I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 353 The Refreshing and Refined Sea Mother's Coconut Juice

The release of the song "The Road Where Phoenix Flowers Bloom" completely ignited tears during graduation season.

Everyone remarked on how fortunate this year's graduates were.

From Ye Xian's earliest songs used to compete with Liu Bohan, such as "Goodbye," "Wishing You a Smooth Journey," and "The Wind Rises," to the later comeback song "Farewell," and then the unexpected surprise "The Road Where Phoenix Flowers Bloom," these five graduation season songs can be described as a tearjerker series, with each episode more tear-jerking than the last.

[Picking your nose and flicking it: I want to say something unpleasant, but someone who didn't even have the chance to graduate makes those of us who have graduated burst into tears. Is this our honor or our misfortune?]

[Affection will surely lead to one's downfall: Four years of university have come to an end! My most cherished friends have gone to all corners of the country, and I don't know when we'll see each other again!]

[Raging Scumbag: Upstairs, never again! There were six of us in our dorm, and it's been 10 years since graduation, and we haven't seen each other once. Some people, once parted, are gone forever!]

[Cute Little Meatball: I thought I could be strong, but seeing all the beds in the dorm empty one by one, I couldn't help but cry! I promised I wouldn't be the last one to leave, so why did you all leave first? Leaving me to bear this pain of parting alone?]

……

Ye Xian's Weibo post, a super topic related to graduation season, was flooded by many graduating seniors.

Throughout June, from the graduation season for science students, middle school students, and university students, one after another, Ye Xian's graduation songs never left the top of the TikTok charts.

After June, these songs may cool down, but when graduation season comes next year, they will once again top the charts, showing everyone time and time again that classics are always classics.

Many marketing accounts, including Ye Chui Lao Wang's account, have created special features on graduation season. Even when listing graduation season songs from previous years, Ye Xian's five songs are ranked at the top.

……

After finishing her yam and shrimp balls, Qiu Qing sat happily next to Ye Xian, constantly reading aloud which influential bloggers had praised her on Weibo. Ye Xian had to put down his book and advised, "Stop reading these things. You're so happy now that everyone's praising you online, but what will you do when everyone's criticizing you? You'll be crying your eyes out!"

"Why is everyone online criticizing them?"

Qiu Qing's enthusiasm was dampened, and she was somewhat unhappy: "Are you about to have your career ruined? Tell me, do you have some dirt on you that someone has?"

At this point, Qiu Qing looked at Ye Xian with suspicion: "Did you do something bad while I was away?"

Ye Xian was surprised by her unusual way of thinking and couldn't help but pat her head: "What are you thinking! The entertainment industry has never been a good place. Nobody wants my success to keep rising."

"Everyone?"

Qiu Qing raised her hand and slapped Ye Xian's large hand away, then tidied her disheveled hair.

This little rascal is getting more and more outrageous!

He dares to touch his own head in front of outsiders.

I'll definitely get it back later.

"Everyone."

Ye Xian answered decisively: "Because the higher my achievements, the more resources I take from others. There are only so many good resources, and regardless of whether they are male or female celebrities, only a few can get a share of the pie. If I step down, others can step up."

"Okay, okay, thank goodness I was wise enough to decide early on not to enter the entertainment industry!"

Qiu Qing looked at Ye Xian with a smug smile: "You've hit the jackpot! Having such a beautiful woman like me as your assistant will make you look so prestigious."

Ye Xian nodded quickly: "Then please ask Miss Qiu to pour me a glass of water."

"Damn it! You make me serve you tea and water every day, treating me like a servant, huh? I'll bite you to death!"

Just moments ago, Qiu Qing was quite smug, but suddenly she bared her teeth and claws and pounced on Ye Xian, and the two of them started wrestling around.

Wang Feifei looked at Qiu Qing with envy, wishing she could take her place.

When Qiu's mother and Ding Zhan came to report something, they couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw this scene upon entering the room.

These two are always inseparable, constantly engaging in sweet interactions, which has even made Qiu's mother, as their mother, unable to bear it any longer: "Qingqing, you are Ye Xian's assistant now, it's working hours."

Like a cat whose tail has been grabbed, Qiu Qing suddenly jumped off Ye Xian, her face flushed, and ran outside, saying, "I'll go get you some water."

Ye Xian acted as if nothing had happened, sitting up straight again. His shamelessness even impressed Ding Zhan, who secretly thought, "If I had been as shameless as you back then, I would be your father now!"

……

The fact that Qiu's mother and Ding Zhan came together to discuss something meant it was no small matter.

Hai Ma Food Factory and Hai Zhou Winery have completed their relocation, and the new production lines have been installed and debugged. The first batch of beverage samples has also been produced.

With the participation of the Sixth Princess and the status of a royal merchant, trademark registration, product batch numbers, and quality inspection all proceeded smoothly, and all procedures were completed in the shortest possible time.

"This is a sample. Isn't the packaging of this sample a bit ugly?"

Although Qiu's mother didn't know much about these things, she had been doing live-streaming sales with Ye Xian for the past few months and had seen many products. Her ability to identify products had also improved. Ye Xian's packaging design for this beverage completely overturned her understanding of product packaging.

Ding Zhan was also somewhat puzzled by Ye Xian's tactics: "Is this some kind of anti-marketing strategy?"

Ye Xian looked at the restored drink in front of him and couldn't help but laugh.

The packaging design of this beverage can be described as the originator of a radical change in the packaging design world.

Anyone who sees it for the first time would find it hard to believe that such a low-quality design could exist.

However, it was precisely this low-end design that created a legend.

Seeing that his two elders seemed a little insecure, Ye Xian immediately laughed and said, "The broadcast is about to start, okay? Let the fans say what they think."

Although Qiu's mother and Ding Zhan had confidence in Ye Xian, they didn't have much hope for the product and just thought Ye Xian was joking around.

Sun Li, Wang Feifei, Li Xin, Duan Fei, and others also had low hopes, feeling that Ye Xian's new product was just a mess and clearly a case of letting himself go.

Everyone was a little worried that Ye Xian's success came too quickly, and he hadn't even settled in yet before he started acting recklessly. Would he suffer his first failure since his debut?

Ye Xian did not explain the doubts raised by everyone, but instead waited for the broadcast to begin.

……

At 8 p.m., the live stream started as usual. The first part was still the same: new song performances, guest introductions, and guest talent shows. When it was time for Qiu Mama to start selling goods, Ye Xian grinned and pulled a black drink out from under the table.

"It's been a while since I introduced any new products. This time, I'm here in person. This is a new beverage developed by Wang Dalong's team—Hai Ma Coconut Juice, a pure, natural, freshly squeezed coconut juice. I hope you all like it."

The fans in the live stream were waiting idly for the product to sell and for the "GG" time to pass, but when they saw the product packaging in Ye Xian's hand, they burst out laughing.

[Kunzi Jue: Brother Xian, what are you holding? A PPT? Or a Word document? Did the designer you hired rip you off?]

[Sitting on the wall waiting for the red apricot: Wow, this packaging design is so unique! It completely overturns my understanding as a graduate student majoring in [a specific field]! This design is even worse than a primary school student's!]

[One shot to conquer the world: Authentic coconut juice from Haizhou coconut trees! Insisting on freshly squeezed coconut meat from Haizhou! We dare to promise no coconut milk and no added flavorings… I’m dizzy, with so many large characters, I don’t even know what I’m seeing. Is this kind of low-quality Word style some kind of new fashion?]

[Back to Kindergarten as a Top Student: Brother Xian, just tell me straight, what are you planning to do? You're definitely not going to sell coconut juice, you're going to sell coconut juice character cards, right? Same trick as your Drunken Dream of the Red Chamber and Drunken Wine, right?]

……

Ye Xian looked at the exploded live stream chat and smiled with satisfaction: "Not bad, this beautiful design is mine. Isn't it refreshing and unique?"
