Chapter 30 Special Project Consultant
The smooth signing of Gao Wen and Xu Mei's contracts further fueled her enthusiasm for work, making her extremely motivated.
Her classes are now sold out as soon as they're listed, which means many long-time members can't attend. So, the library started offering live streams.
Gao Wen holds a large class every morning from 7:30 to 8:30, which is broadcast live and netizens can practice along with her.
She knows that today's market is all about traffic, which is a huge source of value but also a fleeting phenomenon. She believes that only through professionalism and sincerity can she win over netizens.
To appear more professional, Gao Wen would consider many things before preparing her lessons, and would repeatedly review the materials, trying her best to be more popular and recognized by everyone.
To everyone's surprise, what became popular first were the yoga outfits she was wearing.
Lin Siyue excitedly approached Gao Wen: "Sister Wenwen, merchants have asked you to promote their products!"
"Selling goods?" Gao Wen had never thought about selling any kind of goods. Isn't that what live-streaming e-commerce hosts do?
“Yes, the yoga outfits you're wearing are selling like hotcakes online, and stores are starting to run out of stock. Merchants are asking you to promote them.” Lin Siyue took out her phone and showed her the outfits. “This one, and this one, and this one too—every single one you've worn is selling like hotcakes!”
"Many merchants have contacted us through the back-end system, hoping you can help them promote their products!"
The revenue from live-streaming e-commerce is high.
With such massive traffic these days, you can monetize anything.
“I’m a yoga teacher, not some live-streaming salesperson,” Gao Wen knew what she had to do. She thought for a moment and said softly, “How about this, we’ll sell the brands that our studio often uses and that we like. If we can get a good discount, we can sell those. That way, people who need them can save some money and avoid making mistakes. We can leave the rest.”
The assistive devices and clothes they use are naturally selected from the best brands, offering the best value for money.
"Okay, I'll go talk to her right away!" Lin Siyue turned around and skipped away, her little braid swaying behind her head. Before entering the office, she peeked out and called out to Gao Wen, "Sister Wenwen!"
Gao Wen turned around.
Lin Siyue smiled broadly and made a gesture: "Go for it!"
She's been walking with a swagger lately.
From childhood, Lin Siyue was overshadowed by Lin Heng's excellence. Her family thought that since she was a girl, they didn't have too many expectations. It didn't matter if she was mediocre, didn't work or study. Everyone thought that she didn't need to work hard, she just needed to marry a good man.
Who would willingly be a useless person?
Now, she's gone from being seen as a lazy bum who lives off her parents to a promising soon-to-be graduate! It's astonishing, and her parents brag about it to everyone they meet!
"Keep it up!" Gao Wen said with a bright smile.
Lin Siyue also wanted to confess her love: "I love you, I love you!"
Gao Wen smiled, thinking she was such a cute little girl.
After Lin Siyue closed the door, Gao Wen also walked towards her small classroom, waiting for the members to come and attend class.
She was resting on a yoga mat when Fang Han sent her a message: [Image]
Gao Wen opened the message; it was a page from Xu Mei showing the final payment settlement to Fang Han.
She typed with a smile: "Mr. Fang, thank you for your hard work and contributions to our yoga studio!"
After becoming a hit, the yoga studio saw a surge in members.
If it were the previous class booking system, it would have crashed countless times.
The software designed by Fang Han not only meets their needs but is also very easy to use.
He was very efficient, and he customized it in such a short time at a cheap price. Xu Mei was extremely satisfied and praised him just today.
Fang Han felt a bit distant when he saw the message from Gao Wen.
However, she sent another emoji the next second, giving a thumbs up.
Fang Han smiled and typed: "[Shall we have barbecue and hot pot today to celebrate?]"
He still remembers the last time the gathering was interrupted.
Gao Wen replied a while later: [I asked Sister Xu Fei, and it's okay! It can be arranged! However, she doesn't have time to go grocery shopping, so I'll go instead.]
Fang Han: [Together.]
......
evening.
After Gao Wen finishes class, she can meet Fang Han at the intersection ahead.
As they walked toward the supermarket, she asked, "How are you doing at your new company? Are you settling in well?"
After Fang Han changed companies, the two became even closer.
However, she has to get up very early in the morning, so it's impossible for her to come over together. But in the evening, Fang Han goes to the gym after get off work, and they can occasionally run into each other and go home together.
"It's great, everything is going smoothly," Fang Han said.
From a young age, he was not someone with high material needs. Doing his job well and receiving his due salary was enough for him.
However, after coming into contact with Gao Wen, Fang Han would always inadvertently catch the virus.
Seeing her shine in her beloved field, he always felt that he should do something too, to stand shoulder to shoulder with her, or rather, to get closer to her and have more to talk about.
"It's good that everything goes smoothly."
The two arrived at the supermarket, and Fang Han walked to the side and pushed out the largest shopping cart.
He knew Gao Wen well; once she arrived at the supermarket, she couldn't control herself from shopping.
Sure enough, Gao Wen started looking left and right, and kept putting things she found interesting into her shopping cart.
Fang Han, on the other hand, was only interested in the ingredients.
Upon arriving at the vegetable section, Fang Han was even more determined to select the vegetables carefully.
Gao Wen couldn't understand anything except the prices and names on the packaging. She looked left and right and said, "I'll go see what kind of milk or drinks they have and buy a few bottles to try."
"Go ahead," Fang Han said gently as he picked out carrots covered in mud, his long, slender fingers stained with the fragrant soil.
After Gao Wen left, Fang Han continued to select items with his head down, looking serious and focused on everything he did.
After selecting two carrots, Fang Han started choosing onions. Steamed pork ribs with taro seemed like a good dish. Tomorrow was the weekend, and he wondered if Gao Wen wanted to eat it. If not, steamed taro was a good whole grain option.
Fang Han looked at the large taro, picked one up, and started examining it.
Noticing someone beside him, a smile played on his lips. He was about to ask what she had bought when the person bent down, staring intently at Fang Han, and said, "Engineer Fang?"
Fang Han was truly startled, and the smile on his face froze.
"You cook for yourself?" Zhang Ni looked at Fang Han, who was holding taro, and at the various things and seasonings in his shopping cart, feeling both envious and surprised.
"Sister-in-law." Fang Han regained his senses, his expression somewhat unnatural.
"You bought so much food, can you finish it all by yourself?" Zhang Ni looked around and asked subconsciously, "Are you in a relationship?"
"No," Fang Han quickly denied.
"Why are you so excited? I didn't say you were." Zhang Ni was even more curious, then laughed, "There's nothing wrong with being in a relationship. You're at the perfect age, and you can even cook. What lucky girl would want to be with you? It's wonderful."
Zhang Ni had completely forgotten about introducing Gao Wen to Fang Han last time.
In her eyes, Fang Han was very good, but Gao Wen was equally outstanding. Many long-time members wanted to introduce Gao Wen to others, each one more excellent than the last, but Gao Wen was indeed too busy right now, which she could see.
What's the point of dating? Of course, it's to make money together! Now she also has to rack her brains to stop that group of enthusiastic older women.
She now feels that she got married and had children too early, which has affected her career!
When Fang Han saw Gao Wen walking towards him from a distance, his heart jumped into his throat, and he quickly denied it: "Sister-in-law, I didn't."
“So you have someone you like,” Zhang Ni said, picking up potato chips and milk tablets from the shopping cart with a detective’s sharp eyes. “Could these be for you to eat? Besides cooking ingredients and seasonings, your shopping cart is full of snacks that girls love to buy!”
Fang Han's back was sweating profusely, and he almost wanted to turn around and leave on the spot.
Zhang Ni noticed his odd behavior and immediately turned around: "Which little girl is it? Let me see?"
Fang Han: "......"
Fortunately, when Zhang Ni turned around, Gao Wen saw the milk and went back.
Fang Han's mood was like a rollercoaster ride, it was really exciting. He denied it again: "Sister-in-law, I didn't."
"Nothing? No one you like? Or no girlfriend?" Zhang Ni, having seen nothing, turned back to Fang Han, looking down at the groceries he had bought. "Great! You bought so much; you can make a lot of delicious food!"
Fang Han held his large taro in silence.
"Alright, I'll stop teasing you." Zhang Ni laughed happily. "I'm leaving now. I wish you success soon."
Seeing Fang Han's anxious, nervous, and silly look, she knew they weren't together yet. If they were, given his personality, he would never hide it; he would definitely introduce them openly.
Fang Han watched Zhang Ni descend the escalator the whole way, his heart pounding so hard it felt like it was about to break.
He had just turned his head when he saw Gao Wen walk back at some point. She was carrying a bottle of milk and a drink, and her clear, bright eyes were looking at him.
Fang Han tightened his grip on the shopping cart, unsure of what expression to make.
"Senior, is it hot here?" Gao Wen asked.
"It's not hot," Fang Han shook his head.
The fresh produce section is air-conditioned, so how could it be hot?
"Your forehead is covered in sweat," Gao Wen said, puzzled.
Fang Han quickly raised his hand to wipe it: "The clothes I'm wearing today are too thick."
He thought this was a good explanation because he was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt with a light blue shirt over it.
“I have tissues.” Gao Wen took out tissues from her bag and handed them to him. Then she picked up the milk and drink she had just bought and smiled brightly. “I just saw that this milk and drink were on sale over there, half price! And the expiration date is fresh, so I’ll buy this.”
"Amounts saved in anger!"
"Okay." Fang Han nodded.
Gao Wen put the milk and drinks in the shopping cart, feeling a little happy: "I think I've learned to be thrifty, after all, making money isn't easy."
"Saving tens of yuan on a bottle of milk and a drink is impressive," Fang Han affirmed.
A couple walked past them, glanced at their overflowing shopping carts, exchanged a complicated look, and stared at each other.
If you were truly budget-conscious, you wouldn't buy such an expensive imported brand!
Normally, Fang Han would carefully budget his shopping when he went to the supermarket.
Generally, we don't buy too much food than we need to avoid waste.
He was probably a little distracted today, picking and choosing along the way. The two of them ended up buying two large cartloads of things, but they couldn't carry them all back, so the supermarket had to deliver them to their door.
On the way back.
Gao Wen saw a woman selling flowers while carrying a child on her back.
"Beautiful lady, would you like to buy a bouquet of flowers?" the woman asked with a warm smile.
Gao Wen stopped in her tracks. "Let me pick out a few bouquets. I've been so busy lately, it's been a long time since I've bought anything."
"Pick whatever you like, and if you really want it, I can give you a discount." The woman put down the bucket and enthusiastically introduced the product.
The child on her shoulder, wearing a mask, coughed twice.
The woman instinctively stepped back and patted the child from behind, trying to soothe him.
Gao Wen's eyes flickered.
If it weren't for the pressure of making a living, who would be willing to take their sick child out to earn a living when the weather is cool at night?
There weren't many flowers, only half a bucket, but Gao Wen bought them all.
"I'll give you a discount," the woman said gratefully.
"Okay, go back and get some rest." Gao Wen scanned the QR code and said with a smile.
Fang Han glanced at the page and paid the money as promised.
"It smells so good and looks so beautiful! And it's cheap too!" Gao Wen held a large bouquet of flowers, her eyes crinkling with joy, and walked back with light steps, urging Fang Han, "Senior, let's walk faster, I'm starving!"
"Okay." Fang Han's eyes were full of smiles as he quickly followed her.
*
When Xu Fei returned, she saw a table full of ingredients, with two shelves overflowing. Fang Han was still cooking inside. Her eyes widened: "How much stuff did you buy?"
Only when this was mentioned did Fang Han come to his senses. He chose to play dumb and continued working in the kitchen.
In the end, because there was so much food, in order to avoid waste, Xu Fei shamelessly called out her rarely seen roommate, Brother He, to have a meal together.
Brother He couldn't refuse their kind invitation, so he came out anyway.
This was the first time the four of them had gotten together.
Fang Han and Gao Wen moved in later. Brother He and Xu Fei lived in this house for three years, but they never actually ate together; at most, they would exchange greetings.
But it didn't matter. Xu Fei found a few bottles of beer. Brother He was in the construction business and often drank for business purposes. After a few drinks, their relationship became much closer. Plus, Xu Fei was quite talkative, so the atmosphere was pretty good.
Fang Han doesn't drink alcohol, but he quietly acts as a "waiter," even thoughtfully doing the same for the other three people at the table in order to serve Gao Wen food, meat, milk, and drinks.
It was very fair, and no one suspected anything.
For Gao Wen, this was quite a wonderful experience.
During her years at university, she never had a meal with her roommates because she was always busy with many things and felt it was a waste of time.
Appropriately "wasting" time is also another kind of life experience.
After the meal, Xu Fei and Brother He cleaned up the mess together. In their words, they couldn't just eat and drink for free.
Gao Wen went back to her room first. Now, every day after she takes a shower, she goes live on her personal video account to talk about yoga knowledge, answer questions, and share her skincare experience.
Thousands of people watch it every day; the fans are very enthusiastic.
Tonight, Gao Wen came out after taking a shower.
Before starting her live stream, she received a message on her phone.
Just by looking at the notes, Gao Wen couldn't remember who it was.
I understood after reading the message.
It's that former colleague who got her hair permed. Back at the company, she talked to her with veiled barbs, constantly saying that she was interested in Lin Heng, that she was after Lin Heng's family background, and that she wanted to marry a local man based on her looks. Now, she's actually sending her a message saying she misunderstood her.
After Gao Wen left her job, she forgot about these people. But ever since she became an internet sensation, one or two of them would contact her every now and then. Most of them wanted to learn about yoga and wanted to take classes, but they were all deterred by the price.
Even with Gao Wen offering a discount, the cost of a single class is still not low, making it a class that ordinary working people can't afford.
This former colleague wasn't there to find out about this; instead, they were ranting about the recent "nepotism" of the new intern.
She also said that she had misunderstood Gao Wen before. After witnessing this person, she realized what it meant to rack one's brains and stop at nothing to marry Lin Heng. She would seize any opportunity to stick close to Lin Heng, and she was always thinking about asserting her dominance. Her eyes were fixed on them as if she was afraid that they would steal Lin Heng away.
They are inefficient, lack tact, are lazy and inattentive, and have no sense of responsibility.
Since she arrived, she's been nothing but a nuisance, making the office a complete mess.
Gao Wen frowned slightly as she read the other person's comments.
I heard Lin Heng was promoted to director ahead of schedule. Why would they hire someone like that?
Until the other party said that the intern's name was Jiang Shuyan.
Gao Wen's brows immediately relaxed.
Jiang Shuyan.
This is a good thing. The plot should be back on track. Jiang Shuyan's internship at Lin Heng's company is the beginning of their love growing stronger. They're not far from being together, right?
May they love each other dearly, grow old together, and never cross paths with her again.
When Gao Wen started her broadcast, everyone could tell she was in a good mood.
The number of viewers in the live stream was also higher than usual, reaching 8,000.
Gao Wen took care of her skin while watching the live comments, interacting with everyone with a smile, and patiently answering all the questions.
Compared to the lively atmosphere of Gao Wen's live stream, Jiang Shuyan's live stream was a complete disaster.
Since Jiang Shuyan started her internship at Lin Heng's company, her financial situation has not improved; on the contrary, it has made her even more strapped for cash.
The internship salary was low, and her expenses increased after starting work, as she needed to eat, drink, and dress up.
She had long developed a habit of spending money extravagantly. In the past, it was because her mother had left her a large house before she passed away, which she could rent out, and she also had some jewelry and cash that she could invest and earn some interest. Even if she didn't work, she lived a comfortable life.
The last incident completely drained her.
The 200,000 yuan that Lin Heng gave her wouldn't last long at all, and Jiang Shuyan started taking out loans to pay off her debts again.
She knew this was wrong, so she worked even harder to make money through live-streaming sales, selling goods almost every night.
In her desire to make money quickly, Jiang Shuyan chose high-commission, unregulated cosmetics. Initially, some fans bought them, but later, realizing they had been scammed, they left negative reviews.
Gradually, the account with 200,000 followers was reduced to only a few dozen people.
Half of the people are still cursing:
Don't buy anything she recommends; it's all junk!
[A blogger I've followed for years has suddenly gone awry; why is all they selling this kind of stuff?]
[I bought this and it ruined my skin. I submitted a report but no one responded. They're so irresponsible!]
[Block this account, don't buy it, everyone beware of being scammed!]
[I can't even get a refund, or I have to pay exorbitant postage. I'm speechless. It feels like a betrayal.]
......
Jiang Shuyan streamed for two hours but didn't sell a single item. Seeing the constant barrage of negative reviews and sarcastic comments, she couldn't take it anymore and ended the stream midway, bursting into tears on the table.
She's the female lead in this book.
Over the years, she has lived a life of being the center of attention, without having to put in much effort; all the good fortune and glory have always been on her side.
How did it become like this?
This should be the treatment given to the female supporting character! It's those who aren't favored by the plot who get this treatment! Not her!
Jiang Shuyan thought of Gao Wen. She searched for her online and found that she was also doing live streaming.
Since the last time, Gao Wen's fans have increased by 150,000.
She doesn't need to sell anything; people keep sending her gifts.
Gao Wen was applying face cream in front of the camera. She leaned her head close and smiled, saying, "I didn't turn on any beauty filters. This is how I look. I don't recommend skincare products. Everyone's skin type is different. You can try different products and see how they work. Choose products from compliant manufacturers and don't buy any products without proper labeling or production date. They may contain excessive heavy metals, which will do more harm than good."
"Drink more water, sleep more, exercise more, and reduce internal conflict."
Jiang Shuyan was even more devastated. She gritted her teeth and thought, she knew what would happen to Gao Wen.
Just wait, it's not going to get any better!
late at night.
When Fang Han got into bed, he turned over, put his hands under his head, and looked at the carnations on his desk. The flowers were in full bloom, just like his mood, which was very beautiful.
It was Gao Wen who gave it to him. The flowers were placed in an exquisite flowerpot, with a touch of refinement that seemed out of place on the desk filled with various professional books, but it added a touch of brightness.
Just like the feeling she gave him.
Gao Wen was like a beautiful rainbow in his life, enriching his world.
As Fang Hanguang thought about it, his expression softened.
She sent flowers not only to him, but also to the other two.
Gao Wen is a person with a great appreciation for life. When she is in a good mood, she will always buy a few bouquets of flowers to keep at home. She will put one in her room, one on the dining table in the living room, and if she has any extras, she will give one to Xu Fei.
Today there were just too many. They were placed in the living room, in Gao Wen's room, on the bathroom counter, and Xu Fei also received some. Fang Han and Brother He each received a few bouquets.
Even so, Fang Han looked at the bouquets of flowers, and a smile returned to his face.
Next to the flowers were several boxes of chocolates, which Gao Wen had brought back for him last time, but he hadn't been able to bear eating them.
Fang Han couldn't sleep, so he sat up and leaned against the bedside, picked up a book from the bedside table, and began to read. The book's cover read: "The Art of Photographic Composition."
This is a new area he has been researching recently, and he has made great progress. Gao Wen praised him for it, but she is just too busy, which means that they have very little time to spend together lately.
The next day.
Fang Han had just arrived at his workstation when he checked his phone. He hadn't received a reply to the message he sent to Gao Wen that morning.
I guess I'll be busy again and I don't know when I'll be back.
Fang Han sighed and sat down at his workstation to turn on his computer.
Gu Shujie suddenly came to Fang Han's side and said to him, "The 'AI Yoga Instructor' project we talked about before is going to be developed. You'll be in charge. This project is simple, so you can get started."
"Hmm." Fang Han nodded casually.
"By the way, I asked your sister-in-law to find Wenwen, the super popular yoga teacher at their studio, to be a special project consultant. You can coordinate with her and we can discuss any issues. I'll send you her contact information later." Gu Shujie finished speaking, patted Fang Han on the shoulder, and left.
