In his previous life, Lin Yifeng was tricked by his first love into going abroad, missing the period of rapid development in his homeland.
He finally managed to amass a fortune of hundreds of...
Moral blackmail is a very useful skill.
It is especially suitable for people with high moral character.
Bai Yejin, who was being morally blackmailed by Lin Yifeng, could only glare at him angrily, wondering how she had unwittingly gotten on this pirate ship.
She clearly disagreed.
"Keep it for dinner. It's getting late. Eat your meal before going back to school."
"It's a good opportunity for you, our brand ambassador, to try Wallace's fried chicken burger."
It was already late afternoon when they returned to Muye City from Shanyang City. Lin Yifeng invited Bai Yejin to stay for dinner at Wallace, but Bai Yejin declined.
"Thank you, but I have something to do tonight and can't eat here."
Bai Yejin originally wanted to go back to Wallace to change back into her plain clothes, but after being morally blackmailed by Lin Yifeng, she inexplicably decided to wear her current outfit back to school.
She didn't know why either.
Perhaps it's because she, Bai Yejin, is the brand ambassador for Wallace.
As the spokesperson for a fast-food chain, she couldn't afford to lose face.
"Lin Yifeng, remember to go back to school and report back on your leave."
"I'm leaving now."
After giving Lin Yifeng some instructions, Bai Yejin dashed off towards Hebei Vocational University. Lin Yifeng watched her retreating figure, shaking his head with a smile.
This silly girl, he hasn't even shown her the contract yet, and she's already agreed?
...
Making Bai Yejin the spokesperson for Wallace is just one of the methods used to promote Wallace.
In an era before television was widespread, Lin Yifeng prepared three promotional methods.
First, there's the celebrity effect.
Lin Yifeng didn't know who the celebrities were at Hebei Vocational University, but he knew how to create a "celebrity" with the least amount of money.
In Lin Yifeng's mind, the spokesperson for Wallace is a "celebrity".
The second method is school broadcasting.
Wallace's current target audience is vocational school/university students, as well as some primary and junior high school students.
Lin Yifeng plans to use the school's broadcast system to promote Wallace to this group.
"As far as I remember, Tang Yuxia was in charge of the morning broadcast."
"Tsk, I hope Tang Yuxia's only thought is to make money to go to the United States."
Lin Yifeng had just entered the Wallace store and was about to check on the store's simple decorations when he suddenly heard a sputtering sound outside the door.
Xu Qingyi returned in her diesel tricycle.
"Boss, the flyers are printed, and I've brought them all back!"
Xu Qingyi walked into Wallace carrying a stack of flyers, and Lin Yifeng immediately looked in the direction of Hebei Vocational University.
You said it would be great if Bai Yejin stayed for dinner. After dinner, she could take a stack of flyers back to school to hand them out.
Now it's all right.
He also had to deliver a stack of flyers to Bai Yejin.
...
With just over two months until graduation season, the young men and women in their adolescence are getting restless. Lin Yifeng returns to campus from the shop and finds groups of men and women walking side by side, chatting and laughing.
He strolled to Bai Yejin's dormitory building and shouted out Li Yanfang's name.
"You're Xiaojin's boyfriend, right? What's going on with this boyfriend of yours? Don't you know Xiaojin works in the cafeteria every day?"
Is Bai Yejin working in the cafeteria?
Lin Yifeng was genuinely unaware of this. He smiled and thanked Li Yanfang, who then withdrew her head, muttering something that reached Lin Yifeng's ears:
"Xiao Jin's boyfriend is really unreliable. He not only spent all of Xiao Jin's money, but he also didn't even know that Xiao Jin was working in the cafeteria."
Has Bai Yejin run out of money?
oops!
Lin Yifeng suddenly slapped his forehead. No wonder he felt like he had forgotten something.
"I've been so busy with Wallace's business these past few days that I forgot I almost spent all of Bai Yejin's money on the day of the spring outing."
"Bai Yejin said she only had 41 cents left, and given her personality, she probably wasn't lying."
Several days have passed, and Bai Yejin...
Lin Yifeng quickened his pace and headed towards the cafeteria.
In 1992, the canteen at Hebei Vocational University was very dilapidated, but there were so many students that it was almost as if all the students in the school ate in the canteen.
Lin Yifeng was shocked by what he saw as soon as he stepped into the school cafeteria.
There was a long queue at one of the food serving windows in the cafeteria.
The long queue was almost entirely made up of men, and while Lin Yifeng was still in a daze, many others were already joining the queue.
"What's going on?"
Is the food at this window free?
People love to watch, and Lin Yifeng is no exception. With so many people queuing at the window, he can conveniently watch the show while handing out flyers.
Walking to the back of the long line, Lin Yifeng consciously stood at the very end, holding a flyer in his hand, and asked the boy in front of him.
"Hey, what's going on? So many people are lining up, is there free food?"
"What free food? Don't you know who gets their food at this window?"
Do I have to care who serves my food just to eat?
Seeing that Lin Yifeng really didn't know, the male student in front immediately transformed into a know-it-all and explained it to Lin Yifeng.
"This is the window of the steamed bun jade ring!"
"Let me tell you, today's steamed bun is absolutely gorgeous, stunning! I bet you, I've never seen anyone so beautiful before, she's practically an empress reincarnated!"
Steamed buns and jade rings?
Is the Empress still alive?
Could it be a white hibiscus?
Lin Yifeng had a vague suspicion that everything was calm at the Hebei Vocational College cafeteria yesterday, but today there were so many people queuing at the cafeteria windows.
Combined with Li Yanfang's words.
Lin Yifeng, who was originally preparing to hand out flyers, suddenly put his hands behind his back.
Since we've got nothing better to do, let's follow the trend and line up to see the steamed bun with the image of Yang Guifei, the Empress reborn!
...
It really is a white hibiscus.
Wearing clothes chosen by Lin Yifeng, Bai Yejin, whose beige suit was almost bursting at the seams, amazed the entire Hebei Vocational University.
Countless male students lined up in long queues, just to catch a glimpse of Bai Yejin's stunning beauty.
"Hey kid, two steamed buns, please!"
Lin Yifeng stood behind the students in line. When it was his turn, he smiled and asked Bai Yejin for two steamed buns.
"Okay, two steamed buns cost 20 cents. Do you have meal tickets?"
Bai Yejin quickly took out two large steamed buns, and when she saw that the person who came was Lin Yifeng, she was stunned for a moment.
"Excuse me, I don't have any money on me today. Could you buy me a meal?"
Lin Yifeng smiled with narrowed eyes, and Bai Yejin immediately rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. Just as she was about to take out her money, the boy in line behind Lin Yifeng suddenly spoke up:
"Hey kid, you don't even have two cents, what are you doing here?"
"You don't even have two cents, yet you want to chat with the Empress?"
"You're unbelievable!"
Hey!
White hibiscus is great, and it even has a protector!
Lin Yifeng found it amusing. He wasn't angry; he just smiled and teased Bai Yejin:
"Yu Huan, please treat me to two steamed buns."
Bai Yejin couldn't help but roll her eyes at the nickname "Steamed Bun Jade Ring".
She quickly pulled out two cents, not wanting to be teased by Lin Yifeng any longer: "Hey classmate, I'll pay for these two cents for you. Take your steamed bun and leave quickly, don't delay the students behind you from getting their food!"
