Immortal Becomes a Stay-at-home Dad After Return - Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Advertisement

Based on Chen Xi’s speculations, he was sure that the Ning family was quite powerful in Zhong Hai.

Otherwise, this matter regarding Zhao Yuan wouldn’t be suppressed so easily.

Hence, he had an idea.

Perhaps, he could find Ying Ying via the help of the Ning family.

After receiving Niu Qiu Tong’s assuring reply, Chen Xi boarded the car with an ‘I just casually won a lottery ticket’ expression.

Although he knew that the chance of finding her was slim, he still held onto the thin strand of hope.

If he he wins, it will be a jackpot.

If not, then he can only continue to slowly search…

The car steadily drove out of Jin Cheng Court.

However, Chen Xi suddenly came to a realization. There was still some time left before getting off work.

If he went back this early, Aunty Zhang might become suspicious again.

In order to maintain the good image in Aunty Zhang’s eyes, Chen Xi thought for a while before asking the driver to send him to Zhong Shan street.

Zhong Shan street, also known as the origin of this modern city, Zhong Hai. In the beginning of the previous century, Zhong Shan street had become a financial trade center in all of China and it has been seen as a construct and symbol of Zhong Hai’s history.

Along this street stood 52 classical Fu Xing building built during the previous century, which had a stark contrast with the modern day skyscrapers on the other side of the Dian river.

After instructing the driver to return back, Chen Xi got off the car and came to side of Dian river.

Leaning on the fence, Chen Xi enjoyed the soft caress of the sea wind.

Facing directly opposite him was the Star hotel that he had patronized a few days ago.

Chen Xi only had 1 reason to come here.

This was the place where he confessed his love to Ying Ying.

He remembered that year, a boy and a girl walked side by side.

Suddenly, the girl sped up and like a weightless butterfly, she flew forward with a smile.

The boy was caught unprepared and immediately chased forward.

However, the girl placed her hands behind her back and like a swallow, she gently turned around

She did not stop and as she moved backwards, she looked at the boy and gave a sincere laugh, “At this time, shouldn’t you say something to me?”

Her smile was like a flower as the wind blew on her long black hair. Her one-piece white skirt gently fluttered in the wind and the sunlight cascaded upon her, that blissful and beautiful moment was enough to make the world lose its color.

In that moment, the boy was stunned.

The girl smiled as she retreated. From the looks of it, she was about to disappear among the crowd. It was then did the the boy recover.

He cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted with all his might, “QIN RUO YING! I LIKE YOU!”

That day, at Zhong Shan street, it was also as crowded as now.

The boy did not know where he got his courage from, to be able to say out the little secret hidden deep in his heart at this kind of place.

There was no romantic display nor any eye-catching confession banner, there wasn’t even a banquet of flowers. There was only a youth sudden shout of confession, which caused quite a bit of commotion.

The crowd automatically moved to the 2 sides. On this crowded Zhong Shan street, an empty space temporarily appeared.

Then, under the gazes of anticipation of the masses, the boy sprinted towards the girl.

In return, he got a sweet kiss from a girl.

Thinking back to the feeling of that kiss, Chen Xi laughed dumbly to himself as he leaned against the fence.

In the blink of an eye, a few years had passed. However, that feeling was still as new as ever, deeply etched into his mind.

Chen Xi’s gaze wandered the opposite side of the Dian river.

Suddenly, his gaze swept over to the Fu Cheng building beside Star hotel.

Followed closely, an idea emerged in his head.

Next, he quickly took out his phone and contacted Ning Zhong Guo, “Mr Ning, can you help me with another thing…”

… … …

Fu Cheng building was the only building that was closest to Dian river and it was a 5A first class office building with a magnificent view.

This building was extremely famous in Zhong Hai and even in China. It was only because of his location, but because of…

The entire building was golden in color.

The golden building was erected on the bank of Dian river. Whenever the sky was clear, the light rays from the sun would cause the whole building to radiate an eye catching golden shine. It was stood out amongst the other skyscrapers.

If it was only due to its golden appearance, it was still not enough for it to be famous throughout the country.

The real reason why it was famous was because of its title, Earth’s largest LED advertisement.

Indeed, the interiors of Fu Cheng building were installed with countless LEDs.

Whenever night approached, Fu Cheng building would on the LEDs. Passer-bys would be able to see the world’s largest advertisement, with a width of 57m and a height of 63m and an area of 3591 m².

Of course, in order to install such a large advertisement board, the developers had to comply by the regulations of the National Outdoor Advertisement Registration Management. Hence, Fu Cheng building had to allow public advertisements and commercial advertisements to take turns occupying the advertisement space.

Because of this, the exposure duration of commercial advertisements at Fu Cheng building was very limited.

There were 2 ways to display the advertisements. One was everyday once, every exposure would be 15 seconds, which would continue for 30 days straight. The cost was 640,000¥.

The second type was an exposure of 1 hour straight. The cost was also 640,000¥.

Today was a normal day, it wasn’t a weekend nor was it a holiday.

However, Zhong Shan Street was too popular, hence even during off season, the crowd flow at Zhong Shan street was around 500,000 everyday.

Night dawned as the street lamps brightened up the area.

As usual, Fu Cheng building lit up its LED advertisement.

However, the content of the advertisement was a bit weird. There was only a string of strange words.

[Qin Ruo Ying, I am back, I am searching for you]

11 words, 3 punctuations.

One name, and a sentence with no head or tail.

Those people who saw the advertisement would ransack their brain as they tried to recall which celebrity was named Qin Ruo Ying.

From the first to the last, ranging from female celebrities to broadcasters, there seemed to be no one called Qin Ruo Ying.

However, since she was not a celebrity, then why use such an eye-catching method.

What does this sentence even means?

Who is Qin Ruo Ying?

Who in the world is ‘I’?

Fu Cheng building received a lot of commercial advertisements, the effects of every advertisement was proportional to its price.

However, this time, even the advertisement department of Fu Cheng building would not have thought that this advertisement, which was forcefully included by the higher ups, would have cause such a massive stir on the internet.

This advertisement was shared on countless social media platforms, such as Wei bo, forums, friend circles, independent social media and even on some side news.

Who is Qin Ruo Ying?

Who is finding her?

Is it another eye-catching hype?

重新掀起一场类似于当年‘贾君鹏，你妈妈喊你回家吃饭’的网络恶搞？
After several shares and discussions, people started to point out that it might be an internet prank, similar to that phrase that year, ‘Jia Jun Peng, your mother is calling you to go home to eat dinner’.

This ‘un-commercial advertisement like’ commercial advertisement easily captivated the curiosity of the masses with just a sentence.

Countless girls immediately came to the scene and took a selfie with the LEDs of Fu Cheng building. Under the picture, they wrote: Whoever can write my name there, I will bear his child!

Instantly, a strong thunderstorm swept across the internet, countless girl with the same name as Qin Ruo Ying immediately received calls from everyone.

Within an hour, a #FindingQinRuoYing appeared on Wei bo.

At 10pm, #WhoIsQinRuoYing entered the trending topics on Wei bo’s search bar.

Although the position was slightly at the back, however, based on the look of it, it might reach no.1 as time goes by.

Several philosophers and punsters unleashed their powers, resulting in all sorts of guesses and mysterious dramas…

As for the instigator Chen Xi, he sat on a chair near the Dian river, gazing at the radiating words in a daze.

Ying Ying, I really miss you…
