Chapter 111: Spinning Like a Top (Part I)

Lin Luyou pondered for two seconds before deciding to use her lifeline again.

"Xiaoxiao, this 'top-selling product' term we're using... what is the actual definition? I'm asking Sister Yuyao for data, but I don't really understand what she's asking about..."

"Top-selling... top-selling refers to that batch of products whose cumulative sales account for 70% of the total, with each individual product accounting for more than 5%. Just tell her that, and she'll know."

Lin Luyou nodded and copied and pasted Tang Xiao's words directly into the chat box. After sending it, she didn't forget to add a little nudge.

[Lin Luyou: Sister Yuyao, this is quite urgent. If it's convenient for you, could you help me get it done first? Sending you a big heart!]

After a long while, just as Lin Luyou began to worry that her previous message might have been too blunt, Cai Yuyao replied with an "OK" gesture.

"Youyou, is it done yet?"

"Wait, wait, the data hasn't come through yet..."

Lin Luyou, who usually spoke in soft, gentle tones, had learned to communicate by shouting. After being urged by Yang Tianqi two or three times in a row, Lin Luyou began to feel restless.

[Lin Luyou: Um, Sister Yuyao, is the data ready?]

[Cai Yuyao: Hold on, the program is still running. It’s not that fast.]

Seeing this, Lin Luyou pouted and had no choice but to continue working on her basic analysis.

But even after she finished her basic analysis, Cai Yuyao still hadn't replied.

"Youyou, is the Junrui report done?"

This was the fourth time Yang Tianqi had come to urge her, and Lin Luyou felt her composure slipping. Anyone would feel anxious being constantly chased for progress, especially when she was on the receiving end of the pressure but unable to move forward.

While Lin Luyou waited for the data, the other colleagues weren't idle either.

"Lily, are you in charge of beauty products? Go check the sales of those viral items, the Shiso toner and the mushroom toner—hurry!"

"Tan Fang, take a look at the G-Max menswear. Their supplier reported that sales aren't picking up."

"Who's in charge of digital products? Whoever it is, check the overall market quickly! The aggregate data isn't looking good!"

"..."

A few minutes later, the data Lin Luyou had been longing for finally arrived.

Once she had the data, things were easier. She had already rehearsed the analysis and review steps in her mind several times, so once she had the figures, her hands moved faster and faster. Applying templates, checking for anomalies... done!

"Tianqi! I've finished the Junrui one!" As soon as she finished, before she even had a chance to save her results, Lin Luyou abruptly raised her hand to signal Yang Tianqi. "The sales drop for Junrui during this period is due to skewed inventory. Three top-selling models are out of stock at the Central China warehouse!"

"Good, got it! Save your conclusions and send them to me!"

"You got it!"

After hitting the send key, Lin Luyou finally had a chance to catch her breath. Once she slowed down, she realized that her hands were still shaking from the high-intensity work.

This job was truly nerve-wracking.

The hour hand crept slowly until it finally pointed to one in the morning.

"How is it going? How much is left to do?"

Chen Xujia emerged from the war room, clutching his laptop.

"Did you change your clothes? That looks a bit ugly."

Tang Xiao looked up at the sound of his voice and saw that Chen Xujia had taken off his original jacket and put on a red hoodie with yellow lettering. She couldn't help but frown.

Chen Xujia shrugged. "This color scheme... well, it’ll have to do. Don't gloat; you'll have your turn in a few days."
