Chapter 108: Presale Begins [Six Chapters Released]

Unbeknownst to when Yang Tianqi had left, he now appeared alongside Tan Fang, each carrying two large bags, making a total of four.

“Come, come, come! Your late-night snacks have arrived! Tonight’s treat is on Old Wang!”

Those few words instantly revived everyone who had been quietly settled in their seats. They all swarmed over, eager to see just how much Wang Shi had splurged.

In no time, the desserts and drinks on the table were devoured completely.

As the clock’s hands slowly approached eleven, the atmosphere throughout the office floor grew increasingly tense.

“Hello? What? You want to check the newly launched product in the women’s apparel top ten? Alright, as soon as the data comes in, we’ll assign someone to analyze it immediately.”

“Sales anomaly detected with the women’s fashion brand TT? Got it. We’ll deliver results as soon as possible.”

“What’s going on? The four-leaf clover shoe line has abnormal sales? Okay, we’ll dispatch someone to investigate right away.”

“...”

From the moment the presale kicked off, Tang Xiao and Yang Tianqi’s phones hadn’t stopped buzzing. It was as if every irregularity from across the country was laid bare before the operations room supervisors, and all these inspection orders ultimately converged on their second product operations team.

As the workload piled higher and higher, Tang Xiao and Yang Tianqi felt the pressure mounting:

“Tan Fang, message Cheng Yu and the others to hurry up. When will those data sets be ready?”

“Alright, alright! I’m on it right now!”

Though the data had yet to arrive, everyone on the team was spinning like a high-speed top, fully occupied.

If the data didn’t come soon, there wouldn’t be enough time to analyze it. The sheer volume of demands could easily crush the few of them, leaving them gasping for breath.

However, this “everyone” did not include Lin Lu and Cheng Li. The two seemed once again isolated from the world, unable to lend any assistance, sitting there somewhat dazed and out of place.

They too eagerly awaited the data—not because they wanted the extra work, but because only once it arrived could they stop sitting idle and awkwardly out of sync.

Finally, as the clock struck eleven, their inboxes simultaneously pinged with new email notifications.

“Finally, it’s here!” Yang Tianqi skimmed through the emails at lightning speed and relaxed, saying, “Everyone, stick to the categories we assigned earlier, two each! For those who didn’t receive specific product analyses, just provide hourly data overviews and product recommendations.”

While Yang Tianqi directed his colleagues to work faster, Tang Xiao was busy fending off Chen Xuajia’s relentless reminders from the operations room.

[Tang Xiao: Stop urging, stop urging. It’s no use—you’re pushing me, but we just got the data.]

[Tang Xiao: Hang in there for us a bit longer. We’re almost there!]

[Tang Xiao: We’ll definitely speed things up without compromising quality.]

“By the way, didn’t Team One owe us three people? Why haven’t they sent anyone yet?” Yang Tianqi glanced at the four remaining categories and suddenly recalled what Chen Xuajia had said earlier.

“Are there only a few categories left unassigned? If it’s not too many, let’s split them internally first,” Tang Xiao thought, weighing the situation. It was better to handle it within their team for now. Regarding ‘stealing’ manpower, they’d settle that during the day with Team One.

“Zhenzhen, didn’t you say you didn’t receive any specific product analyses earlier?”

“Yeah, that’s right. Give me the remaining four; I’ve almost finished the two I was working on.”
