The Live Streaming Team
After finishing a stream, Shen Meng logged off to take a short break.
Li Qian walked over. "Shen Meng, what kind of sweet-talking did Manager Yang do to you this morning? You actually agreed to do a live stream from one of the stores?"
’Sweet-talking?’ ’I didn’t drink any of his "soup," but he did see everything.’
"Li Qian, why didn’t you tell me you were leaving this morning? I would have locked the door."
Li Qian asked, puzzled, "Lock the door for what? It’s not like you were changing clothes out in the open. What were you afraid of people seeing?"
Shen Meng’s face flushed red. She quickly turned her head so Li Qian wouldn’t see her strange expression and changed the subject. "How did you know Manager Yang asked me to do a live stream at a store?"
"I just stepped out. It’s all over the office. They’re saying President Li already approved it."
’I can’t believe how efficient Yang Hui is.’ Shen Meng recalled what he had said about the mall providing traffic and an extra 10% discount on top of existing sales. A flicker of anticipation for the in-store live stream ignited within her.
Right now, streaming for four hours a day from the company’s studio only generated about 10,000 in sales. Trying it out at a store might lead to a major breakthrough.
Just as she was thinking this, her phone buzzed with a notification.
It was a WeChat friend request from Yang Hui.
His username was the same as his real name. Shen Meng accepted the request.
The first message arrived almost immediately:
[Yang Hui: Shen Meng, from now on, you’re at my mercy. Laughing.JPG]
Shen Meng rolled her eyes. ’At his mercy? This Manager Yang, with his seductive eyes and mischievous smile, is just as flippant as he looks.’
[Shen Meng: When are we going to the store? I’ll wait for your notification.]
[Yang Hui: Before the stream, we need to coordinate on-site. We have to see whether we’ll broadcast from the store itself or from the mall’s streaming studio.]
[Shen Meng: You make the arrangements. I’ll wait for your notification.]
[Yang Hui: No time like the present. Let’s go this afternoon.]
Shen Meng had already completed her required streaming hours and had nothing else to do before the end of the day. Hearing his suggestion, she agreed. They arranged to leave the office at 3:00 PM.
Yang Hui smiled smugly. He had finally taken the first step.
’As long as they have time to spend together, Shen Meng will have opportunities to spend money on me. All I need to do is keep her tied to my side.’
"Zhu Jing, come here for a second!"
Having settled things with Shen Meng, he was in high spirits and called loudly for Zhu Jing.
A white blouse and a hip-hugging skirt—a classic "office lady" look.
Yang Hui couldn’t help but steal a few glances at her fair, delicate legs. "Ahem!"
She caught him. He let out a light cough to cover his tracks. "Zhu Jing, could you help me check if the data in this spreadsheet is wrong?"
He pushed his butt back, rolling his chair away from the desk to make room for Zhu Jing to look at the data.
"Where is it wrong?"
As she bent over, the stretchy fabric of her hip-hugging skirt tightened, accentuating her full curves. When she didn’t hear her boss say anything for a moment, she turned around and found him staring at her butt.
He snapped out of it and quickly said, "Why is the discount rate for this store so low? It’s far below the other locations."
He moved forward, pointing to a row of data on the computer screen. At the same time, a faint fragrance wafted from her. He quietly took a couple of breaths, a stir of desire rising within him.
’Good thing I have a date with Liu Shasha today. A young man’s passions burn a little too strong.’
Zhu Jing focused on the screen for a moment before replying, "This store has always had low discounts. The company issued some promotional gift vouchers, all for 50% off, and customers tend to redeem them at this particular store."
Ah. Yang Hui nodded, understanding.
"Alright, you can get back to your work. Remember to take the reimbursement forms and the expense report for the mall promotion to the rookie at 5:20 PM for her signature. No, take them now. I’ll give her a call."
Zhu Jing couldn’t figure out what her boss was planning, but with that wicked grin on his face, it was clear he was up to no good.
She got up to leave, but she accidentally tripped and fell right into Yang Hui’s lap, landing on her butt.
Ugh! He had just barely managed to suppress his budding desire, but with her sitting on him like this... if not for the layers of fabric between them, they would have been flush against each other.
The stretchy fabric of her hip-hugging skirt clung to her like a second skin, outlining her full curves. Through the material of his suit pants, their body heat mingled where his hip bones met the curve of her bottom. The contact, far exceeding a safe professional distance, instantly froze the air into a vacuum of ambiguity.
Her blushing cheeks were so hot they seemed to melt the stray strands of hair at her temples, her eyelashes fluttering rapidly like a butterfly caught in a trap. The sound of Yang Hui’s gulp was unnaturally loud in the dead silence, yet he forced himself to ask in a business-like tone, "Can you get up on your own?"—even though the strained seam of his trousers had long since betrayed his feigned composure.
She nodded, pushed back against him to get leverage, and stood up. They both let out a grunt at the same time.
Her face was so red it looked like it was bleeding. She lowered her head and returned to her seat, leaving Yang Hui alone to savor the memory of that brief moment.
Following Yang Hui’s instructions, she took the reimbursement forms and the expense report for the mall promotion to Cai Miao. At that exact moment, Yang Hui dialed Cai Miao’s extension.
When Cai Miao saw Zhu Jing approaching, she sneered, recalling Yang Hui’s infuriating attitude from that morning. ’So what if I hold up your reimbursements? So what if I sign them late? What can you do about it?’
RING RING RING~
Just as she was about to taunt Zhu Jing, her internal line rang. Cai Miao pretended not to see her and picked up the phone.
The voice that made her blood boil came from the other end.
"Assistant Old Cai, I’ve sent over my team’s documents for signing. If you’ve got the guts, try holding them up again."
CLICK!
Before Cai Miao could explode in anger, he hung up on her. Zhu Jing, meanwhile, had put down the stack of reimbursement forms and reports and returned to her desk, just as Yang Hui had instructed—don’t argue on the spot with that bitch.
Clutching the receiver, Cai Miao panted heavily, her chest heaving.
"Yang Hui, I swear, this company isn’t big enough for the both of us!"
She carelessly tossed aside the documents Zhu Jing had brought for her to sign. ’I am going to hold up your team’s reimbursements. Go ahead and file a complaint if you have the guts.’
’Even if this gets to President Li, the most I’ll get is a lecture. It doesn’t cause any actual losses for the company, so I won’t be severely punished.’
’But it will let me vent my anger and piss off Yang Hui at the same time. Even if I get chewed out, it’ll be worth it.’
「3:00 PM」
Yang Hui ran over to the live streaming team to get Shen Meng, and together they headed for the first Xinyue Square store. The in-store broadcast would either be held at "Airex" in Xinyue Square or at the Xinyue Group regional office. The regional office was near the first Xinyue Square store, which is why Yang Hui had chosen this location.
"Manager Yang!"
"Manager Yang, Shen Meng, are you two heading out together?"
A company is never short on gossips. One of them was a handsome young man, the other was the company’s reigning beauty, and everyone knew the boss had his eye on her. When two such buzz-worthy people got together, it was only natural that it would generate even more speculation and gossip.
Cai Miao quickly heard the news, and a thought sparked in her mind.
’Those are two people I can’t stand.’
