Chapter 135: Chapter 134 Unlucky for 8 lifetimes! Chapter 135: Chapter 134 Unlucky for 8 lifetimes! [Luck Buff] Still in effect... “Don’t go anywhere, folks in the live streaming room, we’ll be giving away 20 prizes at 10 o’clock, including this ladies’ wallet I have here.” “It’s made of top layer cowhide, from a major brand’s new collection, simple and clean in design, with excellent craftsmanship. Alright, let’s continue with the next item and remember the prize draw coming up.” “This one is a Vivian oatmeal color base layer, which includes wool. The original price is 500 yuan, complete with tags for gifting. It fits anyone from 100 to 115 jin, and today, for our first broadcast benefit, it’s only 89 yuan.” ... In the live streaming room, the host Gao Mengting and her co-host He Liting keep the atmosphere buoyant with their smiles and energy. Outside of the camera’s view, Tang Song is seated on a stool, his gaze fixed on the data dashboard on his computer. Live streaming room’s transaction amount: ¥47,034; number of transactions: 481; average number of online viewers: 1,328; new followers: 876. Since their main sales focus is on clearance stock, many of the clothes are unique items. Coupled with genuinely good prices, every piece they offer gets snapped up quickly. In the comments, many people are saying “couldn’t grab it” and “please add more.” “President Tang,” the stage manager Zhao Zhiming says with a fiery look in his eyes: “Our data is outstandingly good, and the average viewing time far exceeds expectations. This means the customers we’re attracting with our live stream are our target audience. As long as we retain this group, our base will be solid.” Liu Renjie, who’s immersed in cutting live footage and streaming it, chimes in excitedly: “Not just live data, the video’s data are also excellent. Now, the biggest issue is that we don’t have enough clothes to sell.” Tang Song nods, noting that according to this trajectory, their first live broadcasting session is a complete success. Picker Li Xiaoyu runs over and says quietly: “President Tang, we’ve already brought out all the clothes prepared in the storeroom. President Gao had already tagged them; they’re ready to be sold at any time.” “Okay, get ready, I feel we’ll be able to end the broadcast soon.” As Songmei Clothing’s little store is still in its novice phase, Douyin imposes a sales limit, allowing a maximum of 1,000 items sold per day. However, as long as the ratings and sales volume meet the criteria, it won’t be long before they move beyond the novice phase. This is why they are using the clearance stock for their debut broadcast; the items have higher value, come from big brands, and offer great value for the price, making them perfect for establishing their presence. Next, he plans to take a trip to Jinxiu Commerce. Now, as a technical consultant and part-time CTO, he could fully utilize this relationship to get inventory directly from the company at low prices. Even though he knows where to find the lowest prices for certain items, direct suppliers would certainly not offer the best prices to a startup like Songmei Clothing. However, purchasing through Jinxiu Commerce allows him to quickly obtain the desired inventory, saving a significant amount of time. With these thoughts in mind, Tang Song opens his phone with a pleasant mood. He checks his Douyin data. A week has passed since he posted his last fingerstyle guitar video, and naturally, the traffic to his video had been waning. But with the boost from the Luck Buff, it flared up again. Current play count: 4 million+; likes: 130,000+; comments: 20,000+. Current follower count: 34,489 It seems highly necessary to shoot a new video, preferably to be released this afternoon. He has nearly sorted out his ideas for the new video. This time, he doesn’t plan to use a guitar. The audience for fingerstyle guitar is after all quite limited; it’s time to attract new user groups. The inspiration comes from a viral video on the internet. It mainly involves placing hands on the collar and switching through a series of suits in sync with the hand movements. He just so happens to have a variety of high-quality suits in his wardrobe, ready to use. However, his hands look a bit plain now; it would be best to buy a ring to serve as decoration and embellishment. Next, Tang Song opens Little Red Book to check his stats: current follower count: 7,156. He opens the system interface to check the details of the title “popular me.” [Current cash reward: 1,391,400 yuan (total of 3,850,000 yuan)] Although it’s nowhere near Douyin, it is steadily increasing. He clicks “Withdraw Now.” “Ding—” [Balance: 2,055,400 yuan] His balance surpasses 2 million yuan for the first time, a cause for celebration. ... Outside the gates of Oasis Garden Community. A black Audi A6L quietly sits by the roadside. Wang Liyu sits inside, his gaze fixated on the exit of the underground garage, waiting for the appearance of Wen Ruan’s pink Lynk & Co 06. He got a sharp new haircut last night, bought flowers early this morning, sprayed some breath freshener, and even brought along his home’s little Chinchilla cat. Wen Ruan likes cats, but her mother is allergic to cat hair, so she never kept one. He had specially bought this Chinchilla from a pet shop a while ago for nearly ten thousand yuan, purebred. With a gentle personality, soft fur, and a sweet and adorable appearance. It is the best prop for bridging their relationship. Recently, he’s also been learning about fitness and cycling. With flowers, a kitten, and shared interests, he believes she will gradually develop a liking for him. All was ready. Now, they just had to wait for the other party to leave so that they could drive to Creative Park together. Upon arriving at the parking lot, he would casually ask her to take care of the kitten. Then, he would say, “This kitten doesn’t have a name yet, can you help name it?” Next, he would present the flowers, and they would chat and laugh while petting the cat—a truly beautiful scene! He had joined Light and Shadow Media after the New Year and hadn’t interacted much with Wen Ruan, not even in private. He felt that her current rejection was simply due to a lack of understanding. This team-building exercise was an excellent opportunity. Amidst intermittent contemplation, time ticked away. “Meow meow meow—” the kitten in the passenger-side carrier woke up. Wang Liyu quickly snapped back to reality and looked at his watch. 10:11. Why hasn’t she come out yet? They were supposed to arrive at Creative Park at ten-thirty for the team-building event! At 9 a.m., Wen Ruan had clearly stated in the team-building group chat that she would be driving there. The garage entrance and exit of Oasis Garden were right there. That didn’t make sense! After hesitating for a while, Wang Liyu took out his phone and called Wen Ruan. “Doot doot doot—” The phone rang for a long time without an answer. What’s going on? Wang Liyu felt a bit anxious. He quickly made a call to Zhang Xintong, Wen Ruan’s closest colleague. “Hello, Xintong.” “No particular reason, just wanted to ask if Wen Ruan has arrived at Creative Park.” “She hasn’t arrived yet? Then has she set off now?” “You don’t know either, huh? Okay, then carry on with your work. If she arrives, remember to let me know, okay?” “Sure, goodbye.” After ending the call, Wang Liyu looked at the kitten next to him meowing and felt a wave of frustration and confusion. He was in a bit of a quandary now, unsure whether she hadn’t left yet or if she was already on the road. He waited another while. “Ring ring ring—” His phone started ringing. It was Zhang Xintong. He hurriedly answered, “Hello, Xintong.” From the other end came Zhang Xintong’s laughter, “Director Wang, Wen Ruan has already arrived, riding a road bike. I’ve sent you the news—remember to treat me to a meal later.” Wang Liyu’s mouth twitched, and he said with a dry voice, “Okay, thanks, Xintong.” He hung up the phone. Wang Liyu rubbed his face, feeling a headache coming on. What was supposed to be a well-laid plan had hit such a snag. Forget it, just let it be. He would find a chance when they got to Creative Park; after all, he had his own arrangements there. “Vroom vroom vroom—” The vehicle started. Wang Liyu turned the steering wheel all the way to the left and started a U-turn. “Screech—” A harsh braking noise sounded. There was a “thud”— The car shook, and the side mirror on the driver’s side broke off as a white car stopped in front of him. “Fuck! Today is just incredibly unlucky!” The usually genteel Wang Liyu couldn’t help but curse. What the hell is going on today? Why is this team-building trip so problematic? He just lost focus for a moment, and he happened to run into some speed demon! “Beep beep beep—” He honked furiously, “Damn it, driving so fast—are you rushing to die?” As soon as he finished speaking, three burly men jumped out of the white car. Swearing and cursing, tattoos and gold chains adorned their bodies. Wang Liyu broke out in a cold sweat and quickly locked his car from the inside. He dialed the police.
