An hour later.
An ordinary restaurant nearby.
Luo Zheng ordered a table full of dishes and a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor), and the four of them ate and chatted.
At first, however, everyone chatted about trivial everyday matters or interesting news that had nothing to do with them.
When all three men, except Song Lu, were somewhat drunk, Zhao Kang finally spoke up, "Luo Zheng, we'd like to ask you for a favor."
"Just tell me, and I'll do whatever it takes if it's within my power!"
Luo Zheng patted his chest and assured her, "Song Lu and I are classmates. Since you are her boyfriend, you are my friend."
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony!"
Zhao Kang took a deep breath and said seriously, "Our company's products are on the shelves in your store, but no one has bought them. Since you are the manager of this store, I would like to ask you to help promote them, is that alright?"
"Your products?"
Luo Zheng was taken aback at first, then said awkwardly, "We have a lot of goods in our store, so we don't know which type of product you have?"
"Call it Niangui Roasted Green Pepper Sauce."
Zhao Kang said directly, "When we went in to browse just now, we happened to see it on a shelf, but it was covered in dust. It must have been sitting there for a long time without anyone buying it."
"Niangui roasted green pepper sauce?" Luo Zheng was a little confused.
However, after a moment's hesitation, he seemed to remember something and exclaimed, "I remember now! A salesman once came to me trying to sell me this product, saying it sold very well in Nanming County. I wasn't really interested at first, but the man was very sincere, so I reluctantly signed a sales contract with him, but..."
At this point, he gave an awkward smile and added, "This kind of product really doesn't sell very well in our store."
Seemingly afraid of displeasing Wang Qian and the others, he quickly added, "After all, our kind of store only provides goods. Whether or not customers buy is their business. We can't force them to buy, right?"
"understand!"
Before Zhao Kang could speak this time, Wang Qian nodded in deep agreement, "However, as the store manager, you should be able to lend us a hand, right?"
"sure!"
Luo Zheng agreed to Wang Qian's request without hesitation, saying, "Since it's your product, I'll place it in a more prominent position in the future. If there's an opportunity, I'll also do some special promotion for you."
"Thank you in advance!"
Wang Qian sincerely expressed his gratitude: "Whether or not it sells in the end, as long as you can help promote it, I will remember this kindness!"
You're too kind!
Luo Zheng waved his hand, "Anyway, I'm just an employee. It doesn't matter which company's products I promote. You're my friends, so I'm definitely more willing to help you."
At this moment, Zhao Kang added, "We also have another product that is about to enter the market, and at that time..."
"Just call me!"
Before Zhao Kang could finish speaking, Luo Zheng interrupted him, saying, "Our store needs all kinds of products, but I can't guarantee the sales volume."
"Of course!"
Zhao Kang nodded and assured him, "Mr. Luo, don't worry, we won't let you do this for nothing. As long as it sells, you'll definitely get your share of the profits!"
"Well...we'll talk about that later, haha!"
Luo Zheng gave an awkward laugh.
He didn't directly refuse, which is tantamount to him tacitly agreeing to want it.
Even though it's called helping, if there's no benefit in it, people might only help once or twice. If they help for a long time, even the closest relationship will probably get annoyed.
And self-interest is always the best driving force for positivity.
Next, Wang Qian, Zhao Kang, and Luo Zheng continued eating and drinking until everyone was somewhat drunk and the dishes on the table were almost finished, at which point they parted ways.
After leaving the restaurant, Luo Zheng hailed a taxi and left first.
As for Wang Qian and the other two, they also planned to take a taxi back to the hotel.
Their business in Yong'an City is not yet fully settled.
Wu Yanping's concert was successfully held and achieved great success, with record sales even breaking the historical record for her solo albums.
However, because Wu Yanping has been too busy these past few days, the advertising shoot has had to be postponed again and again.
Of course, Wang Qian didn't come away empty-handed these past few days.
First, under the careful arrangement of Wu Yanping and Zhong Yiyi, he also gained some fame and had a good start.
Secondly, he gained a better understanding of Yong'an, a big city, and felt that if his business grew in the future, this would be a good direction for development.
Third, getting to know Luo Zheng, the manager of the large supermarket, provided a starting point for entering the Yong'an market.
"Hey, wait a minute!"
As the group stood by the roadside trying to hail a taxi, a slightly familiar voice came from behind them.
Looking back, Wang Qian, Zhao Kang, and Song Lu all frowned at the same time.
"It's you again?"
Song Lu's pretty face darkened. "What are you doing here?"
Wang Qian was also somewhat surprised.
The person speaking to them was a woman with a stunning figure and beautiful appearance, around twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with two shallow dimples on her cheeks, making her look quite charming.
He recognized the woman; she was Shi Manyu, the saleswoman in the store.
Were you having dinner with our manager just now?
Shi Manyu stepped forward, her gaze somewhat evasive, her expression filled with guilt.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Song Lu narrowed her eyes slightly. "You were following us?"
"I didn't..."
Shi Manyu seemed to want to make a point, but as soon as she spoke, she felt it was unnecessary and simply said, "I came here just to apologize to you."
"Apologize?"
Song Lu was taken aback. She exchanged glances with Wang Qian and Zhao Kang, and asked in surprise, "You followed us just to apologize to us?"
"yes!"
Shi Manyu did not deny it. "I know my attitude just now was a bit harsh. It was my fault. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that. I just hope you can forgive me."
"hehe……"
Song Lu laughed instantly, "You're a really strange person. You've been secretly following us for so long, just to apologize to us?"
"I mean it!"
Shi Manyu took a few more steps forward, secretly glanced at Wang Qian who hadn't spoken yet, and said pitifully, "As a token of my sincerity, I'd like to invite you to a meal."
Before Wang Qian and the others could refuse, she hurriedly said, "This is my heartfelt gift, please don't refuse, okay?"
Song Lu was completely amused. "Little girl, I'm saying your brain..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Qian interrupted him, "Okay, we agree!"
Song Lu and Zhao Kang were both taken aback.
Wang Qian actually agreed?
Why?
Amidst the puzzled looks of the two, Wang Qian smiled and said, "This young lady is so sincere. I would feel bad if I refused her."
