Don't get married if you're reborn.

Chapter 410 If you're a true brother, come and chop me up (4K)

For a successful businessman, it is essential to cultivate good relationships with writers.

Although traditional articles are no longer widely read and are often written in a sour tone, their social status is still undeniable.

You can also contact the Writers Association to organize a national essay competition, which is also a great opportunity to expand your brand influence.

With Zeng Wenjie's strong official connections, securing such cooperation shouldn't be difficult for him. As long as he doesn't make any major mistakes, his future path will be much easier than others.

“I’ve been given five guests for the interview. Would you like to go? I think it’s time for you to step into the spotlight openly,” Zeng Wenjie said.

Feng Xiao shook his head and refused, saying, "Don't cause me trouble, and don't cause trouble for yourself! If something serious happens, it will be hard to cover it up."

Zeng Wenjie knew that she was still wary of those past events, but that was only natural.

Then he smiled and said, "Alright then, but you'll still be in the spotlight someday."

Feng Xiao said, "Let's talk about it when that day comes. It's not the right time yet. I'll just quietly stay in your shadow and be your pen."

Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but take a deep look at her. It was hard to see any demands or ambitions in her. She was a person who lived life with clarity and understanding. She was indeed extraordinary.

"Zeng Mi has been sentenced to three years and ten months," Zeng Wenjie said.

"Really? I thought it would be at least five years!" Feng Xiao said in surprise.

“The man surnamed Luo took on everything and did his best to extricate her from the situation, which is why this time limit was imposed,” Zeng Wenjie said.

"I didn't expect that guy to actually have a sense of loyalty," Feng Xiao said.

Zeng Wenjie sneered twice and said, "That's because he knew he couldn't escape his fate, so he took on everything! If he thought there was still hope, do you think he would have silenced Zeng Mi first?"

Feng Xiao felt a chill run down her spine, but then she thought that she had heard many similar stories before, so it didn't seem surprising.

However, Zeng Wenjie's confident tone once again made her feel a little strange.

Considering that this kid had quietly acquired so much secret information, I felt even more and more suspicious!

Feng Xiao is smarter than anyone else.

"It's good that things have settled down. Always waiting for the trial makes you anxious and unable to eat or sleep."

"For Zeng Mi, this is actually a pretty good result."

"Women like her, who have no background, often end up in a tragic and miserable state."

Feng Xiao smiled gently and gave a calm evaluation.

Zeng Wenjie said, "You have a powerful background, but that doesn't necessarily mean you'll have a good ending."

Feng Xiao's expression froze, and she reached out to pinch him, cursing, "You bastard, you don't feel comfortable unless you rub salt into my wounds every day, do you? Believe me or not, I'll delete the whole manuscript later!"

Zeng Wenjie dodged Feng Xiao's fingers, and after some playful banter, he ended up pinning down the person who was trying to pinch him.

I didn't pay you yesterday, so I have to make it up to you today. Plus, you've got a new article out, so I'll definitely have to pay you double!
“Would you like to come with me to Central China Province? We can visit a supermarket and learn about their advanced corporate culture. It would put your mind at ease,” Zeng Wenjie asked.

“Sure, but aren’t you expanding too much? Snacks panic, Marlenia, Game Science, and now you’re getting into supermarkets?” Feng Xiao asked.

“Opening a supermarket doesn’t cost me any money; the land is already there! Moreover, this move can create a lot of jobs and build a good reputation,” Zeng Wenjie said.

“That’s doable,” Feng Xiao said with a smile.

Since it was obtained for free, there was no psychological burden on me.

Moreover, Zeng Wenjie is young and energetic, so it's not unreasonable for him to be willing to take on more challenges.

Furthermore, the expansion plan for Snack Panic has already been formulated, and it can be implemented step by step, but it needs to gradually recruit talent into the team.
Marlenia's online store is just that—it has exhausted its potential and can only wait for the arrival of the online shopping era to bring about a surge in sales.
The expansion of gold shops will be relatively slow. Initially, they will definitely operate directly-owned stores, conquering one city at a time.

The "Hero Kill" project is progressing steadily, and we should see results in two months. With Zheng Shouyun overseeing it and Tencent providing support, there's absolutely nothing to worry about.

In fact, Zeng Wenjie spends more of his energy on cooperation with government departments, such as the promotion of "The Voice of China" and "Village BA". He has to attend meetings from time to time, which is very stressful.

As his social status rose, his interpersonal relationships became increasingly complex. He had to resist temptations that would surely drag him into trouble while maintaining harmonious relationships with everyone.

The next day, Zeng Wenjie filled in the interview questions from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and sent them to Ye Yixuan.

The guest selection hasn't been finalized yet, but one of them will definitely be the respected Professor Gao. We also need to ask Xiao Mu if she'd like to appear on television.

Given her personality, she would most likely be unwilling; Zeng Wenjie could already picture her hesitantly refusing the invitation.

"Mr. Zeng, please come to the studio for a moment. I need to discuss something with you."

Zheng Shouyun called and summoned Zeng Wenjie over.

After Zeng Wenjie entered the office, he couldn't help but ask, "President Zheng, what's wrong?"

Zheng Shouyun said, "The advertisement video that Zha Zha Hui filmed has arrived, but... can this thing really be worthy of our 'Hero Kill'?!"

The advertising concept was provided by Zeng Wenjie. It was roughly about Nick Cheung wearing a bright suit of armor, playing a historical figure, and delivering lines while holding a large cleaver on his shoulder.

After Zheng Shouyun said this, everyone in the studio looked at him with rather strange expressions.

Even Yuan Xiuqin, who was the biggest supporter of Zeng Wenjie, looked rather embarrassed. She was also embarrassed by the advertisement sent by Tencent!

"Let me see?" Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

Zheng Shouyun immediately opened the video. He saw Zha Zha Hui wearing golden armor, carrying a large cleaver on his shoulder. He then brandished it twice and said, "I am Zha Zha Hui. If you're a true brother, come and fight me in 'Hero Kill'! This is a brand new game you've never played before, a brand new version, waiting for you to experience!"

Zeng Wenjie almost burst out laughing when he saw the familiar scenes and the well-known advertising slogans, thinking that he had traveled back in time again.

Zheng Shouyun couldn't help but laugh and said, "President Zeng, I admit that some of your ideas are truly geniuses! But this advertising concept is rubbish, even a bit disgusting."

Several employees in the studio also started to voice their opinions, saying that the advertisement was of such poor quality that it might have the opposite effect of publicity.

But that's exactly the effect Zeng Wenjie wanted!
Those who haven't experienced the brainwashing effect of "Legend of the Greedy" can't possibly understand the magic and potential of this advertisement. No one would have imagined that such an advertisement would become a household name among netizens across the country, and even make the three characters "渣渣辉" (Zha Zha Hui) a popular meme.

Tencent, having arranged for Nick Cheung to film the ad as requested by Zeng Wenjie, was also disgusted, thinking, "What a horrible advertisement!" and immediately sent it to Zheng Shouyun. Zheng Shouyun, after seeing it, was equally outraged, and the staff in his studio shook their heads in disapproval.

Yuan Xiuqin suggested in a low voice, "Boss, I trust your judgment, but this advertisement... let's change it?"

Zeng Wenjie glanced at everyone and asked, "None of you believe this ad will be a hit?"

"I don't really believe it." Since Yuan Xiuqin said that, everyone else's attitude was even more uncertain.

Zeng Wenjie smiled and calmed everyone down. After all, "Hero Kill" was the result of everyone's hard work, and everyone hoped that the game would become a hit after its release. Seeing such a low-quality game advertisement would inevitably make people feel disgusted.

“What if I said that I deliberately asked Tencent to make this ad look like a low-quality pirated game?” Zeng Wenjie asked.

"Why do this? Look at the promotional ads for any of the games our Tencent releases, they're all so terrible..." Zheng Shouyun shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Zeng Wenjie said, "Sometimes, the market needs some contrarian actions to bring about positive effects. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this advertisement!"

Zheng Shouyun said, "President Zeng, to be honest, I'm not satisfied! And everyone else is too!"

Zeng Wenjie smiled and said, "How about this, you guys cut the video into an ad first, then put it on your own computers to test it. I guarantee that in three to five days, you'll be brainwashed by this ad!"

Zeng Wenjie was quite certain that this terrible ad would become popular, after all, he had also been brainwashed, and his head was filled with images of Nick Cheung and Louis Koo's "The Legend of the Shipwrecked Boat" and "The Legend of the Blue Moon".

Seeing that Zeng Wenjie was going his own way, everyone was somewhat dissatisfied, feeling that he was wasting everyone's hard work in making the game.

After all, marketing and promotion are crucial to a game's success!

Other game companies would love to make their ads look like American blockbusters, but Zeng Wenjie insists on doing the opposite, making them look like a poorly made, low-quality pirated game!
Yuan Xiuqin said with a forced smile, "Alright, I'll give it a try. Mr. Zheng, please upload the advertisement to the studio's cloud server, I'll download it, and then hang it on my desktop to take a look."

Zheng Shouyun sighed helplessly. He had been instructed before he came that he could only supervise the project's progress and not interfere with Zeng Wenjie's decisions.

At present, Zeng Wenjie is determined to do things his own way, and there is nothing he can do about it.

Before long, Nick Cheung's catchy accent rang out on each employee's computer.

"I'm Zha Zha Hui... Come and attack me... Brand new version..."

As she listened, Yuan Xiuqin suddenly realized that this captivating accent was actually quite brainwashing!

At first, she hated the advertisement no matter how she looked at it, feeling that it was unworthy of "Hero Kill". But as she watched it, she found it inexplicably funny and pleasing to the eye.

Yuan Xiuqin temporarily turned off the advertising video hanging on her desktop and got back to work. However, after typing for a while, she couldn't help but think of the advertising slogan: "I am Zha Zha Hui..."

She scratched her head, both amused and exasperated, realizing she had almost unconsciously tried to imitate that mesmerizing accent with a thick lisp!

Zheng Shouyun suddenly said to Zeng Wenjie beside him, "I suddenly feel... that this is a bit interesting?"

Zeng Wenjie chuckled and said, "Right?"

Zheng Shouyun was also at a loss for words, rubbing his head with both hands and saying, "My head is full of 'Zha Zha Hui' right now!"

Zeng Wenjie said, "That's exactly the effect we want! Advertising, advertising, needs to spread widely, be brainwashing enough, and have a large enough reach to be a truly good advertisement."

"Look, for example, that brain-dead Gold—"

"No gifts this holiday season, except for brain-dead gold."

"What kind of stupid advertising slogan is this? But the other people's ads are incredibly popular."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Shouyun felt that there was indeed some truth to it, and then said with a wry smile, "If you're a true brother, come and chop me up. It's quite a demonic thing."

Brothers should cherish and help each other, but the advertising slogan is "If you're a true brother, come and fight."
It's one of those idiotic, brainwashing advertising slogans.

"What the advertisement looks like doesn't matter, what the product looks like is the most important! As long as it achieves the effect we want, who cares how bad the advertisement is? Anyway, our game isn't bad!" Zeng Wenjie chuckled.

“That makes sense.” Zheng Shouyun was convinced.

Moreover, he also felt that the more he looked at the advertisement, the more... well, not exactly pleasing to the eye, but rather comical!
Even though I've watched it several times, I still find it very interesting every time I watch it. Hui Ge's catchy accent is just too addictive.

“Hey, if Jia Hui knew you were ruining him like this, he’d definitely regret filming this ad,” Zheng Shouyun said.

In fact, after he filmed this advertisement and went viral online, he was quite annoyed and immediately asked the game company to take the advertisement down.

But this time it's different. It was Penguin who asked him to film it, and he can even threaten Penguin to take the ad down.
The phrase "Nanshan Invincible" is no joke...

Zeng Wenjie shamelessly said, "He should thank me. His name will become famous throughout the country because of this advertisement, and everyone will know him!"

Zheng Shouyun looked at Zha Zha Hui wielding a large sword in the video and smiled mockingly, saying, "I don't know if the players will attack him, but he definitely wants to attack you!"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Cut me? Then I'll just lie on the ground and choose a car."

Zheng Shouyun couldn't help but burst into laughter.

It didn't even take Zeng Wenjie the three to five days he mentioned; in just one day, the employees at the game studio were all brainwashed by this advertisement.

Although a few people firmly believed that the advertisement was too bad and vulgar and did not match the project, the rest of the people agreed with Zeng Wenjie's opinion.

“Boss, your idea this time is really hard to understand. But this advertisement is really catchy. Sometimes when I think about it, I can’t help but want to say a few lines…” Yuan Xiuqin also reported her thoughts to Zeng Wenjie.

“That’s right, that’s the feeling we’re looking for! A good ad is one that can brainwash you,” Zeng Wenjie said.

Some Thai advertisements are also quite catchy and abstract.

You thought it was an inspirational movie? Turns out it's a damn toothpaste commercial…

Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "We can also invite a few Hong Kong movie stars with heavy accents to shoot similar commercials, and have them take turns doing it to brainwash our future players like crazy!"

These words sent chills down everyone's spines.

Are you a devil?!
