Chapter 591: Report Cards Are Coming Out!
Beijing. The Li Family!
While the Yanjing TV Factory event was in full swing, Li Yi was nowhere to be seen at the venue, nor had he gone to the factory in the northern suburbs.
At that moment, he was strolling through the Summer Palace with his son Yunjin, Jiang Xue, and his older sister.
His older sister and her young son, Rui Rui, had been in Beijing for over half a month, but since both Li Yi and Jiang Xue were extremely busy, and his older sister was unfamiliar with the city, she didn’t dare go out alone.
So, for the past few weeks, his older sister and her son had stayed at the Li family home without going out.
With the National Day holiday underway and Jiang Xue not having to go to school, Li Yi decided to take them out for a stroll.
On one hand, he wanted to take his older sister out for some fresh air; on the other, Li Yi also wanted to use this opportunity to spend more time with his wife and son.
After all, it was already October, and according to his plans, he would be heading back to Hong Kong at the end of the month.
As for the TV factory, Li Yi had entrusted Sun Feng with full authority to handle it.
It wasn’t that Li Yi didn’t care about the situation there; rather, he felt he had done everything he could, and the rest was up to the market—whether he was there or not didn’t really matter.
More importantly, in Li Yi’s heart, family mattered more than making money.
In his previous life, he had spent half his life working tirelessly; even though he was worth billions, in the end, he was nothing more than a lonely soul.
Therefore, money had never been what he pursued—at least not in this life.
The autumn air was crisp and clear, with not a cloud in the sky!
Early autumn in the capital is arguably the best season of the year—the temperature is neither too cold nor too hot, making it exceptionally pleasant.
Perhaps because they rarely went out, or perhaps because the gentle breeze and beautiful scenery appealed to the children, the three little ones were exceptionally excited from the moment they stepped out.
Especially Ruirui in their eldest sister’s arms and Yunrui in Jiang Xue’s—these two boys were incredibly lively. All along the way, they babbled away in an “alien language” no one could understand, occasionally letting out loud shouts that drew curious glances from passersby.
Perhaps they didn’t like feeling confined, as they would occasionally squirm in their mothers’ arms, kicking their little legs now and then, looking eager to get moving—they were absolutely adorable.
As for the little Yunjin in Li Yi’s arms, though usually quite quiet, she was also very lively at this moment.
The little girl snuggled into Li Yi’s arms, her little head darting left and right as she curiously observed the surrounding flowers, trees, and pavilions. Her two big, beautiful eyes were so adorable that passersby couldn’t help but take a second look.
“Sis, what do you think of this place?”
“It’s really beautiful!”
Li Mei exclaimed in admiration. Faced with the beauty of the Summer Palace, she—lacking much education—couldn’t find the words to express the awe she felt.
“Heh, this used to be an imperial garden. Just a few decades ago, ordinary folks like us weren’t even allowed in here!” Li Yi remarked.
Just then, Jiang Xue suddenly asked, “By the way, is it really okay for you to drop everything at work to come out with us like this?”
“Why not?”
“I heard from Third Brother that things aren’t going too well at the TV factory…”
Before Jiang Xue could finish, Li Yi laughed and said, “Don’t listen to his nonsense. You know what he’s like—he makes a big deal out of everything, no matter how trivial!”
“But the factory…”
“I’ve already sorted out the problems at the factory!”
“Really? I heard that factory owes millions in debt!” Jiang Xue said.
“It’s really been resolved. Besides, for a large factory with two thousand employees and assets worth tens of millions, a mere few million in debt is just a drop in the bucket!” Li Yi said.
“That’s not how you do the math. I’m an accounting major in college now—you can’t fool me!” Jiang Xue said proudly.
At that moment, the older sister chimed in, “Xiao Yi, work comes first. You mustn’t let spending time with us interfere with your work!”
“Don’t worry, Big Sister. It won’t get in the way. I’ve already taken care of everything at work. You two just relax and enjoy yourselves!” Li Yi said.
Jiang Xue understood Li Yi’s personality; she knew that once he’d made up his mind, he rarely changed it, so she didn’t want to dwell on the matter any further.
“We’ve been wandering around here for two or three hours now. Shouldn’t we head back?” Jiang Xue asked.
“Go back where?”
“Home, of course!”
Li Yi smiled and said, “We’ve finally managed to get out for a change—why go back so early? Let’s walk around a bit more!”
“We need to get back early to cook. Otherwise, where are all these people going to eat?”
“Let’s just eat out for lunch!”
“Alright, then…”
……….
While Li Yi was out sightseeing in the city with his wife and children, the promotional event at the flagship store in Xizhimen reached its first peak.
At 11:30 a.m., a young teacher from Beijing University drew a 1,000-yuan winning ticket, instantly setting the place ablaze!
This female teacher’s luck was truly enviable—she won three prizes from just four tickets. In addition to the 1,000-yuan prize, she also won a prize and a prize.
In other words, she spent just yuan and, in addition to winning a TV, cashed in yuan in prize money.
The onlookers were absolutely thrilled by the scene—after all, that’s over a thousand yuan, enough to sustain an average worker for three years without spending a penny on food or drink.
While it wasn’t exactly getting rich overnight, it was certainly enough to make anyone envious.
Spurred by the big win, the onlookers who had been holding back began to participate one after another.
Although most had never experienced such a novel event before, they sensed intuitively that in activities like this, the odds of winning were generally higher in the early days, while the chances of winning dropped significantly later on.
If not now, then when?
As a result, the store quickly saw another surge in sales.
The results were astonishing: in less than a morning, the first batch of televisions delivered to the store was snapped up by frenzied customers.
Fortunately, Sun Feng had anticipated this scenario. The large truck delivering the televisions was parked just outside Xizhimen. As soon as the store’s stock sold out, the truck drove directly to the storefront to unload the goods on the spot.
As a result, by noon, over 2,000 televisions had been sold in Beijing alone—nearly matching the sales volume of the previous month.
As the hottest TV brand of the moment, Yanjing TV Factory had been in the spotlight for the past week and had attracted significant media attention.
Their high-profile promotional event naturally drew the media’s attention.
From the very start of today’s event, a large number of reporters arrived on-site to cover the story, and even Beijing Television urgently dispatched a camera crew to film the event.
And this wasn’t just happening in Beijing—the same scene was unfolding in Tianjin, Qingdao, Tangshan, and other cities as well!
While the TV factory’s sales campaign was sweeping through major cities across northern China, the scene at Feixue Apparel was quite different.
After two days of intense promotion, their event was nearing its conclusion.
At 6:00 p.m., as the company’s direct-sales stores across the country closed for the day, the campaign officially came to a close.
Subsequently, following headquarters’ instructions, the direct-sales stores across the country began compiling sales figures for the seven-day event.
After all that hard work over the past few days, the results were finally about to be revealed…
