After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 382 Qu Cai

On the way, Jiang Yichen's calm and composed demeanor during the negotiations remained vivid in my mind.

His calm demeanor, clear and logical speech, and composure under pressure have given me direction for learning.

Just as I was lost in thought, Xu Sisi's clear voice suddenly rang out, interrupting my thoughts. "Sister Mo, we'll be at the studio soon." She looked at me earnestly, her eyes full of concern. She must have noticed I was too engrossed in my thoughts; she had already called me twice.

"I know, I know, I was just thinking about something," I quickly explained to her, snapping out of my reverie.

"What's wrong? Why are you thinking about it so seriously?" Xu Sisi asked, her curiosity piqued.

"It's nothing, just about the collaboration!" I replied casually, not wanting to go into too much detail.

"Really?" Xu Sisi's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief, and then she added, "Today is our assessment day."

Assessment Day! It was only after Xu Sisi's reminder that I suddenly remembered that there was indeed an important assessment today. It would be a good opportunity to see how my anchors had performed after the last adjustment.

"Which anchor do you think will perform the best today?" I turned to ask Xu Sisi.

"I don't know, but I reckon everyone did pretty well," Xu Sisi replied confidently, showing her faith in the team.

"Really?" I replied, slightly doubtful.

"Of course." As soon as he finished speaking, the driver steadily drove the car to the ground floor of the studio.

"arrive!"

Xu Sisi and I got out of the car one after the other. On the way, I took out my phone and sent a message to Lin Xiaxia: "The cooperation we discussed today went very smoothly. I hope it goes well for you too!" I also added a cheering emoji, hoping to bring some encouragement to my colleagues in the studio.

Lin Xiaxia had been meticulously preparing in the studio for quite some time. Inside the room, several new anchors who had grown up within the company sat neatly in the conference room, their expressions focused yet slightly nervous.

I spoke first, my tone calm yet full of anticipation: "Please report on the recent progress, especially the revenue from offline live streaming."

The anchor, Xiao Ye, stood up calmly and answered clearly, "The revenue is still at the previous level, but due to recent public opinion, it has decreased overall."

"What about the orders?" I asked anxiously, my heart tightening, since order volume is the key to business development.

"Orders have decreased significantly, showing a clear downward trend." Xiao Ye's answer instantly made the atmosphere in the meeting room heavy, and everyone present held their breath, not daring to make a sound.

“But recently, online traffic has increased, all of which has been attracted from different channels.” Just then, Little Sweetie’s voice came from behind. She was holding the latest data sheet, which brought a glimmer of hope to the slightly oppressive atmosphere.

"That's for the best." After a brief reply, I handed the revised live stream schedule to Lin Xiaxia.

Lin Xiaxia took the process sheet, her eyes firm, and assured me, "I will complete the task in the shortest amount of time."

"Time is tight right now, and I'm sure you've all worked hard lately." I put away my serious work demeanor and adopted a gentle, friend-like tone, smiling as I said this to indicate that the meeting was over and everyone didn't need to be so formal.

"Sister Mo, but the recent profits are unlikely to change in the short term. If we want to achieve a breakthrough, we must explore overseas markets!" Xu Sisi said, while pulling up cases of major brands gradually moving towards internationalization, listing the corresponding learning plans in detail, and also making a comprehensive and detailed plan for our products.

"When did you do this?" I looked at Xu Sisi with surprise, my eyes full of admiration and praise.

"We started preparing several months ago because I believe we will be able to expand our business overseas in the future. I might even be the person in charge of the relevant projects then," Xu Sisi said confidently.

That's impressive. Xu Sisi's foresight and hard work make me feel that she's wasting her talents in the studio.

"Then..." Xu Sisi continued to elaborate on the various details of the plan, and her colleagues nodded in approval. After an in-depth discussion, the plan was successfully approved.

"Sisi, you've really impressed me!" I praised sincerely.

Seeing that Xu Sisi's throat was a little hoarse from talking for so long, Little Sweetie thoughtfully handed her the water in front of her and said, "Sister Sisi, have some water."

"Sweetie, you're great too. You always take good care of things at home. Otherwise, with us running around outside, we don't know how chaotic things would be at home," I said to Sweetie with a smile.

After being praised, Little Sweetie lowered her head shyly, a blush spreading across her face.

"Lin Xiaxia did a great job too. By the way, how's the Suzhou embroidery project you're in charge of going?" I asked Lin Xiaxia, genuinely interested in this culturally rich project. After all, I've been very busy with studio affairs and haven't had much time to keep up with the Suzhou embroidery project.

"That place is great. After the online exposure, many young people are now coming to learn Suzhou embroidery," Lin Xiaxia described to us happily, her eyes sparkling with joy.

"Why are you laughing so happily?" Xu Sisi noticed Lin Xiaxia's unusual behavior and asked curiously.

I observed carefully and noticed that Lin Xiaxia kept mentioning someone, intentionally or unintentionally, when she spoke. Then it dawned on me, and I wondered if she was in a relationship?

"Xia! Tell me the truth, are you in a relationship?" I asked, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"No, no, this person just often discusses Suzhou embroidery techniques with me. I don't have any plans to date right now. I'll think about these things after Sister Mo's company develops better." Lin Xiaxia explained, while shyly lowering her head and unconsciously fidgeting with the hem of her clothes.

Really? Seeing Xia's shy expression, I didn't press her further. I just silently wished her happiness and that everything would get better for her.

"Sisi, what about you? Do you have someone you like?" I turned the conversation to Xu Sisi.

Xu Sisi looked at me with a surprised expression, her eyes wide: "What? I won't date until I meet my Mr. Right."

Little Sweetie couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Sister Sisi, how can you be so sure? Have you already secretly started dating? No way, I'm the only one left single."
