January 28th.
On the day of the Lunar New Year.
After dinner.
Chen Jin's family of three put on winter coats and scarves around their necks. They were all dressed thickly and headed to the Wanda Shopping Mall not far from the neighborhood. They took the elevator to the cinema on the third floor of the mall.
He took out his phone, opened the QR code, and swiped it on the machine.
Four movie tickets were spat out from the ticket slot.
Two of them were given to his parents.
The last one was given to Su Yun, who was buying popcorn.
He was right.
Su Yun also came over.
At this moment, she was wearing a khaki-colored woolen coat, which was designed to show off the graceful curves of a woman. Inside, she was wearing a high-collared white knitted sweater, which wrapped around her slender neck. On the outside, she was wearing a checkered scarf, which accentuated her cold and aloof temperament. On her lower body, she was wearing black leggings which wrapped around her beautiful legs. On her feet, she was wearing women's round toe leather boots, which made her look quite delicate.
The girl in front of him was at least 90 points of beauty.
In particular, her temperament that was as cold as an iceberg could attract more than 80% of the people on the street.
But today, she had followed Chen Jin and his family to watch a movie.
This was also what Chen Jin was most puzzled about. He even asked her directly, "Su Yun, it's New Year's Eve. Aren't you going home to celebrate the New Year? You don't want to go home? "
"There are a lot of tasks at the tax bureau at the end of the year. It's the busiest time. I can only go home after the New Year."
Su Yun explained, but how could she not want to go home? No matter how busy the company was, the Spring Festival holiday would still be over. However, the director told her to stay for two more days. Firstly, the traffic was more convenient. Secondly, she could indeed do something and find one or two opportunities.
After saying that, the director's eyes were filled with hints.
"Alright."
Su Yun nodded lightly, her pretty face flushed red.
The director even asked him to stay in her guest room for two nights to learn more about accounting from her.
Spending the night at the director's house?
These words stunned her. Her heart raced and her face blushed all the way to the back of her ears. Even her snow-white neck was red.
For some reason, she actually nodded.
He kept muttering, "Study accounting, study accounting …"
Everything was for the sake of learning!
Besides studying, seeing him every day, eating with him every time, and watching a movie with him today … was just a way to relieve the pressure of studying.
I never gave it much thought.
In any case … it was all the director's idea. My parents also wanted me to have a good relationship with my boss.
Su Yun felt that her mind was becoming more and more chaotic. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and hide in it. As a woman, she had never been so flustered and lost before …
But she had never resisted the director's arrangement.
…
Chen Jin did not know about the complex fluctuations in a woman's heart, nor was he interested in finding out.
He entered the movie theater and found a seat.
Chen Jin was more concerned about the attendance rate in the cinema.
The viewers entered one after another.
Before the movie was about to start, he secretly calculated the number of seats in the theater.
"Except for the first two rows, all the other seats are basically full. The occupancy rate … should be above 85%."
At this moment, the music started playing and the movie started playing.
A few more noises came from the entrance of the tunnel.
"Hurry up, the movie has already started."
"There are too many people waiting at the elevator downstairs. I've already missed the main movie by more than ten seconds. If I'm a few minutes late, I'll have to ask the people beside me for a spoiler."
"Sit down, sit down. Hurry up and watch our movie."
The people who came in in twos and threes later actually filled up the empty seats in the first two rows.
The occupancy rate was at least above 95%.
Then, Chen Jin picked up his phone again. Through the obviously lagging internet connection, he asked a few friends on WeChat about the occupancy rate in the cinema.
"Yuan Li, you bought a ticket to enter the cinema. Is the occupancy rate okay? What's your estimate? "
"Shi Xiao Tao, are you in the cinema now? How's the occupancy rate at your cinema? "
"Zhang Nan, did you and Zhao Xin manage to buy the tickets? Have you entered the cinema? "
"Assistant Zheng, you should be watching the animated movie based on the company's products in the cinema, right? Is the occupancy rate at your cinema okay? "
After these messages were sent.
Not long after, they replied one after another.
"Director Dong's daughter" said, "I'm in the cinema. Gosh, there are really a lot of people. All the seats are basically occupied. I don't think I saw a single empty seat. The occupancy rate at my cinema should be 100%."
Shi Xiao Tao said, "Of course it's 100%. Actually, I've watched the movie more than a hundred times. I've memorized every line. What I'm looking at now is the people. I'm looking at the age composition of the audience. Hahaha, it's just as I expected. A family movie is watched by the whole family. Old people, children, parents. Most of the people who come in are families."
Zhang Nan replied, "Zhao Xin and I didn't enter the cinema. We were outside in the cold wind. I told him to buy the tickets earlier, but he didn't listen. He said that there were tickets even if he bought them at the last minute. Now he's speechless after being scolded by me. I bought the 8: 30 PM show. Let's take a stroll in the mall first."
Assistant Zheng replied, "I'm watching the movie now. All the seats are occupied. But I don't know what's going on. When I bought the tickets, I bought 'Wa-wah Robot: Brave and Intelligent Rescue.' But the ticket that was printed showed 'Dream Chaser.' I said that there's a problem. The staff said that there's a small problem with the equipment and that it won't affect the normal viewing."
Chen Jin saw Assistant Zheng's reply.
A phrase popped up in his mind: Stealing box office.
He asked Assistant Zheng to take a picture of the movie ticket with his phone and send it to him. He forwarded it to Shi Xiao Tao and informed her of the situation.
"Shameless thieves!"
Shi Xiao Tao gritted her teeth. She was incomparably furious. "Just now, many people reported a similar situation to me. They said that our box office is being stolen by cinema chains all over the country! Those unknown small cinema chains, mostly in third and fourth tier cities, are all trying to steal a piece of meat from our bowl. I wonder how much this will drag down our box office? I won't let them succeed so easily. I'll definitely call the police and sue them! I'll make them spit out everything they've eaten. "
Chen Jin said, "Calm down. For this matter, as long as the evidence is conclusive, the SARFT and the Cinema Alliance will take action. I heard that there are relevant legal punishments. They won't be able to steal much of the box office."
After comforting Shi Xiao Tao, bursts of laughter rang in his ears.
After the movie entered the main plot, there was a continuous stream of jokes. The Wa-wah robot in the movie was so adorable that all the audience was captivated.
The incomparably exquisite scenes made it difficult for the audience to tear their eyes away from the screen. They were deeply drawn into the movie.
As the plot progressed, the battle of wits and courage between the robot and the human traffickers made the audience burst out in laughter.
This "Wa-wah Robot: Brave and Intelligent Rescue" could be described as having no pee during the entire movie.
After an hour and a half.
The movie ended.
The audience stood up and left with some unsatisfied expressions.
Chen Jin heard the discussion of a family of three.
"Hubby, this movie is really not bad. It's very funny and touching."
"Yeah, it's the world's top quality scenes. Every frame can be said to be perfect. Just by looking at these scenes, it's worth our ticket price."
"Daddy, mommy, I want a Wa-wah robot. Buy me a Wa-wah robot!" the little girl said in a soft voice.
The man held the girl in his arms and said, "Baby, don't worry. Daddy has been rushing to buy one for the past few days. I'll definitely buy one for you!"
"Yay! That's great! Our family is going to have a Wa-wah too. Thank you daddy! "
