After wearing the chronological control group

At 06:30 in the morning, Lao Ma, the owner of the newsstand, opened the door on time.

As usual, he put yesterday's newly arrived magazine in its old position, but when he got a magazine named [Time·Sia], he hesitated.

This is a new magazine, logically speaking, he doesn't want it, because the sales of new magazines are usually not very good, and taking it back will take up space.

It's just that the magazine called Time gave very generous conditions. The top [-] book holders don't have to pay any deposit, and if the book is not sold by the end of the month, they can get it back.

He happened to be in office at the time, so he took it after thinking about it. Anyway, he can return it if he can't sell it, and there is no loss.

He was about to put the magazine with the sunrise pattern on it in the corner, but at this moment, he suddenly thought, people don't charge money in advance to get the goods for him, so he has to push it, right?

Thinking of this, he moved the magazines that had been arranged before and found a position slightly to the left.

As for whether it can be sold or not, it depends on luck.

After all, it was his best benevolence to not put a corner.

After setting it up for a few minutes, familiar customers came to the door one after another. Lao Ma greeted people with a smile and collected money for newspapers and magazines at the same time. He was extremely busy.

When he was free, he found that it was past nine o'clock, and he was about to sit down and rest for a while, when a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy came in front of the newsstand.

The young man has a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, and when he smiles, he bends his eyes, making people let go of their guards in an instant.

Lao Ma suddenly felt that the fatigue of the morning had disappeared, and asked with a smile: "What does this student want to buy? We have sports magazines and technology magazines here."

Ye Weixie said: "I want to read new magazines."

"A new magazine?" Lao Ma repeated, and then let his eyes wander over the magazine while thinking about what new magazines have appeared in his mind recently.

"Oh, this one."

Lao Ma picked up the magazine with the sunrise picture printed on the cover, and introduced, "This is the latest one. I just got it yesterday, and it's the first issue. You can take a look."

"Thank you." Ye Weixie took it, then turned it over and over as if interested, and when he saw the thing in the plastic package on the back, he pretended to be surprised: "What is this?"

Um?The old horse was startled when he heard the words, and subconsciously looked at the magazine Ye Weixie was holding.

Inside the transparent plastic package, there was a small golden hollowed-out cube, and a slender red ribbon was tied to the bottom of the cube.

He frowned, what was that?

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that when he was picking up the book, it seemed that the magazine staff had told him that there were gifts in the book, but he felt that the new magazine was not sold, so he didn't take it too seriously. superior.

Like a bookmark?

He quickly explained: "Ah, that's a bookmark, it's a gift with the book."

"Bookmark?" Ye Weixie showed a look of surprise, "It looks very nice, are all the books the same?"

Lao Ma wanted to say that they should all be the same, but suddenly changed his mind when the words came to his mouth, and told the truth, "I didn't pay attention to this." He leaned over and picked up the remaining few magazines and turned to the back cover to check.

Then I realized, "It's really different."

Previously, what Ye Weixi had in his hand was the hollowed-out plum blossom, but the rest are bamboo, orchid, and chrysanthemum.

He doesn't understand other things, but he knows the Four Gentlemen of the Flower, so he said with a smile: "It's the Four Gentlemen of the Flower, let's see which one do you like?"

Ye Weixie was about to tell him, when a beautiful voice interrupted the conversation between Ye Weixie and the old horse.

"What are the four gentlemen in the flower?"

The two turned their heads, and saw a few people standing next to them, some men and some women, all of whom looked like they were eighteen or nineteen years old.

And it was the girl standing at the front who spoke.

The girl was wearing a brown coat with a high ponytail. When she smiled, there was a small pear dimple on her left cheek. She looked youthful and beautiful.

The companions behind her are not too far behind, all of them are handsome men and beautiful women, very eye-catching.

When Ye Weixie lamented the looks of the few people, the people opposite were also looking at him.

They all come from good backgrounds. They have met many good-looking people since they were young, and they have even seen many celebrities who are sought after by many people. But when they saw Ye Weixie, they still couldn't help it. There was a slight thud.

——It looks really good-looking.

Ye Weixie nodded to them as a greeting.

Lao Ma smiled and explained: "I'm talking about the gift from this magazine. It's the bookmark style of the Four Gentlemen in Flowers. Would you like to take a look?"

The girl with the high ponytail raised her eyebrows when she heard "Four Gentlemen in the Flower", "Oh, show me then."

"Okay." Lao Ma hurriedly handed over the magazine, and at the same time sighed in his heart, these people are either rich or expensive at first glance, and they will definitely buy it if they like it, so it seems that his luck is really good today.

And the people who make this magazine also have ingenuity and know how to use things to attract readers.

After the girl with the high ponytail took the magazine, other people immediately gathered around, they also wanted to see what the Four Gentlemen's bookmark looked like.

When they saw clearly, they couldn't help opening their eyes wide.

"Hey, is this a chrysanthemum? It's so beautiful."

"Golden, is it gold?"

"What are you thinking, how much is a magazine, how could it be possible to give money, it would be a loss."

"Too."

"Ah, I kind of like this green bamboo book, how much is it?"

"Four yuan and eight." The old horse said with a smile.

"That's pretty cheap," someone handed over the money, "Then I want a copy of this bamboo."

"Okay!" The old horse immediately found the change, "You take it."

At this moment, the girl with the high ponytail suddenly said, "Isn't it Four Gentlemen, where is Plum Blossom?"

"Oh, yes, Xiaoxiao, you like plum blossoms." The curly-haired girl who bought the bamboo suddenly realized, and then looked at the old horse and said, "Boss, where are the plum blossoms?"

"Plum blossom?" Lao Ma looked at Ye Weixi subconsciously, but although the classmate didn't say he wanted to buy it, he always followed the principle of first come, first served, so if the other party wanted it, he could only say sorry to others.

But before he could speak, Ye Weixie had already handed over the magazine, "Here is the plum blossom."

Seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao hesitated, "Don't you want it?"

Ye Weixie smiled and said, "I can do it."

After all, he designed the things, and Liang Hua bought several sets for him after they were finished, so he had them both in the office and at home.

"Thank you then." Su Xiaoxiao thanked her sincerely.

Because she really likes plum blossoms, and this wrought iron plum blossom bookmark is also very good-looking, and the hollow design shows the plum blossoms proudly and independently to the extreme.

Ye Weixie: "You're welcome."

"what?"

While they were talking, the curly-haired girl who had paid had already opened the plastic cover of the magazine and took out the bamboo bookmark. At the same time, she accidentally opened the magazine, and happened to see the page of 'Looking for the Baby'.

"Missing children?" She muttered to herself while looking at the baby information above, "Why does this look so familiar?"

"What looks familiar?" Upon hearing this, the companions immediately moved over to see what the curly-haired girl was talking about.

"This." The curly-haired girl clicked on the first picture and said.

Others looked at her finger, "Missing children?"

"Where does it look familiar?"

"Just last month, didn't we go to a hotel in XX city to soak in the hot spring?" the curly-haired girl reminded.

Several people nodded.

"But we didn't see children when we were in the hotel, did we?" someone said.

But having said that, everyone still began to recall the scene at that time. At that time, they only went for a weekend, and they basically stayed in the room they booked during that time. It was true that they had never seen a child.

"Yining is talking about the little boy in the small restaurant, right?" Su Xiaoxiao opened the magazine and looked at the photos and said.

"Yes!" The curly-haired girl named Yining saw that someone finally found out, and immediately said, "It's the little boy who helped in the shop."

Guessing that everyone might have forgotten, she also reminded, "It was the one who accidentally spilled Brother Han's pants when serving us tea."

At that time, they wanted to change their taste temporarily, so instead of eating in the hotel, they chose a small restaurant not too far from the hotel.

The small restaurant is small, but the taste is surprisingly good, and the owner's son was helping to serve tea and water in the restaurant at that time, he looked like a very well-behaved little boy.

It's just that they accidentally wet their companions when pouring water, and the little boy was scolded by the boss.

Having said that, everyone will remember this.

"Looking at it this way, it seems quite similar."

"Look at his eyes, are they exactly the same? And this mole, I remember that little boy also has it."

"But isn't it looking for missing children? Could it be that the little boy was picked up?"

"Maybe he was kidnapped."

……

Ye Weixie's eyes lit up after listening to the whole process.

Lao Ma, the boss of the newsstand, was also taken aback when he heard this.

Wouldn't it be so coincidental?

"That..." Ye Weixie interrupted the conversation of several people, and after they looked over, he smiled, "Excuse me, can I ask, where is the small restaurant you mentioned and what is its name?" ?”

Su Xiaoxiao reacted very quickly, "You mean?"

Ye Weixie nodded, "No matter what, we should have someone check it out, maybe we can reunite a family."

As soon as the words fell, everyone nodded in agreement.

"Then we..." Su Xiaoxiao looked at the magazine in Yining's hand, "Do you want to make this call?"

"should be."

Without further ado, when Su Xiaoxiao was about to find a public phone booth, the old horse said first: "Call here, no charge."

Su Xiaoxiao thanked her after listening.

The old horse waved his hand, "Isn't it said that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda? Just think that I have done a good deed."

If it is really possible to reunite the children with their relatives, what does it matter if he charges a few dollars less?

Su Xiaoxiao nodded, then picked up the phone and dialed the hotline on the magazine.

The person listening to the phone over there obviously didn't expect that someone would call to provide clues on the first day of the magazine's release, and immediately recorded the information and expressed his thanks.

After hanging up the phone, Su Xiaoxiao said: "The person who registered said that they will arrange someone to confirm as soon as possible, and they will notify us if there is any news."

"Great."

Everyone couldn't help but get excited.

Ye Weixie also raised the corners of his mouth, he hoped so, but if not, it doesn't matter, it's a good development anyway.

Su Xiaoxiao thanked Lao Ma again, and then paid for the magazine.

Ye Weixie simply bought a copy too.

Lao Ma bought a total of four magazines, but he didn't expect to sell three of them in just half a morning. He suddenly became a little unsure, should he buy more?

But after thinking about it, I feel that it is not common to be able to sell this time, so forget it.

On the other side, Su Xiaoxiao and Yining had just finished a good deed, and everyone was in a good mood. Yining clamored to celebrate.

"Let's celebrate with Brother Han at noon." Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "Let's go shopping first."

"Okay." Yining held Su Xiaoxiao's arm and said, "I'm going to Manli Clothing. My sister bought a skirt there last time. It was beautiful. Unfortunately, it was gone when I went. I don't know if I have it now."

"Go and see." Su Xiaoxiao looked at a boy, "Xiaoyu, don't you also want to buy that work jacket?"

"Yes, but I didn't even buy it twice."

"Yeah, Manli Clothing's clothes are too difficult to buy. I've been there three times, and it's good if I can buy them once."

"It's already been calculated. My sister-in-law ordered a dress and waited in line for four months to get it."

"My cousin waited for half a year."

……

Hearing these complaints, Ye Weixie touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment.

Customization is not counted, they have a certain amount of stock for general clothes, but, for hunger marketing, they can only ship in a timely and quantitative manner, so there are often shortages.

"Are you going to Manli Clothing?" He interrupted their chat again.

Su Xiaoxiao and the others chatted so happily that they almost forgot about Ye Weixie.

"Ah, yes, you haven't left yet?"

Ye Weixie smiled, and said: "I know the staff of Manli Clothing. If the clothes you want to buy are not limited edition, you can transfer them first."

Yining's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Su Xiaoxiao also looked at Ye Weixie with burning eyes, the New Year is coming soon, and there were many banquets to attend, and she couldn't wear custom-made clothes every time, so she was worried about not having any clothes.

"So," Ye Weixie felt that it would be useless to talk, he simply opened his backpack, took out his mobile phone from inside and said, "I'll make a call." He walked to the side without waiting for their answer.

Su Xiaoxiao and the others looked at each other.

What kind of activism is this?

And it's true, don't lie to them, right?

After all, they know how hard it is to buy clothes from Manli Clothing.In addition, it's not that they never thought about getting the goods in advance through relationship, but everyone failed.

Of course, it is also possible to take money and power, but it also involves the customization of dresses and wedding dresses.

I really offended people, and if I don't do business with them at that time, it will be their loss.

After all, if others have them, but you don't, it would be embarrassing.

A few minutes later, Ye Weixie came back, "Okay, you just go to the store directly."

Although they don't know if it's true or not, Su Xiaoxiao and others expressed their gratitude.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

An hour later, Su Xiaoxiao and the others came to Manli Clothing's store.

But although they were looking forward to it, everyone didn't take it too seriously, lest the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

As soon as he entered the door, Tong Lili, the store manager, greeted her, "Excuse me, is this Miss Su?"

"It's me." Su Xiaoxiao said.

Tong Lili said with a smile: "Please come here, the boss has already told us that all styles in the store will be transferred to you first, and you can look at them as you like."

Su Xiaoxiao was surprised, "Boss?"

Tong Lili didn't say yes or no, and just continued to guide the crowd, "This way please."

But even so, everyone did not dare to underestimate that young man.

……

On the other side, after Ye Weixie left the newsstand, he immediately called Liang Hua.

Liang Hua had also received the news, and upon hearing Ye Weixie's question, he immediately said, "I've already contacted the Public Security Bureau, they attach great importance to it, and have already contacted XX City, saying that they will send someone to verify it as soon as possible. .”

Speaking of this, Liang Hua couldn't help getting excited, "If it's true, our magazine..."

She didn't finish, but Ye Weixie already understood what she meant, but he didn't intend to use it as a publicity point.

"We still have to focus on content," he said.

Liang Hua was startled, but then he understood, "I'm sorry, I was thinking about it."

"It's okay." Ye Weixie said, after all, he once thought about using this as a publicity point, but in the end he reined in the precipice.

He thought for a while, and said: "You should inform everyone, so that everyone should not publicize this matter, and don't give too high expectations. Just treat it with a normal heart."

Because he knows that in the matter of finding missing children, disappointment is always greater than hope, and it is a protracted battle, so he can't dream of smooth sailing just because he has made a good start.

Otherwise, the final blow will be even greater.

"Okay." Liang Hua replied, "I'll tell them right away."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Weixie got on the bike and went to several newsstands to look at it.

It was just that when the statistics came out at night, everyone was thrown a bucket of cold water because the sales volume did not meet expectations.

The atmosphere in the magazine office suddenly became sluggish, especially the old employees, everyone felt uncomfortable, because they all knew how much Ye Weixie had paid to keep Xi Ya.

They were afraid that history would repeat itself, and that Ye Weixie would become the next President Xu.

Xu Jiefang was also uncomfortable, and he couldn't figure it out. They worked so hard, why the magazine still didn't improve?

Ye Weixie, however, was very excited, and even comforted him: "What's the rush, it's only the first day, maybe the sales will improve tomorrow."

Everyone heard the words and could only nod in agreement, and at the same time cheer themselves up, don't be discouraged.

It's just a pity that Ye Weixie's words didn't come true. The sales on the second day, and even the next three days, didn't show any improvement. The number of sales every day was only a handful.

The only good news during this period is that the police in XX City went to the small restaurant to verify that the little boy was the one in the magazine.

After investigation, it was learned that the little boy was bought from human traffickers by the owner of the small restaurant for thousands of dollars two years ago, just to carry on the family line.

And now, the little boy has been taken back by his biological parents.

After Ye Weixie heard the news, in order to celebrate, he ordered a copy of the time-honored Shengjian for everyone in the magazine.

When the fried rice arrived, Ye Weixie was chatting with Liang Hua about the next issue in the office.

Liang Hua was a little discouraged, "Should we—"

"boom!"

The office door was pushed open vigorously, and Nong Guochao rushed in excitedly, his face flushed, and he said incoherently: "Up, up, up!"

Ye Weixie frowned, "What's up?"

"Sell, sell!!"

Liang Huateng stood up, "Really?"

"Really." Nong Guochao looked at Ye Weixie with burning eyes and said, "We just received a lot of calls to add more goods, all of them said that they are not enough to sell, let us deliver immediately, and the quantity is quite large. "

After Ye Weixie heard this, he wished he could go out and run for a couple of laps. Although he seemed calm these few days, it was the first magazine he edited as editor-in-chief. It would be a lie if he said he didn't care.

It's just that as the boss, he has to stabilize the situation, otherwise the subordinates will disperse.

He took a deep breath, clenched his fists and said calmly: "Immediately collect the quantity and make the printing factory ready to print at any time."

"Yes!!!"

The author has something to say:
