Today is the opening day of her store. Many of her close friends have told her they want to come and see it, and Cheng Qicai has told them the opening time one by one.
It's still early; they haven't arrived yet.
Not long after she opened the door, the employees she had hired also came to work.
At first, Cheng Qicai didn't dare to recruit too many people, only 3 people, and usually 4 people including her.
After they had done some of the basic work, they placed the flower baskets they had sent at the entrance.
There were so many flower baskets that they could circle the store. Cheng Qicai could only marvel at their incredible resources.
Looking at the names on the flowers, Cheng Qicai was surprised to find that although she didn't know many people in City A, they all seemed to be quite wealthy.
Later, friends started arriving one after another.
The first person to arrive was Gu Liji. After walking in and looking around the room twice, he enthusiastically asked Cheng Qicai for some coins so he could play around first.
Cheng Qicai naturally refused, "Brother Gu, can you play later? I haven't even opened yet! I'll give you a coin then."
"One coin? Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?" Gu Liji looked at Cheng Qicai incredulously.
Cheng Qicai retorted, unconvinced, "I haven't even earned any money yet, giving you one is more than enough."
Seeing the condemning looks, Cheng Qicai said impatiently, "Two is enough, that's my limit."
"You're so stingy!"
Gu Liji was still unhappy, but Cheng Qicai ignored him and turned to do other things.
When the opening time arrived, they set off some fireworks at the entrance, and the store was officially opened.
Cheng Qicai specially commissioned a Pixiu mascot costume designed by them to attract tourists' attention on the street.
We also used the kind of sign-holding promotional method that we had seen on the street before, because our store was originally going for a novel approach.
To create a buzz, she specially hired a group of handsome men and beautiful women to hold up signs, but of course, it wasn't because she wanted to see handsome men and beautiful women herself!
It's just that young people like this kind of thing! She was just catering to their tastes.
If she could… she glanced at Gu Liji, Gu Rongqi, Lu Qi, and Yun Suni around her… her thoughts were secretly stirring within her.
If these handsome men and beautiful women were willing, wouldn't she save this money?
However, she only fantasized about it in her mind and dared not actually ask, because she couldn't afford to pay any of the people here.
In addition to offline promotion, she also promotes online.
They had already started generating buzz online earlier this month.
There is discussion about it online, but no one knows the actual reality.
Cheng Qicai was quite uneasy.
It's only 10 a.m., but there are already a lot of people in the city center. Their location, the flowers lining the entrance, and the banner specially made by Cheng Qicai make it hard not to attract people.
Cheng Qicai didn't expect that so many people would come in to play as soon as the store opened.
A good start gave Cheng Qicai a lot of confidence.
Lu Qi and the others stayed there for a while before heading back.
Cheng Qicai understood, after all, the noise here was quite loud, and there would be many people later, so it wouldn't be good for Yun Su Ni to stay here for too long.
As soon as the store opened, Gu Liji came to her and asked her to give him the two coins she had given him.
Cheng Qicai was speechless. "Didn't you say you didn't want it?"
Gu Liji sneered, "Hmph, someone as stingy as you, why would I not want anything I can squeeze out of you?"
Cheng Qicai took two coins out of the basket and threw them to him.
When Cheng Qicai saw Gu Liji take over, she couldn't help but feel like a local gentry throwing two copper coins to a beggar on the ground in a TV drama.
It's just so cool!
Soon, Guliji ran out of his two copper coins and was left with two pieces of cardboard in his hand.
Cheng Qicai knew at a glance that he had drawn a points card.
She asked deliberately, "Brother Gu, did you win the grand prize?"
Gu Liji angrily threw two cards in front of her, "What kind of broken machine is this? It can't draw anything. Do you even have anything in your machine?"
"Of course there is, Brother Gu. Just because you're unlucky doesn't mean you can slander someone."
Gu Liji crossed his arms and said, "I think it's what I said."
“Really, Gu Rongqi tried it yesterday, and he got it!” After saying that, Cheng Qicai looked at Gu Rongqi next to her.
Gu Rongqi nodded in agreement.
Hearing this, Gu Liji's eyes widened. "What? You said you wouldn't let me play since it wasn't open yet, but you let my brother play yesterday? That's such a double standard!"
Cheng Qicai rolled her eyes at him. "This is different."
"What's the difference? It won't hurt if I play earlier..." Gu Liji rambled on from the side.
Cheng Qicai grew impatient and said directly, "People are different, okay?"
Sure enough, as soon as Cheng Qicai finished speaking, Gu Liji immediately turned off the engine.
Just then, someone came to redeem a gift with their points card, so Cheng Qicai went over to help the customer redeem the gift.
Gu Liji glanced at Gu Rongqi beside him, noticing his brother's faint smile and his unwavering gaze fixed on Cheng Qicai as she worked.
"Tsk...this stench of love." Gu Liji let out a disdainful snort.
His soft snort made Gu Rongqi turn his head to look at him, his eyes carrying a hint of warning.
Gu Liji shrugged. He used to be a handsome guy that everyone loved, so why does it feel like everyone dislikes him now?
He can't afford to offend anyone now, so Gu Liji, feeling dejected, immediately went to Cheng Qicai's shop and bought a bunch of coins.
