Chapter 110

The atmosphere in the small conference room of the Home Appliance Chain Business Group was as suffocating as the sea before a storm. President Qian Dahai sat at the head of the table, his signature smile still plastered on his face, though his eyes betrayed a flicker of vigilance and irritation. Flanking him were the group’s Vice President of Operations, the Vice President of Marketing, the IT Director, and the managers of the three flagship stores selected for the pilot program. They sat stiffly, their expressions ranging from curiosity and disdain to palpable tension. On the other side of the table, Li Banjia sat with Chen Mo, Zhang Chen, Zhou Min, and two specialists from the Digital Transformation Office acting as scribes. Li’s expression was calm, as if this were a mundane business meeting rather than a potential powder keg of a seminar.
