Jingle bells, jingle bells.

Cheerful music sounded in the mall, and a large crowd followed the music into the hall of the department store.

Tonight is Christmas Eve, a traditional holiday in the West, and tomorrow is Christmas that is very popular with young people all over the world.

As we all know, every time these two festivals, people's desire to consume will become very strong.

A large number of people who go out of the house to gather with family and friends to celebrate the festival are a large number of consumers. So every time this happens, businesses will seize the opportunity to seize the opportunity.

In order to attract attention, several large department stores in the county have begun to show their capabilities.

In addition to the most basic discount promotions and lottery entertainment, several department stores also set up stages in front of the gates.

Some of these department stores invite celebrities to come to perform, and some invite model teams to come over to the catwalk, in short, to keep competitors down and attract customers to their side.

Ono Trading has also made ample preparations for this Christmas season, not only preparing all kinds of goods, but also starting to distribute DM orders a week in advance, so that residents in the county can know about their specialties and special products.

Feeling that these are not enough, Ohno Commerce and Trade also advertised that in the three days of the 23rd, 24th, and 25th, all customers who spend more than 10,000 yen in their mall can get a chance to draw a lottery.

Feeling that this was not enough to attract attention, Ohno Commerce and Trade also released a rumor, saying that it invited Miss Akiko, the famous host of the county TV station, to be the master of ceremonies for the three-day lottery ceremony, and the guest in charge of the lottery was a mysterious guest.

People who saw the DM list were curious and wanted to know who the mysterious guest in Ohno Commerce was talking about?

But in order to ensure the on-site effect during the event, Ohno Trading is gritting its teeth and refusing to let go.

On the day of the event, the people who were attracted by the gimmick of the mysterious lottery guest found out that the mysterious guest was actually the star cat in their county, Dr. Fujimoto's raccoon cat Daisheng.

Since the last Tokyo Animal Fair, Xu Jie has not had any work for nearly three months.

It's not because its fame has declined and no one is looking for it, on the contrary, since it and Mexico's country name CP have become a hot topic on the Internet again, there are countless companies that want to find it or find them to shoot advertisements and do activities.

For the first month or so, the Fujimoto family was able to receive several invitation calls every day.

But because Xu Jie didn't want to leave Mo's side, let alone make it uncomfortable, no matter what kind of offer the other party gave, Xu Jie refused all of them mercilessly.

In this way, Xu Jie's side was a lot quieter, but this time the invitation of Daye Commerce made Xu Jie a little interested.

A week ago, the person in charge of Ohno Commerce and Trade personally visited the door and invited Xu Jie to be the mysterious guest of their Christmas raffle at a price starting with five characters and seven figures for three days.

Such a price is not too high for Xu Jie's current worth, but what makes Xu Jie satisfied is that the place of work is within the county.

Xu Jie was very happy to be able to earn money without being too far from home, so after Mr. Fujimoto carefully read the terms of the contract for him, Xu Jie happily accepted the job.

On the day of the event, Mr. and Mrs. Fujimoto were not at ease, so they specially drove Xu Jie to the event site, and Mrs. Fujimoto also took the initiative to stay and plan to be Xu Jie's temporary assistant.

The contract signed by Xu Jie at that time was famous, and the lottery of Daye Trading started at 10 o'clock in the morning and ended at 22 o'clock in the evening, with a lottery every hour, and ten lucky customers each time.

And in the first lottery and the last lottery every day, a lucky prize will be drawn each, and Xu Jie will look a little red when he looks at the prizes given away.

According to the provisions of the contract, Xu Jie needs to go on stage as a guest to draw lucky numbers during the lottery.

When it is not a lottery, it needs the most mascot to attract popularity for the merchant platform in the event exhibition area.

This time, Xu Jie had already said hello to Mo before he went out.

Mo doesn't object to this, anyway, as long as the little raccoon flower stays obediently in her own territory.

After everything was ready, the mall began to open its doors according to normal business hours, and Xu Jie, who was invited as a special guest and mascot, also began his day's work.

As a cat that was invited to attract popularity, Xu Jie's job is actually not difficult, he only needs to put on a red base, a white fur-edged cloak rolled outside, bring a Santa hat, and then stand on the stage to sell cuteness to the guests.

This kind of work is too simple for Xu Jie, after all, since the day he became a cat, he has relied on the skill of selling cuteness to mix and eat.

The shopping mall that opened its doors to welcome customers soon became lively, and Miss Akiko, the host who was invited by a lot of money, has been trying to find a way to enliven the atmosphere on and off the stage.

And Xu Jie just needs to stand on the stage and pose to take pictures of the guys in the audience.

Time flies very quickly when I am working, and soon the time for the first draw comes.

As the host, Miss Mingzi stood slimly on the stage, smiled and said to everyone: "Okay, please the guests in the audience have the numbers in their hands, we have invited today's special guests, our lovely cute sage for us to draw today's luck." ”

As he spoke, a staff member came to the stage to open the lottery machine, which had been blocked with a red cloth.

Xu Jie looked at the transparent lottery machine with black lines on his head, while the host, Miss Mingzi, was explaining the lottery machine to everyone.

I saw this young lady face the audience and said with a smile on her face: "Everyone, please see that these are one or six completely transparent and independent lottery boxes, and when the great sage comes to draw the lottery, a number will fall out of the mouth of these six boxes, and these six numbers add up to a winning number." These boxes are completely transparent, and the numbers are also drawn out for us by our cute cats, so open and fair, it all depends on the luck of the knot. Now I have our lottery guest, Mr. Tanuki Daisheng. ”

With the cheers and applause of everyone, Xu Jie, who was expressionless, was picked up by the staff and gently placed in the special lottery equipment.

This lottery instrument is specially made for this lottery event, and it is a large disc of transparent hard plastic.

At this moment, the disc was placed vertically in the posture of a Ferris wheel, and Xu Jie was placed inside the erected disc.

If you can't understand this explanation, then please imagine in your mind that there is often running equipment for little hamsters in the hamster cage, and this special lottery equipment is exactly the same as that thing.

After Xu Jie stood firm in the disc, the host, Miss Mingzi, said loudly: "Please ask our lovely Great Sage, use its blessed claws to bring us luck, please Great Sage run." ”

As a cat, Xu Jie, who was used as a hamster, silently touched a handful of tears for himself in his heart when he heard the words, who came up with such a broken note?

If you complain, since you have taken other people's money, you have to cooperate with the activities of the business, and Xu Jie still has this professionalism.

So while running in the cage, he comforted himself in his heart and said, "This is actually not bad, just run to exercise." ”

As Xu Jie ran, the balls with numbers in the lottery box began to roll, and it didn't take long for all six numbers to roll out.

The host, Miss Akiko, looked at the numbers on the small round ball and raised her hand to show them to everyone in the audience.

While showing what she said, she said: "Okay, now the Great Sage has drawn the first number for us, it is XXXXXX, please come to the stage to receive the prize." ”

As more and more people came up to receive the prizes, soon the lottery places were gathered in the front, and the winners happily took away their prizes, and the first lottery ended.

There was no activity, and most of the crowd gathered here dispersed, and Miss Mingzi took this opportunity to get off the stage to make up and rest, and Xu Jie also jumped off the lottery machine.

Running with a dry mouth, it felt like it needed some water, so it ran towards the basin.

The mall still takes great care of Xu Jie, they not only arrange a special person to be responsible for the reception, but also leave a place for Xu Jie to rest.

Because it was going to be here for more than ten hours, the Fujimoto couple brought a lot of things to it this time.

There are food pots and water basins commonly used by Xu Jie, cat food and canned cat food that he likes to eat, toys that he can't live without every day, and cat litter boxes that are exclusive to his poop

Licking a few times in the basin with his head down, Xu Jie, who was relieved, lay on the mat and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Mrs. Fujimoto on the side saw that the cat was resting, so she got up and went to the bathroom to solve her personal problems.

At this time, Xu Jie, who was bored on his stomach, had already stood up and began to wander around in the stage area demarcated by the mall.

Walking and walking it came to the children's activity area, at this time because it was still morning, there were few parents who came back to play with their children, so the naughty castle here seemed very empty.

Xu Jie walked around inside, and came to the pool of the ocean ball, looking at the pool of the ocean ball that there was no one inside, Xu Jie felt that he wanted to play very much.

Xu Jie, who has always had a childlike heart, was quite interested in children's naughty castles, but when he was still a human, because he was an adult, although this kind of thing looked itchy in his heart, he could only refrain from playing.

I didn't expect to be able to realize my original dream after becoming a cat.

Turning his fluffy little head, Xu Jie looked left and right, and after finding that no one was paying attention to him, he arched his hind legs and jumped into the pool of the ocean ball.

When Mo came over with a meal, he found that there was no shadow of his own civet flower in the rest area left for the cat at the back of the stage.

Seeing this, it threw the food it brought over into Xu Jie's food bowl, raised its head and followed Xu Jie's smell.

At this time, Xu Jie was struggling in the ocean ball pool.

At first, it was actually very happy when it came first, but when it played with Xu Jie, it felt wrong, because its feet couldn't step on the bottom of the pool.

If you step on the bottom of the pool very much, then the cat will be covered by the ocean ball over the top of the head to affect breathing, but if you want to keep breathing, then it can only control its body to float on top of the ocean ball, which is very physically demanding.

So it felt bad and decided not to play it to go up, and then Xu Jie tragically found that without borrowing the strength of its little short legs, it couldn't climb on the shore at all.

After going around the pool several times, Xu Jie, who was beginning to run out, had to start meowing and beg for help.

"Meow meow." Is there anyone there, please come and save the cat.
