pocket vibrated.

"[China Merchants Bank] Your account ending in 5411 received Renminbi 4584.30 on July 10th at 10:19."

My salary has arrived!

Sun Youguang lowered his head and remained silent for a while before opening WeChat and clicking on his girlfriend's chat box.

First, he talked about how he had been promoted to a permanent position and received a raise.

Then she left another message: "Juan Er, let's discuss it later and see if it's possible to buy a house in Yancheng."

My girlfriend is 26 this year, and we should get married in the next year or two.

Countless times, Sun Youguang saw in his girlfriend's eyes the longing and yearning for the house here.

Moreover, housing prices have dropped considerably now, so if they all pass the intermediate accountant exam in September...

With the thriving platform of Songmei Clothing and leaders who value her so much.

Perhaps they really might leave the small county town and settle down in Yancheng.

Choosing to join Songmei Clothing was definitely the best decision I've ever made!

Sun Youguang, his face glowing, picked up his water cup and headed towards the tea room.

Just as I was about to make myself a cup of instant coffee, I heard a familiar voice from the side. "Brother Sun, you want some coffee? I'll make you a cup; instant coffee doesn't taste good."

"Then Lili... uh, no, thank you, Yi Yi." Sun Youguang looked at He Liting as she walked in and scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

After the company expanded, he had fewer opportunities to meet with He Liting and the others, and they hadn't gotten used to how they addressed each other.

He Liting covered her mouth and chuckled, "Alright, Brother Sun, let's not stand on ceremony between us."

"Okay, okay, alright!" Sun Youguang quickly placed the water cup in front of the coffee machine.

Looking at He Liting skillfully operating the coffee machine, I was filled with emotion.

Since I started my own live streaming room.

This female colleague has become increasingly outstanding, and she is very different from how she was just over two months ago.

Standing at 165cm, He Liting already possesses a tall and well-proportioned figure. Coupled with the carefully coordinated outfits from her team, she appears to have a slim waist, long legs, and beautiful curves.

Moreover, her gentle and beautiful features, enhanced by makeup, make her look sweet and warm, very appealing.

No wonder it was chosen by Mr. Tang to be incubated as an "IP"; its future will definitely exceed expectations.

"Here you go, Brother Sun." He Liting put down the cup. "This is a latte with milk in it. It has a mild taste. Mr. Tang often drinks this one."

Then she picked up a blue mug next to her and started operating it.

"Thank you, I'll go back to work now."

"Bye-Bye."

Soon, another steaming hot latte was ready.

He Liting carefully made a latte art, then carried the cup toward the President's Office.

"Knock knock knock—"

"Come in." The magnetic male voice made her heart race.

Pushing open the office door, He Liting immediately saw Mr. Tang sitting behind his desk.

"Mr. Tang, here's some coffee for you."

"Oh? Thank you, Yi Yi." Tang Song smiled and reached out to take it. "You're quite a popular anchor now, there's no need for you to make me coffee yourself."

He Liting blushed as her fingers touched each other.

Standing next to Tang Song, he said softly, "The weekly account operation report was just sent to your email. I came here to report it to you in person."

"Please sit on the sofa, let's talk."

He Liting pursed her moist lips and said Tian Tian, "It's okay, I've been sitting for over an hour, I just wanted to stand for a while."

As she spoke, her gaze looked down at Tang Song from the side and above, her legs pressed tightly together.

He has a straight nose and thin lips, and is fresh and handsome.

The clearly defined muscle lines were visible beneath the slightly open collar.

What a satisfying girlfriend's perspective!

This is a rare opportunity, don't miss it!

Tang Song took a small sip of coffee, put down his mug, and leaned back in his office chair, turning 90 degrees.

Looking directly at her, Wei Xiao and said, "Alright then, it's worth mentioning that your outfit today is very beautiful."

A purple, fitted lace maxi dress, gentle and elegant, showing off her smooth, long, and Bai Jing legs.

He Liting must have exceptional qualities to be chosen by him to develop into an IP.

Putting everything else aside, her legs do resemble Qianqian's somewhat; they're both the wine glass leg type, only a bit thinner.

Noticing Tang Song's gaze, He Liting shifted slightly and said, "We gained 13,000 new followers last week... The video themes are outfit showcases and sharing, and product reviews, and the most effective one is..."

As He Liting introduced the situation, Tang Song's face showed a thoughtful expression.

Overall, the speed of development is quite impressive among live-streaming e-commerce hosts.

However, it's still not quite there yet if you want to develop it into an IP.

Either it relies on the accumulation of time and reputation, or there needs to be a viral moment that allows the "He Yiyi" account to spread its popularity rapidly.

Because it involves the [Second Stage Growth Plan Task], Tang Song naturally didn't want to wait too long.

If all else fails, just keep throwing money at it, partner with Guangying Media, and forcefully promote it.

However, the success of an IP often has an element of chance.

The success rate is hard to say.

If you could succeed simply by throwing money at it, then capital would definitely be used to incubate a large number of such businesses.

There won't be so many situations where both influencers and companies suffer losses.

"Mr. Tang, I've finished my report." He Liting shut her mouth, secretly admiring Tang Song's good looks.

Tang Song raised his head, about to speak.

With a "whoosh," the System Light Screen unfolded in front of him, and lines of text jumped out.

On July 10, 2023, after a period of hard work, you designed and improved the new organizational structure based on the company's goals and strategies, adjusted department settings, optimized functional divisions, and redistributed authority... Songmei Clothing has achieved tremendous growth and progress, sufficient to support the company's future core business and strategic development.

You have completed task 1 of the plan: Perfect Structure.

You have unlocked the achievement "Company Expander"

You have obtained the special item "Enterprise Opportunity Card".

[Enterprise Opportunity Card]: After use, Songmei Clothing will receive a special opportunity event to help the company develop faster.

[Note 1: A full-time employee must be selected as the event triggerer.]

[Note 2: The triggering of the opportunity event is reasonable and requires a certain amount of waiting time.]

Tang Song was beaming, a bright and handsome smile on his face. He stood up and gently patted her shoulder. "Yi Yi, you did a great job. Keep it up!"

It seems like an opportunity to Build IP has arrived!

"Thank you for your recognition, Mr. Tang." He Liting trembled and quickly lowered her head, her face flushed and hot.

Godfather, are you casting a spell on me?! Who can resist that?!

Upon entering the System Warehouse, a card flashing red light was quietly placed there.

Tang Song leaned back on the edge of his desk.

Select the "Enterprise Opportunity Card" to use it immediately.

The light screen swirled, and portraits of five employees appeared on the interface; all of them had signed formal contracts.

The following is a simple information annotation.

Vice President - Gao Mengting, sense of belonging to the company: 100;

Host - He Liting, sense of belonging to the company: 99;

Cost Accountant - Sun Youguang, Sense of Belonging to the Company: 99;

Operations Manager - Liu Renjie, Sense of Company Affiliation: 75;

Host - Li Qingya, sense of belonging to the company: 70;

[Note: Those with a sense of belonging exceeding 50 can use the "Enterprise Opportunity Card"]
