This road trip didn't end until the end of November.

It's not that I've had enough, it's mainly that the temperature is getting lower and lower, and I don't have as much fun as before.

After coming out for a month, the pressure in life has been almost released, and it is time to work hard to make money again.

They can't say they're completely financially free, but they're halfway there, with enough time and money to take a walk-and-go trip.

Of course, if you say you go back, you will go back.

Madoka has regained her blood and feels that she is a healthy person again, and she can continue to go back to Yangcheng to sing.

Chen Li owed more than 1 million debts all of a sudden, and he also felt that he needed to update more and make more money.

He plans to update 10,000 or 20,000 words a day after he goes back, so that the speed of repaying his debts will be much faster.

Gu Ru also felt that her body and spirit had recovered to the best state and she was ready to record an album.

It was her first solo album and her last solo album, and it represented the traces she left in this circle, and she wanted to do it in the best possible condition.

And Alili is also worried about whether there will be problems with the company's operation after coming out for such a long time.

Although I don't seem to have any problems with contacting those people in the company online every day, I still feel a little uneasy after leaving the company for so long.

When Gu Ru proposed to go back, she was the first to stand up and agree.

Then Xiaoyuan and Chen Li also came out to agree.

Chen Li owes Gu Ru more than one million, and Xiaoyuan has more than two million housing goods on his back, and both of them have the need to work to earn money.

Yan Xin, a salted fish, was a little unsatisfied, and felt that it was not impossible to continue to the west until the roof of the world to wash his soul.

But everyone wanted to go back, so he didn't insist on his idea and agreed.

He also said that he would go to the capital after he went back, and there were some things to deal with there.

During this time, he and Feng Xi also had contact, and they didn't talk much about the company, mainly about their children's private affairs.

——The matter of Jinxi E-commerce Company, those supervisors will report to Yan Xin, so Yan Xin doesn't need to talk to Feng Xi about these things.

And Yan Xin doesn't care too much about business operations, knowing that he doesn't understand, there is no need to instruct those professional people.

It is better to talk about the private affairs of children and maintain the relationship in the small chat time than to talk about those official matters.

For such a long time, the two of them have not met, and Feng Xi is still a little unhappy.

Especially when Yan Xin was traveling outside, she was alone in the capital, and in comparison, her heart was even more unbalanced.

So she had that request - after ending this trip, Yan Xin was going to her.

Yan Xin had no way to refuse, so he could only agree.

On the way they set out, it was more inkblotted, and it was not a straight line, although it was generally westward, sometimes south, sometimes north, and sometimes in a big circle.

When you find something interesting, you stay for a day, sometimes for a few days.

Went out for so long and didn't run too far.

But when I went back, the speed was fast, and I chose the fastest route, driving for more than ten hours a day, and basically didn't stop along the way.

It only took two or three days to return to Yangcheng.

After a day off, I returned to my previous life and faced the next work with more energy.

And Yan Xin flew to the capital.

It's not impossible to drive to the capital, but it's too tiring and the time spent on the road is too much, so you can only go by plane.

Originally, I wanted to rest for two more days, but the time had already reached November 30th, and this day happened to be Friday.

If you miss this day, you will have to wait for the next week.

There is no way to be tired at all, so I can only pass it as soon as possible.

This time when he arrived in the capital, it was not so late, Feng Xi and Xue Bing came to greet him.

On the way, he also talked about some things about the company's development, including several acquisitions, including the second Hanfu Goddess Competition, which is now being held on Starlight.com.

The second Hanfu Goddess Competition, the number of participants is more, the quality of those Hanfu girls is also higher, and the popularity brought by it is of course higher.

As the only sponsor of this competition, several online stores of Jinxi E-commerce Company have gained high exposure, especially the two online stores related to Hanfu, Nishang Yuyi and Spring Boudoir Dream, which have gained great traffic.

During the event, there was a significant increase in the sales figures of these two online stores.

Several other online stores have also been driven, and the sales data have increased significantly.

The sales figures for these two months are quite staggering.

Sponsoring this event is a great reward.

It's already the evening of November 30th, and the 20 finalists will be announced at 12 noon on December 1st.

The next month is the time for the 20 finalists to compete for the second Hanfu Goddess.

According to the new competition system, if you enter the finals, you will become a model of Jinxi E-commerce Company, with a guaranteed monthly salary and remuneration as a product model.

The models who signed last year earned tens of thousands of dollars a month.

And that's not my job, I can do it part-time, just take one day a month to shoot more products.

Even students can do this without delaying their studies.

In this era, I worked in a factory for more than ten hours a day, and my salary was generally more than 1,000 yuan.

Jinxi e-commerce company can provide such a contract, which is quite tempting for those grassroots girls.

The contracted models of the last session are also users of Starlight.com, and they will also share their experience of modeling, and under their publicity, more girls were attracted to participate in this event.

The more girls participated, the higher the popularity of the event, and the more netizens it attracted.

If you can enter the finals, you have the qualification to sign a model with Jinxi E-commerce Company, so the list that will come out at noon tomorrow is quite important.

It's important for those players, and it's also important for Jinxi e-commerce companies - they also need beautiful girls to showcase their products and get better publicity.

The price of finding a professional model to shoot those things is a bit high, and it is more affordable to work with these grassroots players.

Being able to enter the finals is that it is popular and beautiful, and the price is relatively low, which is much better than those small models.

Last year's finalists were the only ones who were eligible to sign a contract with the online store.

Now that Jinxi e-commerce company has done it, it has more funds, more online stores, and more products on the shelves, so they can make a decision, as long as they enter the finals, they can sign a contract with them.

But this also creates a new problem, that is, the finalists must have a certain appearance, so as to be able to drive the sales of products.

- This is a clothing model, the model himself is not beautiful, it is difficult to show the clothes beautifully, that is a disaster for product sales.

Last year, there were a few mediocre-looking people who relied on mobilizing relatives and friends to vote for the finals.

If this happens again this year, it will be a waste of resources.

However, according to the format of the platform, such a possibility is very high.

In order to attract more people to participate in this event, there must be a fair competition system, that is, those girls with mediocre appearance must also see the possibility of entering the finals, so as to arouse their enthusiasm for participation.

If only beautiful girls can make it to the finals, this event will have to stop at least 90% of the contestants.

Among the remaining 10% of the contestants, there are probably 90% of girls who are inaccurate in their positioning.

There are too many contestants and too many beautiful girls, which sometimes makes the audience feel aesthetically fatigued, and some beautiful girls can't get a high number of votes, but some mediocre-looking girls can get higher votes through funny characters or powerful groups of relatives and friends in reality.

It is entirely possible that there will be a few mediocre-looking girls in the finals, or even ugly-looking girls.

Xue Bing stands in the position of Jinxi e-commerce company, and he does not want such a situation to occur.

While driving, she put forward her own request to Yan Xin, that is, she hoped that the website could change the data, so that the girls who entered the finals would be good-looking.

[The problem of slow update of new chapters has finally been solved on the app that can change the source, download it here.]

She even put forward such an unreasonable request - I hope that the twenty players who can enter the finals in the end are all designated by Jinxi E-commerce Company.

Entering the finals relied on the votes of netizens.

This is the most participatory setting.

Theoretically, only the majority of netizens can decide which players will eventually make it to the finals.

The number of votes is the only criterion.

But that's just theory.

If the website wants a person to enter the finals, they don't need to spend money to buy tickets, just tamper with the background data.

Yan Xin has not done such a thing, for example, he asked the people on the website to increase the number of votes for Xiao Shiyu, and he has always been among the top three.

Doing the data once in a while won't make much of a difference.

But Xue Bing's request turned out to be that the twenty contestants who entered the finals were all decided by her, and it was completely black-box operation, which he really couldn't accept.

"No, this can't work," Yan Xin shook his head vigorously, "This may be good for e-commerce companies, and they can get the models they want, but it will affect the credibility of the website and the credibility of the brand of the Hanfu Goddess Competition. ”

"Do the data, netizens shouldn't be able to see it, right?" Xue Bing said.

In fact, she also knows that this will affect the credibility of the website, but she is not from Starlight Entertainment Company, but from Jinxi E-commerce, and the two bosses also promised how many shares they would give her after how many years they did, and what she needs to consider is, of course, the interests of the e-commerce company.

Yan Xin still shook his head: "It's not good to do this, netizens are not stupid." ”

Feng Xi added next to him: "Netizens are not all fools. ”

There are many netizens who are easy to deceive, and if you do the data, the vast majority of netizens can't see it.

But as long as one or two careful netizens see it, and then diverge it, then the whole network will know.

If someone makes it to the finals, there will be more people who won't make it to the finals.

Those who can't make it to the finals have resentment in their hearts and will help spread such things.

If one is not done well, the reputation of Starlight Network will go bankrupt, and this website will be finished.

Yan Xin attaches great importance to this website, it is the traffic pool he prepares for future development, and he can't let his reputation go bankrupt for this little thing.

So he was adamantly against it.

Xue Bing saw that Feng Xi was helping Yan Xin speak, he was a little depressed in his heart, and said with a frown:

"However, if we let some ordinary-looking people enter the finals, we will be very passive."

Yan Xin also knows this truth, Jinxi E-commerce Company also owns half of his shares, and the other half is his woman's, of course he also has to consider the interests of this company.

After thinking for a while, he said: "We can control this and let those who are beautiful enter the finals as much as possible." However, all the women who can't make it to the finals are beautiful women, so there have to be two ordinary ones. Otherwise, the next time there is an event, the number of participants will drop by at least ninety percent. ”

"Does the boss mean that in order to show the fairness of the event, there must be average-looking contestants to enter the finals?" Xue Bing asked.

"That's what it means, it has to be." Yan Xin said affirmatively.

Xue Bing asked a question curiously: "What if the final finalists are all beautiful players?" I'm talking about the case without doing data. ”

Yan Xin thought for a while and replied, "Then we have to find a way to let two ordinary-looking players in, so that at least it will look fairer." ”

Xue Bing couldn't help but laugh.

In order to appear fair, he did not hesitate to do a black-box operation, which sounds a bit ironic.

However, the reality is that way.

Which is more important, real fairness or apparent fairness?

For a businessman, of course, it is more important to look fair.

This event was meant to be for people to see.

Whether it is fair or not has little to do with the facts, mainly to make most netizens feel that this is a completely fair and just game.

Feng Xi said: "If you add one or two ordinary-looking players to come in, it's not too much of a problem, and it won't be a waste of money." Besides, the current makeup technology is so powerful, spend more time on makeup for them, and be more careful when retouching the pictures, it will not have much impact on the product. If it is true that the sales are not good, they will be paid some basic wages to support them, and there is not much money. ”

Xue Bing sighed secretly and said, "But we need more excellent models." ”

"If you really need to, you can choose among the unsuccessful players. Those who enter the finals can be our models, but it doesn't mean that those who don't make the finals can't be our models, it's just a matter of spending a little more money. Feng Xi said.

"That's just as well." Xue Bing said with a smile.

In fact, she still disagrees with it in her heart, and she feels that it is also a very important thing to save expenses and avoid unnecessary waste.

But both bosses mean that, and she can't say anything more.

However, she still said that she wanted to keep a few players in the finals.

She also pays more attention to this event, and there are some players that she recognizes more.

She has even made a list of 20 people.

She thought her boss would agree to let her designate the finalists.

That hope is dashed, but she still hopes that her favourites will make it to the finals.

Although it is now the last day, the competition is still fierce, and the difference between the top 50 and 60 players is not very big.

According to the experience of the previous session, on the last day, there were also cases of reversals in the last ten minutes.

This kind of event, which is decided by the votes of netizens, can happen in any situation.

Although the players she is most optimistic about have relatively high votes, she has no idea whether she can enter the finals.

Until the last minute, no one knows.

For the sake of insurance and to save money, she still hopes that the website can do some data to ensure that the players she is optimistic about will enter the finals.

Entering the finals, the website's promotional resources will focus on those twenty people, which is the time that really allows them to show and can bring them the highest popularity.

It also has a good role in promoting the sales of products.

If they didn't make it to the finals, they could indeed be signed, but without so many promotion resources and no popularity, their value would be greatly reduced.

It's not the same thing at all.

That's why she insisted on keeping a few in.

Yan Xin did not object this time.

The finalists were all named by sponsors, which was a bit too sensationalist for him to accept.

Just designate a few to enter, although in fact it causes unfairness, but this unfairness is not visible to outsiders, and it will not affect the reputation of the website, so there is no need for him to refuse.

Jinxi e-commerce company is also his company, of course he hopes that this company can get some of the best models, and he also believes that Xue Bing's vision is much better than his.

So he agreed.

After some deliberation, it was decided that Xue Bing would appoint eight people to enter the finals.

didn't get twenty designated places, but was able to get eight designated places, Xue Bing didn't have such a big regret.

Eight places are what she fought for, she took a fancy to eight players she thought were quite good, and she didn't want to lose any of those eight, so she had to fight for them.

In the end, Yan Xin gave in.

The car drove to the community where Feng Xi lived, and Xue Bing did not leave, but followed them in, and then gave a list of eight people, listed their screen names, and pushed the posts to Yan Xin.

Yan Xin looked at it, and there was a contestant he knew, with the screen name "Poetry and Painting".

It was none other than his old classmate Xiao Shiyu.

Seeing Xiao Shiyu appear on this list, I couldn't help but be stunned.

I thought to myself: "My old classmate, is she really beautiful to this extent?" ”

He had read Xiao Shiyu's contest post, and he also thought that this old classmate was beautiful.

But whether he is beautiful enough to enter the finals, he actually has no bottom in his heart.

It's too familiar, and I'm afraid that my judgment is not standard enough.

Feng Xi also saw it, remembered who it was, and looked at Yan Xin's gaze became intriguing.

Xue Bing saw that their eyes were a little strange, and explained:

"This contestant is very good, I have read some of her posts, she is beautiful in Hanfu, she is also beautiful in fashion, and she is also a college student, she is a little spiritual from the text, and she has great potential."

Feng Xi smiled and sighed.

Yan Xin nodded cautiously.

But I was very happy in my heart.

Xue Bing didn't mention it, he wanted to push Xiao Shiyu to the finals, but he didn't know how to explain to Feng Xi.

Now that Xue Bing proposed this list in front of the two of them, it was none of his business.

Xue Bing explained: "The most important thing is that she was originally very popular, and she has been among the top three in the number of votes since she participated in the competition, and she was still the first place for a while. Entering the finals and having more promotion resources, her popularity will go further. ”

Feng Xi smiled even brighter: "Looks good......"

Yan Xin nodded seriously: "It's really good." ”

But there is some emptiness in my heart.

Xiao Shiyu came out of so many beautiful girls, and her popularity entered the top three, but it didn't necessarily depend on her own strength.

The company also did not give her less data.

Of course, he will never admit this.
