Chapter 383: Chapter 380: Progress on the Brick-and-Mortar Store

Speaking of the Space-Time Gate, ever since the last upgrade, Lin Wanwan has brought over endangered animals from the Great Tang twice, but it hasn’t caused any changes.

No one knows whether it won’t upgrade again, or if the second upgrade requires more energy.

Regarding this matter, Lin Wanwan is also at a loss for the correct answer. Anyway, whenever she sees precious animals, she just brings some over.

Even if it’s not for upgrading the Space-Time Gate, just improving the modern ecological environment is good.

After moving all the embroidery works to the company, Lin Wanwan washed her hands of them. Next, the employees are responsible for packing them into boxes, and then the finance department registers them for storage.

As for Lin Wanwan herself, she goes into the office, turns on the computer, and starts writing a novel, pretending to be busy with work on the surface, but in reality, she is slacking off.

No one would think she’s slacking off at work, after all, Lin Wanwan personally handles every shipment as the boss.

Lately, Lin Wanwan’s novel set in the Tang Dynasty has gained traction, often entering the top twenty bestsellers list. If it weren’t for her slow updating speed, it might even squeeze into the top ten.

After writing the novel for two hours and coming out of the office, the embroidery works are already packed and registered in storage, just waiting to be shipped out.

The remaining Hanfu attracts everyone’s attention, after finishing their tasks, a group of people wash their hands and are touching the Hanfu out of curiosity.

"Everyone’s efficiency is pretty high, huh. Thank you for your hard work! I’ll treat everyone to Starbucks. What do you want to drink? I’ll order delivery." Lin Wanwan claps her hands, takes out her phone, and opens the delivery app, letting the employees choose for themselves.

"Oh oh oh! Thank you, boss! I want an Americano!" The graphic designer, Han Qingxue, is always the most enthusiastic and supportive, the first to take her eyes off the Hanfu and run to Lin Wanwan’s side to take the phone and order delivery.

"I won’t drink coffee anymore, don’t order for me." Gu Jingyu casually smiles while tucking her bangs.

Lin Wanwan looks at her facial expression and suddenly thinks of something, exclaims, "You’re not pregnant, are you?"

Gu Jingyu looks at Lin Wanwan, smiles, and nods lightly, "Yeah, quite unexpected. I didn’t plan to have kids so early."

"Haha, you’re quite fast, you just got married, and now you’re pregnant. Congratulations, congratulations!" Lin Wanwan says with a smile.

The office colleagues hear Gu Jingyu’s good news and with varied expressions, they congratulate her.

Gu Jingyu shrugs and says, "Who would’ve thought? Even my mom said it’s like planting vegetables, so easy. I initially planned to enjoy the couple’s world for a couple of years before having kids, but fate came earlier than expected."

The accountant Zhou laughs and says, "What’s unexpected? If you don’t use protection, of course, it’ll happen! Hahaha, congratulations! You’re going to be a mom!"

After everyone finishes ordering coffee and the phone returns to Lin Wanwan, she says, "Since you’re not drinking coffee, how about having a slice of cake instead?"

"That’s fine, thank you, boss, hehe!" Gu Jingyu smiles playfully.

After placing the order, Lin Wanwan pauses for a moment and then says, "Since you’re pregnant, let’s hire another operator to share some of the work."

Gu Jingyu hurriedly waves her hand and says, "No need, I can work up until the day I give birth. I’m in good health, you don’t need to worry."

Lin Wanwan laughs and says, "Even if you don’t need rest during pregnancy, maternity leave is still several months! It’s too much for Old Pan alone, we definitely need to hire someone."

"Don’t worry, I can work from home during maternity leave, using a super browser to change the IP, I’ve already set everything up!" Coming to the company and getting pregnant, even though Gu Jingyu and Lin Wanwan are good friends, she still feels embarrassed.

Women in the workplace suffer in this aspect, pregnancy and childbirth delay many things, and many companies give promotion and raise opportunities to men of equal capability.

Lin Wanwan refuses, "No need, just focus on resting at home after the baby is born. If I make you work during maternity leave, I’d become Lin Bapi! Hahaha!"

The whole company laughs along.

"Let’s settle it then, Xiaoyu, Old Pan, you two know the e-commerce circles well, recruiting someone will be up to you." Lin Wanwan decisively concludes, then changes the topic, "How about these Hanfu, what does everyone think?"

The accountant Zhou eagerly says, "They’re beautiful, these Hanfu are purely handmade, the stitches don’t look like they’re from a sewing machine! Manager Lin, what’s the cost per set? Custom handmade must be expensive, right?"

"Yes, purely handmade Hanfu, Tang Dynasty style." Lin Wanwan continues, "Accountant Zhou, I’ll send the cost sheet to your email later, you and Xiao Wu can register it. It’s private without invoices. Let’s first pack these Hanfu for storage and not ship them to overseas warehouses yet."

"Alright."

"Xiao Han, small videos and pictures of the Hanfu can be posted on accounts like Xiaohongshu to create some buzz."

"Ok!"

"Oh right, Xiaoyu, go apply for a brand for the Hanfu, I’ll send the brand name to your email later."

"Okay."

After giving instructions, Lin Wanwan helps Xiao Han carry the Hanfu into the photo studio, she still needs to take photos and process images later.

When the coffee delivery arrives, Lin Wanwan grabs a cappuccino and says, "Then I’ll head out first, I need to meet the promotion manager at Times Square. Everyone keep busy!"

"Alright, good luck! See you tomorrow!" The employees say in unison.

Since Times Square is next to the company building, Lin Wanwan doesn’t drive. Driving would be troublesome with parking, but it’s just a few hundred meters away, convenient to walk.

The promotion manager at Times Square is called Old Chen, and he is very impressed with Lin Wanwan’s persistence.

Knowing that this wealthy second generation is not just playing around, he takes it seriously, having his subordinates research Lin Wanwan’s shop on foreign websites, planning to make an exception to persuade upper management to let them settle in the square.

Of course, the reason Old Chen helps is mainly because Lin Wanwan had Su Yanwei feed him well. Just the event cost has reached nearly a hundred thousand, and he was gifted an antique vase.

Old Chen had it appraised by a professional, all saying it’s a genuine Tang Dynasty piece, there’s a chance it’ll sell for hundreds of thousands at an auction.

With such a generous gesture from the other party, not helping would be unjustified.

The first and second floor areas for blue blood and red blood brands are obviously not possible, but there’s space in the third-floor luxury area.

Lin Wanwan is quite satisfied with this location, the embroidery boutique store of Yan Yu Qi Niang is also on the third floor, sticking close to the brand is a classy thing.

Once there’s a physical store, advertising can’t just be on the Amazon website, she’s planning to invest in the entertainment circle. It can be placed in costume dramas and popular variety shows.

To build a major brand, advertising costs certainly can’t be omitted.
