Chapter 66: Chapter 65: Brother Bin, Our Nephew Is in the Newspaper

The second floor of the Innovation Park was bright as day and buzzing with excitement.

The conference screen from Room 206 had been pushed into the center of the hallway. Right now, the entire FoxTao team, along with Tang Qingshan, several deans, and Cao Dahua, were gathered around it.

Only ten minutes remained until midnight. Chen Yansen hadn’t expected FoxTao’s first time participating in a major e-commerce platform promotion would cause such a stir.

He had planned to go back and rest early, but Tang Qingshan and the deans wouldn’t hear of it. They insisted on staying up with everyone until the clock struck twelve to witness the final Singles’ Day numbers firsthand.

”Class President, the hotel is booked. After we clock out, we can go check in directly,” Xu Xingxing said softly, squeezing through the crowd to get to Chen Yansen’s ear.

”Make an announcement in the project group chat,” Chen Yansen instructed with a slight nod.

The dorms locked up at ten. Of course, with Tang Qingshan and the deans present, they could get back into their rooms anytime. The issue wasn’t getting back, but showering—he couldn’t have everyone take a cold shower, could he?

So, Chen Yansen had told Xu Xingxing in advance to book over twenty rooms, ensuring everyone would have a comfortable place to rest.

Xu Xingxing agreed and pulled out her phone to type the message.

”Total orders: 297,000!”

”Total sales: 18.69 million!”

As the clock struck midnight, the second floor erupted in cheers.

Everyone’s faces were alight with excitement. The staggering sales figures were far beyond their wildest imaginations, and they all felt a deep sense of pride for having been a part of it.

”Chen Yansen, excellent work! In next year’s collegiate entrepreneurship competition, if you take second place, no one would dare claim first,” Tang Qingshan praised with a wide grin, patting Chen Yansen’s shoulder.

”It’s all thanks to your support and mentorship, President Tang. FoxTao will continue to strive for excellence and bring honor to Xucheng Academy...” Chen Yansen responded with practiced ease. His few short sentences were perfectly tailored to please Tang Qingshan, leaving him extremely satisfied.

After seeing Tang Qingshan and the others out the door, Chen Yansen returned to the second floor. He saw everyone staring at him in unison, their faces full of anticipation. ’He knew if he didn’t say something, this bunch of rookies wouldn’t be able to sleep.’

”Hu Yun, what’s our gross profit margin?”

Chen Yansen asked after a moment’s thought.

”Brother Sen, the gross margin is 3.9%. Our gross profit for yesterday was 729,000!” Hu Yun answered immediately.

”It’s getting late, so I’ll be brief. You all have the morning off tomorrow. Also, at the end of the month, I’ll be putting up 200,000 as this month’s bonus. Our next goal: 100,000 orders a day, and break 100 million in monthly sales. The month we achieve that, the bonus doubles!”

Chen Yansen stood with his arms crossed, dropping the statement nonchalantly. But it landed like a bombshell, and the crowd erupted in another cheer.

”SHH!”

Chen Yansen made a hushing gesture, then waved his hand, signaling for everyone to shut down their computers and head to the hotel for the night.

”Brother Sen, are you going back to the dorm or to the hotel? I asked Wenbo, Pengfei, Zhuang Rui, and Xu Xingxing to get some barbecue, want to come?” Wang Zihao asked, walking over with a grin.

”Nah, you guys go ahead.” Chen Yansen glanced at his watch. It was already 12:30 AM. ’Go eat barbecue with a bunch of fools? I’m not interested.’

”Aw, c’mon. I already promised them you’d come. Do a brother a favor, give me some face,” Wang Zihao pleaded, lowering his voice ingratiatingly.

”Unless you call me Dad!” Chen Yansen said with a completely straight face.

”Dad!” After a brief hesitation, Wang Zihao shamelessly cried out. From the look on his face, if Chen Yansen wasn’t satisfied, he was prepared to shout it with even more feeling.

”You shameless bastard, I really don’t know what to do with you!” Chen Yansen was taken aback, half-furious and half-amused.

’In this life, under his deliberate tutelage, Wang Zihao had already developed the beginnings of a thick-skinned rogue’s character. If he ever ran into a toxic girl again, he probably wouldn’t be so spineless as to try jumping off a building.’

As the lights of the Innovation Park went out, a large crowd of people headed off campus.
