Don't get married if you're reborn.

Chapter 226: Abnormally Hot
The BRICS challenge spread like wildfire, from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

At the entrance of the Marleneia store, a huge crowd had gathered, with everyone scrambling to grab the gold bar, hoping to snatch the 25-kilogram giant gold brick.

Zeng Wenjie remained completely unfazed. His professional knowledge from his previous life was very solid, and the hole he designed was somewhat inhuman. Even if someone with superhuman strength were to lift it up, it would be extremely difficult to drag it out of the hole.

Human muscle endurance is limited. No matter how strong you are, you don't have enough muscle endurance to adjust the angle bit by bit and drag the gold brick out.

Huang Zixiang from Fengxiang Jewelry across the street was also alerted. He ran over to see what was happening and immediately cursed, "Too despicable!!!"

He never expected that Marlene would organize a gold brick challenge, with a 25-kilogram gold brick placed at the entrance for everyone to grab.

A businessman isn't a philanthropist; how could he possibly give away 25 kilograms of gold bars?

Even a ghost knows they can't produce it!

But a steady stream of passersby still participated, and many customers who happened to want to buy gold jewelry were also attracted into the store.

The herd mentality is terrifying. When people see the bustling crowds outside the Marleneia store, even those who want to shop at Huaguo Gold and Fengxiang Jewelry will unconsciously come over to take a look.

Zeng Wenjie's gold jewelry designs are at least ten years ahead of current gold jewelry designs!
What about the Imperial Concubine clasp gold bracelet, the fragmented gold bracelet, the Möbius strip bracelet, the twisted ring chain, the double-layer tassel butterfly chain... Which of these pieces of jewelry can't outshine the neighboring China Gold and the opposite Fengxiang Jewelry?
"Damn it, Italian designers don't study fashion, they spend all their time studying gold jewelry? This crossover into gold, has it been planned for a long time?"

Upon entering the store, Huang Zixiang was immediately dazzled by the "bling bling" of the gold jewelry displayed in front of the counter. The jewelry was so unique and unheard of that he had never seen before that it was full of creativity and trendy vibes!
Only 30% of the items in the entire Marleneja gold shop are currently mainstream styles; the rest are all designs from at least ten years in the future.

Huang Zixiang immediately realized that he was doomed!
Marleneia attracted a huge influx of customers with the BRICS Challenge, and the gold jewelry sold in the store is so novel and unique that it's bound to steal all the customers from the other two brand stores!

Li Hongqiu couldn't help but go into the store for a while, and after looking around, she was equally terribly silent.

When they looked into each other's eyes, they could both see the shock and helplessness in each other's eyes.

The scene inside the store was also very lively, with two sales assistants outside introducing the BRICS Challenge event and eight sales assistants inside working busily.

What terrified the two was that, despite such a large customer flow, the conversion rate was only around 10%! Keep in mind that many people didn't actually want to buy gold jewelry; they were simply drawn in by the gold brick challenge.

"Aunt Li, and Mr. Huang, would you like some water?" Zeng Wenjie walked up with a smile and asked.

"No need, we're going back to the shop." Li Hongqiu smiled awkwardly.

"Well, I just came to check in and offer some support to my fellow business owners! May your business prosper!" Huang Zixiang said, coughing.

Then, Li Hongqiu saw her store's VIP customer, Mrs. Wu!
Mrs. Wu said to a sales assistant, "Your Möbius strip series is so beautiful, one of each, please wrap them all up for me! And this gold-plated bracelet, please give me one too."

When Li Hongqiu saw Mrs. Wu shopping here, she was struck dumb, feeling as if her hair had turned green.

Mrs. Wu is one of Huaguo Gold's most loyal customers. She always comes to check out the new products, and if she thinks they're suitable, she'll definitely buy them.

But today, she appeared at the newly opened Marleneja Gold store and bought an entire collection, including a bracelet!
That bracelet weighs about forty grams, and the craftsmanship wasn't cheap either...

Marlene's trendy gold jewelry has a higher craftsmanship fee than the market price, while the current styles are about the same as the two major brands, or even a dollar or two cheaper. "Mrs. Wu, you're here?" Li Hongqiu couldn't help but walk up to her and greet her with a smile.

"Oh, Manager Li, you're here? Do you think this bracelet suits me?" Mrs. Wu showed off her gold bracelet, which was irregularly designed from every angle to reflect light from all directions, making it look very dazzling.

Li Hongqiu was already annoyed enough seeing Mrs. Wu buying gold jewelry here, but then she got asked this question, and she felt like crying!
Li Hongqiu could only force a smile and nod, saying, "Beautiful, beautiful! Mrs. Wu, would you like to come to our store for a visit? We just received some new products."

Mrs. Wu said, "Oh dear, I already went to see it before I came here, and it was so outdated, not youthful at all! I think the products here are much more trendy, youthful, and attractive!"

Li Hongqiu could only smile and say, "Then please take your time looking around. I'll go back to the shop first. You're welcome to come anytime."

Mrs. Wu alone contributed as much as 150,000 yuan to the store. She bought several series of gold jewelry that she thought were trendy and youthful, which was simply outrageously extravagant.

Zeng Wenjie finally understood why Li Hongqiu had been so eager to lick Mrs. Wu's boots that day, and he immediately followed suit and licked her boots as well.

"Mrs. Wu, congratulations on becoming our first diamond member at Marleneia store! We'll be holding a lucky draw, and as a diamond member, you'll have five chances to win! Please be sure to come and participate!" Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

"Diamond member?" Mrs. Wu asked, puzzled.

"Oh, customers who spend over 100,000 yuan at our store on the first day will automatically become our Diamond Members! They will be the first to enjoy all our benefits and discounts. Moreover, Diamond Membership is only valid for the opening day," Zeng Wenjie said.

He has a damn membership system...

Seeing that Mrs. Wu was too nouveau riche, he came up and made up some nonsense, using his smooth talk to make the rich woman very happy.

Zeng Wenjie wondered if he should enter Mrs. Wu's information in the backend so that she could win a small piece of gold jewelry when she entered the lottery. That way, she might bring her friends along to participate as well.

Most of the rich woman's friends are also rich women!

Mrs. Wu was very happy and even left Zeng Wenjie a business card, saying, "Little Zeng, if you have any new products, remember to tell me as soon as possible, and I'll come and take a look."

"Mrs. Wu, you're too kind. We will definitely serve you well. After all, you are our store's first Diamond Customer!"

"Oh, also, I took the liberty of requesting a pair of high heels from our Marlenia brand from headquarters. What's your size? I'll go get them for you, and you can pick them up at the store later."

Zeng Wenjie was so pleased with the rich woman that he left feeling completely at ease.

Hmm, this shouldn't be considered being a simp, right? After all, he's simping for a rich woman!

"Hiss... Did you come up with that gold brick challenge?"

Zeng Wenjie was standing at the door watching Mrs. Wu leave in her luxury car with satisfaction when he heard his advisor's voice.
