In Provincial City, a man with glasses pushed up his glasses and said with a hint of mystery, "Have you heard? Today, the famous 'Xiaobei Brand' is finally setting foot in our Provincial City."

"Really?"

"Is this news true?"

"Yeah, I don't know about you guys, but I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

"Me too!"

In Provincial City, many people were excitedly conversing...

Lately, 'Xiaobei Brand' had become popular in various neighboring counties and cities.

This had almost everyone in the Provincial City aware of it.

After finding out, they all hoped that 'Xiaobei Brand' would quickly open a store in their area, but it hadn't happened as desired. Now that they heard 'Xiaobei Brand' was coming, everyone was truly thrilled to death.

Hearing their excited queries, the man with glasses smiled proudly and said, "Of course, it's true. This is some insider information I obtained earlier!"

"That's great! Let's hurry and get in line."

"Yeah, if we get in line early, we can buy 'Xiaobei Brand' vegetables and fruits sooner."

"Exactly!"

Seeing many people eager to go, the man with glasses let out a wry smile and remarked, "It's too late, there are already over a thousand people queuing up at the 'Xiaobei Brand' store. Even if we rush over now, it's really too late!"

"What..."

Upon hearing this, the excited crowd became despondent once again.

But they still set out determined to take a look.

Arriving at the scene, the corners of their mouths twitched violently.

Because what they then saw was truly a massive crowd.

In that moment, they all realized how difficult it would be to taste 'Xiaobei Brand' products today...

...

Over at the Provincial TV Station, Station Director Sun was looking at the latest ratings, which were off the charts, and slightly furrowed his brows.

The next moment, he put the report down and hoarsely asked, "Have there really been no sensational events lately? Our TV station's ratings are continuously sinking. If this goes on, what are we to do?"

Station Director Sun was very displeased at this time!

He knew that the competition among various TV stations was fierce.

So the steadily declining ratings truly made him feel under great pressure...

He knew if the ratings continued to slump, not to mention comparing with other provincial TV stations,

Even getting substantial sponsorship fees would be difficult, because sponsors based their advertising rates on viewership.

Hearing Station Director Sun speak up, the secretary hesitated for a moment then said, "Station Director, our TV station doesn't want the ratings to be this low either, but there's really nothing we can do. It's a slow period for us right now. Wait until our new show launches in a little more than ten days, then things will get better!"

Giving the secretary a glance, Station Director Sun frowned, "A new show? Who knows how it'll be after the new show launches! I want you to find a way to do more live broadcasts now, to attract attention."

"But... but recently there really hasn't been anything exciting to report."

"Nothing? Then go find it! Do you think that good news will just fall into your lap while you sit here?"

"Yes, I understand! Oh right, Station Director, there's a new fruit and vegetable store opening up here in our Provincial City, should we send a broadcast vehicle over there to cover it live?"

"A new fruit and vegetable store? What's the need for a live broadcast of a specialty store's opening? I told you to look for something that'll catch people's attention, not to clutch at straws!"

"But... but this store..."

"Enough, stop blabbering and hurry out to find news that will attract attention, I..."

Before he could finish, Station Director Sun's phone started to ring.

"Wait a moment. I need to take this call."

With a somewhat irritable gesture, he picked up the phone, and the next second, he shot up from his seat.

Seeing his Station Director's tense and excited demeanor, he curiously asked, "Station Director, what... what's happening?"

Hearing the query, the Station Director quickly began to speak, "This... this call is... it's Secretary Wang calling."

Seeing Station Director's nervous look, the secretary thought for a moment and then his eyes widened, "Secretary Wang? Could it be... Governor Sun's secretary, Wang An?"

"Yes, that's him!"

"A call from Wang An must be for a very important instruction, Station Director, you should take it right away."

"Okay!"

He agreed, took a deep breath, and promptly answered the call...

"Secretary Wang!"

After respectfully saying this, he heard a faint inquiry coming from the receiver, "Is this Station Director Sun?"

"It's me! Secretary Wang, do you have any instructions?"

"It's like this, there's a new fruit and vegetable store opening in our Provincial City today, and the Governor would like to see some excitement around it. So, he'd like you to do a comprehensive live broadcast."

"Yes, I understand! I promise, I will make it as lively as possible."

"Mhm, let's leave it at that."

"Alright! Alright! Alright!"

After hanging up the phone, Station Director Sun looked at his secretary and said, "You... you just mentioned a new fruit and vegetable store opening in our city, what's the background of the owner?"

"It's an agricultural entrepreneur, named Hu Xiaobei. But beforehand, he caused quite a stir. It's said even 'Yongqiang Brand' suffered a setback at his hands. Currently, the market share that 'Yongqiang Brand' originally held in our province has basically all been snatched away by him."

"I see. You also heard what Secretary Wang just said, so rush out and dispatch all the broadcast vehicles for me, and conduct the highest quality, comprehensive live broadcast, got it?"

"Yes!"

Once his subordinate left, the Station Director gently tapped the table.

"Just an agricultural entrepreneur? I guess that's just a front. Otherwise, the Governor wouldn't have given personal instructions."

He wasn't a fool, so he knew he had to make a good connection with this Hu Xiaobei from now on.

Otherwise, it would truly be digging one's own grave.

As he felt the tension, in the Communist Party Provincial Committee compound, Secretary Wang was also silently repeating Hu Xiaobei's name...

"A person the Governor is thinking about must be extraordinary! When I get there later, I must take a good look."

While speaking, Wang An started to get ready.

Wang An didn't know Hu Xiaobei before, but Sun Fuan, just the other day when he was suddenly assigned to study out of the province, mentioned Hu Xiaobei and said to treat Wang An well.

From that time, he became aware of Hu Xiaobei.

Having been with Sun Fuan for a long time, Wang An knew that since Sun Fuan had specifically mentioned Hu Xiaobei, it indicated his importance...

Thus, knowing about Hu Xiaobei's store opening today, he made a call to Sun Fuan and mentioned the fruit and vegetable store's launch.

After talking about Hu Xiaobei's store opening, Wang An received instructions from Sun Fuan...
