Chapter 10

"Click, click, click—" High heels tapped on the stone floor.

Xie Shuyu walked over gracefully, attracting all the gazes around her.

Men admired her sexy beauty, while women scrutinized her clothes and bag.

"Thump, thump—" Tang Song could clearly hear his own heartbeat, his hands subconsciously clenching.

Although he had done plenty of mental preparation, he still felt nervous when facing her in person.

It was a mix of shame over his previous awkward performance and a longing for beautiful things.

Ultimately, he was still an ordinary young man; although he had the system backing him, his mindset and vision were not yet up to par.

"Sister Shuyu." Tang Song took the initiative to greet her.

He could feel complex gazes converging on him.

The pressure was immense!

Since their last meeting was at Xie Shuyu's cafe, the impression was far less direct than today.

"Sorry, Little Song, I'm late." Xie Shuyu raised her hand to check her watch, her face full of apology: "There was a situation at one of the stores, so I went to handle it."

She was a very punctual person; when she had an appointment, she usually arrived ten minutes early.

"It's okay, I just arrived too." Tang Song smiled shyly.

They sat down face to face.

Xie Shuyu put away her coat and bag, and handed the menu directly to him: "See what you want to eat, don't be polite with me."

Tang Song waved his hand: "I've been losing weight recently. Why don't you order first, and just add a vegetable salad for me at the end."

Xie Shuyu looked him over for a moment and nodded gently: "No wonder I felt you'd lost some weight. Keep it up! I have a small appetite and have controlled my diet for years, so it looks like this meal will be very cost-effective for us today."

She hadn't actually paid much attention to the details of Tang Song's physique, but out of emotional intelligence and politeness, she still gave him a compliment.

"Fresh beef tendon with dew, seafood tofu soup, colorful garden, supreme cabbage, blanched shrimp, hmm, that's it." Xie Shuyu closed the menu casually and gave Tang Song a charming smile: "The calories are all very low, just consider it a fat-loss meal."

Her fluffy long hair draped from her shoulders to her chest, paired with her smooth waistline, making her a sight to behold.

"Thank you, Sister Shuyu." Tang Song tried hard to make his gaze look "clear and pure."

He always felt that when facing a woman like her, overly explicit admiration was a form of disrespect.

Xie Shuyu raised her pretty face: "No need to be so polite, this meal is my treat anyway. The mini-program is done very well, and the backend management is also very practical. I should be the one thanking you for patiently helping me change the requirements so many times during this period."

"It's all what I should do."

"What's impossible?" Hearing Zhao Yue's murmur, Wang Yubo asked in surprise.

Then he turned his head, followed Zhao Yue's gaze, and the expression on his face immediately became fascinating.

"Holy crap! No wonder Tang Song dressed so flashily!" Wang Yubo swallowed, his heart feeling like a volcanic eruption: "That... that can't possibly be his girlfriend, right!?"

Are you kidding? Putting these two together, they don't match at all, okay?

Although that woman looked young, her dress and temperament were clearly that of a top-tier mature woman.

Her height should be 175 cm, and with high heels, she was over 180, basically on par with Tang Song.

Compared to her, the beautiful colleague Zhao Yue in front of him became completely unremarkable.

This kind of woman is an explosive presence wherever she goes!

She is worlds apart from Tang Song, that fat otaku colleague!

Zhao Yue bit her lower lip, her expression extremely unnatural: "I don't think it's possible either. It's highly likely they're some kind of relatives or friends."

Wang Yubo said sourly: "Having such friends is also a kind of luck. She looks like she has a lot of money; definitely high-quality connections."

He worked in sales and had dealt with many bosses, big and small, so he had some discernment.

Immediately after, Zhao Yue also reacted.

Thinking about it carefully, how could Tang Song have such a girlfriend?

A 220,000 Yuan LV gilded Sahara, a whole outfit of luxury goods—they were completely not in the same social class.

I'm afraid Tang Song doesn't even qualify as a suitor; he's simply not good enough!

After comforting herself for a long while, Zhao Yue finally felt much better.

Calming her mood, she turned to ask: "Yubo, you said last time that our company is going to transition to e-commerce business. Is that true or false?"

This was the topic she cared about most.

Currently, Jinxiu Trading mainly engages in offline clothing agency sales, and their technical department is a peripheral support department that isn't highly valued.

If the company fully transitions to e-commerce, it would be an opportunity for them.

Business would increase, and salary and benefits would also increase accordingly; Jinxiu Trading has always been reliable in this regard.

Wang Yubo moved his gaze away from Xie Shuyu and took a sip of water.

He whispered: "It's not a transition, it's putting main energy into online channels to expand e-commerce business. This is absolutely true, and it has a big impact on our sales department. The financing intention has been reached. By the way, don't discuss this in the company; it's estimated it won't be announced until next month."

"Isn't this a good thing? Does it still need to be kept secret?" Zhao Yue was a bit puzzled.

"I'm not sure either. It's said that the boss gave the instruction personally, and discussing this matter is forbidden in the company."

"I see..." Zhao Yue frowned. Suddenly, a thread in her mind connected.

No wonder Director Chen has been so excited lately, desperately painting big pictures for everyone, and even taking all the credit for the SCM system.

No wonder Du Shaokai suddenly started working overtime, actively taking on work, and even snatched Tang Song's project maintenance work.

If the company transitions online, the SCM (Supply Chain Management) system will be the core of the entire company, and all business will be linked to it.

The technical support department will likely become an independent business unit and expand its scale.

Director Chen also has a chance to be promoted to CTO and officially become a company executive.

At that time, many middle-management positions will also open up.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yue felt her blood boiling; this was a great opportunity.

The dishes were served one by one, looking, smelling, and tasting delicious.

Xie Shuyu held her chopsticks with her porcelain-white fingers, tasting the food in small bites, and occasionally chatting with Tang Song about ideas for the mini-program and cafe promotion.

Talking about work, she became radiant.

Tang Song also understood why she had taken the time to have this meal with him.

He tentatively asked: "Sister Shuyu, do you mean... the Weiguang Cafe mini-program will continue to iterate, right?"

"Bingo!" Xie Shuyu rarely showed a playful expression: "Let's talk about business now."

"Okay."

Xie Shuyu sat up straight, her expression becoming much more serious, looking like a beautiful female leader in an urban drama.

"I plan to formally invite you to work part-time at my company, responsible for the maintenance of the website and mini-program, 3,000 Yuan per month, plus free coffee and juice. How about it? Consider it?"

"Uh..." A look of astonishment appeared on Tang Song's face.

He originally thought it was a one-off deal like last time; he didn't expect this sister to want to recruit him under her command.

But after a second thought, he understood.

Doing this is the most cost-effective choice for Xie Shuyu.

Worry-free, cost-saving, safe, and sustainable.

Of course, it's also a good thing for him; although it's a bit hard work, he can earn an extra 3,000 Yuan every month.

In Yancheng, a second-tier city, many people's salaries are still less than 3,000.

If it were the old him, he would have agreed without hesitation.

But now he is already on the path to becoming a male god, with a bright and brilliant future; the rewards from a single task far exceed this bit of part-time pay.

Tang Song weighed his words: "When do we sign the contract?"
