The most popular video was of several male college students fighting over a Daoist priest's chicken feet in their dormitory.
On the one hand, it might be because these male college students are all quite good-looking, some with a cute and innocent look, and some with a more delicate, youthful appearance—all sorts of different types, and all quite attractive. On the other hand, the scenes are so realistic and down-to-earth that they make you smile and give you a feeling of being back in your college days...
Moreover, these two students, who are skilled at creating their own media content, already had a built-in audience, so as soon as the video was posted online, media outlets automatically and spontaneously began to repost it.
Wen Xu only saw the video online after its popularity had been steadily rising.
Although he majored in marketing management in college, how many young people these days don't use the internet? So he's quite adept at understanding online trends. As soon as he saw this video, he quickly shared it and even commented below it, saying, "[Don't try to steal it, just ask me for it directly.]"
When netizens first saw this comment, they thought it was just some random commenter talking nonsense. But after clicking into Wen Xu's video account, they realized that it really was a product manufactured by Wen Xu's company.
Although it's obvious that Wen Xu's behavior was an attempt to ride the wave of popularity and advertise, most netizens didn't seem to mind. In fact, they even started making jokes in the comments section of Wen Xu's post.
The one said, "Just give it to me! I want 10 packs."
The person said, "[I'm not that greedy, just give me one pack of each.]"
[Give me two boxes. Address below...]
Wen Xu later actually had someone randomly select two people from this group of netizens, privately ask them for their addresses and WeChat, and then sent a box to each of them.
The netizens who received the goods were initially bewildered, then overjoyed, and finally went online to express their gratitude to President Wen for his generosity.
This wave of online traffic has completely shown Wen Xu how to play the game.
Because he only used two boxes of chicken feet, he trended on social media for several days.

Yun Zhaozhao only learned about this later. After finding out, she admired Wen Xu quite a bit.
Because even though they both use the internet, Wen Xu is much more skilled at it than her.
It's just that everyone has different strengths, so they can't be compared.
In June, Yun Zhaozhao's government subsidy application finally came through.
Since the money was intended to subsidize the agricultural base, Yun Zhaozhao didn't squander it. Instead, she invested most of it in production at the agricultural base. She first spent money to add some agricultural production tools, and then rented a larger open space in the village to build a modern breeding farm.
Unlike the makeshift farm that Grandpa Lin had previously built haphazardly in the yard, the newly built farm is not only larger in scale but also has much clearer functional zoning. Which area is for raising chickens, which area is for raising geese, which area is for raising ducks... everything is clearly defined. There are special tools to help with feeding, watering, and even collecting eggs, which has saved Grandpa Lin a lot of work.
Moreover, what farms fear most is various viruses, and the newly built farms now have more standardized sterilization and disinfection procedures. In this regard, Yun Zhaozhao's Clear Breeze Temple has an advantage, after all, they not only have their own Chinese herbal medicine shop, but also have Daoist doctors like Daoist Qiuting with superb medical skills.
Yun Zhaozhao hadn't initially considered having Daoist Qiuting take on the role of veterinarian, after all, he was a renowned Daoist doctor, and many patients who wanted to see him might not even be able to get an appointment. Yun Zhaozhao wouldn't dare to waste such a talent.
Let her treat poultry like chickens, ducks, and geese.
In the end, it was Daoist Qiuting took the initiative to give Yun Zhaozhao several packets of traditional Chinese medicine, saying that she could add these herbs to the poultry's diet to enhance their resistance to viruses. After all, like humans, prevention is often better than cure for poultry.
Whether it's because these chickens, ducks, and geese usually roam in the mountains and forests, or because of the herbal medicine from Daoist Qiuting, Grandpa Lin's poultry farming has been very successful so far. There haven't been any large-scale outbreaks of chicken or duck plague, or even small-scale outbreaks.

June was indeed a month of double happiness. In addition to Yun Zhaozhao successfully receiving the government subsidies she applied for, the Daoist temple guesthouse at Clear Breeze Temple also opened smoothly this month.
At the opening ceremony, not only were all the Daoist priests from Clear Breeze Temple present, but also people from True Yang Temple and Chairman Jiang's side came to support Yun Zhaozhao.
It was only this time that Martial Uncle Chuli was able to meet Daoist Jingyang again.
Previously, when Daoist Jingyang was in front of Yun Zhaozhao, he still had the demeanor of a great Daoist master, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he had the air of an immortal. However, when he was in front of Martial Uncle Chuli, he became extremely humble and subservient, with a touching demeanor.
Yun Zhaozhao didn't want to say much about the internal grudges within Clear Breeze Temple, especially since today was her day and she had many things to do and many people to receive. So, Yun Zhaozhao simply handed over her Martial Uncle Chuli to Daoist Jingyang for care and stood at the door to welcome guests from all sides.
Unlike other places, this Daoist temple guesthouse didn't have any grand opening activities. It was just a place where people could come and stroll around, then sit in the courtyard and chat with friends, whether they knew each other or not.
Wen Xu also came that day.
Upon entering and seeing so many Daoist priests, he almost couldn't resist turning back. Fortunately, Jingting was quick-witted and spotted him immediately, then called out from across the courtyard, " Young President Wen!"
Wen Xu: "..." Xie Xie you so much.
This was Chairman Jiang's first time meeting Wen Xu. However, he had heard Wen Xu's name mentioned by friends in the business world before. In the past two years, City A has attached great importance to the real economy, especially to young entrepreneurs, and has provided a lot of policy support and preferential treatment. Young entrepreneurs like Yun Zhaozhao and Wen Xu are not only liked by leaders of relevant government departments, but Chairman Jiang also admires and likes them very much.
So as soon as Wen Xu arrived, Chairman Jiang didn't even wait for Yun Zhaozhao to introduce him; he took the initiative to chat with Wen Xu enthusiastically. "You must be the head of Wen Group's Enterprises? You are indeed young and promising, a true talent!"
Wen Xu replied with equal composure, "You flatter me. May I ask your name?"
After Chairman Jiang introduced himself, Wen Xu addressed him affectionately as Chairman Jiang. Wen Xu had been taken to various business events by his father since childhood, so he was quite adept at handling even the largest events, let alone a simple guesthouse opening.
So even though it was their first meeting with Chairman Jiang, the two quickly struck up a lively conversation, acting as if they had met countless times before.
Jingting listened to their casual conversation and realized for the first time that he was tongue-tied. He was usually the talkative one in the live stream, but in this formal setting, he couldn't even get a word in edgewise, and there were some topics he couldn't even understand.
Wen Xu chatted with Chairman Jiang for a long time before Chairman Jiang was called away by others. It was only at this point that Wen Xu was able to focus on talking to Jingting.
Wen Xu: "Where is your abbot? I haven't seen him."
Jingting glanced around; Yun Zhaozhao had been waiting at the entrance to greet guests just moments before, but she was nowhere to be seen now.
Jingting shook her head. "I don't know. She probably went to the kitchen!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Xu's eyes lit up instantly. "Is the head chef in the kitchen today Master Daoist Chang Kong? Right, right?"
Jingting: "For such an important event as the opening, it's natural that Senior Brother Changkong is in charge of the head chef. Our temple's canteen even closed for a day because of it!"
Wen Xu jumped up from his seat. "I'll go in and take a look."
Jingting watched Wen Xu's retreating figure, feeling a little lost. He remembered his last conversation with Lin Banxia Lin Banxia said that Wen Xu's patronage of Clear Breeze Temple's business meant he must have taken a liking to their Temple Master Yun. Jingting had initially thought so too, but now he couldn't help but wonder if Wen Xu wasn't interested in Temple Master Yun, but rather in Senior Brother Changkong?
Otherwise, why did Wen Xu not react much when he heard that Temple Master Yun was in the kitchen, but react so strongly when he heard that Senior Brother Changkong was also in the kitchen?
A few years ago, when Jingting was still a naive young man who hadn't seen much of the internet, he might have found this unimaginable. But now, Jingting felt that it was understandable whoever Wen Xu had taken a liking to.
After all, the abbot is so handsome and good at making money; the senior brother is so capable and good at cooking... No matter which one of them Wen Xu takes a fancy to, in Jingting's mind, Wen Xu is climbing the Wen Xu ladder.

Wen Xu had no idea what kind of nonsense Jingting was thinking; he was simply missing Daoist Chang Kong's cooking skills so much that he couldn't stop thinking about it.
So as soon as he entered the kitchen, he couldn't wait to see what Daoist Chang Kong was making that day.
Daoist Chang Kong was currently stir-frying a large pot of pork ribs in front of the stove. The ribs were fried until they were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a golden-brown color. You didn't even need to taste them; just looking at them was enough to tell you how crispy and tender they were.
Upon seeing Wen Xu, Daoist Chang Kong didn't react much, merely nodding slightly as a greeting. Then, he picked up a large bucket of water and poured it into the pork ribs, beginning to prepare a soup.
On the stove next to it, there were some prepared dishes and some already cooked dishes.
Wen Xu looked around for a while and found that there were many foods he liked to eat. He then looked away with satisfaction and went to find Yun Zhaozhao.
Yun Zhaozhao is currently in the kitchen looking at the menu on the wall, secretly calculating the serving time for each dish.
Later, Clear Breeze Guesthouse will arrange for nearby chefs to work there, because the Daoist priests at the Daoist temple all have their own dreams of entering the Tao, and Yun Zhaozhao cannot disrupt other people's cultivation and Daoism rhythm for the sake of her own homestay dream.
Moreover, the Daoist temple guesthouse is mainly intended to provide a temporary platform for communication and exchange for those who like Clear Breeze Temple or Daoist culture. To truly understand Clear Breeze Temple and Daoist culture, one still needs to visit Clear Breeze Temple in person. Therefore, anyone can be in charge of the guesthouse kitchen, as long as the food is delicious.
