Ge Dongxu had clearly not expected Tang Yiyuan's influence to be so great. Just casually coming down for a visit, showing his face, had startled the county leaders into action, each of them making an appearance, and even the county television station gave the news extensive coverage.
It wasn't until the evening when Cheng Yazhou ca back from dinner, mouth reeking of alcohol, that Ge Dongxu learned just how significant the title of expert from the Provincial Specialist dical Team was to Tang Yiyuan. Rembering Tang Yiyuan's humble deanor in front of him, Ge Dongxu's admiration for him only increased. At the sa ti, he was secretly glad that he had made the right move. With Tang Yiyuan on board, Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory now essentially had an expert-level living signboard and spokesperson! There was no need for him to pull in advertisents himself, as others had already begun actively promoting the Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory.
As Cheng Yazhou was speaking to Ge Dongxu, his phone rang.
Cheng Yazhou looked at the call and imdiately answered when he saw it was from Lin Jinnuo, the owner of the Changxi Grand Hotel, saying, "Manager Lin, what instructions do you have so late at night?"
"What bloody instructions, is Dongxu with you right now? I want to have a word with him." Lin Jinnuo laughed, speaking sowhat crudely and casually. However, it was this very quality that made Cheng Yazhou feel much closer to him, no longer seeing the owner of the Changxi Grand Hotel as soone high above.
"Yes, yes. Hold on, I'll give him the phone," Cheng Yazhou said, passing the phone to Ge Dongxu and whispering, "It's Manager Lin."
"Old Lin, what's the matter calling so late?" Ge Dongxu asked as he took the phone.
"What's the matter? I'm saying, Dongxu, don't you consider a brother? Investing in a herbal tea factory, such a promising project, how could you not call ? You didn't call but you called Lin Kun, that kid. Even leading him would be okay, prevent the kid from achieving nothing when hanging around ," Lin Jinnuo complained.
Although Lin Jinnuo was full of complaints, Ge Dongxu listened with a warmth in his heart and laughed, "You're a big boss, this is just a small investnt of a few hundred thousand from . I didn't have the nerve to ask you to join in the shares!"
"A small investnt for big profits sounds even better! I have absolute confidence in you," Lin Jinnuo said.
"Don't, don't, I'm still just a high school student," Ge Dongxu hurriedly said modestly.
"There's no need to be modest with . Alright, since things are set this ti, I won't barge in. But make sure to rember for any future projects! Whatever you fancy, I'll even go so far as to sell my pots if I have to, just to raise the investnt," Lin Jinnuo stated.
What else could Ge Dongxu say upon hearing this? Of course, he agreed repeatedly.
Just after hanging up with Lin Jinnuo, the boss of the leading enterprise in Changxi County, Yue Feng from Yu Da Group, also called. He too gave Ge Dongxu an earful for making money without including him, causing Ge Dongxu to embarassingly be modest once again.
After hanging up with Yue Feng, Ge Dongxu handed the phone back to Cheng Yazhou.
Cheng Yazhou took the phone, looked at Ge Dongxu with emotion, and said, "Dongxu, thank you for trusting your uncle and Qianjin, for pulling us into shares! From now on, whatever you say, your uncle will listen to you."
Cheng Yazhou was right next to Ge Dongxu when Lin Jinnuo and Yue Feng were on the phone, so naturally, he heard everything loud and clear.
Thinking back on Ge Dongxu's relationship with Lin Jinnuo and the others, he could have easily invited them to buy shares. Considering their connections and business experience, their participation would undoubtedly bring more benefits than his and Wu Qianjin's, but Ge Dongxu chose not to call them. Instead, he exclusively called him and Wu Qianjin. Cheng Yazhou was truly moved in his heart.
"Hehe, uncle, you're being too formal with . We are old partners. Of course, I would think of you first for any profitable business," Ge Dongxu laughed and said.
"Alright, I won't be polite. Anyway, uncle will listen to you from now on," Cheng Yazhou said, his eyes slightly moist.

By Tang Yiyuan's current status, he actually had a lot of freedom with his ti. Because of his confidence in Ge Dongxu's formula, he was quite eager to start its factory production as soon as possible, so before coming this ti, he had made so arrangents in the Provincial Capital and planned to stay in Changxi County for a few days.
So the next day, Wednesday, Tang Yiyuan did not go back to Changxi County, but took Huang Wenjie to the beverage factory to start researching factory production processes. Cheng Yazhou handed over the affairs of the trademark factory to Wu Qianjin to manage and specially accompanied Tang Yiyuan and Huang Wenjie as an assistant.

After all, he was from Changxi County and familiar with things here.
Ge Dongxu's life suddenly beca very busy. In addition to his regular studies, he often had to visit the herbal tea beverage factory at noon to check on the situation with Tang Yiyuan's research and tuning, and after the evening self-study sessions at school, he needed to engrave Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jades.
Ti flew by quickly, and before they knew it, it was the beginning of June, three days before Jiang Lili and the others were to take their college entrance exams.
Changxi No. 1 High School was the exam site for Changxi County's college entrance exam. Not only did the seniors need to start their holiday early to relax, but the first and second-year students also had to temporarily stop classes to free up classrooms for the exam.
Today, when school ended, Ge Dongxu made sure to leave the classroom early to wait outside the door of Senior Year Class Three for Dong Yuxin, Jiang Lili, and Su Qian to finish school.
Except for the days when the teacher delayed classes, Big-chested Senior Sister Jiang Lili had still been coming to the door of Junior Year Class Six every day to wait for Ge Dongxu after school.
Today was no exception. She was ready to wait for Ge Dongxu upon dismissal, but instead found that Ge Dongxu was unexpectedly waiting for her at the door, which made her exclaim with pleasant surprise, "Dongxu, why are you here?"
Seeing the sincere surprise on Jiang Lili's face, Ge Dongxu felt a wave of warmth in his heart and said with a smile, "The college entrance exam is in just a few days, so I ca especially to say a few words of blessing to you and the other two senior sisters."
"Thank you, Dongxu!" Dong Yuxin and Su Qian also ca out at this ti, and upon hearing this, they were slightly taken aback, and then they smiled and said.
"It's been a long ti since the four of us walked ho from school together," Jiang Lili suddenly said with so sentint as they walked.
Dong Yuxin's expression subtly changed upon hearing this; she used to be the closest to Ge Dongxu, while Jiang Lili had the worst relationship with him, always picking on him. But for so unknown reason, it was she who had gradually distanced herself from him, while Jiang Lili had grown increasingly close to him and even gave Dong Yuxin the illusion that Jiang Lili seed to be infatuated with the younger boy before her.
Thinking of this, Dong Yuxin couldn't help but glance at Ge Dongxu and suddenly noticed that he had grown a lot taller and his skin had beco much fairer than before; he no longer resembled the dark-skinned and rustic country boy who had just arrived in town.
"There's nothing to be done about it; we're all seniors with intense studies!" Su Qian replied nonchalantly.
"Yes, your college entrance exam is coming up soon; after today's farewell, I don't know when we'll be able to see each other again," Ge Dongxu sighed, looking at Dong Yuxin with a complex expression in his eyes.
This was the first girl with whom he'd had close contact and the first to give him an electrifying feeling, but then, for so unknown reason, they had gradually drifted apart. Perhaps it was because he was from the countryside and there was a gap in their social status, or maybe because his dark complexion had a rural air that was unattractive, or perhaps a young girl's feelings are fickle, and once past the initial gratitude she felt, she naturally distanced herself from him.
Regardless, these were the first three senior sisters he had really interacted with after coming to Changxi No. 1 High School. No matter how they saw him, he still held affection for them. So after his mont of sentint, Ge Dongxu took out three Heart-Cleansing Talismans that he had specially painted for them and said, "You'll be taking your college entrance exams in three days, and I can't be of much help. But last ti I went back to Baiyun Mountain, I specifically went to a Taoist temple in the mountains to ask for three talismans for you, and also requested the Taoist priest to consecrate them. Whether or not they work, consider them a token of my regards; I hope you can keep them close during your exams."
