Chapter 330 Chinese Valentine’s Day

Qixi Festival, a uniquely Chinese romantic day since ancient times, is hyped up by modern people as the Eastern Valentine's Day. However, this day is not so popular this year.

【happy holidays】

Just after midnight, Tian Xin received a message from Lin Zhou. She casually replied: Happy holidays!

Today is the official day for paying the final payment for the Qixi Shopping Festival, and the event will only have 24 hours from the official start to the end.

Everyone, from the website to the villagers in Xiaowan Village, is holding on to this last hurdle.

The village is brightly lit, and every household is sitting in front of their computer, waiting for midnight to pass and start a new round of busy work.

Tian Xin was standing next to the village committee, staring at the sales data in the background with Zhang Ying and Li Xiaoyan.

In the more than one month since everyone started opening online stores, the two have become the leaders of the village. In addition to running their own stores successfully, they have also become team leaders.

Tian Xin divided all the villagers who opened online shops into teams, half of which were managed by Zhang Ying and the other half by Li Xiaoyan.

Under the management of these two people, the villagers quickly got on the right track and did a great job. They also highly recognized their respective captains and even praised them to everyone they met.

The reputation of the two men has risen as the villagers' performance has improved. Now everyone in the surrounding area knows them and they all praise them when they mention them.

"Today is like this. After the event is over, everyone wants to hold a buffet in the village to make it lively. You should bring Lin Zhou along!"

Li Xiaoyan stared at the computer and said to Tian Xin.

"That's right, that's right!" Zhang Ying also echoed.

Before he could finish his words, the wall clock rang three times, and it was midnight.

Several people immediately focused their attention and watched the background data continue to climb.

"This is too fast," Zhang Ying said: "It's night time now, so many people are still awake? It's just past midnight and someone is already paying!"

"Didn't you see that there was a wave of flash sales on the homepage from 0:00 to 6:00? During these hours, the discounts are double the discounts, and it's even cheaper than the pre-sale. How can you miss it?" said Li Xiaoyan.

"Yes, today's 24 hours are divided into four time periods. The earlier the time period, the greater the discount. In order to fight for this, Li Jing and the investors have spent a lot of time talking!" said Tian Xin.

As soon as she finished speaking, the QQ group exploded.

News began to roll in frequently, and everyone was tagging Tian Xin to share the good news.

"Xinxin, my family has started paying the balance! We're shipping the goods now, and I think packing them tomorrow will be exhausting!"

"Oh my, Uncle Zhenmin, you're showing off by saying that!"

"We've also started collecting the final payment. There are a lot of people placing orders right now!"

"Why are they all from Team One?" Li Xiaoyan muttered as she looked at the group message: "Team Two is a bit behind the times!"

"Don't worry! We've only just started, there's still plenty of time!" Zhang Ying said, "Besides, these customers have placed few orders, and pre-sales are booming, so it's normal for them to be popular!"

"Yes, Aunt Li, don't worry!" Tian Xin also comforted Li Xiaoyan: "It's still early, let's wait and see..."

“Swish!”

Just as he was halfway through his words, the computer and lights in the office suddenly turned off, and the room was suddenly plunged into darkness.

"ah--"

Several shop owners, including Zhang Ying and Li Xiaoyan, subconsciously exclaimed.

"What happened? Who turned off the lights?"

Someone nearby quickly responded: "Who turned on the power switch? The computer is also turned off!"

"No one turned it off. Did the circuit breaker trip?"

"Hurry up and check it out," someone said, and then there was the sound of rustling footsteps going out: "Why would the power supply trip at this critical moment?"

"Everyone, be careful!" Tian Xin reminded those going out: "Light the candles first. They're all in the drawers. Walk slowly, don't sprain your ankle!"

After saying that, she groped her way out with the others, ready to check the electrical box first.

As a result, as soon as I walked to the door, the light came on!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, returned to their respective seats, turned on their computers and continued to watch the backstage.

"Luckily, it's only for a short while," Li Xiaoyan said. "If the power went out all day, we'd be screwed. Team 2 has a lot of goods on hold and they're counting on today!"

"It's okay! It might just be a power outage!" Tian Xin said, "Everyone is using computers tonight, so the demand for electricity is high, so a power outage is normal.

But I've already contacted the power company, and they'll be there to protect us, don't worry!"

Maybe Xiaowan Village is an evil place. Just as she finished speaking, the room suddenly became dark again with a "swish" sound!

"What's going on? Why is it closed again?"

This time all the shop owners in the room shouted in unison.

Before Tian Xin could respond, the message in the QQ group on her mobile phone exploded.

"What's going on? Why is the power out of control all of a sudden?"

"Your house is out of power too? My house is out of power too. It was working fine just now, and I was shipping something. What's going on?"

"Did your team also have a power outage?" someone asked.

"What do you mean, the second team also stopped?"

"It seems everything has stopped!"

"What's going on? Everything was fine just now! The house suddenly went dark! I thought the power went out!"

What's going on?

Tian Xin glanced at the group message and quickly replied: "Is everyone's power outage at home? Team one, team two, is anyone still there?"

The group chat was flooded with messages so quickly that this one was quickly pushed to the top, leaving few people with it. Everyone was still focused on the power outage news. Some people started complaining, cursing, and even blaming Tian Xin for not making arrangements in advance.

"Everyone, please be patient. Don't worry. I'll go check on the situation right now. Everyone, please don't panic. As soon as I have any news, I'll notify everyone in the group chat!"

After sending this message, Tian Xin didn't waste any more time and immediately called the power bureau.

But after calling several times, the line was always busy.

"What the hell is going on?"

Several shop owners were pacing anxiously in the yard.

"I'll go out and take a look! Maybe the main switch has tripped!"

Tian Xin briefly explained everything to Zhang Ying and Li Xiaoyan and prepared to go out.

The two men stopped her from going: "It's so dark, you can't go alone, I'll go with you!"

"No need, I know the road well and I'm not afraid of the dark. You two just stay here and continue to call the power company. If anyone asks in the group, you two can handle it. I'll go take a look and be back!"

After saying that, she took her cell phone and walked out.

It was midsummer and the house was very hot, but when I walked out, there was a cool breeze outside.

With the help of the faint moonlight and the flashlight on her mobile phone, she slowly walked towards the electric meter box behind the village committee.

She was very familiar with this road and could find it even with her eyes closed even without lights.

In the past, she often walked at night after getting off work late, so she was used to it and was not afraid of the dark.

But today seems different.

As soon as she went out and turned onto the small road from the village committee, she vaguely felt someone following her.

The man's footsteps were intermittent.

She turned around and saw no one!

But after walking a few steps, I seemed to hear the sound again.

The leaves on both sides of the tree were rustling in the wind, startling the birds on the branches and making strange calls from time to time.

She couldn't help but shiver!

Never mind, let’s go first!

She made up her mind and quickened her pace towards the electric meter box.

The village was now pitch black, with no lights on in any house, but group messages were still flashing on my phone.

She ignored him and walked faster and faster, her back covered in cold sweat. The pores on her body seemed to stand up, and her heart was in turmoil!

What's going on? Why are you so uneasy today?

She casually dialed a number as she walked.

There were two "beep-beep" sounds on the other end of the phone. She looked up and saw that she was less than 20 meters away from the electricity meter box!

"It's okay! We're here!" She breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the footsteps behind her suddenly became clear, as if... they were approaching her. Somehow, she felt that this person was strangely familiar.

"who--"

She turned her head quickly and shouted.

Then, without waiting for the man to respond, her pupils suddenly trembled.

"ah--"

After a scream, the man fainted!
