Songmei Fashion, main conference room.

“For single-product livestreams, Qianchuan is definitely the best choice, as the traffic is filtered and more targeted.

But we’re running a multi-product livestream, focusing primarily on discontinued women’s fashion items in rapid succession.

So it’s best to first shoot a high-quality video, then push it with Douyin ads to drive traffic to the livestream. This is the most efficient way to ensure high engagement,”

Operations Manager Liu Renjie confidently discussed his plan for the debut livestream, pointing to the PPT displayed on the screen.

As the core member of Changyun Media’s women's fashion livestream team, Liu was fully responsible for the planning, organization, and execution of the entire project and in charge of setting the operational strategy.

His personal skills were certified by Deju Renhe, making him an absolute expert.

When he finished his speech, the group began brainstorming ideas for the new video.

“Our target audience is young women with some disposable income, many of whom are regular office workers.”

“Right! We could create videos that cater to their daydreams to boost conversion rates.”

“And the content should also tie back to our clothing.”

...

Since this was the company’s debut livestream, it was a chance to showcase their value. Everyone participated enthusiastically.

After a two-hour meeting, the entire livestream process was finalized, and the company quickly went into full preparation mode.

Even Sun Youguang and Zhang Ying joined in to help organize the products.

Standing in the center of the office, Tang Song watched his busy team, feeling his own fighting spirit ignite. Just as he was about to sit down to work on the company’s OA system, a clear system alert sounded.

“Ding! You’ve triggered a new side quest: [Successful Debut Livestream]”

He opened the mission center and checked the details.

[Mission Objective: The debut livestream is a significant test for the entire company team. As a startup, Songmei Fashion needs a successful stream to boost team morale and lay a solid foundation for growth.]

[Mission Reward: Random Gift Pack *1]

[Note 1: The better the debut results, the richer the rewards in the gift pack.]

[Note 2: Ensure the promotion stays within the company's advertising budget to avoid any losses.]

Reading the mission summary, Tang Song’s lips curled into a smile.

This was a benefit-oriented mission, and he was guaranteed a gift pack; the only question was how substantial it would be.

Too bad there was a budget cap; otherwise, they could have poured money into promotion and traffic, which would certainly drive up GMV.

Tang Song then shifted his focus to the [Badge - Lucky Me].

Fortunately, he had this buff.

With the luck enhancement, the livestream would surely benefit from a boost.

He wondered, though, if the effectiveness of the buff depended on his level of participation.

Motivated by this thought, he quickly walked over to the video-shooting area and cheerfully asked, “Colleagues, anything I can help with?”

This video was set to receive a massive ad push on Douyin right when the stream began, which would be critical for attracting viewers.

He wanted to get involved as much as possible to ensure his luck buff could have an effect.

He Liting, looking at Tang Song’s hands, excitedly suggested, “Actually, we could use your help, President Tang! We’re planning a transformation video, initially using a camera transition and a quick turn. But instead, how about you tap each of us on the shoulder, cover the lens for a second, and then—bam!—we’re in a new outfit? Adding the CEO element would really cater to the office workers’ fantasies! After all, our boss is so handsome!”

Though she was a livestream assistant at Changyun Media, she was also responsible for video operations and had plenty of insights in this area.

Now that she was in a new company, with a fresh start, she was eager to shine.

Opportunities to win over the boss didn’t come often, so she wasn’t about to miss out.

“Great idea!”

“That sounds awesome! I think we could turn this into a series—imagine the impact!”

With no objections from anyone else, Tang Song clapped his hands, smiling. “Alright then, let’s go with that! Let me know when you need me.”

Due to various issues like lighting, angles, and wardrobe, Tang Song ended up filming the shoulder-tapping scene with Gao Mengting, He Liting, and Wang Qingya more than 50 times over the next two hours. His hand was beginning to feel the strain.

4 PM, Isha Beauty Salon

Sister Li came in at a light jog and whispered, “Qianqian, the manager is waiting for you in the office on the third floor. Go quickly.”

Zhao Yaqian’s eyes widened with excitement. “Sister Li, is it time to sign the contract?”

“Yes, hurry up and don’t keep the manager waiting.”

Zhao Yaqian quickly stood up and jogged to the third floor.

Standing outside the corner office, she adjusted her appearance before softly knocking.

“Come in!”

Creeeak—the door opened, and Zhao Yaqian entered, standing in the middle of the office with her hands clasped in front. “Manager, you wanted to see me?”

“Take a seat.” Manager Zhao Qiuli gestured to the chair beside the desk.

Zhao Yaqian carefully took her seat.

“Qianqian, you’ve been here almost two weeks, haven’t you?”

“Yes, since April 30th. Today’s the 13th day!”

“Good work. The team speaks highly of you.”

“Thank you, Manager, and thanks to everyone for their support!”

Zhao Qiuli handed over two copies of a contract, smiling. “Starting tomorrow, you’ll officially be one of our full-time employees. In three months, we’ll cover your insurance. You know how high the turnover rate is in this industry, so this is necessary for the company.” ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel⸺fire.net

“I understand completely!”

Glancing over the salary and benefits, Zhao Yaqian signed and pressed her fingerprint on the contract without hesitation.

After signing, Zhao Qiuli handed her an envelope, saying, “Here’s your pay for the past 13 days, including a bit of commission. You can head home early today and prepare any remaining onboarding documents.”

“Thanks so much, Manager!” Zhao Yaqian accepted the thick envelope with a big smile.

Previously, she’d only been a temporary worker here, so her wages were calculated based on a part-time rate, with only half of her commission.

But she was satisfied with what she got.

She’d waited a long time for this. Now she could finally get regular shifts, with four days off each month.

More time for chatting, movies, and dinners with Brother Song.

As soon as she left the office, Zhao Yaqian ducked into the restroom.

She took out the envelope and pulled out a stack of crisp red bills.

“1, 2, 3...13, 23.”

Counting twice to be sure, she happily gazed at the 2,300 yuan cash in her hands.

She bid her colleagues farewell, changed out of her work clothes, and left the salon humming a tune.

It was just before 5 PM.

On the bus, Zhao Yaqian snapped a photo and shared it on her feed: “Getting off work this early for the first time. The daylight feels so nice.”

A moment later...

“Ding-dong!” A WeChat notification.

She checked her phone. A message had come through in a small group chat, tagging her.

[Li Yuanyuan: "@Qianqian, since you're off early, a few of us are meeting up to go shopping. Want to join us?"]

[Xiao Mu: "@Qianqian, come along! We haven’t seen you in forever; why stay hidden?"]

Seeing their invite, Zhao Yaqian felt tempted.

Several of her high school friends lived in Yan City, some studying, others working.

This small group chat was made up of a few close classmates.

Since her financial troubles began, she hadn’t joined them for outings or meals.

Now that her job was secure, and she’d received such a generous paycheck, she was eager to treat herself a little—and maybe flaunt her new Carryall bag.

With a smile, she replied: “Sure! I’ll stop by home first. Send me the address, and I’ll catch up with you all soon.”

The bus trundled along the streets of Yan City.

Watching the bustling scenes outside, everything looked different in the daylight—vibrant, lively, warm.

Thinking about it, she pictured Lin Muxue’s sophisticated and alluring outfit.

Tonight, she was determined to buy a stunning new dress, something like Little Xue’s, and wear it just for Brother Song!
