I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 13 Charm Index

"Career is the foundation of a man's life."

It was late at night, Wei Lin was lying on the bed, a book on his chest, his mind full of thoughts.

The title of the book is very interesting, it is called "The Awakening of Males".

It shows that a man's SMV (sexual market value) is composed of social achievements, appearance and health, and personality.

Among them, social achievements account for 50%, appearance and health, and personality and character each account for 25%.

How attractive and charming a man is to the opposite sex depends on the total score.

Physical health includes height, looks, clothing style, and figure; personality includes emotional intelligence, sense of humor, and communication skills; and social achievements include wealth and position level.

Wealth, which is the sum of the latter two, plays a vital role.

"Appearance and height are innate, and it's hard to make up for them later. But fashion sense and figure can be improved. My height, appearance, and fashion sense are all good, and my figure... I'm just a little thinner, and I lack a bit of energy. But I've recently started working out."

"As for personality, I'm already good at it, and I've been delving into this area recently."

"wealth……"

Wei Lin stared at the ceiling in deep thought, wondering how to improve himself comprehensively.

Compared with the general public, he is already considered wealthy, owning a small company that brings in a stable income of two to three million yuan every year.

But he is still far from being truly rich and powerful.

Xinlin Hat Industry is a manufacturing company, mainly engaged in OEM. The quantity of an order ranges from several thousand to tens of thousands, but the profit is only a little over ten percentage points.

The total value of his orders each year is only about 30 to 40 million yuan. If the company wants to achieve a huge breakthrough and bring him higher social achievements, it is extremely dependent on large orders.

But it was very difficult to obtain large orders. He worked hard in the past few years and finally accumulated some.

In the past one or two years, no matter how hard he tried to market, the orders he received were limited, so he gradually became discouraged and began to indulge in alcohol and sex.

"What about creating your own brand? It's too difficult."

Wei Lin sighed.

The cost price of the hats produced by his factory is only a few dollars, but once the brand logo is affixed and put on the market, the price tag can often be several times higher.

Hats from major foreign brands are sold in major shopping malls and supermarkets around the world, and the price tag can be more than ten times higher.

This is the effect of a strong brand.

The reason why our country has become the world's factory is mainly because its products are of high quality and low price.

Big-name manufacturers rely on their own brands and can earn several times or even ten times more profit for each order through OEM through his factory.

And he only made a pitiful 10% profit from each order.

"Qifeng Hat Industry's annual orders exceed 10 small targets. It can also do OEM business, but on a much larger scale."

“To build a brand, to truly establish it and make it a household name, is almost as difficult as climbing to the sky.”

He had considered this issue a long time ago, but after investigation and research, he finally gave up. Given the scale and output value of his company, he simply did not have the qualifications and ability to create a brand on his own.

Building a brand from nothing requires extensive advertising, the cooperation of many celebrities, and the right time, place, and people.

Indispensable.

His company's annual profit is not enough for him to hire a popular star, and the advertising fees and traffic of major platforms are also terrifying figures, which he cannot afford at all.

"Brands are currently in a difficult situation, so large orders are more reliable. However, the most difficult issue at the moment is my own health."

"Only by living and living well can we have a future."

Wei Lin closed his eyes and looked at the hazy green star in his mind, which was emitting a faint starlight full of vitality. He felt that he should still have a future.

……

When Wei Lin woke up in the morning, his entire back felt sore.

"Yesterday's back training paid off!"

Wei Lin closed his eyes again and checked the progress chart, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Love value: 19/50.

Another 7 points were added overnight, 5 of which came from Lin Nanxi and the other 2 were contributed by his ex-wife Liu Qi.

"Yagizaki..."

Locking the progress bar, Wei Lin's mind popped up the scene of Liu Qi having a long conversation with her ex-mother-in-law last night. It seemed that her mother-in-law was either encouraging her to remarry or arranging a new marriage partner for her.

An increase of 2 points in love value means that his ex-wife still has feelings for him, otherwise it would not be like this.

"Hey."

With a soft sigh, Wei Lin got up, washed up, and casually contacted An Xin to get the car keys.

In the morning, Xinlin Hat Industry.

"Linzi, there haven't been many orders recently, and the factory isn't very busy." An Yuntian detailed the factory's situation in Wei Lin's office, and finally said, "It would be great if there were new orders."

"Uncle An, it's hard to find new orders." Wei Lin smiled bitterly.

"I know. Please put in more effort." An Yuntian understood and said helplessly, "I'm good at production and housekeeping, but expanding business is not my strong point. I still have to rely on you."

"I'll pay more attention to it next time." Wei Lin nodded.

The uncle and nephew chatted for a while, and then An Yuntian changed the subject, frowning and saying, "Xiao Xin came back yesterday and said he wanted to work out with you. He even asked me for 20,000 yuan to buy a private trainer. Is this true?"

Wei Lin was stunned for a moment, thinking that what An Xin said about playing hard to get, it turned out to be that he was short of money.

"If he really wants to hire a private trainer, I support him. I'm just worried that he'll get cheated and spend his money on an unreliable girl." An Yuntian looked worried.
"It's true that I bought a personal trainer, but I bought it from a beautiful female trainer." Wei Lin explained the situation.

"As long as you don't just give the money directly to them!"

An Yuntian felt relieved and before leaving, he instructed, "Linzi, keep an eye on him for me. This kid obeys you, and your words are more effective than mine."

"If he really listened to me, he would have had a girlfriend a long time ago." Wei Lin secretly complained.

In the afternoon, while taking a nap, Wei Lin checked the love value progress sheet and found that the love value had changed again, from 19 to 21. The additional 2 points still came from Lin Nanxi.

……

Hanlin Advertising Company.

Lin Nanxi was busy until the afternoon. When she heard her cell phone ringing, she hurriedly opened it to check.

"Six thirty in the evening, Green Bamboo Japanese Restaurant, V8 private room."

Seeing the specific location and time, Lin Nanxi felt relieved from the fatigue of the day. She tapped the screen with her fingers and responded, "Okay."

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the office door.

Lin Nanxi put down her phone, her pretty face returning to its usual cool expression as she said calmly, "Come in."

"It's the weekend today, let's eat together after get off work?"

Chen Hao, dressed in a custom-made suit, stood upright at the door, as if forgetting Lin Nanxi's cold words last night. He smiled and said, "Hot pot, Japanese food, Cantonese food, I'm all good."

"Thank you, I have an appointment." Lin Nanxi frowned and refused.

"What about tomorrow? The day after tomorrow is also fine?" Chen Hao asked again.

Lin Nanxi took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, and then said seriously, "I don't have the habit of communicating privately with my colleagues."

Hearing this, Chen Hao stared at her deeply for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

……

4:20 pm.

Wei Lin went home specially to pick up An Xin. As soon as he arrived at the gym door, he saw He Jingxuan and Yu Xiaorou already waiting there.

"Boss Wei! Boss An!"

Before He Jingxuan could say anything, Yu Xiaorou greeted her with a sweet smile and assured her, "Don't worry, Mr. Wei. As long as you leave Mr. An to me, I will definitely make him lose weight!"

"Go away." Wei Lin pushed the shy An Xin and said to the young woman, "An Xin is yours. No matter what method you use, I want to see the results."

"Hahaha!"

A hearty laugh suddenly rang out, and the bald man from yesterday also parked his car and walked over, saying, "Xiao Rou, Mr. Wei's brother doesn't look well. Don't train him too hard."

When the eldest brother said the word "fuck", he deliberately amplified his voice, and several members who were smoking at the door smiled knowingly.

"Bah! Not serious!"

Yu Xiaorou, who was good at taking jokes, cursed with a smile, then pulled the infatuated An Xin into the gym first.

"Brother Wei, you are the real awesome one."

When the bald elder brother passed by Wei Lin, he patted him on the shoulder in a friendly manner and said with deep emotion: "Young people are really formidable!"

Wei Lin smiled and said, "Although I don't know what you are talking about, Mr. Jin, thank you for the compliment."

"If your coach isn't around and you have any questions about training, you can ask me if you don't understand." The older brother was quite polite today, not at all pretentious. He pulled out his phone and said enthusiastically, "Come on, let's add each other on WeChat."

"Okay!"
