Chapter 39: Poetry

Hu Xiner was embarrassed. She never thought that such a young child was already a fanatical fan of Mu Qing.

Since they were all children, she didn't mind their rude behavior and just smiled and said, "Brother Mu doesn't like others getting close to him. You are all very sensible children. You will understand him, right?"

She also warmly invited them to join her for the feast.

Oh my god! I can actually eat delicious food?

Several little fans were stunned. Were they dreaming?

They all used their toes to pick at the torn straw sandals on their feet.

Hu Xiner led them to a secluded table, which was deliberately prepared with extra food to avoid any emergencies.

A few kids are "crazy" about chasing stars, but they are just kids from poor families. They just want to join in the fun and ignore everything else when they see delicious food.

Hu Xin'er "brainwashed" them: "After you go back, you must also promote Mu Lang Advertising Shop!"

The children responded in unison, calling her "Fairy Sister" one by one.

Hu Xin'er returned to the door and teased Mu Qing: "It seems that your charm is not as great as a chicken leg!"

Mu Qing smiled but said nothing.

Everyone had almost arrived. Hu Xin'er and Mu Qing stood together at the main seat and smiled to the crowd, "Dear guests, dear friends, hello! Mu Lang Advertising Shop will be grandly opening tomorrow. 10% off for all customers, and 30% off for regular customers. Thank you all for coming!"

Everyone didn't believe that Hu Xin'er was the owner of this advertising shop. Now they saw that she was the one giving the opening speech, while the handsome Mu Lang was just standing beside her with a smile, and they couldn't help but marvel at her.

Then I thought, such a god-like figure naturally cannot be tainted by the smell of money, so I felt relieved.

Then, Hu Xiner recounted the difficult journey of starting a business, which was full of artistic exaggeration, and even Mrs. Li was moved to tears.

It’s not easy for a young couple to start from scratch!

She made the ordinary speech full of ups and downs, comparable to storytelling. Just when it came to the emotional part, Hu Xiner changed her tone.

"Therefore, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Li Sangui, Ms. Li Yulan, and Mr. Erdong for extending a helping hand to me when I was in trouble!"

The audience erupted in warm applause, with some even moved to tears: "Boss Hu is truly a man of loyalty and righteousness!"

Mu Qing originally didn't understand why Hu Xin'er arranged a hostage among the guests, but now he was shocked by the warm atmosphere.

In this remote countryside, perhaps only when a troupe of opera actors comes can there be such a lively atmosphere.

In other words, Hu Xiner, with her rhythmic tone during her speech, is comparable to an entire troupe of actors!

Hu Xin'er winked at him and said, "Except for Tou, remember all those who are emotionally agitated."

Just one speech revealed the various attitudes of the businessmen. This banquet was worth it!

With the sound of firecrackers, the banquet officially began, and businessmen who were interested in cooperation came to toast the two.

Hu Xin'er asked apologetically, "I'm injured. Can I have tea instead of wine?"

The businessman, with his big belly sticking out, chuckled and said, "Of course. But is this shop, Boss Hu, called the Mulang Advertising Shop?"

Hu Xiner then realized that the name Mu Lang Advertising Shop was chosen casually when the shop was first opened in order to take advantage of Mu Qing's fame.

Now that this advertising company has the rouge shop and the cloth store as its living signs, there is no need to emphasize Mu Lang's name anymore. Since Mu Qing does not like to show off, they can recruit a few other "traffic stars" in the future and let Mu Qing retreat behind the scenes and count money.

You can even develop two-dimensional stars by creating popular characters in comics and novels and using their fame for advertising.

She smiled and said, "I've been so busy lately that I haven't picked a formal name for my shop yet. Why don't you all help me come up with a more impressive name?"

Those who think they have some talent or want to take the opportunity to make friends began to think.

"Why not call it Xiayi Advertising Shop!" someone suggested.

Someone immediately objected: "It sounds like selling weapons."

"The boss's surname is Hu. How about Xiao Hu Advertising Shop?"

"Like a pork seller."

Someone came up with a few ideas, but they were all rejected by others.

At this time, the old man in the calligraphy and painting shop said slowly: "This is a husband-and-wife shop. They should want the best for themselves."

"Yeah, Boss Hu," someone laughed. "Your slogan is so well written, and you even asked us to come up with a name. Aren't you just teasing us?"

Hu Xin'er began to search hard for memories of her past life: two orioles singing in the green willows, good brothers sharing a pot of wine for life, drinking xx herbal tea to avoid getting angry, the road ahead is long and arduous, gambling is worse than buying a chicken...

In the end, she was dismayed to find that her head was full of rhymes and doggerel, and she could only say embarrassedly: "I would like to, but my head is full of crooked ideas!"

Everyone laughed and discussed her magical slogans.

Many of them were the first half of the sentence that made the old scholar in the village so ashamed and angry that he wanted to hit his head against his head and die.

The second half of the sentence was criticized as nonsense.

The comedic effect created by this wonderful combination is the reason why the slogan has become popular throughout the village, but it would not be appropriate if used in formal occasions.

It's really humbling to have others talk about something you came up with.

Hu Xin'er squeezed Mu Qing's hand and said, "You tell me!"

Mu Qing declined, "I can't do it. You think about it."

"Mu Lang, come on!" The people in the audience only listened to Hu Xiner and started applauding enthusiastically.

In fact, no one expected Mu Lang, who was like a banished immortal, to have any talents.

With Hu Xiner's wonderful performance in front, Mu Qing, who was a man but did not stand up, was directly labeled as a fool and a gigolo.

"Then I'll show you my ugliness."

Mu Qing pondered for a long moment before saying, "My hand follows my heart's longing, and I write in the painting to wander in my sleep. It is far superior to the ancient traces in the mountains, and the lush bamboo forests remind me of the elegant past. The name of the shop can be taken from 'Mu Xin'."

He actually spoke in poetry!

Everyone was so shocked that they were speechless. No way! Mu Lang was so talented, why did he still have to be inferior to a woman?

Is he afraid of his wife?

The old man from the calligraphy and painting shop applauded slowly, "Excellent! What a wonderful poem! It captures the spirit of retreating to the countryside, quite in the style of Mr. Wu Liu, and the use of color and ink echoes the advertising shop."

The businessmen didn't understand, but that didn't stop them from being amazed by Mu Lang. One of the young couple could paint, and the other could write poetry, which made them all look like nouveau riche who only knew how to make money.

In this era, culture was valued more than commerce, and the common people had a deep respect for scholars, which further elevated the image of advertising shops.

"Mu Xin, Mu Xin." Someone muttered and felt something was wrong. Mu is the Mu of Mu Lang, and Xin is the Xin of Hu Xiner. This is clearly a confession of love!

He is indeed a cultured person. Even opening a husband-and-wife shop to show off their love is so showy that it makes people's scalp tingle.

Hu Xin'er looked at Mu Qing in surprise. This man was not only handsome, but also well-educated! She really found a great treasure!
