“Eh? Is it my birthday?” Zhou Xueyin looked at the three people in surprise.
“Isn’t it tomorrow? Just a day ahead.” Li Jiniang watched her with a grin.
“Wow! Thank you all so much!” Zhou Xueyin’s nose tingled with emotion, “Speaking of which, let’s also celebrate Shanbao’s birthday today. I was really busy last month and didn’t have time for her. Sorry…”
Zhou Xueyin pulled Yao Shanshan over and hugged her.
“How about this! We’ll eat cake together today, and after I get the advertising fee tomorrow, we’ll go to Sister Yu’s Japanese restaurant for a big meal, how does that sound?” Zhou Xueyin excitedly suggested.
Compared to the various dissatisfaction during the creation of advertising flash animations, Luo Jing had happily taken Zhou Xueyin to the bank after approving the final product and quickly transferred 80,000 yuan into her account.
She also mentioned that if there were similar activity needs in the future, they would prioritize her company for production.
“However, little sister, big sister has a suggestion. It’d be better if you registered an advertising company; running advertisement business as a web media company might cause trouble,” Luo Jing advised Zhou Xueyin while seeing her off to the station.
“Alright! Thanks for the reminder, Sister Luo.” Zhou Xueyin also felt that an online media company undertaking advertising production might lead to certain disputes.
Although she wasn’t entirely sure what disputes could arise, she still thought that registering an advertising media company might be more prudent.
Upon returning home, Zhou Xueyin shared her thoughts with the three people.
They all agreed with Zhou Xueyin’s opinion, so after brainstorming, they combined a character from each of their names to form: Xueshan Jiyin Advertising Media Co., Ltd.
When they went to register, all four were present, and they directly became the legal representatives of the new advertising company, unlike 51buy, where Zhou Xueyin was the sole legal rep.
In just three and a half months, their account saw an increase of 80,000 yuan.
This was twice as fast as Zhou Xueyin had expected to break even in six months!
In consideration of conveniently presenting advertising proposals in the future, Zhou Xueyin felt it was necessary to buy a laptop.
That way, she wouldn’t need to print every proposal into a booklet every time, not only reducing paper wastage but also providing a more direct view of the demonstration effects, so why not?
“KK, I’ve been thinking about getting a laptop…” recalling that her desktop was configured together with Kang Siyin, Zhou Xueyin still inquired if she had any connections.
“Why bother with that thing?” Kang Siyin looked puzzled at Zhou Xueyin.
Zhou Xueyin shared her thoughts with her, and Kang Siyin thought for a moment: “I don’t have any connections, why don’t you ask Xiaojing?”
“Right! He is, after all, our company’s special consultant, he should be more familiar with store matters than you are!” If Kang Siyin hadn’t mentioned it, Zhou Xueyin would have nearly forgotten about his existence amidst the busyness.
If she were to buy it, she better do it soon, because if another advertisement order came in, she could be busy for a while again.
Speaking of advertisement orders, Zhou Xueyin suddenly remembered that business cards also needed urgent production.
So, she immediately had Yao Shanshan design a business card style for the four of them.
Zhou Xueyin and Wei Jingzhu agreed to buy laptops on Thursday, they arranged to meet at the entrance of Hailong that day.
But after Zhou Xueyin arrived, she saw Wei Jingzhu had sent a message about a massive traffic jam on Fourth Ring. It looked like she’d have to wander around Hailong’s first floor by herself for a while…
Before she could even enter the electronics market gate, a swarm of people wearing down jackets on the outside and blue shirts on the inside, speaking with a Northeast accent, came up to her: “Beauty, looking to buy a laptop? Come with me.”
“Our counter just got a lot of new laptops, many of which are suitable for women. Why not come over and take a look?”
“Beauty, beauty, take this flyer, you can get twenty percent off…”
“Beauty, looking to buy a computer or a phone? Let me recommend one to you?”
Zhou Xueyin was constantly stopped by a group of people as she walked, and although she kept saying “Thank you, I don’t need anything, I’m waiting for someone…”
there were still salespeople swarming around her like flies, which was extremely repulsive.
Considering whether entering the market would stop them from following her, Zhou Xueyin quickly pushed aside the thick curtain and entered the market.
To her surprise, the “flies” outside did not follow her in, but the “flies” inside swarmed towards her, their pitches exactly the same as those outside.
“I don’t need anything, I don’t have any money, just looking around!” Zhou Xueyin finally raised her voice to make her point clear.
“Tsk, why come to a sales venue without money? This place isn’t for strolling…” Seeing no profit to be made, the group turned away without a second glance, looking for their next target.
Zhou Xueyin observed for a while; their targets always seemed to be people who were at the market alone.
As if it were a rule, they rarely approached those who came in groups.
She aimlessly wandered on the first floor, fending off one wave after another of salespeople trying to strike up a conversation.
Every time Zhou Xueyin wanted to look at the items in a showcase, a salesperson from a different store would come up quietly and tell her that the store was expensive and that his goods were cheaper but upstairs…
Then the salesperson from the store would also return the snide remarks as if it were a common occurrence.
Anyway, for those who were not knowledgeable, it was hard to tell who really was just a shill…
Seeing that it was about time, Zhou Xueyin was preparing to walk out to meet Wei Jingzhu.
Just then, she heard someone shouting, “You bunch of scammers, give me back my money! Or else I’ll kill you all!”
A commotion ensued immediately. freewebnøvel.com
Zhou Xueyin hadn’t come to her senses when a person stumbled past her, accidentally bumping into her. She lost her footing, and her body started to tilt backwards…
“Bastard! Where are you running to?” In that instant, the man with the knife also charged forward.
Just as she was about to fall, she suddenly didn’t know who caught her, and the two of them spun around, stabilizing on their feet.
Zhou Xueyin only felt a large hand protecting her head.
At the same time, she heard the sound of metal hitting the ground with a clatter, followed by several people in police uniforms from the crowd pinning the man with the knife to the ground.
“Are you alright?” Wasn’t this voice Wei Jingzhu’s?
“I’m fine… Thank you…” Zhou Xueyin reflexively pushed Wei Jingzhu away, her face flushing.
“Glad to hear that!” Whether it was because of the cool weather or something else, Wei Jingzhu’s cheeks were also red.
The two of them looked at each other, neither knowing what to say next.
“You finally made it! I was about to be driven insane by these people!” Zhou Xueyin hurriedly changed the topic.
“Hey, the Fourth Ring had a chain collision again!” Wei Jingzhu also spoke casually, “I didn’t see you at the entrance, so I came in directly. I didn’t expect there would be trouble in the hall too…”
“It was so dangerous just now…” Recalling the critical moment earlier, Zhou Xueyin’s heart thumped violently.
“I tripped that guy, or else he wouldn’t have fallen. Now that he’s pinned down, we should be safe for a while,” Wei Jingzhu spoke with evident experience.
“How come you seem so knowledgeable about this?” Zhou Xueyin looked at him skeptically.
“Let me take you to Bro Ji first; I will explain everything to you there clearly!” Wei Jingzhu took Zhou Xueyin up the escalator.
