Then forget it,” Chen Yansen replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, Xiaomi wasn’t essential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the platform’s positioning, OPPO, Meizu, Coolpad, and ZTE’s mid-to-low-end models better matched Pinbei’s character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you had dinner? I want to treat you,” Song Yuncheng asked quickly, sensing Chen Yansen was about to hang up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you win the lottery?” Chen Yansen paused, then laughed in reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yuncheng had treated him to meals before, but always under his pressure—this was the first time she’d offered voluntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I just want to thank you sincerely,” Song Yuncheng said, standing on the balcony, gazing at the office on the fifth floor across the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since becoming Pinbei’s Key Client Director, while communicating with subordinates from Taobao, JD.com, and Yihaodian, she realized everything Chen Yansen had taught her were industry and workplace essentials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had thought herself unfit for the director role, only to find that these elites from major e-commerce firms had weaker negotiation skills and problem-solving abilities than she had half a year ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Song Yuncheng realize that Chen Yansen’s seemingly offhand methodologies were invaluable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t you already thank me last night in Room 0418?” Chen Yansen walked to the window, waved at Song Yuncheng across the way, and teased with a smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chen Yansen, how can you even bring that up? You’re untrustworthy!” Song Yuncheng’s cheeks flushed red as she scolded angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Meet me downstairs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen hung up laughing and stepped out of his office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing the Finance Department, he saw Meng Jie still focused at her desk organizing data—he didn’t disturb her and walked straight into the elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the first floor, Chen Yansen slid into the driver’s seat of his Aston Martin Rapide, about to urge Song Yuncheng down, when he saw her sneaking over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Click!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yuncheng yanked open the car door and hurried inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You look like a thief caught in the act—spill it, did you steal something from the company?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen eyed her, teasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way! I’m just treating my boss to dinner—I’m not nervous!” Song Yuncheng lifted her chin, stubbornly insisting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minutes passed, and when Chen Yansen still didn’t start the car, Song Yuncheng grew anxious: “Go! Someone might see us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thud!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen raised his hand and tapped her head: “You’re treating me, yet you won’t even tell me where? Do you think I’m a fortune-teller?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?! I didn’t say?” Song Yuncheng grinned awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t ever call me your Master again—I don’t have such a dumb disciple,” Chen Yansen shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“City center, Fengbo Village,” Song Yuncheng replied with a dopey smile, naming the destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen started the car and drove toward the city center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Onboarding merchants for Pinbei is ten times harder than for FoxTao—brands like Estée Lauder, Armani, and Clarins won’t even give us a chance to talk once they hear ‘Pinbei.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yuncheng unconsciously drifted into work talk, her tone weary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Compared to offline counters and supermarkets, e-commerce has vastly different scale and profit margins—these global brands ignoring us is normal; they don’t even list on Taobao. They’ll come begging once online sales surpass offline.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen snorted softly, explaining slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Alibaba only established partnerships with Estée Lauder and Clarins after 2014.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I get it,” Song Yuncheng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drawing from her FoxTao experience, she knew the platform couldn’t rely solely on 5.9-yuan navel oranges—it needed high-ticket beauty and apparel brands to raise user value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the window, night was ink-black; distant neon lights flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yuncheng leaned back in her seat, silent, watching the street scenes blur past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After more than ten minutes, she realized they were going the wrong way and turned to ask: “We’re not supposed to take this road to Fengbo Village.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I switched to a pricier place,” Chen Yansen chuckled, as if it were obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...” Song Yuncheng opened her mouth, then forced a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car drove another ten minutes and pulled into a lavish restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Built in the Huizhou-style ancient mansion design—with blue bricks, black tiles, emerald water, and small bridges—the parking lot was filled with Mercedes, BMWs, and Audis; per-person spending was clearly high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Telecom’s Zhao Maolin took me here before—the ambiance was average, but the food was decent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen stepped out and told Song Yuncheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Average?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yuncheng stared at the palace-like restaurant and rolled her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Chen, your private room is ready—please follow me,” a beautiful woman in a phoenix-tail silk dress smiled and approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen gave a slight nod, saying nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yuncheng glanced around and noticed the waitstaff all wore ancient costumes, like a massive cosplay event—many guests had also donned long robes and silk skirts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Feel like trying it?” Chen Yansen had no interest himself, but seeing Song Yuncheng staring at others’ long skirts, he smiled and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No thanks,” Song Yuncheng shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take her to pick out one,” Chen Yansen told the woman leading them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, I’ll take you both to your private room first,” the woman smiled and agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yuncheng, seeing this, no longer refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They entered the antique-style private room, where all furniture was made of rosewood, with soft cushions on the chairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once seated, through the gaps in the stained-glass windows, they could see dancers in long skirts performing gracefully on a nearby stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In 2011, running a restaurant this elaborately in a third- or fourth-tier city meant the owner was a true expert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yuncheng followed the restaurant staff toward the changing room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen picked up the teapot and poured hot tea into the cups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Vibrating—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His phone suddenly buzzed in his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chen Yansen, are you off work? I texted you and you didn’t reply,” Meng Jie stood on the first floor of the tech park, sounding hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, I’m tied up with Telecom—just didn’t check my phone,” Chen Yansen made up an excuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought to himself: Zhao Maolin’s recommendation of this ‘Mingli’ restaurant was spot-on—tomorrow I’ll bring Meng Jie here too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, then I’m heading back to campus. Bye,” Meng Jie, hearing he was busy, promptly hung up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen smiled, about to put his phone down, when Gao Wei’s call came through: “Boss, I just spoke with JD.com’s management—they have no intention of selling equity. It seems large-scale transactions or agreement transfers won’t work—we’ll have to buy slowly through the stock market.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days ago, Chen Yansen had sent Gao Wei to Lucheng to buy 5–10% equity in JD.com while its stock price was low, hoping to secure a foothold in what would become China’s top screen supplier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Assign people to buy from retail investors on the secondary market—5% is enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen spoke calmly; investing in JD.com was only to strengthen the supply chain—method didn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the Beijing and Lucheng capital behind JD.com held it in high regard, unwilling to part with even 5% equity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood, Boss. Also, there’s another matter: a food delivery project called KuaiPao at Lucheng University Town—the founder wants to meet you for funding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood, Boss. One more thing to report: there’s a food delivery project called Kuai Pao at Lucheng University Town, and its founder wants to meet you to seek funding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>KuaiPao?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen had never heard of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alongside Ele.me, there were many food delivery platforms, but most collapsed in early development before finding a viable business model.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This KuaiPao was likely one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But given Gao Wei’s nature, this project probably had some potential—otherwise he wouldn’t have mentioned it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then meet him,” Chen Yansen said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wei understood: though they’d been outmaneuvered by Ele.me last time, his boss’s interest in the food delivery sector had been revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wei had initially wanted to ignore it, but hearing it was food delivery, he’d felt compelled to investigate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’ll arrange it,” Gao Wei replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing their work talk, they hung up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Song Yuncheng walked in slowly, wearing a peony-embroidered hezi dress, radiant and stunning, her head ornaments swaying gently, emitting crisp silver bell chimes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you like it?” Song Yuncheng asked with a smile, seeing Chen Yansen staring at her, secretly pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can I buy this dress?” Chen Yansen didn’t answer, but asked instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I buy this outfit?\" Chen Yansen did not answer, but asked instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yuncheng’s words warmed his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most girls would ask “Does it look good?” but she asked “Do you like it?” placing herself low, solely hoping to make him happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I forgot to ask, hehe.” Song Yuncheng replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had an oval face adorned with stylish and elegant makeup, and for the first time, Chen Yansen felt truly struck by her beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two stayed at Mingli until half past eight, then drove to the Sky Garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they left, Song Yuncheng was still wearing that hezi dress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they entered the hotel room, she was about to change into her own clothes when Chen Yansen said: “Don’t change! I want exactly this feeling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen first dropped Song Yuncheng off at her dorm, then returned to the faculty apartment, changed into clean clothes, and drove to the Technology Park.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, in the reception hall of Building 8, Kang Guodong waited nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1802,"2026-06-19T19:17:18.227Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5a0fb46396921ce6a3ddc5bba486cd0a867f7e2ee10eb80f6429b46b0bca1b85","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-167","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-165",387,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-cover.jpg"]
