Chapter 205 Promotion
Liu Ran and Chen Yang returned to the company's headquarters. Liu Ran checked the accounts; the net profit currently stood at 290 million.
In the past two days, as the scars on Lin Xiaoli's face faded, the number of orders increased steadily.
Liu Ran looked at the figures and frowned. She said to Chen Yang, "At this rate, by noon tomorrow, this card should have 430 million."
"Recently, it's the peak season for our cosmetics sales. After these few days, the sales speed will decrease. If we have 430 million before the auction tomorrow, plus the 500 million from Grandma, will 930 million be enough to acquire Blue Sky Building?"
Chen Yang pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "It's too risky. How about we run a promotional event?"
"Promotion?" Liu Ran looked at Chen Yang curiously. "Chen Yang, promoting is the last thing we should do with live stream sales. Because once people realize there might be price reductions, they won't buy at regular times but will wait for the next promotion."
Chen Yang nodded. "I understand, but 430 million probably won't be enough to buy Blue Sky Building. For safety, I think you need at least 1.1 billion to secure it."
Liu Ran stared into Chen Yang's eyes and stroked her chin. "Chen Yang, I always feel like you're too eager for me to buy Blue Sky Building. Do you have other intentions?"
"Honestly, I think if we can't buy it, so be it. After all, Blue Sky Building is very large and well-maintained. A company as small as ours doesn't really need such a massive commercial building as our headquarters!"
Chen Yang laughed. "It's such a great bargain, why wouldn't I go for it? I have no other intentions, I just want to buy the building."
"Here's what we can do: we can use my birthday as an excuse, telling the audience that we only offer discounts once a year, and the discount isn't even that high, selling it for 280 yuan."
"It's only a 20 yuan discount, so those who bought before won't complain, and others won't insist on waiting a year to buy this cosmetic product."
Liu Ran said, "Your birthday is a good excuse. Alright, let's say it's your birthday."
Chen Yang smiled. "Yes, let's say it's my birthday plus our wedding anniversary. These two dates combined, so we'll sell it for 280 yuan once a year, this discount representing our blessing for love."
Liu Ran's face turned red. She nodded, "Okay, it's decided then."
Subsequently, Liu Ran immediately contacted Lin Xiaoli, asking her to prepare for a discount starting at midnight tonight during the live stream.
The reason for the discount would be the birthday of the live stream company's founder's husband, along with their first wedding anniversary, and it would be stipulated that the discount is only offered once a year, with the next discount being on the same day next year.
After that, Liu Ran also arranged for Su Ya to handle the publicity and promotion, aiming to secure more orders within the next day, with the funds from these orders to be used for purchasing Blue Sky Building.
With all these arrangements made, Chen Yang and Liu Ran finally felt at ease and returned to Garden Community, moving into the villa.
On their first day in the villa, Liu Ran was visibly happy and excited. She inspected the villa from top to bottom three times, finally confirming that this was her home, a place she could freely enter and exit from now on. Su Ya also moved into the large villa, no longer staying in a hotel.
However, Su Ya and Liu Ran's bedrooms were on the second floor, while Chen Yang's bedroom was on the third floor.
This way, even if Su Ya, who liked to wear translucent pajamas, wandered around the study reading, it wouldn't cause any issues, as Chen Yang would generally not go up to the second floor.
In the evening, Chen Yang stood by the window on the third floor.
He could hear Liu Ran and Su Ya's steady breathing from the second floor, and a smile played on his lips.
Chen Yang stood on the rooftop, looking out at the entire community. Then he raised his head, his gaze drifting towards the distant night, his thoughts once again wandering back twenty years.
At that time, his family of four had fled in haste, with over twenty loyal subordinates.
The surrounding guards kept falling to the ground.
Some had their heads blown apart by sniper rifles, while others were directly blown away.
His mother shielded him tightly. Bullets pierced her chest, and blood splattered onto his face. In the most critical moment, his father threw him into the river, then pulled his sister and continued to flee.
Gunshots, firelight, the icy river water, darkness...
Everything was like a demon, once again consuming Chen Yang's thoughts.
Chen Yang's eyes snapped open, and he gasped for air. Even after twenty years, he still couldn't let go of what had happened that day.
Chen Yang turned and returned to his room, checking the date.
Twenty years had passed.
However, Chen Yang had never forgotten what happened back then.
He had also been investigating what had transpired.
Although he was young and didn't understand anything at the time, and had no idea who the opponents were, everything leaves traces. As long as he continued to investigate, the revenge for his family would surely be avenged.
Chen Yang sat down cross-legged and began to meditate, calming himself.
The image of a small hand from twenty years ago reappeared in his mind.
He had been swept far away in the darkness, in the icy river water, feeling as if he was about to freeze solid, when a small hand appeared before him. That small hand held onto him tightly, pulling him to the shore.
Chen Yang looked at the slender hand and bit down, gulping down the warm fresh blood.
He looked up and saw a pair of eyes as bright as stars and as precious as jewels. The girl didn't cry out in pain but instead pulled the boy, quickly hiding in a haystack.
The girl took off all her clothes and hugged herself tightly, wrapping her thin down jacket around both of them.
Snow fell continuously outside. Search parties passed by again and again. In that dangerous and cold night, he slept soundly, with such peace.
To this day, he still remembered the girl's warm embrace.
A smile slowly spread across Chen Yang's lips. His heart was no longer consumed by hatred; it was filled with sunshine and gratitude.
Chen Yang smiled, his breathing became steady, and he eventually fell asleep.
He knew that the angel had not only saved his life but had also prevented him from falling into hatred and being consumed by darkness for many years to come.
The next morning, Chen Yang heard Su Ya's scream from downstairs.
Su Ya exclaimed noisily, "Holy crap! Liu Ran, are you crazy? Last night's order volume... Ah!"
