Chapter 16: Hypnotic Magic
"I don't believe what he said, you drag it first, and I'll rush back as soon as possible. "I heard Ixin's voice outside, and I looked for the sound and walked out.
Yi Xin's tone was very bad, she sat on the sofa, holding the mobile phone in her hand, and said into the phone: "Didn't I tell you a long time ago? ”
She frowned, and said decisively and calmly: "Okay, now it's all up to me, recycle that batch of goods for me immediately, and then contact the manufacturer, and wait for me to rush back." ”
"Alas... Don't feel guilty, let's get through this together, I'm going to get ready now. Yi Xin hung up the phone, looked at me, and sighed helplessly.
"Ishin, what's wrong?" I asked, walking over and sitting next to her.
She put her phone in her pocket, paused, and said dejectedly: "Product problems, customer loss crisis." ”
Hearing this, looking at Yi Xin's sad appearance, I didn't feel good in my heart. Because, I know that the cosmetics store run by Yi Xin, with her efforts in the past few years, the business has been thriving, and even in the industry, it is also a little famous, that store can be said to have poured her heart and soul into it, and now that such a serious thing suddenly appeared in the store, no wonder she is so sad.
"Otherwise, let's go to dinner now, and see if there is a ticket back on the road later, and you try to go back early." "I stood up and pulled Ishin by the way, wanting to take her out of her mind and think of a solution by the way.
"Hmm. ”
Yi Xin and I went downstairs to a restaurant, and at the dinner table, she gave me a detailed explanation of the problems faced by the cosmetics store. Yi Xin said that her store purchased a batch of new products some time ago, but unexpectedly, there was a problem with this batch of products.
"Isn't the quality of the product good?" I asked rhetorically.
Yi Xin sighed and said helplessly: "Yes, that batch of products looks quite high-end, but who knows that not only does it have no effect at all, but also has a lot of allergies." ”
"That ......"
She interrupted me and said, "I don't know what the situation is now, the store just called and said that a lot of customers have come to the store to make trouble, and a lot of customers have been lost." ”
"It's so serious, so you have to deal with it quickly. ”
"yes, so I have to go back first, because the turnover of the store has dropped too much. ”
"Well, I just looked at it, there is a flight back tonight, and after eating in a while, I will take you to the airport. ”
"Good. ”
After eating, I rented a car and took him to the nearest airport, and along the way Ishin was much calmer. She has a natural tenacity in her bones, perhaps due to the influence of her family, she has always lived alone before, meeting the challenges of life, the more difficult it is, the more she refuses to admit defeat.
After Yi Xin left, another week passed, and during this time I improved my work efficiency, and after signing a contract, I ran to the next city, wanting to go back early to help Yi Xin. I heard Yi Xin say on the phone that the batch of unusable goods in the cosmetics store has been disposed of, and now the lost customers are still being recovered, and the situation is only slightly improving, and there are still many problems that have not been solved.
"Mr. Li, let's do this first, we have a happy cooperation. "I've just finished this cooperation agreement and I'm going to pack my things and go back to the hotel.
"Mr. Gu, do you want to go to dinner together in the evening, we are fellow countrymen, we can sit down and chat." ”
"Next time, I still have a lot of work, and I have to go back in a hurry. ”
"Okay, oh yes, Mr. Gu, you can stop by Chinatown when you go back, there is an event there today, you can go and see it, it's not in vain, right?" ”
"Okay, then I'll go shopping when I have the chance, then Mr. Li, goodbye. ”
I walked out of the company building and walked back to the hotel, the street that Mr. Li said was the only way for me to go back, and I was not in a hurry, I walked while watching, appreciating the unique culture of a foreign country.
The square in the center of the street was crowded with people. The shops on both sides open their main entrances to welcome customers from all directions. On both sides of the road there were street performers singing and dancing. There are also people who are dressed strangely, pulling the hands of passers-by, not knowing what they are saying.
"Hey, friend, would you like to try your hand at hypnotic magic?" said a man in a strange white suit who walked up to me and pulled at my clothes in a strange tone.
"Thanks, no need. I shook my head and prepared to leave.
"Don't you really think about it? I can awaken your subconscious memories and remind you of many interesting things. He didn't intend to give up, and hurriedly continued.
"Subconscious?" I stopped and asked him, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course, you won't know if you try it. He said to me proudly, and seeing that I had agreed, he led me to a small shop on the side of the street, where a dazzling magnesium lamp was installed, which shone out of various colors, and added a strange meaning to the man.
"You just sit here for a while, and everything is done according to my instructions, and you are guaranteed to feel the charm of the unreal and the real. He looked at me intently, with sharp teeth, and spoke to me in a very strange tone. It's like a person with many whimsical ideas, ready to turn over the seaside stones one by one and explore the surprises under the stones. Look for crabs and strange shells, or drifting bottles that once wandered in the Atlantic sea.
I sighed helplessly and sat down in the chair in front of him.
"Now you close your eyes, listen to what I have to say, and come up with an answer in your heart. There was a slight smile on his face, as if to say sarcastically.
I closed my eyes as he said, and his voice came to mind.
"Dripping rain, gentle wind, imagine a scene. ”
"In the company's office, um... It was raining heavily outside the window and I worked as usual. I said.
"And then, did anything happen?"
I followed what he said, trying to find the answer in my mind, "A rain-soaked girl came to me with a piece of pasta. ”
"Who is she? What did you say?"
The voice of the street performer in my head became smaller and quieter, and gradually disappeared, but the picture in my mind did not stop, like a gorgeous performance, showing scene by scene.
"I'm sorry, it's raining so hard, I didn't know it. I looked at the girl and said apologetically.
She walked to the desk, put down the food, picked up a pack of tissues from the table, turned her head to look out the window, and said, "Eat quickly, it's raining so hard now, we won't be able to go back for a while." ”
"Thank you. I opened the pasta and devoured it.
"Hahaha!" the girl laughed and poured me a cup of tea.
"Hey, Chen Ye, what do you like about me?" she asked the question as she looked at me and smiled.
