If I need anything, I'll call you immediately. Can you come to me immediately?
The next morning, Mu Chen and Jiang Hailang also accompanied Song Yunxi and Lin Xiaoran to the tea industry exchange meeting.
At the booth of a Guizhou tea distributor, they were invited to sample Guiding Yunwu Tea and Duyun Maojian Tea. Both teas were of good quality; based on Song Yunxi's knowledge of tea, both were considered top-grade green teas.
Even the other three people who didn't know anything about tea could tell that the tea leaves were intact, bright green, and the tea soup was clear.
Lin Xiaoran held up the clear glass, looking at the bright green tea liquor and the tiny tea leaves floating in the water. "This tea is quite delicious. Why haven't I heard of it before?"
Song Yunxi said, "Because they don't know how to tell stories. Think about it, even people who don't drink tea or know anything about tea, don't they all know about Longjing, Biluochun, and Tieguanyin teas?"
Lin Xiaoran nodded in agreement, because although she didn't know much about tea, she had heard of these teas before.
"That's because these famous teas have many stories behind them and have hired very influential spokespeople. For example, Longjing tea became famous after Emperor Qianlong designated the eighteen tea trees in front of Hugong Temple as 'Imperial Tea' during his tour of Hangzhou. Biluochun tea was named after Emperor Kangxi, who, during his southern tour to Taihu Lake, drank a tea called 'Scary Fragrance' and praised it so highly that he bestowed the name Biluochun upon it. Tieguanyin is even more impressive. It is said that the tea grower received a tea tree from Guanyin in a dream, which led him to it, hence the name Tieguanyin. Look at their marketing ability; their spokespeople are either emperors or Guanyin."
After Song Yunxi finished speaking, she glanced at Mu Chen, who was looking at her. She reached out and patted the back of his hand, smiling reassuringly, "Of course, my spokesperson isn't bad either."
Then she got back to the main point. "There are only a few well-known good teas, but that doesn't mean other teas are bad. They just haven't been hyped up as much. For example, Duyun Maojian is one of China's top ten famous teas, and Guiding Yunwu Tea was once a tribute tea for hundreds of years, but neither of them has the brand recognition that everyone knows. This shows how important brand promotion and public relations are."
So she always takes action whenever she has the chance, whether it's riding the wave of popularity or buying traffic, she'll try anything that can achieve the desired promotional effect.
If things really don't go well, black and red are still red, aren't they?
The shopkeeper sat with them at a round table, smiling and praising, "Young lady, you're an expert!"
"I wouldn't call myself an expert, I just know a bit because I've seen a lot of things before."
Song Yunxi took another sip of tea. "Boss, could you please take some information about these teas back with us? We'll study them further."
"No problem," the boss agreed, heading to get the documents and business cards. "We have our own tea plantation; you're welcome to visit if you're interested."
Song Yunxi smiled and agreed, "Okay."
If you have the opportunity, you should definitely look into a few good tea gardens. As the brand grows, you'll need some good teas that you can cooperate with in the long term. Joint development is an option, or you could buy a tea garden.
Song Yunxi chuckled to herself. Miss Chi hadn't even started her afternoon tea routine yet, and she was already thinking about buying a tea plantation.
She turned her head casually to look ahead, and when she saw a certain figure, her smile vanished, and she froze in place as if frozen in place.
Mu Chen noticed that Song Yunxi was acting strangely. He followed her gaze and saw a man not far away looking at her. Then he walked over.
"I'm going to the restroom." Song Yunxi stood up and quickly walked through the crowd towards the outside.
"Go check out other places first, we'll contact you by phone later." After saying that, Mu Chen left the booth and followed in Song Yunxi's direction.
Mu Chen waited for a long time at the bathroom door before Song Yunxi finally came out.
She wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her head on his shoulder. "I'm not feeling well, let's go back."
"Okay. Let's go back to the hotel."
Song Yunxi's low voice was tinged with a hint of coquetry: "Back to Lancheng."
Mu Chen called Jiang Hailang and told them to arrange their own itinerary. Then he and Song Yunxi went back to the hotel to pick up their luggage and headed straight to the airport to take the next available flight back to Lancheng.
Throughout the journey, Song Yunxi remained silent, quietly resting her head on Mu Chen's shoulder. Once on the plane, she said she was sleepy and wanted to sleep for a while, then closed her eyes until the plane landed.
Back at the Platinum Hotel, Song Yunxi still said she was very sleepy and wanted to sleep a little longer.
Mu Chen kissed Song Yunxi on the forehead and escorted her back to her bedroom.
"Go to sleep. I'll stay outside with you."

After attending the morning exchange meeting in Hangzhou, Lin Xiaoran and Jiang Hailang had lunch before leisurely taking an afternoon flight back. They arrived in Lancheng in the evening.
"Where do you want to eat?" Jiang Hailang asked casually, as if Lin Xiaoran was supposed to eat with him all along.
"I can't have dinner with you today, I have to go home." After saying that, Lin Xiaoran dragged her luggage and left.
Jiang Hailang grabbed Lin Xiaoran, his tone still carrying a hint of coaxing a child. "I'll take you home after we finish eating."
"No way, it's my birthday today. My family rules say that I have to go home and have dinner with my parents on my birthday. Otherwise, I won't have any birthdays in the future. Besides, my childhood friends are all waiting for me at my house, and I can't leave them behind."
Jiang Hailang seemed to take a while to react to those words, and repeated uncertainly, "Your birthday?"
"Um."
After a long silence, just as Lin Xiaoran saw that Jiang Hailang was not speaking and was about to leave with her luggage, Jiang Hailang reached out and grabbed her again.
"Bobo, can I come to your house and celebrate your birthday with you?"
"No, that won't do. My parents didn't prepare a meal for you. Besides, we'd feel uncomfortable if you came to our house."
"Why are you uncomfortable? Didn't you invite other friends over? I don't eat much either. If it's really necessary, I'll bring my own food."
“The friends I invited are all childhood friends. They celebrate my birthday at my house every year and are very close to my parents. You are different. You are a company leader. When you come to my house, it's like a home visit, and we don't have a good time together.”
Jiang Hailang hugged Lin Xiaoran and said pitifully, "Bobo, take me with you? My girlfriend is away on a business trip, and I'm eating alone. It's really pathetic."
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Xiaoran actually felt that he was somewhat pitiful.
She reached out and patted him on the back. "Okay then."
Jiang Hailang immediately smiled. "Then come home with me to change my clothes first."
"No need, right? My birthday party isn't that formal, I don't need to change clothes."
"We need to change." Jiang Hailang pulled Lin Xiaoran to get the car, and then hummed a song all the way home.
When Jiang Hailang came out of the dressing room after changing his clothes, Lin Xiaoran, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa playing games, was almost speechless with astonishment.
They were all dressed casually in T-shirts and jeans when they went to Hangzhou. Even if he felt tired from the journey and his clothes were wrinkled and needed changing, did he really need to wear such a sharp suit? Even his tie was neatly tied.
Lin Xiaoran had never seen Jiang Hailang dressed so formally when she worked at the company.
Jiang Hailang asked with a smile, "Do you think I'm too handsome?"
Lin Xiaoran nodded. "Yes." She was indeed shocked by him for a moment.
"Do you want to love me?"
Lin Xiaoran quickly shook her head. "No, no."
Jiang Hailang reached out and patted Lin Xiaoran on the head. "Did you call your mother to tell her you'd be home late?"
Because he needed to accompany her home to change clothes, and worried that her family would be waiting, Jiang Hailang tossed his phone to Lin Xiaoran as soon as he entered the door, asking her to call home to let them know. When he came out, she was already playing games on his phone.
Lin Xiaoran said, "I don't have my mother's phone number anymore, so I can't make a call."
In modern times, who remembers their phone number? Everyone saves it in their phone. So, if you lose your phone, you lose all your means of contacting people worldwide.
Jiang Hailang, sitting on the single sofa at the other end, called to her, "Come here and recite my phone number."
Why would I need to know your phone number?
As Jiang Hailang wrote his number on the sticker, he said, "From now on, whether you have a cell phone or not, you must know my number and call me immediately if you need anything."
Lin Xiaoran kept her head down, playing her game, and casually asked him without looking up, "If I need anything, I'll call you immediately. Can you come to me immediately?"
"I can."
After Jiang Hailang finished speaking, he tore off the sticker with the number written on it and stuck it on the back of Lin Xiaoran's hand. Then he took his own phone back from her and exited the game.
On the way home with Lin Xiaoran, Jiang Hailang made a special detour to the mall to buy Lin Xiaoran a new mobile phone and a large bouquet of bright red roses.
He said, "A birthday present."
"You're too kind, giving me a double birthday present."
"Time was too tight, otherwise there might have been more than just pairs."
Lin Xiaoran lives in the staff quarters of the Foreign Languages University. Although it is an old community, the management and landscaping are very good, and you can't tell that it is old at all.
Lin Xiaoran explained to Jiang Hailang, "My parents are both teachers at a foreign language university."
As Jiang Hailang rode the elevator upstairs and watched the numbers inside change one by one, he suddenly felt a little nervous.
He's a smooth talker, adept at navigating social situations. Having worked in sales for so many years, he can handle all kinds of people. Now, he's just here as a friend to celebrate Lin Xiaoran's birthday and have a meal with her, and yet his palms are sweating a little.
Lin Xiaoran's mother opened the door and immediately scolded her: "Why was your phone always off when I called you? You didn't even say you were coming home late. Everyone was waiting for you."
Lin Xiaoran said with a mischievous grin, "I went to Hangzhou on a business trip, so I left my phone at West Lake as a souvenir."
Lin's mother opened the door wider and then saw Jiang Hailang standing behind Lin Xiaoran.
Jiang Hailang greeted her with a smile, "Hello, Auntie."
"Hello." After saying that, Lin's mother gestured for Lin Xiaoran to introduce herself.
Lin Xiaoran said, "He's my friend. His girlfriend isn't home today, so I brought him along for dinner. It's more fun with more people, right?"
Jiang Hailang quickly replied, "Auntie, Xiaoran is just joking with you. I don't have a girlfriend."
Lin's mother paused for a moment, then smiled, as if she understood what he meant.
She stepped aside. "Please come in."
Jiang Hailang handed over the things he was carrying, saying, "I didn't know what Uncle and Auntie liked, so I just bought some random things. Please don't mind."
Lin Xiaoran tilted her head and looked at Jiang Hailang's hand. He had been pushing her suitcase upstairs, and she hadn't noticed what he was holding. Where did all these gifts come from? It's amazing.
"Isn't this Xiaoran's boss?" Li He thought for a moment, "Is this President Lang?" He then came over to greet him as if they were old acquaintances.
Look at that suit he's wearing! It's like he's meeting a national leader. It's a hundred times better than the suits he usually wears to work at nightclubs.
Jiang Hailang greeted him with a smile, "Li He."
Haha, you have a great memory.
Once you know someone, you can quickly integrate into the group. Lin Xiaoran didn't even need to lift a finger; Li He naturally introduced Jiang Hailang to Lin Xiaoran's childhood friends.
Lin Xiaoran went back to her room to change her clothes, then went straight to the kitchen to see when the food would be ready to eat. She reached out and grabbed a piece of sausage, putting it in her mouth, when her mother slapped her hand for being so unruly.
Lin's mother asked, "What's going on with that 'wild' guy? His boyfriend?"
"What are you thinking? He's just a friend. I have a boyfriend, it's not him." Lin Xiaoran said, picking up the dishes and setting them on the table.
