I listened to your advice and finally became a male god.

Chapter 212 Harvest

Around noon, the first reading festival concluded successfully, and the data were gratifying.

The number of people online in the live broadcast room has been rising steadily, with more than 30,000 people at the peak. Online sales of Su Xiaoran's works have sold hundreds of thousands, and sold more than 10,000 copies.

For an e-commerce platform that is still growing, such data is gratifying enough.

After all, their platform is small after all, and the guests they invite are not traffic-oriented guests.

As for the follow-up, even if only a part of these increased traffic can be retained, it is still a gratifying thing for the growth of the overall platform.

As for Xie Shuting, the book sold out like crazy, and she has made her online debut, which is a worthwhile trip.

As soon as the show was broadcast, she asked Zhang Yang excitedly about her performance.

"I'll give you a fair ninety points." Zhang Yang looked at Xie Shuting, whose face was flushed with excitement, and said with a smile.

"Ninety percent is enough, I'm very satisfied." Xie Shuting was quite satisfied, "Oh, by the way, where are the platform's data? I didn't embarrass your platform, right?"

"The platform data is also very good." Zhang Yang said, "Let's take you to dinner to reward you."

"Farewell, I know you are very busy these days. You go and do your work first. After these days are over, let's get together again. I will wait for you in Shanghai." Xie Shuting waved her hand and smiled, and stepped forward. He hugged Zhang Yang and left coolly.

Zhang Yang stood there, looked at Xie Shuting's leaving figure, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Shuting's debut is completed, and the remaining four players are all confirmed. He just needs to wait for the task to be completed.

How should I put it, if he was a ruthless person, he could have treated Xie Shuting coldly and ignored her. But he really couldn't do this kind of thing.

"When things are over, we should make it clear. Let's make it clear." Zhang Yang said to himself.

In any case, Xie Shuting helped him a lot.

In the next few days, the reading festival activities came one after another, striking while the iron was hot, and several well-known writers successively brought their own books to the live broadcast room.

Taking advantage of this wave of popularity, the data of Haohuozhenpin has been rising steadily.

During the event, the number of people online in the live broadcast room reached a new high, and the popularity was very high. The staff of Haohao Zhenpin Company are reviewing the data every day, and the analysis shows that the number of retained and new fans in the past few days is quite gratifying.

The whole company is filled with joy and high morale.

Zhang Yang, as one of the major shareholders, is naturally happy that Haohuozhenpin is performing well. After all, maybe this is a future unicorn.

However, he is still more concerned about the things in front of him than the things in the future.

Outside the live broadcast room of Haohuozhenpin, the last reading festival event.

Zhang Yang stood outside the venue, watching the hosts and guests chatting in the live broadcast room, but his mind was far away.

"It's almost time. The mission is completed."

As time passed by, the entire reading festival planned by Haohuozhenpin was about to officially come to an end.

Near noon, the writer in the live broadcast room faced the camera and said goodbye to his book friends and fans.

Zhang Yang suddenly raised his head, with only joy in his eyes.

Ding!

Congratulations to the host, mission: increase the popularity of the live broadcast room of Good Goods and Premium Products (Completed)

Mission reward one: fifty experience points

Task reward two: Replace the smallest industry under the host's name to a random size. (To be collected.)

After struggling for several weeks, although there were twists and turns, the task was finally completed without any danger.

The harvest time has arrived again.

Zhang Yang didn't say anything, he was immersed in the system, ready to check his harvest.

Needless to say, the fifty experience points as reward one go without saying. After all, experience points are the cornerstone of your upgrade and your basic base.

As for now, he only cares about the second reward.

[Replace the smallest industry under your name to a random size]

"Receive reward two." Zhang Yang thought silently in his heart.

Ding!

Receiving reward two:

The smallest property under the host's name is the Shudu Roast Duck Magic City Head Office, which is being randomly replaced.

Congratulations to the host, the main store of Shudu Mao Roast Duck Magic City has been successfully replaced by [Tangwang Hot Pot] with 70 stores nationwide.

Zhang Yang's eyes widened slightly and he was shocked.

It's not that the scale of this industry is big, but that he has actually eaten at this store.

This hot pot brand specializes in health-enhancing soup base, and the taste is quite average. The impression given to him by the single store is that the decoration is very high-end, and it is definitely not comparable to ordinary hot pot restaurants.

As for the unit price per customer, it is almost comparable to that of a certain company. In today's hot pot market with a scale of hundreds of billions, it is already a small group that stands out.

"It turns out to be this store. The system will not deceive me!"

Although he had expected it and knew that the system would generally not cheat him, the industry replaced this time still surprised him.

This is Soup King hotpot.

Even if it is not as good as Haidilao, it is not as good as those queue kings that are popular in major top business districts, but it is not unknown. In some special times, it can barely be regarded as a small queue king.

The system prompts that the relevant property rights shares are being processed. Zhang Yang can just wait for the processing to be completed.

Anyway, the father of the system will take care of things, so he can rest assured.

With nothing to do, he simply checked the public information of Tangwang Hotpot.

Tangwang Hotpot, headquartered in Liangxi, currently has 70 stores across the country, mainly concentrated in Jiangsu Province, Shanghai, and Zhejiang Province.

Last year, the total revenue of the 70 stores was about 110 million, the net profit was more than 100 million, and the net profit rate reached more than 9%.

It is another huge industry.

Moreover, in addition to these 70 stores, Tangwang Hot Pot has also built a base processing factory, two central kitchens, and a total number of employees of thousands.

It’s not surprising that there are so many people. After all, this is the catering industry. A certain Laodian restaurant basically has a staff of hundreds or so. As for Tangwang Hotpot, its size is naturally not comparable to that of a certain Laodian restaurant, but the single restaurant is at least dozens larger. Employees can make things work.

Counting the base processing plant and two large central kitchens, there are naturally thousands of employees.

To be honest, when I suddenly thought that thousands of people were going to be relying on me to make a living, it felt like an indescribably heavy responsibility.

"The scale of the industry has increased again." Zhang Yang said to himself.

Counting Tangwang Hot Pot, his current industry scope can be considered to cover office buildings, commerce, hotel industry, catering industry, investment, and spans several major industries.

His various income a year, including his annual cash rebate, must be more than 400 million.

This does not include the growing assets and returns brought to him by the venture capital company's annual investment quota of 300 million.

Assets are several billion, and annual income is more than 400 million.

Looking back, he has taken the path of becoming a rich man further and further and wider.

For a moment, Zhang Yang's heart was inevitably filled with excitement, and he felt like the sky was high and the sea was vast, allowing me to roam.

Of course, with huge assets, his own abilities must keep up. Zhang Yang decided that the next step was to complete Hetian Chuxi's cameo mission as soon as possible. After all, one of the rewards for completing that mission was the junior experience book of a Fortune 500 boss. Although he is only at the beginning level, he is definitely able to control the scale of his current industry with ease.

"Huh? This is it?" Just as he was thinking about it, Zhang Yang's cell phone suddenly rang.

Looking down, he was slightly startled.

It turned out to be a message sent to him by Xie Shuting.

"You just watched the live broadcast. Are you finally done with your work? Are you free to hang out with me?" Xie Shuting asked.

"Okay, I just have some free time." Zhang Yang thought for a while and agreed readily. "I'm free this afternoon."

"Okay, let's see you in the afternoon." Xie Shuting replied happily.

After leaving Haohao Zhenpin, Zhang Yang went straight back to his home at COFCO Seaview No. 1, and then walked into his cloakroom.

All kinds of luxury brands bought are piled here in different categories.

He looked up and down and selected a Hermès bag, which cost about 200,000 yuan, and planned to give it to Xie Shuting later as a gift in return for the clothes she bought for him last time.

Then, it’s time to say something clearly.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yang drove to Cullinan and went straight to Taikoo Li Qiantan, which he had agreed with Xie Shuting.

He met Xie Shuting outside a coffee shop.

Today, Xie Shuting is wearing a long skirt and light makeup. She looks fresh and graceful with delicate features.

"Hey, Zhang Yang, you're here." She smiled and waved. "what do you drink?"

"Same as you." Zhang Yang sat down, put the bag on the table and pushed it over, "By the way, this is the bag for you."

"Bag? Hermès?" Xie Shuting opened her eyes slightly and took out the bag, "Zhang Yang, this bag definitely doesn't cost two for one. Are you crazy to give me such an expensive bag?"

"It's just a return gift." Zhang Yang smiled.

"You just want to give me a gift in return. Does your company give you a bonus for giving such an expensive thing?" Xie Shuting gently took the bag in her hand and rubbed it gently, with unconcealable affection in her eyes.

Zhang Yang smiled and did not answer.

"Okay, I'll accept the package. Thank you, Zhang Yang." Xie Shuting thanked her solemnly, "By the way, this trip to the Magic City is over, and I plan to go back."

"So urgent?" Zhang Yang was surprised.

"That's right, there's no one to keep me here, why should I continue to do my job?" Xie Shuting looked at Zhang Yang and said. "Do you...do you want me to stay?"

"Let's not talk about this for now." Zhang Yang was silent for a moment, then simply said, "Let me tell you something else."

"What are you doing, looking so serious and businesslike?" Xie Shuting pursed her lips and smiled, gently stirring the coffee spoon. "Say, I'm listening."

"I actually... lied to you a lot." Zhang Yang said.

"What could you lie to me? You didn't cheat me out of money, nor did you cheat me out of sex." Xie Shuting reached out and took Zhang Yang's hand, "Tell me, what did you lie to me about?"

"Well, I'm actually not an employee of Haohuozhenpin. To be precise, I'm actually a shareholder." Zhang Yang said. "Those words about wanting to resign are all lies and are just excuses to deceive you."

Xie Shuting was stunned, but her reaction was not too strong.

"No wonder, you are trying to retreat in order to advance, right? Well, you can win my sympathy, but I thought you were an office worker." She patted Zhang Yang's hand and murmured, "Then... Say, you are actually very rich, right?"

"Yes, very rich." Zhang Yang was quite honest.

"You are really not humble at all." Xie Shuting couldn't help but said, "Don't you know how to keep a low profile?"

"You may not understand what I mean. What I want to say is that I actually took advantage of your good impression of me... Do you understand?" Zhang Yang didn't bother to continue lying and simply said it frankly, " I’m not single either, I have a girlfriend.”

The scene suddenly fell silent.

The clerk on the side brought coffee. Looking at the couple in front of him, he suddenly didn't dare to express his anger. Even he felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere.

"You...have a girlfriend?" Xie Shuting's voice suddenly felt dry.

"Yes, ever since I came to find you... you know that I came with a clear purpose." Zhang Yang said straightly.

"The purpose is to invite me out?" Xie Shuting's eyes widened slightly and she looked at Zhang Yang blankly.

Zhang Yang nodded.

"What virtues and abilities do I have? I've spent so much time working for you. Is there any reason why you have to hire me?" Xie Shuting took a deep breath, "Then let me ask you one last question."

"Just ask." Zhang Yang took a sip of coffee.

"Those things I thought... were really just deliberately created illusions. I just thought, was it my wishful thinking? You didn't care about me at all..." Xie Shuting stared into Zhang Yang's eyes, waiting for the final answer.

Zhang Yang didn't know what to say.

Because they had a purpose from the moment they met, the relationship between the two was not pure from the beginning.

"I understand, no wonder I was so proactive that night, and you..." Xie Shuting nodded, her face a little pale, "Then I thank you for not touching me."

"You..." Zhang Yang wanted to say something else.

However, Xie Shuting stood up immediately, threw the Hermès bag into his arms, then turned around and ran away without looking back.

"What the hell is this?" Zhang Yang said to himself, shaking his head, not knowing what to say.

He quite understood the power of those words just now. It's like to say that all the beautiful imaginations have been torn to pieces.

Looking down at his phone, Zhang Yang couldn't bear it and wanted to send a message.

The first one was sent.

Article 2, red exclamation mark.

Zhang Yang thought for a while, lowered his head and deleted the dialog box. Forget it, let's leave it like this.

He didn't know where Xie Shuting was going next, whether to continue returning to Huangling in Wuyuan and write in a foggy and rainy inn, or to go home, or to go anywhere.

"If the chapter about me in her novel follows this direction, wouldn't it collapse?"

Zhang Yang muttered to himself, knowing that this had nothing to do with him.

Later, he called the hotel to inquire and found out that Xie Shuting checked out of the room not long after that afternoon.

As for where he went, no one knows.

In the evening, Zhang Yang made a simple dinner at his home in COFCO Seaview No. 1. After eating, he suddenly saw the suit on the hanger and was slightly stunned.

It was a suit that Xie Shuting bought for him when he was shopping. It was not expensive and fit him very well.
