"It's good that you're alright, but it's best not to be a stunt double in the future. Sometimes wire work can be quite dangerous," Xu Muqing instructed, her voice laced with worry.
Liu Yifeng had only agreed to act because Director Wang was a kind man and he couldn't bear to refuse. He didn't want to enter this industry, so the possibility of him acting again was very slim. He explained his thoughts to her.
Hearing that Liu Yifeng had no desire to act, Xu Muqing finally relaxed.
Xia Qianqian, seeing how Xu Muqing's every sentence revolved around her concern for Liu Yifeng, quickly changed the subject. "Sister Xia, tomorrow is Monday. When are you planning to go back?"
"I'll go back after the afternoon recording. By the way, we had a conflict with a man yesterday. If he comes looking for trouble, you can call me, and I'll find local people to resolve it!" This was also what Xu Muqing was most worried about.
Liu Yifeng, however, was not afraid of retaliation. The last time, Xiong Ruiming's mother had hired someone to retaliate against him, and ended up sending herself to prison. This was a society governed by law. If they dared to retaliate, he would ensure they received their due punishment.
"Don't worry about this, I'm here, and nothing will happen," he said with confidence. If it were in the past, Liu Yifeng wouldn't have dared to make such a promise, but things were different now. With his current skills, anyone who tried to bully him would be digging their own grave.
Looking at the self-assured Liu Yifeng, Xu Muqing couldn't help but say, "Yifeng, hearing you talk, you sound like you're involved in the underworld. There's a saying, 'A strong dragon can't suppress a local snake.' You should be more careful."
"I know. In any case, with me here, I definitely won't let them harm Tongtong and Qianqian!"
Xia Qianqian, realizing she was also under Liu Yifeng's protection, felt a warmth in her heart. Did this mean she held some significance in his heart?
Xu Muqing didn't say anything further. Liu Yifeng suddenly remembered that he hadn't had time to visit the company since his last trip back. So, he walked out of the lounge, intending to call Lu Fei and the others to inquire about the situation. He didn't make the call in the lounge for fear of disturbing their rest. He soon dialed Lu Fei's number.
The call was quickly answered, and Lu Fei's voice came through immediately. "Hello Yifeng, your son is too amazing! Tongtong, such a small child, has outperformed all the older contestants." Lu Fei knew that Tongtong was participating in the "Super Brain" competition and had deliberately watched the show's premiere yesterday. He had also planned to call Liu Yifeng that evening if he hadn't called him.
"Of course, who do you think his father is!" Liu Yifeng accepted Lu Fei's praise without modesty.
"But when you were studying, your grades were only average. Otherwise, you wouldn't have only gotten into an ordinary third-tier university. How is your son so smart? Could it be the mother's genes are strong?" Lu Fei and Liu Yifeng had grown up together, sharing everything, so they always spoke their minds without holding back.
Liu Yifeng immediately denied it. "How is that possible? The child's mother is just an ordinary person in terms of intelligence. If he inherited anything, it would definitely be from me." In Liu Yifeng's opinion, for Xu Muqing to abandon her child in such an irresponsible manner, her intelligence couldn't be that high.
Lu Fei, hearing this, put on a sly expression. "No, that's not right. I asked you before, and you said you and the child's mother conceived the child when you were both drunk. You shouldn't have known each other well then, but your words make it sound like you know the child's mother very well. Could it be that you've already met?"
Liu Yifeng didn't want anyone to know that Yun Duoer was Tongtong's mother. He replied, "What are you thinking? As a man, can I admit I'm not capable? Anyway, Tongtong is so smart because of my recessive genes, which have given him such a powerful brain!"
"You're really shameless, talking about recessive genes. Let's change the subject. What did you call me for?"
"I wanted to ask if the company has started operations and if the employees are all at work," Liu Yifeng asked.
Lu Fei immediately replied, "We've been operational for a long time. I've hired a few more employees with experience in this field these past two days. They're training the recent university graduates. Also, the company's business license and other related documents were personally delivered by Ms. Su. Having connections really helps these days. The business license was processed so quickly. Otherwise, under normal procedures, a month would be considered fast."
"Is that so? When did she deliver them? Why didn't she tell me?"
"She delivered them several days ago. I'd say Ms. Su definitely has feelings for you. Otherwise, why would she help you and not tell you?" Lu Fei said. Liu Yifeng had heard this from him before. Many people had said it, but until the other party declared their feelings, he considered it mere speculation. He replied, "Don't talk nonsense. She's just helping out as a favor."
"Those who understand, understand. The company is operating normally now. Do you have any further instructions?" Lu Fei asked while eating his lunch.
"The vegetables in the greenhouses will be ready for sale in about a week. So I wanted to ask if you've found any sales channels?"
"Oh, that. Don't worry, I've already found a large wholesale client for vegetables, and the prices have been negotiated. Our vegetables are ultimately meant for ordinary people's tables, so we can't price them as expensively as for five-star hotels. Most families can't afford that. So, my pricing is about three times the market price, but for high-end customers, the price will be adjusted accordingly. I'll send you the price list in photo form later. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, I can make adjustments, as we haven't signed any contracts with the collaborators yet."
Liu Yifeng nodded after hearing this. "Alright, show me later. Our vegetables are different from ordinary ones. They have extremely high nutritional value and can enhance immunity with long-term consumption. This is much better than taking those outrageously expensive health supplements. So, don't worry about the price being too high to sell. Later, take samples of our vegetables to a professional institution for testing. Let the facts speak for themselves. Also, find a reputable advertising company to promote our vegetables, so more people know about the vegetables our company grows." He knew that to expand sales beyond the provincial market, advertising could play a significant role. Many products, before promotion, were like unbranded goods, but after promotion, their value would multiply. Some people would rather buy the product at a higher price after promotion than before, because they believed that only products with brand recognition were trustworthy. Therefore, his vegetables also needed to be promoted through advertising, and through its reach, more people would come to know about the vegetables he cultivated.
