The programmer and his woman

Since the store incident, the employees we hired to help have been idle. After the second month, we stopped hiring them. In the past two months, although we have not suffered too much physical fatigue and exhaustion, the huge psychological pressure has exhausted us. Every day, we are gloomy and sighing, as if life has lost its color and become dull.

However, as time went by, things finally took a turn for the better. The store gradually returned to normal, and business slowly returned to its former prosperity. Sales continued to rise, and everything seemed to be moving in a good direction. At this time, a new trend emerged in the market - finding models to take photos themselves. It is rumored that if the photos are taken by yourself, the platform will give more main traffic support. This is undoubtedly an attractive opportunity for us.

Xiaoxia has a graceful figure, and after wearing this kind of celebrity-style clothing, she looks like a fairy descending from the earth, graceful and charming, which makes people stare at her. So, I came up with a bold idea: why not let Xiaoxia be a model? We acted immediately and found an elegant restaurant to take a group of beautiful photos.

I never thought that just by taking a few photos casually and uploading them to the store, this product would inexplicably become popular and even become a hot item highly recommended by the platform! This is really an unexpected gain! As a result, we were naturally overjoyed and encouraged. While the iron was hot, we immediately took photos of several other styles of clothing. The results were also surprising. All of the products launched later became hot items without exception! This series of impressive achievements not only gave us confidence, but also allowed us to discover new business opportunities and development directions.

In this moment, the business that was originally ordinary suddenly became extremely hot like a volcanic eruption! Faced with such a surging tide of customers, we had to wave the flag in our hands again and urgently recruit more people to help. When new employees poured into the store like a tide, the sunshine of the next morning sprinkled on our faces, as if it injected us with a powerful force, making us ready to regroup and meet new challenges.

However, fate always likes to play tricks on us. Just when we were full of confidence, a sudden change hit us like a bolt from the blue - the network was disconnected without any warning! At first, we still had a glimmer of luck, naively thinking that it was just a short-term minor failure, and perhaps we only needed to wait for a while before everything would be back to normal. However, the noise coming from outside was like a sharp sword, piercing our last fantasy. It turned out that a large-scale network rectification operation was underway in the urban village where we lived. The workers were like hardworking bees, cutting off the criss-crossing network cables one by one. According to the workers on the construction site, the superiors issued a clear instruction that because the network cables here were too complicated and chaotic, like a tangled mess, it was very easy to cause fire accidents, so decisive measures must be taken to disconnect the network and carry out a thorough rectification for a period of time. As for when the network can be restored to unimpeded, they could only shake their heads helplessly, saying that they knew nothing.

It was really puzzling. How did they do it? They were able to cut off all the network and mobile phone signals so quickly! Faced with this sudden change, he and I had no idea how to deal with it. Especially when we saw the confusion and helplessness on the faces of those new employees, we were even more worried: this is troublesome. Although the people have been recruited, the work cannot be carried out at all! This situation is really overwhelming, and we can't help but fall into deep contemplation.

In the following period of time, we had to face the arduous task of starting to look for housing again. However, when we looked around, we found that except for this urban village, there were almost only ordinary houses around. The rent of these ordinary houses is much higher than that of the urban village, and they also require long-term contracts, which is undoubtedly a huge expense for us! What's worse is that the rent of the urban village has not yet expired. If we ask the landlord to refund the rent just because the Internet is disconnected, it is simply a pipe dream! Therefore, at this moment we are in a dilemma: should we choose to continue waiting for the Internet to be restored? Or quickly find another place to rent a house? This question is really very troubling! In desperation, we can only disband on the spot after paying the wages of the hired employees again, and it has become a state where only Xiaoxia and I are alone.

Perhaps we are born to be hardworking and willing to work hard! Not long after we laid off the employees, news came that the village in the city had access to the Internet. This should have been a great thing, but it was far from simple - it was said that only the telecommunications company's broadband could be installed, and the price was twice as expensive as other companies! This really made people happy and worried! Although the price was high, we still had to choose to install it for the sake of life and work. However, paying money does not mean that you can enjoy the Internet service immediately. We need to wait in line, and only when it is our turn can we install it. So, in the following days, I had to run to the Internet company in the village every day, and entertaining and giving gifts were commonplace, just to be able to install broadband as soon as possible.

God will not let down those who work hard. After a few days of unremitting efforts, my home finally had access to the Internet! The online store, which had been stagnant for more than a month, can finally start operating again. Fortunately, I still have Xiaoxia, an excellent model, to help. With her help, the online store gradually regained its former vitality. With the busy business, we added a new task: taking pictures of the products ourselves. Whenever a new model is launched, we will carefully select several products with good styles and quality, and take them back to take pictures in person. At first, everything went smoothly, but as the business got better and better, the daytime was almost filled with various affairs, and there was no time to take pictures. In desperation, we could only choose to finish the meal in a hurry after the packaging and delivery at night, and then take pictures in the weak light of the city street lamps at three or four o'clock in the morning. Although it was hard, we kept gritting our teeth for our dreams...

After unremitting efforts, the business finally reached a new level! On this day, Xiaoxia carefully calculated the accounts and told me excitedly: "Wang Dong, guess how much money we have made from running the online store over the years?" Since Xiaoxia has always been in charge of the accounts and I never ask, I really have no idea about the question she asked. So, I could only shake my head helplessly and wait quietly for her to continue. "We have made millions!" Xiaoxia shouted excitedly, unable to suppress her excitement.

At this time, as if my family had heard our conversation, my family suddenly called me. I quickly picked up the phone and heard my mother say, "Dongzi, the housing prices in the city have risen a lot now, and houses are very popular. As soon as a house is listed by the real estate agency, it will be snapped up immediately. Do you want to take some time to come back and take a look? I'm worried that if you don't hurry up and buy it, you may never be able to buy it again."

After hanging up the phone, Xiaoxia and I started discussing this matter. The previous house has been sold, and if the housing prices continue to rise, the money we work so hard to earn here may not be enough to buy a house back home.

Xiaoxia lowered her head slightly, staring at the ground, as if thinking about something important. After a while, she slowly raised her head and said, "Well... In this case, I will go back to check the specific situation first, and then weigh the pros and cons and make a final conclusion. During this time, you stay here to take care of the business of the store." After that, she nodded slightly, indicating that she had made up her mind.

After returning to her hometown, Xiaoxia brought back a shocking piece of news. The real estate market in her hometown was so hot that even those old, dilapidated, and inconspicuous small houses became popular and were snapped up by people. Once the real estate agency had a new house for sale, it would find a buyer to book it on the same day. What was even more outrageous was that some homeowners were willing to bear the risk of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan in liquidated damages and violate the spirit of the contract and go back on their word and not sell the house. Such things were not isolated cases, but happened frequently.

All the house inspection trips Xiaoxia had scheduled in the past few days were cancelled by the landlords one by one. Some even raised the price by tens of thousands on the spot when Xiaoxia was actually inspecting the house, and threatened that "if you are willing to increase the price, you can continue to inspect." At this moment, everyone seemed to be in a state of madness. Faced with such a situation, Xiaoxia had not been able to find a satisfactory house for a week, and she was inevitably a little flustered. Fortunately, the sky did not disappoint those who work hard, and finally Xiaoxia met a person who was eager to change houses. This person had already chosen a new house and quickly finalized it. Because he urgently needed funds to pay the house price, he was willing to sell his existing house. After several twists and turns, Xiaoxia finally successfully purchased the house for millions of yuan. At this point, the money she had earned from years of hard work in G City was almost exhausted. However, it is fortunate that she finally completed a major event in her life. Since Xiaoxia returned, housing prices have continued to rise, but she is very satisfied with the house she bought. After returning home, she worked even harder, just to provide her children with a better environment for growth.

So, after careful consideration, we set out to register a company of our own and create a unique online brand women's clothing line. This process was full of challenges and opportunities, but we gradually achieved success with our firm belief and unremitting efforts.

As our business continued to grow, our business was getting better and better. Not only that, through long-term accumulation, we also earned enough money to decorate our new home. What's more surprising is that during this period, the license plate number that I had never been able to get was actually obtained by chance! This is undoubtedly a reward from fate for our hard work.

A few years later, our children were already in primary school, and we returned home with the wealth we had earned through years of hard work and a stable business. Along the way, we looked forward to our new life in our hometown, where we had familiar relatives and friends, and where we had memories and footprints of growing up.

We decided to use the money to start a business in our hometown and contribute to the development of our hometown. We are very happy to see our children growing up happily in the new environment. They will receive a better education and have a brighter future. We also found a sense of belonging and accomplishment in our hometown, and truly achieved a double harvest of career and family.
