The hotel's rooftop restaurant is also decorated with a Christmas atmosphere, with a small Christmas tree on each table, and a female pianist in a red dress to play music in front of the piano.

Christmas Eve is indeed the peak time for customers, and the restaurant is almost full.

When entering the venue, the waiter asked Ye Tang and each of them to hand out a small card with a number, saying that there would be a Christmas event later.

Ye Tang put her number plate into her trouser pocket casually, she was number 475.

After sitting down in his seat, Tian Wen curiously asked Luo Xingchuan what activity it was.

Luo Xingchuan said with a smile, "It's a Christmas event, and every Christmas Eve the hotel will draw a lucky customer and give him/her a koi card, with which I can stay for free in red leaf hotels around the world for a year in the future." ”

"It's... So good! Tian Wen was surprised, he bought things in the supermarket and never participated in any activities, he thought that adding money to buy in exchange for ballast goods that the supermarket could not sell; Even if it is a gift after buying it, it is the wool that comes from the sheep.

As a math teacher, he was unmoved.

But the events at the Red Leaf Lijing Hotel sound really tempting and shrewd, and it seems that the customers are taking advantage of it, but in fact the hotel is not losing at all. Spend the cost of micro-invisible and advertise yourself.

Luo Xingchuan motioned to the waiter to pour water for Tian Wen and Ye Tang first, and then continued, "This activity is a tradition of Red Leaf Lijing, probably dating back to thirteen years ago, when Red Leaf Lijing was not my family, and it is not like a monopoly now, there are several hotel companies of the same type and positioning, the competition is very fierce, everyone wants to seize the market and squeeze out other companies......

Luo Xingchuan told Tian Wen a small story about the business world, and Tian Wen listened very carefully, which was an area he didn't understand at all.

Ye Tang lowered his head and drank water.

At that time, the daughter of the owner of Red Leaf Lijing came up with this promotion method, and a week before Christmas, launched a campaign to draw koi customers on the Internet, and all customers who spent money at Red Leaf Lijing Hotel on Christmas Eve, whether it was eating, lodging or other leisure and entertainment projects, were eligible to participate in the event. Taking into account the time difference between countries, the activities of each country are carried out independently, which means that each country has a koi customer. ”

Thirteen years ago, Tian Wen was only in his twenties and had just graduated from college, listening to Luo Xingchuan's story, he had a vague impression that the hot search words on the Internet seemed to be some red leaf koi. However, the consumption level of this hotel is not something he can afford, so he will take a look at it.

"In the end, the campaign far exceeded expectations, and that Christmas, the sales of Momiji Lijing reached its peak, and although there was only one winner, everyone expected to be the lucky one."

Tian Wen nodded, "Say... At the end of the day, still... Or is it pro... Take advantage of people's fluke... Luck psychology, with the lottery ... 彩./Ticket 1... A truth, earn... Money-making Yong... Always the banker. ”

"Yes, people just want to gamble on their luck," Luo Xingchuan looked at Tian Wen and smiled slyly, "Teacher Tian, do you also want to win the lottery?" ”

Tian Wen sneered, he was so embarrassed that he was seen through by his students.

This event established the monopoly of Momiji Lijing in the high-end hotel industry, and after a few years, those strong competitors gradually fell behind, and today, it is difficult to see their traces, only Momiji Lijing stands. My dad said that sometimes doing business really depends on chance, and the opportunity for Momiji Lijing was a girl who came up with it, and she was only 14 years old at the time. ”

"It's... It's a less... Young genius," Tian Wen exclaimed.

"Yes, she is very smart, the smartest girl I have ever met," Luo Xingchuan's eyes flashed with a hint of nostalgia, "I adore her very much, she is my idol and my goal." ”

Ye Tang did not participate in their conversation during the whole process, knowing that Luo Xingchuan was talking about herself, she could still be very calm, but when she saw Luo Xingchuan say that she admired herself, the light in her eyes, she lowered her eyes slightly.

She is well aware that she is not a good role model,

She lived up to everyone's expectations,

She didn't expect that until now, her image in Luo Xingchuan's heart was still so perfect.

She couldn't afford his adoration.

……

Although Tian Wen is a stammer, he doesn't hold the teacher's shelf, he understands everything that young people understand, and it is easy to chat with him, there is no generation gap.

After chatting about the lottery, the topic turned to academics - instead of expecting ethereal rewards, it is more reliable to be down-to-earth and take one step at a time.

At the Christmas Eve meal, the three teachers and students had a good meal.

The lottery time for koi customers is at midnight, which is just right for young people, but for high school students, it is too late, and they have classes tomorrow.

So after eating, after Tian Wen settled the bill, the three of them left the hotel.

The commercial house Tian Wen bought was in the Third Ring Road, and he planned to take the subway back, but Luo Xingchuan offered to send him home.

"No, no... No, you... You send Ye Tang, a... A girl, late... Evening no... Insecurity. ”

"Okay, I'll let the driver drive you, and I'll see her off."

This plan made Tian Wen and Ye Tang unable to refuse.

Seeing Teacher Tian get in the car and leave, Ye Tang turned to Luo Xingchuan and said, "My home is very close, you don't have to worry about me." ”

"I've promised the teacher, and you're going to let me break my promise?" Luo Xingchuan smiled, "Or do I seem to be an untrustworthy person?" ”

"I didn't mean that."

"Well, let's go, then."

Ye Tang: "......"

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the snow covers the ground, but it does not affect the people coming and going on the shopping street, and on Christmas Eve, young people come out for a festival that only comes once a year.

Ye Tang walked briskly in front of him, his shoes squirming on the smooth floor tiles mixed with ice ballast,

Luo Xingchuan followed behind her, "The ground is a little slippery, don't go in such a hurry, be careful." ”

As soon as his words fell, Ye Tang's feet suddenly slipped, and he lost his balance in an instant.

Everything happened too fast, and when Ye Tang came back to her senses, she was already sitting on the ground, behind her was Luo Xingchuan's uncontrollable laughter, she turned back in shame, but saw the boy's happy smile, the smiling eyes were shining, and the neon lights around her seemed to be gloomy.

He walked to Ye Tang's side while laughing, and stretched out his hand to her, "Come, get up." ”

Ye Tang ignored the slender fingers that were close at hand, and tried to stand up by himself, Xiao Ye Tang's old winter shoes were too bad in slip resistance, and before she could stand up straight, the whole person was going to fall backwards again.

Luo Xingchuan quickly grabbed her hand and stabilized her, "Be careful not to listen to what you say, and don't appreciate it when you say it's going to help you, but in the end it's still up to me," there was a bright smile in his voice.

After falling twice in a row, Ye Tang was very embarrassed, and said stiffly, "Don't put gold on your face, I didn't know it was going to snow today, I just wore the wrong shoes." ”
