Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?

Chapter 245: A Favorable Situation

After the sports meet, the temperature in Linchuan gradually rose, heralding the quiet arrival of summer. Some of the female college students started to wear skirts, their graceful figures enchantingly beautiful.

Jiang Qin would linger at the entrance of the cafeteria after breakfast each day, admiring the perfect legs before starting his day’s activities.

His routine included work, meetings, listening to reports, writing plans, creating strategies, and browsing news. Of course, he also made time for learning.

During this period, Pintuan Dao Dian (Group Store Buying) had already completed two rounds of hunger marketing. This tactic involved strictly controlling the number of coupons and meal vouchers to create a frenzied atmosphere, spurring people to rush for coupons daily.

Moreover, Lu Feiyu had been actively posting on the Zhihu forum, organizing massive user lotteries. Instead of offering mere discounts, he was offering free meals, successfully creating an atmosphere akin to a bustling marketplace.

Winners were announced in the forum, sparking excitement:

– “Group Purchase Treats You to a Big Meal, First Winner: Linchuan University, Finance Department, Gao Wenhui.”

– “Mobile Number: 135*******25”

– “Group Purchase Treats You to a Big Meal, Second Winner: University of Science and Technology, Computer Science Department, Guo Zihang.”

– “Mobile Number: 178*******63”

– “Group Purchase Treats You to a Big Meal, Third Winner: Polytechnic University, Department of Culture and Communication, Yu Shasha.”

– “Mobile Number: 152******48”

The forum was buzzing with comments:

– “Look, someone really won! I want to participate too!”

– “Damn, I’m the luckiest; I’ll definitely win next time.”

– “Guys, I’ve figured out the winning pattern. Watch me win tomorrow!”

Thus, with an overwhelming strategy, coupon grabbing and group purchases for free meals became hot topics among the four major universities.

For this purpose, Jiang Qin had each university’s representative create QQ welfare groups, coordinating with the website for countdowns to coupon releases.

Soon, the university town market became completely shaped by Jiang Qin’s strategy, with businesses flourishing under his direction.

However, grabbing coupons was only the first step in the monetization process. The real completion of monetization was in-store redemption.

This brought a surge of business to many partner merchants. Whenever Jiang Qin directed attention to a merchant, they experienced waves of success and overwhelming business.

Among these merchants, He Yijun’s Wanzhong benefited the most. With the mall’s renovation nearing completion and its grand reopening, it urgently needed traffic. Students with coupons flooded in daily, and even though the profit margins after discounts were slim, the business boom served as an excellent marketing campaign.

Even the sight of ants moving could captivate onlookers; the constant influx of students to the mall drew even more attention.

Within just five days, Wanzhong quickly became popular in the nearby commercial area. As the place was teeming with urban white-collar workers, the comprehensive shopping plaza naturally became a paradise for the young.

The situation was extremely favorable.

On a Wednesday morning, as the sun painted the clouds with hues of orange and red, the dawn broke through, casting a golden glow. Jiang Qin woke up early, did some side crunches and crossover crunches.

“Fuck, Old Jiang, what are you doing? Exercising?”

“It’s nothing, you’re just dreaming. Continue sleeping, deep breaths. Dizziness is normal.”

Jiang Qin closed Old Cao’s eyes with his hand, then changed clothes and left the dormitory with Wei Lanlan and Tan Qing, heading to Wanzhong Mall via Xinghong Avenue.

Despite it not being a peak shopping time or a rest day, there were still people in the mall, which was a good sign.

After half a year, Wanzhong Mall had finally completed its transformation and grandly reopened.

“Good morning, Manager Jiang, Manager Wei, Manager Tan.”

The pretty receptionist at Wanzhong’s first-floor service desk, wearing a professional skirt, greeted them warmly with a smile that revealed her dimples. She was Yue Zhu’s cousin, always cheerful and friendly towards Jiang Qin.

“Jingjing, looking prettier lately?”

“Manager Jiang, you’re such a flatterer.”

Jiang Qin grinned, finding that teasing a young girl occasionally lifted his spirits. However, he had to be careful, especially in front of Su Nai, who would threaten him playfully about his girlfriend’s reaction.

Su Nai, a valuable programmer, made Jiang Qin often swallow his pride as he couldn’t afford to lose her.

Smiling, Jiang Qin, along with Wei Lanlan and Tan Qing, stopped in front of the Xi Tian Milk Tea shop next to a hotpot restaurant on the third floor. The shop, renovated alongside the top-floor offices, was ready for business.

Fang Xiaoxuan, transferred from the Polytechnic University, was in charge of the shop’s operations and training. She was now the brand manager and training instructor for Xi Tian, earning a commission from each shop she handled. Though the percentage was small, the large sales volume made her salary quite substantial.

Recalling the past year, she had been juggling odd jobs, worrying about finances. Now, her circumstances had dramatically improved.

“Boss, you’re here?”

“Yes, how are the preparations?”

“We’re almost ready to open.”

“Did you read the books I recommended?”

She nodded, “I’m reading them, but some parts are difficult to understand.”

Jiang Qin smiled, “No worries. Knowledge often lags behind experience. You’ll understand in time. We plan to expand Xi Tian nationwide, so keep learning to keep up.”

“Okay, boss, I’ll definitely work hard.”

“Good, then you get back to it. We’ll go upstairs and have a look.”

Wei Lanlan, following Jiang Qin, couldn’t help but ask, “Boss, what books did you recommend to Xiaoxuan?”

Jiang Qin pressed the elevator button, “Some basic books on business, public speaking, and management. Nothing famous, just the fundamentals.”

“Can Xiaoxuan understand them?”

“She has to, even if it’s challenging. To not be left behind by the world, learning is essential. Capitalists are best at abandoning people, and while I aspire to be one, I don’t want to give up on anyone. Xiaoxuan is hardworking, and your boss lady likes her. I don’t want her to fall behind.”

Wei Lanlan and Tan Qing exchanged a thoughtful glance and nodded in agreement.

Two minutes later, the trio reached the top floor by elevator and opened the office door. Inside, brand new desks and chairs were all set up, predominantly white, with several unopened large boxes around.

These boxes contained printers, standing air conditioners, water dispensers, computers, and even a home treadmill. Most of the items were sourced from Wanzhong Mall’s warehouse. Although slightly outdated, they were brand new, which was a small advantage.

“This office… feels even better than our 208,” Wei Lanlan remarked enviously.

Jiang Qin glanced at her, “After graduation, you can come directly here and work as an administrative manager. By then, we might have an even bigger office.”

Wei Lanlan’s eyes lit up, “Really? Then I won’t pursue my master’s degree. Boss, you must keep your word. After you graduate, I’ll still be your secretary.”

Her family’s financial situation was not strong, which was why she was a key member of Linchuan University’s part-time society. Her family wasn’t very supportive of her pursuing a master’s degree, hoping instead she could work after graduation to ease the family’s financial burden.

Jiang Qin nodded, “You can work and pursue your master’s at the same time, even have time for a child. The company will reimburse you. But remember, reimbursement aside, you’ll have to sign a contract.”

“Boss, if that’s the case, I might as well sell myself to you,” Wei Lanlan said earnestly.

“Then sell yourself. Better to me than to outsiders. Everyone from 208, as long as they’re willing to sell, I’m buying.”

Tan Qing immediately raised her hand, “Can I join too?”

Jiang Qin nodded without hesitation, “Anyone who participated in the project from the start or is a manager at any campus can. The most important thing in the 21st century is talent, and I love gathering talents.”

“Boss, are you saying we are talents?”

“What else?”

While they were talking, Yue Zhu, who had been notified by the front desk, arrived at the office door, “Manager Jiang, why didn’t you let us know you were coming?”

Jiang Qin grinned, “Wanzhong is almost like my home. I can find my way with my eyes closed. No need for a reception anymore.”

“That’s true…”

“But don’t tell this to Old He; he might curse me again if he hears it.”

Yue Zhu chuckled, then turned serious, “The interviewees are here. Manager Bao asked me to come get you.”

Jiang Qin nodded, “Let Lanlan and Tan Qing come too. They should experience a real interview.”

“Okay, boss.”

The interview began with Bao Wenping and Yue Zhu leading it. Jiang Qin sat silently, observing.

Many experienced interviewees noticed that the silent young man beside the main interviewer seemed crucial. After each interview, the lead interviewer would slide the resume towards him, and only after his nod would the outcome be decided.

Experienced interviewees thought, “This expressionless guy must be important.”

Jiang Qin thought, “I’m expressionless, but definitely handsome.”

From morning till afternoon, eighteen candidates passed the interview, twelve in the marketing planning department and six in the business department.

Honestly, the number was not large, but it was sufficient for Jiang Qin’s needs. He planned to gradually increase the staff as necessary. The most important thing was to initiate the first step of the promotion.
