Yunxi Building, Songmei Clothing.

In the spacious and bright conference room sat the heads and senior executives of various departments of Songmei Clothing.

They were either sitting upright or deep in thought, and the whole room was filled with an atmosphere of excitement and focus.

Tang Song stood in front of the large screen and spoke eloquently, his voice steady and powerful, his gaze sharp and full of confidence.

Just then, a crisp System Prompt Sound sounded in my ear.

"Ding! Congratulations, player! The first task of the [Partner - Wen Ruan] Cultivation Plan Mission, [Contact with New Circles], has been completed."

"[Partner - Wen Ruan] Growth Progress +10%".

"[Partner - Wen Ruan] has been granted [Assistant Team (5 people)]."

Tang Song paused, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

The Wen Ruan task ① is finally complete!

However, now is not the time to check.

Tang Song quickly composed himself and continued:

"Our 64% return rate is actually a pretty good result for women's clothing, but there is still a lot of room for improvement."

In addition to strengthening quality control, we also need to try to optimize operations.

First, the product selection department should strengthen market research to gain a deeper understanding of the needs, preferences, and fashion trends of the target customer group...

High return rates are a common and critical issue in the women's apparel industry.

A major promotional event can typically achieve a 70% to 80% discount.

Besides issues with product quality and style, it's also because returns are extremely convenient now, and there's even shipping insurance.

Many women often buy one of the same dress in different sizes and colors, choosing the ones they want to keep.

Moreover, women's spending habits are inherently irrational.

In addition, many live-streaming e-commerce hosts use various techniques to pressure customers into making Impulse Spending.

In this regard, Songmei Clothing has chosen a very good approach.

He Yiyi's gentle narrative style, introducing products in a casual, friendly tone, makes it easier to gain genuine, high-quality fans, and the return rate can be kept below 50%.

The high return rate is due to the sudden appearance of Bei Weiwei, which brought a huge influx of traffic.

In his "Study God" state, Tang Song had already developed a complete optimization strategy.

For example, "establishing a trial sales mechanism," "launching an inventory management system," and "collecting customer feedback in a timely manner"...

This is the benefit of having a team.

All of Songmei Clothing's nearly 90 employees will follow his will.

The meeting officially ended at 5 p. m.

Tang Song picked up his laptop and walked out of the conference room chatting and laughing with Gao Mengting and the others.

Along the way, colleagues cast admiring glances at him.

Both company owners are 25-year-old young people, handsome and beautiful, with outstanding temperament.

Especially Mr. Tang, who was radiant and full of vigor.

Although he doesn't spend a lot of time at the company, every employee who comes into contact with him, regardless of gender, can feel his charm.

Excellent communication skills, clear vision, decisive decision-making, and very approachable and empathetic...

Many employees admire this Big Boss.

"Then please order me a pork rib rice dish, and any drink is fine."

Zhang Ying, a personnel officer from the Tang Song, waved and stepped into the President's Office.

"Squeak—" He plopped down in the boss's chair.

Upon opening the System Interface, first view the reward details.

[Assistant Team (5 people)]: Trained and provided by Tang Zong Entertainment, including (professional talents in daily life, human resources, strategic planning, operations, etc.). They are ready and "Partner - Wen Ruan" can contact "Mo Xiangwan" to pick them up.

As far as he knew, Wen Ruan now had a assistant, Zhang Xintong, whom he had met many times before.

However, it is obvious that the five assistants provided by the system are a perfect team in all aspects, which can free her from complicated work.

After all, she's his Partner. Even if he has to work, he can't really do everything himself.

Enjoy what you deserve.

Enter the [Partner] module and click on the older sister's character card.

Partner: Wen Ruan (29 years old)

[Role: Director of Xingyun International Group]

Height: 171 cm, Weight: 66 kg

[Constitution: 75, Endurance: 76, Agility: 71, Comprehension: 81]

[Growth Progress: 55%]

[②Build a team]

[Task Description: "Partner, "Wen Ruan now a board member of Stardust International Group Co., Ltd. and president of Guangying Media, is brimming with confidence and ambition. However, facing upcoming work and challenges, she needs her own team. Please send "Partner"Wen Ruan to Tang Zong Entertainment headquarters to take over the Assistant Team, receive short-term management training, and successfully build her own team.]

[Mission Reward: 10% Growth Progress, Constitution +2, Agility +2, Skill Pack *1]

[Mission Progress: Incomplete]

[Note: Amidst a busy work schedule, you also need comfort from your Partner. Please take care of your emotional well-being.]

After reviewing the new training tasks, Tang Song raised his eyebrows slightly.

They realized a crucial issue: Wen Ruan needed to contact Su Yu!

Although in reality his relationship with Su Yu was limited to kissing, in Su Yu's mind, he was her lover.

If her older sister came over and said that Su Yu was bullying her, then she really wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Thinking about the scene of their meeting, Tang Song blinked a little guiltily.

I'll wait until my older sister finishes her business in the Imperial Capital and comes back before I can have a proper talk with her.

Fortunately, he is now extremely powerful. Yesterday, he 1v2 completely crushed the beautician and the Fake Socialite.

A 30-year-old woman is at the peak of her desire for sex.

If Wen Ruan gets injured, I'll comfort her by playing ball with her to make her happy.

While he was deep in thought.

A knocking sound rang out on the door.

He Yiyi's voice rang out from outside the door. "Mr. Tang."

"Please come in." Tang Song closed the System Interface and sat up straight.

Immediately afterwards, the office door was gently pushed open.

He Yiyi stepped in.

The white short-sleeved top was soft, close-fitting, and comfortable, showing off her great figure.

Light blue denim shorts, slightly frayed at the edges, casual and natural.

She was wearing a pair of black and white sneakers.

After becoming a top livestreamer, the company specially arranged an image consultant for her.

From makeup and styling to clothing, everything was given a complete makeover.

In addition, there's the surge of self-confidence that comes with instant fame.

She looks both energetic and stylish.

"Please sit down, Yi Yi." Tang Song stood up and sat down with her on the sofa in the reception area.

After looking you up and down, he sincerely praised you, "You've become more beautiful, and I've also seen your live stream. You've developed your own style and are now a big Internet Celebrity. That's amazing!"

He Yiyi's face flushed slightly. "I was just following your instructions. I was just lucky to run into Bei Weiwei."

She knew some of the real situation about Tang Song; he was just an Internet Celebrity with a million followers, so she wouldn't dare to get arrogant.

However, as her career took off, she became increasingly important to the company, which indirectly increased her importance in Mr. Tang's eyes.

This is what makes her happiest.

Tang Song leaned back in his soft chair, Pondered for a moment, and said, "I've discussed it with President Gao, and we've decided to give you a 5% Equity Incentive. The company's total share capital is 1 million, and it will be traded at 10 yuan per share."

After all, it's a live-streaming e-commerce company. Given Songmei Clothing's current profitability, a valuation of 10 million is actually extremely low.

It was mainly to motivate He Yiyi.

Douyin's traffic mechanism is more "people-friendly," and live streams with a unique personal style are more likely to attract viewers.

Moreover, Tang Song's "Growth Plan Task" is deeply tied to Songmei Clothing, and he needs such a major IP that will never betray him.

Besides her kinship with Zhao Yachian, appropriate rewards are also essential.

He Yiyi's eyes widened instantly. She stood up excitedly and bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Tang! Thank you, President Gao! Thank you for the company's recognition!"

The long-awaited goal is about to be achieved.

A graduate of a regular vocational college, she started as a receptionist, struggled to transition into a live-streaming assistant, and has now become a company shareholder and a top streamer with nearly 2 million followers.

Her feelings were truly indescribable.

"No need to be so polite, you deserve it all." Tang Song chuckled and shook his head, encouragingly saying, "This 5% equity was transferred to you from President Gao, and I'll cover the 500,000 yuan you need. Yi Yi, keep up the good work! I've said from the beginning that I admire you and trust you very much."

Upon hearing Tang Song's words, He Yiyi filled with tears.

She's only been famous for a few days, and she's still a struggling working-class person with less than 50,000 yuan in savings.

For her, 500,000 from the Tang Song dynasties was a very large number.

Looking at the young and handsome CEO in front of her, she felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude and admiration.

Godfather above! Please accept Yi Yi bows!

He Yiyi licked her lips, mustered her courage, stepped forward and hugged Tang Song, her excited body trembling slightly.

"Thank you, Mr. Tang! You're so kind to me! I will definitely not let you down!"

Feeling Tang Song's robust physique and his fresh, pleasant scent, He Yiyi felt as if she were floating on air.

It's only because she's now a big Internet Celebrity that she wouldn't dare to take advantage of Tang Song like this.

Sitting on the sofa, Tang Song looked at He Yiyi, who was clinging to him, and felt a strange sensation in his heart.

A moment later.

He patted He Yiyi's ample thigh and laughed, "Alright, go ahead and get busy. The legal department is already working on the Equity Incentive agreement; you just need to sign it later. As for the equity transfer registration, you and President Gao can discuss it."

"Ah!" He Yiyi cried out softly as she felt Tang Song patting her, and quickly let go of Tang Song. "Okay, okay."

Turning around, I was still recalling Tang Song's patting movements from just now.

Her face was red and hot, and she became unnatural when walking.

I quietly closed the door and jogged towards the bathroom.

After watching He Yiyi leave, Tang Song returned to his desk.

"Buzz buzz buzz—" The Mobile Phone on the table vibrated.

[Lanfeng International - Yu Qiuna: "Mr. Tang, the team information for the Sales Department has been compiled and sent to your email."]

Tang Song opened Foxmail on his computer and replied, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. I'll come to Lanfeng International in a couple of days to have a good chat with you."

After sending the message, I opened the Email attachment and began to read it carefully.

The Branch Mission "Qualified Leader" is very important to him, since it rewards him with "Charm +1".

Although he now has a detailed understanding of Lanfeng International's hotel business and operations, he is still unfamiliar with the internal management team.

Yu Qiuna, as Sales Department employee, is a perfect starting point.

This former BMW salesman is very shrewd and has been very proactive lately.

It's clear she really wants to improve!

In addition, he also needs to monitor the finances and uncover internal problems within the company.

However, there is no suitable candidate at the moment, but we can keep an eye out for them later.

6 p. m.

"Knock knock knock—" The knocking sounded again.

"Mr. Tang, your dinner has arrived. I'll take it inside for you."

"OK, thanks."

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ying from HR walked in quickly and placed a beautifully packaged meal on the coffee table in the Rest Area.

"Please enjoy your meal, Mr. Tang. Bye-bye." Zhang Ying smiled playfully, bowed, and walked out of the office.

Open the insulated packaging bag and take out the contents Yi Yi.

In addition to the pork ribs and rice, there was also a 300ml bottle of Xiao Qing juice.

Tang Song stared blankly for a moment, then picked up his Mobile Phone, took a picture of the Qing Ning juice, and shared it with his White Moonlight.

I unscrewed the bottle cap and took a few sips, "glug glug—".

The strong sour taste stimulates the taste buds, giving a refreshing and pleasant sensation.

Then comes a faint sweetness and a slight astringency.

It perfectly mirrored his innocent and pure youth.

"Ding-dong—" Her reply came as quickly as ever.

[Qing Ning: "What's wrong? Seeing the Xiao Qing juice reminded you of me?"]

Tang Song thought for a moment and replied directly, "Yes, I miss you."

The message was sent out, which was obviously unexpected by White Moonlight.

The message came quite a while later.

[Qing Ning: "Hmph, I'm so cute, it's only natural that you miss me. I'll allow you to think about me more often in the future."]

[Qing Ning: You're good at knowing what's good for you. jpg]

Looking at the familiar emojis below, Tang Song smiled.

Back in college, he made a set of emojis using Liu Qingning's photos and often used them to tease her during chats.

However, because the emojis were all very well made, they later became her exclusive emojis.

Looking at the photo of Liu Qingning when she first entered university, Tang Song replied, "She is indeed very cute. I haven't seen your photo in a long time. I almost forgot what you look like now. Can you send me one?"

[Qing Ning: Photo. jpg]

Tang Song: "You're trying to fool me again! This is clearly a photo from your freshman year!"

[Qing Ning: "I'll always be 18! All you need to know is what I look like!"]

The reason why Century Zhixue, where Liu Qingning works, moved to Shencheng was not only because the industries there are more complete, but also because it received a large software cooperation fee.

As the technical partner, Liu Qingning is mainly responsible for software development.

After that, I was working overtime every night and was in a very bad state, so I never video chatted with him or let him see photos.

Tang Song were already familiar with these things.

Tang Song and Liu Qingning bickered while Tang Song ate their meal.

At the end of the chat, Liu Qingning sent a voice message.

Click to play.

A fresh and lovely voice rang out. "Take good care of yourself in Yancheng. I have some very important things to take care of recently. I'll come to Yancheng to see you after I've finished. Also, you said you successfully lost weight and became more handsome. I'm really looking forward to it! Don't slack off! Keep it up! I didn't say anything before because you were too busy with work in Imperial Capital, but now that you're back in Yancheng, you must get back to your college self! If you can get abs, I'll give you a big reward when we meet."

After hearing this, Tang Song chuckled softly.

His physique is even better now than it was in high school; he almost has eight-pack abs.

If the White Moonlight could see herself now, she would definitely be astonished and speechless.

After putting down his chopsticks and taking Xiao Qing juice, Tang Song opened the photo Liu Qingning had posted and was slightly lost in thought.

At 18, she was youthful, energetic, and had clear, bright eyes that seemed to hold stars.

For the Tang Song at that time, she was like a warm ray of light, something to aspire to.

In his teens, under the glow of White Moonlight, he experienced blushing, heart-pounding emotions, budding youth, and unforgettable memories...

It was precisely because of the special nature of this relationship that he didn't know how to face her.

8 p. m.

After spending some time in the three live-streaming rooms and learning about their work, Tang Song grabbed his car keys and went downstairs.

Soon, the white Bentley Continental GT drove out of the Underground Parking Lot.

The city streets were bathed in colorful lights.

The streets were bustling with activity, with cars and pedestrians hurrying by.

Feeling something amiss, Tang Song drove directly to the Outer Ring Road.

Listening to folk songs, feeling the evening breeze, and experiencing the control of the car, I let my mind wander.

When I came to my senses, I was right on the South Third Ring.

Looking at the familiar scenery around him, Tang Song turned the steering wheel, drove out of the Third Ring Road, and headed towards the Teachers' University along the city's main road.

I wonder what Qian Lele's current situation is now, a day after I left.

I parked in the parking lot at the South Gate of the Teachers' University.

Tang Song got out of the carriage, put one hand in his pocket, and had a slight smile on his lips.

I walked along the familiar streets toward the Pedestrian Street Night Market.

As we drew closer, a variety of enticing scents instantly filled our nostrils.

The weather is cool and pleasant today, and it's rush hour, so the Pedestrian Street is bustling with people.

Each stall was surrounded by a large crowd, and the noise never stopped.

It's like a flowing painting, full of life and vitality.

"Hello... um..." A somewhat cautious voice sounded from beside me.

Tang Song turned around and saw two young girls, around twenty years old, looking at him shyly.

The short-haired girl nudged her friend, "Hey, buddy, she wants to add you on WeChat!"

Another long-haired girl looked up and saw Tang Song's handsome face, feeling his refined and extraordinary temperament directly, and her face instantly turned red and her heart raced.

He whispered "sorry," lowered his head, and ran off with his friend.

Some people are like that; they stand out to a certain extent, making others too afraid to even approach them.

Tang Song smiled and continued walking along the long street.

Wearing a custom-made business suit, he seemed somewhat out of place with his surroundings, yet he blended in perfectly.

Soon, a familiar figure came into view.

Just like the past few days, Qian Lele sat Jingjing on a small stool, dressed in simple clothes, listening to Sister Wen next to her chatter about entertainment gossip and work troubles.

"Let me tell you, Lele, our damn director is shameless. She asked me to bring her lunch, but she won't pay a cent!"

"That damn boss, who earns over ten thousand a month, is taking advantage of my meager 4,000 a month! That's enough!"

Qian Lele thought for a moment and said softly, "Sister Wen, I've encountered this situation before. Actually, the solution is very simple: just bring your own lunch."

"Sigh, it's just too much trouble." Sister Wen shrugged helplessly. "By the way, Lele, the weather is so cool today, why didn't Tang Song come over to sit for a while?"

In the past, when the weather was nice in the evenings, Tang Song would bring a small stool and come here to stay for a while.

Chat with them.

Although the conversation always revolved around technical topics, Sister Wen, who always enjoys lively discussions, felt quite happy.

And having such a tall and strong guy around makes me feel quite safe.

Qian Lele said calmly, "Brother Song has his own work to do, and he doesn't live here at the Teachers' University anymore. I guess he won't be coming back in the future."

"Oh, okay then." Sister Wen sighed with some disappointment.

He raised his head and scanned the passing crowd.

Immediately, her gaze became vacant, and her mouth gaped open.

This is... the Tang Song?

Among the crowd, one figure stood out.

His thick, black hair fluttered in the night breeze, brushing against his deep, bright eyes.

A fitted, thin shirt and crisp, stylish black trousers accentuate a superior body proportion.

She has a straight nose, thin lips, broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and an elegant figure.

He appeared handsome, upright, composed, and confident.

As he stood there, he naturally attracted the attention of everyone around him.

He seemed like the perfect male lead who stepped out of the romance drama she was watching.

"Lele... Lele..." Sister Wen patted Qian Lele's back hard, her voice trembling slightly, "I think I saw Tang Song! But... why does he look so different? I can hardly recognize him."

Upon hearing the words "Tang Song," Qian Lele's eyes lit up instantly, and she followed Sister Wen's gaze.

She stood up abruptly from her squatting position, a bright and surprised smile spreading across her face.

Tang Song stood before her, his shiny black leather shoes clicking on the stone pavement.

Good evening, Lele.

"Good evening, Brother Song. What brings you here?" Qian Lele lowered her head slightly, a little embarrassed to meet his gaze.

"I came to see you." Tang Song stood next to her and glanced at the styrofoam box. "Business is pretty good, there's not much left."

Qian Lele clenched her hands tightly and said softly, "Yeah, I'm lucky today, someone bought eight cups at once."

Tang Song smiled Qian Qian, took out his Mobile Phone, scanned the QR code, paid 6 yuan, and picked up a cup of lemon tea.

"Sister Wen, give me two grilled sausages, cumin and sesame flavor, 5 yuan, right?"

Upon hearing Tang Song's voice, Sister Wen snapped out of her daze and quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, yes."

Then he picked up two grilled Starch Sausage, sprinkled them with cumin and sesame seeds, and handed them over.

Looking at Tang Song up close, Sister Wen's face flushed, as if she had just met a star.

Tang Song's appearance and temperament are exactly what a typical male protagonist in a novel should be like.

He's even more exciting than those young heartthrobs in TV dramas!

Sister Wen said excitedly, "Tang Song... you look so handsome today."

"Thank you for the compliment, Sister Wen." Tang Song replied with a smile, took the sausage, walked directly to the stall, and handed one of them to Qian Lele.

Then he sat down on the steps behind her and started chatting with her naturally.

Chewing on the fragrant Starch Sausage and listening to Tang Song's words, Qian Lele's eyes sparkled.

Although Tang Song left the Teacher's Apartment and became exceptionally wealthy, he was still willing to chat with her about trivial matters.

The slight disappointment I felt earlier vanished instantly.

Just then, a crisp System Prompt Sound sounded in Tang Song's ears.

"Ding! Halo charge has reached 100%, Halo Baptism has been triggered."

Immediately afterwards, a thin halo of light sprayed down from above, creating a dreamy and beautiful scene.

"Ding! You have obtained a special item of the Peace category, [Peaceful Wheat]."

[Peaceful Wheat]: Wearing this item can, to some extent, prevent physical harm and maintain emotional stability and tranquility. (This item can be given as a gift.)

[Note: A life of modest abundance is better than a life of perfect contentment; why worry so much about gains and losses?]
