At about 7 o'clock in the evening, Jian Wei and I made an appointment to meet in a coffee shop. After sitting down, we ordered some drinks.

Jian Wei looked very tired, took a sip of coffee, and said to me with a smile: "I have been waiting for you to come to me these days."

"Why are I so sure I'll come to you?"

Jian Wei shrugged and said, "Anyway, you are here."

I nodded, took a sip of coffee, and my mind was thinking about how to use to tell Jian Wei that I needed her help.

Before I could speak, Jian Wei said again: "If I guess correctly, your inn's marketing strategy has been made, but I have encountered difficulties in advertising."

"Yes... it is unrealistic for small inns like us to spend a lot of money on advertising, but they do require advertising."

Jian Wei nodded: "Your inn has many flaws, but the competition between Xitang inns is fierce. Almost every company is very distinctive. Without some unconventional means, it is almost impossible to stand out from it." After a moment of pause, she asked again: "Can you talk to me about your marketing strategy?"

I immediately told her about the "perfect travel" plan.

After listening to it, she pondered for a moment and said, "So, are the target consumers you are targeting tourists who are self-guided tours?"

"Yes, in fact, most of the people who go to Xitang are self-guided tours, but not many people who go to the group."

“Is there a specific numerical ratio for group tours and self-guided tours?”

I shook my head: "This cannot be counted, but the nature of the scenic spot in Xitang has determined that self-guided tours will be more fun."

"If it is really a self-guided tour, then the advertising is really easy to solve... I have an uncle who is the founder of the largest self-guided tour network in the country. If you give an advertising page on the homepage of the website and launch your perfect travel plan package, the effect will definitely be very good."

I stared at Jian Wei in a daze. Although she spoke very easily, I understood that the advertising space of that level website can be said to be valuable in every inch of land. Where the tofu blocks are large, you can't buy it without a 6-digit RMB.

I finally said to Jian Wei: "I am indeed very interested in this advertising space, but I don't have any extra funds to put in such an advertisement."

"I know you don't have funds, but isn't it here for you to find me?"

"Are you planning to help me advance money?"

Jian Wei shook her head: "From my understanding of you, you will not accept the advance payment method... So, I will arrange for you to meet with Uncle Yang Congrong (the founder of Easy Travel Network)."

I looked at Jian Wei with even more confusion and said, "Why should he meet me as a little person like me for an advertising space?"

Jian Wei smiled and said, "Because his Easy Travel Network has encountered a bottleneck in development, if you can give him some reasonable advice, I believe he will not be stingy with an advertising position."

"What do you mean is to ask me, an outsider, to give advice to an insider who has been in the industry for many years?"

My reaction made Jian Wei frown and said, "Isn't that possible? Why can't you be more confident?...Uncle Yang encountered a bottleneck in development because he has been in the industry for many years and his thinking has been limited. He now needs a suggestion that can break through conventional thinking. Isn't people outside the industry most likely to break conventional thinking?"

"There are too many people outside the industry, why do you want to find me?"

"Because you have an idea, you need this opportunity more than Uncle Yang... Zhaoyang, let's talk about whether it can succeed, but at least you have to try it. If you don't help, you will have accumulated connections for yourself, right?"

I finally nodded and said, "When will I arrange for Mr. Yang to meet me?"

Jian Wei thought for a while and replied, "He will come to Shanghai from Beijing next Saturday. We will meet that day. Tonight I will send you some information from Easy Travel Network. You can study it carefully. Can you?"

“No problem.”

Jian Wei emphasized again, saying, "This time, I took the initiative to explain my relationship with Uncle Yang Congrong, and I am only responsible for helping you recommend it. You should fight for the rest yourself. Don't be suspicious, I have helped you with something privately!"

I was silent for a long time before saying, "I know... I'm sorry for what happened last time. Although I'm not happy, I shouldn't return the money to you in that way."

Jian Wei shook her head and said, "Aren't you fascinated me like this straightforward personality... I think that if someone else wouldn't refuse the 500,000, and your rejection is the uniqueness. In my eyes, this uniqueness is a rare charm for a man!"

I smiled and said, "It can also be said that I have to live a life of face."

“Not important.”

I felt inexplicably painful. Indeed, for Jian Wei and I now, whether it is charm or face-saving, it is no longer important, because we have already tore up each other and then formed a relationship with another person in regeneration.

So, it is correct for me to position myself and Jian Wei as friends in the mall who can help each other.

Jian Wei looked out the window in a daze. At this time, the waiter finally brought the dinner we ordered. Jian Wei picked up the coffee cup at the same time. Her hands touched the waiter's hand on the plate, and the coffee spilled over her cuffs.

The waiter kept saying sorry, Jian Wei signaled that it was okay, it was her own problem, and waved her to leave.

The waiter bowed apologetically before leaving, and Jian Wei rolled up her sleeves and took off her watch.

I suddenly saw a scar on her wrist, and she had wiped the coffee on her watch with a tissue and put it back on her wrist.

I grabbed her wrist and moved the watch upwards. A scar that was one inch long was exposed to my eyes. I really read it right just now.

"Where did your wound come from?"

Jian Wei pulled her hand back vigorously, lowered her sleeves and said to me calmly: "I accidentally scratched it when I participated in the survival experience organized by the school in the United States."

"Are you sure?" I asked with a frown.

"Are you doubting something?"

"Why is the wrist the scratched area?"

"The classmate didn't hold the knife firmly, and it just fell on my wrist... Do you have any questions?"

I stared at Jian Wei, trying to find clues of lying in her expression, but she looked so calm that I imagined the accidentally falling knife she described in my mind.

I finally shook my head and signaled that there was no doubt.

Jian Wei picked up her handbag and said to me: "My company still has something to do, so I'll leave first. Remember to collect information about Yi Travel Network in your email address in your email address."

"You haven't eaten the pastry that I just served yet!"
