Chapter 647 - 647: The Weight of Trust

Jin Wang's request made Zhao Yuan chuckle in amusement.

He had expected the famous director to make some kind of harsh demand, but instead, all he wanted was priority access to purchasing Soul-Stabilizing Incense, Beauty Pills, and Vitality Pills.

This wasn't to say Jin Wang's standards were low; it was just that the three products were so effective and desirable, yet so hard to obtain.

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "No problem, I'll agree to that right now. Director Jin, whenever you need something, just give us a call or send a message, and we'll have the products you want sent to you by courier. No matter where you are, you'll be able to use our products!"

"That's fantastic!" Jin Wang was overjoyed, laughing heartily. "Starting today, I won't have to worry about running out of Soul-Stabilizing Incense or Vitality Pills. And my wife will have all the Beauty Pills she needs, so she won't have to go to the salon anymore. These Medicine Pills are way more effective than any beauty treatment! Boss Zhao, thank you so much."

Zhao Yuan smiled. "Don't mention it. I should be thanking you, Director Jin, for your support of our products."

"Boss Zhao, since you've given Director Jin VIP treatment, how about giving us the same?" Song Ming, Yang Cai'Er, and the others chimed in, all looking at Zhao Yuan with expectant faces.

"No problem."

Of course, Zhao Yuan wasn't going to refuse something like this, so he agreed at once. 'Besides, they'll help promote the products, so why wouldn't I agree?'

Having received his promise, Song Ming and the others were all beaming.

Fang Yi and Jin Wang discussed the specifics of filming the commercial and finally came to an agreement. Jin Wang would not only direct the commercial but would also be responsible for the creative concept. Of course, the final decision on whether to use his ideas still rested with the Witch Medical Factory.

Furthermore, there was no need to find a separate crew for the commercial; Jin Wang's team from his current film would be handling it!

It was a good thing there were no entertainment reporters present, or this news would have made their jaws drop.

The team assembled for this commercial was simply too high-end!

The director, cinematographer, sound designer… all of them were heavyweights who had won awards at film festivals both at home and abroad. Even for a feature film, it wouldn't be easy to get all these people together. And now, they were all being brought in to shoot a commercial…

Talk about using a sledgehammer to crack a nut—this was the perfect example!

You could just imagine how much attention the Witch Medical Factory's commercial would attract in the near future!

Sun Xin was visibly thrilled. As the female lead and spokesperson for the commercial, she was bound to ride this wave of publicity, pushing her own fame and reputation even higher. As for Yang Cai'Er, the regret and vexation in her heart only grew stronger.

After signing the advertising contract with Jin Wang, Zhao Yuan and Fang Yi personally saw the group out of the factory. Wen Hua, having also received a promise from Zhao Yuan and Fang Yi, left content as well.

After seeing everyone off, Zhao Yuan took out three sheets of paper and handed them to Fang Yi.

"What's this?" Fang Yi asked, glancing down. He saw that the three sheets were covered in the names of herbs and their dosages.

Zhao Yuan replied, "These are the formulas for the Soul-Stabilizing Incense, Beauty Pill, and Vitality Pills. Like I said before, I'm handing them over to you. From now on, you'll be in charge of compounding the medicines. I only have one requirement: don't you ever substitute quality ingredients with inferior ones! Our products aren't just going to be sold across the country; they're going to take on the world! So, we absolutely must maintain strict quality control!"

Although he had known for a while that Zhao Yuan would entrust the formulas to him, Fang Yi's heart was still filled with excitement now that he was actually holding them.

He felt that the three formulas in his hand were incredibly heavy, as if they weighed a thousand pounds.

It wasn't the paper that was heavy, but the weight of Zhao Yuan's trust in him.

At this moment, any more pleasantries would have seemed insincere.

Fang Yi took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and said solemnly, "Chairman Zhao, please rest assured. I will guarantee the quality of the products and will never do something as foolish as killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. I'll also keep these three formulas safe and will never let them be leaked. I swear on my life!"

Zhao Yuan waved his hand. "It's not that serious. In my eyes, as good as these three formulas are, they are nowhere near as valuable as your life."

Fang Yi was even more moved to hear this. He had to fight to keep the hot tears from welling up in his eyes.

Zhao Yuan and Fang Yi chatted for a while about the factory's future development. When the sky began to darken, Zhao Yuan stood up. "It's getting late, I should go. You can keep these medicinal ingredients here for now. When you go to Yangcheng City in a little while, just bring them with you then."

"Yes, I'll be sure to keep them safe," Fang Yi replied.

Now that he had the three formulas, he was no longer surprised that Zhao Yuan had also entrusted these rare medicinal ingredients to him.

His heart was filled with only excitement, because this represented Zhao Yuan's trust in him!

After leaving the factory, Zhao Yuan found a place to eat dinner, then returned to his hotel and began his daily routine of studying and Cultivation.

「At the same time.」 Liu Xiaoya was in her studio, telling her best friend and business partner, Han Jingjing, about what had happened that day.

After hearing the story, Han Jingjing was absolutely livid. "What? You were showing a house to a client today and Ma Hui cornered you with his men? He threatened your client and told him to terminate his contract with you? Said that otherwise, the client's villa would never get finished? Holy crap, that lecher is so arrogant and shameless! He's trying to drive us completely out of business!"

After venting and cursing for a bit, she asked, "By the way, what did the client say? He didn't actually terminate the contract, did he?"

"No," Liu Xiaoya said, shaking her head. "Mr. Zhao said that even if Ma Hui really had the connections to make all the decoration and building material suppliers in Rongcheng City refuse to sell to us, it wouldn't matter. At worst, we'd just have to spend a bit more money to buy from another city or even another province."

Han Jingjing exclaimed in admiration, "Now that's a real man! So assertive!" She then looked Liu Xiaoya up and down a few times and said with a mischievous grin, "This Mr. Zhao… he isn't interested in you, is he?"

"Don't be ridiculous. Mr. Zhao is younger than me, and besides, he has a girlfriend." As Liu Xiaoya said this, she felt a strange, complicated mix of emotions, tinged with a bit of disappointment.

Han Jingjing was about to say more when she suddenly heard footsteps inside the studio.

When she turned her head and saw who it was, her temper flared. "What are you doing here?" she shouted. "Are you here to threaten us again? I'm telling you, you're not welcome here! Get out, or I'm calling the police!"

The uninvited guest was none other than the man they had just been discussing: Ma Hui, the boss of Fuqiang Decoration Company.
