Abandoned the Immortal Cultivator, returned to his hometown to farm and sing

Chapter 1386, page 1373: Preparations before the ceremony
Located on the banks of the Liangma River in Chaoyang District of Beijing, adjacent to the Third Embassy District, it is situated in the city's core business and diplomatic area.

It is only about a 20-minute drive from Beijing Capital International Airport, and also provides convenient access to historical and cultural attractions such as the Forbidden City and the Great Wall.

The building has 27 floors and features 247 guest rooms, 66 suites, and one royal suite.

The building houses a Cantonese restaurant, an Italian restaurant, a teahouse, as well as a variety of high-end leisure and entertainment facilities such as a gym, swimming pool, and spa.

It is the Four Seasons Hotel, ranked number one on the list of the top ten five-star hotels in Beijing.

Luo Yihang booked the entire place.

This is solely for the benefit of everyone from Qingyin Agricultural Laboratory who are attending the celebration, as well as the guests.

For high-level talents, Luo Yihang definitely gives them the utmost respect.

In addition, each person brought ten relatives and friends to attend the ceremony, plus the staff who assisted and supported them, totaling several hundred people.

It's convenient for so many people to live together, isn't it?

The reason why each group was picked up and dropped off by a private jet is the same.

The main word is: extravagant!
Someone is about to deliver money, and it's a large sum of money.

Money's no object, so spend it as much as you want.

There are always "kind people" wherever you go.

Don't you think so?

Dear old John...

Upon arriving at the hotel, Yin Feng felt a little flustered.

It wasn't because of the towering buildings, nor because of the luxurious hotel lobby.

Although the Four Seasons Hotel is one of the top five-star hotels in Beijing, its facade and decorations are glittering and exude luxury.

But Yin Feng had seen it all; all the decorations in front of him probably didn't cost as much as a single piece of equipment in the laboratory.

What alarmed him was that such a large hotel had very few people inside, and the echoes in the corridors were quite unsettling.

So much so that fewer than three thousand people could see Gong Lei's shiny forehead and the elegant beauties on the sofa in the lobby.

It felt like seeing a long-lost relative.

It seems that Gong Lei was specifically waiting for Yin Feng.

Upon seeing Yin Feng and his entourage enter the hotel lobby, they immediately went to greet them.

Then he shoved Yin Feng aside and enthusiastically reached out to Yin Feng's father, saying, "You must be Xiao Yin's father. I recognized you at a glance. You two look so alike."

It was too sudden and too enthusiastic, leaving Yin Feng's father completely bewildered.

Yin Feng quickly introduced, "Dad, this is my colleague, Gong Lei, from the breeding department."

Yin Feng's father smiled broadly, grasped Gong Lei's hand tightly, and thanked him as usual: "Hello, hello, thank you for taking care of me. Yin Feng must have caused you a lot of trouble."

After saying that, he turned to his son and said, "How can you talk like that? You can't just call an elder by their name. You have to call them 'Uncle'."

Gong Lei: ...Heartbroken.

Is it my fault that I'm bald? Besides, I look pretty young... right?

He turned his head and glanced at Yin Feng.

Sure enough, that kid was chuckling to himself, not even trying to hide it.

“Dad, Lei is still young, only twenty-six. He just looks older than his age.”

Gong Lei: "..."

You might as well call me uncle.

Upon hearing this, Yin Feng's father also looked embarrassed, "Um... um... Hello, Teacher Gong."

If I don't know how to say it, then I'll just ask again.

What followed was another chaotic introduction and flattery, with everyone, regardless of age, addressing Teacher Gong as Yin Feng's father.

The fact that he's here, and is Yin Feng's colleague, shows that although he looks older than his age... a bit too much, he must be a great scientist.

We're aiming to win an award together this time.

I learned this from casual conversation.

Yin Feng and his group were the fourth to arrive. He and Lao Yu, another colleague, arrived early in the morning.

Gong Lei lives on the 16th floor, and Lao Yu lives on the 17th floor.

Shi Juan arrived in the morning and stayed on the 18th floor with Chu Jie.

She went home first and came here by private jet. This time, the boss arranged private jets for everyone except Leng Yao, whose name is particularly handsome.

That unlucky guy from Hebei Province came by car and didn't get to enjoy a private jet.

Therefore, Yin Feng was arranged to stay in room 808 on the 8th floor.

Yin Feng: "??? Why do you all live on the 10th floor, but I live on the 8th floor?"

“808 is a good number,” Gong Lei said casually, his hands busy sending messages.

Yin Feng, not understanding what was going on, followed Gong Lei to the eighth floor in the elevator.

At the entrance of 808, Lao Yu, Shi Juan, and Chu Jie were already waiting; they must have been the ones Gong Lei had called down earlier.

Gong Lei quickly took two steps forward and joined them, with the four of them standing on either side.

They started clapping and even held a check-in ceremony, it was quite a grand affair.

But the expression on their faces...

Yin Feng could tell at a glance that there was definitely something wrong.

But it was too late. Gong Lei reached out and opened the door, calling out in a strained voice, "Welcome!"

When the door opened, Yin Feng was dumbfounded.

This is a particularly cozy family suite, decorated with colorful sunflowers, roses, bunnies, and lambs, all in a lovely pink and adorable style.

"What...what is this?" Yin Feng turned and walked away.

Gong Lei and Lao Yu were prepared; they grabbed him on either side and shoved him into the room.

Shi Juan put her arm around Chu Jie's shoulder and laughed until tears streamed down her face.

“Xiaofeng, we fell in love with this apartment at first sight when we were looking for a place. We think it’s perfect for you. There’s even a slide inside.”

Open the bedroom door, and there's a slide inside.

There are even butterflies on it.

"This was prepared for you. See how good we are to you?" Gong Lei patted Yin Feng on the shoulder, his face full of sincerity.

It would be even better if you didn't try to suppress your laughter.

Or, like the old fish, turn your head and shrug your shoulders, making a "puff~puff puff~~" sound.

That's better than talking.

Yin Feng was furious and powerless, but nothing could be changed.

Chu Jie had already offered to help push his luggage in and was even hanging up his clothes.

Yin Feng was heartbroken, "Brother Chu Jie, how could you..."

Chu Jie smiled but didn't say anything, secretly giving Shi Juan a look.

His wife wanted to play, what could he do but sacrifice Yin Feng?

Yin Feng's parents were overjoyed to see this. Look how well Xiao Feng gets along with his colleagues...
-
Yin Feng's family also lived on the eighth floor.

Anyway, we've booked the whole place; there are plenty of rooms, so feel free to stay anywhere.

Then they went to check out the floor where Gong Lei and his group were staying, which infuriated Yin Feng, as they were staying in regular suites.

Gong Lei patted him on the shoulder again, "Be content. Ours is only 70-something square meters, while yours is over 80. There are only two children's rooms in the whole hotel, so you should be grateful."

"Oh." Yin Feng understood. So there's another way; whoever arrives late is unlucky.

"Who's the next set for?" Yin Feng chuckled softly.

Gong Lei raised his eyebrows and chuckled in response.

Four... no, now it's five bad boys, plotting to swindle people again.

The original plan was that everyone could choose their own room upon arrival, and there would be room to spare on each floor.

However, everyone who came after them was stripped of this right.

One by one, complaints arose.

Then more and more bad boys appeared.

It was incredibly boring, yet surprisingly interesting.

Finally, it was 7 p.m.

Wenying led the last batch of the Tianhan team, nearly eighty people, to check into the Four Seasons Hotel.

Finally, everyone arrived.

Luo Yihang organized a grand welcoming ceremony.

The main activities are eating and drinking, and then you can play freely in the hotel all night long, all free of charge.

I slept until I naturally woke up the next day.

For the first time, the relatives and friends who accompanied the ceremony witnessed the way Qingyin Agriculture operates.

In short, it's down-to-earth.

However, starting from the second day, the hotel's facilities, such as the swimming pool and spa, were only available to the guests attending the ceremony.

Meanwhile, the main characters like Yin Feng and Wen Ying fared much worse. From then on, they never went to the swimming pool again, and rarely even went to restaurants. Luo Yihang, this "heartless capitalist," didn't invite them to the capital five days in advance for relaxation.

There's a lot to do.

First came Ke Shaotong, who arrived with a large pile of clothes, as well as a designer and styling team.

Arrange clothing for Wenying and the others.

Everything was newly made, specially designed by a brand under the Luoxia Alliance.

Since it's our own property, we might as well use it.

The outfit consists of three sets.

For the formal attire on the day of the ceremony, the men wore navy blue three-piece suits, the same color as Qingyin Agriculture's work uniforms.

It features a deep space blue base, a silver galaxy jacquard tie, and iris cuffs.

A woman's Chinese-style collared blazer paired with a boxy pleated skirt, the side of which is embroidered with a marigold pattern.

The color scheme is deep space blue for the top and starry silver for the bottom, matching the men's tie.

The starry sky and the Milky Way represent the celestial cosmos.

It comes from the Milky Way, which is also the Milky Way in the sky.

It also implies that our goal is the stars and the sea.

Casual formal attire worn during media interviews.

The man is wearing a single-breasted suit, with a charcoal gray jacket and ink-white trousers.

It's like a color clash, but not quite; the color scheme is very bold.

He wasn't wearing a tie, but rather a dandelion-patterned pocket square, which he folded up and tucked into his breast pocket, mainly for decorative purposes.

A string of musical notes is embroidered on the inside of the cuffs and collar, representing Qingyin Agriculture.

The woman wore a lavender blue and laurel yellow suit jacket with straight-leg trousers, and paired it with a white silk scarf with a dandelion pattern.

A string of musical notes is also embroidered on the cufflinks and collar.

There was also casual wear for attending commemorative events.

The men's outfit consists of a wheat-yellow stand-up collar jacket and chestnut brown straight-leg trousers, with the warp and weft threads carved using the kesi (silk tapestry) technique to form a magnolia flower pattern.

The lady wore an ochre wool long coat paired with a rice-gold satin ankle-length dress, with a brocade top adorned with iris flowers.

And fearing a sudden change in weather, both the man and woman wore a caramel chestnut brown and a camel cashmere coat respectively.

Each outfit features one or two core elements, incorporating various techniques such as embroidery, jacquard, and tapestry.

Follow appropriate dress etiquette for different occasions, prioritizing formality and elegance.

The people present did not understand the meaning behind these clothes.

But just by looking at it intuitively, you can tell at a glance that these clothes are beautiful.

The price is also attractive.

Each set of clothes costs tens of thousands of yuan to produce.

If you're selling it outside, it has to be at least a six-figure sum starting with five.

Definitely a luxury item.

And even if you have the money, there's nowhere to buy it.

These are all out of print and will not be produced again.

Then, one designer serves one person, trying on outfits one by one.

Then, each set was modified and cut on-site.

Then came makeup, hairstyle, and accessories.

Luo Yihang's requirement for Ke Shaotong can be summed up in four words: perfection.

Ke Shaotong did the same.

Then it caused a lot of worry for researchers like Wen Ying and Yin Feng, who don't usually pay much attention to their personal image and are even a bit unkempt.

I had no idea that dressing up was so troublesome; it was even more tiring than staying up all night in the lab staring at data.

But as for the result...

They were all standing in front of the mirror, unable to move.

Look, where did this handsome young man come from?

Back in the room, they were met with a chorus of "wows".

Their parents, friends, and elders never knew their child was so handsome.

Then, Luo Yihang waved his hand and gave three sets to everyone.

Several million dollars have been spent again.
-
After the fitting, Ke Shaotong left; she had a lot of things to do too.

However, the styling team was left behind; more than a dozen stylists will stay with them until the end of the National Day holiday.

Then Wenying and the others immediately started their classes again.

This celebration was too grand, and Qingyin Agriculture has recently been involved in a lot of big things.

There will definitely be a lot of interviews.

It's fine for mainstream media; they'll definitely report on it positively.

But what about the irregular ones?

They are most adept at taking things out of context, distorting the original meaning, and generalizing from limited information.

There have been instances where marketing accounts have misinterpreted the statement that "evaluating the taste and characteristics of sweet potatoes by eating them raw, tasting hundreds of sweet potatoes every year to select and cultivate superior varieties" as "experts have spent 10 years researching and concluded that sweet potatoes can be eaten raw," and then fabricated stories claiming that they had cheated out of 10 years of research funding, which would then be recovered.

This isn't just taking things out of context; it's pure fabrication.

I have to guard against it.

Wenying and her colleagues are all engaged in scientific research and usually live a secluded life, so they haven't experienced much malice from the media.

Therefore, Luo Yihang hired several veteran reporters to teach them how to deal with reporters.

They also hired a group of people who run marketing accounts and taught them how to deal with their tactics.

Anyway, both black and white people are coming.

There was also Han Yun, who organized more than 70 people to stay at the hotel and handle online public opinion on site.

In addition, Chu Jie organized a gathering, bringing together the heads of various online marketing companies to the capital.

Spend a lot of money placing orders, occupying all of their time, and let them hype things up.

Then they brought people from various MCN companies to Beijing, providing them with a one-stop shop for food, drinks, and entertainment. They even invited officials from the Cyberspace Administration of China to accompany them, showering each of them with money and placing orders with their respective influencers.

Let them try to ride the wave of popularity.

However, he declared to her face, "Don't cause me any trouble while I'm celebrating. Whoever makes me unhappy for a moment, I'll make them unhappy for a lifetime."

A carrot in one hand and a stick in the other.

The group of people he dealt with were completely subdued.

Whether it's out of fear, for the sake of money, or for the sake of future orders, it's all about that.

They all patted their chests and guaranteed that they would absolutely not cause any trouble during this period. Even if someone came to their door wanting to cause trouble, no matter how much money it cost, they would tell President Chu immediately.

Get on the road.

With money paving the way in front and threats of force behind, the public opinion field has been stabilized.

Even if a few self-proclaimed supporters make some sarcastic remarks, they won't cause any real trouble.

Besides prior arrangements in the public opinion arena.

Wenying and the others still have a lot to do.

First, the relevant government departments came to our door to explain the arrangements for the ceremony on September 30th in great detail, down to the minute.

There are also arrangements for various activities during the National Day holiday after the ceremony.

Next, I will be giving interviews to various media outlets and television stations.

The main task is for CCTV, which needs to gather material for its reports on the day and during the National Day holiday.

We also discussed which programs to appear on, the process, and the interview outline.

I just finished learning it, and I'm already putting it to practical use...

From September 26th to 29th, the relatives and friends who came to witness the ceremony had a great time.

Luo Yihang arranged a car and a tour guide to take them around, offering several routes to choose from each day, or they could explore on their own.

Meanwhile, the main characters were having a blast.

These past four days have been busy from morning till night, without a moment's rest.

Poor Gong Lei, he's lost dozens more of his 3,000 beauties.

One by one, people grumbled and lamented, saying that winning this award was no job for a human being.

Amidst wails and cries.

Finally, September 30th arrived.

shuh~~
All resentment vanished.

All that's left is tension...
