As a seasoned driver who has lived two lives, Qin Chuan immediately recognized what it was. Without being obvious, he adjusted his posture slightly to make the contact more comfortable.
Although he had always restrained himself and didn't want to have any other kind of relationship with Li Ya, it was acceptable to take advantage of opportunities occasionally. Life shouldn't be too monotonous after all.
There always needs to be some kind of seasoning!
Qin Chuan didn't know if Li Ya had noticed his small move, but the other party didn't pull away. Not only that, but she hugged him even tighter, leaning half her body against him, her breath like orchids.
Qin Chuan controlled his wandering thoughts and patiently explained, "You're a well-educated student who studied abroad. You should know about curiosity, right?"
Li Ya's eyes immediately lit up, "I get it, you're doing this on purpose, making them curious!"
"Exactly! I'm doing it on purpose!"
Qin Chuan said with certainty, "Everyone has curiosity. People always hold a certain amount of curiosity towards the unknown!"
"What we need to do now is to stimulate this curiosity as much as possible! Make it five or even seven parts, completely whetting everyone's appetite!"
"When everyone's appetite is sufficiently whetted, we'll unleash the ultimate move!"
Li Ya asked enthusiastically, "Then what's your ultimate move?"
Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Of course, it's the major changes for our Jin Die Apparel!"
"We have fifteen days left before opening. For the first fourteen days, we'll maintain this sense of mystery. On the last day, we'll write an article about the changes at Jin Die Apparel and publish it!"
"This article must be beautifully written, detailing all the changes at Jin Die Apparel. For example, we've hired internationally renowned fashion designers, discarded the old craftsmanship, and will only produce premium, trend-setting products, introducing advanced machinery, and so on. Basically, write anything good!"
"I believe that after fourteen days of publicity, everyone will be filled with immense curiosity and want to see what's opening!"
"When this article comes out, it will instantly ignite the entire city!"
Qin Chuan exuded strong confidence. In terms of marketing, he was a master in his previous life, and even more so in this one.
"At the same time, on the opening day, we'll have many discount activities, such as vouchers or balloon popping, to fully stimulate people's desire to buy!"
As Qin Chuan spoke incessantly, Li Ya's pretty face was also filled with excitement, and her entire demeanor became incredibly animated.
At the same time, her eyes were filled with deep admiration. At some point, she, a highly educated student, had actually developed a sense of worship for Qin Chuan.
If this were to get out, it would be an incredible thing, yet here it was, happening. And Li Ya found that she didn't feel awkward at all, but rather thought it was natural.
Qin Chuan seemed to possess a kind of magic, occasionally bursting with flashes of brilliance that made her helplessly fall deeper...
By the time Qin Chuan finished speaking, over half an hour had passed. Li Ya was incredibly energetic, grabbing Qin Chuan's arm, "Then let's go to the television station and newspaper office now, and hurry up and place advertisements!"
Qin Chuan helplessly stood up.
"Huh? Why do you suddenly have a woven multicolored bracelet with a bell on your wrist?"
Li Ya asked.
"Oh, my mom made it for me. I've been running around outside, so she wished me safety and smooth sailing!"
Qin Chuan answered casually.
Li Ya didn't doubt him, only envied, "Your mother really loves you..."
The two first went to the newspaper office. When the staff heard they were there to place an advertisement, and wanted the most famous headline space in the entire county, they dared not delay and immediately took them to see the deputy editor-in-chief.
The deputy editor-in-chief was a plump man in his forties named Qi Chao. Upon seeing Li Ya, he showed unparalleled enthusiasm.
"What wind has blown the dignified beautiful factory director to my doorstep? Director Li, please sit! Please sit!"
Li Ya felt a bit strange, as she didn't recognize this deputy editor-in-chief, yet he seemed very familiar with her.
However, she didn't show it and instead displayed high emotional intelligence, engaging in mutual praise that made Qi Chao laugh heartily within a few sentences.
Qin Chuan watched, muttering to himself, how could Li Ya be so clever when facing others but so slow to react with him, needing him for everything?
"Editor-in-Chief Qi, I'm actually here to place an advertisement in your paper."
A few minutes later, their conversation entered its main topic, and Li Ya spoke.
"Of course, that's no problem. Director Li, just say what kind of advertisement you want, and I'll arrange it!"
Qi Chao was very generous, his two plump hands waving in the air.
Li Ya casually picked up a newspaper from the side and pointed to the entire front page, "I want this entire page for advertising!"
Qi Chao was immediately startled and hurriedly said, "Director Li, this entire page isn't cheap. What are you trying to do, taking up such a large space?"
"What else could I be doing besides placing an advertisement!"
Li Ya's words were vague, "How much does an entire page for advertising cost?"
Qi Chao was also a shrewd person. Seeing that Li Ya was unwilling to say, he didn't press further and slowly replied, "It depends on which newspaper you want to advertise in. We have Yongnan Headlines, Yongnan Livelihood, and..."
"Just Yongnan Headlines. I don't care for any other newspaper!"
Li Ya said decisively.
"Yongnan Headlines is the most popular spot in our county. Such a large space for one day would probably cost no less than a thousand yuan!"
Qi Chao held up one finger.
Li Ya couldn't help but glance at Qin Chuan sitting beside her. Seeing that he had no reaction, she immediately said, "Editor-in-Chief Qi, isn't this price a bit too high? I'm not just advertising for one day, but for half a month continuously!"
"Advertising continuously for half a month? And taking up the entire page every day?"
Qi Chao's eyes began to sparkle upon hearing this.
The newspaper industry was quite good at the moment, but that depended on the location. In a small county, the permanent population was limited, and the flow of people was also limited. The newspaper's annual profit was just enough to cover all expenses.
Normally, big clients rarely came to place advertisements. If they did, they were usually regular cooperating units and enterprises, and the prices were very low.
Now that Li Ya, such a big client, had suddenly appeared, it would be strange if Qi Chao wasn't tempted!
"That's correct, we want to advertise continuously for half a month. Editor-in-Chief Qi, could you perhaps offer a more flexible price!"
Qin Chuan, who had been silently watching, interjected.
"As far as I know, although the newspaper business is stable nowadays, there are rarely additional commercial incomes, especially for an 18th-tier small county like ours!"
"I believe that we advertisers are definitely among the largest groups!"
"If Editor-in-Chief Qi is willing to give a suitable price, it will not only earn our friendship but also bring some extra income and reputation to the newspaper and to Editor-in-Chief Qi personally. This is definitely a perfect cooperation for both parties!"
"Editor-in-Chief Qi, don't you think so?"
