Chapter 117: Chapter 113: Brother, Come Back Early Tonight (Part 2)

...

Hang City, Metro Line 1.

Wang Hao, who had just gotten off work, sat on the subway, heading toward his girlfriend’s office.

He was the current manager of the GY flagship store and had been in the e-commerce business with Gao Yuan for some time.

The company had given out a few boxes of facial masks today, and he planned to give them to his girlfriend to try.

He was resting with his eyes closed, his mind occupied with how to achieve significant growth for the GY masks while minimizing initial losses, when his phone suddenly rang.

For Wang Hao, who had been in the e-commerce industry for so many years, the sound was all too familiar.

He immediately pulled out his phone and opened the store’s back-end dashboard.

Just as he’d thought—a new order had come in.

And they kept coming, one after another. His phone didn’t stop buzzing until more than thirty orders had been placed.

Wang Hao was curious about this sudden flood of over thirty orders.

The order times were all very close, and surprisingly, all the addresses were in Hang City.

Most importantly, they were all large orders. The smallest purchase was for three boxes, while some people had bought as many as nine!

Wang Hao’s expression grew serious. He suspected a competitor might be trying to sabotage the GY flagship store.

He immediately contacted his operations assistant and told him to monitor and flag these thirty-plus orders once he got home.

Preoccupied, Wang Hao got off the subway and walked to a nearby office building.

While waiting, Wang Hao kept himself busy. He registered an account for the GY brand on Xiaohongshu and uploaded some product screenshots from the store.

Then, he started drafting a Xiaohongshu seeding plan in his notes app. Product seeding for skincare was quite effective, especially since women loved browsing Xiaohongshu. A good campaign on the platform could drive a lot of traffic.

"Which pretty lady are you texting?"

Completely absorbed in his work, Wang Hao hadn’t even noticed his girlfriend, Hou Ying, coming downstairs.

When Hou Ying tapped him on the shoulder, he was so startled he nearly dropped his phone.

"Feeling guilty?"

A suspicious look crossed Hou Ying’s face. Before Wang Hao could explain, she snatched his phone, only to find an unfinished work plan on the screen.

Hou Ying scrolled through his phone for a moment longer but found no suspicious chat messages, so she decided to let him off the hook.

Just then, she noticed the elegant gift bag in his hand. "Did you buy me a present?"

She took it from him and opened it to find facial masks. The packaging was exquisite, but she had never heard of the brand.

"It’s our company’s product. The boss handed them out as a bonus today."

Wang Hao explained.

Hou Ying had been quite supportive of him changing jobs. She agreed that skincare had a more promising future than wigs.

"The benefits at your new company are great! Not only do you work four days and get three off, but they also give out perks."

Seeing the masks her boyfriend brought, she felt even more certain that his decision to switch jobs was the right one.

’Why stick with wigs? That other company was publicly listed, but all they gave out for holidays were some pathetic little freebies. Who would want that!’

Hou Ying was actually a little envious of her boyfriend. A four-day work week, with three days off!

He got a day and a half more off than she did for no reason. She was tempted to quit her own job and apply.

Unfortunately, Yuanfang Company had no plans to expand its team at the moment.

Leaving aside whether or not Hou Ying would be pleasantly surprised after using the GY masks, Gao Yuan himself had just received a surprise.

[DING! You have a mission reward ready to be claimed.]

Gao Yuan opened the system panel and discovered that the mission related to Li Mengqing was already complete.

He clicked on the mission reward and claimed the High-explosive Traffic Card.

Gao Yuan didn’t plan on using the card just yet. He was waiting for the right opportunity—a chance to make a massive impact on the skincare market in one fell swoop.

When that time came, the High-explosive Traffic Card would play a crucial role.

His employees had all gone home, and with nothing left to do at the office, Gao Yuan also headed downstairs, got in his car, and drove home.

「Back at home.」

Gao Yuan was surprised to find both Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing at home.

After changing into some casual clothes, the three of them sat and chatted for a while. It was then that Gao Yuan learned Li Xiumei could already get out of bed and walk.

Before Lin Wanyu left, Li Xiumei had specifically told her to thank Gao Yuan. She even had her pack up a good amount of Lin Hongnian’s cigarettes and liquor to bring to him.

It very much had the feel of a mother-in-law doting on her son-in-law.

Listening to Lin Wanyu, Gao Yuan’s expression remained unchanged, but inwardly, he was stunned.

Yesterday, when Lin Wanyu mentioned that Li Xiumei could move slightly and was in less pain, he had already sensed the miraculous power of the system’s little pills.

He never would have imagined that on just the second day after taking one, Li Xiumei would be able to get up and move around.

Instantly,

the importance of the little pills skyrocketed several levels in Gao Yuan’s mind.

He wouldn’t be using the remaining nine so casually again.

As the three of them chatted, Lin Wanyu turned the topic to Gao Yuan’s work.

"Long day at work?"

"It was the first day of sales. We made over a dozen sales. I’ll go cook; let’s celebrate."

Gao Yuan didn’t know at this point that Li Mengqing’s colleagues had also placed orders. When he got up to cook, Li Mengqing thought he was celebrating because he knew about her colleagues’ purchases.

In that moment, Li Mengqing felt a sudden sense of satisfaction and sweetness.

’I’ll have to get those streamers with huge followings to do a promotional push for the product tomorrow,’ she resolved silently.

In the kitchen, Gao Yuan felt that his culinary arts mission was almost complete. He was now only four experience points away from a system upgrade.

As soon as he completed this mission, his system would reach Level 3.
