Chapter 430 – Gu Shishi felt dizzy when she was forced into the car. (1)
“At this rate, we should be able to double our sales revenue next year, right?”
Gu Wushuang stared at the data and revenue and was filled with anticipation.
Huo Wencheng glanced over at her still-not-too-much-of-a-healthy-glow little face.
He decided against telling her what was in his mind and patted her on her head.
“You take good care of yourself. Let the others at the company take care of the rest.”
The reason their sales was off the chart during Double-12 was because many purchased enough skincare products for the rest of the year.
Their sales number for the next three months that followed probably wouldn’t look too good. In fact, it might be the worst for the entire year.
Even though that would apply too all companies, but he had no heart to tell her that, not wanting her to worry.
He never would have expected that in the next two months that followed –
An underdog during the Double-12 had smashed his firm belief.
Huajian’s sales had increased each month and shot up once again immediately before Chinese New Year. It had surpassed Jiahe as the leader in domestic skincare products!
Gu Wushuang was about to have a meltdown.
Huajian’s dramatic rise had surprised many in the industry.
After further analysis, they had learned that there had been signs of the appearance of this underdog.
The story started the week after Double-12.
Huajian’s data from Double-12 wasn’t great but was still an unexpected explosion.
Chen Kexin and Old Mrs. Chen didn’t only buy for themselves; they also bought for all of their female relatives as well as their friends.
As everybody had tried them out in the week that followed, it had become very popular among the upper-class circle and quickly become the most-talked-about skincare products.
Over at the capital, after Gu Shishi’s aunty from the Zhang family had tried the products, she had purchased more for herself. She liked them so much that she couldn’t help but recommended them to her high-class friends in the capital.
Even the youngest daughter of the Zhang family had been raving about them to her girlfriends – the young ladies of the capital — in her ballet team.
These people didn’t care about the Double-12 discount.
They were willing to pay for them after they had been recommended to them. Not being able to locate any storefront, they purchased them from the link that were provided to by them the Zhang’s mother and daughter.
Zhang Sheng, as a 50-something man, had no thoughts whatsoever on the skincare products.
Nevertheless, he was filled with pride. Even though his niece didn’t care about her own mother, she has her uncle in mind and sent him skincare products from miles away.
In fact, she had gifted his wife a painting under the disguise of the Double-12 promotional activity. They had yet to receive the actual painting, but he felt both touched and ashamed.
“How could you be so lucky to just happen to be the person who placed the 6666thorder.”
Zhang Sheng reminded his happy wife definitively.
The mind of a capitalist was very different from that of a normal woman.
They were too overly rational.
He had assumed that the awards for specific number of order was just a ploy to stimulate the consumers and had a lot of behind-the-scene actions going on.
Yes, he mindset of a straight and successful man, on top of his background of growing up in the upper-class circle in the capital, along his little sister who had always just ask him for things and his spoiled daughter… had led him astray!
He never thought that Gu Shishi was simply repaying him for their wedding gifts to her – a gold descendent bucket and a bank card with 2 million yuan in it.
He even thought that their winning a prize was part of her affection for them.
“She still has us in mind even after everything that had happened to her,” said Zhang Sheng to Chen Yunping with mixed emotions.
His old face blushed for real.
He felt even more guilty over his own selfishness of focusing on work during earlier time and never been an uncle to Gu Shishi.
“We can’t let her feel wronged again.”
Zhang Sheng couldn’t help himself anymore.
He felt guilty and wanted to make it up to her.
“As her uncle and aunty, we can’t let her have the short end of the stick and spend her own money on us.”
Initially, Chen Yunping felt that it was sheer luck that she was the person who placed the 6666th order.
With her husband, who had always been a wise one, saying that, she wasn’t so sure anymore.
