Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Li Mengqing’s Task

With Gao Yuan’s declaration, the only thing Li Mengqing could do was say she believed him.

Ever since that night, her heart had been uncontrollably drawn closer to Gao Yuan.

She truly hoped, from the bottom of her heart, that Gao Yuan could build a career for himself.

Having worked at the MCN Company for so long, she knew very well what a career meant to a man.

She could accept him not having anything right now, but what about the future?

Even she couldn’t say for sure.

All affection and passion have a time limit. They require more energy and effort to maintain, and a man’s success plays a fundamental role in that.

’Forget it. He can do his thing, and I’ll do mine.’

Li Mengqing could only console herself with this thought.

At the same time, she also made up her mind. As soon as Gao Yuan’s face masks were produced, she would definitely find a way to get her company’s influencers to help with a wave of promotional posts.

Even if it meant owing a few people some favors, she had to give him a hand.

[Ding! Charming Uncle - Supportive Partner Mission 1.0 has begun.]

[Mission]: Li Mengqing has decided to secretly support the Host’s career. The Host needs to cooperate fully.

[Mission Reward 1]: High-explosive Traffic Card.

[Mission Reward 2]: 2 Experience Points.

The moment Li Mengqing made her decision, a system notification sounded in Gao Yuan’s mind.

Gao Yuan was desperate for system missions right now, so he absolutely loved the sound of that notification.

However, when he checked the mission, he discovered that he only had a supporting role; to be precise, this was a mission given to Li Mengqing.

He would only receive the rewards after Li Mengqing completed the mission.

’It can even be played this way?’

Gao Yuan knew that although Li Mengqing said she believed him, she didn’t actually think his plan would work.

Even major skincare brands didn’t dare try something like this; they all had to cater to the consumer’s bargain-hunting mentality. What right did a brand-new, unknown brand like his have to believe it could work a miracle?

’A move like this was commercial suicide!’

Most people would probably think so. Only a silly and sweet girl like Lin Wanyu would believe in him so unconditionally.

Originally, Gao Yuan had planned to wait for the product to officially go on sale. He’d let the first wave of early adopters try it, and then use word-of-mouth to make the GY face masks a viral hit, proving his point to both women.

Since Li Mengqing was planning to help him behind the scenes, he would just play his supporting role and cooperate with her.

This way, he could not only complete the mission but also sell more masks, killing two birds with one stone.

’No, wait, three birds with one stone. It would also give Li Mengqing a sense of accomplishment.’

However, Gao Yuan was a little confused by the mission title.

’Supportive Partner!’

’Isn’t that term a bit inappropriate for Li Mengqing?’

Gao Yuan couldn’t figure it out and didn’t dwell on it. He figured the system probably just assumed he had the hots for Li Mengqing.

He was more focused on the system’s reward this time: the High-explosive Traffic Card.

Clicking on the High-explosive Traffic Card, he saw the explanation.

High-explosive Traffic Card: Detonates a traffic surge for a specific period, generating a 1 to 10-fold burst. Applicable on any platform.

Gao Yuan’s eyes went wide with excitement at the explanation.

Using this High-explosive Traffic Card would net him at least double, and up to ten times, the normal traffic.

He instantly thought of live streaming!

’If I do a sales livestream and use this High-explosive Traffic Card, wouldn’t that...’

At that moment, Gao Yuan really wanted to hug Li Mengqing and give her a kiss, but a glance at Lin Wanyu beside him made him dismiss the crazy thought.

Suppressing his excitement, the system mission made Gao Yuan even more confident that he would succeed this time.

The three of them discussed things for a while longer before he went downstairs to work out.

As for the startup, all the groundwork had been laid. All that was left was to wait for the business licenses to be approved and then open the online store.

Once the products were ready, he’d get photos taken, finalize the design, and list them for sale.

He had invested all 300,000 yuan on hand. He’d use the 1,000 yuan daily cash-back from the system for promotion. He’d spend every last penny and refused to believe no one would buy his products.

’If a customer places an order, and their skin is rejuvenated in just one week, wouldn’t they buy more?’

’If you don’t buy it, someone else will. By the time you want to buy it again, whoops, sorry, it’s out of stock.’

’Then you’ll go back to other skincare brands, and you’ll really feel the difference.’

’At that point, when the GY flagship store restocks, how much will you buy?’

’Will you stock up on a three-month supply? Or maybe six?’

’Don’t think Gao Yuan is some unscrupulous merchant engaging in scarcity marketing.’

’For one, he really only had a small amount of capital and had already gone all-in. Accusing him of scarcity marketing? Have you no conscience!’

’As for being an unscrupulous merchant, well, that’s a little harder to answer.’

’Isn’t business about making money? If he doesn’t make a profit, how is he supposed to buy luxury cars and mansions? How is he supposed to get to the third floor!’

’Besides, the masks aren’t even priced that high, and the profit margin is tiny. Compared to other companies, he’s already being more than fair.’

’Someone’s going to make money off you anyway. If it’s Gao Yuan, at least you get revitalized skin out of the deal.’

So when he worked out today, Gao Yuan was in a great mood, and his energy was completely different.

Wang Lin could sense it clearly, but since her wealthy client didn’t bring it up himself, it wasn’t her place to pry into the affairs of the rich.

Nearing the end of his workout, the door to the yoga studio next to the gym opened.

Gao Yuan was jogging on the treadmill.

Wang Lin, who was beside him, suddenly leaned in conspiratorially and whispered, "President Gao, quick, look!"

Gao Yuan looked at Wang Lin, confused. He didn’t understand what she suddenly wanted him to see.

He glanced down at Wang Lin’s headlights. The young woman was quite stacked, but her outfit wasn’t doing him any favors.

She was covered up so modestly it was affecting his workout mood.

Sensing his gaze, Wang Lin blushed and said with a huff, "What are you looking at me for? Look over there."

Gao Yuan followed her finger and looked to his east.

"Whoa!"

He sucked in a sharp breath.

It was a good thing Wang Lin was quick enough to stop the treadmill, or Gao Yuan would have definitely made a fool of himself.

Outside the yoga studio, a group of women in tight yoga outfits walked out, laughing.

Most of the men in the gym stopped their workouts to watch them.

They didn’t seem to mind. Some of the women even boldly looked back, their eyes sweeping over the men.

Gao Yuan watched the mix of older and younger women appear before him. It was a true feast for the eyes.

There wasn’t a single unattractive woman in the group; every one of them was gorgeous.

Curvy and slim, they were all incredibly easy on the eyes.

Suddenly, Gao Yuan saw a familiar face in the crowd.

His landlady, Xiao Xiao!

She practiced yoga here too. Today, she was in a lavender yoga outfit with a large blue sweat towel draped over her shoulders, revealing a sliver of a completely flat stomach.

’Another label for her popped into Gao Yuan’s mind: Perfect Figure.’

At that moment, Xiao Xiao seemed to sense something, looked up in his direction, and immediately saw Gao Yuan.

Their eyes met, but no romantic sparks flew.

Xiao Xiao gave Gao Yuan a faint smile and walked out the main door.

"She likes purple, too," Gao Yuan murmured.

"President Gao, it looked like that gorgeous woman knows you!"

"I saw her smile at you."

Wang Lin’s words snapped Gao Yuan out of his daze. He turned to her and said, "This is adult business. Kids shouldn’t be so nosy."

With that, he started the treadmill again and began to run.

This time, he even picked up the pace, breaking into an all-out sprint.

Wang Lin was baffled by his retort. Seeing him run so happily only made her feel more frustrated.

"Hmph, see if I give you a heads-up next time!"

"You dare? I’ll dock your pay."
