In order to advertise for Beauty Stream, Luoyang planned to start with local television promotions.
He left the filming of the advertisement to the professionals, but he wanted to design the ad slogans himself.
"Quick, help me come up with an ad slogan, I need it for tomorrow," Luoyang said.
The girls weren't in the advertising business, so asking them to help come up with ad slogans was a tough request.
However, as the saying goes, three cobblers with their wits combined equal Zhuge Liang, and with collective wisdom, there might be some surprising results.
"Whoever comes up with an ad slogan I adopt, I'll give them one thousand yuan," Luoyang declared.
"Niu Zai, one thousand yuan is too little," Qiao Yousi said.
He was just making a gesture.
They were all too familiar to talk about giving money.
Luoyang laughed, "Big Sister Qiao, how much do you want then?"
Qiao Zai Shui quickly replied, "Niu Zai, at least one million. Our slogan will take your Beauty Stream business to the next level."
Hearing this amount, Luoyang stuck out his tongue.
Even hiring a professional advertising agency wouldn't cost a million.
"Little Sister Qiao, then I dare not ask you for an ad slogan," Luoyang laughed.
"Niu Zai, if we all come up with it together, and it works out, then we'll split the one million," Qiao Zai Shui chuckled.
Her idea was met with approval from the other girls.
Tang Guihua said with a smile, "One million is too little, we should ask him for at least ten million."
One was asking for more than the next, and Luoyang could only give a wry smile, "Honored masters, please forgive me for not daring to trouble you, I'll think of it myself."
An Yuying said softly, "Niu Zai, it's better when we all think together. You won't have to pay anything."
On hearing this, Luoyang laughed, "Sister An is the most humane."
Only to hear Tang Guihua give a cold laugh, "I, for one, definitely want money. Anyhow, if I come up with it, you'll have to take it."
This aggressive stance made Luoyang visibly shrink.
"Sister Guihua, it's late, you should rest. Thinking so hard at this hour could affect your health," Luoyang advised.
Tang Guihua let out a snort of laughter and said coyly,
"For a chance to earn your ten million, I don't mind staying up all night."
"Sister Guihua, I've got it figured out."
Knowing that they were just joking, Luoyang only hoped that they would seriously help him come up with ad slogans.
Any regular ad slogan could be thought up on the spot.
But to get those pun-intended, highly effective advertising phrases, one needed a stroke of inspiration.
Therefore, spending more time to contemplate could possibly yield a better ad slogan.
"Niu Zai, I've thought of one," An Yuying said in her sweet voice.
"Sister An, don't rush. Don't say it yet. Let's wait until everyone has their ideas ready. Then we'll compare them one by one and see which one is better and use that," Luoyang said.
Outside, the rain continued to fall, though the thunder seemed to have lessened.
The sound of the wind gradually diminished,
while the raindrops kept pattering tirelessly, like they were performing a symphony of life.
Luoyang also came up with an ad slogan, saying, "You're beautiful, I'm beautiful, she's beautiful, everyone's beautiful—that's true beauty. How about this one?"
The beauties all smiled and nodded in agreement.
Among the girls, the Shuang Qiao were the ones with the most experience in the world of business.
Luoyang asked the Shuang Qiao, and they said it was fine too.
Thus, the ad slogan was decided upon.
With the slogan in place, only the visuals were left.
That was something Luoyang couldn't do himself and had to leave to a professional photographer.
Suyun gave a small yawn and said, "It's getting quite late, let's all go to sleep."
They had only been discussing business because the heavy rain and loud thunder had disturbed their rest.
