You guys enjoy. I’m heading to the library.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen chuckled as he commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aqiang went to buy beer and snacks.

He needed only to read its dictionary once, then watch one original-language film, and he could deduce its pronunciation logic and grammar, mastering it completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t learning—it was talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This effortless understanding made Chen Yansen enjoy absorbing new knowledge simply to pass the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leiyi Army hosted representatives from Qiming, Temasek, and Qualcomm Capital in Yanjing; after two days of negotiations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaomi ultimately accepted its Series B funding: 160 million USD, with a valuation of 2 billion USD.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news spread, and Xiaomi phone sales immediately rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Xiaomi phones had many shortcomings compared to Orange Phones, they remained an excellent product in terms of cost-performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least in the 2,000-yuan price tier, aside from Orange Phones, there were almost no rivals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Chen Yansen heard this, he didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His rivals were never Xiaomi—they were Apple and Samsung.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Orange Tech, this was merely the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen left the faculty apartment and drove to Zhuxianzhuang Tech Park.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He first went to Building 8, held a morning meeting with Wang Teng, Gao Weilin, Zhang Cong, Zhou Ze, and others, then went downstairs to Building 6, where Pinbei was located.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, good morning!” Xu Xingxing was briefing a new receptionist, Zhang Yi, on first-floor duties; she turned and smiled at Chen Yansen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi was a graduate of Xu Yuan’s Hotel Management program—tall, beautiful, and quickly added, “Boss, good morning!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Morning,” Chen Yansen nodded and stepped into the elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Group Leader Xu, does the boss have a girlfriend?” Zhang Yi whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t even think about it—his girlfriend works right across at Orange Tech.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xingxing glanced at Zhang Yi and spoke honestly, to shatter any unrealistic fantasies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen stepped out of the elevator into the Design Department’s workspace and noticed Song Yuncheng was there too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s work hours—why aren’t you at your post?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen walked up and asked suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Xuejie started today—I came to say hello,” Song Yuncheng turned, saw Chen Yansen, and smiled in explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chief Chen, hello again,” Jiang Ruo looked nervous, her speech halting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She never imagined the freshman who once sold phone cards on campus a year ago had now become her boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, with her resume, she’d never have gotten into Pinbei Tech without Song Yuncheng’s internal referral.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, good morning!” At that moment, Design Department Director Cai Qiming stepped forward with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was from Taiwan, had moved to the mainland five years ago for livelihood, previously served as Design Director at JD.com, and was poached by Xiong Li with a high salary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Has the product identity design for Pinbei been finalized?” Chen Yansen asked Cai Qiming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Qiming spoke softly, was highly competent, and had high emotional intelligence; since joining, he’d already uncovered the backgrounds of over a dozen veterans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So even though Jiang Ruo’s design skills fell slightly short of the standard, Cai Qiming still approved her hiring through HR.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Song Yuncheng was Pinbei’s #1 employee, brought over from FoxTaobao by the boss himself, and still headed the Major Client Acquisition Department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Qiming was happy to grant that favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, I prepared four design options—I’ve emailed them to you. If you need adjustments, just let me know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Qiming, familiar with mainland bosses’ working style, replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\" Chen Yansen nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he brought Song Yuncheng back to the office, sat down, and asked: \"Have the group-buy products for Metersbonwe, Jiushen Network, and Senma been finalized?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are 47 items total, priced 5% to 20% lower than Fox Tao ’s final price. Also, Yunsu sent people to Metersbonwe’s headquarters factory—future Metersbonwe orders on Pinbei, if shipped via Yunsu, will have a minimum order value of just 3 yuan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These external coordination tasks are currently handled by Song Yuncheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about Tencent?\" Chen Yansen asked next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The integration is complete; we’re just waiting for the products to go live,\" Song Yuncheng replied immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yifeng, Yuan Wei, and Li Hui have reached agreements with local agricultural associations in western Guangdong. They’ll start with navel oranges: fruits under 7 cm in diameter, 3 jin shipped free for 9.9 yuan; 7–8 cm diameter, 3 jin shipped free for 13.9 yuan; over 8 cm diameter, 4 jin shipped free for 19.9 yuan; 8 jin size at 36.9 yuan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yuncheng didn’t wait for Chen Yansen to ask—he continued reporting on the business development team’s status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s the lowest price per jin for secondary-grade fruit from the origin?\" Chen Yansen pressed after listening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"0.6 yuan per jin,\" Song Yuncheng answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fruit cost is 1.8 yuan, Yunsu’s agricultural support shipping is 3 yuan, three-layer corrugated cardboard fruit boxes cost 2.2 to 3 yuan, plus labor for packing—all under 8 yuan total.
