Chapter 462: Chapter 462

"Mr. Jiang, our lady is out handling some matters and hasn’t returned yet. Would you like to wait inside?"

The little ghost guarding the entrance floated out from the mountain, respectfully saluted, and then quietly added, "But our lady has been out for two days, so I really don’t know when she’ll be back."

She’s actually not home?

Jiang Yuan genuinely hadn’t expected this, and immediately waved his hand to indicate he wouldn’t be going inside.

Why enter when the main person isn’t there?

He took out the Communication Stone and sent the other party a voice message. A few seconds later, he received a sweet reply from Tang Qin, "I’m really sorry, Mr. Jiang. I’ve been so busy these days that I haven’t had a chance to inform you properly."

The other side seemed a bit chaotic, and after a short pause, she explained in a lowered voice, "The matter you asked me to investigate last time is true!

The actual situation might be worse; many of our Ghost Cultivators have been summoned by the Yin Messengers to help track the whereabouts of the escapees. This situation has caused a panic among ghosts, and even the timeline at Mountain Shadow City has been postponed. I will contact you as soon as there is news..."

What the heck?! What kind of ghostly presence is this? Not only can it escape from Hell, but it also causes such a major commotion?

He pondered for a moment and went back to advise Grandpa Wan, urging extreme caution during this period. If things get really difficult, it’s better to temporarily retreat to the city for a while, lest the Level Five protective shield of the second home and those two Guardian Arrays fail to withstand the danger.

After making a round, he returned to the courtyard, looking at a pile of side tasks, none of which could be done.

Taking an apprentice to visit the grandfather has to wait until next month; at the end of the month, he can carry Spirit Fruit to respond to Seventh Lady’s invitation in the Wilderness above;

The inheritance at Spiders Valley depends on the refining speed of Little Eight; the ingredients for Old Dragon’s Elixir haven’t been gathered for refining;

When the Blue Bird can advance in Realm also depends on her own cultivation; the vastness of the Mist Veil Ridge can’t be cleared up quickly; and then there are the Mandarin Duck Swords—where in the vast sea of people can new owners be found for them?

"Ling Di is off cultivating and it’s not good to disturb; originally, I wanted it to give Yun Shu a hand... Or maybe..." Jiang Yuan glanced at his hand, where Chan Yu had left an imprint when she departed, wondering if he should visit her place to look for poison?

Or head to the Mist Veil Ridge dungeon to help Blue Bird fight monsters? Or maybe take advantage of Little Eight’s seclusion and gather more at Spiders Valley?

As he was hesitating, an odd "sound" suddenly caught his attention.

It felt as though it was both far away and right next to him, something was buzzing, followed by a familiar ringing.

"The phone?!" It took him two seconds to realize it was his phone ringing!

He quickly exited Wilderness World, opened his eyes, and grabbed the buzzing phone to answer.

"Good news, we’ve got a big order!" Yang Hongye’s excited voice came through the receiver, "How much Sleeping Incense surplus do we have? Do you know? Let me tell you, this time, even if we don’t first supply the group’s business, we must prioritize this order!" Original content can be found at novel(ꜰ)ire.net

Jiang Yuan was still a bit dazed; lately in Wilderness World, he’s been focused on farming, doing tasks, and dealing with Lifespan, while the Incense Making and Paperman and Paper Horse Skill had been largely untouched. However, the Sleeping Incense stock was still very adequate.

Based on his understanding of Yang Hongye, her excitement was sure to bring more than just a little benefit.

"We have an adequate amount for now, how much do you need?" he asked, "Did you develop new clients yourself?"

Yang Hongye couldn’t suppress the smile on her face. This time, it’s not just about money; once there are strong connections through quality products, everything becomes easy!

She took a sip of ice water to cool her excitement, and explained patiently, "Here’s the situation. Old Zhang, who is our company’s boss, has lucky timing and secured a collaboration with an official entity!

Next, it’s up to those of us specializing in maintaining client relations to show our capabilities. But you know, gifting for this type of client requires a lot of expertise.

First, it can’t be flashy; those in the know understand.

Second, it can’t be of low quality; what good stuff haven’t they seen?

The most important aspect of gifting is that it makes them genuinely happy, leaving a lasting impression and never forgetting you! Otherwise, why are there so many outrageously expensive and somewhat useless items on the market? It’s all part of the art of gifting.

For example, last time, I customized a diamond-encrusted nail clipper set for a client who particularly loves beauty and nail art. With both items costing 20,000 each, others who gave handbags saw them collecting dust, while my set was kept in her handbag, and the relationship developed well!"

Realizing she got too excited and off-topic, Yang Hongye quickly steered the conversation back, "The final point, and the most crucial one, is that gifts must be spot-on without leaving room for gossip, and yet the client must be enamored with it!

Hey, isn’t this the time for us to shine with your premium product?

Firstly, the effect of Sleeping Incense is superb. Nowadays, even ordinary people pursue wellness, let alone the elite? A good sleep is hugely important!

Secondly, when it comes to Incense Sticks, their pricing can be quite deep.

Basically, I just carry them for visits; anyone would be unable to comment negatively. They’re effective yet understated.

What’s most crucial is—sleep disorders are the modern-day widespread and challenging issues.

What do we need for good sleep? Every aspect, from physical fitness to environmental influence and mood, can affect. Even with plenty of Sleeping Incense, without correcting sleep patterns, good rest is hard to achieve!

In other words, as long as we make the key clients realize the benefits of Sleeping Incense and can’t do without it, our network will be stable, and then wouldn’t newer ventures like night events be easier to launch?"

After Yang Hongye spoke fluently and rapidly, Jiang Yuan understood—she wanted to leverage their boss’s collaboration opportunity and introduce the medicinal incense into the upper echelon circle through gifting.

"Your Old Zhang sure knows how to conduct business, collaborating with official entities already?" Jiang Yuan stood up, rubbed his face, and replied, "Sleeping Incense can be picked up anytime; when do you want it?"

"You can’t overdo or look shabby in gifting; we should prepare sixty sticks at least." Yang Hongye counted on her fingers, "For six people, gifting ten sticks each brings perfection. The packaging needs individual designing; apart from single stick packaging being more subtly luxurious, the ten sticks should be presented as a set, making it look more impressive.

Additionally, beyond those gift cards, thank-you notes, trial kits, and the like, we need a beautifully crafted booklet introducing the medicinal incense products.

We need to let them know how precious and rare the materials are; while gifting, it can also serve as advertisement for the medicinal incense, hoping they remember it internally and promote it to others.

Take the patrons we collaborate with this time; they have higher-ups needing gifts too. The quality of our incense being strong can definitely become a long-term stable product of consumption!"

Jiang Yuan couldn’t immediately figure out how these connections would benefit him, but where there’s an opportunity, why not explore and expand? More friends mean more paths!

After the discussion, he hung up the phone, looked at the bright weather outside, and thought, now that he’s out here, why not go for a walk and stroll around? Maybe he could head to the riverside shop for fishing gear to fish?

Being busy in Wilderness World, twenty-four hours non-stop, back in the real world there’s no financial pressure; no danger to his life. Wouldn’t he enjoy the good times and relax?
