At that moment, Miss Xu Huimin called to discuss advertising on the county TV station.
Luo Yang suggested they go out for a late-night snack and talk about it while eating.
So, Luo Yang bid farewell to Pang Yifang, taking Zhu Li and others to leave the Marriott Hotel first while Pang Yifang and his group continued to enjoy themselves there.
After leaving the hotel, Chen Jie said, "Niu Zai, don't take it to heart. You've already shown him enough respect. If you really hit him hard, he would have been in the hospital tonight."
Luo Yang laughed, "Sister Chen, no matter what, I dampened his spirits. I was forced to do it. He was just too arrogant."
If Xu Zhiping had only boasted about how great Taekwondo was, Luo Yang might have endured it; unfortunately, his insulting words were unbearable and ignited a fire within Luo Yang, leaving no tolerance left.
The group took a car and left the Marriott Hotel, driving along Coastal Avenue, and arrived at the night market within a few minutes. Luo Yang had arranged for Miss Xu Huimin to join them for seafood.
On the way, Luo Yang, Hong Jiaxin, and An Yuying were riding in Zhu Li's car, driven by Zhu Li herself. Chen Jie drove an empty car.
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Luo Yang sat in the middle, with Hong Jiaxin on his left and An Yuying on his right.
The two engaged in a warm exchange.
Unaware of the subtle interaction occurring between Luo Yang and An Yuying, Hong Jiaxin sat on the other side. Luo Yang acted composed and dignified, secretly navigating the situation.
The seafood restaurant was located by the river, with tables and chairs set outside the shop, occupying the riverbank. Each seat was fitted with a colorful parasol, creating a beach-like ambiance, the only thing missing was sand underfoot.
The night air was cooling like water, with the eastward flow of the river, the lights shimmering in the water, and the noisy diners on the banks made for a lively atmosphere.
It was just past nine o'clock, the peak time for late-night snacks.
Luo Yang's table was the center of attention, with handsome guys and beautiful girls forming a scene of their own.
A while later, Miss Xu Huimin hurried over and joined the table.
After ordering food, while waiting, Luo Yang discussed advertising with Miss Xu Huimin.
"Director Luo, I've talked to my colleagues. It's not easy to advertise on our county TV station, but I can find connections to get it approved. You work with an advertising agency to produce the commercial, then we can broadcast it on the station," said Miss Xu Huimin.
"Then I'll get in touch with you after I've found someone to shoot the commercial," Luo Yang replied.
His company had yet to be established, and he couldn't rush it. He had to wait until the company was officially formed before finding an advertising agency to shoot the commercial.
As for his choices to star in the commercial, he had decided on Hong Jiaxin, An Yuying, Zhu Li, Chen Jie, Tang Guihua, and Suyun. They had all used the beauty stream products, had excellent skin, as well as stunning figures and faces that could rival those of female stars.
Although Miss Xu Huimin was aware that Luo Yang's products were destined to take the world by storm, she was currently busy with her job as a journalist and helping Luo Yang for free. She was somewhat uncertain, not yet fully committed to joining Luo Yang's venture.
As a woman, she had backup options. Finding a good husband to marry in the future could also promise a comfortable life.
But she always preferred to be self-reliant, loved her job as a journalist, and was equally enthusiastic about the prospective role of public relations manager that Luo Yang would offer her.
Working in a large company was an opportunity to truly grow.
The enterprise was still in its early stages, all plans were like castles in the air, and the success was uncertain. She had her apprehensions.
"Miss Xu, from your experience, these two god-sisters of mine, and these two..." Luo Yang hesitated when he got to An Yuying and Hong Jiaxin. In An Yuying's eyes, she should be his girlfriend, but Hong Jiaxin thought differently.
Pausing briefly, Luo Yang vaguely said, "How can we make these four beauties popular on social media?"
Miss Xu Huimin suggested, "Given how pretty they are, they could do live streams to gather popularity, then use soft-selling articles to attract followers. They could quickly become internet celebrities, and then use the social accounts for advertising."
Just then, Miss Xu Huimin's phone rang. After she answered it, she said, "Mom, I'm still out eating with friends. I'll buy the medicine for you later."
After the call, Miss Xu Huimin let out a sigh, her demeanor turning somewhat heavy.
Luo Yang expressed his concern, "Miss Xu, is your mother ill?"
She nodded slightly and replied, "Yes. Elderly people tend to have health issues easily. Minor sicknesses are manageable, but she has diabetes, which is really hard to deal with."
At that moment, An Yuying chimed in, "Miss Xu, you may not know this, but he knows how to treat diabetes. My mother had diabetes for many years, and he treated her. She's much better now."
Hearing this, Miss Xu Huimin looked at Luo Yang in surprise and asked, "Director Luo, you can cure diabetes?"
Seeing Luo Yang nod, she was overjoyed.
"Director Luo, when could you please see my mother for her illness?" Miss Xu Huimin asked earnestly.
"Let's go to your house now. I'll check your mother's pulse and see what her condition is like," Luo Yang offered enthusiastically.
In early stages of building his business, he needed Miss Xu Huimin's help for many things. Doing her this favor would help establish good relations for future conversations. After all, you need to offer face to receive face from others.
It's the way of making things easier for others and yourself.
At that moment, the food, including lobsters, crabs, oysters, and more, had just been served, and they hadn't started eating yet.
Touched by Luo Yang's willingness to help, Miss Xu Huimin said, "Great! Let's go then."
