The Young Lady is a Bit Unruly [Fragrant Harbor] - Chapter 51 Good!

Chapter 51 Good!

Qu Zhengming hurried down the stairs and entered the office area, just as Ye Baoling was returning from the restroom.

Bao Ling, come to my office.

Inside the director’s office, Qu Zhengming quickly briefed her on today’s events.

Upper management’s decision is to put you in full charge of the Jasmine Herbal Tea promotion. Will you accept?

Ye Baoling countered, In what capacity would I be taking this on?

Project Manager for Jasmine Herbal Tea Promotion.

What about Wan Xiwena?

Qu Zhengming smiled wryly, She’s the Project Manager for Jasmine Herbal Tea Development and Promotion.

Ye Baoling understood—though both held project manager titles, Wan Xiwena’s scope was broader.

Clearly, the jasmine R&D improvements had been successful. Wan Xiwena already had achievements under her belt; regardless of the promotion’s outcome, her promotion was secure.

Meanwhile, Ye Baoling was merely the Promotion Project Manager. If the promotion failed, she would bear full responsibility, and all her previous contributions to the jasmine improvements would be erased.

The older ginger is spicier.

Shen Wanjie was truly adept at maneuvering.

Qu Zhengming said, The choice is yours—you can take it or leave it. If you decline, I’ll hand off all promotion-related tasks and wash my hands of it. Either way, internal conflicts are inevitable later.

Accepting was a hot potato.

Declining meant surrendering outright, admitting defeat.

Ye Baoling gritted her teeth slightly, I’ll take it.

Qu Zhengming smiled and patted her arm, Good. If you’re in, we go all out. Whatever resources you need, I’ll help coordinate.

Who’s on the project team?

It couldn’t just be her alone.

Name who you want.

Ye Baoling immediately grabbed pen and paper and wrote out a list.

From the Product Department, she wanted Gao Lizhen, He Jiayi, and Wang Bingchang. She already had a good rapport with Gao Lizhen, He Jiayi was quick-witted, and Wang Bingchang had long handled factory liaisons—he knew that side well and was diligent.

From the Brand Department, she wanted Li Donghao and his team members. Since they were originally in charge of ad placements, this group couldn’t be replaced.

These three from Product are no problem. I’ll communicate with Brand right away—that should be fine too.

Qu Zhengming picked up the phone to call Liu Xiang, but he wasn’t in his office. She hurried upstairs to settle the matter directly.

She also summoned Li Donghao and his team downstairs to start the project meeting immediately.

Rao Qiutong knocked and entered Wan Xiwena’s office. Manager Wan, they’re having a meeting. Should we sit in?

Wan Xiwena didn’t want to stir trouble. We’ve already succeeded with the new formula development and improvement. Let’s leave the promotion alone for now.

Rao Qiutong, whose promotion plan had been abruptly halted, felt uneasy. Are we really just going to ignore it?

Your plan wasn’t a failure—it just hadn’t had time to gain traction before they grew impatient. This involves the company’s stock price for the upcoming IPO. If it goes wrong, someone will take the blame. Let that Gu woman handle it. With such tight deadlines and the budget likely to be squeezed by Finance, I doubt Gu Baolin will succeed either.

Hearing this, Rao Qiutong felt somewhat better.

This was the first promotion project meeting chaired by Ye Baoling. Both Qu Zhengming and Xu Chengping attended to show their support.

Everyone looked at Ye Baoling—young, fashionable, with no trace of time’s passage on her face.

It was said she was not only Ye Qingtang’s new recruit but also a newcomer to the workplace. Everyone felt uncertain, especially the brand department.

However, Li Donghao had previously reviewed Ye Baoling’s proposals and learned about her achievements within the company. This girl was extraordinary, and he held some admiration for her. Before the meeting, he had specifically instructed his colleagues to cooperate fully.

Although the colleagues still lacked confidence, given the circumstances, they had no choice but to give it their all.

Li Donghao first reported the current progress of the promotion.

Ye Baoling flipped through the promotion and budget reports and asked, Will the packaging redesign from the design team be ready today?

The colleague responsible for liaising with design replied, I’ve asked the designers to prepare three versions of the ‘Jasmine Iced Tea’ packaging based on your proposal. If the final version is confirmed by noon, we can proceed with printing in the afternoon and have the materials delivered to the factory by evening.

Wang Bingchang, who had already communicated with the factory, added proactively, Even if the packaging film arrives tonight, assembly can only begin tomorrow. The earliest we can deliver the goods to distributors is the day after tomorrow.

Qu Zhengming reminded, When delivering the new packaging of Jasmine Iced Tea to the retailers, remember to retrieve the stock with the old packaging.

Wang Bingchang agreed.

Ye Baoling continued, Then let’s try to finalize the packaging design by noon.

As soon as the meeting ends, I’ll go supervise it. Once the design is ready, I’ll bring it to you immediately.

Ye Baoling closed the budget report and instructed, Our budget is very limited. Let’s suspend all advertisements scheduled for tomorrow.

All advertisements?

Except for outdoor ads, which can’t be changed, suspend everything else.

Okay. Li Donghao quickly noted it down.

Ye Baoling asked, Why isn’t there a plan for filming a TV commercial in this report?

The timeline is too tight. The budget we submitted earlier hasn’t been approved by finance. Preparing for a TV commercial—planning, casting actors, and production—would take at least half a month. This time, we’ll have to forgo it…

Ye Baoling made a quick note and set the issue aside for the moment.

How long will it take to revise the copy for print and radio ads based on the new name and positioning?

Under normal circumstances, it would take at least a week to brainstorm ideas and develop creative concepts, but with the current urgency, waiting was impossible.

No one dragged their feet as they usually would. The colleague in charge of copywriting said, If the copy finalized today gets approved, we can proceed with design and finalization tomorrow.

Ye Baoling nodded. So, essentially, we can complete the current tasks today and tomorrow. The new packaging and ads can launch the day after tomorrow.

Someone from the brand department expressed concern, With such a rush, could mistakes happen?

Another chimed in, Yes. Operating at such high intensity, I’m worried errors might occur under pressure.

Ye Baoling smiled and turned to Xu Chengping. I recall Rong Jie used to specialize in proofreading. Manager Xu, could you lend her to us for two days?

Xu Chengping nodded with a smile. No problem. I’ll speak to her later.

Ye Baoling said, In that case, for all copy and designs from the brand department, conduct an internal first round of review. Then, He Jiayi will check them a second time, and finally, Rong Jie will proofread the third round.

OK.

Next was the issue of ad placement.

Ye Baoling said, I’ve reviewed the previous advertising plan. The current targeting and style have changed significantly, and our target audience is young consumers. Young people read entertainment gossip magazines more frequently, while daily and evening newspapers are rarely read. Therefore, I suggest cutting the placements in daily and evening newspapers. This portion of the budget can be saved.

The colleagues in the branding department exchanged glances. One of them disagreed: Advertising in daily and evening newspapers builds brand awareness and is essential. Moreover, we have long-term partnerships with these newspapers at favorable rates.

Li Donghao also expressed concern: Instead of increasing our advertising efforts, we’re reducing the budget. I’m worried we won’t achieve the results the higher-ups expect, and all our efforts will go to waste.

Exactly, it wouldn’t be appropriate if the bosses open the newspapers and don’t see our ads at all, right?

Ye Baoling believed the current advertising intensity was sufficient. Her goal was to save and secure more budget—not for print or radio ads, but for television commercials.

In this era, the impact of TV ads for fast-moving consumer goods far surpassed that of print and radio.

She explained, I want to save some budget for TV advertising. Besides entertainment gossip magazines, television is what young people watch the most. HKTV consistently achieves astonishing viewership ratings. To achieve nationwide recognition, we must run TV commercials. Can we quickly draft a script, shoot a 30-second ad, and then edit it into multiple versions like 10-second, 15-second, and 30-second spots for placement?

Li Donghao stated frankly, Manager Gu, we face three challenges: no budget for ad filming, insufficient time, and no placement budget.

Ye Qingtang’s previous video ads mostly featured big celebrities, which were costly and required long preparation times.

Ye Baoling shared her idea: We don’t need celebrities. Let’s find a group of energetic young people and shoot the ad on a basketball court. I’ll handle the creative concept and can finalize it today. The copywriters can draft the script based on my concept tomorrow. Also, our company has previously collaborated with a video production team. Can we contact them immediately for a quote and have them deliver the footage in 2-3 days? It’s fine if the TV ad placements are a few days later than print. As for the budget, General Manager Qu can help us secure it.

The colleague in charge of video ads replied, Drafting the script first and then contacting them for a quote shouldn’t be a problem. I can reach out to them in advance.

Can we get a rough estimate of the costs?

Without hiring celebrities, the production should stay under 10,000. The main issue is that ad placement is the most expensive part. To air during prime time, the minimum ad package costs over 88,000. The savings from print ads won’t cover it.

Ye Baoling looked at Qu Zhengming: General Manager Qu, can you help secure the production budget first? Once the ad is ready, we’ll air it for as long as the saved budget allows. Meanwhile, we can request additional funds from upper management. If the TV ad performs well, the bosses should agree to increase the budget.

Qu Zhengming nodded: Alright, I’ll find a way to secure the production costs.

They quickly divided the tasks afterward.

Gao Lizhen will coordinate and contact everyone, He Jiayi is responsible for reviewing drafts, Wang Bingchang will oversee factory shipments, and the branding department will proceed according to their original divisions. Let’s work together seamlessly. After achieving our goals, regardless of promotions or raises, everyone will get paid rotational leave.

Upon hearing about the leave, everyone cheered and joked: We want promotions and raises too!

Manager Gu, if we could advance as swiftly as you, we wouldn’t mind skipping vacations.

Amid laughter, they packed up and dispersed.

*

After the meeting, Ye Baoling went to find Qi Yuxiu.

She wasn’t in her office, so Ye Baoling had to page her.

Qi Yuxiu soon replied, asking Ye Baoling to meet her in the office half an hour later.

Thirty minutes later, Ye Baoling finally saw Qi Yuxiu.

She confided about being forced to take on the role of project manager for the Jasmine Herbal Tea promotion.

The promotion for Jasmine Herbal Tea isn’t going well. I feel like I’m just being set up as the scapegoat.

Qi Yuxiu reassured her: Don’t worry, just follow instructions when assigned tasks.

What should I do then?

After a moment’s thought, Qi Yuxiu said: Act busy, spend more money, create more tasks—be dramatic so everyone knows you’re trying your hardest!

During the meeting earlier, I already pushed everyone to their limits. Qu Zhengming will also help secure more budget.

Perfect, dragging Qu Zhengming into this is exactly right. Drive everyone crazy, spend the money, and when it still doesn’t work, we’ll strike after Zeng Zhentao returns and discovers the formula issue.

Ye Baoling laughed: Thinking about it, it’s quite amusing.

Qi Yuxiu asked: Has anyone suspected the Jasmine Iced Tea formula?

At room temperature, both versions taste similar and are hard to distinguish. Even chilled, unless you compare both formulas side-by-side, it’s difficult to notice.

Good. Go ahead with your work. Page me if needed—we’ll stay in touch by phone. Lately, let’s avoid suspicion and minimize office visits.

Alright.

Returning to her desk, Ye Baoling began brainstorming video ad concepts. Gao Lizhen helped supervise the redesign of Jasmine Iced Tea’s packaging. Everything progressed swiftly according to plan.

The company had no television. During lunch break, Ye Baoling, Wang Simin, and Gu Man’er ate at a nearby cha chaan teng.

Between bites, Ye Baoling watched the color TV there, studying current advertising trends.

The screen showed news about an American basketball star visiting Hong Kong.

In the footage, enthusiastic crowds surrounded the player, screaming and begging for autographs—frenzied, like fans meeting their idol.

Noticing Ye Baoling’s focus, Wang Simin asked: Do you like Xian Bi too? My younger siblings are obsessed—they went crazy trying to buy tickets for his exhibition game but couldn’t get any.

No wonder this morning’s papers were hyping Ball King Xian Bi’s visit.

Ye Baoling asked: Is he that popular?

Out of ten young people, at least nine and a half like him. It’s not just the youth—middle-aged folks adore him too.

This perfectly overlapped with Jasmine Iced Tea’s target demographic.

Gu Man’er added: Gu Zhen’er is a fan.

Back in the office, Ye Baoling asked He Jiayi to check if Xian Bi had any beverage endorsements.

After investigating, He Jiayi reported: He had one before, but it wasn’t renewed this half-year. You’re not thinking of hiring Xian Bi as our spokesperson, are you?

How much would that even cost?

Ye Baoling smiled and retorted, Do we have the budget for that?

We don’t.

He Jiayi, being quick-witted, thought for a moment and said, But we can use the negotiation for an endorsement deal to create some hype. Whether we actually sign the contract depends on fate, right? We can inquire about the price through his agency, then release a press statement: Ye Qingtang Jasmine Iced Tea intends to invite Xian Bi as its spokesperson. No money spent, but the advertising impact would be huge.

The idea aligned with Ye Baoling’s thoughts. She gave He Jiayi a thumbs-up, All’s fair in war.

Of course. He Jiayi immediately took action. I’ll communicate with the brand team to find out which agency they usually use to hire celebrities. We’ll contact Xian Bi’s agent through that agency first.

An hour later, He Jiayi came running back, We’ve made contact. They’ll give us a quote tomorrow. I think we can release the press statement the day after.

Just release it like that?

What else do you want to do?

Ye Baoling had been pondering this matter all along. I feel such a press statement lacks persuasiveness. We could genuinely negotiate an endorsement deal with them, get the price, report it to the higher-ups. If they agree, we sign the contract—everyone’s happy. Having Xian Bi as our spokesperson and filming a commercial would definitely yield great results. If the price is too high and the leaders don’t approve, it’s fine too. During the negotiation, we’ll bring the Jasmine Iced Tea with us. When we hand the iced tea to Xian Bi, we can secretly arrange for media photographers to capture the moment of Xian Bi holding the Jasmine Iced Tea. Then we can find ways to hype it up—the effect would surely be even better.

He Jiayi widened her eyes, That move of yours is brilliant! Anyway, we’re approaching the negotiation with full sincerity. Whether it succeeds or not is beyond our control.

She then gave a sly smile, And what news or photos the media publishes is also beyond our control, right? Xian Bi is so popular—it’s bound to go viral!

After a moment’s thought, she asked, Who’s going to handle these negotiations?

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, I’ll go! But you have to come with me.

Deal.

That day, the planned tasks were mostly completed.

Ye Baoling drafted three versions of the TV commercial concept. Before clocking out, she took them to the branding department, where everyone gathered to review the ideas.

In the end, the consensus was clear—they chose the Frustrated Youth Version.

The concept featured a frustrated young man who wanted to watch Xian Bi’s game live but couldn’t get tickets, so he ended up watching the broadcast alone at home. While watching, he drank Jasmine Iced Tea and eventually fantasized about himself on the basketball court, leaping up for a shot under the spotlight.

The final shot would freeze on: Ye Qingtang Jasmine Iced Tea—refreshingly quenching thirst, passionately exhilarating.

The commercial required only one actor to create a seemingly lively advertisement.

This approach minimized shooting difficulties while cutting costs.

Someone raised a concern, Can the ad mention Xian Bi’s name? Would that infringe on rights?

Ye Baoling replied, Then we’ll change it—rename him Bi Xian.

The room burst into laughter.

She was still working overtime past 8 p.m. when her pager buzzed with 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 offered more privacy.

Yang Pinxian smiled warmly upon hearing her voice and asked, Bao Ling, when do you have time to come home for dinner? Grandma hasn’t seen you in so long and misses you.

Ye Baoling had been busy all week. I’ve been working overtime lately, maybe next week. If I’m coming back, I’ll call you in advance.

Alright, remember to drink more soup. Take care of yourself.

Yang Pinxian, who was in the small side hall on the second floor, hung up the phone and turned to the elderly lady beside her. She’s working overtime and won’t have time until next week.

Guan Lao Taijun frowned slightly. A junior clerk shouldn’t need to work overtime every day. Did they have a fight?

Surely not? Yang Pinxian grew more concerned.

Just then, Ye Huaizhang came downstairs. Facing his grandmother’s questioning, he explained, We didn’t fight. She’s just busy, and so am I.

But living apart like this long-term isn’t sustainable. Separation often leads to a marriage in name only. Guan Lao Taijun shook her head. No, you don’t even have the pretense of marriage now.

Ye Huaizhang had matters to attend to outside. Everything’s fine. Don’t overthink it.

What young couple would choose to separate right after marriage? They usually can’t bear to be apart. You haven’t seen each other for over a week, have you? This will lead to problems eventually. Seeing her grandson about to leave without clarifying, the old lady threatened, No, I want to confront Ye Qizu directly. Whether he agrees or not.

Confront Ye Qizu?

If Ye Baoling found out, she’d divorce him immediately.

Ye Huaizhang stopped in his tracks and explained with resignation, We met just the day before yesterday.

Yang Pinxian immediately beamed. Where did you meet? How come we didn’t know?

Hotel, suite. With that, Ye Huaizhang went downstairs and left.

They met in a hotel suite?

Guan Lao Taijun and Yang Pinxian exchanged glances and couldn’t help but smile.

Guan Lao Taijun nodded in satisfaction. More exciting outside than at home. That’s more like young people.

Ye Baoling returned home around eleven. After showering, she called Ye Huaizhang.

Ye Huaizhang was still out socializing. He stepped outside the private room to speak with her. Yes, what is it?

What’s with the attitude? Can’t I summon you for no reason?

Ye Huaizhang couldn’t suppress a smile. I’m afraid your husband won’t be able to attend to you tonight.

Hearing the slight noise in the background, Ye Baoling asked, You’re not home yet?

Not this early. Been busy these past couple days.

I just got home from overtime too. Your mom called me today, and it suddenly reminded me—aren’t your parents celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary this month? Are they having some kind of banquet?

Ye Huaizhang: Probably just a family dinner. The date isn’t set yet. I’ll let you know. I’ll take care of the gift.

This was the advantage of being married—only one gift needed to be prepared.

Alright then. She hung up without warning.

Listening to the dial tone, he felt helpless but was gradually getting used to her hanging up on him.

Any habit could be trained.

The next day, Ye Baoling arrived at the company early. Colleagues from the branding department had invited two film advertising production teams for price comparisons.

One of the smaller companies quoted ten thousand with delivery in three days.

Ye Baoling pressed one hand on the table. Mr. Zhong, is it? I won’t bargain on the price, but can you compress the timeline to two days?

Director Zhong Liren said, Two days is too tight. Renting equipment and confirming actors both require scheduling.

This is just the first film in the Jasmine Iced Tea series. We’ll continue shooting the second and third installments later. If you can take this on, we’ll confirm it immediately. For this entire series of films, we’ll give you priority consideration. If not, as you can see, we have another backup team.

When Ye Baoling said this, there was a somewhat strong sense of pressure in her tone.

Zhong Liren was also a young entrepreneur, and being able to collaborate long-term with Ye Qingtang was an opportunity he had long desired.

Alright. I’ll try to deliver the footage within two days.

Rao Qiutong, who happened to pass by the conference room, quickly returned to her workstation and jotted something down in her notebook.

After wrapping up work discussions, Ye Baoling returned to her desk and called Bai Zhu.

She had already arranged with Bai Zhu the day before to find a sports journalist to assist with a task.

Bai Zhu said, I found one for you—a well-known journalist in the sports circle named Ryan. I’ll give you his pager number, and you can contact him directly. He mentioned that if the news has potential to go viral, he won’t charge any fee.

Perfect. With your help, things are twice as efficient. Ye Baoling noted down Ryan’s number, hung up, and immediately contacted him.

Ryan would be at the sports center all afternoon. You can come find me directly.

To be safe, Ye Baoling left both her pager and mobile phone numbers with him.

In the afternoon, Ye Baoling specially went home to change into designer clothes and carried her most expensive bag before returning to the office.

He Jiayi exclaimed in surprise, Wow, your outfit is worth a fortune.

Everyone in the office turned to look.

Ye Baoling laughed, They’re borrowed.

She didn’t care about brand names, but others did.

So when necessary, wearing luxury brands could also serve as a weapon.

She went to the sports center with He Jiayi and another colleague from the branding department, A Jian.

Xian Bi was participating in a friendly match there today.

The intermediary had communicated with his agent, and they were scheduled to discuss endorsement matters with Xian Bi personally after the match.

Upon arrival, the intermediary tried to take them into the inner field but was stopped by security.

The intermediary attempted to negotiate, We have an appointment with Xian Bi’s agent in the lounge.

But the security guard remained stern, No access to the inner field without a work pass.

Even when the intermediary tried to slip him some money, he refused.

Left with no choice, the intermediary ran to an outside public phone booth, saying he needed to send a pager message to Xian Bi’s agent in Port City.

Ye Baoling and He Jiayi could only wait outside helplessly.

We should go in and watch the game first.

Ye Baoling had originally arranged to contact Ryan after entering the inner field. She didn’t want to sit around doing nothing.

Experience and intuition told her the intermediary was unreliable.

I’m going to the restroom first. Wait for me here.

She found a secluded corner and used her mobile phone to page Ryan. He called back quickly.

Ye Baoling said, Ryan, the intermediary our company hired might not be reliable. I can’t get into the inner field. Do you have any extra work passes to get us in?

Ryan thought for a moment, I’ll try to get one. Wait for me at Gate 3.

Even getting one person in would be progress.

Ye Baoling returned to He Jiayi, The journalist I contacted earlier can bring one person in. I’ll go in first. If you manage to get in later, wait outside the VIP lounge.

He Jiayi nodded eagerly, Okay, okay. Good thing the journalist you found is dependable.

Ye Baoling took three bottles of the newly packaged Jasmine Iced Tea from A Jian, stuffed them into her handbag, and hurried toward Gate 3.

Ryan’s surname was Lai, full name Lai Yancong. He was under thirty, tall, lean, and very efficient.

With a camera hanging around his neck, he handed a work pass to Ye Baoling.

Entering through Gate 3 and following the corridor, the press area was to the left, while the guest lounge was to the right.

At that moment, the match was in full swing on the court. Lai Yancong informed her, Xian Bi just took the field. He’ll probably return to the lounge in about 15 minutes.

Alright, I’ll wait for him here.

OK, I’ll keep an eye on Xian Bi the whole time and act when the opportunity arises. Lai Yancong was clearly much more reliable than the agent.

Ye Baoling took out a bottle of Jasmine Iced Tea from her bag, contemplating how to find the right moment to communicate with Xian Bi.

After about twenty minutes, He Jiayi and the others still hadn’t arrived. Judging by the alternating cheers from the court, Xian Bi had likely finished his friendly match and was taking a break.

Sure enough, soon a staff member rushed in first.

Following closely, a group of people surrounded the 2-meter-tall Xian Bi as he walked toward her, trailed by several reporters.

Was this unreliable agent even capable of contacting his real manager?

They probably had no idea what Leaf Pure Tea was.

This was the moment that tested one’s adaptability and courage.

And thick skin!

Only with thick skin and no fear of embarrassment could one succeed.

In her urgency, Ye Baoling called out, Hamish! I am here!

Xian Bi indeed looked over. A local beauty was greeting him, and her expression made it seem like she was looking at an… old friend.

Who was this?

Dressed impeccably in expensive designer clothes, she looked like a wealthy heiress.

Xian Bi had met so many people in Port City over the past two days that he was having trouble distinguishing between Eastern faces.

Catch! Ye Baoling smiled and tossed the Jasmine Iced Tea in her hand. Xian Bi caught it effortlessly.

The ball king was different after all—he caught it with impressive style.

He laughed and said in English, It’s you! Oh, my friend, we meet again.

He really knew how to play along. Xian Bi was quite the actor.

Ye Baoling suppressed a laugh.

The two exchanged a symbolic hug.

Ye Baoling noticed Lai Yancong giving her an OK gesture from a distance. He must have captured the moment Xian Bi caught the iced tea.

Now, she could gracefully retreat.

But Xian Bi was quite talkative and genuinely treated her as a friend. The weather in Hong Kong is just awful.

Too humid, hard to breathe, right?

Yes! Oh, it’s terrible, my God.

As they walked toward the lounge chatting, the staff assumed they were friends.

Since Xian Bi was American, Ye Baoling naturally switched to American English to converse with him. Did your manager mention it? I wanted to discuss an endorsement deal with you today.

Which endorsement? Quite a few businesses had approached Xian Bi for endorsements recently.

Ye Baoling pointed to the drink in his hand. Leaf Pure Tea. Have you tried it? It’s Chinese herbal tea. Leaf Pure Tea is the largest herbal tea company in Port City.

Oh, no.

Would you like to try it? The taste is completely different from cola, but it’s delicious!

Really? Xian Bi glanced at the drink in his hand, somewhat skeptical that it could taste good.

Really, give it a try.

Xian Bi twisted open the cap and took a large gulp.

Lai Yancong, amidst the crowd of reporters, snapped a series of photos.

Oh! The flavor was different from what he had imagined—sweet with a subtle jasmine tea aroma. It was actually quite tasty. He gave an exaggerated thumbs-up. Very Good!

That’s really very good.

Author’s Note:

Ye Huaizhang: My wife is quite outstanding.

Ye Baoling: Just quite?
