CHAPTER 686: CHAPTER 61: TROUBLE ARISES AT CHANGBAI MOUNTAIN

On the first day of the New Year, Xiao Xian and Feng Xing had a meal with Zhuo Feng in the hospital.

With the help of Zhou Ziang, on the night of the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, he had delivered the antiemetic that he had developed. At the same time, he also brought along a small bag of Purple Ginseng Seedlings, which Xiao Xian promised to transplant when returning to school.

Mao Dazhu and his family also came to visit Zhuo Feng, and the hospital room bustled until the afternoon. Xiao Xian stood up to help Feng Xing see off the guests, and as they passed the hospital’s waiting area, on the TV hung on the wall, there was an entertainment news broadcast.

"At the start of the New Year, the entertainment industry has kicked off with a ’female star transformation trend’. The time-honored pure actress Chen Sha suddenly switched her style, going fully nude in a Hollywood blockbuster ’Abstinence’ alongside international superstar Leonardo, shocking the global entertainment industry. We are now going to interview Miss Chen Sha to see what made her give up her long-held acting boundaries."

Mao Dazhu stopped, his mouth agape, pointing at the TV showing a celebrity surrounded by people, a 25-26-year-old, with curly wave hair, wearing sunglasses, enchanting looks, and though the makeup wasn’t thick, the confidence in her eyes was intimidating. She was naturally a figure of the entertainment industry, dazzling in every move.

The young people sitting in the waiting area all recognized Chen Sha, and Mao Yi was no exception; the men watched with relish while the women whispered among themselves. Chen Sha had always had a good reputation, and now, even if she changed her style, it didn’t make her disagreeable.

The young people just watched, but Mao Dazhu, being older, still squeezed towards the TV, irritating Aunt Mao who really wanted to shoo him away with a feather duster, "Come back, you old man, aren’t you already cold enough."

"Don’t yell, it’s her, I remember she came to our store recently to buy something including dew," Mao Dazhu finally saw clearly the big star surrounded by countless cameras and reporters on the TV.

When Xiao Xian heard about dew, she almost choked; how had her "Life is like a dream" rose perfume turned into dew? She indeed carried out a little trick, slipping a small label underneath the cherry juice gifts sent to the Beijing Hotel. She also gave the right to vacation sales of the carefully refined rose perfume and cherry jam to the Agricultural Specialty Store. In addition, the store also laid out ginger cherry soda, so it wouldn’t conflict with the business of those hotels, nor cut off her own revenue stream.

As for whether the star on TV who seemed to stand out with her charisma really coincidentally drank the cherry juice and sought out Yanqing Farm, Xiao Xian had no way of knowing.

The shouting of Mao Dazhu had no effect; everyone was still staring at Chen Sha on the screen.

Chen Sha then took off her sunglasses, revealing a beautiful face. The journalists who knew Chen Sha exclaimed that her complexion had improved, and even her skin had become smoother than before.

Facing billions of viewers nationwide during the Spring Festival, Chen Sha said with a smile, "Recently, I stumbled upon a brand, its organic drinks and natural rose perfume have benefited me a lot, helping me discover that I am, in fact, a woman."

This statement, once made, caused an uproar both inside and outside the TV. Chen Sha, a well-known actress, suddenly made such a statement.

"As a woman, one should emit different scents at different ages. Just like a rose, initially blooming with a slightly astringent fragrance, as it blooms denser, it reaches a beautiful state. My participation in ’Abstinence’ is to show everyone, it’s time for Chen Sha, as a woman, to reveal her fragrance. I sincerely thank Yanqing Agricultural Specialties Store that delivered this ’Life is like a dream’ rose perfume."

In front of the TV, Mao Dazhu gasped a few times, struggling to control himself, then turned around and hugged Feng Xing, "Nephew, did you see that? She mentioned our store, my store’s perfume."

In the hospital’s waiting area, both Feng Xing and Xiao Xian smiled helplessly.

The fact proved that the celebrity effect was terrifying; Chen Sha might not have expected that her simple commendation would make fans nationwide, who were waiting for the movie ’Abstinence’, frantically search for that infrequently mentioned, even unbranded perfume and organic beverages.

It was only after the TV segment that the supply manager of the Beijing Hotel learned that the female supplier from Cherry Valley had stealthily hooked such a big fish. However, they also made a small fortune, as the value of the cherry juice and jam supplied had doubled after the promotion, and according to the three-year contract signed by Xiao Xian and the hotel, the supply was to be done at the original price.
