"Ding dong—" The bank deposit notification sound rang out. Sunlight poured in from the window, brightening the room. Tang Song looked at his reflection in the mirror, smiling at himself. He felt incredibly handsome. His lips symmetrically curved upward, revealing eight perfectly white teeth. His lip line formed a crescent shape, and his pink gums were slightly visible, adding significantly to his attractiveness.

Next, Tang Song raised his eyebrows and turned his head left and right in front of the mirror. Whether it was an illusion or not, he felt his face had undergone slight changes. His jawline seemed much more defined.

He took a side profile photo and compared it to his previous selfies. Sure enough, although the changes weren't drastic, the effect was clear. The mouth spray was even more powerful than he had imagined!

Tang Song had good facial features with well-proportioned details. After losing weight, he could definitely be considered handsome. However, his face lacked contour, and his jawline was not very clear, which was due to long-term poor posture. Facial muscles are connected to the neck and back, and hunching, or forward neck posture can lead to a sagging face and fat accumulation. The jawline connects the chin and the side of the face, forming a key element of the facial contour. A clear, smooth jawline makes facial lines more three-dimensional, enhancing the overall attractiveness.

Tang Song was currently working on posture correction exercises aimed at improving his jawline. Originally, he planned to complete this transformation within two months, but thanks to the system item, the process was expedited, which was a delightful surprise.

After admiring himself for a while, Tang Song opened the system interface to check his personal information.

His physique, endurance, and agility had all seen slight improvements. Coupled with his newly acquired guitar skills and the use of the mouth spray, his charm score had risen to 39, just one point away from unlocking the next stage of rewards.

In the "Heartthrob Simulator" game, a charm score of 30 was just the starting value for players, so the rewards unlocked at that stage weren't very valuable, akin to leaving the novice village. However, reaching 40 marked him as a mature player, promising much higher rewards and possibly unlocking new system privileges. Tang Song was full of anticipation.

...

At 9 AM, Tang Song parked his car in the B2 level of Yunxi Tower and bought two cups of Luckin Coffee in the lobby before leisurely heading up to the 30th floor. Walking through the open company doors, the first thing he saw was two property cleaners tidying up.

Rounding the reception desk, he spotted Gao Mengting diligently working at her window-side desk, her fingers flying over the keyboard.

"Good morning, Mengting," Tang Song greeted.

Hearing his voice, Gao Mengting quickly looked up, "Good morning, President Tang."

"Fancy a hot mocha?" Tang Song placed the coffee next to her, flashing a handsome smile.

Gao Mengting's expression froze briefly before returning to normal, "Thanks! I won't be polite to a tycoon like you." She took a sip of the coffee, slightly puzzled. How had she never noticed how pleasant his smile was before?

Tang Song moved a chair next to her, asking, "How's the resume screening going?"

Without any ready-made connections in this area, they had to start recruiting from scratch.

Gao Mengting held the coffee close to her chest and softly said, "Since our company is new and we're a startup, very few of the candidates we contacted meet our requirements. I've scheduled a few candidates for human resources and finance positions for interviews the day after tomorrow."

"That's fine. We'll conduct the interviews together and assemble the team as soon as possible."

His role as the CEO of Songmei Fashion came with the [Leader] special effect, which would be very useful in HR decisions, ensuring the recruited employees met their standards. As a newly established company, the initial team members were crucial and had to be meticulously selected.

Gao Mengting nodded lightly and continued, "Our public account will be able to make external transfers today. We need to buy office supplies, or interviewees might think we're a scam."

"Yes, place the orders as we discussed earlier."

"Alright." Gao Mengting turned her laptop toward him, smiling, "Also, the company's logo design is ready. Have a look, President Tang, and see if you're satisfied."

"So soon?" Tang Song leaned forward, his eyes on the screen.

The background was lemon yellow, and the icon was primarily composed of the black initials "SM" for Songmei. The two letters were cleverly curved and combined, with some subtle lines added, making it look like a minimalist drawing of a piece of clothing. The letter elements enhanced brand recognition while also conveying a sense of industry relevance. Overall, it was eye-catching, simple, and distinctive.

Tang Song's eyes lit up, impressed by how much better it was than he had imagined. It was clear that a lot of effort had gone into the design.

"The elegant curves represent the softness of clothing, and the bright colors symbolize our vibrant energy. This logo is also scalable, adaptable to various media and sizes, such as prints, billboards, social media avatars, and even future clothing tags," Gao Mengting explained confidently.

Tang Song sipped his coffee and quietly admired his partner, who now seemed very charismatic.

When she finished, Tang Song said affirmatively, "This is perfect. I'm very satisfied. Contact the decorating company to create the logo wall as soon as possible. Your schoolmate is quite talented; I want to recruit her!"

"She certainly is. She graduates in June and has already signed a contract with a top design firm in Yan City. But when we grow bigger, we can try to poach her."

They discussed the details of the logo wall and then got to work. They purchased 91,000 yuan worth of office equipment through the corporate online banking system, withdrew petty cash, paid 1,500 yuan in design fees, and contacted decorating and legal firms. They also began the process of acquiring the "Tingmei" clothing inventory.

Every expense had to be accounted for in a legitimate business, and without a finance officer, they had to handle it themselves. Fortunately, Gao Mengting had some financial knowledge and had consulted accounting friends over the past few days, making the process relatively smooth.
