After a brief introduction, the six new hires, led by Liu Renjie, went to the conference room one by one to sign their employment contracts.

As the two leaders left the room, Wang Qingya excitedly asked Sun Youguang, "Brother Sun, is our President Tang single?"

Hearing this, Hou Yan and Li Xiaoyu also crowded around him.

"Tang and Vice President Gao are dressed like a couple! Are they together?"

Surrounded by three curious women, Sun Youguang blushed and replied, "President Tang and Vice President Gao are business partners; both are shareholders in our company. They're probably not a couple. As for whether President Tang is single, I really don't know."

Hearing this, the three women's eyes lit up with interest.

"Brother Sun, tell us more about President Tang, like his age and stuff."

"Yes! We want to know more about him."

Sun Youguang smiled and said, "Our boss just turned 25 this year. He's incredibly impressive…"

Listening to the chatter around her, He Liting gradually escaped her shock. Sitting at her desk, she rubbed her head, feeling a whirlwind of emotions.

Tang Song was her boss, and her cousin Zhao Yaqian's relationship with him undoubtedly benefited her career.

But this also brought some complications.

With such a young, handsome, and capable boss, it wasn't just Wang Qingya and the others who were attracted—even she felt a flutter in her heart.

When she thought about the elegant woman in the Burberry coat and the poised partner standing beside Tang Song, she realized that Zhao Yaqian might not stand a chance.

Moreover, she had previously urged her cousin to find an outstanding boyfriend, which caused misunderstandings between Zhao Yaqian and Tang Song. Although the misunderstandings were resolved, it still created some distance, which wasn't ideal.

Caught between these thoughts and self-reproach, she watched her colleagues return from signing their contracts, shifting their discussions from Tang Song to their excitement about the company's new business ventures.

"Ting Ting, it's your turn," Li Xiaoyu said, looking refreshed as she patted He Liting on the shoulder.

He Liting quickly stood up and walked briskly toward the conference room.

Pushing open the frosted glass door, she saw Tang Song and Gao Mengting sitting inside.

He Liting bit her lower lip and cautiously sat across from them, politely greeting them, "Hello, President Tang, Vice President Gao."

"Hello, Liting." Tang Song smiled at her and said, "Don't be nervous. We're colleagues now, and this conversation is more about listening to your concerns."

Under his bright gaze, He Liting lowered her head slightly and softly said, "Thank you for your concern, President Tang."

"You've been a streamer assistant for over a year. Could you tell me about your understanding of this role and future career plans?"

He Liting licked her dry lips, carefully choosing her words, "My work mainly involves assisting the streamer with product recommendations, live content planning, and audience interaction…"

Tang Song listened quietly, observing her expressions and small gestures, asking a few questions here and there.

The special effect [Leader] attached to his role as CEO of Songmei Fashion was triggered.

With his keen intuition and insight, he quickly concluded.

When He Liting finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Liting, you're quite pretty, and you have a good figure too."

Hearing this, He Liting blushed and felt her heart race.

What does this mean!?

Tang Song continued, "In the early stages of our company, we're attracting customers with off-season inventory, so the live streams will be quite busy, requiring both a main and a co-host to be on screen simultaneously. I've reviewed your file from Bocai Yingrui, and I saw that you've occasionally served as a co-host and performed well. So, we'd like to offer you the co-host position with a salary increase."

With that, he handed her the employment contract.

He Liting quickly accepted it and opened it to take a look.

The contract was professional and detailed.

Her base salary was set at 7,000 yuan, and her commission was tiered based on team sales performance. As a co-host, she could earn a minimum of 0.3% of the GMV (Gross Merchandise Value) as commission.

Seeing this, she couldn't help but breathe rapidly.

In her original career plan, she had hoped to join a larger live-streaming channel as a co-host. At Changyun Media, she often did co-host work, but her salary was still at the assistant level—only 5,000 yuan a month.

Unlike Wang Qingya and Liu Renjie, she didn't earn any commissions.

This was why she was so angry when the company withheld her bonus, leading to her decision to leave.

If everything went smoothly here, and the team's monthly sales exceeded 1 million yuan, she could earn a minimum of 3,000 yuan in performance bonuses in addition to her 7,000 yuan base salary, totaling 10,000 yuan a month.

That was double her earnings at Changyun Media.

Taking a deep breath, she nodded and said, "No problem, President Tang. I'm confident I can do the co-host job well."

As long as the money was good, she was willing to take on multiple roles!

After efficiently signing the employment contract and confidentiality agreement, He Liting went to the HR office to collect her work laptop before quickly returning to her desk.

Seeing her return, Wang Qingya warmly hugged her shoulder and sweetly said, "Sweet Ting Ting, let's make a deal."

Still excited, He Liting casually asked, "What deal?"

"Let's swap workstations."

"No way! Ting Ting, swap with me! I'll treat you to a week's worth of Luckin Coffee!" Hou Yan quickly joined in.

"I'll treat you to a week's worth of lunches!"

He Liting was stunned, sensing that something wasn't right.

Liu Renjie chuckled and said, "Ting Ting, President Tang often works at the desk opposite yours. You might want to think this through."

Hearing this, He Liting gritted her teeth and decisively rejected their offers.

Qianqian, for your sake, I'll look at our boss's handsome face daily! Just thinking about it is thrilling!

…

As He Liting left the conference room, Tang Song leaned back in his chair and stretched, gazing at Gao Mengting.

Smiling, he said, "We're in sync today, wearing matching outfits like a couple."

Gao Mengting covered her mouth with a laugh and rolled her eyes at him, "My clothes only cost a few hundred yuan—nothing compared to your outfit."

Although there were no logos on Tang Song's clothes, her years of experience in the fashion business told her that the fabric and design were definitely high-end.

It might even be a custom piece from a major brand.

"How about I gift you a set?"

Gao Mengting shook her head, "No need, I have plenty of clothes. President Tang, now that everyone's here, how about we do our first livestream this Saturday? I'll personally host it to test the waters and help the team get in sync."

"Sounds great! Go for it."

Gao Mengting stood up and seriously said, "I won't let you down."

Since the company was founded, Tang Song had shown enough sincerity and capability—providing the office space, contributing 1 million yuan in capital, purchasing her inventory, and using his connections to recruit the team.

As a partner holding 25% of the company's shares, she felt she had been coasting on luck and couldn't wait to prove her value.

"I believe in you," Tang Song said with a smile, patting her shoulder. He couldn't help but glance at her long, beautiful legs under her pencil skirt.

It was the first time his partner had bared her legs—they were beautifully shaped, fair, and smooth, making him really want to squeeze them.

Noticing Tang Song's intense gaze, Gao Mengting blushed and softly said, "President Tang, I'll get back to work."

With that, she quickly left the conference room. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel※fire.net

…

Back in the general manager's office, Tang Song's fingers traced the new file folder on his desk, feeling overjoyed.

That morning, he had just arrived at the office when Manager Ma from property management called.

The 1,810-square-meter office spaces 3003–3008 were now officially his. He was now the proud owner of the 30th floor of Yunxi Tower and could freely transform it into his ideal workspace.

Now that the live-streaming team, HR, and finance were all in place, it was time to make a big move!

Just then, the system interface appeared before him, with lines of text jumping out:

[May 11, 2023: After hard work, you have established a reasonable organizational structure and compensation system for Songmei Fashion. You have also initially set up the company's core business and recruited 10 employees. As the company's owner, you feel great accomplishment and are filled with anticipation for the future.]

[You have completed Growth Plan Task ②: Company Startup.]

[You have unlocked the achievement "Team Leader."]

[You have obtained a special item: "Badge - Lucky Me."]

A badge!

Tang Song quickly sat up straight, his eyes shining with excitement.

In the game, [Badges] were extremely rare items, each with special effects, making them incredibly valuable.

He opened the system inventory to check the details.

[Badge - Lucky Me]: The player receives a temporary luck buff when equipped. Badge duration: 24 hours.

[Note: People who smile often tend to have good luck.]

Nice!

An item that can change your luck—this was top-tier, even in the game!

Although the badge only lasted 24 hours, it could still bring unexpected benefits.

Winning the lottery was too far-fetched, but maybe it could boost the critical hit rate of his [Heartthrob Aura (LV2)].

After some thought, Tang Song decided not to equip the badge immediately.

Saturday was the company's first live-streaming event.

A successful debut was crucial for a startup, as it could significantly boost team morale and cohesion.

He planned to equip the badge just before the live stream, using the luck buff to make the broadcast even more popular.

…

The six new employees quickly adapted to their new environment for the rest of the day.

They spent time with Gao Mengting, learning about the company's inventory and business plans, and held meetings to discuss the upcoming live stream.

As an experienced team, their communication was smooth, and everything went well.

By 6:30 PM, everyone was packing up to leave.

Tang Song looked at his energetic startup team and sent a 2,000-yuan red packet in the 10-person WeChat group with the message: "Great job today, everyone. I know it's been a busy first day—treat yourselves to something nice tonight."

The office immediately erupted in cheers.

"Thank you, boss!"

"President Tang is so generous!"

"President Tang, I love you!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Yanzi, be more reserved!"
