Chapter 365: Another Christmas Eve

On the eve of Christmas Eve, the fluttering heavy snow began early in the morning and never ceased, quickly covering all of Linchuan and dressing the streets and buildings in a cloak of white, turning everything pure white.

The Christmas event at Wanzhong Mall had already begun with a towering Christmas tree set up in the spacious square, adorned with colorful balls and bells.

Beneath the falling snow, the square buzzed with people coming and going, and a large number of staff dressed as Santa Clauses stood outside, handing out various discount coupons to passersby.

“How’s the situation with the chamber of commerce?”

“We’ve opened 107 stores across four major cities: 17 in Wuhan, 15 in Xi’an, including forty percent as transfer stores, which has saved us quite some time. Here’s the summary list.”

In the first floor resting area of Wanzhong Mall, Tan Qing handed a spreadsheet to Jiang Qin.

As Alipay hadn’t yet obtained the financial license and Zhihu’s street promotion had ended, the entire team was on standby.

Jiang Qin didn’t want to idle, so he continued pushing the brand’s marketing plans and the layout of physical stores, creating a brand cycle based on Linchuan Business Gang over six months of effort.

The second round of strategic promotion was now halfway done with double-digit brands benefiting.

“How’s the progress with Zhen Guo Xian and Hai Bai Hui collaborating on a fresh supermarket?”

“We’ve initially reached a cooperative intention, but there are still some details to finalize.”

Listening to this back and forth, Gao Wenhui couldn’t resist nudging Feng Nanshu, “Look at your Jiang Qin, supposedly out to have fun and yet ends up talking about work. Maybe you should lock him up in the husband storage.”

Cao Guangyu, arm in arm with Ding Xue, also couldn’t help but nod, “Right, Old Jiang, since we are out to have fun, let’s not talk about work.”

“Alright, let’s not talk about work then. Let’s just enjoy ourselves. We, the people’s entrepreneurs, never disguise meetings as team-building.”

Jiang Qin stood up from the sofa, “Let’s get moving, pick whatever you like, don’t be frugal!”

As he finished speaking, the entire staff of Room 208, Feng Nanshu’s entire dormitory, including Cao Guangyu and Ding Xue, Ren Ziqiang and Wang Linlin, along with Zhou Chao who was bouncing alone, all dispersed for a cheerful spree around Wanzhong Mall.

Meanwhile, Feng Nanshu dragged Jiang Qin to a clothing store on the second floor to buy underwear.

Although it was a major Christmas sales promotion, the mall featured more New Year elements, being close to year-end, serving as a warm-up.

The year 2010 was the Year of the Tiger, hence the mall was filled with little tigers: tiger pendants, tiger clothes, tiger gifts—even the girls’ underwear had little tigers on them.

Feng Nanshu, her eyes sparkling, picked several tiger-themed underwear from the shelf and placed them in the basket.

“You’re buying more with the little tigers?”

Feng Nanshu: “?”

Jiang Qin coughed, “No, nothing.”

Ji…
