Urban God-level Youth

Qin Hao: "Okay."

He hung up the phone.

Qin Hao left the company and drove towards Jianghai University Main Campus.

That morning, the same news spread throughout the business circles of Jianghai City:

"Jiangshan Roasted Duck Company spent millions to acquire Delicious Duck Company."

This news was significant and attracted a lot of attention; Delicious Duck Company was an established business in Jianghai.

Now that it had been acquired, who in Jianghai's roasted and cooked duck industry could stop Jiangshan Roasted Duck Company's progress?

Their secrecy in the initial stages was very well-maintained. When other companies in the same industry heard this news, their expressions changed instantly.

The acquisition of Delicious Duck was tantamount to declaring to everyone that there was about to be a new leader in Jianghai's roasted and cooked duck industry.

In the past, Delicious Duck Neck and Liu Hei Ya were the dominant players.

But now, with their sales sharply decreasing, once Jiangshan Roasted Duck fully integrated the Delicious Duck stores,@@novelbin@@

Jiangshan Roasted Duck would undoubtedly become the leader in Jianghai's roasted and cooked duck industry.

The person in charge of Liu Hei Ya Company hadn't joined Lin Helai and others in opposing Jiangshan Roasted Duck initially.

As for what they were thinking, no one knew.

...

About ten minutes later, Qin Hao arrived at the cafe Xia Qing had mentioned.

He parked the car next to the shop, then walked into the cafe.

Xia Qing was sitting in a corner of the cafe, stirring her coffee spoon as if pondering something.

Qin Hao saw her and paused, his gaze fixed. Although he saw Xia Qing every night in videos, seeing her in person always felt different than on video.

He walked over to Xia Qing's table.

Xia Qing felt someone approaching and looked up to see Qin Hao, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"You're here, have a seat."

Then she called the waiter over and ordered a cappuccino for Qin Hao.

Soon, the coffee was served, but Qin Hao didn't touch it.

Xia Qing was still stirring her coffee with the spoon in her hand.

She looked at Qin Hao and asked with a smile, "Do you know what this song is?"

A Federation song was playing in the coffee shop, its melody pleasant and captivating many patrons.

Qin Hao shook his head, curious about why Xia Qing had asked him to meet.

Xia Qing: "This Federation song is called 'that girl'!"

Qin Hao wasn't very familiar with music, he seldom listened to songs, and didn't know this one.

Seeing his reaction, Xia Qing realized he didn't know and continued to ask, "How are things with Du Wanrou?"

Qin Hao: "Pretty good, she went abroad for her studies a few days ago."

Xia Qing was taken aback, "She went abroad? Isn't she afraid you'll be snatched away by someone else?"

Qin Hao chuckled: "I'm not that handsome; who would snatch me away? You had me come out here for something, right?"

Xia Qing's eyes dimmed slightly, Why bring that up so quickly? Why not give me the chance to talk a bit more?

Do you dislike me that much?

Do you really not want to talk to me?

Qin Hao noticed the sadness in her eyes and felt somewhat puzzled. Had Xia Qing encountered some trouble again?

His comment had no other intention; he just never expected Xia Qing to be so sensitive.

Qin Hao curiously asked, "Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Xia Qing shook her head. She took a bank card out of her pocket and placed it in front of Qin Hao.

Qin Hao frowned slightly as he looked at her, he roughly understood what Xia Qing meant.

Xia Qing began, "When my family was in trouble, you lent us three million. This is four million.

Thank you for your help back then, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today."

Qin Hao expressed his surprise, "Four million? How did you earn it?"

Xia Qing's expression was calm as she replied, "You don't need to worry about that, it's money I earned through my own efforts.

I wish you and Du Wanrou happiness. I have to go now."

After she said this, she got up and left. She hadn't touched the coffee on the table at all.

After she left, Qin Hao sat there without moving while many in the café turned to look.

It was clear to them that he and Xia Qing had broken up, as Xia Qing hadn't looked good when she left.

Qin Hao picked up his coffee, drank it in one gulp, sighed deeply, and then left as well.

The couples around him, seeing his action, nearly burst out laughing.

Drinking a cup of coffee in one gulp, this brother must have been deeply shocked.

...

After leaving the café, Qin Hao drove back to the company.

He hadn't been to the university for several days, but Chen Ping frequently contacted him to report some information.

The development on the fatty's side was going well; the office location had already moved to a large office building, and they now had several dozen employees.

Back at the company, Qin Hao gathered Feng Xiangyi and several others into the meeting room.

Feng Xiangyi, Nie Si, the deputy director of the marketing department Lv Rong, manager Song Zhu, and deputy manager Li Jing.

Qin Hao addressed them, "I plan to find a celebrity to endorse our company, I've called you here to discuss this."

An endorsement?

Feng Xiangyi's eyes lit up; she had long wanted Qin Hao to hire a celebrity for endorsement as it could greatly enhance the popularity of Jiangshan Roasted Duck.

Lv Rong asked, "Mr. Qin, what is your budget? Also, which TV channel do you plan to use, and what timing for the advertisement? Prime time slots are very expensive."

Qin Hao said, "Don't worry about the money. Just discuss the matter of the spokesperson; the more popular, the better, and their character and reputation should also be top-notch."

Li Jing spoke, "Mr. Qin, I think Zhao Yuying is quite suitable, but I'm not sure about her schedule."

Song Zhu nodded, "That's right, Zhao Yuying is currently a popular star in Xuan Country, highly popular, and she has a good character and reputation without any scandals. She'd be quite appropriate."

Lv Rong added, "Zhao Yuying indeed is a good choice. Jiang Feifei, Yang Wenhao, Li Wenjun, and other popular stars could also be considered."

Qin Hao thought for a moment and said, "Let's not consider male candidates for now."

Feng Xiangyi suggested, "Mr. Qin, we can contact Zhao Yuying first. If she is not available, we can then consider a second choice."

The others nodded slightly in agreement with Feng Xiangyi's proposal.

Qin Hao said, "Discuss the budget, and also the cost for prime time ad spots on CCTV-1."

Feng Xiangyi responded, "Zhao Yuying's endorsement fee is approximately between twenty to thirty million per year, which needs to be negotiated.

As for prime time advertising costs on CCTV-1, it should be very high. We need to inquire about the exact price, and it's not even certain we can secure a spot."

Qin Hao concluded, "You handle it. Also purchase prime time ad spots on Jianghai TV and Shuinan TV Channel when the time comes."

After the discussion, Feng Xiangyi's team contacted Zhao Yuying's Studio.

Zhao Yuying's studio was in Jianghai City, and Feng Xiangyi soon made contact. She then informed them that if possible, the two parties could engage in specific negotiations.

The response from the other side was simple: We have submitted the request; please wait patiently.
