Reborn in 79, the educated youth wife regretted her divorce.

Chapter 186 As Expected

Jiang Yang muttered to himself, seemingly savoring something.

Seeing Jiang Yang's reaction, Li Yu knew he had a chance and quickly struck while the iron was hot.

"This Liu Xiaoqing has a great temperament, superb acting skills, and most importantly, the people love her! Let me tell you, this girl is destined to become a household name and a big star in the future!"

Jiang Yang nodded inwardly. Li Yu's eye for talent was truly remarkable. Liu Xiaoqing was the goddess in the hearts of countless people for decades to come! If they could get her to endorse Yang Xin, the effect... just thinking about it was exciting!

"Yes, that's really good. Try contacting Liu Xiaoqing and see if you can arrange a time for everyone to have a meal together and talk about the collaboration."

"Got it!"

Li Yu was incredibly efficient. A few days later, he excitedly ran to tell Jiang Yang that he had already made contact with Liu Xiaoqing.

Jiang Yang, along with Chu Lan and Li Yu, arrived at Chef Yang's restaurant early. Their task for the day was to discuss a collaboration with Liu Xiaoqing.

"Jiang, do you think Liu Xiaoqing would agree to be our spokesperson?"

"Don't worry, as long as we are sincere enough and offer good enough terms, I don't think she will refuse."

A short while later, a figure appeared at the door. It was a graceful woman, dressed in a well-fitting suit that accentuated her shapely figure. Her long, glossy black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her light makeup made her even more radiant and beautiful.

The person who arrived was none other than Liu Xiaoqing!

"Miss Liu, hello, please have a seat!"

Chu Lan and Li Yu also quickly stood up and greeted Liu Xiaoqing.

"President Jiang, hello! I've long heard that President Jiang of Yangxin is young and promising, and meeting you today, I can confirm that your reputation is well-deserved!"

"Miss Liu, you flatter me! You are truly the epitome of elegance and beauty!"

Jiang Yang responded with a smile.

After everyone sat down, they exchanged pleasantries and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Liu Xiaoqing truly deserves her status as a household name in film and television. Her every move exudes a charm that other women her age lack. Every smile and gesture is pleasing to the eye.

This kind of temperament can only be cultivated through stage experience and the passage of time; it is something that naive young girls of this era cannot easily imitate.

After chatting for a while, the atmosphere was harmonious, and Jiang Yang felt that the time was right, so he took the initiative to speak.

"Miss Liu, to be honest, besides wanting to make friends with you, there is another important matter I would like to discuss with you today."

"Please speak freely, Mr. Jiang."

"Well, Yang Xin would like to invite you to be our brand ambassador."

"Brand ambassador? What... does that mean?"

Liu Xiaoqing did not know what the term "brand ambassador" meant.

This is understandable, since the concept of a brand ambassador was still a blank slate in mainland China at that time.

Jiang Yang patiently explained: "The so-called brand ambassador, simply put, means using your image to represent our Yangxin brand image. You need to take some promotional photos for us and participate in some necessary promotional activities so that more people can learn about and recognize our products through you."

"Of course, in return, we will pay you an endorsement fee of 500 yuan! It will be paid in full at once! You will also receive corresponding subsidies for attending related events in the future."

"five hundred!"

Liu Xiaoqing exclaimed in surprise; she simply couldn't believe her ears!

You have to understand that in those days, an ordinary worker's monthly salary was only a few dozen yuan, or five hundred yuan, which was equivalent to an ordinary person's annual income!

Although Liu Xiaoqing was an actress, the concept of a star did not exist in mainland China at that time, and the income gap between people was not significant.

For an actress like her who is already somewhat famous, the salary for filming a movie is only a few hundred yuan.

"President Jiang, you...you're not joking, are you?"

"Of course! Ms. Liu, Yangxin sincerely wants to cooperate with you. We believe that with your image and influence, you can definitely bring a qualitative improvement to our brand!"

Liu Xiaoqing's heart was pounding. Of course she was tempted. How many people wouldn't be tempted by such a generous reward?

But she still had some concerns about such a completely new concept.

"President Jiang, I appreciate your sincerity and I am very satisfied with the price. However, I cannot make this decision on my own; I need to go back and consult with my superiors."

"I understand! There's no rush. Miss Liu, please go back and think it over slowly. Even if it doesn't work out, it's alright. It's already an honor to have met someone like Miss Liu today."

Afterwards, Liu Xiaoqing left her contact information and departed.

The next day, Zhao Hai arrived as promised, carrying a thick stack of manuscript paper, his face showing some trepidation.

"Jiang Yang, this is my first draft. Take a look."

"No rush, are you hungry? Let's go to Chef Yang's and chat while we eat."

Jiang Yang asked for a seat by the window, asked Shen Qing to bring out a few signature dishes, and also got two bottles of beer.

The dishes were served quickly, and Jiang Yang chatted with Zhao Hai while flipping through the manuscript.

Zhao Hai is indeed familiar with life in northern Shaanxi. The characters he writes about are lifelike and leap off the page. The local customs and traditions between the lines are even more delicate and subtle, as if taking the reader to that yellow earth.

In some details, Zhao Hai's work is even more vivid than that of the original author of this book in his previous life.

Jiang Yang became more and more satisfied with what he saw.

"Excellent, truly excellent! Zhao Hai, your manuscript is truly well-written!"

"I'm just glad you're satisfied. I'm so afraid I won't meet your requirements."

"However, this book is quite long, and I still found some problems."

He then picked up a pen, pointed to several places on the manuscript paper, and patiently explained them.

"Look here, the characters' inner thoughts could be more nuanced. And this, the plot progression is a bit abrupt; it could be built up a bit more..."

Zhao Hai listened intently, occasionally taking notes in his notebook. Jiang Yang had unique insights into literary creation, and his humility impressed Zhao Hai greatly.

"Alright, that's about it. Go back and think about it some more, and try to make this book even more perfect!"

"Yes, I will definitely do my best!"

After having dinner and seeing Zhao Hai off, Jiang Yang returned to school alone.

As soon as I arrived at the school gate, I saw Hu Kang waiting there.

"Jiang Yang, come on! Come with me to the research institute!"

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Great news! Fantastic news! The blueprints for the first bicycle have been completed!"

"So fast?"

Jiang Yang was surprised, and the two of them immediately rushed to the research institute.

"Previously, I invited several senior engineers to conduct a comprehensive survey and analysis of bicycles on the market! After a lot of discussion, we designed this new model!"

Hu Kang continued his enthusiastic explanation: "The new car is made of titanium alloy, replacing the original steel! This has resulted in significant improvements in both weight and sturdiness!"
