Chapter 149 The Great Fire

Jiang Lili seemed to feel the changes in Ge Dongxu's body as well, her pretty face blushing with a hint of joy and haziness. She tiptoed to hug him even tighter.

Unfortunately, Ge Dongxu soon came to his senses and gently pushed her away, leaving her feeling suddenly empty.

But Jiang Lili knew that both she and Ge Dongxu were still young, especially since Ge Dongxu was only a freshman in high school, and some things were definitely inappropriate. Ultimately, she dismissed her empty feeling and said to Ge Dongxu, "Dongxu, you go in first. I'll watch you go in."

Upon hearing her words, Ge Dongxu's heart quivered slightly, but he turned around and entered the house calmly.

As Ge Dongxu pushed the door open and then slowly closed it behind him, tears finally streamed down Jiang Lili's cheeks.

She couldn't forget that moment of despair—the kind that plunged her into endless darkness with a single step!

And just when she had closed her eyes and taken off her shirt, lost in a sea of endless darkness, the door was suddenly kicked open.

Ge Dongxu appeared in front of her and fiercely beat up those two filthy men time and again.

She knew she could never erase that scene from her memory—the man who had pulled her out of an endless abyss!

Now she had to part ways with him, and wouldn't see him for a long time. She also made a quiet resolve that the next time she saw him, she would surely become an impressive woman. She knew that if she didn't become such a woman, she wouldn't even get the chance to meet him again, let alone be his woman, given how outstanding he was even in his youth.

Jiang Lili left, and in the room, Ge Dongxu sat cross-legged and meditated for a good while before he gathered his thoughts.

The way things work in this world is curious—occasionally, one or two incidents change the relationships between people. Previously, he was close with Dong Yuxin, and Jiang Lili was his rival; but now, it was Jiang Lili who reluctantly hugged him goodbye and affected his state of mind.

With jade tokens laid out, Ge Dongxu continued to carve the Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jade.

It must be said that Ge Dongxu had really good luck previously. Though his cultivation had significantly improved, he had ruined nearly one hundred and forty jade tokens and still hadn't managed to successfully carve a single Talisman Jade.

Days passed, and soon it was July, the time for summer vacation.

After ruining exactly two hundred and twenty jade tokens, Ge Dongxu finally succeeded in carving a Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jade, and once again resumed his normal cultivation.

On the same day, the Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory officially began production.

On this day, not only did the leaders of the county committee rush to offer their congratulations, but even the vice mayor in charge of medical affairs in the city personally came.

Both Changxi County Television and Ouzhou City Television reported on the Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory in the news that day, with the Changxi County Television even creating a special report on the factory.

To express his gratitude for Ge Dongxu's lifesaving help and for guiding his son onto the righteous path, Lin Jinnuo, the owner, specifically ordered a large red canister of Qinghe Herbal Tea to be displayed at the entrance of the Changxi Grand Hotel. The hotel's menu also prominently featured Qinghe Herbal Tea, and red canisters of the tea were served for free at every table that evening.

This was the first batch of products from the Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory.

At that time, the Changxi Grand Hotel was a landmark building in Changxi County; it was always bustling with people coming and going every day. As the leading high-class restaurant in the county, placing Qinghe Herbal Tea in the hotel not only decorated the Changxi Grand Hotel in brilliant reds but also immediately elevated the status of Qinghe Herbal Tea. Every customer who visited the hotel would remember the fiery red packaging even before they tasted the tea.

Naturally, the Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory also planned a strong promotional campaign that day. In every village and township of Changxi County, particularly along every street in the county town, banners advertising the factory were put up.

As soon as the banners were placed along the streets, it was clear how wise Ge Dongxu had been to choose red packaging. A wave of red swept through the streets, bringing festivity and instantly catching people's eyes.

Thus, the official opening day of the Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory caused quite a stir, especially in Changxi County where it could almost be described as creating a sensation throughout the town. So much so that over the following days, when people in Changxi County met, they no longer asked, "Have you eaten?" but "Have you tried it? The Qinghe Herbal Tea developed from our county's traditional Chinese medicine formula by that renowned professor?"

The sensational advertising was just the first step towards the product's success. Whether the product could ultimately withstand the market test still depended on its quality.

The taste of Qinghe Herbal Tea is quite unique; it is not addictive but instead offers a cooling sensation that truly quenches thirst, and because its medicinal effects were attested by Ge Dongxu, it genuinely has health benefits. Unlike some current herbal teas which, due to excessive additives, make you thirstier the more you drink, or even cause heatiness or harm the spleen and stomach if consumed in excess.

Thus, once products like Qinghe Herbal Tea successfully took the first step, there really wasn't much to worry about, because the eyes of the common people are sharp. They know very well what is good and what is not. Sometimes, when there really isn't quality to choose from, they simply have to pick the best among the worst.

Qinghe Herbal Tea was delicious and refreshing, and truly had the health benefits of reducing internal heat and nourishing energy. For example, when some children suffered from heat-induced cough yet clamored for a drink, their parents dared not give them beverages like Coca-Cola but instead tried giving them Qinghe Herbal Tea. As a result, the symptoms of the children's cough showed signs of easing.

In this way, Qinghe Herbal Tea stood out like a tall figure among many beverages, and the public naturally chose this tall figure.

Especially in Changxi County, the fact that Qinghe Herbal Tea genuinely had health benefits spread thoroughly among the populace in just about ten days, and gradually spread throughout the entire Ouzhou City area.

Because of this, after the fiery start on the official opening day of the Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory, there came a few days of cool-down, and then an explosion in demand suddenly began.

Various stores, restaurants, and beverage dealers either called to request deliveries or came in person to pick up goods. At one point, the Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory was producing at full capacity, yet there were still signs of demand outstripping supply. If this frenzied demand continued, there surely would be stockouts before the summer ended.
