That night, with rain pouring down, Bai Yeke was swept out of her home. Although she came from a wealthy family that had suddenly come into riches overnight, her sexual orientation was deemed "...
Chapter 20 Today was truly a chaotic day for the celebrity. ...
Bai Ye was surprised as soon as she entered the store.
I knew that the news of Yi Sheng's renovation completion would be announced today, and I also expected the store to do some publicity, but this is the first time I've seen such a large-scale event.
Small colorful flags were everywhere, and the store introduction on the pillars at the entrance had been changed, with a special space reserved for her photo.
As she walked up the stairs, some colleagues greeted her with smiles, while others she wasn't familiar with nodded to her and whispered something to each other.
The on-site signing and designers' offices were on the same floor. On her way to the office, she saw that the walls of the lobby had been repatriated with new posters. She used to be ranked very low among the designers, but now she has been added to the first row and entered the ranks of star designers.
As Bai Yeke sat down, He Xin leaned over and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, even a carp leaping over the dragon gate can't compare to this!"
"Ha." Bai Ye laughed, "You're making fun of me too."
He Xin sighed, "I'm really envious and jealous. In one day, he walked a path that we might not be able to walk in many years."
"How are you feeling?" He Xin was Bai Yeke's closest colleague, so she was able to adjust her mindset easily.
"It feels good," Bai Yeke replied truthfully.
He Xin couldn't help but sigh again, feeling melancholic.
“I would be happy too.” He Xin patted Bai Yeke’s arm. “Look at the conference room, the sales team arrived early and are having a meeting inside.”
Bai Ye asked curiously, "Is it really that exaggerated?"
“Young man,” He Xin said, feigning maturity, “we have a tough battle to fight today.”
Bai Ye remained noncommittal, feeling that the effects wouldn't be so quick.
"Look." He Xin saw the store manager walking over and gestured to Bai Yeke, "It seems that you, the main character, also need to go and listen to the instructions."
The store manager came out of the conference room, presumably after giving a pep talk. Inside, the department heads continued to chair the meeting. The store manager and Bai Ye made eye contact, and he waved to each other.
Bai Yeke hurried over.
"Keep a calm mindset. The most important thing right now is not to rush," the store manager advised. "Recently, the sales department will frequently need your cooperation. Just deal with one customer at a time and don't panic and mess up your rhythm."
"Okay, sure."
With just a few words, Bai Yeke was released. She had originally thought that the effect of this representative case would appear gradually, but now the atmosphere in the store made her a little nervous. She picked up her water glass and drank some water to calm herself down.
In fact, Bai Yeke's initial thought was correct; the effect of the hype shouldn't have been so rapid.
The news was released at 10:00 AM, unlike the last time the two brands collaborated, when both released advertisements.
But today is the first day of the home improvement festival, and customers who had previously expressed interest have flocked here for the festival's discounts. As soon as they arrived, they were attracted by the store's brand-new posters.
Salespeople led customers to the lobby one after another, handing out brochures and calling out to designers they knew.
"Has your designer, Bai Yeke, designed anything for Yi Sheng?"
"Oh, right, our teacher Bai is very talented in design. Miss Yi immediately chose her to design the video for her new house."
"Is Miss Yi satisfied with what she did?"
"Of course, of course! Miss Yi is very satisfied. It's already finished, and there should be news about it online. You can see!"
"Oh, that's not bad."
The atmosphere at the scene was enthusiastic.
Gradually, the customer also made some requests.
"Do you have the completed drawings of Miss Yi's apartment? I'd like to see them."
"What styles does Mr. Bai usually specialize in? I'd like to know. It would be great if you could show me some real photos of Ms. Yi's home."
The salespeople explained, "As you know, we can't publish photos of a customer's home without permission, since everyone values privacy, and Ms. Yi is a high-ranking person."
"Yes, professional ethics are quite important. I value reputable brands."
"However, could you please apply for permission? It's not like we're visiting a show flat, it's just taking pictures."
Sales staff began submitting requests to their superiors in an effort to secure orders, while department heads would first appease their employees and then submit their requests to the store manager.
The store manager was overwhelmed by the phone calls and inquiries.
It was clearly headquarters' idea to use Baiyeke as the brand name, but the store manager couldn't very well ask headquarters if he could contact Yi Sheng to make it public. Right now, he could only ask Baiyeke if he could communicate with Yi Sheng.
Just then, Bai Ye finished selecting materials for a previous customer and was walking by with a pen in hand when the store manager quickly grabbed her, calling out, "Xiao Bai!"
Amidst the bustling crowd, Bai Ye was pondering a customer's suggestion about drilling air conditioning holes in a cabinet when she didn't notice someone approaching. Caught off guard, she was suddenly grabbed and discovered it was the store manager.
"Huh?" she responded instinctively.
The store manager waved his phone at her, "People in the group have been asking about this, and my phone has been ringing non-stop. It's a bit troublesome for me to try to get help from headquarters. Could you ask Ms. Yi if she could release the actual photos?"
“Oh.” Bai Yeke immediately understood. “It should be okay to make it public.”
After all, Yi Sheng had previously told her to use the video channel, so it's highly likely that the stores would also agree to use it.
The store manager was both delighted and worried. "Are you sure? Don't say 'it should'!"
"Let me ask." Bai Yeke took out her phone, then suddenly realized, "Oh, she's on a business trip, so I'm not sure when she'll see the message."
?
The store manager was completely baffled. "How did you know she was on a business trip?"
Bai Yeke pursed her lips, skipping over the question, and said, "It's out."
Upon hearing this, the store manager hesitated, not wanting to press Yi Sheng too much, and could only wait.
The event was packed today. Even at lunchtime, there were still five or six customers asking questions. The staff brought over boxed lunches, so the sales staff and customers ate together and continued their discussions.
Bai Yeke finished her lunch and was about to return to her workstation to rest when a colleague holding an empty lunchbox grabbed her arm. "Teacher Bai!"
"Okay." Bai Yeke replied. She had just received Yi Sheng's reply, which was exactly the same as before—you decide what to do.
Her colleague looked at her expectantly, "How's it going? My client is very interested in Mr. Yi's house, and the store manager said to wait for your news!"
Bai Yeke slightly avoided his hand and smiled, "It's okay to go public."
!
With the naked eye, this colleague's eyes lit up!
As soon as Bai Yeke replied to the store manager's message, the news had already spread throughout the group. You could even hear the excited cheers of the sales staff waiting for the message and accompanying customers in the lobby.
Bai Yeke also met with two clients this morning, but nothing has been finalized yet.
In the afternoon, thanks to the real-life photos, sales staff kept contacting Baiyeke to ask if they could arrange a design.
If every client that a salesperson connects with signs up with Baiye, this queue will soon be overflowing with orders.
Zhang Xiaoli was already handling the emergency, diverting customers brought in by the sales department. Although she was busy and in a mess, Zhang Xiaoli couldn't hide her joy. The entire design department had benefited from the increased traffic.
She coordinated with the sales manager, saying, "We can use Xiao Bai's booth for the displays, so people know the significance of our store. For signing contracts, we should try to recommend established designers!"
"Yes, yes, yes, Xiao Bai's line is full soon, and it will be difficult to operate under any circumstances."
“Okay, we’ll cooperate fully.” Zhang Xiaoli sat at a workstation, her high heels clicking on the floor a few times, and laughed, “Yes, let’s close more deals and everyone will get a higher commission.”
Bai Yeke continued to revise the client's design at her workstation, the mouse clicking rapidly across the screen. She could sense the atmosphere of the entire store, but her work was still carried out in an orderly manner.
My phone suddenly vibrated just as I was about to leave work.
The store manager called, but he wasn't in the store; he must have been socializing. "Xiao Bai, remember to reserve a few seats for us. Some higher-ups might specifically request you for business dealings!"
"Okay, I understand."
Bai Yeke calmly agreed.
Actually, she was quite surprised.
In just one day, her fame reached the point where she could be used to provide networking services for headquarters.
Traffic and publicity are truly powerful.
She knew that Yi Sheng was very famous and that she could take advantage of his fame to benefit from it, but she never expected it to come to this.
Bai Yeke, carrying her laptop, followed the crowd home from get off work. The sky outside the store was a vibrant orange-red, and cars streamed endlessly across the ground.
Bai Ye took a deep breath of fresh air.
When she got home, she still felt a little unfamiliar with the place.
Yesterday's arrival was too rushed, and there wasn't even time to register fingerprints or facial recognition. Yi Sheng only told her about the access card placed in the entryway and the door password.
Bai Yeke entered the room, put the access card back on the tray, and had just changed into slippers when Yi Sheng sent her a message.
A life of simplicity: It seems Designer Bai has a lot of orders today.
Bai Yeke had previously asked Yi Sheng for permission to make her account public, but Yi Sheng only replied after a while. It seems that now that she's off work, Yi Sheng has finally finished his work and has time to chat with her.
Coconut Cola: Yes.
Congratulations on your life of simplicity.
Coconut Coke: Happy and slightly painful.
Today was truly a chaotic and turbulent day.
A life of simplicity: His tail is wagging.
Coconut Cola: Shy.jpg
Coconut Cola: Are you coming back tomorrow?
A life of simplicity: Hmm.
Coconut Cola: Are you coming back for dinner?
To live a simple life: That's acceptable.
Bai Ye raised an eyebrow slightly at the "yes". What kind of answer is this? If you want to reply, then reply; if you don't want to reply, then don't reply. A simple "yes" implies that Miss Yi is hard to get an appointment with.
However, Bai Yeke smiled slightly, feeling that she didn't mind Miss Yi being coy with her.
Coconut Cola: What dishes would you like to eat?
Bai Ye herself felt that the statement about being of marriageable age was somewhat subtle, but it seemed quite normal in the context of how things were going.
A life of simplicity: You decide what to do.
As expected, she said that again. Bai Yeke chuckled and thought about it seriously.
She was worried she wouldn't have time to finish get off work tomorrow, so she chose a pickup point now and ordered groceries online in advance.
As for meat, I'm afraid it won't be fresh if I order it online or buy it after get off work.
She seemed to remember there was a supermarket near the subway station, so she decided to buy a live fish tomorrow after get off work if she needed to rush.
