From humble beginnings to the pinnacle of life

I was about to call her when I turned around and found her sitting at the entrance of a Mixue Ice Cream shop.

Holding an ice cream cone, he ate it with relish, taking small bites, looking relaxed and carefree.

I felt utterly helpless. I quickly stepped forward and said curtly:

"You're having such a good time, haven't you finished handing out flyers? You're just sitting here slacking off and eating. Your work ethic is just too much..."

Before I could finish speaking, Su Qing pointed to the bag of flyers at her feet.

I looked down and saw that the bag was empty; not a single flyer was left.

Su Qing blinked her bright, large eyes, raised her chin, and looked at me with a proud expression:

"Mr. Lin, is there anything else you'd like to say?"

I was speechless for a moment, then pulled out the chair next to me and sat down.

"How did you finish so quickly? I ran back and forth until my legs were about to give out the message, and you were standing still and you were even faster than me."

She raised her smug face and haughtily snorted, "This is my personal charm, something you can't learn."

I smiled without saying a word, completely speechless.

It must be admitted that her good looks are indeed a unique advantage she has.

Su Qing stood up again and said, "It's so hot today, let me treat you to an ice cream cone to cool you down."

She went straight to buy an ice cream cone and handed it to me.

I'm not afraid to admit it, but this is probably the first time I've ever eaten an ice cream cone.

Although it's not expensive, I always feel that a grown man would eat this for no reason.

Looking at the cold, sweet ice cream cone in my hand, a popular internet phrase inexplicably popped into my head:

"The first bouquet of flowers a man receives in his life will most likely be at his own tombstone."

The ice cream cone was sweet, but I didn't think it was as sweet as Su Qing's smile.

Strange, why do I find her more pleasing to the eye now?

Just as I was lost in thought, Su Qing suddenly dropped her playful demeanor and began to analyze the situation very seriously:

"Boss Lin, I have a serious suggestion. The way we're distributing flyers is extremely inefficient and a complete waste of effort."

I was somewhat surprised; I didn't expect her to take the initiative to think about work-related matters, and I immediately became interested.

"Oh? Then tell me, what constitutes high efficiency?"

Su Qing sat up straight and said seriously, "I just took a walk around the mall, and I realized that we don't need to focus on dealing with passersby. We can totally go and cooperate with high-traffic stores in the mall, such as restaurants, cinemas, and arcades."

After listening, I couldn't help but laugh and said truthfully, "I understand what you're saying. Collaborative lead generation is definitely more efficient than handing out flyers. But the problem is, we're just a small agency, with no funds or resources. Moreover, this kind of large-scale collaboration is something that headquarters should coordinate; we simply don't have the authority or ability to do it."

Su Qing disagreed, saying, "You can't expect headquarters to do everything! Although we are agents, we can also proactively expand our channels. We can negotiate with the stores, and just note the corresponding store information when placing orders. It's perfectly feasible."

I was slightly taken aback, and after thinking about it carefully, I realized that what she said was indeed correct.

Before I could speak, she added, "Although funding is a problem, we can try it at a low cost. We can proactively approach them to discuss cooperation, help them put up promotional posters for free, and prepare some small gifts to attract customers. If we are polite, most businesses won't refuse."

It's true that women are more meticulous than men.

Although Su Qing is usually arrogant and playful, and seems unreliable.

But growing up in a business family, he was exposed to it from a young age, and his vision and business mindset are far broader than those of an ordinary person like me who has struggled at the bottom.

Even if she can't compare to a top-tier businesswoman like her sister, she's more than capable of handling the operation of a small site like ours.

As I remained silent, Su Qing suddenly said, "If you find it troublesome, I'll take care of it. I don't want to be out in the scorching sun every day airing out flyers; I'm going to get tanned if this continues."

I felt both amused and moved.

She did have her own selfish motives—she was afraid of getting tanned and the hard work—but her starting point was genuinely for the benefit of the courier station.

Moreover, I witnessed her abilities firsthand that morning. With just her friendliness and good looks, she was able to hand out flyers faster than me. That's her advantage.

With such a great idea and resources, I have no reason to refuse.

I immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll leave this to you."

To my surprise, as soon as I agreed, the girl immediately changed her tune and looked at me with a grin:

"However, you'll have to allocate some start-up capital for me."

I was taken aback: "Didn't you just say it wouldn't cost any money?"

She rolled her eyes at me and said, "Buying small gifts doesn't cost money, does it? I have to pick them out myself and set up the posters by hand. I didn't even charge you for my labor. You should be happy about it."

I was instantly speechless, and after a two-second silence, I asked, "How much do you need?"

She tilted her head, thought seriously for a few seconds, and then extended a slender finger:

"One thousand yuan should be enough for initial purchases and groundwork."

If she can actually pull this off, the profits will be more than ten or a hundred times greater!

Without the slightest hesitation, I immediately transferred the money to her via WeChat.

Su Qing received the money and smiled happily: "Then I won't go out with you to hand out flyers this afternoon. I'll go buy small gifts and contact the merchants."

"Okay, you can arrange it yourself," I replied casually.

"Roger that! Yes, Boss Lin!"

She gave a salute in a serious manner, looking both playful and adorable.

I shook my head helplessly; this brat really had me completely under her thumb.

At lunchtime, I took everyone to our usual fast food restaurant for a 15-yuan meal.

Compared to her initial look of disgust when she first came, Su Qing was clearly much more comfortable today.

However, I still can't get used to the heavy oil and salt in fast food. I frown when I see greasy meat dishes and just quietly pick out vegetables to eat.

We, a group of grown men, finished eating quickly, and my cousin pulled me outside for a smoke.

Lighting a cigarette, the cousin turned to look at Su Qing in the restaurant and asked疑惑地:

"Yezi, is that girl really planning to work here? She looks so delicate and fair-skinned, can she really endure this kind of hardship?"

I was skeptical at first, but after what happened this morning, I've almost dismissed that idea.

I took a drag of my cigarette, glanced at Su Qing who was still eating in the restaurant, and said:

"Don't worry, she can handle it."

At this moment, Luo Peng, who was standing to the side, came over and teased me with a wink:

"Brother Lin, you're really something! Last time I saw you eating with some internet celebrity beauties at the food stall, and now you're helping out handing out flyers with a top-tier beauty. Honestly, are you a hidden super-rich second-generation heir, here to experience life at the grassroots level?"

I shook my head helplessly: "Don't make wild guesses, it's just a coincidence."

"I don't believe it!"

Luo Peng, with a mocking expression, continued to tease, "Who knows, one day you might suddenly pull out a Rolls-Royce key and slap us all in the face!"

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, creating a relaxed and lively atmosphere.

Luo Peng has always been a lively and cheerful person. When I used to work as a food delivery driver, he was always the one who loved to liven up the atmosphere.

We were chatting and joking when a clear voice suddenly came from behind us.

Su Qing came out at some point and looked at us curiously:

"What are you two laughing about so secretly? Tell me, and I'll share in your joy."
