Chapter 220

Chapter 220 - The Peasants That Were Unrelated to the Matter Were Chased out

Perched atop a roadside sculpture, Chu Wenwen harbored little optimism for the journey ahead. The prospect of successful negotiations aside, even a favorable outcome seemed bleak: modest profits at best and no significant boost to her public profile. After all, how much attention could a broadcast in a single locality garner? There was a risk of being pigeonholed as a perpetual extra, never breaking into the limelight.

Despite her reservations, Wenwen didn't want to disappoint Zhang Xiaolong and herself, given their eager involvement. She had been at a crossroads for years; if her career was destined to crumble, so be it.

However, as the car entered the premises of a substantial corporation, she looked up to see the grand inscription: “Soaring Dragon.” She was taken aback. “This company looks quite impressive!” Wenwen remarked, her surprise evident.

?This was no obscure workshop but a major player with top-tier capabilities, a far cry from her initial assumptions.

“It's decent,” Xiaolong replied with understated pride. “The drink has great potential. Trust me, endorsing it won't be something you regret. I believe it will resonate with many, and they'll come to appreciate you too!”

?Wenwen couldn't help but chuckle. Typically, endorsements hinged on a celebrity's draw, with their fame driving product sales. Yet, Xiaolong's approach seemed reversed, as if the beverage was the star and she, the product poised for popularity.

“I know Xiaolong sounds overconfident,” interjected Yang Jingjing with a knowing smile, “but honestly, this beverage brand seeks a spokesperson not for their star power or fanbase, but for a wholesome and healthy image that can intuitively convey the drink's appeal. Sales are the end goal, but it's not about riding on celebrity coattails. The company could easily secure a top-tier star if that were the case.”

Wenwen felt reassured by Jingjing's clarification. The company's scale was a testament to its strength. With a renewed sense of expectation, she allowed herself to entertain the possibilities that lay ahead.

“By the way, do you know about the Elegant Dragon brand's beverage?” Chu Wenwen suddenly inquired.

“Yes,” Zhang Xiaolong and Yang Jingjing exchanged a knowing smile.

“We're here to perform at their invitation this time, but unfortunately...” Chu Wenwen let out a sigh.

“There's no need for regrets,” Yang Jingjing chimed in with a smile. “Who knows, there might be a surprise in store?”

Chu Wenwen took a deep breath and nodded earnestly, “Right, I'll face whatever comes my way. Even if I can't make it in this industry, I'll always remember all of you. You've been my benefactors.”

But as Su Mei pointed out, Elegant Dragon Drinks didn't rely heavily on advertising to drive sales. Hence, it wasn't a major concern for Chen Yaru.

Unexpectedly, the conversation had shifted to her, and just as she was about to respond, the conference room door swung open.

Three people entered, and Mrs. Yang turned to see that the first was the farmer who had confronted her in the Donghua parking lot, followed by Chu Wenwen. Anger welled up inside her.

“What are you doing here?” Mrs. Yang demanded, pointing at Zhang Xiaolong. “How did you manage to get in?”

“If you're allowed to be here, then certainly I can be too,” Zhang Xiaolong replied, unfazed. “Besides, I'm under no obligation to report my actions to you, am I?”

Chu Wenwen, trailing behind him, was taken aback to encounter Cheng Yanyan and Mrs. Yang again, momentarily speechless.

She didn't believe that Zhang Xiaolong was deliberately messing with her; instead, she experienced a sudden epiphany. Could the beverage endorsement they had just mentioned be the very goal she was aiming for — Elegant Dragon Drinks?

The memory of the secretive smiles shared by Zhang Xiaolong and Yang Jingjing when she inquired about Elegant Dragon Drinks convinced her it had to be them.

Was he actually friends with the CEO of Elegant Dragon Drinks? He certainly couldn't be just an average farmer!

“Director Chen, Manager Su, we have absolutely no connection with them,” Mrs. Yang, concerned they might be leveraging her name for entry, quickly disassociated herself. “Shouldn't we have security remove these unrelated farmers before we proceed with our meeting? Allowing such individuals inside is truly damaging to our company's reputation.”

She cast a contemptuous glance at Zhang Xiaolong and his group, smugly thinking about the embarrassment they were about to face.

“Irrelevant farmers?” Su Mei inquired, her interest clearly piqued.
