After a three-day investigation, Yan Laoshi was eventually arrested and sentenced to ten years in prison.
Qiu Mingyue did not get to return to the city as she wished; her application to return was rejected. This was a huge blow to her, and she had not left the female educated youth dormitory for three days, causing some concern among the people at the educated youth settlement.
Ye Beiping, along with Hou Baolin and Wu Di, had been working on preparations for the beer festival.
When everything was settled, Ye Beiping even had several vehicles from the factory go out every day to do publicity.
On the morning of the tenth day, when Ye Beiping's family was having breakfast, he said, "There's a beer festival in the county town tonight. Mom, sister, Xinyi, you should all go and have fun together."
"Beer Festival?"
The three of them were stunned for a moment, having no idea what a beer festival was.
Seeing that the three didn't understand, Ye Beiping explained, "It's an event, it'll be very lively. I've been helping Jiangshan Brewery organize this event for the past few days, it starts tonight, you can come and have some fun then. If you go in a few days, it might be too crowded, today is perfect."
Upon hearing this, Tao Qiuyan was the first to shake her head and refuse, saying, "No, it's too late to go to the county town, and it'll be troublesome to come back. Besides, your sister and I are registered as rural residents, so we can't go."
"mom......"
Ye Xiaoxin wanted to join in the fun, but her mother refused, which made her somewhat unhappy.
"It's alright." Ye Beiping interrupted Ye Xiaoxin with a smile and explained, "We've already applied to the county government, and anyone, regardless of their rural household registration, can attend the beer festival. The main purpose is to help some state-owned factories that are not doing well, boost consumption in the county, stimulate public spending, and increase tax revenue for the county."
This was actually negotiated by Yan Hua, the sales director of Jiangshan Brewery, who spoke with the county government.
It united more than a dozen state-owned factories of all sizes.
The county also hoped to save these state-owned factories, so it agreed to the activity and temporarily lifted the restrictions.
At the police station, Ye Beiping also obtained the approval of Director Chen Haisheng.
Su Xinyi pursed her lips and asked, "Are you coming back tonight?"
In the past few days, the two of them have unknowingly ended up sleeping in the same room.
Tao Qiuyan had secretly mentioned this to Ye Xiaoxin, and she was overjoyed. As long as they could sleep in the same room, it seemed that their relationship was stable.
Asking this question suddenly made Ye Beiping, Tao Qiuyan, and Ye Xiaoxin laugh.
Seeing the three people snickering, Su Xinyi's face instantly turned red, all the way to the back of her ears.
Perhaps it's because I feel insecure after getting pregnant.
But when she slept in the same bed with Ye Beiping, she would always unconsciously snuggle into his arms like a kitten.
Because sleeping like this makes me feel very safe, and it's also very comfortable.
"Come back, no matter how late it is." Ye Beiping answered firmly, and also instructed Tao Qiuyan, "Mom, I may be busy until very late. You, my sister, and Xinyi can go and help me look after Xinyi. I'm worried about Xinyi when there are many people around."
The warm words made Su Xinyi lower her head shyly.
However, I still felt warm inside.
Seeing this, Tao Qiuyan had no choice but to agree.
After finishing breakfast, Ye Beiping told the three people the exact time and then hurriedly left.
He went to the county town with Wu Di and Hou Baolin.
In the past few days, with the help of Jiangshan Brewery, these two protectors have obtained certificates that allow them to freely travel between the county town and the countryside.
The advertisements on the last day were mainly set up in the surrounding villages, with a loudspeaker and a car shuttling between various villages.
As evening approached, Ye Beiping was setting up the beer festival venue.
At this moment, Jin Ming, the factory director of Jiangshan Brewery, and Yan Hua, the sales director, walked up to Ye Beiping and asked, "Beiping, are you sure someone is coming today?"
After spending nearly ten days together, the two sides became quite familiar with each other.
Having put in so much effort, prepared so much, and overcome so many difficulties, Jin Ming and Yan Hua are now truly afraid that no one will come tonight.
Ye Beiping couldn't say for sure either, but he still comforted the two of them, saying, "We've done everything we could, and now we'll leave the rest to fate."
“Yes, let’s leave it to fate.” Jin Ming was a reasonable person.
Nothing is 100% certain, especially in sales. It's 70% effort and 30% luck. Now that they've put in the effort, it's all up to luck.
Throughout the county town where the beer festival was held, there was a ring of simple shops made of bamboo, with a Jiangshan Brewery sales point every ten or so shops.
In addition, there are other state-owned factory shops, which they pay a fee for every day, thus reducing the expenses of the beer festival.
Ye Beiping even arranged for several barbecue skewer shops and snack shops.
Since it's a beer festival, there should be snacks to go with the beer.
While the three were talking, someone walked into the event venue.
"Wow, this is huge! I never thought our county town could host an event like this."
"Who says otherwise? I heard it was a joint effort by several state-owned factories. Apparently, their businesses were struggling and they were trying to revive them."
"I heard they're giving away beer tonight, we can try it out."
...
Five or six young men walked in, talking and discussing amongst themselves.
These words reached the ears of Ye Beiping and his two companions. The three of them exchanged a glance and suddenly smiled.
Guests arrived before it even got dark.
Then, one group of people came in one after another.
