Chapter 64 Brand Story
Following the updates has never been so enjoyable.
Applause broke out from the audience, but it wasn't very enthusiastic.
Someone muttered under their breath, "Chongxi? What does that mean?"
"Sounds alright, but it doesn't seem that impressive."
"I thought it would be called something like 'Jiangcheng Trendy Brand'."
The live stream chat was flooded with comments.
"Chongxi? That's an average name."
"That sounds a bit awkward."
"It would be better to just call him 'Edison Chen'."
……
Jiangzhou City.
Wen Guoliang's lips curled up slightly.
Chongxi?
What a terrible name.
It sounds like they have no culture.
He thought that with such a big fuss, Wang Guanxi would come up with a good name, but this is it?
Wen Guoliang picked up his teacup, took a sip, and continued watching the live stream.
……
The conference site.
Wang Guanxi naturally heard the whispers from below the stage.
But he wasn't in a hurry.
He picked up the red cloth and put it aside, then picked up the microphone and began to explain.
"Let me explain the meaning of the characters 'Chongxi' to everyone."
"The character '重' is pronounced chóng and means 'again' or 'once again.' The character '曦' refers to the morning sunlight and represents hope, light, and warmth."
He paused, looked at the audience below the stage, and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Chongxi, when put together, means 'seeing the light again'."
The audience fell silent.
"The night passes, dawn breaks, and the first rays of sunlight shine down. This feeling is called the Dawn."
Some people started nodding.
"This symbolism not only represents the rebirth of our clothing brand, but also the integration and restructuring of two factories on the verge of bankruptcy, starting anew."
"It also means that no matter what darkness we have experienced, as long as we do not give up, we will always see the dawn."
Applause erupted from the audience, this time much more sincere than before.
The tone of the comments in the live stream also began to change.
"Holy crap, that explanation makes sense now!"
"Seeing the light again, that's a wonderful feeling!"
"This is much more sophisticated than 'Edison Chen'!"
"What a cultured person!"
"My name doesn't matter, what matters is who stole my million!"
......
Wen Guoliang sat on the sofa, looking at his phone screen, his expression unchanged.
A glimmer of hope?
That sounds nice, but it doesn't.
But so what?
No matter how nice the name sounds, it's all for nothing if the clothes don't sell.
He put down his teacup and continued reading.
……
Wang Guanxi stood on the stage, waited for the applause to stop, and then spoke again.
"But that's not enough."
His tone suddenly changed, becoming serious, even a little solemn.
"I want to tell everyone that there is a story behind the name 'Chongxi'."
The audience fell silent.
The chat in the live stream also stopped.
Everyone perked up their ears.
Wang Guanxi picked up the microphone and glanced at the audience.
"Next, please welcome Mr. Xiao Jiandong to the stage to receive his award!"
The audience fell silent instantly.
Everyone's eyes followed his gaze.
In the last row of the hall, a fat man stood up.
He was wearing a faded black T-shirt, blue jeans, and a pair of old canvas shoes.
Round face, buzz cut, and colorful tattoos showing on his arms.
He seemed a little nervous and almost tripped on the steps when he went on stage.
Someone recognized him.
"Huh? Isn't this the guy who caught someone cheating last month?"
"Yes, yes, that's him! He went to catch someone cheating and beat them up!"
"Is that him? What's he doing here?"
The whispers from the audience grew louder and louder.
The chat room exploded with comments.
"Holy crap! Is this fat guy the one who caught the adulterer?"
"The one who hit someone?"
"Why is he at the press conference?"
"Could he be the one who submitted the article?"
......
Wen Guoliang almost dropped the cup in his hand.
Xiao Jiandong?!
The deliveryman who hit his son?!
The lawyer hired by Wang Guanxi helped him with the case and he was given a suspended sentence, which made Wen Guoliang unhappy.
Now, Wang Guanxi has actually invited this criminal to the press conference?
Wait a moment……
Wen Guoliang's mind raced for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically.
Is Wang Guanxi trying to use Xiao Jiandong to generate buzz for his brand?
He recalled the trending topic on Douyin (TikTok) from over a month ago.
Wen Wubin catches a cheater, Prince Meiwei, three-person group sex...
These keywords were like needles pricking his brain.
That trending topic was orchestrated by Wang Guanxi!
Now Wang Guanxi has called Xiao Jiandong onto the stage, which is like getting two birds with one stone!
First, they'll smear Meiwei, then they'll generate buzz for their own brand!
Wen Guoliang's face immediately darkened.
He wanted to turn off the live stream, but his finger paused for a moment and then withdrew.
......
On the stage.
Xiao Jiandong walked over to Wang Guanxi and stood there awkwardly, unsure of what to do with his hands. In the end, they hung limply at his sides, like a schoolchild being punished.
Wang Guanxi patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to relax.
Then Wang Guanxi turned to the audience and began his performance.
"Everyone, some of you may recognize him. That's right, he's Xiao Jiandong, the person involved in the Jiangcheng adultery case last month."
The audience fell completely silent.
Wang Guanxi's voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear.
"I'd like to ask everyone, what kind of person do you think Xiao Jiandong is?"
No one answered.
Wang Guanxi answered it himself.
Some say he's a pitiful man who was cuckolded. Some say he's a criminal who assaulted someone. Others say he's just a deliveryman with no real skills.
He paused.
"But I want to tell you that he has another identity, which is the contributor of the two characters 'Chongxi'."
The audience erupted in a buzz of excitement.
The live stream chat was flooded with comments.
Holy crap!!!
"He named him?!"
"Really?!"
"This is so dramatic!"
......
Xiao Jiandong lowered his head, his face flushed red, and dared not look at the people below the stage.
Wang Guanxi continued, his tone calm.
"A little over a month ago, Xiao Jiandong's daughter, an eight-year-old girl, saw my news on Douyin about offering one million yuan for naming services. She didn't understand what a brand or business was, but she said something to me that I still remember to this day."
Wang Guanxi looked at Xiao Jiandong.
"Jiandong, tell everyone what your daughter said to you back then?"
Xiao Jiandong raised his head, his lips trembled a few times, and finally spoke.
His voice trembled slightly, but he pronounced each word clearly.
"That night... my wife wasn't home, and I was taking care of my daughter alone. She was scrolling through Douyin (TikTok) when she saw the news about Mr. Wang seeking names."
He swallowed hard and continued.
She ran over to me and asked, "Daddy, how much is a million?" I said, "A lot of money." Then she asked, "If my name is chosen and I receive a million, will you no longer have to deliver packages every day?"
Some people in the audience started wiping away tears.
