“… First, hold a cultural event called ‘Tea Ceremony of the World’ in Suhai, invite well-known media from inside and outside the province to participate, and give huge rewards to the top three. Second, ask some ghostwriters to publish articles in newspapers and magazines, with different viewpoints, such as one side praising Biluochun and the other praising Tieguanyin, to create momentum and attract attention through debates or verbal battles; Third,…”
Seeing that Fan Bo was already immersed in the passion of work, Wen Liang left Ye Zhiwei to talk to him in detail, and motioned An Baoqing to come to the corridor together. An Baoqing whispered: "Can this person be trusted?"
Wen Liang said calmly: "Whether he is reliable or not does not depend on his loyalty..."
Minister An Bao is not a person who would really take Fan Bo seriously. He smiled and said, "But this person is indeed talented. He looks gentle and refined, but he is unscrupulous when it comes to propaganda."
"This is the national situation. The current audience believes in all the information they hear and see, and is willing to consume and try under the guidance of this information. Fan Bo's strength is that he can grasp the 'point' that the audience is interested in in a mess, and then use various means and methods to infinitely magnify this point, large enough to attract them to take money out of their pockets..." Wen Liang sighed: "He is the best choice at present! We are not strong enough and have limited funds. We can only go with the flow and take advantage of the situation. Don't try to make any innovations and feats that transcend the times. Fan Bo will be responsible for publicity, and Ye Zhiwei will be in charge of the business management. All the strategies I told you before can be arranged... Suhai's market is huge, let's test the waters with Biluochun..."
In the early and mid-1990s, the Chinese market was fully demonstrating an irrational madness. Its vast territory, uneven levels of consumers, and the media's impulse to respond to news events made some products rise overnight and become famous across the country with just one inspiration or a set of plans. In this era full of temptation and charm, "Nothing is impossible, only unexpected" has become a motto that countless adventurers remember. With their greedy eyes and ubiquitous tentacles, they frantically gathered huge amounts of wealth that made people's eyes water, and then they either capsized and disappeared or rose in the waves of impact, composing one legend after another that went down in history.
Now that he has been reborn in this era, it would seem like a waste of God's generous gift if he doesn't do something. However, Wen Liang has lived two lives and knows that the business world is turbulent and unfathomable. One wrong move could result in the ship being destroyed and people dying, leaving the person unable to recover. So he carefully plans everything, striving to lay a solid foundation before seeking leapfrog growth.
Jiangdong and Suhai are his pair of wings!
Wen Liang tightened his sleeves and strolled down the street with his hands in his pockets after leaving the big world. A mural blue two-door Honda PRELUDE sports car stopped beside him, and the window slid down, revealing Zuo Yuxi's pretty face with a faint smile.
"I was still looking at your Nissan Duke, why did you change it to a Honda? Director Zuo, you change cars faster than I change clothes. Why do I feel more and more uneasy the more I look at it..."
Zuo Yuxi pursed her lips and smiled, but did not respond to his words. She turned the steering wheel, drove through the alley beside her, turned around and drove onto Xigong Road, heading straight for the East District.
Wen Liang tilted his head to look at her, put his hand down and said, "Ignore me? You have personality. I like that!"
"Well... don't..."
His fingers slipped through the hem of her shirt, lifted up her underwear and gently stroked the skin around her waist. Zuo Yuxi smiled and twisted her body: "Itchy, stop it..."
Wen Liang suddenly remembered a brilliant sign from a traffic police department in his previous life: "Don't touch anything while driving. If you touch anything, don't drive." Although there were no electronic eyes everywhere at that time, he still had a psychological shadow. He obediently withdrew his hand and asked, "Where are you going?"
Zuo Yuxi stared straight ahead, her voice sounding a little hoarse as she said, "Bishui Bay, that place... is where Yuting and I had a falling out!"
Clearwater Bay!
Although Wen Liang had never been there, he was familiar with these three words. In order to frame Wei Gang and to check Wei Chenfeng, Xia Fugui invited him to play in Bishui Bay for a night, and then dragged him into the trap when he returned to the city early the next morning.
Wen Liang smiled bitterly and said, "The Feng Shui there doesn't seem to be that good..."
Zuo Yuxi had promised to tell him everything about Tao Ran when he came back from Guanshan. However, after staying in Guanshan for three days and calming down, Wen Liang found that he did not have much desire to know the truth. No matter what, the Zuo Yuxi he liked was not in the past or in the future, but the woman with a sweet smile beside him now.
"If, I mean if, you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to tell me anything... Oh..."
The car stopped suddenly and Wen Liang stopped talking. He originally meant to sympathize with her, but Zuo Yuxi's reaction made him at a loss for words.
Zuo Yuxi turned around and looked at him quietly. Crystal clear mist slowly gathered in her eyes, but she resisted the urge to let it fall. After a while, she turned her head and looked out the window blankly. The trees on the roadside had withered, but could the friendship since they met also turn into scattered dust along with the dead leaves
She whispered, "Wenliang, don't you believe me?"
Trembling voice, hoarse voice, delicate back, at this moment Zuo Yuxi no longer had her usual coldness and sharpness. She was just a self-pitying girl, a little girl who was hurt by love!
Wen Liang was so smart that he immediately realized that she had misunderstood his words and thought that her unwillingness to listen to her explanation meant that she was unable to face the truth that might be revealed. He felt both angry and amused.
Originally, with the tacit understanding between the two, such a misunderstanding would never happen. Something must have happened in the past three days to make Zuo Yuxi so worried. Wen Liang put his arms around her waist from behind, gently hugged her, and said softly, "Why do you think so?"
Zuo Yuxi's body stiffened for a moment, but she let Wen Liang hold her and said, "Tao Ran told you something, right?"
Wen Liang suddenly realized that this was the problem! That day, Tao Ran said something irresponsible, saying how Zuo Yuxi treated him, so Wen Liang beat him up in anger. Otherwise, it would not be necessary to beat someone to death for just a verbal dispute.
Although he warned Tao Ran afterwards and believed that he would not dare to pass the word to Zuo Yuxi, he forgot that among the parties present, in addition to the two of them, Ning Xi, and Fan Bo, there was also a gossipy Liang Ru. With Zuo Yuxi's means, it was easy to get questions from her.
Wen Liang smiled bitterly again: "Yes, but..."
Zuo Yuxi turned around suddenly, tears streaming down her face, and said, "Then why didn't you tell me? Do you really think that I was... was... "
Tao Ran's original words were so filthy that Wen Liang felt his ears were dirty after hearing them, and Zuo Yuxi naturally couldn't say anything. Wen Liang always believed that his greatest strength was his willingness to think from others' perspectives and to be inclusive, so he understood how angry and uneasy a girl would feel after being heard by the person she loved, especially since he left for a few days and suddenly changed his mind when he came back. Anyone would probably misunderstand that he was deliberately avoiding...
Escape is fear!
Fear is suspicion!
"Idiot!" Wen Liang tapped her nose, wiped the tears from her cheeks, and said in a tone that had never been gentler, "Where is your former shrewdness? The reason I didn't tell you is because I didn't believe what he said. Since I didn't believe it, why should I use such words to affect your mood? What's more, I'm really afraid that after hearing it, you will get angry and kill someone. Wouldn't I be a widow for the rest of my life in vain?"
Zuo Yuxi's tears were still flowing, and she almost laughed at him again. She bit her lip to hold it back, looking very cute. She raised her head, her long eyelashes blinking, and said, "Really, you're not lying to me?"
Wen Liang took her hand, pressed it against his chest, put his forehead against her cold forehead, and whispered: "Listen to my heartbeat, its beat only makes sense when you are here!"
This was a love word he had never said before. Zuo Yuxi stood up and stroked his face with her right hand. Her eyes were filled with unforgettable attachment and intoxication. She said, "This is the first time I have cried for a man..."
Wen Liang felt the warmth of her palm and said, "I promise, this will be the last time!"
The small storm passed, and instead of affecting the intimacy and tacit understanding between the two, it added something new, or a new feeling, to the relationship that had always been going on naturally!
Zuo Yuxi wiped away her tears, looking very embarrassed, and drove silently without daring to look at Wen Liang. This childish behavior of Zuo Yuxi made Wen Liang speechless, so he had to pretend that he didn't see it and casually talked about the interesting things in Guanshan. When they arrived at Bishui Bay, the atmosphere in the car had become as harmonious as before.
Zuo Yuxi was not an ordinary little girl after all. She lost her composure just now only because she cared too much about Wen Liang. After venting her anger, she quickly realized that she was just worrying too much and acting unreasonable, while Wen Liang's tolerance and magnanimity had never changed.
He is there, right beside me!
Bishuiwan is located in the suburbs of the East District. It was built in the early 1990s and is famous for its hot springs and fishing. It is a favorite place for civil servants. In 1995, with the rise of luxury clubs, business has declined significantly, but there are still people who like hot springs and fishing who come here to stay and consume.
As Zuo Yuxi walked into the spacious and bright front hall, his gentle smile still concealed some worry and doubt. In fact, he had already noticed the problem in the car, but in order to comfort Zuo Yuxi, he did not have time to think about it carefully.
Although misunderstandings like the one just now can easily occur between men and women, he and Zuo Yuxi met in hard times, became friends when they were in obscurity, and have been through so many ups and downs along the way. Given her knowledge and intelligence, it is incredible that she would become so fragile just because of Tao Ran's words.
Either, even Zuo Yuxi cannot escape the famous saying "Women in love have low IQ"; or, Tao Ran must have been involved in some incident that made Zuo Yuxi vulnerable.
Wenliang prefers the latter!
“You’re here!”
