Chapter 484 New Product Launch

Chapter 484 New Product Launch

Ji Shu was thriving both in her personal life and career.

Since Yun Mu joined the company, the new car model had been highly anticipated even before its official launch.

Of course, the automotive industry was booming in recent years, and competitors were never in short supply. Coincidentally, a foreign-invested car company named Bory was also preparing to launch a new car this year, directly competing with Ji Shu's company.

The public was eagerly watching to see which company's new product would come out on top.

On Yun Mu's recommendation, Ji Shu scheduled the new car's launch event for the 5th of this month.

This was Ji Shu's first major venture and also Yun Mu's first project after stepping down as the head of the family, and both were deeply invested in it.

However, due to Yun Mu's health issues, many company matters were still managed by Ji Shu. Although Ji Shu appeared lively and delicate, she had meticulously organized this new product launch.

The day before the launch, Ji Shu was busy checking preparations until 10 PM. Just as she was about to leave, a security guard stopped her, "Ms. Ji, a woman came to the company today wearing a work badge, so I couldn't stop her, but her face seemed unfamiliar..."

Ji Shu frowned, "Which direction did she go?"

"Towards the server room, I think," the guard recalled.

Ji Shu nodded, "Around what time? I'll check the surveillance."

"Between 3 and 4 PM."

"Alright, thank you."

Ji Shu went alone to the control room and pulled up the company's surveillance footage. The camera didn't capture the woman's face, but the footage showed her entering the company, going to the restroom, and then disappearing.

Probably nothing, right?

This incident was just a small interlude, and Ji Shu didn't pay much attention to it.

The next day, the new product launch began.

This launch event not only introduced the new product but also opened an online ordering channel, with the number of car orders being broadcast live in real-time to ensure complete transparency.

Yun Mu had also spent a fortune inviting several top celebrities to endorse the event, sparing no expense on promotion.

When the time came, Ji Shu, dressed in a simple and professional suit, stepped onto the stage to begin the day's launch event. Yun Mu, wearing a white veil, sat by the stage, keeping a close eye on the ordering website.

As time passed, with just ten minutes left before the online ordering countdown began, a staff member suddenly rushed to Yun Mu's side and whispered a few words.

Yun Mu slightly frowned, her gaze quickly scanning the crowd on stage. Her red lips curled with a hint of disdain, and she calmly told the staff, "Proceed as planned."

Then she swiftly switched the computer interface, her fingers rapidly typing on the keyboard.

Meanwhile, in the VIP lounge on the second floor.

Yi Jue and Yunzhe sat side by side on the sofa, watching the live broadcast in unusual silence and harmony.

On stage, Ji Shu, with her simple makeup and formal attire, had shed her usual flamboyance, appearing professional and radiant. She confidently introduced the day's product and carefully answered reporters' questions without any slip-ups.

Yunzhe's lips unconsciously curved into a smile, his eyes even showing a hint of pride.

Yi Jue glanced at Yunzhe's expression and lightly tapped his fingers.

Ji Shu, this girl, had indeed matured, living up to his careful guidance.

From that moment on, he had one less romantic rival.

At this moment, the screen switched to Yun Mu. Yunzhe noticed Yun Mu's actions and couldn't help but frown as he asked, "Will today's product launch go off without a hitch?"

Yi Jue casually lounged, legs crossed, and remarked, "I believe in Yun Mu."

Yunzhe shot him a quick glance.

...

Meanwhile, on stage, Ji Shu had wrapped up all the formalities. Just as she was poised to kick off the ordering process, the host suddenly stepped forward.

"Ms. Ji, the backend server of Chiyue's official website has been hacked. We’re locked out of the ordering interface."

"What?"

Ji Shu’s face drained of color.

At the same time, an audience member suddenly exclaimed, "Whoa! The official website just crashed! Can you guys still get in?"

"No way? Let me see."

"I can’t get in either. What’s the deal?"

"I got in, but it’s just a black screen. Nothing’s showing up."

"Seriously? This is such a fail. Looks like beauty is only skin deep. Why bother with a career? Just go back to being a kept woman."

"I heard the former head of the Yun family, Yun Mu, is behind this. Seems like Yun Mu is all flash and no substance! With all that wealth, why be so greedy and try to cash in?"

"This is such a letdown! How are we supposed to place orders? A launch event like this—who would trust their product?"

...

The audience buzzed with chatter, and Ji Shu caught every word.

She panicked and glanced over at Yun Mu, but Yun Mu flashed her an OK sign.

Ji Shu took a deep breath. Though she was freaking out inside, she chose to trust Yun Mu and picked up the microphone.

"Everyone, settle down. That little hiccup earlier was just a prank we pulled on you. The real ordering is about to kick off. Now, let’s count it down together."

"Ten, nine, eight, seven... three, two, one!"

At that moment, a sci-fi and stunning car promotional video suddenly appeared on the big screen on stage.

As the video ended, the website on everyone's phones instantly opened.

"I can get in!"

"I’m in, I’m in!"

"The car in the video is the new model, right? It’s so cool, I want to order one!"

Those who had been bashing earlier were now scrambling to place orders.

The number of orders on the big screen skyrocketed!

In just ten minutes, the number of orders for this car had already exceeded a million!

The journalists were all shocked. Is this data even real? Did so many people really make reservations?

But the data on the screen was rock-solid, with no room for exaggeration.

Ji Shu was over the moon seeing the number of orders right there.

If it weren't for the host's reminder, she would have almost forgotten the raffle and freebie segment.

After some intense back-and-forth, the ordering channel was officially closed.

Ji Shu told everyone in the room that all orders would be delivered within two months.

In the final segment, Ji Shu took the microphone and said, "Thank you to all the audience and media friends for attending our product launch today. The success of Chiyue is inseparable from the round-the-clock efforts of our team. I want to thank them all. Of course, I am most grateful to a good friend of mine. When our company was in its early stages and product development hit a wall, it was her joining that helped us overcome the difficulties. Without her, we wouldn’t have this product."

"She’s my friend and a partner at Chiyue—Yun Mu!"

Ji Shu looked towards the other side of the stage, "Come up and say a few words, Yun Mu."

The camera panned to the side of the stage.

A slender, graceful young woman in a white veil sat by a computer, like a summer lotus.
