Chapter 7

At this moment, the position of the purple light gate was exactly the same as when Yi Xingchen left. Seeing this, Yi Xingchen couldn't help but speculate that every time he opened the purple light gate somewhere, he would appear in the same place when he returned from the Valley of Forgetfulness.

In other words, the coordinates were determined when the purple light gate was opened.

However, what Yi Xingchen was unsure about was whether these coordinates were fixed in one place. To make future travel more convenient, he needed to verify this issue.

Therefore, on the rooftop and in the bathroom, Yi Xingchen conducted several experiments and finally confirmed that the position of the purple light gate was not fixed; it moved with his movements.

After confirming his speculation, Yi Xingchen unexpectedly began to think about his current situation.

Now, both of his parents were no longer in the world, and Yi Xingchen had lost his source of income. But at present, there were two things he had to do. The first was to earn tuition fees to attend university; the second was to earn money to help the people of the other world.

Although these were two things, they essentially boiled down to one issue: as long as the Forgetfulness Wine sold well, it would not only solve the living problems of the people in the other world but also solve his tuition problem.

Therefore, what Yi Xingchen needed to decide at the moment was what method he should use to sell the wine.

Although Yi Xingchen had never tasted the famous wines of Blue Water Star, he had personally tasted the Forgetfulness Wine. At least, he had never heard of any wine on Blue Water Star that could achieve the effect of making people forget their worries. This was truly making people forget their worries, not just numbing their minds and bodies with alcohol.

Yi Xingchen believed that the Forgetfulness Wine would definitely leave a lasting impression on everyone who tasted it, and he was even more confident that anyone who truly loved wine would spend a fortune to buy the Forgetfulness Wine.

However, Yi Xingchen was not blindly optimistic. He also knew that the Forgetfulness Wine had a shortcoming. It was completely unknown in Blue Water Star, essentially a "three-no" product. There were countless types of wine, and no one would casually taste a wine they had never seen before.

Because the Forgetfulness Wine was in short supply, Yi Xingchen did not want to cheaply sell it to open the market. Therefore, he needed a high-end sales channel to promote the Forgetfulness Wine to the wealthy and enter the upper class market.

Thinking of this, Yi Xingchen couldn't help but think of his biological father again.

If Mr. Yi had not died in an air accident, perhaps with his connections, he could have helped Yi Xingchen. Unfortunately, there were no such "ifs" in the real world.

The most regrettable thing was not that Yi Xingchen was an illegitimate child, but that he had never lived with his biological father, unable to enjoy the benefits of his father's influence or have the opportunity to enter the upper class. Without connections, how could he proceed?

The simplest method Yi Xingchen could think of was sales promotion. Therefore, he needed a platform to promote to customers who had a genuine intention to buy.

Fortunately, the city where Yi Xingchen lived, named Fragrant Brewing City, was known for its wine industry. The city had hundreds of various wineries and dozens of national wine trading companies.

Every quarter, Fragrant Brewing City held one or two wine exhibitions, attracting sales companies and major clients from all over the country. Even more, the city government held an international exhibition every year to attract foreign wine trading companies for international trade. Leveraging its long-standing reputation in the wine industry and the appeal of regular wine feasts, Fragrant Brewing City's various industries, especially tourism, had developed rapidly.

In his first year of high school, to show that he was already an adult, Yi Xingchen had once attended a wine exhibition with a few classmates and enjoyed some free wine. Therefore, Yi Xingchen had a general understanding of the exhibition.

Thinking of this, Yi Xingchen no longer hesitated and took immediate action. After leaving his residence, he took a bus to the exhibition center in Fragrant Brewing City. The bulletin board at the exhibition center would have the latest and most accurate information about the exhibitions.

Sure enough, the information on the bulletin board at the exhibition center showed that there would be a large-scale international fruit wine exhibition in two days. What surprised and delighted Yi Xingchen even more was that there was a booth rental notice next to the announcement, listing the prices for different levels of booths.

Upon closer inspection, Yi Xingchen found that, perhaps due to the hasty organization of this exhibition, there were still many vacant booths at the exhibition center.

Seeing this, Yi Xingchen's heart stirred. This was his opportunity! Yi Xingchen's goal was to promote, and if he could get a booth, he could promote the Forgetfulness Wine legitimately.

With a try-it-out attitude, Yi Xingchen walked into the management office of the exhibition center.

The management hall of the exhibition center was very quiet. Yi Xingchen saw a middle-aged lady in a uniform sitting idly behind a marble counter, watching TV on her smartphone.

This lady was clearly the on-duty staff member of the management office. Yi Xingchen looked around, and at this moment, there was no one else in the management hall except for this lady.

The middle-aged lady glanced at Yi Xingchen as he entered the management hall. Perhaps because she saw that Yi Xingchen was very young and didn't seem to be anyone important, she ignored him and continued to focus on her phone.

Yi Xingchen was not bothered by this. Since there was no exhibition today, there was no one to handle business at the management office. The person on duty was clearly not in a high position, at most a regular clerk. Yi Xingchen was familiar with this style of management office clerks; he had seen many of them when he handled personal documents alone while his mother was busy.

"Ma'am, I want to rent a booth for the international fruit wine exhibition the day after tomorrow..." Yi Xingchen approached the lady and asked.

"Fill out the form first!" The middle-aged lady didn't even look up, took out a form, and handed it to Yi Xingchen.

Yi Xingchen took the form and was about to fill it out when the middle-aged lady slightly raised her eyes and said, "What level of booth do you want to rent?"

"Level three booth," Yi Xingchen replied.

Hearing this, the middle-aged lady had an "I knew it" expression and continued to look down with a slight disdain, saying nothing.

The exhibition center's booths were divided into three levels, each with different prices. The level three booth was the smallest and the cheapest, usually ranging from 300 to 600 yuan. Generally, if the booth had a significant influence and there was strong competition, the price would be higher.
