Chapter 406 Cold winter is coming

The year 2008 started with a cold winter.

Even in Guangdong Province, the temperature is much lower than in previous years.

Yan Xin had a deep impression of this cold winter in his previous life.

The first impression was about himself. At that time, he was still working as a security guard in Fengxiang City. At the end of the year, some security guards resigned and went home, and some security guards took leave to go home. The remaining employees could only work two shifts, 12 times a day.

Hour.

At that time, working the day shift was a little better, but working the night shift was just miserable. Wearing the company-issued military coat was of no use. When the wind blew outside, I was chilled to the bone, and it was useless to wear anything else.

At that time, I felt that going to work was too hard, and I thought about giving up and going home to farm. I couldn’t make money from farming, but no matter what, I could keep food and clothing, have free time, and don’t have to suffer.

The control of others.

Just think about that dilapidated house, think about the embarrassment of being penniless, and think about living with his father every day, how boring life must be?

So, in the end, I gave up the idea.

Later, heavy snow collapsed his family's house, injuring his father.

At that time, he couldn't even go home because the traffic was paralyzed.

His father was sent for medical treatment by someone from the government.

I didn’t go home until the Spring Festival.

That year he deeply understood what it meant to add insult to injury.

As a result, I have a special fear of cold for the rest of my life.

But I don’t have that big of a worry in this life.

Living conditions have become different. The place where he lives is equipped with air conditioning. When he feels cold, he just turns on the air conditioning and heating.

And he doesn't need to work the night shift, or even the day shift. He won't have to patrol back and forth while shivering in the cold wind like he did in his previous life.

His father is not that worried anymore.

The house we live in is a new one. It is very sturdy and will not be weighed down by snow.

What he is most worried about now is that in the ice and snow, his father will slip and fall when he goes out to work, and he may be injured.

But it will never be as dangerous as in the previous life.

He called home several times, saying that he should not go out to work when the weather was cold, especially when it was ice and snow.

He not only told his father, he also told his stepmother.

Being so far apart, he couldn't supervise his father, but Wu Xiuhong could.

If he made such a request, Wu Xiuhong would take it seriously.

He is still confident about this.

This confidence does not come from anything else, but from his family status - he is now the backbone of the family.

Not only will the two old people rely on him to support them in the future, but the youngest Bai Xiaoling will also rely on him for support in the future.

With such ability, you will have a status that matches your ability, and your words will be valued.

His words may not be of much use to his father, because he is his real father.

But in Wu Xiuhong's case, it will still be executed.

What he is most worried about now is not the snowstorm, but that two people who know about his relationship with Aili already know about his relationship with Feng Xi. Does this mean that his happy time of stepping on two boats will be over?

Passed?

Even if these two people will not tell Ellie, two people know it now, but what about the future?

More and more people will know.

If Ai Lili goes to the capital with him one day, or if Feng Xi comes to Yangcheng to find him one day, this matter will also be exposed.

In that situation, there is no way to hide it even if you want to.

Thinking about it still gives me a headache.

——Although he knew that this matter could not be kept hidden forever and would be exposed sooner or later, he was mentally prepared.

But when things come to a close, you still have to worry.

He knew the personalities of both women, and it was impossible to make such principled compromises in their relationships.

If the matter was revealed, he felt that his relationship with these two women would most likely come to an end.

The best outcome is that someone forgives him and chooses to move on.

It is impossible for both of them to forgive him and accept the other's existence.

The greater possibility is that neither of them will forgive him and will choose to leave him.

That's really not what he wanted.

How to deal with the incident after it happens and who to retain is really a big problem.

At least now he doesn't have an answer.

He also fears the day when the answer will come.

Just like everyone knows that people are going to die eventually, but when that day comes, they still can't help but be afraid.

No matter how much mental preparation you make, it doesn't mean much.

On January 3, after lunch at Ai Jing's place, Yan Xin drove back to Yangcheng with Ai Lili.

Life is still the same as before, but Yan Xin has more worries.

The weather is getting colder.

It's better in the north. The winter there is already cold, and the people living there are used to that kind of temperature. A lower temperature won't be a big problem.

But it's different in the south.

The weather in the south is relatively warmer, and people in some places have never seen snow in their lives.

The temperature is a few degrees lower than in previous years, and the feeling is completely different.

That was really unbearable.

It was an unprepared cold, and it caught people off guard.

It did not cause any trouble to Yan Xin in life.

However, as the cold wave becomes stronger and stronger, traffic in a large area of ​​the south has been paralyzed, and some places have even suffered large-scale power outages, which has affected online sales data.

There is not much of a problem in the north, but it is a huge problem in the south.

Jinxi E-commerce Company has opened several online stores and spent a lot of money on promotion, and its business is getting better and better.

But this time the cold wave came, traffic was paralyzed in a large area, which made it impossible to mail items in many places, and orders were not allowed in several provinces.

This will naturally affect sales performance.

Entering January, due to logistics problems, the sales data of Jinxi E-commerce Company dropped by more than ten percentage points compared with last month.

Logically speaking, shopping should be more popular at the end of the year.

If such a situation occurs, it is due to the influence of weather.

Gu Ru's first solo album was also sold online. It was already on pre-sale before it was produced.

Also because there is no way to guarantee that the goods will be shipped before the Spring Festival, some return orders have been triggered.

Fortunately, Yan Xin had known about this situation for a long time and had taken some measures. The record factory he chose was from Beijing, so most of the area was not affected.

January 25th is the day they scheduled to officially release the album.

The pre-sale data calculated on January 20th totaled more than 200,000 tickets.

Originally, they decided to issue 100,000 copies. They felt that this number should not have much risk, and the loss would not be much.

Jinxi E-commerce Company's Nishang Yuyi Store also sponsored this record, and the reward was that the record came with a dozen photos of Gu Ru wearing their Hanfu, and the name and website of the online store were also attached.

An advertisement.

With this sponsorship fee, as long as 20,000 or 30,000 of these 100,000 records can be sold, there will be no loss.

I didn’t expect that the pre-sale amount would be more than 200,000.

It was beyond their expectation.

Originally, only 100,000 records were prepared, and later an additional 200,000 were added, for a total of 300,000.

It’s just that there were some chargebacks later.

As of January 25, more than 200,000 copies had been pre-sold, and the total number was even nearly 10,000 less than before.
