'You won't be disappointed.'

He said...'you won't be disappointed.'

His words were like spinach to Popeye the sailor man. Although at first, they were dejected and frail, Lin Qian's eyes brightened up instantly.

She found it hard to believe what she had just heard. The sales were still very low in the morning, but now it was enough for Li Zhicheng to say "not disappointing," so did it mean that the sales were... good?

Over two thousand? No, Li Zhicheng definitely would not be satisfied with that. Three thousand? As far as four thousand even?

As she followed behind Li Zhicheng, they stepped into the building, took the elevator, and moved towards the IT department. Lin Qian's heart pounded quickly as if it were about to leap ahead of her to reach the computer.

As soon as they stepped into the office area, she saw all of her colleagues—who had been wearing long faces in the morning—looking radiant and joyous. Noticing their arrival, the coworkers turned to greet them. "Mr. Li!" "Mr. Li!" "Mr. Li, Miss Lin!" Their eyes sparkled with excitement.

Xue Mingtao, Liu Tong, Gu Yanzhi, and the other higher-ups were there too, sitting in the room chatting. When they glanced their way, all of them had smiles on their faces.

Lin Qian could not wait any longer. She bent over the computer screen of the co-worker closest to her. "How were today's sales? I wasn't here during the afternoon so I don't know."

This colleague had grown closer to Lin Qian over the past few days, and now her face was as brilliant as a sunflower. She turned the computer screen towards Lin Qian. "Miss Lin, see for yourself!"

Lin Qian saw the number on the screen. She couldn't believe her eyes.

"Seven thousand eight hundred fifty-three?!"

The crowd burst into laughter. Everyone started speaking at once.

"Yup! Around two or three hours after the CEO made the public announcement, only then did the sales increase rapidly—five hundred, a thousand, and then more. Good Lord! The orders that are coming in now can only be delivered after three months, but the number is still increasing!"

Another person added, "Miss Lin's online posts have contributed greatly too!"

"I can die without regret now!" A young lad exclaimed. "I really can die without regret now!"

Lin Qian felt her forehead twitch with nerves.

F*ck! This happiness came way too suddenly! Is God finally deciding to be fair for once?

Hahaha! Chen Zheng, you bastard! We sold 7,853 items in a day! Will you be pissed when you hear this figure? Should I just send you a text tomorrow? I'll write: 'Mr. Chen, thanks to you, we sold 800 items yesterday. Oh, wait, sorry, I missed a zero at the end! Hahaha!' wait, sorry, I missed a zero at the end! Hahaha!'

As she was immersed in her fantasy while staring at the screen, the higher-ups came out from the room. Smiling, Gu Yanzhi said, "Mr. Li is back. Let's welcome Mr. Li to say a few words."

Everyone stared at Li Zhicheng; Lin Qian turned around to look at him too.

He stood a few steps away from her. His handsome face remained indifferent after hearing what Gu Yanzhi had said.

Lin Qian's lips could not resist lifting. He seemed to be more suitable and comfortable sternly cheering on soldiers. What would he say now?

Li Zhicheng stood under the light. He calmly glanced around the room at everyone before he spoke. "Today's victory would not be possible without all of you here."
