This was the first time Lin Luyou had ever encountered so many senior executives at once. She quietly shuffled her feet, shrinking back into a corner to avoid drawing their attention as much as possible.

Stepping out of the elevator lobby, Lin Luyou couldn't help but share this experience in their little gossip group chat.

[Tang Xiao: Hahahahahaha]
[Tang Xiao: You must have taken Elevator No. 3]

Lin Luyou recalled the location of the elevators and couldn't help marveling at her divine foresight.

[Tang Xiao: Scroll up and check, we've complained about it before]
[Tang Xiao: Da Ming and Sister Nan, heaven knows what kind of preference they have, they always take Elevator No. 3]

Just as Lin Luyou was about to say she had no recollection of this, she saw another message pop up from Tang Xiao.

[Tang Xiao: Oh, almost forgot, you hadn't arrived yet back then]

Seeing this, Lin Luyou could only mentally let out a dry "heh heh" to express her feelings.

[Chen Xujia: So, how did it feel?]

The aura of those people was simply too overwhelming; it was definitely not something a small fry like her could handle...

[Lin Luyou: I swear, I'll take a detour next time! I am definitely never stepping foot in Elevator No. 3 again!]

Yet, the vow she had made so solemnly that morning was broken by noon.

At lunchtime, the colleagues all arranged to grab a meal together. The elevator arrived, and Tang Xiao, Yang Tianqi, and the others stepped inside first. Tang Xiao glanced at Lin Luyou, who was still standing outside, and teased:

"Are you really not coming in? Da Ming and the others aren't here."

Lin Luyou quickly scanned the people inside the elevator, and after confirming that Liu Enming was not among them, she finally stepped inside.

"I really have no idea what happened to this kid this morning to scare her like this."
"It was practically terrifying!"

Even recalling it now, a lingering fear remained in Lin Luyou's heart. She truly did not want to experience that ever again.

Back in the morning, she had squeezed into the elevator, intending to minimize her presence as much as possible. But precisely because Zhao Mian had taken the initiative to greet her, everyone in the elevator instantly noticed her.

"You're also from the Operations Department?"

Liu Enming probably found her face somewhat familiar, and seeing that Zhao Mian knew her, he asked casually.

"Yes, yes, I'm from Group Two of Product Operations." Lin Luyou hurriedly nodded and replied. She simply couldn't bring herself to call him "Da Ming" to his face the way Chen Xujia and the others did, so she could only offer a stiff "Good morning."

Liu Enming nodded in acknowledgment.

Just when Lin Luyou thought the matter was over, she heard him suddenly speak up again:

"How was the overall performance of the men's and women's apparel categories yesterday? Also, what about the sales figures for TT, G-Max, and Fashion Fiend on our platform?"

Lin Luyou froze for a moment upon hearing this before answering:

"Yesterday, the men's apparel sales..."

As she spoke, she felt an immense wave of relief:

Fortunately, the two categories randomly quizzed happened to be the ones she was personally in charge of, and since TT, G-Max, and Fashion Fiend were the top-ranking brands within those categories, she still had a clear impression of the data.

"No way, this is the first time I've realized Da Ming is such a freak! Cornering someone to ask for exact figures? He can literally see all that stuff himself once he gets back to his office!" He Suzhen's expression was the most exaggerated of all. "What's even scarier is you, little Youyou—how on earth did you manage to remember so many numbers?!"

"That was purely a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse... While I was organizing and analyzing the data yesterday, I typed those numbers back and forth several times, so I guess it just formed a sort of muscle memory?"

Lin Luyou gave a wry smile.

"It's also a blessing that he asked about men's and women's apparel. If he had asked about anything else, I guarantee I wouldn't have remembered a single digit..."
