Stronger by Paying Salaries and I Have 1 Billion Employees

Chen Yansen showed up in Room 206 carrying a textbook, held the morning meeting with the team, and then disappeared for the rest of the day.

That evening, Song Yuncheng stayed late in Room 206 to work overtime. She had a brick hidden in her drawer. ’If Chen Yansen tries to take advantage of me again,’ she had decided, ’I’ll definitely crack his head open.’

To her surprise, though she spent the whole evening listening intently for his footsteps, Chen Yansen never showed up. Instead, Zhang Wenbo and Xiang Pengfei came by to discuss development issues with the ”Bargain for Free” feature.

On the third day, Chen Yansen was in Room 206 for most of the day but didn’t say a single unnecessary word to Song Yuncheng. He didn’t come by in the evening, either.

For the next ten-odd days, Chen Yansen was busy managing ad campaigns and working with Zhuang Rui on strategies to improve user retention. He didn’t say a single casual word to Song Yuncheng.

Song Yuncheng breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

By late October, Wang Zihao’s external ad placement team had finally become proficient at selecting ad creatives, testing links, and managing ad spend. Their CPM and CPA data was gradually approaching the targets Chen Yansen had set.

The ”Bargain for Free” feature was in its final stages of development, with only the last round of testing and acceptance left.

”Alright, everyone, listen up,” Chen Yansen announced, clapping his hands. ”The ’Bargain for Free’ feature is about to launch. Aside from the official testing team, I want everyone to go through the entire bargain process from start to finish. Let’s try to find all the bugs before we go live.”

”Okay, Brother Sen!”

”No problem!”

”Wenbo and Pengfei are seriously fast!”

The team members replied one after another, all of them smiling.

”Also, since we don’t have a payment system, once ’Bargain for Free’ is online, all the orders will have to be manually imported by the operations team. I know it’s going to be a lot of extra work, so thanks in advance,” Chen Yansen added.

”It’s no problem for us, Brother Sen,” Chen Xu and Hu Li quickly replied.

”Don’t worry. Later on, I’ll have Pengfei develop a program to automatically import and export orders to lighten your workload.”

Chen Yansen said gently, patting both of them on the shoulder.

Afterward, he pulled Wang Zihao’s group of three into Room 204 for another brief meeting. Once they had finalized the ad placement strategy for the day, he walked out, phone in hand.

”Your friend has successfully assisted you, knocking 5.90 off the price!”

’The pop-up notification is pretty crude,’ he thought. ’It doesn’t even have an animated graphic. But hey, it works.’

Chen Yansen put his phone down and strolled into Cao Dahua’s office as if he’d been there a hundred times.
