The seller immediately sent a message. 'Hello, I've observed that your business has turned brisk after advertising on XX Web. But my business is not getting the same results.'
So, it was about business. Then Su Yue suddenly recalled that this was the company that advertised on XX Web alongside hers. 
She replied, 'Business hasn't improved for you?'
The seller replied, 'Not as much as yours.'
Su Yue could sense the envy and jealousy in her tone. 
Without waiting for Su Yue's reply, she sent another message. 'Aish. I spent 120,000 dollars for a day's worth of advertising. It took me three months to earn back the money.'
120,000 dollars? Su Yue blinked in confusion. How was that possible?
Su Yue replied, 'Wasn't it free, in celebration of China's national day?' 
The seller replied, 'What was free?'
Su Yue answered, 'The advertising.'
The seller replied, 'How's that possible? It cost me 120,000 dollars for 24 hours of advertising. And I had connections to arrange it for me too.'
Su Yue's mouth widened in shock… Her hands froze above the keyboard. 
Didn't the operations manager say that a few businesses were selected and given free publicity?
Not all of them were given free advertising?
She received another message and glanced at it. The seller was still complaining that her business was not as brisk as Su Yue's. 
Su Yue ignored it and closed the chat. 
But it still troubled her. Why was it free for her?
Could her third sister-in-law or brother be helping her in secret?
She immediately picked up her phone and dialed Su Yan's number. Then she scrolled through her chat history. 
She wanted to find the operations manager and ask about it. 
"Hello, Brother?" Su Yue greeted when he picked up. She asked in agitation, "Tell me the truth. Were you the one who arranged for XX Web to give me free advertising on China's national day?"
All the while, she believed that the advertising was free. After careful thought, indeed, it was too good to be true. 
Even if it were true, there were so many online shops that sold goods from China. Why would they choose her relatively new business? 
She could confirm that someone was helping her on the sly. 
"It wasn't me," Su Yan denied. 
Su Yue frowned, half-believing him. "Really?"
He didn't sound like he was lying. 
Besides, if it were really him, there wasn't a point in denying it anymore since the advertising was already over. 
Su Yue scrolled through her chats for a long time. 
She stared at the screen. 
Suddenly, a familiar username came into vision. She remembered it because he was her first actual buyer. The rest was her friends who were trying to support her. 
When Will The Bright Moon Arrive!
"It wasn't me. You should ask Xuxu," Su Yan replied. 
"Oh… I've got it," Su Yue replied absent-mindedly before ending the call. 
Then she placed her phone aside and clicked on her chat with 'When Will The Bright Moon Arrive'.
She scrolled all the way to the first message. 
The day where he made his first order. 
That day, she was so excited, she couldn't sleep. She cried for a long time, hugging Jiao Chen's photo. 


Wen Xuxu is a tenacious, talented, smart and brave woman who was fostered by the Yan family at the age of four when she lost both her parents. 

Brought up to be the successor of a huge conglomerate, Yan Rusheng is an aloof, intelligent and arrogant man who is the most sought-after bachelor in the capital city. 

Despite growing up together, both of them seem to treat each other as an eyesore. She labels him as a jerk and womanizer while in his eyes, she is a shrew. 

Over time, they fall for each other, but they continue to conceal their feelings for each other. By a twist of fate, they are forced into a marriage. And unknown to everyone else and Yan Rusheng, she has harbored a deep secret for many years…

Sugary Scene： 

Suddenly, Wen Xuxu stretched her hand to clutch his wrist and pulled him forcefully. 
Yan Rusheng was caught off guard and he lost his footing. He fell on the bed and then his breathing became sluggish. 
Young Master Yan was afraid that he might lose control of himself and do something to Wen Xuxu... the woman he loathed. So he hastily raised his head. 
But he had barely moved away when Wen Xuxu stretched out her hands and put them around his neck. "Don't leave."

Yiming Consulting's meeting room.

Zhuge Wenbo handed a document to Zhang Guan, and then said, "The advertising contract of Daben Automobile is about to expire. I have contacted some car brands, but the prices given by the top big groups are not very satisfactory. The endorsement price issued by the KIA Automobile is quite good, 20 million a year, the advertising fee is not included. But KIA is not the top European and American car brand, and your last car advertisement is Mercedes-Benz. It's a bit big, so I have to ask about your idea."

"Why does KIA Automobile want to sign me? Isn't it Liu Feiren who has been getting these all the time?" Zhang Guan asked.

"KIA Auto's contract with Liu Feiren is almost expiring. It is said that a brand from GM in the United States is in contact with the field management center. Moreover, it seems that the signing of Liu Feiren by KIA Auto had already tasted the sweetness." Zhuge Wenbo said.

When the company entered the Chinese market, its sales were actually very poor. The people did not recognize the Korean brand. Later, the company spent money to sign Liu Feiren and let Liu Feiren endorse the model that Qianya just launched in China at the time. Maxiamium's sales in 2005 have increased substantially, reaching almost one-third of Shenji Jetta, and KIA Auto has gradually gained a foothold in the domestic market.

Zhang Guan remembered that KIA Automobile sponsored a commercial car for Liu Feiren. Zhang Guan sat in that car, and so far, Liu Feiren has not been willing to spend money to buy a new one.

"What is the specific model this time? Will it be a small car again?" Zhang Guan asked.

"The information is that the two cars that were newly launched last year, Cerato and Lion Run. These two cars are not yet listed in the country, but KIA revealed that if you agree to the endorsement, you will discuss with them and introduce these two cars into the country." Zhuge Wenbo went on to say, "In addition, I also proposed to KIA Auto a global advertising strategy, if possible, it is best to enter advertising into European and American countries."

"Lion running is okay, domestic SUVs are just emerging, but SUV models in the United States are still quite popular." Zhang Guan suddenly remembered one thing, "Do I have to get a driver's license?"

"This is easy. If you want to take the test, I will arrange it for you." Zhuge Wenbo said.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it first." He Yiming interrupted the conversation between the two and then said, "Zhang Guan, but you made a lot of money this year, except for the personal income tax, the Shanghai Association and after deducting necessary expenses, there are more than 30 million remainings. Think about what to do next? "

"Surely continue to invest!" Zhang Guan said without hesitation.

"Oh, what are you investing in? The fund has been quite hot recently and is suitable for long-term investment. I have recently bought some and can introduce you to a few reliable fund managers." He Yiming continued.

"It's real estate!" Zhang Guan said.

"Real estate? That thing can be quite complicated. It is not easy to get everything approved for building a house for sale. Don't blame me for being honest. When 30 million is invested in real estate, there is a splash." He Yiming continued.

"He Ge, you misunderstood, I want to build a house, let alone I don't have that strength to do that. I wanted to buy the current house directly, it can be regarded as speculation!" Zhang Guan replied.

"Real estate? I wouldn't say that this is really profitable, at least it seems higher than the bank interest." Yiming said this but found Zhang Guan stared at him and immediately guessed Zhang Guan's meaning. So he went on to say, "Are you going to ask me to help you find a house again? Let's say, what kind of thing would you like, I'll contact someone to help you buy a house."

"The first-tier cities school district houses and they will not face the risk of demolition within ten years." Zhang Guan said directly.

"School district! Now the price is two or three times more expensive than ordinary houses, and it is also a first-tier city. You really can't buy a few sets with this money." He Yiming reminded me.

"It's okay, you can buy as much as you can!" Zhang Guan replied. As a person from the future, he knew how crazy the school district would be in the future. Especially after enrollment, the school district in the second experimental capital of Beijing the 30 square meters house was sold for ten thousand, the price of buying a house is enough for immigrants to go abroad to enjoy foreign school education.

Zhang Guan thought about it for a while, and then said, "In addition, I want to use some of the money for charity."

"Donating to charity? This is a good choice. Public figures should take on more social responsibilities and have a good reputation, which is also beneficial to your future development." Yiming continued and said, "I will help you contact the Red Club?"

Zhang Guan shook his head immediately. If he donates to the Red Cross, he might not know where his money would go. He continued, "I want to set up a charity fund to help some people who need help."

"Well, this running procedure will be a bit troublesome. There are many departments and many chapters. However, with your reputation and identity, there is no problem getting approval. If you want to do it, I support you. How much do you plan to invest first? To do public welfare in that respect?" He Yiming said.

"I have a preliminary plan. I want to start a free lunch plan. The main group is school-age children in poor areas." Zhang Guan then explained, "Although compulsory education has been implemented for so many years, there are many primary and secondary schools in poor areas. So lunch has also started to be free, but there are still many poor families who cannot afford to go to school. Many children start working outside when they are 12 or 13 years old to reduce the burden on poor families, and secondly, this is to encourage children from poor families to go to school."

"This idea is very good and necessary. I must support you." He Yiming said righteously.

Zhang Guan said, "I think the first step is to start from 20 schools in poverty-stricken areas and provide free lunches to students. For lunch, there should be dishes and soup, and it is best to have an egg or meat dish. I guess for a student in a school year, 500 yuan is enough. According to a school of 100,000 yuan, it is enough to take out 2 million in the early stage, and then gradually increase the investment. However, I may not have time to specifically implement this thing."

"You can recruit some volunteers in this regard, or directly spend some money to hire some local people." He Yiming wrote a few notes on the notebook and then said, "You don't have to worry about this matter, I specifically find a planner to get a detailed plan. After the Spring Festival, I will personally follow up on this matter, just wait for my good news."

...

Not long after the Spring Festival, He Yiming sent someone to send the relevant legal documents of the Charity Fund and the planning book of the free lunch plan.

The State has promulgated the "Regulations for the Management of Foundations", which requires that the original funds of non-publicly-funded foundations be no less than 2 million yuan, and must be the actual amount of funds received, and must have a standardized name, articles of association, organizational structure and full-time staff, also to have a fixed location and be able to independently bear civil liability, of course, you must also apply to the registration authority.

The application, draft articles of association, capital verification certificate, and location certificate are not difficult for He Yiming. The foundation is also named Champion Fund. The chairman is Zhang Guan and the deputy chairman is He Yiming. After the relevant legal texts and application documents are prepared, they are reported to the relevant departments. After waiting for the approval of the competent department, the champion foundation was established.

It takes a long time for the approval of a foundation. The average person would have to go through a lot of reviews, but Zhang Guan's use of his own money to set up a charity fund is a bit of a media trend, and many media immediately reported it. As soon as the offensive of public opinion came out, the foundation's approval work was quicker, and the relevant approvals came down within a few days.

On March 1, Zhang Guan held a press conference to announce the establishment of the Champions Foundation, and also announced the first plan of the Champions Fund, "Free Lunch". The dozens of sponsors behind Zhang Guan were not idle, and more or less put some blood on the spot, donated a sum of money to the champion fund, which is regarded as support for Zhang Guan.

However, those behind Zhang Guan are big companies. I don't know how much advertising publicity funds are spent every year. They spend some money to buy a good reputation. Large companies can count on this account and are willing to pay out the money.

The "free lunch" program is easy to say, but it is more complicated to implement. First, you need to select a sponsored school and communicate with the school and the local education department. The school itself is still very easy to communicate, but the local education department is going to be a lot of trouble. The so-called goose plucks hair. This fat meat can be taken out of the oil after a round of hands. This kind of purely charitable activity is organized by private equity organizations, but there is no penny for them, so not everyone is willing to do it.

...

A poor country.

In the new Education Bureau building, Pan Xiaoxian, the head of the Champion Fund's "Free Lunch" program, sat patiently waiting in the office, while the Director of Education in front of him was reading page by page of the "Free Lunch" plan.

The Secretary took it very seriously, at least on the surface. He put down the plan a few minutes later and said, "Mr. Pan, this plan is very detailed. You selected the four institutes in my county. Primary school and a middle school are located in five different townships. I have personally researched these five schools, and there are indeed many students from poor families who are studying. They can provide free lunches for poor students and solve certain difficulties for them, so that they can study with peace of mind, and become the pillars of society in the future, and reimburse the country. This is definitely a good thing, our education department is very supportive of this."

The next moment, the director's voice changed and then said, "However, our country's poor schools are not just these five, we are poor countries, and there are many schools that need help and need funding. If only these five schools, what should other schools do if they promote free lunch? Teachers and students in other schools will have ideas."

Pan Xiaoxian sounded a little bit wrong, and asked, "Director, what do you mean?"

"I think, your foundation can donate a sum of money to the education fund of our county, and then we will allocate according to the actual situation of each school to supplement the lack of education funds of each school so that teachers and students of other schools will also receive help, you can also carry out this free lunch plan." After the director finished, he lifted a box and took out a Chinese cigarette to light up for himself, waiting for Pan Xiaoxian's reply.

[Present Time || New York]


A mysterious man working as a prostitute in a notorious nightclub, hides a secret from the world. The 'dire need' forces her to stumble upon him, on a fortunate night.


What will happen when a female tycoon vampire is out, thirsty for the life of her own not-so-ordinary mate once again, unknowingly!


The way Ting Ying was talking and behaving seemed strange, and both Zhang Zian and Luo Qingyu felt a little awkward dealing with her. Luckily, she had chosen what she wanted quickly and went to go check out.
She bought a lot of different things. Zhang Zian wanted to ask her whether she needed express delivery, but she asked first. "Mr. Store Manager, do you have shopping bags here?" 
"No." Zhang Zian shook his head. 
"Really? What a shame." In the movie Nine Lives, shopping bags printed with the name Purrkins Pet Shop were provided to its customers. 
Zhang Zian didn't know why it was such a shame. What's the use of them? He thought, Nowadays everyone is advocating for environmental protection, and plastic bags pollute the environment... 
"Mr. Store Manager, I have a suggestion," she advised seriously. "You should find someone on the internet to customize paper tote bags for you and give them to your customers for free. When customers buy a certain number of items, they can put their products in the bag and carry it home. This is what a lot of prominent small stores do. It doesn't cost much, but it's an effective way to promote your store. For example, wouldn't it be nice to print the name, address, and logo of your shop on the front, and a huge QR code on the back of the tote bag? When customers carry the bags on the street, they're practically advertising for you." 
D*mn it! What an excellent idea!  Zhang Zian surprisingly exclaimed to himself.  He was also annoyed that he hadn't thought of the idea before on his own. Especially the idea of printing a QR code on the back of the bag. There's always somebody who can't help but scan it. How many free advertising opportunities he had missed? How many times he had let the chance of becoming a billionaire slip by?
Ting Ying pointed to Lu Yiyun who was burying her head into her drawing. "This is just my advice, as for the specific design of the front of the tote bag, you should absolutely invite Yun to finish it. She is such a good artist, and she also has beautiful handwriting. I'm sure she can design an extraordinary original tote bag." 
Zhang Zian excitedly made a decision, "Your suggestion is just wonderful! My previous plan was to give you 20% off, but I will give you 25% off now!" 
Luo Qingyu couldn't help but chime in, "Just give her 30% off. Why only 25% off?" 
"I will suffer too much loss if I give her 30% off." Zhang Zian rolled his eyes at Luo Qingyu. 
Ting Ying was much happier than he was. To some extent, she felt like she had become a part of this pet shop. Through the advertising, more people would be able to find happiness here. It was also the exact reason that she immediately said yes when Zhang Zian asked her if she wanted to become a member of the pet shop. She left her contact information and made an agreement with Zhang Zian that when the tote bags were made, she would be the first one to receive a free tote bag. 
Lu Yiyun raised her head confusingly when she heard her name mentioned in their conversation. She didn't know what they were talking about, but they looked at her from time to time. She was a bit shy, and she quickly helped Ting Ying handle the membership card and checkout procedure.
At that time, a van parked beside the sidewalk. A courier wearing a cap and a uniform took out the waybill to check it carefully, and then looked at the sign of the Amazing Fate Pet Shop. After confirming that this was the correct place, he jumped off the van and quickly walked into the store.
In order to show that he still existed, and to make Zhang Zian owe him another favor, the clamorous Luo Qingyu suggested various poor ideas, but all his ideas were rejected by Zhang Zian.
"Is Mr. Zhang Zian here?" the courier asked.
"That's me." Zhang Zian took two steps toward the courier. He didn't recognize the uniform of the courier company.
The courier straightened his cap and glanced at Zhang Zian, then said in a business-like tone, "Because it is a valuable item, please show me some ID."
Zhang Zian took out his wallet and presented his driver's license.
Luo Qingyu temporarily closed his mouth. He was somewhat curious about the so-called "valuable item." Could it be an inflatable doll imported from Japan? he thought.
The courier confirmed Zhang Zian's identity and said, "Please wait, I'll bring in the goods."
"Let me help you." Zhang Zian knew that it must be the Ashera cat, so he followed the courier outside. The courier thanked, unlocked the compartment, and pulled open the door.
Just as Zhang Zian expected, what greeted him was an aviation wooden box approved by the United States Department of Agriculture. Although he knew there was only one cat in the box, the box was not much smaller than the box loaded with seven Abyssinian cats.
He did not go to Jinmen Airport to pick up the box this time. Firstly, his schedule did not allow him to do so. Secondly, he dared not recklessly pick it up because there were so many unknown details about the Ashera cat. What if it bit him when he put his hand into the box to pick it up? He also couldn't put it in his phone since the shipping employee was there. He helped the courier, and together they carried the wooden box into the store.
Seeing such a big box, to which a waybill and photo was solemnly attached, as well as the symbol of the United States Department of Agriculture on it, both Ting Ying and Luo Qingyu were curious about what on earth was inside the box.
The courier opened the box and said, "Please check it."
Zhang Zian looked inside and found a white plastic cage. In the dark box, a vigorous, leopard-like beast was staring straight at him. Its eyes were light green and exuded a wild luster. Each of its temples had an arc-shaped black line, and it looked much like a cloud leopard.
"Holy s**t! What the hell is this thing?!" Luo Qingyu took a peak from the side and exclaimed, but also instinctively lifted his camera to take pictures. Zhang Zian saw that the camera's flash was on, so he quickly pushed Luo Qingyu aside.
"Wow! What is this? A cheetah?" After only one glance, Ting Ying was so scared that she took a few steps back and was too afraid to look at it again.
Although this was also the first time that Zhang Zian saw this new type of cat, he had done enough homework in advance. After careful observation, he confirmed that it was indeed the Ashera cat that he ordered.
After Zhang Zian signed to acknowledge that the cat had been delivered, the courier was relieved and helped him open the wooden box, exposing the Ashera cat to the lights in the store. 
From the dark wooden box to the bright room, the Ashera cat couldn't adjust to the sudden change in environment, and its expression seemed hesitant and timid. Swinging its two large ears disproportionate to the size of its head, it carefully observed its new environment. It uttered a cry similar to that of a baby, which was not quite the same as other house cats. 
This cry was so peculiar that even Lu Yiyun, who was focused on her painting, shuddered. Looking away from the screen, she stared incredulously at this Ashera cat, and asked in a trembling voice, "Mr. Store Manager, is this the Ashera cat? It looks so fierce!" Her Jasmine was lying on her lap and nervously watching the uninvited guest.
"Ashera cat?" It was the first time Luo Qingyu and Ting Ying had heard this term.
Just as Zhang Zian started to explain, he saw that Fina, who had also been disturbed by the peculiar cry, had jumped off of the cat tree and appeared beside the automatic sensor door, looking the wild Ashera cat in its eyes.

"Uncle Xu, do you mean that this matter has something to do with the so-called Valley of Thousands of Medicine?" Guo Zhenghe asked.
"Yes, it has something to do with them," the middle-aged man said. "The person who sent you this information probably knows the inside story of this matter."
"Why did they find me?" Guo Zhenghe asked.
"He likely made some inquiries about you and knew some of your background," the middle-aged man said. "This person probably hates the Valley of Thousands of Medicine, but he cannot take revenge on them because his power is not that strong. He found you to take revenge for him through your connections. Of course, that is only a guess. It is only one possible reason. It may also be a righteous warrior who wants to get rid of violence and uphold justice. Because you are the local governor, he found you. "
"What I am listening to is like a story from a novel," Guo Zhenghe said with a laugh. He did not believe in the last possibility. In society, a person like that was rarer than a giant panda. It could basically be said they were extinct.
"Uncle Xu, what do you think I should do?" he asked.
"You don't even know who gave you this thing, so it is not easy to handle it. If this Valley of Thousands of Medicine exists, it should be thoroughly investigated. I will find out something about it first."
"OK, Uncle Xu, be careful," Guo Zhenghe said. "Based on the information provided, the valley is very good at poisoning. Don't get trapped into their pit."
"I know," the middle-aged man said. "I will let you know when I have any news. Wait for my information."
"Uncle Xu, take this with you. The password is your birthday." Guo Zhenghe took out a bank card and gave it to the man. "Remember, safety is most important. If there is any danger, immediately withdraw."
"Relax, Childe, I'm not doing this for the first time." The middle-aged man took the card, got up, and left the room.
Guo Zhenghe was sitting in the private room on his own, quietly smoking a cigarette.
He thought, Revenge on them through me. That is such an interesting idea. A strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Who the hell could it be?
…
In a city in the south…
"Are you sure?"
"Well, I am quite sure."
"He is dead, but who killed him?"
"I don't know anything about that."
"Investigate it thoroughly at once."
"I will try my best, Brother Zhang. This situation makes it unsuitable for you to make a public appearance. You know, you are still a wanted criminal!"
"Well, if you are afraid, you can report it to the police," said a man wearing a baseball cap.
"How could I do that? if it weren't you, I would have died there," replied a man wearing sunglasses who had a pale, yellow face. "Although my reputation is not good, I am not a cowardly person. Otherwise, I would not be sitting here talking to you."
"Well, I can't know everything about a person's character. It is complicated enough," the man wearing a baseball cap said.
Ah-ha!
"Apart from this matter, what else do you need me to do?" the man in sunglasses asked.
"It's alright. Keep this."
"Thank you."
When they came out of the tea house, the sky was a bit gloomy.
"Zhang, are there any major problems with your body?" the man wearing sunglasses asked.
"Well, I could not be healthier," the man wearing the baseball cap said.
"Well, enjoy life. Don't make yourself too tired."
"Enjoy life! That is impossible." The man pressed the brim of the hat and walked into the crowd.
It's impossible? The man wearing sunglasses lit a cigarette and walked in the opposite direction.
After fresh rain fell in the empty mountains, the autumn weather began to become clear. Around evening, the fifth rain since the beginning of autumn fell in the mountain village. It was not heavy, but it cooled the air.
No patients came to the clinic. When Wang Yao was preparing to close the door to go to Nanshan Hill when Zheng Weijun entered the clinic.
"Sir, all the equipment is in place," he said. "Should we go and have a look?"
"That was fast." Wang Yao was a little surprised. The equipment had just been delivered the last time he was there.
"I asked them to rearrange the construction period and catch up according to the schedule," Zheng Weijun said. "They worked overtime to get them installed for debugging."
"Yes, let us go and have a look at them," Wang Yao said. Besides, there were no patients in the clinic.
He locked the door and hung a sign on the door indicating the clinic was closed. He drove with Zheng Weijun to the Nanshan Pharmaceutical Company. Sure enough, the pharmaceutical equipment was mostly installed. The sanitation of the factory was quite good. It was clean. Some people had started debugging the equipment. For trial runs, it was powered through electricity or water. The speed was quite fast.
"Mr. Wang, what do you think about it? Are you still satisfied?"
"To be honest, I don't know anything about these devices," Wang Yao replied. "I'm just a layman, but I'm guessing that all of this was imported, right?"
"It was imported from Germany," Zheng Weijun said. "The equipment on Dongying's side is more suitable in this regard, but I don't like them."
"There is no need to have that feeling since we can sell them the products made by their devices." Wang Yao laughed.
This was akin to the beating foreigners by learning from their advantages.
"Sir, shall we make the medicine now?"
"Yes, let's make the medicine and see how it works," Wang Yao said. "Afterward, we can consider other medicines."
"OK, this is for you," Zheng Weijun said.
"It is estimated that it will take more than a month to install, debug, and be accepted by consumers. That is to say, we can start producing at the end of November or early December."
"OK!"
The process of producing medicine, promoting it to the market, and it being accepted by consumers would take a long time. It also depended on the effect of advertising, as well as the efficacy of the medicine.
"Sir, I plan to start advertising in December," Zheng Weijun said.
"Promotion?"
"That is correct."
"What about the estimated investment?" Wang Yao asked.
"In the first phase, I guess it should be $700,00 or $800,000, right?"
"That much!"
"It is necessary to look at the effects before we consider the second period of advertising costs," Zheng Weijun said. This was something he was relatively good at it. In his family business, he was mainly responsible for advertising.
"What do you think about trying to do it without any advertising?"
"Without advertising?" Zheng Weijun was stunned for a moment. "Do you mean only going through formal channels?"
"Well, we can just count on reputation," Wang Yao said.
"Sir, in the market economy, reputation is only one aspect," Zheng Weijun said. "At the same time, advertising is also essential."
"I'm just making suggestions," Wang Yao said. "You can decide those things."
"OK." Zheng Weijun was slightly relieved. He was worried Wang Yao didn't want to advertise. He only wanted to use the accumulated reputation of his medicine to hit the market. Zheng Weijun, on the other hand, was a businessman. He knew what was required in business.
"Most of these devices are not necessary for this medicine," Wang Yao said.
"They will be usable in the future," Zheng Weijun said.
"Sir, I have found a stone to put in the place you said last time," he said. "Would you like to see if it is appropriate?"
"OK, let's go and take a look," Wang Yao said.
The two men, who were holding umbrellas, went to the location they had visited last time. The originally empty place was covered by a uniquely shaped stone.
"Lingbi Stone?"
When he looked at the stone, Wang Yao knew what type it was.
"You are so terrific," Zheng Weijun said. "How do you also know about stones?"
Lingbi Stone was a famous stone. It was a Feng Shui stone used in many places.
"Isn't this stone cheap?" Wang Yao asked.
"$200,000."
"Oh, it's fine." Wang Yao smiled. Rich people were different. They were willing to spend so much money to buy a big rock. In fact, he thought that it would have been good enough to put a rock from Beishan there. It was not much worse than this gallstone.
"Do you think its location is inappropriate?" Zheng Weijun asked.
"No, it's fine here," Wang Yao said.
The air there was now smooth and comfortable. Previously, the air had been blocked.
Ring! Ring! Zheng Weijun's cellphone suddenly rang. He looked at the phone number. His frown was slightly wrinkled.
"Sorry, sir, I need to take this call."
"Please go ahead," Wang Yao said.
"Hello."
"Are you so estranged from me that you even don't call me brother?"
"You don't have to be so fake. Just say something straightforward for a change," Zheng Weijun replied.
"I'm in Qi Province. Will you be free tomorrow? I want to meet you."
"I'm busy," Zheng Weijun said.
"Are you too busy to have lunch?"
"Tomorrow at noon," Zheng Weijun said.
"OK, I'll look for you then."
Although he was some distance away from Wang Yao, Wang Yao heard it.
He thought, It looks like the relationship between those brothers is not good.


In an inaccessible village, there were a few houses on the hillside. 
People from far away were attracted here and the mountain road was crowded with luxury cars, because, in this town, there was a young man with incredible medical skills  who could cure all kinds of illnesses!

Geoff and I spent an hour talking on the phone last night. He told me about the life he had in Australia. It was tough but he managed to finish his master's and doctorate degree in University of Adelaide. While studying, he worked part time in a hotel. The owner of that hotel is his father's friend. He was treated like an ordinary employee as part of his training. After graduating, he became a hotel manager in the same hotel for 5 years. He kept himself busy with his work. He wanted to stay there for good since he was free to do anything he wanted and at the same time he could travel and relax anytime but his father went ill 4 years ago so he had to come back home and take over the management of Liberty Group. After his father's death, he took all the responsibilities of the company making him so busy. Based from his story, he really never missed me because if he did, he would have wanted to come home and look for me. He's a liar. I can't trust him 100% yet.


I woke up the next day feeling more refreshed and livelier than usual. Today is also the day I will be having an interview with my prospective teammates. This is the first time for me to do this one. Before, I felt nervous and I didn't think I have the abilities for the job, but now, I feel excited. I may make mistakes while on the job, but I know I can learn from those mistakes.


I arrived at the office early as usual. Everyone seems busy with their personal stuff, some women are putting make up, while some men gather to chat. I think everyone is still not in the mood to work. I reached my desk with a yellow note on top next to my company laptop. It read "Can't wait to see you. – G" 


G might stand for Geoff or it can be for Genie as well. How can he send items like these without anyone noticing? Is that how powerful a CEO is? Does he have an access to this building?


I ignored my thoughts and prepared to work. I reviewed the resumes of the applicants I will be interviewing today. When Mr. Smith arrived, he called me to his office.


"The Liberty Group CEO's secretary called me this morning and notified me that the he wants to meet you at 10am today to talk about his advertising plans for his company. He also said that we can get the signed contract after your meeting. You have to go Liberty Group's Main office." He said. "I actually requested to join you for the meeting but he said the CEO doesn't want to meet anyone but the leader of his company's advertising campaign." He doesn't look so happy while saying this.


"How about the interview with the applicants? Some of them are scheduled at 10am?" I was actually a bit happy to see him early today but I'm the type of person who always follows schedule. I feel stressed if I couldn't finish the things I planned to do for the day. And this sudden schedule is giving me stress.


"Don't worry about your task today. I will have someone to cover it for you." Mr. Smith.


I can feel disappointment from the way he speaks. I guess he also wants to meet the CEO and thank him personally for the opportunity but since he is the client, Pines Advertising has to oblige to his requests.


"I will tell the CEO that you are grateful for the opportunity he has given to our company. I will make sure to say nice things about you and boost our company profile to him. Don't worry Mr. Smith." I tried to reassure him. As  a businessman, I think he just wants to make sure his company will continue getting projects like this and meeting important people gives the company those opportunities.


"Thank you, Jessica. I think it would be good  to do that." His eyes lighten. "Before heading to their office, can you drop by a tea store downtown? Choose the most expensive one and give it to the CEO as a gift. This way, he can feel our sincerity."


"Sure, Mr. Smith."


I started packing my things and was about to leave when my phone beeped. It is a message from Geoff. 


"Someone will be picking you up. Please be safe my love."


I didn't reply. I will just show my appreciation later. 

I arrived his office 30 minutes earlier than the scheduled meeting. I was ushered to his office right away.


His office is so spacious. I can't help but feel small. His office is bigger than my apartment unit. He was busy signing some documents when I arrived, he glanced at me for a moment then continued what he was doing. He is wearing glasses which make him look so sexy. He looks very cool, totally different from the man I met yesterday.


I sat down in a sofa and tried to make myself busy. The office looks like a hotel room except the bed. It has a mini-bar where bottles of expensive drinks are displayed. The glass window is draped with thick gray curtains blocking sunlight from outside. 

After about 10 minutes, he finally stood up from his chair and sat down next to me. He hugged me tightly and leaned his head on my shoulder.


"I was quite busy studying some contracts we have from other companies. I missed you. I even had to use my position to see you." He said.


"Sorry, Mr. President. I came here as a worker and not as your girlfriend. I was told that we would have a meeting about your advertising plans for your company." I explained.


"I chose you for this project not because of adverts. I hired you so I can spend time with you anytime I want." He started playing with my ears with his fingers.


"If you read my diary, you should know by now that I don't play around when it is my time to work. I don't want to waste my company's resources for unnecessary things." I explained.


"I am willing to pay for your time to play with me." He started kissing me. My brain wants to resist but my body says otherwise. I kissed him back with our tongues playing. I could feel his hands in my waist and I put my arms around his neck.


"Do you want me to stop?" He asked.


I came to my senses and tried to push him but he kissed me again this time more aggressively. His hands are caressing all parts of my body and I don't want him to stop. When I felt his hand unhooking my bra, I moved backwards. 


"We have a 2-month rule." I reminded him.


He smiled, pulled me towards him and kissed my lips gently. "You are making me crazy. Why don't we get married now?" He asked.


"You said you can wait for me even it takes forever."


He laughed in response. "You're the boss my love."


"So what do you want for your company's advert? Do you have any celebrity you want to hire in particular? Or do you have anything  you want the advert to focus on?" I asked.


"Actually, we don't need to do much advertising. We became famous because we take care of our customers and guests. We make sure that they will recommend our hotels, restaurants and products to their friends and family because they were satisfied with them." He explained.


"Yeah. I noticed that. Most of your adverts focuses are interviews from clients and just introduction of your services and facilities. How could you manage to be on top without spending too much on advertising? I to him.


"We value all the people around us, that is our difference from other companies." He said confidently. His face is so near from my face again, making it difficult for me to concentrate.


"Can we talk about those things later? I only have half an hour to spend with you. I have to leave for a meeting at 11. We have 30 minutes to kiss." 


"How can you play around while working? Do you know I was supposed to interview applicants for my team at this time? I wanted to get to know them before hiring them because I want to work with people I can get along with and you asked me to come here, thinking that it is part of my work and here you are, just wants to play with me."


He was just smiling while listening to me. How can this man not be serious? "You're so cute."


I tapped his shoulder to make him stop. He is so childish, but I kind a like it. That is his charm I think. I just hope he doesn't use it with other girls.


"Sit on my lap." He ordered. "We have 20 minutes left."


I followed what he said without asking why. I am now sitting higher than him.


"Kiss me." He instructed. 

I was like a child following his orders. I kissed him passionately. I could feel traces of his fingers in my back and my shoulder. We kissed passionately, tongues playing.


After 20 minutes, our lips parted. "I have the energy to work now." He finally said. How childish!

I am Jessica Myers. 30 years of age. I am an introverted type of person who spends most of her free time at home, watching Netflix. I don't usually go out and I don't have a lot of friends. Despite my age, I still keep a diary with me and every time I want to share something to someone, I write it on my diary.

Everyone might think I am boring, but this is the life I am comfortable to live with. I was bullied as a student which makes me have a hard time trusting other people.

Like other women, all I want is to be loved. I hope to meet someone who can make me feel special, who can make me feel that despite my characteristics and despite my flaws, I can still be loved. I am an ordinary woman who wants to be pursued by a guy, receiving flowers, going on dates in cinemas or simply walking in a park. My ideal man? I just want to meet someone who is nice and who can listen to all my stories no matter how simple and boring they are.

I don't think I am a difficult person to deal with but why is no one liking me? I am an NBSB (no boyfriend since birth). And because of that, I have low self confidence. I think I am not capable to love and to be loved.

I hope someday, like in fairy tails, my pronce charming will come. I hope someone out there will see the beauty in me, maybe not physically but with my character. Don't get me wrong, I am happy with my life now but I am sure I will be happier to be spending it with someone.

Will someone come and rescue my lonely heart? Will I still get a happy ending like the characters in fairy tails? When can I experience the love I have hoped for?

"No, she can't be…" The color of blood completely disappeared from the squirrel's face. "The tiger demon said clearly that she could be exchanged for before the sun came out… clearly… Wah…."
Seeing that it was about to start crying again, Lonemoon rapidly filled its mouth with a fruit. It was a good demon, it was just too noisy!
"Little Mushroom, you…" He was just about to comfort it a little, when he suddenly felt a wave of demonic aura coming from the left side of the woods.
"It's the direction of the town!" reminded Yi Qing.
"Go back!" Lonemoon casually picked up the squirrel demon, turned and started flying towards that direction on his sword.
Before they came near, they heard a loud rumble, and some terrified cries. Outside the wall of the town, a huge tiger suddenly appeared. It looked to have already reached the fifth level. Its original body stood up to about the same height as the walls. At that time, it was attacking those thick walls with its front claws. Immediately, many bricks and stones fell to the ground, and the wall of defense was about to collapse upon its attack.
"Tiger… Tiger… Tiger King!" The squirrel recognized it with just one look. Its body shivered.
Lonemoon's eyes darkened. This saved them the time of looking for it. "Chef, it's time to put up an advertisement."
"Yes." Yi Qing nodded and was about to call out his sword.
"Never mind, I will go!" Lonemoon suddenly changed his mind and threw the squirrel to him casually. "If you go, it will be done within one wave of the sword." Advertising had to be magnificent, of course. The more high-end, the more astonishing, the better.
At that time, the tiger demon below had already made the city wall collapse. The people of the town fled in panic. The tiger demon roared loudly, leaped up, opened its big red mouth and was about to bite into the crowd. Suddenly, a golden light flashed.
A translucent barrier suddenly appeared in front of the crowd. Countless arrays appeared in the sky, shining with bright golden light which covered the whole town instantly. That barrier grew larger and larger, directly wrapping the whole town inside.
"Tiger demon, don't you do evil!" A low male voice seemed to come from the edge of the sky, filling everyone's ears instantly.
Seeing that the tiger demon couldn't surpass that barrier however hard it banged, the crowd which was at first in panic quietened instantly. Everyone looked up to the sky in shock. Only then did they see a man in flowing white clothes, standing upon the clouds, white light covering his body, making people unable to see him clearly, but naturally feel a sense of distance, the kind towards something too high to be reachable.
Yi Qing and Shen Ying sneaked into the crowd in silence and watched the large-scale show-off scene of Father Niu together.
Lonemoon's hands turned to make another seal. Immediately, another array appeared and fell down right towards the tiger demon underneath. A huge pressure crushed towards the demon down below. Its standing was destabilized instantly, and it was about to be suppressed down on the ground.
As though understanding that it couldn't overcome its opponent, the tiger demon turned in an attempt to escape. The person in the sky waved a hand, and a row of swords fell from the sky immediately, directly cutting off its way. One of them actually fell on its front claws. The tiger demon let out a cry of pain immediately.
That ethereal voice came once again. "Tiger demon, you are full of bloody grievous energy, breaking prohibitions, eating humans harms and threatens the region. Today, I will help the people of this town get rid of you scourge!"
With that said, he made a single-handed seal. Instantly, a huge sword appeared in the sky. It shone with golden light so bright that it was blinding. The tiger demon was terrified, and tried to run, but it couldn't move under the suppression of sword qi. It could only look at the giant sword falling down directly. The tiger demon's breathing stopped instantly.
All the townspeople froze in astonishment. After a long while, they were finally able to react. Their faces were full of excitement.
"That monster… is dead! That monster really is dead!"
"It's so good, we don't need to run anymore. He saved us, he killed that monster!"
"That person can actually fly. And he can kill such a big monster."
"Yeah! And those things just now… What is he after all?"
"Could he be… be… uh… be…"
The crowd couldn't figure out anything after a long while. Shen Ying who was looking on at the side smoothly finished the sentence for them.
"He's a god!"
The crowd was stunned, and then came to a sudden realization. They started shouting even more excitedly.
"Yes, yes. He's a god, definitely a god. A god has come to save us!"
"Only gods can do such godly deeds. He's definitely a god."
"A god has come down to to help us subdue the monster!"
The more they talked, the more excited they became. Some had already bowed towards Lonemoon's direction.
Shen Ying finally continued to nibble at her fruit. Hmm, how important was a supporter!
Seeing that the effect of advertising was pretty much achieved, Lonemoon finally dispersed the arrays all around, only keeping a few spells to illuminate the area, creating the atmosphere and showing off. After that, he finally looked down at the townspeople on their knees on the ground, while keeping his deep and incomprehensible business expression. He said with the same ethereal voice, 
"You don't have to bow to me. I came across this place on my way and did it without difficulty. Perhaps I am fated with this place, I shall give you some advice." He sighed and continued, "Right now, demons run free in the human world. Those predestined by fate can go to the immortal mountain in the East to ask for Dao from immortals, learn about the ways of overcoming demons, and solve this problem."
After that, he said no more, but turned and started flying towards the East on his sword. Soon, his figure had disappeared Even that dream-like light in the sky slowly dissipated, only leaving a huge tiger corpse outside the town gate.
The crowd looked at one another, and they started recalling the god's words before he left. To look for immortals, ask for Dao and learn about the ways to overcome demons. Did God mean that ordinary humans can also learn about immortal magic? Everyone's eyes brightened, and their face lit up with expectation. 
——————
A hundred yards away.
"Can we go home and cook?" Shen Ying leaned on the rock at one side, not wanting to move any more.
"Of course not!" refused Lonemoon.
"Hmm?" Shen Ying was stunned. I thought the advertising was done?
"How can advertising only once work? There's no Twitter here, the information transmission is slow. We have to go to more places and let everyone know about the matter of cultivation." He turned to look at the two people who only worked once as supporter throughout the whole time. "I alone will be enough for this matter, you both can't help anyway."
As he talked, he tore a person from the rock and threw her to Chef. "You both go to the place chosen last time, plant the immortal vein and build up the sect first."
"There's no problem with planting the immortal vein." Yi Qing frowned and answered. "But the houses…" Who's building it?
Lonemoon was stunned, only just realizing this problem.
Yi Qing frowned and said casually, "The places we lived in the past had already been there. The only one built was built by Rabbit. But we don't have Rabbit now…"
As he finished, three pairs of eyes turned together towards a certain little squirrel who sold mushrooms.
The squirrel shivered and immediately shook its head violently. "I… I can only plant mushrooms."
What do we want you for? This was the most useless small animal they had ever picked up.


Everyone says that Yi Qing is the number one sword cultivator in the world, with a swordsmanship and cultivation that no one can surpass. Whether it was when he was cultivating in the Lower Realm, or when he was in the Ten Heavens of the Upper Realm, he has always remained undefeated.

To that, Yi Qing laughs and says, “That is because you do not know of my Master. If we speak of cultivation, I am not as good as she by a long mile. Thinking about it, at the start, out of the ten Heavenly Emperors of the Upper Realm, my Master beat up nine, and the one left was myself.”

“Master? You actually have a Master! Who? Why haven't we ever heard of her?”

“My Master is… Eh? Master? Master! And my Master? Has anyone seen my Master?”

A person next to them quietly raised her paw. “I am here!”

-_-|||

The only problem Sheng Ying has after transmigrating is… that her level of presence is just too low!
