Chapter 51 Good!
Qu Zhengming, who had just come downstairs, rushed into the office area and happened to run into Ye Baoling returning from the restroom.
"Pauline, come to my office."
Once inside the director's office, Qu Zhengming quickly recounted what had happened that day.
"The higher-ups are now saying that you will be fully responsible for promoting jasmine herbal tea. Do you accept?"
Ye Baoling countered, "In what capacity am I doing this job?"
"Jasmine Flower Herbal Tea Promotion Project Manager"
Where is Wan Xiwen?
Qu Zhengming smiled helplessly, "She is the project manager for the research and development and promotion of jasmine herbal tea."
Ye Baoling understood. Although they were both project managers, Wan Xiwen was responsible for a wider range of areas.
Clearly, the research and improvement of jasmine flowers has been successful, and Wan Xiwen already has achievements to show for it. Whether or not the promotion is successful, it will not affect her promotion.
Ye Baoling was merely the project manager for promotion. If the promotion failed, she would bear full responsibility, and all her previous contributions to the improvement of jasmine flowers would be erased.
Old ginger is spicier.
Shen Wanjie is too good at scheming.
Qu Zhengming said, "The initiative is in your hands now. You can take it or not. If you don't take it, then I'll dump all the promotion-related work on you and I won't care anymore. Anyway, no matter what we do later, there will be internal strife."
Next is a hot potato.
If you don't accept, it means you've surrendered and admitted defeat.
Ye Baoling gritted her teeth slightly: "Answer."
Qu Zhengming smiled and patted her arm: "Okay. If we accept, then we'll do our best. What resources do you need? I'll help you coordinate them."
Who are the members of this project team?
She can't be alone.
"Who do you want? Just tell me."
Ye Baoling immediately took out paper and pen and wrote down a list.
She wants Gao Lizhen, He Jiayi, and Wang Bingchang for the product department. She and Gao Lizhen already have a good working relationship. He Jiayi is quick-witted. Wang Bingchang has been working with the factory for a long time and is familiar with the factory. He is also very responsible.
The brand department told Li Donghao and his team members that they were originally in charge of the advertising campaign, and this group of people could not be replaced.
"These three people in the product department are fine. I'll communicate with the brand department right away; they shouldn't have any major problems either."
Qu Zhengming picked up the phone and called Liu Xiang, but he wasn't in the office. So she ran upstairs again, wanting to finalize the matter directly.
He then called Li Donghao and the team members down and immediately started a project meeting.
Rao Qiutong knocked on the door and entered Wan Xiwen's office. "Manager Wan, they're having a meeting. Should we go listen in?"
Wan Xiwen didn't want to cause trouble: "We have successfully completed the research and development of the new formula, and we will not concern ourselves with the promotion for the time being."
Rao Qiutong's promotional plan was abruptly halted, which made her very unhappy. "Are we just going to leave it like this?"
"Your plan wasn't a failure, it just couldn't take off before they got impatient. This involves the company's stock price when it goes public, and if it's not handled well, you'll be held responsible. Let that guy surnamed Gu do his thing. With the time so tight and the finance department cutting back on the budget, I don't think Gu Baolin will make it."
After hearing what Wan Xiwen said, Rao Qiutong felt a little better.
*
The first project promotion meeting was hosted by Ye Baoling. Qu Zhengming and Xu Chengping were also present at the meeting, which was a way of showing their support for her.
Everyone looked at Ye Baoling; she was young, fashionable, and her face showed no signs of aging.
I heard that she is not only a newcomer to Ye Qingtang, but also a newcomer to the workplace. Everyone is unsure of her, especially those in the brand department.
However, Li Donghao had seen Ye Baoling's proposal before and knew about her achievements in the company. He was quite impressed with this girl and had specifically instructed his colleagues to cooperate fully before coming down to the company.
Although his colleagues still lacked confidence, they had no choice but to take a gamble since things had come to this point.
Li Donghao first gave a report on the current progress of the promotion.
Ye Baoling flipped through the promotion and budget reports and asked, "Can the packaging redesign be completed today?"
The colleague in charge of the design said, "I asked the designer to produce three versions of the 'Jasmine Iced Tea' design based on your proposal. If the design can be finalized before noon, we can start printing in the afternoon and deliver it to the factory gradually in the evening."
Wang Bingchang, who had already communicated with the factory, said proactively, "The packaging plastic film will be delivered tonight, and we can only set it up tomorrow. The earliest we can deliver the goods to the distributors is the day after tomorrow."
Qu Zhengming reminded: "When delivering the new packaging of jasmine iced tea to retailers, remember to send back the old packaging as well."
Wang Bingchang agreed.
Ye Baoling continued, "Then we'll try our best to finalize the outer packaging design before noon."
"I'll go over it as soon as the meeting is over. Once the design is complete, I'll show it to you right away."
Ye Baoling closed the budget sheet and instructed, "Our budget is very limited, so stop all the advertising for tomorrow."
"Are all advertisements stopped?"
"Except for outdoor areas, everything else is suspended."
“Okay.” Li Donghao quickly wrote it down.
Ye Baoling: "Why isn't there a film or television commercial shooting schedule on this form?"
"Time is too tight. The budget we submitted hasn't been approved by the finance department yet. To shoot a TV commercial, the preparation, casting, and production will take at least half a month. We have to give up on the TV commercial this time..."
Ye Baoling quickly jotted it down; she would skip this question for now.
"How long will it take to revise the copy for print and radio ads based on the new name and positioning?"
Normally it would take at least a week to slowly come up with creative ideas, but now time is tight and there's no way to wait.
People weren't pulling each other apart like usual. The colleague in charge of copywriting said, "If the copy we finish today gets approved, we can design and finalize it tomorrow."
Ye Baoling nodded: "That means we can basically finish the work we have on hand today or tomorrow, and the new packaging and new advertisements can be released the day after tomorrow."
Some people in the brand department were worried: "Isn't there a risk of making a mistake by rushing things like this?"
Someone chimed in, "Yes, with such high load and high saturation, I'm worried we might make mistakes in the rush."
Ye Baoling smiled at Xu Chengping: "I remember that Sister Rong used to work as a reviewer. Manager Xu, could you lend Sister Rong to us for a couple of days?"
Xu Chengping nodded and smiled, "No problem, I'll talk to her later."
Ye Baoling: "In that case, all the copywriting and design produced by the brand department will be reviewed internally by you first, then He Jiayi will check it again, and finally Sister Rong will review the draft a third time."
"OK".
Next is the issue of advertising placement.
Ye Baoling: "I have reviewed the previous advertising plan. The advertising positioning and style have changed significantly. Moreover, our target customers are young consumers. Young people read entertainment gossip magazines more often than daily newspapers and evening newspapers. Therefore, I want to cut the advertising in daily newspapers and evening newspapers, which will save this budget."
The branding department colleagues looked at each other, some disagreeing: "Building brand awareness in daily and evening newspapers is essential. Besides, we have long-term partnerships with these newspapers, so the prices are reasonable."
Li Donghao also worried: "If we don't increase investment and instead reduce the budget, I'm worried that we won't achieve the results that the bosses want, and all our efforts will be in vain."
"Yes, it's not right that the boss can't see our ad at all when he opens the newspaper."
Ye Baoling believes that the current level of investment is sufficient. She wants to save money and secure more budget, but not for print and radio advertising; she wants to focus on television advertising.
In this day and age, television advertising for fast-moving consumer goods is far more effective than print and radio advertising.
She said, "I want to save some budget and put it into TV commercials. These days, young people watch TV the most, besides entertainment gossip magazines. HKTV has consistently had amazing ratings, and to achieve nationwide recognition, we definitely need to run TV commercials. Can we quickly come up with a script, shoot a 30-second ad, and then cut it into multiple versions such as 10-second, 15-second, and 30-second ads for broadcast?"
Li Donghao truthfully replied, "Manager Gu, we have three problems. First, we don't have a budget for advertising filming; second, we don't have enough time; and third, we don't have a budget for advertising."
Ye Qingtang's previous film and television commercials mostly featured big-name celebrities, which were expensive and took a long time to prepare.
Ye Baoling shared her ideas: "We won't hire celebrities. We'll find a group of energetic young people to shoot an ad on a basketball court. I'll write the concept, and I can finish it today. Tomorrow, the copywriter can write the script based on my concept. Also, our company has some film and advertising teams we've worked with before. Can we contact them immediately and get a quote? We can produce the ad within 2-3 days. We can delay the film and advertising release by a few days compared to the print ad, no problem. Mr. Qu, please help us negotiate the budget."
The colleague in charge of film and television advertising said, "We should be able to produce a script first, and then contact them for a quote. I can talk to them about it beforehand."
"Could you give a preliminary estimate of the cost?"
"If we don't hire any celebrities, the filming of this commercial should cost less than 10,000 yuan. The main problem is that the cost of airing the commercial is the most expensive part. If we want it to air during prime time, the minimum advertising package is 88,000 yuan or more. The budget we saved on print ads is simply not enough."
Ye Baoling looked at Qu Zhengming: "President Qu, could you help us sort out the filming costs first? Once the film is finished, we can release it as soon as possible. We can use the budget we've saved to run the commercials for as long as we can. At the same time, we should ask our superiors to increase the budget. If the TV commercials are effective, the bosses should agree to increase the budget."
Qu Zhengming nodded: "Okay, I'll go and figure out how to get the filming fees."
Then they quickly divided up the tasks.
"Gao Lizhen coordinates and contacts everyone, He Jiayi is responsible for reviewing the manuscript, Wang Bingchang is responsible for monitoring the factory's shipments, and the brand department follows the original division of labor. Everyone works together to achieve the goal. Regardless of whether they can get a promotion or a raise, everyone will have paid leave in shifts."
When everyone heard that they could take a vacation, they laughed and teased, "We want to get promoted and get a raise too!"
"Manager Gu, if we could work like you, I'd be happy to get promoted by plane and not take any holidays."
Everyone packed up their things and left laughing.
*
After the meeting, Ye Baoling went to find Qi Yuxiu.
Since the other party was not in the office, Ye Baoling had no choice but to page her.
Qi Yuxiu quickly replied to her message, asking her to come to her office in half an hour.
Half an hour later, Ye Baoling finally met Qi Yuxiu.
She told the other party about how she had been forced to become the project manager for the promotion of jasmine herbal tea.
"The promotion of jasmine herbal tea didn't go well this time, and I feel like I was just pushed into this as a scapegoat."
Qi Yuxiu reassured her, "It's alright, just do what I've arranged for you."
"Then what should I do?"
Qi Yuxiu thought for a moment: "Pretend to be very busy, spend more money, find more things to do, exaggerate a bit to let people know that you have done your best!"
"In the meeting just now, I did my best to keep everyone on their toes. Qu Zhengming will also help to secure a larger budget."
"Very good, it's right to drag Qu Zhengming down with us. We need to drive everyone crazy. They'll spend the money and still not see any results. When Zeng Zhentao comes back and finds the formula is wrong, then we'll make our move."
Ye Baoling laughed and said, "It's quite interesting to think about."
Qi Yuxiu asked, "Does no one doubt the recipe for jasmine iced tea?"
"At room temperature, the two flavors are almost identical and difficult to distinguish. Even when chilled, it's hard to tell the difference unless you compare the two recipes side by side."
"That's good. You can go ahead and get busy. Call me if you need anything, and we can keep in touch by phone. Try to avoid suspicion in the near future and come to my office less often."
"good."
Ye Baoling returned to her workstation and began brainstorming ideas for film and television commercials. Gao Lizhen helped her oversee the revisions to the packaging design of jasmine iced tea, and everything proceeded quickly according to plan.
The company didn't have a television, so during lunch break, Ye Baoling, Wang Simin, and Gu Man'er ate at a tea restaurant outside.
During a break from eating, Ye Baoling stared at the color TV in the tea restaurant, trying to see what most of the advertisements were like these days.
The television is broadcasting news about an American basketball star visiting Hong Kong.
In the video, enthusiastic citizens surround the star player, shouting and screaming, asking for autographs, just like fans seeing their idols—it's incredibly crazy.
Seeing Ye Baoling staring at the TV, Wang Simin couldn't help but ask, "You like Xian Bi too? My brother and sister are crazy about him, they're like madmen. They want to buy tickets to watch his game, even a friendly one, but they couldn't get tickets, they're practically going crazy."
No wonder the newspapers this morning were all reporting that football legend Hambein would be visiting Hong Kong.
Ye Baoling asked, "Do many people like him?"
"At least nine and a half out of ten young people like him, and not only young people, but also middle-aged and young adults like him."
This perfectly overlaps with the consumer group of jasmine iced tea.
Gu Man'er said, "Gu Zhen'er likes it."
Back in the office, Ye Baoling asked He Jiayi to check if Xian Bi had any beverage advertisement endorsements.
After checking, He Jiayi told her, "We had a contract before, but it wasn't renewed in the first half of the year. You wouldn't be thinking of having Xian Bi as our spokesperson, would you?"
How much would that cost?
Ye Baoling smiled and asked in return, "Do we have that budget?"
"No."
He Jiayi was quick-witted. After thinking for a while, she said, "However, we can use the opportunity of talking to him about an endorsement to create some buzz. Whether we can sign him in the end depends on fate, right? We can ask his agency for his price, and then publish an article in the newspaper saying that Ye Qingtang Jasmine Iced Tea intends to invite Xian Bi as its spokesperson. We won't spend any money, but the advertising effect will be amazing."
Having similar thoughts to Ye Baoling, she gave He Jiayi a thumbs up, saying, "All's fair in war."
“Of course.” He Jiayi immediately took action. “I’ll go and communicate with the brand to ask them which agency they usually use to hire celebrities. We’ll contact Xian Bi’s agent through the agency first.”
An hour later, He Jiayi came running back, "I've contacted them, and they'll give us a quote tomorrow. I think we can release the press release the day after tomorrow."
"Just release a press release like this?"
What else do you want?
Ye Baoling had been pondering this matter. "I feel that this press release lacks persuasiveness. We can actually go and discuss the endorsement deal with them, negotiate the price, report to our superiors, and if they agree, we can sign the contract. Everyone will be happy. With Xian Bi as the spokesperson, an advertisement will definitely be very effective. If the price is too high and the leaders disagree, that's fine too. When we discuss the deal, we can bring jasmine iced tea with us. Just as we hand the iced tea to Xian Bi, we can secretly arrange for media reporters to take pictures of Xian Bi holding the jasmine iced tea. After that, we can find a way to hype it up. The effect will definitely be better."
He Jiayi's eyes widened: "That's a brilliant move! Anyway, we're going to discuss cooperation with all our sincerity, and we can't control whether it works out or not."
He gave a sly smile, "And we can't control what news or photos the media publishes, can we? Xianbi is so popular, it's bound to be a huge hit!"
Then, after a moment's thought, she asked, "Who will negotiate this collaboration?"
Ye Baoling raised an eyebrow slightly: "The opportunity to make a contribution is right in front of you. Do you want it?"
He Jiayi swallowed hard: "I'll go! But you have to come with me."
"It's settled then."
*
The planned work was basically completed that day.
Ye Baoling wrote three drafts of the film and television advertisement concept. Before leaving get off work, she took them to the brand department, where everyone sat around to review the concept.
Ultimately, everyone unanimously chose the "Depressed Youth Version".
A frustrated young man wanted to watch a basketball game live, but since he didn't have a ticket, he could only watch the live broadcast on TV at home alone. While watching the broadcast, he drank jasmine iced tea and finally imagined himself on the basketball court, under the spotlight, leaping up to shoot a basket.
Final image: Ye Qingtang Jasmine Iced Tea, refreshing and thirst-quenching, exhilarating.
All it takes is one actor to create a commercial that looks very lively.
This can minimize shooting difficulties and save costs.
Some people questioned: "Can the advertisement mention Xian Bi's name? Wouldn't that infringe on his rights?"
Ye Baoling: "Then let's change it to Bi Xian."
Everyone burst into laughter.
She hadn't gone home by 8 p.m. after working overtime. Her pager received a message from her mother-in-law, Yang Pinxian, asking what she had been busy with lately and whether she could come home for dinner.
Ye Baoling went to the logistics office on the fourth floor to return the call. No one was working overtime there, so it was more relaxed.
Hearing her voice, Yang Pinxian quickly asked with a smile, "Baoling, when do you have time to come home for dinner? Grandma hasn't seen you in a long time and misses you."
Ye Baoling has been busy this week. "I'll be working overtime soon, maybe next week. I'll call you in advance if I go back."
"Okay, remember to drink plenty of soup. Take care of yourself."
Yang Pinxian, who was in a small side room on the second floor, hung up the phone and turned to tell the old lady next to her, "I'm working overtime. I won't have time until next week."
Grandma Guan frowned slightly: "A mere clerk doesn't need to work overtime every day. Did they have a fight?"
"No way?" Yang Pinxian was even more worried.
Just then, Ye Huaizhang came downstairs. Faced with his grandmother's questioning, he explained, "We didn't argue. She was just busy, and so was I."
“This long-term separation isn’t a solution. If you keep separating, it’ll easily become a mere formality.” After saying that, Old Madam Guan shook her head again: “No, you don’t even have a formal title now.”
Ye Huaizhang had to go out, so he said, "Everything is normal, don't overthink it."
“What young couple would be willing to separate right after getting married? They can’t wait to be together every day. You two haven’t seen each other for over a week, right? This is bound to cause problems sooner or later.” Seeing that her grandson was about to leave before he could explain himself, the old lady threatened, “No, I want to go and make things clear with Ye Qizu. He has to agree, whether he likes it or not.”
Should we bring it up with Ye Qizu?
If Ye Baoling found out, she could divorce him immediately.
Ye Huaizhang stopped in his tracks and explained with a helpless expression, "We met the day before yesterday."
Yang Pinxian immediately smiled and asked, "Where did you meet? How come we didn't know?"
"Hotel, suite." After saying that, Ye Huaizhang went downstairs and left.
Meeting in a hotel suite?
Grandma Guan and Yang Pinxian exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh.
Grandma Guan nodded in satisfaction: "It's more exciting outside than at home. That's more like what young people do."
*
Ye Baoling got home around 11 p.m., took a shower, and then called Ye Huaizhang.
Ye Huaizhang was still out socializing. He walked outside the private room and spoke to her: "Um, what's up?"
"What kind of attitude is this? Can't I summon you for pleasure if there's nothing wrong?"
Ye Huaizhang couldn't help but smile, "I'm afraid I won't be able to serve you tonight."
Hearing a slightly noisy commotion on his end, Ye Baoling asked, "You haven't gone home yet?"
"Not that early. I'm busy these days."
"I just got home from working overtime too. Your mom called me today, and it suddenly occurred to me that your parents are having their 30th wedding anniversary this month, right? Are they going to have some kind of reception or something?"
Ye Huaizhang: "It'll probably just be a family meal. The time hasn't been set yet, I'll let you know later. I'll prepare the gift."
This is one of the benefits of couples being together; all you need to do is prepare a gift.
"Okay then." She hung up the phone without warning.
Hearing the dial tone in his ear, he felt helpless, but he had gradually gotten used to her hanging up on him.
Habits can be trained.
*
The next day, Ye Baoling arrived at the company early, and her colleagues from the brand department brought in two film and television advertising production teams to compare prices.
One of the smaller companies quoted 10,000 yuan and promised to deliver the film within three days.
Ye Baoling placed one hand on the table: "Mr. Zhong, is it? I won't negotiate the price, but I can shorten the time to two days. How about that?"
Director Chung Li-jen said, "Two days is too tight. We need to schedule everything, from renting equipment to casting actors."
"This is just the first video in the Jasmine Iced Tea series. We'll be shooting a second and a third one. If you can take it on, we'll finalize it immediately. We'll give you priority consideration for future videos in this series. If not, as you can see, we have another backup team."
When Ye Baoling said this, there was a strong sense of authority about her.
Zhong Liren is also a young entrepreneur, and he is very happy to have a long-term cooperation with Ye Qingtang.
"Okay. I'll try to deliver the film in two days."
Rao Qiutong, who had just passed through the conference room, quickly returned to her workstation and jotted something down in her notebook.
After finishing her work discussion, Ye Baoling returned to her workstation and called Bai Zhu.
She had already made an appointment with Bai Zhu yesterday, asking her to find a sports reporter to help her with something.
Bai Zhu said, "I've found you a very well-known reporter in the sports world. His name is Ryan. I'll give you his pager number so you can contact him directly. He said that if there's a breaking news story, there won't be any fees."
"That's great. With your help, things will be much easier." Ye Baoling wrote down Ryan's number, hung up the phone, and immediately contacted him.
Ryan will be at the sports center this afternoon. "Just come find me."
Just to be on the safe side, Ye Baoling left the other party her pager and mobile phone number.
*
In the afternoon, Ye Baoling went home to change into a designer outfit and took her most expensive bag before returning to the company.
He Jiayi exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, you're dressed in such expensive clothes!"
Everyone in the office looked over.
Ye Baoling smiled and said, "Borrowed."
She doesn't care about designer brands, but others do.
Therefore, when necessary, wearing designer brands can be considered a weapon.
She arrived at the sports center with He Jiayi and another colleague from the brand department, Ajian.
Today, Xianbi is participating in a friendly match here.
The agent has communicated with the other party's agent, and they will personally discuss the endorsement with Xian Bi after the competition ends.
Upon arrival, the agent tried to lead them inside, but was stopped by security guards.
The agent tried to communicate with the security guard: "We have arranged to meet with Xian Bi's agent in the lounge."
But the security guards were unyielding and said, "No one can enter the inner area without a work badge."
The agent tried to secretly give him money, but he refused.
The agent had no choice but to go to a public phone booth outside and say he wanted to send a paging message to Hambi's Hong Kong agent.
Ye Baoling, He Jiayi, and the others could only wait foolishly outside.
"We should go in and watch the game first."
Ye Baoling had originally arranged to contact Ryan after entering the inner area, but she didn't want to sit idly by and wait for her fate.
Experience and intuition both told her that the agency was unreliable.
"I'm going to the restroom first. You guys wait for me here."
She found a secluded corner and paged Ryan with her mobile phone. He called her back very quickly.
Ye Baoling said, "Ryan, the agency our company found might not be reliable. I can't get into the inner area right now. Do you have any extra work passes that can help us get in?"
Ryan thought for a moment and said, "I'll try to get one. You wait for me at Gate 3."
Even just one person getting in would be fine.
Ye Baoling went back to He Jiayi and said, "The reporter I contacted earlier can bring one person in. I'll go in first, and if you come in later, wait outside the VIP lounge."
He Jiayi nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay. Luckily, the reporter you found is reliable."
Ye Baoling took three newly packaged bottles of jasmine iced tea from A-Jian, stuffed them into her handbag, and quickly walked towards Gate 3.
Ryan's surname is Lai, and his given name is Lai Yancong. He is under thirty years old, tall, thin, and very capable.
He had a camera hanging around his neck and handed Ye Baoling his work badge.
Enter through Gate 3, walk along the corridor, the press area is on the left, and the VIP lounge is on the right.
Meanwhile, the match was in full swing, and Lai Yancong told her, "Xian Bi just came on and will probably go back to the locker room after about 15 minutes."
"Okay, I'll wait for him here."
“OK, I’ll keep an eye on Xianbi the whole time and act accordingly.” Lai Yancong was clearly much more reliable than the real estate agent.
Ye Baoling took out a bottle of jasmine iced tea from her bag, thinking about how to find an opportunity to communicate with Xian Bi later.
About twenty minutes later, He Jiayi and the others still hadn't come in. Judging from the shouts coming from the stadium, Xian Bi had probably finished the friendly match and gone off to rest.
Sure enough, a staff member ran in shortly afterward.
Then a group of people surrounded the 2-meter-tall Xian Bi as he walked towards her, followed by several reporters.
Could this unreliable agent have never even contacted the actual agent?
It's likely that the other party has no idea who Ye Qingtang is.
At this time, the most important qualities are adaptability and courage.
How shameless!
Only those who are thick-skinned and unafraid of embarrassment can succeed.
In a moment of desperation, Ye Baoling shouted, "Hamish! I am here!"
Xianbi looked over and saw a local beauty greeting him. The way she looked at him seemed to be looking at an... old friend.
Who is this?
She was dressed impeccably, adorned in expensive designer brands, looking like a wealthy heiress.
Hambi has seen so many people in Hong Kong these past two days that he can hardly distinguish between East Asian faces.
"Here you go." Ye Baoling smiled and tossed the jasmine iced tea in her hand into the air, which Xian Bi caught effortlessly.
The King of Football is truly exceptional; his catch was incredibly stylish.
He smiled and said in English, "It's you! Oh, my friend, we meet again."
This is really a windfall. Xianbi is quite the actor.
Ye Baoling suppressed a laugh.
The two gave each other a symbolic hug.
Ye Baoling saw Lai Yancong give her an "OK" sign not far away, so he must have captured the scene of Xian Bi receiving the iced tea.
Now she can gracefully retire.
But Hambi is a bit of a chatterbox, and he really considers her his friend. "The weather in Hong Kong is really weird."
"Is it too humid and difficult to breathe?"
"Yes! Oh, damn it, my God."
The two chatted as they walked toward the lounge, and the staff assumed they were friends.
Because Xian Bi is American, Ye Baoling naturally switched to American English to chat with him: "Did your agent tell you? I want to talk to you about the endorsement today."
"Which brand is it?" Indeed, quite a few businesses have approached Xian Bi these past few days to discuss endorsements.
Ye Baoling pointed to the drink in his hand: "Have you ever tried Ye Qingtang herbal tea? It's Chinese herbal tea. Ye Qingtang is the largest herbal tea company in Gangcheng."
"Oh, no."
"Would you like to try some? It tastes completely different from cola, but it's delicious!"
"Really?" Xianbi glanced at the drink in his hand, somewhat disbelieving that it would taste good.
"Really, you should try it."
Xian Bi unscrewed the bottle cap, tilted his head back, and took a big gulp.
Lai Yancong, surrounded by reporters, snapped a series of photos.
"Oh!" The taste was different from what he expected. It was sweet with a faint jasmine tea aroma, and quite delicious. He gave an exaggerated thumbs-up, "Very Good!"
That's really Very Good.

Ye Baoling: Is it just an idea?
