Chapter 1369 - 1369: Jiangcheng Koi

Jiangcheng, a bustling area in the city center.

Seven or eight young people spread out, each looking left and right, bending over, as if searching for something.

"There's nothing on the telephone pole."

"Nothing on the manhole cover either."

"Hey? The flowerbed over there..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the group of people rushed over en masse, only to hear one person say, "Mistaken, mistaken."

The people around couldn't help but voice their complaints and then continued to search for what they were looking for.

Scenes like this were almost everywhere in Jiangcheng.

…

Jinyue Garden, in the villa's living room.

The little girl looked at her phone, delighted, "Xiao Feng brother, did you get any reward for planning this 'Jiangcheng Lucky Koi' event?"

"Haven't received anything yet."

"The prizes are so lavish!" The little girl looked at the full list of gifts, her fingers sliding on the screen, eyes shining as she enumerated, "A New Year gift package worth no less than ten thousand, a plush toy three-piece set, a commemorative SUV...

If this is real, then it truly is a lucky koi event!"

Xiao Feng replied indifferently, "Look at the very bottom and check the line in the brackets."

"Hm?" The little girl was puzzled but obediently obliged.

Indeed, at the bottom of the gift list, there was a bracketed line that read: As of now, the total value of gifts has exceeded ten million, and the gifts are still increasing. The list is subject to final release before the end of the event.

Interested sponsors, individuals or enterprises, please call, or send an email.

"Still increasing?" the little girl exclaimed in surprise.

Just as she was about to turn off the screen, she widened her eyes again and said, "Bozai's company and Chang Group, as well as Lanyue Group, are actually on the sponsor list?

Xiao Feng brother, why don't we sponsor something too, just for fun?"

"I have thought about it, but there's nothing available to sponsor," Xiao Feng replied.

This was indeed true, as the Original Heart Pill couldn't be used as a sponsored gift.

Regarding the event approval, it was quite swift; it took only two days to get launched successfully!

Up until now, only a dozen hours remained before the official launch of the 'Jiangcheng Lucky Koi' event.

A dozen hours, with sponsorships surpassing ten million, was beyond Xiao Feng's earlier considerations.

But upon reflection, it actually made perfect sense.

After all, it was an officially initiated event with local businesses eagerly participating, easily boosting goodwill and increasing exposure — why not?

Just then, hearty laughter echoed in from the yard.

"Hahaha! Brother Xiao, your old pal is here!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng's eyes lit up; he naturally recognized it was Zhuang Dezhu's voice.

Given the trademark laughter and distinct way of speaking, the characteristics were quite obvious.

He stepped outside immediately, only to see Du Qingyue already bringing Zhuang Dezhu in.

"Haha, brother, these past two days I've been thinking about you constantly, rummaging through all kinds of things at home. Finally found what you wanted."

Zhuang Dezhu skipped formalities and handed over six old thread-bound books, solemnly saying, "Brother, these items are quite old, and I haven't preserved them well.

When reading them, you must be careful. It doesn't matter if they get damaged.

Just afraid that if you accidentally damage a page you want to read, that'll truly be unfortunate."

"Rest assured, brother, I'll be careful when flipping through them." Xiao Feng received the six ancient books, but didn't rush to read them; instead, he carefully placed them atop the living room's liquor cabinet.

Zhuang Dezhu laughed heartily, saying, "Brother, you sure have quite a collection of good liquor here."

"You can pick whichever bottle you want, or simply take all the bottles away, drink whenever you feel like it!" Xiao Feng replied generously.

A fair exchange benefits both sides.

Zhuang Dezhu always appeared very open-handed, so naturally, Xiao Feng was not stingy.

"Brother Xiao, what kind of person do you think I am? Drinking is one thing, taking bottles is another," Zhuang Dezhu pretended to be unhappy and said, "Last time I wasn't in the best state, this time I must compete with you.

I'll call Brother Zhao to cook a few dishes, and we two brothers will continue drinking happily.

How's that?"

"Brother, since you say so, I can only accompany you to the end."

"Hahaha, I just love how straightforward you are, brother!"

Saying this, as if suddenly recalling something, Zhuang Dezhu looked at Du Qingyue and said, "Sister-in-law, every time I come, I'm always drinking with Brother Xiao, I hope I'm not bothering you?"

"No worries, Brother Zhuang, you drink as you please, we will excuse ourselves." Du Qingyue smiled and signaled the little girl to go upstairs together.

The little girl obediently stood up, made a funny face at Zhuang Dezhu, and said, "There's no way you can outdrink my brother Xiao Feng; just wait and see!

Humph!"

After saying that, she went upstairs with Du Qingyue.

Zhuang Dezhu didn't get upset; instead, he found the little girl quirky and very cute.

Meanwhile;

At the Bai Family, the closely united three siblings sat in the backyard, enjoying breakfast.

A gentle breeze blew, no longer as biting, with an almost imperceptible warmth.

Winter hasn't yet passed, slightly warm but still cold, it was like this.

"The Jiangcheng Lucky Koi event came rather suddenly." Bai Yongge said while eating.

Bai Lisha nodded, "I asked around, this event really was sudden; once announced, it's announced, and the initial preparations were quite rushed.

Normally, sponsorship would be sought first, and all stages aligned before proceeding.

For such a large-scale event, preparation should start three months or even half a year in advance; I'm not sure what happened this time."

Without having spoken until now, Bai Tieniu opened his mouth, "Perhaps to divert attention; after all, there was just that explosion, and the year-end is approaching.

Once the New Year holiday begins and everyone's free, they'd focus on this event relentlessly, bringing Jiangcheng into the spotlight."

Bai Yongge nodded slowly, "That's a possibility, but I noticed many Jiangcheng enterprises gave sponsorship, so should we sponsor something too?"

"Of course we should, and not just sponsor, we should make it a big sponsorship!" Bai Tieniu said with a piercing look, "I checked the sponsor list, the highest sponsorship so far is real estate worth two million, sponsored by Chang Wenhua."

Bai Lisha asked, "How much do you think we should sponsor?"

Bai Tieniu held up one finger, smiled without speaking.

"One million?"

Bai Tieniu shook his head, his expression and demeanor indicated that the estimation was too low.

Seeing this, Bai Yongge thought for a while, then opened her eyes wide, gasped, and said, "One...one hundred million?"

"..." Bai Tieniu.

An elder sister, an older brother.

One didn't dare to imagine; one truly dared to imagine.

It's really headache-inducing!

"If we really sponsor one hundred million, we'd have to sell off family property." Bai Tieniu said with a bitter smile.

It wasn't one million, it wasn't one hundred million, nor would it be ten thousand or ten billion.

Bai Yongge and Bai Lisha exchanged a look, speaking in unison, "Sponsor ten million?"

"That's right!" Bai Tieniu nodded affirmatively.

In contrast, the other two's faces turned a bit grim.

"Ten million, if our dad were home, sponsoring would be fine." Bai Lisha said with a troubled look, "Given the current situation, sponsoring ten million might not be prudent."

Bai Yongge wasn't eager to oppose, she only said, "Let's first hear Tie Niu's reasoning for doing this and understand what benefits we can gain."

"Alright." Bai Lisha nodded in agreement.

The next moment, the two simultaneously looked at Bai Tieniu, waiting for him to explain.

Bai Tieniu didn't speak immediately; he stood up and paced back and forth as if organizing his thoughts.

However, he wasn't without prepared words.

He just forced himself to develop a good habit of mentally rehearsing his speech before actually saying it.
