Xu Xiangbei came out of the Sun Car Repair Factory and received a call from Boss Peng. His voice sounded very excited: "Younger Brother Xu, tomorrow our factory can start trial production. You’re one of the shareholders, so you should come to our freezing factory for the ribbon-cutting. It’s best to get that Miss Xiao for the ribbon-cutting since there’s a celebrity effect."

The trial production is indeed a big deal. Xu Xiangbei was pleasantly surprised: "So soon for trial production? Didn’t we just receive investment from the commercial bank?"

Boss Peng said with a self-congratulatory tone: "Haha, I started preparing for this project two years ago. The production line for this freezing factory is ready-made, and we’ve already stocked up on the raw materials, so we can start production so quickly. When Boss Peng does things, I assure you, it’s reliable."

"Send me the factory address. I’ve never been there, and I’ll need to use my phone for navigation."

"Dr. Xu, you have another tough task. We need to find a spokesperson for the food products. You know some model female celebrities, just pick one to endorse for us. Don’t worry, we’ll definitely pay their endorsement fees."

Xu Xiangbei thought for a moment: "A spokesperson? Actually, getting Xiao Lin to endorse would be best, but she’s in Yanjing endorsing jewelry. I can only ask Gu Xinyan. She’s a rising film star, and her popularity is quite good."

"Hehe, as long as there’s a beauty’s face on our food packaging, we can’t possibly stick the face of an old man like me on it, right?"

Gu Xinyan sat in a wheelchair with a hardcover novel in her hand. After reading for a while, her gaze extended out of the bright window, falling on the sparkling lake in the distance.

Since coming to Earth Sea, she’s been filming every day. Although it’s fulfilling, it’s also quite annoying. Being able to sit leisurely by the window, read a novel, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the neighborhood is a form of enjoyment.

Ding, the elevator slowly ascended. Xu Xiangbei came over carrying a gold-label champagne and two crystal-clear glass cups.

Placing the glass cups and champagne on the coffee table, Xu Xiangbei grinned cheekily: "Miss Beauty, reading a book?"

Gu Xinyan’s beautiful eyes shimmered, with a blush flashing across her face: "Why are you inviting me to drink? Do you have some unspeakable motive?"

"Dear sister, don’t think too much. My motive is very simple; I just want to chat with you. Life is short; we live in this vast world but cannot do as we please, only going with the flow. Our fates are very similar, aren’t they?"

Gu Xinyan gave Xu Xiangbei a sidelong glance and said casually: "Speak human language."

"I need to ask you a favor."

Gu Xinyan showed an elegant smile. Her snow-white muslin dress could not cover her small white feet as she tucked them into the skirt: "What kind of favor?"

"Endorse our beef and seafood balls. Come with me to the factory for the ribbon-cutting tomorrow. The endorsement fee will not be short at all, and it’s a complete five-star treatment."

Gu Xinyan raised her elegant eyebrows: "Your beef and seafood balls? Do they need someone to endorse them?"

Xu Xiangbei’s tone was very determined: "Of course. Don’t underestimate it now at the start of production; in the future, it will be a brand with considerable potential value."

Gu Xinyan laughed and teased intentionally: "Oh, so I’m endorsing a future big brand. Our big brand President Xu, how much are you paying me for the endorsement? Since it’s a future big brand, the fee should be a bit higher, right?"

Xu Xiangbei wiped some cold sweat from his forehead: "Big sister, our factory has just been completed, and tomorrow is only the trial production. Could you charge a little less for the endorsement now? Once our sales massively increase, and our products are sold worldwide, you can charge more then."

Gu Xinyan softened her heart and let Xu Xiangbei off the hook: "Alright, considering your career is just starting, I’ll only charge you 999 bucks."

Knowing Gu Xinyan’s soft heart, only charging a thousand for the endorsement fee, Xu Xiangbei showed a sly smile, approaching Gu Xinyan, smelling the faint fragrance on her: "999, does that mean it’s everlasting with me?"

Gu Xinyan pushed Xu Xiangbei away, her face reddened a bit more: "If I were to think of it that way, I’d have to add a few more digits in front."

Xu Xiangbei was startled, quickly exclaimed: "Alright, 999, deal."

"Do I still have to help with the ribbon-cutting tomorrow?"

"Of course, it must be you, a pure and beautiful girl, lightly snipping the ribbon."

Gu Xinyan was amused by Xu Xiangbei: "Tomorrow, let Lu Xiaomei come with me. She’ll be bored at home by herself. You can take a few photos while you’re at it for your endorsement. I might have to go back to the set next week." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"It’s settled then."

The frozen food factory is in the Earth Sea Suburb, relatively far from the city center.

As the first director of the frozen food factory, Boss Peng has been living at the factory since the preparation for opening, arranging production, purchasing raw materials, formulating production processes, busy and glowing with enthusiasm, much more passionate than running a KTV.

When Xu Xiangbei arrived at the factory, Shen Congru and Boss Zhou were also there. Seeing Gu Xinyan, they all came over to greet her, eagerly shaking hands with this rising film star.

To complement the ribbon-cutting, Gu Xinyan wore a red embroidered waist-cinched cheongsam.

Both the person and the dress were beautiful, with the elegant cheongsam slit vaguely revealing her snow-white tender thigh, full of charm amid glamour.

Lu Xiaomei pushed Gu Xinyan’s wheelchair, visiting the newly painted office building. Although the decor wasn’t extravagant, it was clean and elegant, tasteful and substantial.

Seeing the aromatic raw materials ready for production, Lu Xiaomei’s mouth watered, looking at Xu Xiangbei eagerly: "Brother Xu, can I eat it once it’s produced?"

Xu Xiangbei cautiously pulled Lu Xiaomei away from the production workshop. He couldn’t let this foodie stay in the workshop or else no amount of production would be enough for her to eat.

Xu Xiangbei quietly instructed Iron Head: "Do you see that tall and chubby girl? You keep an eye on her and don’t let her out of your sight for a moment."

Iron Head, not knowing what was going on in Xu Xiangbei’s mind, asked in confusion and distress: "Brother Xu, are you trying to introduce her to me as a girlfriend? I already have a girlfriend."

Xu Xiangbei had no choice: "You really are stubborn and short-sighted. I just want you to watch her so she doesn’t go into the workshop and eat anything."

Boss Peng had prepared firecrackers and even hired a drum team. At the right time, the firecrackers went off, and the sound of gongs and drums filled the air, creating quite the lively scene.

Gu Xinyan elegantly took the scissors from the color plate, cutting the red ribbon in half, successfully completing the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Then Gu Xinyan, with her delicate jade fingers, pressed the switch to start the production line, initiating the trial production.

But after half an hour, with a screeching sound, the humming production line pulled out a discordant tail note and stopped.

The surroundings suddenly became especially quiet as the turbine fans also stopped spinning. It turned out there was a power outage.

On the first day of opening operations, there was a power outage. What kind of situation was this?

Sweat immediately appeared on Boss Peng’s forehead. This is a freezing food factory; a power outage at any time can cause huge losses for a food factory.
