sk Su Can for any money, so they didn’t expect much from him now.Surprisingly, however, Su Can took out his wallet first; when he opened it, Li Aite, Wang Xuebing, and a few girls in front of Su Can w...Chapter 96: The Dinner

The successful execution of the two plans, coupled with Jianhua's generous dinner for the group, has spread widely among journalists and media figures like Chen Guangdong from Bolo Media. It is without question a classic and beautiful advertising campaign.

Jianhua himself has a multifaceted identity; he is a renowned investor in China, with extensive investments across various sectors forming an investment empire that spans numerous industries.

This includes media industry involvement. To put it simply, the bloodstream of many famous media groups in the Yangtze River Delta region carries capital marked by Jianhua. Additionally, some government-supported energy enterprises have his participation as well. During China's relatively stable and free economic period following thirty years of reform and opening-up, a large number of people became among the first to prosper in China. With changes in times, resources are now being controlled and monitored unofficially, making it essential for Jianhua to maintain close ties with the government. His adeptness at navigating this landscape has shaped him into an investor, financial figure, and even a figure within the fashion industry.

Thus, within the entertainment and fashion circles, Jianhua is still considered somewhat of a "star."

The impact of such an advertising effect cannot be underestimated.

Although this has been influenced by Jianhua's reputation, it's undeniable that any celebrity can only solidify their star power by creating “buzz.”

Su Cen winning a dinner with Jianhua is fundamentally different from Jianhua inviting Su Cen to have dinner; even if Jianhua hires an advertising agency to hype this event up extensively, they cannot achieve what Su Cen has accomplished: uniting various detail-oriented magazines and media outlets in their coverage of the event. Not to mention the widespread industry attention on how a dinner between new investment celebrities is generating benefits.

Whether thirty percent of the industry-related journals and magazines in Shanghai will report on it remains uncertain. To a certain extent, even Jian Hua is unsure what kind of effect this will have. This situation is akin to two renowned martial artists facing off in wuxia novels; having one defeat the other may only cause temporary admiration. However, if an unknown newcomer knocks down such a master with just a few punches, that would likely shake up the entire martial arts community.

The newly launched magazine Style Culture, riding on its momentum, has embarked on a promising trajectory and is now moving towards tangible, visible benefits. After Jian Hua’s dinner news broke out, Ling Guangdeng's phone hasn’t stopped ringing. Receiving thirty to forty calls a day has become the norm.

Among these callers are old classmates and friends who directly congratulate him, leaders from Rongcheng Press Group extending their congratulations for his victory in this battle, as well as journalists and media friends concerned about his wellbeing.

Ling Guangdeng's routine response to phone calls involves expressing gratitude to friends for their congratulations, acknowledging the concern of the leadership with thanks and resolve, and apologizing to those who were kept in the dark regarding this matter.

There are also calls from distributors. Initially, due to print tasks, the third issue of Style Culture was expected to be delayed by two days; however, with the magazine’s successful launch, there is no need for such delays anymore. Once the magazine is ready here, it can immediately proceed to printing without needing to wait in line, making Style Culture, upon its arrival in the Yangtze River Delta region, a future major client that distributors and publishers are eager to secure.

The immediate popularity of Style Culture is gradually shining brightly in this vital economic core zone of China.

Su Cen’s Borro Media has begun expanding its operations. As Style Culture develops further and reaches its peak next year, it will become the main driving force for the entire Borro Media group.

If before it was a small boat setting sail from Rongcheng, now it can be considered a ship entering the Yangtze River Delta region. Although it is not yet a heavily armed cruiser capable of engaging in naval battles, at least it has evolved into a missile frigate equipped with medium-caliber cannons.

Vital Security International Club.

In a suite, Fan Zhiliang and his business partners were playing mahjong. All the players at the table were bosses. On the sofa nearby, three people sipped tea and chatted; they were some of Shanghai's agents as well as owners of hardware and software equipment companies. These individuals belonged to the intermediary channel, mostly private entrepreneurs but dealt with foreign and state-owned enterprises, quite high and mighty.

The suite smelled faintly of tea. An executive who wasn't participating in the mahjong game took a moment between sips to glance at the service staff pouring tea for them. Vital Security International was indeed one of Shanghai's top clubs; its female staff, though not as stunning as rumored, did have their heads shaved completely.

But they were certainly attractive, reportedly selected more rigorously than flight attendants for their quality.

A player at the mahjong table said, "Director Fan was right. That kid must've had some incredible luck to get a picture of Zhang Hua's dinner. I keep hearing this 'Fashion Culture' sound familiar. Old Zhao reminded me; it’s him—the one you bet on."

"How old is he Nineteen or twenty Such young businessmen have guts," said another, laying down the first tile and shaking his head.

A middle-aged man with a cigarette in his mouth and rough features said, "What guts! Spending a million on Zhang Hua's auction, is that guy crazy That’s not how you spend money. These young businessmen nowadays have no sense; spending a million just to make waves. How far can he go No matter how much his father earns for him, if he keeps doing such self-destructive things, their family fortune will be depleted sooner or later."

Someone laughed and pointed at the man, saying, "Don't look at Old Jiang's attitude; he's just jealous. I know about this from last night when we drank at Riverside Pavilion. His little girlfriend from Suzhou University was interested too but didn’t believe him when told about Director Su’s age. The old guy must’ve had something wrong with him and slapped her, leaving her sobbing in distress. You need to get that jealousy treated!"

The man surnamed Jiang impatiently shuffled the cards, saying that the woman was just an inexperienced college student who knew nothing. He wouldn't even be annoyed if she were a person. He would find a chance to break up with her soon and wouldn't bother with women for now.

After everyone chuckled awkwardly, someone asked, "Old Fan, when is Su Can coming over Are you going to sign the agreement with him today"

Fan Ziliang touched the cards in his hand, rubbing them a couple of times with his thumb before slowly saying, "Why not sign it I'm willing to accept my loss. He had the guts to bid on the dinner with Chan Hua; I, Fan Ziliang, am also someone who would admit defeat if I lose. I will sign it, and he might be here soon."

Everyone secretly cursed Fan Ziliang for being a cunning old fox. The magazine was currently in full swing as they were dining with Chan Hua on equal terms; this guy found an excuse to get off the hook and secure the advertisement at the top of the page.

Saying it in such a manner that he appeared willing to accept his loss, who didn't know what tricks he had up his sleeve The more he played the cards, the messier they got. He looked calm on the surface but was probably very anxious inside. He had just made a call and prepared to leave the mahjong table to meet someone. Upon hearing that the other party would come over directly, he pretended to be composed and put on an air of superiority at the card table.

Putting up a facade is something everyone can do.

The second chapter has arrived; it's a bit short but too late, considering there are still brothers waiting for updates, I'll send this out first.

I went to bed after reading it. Wish you good dreams.for me," Su Chen smiled and looked at Li Qingyang who had an intimidating gaze before getting up and walking towards their table.During this process, he felt that everyone behind him on the other tabl...
