Pulling up the rolling shutter, Lin Chen didn't bother going upstairs to organize the bags in his hands but instead stacked them all behind the bar counter.
He picked up Lin Baobao and placed her on a chair, then took out a children's comic book and handed it to her, gently patting her cute little head as he instructed, "Daddy needs to work now. You read some comics by yourself for a while, okay?"
"Daddy, don't worry, Baobao is very good." Lin Baobao said seriously, very cute.
After settling Lin Baobao down, Lin Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, then loudly called out to the chaotic crowd in the lobby, "Please line up and buy your tickets in order."
Soon, the previously chaotic crowd spontaneously formed neat lines.
"Huh? Boss, when did the shop add a sofa?" This was a regular customer who had been here before. Upon entering the lobby, he immediately noticed the new sofa.
Lin Chen nodded and smiled, "It was just added last night."
"Can I sit for a while?" the regular customer asked.
"Of course, it's there for your rest."
The customer was at the end of the queue. Although the audience inside would be scared out in about ten minutes, there were so many people that he had to wait at least forty or fifty minutes for his turn.
Upon hearing Lin Chen's affirmative answer, several people at the back of the queue walked over to the sofa and sat down comfortably.
A system product must be high quality.
After sitting down, the first feeling was comfort—very comfortable. The sofa was especially soft; once seated, the whole body sank halfway in, as if soaking in a warm spring, leaving people feeling warm and cozy. Additionally, the sofa's backrest could automatically adjust to the person's height and weight, so no matter what posture they sat in, they would feel no discomfort whatsoever.
The second feeling was relaxation.
The sofa itself carried a faint fragrance, and smelling it, the previously restless mood gradually calmed down unconsciously.
Within less than a minute, the regular customer's eyes lit up as he said, "Damn, this sofa is so comfortable."
The other four people were also pleasantly surprised and praised, "No exaggeration, I've never sat on such a comfortable sofa."
"Damn, this is the real enjoyment. I feel like I'm soaking in a hot spring."
"Exactly, the aroma inside the sofa is super nice. After standing outside for over an hour, this feels completely worth it."
The sofa rewarded by the system was long, a standard seven-seater. Seeing two seats still empty, a man and a woman at the back of the queue couldn't help themselves and hurried over to sit down.
Within seconds, the man and woman both exclaimed, "Wow, this is really comfortable."
"Honestly, I want to take a nap here right now."
Those left behind were very curious seeing their enjoyment and wanted to experience it themselves. But unfortunately, there were no more seats left on the sofa.
The regular customer looked lazy and content and asked, "Boss, what brand is this sofa? I want to buy one too; it's really comfortable."
Lin Chen made up an excuse casually to brush it off, "You can't buy this on the market. I specially commissioned it."
"Commissioned? How much?" The customer persisted.
No choice, the sofa was too attractive to him. Due to his profession, he sat all day at work and had back problems. Usually at home, he rarely sat on sofas because even sitting briefly caused back pain. But now he felt a warm current flowing through his back, even better than a massage.
"150,000!"
Hearing Lin Chen's quoted price, the customer immediately fell silent.
Although he earned well, he hadn't indulged enough to spend 150,000 yuan on a custom sofa. He could only console himself with regret, "Though I can't buy it, coming here to experience it occasionally isn't bad!"
...
Time passed unknowingly, and the queues in the lobby entered and exited in batches.
The initial forty-some audience had all left, while new audiences poured in.
Two hours later, Lin Chen brought in another batch, only to find seven people still lying on the sofa. He said, "Hey everyone, it's been two hours, are you still watching the movie? It seems you came just to freeload on the sofa."
"What? Two hours?"
"Are you joking? I clearly felt like I only sat for ten minutes."
"Impossible, I just sat down a moment ago."
Ten minutes?
Lin Chen sighed helplessly, pointed at the empty lobby, then at the time on his phone, and said, "Check the time yourself."
Looking at the time on their phones, the seven on the sofa realized they had really been sitting for a full two hours.
Realizing this, they felt a little embarrassed. After all, the door was open for business; if they came in and didn't spend anything, it was one thing, but taking up the sofa for two hours doing nothing was hard to justify.
So, the seven stood up and went to the counter to buy tickets.
They filled out the Liability Waiver and took out money to pay voluntarily.
When it was the turn of the last regular customer, he didn't fill out the Liability Waiver but said, "Boss, give me a Coke!"
"Not buying a movie ticket?" Lin Chen asked in surprise.
He laughed awkwardly, "Heh, not watching today. I just want to sit a bit longer."
"Alright! Coke is 88 yuan a cup!"
The man didn't hesitate at all, immediately took out a hundred and handed it over, "Boss, here's the money!"
Soon, the man happily carried the Coke back to the sofa and sat down again. He actually didn't like drinking Coke; he only bought it to keep enjoying the magical sofa.
88 yuan, worth it!
Lin Chen stroked his chin, feeling that maybe he had underestimated the sofa last night. Although economically, the sofa might not be as profitable as a Screening Room seat, from a long-term perspective, the sofa's effect definitely surpassed that of the seats.
