Many fans clicked on the link and placed orders for the clothes right after she finished introducing herself.
It was apparent how influential a celebrity could be.
Immediately afterward, Angeline went into the dressing room to change her clothes. Her duty was to preen herself
and showcase the outfits. Meanwhile, the co-host was in charge of describing the clothes’ attributes and showering
the products with all kinds of compliments.
Due to Angeline’s presence, her followers contributed another tens of thousands of orders.
As time passed, while Angeline and the co-host kept up their excellent sales performance, the employees
backstage started showing signs of fatigue.
Hanson gazed intently at his computer when. His assistant, Lilian, poured a glass of water and placed it beside his
hand. Then, she uttered gently, “Mr. Yiurk, why don’t you take a break? I’ll help you keep an eye on things.”
“That’s not needed. I’m not tired,” he refused her offer. Hanson had always been serious and meticulous in dealing
with his work.
“Mr. Yiurk, Ms. Sorelle’s impact on our live-stream sale is phenomenal. It’s been more than five years since
Forrester Group achieved such an impressive sales record. We’re even experiencing a staffing shortage in packing
the parcels inside the storage room.”
He frowned upon hearing that. He had indeed overlooked the manpower issue as he didn’t anticipate Forrester
Group would flourish with Joseline’s support.
At that thought, he hastily ordered her, “Go back to the headquarters now and allocate more workforce here. Also,
arrange some technical staff here. I noticed all the technical staff here are so lazy and inattentive. We’ll suffer a
huge loss if any error happens.”
“Yes, Mr. Yiurk.”
She nodded politely, closed the door behind her, and left.
Hanson pursed his lips and took a sip of the water. Then, he looked up at Angeline, who was inside the broadcast
studio.
With her stature, she merely had to change into three different featured outfits. After that, she sat on the chair and
chatted with the co-host, allowing the other models tried on the rest of the clothes.

Hanson clenched his fists and propped up his chin. The usual tender gaze he regarded Angeline with on normal
days was now replaced by an unfathomable look filled with intense possessiveness.
He admitted that he harbored an ulterior motive when he decided to risk losing his capital by using a large amount
of money to hire Angeline.
“Okay. It’s going to be midnight soon. Everyone can click on the cart below, and the items listed will be sold at the
lowest price…”
Hanson gradually regained his senses as he listened to the co-host’s words. He shifted his gaze onto the total sales
figure on his computer screen.
As the clock struck midnight, the sales amount surged crazily upward and achieved the first million transactions of
the night in no time.
All the discounted items were sold out in a split second.
“Wow!”
The employees, who had yet to get off work, exclaimed joyfully when they witnessed the astounding sales record.
Hanson pursed his lips and stared at Angeline in admiration.
However, at that moment, someone knocked on the door to the backstage room. Then, one of the employees
stumbled into the room in a panic.
“Bad news, Mr. Yiurk. The technical department made an error in price tagging because the computers they are
using are too old.”
Hearing that, Hanson leaped to his feet, looking tense.
“What was the tagged price?”
“The price tag for every clothes was labeled with one less zero…”
“What’s the matter with all of you? Did you all fall asleep during work?” Hanson snapped at them. He panted
heavily as burning rage churned within him.
“I’m sorry.”
Unfortunately, any amount of apologies wouldn’t help turn the situation around.
Immediately afterward, Hanson picked up the communicator beside him and barked at Angeline and the others
inside the broadcast studio to put everything on hold. He had also switched off all the cameras in advance.
“What’s going on?”
Angeline walked over in bafflement.
Hanson gave her a meaningful look and explained the whole incident to her.
She didn’t expect such an accident to happen to the live stream sale that was performing so well. After
contemplating briefly, she asked, “What is the estimated volume for the erroneous transactions?”
The head of the technical department roughly calculated the numbers before replying grimly, “The conservative
estimate is around six hundred thousand.”
Six hundred thousand…
Hearing that large transaction volume, even Angeline, who had always been calm and collected, was taken aback.
Now that so many people had placed the orders, they couldn’t negotiate with each customer to amend the price.
Moreover, any form of explanation would also affect the clothing brand’s reputation.
With the price tag for every clothes being labeled with one less zero, the average selling price would be fifty a
piece.
Hanson’s ashen facial expression clearly indicated they were facing at least a few million in financial loss.
The employees downstairs were swamped while the head of the technical department was anxious to the verge of
breaking down in tears.
“Mr. Yiurk, Ms. Sorelle, what should we do now?”
Angeline flashed an annoyed look and couldn’t help but retort, “What should we do? Why did we hire all of you if all
you do is shrink from responsibilities whenever trouble arises?”
She had been holding back her dissatisfaction for a long time. Since she entered the place, Angeline had found the
employees there incompetent and lacked professionalism.
Following the mistake during the live stream, not only did her commission for the sales go down the drain, but the
error also directly and negatively impacted Forrester Group.
Hanson’s expression turned grim. He slammed his laptop shut and uttered in a sheer cold voice, “According to the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmrules, the company has to bear the employees’ mistakes. We’ll have to sell Forrester Group to make payments.”
The staff at the scene became fearful and unsettled after listening to his statement.
“No!”
Angeline was the first to oppose his suggestion. Her expression was grim, but her eyes shone with determination.
“We cannot sell Forrester Group.”
Hanson gazed at her. Sorrow rose within him as he fathomed her qualms.
“Angeline, this error is not to be taken lightly.”
After all, Forrester Group was not a mere empty shell. They were hoping to make a comeback during that shopping
festival. Unfortunately, not only did they fail to make money, but they even lost their principal.
Yiurk Group would never invest so much money in an insignificant company with an unknown prospect in such a
short period.
“I’ll think of a solution. Give me three days.”
Angeline gritted her teeth. She steeled her resolution and braced herself to accept the responsibility of handling
that mess.
Nancy, standing at one side, was completely dumbfounded. She even had the urge to hit Angeline with the
lunchbox in her hand to clear the latter’s mind.
“Are you crazy?”
She tugged forcefully at the hem of Angeline’s clothes and glared at her. “Don’t forget that you’re just an actress!”
“I know, but I must do this.”
Staring at Nancy’s face, Angeline felt guilty. After all, Nancy had groomed and assisted her in rising to stardom, yet
she wasn’t focused on her career now.
Hanson was also surprised by her reply. He arched a brow and regarded her with uncertainty.
“This is a hot potato. I suggest you think this through.”
“Be patient, Mr. Yiurk. I haven’t finished speaking.”
Angeline gazed at him with all seriousness. Since she could make up her mind to help resolve the problem,
undoubtedly, she had her condition.
