Chapter 187: Brother, You Actually Have Such a Kink

Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong

Boss Cutie

Just when Jiang Muye was at his wit's end, thankfully Leng Ruoli was there to solve his problems for him.

"We can't sell these, but we can turn waste into treasure."

That single sentence from Leng Ruoli seemed to spark an epiphany in Jiang Muye. "Like, this fruit pulp could be made into dried fruit?"

"Yes, and it can also be made into candied fruit, jam, and fruit wine. And if it's smashed fruit and vegetables, they can be made into feed, so nothing goes to waste."

Jiang Muye's eyes lit up. Without another word, he wrapped his arms around Leng Ruoli's waist and started spinning her around. "I love you so much! You've really solved a huge problem for me!"

Leng Ruoli's little face was bright red. Her lily-white arms pushed at Jiang Muye as she said shyly, "I just gave my opinion, that's all~ Alright, put me down, don't tire yourself out."

Jiang Muye pecked a kiss on Leng Ruoli's red lips, the corners of his mouth curving upward. "How could holding you possibly be tiring? Heh heh, if I didn't still have a ton of things to deal with, I'd really want to hold you all day and never let go."

Leng Ruoli's ears were bright red. After Jiang Muye set her down, her tender white fingers clung to his waist and wouldn't let go. "Me too."

Jiang Muye felt a long-missed sweetness in his heart.

Just as he wanted to enjoy some proper intimacy with his little girlfriend, Leng Ruoli gently tugged at the hem of his shirt and muttered shyly, "Alright, my family has a food processing factory. Let's go turn the fruits and vegetables into food products first. We'll have plenty of time for romance anyway."

That single sentence made Jiang Muye's heart pound.

His girlfriend was just too thoughtful, too adorable.

"Once this whole mess blows over, I'll definitely make it up to you double." Jiang Muye gave Leng Ruoli's little face a thorough kneading. Her pink, plump cheeks were just so fun to squish.

Leng Ruoli reached out and lightly pinched Jiang Muye's hand. "Alright, that's enough."

"Heh, okay, let's go then." She became his little shadow completely as they set off.

Leng Ruoli brought Jiang Muye to a food processing factory acquired by the Leng Family.

The moment they arrived on site, Jiang Muye's System began sending alerts. 【Congratulations, Host, on a successful Check-in at the food processing factory. You have obtained a Top-Tier food processing secret formula.】

Among them were excellent recipes and ingredient lists for fruit wine, jam, and dried fruits and vegetables.

This was truly a pillow arriving just as one got sleepy!

It was like giving Jiang Muye a cheat right off the bat!

This filled Jiang Muye with even more confidence, and he went with Leng Ruoli to get in touch with the factory's manager.

When he rapidly typed on the computer, manually entering the Top-Tier food processing secret formula from his mind, Leng Ruoli was astonished.

"You're amazing, you can come up with all of this."

"It's just wild imagination. I figured we could give it a try." Jiang Muye smiled sheepishly at Leng Ruoli's admiring gaze.

When he handed the list to the manager, the manager threw cold water on it.

"I don't think this formula is very practical. Look at this fruit wine ingredient list, isn't it too messy? How could something made like this taste good? By any measure, this is Dark Cuisine."

Seeing the manager reject it, Jiang Muye raised an eyebrow and said in a firm tone, "Try this formula first. It might turn out really well."

"If it doesn't work out, wouldn't that just waste the raw materials? We've made fruit wine, candied fruit, and other products before. We could actually just use our old formula." The manager hesitated.

He was afraid that making it would produce too much waste and poor finished products, and then he, the manager, would have to take responsibility.

Naturally, he wanted to slack off and just copy the old model.

However, Leng Ruoli directly refuted the manager. "Right now we're making the snack brand Muye wants, not the Leng Corporation's brand. Do as he says. If there are any losses, put them on my account. I'll cover everything."

Leng Ruoli's expression was cool and aloof, her tone resolute.

She wasn't afraid of failure. Worst case, she and Jiang Muye would just start over from scratch.

Jiang Muye smiled at Leng Ruoli. "No need to argue with me over this at all. Everything goes on my tab."

His gaze swept coldly over the manager. "Understood?"

The manager's back broke out in sweat, cowed by Jiang Muye's presence. He nodded vigorously.

And so everything proceeded according to Jiang Muye's wishes. After the fruits and vegetables were sorted, they underwent secondary processing and became the "Jiang's Snacks" brand, which was then pushed into the market.

Of course, this also required promotional marketing. The publicity department went straight to the hottest streamer around, Li Ba.

During the product selection phase, Li Ba opened his mouth wide with demands. "Pure commission of eighty million, and the slot fee is separate, one million."

On top of that, he ruthlessly drove down prices. The snacks were all slashed to less than half their price, and he demanded at least five years' worth of one hundred boxes of free snacks for Li Ba's team.

When Jiang Muye got the news from the publicity manager, he refused without even thinking. "No."

"But Li Jiaba has traffic and huge popularity. His ability to move products is super strong." The publicity manager was still hesitant.

Jiang Muye said coldly, "So what? He's not the only streamer out there. The market can't possibly be monopolized by one person. We can become traffic too."

When Jiang Muye had the manager reject Li Ba, Li Ba shot back with a sour sneer. "I wouldn't pick your products anyway! Without me, you'd be lucky to sell ten items!"

Deep down, he looked down on this little brand.

They'd just gotten started and they already dared to offend him. They clearly didn't want to survive in this market at all.

No product that hadn't been promoted by him had ever turned out as anything but miserable.

And Li Ba had no idea that the boss behind "Jiang's Snacks" was none other than Jiang Muye.

Jiang Muye, having rejected Li Ba, naturally had to scout for a new streamer.

When Jiang Muye opened a certain video app to look at streamers, a shadow fell over him.

"So you like watching streamers like this…"

Jiang Muye was stunned for a moment before he saw Jiang Xueli, all smiles.

Only then did he realize that on his phone screen was a certain seductively posing streamer, dressed very skimpily, with very little fabric and especially sheer.

Oh no.

He had no idea when he'd scrolled down and landed on this chat streamer!

And of all people, Jiang Xueli had to see it.

"Well now, Brother, you actually have this kind of hobby. I'm telling Sister-in-law!" Jiang Xueli had clearly been led astray and was about to run off.

Jiang Muye's alarm bells went off.

That wouldn't do at all. His tall, handsome image couldn't be damaged in Leng Ruoli's heart.

Jiang Muye lunged forward and covered Jiang Xueli's mouth, speaking through gritted teeth. "I clicked it by accident!"

"How could you click it by accident? I heard that if you especially like watching certain streamers, the big data remembers it~" Jiang Xueli giggled.

Jiang Muye's eyes were full of grievance. "It was an accident!"

Jiang Xueli pulled Jiang Muye's hand away and laughed. "Alright, alright, I'm just teasing you, Brother. Have you been running into some trouble lately? I've noticed you've barely been at school. I finally finished filming and wanted to hang out with you, but you were nowhere to be found."

Suddenly Jiang Muye realized something, and his eyes locked firmly onto Jiang Xueli. "You have free time lately?"

"Yeah." Jiang Xueli nodded.

The corners of Jiang Muye's mouth curved upward. He had an idea. "Then can you do me a favor?"
