The Prince's Beloved Little Wife

Liu Jing's cousin, Meng Lili, arrived as promised. Following yesterday's agreement, after Chen Mengyao finished her opening speech, she went to the store to start a live stream. While warmly greeting her fans, she invited Chen Mengyao to join the live stream. Chen Mengyao showcased each garment in the store, explaining in detail the design style, fabric texture, and styling suggestions for each outfit. She looked radiant in front of the camera, her voice filled with love for the clothing.

"This top is so well-designed!" She picked up a light purple lace cover-up. "The cuffs are hand-sewn, the texture is really good, and the color makes my skin look brighter and suits all skin tones."

The atmosphere in the live stream was lively, with fans leaving comments and interacting frequently.

"Can you ship this by express? I want one too!"

"The clothes in this store are so beautiful! It's a pity I'm out of town, otherwise I would definitely come to the store to take a look."

"Boss, can you open an online store? I really want to buy something!"

Seeing the enthusiastic feedback from her fans, Chen Mengyao immediately smiled at her phone screen and said, "Thank you all for your love for our store! If you like any of the clothes, you can send the style, size, and address to Meng Lili via private message, and we will arrange for express delivery as soon as possible."

One fan commented in the live chat: "Can you really send a package? I'm so touched!"

"Of course!" Chen Mengyao nodded. "Although we are a newly opened physical store, we will do our best to serve every customer. As for the online store, we are already considering it, and we believe there will be good news soon. Please continue to follow Meng Lili's live streaming account!"

"Great!" another fan replied excitedly, "Then I'll be waiting!"

Meng Lili couldn't help but chime in, "Don't worry, we will definitely do our best in terms of quality and service, so that everyone can buy with peace of mind and wear with joy!"

As the live stream continued, more and more fans joined in, making the comment section lively. Some had already started placing orders, while others were repeatedly asking about details; the entire live stream was filled with anticipation and energy.

Seeing this, Meng Lili and Chen Mengyao exchanged a smile, both feeling a great sense of accomplishment. They knew this was just the beginning; the road ahead was long, but with dedication, their dreams would eventually come true.

The lively atmosphere in the live stream gradually faded. Looking at the scrolling comments on the screen, Meng Lili felt the live stream was almost over. She smiled warmly at the camera and said gently, "Dear fans, today's live stream is coming to an end! If you see any styles you like, don't forget to leave a message with the style, size, and your address. Thank you all for your support today!"

After saying that, Meng Lili skillfully closed the live stream, then took out her phone, added Chen Mengyao on WeChat, and sent her a message: "Mengyao, when I get back later, I'll send you the styles, sizes, and addresses of the orders placed by the fans."

Chen Mengyao replied instantly: "Okay, thank you for your hard work!" As agreed, Meng Lili transferred the payment to Chen Mengyao, and soon Meng Lili's phone received a notification of the payment.

At the same time, Chen Mengyao sent a bunch of pictures, along with the text: "Lili, I've sent you pictures of all the clothing styles in the store. The live stream was short just now, and I was afraid your fans wouldn't have time to take screenshots. Now they can take their time choosing."

Upon seeing the message, Meng Lili's eyes lit up, and she replied, "Mengyao, you're so thoughtful! You've considered everything so thoroughly, my fans will definitely be very happy."

Chen Mengyao said with a smile, "Since we're working together, of course we have to take care of every aspect."

The two smiled at each other. Meng Lili stood up, walked to Chen Mengyao, extended her hand, and said sincerely, "Mengyao, this collaboration was really very pleasant. I look forward to working together again next time and I'm sure we can achieve even better results."

Chen Mengyao quickly grasped Meng Lili's hand and replied, "Okay, I'm also really looking forward to the next collaboration. Let's communicate anytime if we have any new ideas."

After saying that, the two waved goodbye gently and parted ways amicably, leaving only the warm aftertaste of their friendly cooperation in the shop.

Inside the clothing store, as the first batch of customers left, the crowd outside didn't cool down; instead, it snowballed and grew larger. Pedestrians on both sides of the street stopped, holding flyers and smiling with anticipation and curiosity, before entering the store in small groups. The employees standing at the door were enthusiastic, greeting customers and handing them carefully prepared small gifts, each "Welcome!" filled with sincerity.

Stepping inside felt like entering a lively grand opening celebration. A long queue had already formed at the cashier, with many customers busy signing up for membership cards to enjoy exclusive opening day discounts. On the other side, a photo-op area was set up with a romantic, artistic backdrop, next to a prominent sign that read: "Collect 50 likes and receive a beautiful gift!" This creative idea attracted a large number of young customers who eagerly took photos and shared them on social media, creating a vibrant atmosphere.

The generously prepared gifts were quickly claimed, and news of the dwindling inventory reached Ouyang Han's ears. He stood aside, silently observing the store's operations, his brow furrowing slightly. He strode into the warehouse and retrieved a batch of insulated cups and other spare gifts from his storage space to replenish the stock. At the same time, he noticed that the number of membership cards in cashier Liu Jing's hands was also rapidly decreasing; the situation was even more chaotic than anticipated.

To cope with the sudden surge in customers, Ouyang Han immediately called the membership card manufacturer: "Hey, Manager Wang, we're almost out of membership cards. Could you send over another batch today? The sooner the better!"

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "No problem, we'll deliver it on time at 2 PM this afternoon."

After hanging up the phone, Ouyang Han breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Liu Jing beside him, saying, "We're almost out of membership cards. I've contacted the manufacturer to send an extra batch, which will arrive at 2 PM." Liu Jing nodded in response while recording the data, "Okay, I've also done the count. There are less than two hundred cards left. It seems that today's customer traffic is higher than we expected."

It was noon, and the crowd outside finally began to thin out. Chen Mengyao stood in the center of the store, watching everyone bustling about, her heart filled with satisfaction and gratitude. She knew that the success of the opening was inseparable from the hard work of every employee. So, she took out her phone, opened a food delivery platform, and without hesitation ordered a large table of food—pizza, sushi, fried chicken and fries, cola, various snacks and desserts, all to reward her hardworking colleagues. Not long after, the delivery driver brought the food, and Chen Mengyao directed them to place it on the table in the break room inside.

Seeing that there were no customers left in the shop, Chen Mengyao quickly greeted, "Everyone has worked hard, lunch is here!"

Hearing this, the employees put down their work and gathered around the table in the break area. Looking at the abundant food on the table, they all beamed with joy. "Wow, Mr. Chen is so thoughtful!" "Thank you, Mr. Chen!" "This meal is even better than going to work!"

Chen Mengyao waved her hand and smiled, "Don't mention it, you've all worked so hard today. Without you, this store wouldn't have been able to open so smoothly. After we close tonight, I'll treat everyone to an even more sumptuous meal!"

Everyone cheered with delight, creating a lively atmosphere. While they were eating, Chen Mengyao wasn't idle either; she walked over to Liu Jing and quietly asked, "How much of your membership card is left?"

While flipping through the registration form, Liu Jing replied, "There are probably more than a hundred left, but President Ouyang has already contacted the manufacturer to order more, so it should be enough."

"Yes, thankfully we replenished it in time, otherwise we definitely wouldn't have enough this afternoon." Chen Mengyao nodded. "After you finish eating, you guys take a break first. After get off work, take stock of the inventory and see which styles are selling well. I need to ask the manufacturer to send another batch as soon as possible."

"Understood, we'll arrange it," Liu Jing said with a smile.

After lunch break, everyone gradually returned to their posts to continue working. Sure enough, at 2 PM, the manufacturer delivered several hundred newly made membership cards as promised. Liu Jing eagerly distributed them to the front desk staff as soon as she unpacked them. Meanwhile, a large number of customers gathered outside the store, even more than in the morning.

"Welcome! Would you like to apply for a membership card?" "Hello, this is our new product introduction, please take a look." "Have you made your selection? I'll pack it for you." The employees moved through the crowd, busy as bees, but everyone's face was beaming with smiles.

"I really hit the jackpot today, my commission will definitely be substantial!" a young female employee exclaimed excitedly.

“That’s right, and Mr. Chen treats us so well, and the benefits are great, who wouldn’t want to work here!” another employee chimed in.

“Exactly, the atmosphere here is fantastic. Although it’s tiring, I feel very at ease,” a part-time employee next to me couldn’t help but chime in.

The shop was filled with laughter and the sound of busy footsteps all afternoon. Although everyone was exhausted, no one complained, because everyone knew that this effort would eventually be rewarded handsomely.

As night fell, the shop was about to close. Chen Mengyao stood at the door, watching the last customer leave. Turning back to look at the employees busily tidying up inside, she was filled with emotion. She said to the employees, "Thank you for your hard work today. Go and take stock of the inventory. Write down the remaining quantity of each style of clothing in the warehouse, and it would be best to take photos as well. Divide the work among yourselves and take the inventory. Send me the list when we go to dinner later. Mr. Ouyang and I will go and book a private room first, and we will send you the address later."

The employees all expressed their understanding and immediately began to divide the work and conduct the inventory check in an orderly manner. Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han walked out of the store and headed towards a nearby upscale restaurant, intending to book a private room for their celebration banquet that evening. Walking in the cool night breeze, they smiled at each other, their eyes filled with anticipation and determination for the future.

This day was not only a successful opening, but also a testament to the team's cohesion and the first step in setting sail towards a dream.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Ouyang Han and Chen Mengyao carefully selected a spacious, comfortable, and elegantly decorated private room. The room was softly lit, with several artistic decorative paintings hanging on the walls. The sofas were plush and comfortable, and the tables and chairs were neatly arranged, creating an atmosphere that was both warm and stylish. After sitting down, the two had a detailed discussion with the manager, confirming details such as the menu, serving times, and service arrangements to ensure the celebration banquet would proceed smoothly that evening.

After booking the private room, Chen Mengyao sent the address to the work group with the message, "Everyone has worked hard all day, relax tonight." Soon, the group chat buzzed with activity as employees reported on the day's sales. To everyone's delight, some popular styles were almost sold out, and inventory was running low. This was undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of their product quality and market positioning. Ouyang Han looked at the messages with a relieved smile, while Chen Mengyao immediately took action, compiling a list of missing inventory and sending it to Factory Manager Li at the garment factory.

Factory Manager Li, upon seeing the message, looked as if he knew it would happen. He had foreseen the huge success of these clothes when he first saw the design drawings and had prepared far more stock than ordered. He readily replied, "It will definitely be delivered tomorrow! Not only do we have the ones you're missing, but we also have the other styles. Want us to send them over as well?" Chen Mengyao sincerely appreciated his foresight and immediately decided to have Factory Manager Li send over all the styles of clothing, "as many as you can get," promising to settle the payment immediately upon receiving the goods the next day. Factory Manager Li agreed without hesitation, his tone filled with trust and support.

After resolving the supply issue, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief. Next, they began to think about how to reward the team for their hard work. Chen Mengyao suggested, "We need to prepare some special rewards for the employees to thank them for their contributions." Ouyang Han nodded in agreement, and the two began discussing the specific reward plan. They ultimately decided that each female employee would receive a set of high-end skincare products, a box of bird's nest, and other precious tonics, while each male employee would receive an exquisite watch, along with the same nutritional supplements. In addition, they would prepare a red envelope as an extra reward for everyone.

Without hesitation, Ouyang Han immediately took out the gifts he had prepared in his spatial storage, sorted them by gender, carefully packed each gift, and neatly arranged them on another table in the private room. To make distribution easier, he thoughtfully labeled them, separating the men's and women's gifts in an orderly fashion.

About twenty minutes later, the employees arrived at the restaurant one after another, entering the private room with a mix of fatigue and excitement from the day. They were immediately struck by the stunning decor – a pristine white tablecloth covered the table, exquisite tableware was neatly arranged, and the room was adorned with fresh flowers and small lamps, filling the air with an enticing aroma. The table was laden with tempting dishes, steaming hot, as if awaiting a grand celebration.

Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han stood in the center of the private room, smiling as they greeted each of their new partners. Once everyone was present, Chen Mengyao raised her glass, her gaze sweeping over the familiar smiling faces, her voice gentle yet firm: "Today, our restaurant has successfully opened, and this wouldn't have been possible without the hard work of every single one of our partners. You are all the best! This glass is a toast to our collective efforts and to the bright future we are about to embrace!"

Everyone raised their glasses in response, creating a warm and sincere atmosphere. With the first sip of wine, laughter quickly filled the private room. They sat together, enjoying the food and chatting about the fun they had on opening day. One employee joked, "Today a customer tried on over a dozen outfits; I was worried she might try on all the clothes in the store!" This remark drew laughter from everyone, even the waiters couldn't help but chuckle.

In this relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, team cohesion quietly strengthened. Everyone shared their ideas and suggestions, discussing future plans and goals. Some suggested trying online live-streaming e-commerce, others suggested regularly inviting fashion influencers to visit the store, some proposed regularly launching new products and starting online sales, and still others suggested holding themed styling events to attract customers... Every idea was filled with enthusiasm and anticipation. Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han noted them down, planning to develop a concrete plan later.

This celebration banquet is not only a celebration of today's success, but also a stirring prelude to future development. On this stage full of hope, they will cherish their dreams, continue to strive forward, and write their own glorious chapter.
