Xia Lan continued as usual until all the free gifts were gone, at which point Minister Yang finally returned.
"Xia, the factory manager has approved the second plan," Minister Yang said, winking at Xia Lan.
Xia Lan nodded, understanding the situation.
"I'm sorry to inform everyone that the free gifts have all been given away," Xia Lan announced, picking up the scroll.
"What? Does that mean we won't get the free gifts?"
"What do we do now? We've already bought it!"
"No way, how could it be gone? Couldn't you have prepared some more?"
"So what do we do now? We can't just let ourselves suffer losses, can we?"
"..."
Just as Minister Yang and Xia Lan had expected, everyone panicked upon hearing that there would be no free gifts.
Some people who haven't bought yet are now deciding not to.
"Please calm down, everyone. To take care of everyone, our leaders have specially applied for a new discount for you. The cheapest item among the things you just bought will be a free gift!" Xia Lan announced loudly.
"Thank you to our leaders."
Xia Lan led the applause.
"Really?"
"That's great!"
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they immediately joined Xia Lan in clapping.
I thought there would be no more free gifts, but unexpectedly, the cheapest item became a free gift.
"Of course, the value of these free gifts is also limited. It's impossible to use one of three items of the same price as a free gift. If that happens, then we will choose one item within the specified limit as the free gift," Xia Lan continued, taking advantage of everyone's attention still being on her.
The person who was scheming froze upon hearing Xia Lan's words and reluctantly put down what he was holding.
Just as Xia Lan had said, that was exactly what they planned.
"Then...then I don't need this..."
"I don't want this one either."
Some people quietly gave up their extra share.
As soon as Xia Lan said that, when it came time to settle the bill, the sales clerks gave the cheapest item as a free gift and didn't charge for it.
Having received a benefit, no matter how good it was, at least they felt they had gotten a good deal and left satisfied.
Minister Yang breathed a sigh of relief as he watched as Xia Lan calmed down the situation that had almost escalated, and everything was under control.
When the event ended, Minister Yang finally felt completely relieved.
The department store's three-day event was a complete success.
As he was leaving get off work, Minister Yang waved his hand and promised to give everyone bonuses once the monthly sales figures came in.
He even called Xia Lan over and asked her with a smile.
"Xia, you're the biggest contributor to this event. What kind of reward do you want?" Minister Yang asked Xia Lan.
“Speak boldly, even if you want to be promoted immediately, that’s fine,” Minister Yang encouraged.
"The success of this event is thanks to Minister Yang and everyone else. I just did what I was supposed to do," Xia Lan said with a smile, waving her hand.
"Xia, aren't you being modest?" Minister Yang chuckled. "Don't worry, everyone gets a share, but you'll definitely get a reward for your idea."
“Leader…” Xia Lan chuckled, about to refuse, when Minister Yang waved his hand dismissively.
"Alright, if you haven't thought it through, then think it over carefully. I'll keep this reward for you; just let me know when you need it." Minister Yang smiled.
"You've been working hard these past few days. Tomorrow is Sunday, so I'll give you two days off to rest well," Minister Yang said to Xia Lan with a smile.
"Thank you, leader." Xia Lan did not refuse Minister Yang's kindness again and agreed.
Minister Yang nodded in satisfaction.
Xia Lan was on her way home from get off work when Qin Yu, who should have been home by then, was still not home.
Xia Lan couldn't help but feel a little worried. Remembering that Qin Yu had said his job was at a movie theater, Xia Lan thought for a moment and decided to go to the movie theater to check it out.
At this moment, Qin Yu's eyes were filled with impatience. It was already past the end of the workday, but he was being prevented from leaving.
Today, as soon as he appeared at the movie theater to clock in for work, many female colleagues wanted to buy tickets to watch the movie.
They said they wanted to watch the movie, but then they blocked the ticket gate and wouldn't go in.
"Comrade... what's your name?"
"Comrade, you're really good-looking..."
"Comrade, my name is Yao Meili, what's your name...?"
Ma Tao and Qin Yu were both standing at the ticket gate, but strangely, there was no one checking tickets in front of Ma Tao.
All the women surrounded Qin Yu, wanting him to check their tickets, but after checking their tickets, they wouldn't go in.
Clearly, their real intentions weren't what they seemed; they were all after Qin Yu.
"Those who have had their tickets checked, please do not block the entrance," Taiyu said with a stern, expressionless face.
"Wow!! His voice is so nice..." The women were swooning over Qin Yu's face.
Qin Yu looked at the women in front of him, a sinister glint in his eyes.
He wanted to reveal himself, but in the end he held back, handed the ticket machine to Ma Tao with a stern face, and was about to return to his office.
He didn't care anymore; he wanted to go home after get off work and hug his wife.
"Hey, buddy, don't go!"
A woman lunged at Qin Yu, about to fall into his arms.
A figure rushed to Qin Yu before her, grabbed him in a hug, and the woman missed her target.
"Hey! What are you doing, lady!" Seeing the man she had her eye on being hugged by another woman, the other women immediately became angry.
"What are you doing! What are you doing!" Xia Lan, like a cat with its fur standing on end, raised her claws at them.
"Why are you all surrounding my husband?" Xia Lan glared at them, grabbing Qin Yu's hand with one arm.
"What? He's your husband?" All the women were instantly shocked and cried out in disbelief.
They couldn't believe that the man they had finally fallen for was already married.
"Of course!" Xia Lan stood in front of Qin Yu with her hands on her hips, trying to widen her eyes to make herself look scary.
"You... gay man, is she really your wife?" someone asked Qin Yu, still not giving up.
"Of course." Qin Yu affectionately ruffled Xia Lan's hair, glanced at the disbelieving women out of the corner of his eye, and then bent down to kiss Xia Lan's cheek.
In an era when even holding hands was considered daring, this was an extremely bold act.
Although Xia Lan blushed, she couldn't back down when asserting her dominance, so she deliberately pointed to her other cheek. "And this side too."
Qin Yu chuckled and obediently bent down to kiss the other side of his cheek.
"See? He's mine! We're already married! If you keep bothering him, I'll sue you for indecent assault!" Xia Lan said fiercely.
"How can you be worthy of him when you're so fierce?" A woman looked Xia Lan up and down and said unwillingly.
"I like it." Before Xia Lan could speak, Qin Yu answered first.
“In my heart you are all ugly monsters, not even as good as a single hair of hers.”
