"Let's go! We need to get the products on the shelves," Chen Haoxuan said to Jiang Dong. He had been working day and night, only managing to get four or five hours of sleep each day.
On August 23rd, a remarkable supermarket opened in Pingyuan County, named "Supermarket." With such an impressive name, it was bound to be exceptional.
The entrance of Supermarket was bustling with activity. Dozens of people were beating drums, and a few were performing lion dances. The atmosphere was lively and grand, attracting citizens from miles away with the exhilarating sound of drums.
This was Chen Haoxuan's supermarket. He didn't hold any grand opening ceremony; as soon as dawn broke, he opened the doors for business. To draw in customers, he hired professional lion dancers.
Nearby Supermarket, all consumers looking to shop flocked to Chen Haoxuan's place, leaving other shops empty. Chen Haorong's small mall was even worse off; despite its size, it had no customers at all, just a lonely sales representative inside.
A man with sandpaper on his face stood at the entrance of Wanhe Mall, watching the bustling Supermarket not far away. This man was Chen Haorong, and he was in a terrible mood—so bad that he felt like committing murder. His mall had no customers while Chen Haoxuan's was packed. If this continued, he would go bankrupt.
Unable to compete with Chen Haoxuan in business or strength, his only option now was to hire a hitman to eliminate him. Chen Haorong turned back to his office to grab his car keys and prepare to find a killer.
Meanwhile, Chen Haoxuan's supermarket was thriving. Every customer who entered was amazed; their first impression of the interior was that it felt upscale. The unique arrangement made the place feel lively, even if it was a bit crowded. Inside, there were all kinds of goods—daily necessities, clothing and shoes, snacks, various vegetables, mobile phones, electronics, restaurants... bicycles and motorcycles, even ten cars were parked on the first floor for sale.
If it were solely up to Chen Haoxuan, he wouldn't have been able to open so quickly. He invited many merchants to collaborate; Zhang Tianqi sent dozens of people to sell mobile phones at Chen Haoxuan's store, while Wang Long brought his flowers and plants to sell there as well.
Residents living nearby who had visited both Chen Haorong's mall and Chen Haoxuan's supermarket couldn't help but look down on the former for being so inferior. Just look at the supermarket—everything from snacks to cars could be found there.
Outside the entrance, Chen Haoxuan found Jiang Dong and said, "I need to head back for a bit. I'm leaving the safety of the supermarket in your hands; nothing must go wrong."
"Boss, if you leave, who will manage the supermarket? I can handle security without any problem, but I know nothing about running a business," Jiang Dong replied worriedly.
"Don't worry, I've already let Miao Yuxiang manage things. I'm leaving now, but I'll be back in the afternoon," Chen Haoxuan said.
Chen Haoxuan drove away, intending to return to Chen Family Village to take a few pictures with Chen Yina for the supermarket's advertisement.
Fifteen minutes later, Chen Haoxuan arrived back at Chen Family Village. He got out of the car and shouted, "Nana, I'm back!"
As soon as his voice fell, a graceful figure ran out: "Brother Xuan, you finally returned! I missed you so much."
"I missed you too. I'm back because I need your help. I want to take some photos for the supermarket's advertisement. You don't mind, do you?" Chen Haoxuan smiled.
"Of course I don't mind! In fact, I can't wait! But Brother Xuan, I personally think that if you dress as a girl for the photos, I guarantee it will have a great effect," Chen Yina joked.
"Let's skip that! I really don't want to become every guy's dream girl," Chen Haoxuan said with a wry smile. He still remembered how Yang Lin and the others reacted when they saw his photos dressed as a girl; it was nauseating to think about being loved by boys.
"That's because you're even more beautiful than girls!" Chen Yina laughed.
"Alright, let's go upstairs and change into some nice clothes. Later, we'll go up to the mountain top for the photos," Chen Haoxuan said.
Chen Haoxuan and Chen Yina entered the villa, and when they came out, both were wearing white outfits. This time, Chen Haoxuan didn't wear a suit but instead wore matching casual outfits like Chen Yina. This couple's casual wear was something Chen Yina had bought, and it was their first time wearing it.
At the villa entrance, Chen Yina looked at Chen Haoxuan with admiration and happily said, "Brother Xuan, I think you should stop wearing suits and just wear casual clothes. Look at you now; you look so natural and handsome!"
"It's precisely because I look too handsome in this that I'm worried all the girls who see me will fall madly in love with me. For the sake of world peace, I have to stick to wearing suits; you should understand," Chen Haoxuan joked narcissistically.
"You're so vain. You say that wearing casual clothes will make all the girls who see you fall in love with you, but I don't believe that. However, if you dress as a girl and go out, I absolutely believe that all the boys who see you will fall for you," Chen Yina joked.
"Keep your voice down! If others find out that I dressed as a girl, it would be so embarrassing! Let's go! The earlier we leave, the earlier we can come back," Chen Haoxuan said, pulling Chen Yina's hand as they headed up the mountain.
After climbing to the top of a not-so-high mountain, Chen Haoxuan began taking pictures of Chen Yina. He asked her to pose in various ways, acting like a very professional photographer. After taking many photos of Chen Yina, it was her turn to take pictures of him. Chen Haoxuan struck many cool poses, but none of them looked particularly tough; even when he tried to look cool, he still appeared graceful, probably because he was wearing casual clothes!
After taking numerous photos of Chen Haoxuan, they started taking selfies together. He placed the digital camera on the ground or on a tree, set it to automatic mode, and then posed with Chen Yina.
They spent about an hour on the mountain before returning home. Once back, Chen Haoxuan uploaded all the photos to his computer and edited them using graphic software. After finishing the edits, he sent the photos to his pre-selected photo studio boss's email address, requesting that they be made into large prints as soon as possible.
The two of them could be considered ambassadors for the supermarket! Their photos displayed in the supermarket would surely catch consumers' attention. Since both of them were good-looking, consumers would remember their faces. If they remembered them, they would also remember the supermarket, making it more likely that those consumers would choose the supermarket for their next shopping trip.
