Pretty and charming, dressed in the 90s, she's good at everything from making money to causing

Lin Ting recalled that when the subscription certificates were first issued, no one was interested in them, and many people even thought it was a scam.

She expected the certificate sales area to be deserted, but she never expected that there wouldn't be a single buyer there.

Lin Ting looked at the sign by the bank entrance that read "Purchase stock subscription certificates here," and then at the empty counter with only a girl with a worried face. For a moment, she wondered if she had gone to the wrong place.

Since she was already there, she decided to ask, "Excuse me, are the subscription certificates sold here?"

The girl behind the counter suddenly looked up, gazing at Lin Ting as if she were a savior: "For sale! Do you want it?"

Her enthusiasm was excessive, and Lin unconsciously became more wary: "What I want to buy are stock subscription certificates."

The girl nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I'm also selling stock subscription certificates."

They went back and forth several times, like checking an incision, until they finally confirmed that what she was selling was exactly what she wanted to buy.

Lin Ting glanced around and said casually, "Looks like not many people are buying."

The girl sighed deeply when the topic came up.

She seemed to want to say something, but swallowed the words back.

She was afraid that revealing the truth would scare away the only potential buyer of the day.

As a bank employee, she has sales targets.

Several days ago, she had visited all her relatives and friends with great effort, but when they heard that it cost thirty yuan a ticket and there was no guarantee of winning, they immediately lost interest.

Those with good tempers will tell her they're not well-off and suggest she find someone else; those with bad tempers will simply kick her out of the house.

What does thirty yuan mean?

Nowadays, most people only earn two or three hundred yuan a month. Spending thirty yuan to buy a subscription certificate that may not even win the lottery is similar to buying a welfare lottery ticket—it's just throwing money away for fun.

She gritted her teeth and bought twenty tickets herself, then borrowed money from her parents to buy thirty more, barely managing to meet the leader's encouragement and setting a "leading example."

Now, she looks at the only customer she's had in two hours, feeling both expectant and nervous.

Needless to say, she was excited, but what made her nervous was that the young girl in front of her was dressed plainly and looked quite young, so she must not have much money.

However, even a small mosquito is still meat; every mosquito sold is a piece of meat.

She asked, "How many do you want to buy?"

What Lin heard was, "I don't have a Shanghai ID card, can you sell it to me?"

The girl drawled out an "Oh," and said, "That depends on how much you buy."

Lin Ting: "Twelve, sets."

"..."

"...!"

The girl instinctively rubbed her ears, unable to believe what she had just heard.

what did she say?

Twelve sets?

One thousand two hundred?

Thirty-six thousand yuan?

Ha, she must be hallucinating because she's too eager to sell the subscription certificates.

"Do you want twelve?" the girl asked. "Sure, we sell blank sheets now."

A blank card is an anonymous subscription certificate; it can be purchased without a Shanghai ID card.

This is actually another form of promotion—opening a door of convenience for business owners who come to Shanghai to do business.

Lin Ting breathed a sigh of relief, unzipped his backpack, and took out four stacks of money, three thick and one thin: "I need 1,200 whiteboards."

The teller's pupils contracted as she looked at the money.

Seeing her shocked expression, Lin Ting couldn't help but smile slightly.

I installed it, it feels pretty good.

However, the person in front of him was in shock for a while, and Lin Ting didn't want to attract too much attention, so he whispered a reminder: "If you don't take the money soon, when your manager comes, this sales performance may not be yours anymore."

The girl seemed to wake from a dream and immediately took the money to check it.

She counted the money extremely quickly, and Lin Ting even considerately shielded her from other people's view.

Five minutes later, the girl pushed twelve neatly bundled purchase certificates in front of Lin Ting, her voice trembling with excitement: "Please count them."

These are all unopened complete sets of subscription certificates, so there's really no difficulty in counting them.

Lin Ting glanced at it, confirmed that there were twelve sets, then unzipped his backpack and stuffed them in like he was buying a lot of goods.

The girl stood up and handed her a business card with both hands: "Hello, my name is Li Xi. If you need anything in the future, you can call my pager."

"Thank you, my name is Lin Ting." Lin Ting took the business card and put it into her bag.

Li Xi looked at her bulging bag and unconsciously swallowed.

What exactly does this girl's family do to dare to spend 36,000 yuan to buy a subscription certificate?

Lin Ting packed the last set of purchase certificates and was about to zip it up when he suddenly heard a slightly familiar voice.

"...Um, I've come to withdraw some money."

She subconsciously turned her head and saw Mr. Jiang walking in accompanied by the bank manager.

Jiang's father also saw Lin Ting.

There are only a few people in the bank, it would be strange if he couldn't see them.

He walked over with a smile: "Lin Ting, are you here to withdraw money too?"

"Good morning, Uncle Jiang." Lin Ting smiled, zipped up her jacket, and said casually, "I'm here to buy some things."

Mr. Jiang glanced at the counter behind her, somewhat surprised: "You know about stocks?"

"Hmm, I don't quite understand." Lin Ting shook her head with a smile.

Mr. Jiang glanced at her slightly heavy backpack, his eyes darkening slightly.

"Uncle Jiang, I've finished my business. You're busy, so I'll take my leave now." Lin Ting slung her schoolbag over her shoulder and said goodbye to Mr. Jiang.

"Hmm..." Mr. Jiang responded first, then called out to her again, "Lin, do you think it's feasible to issue subscription certificates?"

Lin Ting stopped and turned to look at him, saying, "I think it's okay."

Mr. Jiang nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, let me think about it."

"Goodbye, Uncle."

"Goodbye."

Mr. Jiang watched Lin Ting leave, then turned to Li Xi and asked, "Did she buy a lot?"

"Mmm, mmm!" Li Xi nodded nervously, rubbing the hem of her clothes.

Mr. Jiang was a major client of the bank, and in the past, only the manager could entertain him. Li Xi had met him many times, but this was the first time they had spoken directly.

Seeing that Mr. Jiang seemed interested, the manager quickly began to promote the certificate, listing its benefits as if it were his own treasure.

Mr. Jiang had heard these words many times before. He waved his hand to interrupt the manager and said calmly, "Then let's buy some to play with."

"Give me ten thousand copies."

Of course, Mr. Jiang did not decide to buy the subscription certificate because of Lin Ting.

In fact, after the news of the subscription certificates came out, his managers had calculated the returns of the subscription certificates in detail.

He originally planned to buy a thousand or eight hundred tickets.

But after seeing Lin Ting's backpack, he felt he should buy more insurance.

After all, the more of this product is sold, the lower the odds of winning a lottery.

Lin heard that even a little girl had bought a whole backpack; if he didn't buy more, he'd probably lose money.

Selling 11,200 subscription certificates within half an hour relieved all the bank employees of any concerns about the future sales prospects.

But soon, they stopped laughing.

Because they only sold 11,203 tickets that day.

Lin Ting was naturally unaware of what had happened after she left. She checked out of the Ruigong Hotel and took the train back to Shenyang that afternoon.

She had no idea that Li Xi had intended to use her story to promote the company and encourage people to buy more subscription certificates. However, things didn't go as planned, and she, the big spender who bought 12 subscription certificates, became the number one fool that many people talked about.
