Chapter 40 Where are you from?
"What's so strange?" Li Qing'er looked at Su Luo with a look of a country bumpkin.
Su Luo's vocal system suddenly jammed. Should I ask? It would be a stupid thing to ask without getting any result.
"Are you a time traveler?" she asked.
Li Qing'er asked back: "What should I wear?" As she spoke, she lowered her head to check her clothes.
Su Luo was sweating profusely, and he chuckled twice, not sure if it was disappointment or embarrassment. Li Qing'er's tone was quite sympathetic, "It's just become popular in Nanzhili now. At the beginning of the year, Zheng's in Beijing also opened a branch and the effect was quite good."
Su Luo was confused. Did the Chinese already start cutting ribbons in the Ming Dynasty four hundred years ago? Didn't the "cutting ribbon" thing come from foreign countries hundreds of years later? She scratched her head, "Are you saying this thing has existed for a long time?"
"It's been a few years." Li Qing'er answered casually, as if she didn't want to dwell on this issue any further.
Su Luo continued to scratch his head, "Who used this trick first?"
"Qinji Bar, founded when the main store moved to Nanjing."
"You know it very well." Su Luo was a little surprised, "You are very familiar with Qin Ji?"
Li Qing'er glanced at Su Luo and suddenly curled the corners of her mouth, making Su Luo feel that she was laughing at him.
"Who doesn't know Qin Ji? It's the largest business in Zhuxian Town."
Su Luo was still waiting for the next words. After waiting for a long time, there was no movement. He looked up and saw that the girl had gone to the second floor and was visiting the box under the guidance of Yun Lang.
"This idea is quite innovative." Li Qing'er praised after listening to the explanation. Yun Lang raised his head proudly, as if this idea was his.
"But why put a couch in there? I'm not going to sleep there, so I could just use a sofa instead."
Yun Lang touched his chin and nodded, then asked what a sofa was. As soon as he asked, his body was knocked to the side by a strange force. It was Su Luo. She rushed from downstairs to upstairs in no more than three seconds.
"Sha! Fa!" Su Luo pointed his index finger at Li Qing'er, "You said Sha! Fa!"
Li Qing'er looked at her sympathetically. "It's like a few chairs connected together, with thick cushions on top. When you sit on them, they bounce back. They're very comfortable, but they're very expensive."
Su Luo was going crazy. She didn’t know about the ribbon-cutting, but she definitely knew the word “sofa”. It was a transliteration from English, and it was definitely not introduced during the Ming Dynasty.
"Sister, stop teasing me." Su Luo held Li Qing'er's hand, "Where are you from? Did you watch the Olympics? When I came here, the Olympics had just closed..."
Soon after she said this, Li Qing'er clearly told everyone with her watery eyes that "this person is sick". Su Luo saw it and kept scratching her head. Did she misunderstand again? Did the sofa already exist in this era? Who can tell her whether she has arrived in the Ming Dynasty in the 16th century? It's fiction, right?
Su Luo asked the heavens speechlessly, leaning weakly on the edge of the box. God was too cruel. He clearly let her find her comrade-in-arms, and then told her that this comrade-in-arms was a fake and not the genuine one.
She was in a daze for a long time. When she came to her senses, the sun had already set. She remained in a daze. Zhou Chongwen got a stool and sat beside her to accompany her. When she woke up, he reported that Yunlang had gone out drinking with his brothers to celebrate for the new employees. Then he said, "He took your wallet when he left. I saw that you didn't object, so I thought you agreed, so I didn't stop him."
Su Luo reached out his hand to his waist and touched it, and sure enough... he was speechless.
At night, the HAPPY Army came back, looking very happy and cheerful. However, Su Luo was not happy because Yun Lang gave her an empty purse.
Li Qing'er has lived in Su Luo's house since then. Su Luo always felt that she was suspicious and tried to test her again and again. One time, she even sang an English song "ONLYYOU", which was counterattacked by Li Qing'er. She sang the Henan Bangzi opera "Twelve Widows Conquering the West", which seemed to be taught to her by Yun Lang.
Su Luo completely gave up and believed that Li Qing'er had nothing to do with modern society. She also convinced herself that the current Ming Dynasty was much more developed than she had imagined. At the same time, she finally discovered Li Qing'er's strengths. This girl not only had some experience in enjoying life, but was also very sensitive to trends. She was beautiful and had a loud and full voice. She was really the best choice for an image spokesperson.
This proposal was supported by the Happy Corps and vetoed by the second largest shareholder. Especially when Zhou Si heard that Li Qing'er's promotional prints were going to be printed and publicized everywhere, he slammed the table and said he was so disappointed.
In fact, Su Luo was a little hesitant. After all, women were not allowed to show their faces in public these days. Besides, most people were semi-illiterate, so handing out flyers might not be very effective. So she changed her mind and said that the lobby manager would lead the security guards to go to the streets to make announcements, and Li Qing'er would be responsible for supervising the company's image and serve as the company's overall image consultant.
Zhou Si then calmed down, and Su Luo took the opportunity to say, "I have already taken a step back, so don't you also have to make some contribution to the opening of Qiangui?"
The little white rabbit really fell into the trap and asked Su Luo what he should do. The big bad wolf told him that it was very simple, he should go to Kaifeng Mansion to find Master Zhong and ask him to come to support the opening day.
Actually, this was something Su Luo had planned for a long time, and now it has become something that must be implemented. How should I put it? Originally, Su Luo wanted to find the business and political leaders of Zhuxian Town through Qin Ji's second shopkeeper before the opening of the business to build relationships. Unexpectedly, when he went to Qin Ji to find someone two days ago, he was told that the second shopkeeper's father had passed away and he had returned to his hometown to attend the funeral and would not be back for a while.
Su Luo was a little anxious. It was hard to talk without a middleman. She couldn't just go into any shop and say, "My shop will open one day and I hope everyone will come to support it." But she was not too anxious because she had hope for Zhou Si and hoped to bring out her own momentum through the reputation of the city leaders. So she asked Zhou Si to go to Kaifeng Mansion to find Master Zhong.
Zhou Si was a little hesitant, but he couldn't resist Su Luo's urging and went anyway. Seeing Su Luo felt that things were going to be bad. Sure enough, he came back after two days, even more depressed, saying that Master Zhong knew that he had given up literature to do business, and scolded him, and he was scolded and sent back before he had time to say anything.
Su Luo had a headache, pointed at Zhou Chongwen and said, "You are too stupid. You have to tell him the truth. Why don't you just say that your friend opened a shop and wanted to invite him to visit?" Zhou Si thought for a long time , blinked his eyes, and said that lying is wrong.
