Chapter 242: You Really Have No Brain at All!

Seeing the displeased expression on Jiang Shengcai’s face, Shen Fei was sure.

The construction team for the three facilities at Yizhong should be people from Jiang Shengcai’s company!

But he didn’t dare to ask.

After all, once he asked, the angriest person would definitely be Old Master Jiang.

However, even though Shen Fei pretended not to understand, it didn’t mean that Jiang Anbang didn’t notice Jiang Shengcai’s abnormal behavior.

After getting repeated assurances from Yu Guotu, Jiang Anbang shifted his gaze to Jiang Shengcai and asked,

“Shengcai, what were you about to say? Do you know about the Yizhong situation?”

Faced with the old master’s question, Jiang Shengcai, who usually trembled in front of him, flinched and replied nervously,

“I… I know a bit…”

Before Jiang Shengcai could finish speaking, Jiang Anbang interrupted directly,

“Scoundrel! Is the construction team and the contractor from your company?”

“Well, I knew the city was going to select a site to build three recreational facilities, so… so I went to the Cultural Bureau and met with Director Ren…”

Jiang Shengcai wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued, clearly nervous,

“Director Ren entrusted the matter to me…”

“You really are a scoundrel! Didn’t I teach you that a gentleman loves money, but earns it through the right means? Why do you want to earn money from everything? And now, this situation is only causing trouble with the teachers and students. If it escalates, what will happen to the old Jiang family? What will happen to your son Jiang Tiancheng? Everything requires careful thought—why don’t you have a brain at all?”

Without holding back, Jiang Anbang scolded Jiang Shengcai directly, even though Yu Guotu and Shen Fei were still present.

“No, Dad, I really didn’t know about the construction team causing trouble with the teachers and students! If I had known, I would have stopped it! And about the district, I didn’t know they hadn’t reached an agreement! Because of this, Xiao Li from the construction team came to me several times, and I went to the district office, but no one stepped forward to solve the problem. They just told us to wait, and we had no idea about the rest!”

Yu Guotu spoke somewhat aggrieved.

But he had long gotten used to Jiang Anbang’s angry outbursts toward him, so he didn’t feel embarrassed at all.

“Fine, now you should be thankful. If it weren’t for Xiao Shen, this would have escalated and you would have been the one to suffer!” Jiang Anbang scolded again.

Although Jiang Shengcai was already middle-aged, he didn’t retort in the face of Jiang Anbang’s scolding.

“Old master, Shengcai really didn’t know about it. As the saying goes, ‘Ignorance is no crime,’ so please don’t blame him!”

Yu Guotu smiled and tried to smooth things over.

“Exactly, old master, Uncle Jiang isn’t someone who only cares about profit. Please don’t blame him! If it weren’t for me coming today, I wouldn’t have known about it either.”

Shen Fei quickly joined in to help.

“I know what kind of person he is. Don’t speak for him!”

Jiang Anbang said, disappointed.

Shen Fei quickly shifted the topic,

“Uncle Jiang, you’re just in time, I’ve been meaning to talk to you! The land the city promised me has already been approved, and I’ve prepared the factory drawings! I’ll give you the drawings soon, and you can start preparing! Once the procedures are complete, we can start construction right away. Does that sound good?”

“Hmm? The drawings are ready? That fast?” Jiang Shengcai raised his eyebrows in surprise.

“Yes! The sooner the factory is built, the better, right?” Shen Fei replied.

“Alright, give me the design drawings when you can. I’ll personally take a team to inspect and ensure everything is in place for a perfect design and budget. I’ll make sure your factory construction goes smoothly and starts soon!” Jiang Shengcai nodded.

“Thank you, Uncle Jiang!” Shen Fei said with satisfaction.

…

After staying at the Jiang family estate for several hours, Shen Fei left.

It was already dark when he returned home.

Yunhe Residence.

As soon as he opened the door, Shen Fei was greeted by a warm hug.

“Dad!”

Shen Jiayue, who had been studying with Han Xinyan, immediately stood up and ran toward the door when she heard the password being entered.

“Dad, Jiayue missed you! Why are you so late coming back?”

“Jiayue wants to eat the food you make, it’s better than what Mom cooks!”

The little girl snuggled into Shen Fei’s arms, acting all cute.

“You little girl, just now you said Mom’s cooking was the best!” Han Xinyan pretended to be angry but smiled.

Then she pouted,

“This girl, you’ve become so picky, you don’t even like my cooking anymore!”

“Hahaha, Jiayue likes Dad’s food, so from now on, I’ll cook for you, okay?”

Shen Fei laughed, clearly pampering her.

“Alright, Jiayue loves that!” Shen Jiayue cheered.

“Alright, Mommy will let you watch Peppa Pig for a bit, okay? I need to talk to Daddy!” Han Xinyan said.

“Okay! I want to watch George!”

As soon as the little girl heard that, her attention shifted completely to the TV. She quickly ran to the couch, skillfully turned on the TV, and got ready to watch her show.

The couple then went to the master bedroom.

“What did you want to talk to me about? You’re being so mysterious!”

Once in the bedroom, Shen Fei teased her.

“Of course it’s about the company!” Han Xinyan replied, rolling her eyes at this hands-off husband.

“Recently, several trading companies have approached our company, saying they’re distributors for our scar cream, and they want the 499 yuan version. Guess how much they offered? 699 yuan!”

“Aside from that, some agency companies also reached out, offering to have their stars endorse our product—for free!”

When Han Xinyan spoke about the distributors, she had already dismissed the idea.

There was no need for it.

Given the current popularity of the scar cream, if they wanted to raise the price, they could easily do it themselves!

Besides, the production of the cream couldn’t keep up with the demand, so there was no stock to supply those distributors anyway.

However, the idea of free celebrity endorsements was something Han Xinyan had to admit had a big impact.

With such a hot product, plus the celebrity effect, it would definitely cause even more buzz.

“Hmm? For example?” Shen Fei asked.

“Well, there are stars who have become really popular recently because of a drama, both male and female. You can choose whichever one you like! They might even be A-list stars!” Han Xinyan said honestly.

“What do you think?” Shen Fei asked in return.

After a pause, he added,

“Given how hard it is to even find a bottle of scar cream right now, who’s really benefiting from a celebrity endorsement?”

“Do you mean it’s unnecessary, or do you think they’re not famous enough?” Han Xinyan asked, confused.

Undoubtedly, free celebrity endorsements are incredibly attractive to any company and product!

“Even if they’re household names, I wouldn’t consider it!”

Shen Fei said firmly, but there was a glint of sharpness in his eyes.
