After chatting with Zhao Yaqian for a while, Tang Song felt reassured. Currently, there seemed to be no issues in their relationship. As for why she hadn’t responded to his shopping invitation, it might be due to some typical girl's thoughts. This was an area he never excelled at, much like when he couldn’t figure out his white moonlight’s thoughts. Shaking his head, he pushed aside the complicated thoughts.

Tang Song opened the system interface again, his eyes fixated on the balance section.

[Balance: 63,000 yuan (Investment fund: 1 million)]

With no debt, his net assets totaled 106,300 yuan. With the influence of the [Popular Me] title, he could continuously generate new income, achieving a certain degree of financial freedom. This feeling was truly wonderful. While money wasn’t everything, it could solve 99% of an ordinary person’s problems.

He stared at his asset information for a while longer before slapping his forehead. Right, his parents’ phones needed replacing. They were still using old low-end Honor phones from years ago, with the Kirin 710 processor struggling and his dad often complaining about insufficient memory.

Tang Song immediately opened his computer and browsed JD.com, eventually ordering two Honor 80 Pro phones. They were lightweight, familiar with system usage, and had eye-friendly screens. He chose black for his dad and pink for his mom, both at the highest configuration of 12+512GB, costing a total of 7,600 yuan.

After buying the phones, Tang Song glanced at his balance, feeling a bit impulsive. The refrigerator at home was over ten years old, bought when he was in junior high. Its 185-liter capacity was far from enough for his mom’s cooking needs, and it was noisy. His parents were used to eating leftovers, so a microwave was also essential. The TV at home had a small screen and low resolution, unfriendly to his parents’ eyes.

Since his graduation coincided with family misfortunes, life had been tight. After paying off debts, he had to save for a house and marriage. The household appliances and furniture had been used for years and were due for an upgrade. Now, not lacking money, he wanted to fulfill this wish.

After a spree, he spent about 20,000 yuan, looking at a long list of orders with a sense of achievement. He picked up his phone and sent his mom a WeChat message: “Mom, I recently earned some money from a side job and bought some stuff for home. They should arrive in the next two days, so keep an eye out.”

Having done all this, Tang Song stretched, leaned back in his chair, and opened Little Red Book, intending to gather suggestions from netizens to make a simple plan for his next video. This was crucial for his current primary income source and needed careful attention.

Opening the note he posted in the morning, he saw only 500 views and single-digit likes and comments. He browsed the few comments seriously, replying to each, his brows furrowing. The data seemed to be getting worse recently, and user engagement was low. He analyzed his recent notes, realizing the issue. He posted daily updates to attract followers and gain attention, mainly documenting his meals, workouts, and weight. However, after the initial novelty wore off, netizens’ curiosity declined.

In the field of ordinary person transformation, only content with real highlights, conflict, and contrast had market potential. Realizing this, Tang Song’s thoughts quickly cleared. To accumulate followers through natural traffic, he needed to produce high-quality content. Targeting a specific flaw, making focused transformations, and creating videos with strong contrasts and shared experiences would meet netizens’ desires for growth and provide educational value—this was the long-term strategy suitable for him.

Tang Song then began seriously searching through his previous note comments. Some advised on skincare, hair care, makeup attempts, and outfit suggestions. One long comment caught his attention.

[Little Red Riding Hood: "A good posture is crucial, making you look more charismatic and upright. Your forward head posture is quite severe. As entrusted by Yaoyao Ling, I’ve compiled a correction tutorial for you. Stand straight, cross your arms behind you, and lower your shoulders…”]

The comment was a few hundred words long, accompanied by several diagrams, very detailed. It was posted a few days ago when Tang Song was busy buying a car, receiving the office, and going on a road trip, so he hadn’t noticed it.

Posture correction was indeed a good direction. In his previous selfies and videos, his posture issues, such as slouching, hunching, raised shoulders, and forward head, were evident, affecting his appearance. Correcting these and creating a before-and-after comparison video should have a significant impact.

He copied [Little Red Riding Hood]’s comment into his notes and replied, “Got it, thanks for the guidance. I’ll start practicing today.”

To his surprise, he found a familiar ID under the comment.

[Yaoyao Ling: "I spent a lot to hire this expert for you. She’s been practicing dance since childhood, so trust her advice!"]

This was a true quality follower! Not only did she offer suggestions but she also mobilized her connections.

Tang Song couldn’t help but give her a thumbs-up, replying, “Thank you so much for your continued support and encouragement. If you visit Yan City, feel free to contact me. Food and accommodation are on me!”

In the afternoon, Tang Song submitted a leave request for Monday in the OA system. Then, under the guise of demand analysis, he had detailed discussions with colleagues in the sales department. He primarily gained a basic understanding of online distributors and e-commerce operations. These frontline salespeople had the most contact with channel customers and the most knowledge.

Returning to his workstation, Tang Song organized the information he had gathered over the past two days, solidifying his entrepreneurial direction.

Clothing live-streaming e-commerce.

This was currently the industry model with the highest survival and success rates. E-commerce platforms broke regional limitations, reduced operational costs, minimized intermediaries, and improved efficiency. Through big data analysis, potential consumer groups could be identified more accurately, optimizing inventory management and reducing the risk of stockpiling.

Given his current situation, it would be highly feasible if Gao Mengting, an industry insider, could assist.
