The night wind was cool, causing the strands of hair on Shen Qiqi's forehead to flutter slightly. She and Lu Qing stood side by side in the village square.
It was quiet all around, with only the occasional barking of dogs in the distance.
The center of the square was empty, like a huge black hole, swallowing up the faint hope in their hearts.
"This, this is too few people..." Shen Qiqi couldn't help but mutter, looking at the empty square, feeling a chill in her heart.
She rubbed her brows, her tone filled with a hint of resentment, "This celebration is clearly the result of everyone's hard work, so why is there no one showing up?"
Lu Qing held her hand tightly and felt the coolness of her palm. "Don't be discouraged, there must be a way." His voice was low and firm, as if he was cheering himself up.
He knew they had to do something and not let this celebration become a one-man show for the two of them.
The two looked at each other, and without saying anything, a spirit of not admitting defeat rose in their hearts.
They decided to pull people over one by one!
The next day, Shen Qiqi went straight to the meeting room of the village committee, ready to have an "in-depth exchange" with her partner Chen.
The atmosphere in the conference room was a little solemn.
Partner Chen sat at the table, his brows furrowed, his face full of disapproval.
"Qiqi, isn't this celebration a bit too extravagant?" Partner Chen said straight to the point, a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone. "Our most important thing right now is to quickly sell next season's produce, not to engage in all this fancy stuff."
Shen Qiqi had expected him to say that. She sat down calmly, looking at him firmly. "Brother Chen, you have a point. However, the celebration is not just to celebrate the harvest, but also to unite people. Think about it, everyone has worked hard all year, shouldn't we have some fun?" She paused, her tone more serious. "Besides, this celebration is also a great opportunity to promote our products. It can increase the popularity of our products, which will definitely benefit next season's sales."
After hearing this, Partner Chen still looked a little hesitant. He crossed his arms over his chest and leaned back slightly. "That's what I said, but..." He dragged out his words, hesitating.
The corners of Shen Qiqi's mouth rose slightly. She knew that if she wanted to convince this partner, she couldn't just rely on her eloquence.
She took out a document from her bag and placed it on the table with a snap. The crisp sound was particularly clear in the quiet conference room.
"Brother Chen, don't worry. I have a more detailed plan here. Would you like to take a look?" She glanced at him from the corner of her eye and saw that Partner Chen picked up the document with a hint of doubt, and the expression on his face froze instantly...
In the document, Shen Qiqi listed the budget and expected revenue of the celebration in detail, and attached a detailed market analysis.
The data was clear and the logic was rigorous, which left Partner Chen stunned.
He originally thought that Shen Qiqi was just acting on a whim and wanted to make some fun, but he didn't expect that she had made such thorough preparations.
As he flipped through the documents, he listened to Shen Qiqi's talk, analyzing every aspect clearly, from the publicity effect of the celebration to the brand promotion of the product, and then to the driving effect on the local economy.
Partner Chen's eyes widened, and the expression on his face gradually changed from suspicion to surprise, and finally he even showed a hint of admiration.
"Qiqi, you..." He put down the document, his tone filled with disbelief, "You are too amazing! I really underestimated you!"
Shen Qiqi smiled slightly, with a confident light flashing in her eyes.
"Brother Chen, our goals are the same, which is to do our business well and make everyone's life better."
Partner Chen nodded heavily, "You're right! I support you!" He stood up excitedly, reached out and held Shen Qiqi's hand tightly, "Qiqi, if you need any help in the future, just ask!"
"It's a deal!" Shen Qiqi also shook hands vigorously, with a bright smile on her face.
The excitement emanating from her was like a dazzling flame, lighting up the entire conference room.
Lu Qing, who was standing outside the door, took in the entire scene.
He looked at his wife's confident and calm appearance, and his heart was filled with pride and honor.
He knew what a wonderful woman his wife was.
After solving the problem of partners, Shen Qiqi started promoting the celebration in the village without stopping.
However, things did not go as smoothly as she imagined.
"Celebration? What does it have to do with me?" Villager Liu stood on the edge of the field with a cold expression, hoe in hand, his tone full of disdain, "I'm not going to join in the fun."
"Uncle Liu, this celebration is to celebrate our harvest! It will be so happy if we all have fun together!" Shen Qiqi persuaded patiently.
"Happy? I'm quite happy working in the fields." Villager Liu snorted coldly, turned around and left, leaving Shen Qiqi standing there alone.
A cold atmosphere spread around, as if a basin of cold water had extinguished Shen Qiqi's enthusiasm.
Looking at the back of Villager Liu walking away, Shen Qiqi fell into deep thought.
She knew that there were many villagers like Liu who were not interested in the celebration.
How can we attract them to participate?
Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind.
Her eyes lit up, and a clever emotion welled up in her.
"Got it!" She clapped her hands excitedly, "A little benefit! Yes, a little benefit!"
In the evening, a group of children were playing under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village.
Suddenly, a clear cry broke the original tranquility...
