Chapter 96: Chapter 95: An Invitation from Honey Jar Ice City

"Wow, you actually got Jingchuan Xiaoyu to promote your product? That must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Lin Xinyue was somewhat surprised; she really hadn't expected Gu Yu to manage to hire a major influencer with tens of millions of followers for promotion!

The advertising expense must be substantial!

She had researched before and knew that for influencers of Jingchuan Xiaoyu's caliber on Dou Ying, a single video promotion typically costs over one hundred thousand yuan!

So Gu Yu had just doled out over a hundred thousand yuan in advertising fees to promote the company's game?

Was he that confident in his company's product?

Looking at the game interface she had just set up on her phone, she hadn't started playing yet.

Initially, she downloaded the game out of curiosity, but now she was examining it from the perspective of a company product operations officer.

She wanted to see how enjoyable a game was, one that could make her boyfriend willing to spend over a hundred thousand yuan on advertisements for its promotion!

Gu Yu was just about to tell Xinyue that getting Jingchuan Xiaoyu for promotion didn't cost him anything.

But seeing her picking up her phone and focusing all her attention back on the game, Gu Yu opened his mouth but ended up saying nothing.

Anyway, he would leave the operations to Xinyue later, and she could find out for herself.

While Xinyue was playing, Gu Yu fed her food.

He found that in this state, Xinyue would eat anything he fed her, and it was quite amusing!

It was only when Lin Xinyue's mouth was too full, resembling a little hamster, that he stopped.

Meanwhile, Boss Pu seemed to have got the hang of things.

It was unclear what he was saying to Hu Xiaoya, but he had her bursting into laughter repeatedly.

Yu Shutong and Qin Shan were engrossed in playing Glory; both were gritting their teeth, and it was apparent that the game was not going well.

There were also some girls who appeared to be students from Haidong University holding up their phones, taking photos from a distance towards him and Lin Xinyue.

He was used to this kind of situation by now, so he didn't pay it much attention.

As long as these people didn't come over to disrupt his daily life, it was fine.

Looking around, he felt a bit tired.

He prepared to rest his head on the table for a while.

Just then, a man in his around thirties wearing a blue and white checked shirt and slick, combed-back hair walked in from the entrance.

"Supervisor Qi!"

"Supervisor, Gu Yu and Xinyue are over there..."

Several staff members paused their tasks to greet the man, and the manager pointed towards Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue by the window.

Qi Fenghua nodded and gestured for everyone to continue with their tasks.

His purpose here was to find Gu Yu, according to the instructions from the headquarters. Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He walked directly towards the young couple sitting by the bay window.

"Excuse me... are you Mr. Gu?"

Qi Fenghua approached the young man, lightly tapping the table.

Lin Xinyue was engrossed in her game, glanced up, didn't recognize the man, and thus remained silent.

Gu Yu squinted and looked up, also noted an unfamiliar face, and thinking it was some media coming to interview him, promptly declined:

"I'm not accepting interviews, sorry..."

Qi Fenghua was momentarily stunned, watching as Gu Yu laid back down, realizing he had been mistaken.

He quickly clarified, "Mr. Gu, I'm not a journalist. I'm the regional manager of Honey Jar Ice City, Qi Fenghua. I heard you were at our headquarters store in Haidong, so I hurried over to have a chat with you."

Having said that, he wiped the fine sweat that had appeared on his forehead from rushing.

The headquarters had been urging him since yesterday to quickly find a new campus promotional representative for the Haidong area, but he hadn't found a suitable candidate yet.

In previous years, they usually just partnered directly with Haidong University's campus ambassadors, so he didn't need to find people himself.

However, late last night, he suddenly received a message from the headquarters' PR department that their campus promotional representatives for the area, Bi Jian and Shu Yinyin, had been detained by the police!

The headquarters instructed him to withdraw the related endorsements immediately and replace the spokesperson within three days.

Though withdrawing endorsements was easy, finding a new spokesperson quickly was not!

He had spent the entire day filtering through the prep list to find suitable candidates, only to realize none were quite right.

This drove him crazy!

After all, changing a spokesperson was meant not only to mitigate the impending negative impact from Bi Jian and Shu Yinyin but also literally to endorse!

Honey Jar Ice City, being a major brand among milk teas, surely couldn't just pick someone random, could they?

Wouldn't that degrade the brand's class?

He couldn't afford such a responsibility.

So after much thought, he finally found someone outside the prep list—Gu Yu!

This "National Husband," already half famous on Dou Ying, was definitely the best choice for a campus spokesperson at the moment!

Therefore, he instructed all stores to immediately notify him once Gu Yu appeared!

True enough, in less than a day, he "caught" Gu Yu.

Young people really couldn't resist the charm of milk tea!

He had guessed right!

Qi Fenghua casually pulled over a stool and sat down in front of Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue.

Gu Yu raised his head again, not understanding what the Honey Jar Ice City manager wanted to discuss, so he took the initiative to ask, "Hmm? Supervisor Qi, what did you want to talk about?"

While talking, he cut a small piece of tiramisu and fed it into Lin Xinyue's mouth.

He glanced at Lin Xinyue's phone and discovered she had already lived to be over four hundred years old and had successfully started the immortal cultivation storyline!

That's not scientific!

The first time he played, he had played over a dozen times and hadn't initiated the immortal cultivation storyline!

Up until now, he hadn't seen anyone live past a hundred years on their first try, and he was one hundred and twenty percent clear on how absurd Qin Shan's storylines could get!

Unless she's the ultimate lucky goddess! The type who started with three top-tier talents!

So to say, the lucky goddess is my girlfriend!!?

Gu Yu was so engrossed in the game, Qi Fenghua started to get restless.

What game is this young man playing?

He just spoke up! He threw a handful of dog food, and now he's silent?

He quickly coughed.

"Ahem, Mr. Gu."

"Uh, oh, sorry, please go ahead!"

Gu Yu then turned back, realizing he had ignored Qi Fenghua and smiled awkwardly.

Qi Fenghua first handed Gu Yu his business card from his pocket, then started the conversation.

"Mr. Gu, what do you think about Honey Jar Ice City?"

He revealed a standard smile, intending to probe Gu Yu's impression of the brand as the opening to their conversation.

True enough, Gu Yu nodded.

"The milk tea tastes alright, the service attitude is good, and the store decoration is nice too…" Gu Yu listed three points, and then feeling it was a bit lacking, added, "The accompanying snacks are also good, my girlfriend really likes them."

As he spoke, he stuffed another piece of cake into Lin Xinyue's mouth.

This time Lin Xinyue reacted, freeing her hand to gently slap him, her mouth full of cake as she complained, "Meanie! You keep feeding me without warning! I'm going to get fat!"

Gu Yu grinned, "Getting fat is good! Good to get a bit chubby!"

Qi Fenghua, sitting across from them, watching their occasional public display of affection, felt like he had turned into a thousand-watt light bulb.

How could he, a thirty-year-old singleton, stand this!

Although he felt a bit jealous, he was happy with Gu Yu's response.

Since the impression was good, he could now cut straight to the purpose of his visit.

"Haha, your romance is even sweeter than our Honey Jar Ice City's red bean milk tea! Truly enviable!"

"That being said, Mr. Gu, the reason I came here is to represent Honey Jar Ice City in extending an invitation to you to become our spokesperson."

"We sincerely hope you and our brand could engage in deep cooperation!"
