Taking Liu Yifei back to Northeast China for the Chinese New Year has sent the entire internet into

the other side.

Sister Wang and Sister Hong, two top agents who dominate the entertainment industry, are each experiencing what it means to be like ants on a hot pan in their respective offices.

Their phones have been bombarded with calls from their respective companies' public relations teams.

"Sister Wang, what should we do? The toilet cleaner meme has gone viral, Pepsi is definitely going to be in an uproar! Their legal department is notoriously difficult to deal with, shouldn't we prepare an apology statement right away?"

"Sister Hong, this is terrible! The dishwater thing is trending at number one! A friend in Coca-Cola's PR department told me that their top management is furious, and the legal department has started working on it overnight! What are we going to do?!"

The two men were completely bewildered by the urgent report coming from the phone.

These two have really messed up a huge mess!

These are two giants from the Fortune Global 500!

If this really goes to court, not only will Fang Yu and Liu Yifei be in trouble, but their company will also be severely punished!

Just when the two were extremely anxious.

Their phones rang at almost the same time.

The caller ID showed only unfamiliar numbers.

Sister Wang frowned as she answered the phone.

"Feed? Hello?"

A warm and polite voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, are you Mr. Fang Yu's agent, Ms. Wang?"

"I am Zhang Wei, the Marketing Director of Coca-Cola Greater China."

"I apologize for calling, but I'd like to discuss a collaboration with you..."

Sister Wang was stunned.

Cooperation?

At this critical juncture?

Coca-Cola says it wants to discuss cooperation?

At the same time, Sister Hong also answered the phone.

"Hello, I am Ms. Liu Yifei's agent. May I ask who you are?"

"Hello, Ms. Hong! I'm the Marketing Director at PepsiCo! I've heard so much about you!"

"We would like to invite Ms. Liu Yifei..."

Sister Hong was also stunned.

The two women held their phones, listening to the fantastical collaboration offer coming from the other end, their minds completely blank.

Has this world gone mad?

Ms. Wang felt that there might be something wrong with her ears.

She took the phone away from her ear, looked at the screen, then put it back, tentatively asking:

"Director Zhang...you mean Director Zhang? What did you just say?"

"My signal is not very good, I couldn't hear you clearly."

Zhang Wei on the other end of the phone laughed even more enthusiastically.

"Sister Wang, I've said that our Coca-Cola board of directors held an emergency meeting overnight and unanimously decided!"

"Breaking with all conventions, we've made an exception and invited Mr. Fang Yu to be our brand ambassador for the entire product line across Greater China!"

"We'll offer 80 million a year for the endorsement fee!"

"As long as you agree, the legal department will revise the contract overnight and send it to your email tonight!"

boom!

Sister Wang felt as if a bomb had exploded in her head.

Spokesperson?

Eighty million?

Is this...is this a dream?

One second she was racking her brains over how to deal with Pepsi's lawyer's letter.

The next second, her arch-rival Coca-Cola suddenly appeared, holding a sky-high endorsement contract, and chased after her, trying to shove it into her hands.

The reversal came too fast, like a tornado, leaving Sister Wang dizzy and disoriented.

She has been in the industry for over a decade, managing countless artists and handling all sorts of bizarre public relations crises.

But what happened today completely overturned her professional understanding.

……

On the other side, Sister Hong's situation was similar.

She held her phone, listening to the Pepsi marketing director talking non-stop.

"...Sister Hong, we've analyzed it. Ms. Liu Yifei's aloof, noble, and independent yet self-assured temperament is a perfect match for Pepsi's 'Dream Within' brand spirit!"

"As for Fang Yu's 'toilet cleaner' joke? We don't care at all! We should even thank him!"

"It was he who made the whole nation see how deeply Ms. Liu loves our brand!"

"We've decided to skip the entire evaluation period and extend a top-tier invitation to Ms. Liu to become the brand ambassador for PepsiCo Greater China!"

"Ms. Liu, name your name on the endorsement fee and all conditions! We will not haggle!"

Hong Jie's expression went from shock to confusion, and then to numbness.

She felt that all the professional knowledge she had acquired over the years had gone to waste.

What's wrong with this world?

Forget it, I don't want to.

I can't figure it out no matter how hard I try.

Sister Hong sent a message to Liu Yifei's assistant.

"Inform the styling team to prepare more blue-toned clothing and accessories for Yifei from now on."

……

In Kaoshantun, at the Fang family's courtyard.

Fang Yu and Liu Yifei had no idea that the elementary school-level argument they had sparked over buying Coca-Cola had already created a huge upheaval in the business world.

Little did they know that their personal value had risen to a new level in just a few minutes.

In the courtyard, preparations for the New Year's Eve dinner have entered a critical stage.

Zhao Guifang had already wrapped the dumplings. The plump, white dumplings were squeezed onto a large bamboo mat, looking very festive.

But it's not time to cook it yet.

In Northeast China, dumplings are the main dish at the end of the Lunar New Year's Eve dinner.

Before that, there must be a few main dishes to set the tone.

Zhao Guifang was busy in the kitchen, the sounds of pots and pans clattering and clanging.

Fang Yu then moved a small stool, sat at the kitchen doorway, crossed his legs, and started eating sunflower seeds while facing the drone camera, becoming a food content creator.

"Hey guys, see this stuff my mom's stewing in the pot?"

He pointed to the large iron pot on the stove, which was sizzling and steaming.

"Chicken stew with mushrooms is the top of the four major stews in Northeast China, a fighter jet among hearty dishes."

As the camera zooms in, you can see the broth bubbling in the pot, with golden chicken pieces and dark brown mushrooms floating in it, filling the air with a wonderful aroma.

Liu Yifei was also attracted by the fragrance and came closer, her big eyes filled with curiosity.

"Is there anything special about this dish?"

"There are many intricacies involved."

Fang Yu spat the sunflower seed shells aside and began his science popularization session.

"In Northeast China, there's an old saying: 'When the son-in-law is brought in, the chicks are scared out of their wits.'"

"This chicken stew with mushrooms is also called 'son-in-law's dish'."

Liu Yifei blinked, quickly realizing what she meant, and asked curiously, "Is this specifically for entertaining the new son-in-law?"

"Bingo." Fang Yu snapped his fingers. "In the past, when a new son-in-law visited for the first time, the mother-in-law had to cook this dish, as it represented the highest level of hospitality."

"If this dish isn't on the table, it means the mother-in-law isn't very satisfied with her son-in-law."

As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Yifei with an air of seriousness and sighed.

"What a pity, if you were a man, this meal would be quite different."

"My mom is probably looking at you right now, not the chickens."

"Pfft..."

Liu Yifei was amused by his sudden joke and laughed out loud. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she gently pushed him.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

The live stream chat exploded instantly.

Holy crap! I think I understood something incredible!

[Fang Yu, you beast! What are you implying?!]

[OMG! This couple is so adorable!]

[Aunt Zhao: I stewed chicken, but it seems like it's more than just chicken.]
