I went back to my room, took a pen from my drawer, and then carefully reviewed the results Yang Sisi had achieved today…
My promotional philosophy tends to be conservative, so I only selected two girls who looked very pretty. I believe that if you're packaging the inn as a product, the quality of its promotion must outweigh its frequency and density. Therefore, I plan to only do two promotional campaigns with high-quality content per month. What I value most is not popularity, but reputation. After all, our inn only has about ten rooms, and if the popularity exceeds our final capacity, it won't be a good thing for us.
I placed the final selection results in front of Yang Sisi and said, "These are the two. Go back and contact the owners of these two photography studios. Tell them they can bring clients to our inn for photoshoots anytime."
"What about the other studios? I've already visited more than ten of them."
"Let's cooperate again in a month. Our inn is here, it's not a one-off deal..."
"Oh," Yang Sisi responded, then took the folder from my hand. She stared at the photos of the two girls for a moment, then said to me with utter contempt, "I knew you'd choose the one with the bigger breasts. Can you please stop being so vulgar... Look at this girl, besides her big breasts, her eyes are practically squinted into slits. Is she even presentable?"
"Why don't you focus your attention on their legs? It's precisely because you lack something that you care so much about it; to put it bluntly, it's jealousy."
"Pshaw, I'd be jealous of them. Back when I was competing for the tourism ambassador title, they were probably still searching for places to get breast augmentation surgery!"
As I lit a cigarette, I feigned surprise and said, "Oh, I didn't know you participated in the tourism ambassador selection. What place did you get?"
Yang Sisi answered confidently, "I was aiming for first place, but my parents stopped me halfway through. They said that for a girl of my status, doing such sycophantic things to please the masses would be a disgrace to them. Don't you think they're annoying?"
"Luckily, we robbed you halfway, otherwise you would have been subjected to unspoken rules."
How can your mind be so dark?
I smiled without saying a word...
Feeling bored, Yang Sisi changed the subject and asked me, "Will our inn be able to reopen in November? If not, all the effort we put into promoting it will have been for nothing!"
I quickly reassured the team, replying, "You can't stop trying just because the chances are slim. We're a well-trained team, so we must always strive for the best."
"Then tell me, why is the hope so slim? We have all the necessary documents, and Sister Bai Lu has already gone to work on the sewage treatment equipment."
"Spots are limited and the competition is too fierce... The government prefers those influential seaside hotels and guesthouses that can enhance Dali's tourism image."
"Then let's cater to their preferences and do something to improve Dali's tourism image."
I looked at Yang Sisi, who was frowning in thought, and then my own thoughts were sparked. Her idea seemed very feasible. If our guesthouse could leverage a certain event to create a buzz online that would boost Dali's tourism image and ultimately attract public attention, wouldn't that greatly align with the government's strategy? Even if the competition was extremely fierce, we would still have a bargaining chip to win big with a small investment…
I finally spoke up and said, "Your suggestion has a bit of a 'flattering' quality to it."
"Would you film it for the sake of the inn?"
"I want to flatter... but I don't know what to do to do it well."
"Take your time to think about it. Anyway, there's still plenty of time until November."
I nodded, falling into deep thought again, yet feeling I was making things difficult for myself. Firstly, I wasn't good at flattery at all; secondly, flattering the "government" was risky, and if it wasn't done precisely, it could backfire.
...
The night grew even deeper, and Yang Sisi and I just sat there, while the other guests staying at the inn showed no sign of leaving. I checked the time; it was already one in the morning, and I felt a little worried about Taozi.
I said to Yang Sisi, "We'll discuss the matter of flattery in more detail later. You should go to sleep; it's getting late."
"How can you be so clueless? I've done such a great service, and you don't even think about rewarding me properly? Don't you know that employee motivation needs to be stimulated with material things?"
"If I had a hundred million right now, I'd bury you in money and kill you..."
Yang Sisi leaned closer and replied, "Hurry up and kill me, even with coins will do."
I pushed her away: "Stop messing around, go to sleep... I'll treat you to a meal tomorrow and give you a good thrashing."
It seemed that Yang Sisi thought I was a very untrustworthy person, so she didn't believe me even for something as small as inviting me to dinner. She put her phone on recording mode and insisted that I tell her the time, place, and people I was invited to dinner, making it sound like I was writing an essay.
Although I was impatient, I was also able to find enjoyment in being with her. So, when I thought about how she would leave Dali to study abroad a year from now, I felt a little sad... She was right, we should be the closest people in this guesthouse, because it was us who traveled all the way from Shanghai to Dali.
