Why is This Troublemaker So Damn Rich?

’Fortunately, he was prepared. If he couldn’t even handle a detail like this, how could he have lasted so long in the scumbag game without crashing and burning?’

He lifted her small face. Her almond-shaped eyes sparkled, the shadows of her lashes concealing the sharp glint within them. Her pursed lips, coated in a matte lip glaze, looked even more pitifully lovable as they dried slightly in the cold air from the air conditioner.

A few strands of her loosely styled black hair had fallen, clinging to the hollows of her faintly visible collarbones.

He couldn’t resist. He captured her red lips, his hand caressing her firm, rounded ass...

A few minutes later, he released the breathless Shen Meng and sat down, taking a sip of herbal tea to cool his ardor. "We have a one-day business trip this week. We’re going to check on the markets."

"Mhm." Shen Meng stole a glance at his lower body. ’It seems I haven’t been fulfilling my duties as a girlfriend,’ she thought. ’I’ve made him suffer.’

Normally, if it was to check on the markets, Yang Hui would have taken Yang Na. But this time, he was taking Shen Meng, and the reason was self-evident. Shen Meng felt a mix of nervousness and anticipation for the coming trip. After all this time together, she had already given him her heart and was prepared to give him her all, without reservation.

「3:00 PM」

Shanghai. NLB China Headquarters.

Inside Sales Director Song Wen’s office, she and Serene sat chatting on the sofa.

"Yanghe Commerce has been a pleasant surprise. A few days ago, you reported on their channel advantages and the favorable resources they’re receiving from their partner, and I largely agreed with your assessment: in the future, Yanghe Commerce will be our most important client in Qingjiang Province. However, I still had some reservations. They are a new company, after all. Their operational capability was an unknown, and that’s what will determine their long-term potential.

When yesterday’s first-day sales results came in, I was stunned. We’ve had other clients hit over a hundred thousand in sales on their opening day, but that was always during a holiday. Plus, they would log sales from a soft opening period all at once on the official first day. It made their opening day numbers look impressive, but their performance would be unremarkable after that.

Yanghe Commerce is different. We all know they only just opened for business yesterday. We must understand exactly how they achieved these results so we can have our clients nationwide learn from their example. This is definitely a key strategy for boosting NLB’s annual sales targets."

As Song Wen spoke, Serene nodded slightly. ’Yang Hui really gave me a surprise,’ she thought. ’No one expected these results. I hope it’s not just a flash in the pan.’

"It’s already afternoon. I’ll have my assistant check their sales figures for the day so far," Song Wen said, sending a message as she spoke.

"Serene, a lot of people at the company are going to be jealous of you. Qingjiang was one of our weakest regions, with only 5 million in total procurement value for all of last year. If it wasn’t, we wouldn’t have been so actively pushing for Futong Commerce to acquire the previous client’s market this year. And even after that acquisition, the general consensus in the company was that Qingjiang Province would need time to develop and we wouldn’t see results anytime soon.

Then you joined the company. Since you’re from Qingzhou, we assigned you to the region. I’ll admit I was worried. But then Yanghe Commerce appeared out of nowhere. Based on how things are going, you’ll easily be in the top three for KPI achievement this year. Hitting the 10 million procurement target should be a breeze."

million? Serene smiled faintly. ’That’s the company’s KPI, not my goal.’

The afternoon sun streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing her in light and giving her an almost ethereal aura. Her delicate features were so striking that even Song Wen, herself a woman, was captivated for a full three seconds.

’Serene is just too beautiful. No wonder the men in the office swarmed her like hungry wolves the moment she arrived. But her standards seem to be quite high; she hasn’t shown interest in a single one of them.’

KNOCK KNOCK~

"Come in."

"President Song," the assistant reported, "the NLB store at the Qingzhou Xinyue Plaza First Store has reached 60,000 in sales as of 3:00 PM."

"That high?" Song Wen and Serene exchanged a look, each seeing the disbelief in the other’s eyes.

She waved her hand, dismissing the assistant. "It seems there’s a lot for us to dig into here. Yanghe Commerce has given our whole company a massive surprise. To think a 200-square-meter store could have such explosive potential. At this rate, today’s total sales will likely surpass yesterday’s. What kind of surprise will they have for us come the weekend?"

"President Song, I’ll head to Qingzhou tomorrow to conduct a thorough analysis of the Yanghe Commerce store. This is the benchmark we need to set for everyone else."

"Good, Serene. You can spend some time in the Qingjiang area and do a thorough analysis. Find the secret to Yanghe Commerce’s success. Oh, and keep an eye on what you mentioned before—their plan to sell through online channels. Let’s see if they can surprise us on that front as well."

"I have confidence in them."

Serene thought again of Yang Hui’s confident smile, and of the 1.2 million in sales Airex had achieved in a single day. ’If they did that with Airex,’ she mused, ’the results for NLB, with its much stronger brand power, would definitely be better. Plus, this is Yang Hui’s own business. He’ll have better control over everything from product mix and logistics to coordinating resources with the mall. It’s bound to be a bigger success than his last live-stream sale.’

What she didn’t know was that Yanghe Commerce’s business terms with Xinyue Square were just a flat 6% commission on sales. If Xinyue Square were to offer subsidies on the same scale as they did for the Airex live stream, the mall would lose money—a deal no shopping center would ever agree to. Had she known this, she likely wouldn’t have been so confident. When it comes to online live streams, consumers are extremely price-sensitive.
