Chapter 61 Jingle ling~

The equity dividend agreement was sent over by Rong Niangqing’s family lawyer.

The lawyer also brought a message:
"Miss Rong appreciates your hard work, and asks that you please be sure to accept this gift."

Although Rong Niangqing came from a wealthy and prominent family, she never skimped on the rewards she owed others.

Lü Yao was not one to put on false modesty. After accepting the equity dividend agreement, he asked the lawyer to convey his thanks.

Aside from these agreements, Lü Yao also received a delivery sent by Boss Chen, the manufacturer. Inside the package were the design drafts for the new style of intimate apparel that Lü Yao had sent to Boss Chen a few days prior.

Boss Chen had rushed to produce the samples and mailed them to Lü Yao for inspection.

As Lü Yao leveraged traffic outside the e-commerce platform to stimulate an explosion of orders, other intimate apparel shops on the platform would undoubtedly follow suit very quickly.

Similar and identical products would appear everywhere.

Not only that.

These shops would also use higher prices to bid for "keywords," and product prices would begin a vicious race to the bottom.

In the end.

There might even be instances of selling at a loss.

This was an old flaw in domestic business.

Once a breakout hit emerged in a certain industry, other merchants would inevitably start a frantic internal competition.

Even if they made no money, they would try to drag their competitors down with them.

This was also human nature, impossible to stop.

Therefore, Lü Yao could only play a game of timing differences. The moment a bestselling product appeared, he had to immediately begin operating the next one, pouring his productive forces into the next hit product before those foolish rival merchants even realized what was happening.

This was how he ensured his shop's leading position.
Therefore.

Clearly, those previous styles of intimate apparel had only just gone viral, yet Lü Yao had already started moving into the production cycle for the next product.

This time, Boss Chen had sent three samples.

They were similarly new styles learned from the future.

Among these three, Lü Yao's favorite was a Chinese-style piece of intimate apparel.

This garment consisted of only a collar, a pair of wristbands, several sturdy silk ribbons, and specially sewn fabric loops attached to the collar and wristbands.

The ribbons could be threaded through these loops and fastened securely.

To any veteran player, a mere glance at these components would make it immediately clear how they were meant to be used and played with.

The ways to play with it were even quite diverse.

However, the domestic market was full of novices, and there were even old-school drivers who had been married for three or four years and still only knew three or four positions.

Therefore, as Lü Yao twirled those small pieces of fabric in his hands, he thought to himself that if he wanted to promote this product, he would also have to popularize the ways to use it.

Once a product carrying its own educational value like this was promoted, customers on the internet would form a default cognition deep in their hearts—this shop wasn't just a place to buy products, it was a place to acquire knowledge!

Then, they would browse the shop from time to time to see if there was anything new.

This could also be considered a kind of protective moat.

As for how well this product actually performed...

Lü Yao planned to test it out with Older Sister Wang tonight!

...

Late at night, Older Sister Wang returned to the apartment where Lü Yao lived after finishing a day of busy work.

During the few days Lü Yao was away on inspection tours, she had been staying here.

Even though Lü Yao wasn't around, this place bore the traces of his daily life.

Every night when she couldn't sleep, getting close to the pillow Lü Yao had slept on would make her heart feel a little more grounded.

Yet tonight, the moment she opened the door, she caught the fragrance drifting from the room.

Older Sister Wang's spirits lifted instantly.

He was back?

She peeked toward the kitchen, and sure enough, she spotted Lü Yao.

He had changed into loose, comfortable homewear and was busy in the kitchen wearing an apron. Hearing the movement at the front door, he turned his head, glanced over, and greeted her with a smiling expression: "Right on time, I made seafood porridge."

Older Sister Wang's heart instantly warmed.

Indeed.

It was better to have someone in the house.

Although many avant-garde women nowadays advocated for freedom and high-quality single life... humans were social animals, and remaining unattached for too long not only easily caused physical problems, but psychological ones as well.

A truly high-quality single life wasn't about being unattached all the time.

It was about having no one on your mind, but someone by your side.

This was also why young men and women in big cities easily developed psychological problems, while people in small counties with three or five close friends were much happier.

At this moment.

Older Sister Wang's fatigued body and mind relaxed all at once.

She slipped into soft, comfortable slippers and smiled, asking, "Why didn't you tell me when you came back?"

Lü Yao smiled from the kitchen: "Then it wouldn't be a surprise."

"Of course, if my sudden return happens to interfere with the joy of three people, you must send me a message in advance."

Older Sister Wang: "..."

She said with feigned annoyance: "Am I that kind of person in your eyes?"

Lü Yao laughed: "Just joking. Go take a shower, the porridge will be ready soon. By the way, I brought you a gift back."

Oh?

Guess you still have a conscience!

The slight grievance in Older Sister Wang's heart was instantly knocked away by the mention of a gift, and she happily skipped off to the bathroom to shower.

By the time she came out, Lü Yao had already served the seafood porridge on the table and thoughtfully ladled out a bowl for her.

And Older Sister Wang...

Had put on the purple long dress Lü Yao had given her.

Indeed.

Older Sister Wang might not say it out loud, but her heart was already craving Lü Yao.

Lü Yao patiently finished the seafood porridge with Older Sister Wang, and even took the initiative to take care of the dishwashing afterward.

While Lü Yao was busy, Older Sister Wang leaned against the edge of the kitchen counter and looked down at him: "You're a bit too well-behaved today. Have I lost my appeal?"

Lü Yao wiped his hands dry: "Didn't I say I brought you a gift?"

Older Sister Wang understood in a second!

"Oh~ So it's that kind of gift~ How mischievous of him!"

Even though that kind of gift was given to her, at the end of the day, wasn't the user still Lü Yao?

Despite saying that, Older Sister Wang's gaze clearly began to grow tender and lingering.

Even though the user of such things was Lü Yao, the pleasure was shared by two people. Especially since Older Sister Wang's pleasure often even surpassed Lü Yao's.

Lü Yao handed Older Sister Wang the souvenir he had brought back from Xuchang.

It was a red box about the size of a ring box.

So small?

Older Sister Wang seemed to realize something was amiss.

When she opened the box, she discovered inside was a golden, thumb-sized bell, its surface engraved with auspicious cloud patterns.

Wasn't this usually a gift given to babies for their first birthday?

Older Sister Wang looked up at Lü Yao, completely baffled as to what this item was for.

It wasn't even suitable to wear outside!

Lü Yao said earnestly: "It's made of solid gold."

Older Sister Wang laughed speechlessly: "Even if it's solid gold, it's not suitable for me to use, is it?"

Lü Yao then pulled out that piece of intimate apparel consisting only of a collar and wristbands from behind his back, and before Older Sister Wang could react, he reached out and gave a tug at the back of her neck!

The ribbon tied around Older Sister Wang's neck came undone in an instant.

The satin purple long dress instantly slid down like flowing water.

"Ah!"

Older Sister Wang instinctively moved to cover herself, but Lü Yao grabbed both her wrists: "Don't move."

Then Lü Yao placed the collar-like piece of intimate apparel around Older Sister Wang's neck, took the golden bell from her hand, and fastened it onto the hanging loop in the middle of the collar.

Once Lü Yao finished dressing her, he took a step back to admire the Older Sister Wang before him.

Indeed, it had a completely unique flavor to it~

Under Lü Yao's appreciative gaze, Older Sister Wang's face flushed a deep red instantly, so embarrassed she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Yet the more she acted like this, the more Lü Yao loved it~

So he raised his hand and flicked the bell at Older Sister Wang's neck gently—

"Jingle bell~~"

The sound of the golden bell was crisp, melodious, and exceptionally captivating!
