I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

After the call connected, Xing Zhigao's voice came from the other end: "Shen Kang, are you free now? I need to talk to you about something..."

After chatting for a while, Shen Kang realized that what Xing Zhigao was talking about was the story of Yangke University students who wanted to do public service but were discouraged by the cost of express delivery.

After finishing this, Xing Zhigao asked Shen Kang if he had any ideas.

But in reality, Xing Zhigao didn't expect Shen Kang to have any solutions.

The main purpose of Xing Zhigao's call was actually to find an excuse to contact Shen Kang more. After all, Shen Kang was the CEO of Anjia, and if the two of them contacted each other more and their relationship got better, it would only benefit Xing Zhigao's future plans, and not harm them.

However, Xing Zhigao overheard Shen Kang say, "Yes, I also discovered this problem while browsing Xianyu.com. I already have an idea and want to try it out first."

Have any ideas?

This surprised Xing Zhigao for a moment. However, he had only called to establish a relationship, so it didn't matter if Shen Kang couldn't do it; if he could, that would be even better.

Xing Zhigao added, "Is there anything our Warm Sunshine Society can help with? Just let us know!"

If Shen Kang's plan requires the involvement of the Nuanyang Society, then Xing Zhigao will have more opportunities to connect with Shen Kang, which would be even better.

Unfortunately, Shen Kang smiled and said, "I don't need the Warm Sunshine Society's help right now. But thank you anyway. I might bother you again, President Xing, if I need the Warm Sunshine Society's help in the future."

"Hey, this is our Warm Sunshine Society's duty, don't worry about bothering me, just call me anytime..."

……

The next day, after lunch, Shen Kang went to the entrepreneurship base of Yangke University.

Besides Shen Kang, Ye Jintong, Yin Zhiqian, and Ma Liang also have the 211 key—Shen Kang made several copies of the key.

Upon arriving at the entrance of 211, Shen Kang discovered that the room had been cleaned up and was spotless, no longer resembling its previous dilapidated and abandoned state.

In the middle was a long desk, with chairs arranged along it, and a whiteboard in the far corner. In the inner corner, there was also a recliner that seemed to have been moved from somewhere.

There were two men and two women sitting inside. The two men were from the Singles Association, and the two women were Ye Jintong and Xu Mengting. They were sitting together, looking at the laptop in front of them, which was playing a movie on the loudspeaker.

Shen Kang then went over, pulled Ye Jintong out, and told her about some things: "There are some new changes to the charity section on Xianyu.com that I need to tell you about..."

At the same time, backstreet

Tang Yongming had already arranged some things as Shen Kang had previously suggested, such as an old-fashioned mailbox and a special bookshelf space to create a "regret bookshelf".

These major modifications are relatively simple, and the required items are quite common, so they're already done. There are some harder-to-find secondhand items, which will take a little more time. However, those are minor details, just icing on the cake, so they're not very important. The software is already ready to be installed.

Therefore, this morning, Tang Yongming, who couldn't wait, had already called Ji Feiyan over and reshot the photos according to Shen Kang's soft advertisement framework, thus completing the production of this soft advertisement.

After the ad was completed, Ji Feiyan immediately posted it on the Beiming Community's main page.

Those who follow Ji Feiyan in the Beiming Community will naturally see her new post on her profile page on the right.

Han Ruixi, a sophomore, was one of the female students who followed Ji Feiyan.

Han Ruixi comes from an average family, has an average appearance, and average grades. She has never been in a relationship before and has many fantasies about love and the world.

Then, not long ago, she learned about the Beiming Forum from her roommate and started using it.

In the plaza of the Beiming Forum, Han Ruixi had also seen those who taught fashion and yoga. She wasn't interested in those girls, thought they weren't very good, and didn't pay attention to any of them.

Han Ruixi's following list only includes a few boys.

It wasn't until a few days ago that Han Ruixi's following list added its first girl, Ji Feiyan—she saw a post Ji Feiyan made on the public square. After clicking in and reading for a while, the more she looked, the more she felt this girl was different. Refined, tasteful, and living a vibrant life, she was exactly the kind of woman Han Ruixi aspired to be, completely different from the other girls who posted!

So Han Ruixi paid close attention and even dug out and read through all of Ji Feiyan's previous posts.

Today, Han Ruixi had no classes in the afternoon and was browsing the Beiming Forum in her dormitory. As she was browsing, she saw that Ji Feiyan had posted a new thread, so she immediately clicked on it to read it.

"What will she post today?...?"

Han Ruixi thought to herself as she clicked on the link.

Perhaps because she herself couldn't enjoy afternoon tea at a luxury hotel, go on a yacht trip, or appear glamorous and pampered like a young lady in front of the camera, Han Ruixi projected her own desires onto Ji Feiyan. It seemed that by watching Ji Feiyan post those content and photos, she herself became Ji Feiyan, living the life she dreamed of.

Then Han Ruixi saw the content that Ji Feiyan posted today.

"A bookstore?"

Han Ruixi was a little confused.

Ji Feiyan's previous posts were mostly about high-end places that Han Ruixi couldn't access. This was the first time Han Ruixi had seen such down-to-earth content as "bookstores" in Ji Feiyan's posts.

This gave Han Ruixi a sense of goodwill, and she slowly began to watch.

As Han Ruixi watched, she began to understand why Ji Feiyan had posted about the bookstore.

This is not an ordinary bookstore, but a very stylish one.

The interior design is full of artistic flair, with old-fashioned mailboxes and latte art coffee... The whole thing creates a feeling of being detached from the hustle and bustle of the world, elegant, very elegant.

What impressed Han Ruixi the most was the "regret bookshelf" in this bookstore.

"The boy who returned 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' said he healed his heartbreak during the rainy season in Macondo. Now, the girl who bought the copy has written back to him, saying that the yellow butterflies in the book reminded her of her grandmother."

"Perhaps one day, this boy who once returned 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' will return to the bookstore. Then he will see the reply left by the girl who bought his book..."

Han Ruixi seemed to see a man and a woman from different times and spaces, who had never interacted before, coming together because of a book.

The abrupt ending leaves endless room for imagination regarding the future of these two individuals—perhaps their connection ends here, and they will never have any further interaction.

Perhaps the boy will leave the girl new letters, and the two will exchange letters, getting to know each other in this increasingly fast-paced era through this ancient form of communication that still retains the scent of ink, and eventually meeting in person.

The moment they met, he was wearing a scarf, having completely emerged from Macondo's rainy season, while she wore a warm little red hat, watching him approach from afar and giving him a warm smile...

This is like a scene from a movie come to life!

Most importantly, judging from the information in Ji Feiyan's post, this stylish bookstore is located on the back street outside the north gate of Yang University of Science and Technology!

It exists in reality, not in a movie.

Furthermore, unlike the things in Ji Feiyan's previous posts, which were unattainable, this place is accessible to any student who can easily enter and make purchases.

This suddenly excited Han Ruixi, making her feel a little thrilled.

She couldn't help but wonder, if she had gone to that bookstore, found a returned book on that shelf of regrets, bought it, and left a letter for the person who returned it, would she have received a reply?

And what kind of person is the other end of the book I bought, connected to me?

Does he have soft, curly hair, and a warm smile, like a little golden retriever? Is he gentle enough to offer you a light jacket in the campus where maple leaves are falling? ...

Imagination is terrifying. Especially the kind of imagination that Ji Feiyan creates through a series of strong bourgeois sentiments—that's even more terrifying.

The more Han Ruixi thought about it, the more tempted she became.

That's perfect, there aren't many barriers to entry.

After reading Ji Feiyan's post again, she finally mustered up her courage, stood up, grabbed her wallet, and prepared to go out.

"I'm just going to buy a book. Yeah, that's it."

Han Ruixi said this to herself, as if this had swept away the last bit of restraint and hesitation in her heart, allowing her to go there openly and honestly.

So much so that when her roommate asked her where she was going, Han Ruixi replied, "To buy books"...

Around 2 PM, back street

Zhang Hongwei stood at the entrance of the Hongwei Convenience Store once again.

At this time of day, the backstreet is usually quiet, with people going to work or taking a nap.

Zhang Hongwei also brought out a recliner, placed it by the door, lay down, and planned to take a nap.

But he hadn't even had a chance to doze off for long before he couldn't fall asleep again.

Because people were gradually entering that bookstore next door.

This made Zhang Hongwei sit up from the recliner, looking over there with surprise and uncertainty.

This bookstore has been open next door for over a month, and he knows very well how the business is there; usually, there are only a few customers a day.

But today, just during the time he was lying outside, the number of customers he saw arriving one after another already exceeded the number of customers this bookstore used to have in a whole day!

And these guests are still arriving one after another.

What's going on?

As Zhang Hongwei was looking at the bookstore entrance, the noodle shop owner slipped over, skillfully poured out two cigarettes, handed one to Zhang Hongwei, lit one for both of them, took a puff, and then waved the hand holding the cigarette towards the bookstore entrance. "Is their business booming today? Something's not right."

At this time, the noodle shop wasn't doing much business either, so the owner moved a deck chair to the entrance intending to lie down and sunbathe for a while. Then he saw customers gradually arriving from afar, so he decided to come over.

"They all seem to be students," the noodle shop owner remarked, glancing at yet another customer entering the bookstore.

Zhang Hongwei took a drag of his cigarette, grunted "hmm," and remained silent for a moment.

After taking a couple of puffs of his cigarette and remaining silent for a while, the noodle shop owner suddenly spoke up: "Did they advertise their boyfriend on that website, whatever it is?"

Zhang Hongwei hesitated for a moment, then said, "I don't know. This morning, I saw that girl from yesterday come again. She messed around in his shop for a long time, and then left. Judging from her appearance, this guy should be done."

The noodle shop owner thought for a moment and said, "I've heard my kid mention this 'website,' it's really fast. If it's made in the morning, it should be up and running on that website by noon, and people can see it."

After taking two more puffs of his cigarette, Zhang Hongwei threw the nearly empty cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out. "You mean, all these kids saw GG and came to the bookstore to buy books?"

"Possibly."

"What is this GG? It's so powerful?" Zhang Hongwei was still a little skeptical.

The noodle shop owner, however, perked up and began recounting some old stories: "Those guys from CCTV back in the day were really something. Remember that liquor? Nobody knew anything about it at first, but one guy came out and it sold hundreds of millions in a year! Really something..."

As the noodle shop owner talked, he himself became somewhat tempted.

Zhang Hongwei remained noncommittal, still staring at the bookstore entrance, saying, "Even if someone sees GG coming in, it doesn't necessarily mean they'll buy a book."

The noodle shop owner thought about it and agreed. The two of them simply squatted at the door and continued to observe the entrance of the bookstore next door. However, their focus shifted from people entering the store to people leaving, especially the hands of the students coming out.

After squatting and observing for a while, the two discovered that while some students were empty-handed, many were carrying books. In fact, proportionally, there were more students carrying books than empty-handed!

"This guy is fierce..." the noodle shop owner muttered to himself as he saw this.

Zhang Hongwei remained silent; after all, facts speak louder than words. At the same time, his mind began to race: Was this guy really that amazing? He'd transformed a bookstore from a deserted place to one with such booming business?

If I installed a similar gadget at my convenience store, wouldn't it boost business significantly?

As Zhang Hongwei was lost in thought, the noodle shop owner glanced at him, stopped muttering to himself, and also began to ponder: He figured that Hongwei, that kid, was also thinking about going to that website to play games. But Hongwei's thinking was too simplistic. His convenience store only sold daily necessities; what was so special about it? Schools have supermarkets, so why wouldn't they come to his convenience store?

So, this GG from that website, Hongwei, won't be able to use it.

But my noodle shop is different. I make noodles, which is a specialty food. It has its own unique characteristics, and the taste is very good. Most importantly, it's unique. If I could get some good reviews on that website and attract more customers, that would be great. I just don't know how expensive those websites are for advertising...
