Chapter 743 Thick Fog Comes
On the last day of the twelfth lunar month, the last small peak of business before the Spring Festival, the business district in Shanghai is bustling with activity.
The year-end marketing of group buying has successfully entered the final stage. Except for the staff on duty, everyone else in the group buying industrial park has returned home to celebrate the New Year.
At this time, Jiang Qin was standing in the bathroom of the master bedroom, watching the master install the newly bought washbasin and thanked him.
The wash basin in their house collapsed yesterday.
The indirect reason was that Jiang Ainan spent the night at her aunt's house and did not come back.
As for the direct cause, Jiang Qin said that it was Feng Nanshu who collapsed the body because of sitting on it, and also said that she was a fat girl. The young rich woman looked aggrieved at the time, thinking that it was not her who collapsed the body, but her brother who knocked it down.
But after all is said and done, both of them actually contributed.
"Jiang Qin, the color of this sink doesn't look good."
"It's a little bit out of place, but the wooden countertop won't freeze your butt. I had it custom-made for you."
"?"
Feng Nanshu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the previous times when he was carried up and cried out for coolness, so he hammered him, muttering to himself that his brother was the most addictive.
She particularly likes to be intimate with Jiang Qin, but she just refuses to admit that she is addicted, and Jiang Qin is the same.
At around eight o'clock in the morning, after the sink was repaired, my aunt led Jiang Ainan over from the opposite side.
Yuan Youqin and Jiang Zhenghong's plane has landed. They are celebrating the New Year here this year, so she brought her granddaughter here to wait first.
Ms. Qin bought Jiang Ainan a big, thick and simple gold bracelet as a New Year's gift for the little girl. She put it on her wrist, which made Jiang Ainan sigh with exhaustion.
As a little girl, she doesn’t understand why she has to bear the “financial pressure” that she shouldn’t have to bear at her age.
The little girl was wearing a white down jacket today. After taking it off, she was wearing black overalls. She had short hair and air bangs. She strolled into the living room and turned to Qin Jingqiu and called in a baby voice, "Grandma, hold me."
Qin Jingqiu deliberately moved a little further away, wanting Jiang Ainan to run over and hug her, so as to train her.
However, just after Jiang Ainan ran three steps, she suddenly saw her parents coming down from the second floor with a bag of candies for the New Year in their hands, so she immediately changed direction and left Qin Jingqiu behind.
"Daddy, hold me."
"Imitating your mother again."
Jiang Qin reached out and picked her up, and couldn't help but complain.
Seeing herself being picked up, Jiang Ainan immediately kissed Jiang Qin on the cheek, drooling, and then stared at the candy in Jiang Qin's hand.
Girls of this age actually learn most of their language from their parents. Jiang Ainan didn't know when she saw Feng Nanshu asking him to hold her, so she learned it quickly and well, and she acts like this every time.
Qin Jingqiu, who didn't get the hug, couldn't help but sigh: "Ainan's personality is really like yours. She is so young and knows how to adapt to the situation. She goes wherever there is candy."
"Did you hear that, girl? Grandma said you're a playboy."
Jiang Ainan couldn't understand the idiom. She curled up in Jiang Qin's arms, staring at the candy with a cute look on her face and drooling.
Jiang Qin always felt that she seemed to have two sides. Sometimes she was smart and clever, and sometimes she acted silly like a rich young lady.
As they were talking, the sound of a car engine was heard outside the door, and Yuan Youqin and Jiang Zhenghong arrived at Shanti Villa.
When they saw Jiang Ainan, the old couple instantly changed from walking to jogging, calling their granddaughter while hugging Jiang Ainan in their arms.
"Little girl, do you miss grandma?"
Jiang Ainan nodded stupidly, and suddenly saw that Jiang Zhenghong seemed to be holding a big toy in his hand, so he stretched out his hand: "Grandpa, hold it too."
Jiang Zhenghong quickly picked her up, showing the affection between the two generations to the fullest.
Jiang Qin stood nearby and watched. He couldn't help but take a photo and posted it on his social media account, and also sent a copy to the young master.
"Are you jealous?"
"Do you have Jingyefu?"
"roll."
Jiang Qin sent a polite message, but found a red exclamation mark on WeChat. After a moment of hesitation, he immediately called to curse.
Young Master Cao said that he would add it back after the New Year to prevent someone from committing telecommunications fraud in the name of Jiang Ainan.
However, if Jiang Qin has Jingyefu, you can contact him.
The popularity of the Spring Festival this year has increased by an extra step than in previous years. That is, everyone wants to collect the five blessings before New Year's Eve and wait for the lottery draw on the night of the 30th. Even Sunai and others are doing this, asking in the group all day long whether there is any Jingye blessing.
According to them, when they go back home, everyone is talking about Wu Fu, and not playing it would seem like they are not fitting in.
Jiang Qin sighed and thought to himself, you guys make so much money from group buying every year, why don’t you go back and take a look at your friends who are only making 7,000 or 8,000 yuan, aren’t you the biggest losers?
Jiang Qin put away his phone and saw that his mother had already started busying herself with making dumplings.
People in Shanghai are used to eating egg dumplings during the Chinese New Year, but Yuan Youqin can't get used to it. She always feels like the Chinese New Year is not happening if she doesn't eat dumplings.
While making dumplings, Feng Shihua also came over. The uncle, who had been in class for two years, had no light in his eyes and wanted to curse Jiang Qin when he saw him.
He picked up Jiang Ainan and said, "Little princess, you have to grow up quickly. When you grow up, you have to work for grandpa. Do you understand?"
Jiang Qin poured a cup of tea for his uncle: "It's really hard. You've been arranged to work when you're less than two years old..."
"I am not even fifty years old yet I have been assigned to work. Who can I turn to for justice?"
"Uncle, my Ai Nan is going to inherit the group buying business."
Feng Shihua calculated and said, "Then let's have two more children. One will take over Pintuan, one will take over Xitian, and one will take over Fengshi Real Estate."
Jiang Qin narrowed his eyes: "Then we have to change the name to Jiang's Real Estate."
"Change it, change it quickly, I have no objection at all."
"Uncle, you don't want to go to work so much that you even want to lose the family business."
Time went on till night, the family ate New Year's Eve dinner and watched the Spring Festival Gala, while Jiang Qin held his little angel who was responsible for collecting wages and greeted people from all directions. The villa was filled with laughter.
At this time, Douyin was also very lively. Dong Wenhao planned several New Year theme shooting plans, using traffic support and cash red envelope rewards to guide users to post videos that fit the New Year theme, to cultivate users' habit of chasing hot spots.
The most popular video at the moment is a video of a boy from Shandong wishing his aunt a happy new year.
In the video, the auntie is holding the red envelope and shouting "Take it, take it", but she keeps moving backwards. The boy is shouting "No, no", but he is holding his pocket wide open with one hand and moving forward.
This video is less than fifteen seconds long, but it has become a source of joy for netizens as the Spring Festival Gala becomes increasingly uglier.
Because just these few simple actions really resonated with countless people.
"Wozhi, did you install a camera in my house?"
"I really want a red envelope, but I have to refuse it for the sake of face. I'm really afraid that if the other party gets serious, he won't give it to me!"
"Auntie is really ignorant. Didn't you see that your pockets are open?"
"Auntie is also very nervous. She has used this red envelope for many years. She is afraid that it will be broken today."
This video was online for just five hours and instantly received 10,000 likes, and the number of reposts reached 30,000.
Compared to when TikTok was first launched, this data has increased by more than ten times.
In a residential area in Luojing, a data analyst for a Youku competitor had just finished watching the Spring Festival Gala. The Alipay Five Blessings Collection activity had ended, and they were just waiting for the prize draw, but he didn't even see the shadow of the Diligence Blessing.
The emptiness after a round of carnival made him feel bored, so he swiped twice on his phone's desktop and finally opened TikTok for some unknown reason.
Soon, he also saw the most popular New Year red envelope video and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
But soon, his smile froze on his face, and he quickly sat up from the sofa, looking at the number of likes, comments and reposts next to him, his eyes dazed.
How many days? Half a month.
Wang Bailin recalled the last time he observed the Douyin data and suddenly became alert. The traffic of Douyin seemed to have skyrocketed by dozens of times in the past half month.
He opened the comment section, scrolled through it, and read through each comment one by one, his heart starting to beat fast.
It is easy to distinguish between messages from bots and messages from real people. When Douyin was first launched, there were indeed some bots creating a false impression of popularity.
But at this moment, he realized that the more than 800 comments in this video were all real.
You know, during the entire Spring Festival, almost all the popularity was taken away by Jiwufu. Wang Bailin has never seen Douyin have any promotion channels except Tonight’s Headlines.
He thought for a long time and decided to chat with his colleagues, so he opened WeChat.
However, before he could find his colleague's WeChat, he discovered that his girlfriend had sent him a message, but because he didn't have his phone with him, he forgot to check it.
Damn it, this is not the end!
His girlfriend demands that he reply immediately.
Wang Bailin's scalp was numb and he quickly clicked on his girlfriend's message. He found that his girlfriend had sent him a video. That video was the New Year's greeting video he had just seen on Douyin.
"Look at this, it's so real, it's hilarious!"
Wang Bailin was stunned for a moment and clicked on the video.
He found that the difference between the videos forwarded on WeChat and those on Douyin was that a jumping Douyin watermark was added to the upper left corner of the forwarded video, and the end of the video had one second extra.
The TikTok icon pops up on the page, and a sweet female voice whispers, "TikTok, record your beautiful life."
Before he could react, he found that his friend who was playing games with him also sent him a message.
"Look at this, it's exactly me, it's so funny!"
Then my roommate said: "I declare that TikTok has replaced the Spring Festival Gala. This video made me laugh to death!"
In addition, he also found that in his "loving family", there was a post forwarded by his little cousin, which was from TikTok, a collection of Showa + Heisei Ultraman transformations.
Wang Bailin was stunned for a moment, as if he was trapped in a huge and sticky coldness, and he broke out in a cold sweat in an instant.
He found that some things seemed to happen suddenly. In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on the same thing without any warning, but the coincidence was eerie.
