Stronger by Paying Salaries and I Have 1 Billion Employees

’He’s not taking Meng Jie on the business trip to Norway, but he’s taking me. That proves Chen Yansen likes me more.’

At this thought, a happy smile touched Song Yuncheng’s lips, and she giggled to herself while sitting alone in her chair.

’As for a business trip to Norway?’

’It was just a load of crap meant to fool a kid!’

’She wasn’t falling for it!’

”What are you thinking about? Anyone who didn’t know better would think you went to Sichuan to study face-changing. One moment you’re all gloomy, and the next you’re smiling so wide your eyes disappear.”

Chen Yansen put away his phone and asked with a grin.

”Can’t I think about something happy?” Song Yuncheng said defiantly, a faint smile on her face.

”Have you prepared the materials for the Spotify visit?” Chen Yansen asked casually.

In truth, his trip to Norway was 99% for fun. The remaining 1% was to discuss a music copyright partnership with Spotify for their short-video platform.

Spotify had over 20 million active users globally, with about 25% being paying customers. It had considerable influence in Europe and America, and the audio resources used by the Alexa Smart Speaker were sourced from Spotify.

And the headquarters of this music service platform was in Stockholm, Sweden!

That’s right, not in Norway.

From this, one could see just how perfunctory President Chen’s reason for the business trip was.

”I’m not very familiar with music licensing in Europe and America, so I asked Wang Teng for some information. I’m not sure if it’s what you need.”

Song Yuncheng explained honestly.

”It’s fine. Just email it to me for now,” Chen Yansen said with an unconcerned wave of his hand.

”Okay.” As soon as the conversation turned to work, Song Yuncheng immediately returned to her professional self.

”We fly to Copenhagen first, then connect to Oslo. Norway, this damn country is so fucking remote.”

Chen Yansen leaned back in his chair and couldn’t help but complain.

”I looked up some guides online. We should be able to see the aurora at this time of year.” Song Yuncheng pursed her lips, her eyes shining with anticipation.

”There’s plenty to do. The aurora is just the start. Skiing, hunting, and going out to sea are also a lot of fun.”

Chen Yansen added unhurriedly.

In his past life, he had taken many of his girlfriends there. Although the scenery was the same, the girl sleeping next to him was different, so each experience was also different.

Some were tight, some were bouncy, some were short; each had their own merits.

”You say it as if you’ve been there before,” Song Yuncheng giggled, asking innocently.

Chen Yansen just smiled faintly and said nothing.

It wasn’t until 10:30 at night that the boarding announcement came over the broadcast. The two of them went through the priority lane and walked down the jet bridge into the aircraft cabin.

With a flight of over ten hours ahead, Chen Yansen wasn’t about to make himself uncomfortable, so he booked first-class seats.

Looking out the window, the vast airport runway was pitch-black, illuminated only by rows of runway lights.

Twenty minutes later, the plane taxied slowly, then lifted off, and soon entered the stratosphere.

...

...

The next morning, Chen Yansen slowly opened his eyes. He was still on the plane.

Beside him, Song Yuncheng was drowsy. Her eyelids fluttered, and before he could speak, she fell asleep again.

Chen Yansen turned on the Airbus screen in front of him, put on his headphones, and randomly picked a movie to pass the time.

Meanwhile.

Over sixty after-sales repair personnel from the Orange Phone Factory pushed their suitcases, departing from Shencheng City for places like Jinling, Hu City, Yanjing, and Hang City.

On October 1st, Orange Technology would open its first batch of offline, directly-operated stores in the provincial capitals of the North China, East China, and Southern China regions.

First, to fully showcase products like the Orange Mobile Phone, Moss Smart Speaker, Bluetooth headsets, power banks, and phone accessories, providing users with a hands-on experience to boost their confidence in making a purchase;

Second, to supplement online sales channels and meet the instant purchasing needs of users, especially middle-aged and elderly customers unfamiliar with online shopping or consumers who want to inspect the product in person;

Although the e-commerce industry was in a period of rapid growth in 2012, offline sales still accounted for more than half of all smartphone purchases.
