"Brother Chu, have you been drinking this kind of fine wine since you were little? You are so lucky."
"Sigh, compared to these wines, our fruit wine is practically like water. This is the kind of wine a man should drink."
"And these chicken legs, they taste absolutely delicious, perfect for pairing with drinks."
"I think this peanut snack is also great with alcohol; the more you eat, the more delicious it becomes."
Faced with the various fine wines and delicacies brought by Chu Mo, the group was powerless to resist, and they ate and drank while expressing their admiration.
The excitement and novelty kept coming in waves.
Even Nangong Xiu, out of curiosity, drank a few glasses and then completely fell in love with red wine.
The group drank with great enthusiasm, except for the presence of the aloof genius, Nangong Xiu.
Stone and the others were clearly a bit reserved, and Nangong Xiu seemed to sense it as well. After finishing his drink, he calmly stood up.
"You all drink, I should go back now."
After saying that, he turned and left.
However, before leaving, several boxes of red wine and chicken legs appeared in his spatial ring.
As soon as Nangong Xiu left, the topic of conversation immediately changed. The young man named Erhu smiled jokingly and said:
"Brother Chu, it seems Xiuxiu has really taken a liking to you."
"Yes, Xiuxiu is kind-hearted, cold on the outside but warm on the inside, but she has always been a loner since she was a child."
"She rarely interacts with men, or even women, so it's really unexpected that she's willing to come drinking with you today."
The others were also amazed, their eyes darting back and forth between Chu Mo.
"It seems that what Xiuxiu said before was true."
"What did you say?" Chu Mo asked, a little curious.
"Only those among my peers whose talent and cultivation surpass mine are qualified to be my man, Nangong Xiu's man."
Erhu imitated the voice perfectly, which made everyone burst into laughter.
After laughing, Brother Stone nodded and said:
"These Chu brothers all fit the bill, so it's not surprising that Xiuxiu would say she likes you."
Chu Mo explained speechlessly:
"Between her and me, we're just ordinary acquaintances, nothing as complicated as you think. Don't spread rumors and make wild guesses."
"Hehe, Brother Chu, we're not just guessing randomly, we have evidence."
"That's right, Xiuxiu is the golden phoenix of our village. Apart from Brother Chu, we wouldn't accept anyone else being good enough for her."
"Brothers, let's drink, let's drink!" Chu Mo quickly interrupted everyone's teasing.
His current focus is on quickly earning spirit stones to cultivate and improve his cultivation level.
The opening of the Burial Abyss and the arrival of the Tribulation of the One Era are probably not too far off.
Without strength, you won't even know how you died, let alone protect your loved ones.
This time, they drank until very late.
...
Chu Mo stayed in Lingyin Village for a day before returning to Nanhua.
Foreign conglomerates have suspended their overt suppression of Kunlun Immortal Sect Company.
Since suspending operations wouldn't have helped, the upstream and downstream issues were resolved, and the company's products were unique, plus the strong support from the Dragon Kingdom.
In today's market, they have no competitors and can be described as being in a class of their own.
After listening to Zhong Qiang's summary report on the company's business, Chu Mo suddenly asked:
"Have those foreign pharmaceutical companies and the Zhang family made any moves recently?"
"There's been no movement, but Peter Caesar of the Meihui Group has sent lawyers to sue you, the boss, for assaulting him multiple times, but the police have refused to accept the cases due to insufficient evidence."
"The US ambassador to China also lodged a protest with the authorities, but it was refuted by our foreign minister in person."
"As for Zhang Wenyuan of the Zhang family, it is said that he has been in the United States recently, seemingly discussing some big project. It's very mysterious."
Zhong Qiang hesitated for a moment, then continued:
"However, there is one more thing. What do you think we should do?"
"What is it?" Chu Mo asked curiously.
"It's Zhang Liying, the spokesperson for Kunlun Wine. She's currently being ostracized and suppressed by most of the entertainment industry, making it very difficult for her to get on camera."
Chu Mo frowned and asked in surprise, "Being suppressed by the entertainment industry? Why?"
"I'm not entirely sure either. I only know that she was replaced in several roles at the last minute. There are rumors that it was because a powerful figure secretly intervened to blacklist her."
"Rumors have circulated about the termination of several of her advertising endorsements, and the brands have not come forward to deny them, so there's probably more to it than meets the eye."
After Zhong Qiang finished speaking, he looked at him hesitantly, then suggested:
"Boss, do you think we should consider changing the spokesperson?"
It's not that he's cold-blooded, but as a company manager, rationality is the top priority.
A celebrity who has been suppressed and is almost disappeared from the public eye has no value for product promotion.
Therefore, changing the spokesperson is very necessary.
In any case, the endorsement contract stipulates that if the product promotion is affected by the endorser's issues, the brand has the right to unilaterally terminate the contract.
Zhang Liying has been plagued by negative news recently, and now she has been put on a soft ban.
Kunlun Immortal Sect Company can completely terminate its contract with her.
Although doing so might seem like kicking someone when they're down, business is business, and cooperation is inherently a mutually beneficial thing.
If one party cannot bring benefits to the other party, or even creates obstacles, then terminating the contract is the most rational choice.
After hearing this, Chu Mo felt a nameless rage rise in his heart, which burned ever brighter.
Previously, when Zhang Liying was smeared by online trolls, he thought it was because she had offended a colleague, so he simply helped her find a public relations team to deal with it.
It seems now that this was targeted by a powerful financial figure.
Could it be her previous company?
If that's really the case, then that would be far too outrageous and arrogant!
