Chapter 420
I ran my fingers through her hair and said, "Hey, it's all good, you did great!"
Lily said, ''But I'm so clumsy, I don't even know what to do.''
"Just think about ice cream or a lollipop!" I suggested gently.
Lily's face turned bright red. "Okay then!"
This time, Lily was much more confident. I was thrilled; the once haughty supervisor was finally with me.
After a while, Lily was exhausted, and I didn't want to push her any further, so I finished. "How does it taste?"
Lily was super embarrassed. "It's awful! I want to spit it out!"
I quickly stopped her. "No, you can't spit it out!"
With some persuasion, Lily reluctantly swallowed. She was so embarrassed she buried her face in my chest and wouldn't look up. I'd never seen her so shy before.
With the lights off, she nervously said, "Am I being too casual? But my parents already see you as their son-in-law, otherwise, they wouldn't let you sleep in the same room with me. But we haven't even gotten engaged or married yet, is this okay?"
"Don't overthink it." I reassured her, "Some people get married and still get divorced. Some people never get married but stay together forever. Lovers usually live together in peace."
Lily hugged me. "You're right. Just like my mom said, the more successful a man is, the more women he attracts. Now that you're starting your own business, have money, and are well-traveled, many women will definitely like you. But you still have to come home on time, understand?"
I couldn't help but laugh. "What kind of stuff did your mom teach you?"
Lily said, "It's true. I knew it from a young age. For example, when my family had a big issue, all the women around my dad disappeared."
Lillian had said similar things before; she even allowed Marry to exist. Lily continued, "In the past, I was always confident in front of you, but this time, I'm not. I'm even a bit scared and anxious, feeling like I'm not good enough for you."
"John, I really can't take any more blows, so please cherish me. I was taught from a young age to only like one person. What I said in front of Eloise was all fake!"
"I know!" I gently patted her back, softly comforting her. Her emotions gradually calmed down, and she soon fell asleep in my arms.
The next day, I got up early. After breakfast, we went to work together.
Being a vice president had its perks; at least I didn't have to squeeze into the elevator with everyone else. After a kiss in the private elevator, Lily, panting, said, "I have to go now!"
With that, she quickly left the elevator. I whistled, feeling on top of the world. As I walked into the office, I saw someone busy at my desk. "Nicole, it's you again?"
I looked at her helplessly. Today, Nicole was dressed very provocatively, wearing white lace stockings and a short skirt, with two buttons undone on her blouse, revealing pink lingerie.
"Mr. Cena, you're here." She quickly came up to help me with my bag and locked the office door behind her.
"Why are you locking the door?"
Nicole seductively said, "Mr. Cena, don't you like my outfit today?"
I coldly replied, "I don't like people who don't listen. Do you get it?"
Nicole's face stiffened, then she looked hurt. "I carefully chose this outfit, thinking you would like it."
I said impatiently, "If you want to act, go act somewhere else! Coming here first thing in the morning, do you really think others are fools? With your intelligence, you definitely can't be a good assistant."
I pointed to the door. "Get out!"
Nicole's body trembled, wringing her hands, and said fearfully, "Mr. Cena, I really didn't mean anything else. I just wanted to make you happy."
"That is simple. Being compliant, even if you do nothing else, will make me happy,, understand?"
She nodded repeatedly. "Understood! I'll leave right away!"
"Wait!"
She stopped, looking at me in confusion. I gave her a glance, then she immediately turned her worry into joy, running over to serve me skillfully. After a while, she swallowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Cena!"
I patted her face. "Be obedient, and I won't treat you badly. But if you're disobedient, I have many ways to ruin you."
"Yes, Mr. Cena!" Being patted by me, she not only didn't feel displeased but was even a bit excited. I smiled, thinking it wasn't so bad.
Today, Steven didn't come, so I went directly to WY Media Company. "How are things with Skyliart Group and Stellar Media Network?"
"The city bus service we negotiated with has temporarily stopped cooperating," Holly said. "I found out it was Skyliart Group's doing!"
Marry said, "And the Sevan City Taxi Association has also paused cooperation with us. I found out that Stellar Media Network's leader has some connections with the vice president of the Taxi Association."
I looked at them. "These two channels are very important, especially for local customers. Do you have any good ideas?"
At this point, Marry said, "I can find a way with the city bus company!"
I frowned, wondering if she was planning to use her connections. Then I aksed, "What about the Taxi Association?"
No one spoke. Such semi-official associations were hard for ordinary people to get to know. I continued, "Alright, I'll think of something. What about VelocityMart?"
Marry siad, "Someone has already gone to Greenvale City, and with the help of colleagues from the Greenvale City branch, progress is fast."
I replied, "Good, feel free to spend money. As long as we defeat the opponent. What about Dance Fusion Hall?"
"Three teams have gone to Greenvale City, Stellaris City, and Nexus City!" Marry said. "The three stores in Sevan City have profits exceeding ten million dollars, and the brand value has surpassed one hundred million dollars. By next year, our biggest expense will be rent, so we need to find ways to save money."
This was indeed a problem. The annual rent for the three stores in Sevan City was several million dollars, and the rent increased every year. Eventually, we would be wasting too much money.
I said, "Maybe we should change our approach. We can switch to a different model: one is a self-operated model, and the other is a franchise model. For self-operation, we can set up points in metropolis, and for small cities, we can recruit franchises."
The previously established academy cooperation model would also continue. Marry and the others exchanged glances. "This is a good idea. We discussed it before; it has the least pressure and can maximize our brand's visibility."
"How's the modeling agency?" I was particularly concerned about this, as well as EchoSphere.
"We currently have twenty signed models, and we've hired professional teachers to train them," Marry said, "And EchoSphere is selling well. It's gradually becoming popular in various colleges, and e-commerce is also doing well, with revenues exceeding six million dollars! Net profit is around three million dollars!"
"Such high profits? Did you use poor materials?" I frowned. "What did I say? Quality must not be compromised!"
Holly said, "Mr. Cena, don't worry. We strictly followed your plan. The quality of our trendy brand is well-known domestically. The high profit is because we don't have many labor and store expenses. Our e-commerce platform and fan channels are our own, and we have our own logistics warehouse."
