After finishing the call with Song Sining, Wang Yi simply washed up and went to bed.
After registering his household registration tomorrow, he would qualify to buy a house.
Buying a house and car next would not be an issue.
As for which residential compound to buy?
That was a big problem.
There were purchase restrictions in the Imperial Capital; even with a household registration, he could only buy one property, so he had to choose carefully.
As for the company buying property?
It didn't make much sense.
It was better to buy commercial property!
Properties in the Imperial Capital and commercial properties in core locations could both appreciate in value.
But apart from the appreciation years later, houses only offered insignificant rental income.
Commercial properties, in addition to appreciating, could also house Meiyou flagship stores, providing continuous profit!
Clearly more cost-effective!
With double happiness, Wang Yi slept very well that night.
But Davis tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
He knew that voting for ZARA on the Meiyou social platform had already put him completely on the defensive!
But there was nothing he could do!
Meiyou was no longer what it used to be.
If it were a small platform with only hundreds of thousands of users, Davis wouldn't even bat an eye at Meiyou.
He wouldn't even care about the so-called voting results.
But the problem was, Meiyou was frequently trending and already had 18 million users!
This was terrifying!
More importantly, these 18 million users were mostly female users, and also current and potential users of their ZARA women's clothing.
So, the result of this post would have a significant impact.
Davis had no choice but to care.
If all these people were influenced by the voting result and believed ZARA was the ugliest, then ZARA's sales in China would be in trouble.
The domestic market was huge; they wouldn't give up unless absolutely necessary.
But how could he turn the tide?
Davis racked his brains but still couldn't come up with a good solution.
If it were on Weibo, they could pull trending topics, bribe bloggers to delete posts, or even manipulate public opinion.
But this was on Meiyou!
It was Meiyou's app, and Meiyou called the shots.
His money wouldn't work!
As for bribing Fang Huimei to delete the post...
Davis thought it was unrealistic.
He saw clearly that Fang Huimei's sudden rise to popularity seemed spontaneous, but behind her success, there was an invisible hand paving the way for her to quickly become famous.
Now Fang Huimei had posted such a voting thread, allowing Meiyou and Qingyou to gain fame by stepping on ZARA and HM!
The big hand behind Fang Huimei must be Meiyou!
This made things difficult!
The more Davis thought, the more worried he became; his mind was exceptionally active, and he couldn't sleep at all.
He had thought that with Steve's dismissal and his ascension, he would have a bright future to achieve great things.
Unexpectedly, he started with a mess, facing a formidable opponent like Meiyou.
If things went wrong, let alone achieving great things, he might also be dismissed!
Worry!
Worry!
Worry!
He worried until almost morning before drowsiness hit him, and he finally fell asleep...
So much so that he didn't wake up in the morning.
Wang Yi, however, woke up early and checked yesterday's data.
On the second day of Meiyou's "Pure Desire" autumn collection launch, revenue once again exceeded 100 million!
The profit was very impressive.
Especially Fang Huimei's voting post, which made Meiyou and Qingyou immensely successful, with revenue steadily climbing.
Traffic converted from her post alone generated over 20 million in revenue.
It could only be said that Meiyou's content marketing department's operation this time was too successful.
Next time bonuses are issued, the content marketing department should all get extra chicken drumsticks.
As for Fang Huimei, with this wave yesterday, she earned over 10,000 in commission!
Moreover, this commission was displayed in real-time in the backend!
Fang Huimei looked at the backend data:
Base salary: 10000.
Commission: 13524.
Total: 23524!
"I can get such a high commission?"
Fang Huimei still found it unbelievable and couldn't help but call Song Sining:
"President, can I earn over 20,000 this month?"
Song Sining smiled slightly:
"Huimei, this is just the beginning. If you maintain this popularity, you have hopes of earning over 100,000 this month!"
"What? 100,000!"
Fang Huimei was thrilled.
Before this, she was just a novice who had just started working, with a monthly salary of 3,000, and often bullied.
The persona Wang Yi created for her was half-true, half-false, so there was no fear of being exposed.
Her biggest dream in this life was to earn over 10,000 yuan a month!
And now it was realized, with the possibility of achieving ten times that amount!
Happiness came too suddenly!
"President, don't worry, I will definitely work hard!"
Fang Huimei patted her chest and promised.
Song Sining nodded:
"Good, cooperate well with the team, they are all your helpers!"
"Mmhmm!"
Fang Huimei nodded.
She wasn't getting carried away, understanding in her heart that her success was all thanks to the team.
Or rather, the Meiyou content marketing department.
After all, her persona, her rise to fame, including the voting post, were all planned and arranged by the content marketing department.
On her own, she might have just been an ordinary office worker her entire life.
MCNs finding good talent, establishing personas, packaging, gaining popularity, bringing in sales...
This path works now, and it will still work ten years from now!
In reality, many influencers are fake personas, packaged, and then their live-streaming sales crash...
Not many true stories.
However, for authenticity, Meiyou's content marketing department signed thirty streamers, half of whom were in Jizhou and half distributed across the country.
Like Fang Huimei, she was in a third-tier city.
The content marketing department had a team specifically to help these bloggers operate.
Bloggers only needed to take photos according to the team's requirements, send them to the team, and the team would be responsible for image editing, copywriting, and uploading!
Today, at Wang Yi's request, ten more bloggers were launched, naturally recommending Meiyou's autumn outfits through various methods.
These styling methods had been researched by the content marketing department, and they were all fashionable and attractive.
As a result, fans couldn't help but splurge after seeing them.
Thereby bringing revenue to Meiyou.
Some users, who were not Meiyou bloggers at all, even spontaneously followed the trend and recommended Meiyou's outfits.
They had no income, purely shining for love, acting as style bloggers.
However, they could also gain followers this way, and if they grew bigger in the future, taking on advertisements would not be a problem.
With the surge in Meiyou's user base, many people have recognized Meiyou's future and have begun to manage their own accounts and gain followers!
After all, it's hard to become a big V on Weibo, but it's still relatively easy on the nascent Meiyou.
It could be said that Meiyou was currently in its early growth bonus period!
Seeing Meiyou's content marketing getting on track and revenue steadily increasing, Wang Yi directly skipped his morning classes to complete his household registration in the Imperial Capital!
In the afternoon, he diligently attended two classes, focusing on writing his novel.
The outline part was already halfway done.
This time, he was writing the beginning!
Wang Yi personally wrote the opening, setting the style and tone, then handed it over to top writers to follow the chapter outline, and Wang Yi would then review and supervise, so there wouldn't be much of a problem.
He didn't stop writing until after class, when the other students had left and he finished this section.
A woman with an exceptionally striking figure walked over:
"Not bad, Boss Wang, taking notes in class again, quite diligent!"
"It's alright."
Wang Yi calmly put away his 'class notes'.
"You've become a big boss, yet you can still study so diligently, very good! Excellent!"
Huang Xinyi praised him profusely; if it were anyone else, with Wang Yi's achievements, they would probably have been unable to sit still long ago.
She couldn't help but secretly think:
'Wang Yi is talented, handsome, a business prodigy, and he loves to learn, truly impeccable!'
'The only bad thing is, he's a big scumbag, only interested in physical attraction, not emotions, serves you right for being single!'
Huang Xinyi grumbled internally, feeling a little annoyed.
After all, putting aside their teacher-student relationship, Wang Yi was very much to her liking.
Plus, her parents were pressuring her to get married, making her very stressed.
If Wang Yi were willing to be serious, she wouldn't mind developing a relationship...
Unfortunately, this guy only cared about her body!
The more Huang Xinyi thought, the angrier she got, blurting out:
"How vulgar!"
"???"
Wang Yi was bewildered.
'Is this woman sick? One second she's praising him for loving to learn, the next she's calling him vulgar?'
'Indeed, a woman's face is like the weather in June, changing in an instant!'
'What a strange thought process!'
"Are you on your period?"
Wang Yi frowned.
"???"
Now it was Huang Xinyi's turn to be bewildered:
"What do you mean?"
"If you're not on your period, why are you so emotionally unstable?"
Wang Yi sighed.
"You..."
Huang Xinyi finally understood what he meant, so angry that her entire body trembled.
But on second thought, it was indeed she who had suddenly changed her attitude, so Wang Yi's comment seemed reasonable.
She shouldn't be angry!
"Alright, I'll tolerate it."
Huang Xinyi took a deep breath:
"When I said 'how vulgar,' I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about you men, only knowing how to covet my..."
"Forget it, why am I telling you all this! Tomorrow's Saturday, we can rest!"
Huang Xinyi's cheeks flushed slightly, almost letting something slip.
Wang Yi chuckled:
"Only coveting what of yours? Your body? Haha."
Huang Xinyi's cheeks grew even redder: "..."
Precisely because her figure was too hot, it was harder for her to find someone who truly cared about her!
"Don't talk nonsense, come on, let's go to the cafeteria."
"Are you treating?"
Wang Yi teased.
"Treating? Last time you said you'd treat me to dinner and then stood me up!"
Huang Xinyi remembered that incident again.
"Who told someone to put on airs."
Wang Yi sighed:
"That Boston lobster last time was really delicious!"
"..."
Huang Xinyi said grumpily:
"You eat it yourself then."
Wang Yi ate Boston lobster and drank red wine, while she ate noodles at home...
No comparison, no harm.
"Oh right, Senior, it's the weekend again. You remember about 'a bet is a bet,' right?"
Wang Yi smiled.
"A bet is a bet... I'll wear 'pure desire' lingerie..."
Huang Xinyi's girlish cheeks instantly turned crimson.
This guy still remembered this, was he actually going to make her fulfill it?
Crazy!
Huang Xinyi was startled, then immediately became serious:
"Classmate, don't talk nonsense in school!"
"Oh, it seems someone wants to be a little dog who doesn't keep her word. It's fine, just bark twice, and we'll let it go."
Wang Yi said with a smile.
"You're the little dog, you're the one who doesn't keep his word!"
Huang Xinyi lowered her voice:
"I just wasn't ready."
"Alright, I'll give you one more week. Next weekend, a bet is a bet!"
"Okay!"
Huang Xinyi said without hesitation.
Then immediately began to regret it, a classic case of the mouth moving faster than the brain!
"It's a deal."
Wang Yi smiled, this counselor was really interesting.
So easy to trick.
"Come on, Senior, I'll treat you to dinner, Boston lobster!"
"No."
Huang Xinyi shook her head decisively:
"Eating someone's food makes your mouth soft, taking someone's hand makes it short. I'm afraid I'll get entangled, I'll just eat at the cafeteria!"
Wang Yi: "..."
"Alright, I'll eat by myself then, and send you a picture."
With that, Wang Yi walked outside.
Huang Xinyi's mouth twitched: "..."
'How can there be such a person in this world?'
'Eating by himself and then sending her a picture! Truly not human!'
"Really not coming?"
Wang Yi turned his head.
Huang Xinyi hesitated for three seconds:
"I'll go then, who's afraid of who. But it's agreed, we'll go Dutch. I'll only eat shrimp, only go Dutch for shrimp. As for the wine, you pay for yourself. I can't afford it."
"Hahaha."
Wang Yi was amused by Huang Xinyi.
Last time, Wang Yi and Lin Shu spent over ten thousand on a single meal.
Neither of them batted an eye when paying the bill.
But for Huang Xinyi, with a salary of a few thousand and needing to maintain her home, it was really a struggle.
Although the house was paid in full, utilities, property management, internet, phone bills, food, fruit, clothes, skincare products... these things basically emptied Huang Xinyi's salary.
There wasn't much left at all!
Wanting to eat a Boston lobster required tightening her belt.
"Let's go, I'll treat this time. After all, you helped me apply for the college student entrepreneurship preferential policy, which was a huge help!"
"This..."
Huang Xinyi was still hesitant.
"Don't dally, I'm hungry!"
With that, Wang Yi took Huang Xinyi's hand and walked out.
"Hey! Let go!"
Huang Xinyi's face changed dramatically, this guy was crazy.
This was at school!
If someone saw them, it would be big trouble.
"No one will see."
Wang Yi said with a smile, letting go of Huang Xinyi's hand.
Getting into the car, Wang Yi was about to set the navigation when Huang Xinyi suddenly said:
"Don't go to that place, let's go somewhere else! I know a more authentic one."
Wang Yi understood what she meant; how could it be more authentic?
She clearly wanted to change to a cheaper restaurant to save him money!
But Wang Yi still chose to respect her.
In this day and age, girls who can resist temptation and are not vain are rare.
Wang Yi didn't know how long Huang Xinyi could hold out.
Soon, the two arrived at the authentic seafood restaurant Huang Xinyi mentioned... a roadside stall!
Wang Yi was stunned:
"Is this what you call an authentic place?"
"Yes, absolutely authentic, genuine taste, and affordable."
Huang Xinyi smiled sweetly.
"Alright then."
Wang Yi found a corner and sat down.
They ordered a few signature seafood dishes and ate heartily.
The taste was indeed quite authentic and very affordable.
The final bill was only a thousand yuan!
Wang Yi looked at Huang Xinyi with a complex expression.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Huang Xinyi's willow brows slightly furrowed.
Wang Yi smiled:
"Xinyi, with your figure and looks, if it were anyone else, they'd be out fishing for rich guys every day, trying to get all sorts of benefits. But you don't fish at all, completely wasting such a good figure."
Huang Xinyi: "..."
"I'll take that as a compliment, but it's not a creative one!"
Huang Xinyi pouted:
"It's just eating, isn't it? Five-star hotels are more luxurious, and roadside stalls have more local flavor; each has its own merits. I just enjoy what's within my means. There's no need to pursue so-called sophistication and even go into debt for consumption."
Wang Yi couldn't help but look at Huang Xinyi with higher regard.
Such a down-to-earth, independent girl who doesn't pursue "delicate poverty" is rare.
He even felt bad about being a scumbag towards her!
After dinner, Wang Yi drove Huang Xinyi home, but Huang Xinyi was on high alert:
"You're not going to stay and not leave again this time, are you?"
Wang Yi chuckled:
"Am I that kind of person?"
Saying that, Wang Yi picked up his bag and walked towards Huang Xinyi's house.
Huang Xinyi was speechless: "..."
