"Oh? What’s the story?"

’I haven’t been that obvious, have I? I wonder why Xia Jie is saying this.’

"I heard that President Li has always taken special care of Shen Meng."

’Li Yang? A gross old man in his fifties, trying to rob the cradle?’

Yang Hui smiled. "Is that why none of the guys at the company dare to pursue Shen Meng?"

Xia Jie always spoke in a gentle, soft manner.

"Yes. The company doesn’t allow office romances, and with President Li..."

She didn’t spell out the rest, but Yang Hui knew exactly what she meant.

’You dare pursue a woman President Li has his eye on? He’d use the "no office romance" rule to banish you to a desolate corner.’

She had no idea that this news only made Yang Hui more satisfied. ’Isn’t this a double buff?’

’I can trigger a violation, make Li Yang hate my guts, and become the public enemy of every man in the company. It’s one stone, three birds!’

’Shen Meng, huh? It’s you, then. Target acquired.’

Suddenly, a system notification box with an unread message appeared in his mind. While waiting at a red light, he opened the system message.

[In light of the Host’s champion-like determination on the path to unemployment, and for the sake of pursuing higher goals, bravely forging ahead, clearing all obstacles, and pressing onward... (one hundred words of praise omitted)...

And for wisely finding a shortcut to unemployment, the System hereby rewards the Host with the following mission:

Activate Consumer Rebate Mission for target: 「Shen Meng」

Mission Details: When the bound target spends money on the Host, the Host will receive a random 10-100x cash rebate (multiplier is random).

Mission Duration: 3 months.

Penalty: If Shen Meng spends less than 50,000 yuan on the Host within 3 months, the Host’s hairline will recede!]

"Holy crap!"

Yang Hui violently slapped his thigh!

"Ah!" Xia Jie jumped in fright, her face instantly turning bright red.

Only then did he realize he had made a mistake—how did he end up slapping Xia Jie’s leg?

"Sorry, wrong leg!"

The blush on Xia Jie’s face bloomed like a drop of red ink in water.

’You slapped the wrong one, so why aren’t you moving your hand? What are you rubbing it for?’

She subtly shifted her leg away, avoiding his searing hand.

She cautiously glanced at Yang Hui and saw his expression suddenly change drastically. Her heart tightened, and she subconsciously nudged her leg back toward him.

’Oh, what is wrong with me? How can I be so shameless?’

Xia Jie was angry with herself. Was she really going to offer up her thigh for him to touch just because she thought he was angry? ’How pathetic can I be?’

But she didn’t know that the drastic change in Yang Hui’s expression was because he had just discovered how screwed up the system mission was. The consumer rebate wasn’t for him spending money on Shen Meng; it was for Shen Meng spending money on *him*.

The difficulty had just increased a hundredfold.

’This is no fun at all. Can’t I even farm for cash in peace?’

Then he looked at the penalty, and Yang Hui’s whole mood soured. Make Shen Meng spend 50,000 yuan on him in three months? She was just a junior employee; even if she didn’t eat or drink and spent every penny she earned on him, how much could that possibly be?

If he failed, his "reward" would be a receding hairline. He glanced in the rearview mirror, imagining what his handsome face would look like with a monk-like bald patch on top.

A chill ran down his spine!

"Um, Xia Jie, how much do our company’s livestreamers earn per month?"

Xia Jie was still wondering if he was angry because she hadn’t let him touch her thigh. Being suddenly asked about the livestreamers’ income, she instantly understood he was still thinking about Shen Meng. She sighed. ’Manager Yang has such a great future ahead of him. Why is he so determined to throw it all away?’

"They’re paid based on sales revenue. Since the online prices are lower than in-store, the sales commission is also lower—only 2%. Plus, to differentiate from the physical stores, the online channels usually sell overstock or slow-moving items, so making sales isn’t that easy.

Among the livestreamers, a good performer like Shen Meng might generate 300,000 in sales a month. With a base salary of 6,000, her income would be around 12,000 yuan. After taxes and social security, her take-home pay is probably just over 10,000."

’Listen, System, just listen to this! Her monthly income is ten thousand, and you want her to spend fifty thousand on me in three months? How am I supposed to complete this mission?’

Unfortunately, the System ignored him. To save himself from going bald and to successfully provoke Li Yang, he had to formulate a "Shen Meng Conquest" plan.

"By the way, Xia Jie, which brand are you responsible for?"

Xia Jie shot him a reproachful look. ’So he finally remembered me.’

"I’m with ’Shi Meng.’"

"I took a look. Your team’s monthly performance is pretty good. You must be one of the teams with less pressure in the company."

"Sigh..."

Yang Hui made a smooth left turn, and the car entered the underground parking garage of Xinyue Square.

"What’s with the sigh?"

"Our boss offended Cai Miao, so now whenever any of our paperwork goes to her, she finds all sorts of faults with it. I hate dealing with her; it’s giving me anxiety."

’No wonder Cai Miao targeted her so aggressively last time. It turns out her department head pissed off Cai Miao.’

’And now I’ve offended her even worse. Will she start targeting my team members?’

Xia Jie’s words served as a reminder to him.

They got out of the car and entered Xinyue Square together. But Xia Jie was heading to the store while Yang Hui was going to the mall office, so they parted ways in the underground garage.

"Manager Yang, thank you! I’ll treat you to a meal sometime!"

He smiled, suddenly thinking, ’It would be great if Shen Meng were the one saying this. For the sake of the mission, I definitely wouldn’t refuse.’

Thinking of Shen Meng, he logged into TikTok and entered Futong Commerce’s livestream account.

Sure enough, Shen Meng was live.

Her fair skin glowed with a pearly luster under the camera. Her almond-shaped eyes were as clear as lake water, and when her lashes trembled, it seemed as if they could create ripples.

Her slightly curled, long hair cascaded over her shoulders. The subtle sparkle of diamond earrings occasionally flashed from between the strands, making her look both refined and lively.

It seemed she changed into the featured outfit for each livestream; what she was wearing now was different from the clothes she had on when he saw her that afternoon.

Holding up a lace-trimmed, deep blue maxi dress, she spun around, the skirt flaring out like starlight in the night sky. She gently stroked the fabric as she explained, "This one drapes beautifully. It sells for 20% off at the counter, but in the livestream today, it’s 40% off!"

There were over 50 people watching the stream. A quick glance showed that besides some young women, there were also some accounts that were clearly just horny guys, most likely there to gawk at the pretty woman.

"Hey beautiful, what a great figure. A body like that is a weapon, piercing the hearts of consumers and emptying their wallets."

"Hey beautiful, wanna go out?"

’This is a sales livestream, yet the comments are all over the place. If you want to hit on women, wouldn’t it be better to go watch one of the dancing girls?’

When someone in the comments accused her of "using her body to get attention," she simply smiled and replied, "Beauty is the weapon, but professionalism is the bullet." The camera panned over the rack of neatly hung sample clothes behind her, the tags clearly visible—proof of the best-sellers she had stayed up all night selecting!
