Chapter 1: Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve, seven p.m.

Zhonghai Pedestrian Street, a whole street, crowded with people, black and pressing, are all people who come out to shop.

The large shopping malls are even more crowded, and the cosmetics counters are crowded with consumers participating in the Christmas promotion, most of them young women, with an inexplicable expression of excitement on their faces, as if they are taking it for nothing without spending money.

Makeup, perfumes, all kinds of skin care products, these are all things that can make women scream.

In particular, the "jealousy" perfume endorsed by Qiu Yibai, with its charming and seductive unique atmosphere, romantic and beautiful appearance design, and high-profile and eye-catching publicity methods, immediately broke out of the encirclement and attracted a group of female customers to buy it.

From after dinner to 10 o'clock in the evening, in more than three hours, the transaction volume of major counters has repeatedly reached new highs.

Among them, the most prominent is the newly launched "jealousy" fragrance under the "Sulfur See".

In order to attract customers, the mall not only holds various rebates and lucky draws, but also does not close and is open 24 hours a day.

Diao Ranran's counters personally inspected and walked to more than a dozen shopping malls in three hours.

Because of her appearance, the staff at the counter are like chicken blood, their performance is crazy, and they don't dare to be lazy in the slightest, who wants to leave a bad impression in front of the company's big boss. What's more, Diao Ranran is now not only the owner of a makeup company, but also the general head of Diao's family.

"Miss Diao, it's already past ten o'clock, do you want to go back first?"

Ji Shixue glanced at the time and reminded in a low voice.

They have reached the last counter, and it is also the first counter set up in China Overseas since the establishment of "Sulpour", which is of great significance to the company, and at the same time, this counter is also the largest and the best turnover in the past few years.

Diao Ranran attaches great importance to this place, so he specially stayed at the end and came to inspect it in person.

"There's no rush. Zhan Xingchuan is on a business trip, not at home, I go back by myself, it is better to be here, there are more people. ”

Diao Ranran turned his head and whispered to Ji Shixue.

Recently, the relationship between her and Ji Shixue seems to have a little more warmth than before, and there is less restraint between the boss and subordinates. Diao Ranran is not a difficult person to get along with, not to mention, in the past half a year, she has rarely established friendship with those rich second generations, wealthy women and the like in the shopping mall, and occasionally has afternoon tea with Kong Miaomiao, in fact, she also feels a little lonely in her heart.

In the past, she had to watch out for Ji Shixue, but now, the situation has improved slightly. At the very least, if she doesn't need to be too guarded, she can talk to this little assistant.

"Mr. Zhan is on a business trip, so how are you spending Christmas Eve? It's Christmas soon. ”

Ji Shixue asked with some surprise, she originally thought that Diao Ranran was so calm and didn't let herself go to the restaurant again because Zhan Xingchuan had already arranged it, but she didn't expect that he was not in Zhonghai at all.

"It's just a small festival, nothing. Moreover, I see so many people here, it is very lively, and I will invite everyone to have a supper, eat and then go home to sleep and have a good rest. ”

Diao Ranran looked at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock.

The number of people in the mall did not decrease at all because of the late night, because, at 12 o'clock in the morning, there will be a large lucky draw, and the grand prize is a family car worth 250,000 yuan, and it is not the so-called one-year use right, but a real gift. There are also various prizes such as mobile phones, laptops, high-end skincare products, etc., and the winning rate is very high.

It was a weekend, so customers were reluctant to leave, waiting for the draw to take place for more than an hour.

Anyway, it's not bad for the big festival to be an hour or two, in case you can really win the jackpot, then you can take the subway and drive back by yourself... Therefore, many people don't want to give up such a great opportunity, and they all want to wait for pie to fall from the sky.

Merchants make a lot of money, and they try their best to retain customers.

The same is true for "Sulpour", which provides a series of free services such as coffee, desserts, facial massage, makeup, and overall image design to customers who spend a certain amount of money. The staff at the counter originally prepared a lot of makeup and perfume samples, intending to distribute them as gifts, but unexpectedly, the most sought-after small gifts were actually the signature cards of Lu Qingyu and Qiu Yibai.

Lu Qingyu has started work and is still popular, and Qiu Yibai is the hottest topic queen recently, these two artists are the spokespersons of "Sulfur Search" products, so in the entire makeup area, the counter with the most customers is here, all rushing to ask for their autographs and treasured photos.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have let people buy imported coffee beans, just let the two of them sign a few more cards, and they could save a lot of money." ”

Looking at the flocking fanatical fans, Diao Ranran shook his head helplessly and said with a smile.

Ji Shixue also smiled and said yes, raising her wrist from time to time to look at the time.

"What, you have a boyfriend? ”

Diao Ranran saw that in the past half an hour, Ji Shixue seemed to be absent-minded and looked at her watch frequently.

"How can I have," Ji Shixue blushed and said embarrassedly, "I haven't even seen the shadow of my boyfriend... I was just wondering how much we could get by the time it was twelve. ”

There is an electronic display on the counter with numbers jumping on it, and every sale tonight will be updated in real time, so that both employees and customers can see the increase every minute and hour by hour.

Therefore, the fighting spirit of the employees has also been stimulated, and they all want to accumulate the total sales to more than one million before zero o'clock.

"Of course it's good to be there, I'm happy to treat everyone, if you can't get there, it's nothing, let it be. ”

Diao Ranran shrugged, "jealous" is now so good, she is already more satisfied, not to mention that she is not in a hurry for a day or two, she can make it into a trump card product, a brand star, just like those big foreign brands, once sold for decades, that is the real success.

Ji Shixue also nodded again and again, after all, if you can make up the best, even if you can't make it, today's results are among the top among your peers. There are a million in one counter, a total of more than a dozen counters, tens of millions are easy, only a few hours.

In the coming New Year, there will be another peak, as well as two important festivals such as Valentine's Day and Spring Festival, so there is no need to worry.

The two drank a cup of coffee to refresh themselves, and it was already half past eleven.

The lottery is about to be drawn, and the happy hall on the first floor of the mall is already crowded with customers who want to try their luck, as long as they spend more than 300 yuan today, they can get a chance to draw a lottery. This threshold can be said to be very low, and most of the people present have lottery tickets ranging from several to dozens in their hands, hoping that they can get this good luck.

There is a huge LED display in the hall, which is as high as a three-story building, and it is currently the largest playback equipment in China.

A stage was set up around the display, and from time to time there were singers showing off their voices, or a group of cute children performing dances and the like, and the audience was watching below.

The surroundings were lively and noisy, the music was rumbling, and even the temperature seemed to be rising.

Ji Shixue said to go to the bathroom, and she didn't come back for a long time, Diao Ranran looked left and right, there were people around, and she didn't dare to walk away at will, so she had to continue to wait for her in the seat under the screen. The two of them just left the counter, just sitting here to drink coffee, and the mall specially set aside an area for the heads of some enterprises, just below the stage, VIP seats.

After waiting for a few more minutes, a group of children on the stage finished dancing, and everyone applauded.

The applause stopped, and the big screen suddenly went black.

Some of the people couldn't react, and some people muttered whether the machine was broken.

Immediately afterwards, the lights of the whole audience seemed to gradually dim, as if the movie was about to begin.

There were whispers all around, Diao Ranran was surrounded by strangers, and she was also a little panicked.

Soft music suddenly sounded, and the already dark screen was filled with a pattern of rose petals.

Not only that, but even the air seemed to be wafting with a rich and pure fragrance of roses, which was obviously different from the usual rose aroma, and almost all the women present sniffled unconsciously, carefully distinguishing it.

Diao Ranran was no exception, she smelled it a few times and determined that it was the smell of Josephine rose, which is rare in China and very expensive.

Zhan Xingchuan had given it to her several times before, so she remembered the smell and recognized it at once.

Her heart was beating a little faster, it couldn't be such a coincidence, could it? No, he was still in Italy.

On the screen, the petals disperse and a new image appears......

A large fountain pool, surrounded by statues and palaces, Diao Ranran recognized at a glance, it is the famous trevi fountain in Italy.

They had been there on their honeymoon in Italy. Legend has it that the person who throws one coin will return to Rome again, the person who throws two coins will meet a new love, and the person who throws three coins will at least get married, or at least divorced.

At first, after listening to the locals tell this legend, they found that they could only throw one, and the other two were unlucky. So, two people threw one at a time.

I didn't expect it to work, and sure enough, within a few months, Zhan Xingchuan went to Italy again because of the company's business, and this is not back to Rome again.

Diao Ranran was faintly reminiscing, and a familiar voice came from the big screen.

"Dear Ranran, this is our first Christmas Eve after marriage, I hope you can spend your ...... happily"
