That day was incredibly busy. I had just finished talking to Chen Jin about the renovation when I found a truck and went to a logistics company called "Jieyunda" in Xiaguan. The wet wipes I had ordered online had arrived. There were 100,000 wipes in total, packed in several 60x60 cardboard boxes.
I had the truck bring all the goods to our company, and then, according to the previous distribution plan, I distributed a certain amount of wet wipes to each deliveryman.
This means that the advertising for "Cangshan Villa" has officially begun in the Dali area...
I'm a little nervous. I don't know if these advertisements will actually bring actual sales to Binjiang Group's project.
I was fighting with myself; I just didn't want to take advantage of Ye Zhi. So, I had to give her back double what I got from her.
...
Midway through, I called Manager Yao from the marketing department of "Cangshan Yishu" again to ask if any customers had followed their property's official WeChat account through the QR code on the tissue... Manager Yao, on the contrary, wasn't as anxious as I was. He said that he would ask the person in charge of data management in his department for specific data after work tomorrow, and he told me to wait a little longer.
Actually, if he really cared about this matter, he could get the result now, since it's not some top-secret data that requires multiple layers of approval.
I'm afraid they'll treat this 200,000 yuan advertising fee as a routine advertising investment; I'm even more afraid it's a favor given at Ye Zhi's behest.
Anyway, right now I'm the only one who's really anxious; it's already 9:30 and I haven't even had a chance to eat a bite of food... I wish I could personally deliver these ads to every corner of Dali so I could monitor their effectiveness in real time.
...
Back at my place, I cooked myself a bowl of noodles... I was preoccupied and a little absent-minded, and in the end, I mistakenly put sugar in the noodles instead of salt.
A perfectly good bowl of noodles was ruined and turned into something awful. I lost all interest in making it again, so I just sat alone in a deck chair, staring blankly at the distant Cangshan Mountain.
That night, everything that happened on Cangshan Mountain is still vivid in my mind...
I regret not seizing that rare opportunity to get something out of Ye Zhi.
I don't like this situation at all. It's like I'm being kept in the dark about everything, and nothing is my concern. Yet, I still really want to do something... I really want to know whether Ye Zhi's accident in Thailand was a natural disaster or a man-made one.
It's probably a man-made disaster, because I can glean some clues from my conversation with Ye Zhi... But if it is a man-made disaster, who exactly wants to harm her? And do I even know this person?
...
After a while of these random thoughts, I heard footsteps approaching from afar, and then Yang Sisi appeared in front of me. She was carrying a bunch of things, the most eye-catching of which was a sword that looked quite impressive.
She asked me, "I'm three..."
Where is my third brother?
"He went to deliver food; he's covering my night shift today."
"They're new here, and you have the nerve to order them around like that?"
I squinted, took a drag of my cigarette, and replied, "We're all in this together, what's there to be embarrassed about?"
"He's such a fragile person, so don't overuse him. You have to use it according to the instructions."
As she spoke, Yang Sisi placed the things she was carrying on the stone table, instantly piling them up... She then picked up the sword and said to me in a serious tone, "I'm a person of my word. This sword is for Zhou San... Tell him to remember to hang it by his bedside, because living with you will ward off evil spirits."
"What kind of demon or monster am I? Why should living with me be considered warding off evil spirits?"
"You're not a demon or monster, it's just that you easily attract demons and monsters..."
I watched Yang Sisi, who was playing with her sword and talking nonsense, speechless... She is an adult, but she has no sense of crisis as an adult. She never seems to think about the next step in her life or how to move forward... In her world, she doesn't need a stable house, she doesn't need to get married, and she doesn't need to spend all her energy raising the next generation.
In all of Dali, she lives the most dreamlike life!
After a moment of silence, I finally spoke to Yang Sisi: "Yes, I'm just too prone to attracting demons and monsters... otherwise, how could I have a friend like you?"
Yang Sisi didn't feel like she was being teased at all. She moved closer to me and asked, "So what kind of monster do you think I am?"
"Vixen."
Yang Sisi nodded, then said to me in a serious tone, "I also think I'm a fox spirit... You know, I really dislike looking in the mirror... Seriously, I always doubt myself in the mirror. How can there be such a beautiful woman in this world?... Could she be a fox fairy in disguise?"
"It's probably because...you didn't see so many men who were completely 'bewitched' the moment they saw you."
Yang Sisi glanced at me but didn't say anything. She sat down on the stone bench opposite me, her mood clearly changed.
She's always so unpredictable.
...
After a long silence, she suddenly asked me in a low voice, "Shouldn't Lu Jia be back by now?"
"Yes, if all goes well, it'll be this week."
"I'll ask you one last time, do you want to come back to Shanghai with me and work at my dad's company?"
I smiled and replied, "Why bring this up again?"
