It's already the 21st century, and I just found the imperial seal

Upon returning from the grasslands, Su Yu immediately entered a fast-paced work mode.

In addition to his work at the Bobo Chicken restaurant, hot pot restaurant, and food factory, he also had to keep track of the situation at various construction sites.

On the 20th, construction began on the Bobo Chicken Industrial Park.

Su Yu invited Zhou Tao, who was already a full-time Chinese language teacher, to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the park's groundbreaking.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was a lively affair, and many comedians from Sichuan and Chongqing were invited to perform.

These people's performance fees are relatively cheap; they can earn tens of thousands of yuan by performing one or two shows.

As for why they didn't invite popular celebrities?
Because the slogan of Bo Bo Chicken is, "We don't hire celebrities to endorse us; we build trust through word of mouth."

Bo Bo Chicken claims that the millions of yuan spent on monthly promotions are used to thank and reward customers by hiring celebrities as spokespeople.

This tactic is very attractive to regular customers who have bought Bo Bo Chicken before.

After all, various products on the market are endorsed by celebrities and internet influencers of all sizes.

Bo Bo Chicken doesn't hire celebrities to endorse it; instead, it gives the money back to the celebrities. There aren't many businesses with such a conscience.

But for people who have never bought Bo Bo Chicken, it's just some fancy marketing gimmicks trying to stand out, but it's not really that useful.

But for Su Yu, all he needs to do is retain his existing customers and attract new ones as needed.

The continued repurchase by loyal customers is essential for the survival of Bobo Chicken.

Of course, the performance would also include a song and dance troupe.

Right after the New Year, An Shishi recruited two new members into the group, both young girls aged eighteen or nineteen.

Girls of this age are influenced by online information and have a strong desire for money and power.

Once you join the song and dance troupe, you'll receive an annual salary of hundreds of thousands, along with all sorts of benefits.

They find it hard to resist such temptation.

He was easily persuaded by An Shishi and agreed.

Of course, hiring is becoming increasingly strict these days.

An Shishi even personally took them to the hospital for a full-body checkup.

Only after confirming that there were no problems did I sign the labor contract and officially become a member of the song and dance troupe.

Su Yu didn't care about any of that; all he needed to do was keep An Shishi in check.

As various song and dance performances took place on stage, the leaders in the audience applauded enthusiastically.

Various red and yellow auras emanated from them, all of which were attached to Su Yu's Umbrella of Ten Thousand People.

These people are different from ordinary people.

Their luck is stronger and more concentrated, resulting in a greater increase in the number of people covered by the "Umbrella of Ten Thousand People".

Although everyone shares the same fate, red and yellow.

But in reality, the differences are quite significant.

This involves the question of how much power one has and how many people one's own luck can influence.
To be more specific, one is one cubic meter of iron, and the other is one cubic meter of cotton.

Although both are one cubic meter, their weights are vastly different.

Of all professions, only studying is noble!
It's not just talk.

After the performance, it was inevitable that there would be some eating and drinking.

After the New Year, the Furong Peach Blossom Spring tourism project was officially launched, and the relationship between Su Yu and Mu Zhengkai gradually came to light and became known to more people.

His status and position naturally rose accordingly, and were quite different from before.

All the prominent officials in Xin County lined up to toast him, saying polite things.

Su Yu responded with a smile, and also invited them to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Furong Peach Blossom Spring at the end of this month.

Everyone is naturally happy to be able to appear at such a large event.

Not to mention, this was also an opportunity to show off in front of Mu Zhengkai.

……

March 26th.

Zhou Xiaoqiang and his girlfriend Li Yan got married, and Su Yu served as their witness.

Liu Jun and Lei Tianbao were the best men.

They envied their good friend's success.

Going abroad to work independently carries various risks, but the treatment Su Yu, the boss, provides is by no means bad.

They had all heard that the minor characters who went with them all earned a million-dollar annual salary, plus a million-dollar settlement allowance.

They couldn't imagine how much Zhou Xiaoqiang, the person in charge, earned in terms of annual salary and settling-in allowance.

Just thinking about it made them want to take Zhou Xiaoqiang's place and go to Africa instead.

Unfortunately, that's impossible.

Of course, they didn't come away empty-handed.

With Zhou Xiaoqiang gone, the position of deputy manager became vacant.

Boss Su Yu is also missing someone to directly command him.

The two are now subtly competing with each other, both wanting to gain more exposure in front of their boss, Su Yu, and eventually take over Zhou Xiaoqiang's position.

As long as he takes over Zhou Xiaoqiang's position.

Those who are near the water get the moonlight first, and those facing the sun easily welcome spring.

Therefore, their next opportunity to stand on their own will be theirs.

Su Yu had a clear view of the competition among those around him.

Competition is certainly a good thing.

Otherwise, if everyone becomes lifeless, only thinking about retirement and waiting to die, then they can all be fired.

He supported and trained them so that they could start from scratch with him, and with a foundation of mutual affection, they would be easier to use in the future.

Those who already have families are not mentioned; they only need to stabilize their base of support.

He was determined to release all of his men who had no family or home.

He was granted titles and honors on the spot.

If you want to get promoted and make a fortune, then you have to risk your life!
……

March 31st.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Furong Peach Blossom Spring project was held!
As the top male celebrity in Furong City, Mu Zhengkai was naturally the most important VIP.

His appearance instantly drew everyone's attention.

Su Yu stepped forward with a smile to greet him, "Uncle Mu, welcome, welcome!"

Mu Zhengkai didn't mind Su Yu's form of address and shook his hand with a smile, "How's your project going?"

"I've shown you the design drawings and 3D renderings."

Su Yu smiled and said, "The rest of the arrangements are also in place, and the workers are all in place."

Mu Zhengkai nodded in satisfaction. "Since everything is arranged, I'll just mention one thing."

Su Yu pretended to listen attentively and said, "Uncle Mu, please speak."

"What I'm talking about is safety!"

Mu Zhengkai said, "Safety first!"

Su Yu smiled and said, "My main focus for the future arrangements is safety."

Mu Zhengkai nodded and was led to sit down at the front, ready for the ribbon-cutting ceremony to begin.

Xue Chiyue and Mu Jiayu had arrived long ago and were sitting nearby.

When they saw their husbands (fathers) coming over, they all greeted them with a smile.

Facing his wife and daughter, Mu Zhengkai nodded lightly.

In public, he needs to maintain an air of authority and it's best not to show too many expressions on his face.

The scene on the stage at this moment was quite different from the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the groundbreaking of the Bobo Chicken Industrial Park.

Jolin Tsai, this "old baby," is wearing sexy black leather pants and singing and dancing energetically, performing her signature song, "Dancing Diva"!
For the opening ceremony of Furong Peach Blossom Spring this time, he invited all the well-known celebrities.

Even if you don't know them personally, you've still heard them sing.

Besides Jolin Tsai, there are also Hu Xia, Sha Baoliang, Chen Chusheng, Dick Cowboy, Cheng Xiang, Zhuang Xinyan, Wang Xiaomin, Xianzi...

Among these singers, Jolin Tsai's appearance fee is 1.5 million, while the others are around 500,000, making them relatively cost-effective.

The songs he sings are all very familiar to everyone, and anyone can easily hum a few lines.

Of course, these were just appetizers; Su Yu also spent a lot of money to invite JJ Lin and Xue Zhiqian.

These two are both famous for their personalities and their songs, and their performance fees are all around five million.

Since he's already invested billions, he's definitely willing to spend tens of millions to put on a proper groundbreaking ceremony!
Of all these people, he was actually most curious about Xianzi and Wang Xiaomin.

After all, a few years ago, these two, one with "Unwilling" and the other with "Laughing at the Wind and Clouds", were quite popular on the internet.

The two of them were dressed stunningly at the time, giving Su Yu a very special feeling. But they're meeting today!
All he could say was to give the makeup artist and photographer an extra chicken leg.

Both of them are around forty years old, and although they take good care of themselves, their skin is definitely not as good as that of young girls.

Especially Xianzi, whose face had obviously been surgically altered and looked somewhat stiff; only her long legs were still somewhat acceptable.

Wang Xiaomin is better; she has a slender and tall figure, a cool and aloof temperament, and looks quite good from a distance.

Of course, his dance troupe was also part of this star-studded performance.

Although they are not leading ladies, as music teachers, their presence is in no way inferior to that of celebrities.

They just aren't well-known, and few people can name them.

The performances on stage continued, with one star after another appearing in quick succession.

Most celebrities immediately take a car to the airport to catch a plane after their performance.

They offer good value for money, and their schedules are always packed.

The bigger the star, the busier they are.

Of course, there are also those who are not busy.

They stayed behind to get to know Su Yu, the boss, and local officials, hoping to build connections and resources.

As celebrities, they may seem glamorous, but it's all just superficial glamour.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the performance fee is not low, around 500,000.

But performances aren't every day, and there's a revenue-sharing contract with the agency.

Besides their management company, they also need to support assistants.

In short, they earn a lot, but they also spend a lot.

If they have the opportunity to meet a big boss, give them a boost, or find a business opportunity, they won't want to miss it.

Being a celebrity may seem glamorous, but it's actually very tough and tiring.

Both men and women face anxiety about their appearance and body shape.

As celebrities, appearance and physique are of paramount importance to them, and they must consider these issues at all times.

Every day I'm doing all sorts of fitness and weight loss exercises, and I can't eat this or that. I'm so sick of the fat-loss meals that I feel like throwing up.

Everything I do is to maintain a good figure.

After all, they have to participate in various performances and occasionally appear on variety shows to maintain their popularity.

If the results are poor, then no one will want to hire them.

But if you can transition to being your own boss and make a lot of money, then you won't have any worries about that at all.

Eat whatever you want.

Do whatever you want.

The song and dance performance ended, and it was exactly midnight.

Su Yu, Mu Zhengkai, Zhou Tao, and others walked onto the stage, ready to cut the ribbon.

There were eight people cutting the ribbon on stage, and eight emcees holding the golden scissors.

These eight people are the very people he will be promoting later: the Eight Beauties of the Ghost Market in Liaozhai!
Regardless, the reputation must be established first.

This is their first time appearing in front of an audience as a group, and there will be continuous hype going on afterward.

Just like a talent show, it records their daily training and daily life.

To put it simply, it's about starting to create and nurture accounts.

Of course, there are also people who don't need to create or nurture an account.

That's Wan Lei.

Wan Lei, as one of the first lucky winners of the "Bo Bo Chicken" lottery, already had a million-follower account.

Her task was to use her influence to mentor the other seven people.

Currently, Su Yu's media company has more than 200 internet celebrities of varying sizes.

Only three people have over a million followers, while the rest have anywhere from a few thousand to tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of followers.

Some of these people were prepared for the Ghost Market of Liaozhai, while others were cast wide and cultivated randomly.

When Su Yu cut the red silk in front of him with golden scissors, the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Hibiscus Peach Blossom Spring came to a complete end.

The group drove to a five-star hotel in the county, where lunch had already been prepared.

Lunch is a buffet; you can eat whatever you want.

Su Yu accompanied Mu Zhengkai's family to dinner, and the leaders would occasionally take the opportunity to come over and offer a toast, trying to show their faces in front of Mu Zhengkai, this big shot.

While enjoying fresh tuna sashimi, Xue Chiyue took a sip of red wine. "Su Yu, there's something I forgot to tell you!"

Su Yu said humbly, "Auntie, please go ahead."

Xue Chiyue said, "My dad knows about your project. He wrote a calligraphy piece for you yesterday and asked me to bring it to you today."

Su Yu laughed and said, "That would be too much trouble for the old man."

Xue Chiyue shook her head, glanced at her daughter, and then at Su Yu. "Don't take my dad's words to heart during the New Year. Although we can't be family, we'll always be the best of friends."

When the old story was brought up again, Su Yu's expression didn't change much, but Mu Jiayu was already extremely embarrassed.

She never expected that her maternal grandfather would want to marry her off to her master.

My master is already married and her child is about to be born, how can she get married?
Of course, she didn't want to get married!

Master has so many women, if she marries into that family, where would she rank?

All the people in front of her were her older sisters.

She doesn't want to get married!

Su Yu didn't take his relationship with Mu Jiayu to heart.

He has many women around him, so Mu Jiayu is no exception.

If Mu Jiayu is willing, he will hold another wedding.

Given their current relationship, they might end up sleeping together sometime soon.

Of course, they might never sleep together in their lifetime.

Who knows what will happen in the future?
Mu Zhengkai remained silent throughout the entire conversation regarding his daughter and Su Yu.

He valued his relationship with Su Yu very much.

With Su Yu helping him over the past few months, he could clearly feel that he was handling his work more skillfully and was able to deal with crises with composure.

This made him even more convinced of the power of luck and feng shui.

Not only did he believe it, but his father-in-law, such a capable person, also believed it.

If he wants to continue to improve, he will definitely need Su Yu's help.

This put him in a very awkward situation.

She couldn't bear to leave Su Yu, but she also couldn't bear to part with her daughter.

Then we can only pretend we know nothing and leave it to the two of us to develop the relationship.

There's an old saying that goes something like that, isn't there?

Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren!
When Xue Chiyue took out her father's calligraphy, it had four large characters written on it: "Great virtue carries all things".

Many people gathered around to look at this calligraphy.

They all knew that this calligraphy had a profound meaning.

So everyone started staring at the signature.

The signature also reads four characters: "Old Man of Wanjiang"!
Wanjiang Old Man?

who is it?

Apart from a few people who have seen this nickname, the rest of the people have no idea about it.

Wang Xiaomin happens to be one of them.

She originally just wanted to stay for a meal and see if she could make some connections.
Now she understands the true value of Su Yu's qualifications.

They have connections to the highest levels!
Of course, besides those who already knew about Old Man Wanjiang, there were also many other clever people.

They had already learned about Mu Zhengkai's family situation through connections, and knew who his wife Xue Chiyue was.

This calligraphy was brought out by Xue Chiyue.

And her father's name is Xue Wanli!
If there's a character that matches the word "ten thousand" and "old," then there's no need to overthink it.

Mu Zhengkai was scary enough, but now Xue Wanli has appeared.

This Su Yu has truly become a force to be reckoned with.

That's amazing!
