177: Chapter 178 Romantic Date
With the help of a Scalper, the two of them entered Disneyland safely.
This place was a fairytale paradise for every girl.
An Xin took Chu Xinxin and tried out all the attractions in the park with shorter lines.
Because they had gotten up late, the two hadn't eaten. After playing in the park for half an hour and satisfying their urge to have fun, they found a restaurant and ordered the Disneyland set meal there.
Along the way, Chu Xinxin's smile was very healing.
The two waited in the restaurant for half an hour, and finally, their lunch arrived.
An Xin ordered the Mickey Mouse collaboration burger and the StellaLou set meal.
The meal cost eight hundred and eighty directly.
An Xin wasn't short on money. When traveling, he was more than willing to pay for the sentiment.
The prerequisite for paying was that the service provider's attitude had to be up to par.
An Xin took the burger, his gaze landing on the cold bread bun, and he had absolutely no desire to take a bite.
It would be one thing if the bread was just cold; that would still be edible.
An Xin couldn't understand why the chicken patty was white.
This was clearly an undercooked chicken patty; even the breadcrumbs hadn't changed color.
"Your set meal has issues. The burger is cold, and the color of the chicken filling isn't right."
An Xin pointed at the burger.
"This is the newest burger; it's supposed to look like this. There's no problem."
The clerk at the front desk was stubborn and refused to exchange the food for An Xin.
An Xin's face darkened; this was the first time he had encountered such a stubborn clerk.
Since he was out with his girlfriend, An Xin didn't want to make things difficult for a working person.
He had given the front desk staff a chance, but he hadn't cherished it himself.
An Xin, with a dark expression, carried the tray back to his seat.
Chu Xinxin had been full of anticipation for the food at Disneyland.
When Chu Xinxin saw the food on An Xin's plate, she froze for a moment, unable to believe her eyes.
"Brother An Xin, we didn't walk into a fake store, did we? Is this stuff really meant for people to eat?"
"We didn't go to the wrong store; this is the food from this place. Don't eat it yet; wait for me a moment. I'm going to call the Food and Drug Administration to file a complaint."
An Xin called the complaint hotline directly. Less than three minutes after he finished the call, someone came up to An Xin and apologized.
"Hello, sir. I am the manager of this restaurant. I am very sorry for the poor experience we've given you. The person who served your meal just now was our temporary worker; we have already fired her and fined her. I hope you can give our little shop a chance to turn over a new leaf."
The manager was a sharp-witted middle-aged man; his gaze landed on the food with the wrong color.
He wanted to remove the food from the table.
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't seize it."
An Xin saw the man's intention and pulled the plate back.
"I will not give you the chance to destroy the evidence."
An Xin's cold voice made people feel hopeless.
Everyone is responsible for rectifying food safety.
An Xin didn't care about the 100,000 mission points issued by the system.
An Xin guarded the problematic food and waited in the restaurant for fifteen minutes before the colleagues from the Food Safety Bureau finally arrived.
An Xin submitted the food to the staff.
This Disneyland collaboration restaurant was sealed off by the Safety Bureau that very day.
An Xin received ten times the compensation.
An Xin took the money and the system points and left the restaurant in style.
He decisively ordered takeout and had the delivery rider bring the food to outside the fence.
The two waited for a while longer, and after all that hassle, they finally got to eat lunch.
An Xin, who hadn't eaten takeout in a long time, had his taste buds conquered by the meal.
"This takeout tastes pretty good; the spicy crab pot is very fresh."
"It's delicious, but it's a bit too spicy."
Chu Xinxin was so spicy that she kept drinking water.
An Xin opened a bottle of cola for Chu Xinxin, and the two toasted together.
After eating, the two walked around the park to digest and tried a few more attractions.
They stayed until dark, and An Xin took Chu Xinxin to buy tickets for the Ferris wheel to watch the fireworks together.
During this time, Chu Xinxin had worried quite a bit about An Xin's career.
An Xin had carefully prepared the little bit of romance that a date should have.
He had specially ordered roses and had the staff hide them in the cabin of the Ferris wheel number 52.
The two walked into the Ferris wheel cabin, and the fragrant scent of fresh flowers gave Chu Xinxin a pleasant surprise.
Looking at the Ferris wheel full of flowers, Chu Xinxin blushed.
"These flowers are so beautiful; is this a new service from Disneyland?"
"No, this is a surprise that the gentleman specially prepared for you," the Ferris wheel staff member replied politely.
Chu Xinxin's face turned bright red.
The two entered the Ferris wheel cabin, and Chu Xinxin, surrounded by fresh flowers, watched a unique fireworks show.
As fireworks bloomed in the sky, An Xin wrapped his arms around Chu Xinxin's waist, held her from behind, and kissed her gently on the cheek.
Like magic, he produced a pearl necklace.
"Thank you for everything you've done for me. This necklace is for you; from now on, you are the apple of my eye."
An Xin's sweet words made Chu Xinxin blush.
Chu Xinxin nodded shyly.
She whispered a "yes" in response.
The Ferris wheel reached its highest point at this moment, and the two had a sweet date at Disneyland.
The popularity and overall strength of Mingyue Pavilion were also quietly rising.
Li Yuanyuan had temporarily taken over Chu Xinxin's work and was working overtime like crazy at Mingyue Pavilion.
Mingyue Pavilion's clothing lines were now split into two: one for private customization and one for specialty sales.
The clothes for specialty sales were sold with non-exclusive copyright and were sold in limited quantities.
The prices for both types of clothing in the garment market were not low.
Fortunately, Mingyue Pavilion was living up to expectations.
The quality of the clothes was good, the brand's reputation was good, and its corporate social responsibility was strong.
They weren't just good to society; they were also incredibly good to their employees.
A brand with warmth was rare throughout the whole world.
The public was more than willing to pay for Mingyue Pavilion's high-quality goods.
Many foreign customers, because of An Xin's charity videos, learned about Mingyue Pavilion, rushed to purchase Mingyue Pavilion memberships, and scrambled to place orders.
Once they bought the clothes, they would post them online to show off at the first opportunity.
This made the momentum of Mingyue Pavilion, which was already constantly popular, get better and better.
The great momentum of Mingyue Pavilion brought huge pressure to Sakura Group; their financial reports were falling by one percentage point every day.
Yamamoto Kazuo's high position was no longer secure; if he couldn't resolve the financial crisis within a month, he risked being fired.
In order to maintain his comfortable life, Yamamoto Kazuo formed a special task force and locked himself in the marketing department every day for meetings.
The immense pressure caused this group of people to have devious thoughts.
"We can make high-quality knock-offs! It's not like we can't make clothes in the style of Mingyue Pavilion."
The employee's suggestion made Yamamoto Kazuo's eyes light up.
Making high-quality knock-offs could follow a route of small profits but quick turnover, using quantity and low prices to gradually make up for the losses in Sakura Country.
"If the high-quality knock-offs are discovered, will it affect our brand reputation? Have you thought about how to solve this problem?"
"Of course we have thought about it. We definitely cannot use Sakura Group's production lines to produce high-quality knock-off traditional han chinese clothing of Mingyue Pavilion. We can use a business model of contract factories and subsidiaries. We sell white-labeled knock-off clothes; if they aren't discovered, we can let Sakura Group piggyback on the subsidiary's traffic, and if they are discovered, we can abandon the subsidiary to save the main entity."
The young sales manager spoke eloquently, his abacus beads clattering loudly.
