Anyone seeing you would think you went to Sichuan to learn face-changing—you go from frowning to grinning so wide your eyes vanish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen put away his phone and asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t I be happy about something?” Song Yuncheng replied with a faint smile, stubborn as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you prepared the visit materials for Spotify?” Chen Yansen asked casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His trip to Norway was indeed 99% for fun, and only 1% to discuss music copyright cooperation for short videos with Spotify.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spotify has over 20 million active users worldwide, with paid subscribers accounting for about 25%, and it holds considerable influence in Europe and America—Alexa smart speakers source their audio content from Spotify.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this music platform’s headquarters is in Stockholm, Sweden!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Correct—not in Norway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Chen Zong’s excuse for this business trip was utterly flimsy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know much about music licensing in Europe and America, so I asked Wang Teng for some materials—I’m not sure if they meet your needs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yuncheng admitted honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem, just email them to me,” Chen Yansen waved dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay,” Song Yuncheng immediately returned to her professional demeanor the moment work was mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First fly to Copenhagen, then transfer to Oslo—this damn place in Norway is so remote.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen leaned back against his chair, unable to resist complaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I checked online—it’s the perfect season to see the aurora,” Song Yuncheng murmured, lips slightly parted, eyes gleaming with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s plenty to do—aurora is just one thing. Skiing, hunting, sea trips—they’re all fun too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen added calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his past life, he’d taken many girlfriends there—the scenery was always the same, but the girls sleeping beside him changed, so every experience felt different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some tight, some bouncy, some short—each had its own charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sounds like you’ve been there before,” Song Yuncheng laughed lightly, asking without real interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen smiled faintly and said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only at ten-thirty at night did the boarding announcement come over the loudspeaker; the two passed through the express lane and walked onto the jet bridge into the cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a flight lasting over ten hours, Chen Yansen wouldn’t suffer—he booked first class outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the window, the vast airport runway lay dark, save for rows of guiding lights still glowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty minutes later, the plane slowly taxied, then lifted, ascending into the stratosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, Chen Yansen slowly opened his eyes—he was still on the plane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Song Yuncheng was half-asleep, her upper eyelid fluttering once—before he could speak, she fell asleep again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen turned on the Airbus TV in front of him, put on headphones, picked a movie at random, just to kill time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than sixty after-sales repair staff from Orange Phone Factory, pushing suitcases, departed from Shencheng toward Jin Ling, Hu Cheng, Yanjing, and Hangcheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On October 1st, Orange Tech will open its first batch of offline direct-operated stores in provincial capitals across North China, East China, and South China.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, to comprehensively showcase Orange Phones, Mos Smart Speakers, Bluetooth headphones, power banks, and phone accessories, offering users hands-on trials to strengthen purchase confidence;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, to supplement online sales channels by meeting immediate purchase demands—especially for middle-aged and elderly users unfamiliar with online shopping or those needing to inspect goods in person;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although e-commerce in 2012 was growing rapidly, offline sales of smartphones still accounted for over half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third, to interact directly with users, collect product feedback and market demands, and feed insights back into R&D and improvement;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, to provide services like phone repairs, screen film application, and system upgrades, resolving after-sales pain points and enhancing brand trust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before this, Orange Phone users had to mail their devices back to Shencheng’s repair department; although Orange Tech covered shipping costs, for users needing quick service, the turnaround time was too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Li, when you’ve got time, come to Jin Ling and let me treat you to a foot bath—the second-floor kind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get lost! You’re young—why not save your money to buy a house instead?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the waiting hall, Li Yunzhu scolded his colleague impatiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was eighteen, had worked at Orange Phone Factory for over a year—first half spent screwing parts on the production line; later, his workshop supervisor, impressed by his youth and quick mind, sent him to after-sales to learn phone repair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the supervisor put it: “You’re not even twenty—do you really want to screw screws your whole life? The company gave you an opportunity—you’ve got to grab it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Li Yunzhu wasn’t happy about the transfer—during training, his monthly fixed income was only four thousand, nothing compared to his previous seven or eight thousand pre-tax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But three months later, his view changed completely—he felt deep gratitude toward the supervisor who had pointed him the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because after earning the outstanding graduate certificate from after-sales, the company set his base salary at six thousand, and with commissions and performance bonuses, he easily cleared ten thousand a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like only two or three thousand more, but his work environment improved—he no longer worked overtime daily. His previous high income came from 120 to 140 overtime hours every month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Houses are too expensive—foot baths are cheaper,” the colleague chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, my flight’s boarding—I’ll see you in Hu Cheng, I’ll treat you to jianbingbao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the announcement, Li Yunzhu jumped up, ready to leave, and before departing, added generously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jianbingbao? Brother Li, can you be any more generous?” The colleague rolled his eyes, speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can I be like you? I’ve two younger sisters in school—if I don’t save, where will the money go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunzhu grabbed his luggage, waved goodbye, and strode toward the boarding gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Li, how about I become your brother-in-law and help ease your burden?” the colleague shouted after his back. Li Yunzhu turned, opened his mouth, and said one word—too far to hear, but the lip movement made it clear: it was “Go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The colleague grinned and waved back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among this batch of repair trainees, only he and Li Yunzhu had the lowest education—everyone else had associate’s or bachelor’s degrees; where there are people, there’s hierarchy; where there’s hierarchy, there’s disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they were both determined enough—low education didn’t mean low ability; both had strong hands-on skills, sharp observation, and enough patience and attention to detail, so they progressed rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past three or four months, their superb repair skills had earned them recognition even within the massive after-sales department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, how could they have become the first batch of direct-store repair engineers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All thanks to their own ability!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of kilometers away, in Hu Cheng, Jinling Road Pedestrian Street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brand-new, two-hundred-square-meter Orange Smart Experience Center, filled with tech aesthetics, was being prepared in orderly fashion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staff placed samples of Orange C1, C2, C3, D1, and Qingcheng D1S on display shelves; remaining products included Mos Smart Speakers, Bluetooth headphones, power banks, and various phone accessories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Few products, lots of space!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tourists passing by couldn’t help but glance up at the store sign, then pause, peering curiously inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Has Orange Tech opened a physical store?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This must be a direct-operated store—the sign has No. 000001.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder when it opens?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go ask!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few young people chatted briefly at the entrance, then walked inside together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother, is this an authorized store or a direct-operated one?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When does it open?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Store manager Xu Hao put down his work and smiled: “It’s already open—official opening is tomorrow at nine a.m., since our after-sales repair staff are still en route.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Will there be promotions tomorrow?” the young man pressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re a direct-operated store—prices are the same online and offline, but we’ll give away phone accessories—for example, buy an Orange C3 and get a free Bluetooth headset worth ninety-nine yuan,” Xu Hao replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can we try them out first?” the young people asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course—feel free,” Xu Hao smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow! This is a 64GB Orange C3—I’ve always wanted one, but it’s too expensive. The feel is amazing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Qingcheng D1S is good too—only 999 yuan. The processor’s weaker, but I don’t game—this screen is perfect for reading novels.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look! The Mos Smart Speaker is only 799 yuan—I heard it’s huge overseas!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passersby, upon confirming the Orange Smart Experience Center was open, stepped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From August 6, 2011, to September 30, 2012, Orange Tech sold thirty million smartphones, already completing its user base accumulation—many potential customers were already interested in Orange Phones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who never got into online shopping now had a direct store to experience Orange Phone performance firsthand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the product was good, buying on the spot saved waiting for delivery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first batch of direct stores totaled only thirty-two, concentrated in core commercial zones of East China, South China, and North China; if results met expectations, they’d expand outward until covering all 149 municipal cities along the southeast coast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yunsu Express service stations in Hui’an, Qilu, Sujiang, and Xijiang had grown from over two hundred to over six hundred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each day, they sold ten to twenty thousand Orange Phones in township markets—mostly low-end models like Orange D1 and Qingcheng D1S—but they also promoted Pinbei Mall alongside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chunshen, Shao Bei Town, Yunsu Service Station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Lei and Hu Peng—one sold phones, the other taught customers how to download the Pinbei app and claim free eggs—clear division of labor, full of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For every new Pinbei user referred, the company rewards eight yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The permanent population of Shaobei Town is over sixty thousand; after excluding the elderly and children, there are at least twenty thousand potential customers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After working all morning, Hu Peng glanced over and immediately exclaimed, “Lei Ge, guess how many new users we signed up this morning?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Twenty?” Wu Lei guessed randomly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Twenty-seven,” Hu Peng said, holding up his fingers to show the number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today’s market day brought in people from over a dozen nearby villages; tomorrow, ten would be good enough.” Wu Lei sat on the chair, sniffed, and reached for a cigarette—but remembered the company rules, pulled Hu Peng outside, and continued chatting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ten’s not bad—we’d each get forty yuan,” Hu Peng said happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where else in the county would you get a deal like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d asked his old colleagues—the Yunsu outlet in the county doesn’t sell phones or recruit new app users.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Lei pulled out a pack of Huangshan, offered Hu Peng a cigarette, then lit one for himself, took a deep drag, and said, “Don’t just think about side income. The company sent us here to increase parcel pickup volume. If we don’t meet targets, the service station could get shut down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, I’ve got a plan. There’s a grain and oil processing plant in town—I’ll go tomorrow and convince them to open a Pinbei store. If sales take off, our business volume is secured.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Peng leaned against the wall, staring at Shaobei Middle School across the street, lost in thought. After several seconds, he spoke slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grain and oil plant? Fine, go give it a try,” Wu Lei nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already planning to find the local Agricultural Association tomorrow and urge them to set up a Pinbei store—to put Shaobei’s peanuts, Lu Ding eggs, and salted fish onto e-commerce platforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, the service station’s pickup revenue would be secure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1951,"2026-06-19T19:17:19.606Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b909a9517831cb1a6549dd9cf5ab31d01e02b6c4907301f576cf4843fad87e33","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-316","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-314",387,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-cover.jpg"]
