Increase in visitors
A few days later, Zhao Wenxuan asked Zhu Qing to come out for a photo shoot again.
This time he chose a wetland park with a quiet environment and few people.
During the break in filming, the two sat on a bench by the lake and chatted.
Zhao Wenxuan took out the prepared snacks and warm water and handed them to Zhu Qing.
In a soothing tone, he talked about some relaxing topics, such as his travel experiences and his insights into art.
His voice seemed to have some soothing power.
Zhu Qing leaned back in his chair, listened to his story, ate some snacks, and looked at the shimmering lake in front of him. He felt his body and mind relax, and his consciousness became a little hazy.
Zhao Wenxuan observed her condition and knew that the time was almost right.
He has received professional training in psychological induction and hypnosis. Although he cannot make people completely lose consciousness like in the movies, he is able to obtain some information through suggestion and guidance when the other party is in a state of relaxed vigilance.
In a softer tone, he brought the topic back to the ingredients: "...Actually, I've been searching for an ingredient that can bring out true 'vitality'. Like you said last time, it may look ordinary, but it's incredibly refreshing to eat..."
His voice was low and steady, carrying a strong hint of meaning.
Zhu Qing's eyes were a little blurry, as if she was lost in some memories. She murmured unconsciously: "Hmm... Last weekend, the dishes my mother brought back... were just like that..."
"Oh? The food your mother brought back?" Zhao Wenxuan's voice was filled with curiosity and encouragement. "What kind of food is it? Can you tell me about it? I'm really interested in this kind of living ingredient."
"It's green...very tender...and smells especially good..." Zhu Qing's voice was very soft, like a dream. "Mom said...it's a newly cultivated organic vegetable...and it has to be kept secret..."
"Organic vegetables?" Zhao Wenxuan's heartbeat quickened slightly. He asked cautiously, "Do you know where I can buy them?"
"I don't know... Mom doesn't let me ask..." Zhu Qing frowned slightly, seeming to be resisting.
Zhao Wenxuan immediately stopped asking questions and said in a more soothing tone, "It's okay. It doesn't matter if you don't know. That dish must be delicious, right? How does it make you feel?"
"Hmm...it's delicious...I feel comfortable after eating it...and refreshed..." Zhu Qing's voice became lower and lower, and his consciousness seemed to gradually return.
Zhao Wenxuan knew when to call it a day and patted her shoulder gently: "Okay, it's time to rest. Let's go over there and take a look. The reed marshes there should be very photogenic."
Zhu Qing shook his head, feeling a little sleepy just now, but without thinking too much, he stood up with a smile and said, "Okay, let's go!"
Zhao Wenxuan followed behind her with a smile on his face.
Xiao Zhao's recent days have been a bit magical.
Since taking over the "Delicious Vegetable Store", he has changed from a driver to a "store manager" who holds multiple positions. He is also in charge of a team of elite soldiers specially transferred by Director Qiao.
That morning, Xiao Zhao was checking a new batch of order data on his computer screen. The processing speed had increased significantly, but he couldn't help but feel that something was amiss in the backend. It wasn't the number of orders, but... the number of visitors.
"Huh?" He stared at the curve of visitors that was almost climbing vertically and rubbed his eyes.
That’s right, since last night, the number of real-time visitors to the store has increased dozens of times and is still growing.
When you click on the traffic source analysis, a striking label pops up - "Taobei Official Recommendation".
Xiao Zhao's heart skipped a beat.
Taobei is the largest e-commerce platform in China. Its recommendation mechanism is usually based on intelligent push based on multi-dimensional data such as sales volume, praise rate, and user behavior.
Obviously, the amazing unit price of the "delicious vegetable shop", the 100% favorable review rate and the extremely high willingness to repurchase have triggered a certain threshold of the platform, and it has been judged as a "potential hit" or a "featured high-quality store", and has been directly pushed to the homepage or the recommended position of related categories.
This is not just word-of-mouth within Qin Yali's small circle, it is directly exposed to the eyes of users across the entire Internet!
Sure enough, in the store’s message area and Taobei’s forum, there are more and more discussions about “delicious vegetable shops”.
In the afternoon, it was ranked 30th on the hot search list.
"Holy crap! Shockingly expensive vegetables! 600 yuan a pound? This is a rip-off!"
"Am I delusional or is the seller crazy? Is this cabbage made of gold or can eating it make me immortal?"
"'Delicious Vegetable Shop'? The name is quite honest, but the prices are outrageous. I'll just leave."
"Don't be sour on the front, I bought it and it works! The taste and effect are definitely worth the price! I'm not a shill!"
"+1 to the above. I bought this for my mom. After taking it for two days, her constipation that she had for years was cured. She is also much more energetic. I have repurchased this several times."
"Haha, you're a shill, right? Why didn't the country invite you to supply such a delicious dish?"
"IQ tax reaches new heights! Appraisal complete!"
"Does anyone know the details of this store? It seems to be quite complicated."
"Don't mention it, the shop owner's hired online army is quite dedicated. As for the price... I'll just take a look."
All kinds of comments poured in, including questions, ridicule, curiosity, amazement, and personal experiences from a few buyers, instantly pushing the online store to the forefront.
Xiao Zhao looked at the comments, sweat breaking out on his forehead. Miss Zhong probably didn't care about any of this, but Director Qiao's exposure... this level of publicity was far beyond the realm of "low-key."
He didn't dare to delay and immediately grabbed the internal communicator and called Qiao Jianmin.
"Director Qiao, something...something happened!" Xiao Zhao's voice was urgent.
"Tell me slowly, what's going on?" Qiao Jianmin's voice remained steady.
Xiao Zhao quickly reported briefly on Taobei's recommendations, the surge in traffic, and online public opinion.
There was silence on the other end of the communicator for a few seconds. Qiao Jianmin listened and felt the dull pain in his temples begin to return.
He had anticipated all kinds of situations that he might need to deal with, but he hadn't considered "Taobei's recommendation mechanism."
It turns out that if you don’t shop online, you still don’t understand much. In the future, you should learn from young people and go online more often. After all, Miss Zhong is also a young person.
This Miss Zhong always gives him a "surprise" when he thinks things have gone out of his way enough.
"I understand." Qiao Jianmin's voice was emotionless. "The platform's recommendation is a normal market behavior. We can't intervene, nor do we need to intervene."
"But Director, the attention is a bit too high now. Many comments are questioning the price, and some people are even starting to speculate about the background of the store..." Xiao Zhao was a little worried.
"The high level of attention is to be expected, after all, the price is there."
Qiao Jianmin paused. "As for the background, let them guess. We are a legitimate business. We are just a legally registered online store."
