Chapter 155 [Shi Yi 005] What are you trying to test?
Shi Wan scoffed, "I need to pay in installments? Who do you think you are? Go ahead and slap me!"

After saying that, she took out her phone from her suit jacket pocket, opened WeChat, and held out the QR code to him. That's how the two of them became friends without even realizing it.

Thinking back, a little over a month ago, Ji Xuan proactively sent Shi Wan's WeChat contact to Yi Xu, but he was reluctant to add her at the time.

He might have thought it was too much trouble before. If Shi Wan had asked him to take responsibility or clung to him, he would have actually dated her for a while out of respect for Ji Xian.

But since she didn't mention it, he didn't want to waste any more time on the matter.

I don't know why, even though it's only our second meeting, I've inexplicably changed my mind.

Adding each other as friends is not out of the question.

When the two returned to the private room, Boss Shi noticed that the red oil stains on Yi Xu's clothes were still there, so he asked a question.

Shi Wan gave a vague reply.

Everyone has work in the afternoon, so we can't drink to our hearts' content at lunchtime. One glass each is enough.

Shi Wan didn't deprive herself of food and ate her fill.

He channeled his grief and anger at the impending loss of tens of thousands of yuan into his appetite.

Yi Xu watched as she ate until her cheeks were bulging, still chewing diligently, picking at the food as if she wanted to put the whole table of food in front of her and then stuff it into her mouth.

He looked away, and before he knew it, a smile had crept onto his lips. After about ten seconds to half a minute, he would look back at her puffed-out cheek.

After several attempts, she finally finished eating.

Yi Xu poured her a cup of tea. "Are you full?"

"Mmm." Shi Wan took it and sipped her drink.

The two acted so naturally, their subtle yet overt intimacy only adding to the ambiguity.

Shi Wan only realized what was happening after she finished drinking. She glanced at Yi Xu and saw him pouring tea for her as if it were just a casual thing to do, so she looked away.

After the meal, the dozen or so people parted ways at the restaurant entrance.

After shaking hands with President Shi and the others, Shi Wan turned and left without even glancing at Yi Xu.

After returning home that evening, Shi Wan took a shower, played with the princess for a while, and then held her in her arms while scrolling through her phone. Her chat interface with Yi Xu was still the system conversation from when they added each other as friends at noon.

She didn't pay attention to it and just waited a few days. Two huge stacks of test reports and various documents from Laijia arrived, but Yi Xu's bank account information hadn't been sent over yet.

Shi Wan didn't like owing people anything, so on Wednesday night she sent him her first message since they became friends: Where's the account?
After waiting for about half an hour, Yi Xu still hadn't replied.

She's been very busy lately, and today she finally managed to get some sleep. She didn't care whether he replied to her messages or not, and just put on her eye mask and went to sleep.

I had just fallen asleep when a WeChat voice call came in.

She pulled off her blindfold, squinted, and saw it was Yi Xu calling. She frowned, then answered, "What?"

"I'm on a business trip in Lanzhen City."

His short voice was slightly hoarse, as if he had been drinking.

But Shi Wan looked bewildered after hearing this, "You're on a business trip, why are you calling me? Or... did you dial the wrong number? You were going to call your girlfriend?"

Yi Xu on the other end of the microphone paused for a moment, then laughed and asked, "What are you trying to test?"

Test?

Test my ass!
"ill!"

She hung up the phone, cursing, threw the phone aside, and put her blindfold back on.

Less than two minutes later, my phone beeped with another WeChat notification.

Shi Wan simply turned her back and focused intently on trying to fall asleep.

She saw the message at seven o'clock the next morning. Just as she had expected, it was from Yi Xu, saying that he was on a business trip in another province and did not have his card with him.

After watching, Shi Wan exited without replying. Lai Jia's live stream was scheduled for Saturday evening at 7 PM and was expected to last three hours.

On Friday, Mr. Shi from Laijia and several department managers came to the live broadcast site for inspection. At noon that day, the team began to check the equipment and facilities, as well as the schedule and pacing.

Shi Wan was putting on makeup.

She does her own makeup most of the time. If she weren't a live streamer or internet celebrity, and if she didn't work as a translator, she could easily be a celebrity's personal makeup artist.

So when Yi Xu said he would blacklist her, she wasn't afraid at all.

I have plenty of jobs.

Around 6:30, Shi Wan was looking at documents and scripts when a dark shadow suddenly appeared behind her. She subconsciously turned her head to look and met Yi Xu's narrow, almond-shaped eyes.

His peach blossom eyes were too cold, and coupled with his carefree and irresponsible playboy personality, he looked like a complete scumbag.

Shi Wan looked surprised. "When did you get back?"

"This morning."

"Oh."

There were only the two of them in the dressing room. Yi Xu simply sat down next to her, peeked at the documents in her hand, and asked, "Are you confident you can clear out all the inventory we provided?"

"Tch, how much inventory do you have?" Shi Wan rolled her eyes. "It's been more than three hours."

Shi Wan asked again, "You're not going to stay and watch, are you?"

"What? Can't I watch?"

Shi Wanbai glared at him. "Why haven't you sent your bank account number yet? Is it hard to send? Or do you not know how to count?"

Yi Xu chuckled lightly, "So eager to send me money? Aren't you angry anymore?"

No wonder he's furious!
Shi Wan ignored him and said, "Send me the account number today."

Yi Xu raised his eyebrows and nodded. "Okay."

Around 6:50, Shi Wan sat in front of the camera and began adjusting the lighting and angles. At 7:00, the live stream started, and more than two thousand people flooded in instantly.

Shi Wan greeted them, and when the number reached 10,000, she created a screenshot giveaway. People would type the text she requested in the chat, and whoever captured the screenshot would receive a blind box of bracelets for that night.

As more and more people gathered, reaching a population of 100,000, the discussion of today's jewelry officially began.

It took another hour and a half, and all the product inventory was gone. The chat was still asking for a bracelet, a necklace, and a perfume to be added to the inventory.

When Shi Wan does live streams, she never uses scarcity marketing tactics. When she says something is sold out, it really is sold out.

"Is there really no way to increase production due to inventory?"

She looked at the screen full of product names and turned her head to look at Yi Xu, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.

Yi Xu stood up. "How much has been paid out in total so far?"

Shi Wan took her phone from Yu Xuan, then tapped it and pointed it at him, saying, "So many."

Yi Xu could only walk over and look down; half of his body was framed by the live stream camera.

The netizens who were originally looking for the style name suddenly started sending a barrage of greetings, asking who he was, but soon some people recognized him.

He's the second son of the Yi Group!

They were rumored to be dating last month.

Oh, finally someone remembered that the brand Laiga is a subsidiary of Yi's!
Shi Wan didn't pay attention to the public chat; she was only concerned about whether she could get the inventory.

Seeing that he had been staring at his phone for a while without saying a word, she frowned and kicked his shin with her shoe. "Can you add me? Say something!"

Happy National Day, my darlings! A new month has begun, and here's an extra chapter for today. Wishing all you lovely ladies a wonderful holiday! Also, please vote for me! Mwah!
