Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn? - Chapter 241: International Group Booking Day?

TL: Etude

In the afternoon, the sunlight was gentle and not harsh, and the announcer on the podium was solemnly reading submissions from various departments and faculties, her sweet voice spreading across the field.

Girls were not fond of this pinched voice, even slightly disdainful, but boys felt a tingling sensation upon hearing it.

Even an older student took the opportunity to send a love letter, signed “From someone who has always secretly loved you.” Accompanied by sweet little noises, a sour and pretentious artistic air wafted everywhere.

Ren Ziqiang had just returned from the field, placing fifth in the preliminaries and not achieving much, but he was enthusiastically gathering the boys in his class, asking if anyone wanted to check out the women’s group.

He said that when he was halfway through his run, he found the scene on their side absolutely overwhelming.

On the track and in the sandpit, the female university students were energetically bounding about, almost bursting with life.

He joked that if it weren’t for being dazzled when he ran there, he would have easily secured a top-three finish in that race.

“Damn, it’s hard for a hero to surpass the beauty!”

Hearing Ren Ziqiang’s words, the boys in the audience immediately stood up and eagerly followed him.

Actually, Ren wanted to invite Jiang Qin as well, thinking himself a bit shy and unable to boldly watch. But it would be different with Brother Jiang; Jiang had thicker skin.

With Jiang leading, he wouldn’t feel shy.

But after pondering for a while, he shook his head, thinking better of it. Brother Jiang had mentioned that Feng Nanshu was trained in authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

“Damn it, Ren is getting more and more oblivious, keeping the good stuff to himself.”

Jiang Qin grumbled, about to join the others for the shared joy, but as he stood up, he saw Feng Nanshu staring at him with clear eyes. Then, pursing her lips, she turned her mini fan towards him.

“What’s up?”

“You’re sweating. Let me cool you off,” said Feng Nanshu seriously.

Jiang Qin coughed and sat back down properly, peeling two pistachios and placing them in her mouth.

“Jiang Qin, I want more,” Feng Nanshu opened her mouth.

“I’ll peel three more for you, then can I go over there for a while?”

“No.”

“…”

Hearing this, Gao Wenhui couldn’t help but lean over, “Jiang Qin, I want some too. Peel three for me, will you?”

Jiang Qin glanced at her, “Do you have abs? Just shamelessly asking for some?”

“Heh, just said you didn’t want to look, but it turns out you’re always thinking about it. Asking right away, how naughty.”

Just then, a commotion arose from the nearest inner circle of the field. It turned out that the men’s sprint competition had determined its final champion.

The guy with the crew cut once again lifted the hem of his short sleeve, revealing his shiny abs, even giving them a flex, causing Jiang Qin to grit his teeth in annoyance.

“Damn, such a show-off. I hate this kind of pretense.”

“You know you have abs, keep it to yourself. Why flaunt it? I’m rich, but I don’t run up to the podium and broadcast it with a megaphone.”

“Let’s go, I don’t want to watch anymore. Such posturing, really unappealing.”

Jiang Qin handed the fan to Gao Wenhui and left the field with the little rich lady, heading to the Entrepreneurship Center.

Thanks to the sports meet, the first day of the group-buying event at the store was extremely popular. The 40% off king-size rooms at the Vienna Hotel were all sold out, marked as fully booked by the system.

He asked Su Nai to pull up the backend data and saw that not only male students bought coupons, but also female university students, with a ratio of about 8:2.

These 20% of users were like goddess-level girlfriends, offering both their wallets and bodies, moving one to tears.

Such pure love, it seems, can only be seen in student days.

Apart from Vienna’s king-size rooms, the hotpot set meals at Wanzhong Mall were also sold out. This wasn’t unusual.

Since it was the weekend, it was common for university students to dine out. Since they had to eat anyway, no one would miss out on a 40% discount.

Thus, the coupons for Qinghuajiao Grilled Fish, Meiyektv, Fruitwood Charcoal Steakhouse, and Dadi Cinema were also nearly sold out.

Perhaps out of university students’ modesty, only half of the trial coupons and half-price ear-cleaning coupons for Shui Yue Mi Yu · Junhan Bathhouse were sold, then the consumption list stopped moving.

Jiang Qin knew that those who bought the coupons first were bold students, and those who didn’t buy weren’t uninterested, just sneakily observing.

Once the first batch of students return from their experiences, leaving positive reviews for certain technicians and expressing their intention to return, the rest of the trial coupons will sell out, leaving none behind.

So, rounding up, on the first day of going live, all the store coupons were sold out.

Is this considered a success?

Selling out completely like this should be considered very successful, right?

Of course, the weekend, sports meet, and 40% discount, such buffs stacked together, it’s hard not to sell out, much like future live streamers’ “linking products.” As long as the customer base is large enough, anything sells quickly.

But the most important thing is the university students’ trust in group buying.

Spending money on a coupon without fear of being scammed shows that the reputation of group buying is very strong, and the habit of online consumption is well established.

“Alright, it’s sold out, no need to keep an eye on it anymore. Su Nai, go have fun.”

“Okay, boss. I’m off to the field to check out the abs. Miaomiao has been calling me several times, saying I’ve missed a lot of good sights!”

Su Nai spoke as she shut down her computer, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she dashed out the door.

Jiang Qin frowned, wondering to himself if having abs really had such a big impact on a man’s appeal.

Why do all girls love abs?

He turned to look at Feng Nanshu and saw the little rich lady quietly playing with a dog, her round and full buttocks puckered up.

Jiang Qin casually glanced over a dozen times, then coughed and sat back in his chair, experiencing the group booking service himself.

After a user places an order online, the system generates a discount code, and the phone typically receives a text message within five minutes.

Then, the store completes the transaction by verifying the code in the backend.

However, Jiang Qin was currently troubled by a problem regarding the settlement model.

The major banks had just upgraded their online banking systems. To control potential financial risks from third-party payment tools, they still required users to operate with a U-shield, causing a delay in transaction functionality.

Moreover, the prevalence of smartphones was not high, making real online payments not as convenient as in the future.

Even Taobao was still offering cash-on-delivery at this point.

Jiang Qin had two options: one was to collect money at the dormitory buildings after selling discount coupons, similar to the group delivery service.

The other method was to settle accounts with the stores, doing a quarterly reconciliation.

The first method was suitable for the university town, but not for later city-wide promotion, as it was impossible to collect payments door-to-door.

Therefore, Jiang Qin chose the second option, letting the stores handle the collections.

This settlement model was not very advantageous for group buying, but it was actually the best solution available. He focused on external expansion and promotion, which required some compromises in certain areas.

However, this method wouldn’t last forever. He planned to personally negotiate with Alipay later to secure a business cooperation and finalize the online payment issues.

“Feng Nanshu, are you hungry?”

The little rich lady turned her head, “A bit.”

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to Wanzhong Mall for hotpot.”

Jiang Qin took out his phone, called Old Cao, and asked him to gather Ren Ziqiang and Zhou Chao. They all met on the first floor of Wanzhong Mall, then he shut down his computer, locked the door, and drove Feng Nanshu out of the campus.

At night, with the streetlights just coming on, a large group of students were waiting to check in at the Vienna Hotel’s reception, holding their ID cards.

Of course, there were some awkward encounters, like bumping into acquaintances.

“You… you’re also checking in?”

“Yeah, with the 40% discount, I’m here for a room too.”

The new waitress, unaware of the group buying event, was somewhat confused, wondering if it was some sort of international “explosive” day.

Meanwhile, Shui Yue Mi Yu · Junhan Bathhouse welcomed a large group of young and fresh-faced customers who, despite their innocence, pretended to be regulars with an air of indifference, as if they had hundreds of thousands in their pockets.

Jiang Qin had specifically signed a contract with Boss Wang, demanding the provision of the most standard services, ensuring that massages were just massages, and ear cleaning was just that.

Making money was honorable, but it was important to protect the nation’s youth from being tainted by worldly influences too early.

At 10 P.M., the deep night enveloped the city, and gold-medal masseuse Liu Cuifen rubbed her sore wrists, feeling as if she were back in the meat processing factory.

Click, click, click. After massaging one young man, another would follow right away, one after the other, like stamping pork.

“Manager Xu, why are there so many customers today?”

“The boss seems to have partnered with four nearby universities. There’s a promotion today, but I’m not quite sure of the details. Just do your job well, your commission is guaranteed.”

On the other side, the Fruitwood Charcoal Steakhouse near the city library was packed, drawing curious whispers from neighboring businesses.

Honestly, this place usually had a stable customer base, but it never experienced such fullness. After all, the concept of an internet celebrity economy didn’t exist yet. Even with a fragrant wine, it took time to ferment and no establishment could become an overnight sensation.

Thus, this situation was quite extraordinary for those unaware.

“Little Zhang, come here for a sec!”

“What’s up, Brother Guo?”

Guo, the owner of a barbecue restaurant, came over: “Where did you get all these customers?”

“Our boss partnered with the universities for a promotion. I didn’t expect so many people,” said Little Zhang naively, sharing what he knew.

“Universities?”

“Yeah, I’m not sure of the specifics. You should ask our manager.”
