”Hee hee, what are you busy with?” Meng Jie pushed the door open, walked in, and sat down on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window, asking with a smile.

”Are the Q4 balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement all done?”

Chen Yansen sat down beside her, teasing with a smile.

”I still have the income statement left to do tomorrow. How about we go see a movie today?”

It was a rare holiday that Meng Jie didn’t go back to Chunshen, so naturally, she wanted to go out with Chen Yansen.

”*Flying Swords of Dragon Gate* or *The Flowers of War*?” Chen Yansen asked in return.

In 2012, the concept of a ”New Year’s Day box office slot” didn’t exist yet. Both of these movies had already been out for almost twenty days.

”I bought two tickets for a preview screening of *The Taking of Tiger Mountain*. Impressive, huh?” Meng Jie said, pulling out two movie tickets.

Online ticketing hadn’t taken off yet in those days. Meituan’s movie division wouldn’t even be established for another month.

But in this life, Meituan’s market share was still lower than Lashou’s and WoWo Group’s. It was anyone’s guess whether they’d have the spare capacity to launch a new business category.

”What time’s the showing?” Chen Yansen asked.

”2:40 PM. We can go for dinner right after,” Meng Jie replied.

Chen Yansen breathed a sigh of relief. He had two other movie tickets in his pocket for an 8:50 PM show—perfect timing to go to a hotel afterward.

His mind raced, trying to figure out how to juggle the two.

After lunch, Chen Yansen drove Meng Jie downtown. They went shopping first, then to the movies, followed by dinner.

After he dropped Meng Jie off at her dorm, he went to pick up Song Yuncheng and headed back to the movie theater.

Chen Yansen ended up watching *The Taking of Tiger Mountain* twice in one day.

”You’ve worked so hard, President Chen,” Song Yuncheng teased in a low voice.

”Why does that sound like you’re mocking me?” Chen Yansen retorted, raising an eyebrow.

”You heard me right.” Song Yuncheng snorted, picked up a piece of popcorn, and stuffed it into Chen Yansen’s mouth.

’Scumbag. He’s the one doing it, but he won’t even let anyone say anything about it!’

”Are you sure you want to talk to your boss in that tone?” Chen Yansen threatened.

”Stop fooling around. Let’s watch the movie,” Song Yuncheng said with a cute pout, grabbing his mischievous hand.

’What’s so great about this stupid movie, anyway?’ Chen Yansen thought. But seeing how engrossed Song Yuncheng was, he didn’t want to bother her.

He then took out his phone and checked the messages in the project group chat.

Right then, the main Kuai Pao project group was buzzing with activity.

”New customer growth: 26,000. Real-time orders: 10,008. Sales volume: 180,400!”

The data was being synced in the main group chat every ten minutes.

”Pei Yi: Let’s go, everyone! Let’s try to break 200,000 in sales today!”

”Kang Guodong: The admin department has ordered a late-night snack for everyone. It’ll be here soon!”

”Kou Zhen: Great work from the guys in the delivery department! I got President Kang and President Pei to approve a special bonus. Everyone gets a share!”

In the early winter of 2012, on New Year’s Night, Kuai Pao was still pushing forward with all its might.

Fortunately, although the weather in Luzhou had turned cold, it hadn’t snowed. Otherwise, the effectiveness of the marketing campaign would have been severely diminished.

By the time Chen Yansen and Song Yuncheng walked into their hotel room, Kuai Pao’s total orders for the day had surpassed 13,000.

More than 90 full-time riders and over 80 part-time delivery drivers were busy until 1:30 in the morning before they finally logged off to rest.

After this marketing campaign, Kuai Pao’s fame exploded in Luzhou. The commercial centers in the city and the University City in the suburbs slowly began to accept this new business model of food delivery.

Before long, the search term ”treating the whole city to milk tea” shot up the trending charts.

Although Eleme had been founded earlier, Kuai Pao managed to capture the public’s attention first.
