Heihe, known as Aihui in ancient times, is located at the eastern end of the Greater Khingan Mountains. The mountains within the territory are rolling. Humans have been active here as early as the Paleolithic Age.
This place is bounded by the center line of the main waterway of Heilongjiang Province, across the river from Blagoveshchensk, the capital of the Amur region, the third largest city in the Russian Far East.
I won’t say much about the city of Blagoveshchensk. Students who are good at history should remember that this was also Chinese territory before, and the Hailanpao massacre occurred here.
After arriving in Heihe, my first feeling was that it was really cold.
It was already mid-March, spring had begun to bloom in the south, and the glaciers in Harbin were thawing, but it was still ice and snow in Heihe.
It was my first time to come to this place. I first went to the commercial pedestrian street and walked around, thinking about seeing the exotic customs.
But after walking around for two times, I found that although this place is better than Suifenhe, it doesn’t have any pretty girls, it’s basically all uncles and aunties.
The city's atmosphere is pretty good. Admiring the exotic buildings in the snowy scenery and listening to Russian music really makes me feel like I'm abroad.
But it was too cold here, so I walked around for two times and then ran away. I arrived at the destination of this business trip: XX Home Appliances Mall.
I won’t tell you which one it is. I don’t know if this mall is still there, so I won’t advertise it to avoid letting acquaintances see it...
There are quite a lot of our company's products on display here. When I entered the mall, I first found the manager, introduced myself, and then communicated about the promotion activities.
This was probably no problem. After we finished chatting quickly, I ran to the exhibition hall to stay.
Of course I can't just sit around, I still have to sell goods.
But it should be said that my sales ability is a bit out of proportion to my appearance. In Ma Yunfeng's words, it is more or less a stretch.
You can’t blame me for this. Other sales people work hard to practice their sales skills every day and go to the mall to practice when they have nothing to do. But what about me?
When I have nothing to do, I take time off to catch ghosts. I have to exorcise my boss’s evil spirit at work. Even when I go on a business trip, I have to sue others...
Let’s put it this way, I haven’t even read the product brochure. What sales ability do I have?
However, I always adhere to one point of view, that is: no matter how little I know, I still know more than consumers...
For example, this product has seven selling points, but I only remember three, so I will just talk about these three, vigorously, carefully, and repeatedly.
As for the other four, I just passed them by and took a careless look.
In fact, this method applies to all sales staff. Many novice shopping guides are not confident and are always afraid of saying something wrong. In fact, you don’t have to worry at all, because even if you say something wrong, no one will know...
Anyway, I spent a day in the mall, and the salespersons around me were all familiar with them. As for the products, not a single one was sold.
But I'm not anxious at all, because before I came here, our home had not been open for almost a month.
I just wanted to get off work early so that I could quickly go to the hotel to update my novel.
These days, I have been delayed by the novel, and I have been updating it a little bit every day to maintain it. Now the number of words is getting more and more, and it will be on the shelves soon, so I have to get serious.
Because the novel is on the shelves, you can make money.
If I were to become a hit immediately, become extremely popular, surpass the Southern Third Uncle, dominate the world in singing, punch Mu Zimei, kick Guo Jingming...
Then what kind of work should I work, what kind of home appliances should I sell, what kind of things should I watch, what kind of things should I catch?
I wrote it directly for me!
When I got back to the hotel after work that day, I turned on my computer and started to enter the world of the novel.
In the plot of a recent novel, I specially arranged for a nine-tailed fire fox to come in and make it the protagonist's past life, sleeping in the protagonist's body in some way.
Only when the protagonist is in danger or is triggered by something, the nine-tailed fire fox will wake up.
Because I feel that this is very similar to my experience, or even exactly the same.
Maybe I was a nine-tailed fire fox in my previous life?
I have dreamed about foxes, but I have never dreamed about the nine-tailed fire fox, but that doesn’t matter. Since it is a novel, why not make it more awesome?
Well, there is the only nine-tailed fire fox in the world. Thinking about it makes you hot!
To put it simply, I stayed in Heihe for three days, and it was March 15th soon.
Nothing happened in the past three days, which surprised me a little. Lying in bed in the middle of the night, I wondered: Why didn't even a ghost come? What's the difference?
But I am also happy to have peace of mind. Being an ordinary person is actually quite good.
Then it was March 15th. I arrived at the mall early and was doing preparations for the opening. Then I suddenly noticed that the girl who was a shopping guide for another brand next door seemed to be crying.
Today is the annual Consumer Rights Day, and the passenger flow will be much larger than usual. Everyone looks nervous and expectant. Why is she still crying?
According to shopping mall regulations, shopping guides are not allowed to wander around at will, let alone chat. Although no one usually follows this rule, there will still be someone to take care of it during major events.
But it's different for me. I'm a manufacturer employee and don't have to abide by this rule.
So I walked over quietly, intending to express my condolences.
Because of this girl, she has helped me a lot in the past two days, she is very enthusiastic and proactive, and she is not old, she seems to be only nineteen years old, her hair is a little curly, and she has big eyes and double eyelids...
I don't think she's good-looking, but I'm mainly curious because she might be of mixed Russian descent, but I never had the nerve to ask.
Today I saw her sobbing secretly, so I walked over and asked her in a low voice what was wrong. If there was anything I needed help with, I could tell everyone.
As a result, while wiping away tears, she told me that she wanted to take leave this morning, but the manager didn't allow it.
I asked her why she took leave, and she said that her father had an accident yesterday and was pierced by a steel bar. Now he is being treated in the ICU and he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.
I couldn't help but be surprised. Why didn't the manager give you leave when I mentioned such a big deal?
She said that the manager told her that today is the most important day of the promotion. If she leaves, the brand she is responsible for will no longer have anyone. Besides, her father is not dead, he is just being rescued...
I was furious when I heard this. What kind of words are you talking about? My father has been admitted to the ICU for rescue. I don’t even give him a break. Are you kidding me?
I said don't worry, I'll tell the manager that it's not okay for you to work in this state. If he doesn't agree, I'll go to your boss. Even if it's a promotion, it has to be humane, right?
She said, brother, please don't go. The manager is the boss's brother-in-law. They are all from the same family. It's useless. I just insist. Besides, even if I go to the hospital, I can't help much, so I'd better go to work.
She said so, and I couldn't say anything, so I could only let her go.
As a result, she was absent-minded all morning, and several times she had to ask me to go over and help her sell goods.
During lunch, she was also in a trance. She suddenly jumped up with her lunch box and said that she saw her father. He was standing in front of her just now and smiled at her, but he disappeared as soon as he turned around.
Everyone was made nervous by her and said she was just imagining things. However, less than three minutes after she finished speaking, she received a call from her family saying that her father had not been rescued and was gone.
