Chapter 366: Clothing Factory Meeting Arrangements

After speaking, Liu Jie couldn’t help but sigh.

Ever since he brought the live streaming team to the Clothing Factory, he had high hopes of making a big impact.

But reality hit him hard. Under the various restrictions set by President Chen, their live streaming sales had remained mediocre—neither good nor bad.

By rights, their team’s salaries were supposed to be performance-based.

With such lackluster results, their income should have been minimal.

What surprised him, however, was that even with limited sales, President Chen still paid them quite generously.

Though far from the earnings of top-tier streamers, their monthly salaries were already higher than most average streamers in the business.

More importantly, they were easy to manage.

Live streaming had become as routine as clocking in and out of work. When the factory workers were on shift, they streamed. When the workers clocked out, they did too.

Of course,

That was already quite unusual, but the most surprising part was that their live streaming team, just like regular employees, had weekends off.

A live streaming sales team with weekends off.

It was the first time he’d ever heard of such a thing since entering the live commerce industry.

Most streamers, even those with modest followings, were grinding every day in their streaming rooms, constantly pushing products. Forget weekends—sometimes they barely had time to eat.

Compared to that, working in President Chen’s Clothing Factory as a live streamer was far more relaxed and secure.

Of course,

There was still a downside.

Under President Chen’s many rules, turning the live streaming team into a viral sensation was clearly going to be difficult.

Stability versus the uncertainty of going viral.

It was a choice.

Either leave the Clothing Factory and take a gamble on going viral elsewhere, or stay and enjoy a stable, comfortable job with little chance of sudden fame.

He had hesitated for a while, but in the end, he chose to stay at the Clothing Factory.

Naturally,

That decision was made after discussing it with the entire live streaming team.

They all agreed that while the odds of going viral at the Clothing Factory were slim, they weren’t zero.

What truly solidified their decision was the founding of the Mingri Group and the ongoing expansion of the Clothing Factory.

Every sign pointed to the Clothing Factory growing stronger and more influential.

Staying here was clearly a major opportunity.

Of course, to seize that opportunity, they couldn’t just sit around doing nothing.

Right now, the pet live streaming account was their chance to prove their value.

If they could grow that account and build a large following, it would be incredibly useful—whether for selling pet apparel or promoting the nearby Corner Pet Park.

So,

Lately, the entire live streaming team had been brainstorming after work, trying to figure out the best way to market the pet live streaming account.

“Alright, you guys have experience with live streaming, so I won’t interfere too much. If there’s anything you need, as long as it’s reasonable, I’ll support you,” Jiang Cheng said, giving Liu Jie an approving nod.

He didn’t know much about live streaming, so he was happy to play a supporting role.

As long as their plans didn’t harm the interests of the group or the Clothing Factory, he was on board.

With the live streaming matters settled, Jiang Cheng turned his attention to the Head of the Production Department.

“Machine improvements need to continue. Make sure to listen to the workers’ feedback and suggestions, then make targeted adjustments. Any changes to the machines must prioritize safety and efficiency.”

“If there’s anything you’re unsure about, come find me anytime. I’ll also be making regular visits to the workshop.”

“……”

Jiang Cheng quickly laid out the arrangements for the workshop.

He didn’t feel confident giving orders in other areas of the Clothing Factory, but when it came to the workshop, he was in his element.

Back when he was the Head of the Production Department, he had already begun modifying the automated machines.

After those machines were put into use, he realized that some of their functions didn’t actually improve efficiency—in fact, they sometimes made things worse.

Some features were downright useless.

He had brought this up with President Chen before.

But since President Chen had no plans to replace the machines, Jiang Cheng had taken it upon himself to improve them.

So far, two machines in the workshop had been modified, and both showed noticeable improvements in efficiency.

After finishing the workshop arrangements, Jiang Cheng glanced at his notebook. He had reached the last page.

Everything he had prepared for the meeting had now been covered.

He looked up at everyone in the conference room, confirmed that no one had any further questions, and then officially announced the end of the meeting.

……

Jiang City,

Nanhe Coffee Headquarters.

Chen Mo stood at the front, surveying the fifty-person team lined up before him. He nodded in satisfaction.

Fifty people—

Even just the travel allowances would be a considerable expense.

“President Chen, everyone’s here. We’re ready to head out at any time,” Song Xia reported after doing a headcount.

After three days of preparation, the team assigned to assist impoverished elderly residents was finally assembled.

These individuals had been temporarily transferred from various companies.

Chen Mo gave a slight nod, then stepped to the front of the group. Looking at the neatly arranged team, he spoke calmly.

“Before we set off, I want to emphasize two things.”

“First, while you’re out on this assignment, make sure you eat well and stay comfortably. All travel expenses will be reimbursed by the group, so don’t bother trying to save money.”

“Second, do not disclose anything about the charitable work we’re doing to outsiders—especially not in connection with Mingri Group. Our philosophy at Mingri Group is to do good without seeking attention. No promotion, no publicity.”

“Is that clear?”

Chen Mo raised his voice as he addressed the team.

The whole point of sending them out to eat and stay well was to spend more money.

As for the second point, he had already asked Song Xia to relay it, but just to be safe, he felt it best to say it himself.

He couldn’t afford to deal with the overwhelming enthusiasm of those so-called “kind-hearted netizens.”

“Understood, President Chen!”

The employees responded in unison, their voices loud and clear. Having the company president personally see them off was an unexpected honor, and they were all feeling proud and excited.

They couldn’t wait to brag about it to their coworkers once they got back.

And they were proud of the mission they were about to undertake.

Good.

Seeing the earnest expressions on their faces, Chen Mo felt a little more at ease.

“President Chen, we’ll be heading out now,” Song Xia said, stepping up again when she saw he had nothing more to add.

“Alright, go ahead.”

Chen Mo gave her a brief glance.

With the order given, Song Xia and Su Dan quickly began organizing the team to board the buses and head to the train station.

Watching the two of them beam with joy, Chen Mo suddenly felt like he’d punched a pillow—soft and ineffective. He had intended this as a punishment, but judging by their cheerful faces, it didn’t look like they felt punished at all. If anything, they seemed to be enjoying themselves.

If he’d known this would happen, he would’ve had them go running instead. Then he could’ve made them record a video of their run every day.

That way, he could both monitor their progress and enjoy watching them struggle.

Sigh!

What a miscalculation.

Chen Mo let out a helpless sigh. But then he thought, this was just the beginning. After a few more days on the road, after riding in trains and buses for hours on end, they probably wouldn’t be smiling anymore.

Yes.

Give it a few days, and he’d call to “check in” on them. He’d know then.

Chen Mo made a mental note, a faint smirk playing at the corner of his lips.
