Chapter 279: Chapter 173: Ji Sinuan Doesn’t Get Enough to Eat at Home (3)

Gao Yuan wasn’t dissatisfied with the current sales figures. For the company to have achieved such results in just one month since its founding was already astounding.

Next, the department heads gave their reports.

Sun Qiang’s report focused on personnel, mentioning the addition of several new colleagues.

Finally, Si Xue reported on the company’s financial situation.

While the company had sales of 520 million, the collection period for the 40-plus million from the National Style Bags presale was quite long.

Furthermore, due to payment cycles, the company only had 240 million in available capital.

Hearing this, Gao Yuan suddenly realized, ’I’m already calculating wealth in hundreds of millions.’

He felt like he was back in his e-commerce director days. The difference was, back then he worked for someone else; now, this was his own business.

There were no major financial issues, just the settlement with the Lin Group. Gao Yuan had no intention of delaying payment and planned to settle the account as soon as it was due.

However, he also instructed Si Xue to free up 150 million, as he would need it soon.

After listening to everyone’s reports, Gao Yuan first commended them for their work and praised their recent efforts. Then he said, "I have two announcements to make."

"First, the company’s focus will shift to the National Style Skincare Set and the National Style Bags."

"I expect the National Style Bags to be completely sold out in four days."

The moment Gao Yuan said this, everyone in the room exchanged bewildered glances.

This was especially true for the three store managers, who knew the presale numbers for the National Style Bags all too well—they had only sold one-fifth of the total stock.

According to the rules they had established, customers had to purchase a National Style Skincare Set before they could buy a National Style Bag.

With only a little over eight thousand National Style Skincare Sets sold so far, the task Gao Yuan had just assigned them was truly as difficult as reaching for the sky.

"After this meeting, announce on all sales channels, including Yuanfang’s official public accounts, that regardless of sales volume, the sale of the National Style Bags will end at midnight, four days from now."

Gao Yuan’s strategy was to create a sense of urgency among potential buyers.

Buy it now, or you’ll never get the chance again.

Or they would have to hunt for one on the resale market.

Now that Gao Yuan had issued the directive, the entire company’s focus had to shift accordingly.

Gao Yuan didn’t engage in a discussion on how to achieve this. The specifics were for them to figure out amongst themselves. As always, he only cared about the results.

"Second, in one week, our company will be relocating to Xiaoshan Technology City."

"The entire Xiaoshan Technology City now belongs to the Yuanfang Group, and Yuanfang Daily Chemicals will have its own dedicated office building there."

This announcement sent another shockwave through the room.

’The company is moving?’

’And we’re getting our own entire building?’

Having worked in Hang City for so long, they had all heard of Xiaoshan Technology City. The idea that they would soon be working there was simply astonishing.

’And the boss just said the entire Technology City belongs to the Yuanfang Group!’

In an instant, everyone became intensely curious about their boss’s wealth.

’Just how rich is Gao Yuan?’

In reality, Gao Yuan had less than three million in his personal bank account, and that was from a private transfer Lin Hongnian had made to him.

He hadn’t withdrawn a single cent from the company’s funds.

He had originally planned to save up to buy a house, but it seemed the more he tried to save, the harder it was to hold onto the money.

After the meeting, Gao Yuan left.

This time, he didn’t hand out any bonuses. Instead, he required the three store managers to report the sales progress of the National Style Bags in the group chat every day.

If they successfully completed the task, he would hold a celebration for them.

With nothing else pressing, Gao Yuan drove back to No.1 Courtyard.

He parked in the underground garage, as usual, and quietly lit a cigarette.

In this moment, time was his and his alone.

Gao Yuan reclined his seat slightly, cracked open the passenger-side window, and closed his eyes, fumbling for the ashtray by memory.

Most people with a supercar wouldn’t dream of smoking inside it, but Gao Yuan was different.

’A car is just a tool for getting around. It’s meant to be used.’

Besides, Gao Yuan had no intention of selling the car, so he didn’t worry about things like that.

’As for the argument that women don’t like the smell of smoke in a car...’

Gao Yuan could only scoff at that.

’Setting aside the car’s advanced air circulation system, Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing wouldn’t mind one bit.’

’As for other women, was he begging them to get in his car?’

’Take it or leave it.’

TAP TAP TAP.

The sound of high heels echoed in the quiet underground garage.

Gao Yuan couldn’t be bothered to open his eyes. ’The sound of high heels doesn’t guarantee a pair of long, slender legs,’ he thought. ’It could just as easily be a pair of tree trunks.’

The clicking grew closer. Assuming someone was just walking past his car, Gao Yuan kept his eyes closed, enjoying his cigarette.

Ji Sinuan had just gotten back from a shopping trip. She was in a foul mood; she had browsed for ages but hadn’t found a single thing she wanted to buy.

On top of that, her husband had accused her of spending money recklessly.

Returning to No.1 Courtyard completely dejected, she parked her car and started walking toward the elevator. She had only taken a few steps when she spotted Gao Yuan’s car.

She knew it was Gao Yuan’s car; she had seen him driving it before.

She was surprised to see it parked here now, a wisp of smoke curling out from the window.

Ji Sinuan was very familiar with this sort of scene. ’Men love to sit in their car for a while after coming home to have a smoke.’

’It’s either because they’re stressed out or because they’re afraid of their wives.’

In Ji Sinuan’s mind, Gao Yuan was definitely the latter.

’Otherwise, why would he have stood her up that night when she’d been so forward? He was one hundred percent kept on a tight leash by his wife.’

Seducing a man like that would give Ji Sinuan a great sense of both accomplishment and security.

Because a man like that was safe.

’Even if he had a little fun on the side, he wouldn’t dare breathe a word of it to anyone, not even his friends, for fear of ruining his family life.’

And that was exactly what Ji Sinuan was looking for.

She might be promiscuous, but that was only because she wasn’t getting her fill at home, which made her want to dine out.

That didn’t mean, however, that she had any desire to leave her current family.
