The True Thousand Gold Possessions of the Myriad Realms Trading System

Ruan Mianmian hurriedly said, "It's not for me to eat. I want to develop a culinary robot that draws on the strengths of many cuisines, so I need the cooking skills of chefs from various national cuisines."

"Robots cooking? There has been research on that before, but they never turned out well." After saying that, Director Liu advised Ruan Mianmian, "Research in this area is too difficult. You'd better not spend your time on it."

Ruan Mianmian said with a smile, "I'm confident I can succeed in the research. You just need to help me gather the people. Please tell them that I need to supervise their cooking while I'm researching this. Also, besides the eight major cuisines, I'd like to have all the other dishes, desserts, and drinks that are well-made."

If you're going to do something, do it the best you can, something that satisfies your appetite.

"I'll have someone help you find it." Leader Liu agreed without hesitation.

Although he believed the research would not be successful, it was something that Ruan Mianmian, a great contributor to the country, wanted, and it wouldn't take him much effort, so he was naturally happy to cooperate.

After receiving the reply that she could call her once she found the person, Ruan Mianmian got back to work.

This time, she was busy burying the small spirit stone veins she had captured in the secret realm in the country's famous mountains and rivers.

Given that spirit stones need to be mined, the location should actually be chosen in a desolate, godforsaken place, but Ruan Mianmian also harbored some fantasies—what if there were more spirit stone veins that could generate spiritual energy?

Famous mountains and rivers are inherently beautiful, and if it is said that burying spiritual stones can generate spiritual energy, then none other than them.

With her high cultivation level and fast speed, she buried small spiritual stone veins in famous mountains and rivers across the country in just two days.

I had just finished this task when Leader Liu called.

He helped contact several master chefs who would prepare state banquets and even made time for them—which is why he only contacted Ruan Mianmian two days later.

Ruan Mianmian happily followed the address and went there.

To express her gratitude, she brought a spirit stone pendant as a gift.

These spirit stone pendants were considered inferior jade by the Zhang family, but by the head chef of a state banquet, they were already quite good.

Therefore, the chefs who received the gifts all had faint smiles on their faces.

After presenting the gift, Ruan Mianmian explained her purpose.

When Ruan Mianmian said she wanted to replicate their cooking skills and implant them into a robot so that the robot could cook, the chefs all said it was impossible and tried to dissuade Ruan Mianmian for a while. In the end, seeing that Ruan Mianmian insisted, they stopped saying anything and just thought it was a young girl's sudden idea.

Unable to persuade them otherwise, the chefs began cooking according to the pre-arranged order.

Each chef has their own unique skills, and these skills obviously involve more than just one dish. Therefore, the recording of a chef demonstrating a dish can take a considerable amount of time.

Ruan Mianmian felt that the time was well spent and kept smiling.

Little did she know that while she was busy replicating the chef's skills, Pingjie's use of her account to simultaneously announce with the brand that their collaboration had expired and would no longer be conducted caused an uproar online.

Fans were furious, believing that Sister Ping had deliberately framed Ruan Mianmian, and left messages demanding an explanation.

Meanwhile, the haters were overjoyed, convinced that Ruan Mianmian was washed up and had faded into obscurity, which was why the brand unilaterally terminated the cooperation.

As for the brand's claim that it was a mutual decision, all the critics believe that this was just Ruan Mianmian's side trying to save face, and the brand was giving her some leeway.

Fans were already unhappy to see their idol lose more than ten endorsements, and when they saw haters making negative comments, they got even angrier and immediately started fighting with the haters.

After two days of controversy, the brand that previously collaborated with Ruan Mianmian officially announced its new spokesperson.

Fans were furious when they saw the new spokesperson.

It's either Qin Yingxue or Lan Yaochi; isn't this just splitting Ruan Mianmian's resources between the two of them?

Not only did they make Ruan Mianmian a supporting character before, but they also stepped on Ruan Mianmian to rise to the top. They even tried to steal all the endorsements. This is outrageous!

They were furious and frantically circled Pingjie and Golden Coast Entertainment Company, demanding an explanation.

Meanwhile, the haters started celebrating, convinced that Ruan Mianmian was a complete flop, which was why the company abandoned her and then promoted two newcomers to replace her.

Compared to fans and haters, ordinary netizens thought more deeply. They believed that Ruan Mianmian must have done something to offend the company, which led the company to use this method to subtly blacklist her.

So what exactly did Ruan Mianmian do to warrant such a ruthless move from the company?

She once saved the grandson of Zhang Zhiheng, the chairman of the top group of Golden Coast Entertainment Company. What did she do to make him do such a cruel thing?

Modern netizens are ubiquitous.

They quickly discovered that on A Bao's birthday, Ruan Mianmian gave him a jade pendant of mediocre quality. Later, she pretended not to understand Mr. Zhang Zhiheng's polite words and gave him another jade pendant of the same quality!

"Given the Zhang family's status and the large number of guests, it's really beneath her to present such a jade pendant in public!"

"Giving us a jade pendant like this is no problem, but it's really not presentable to the Zhang family's grandson. I suspect that Abao's parents probably think she's deliberately trying to disgust people, which is why they had Jin Hai'an suppress her like this."

"Mr. Cheung Chi-hang's acting is really good. He clearly doesn't like it, but he still acts like he really wants it. It must have been hard for him."

"Haha, the old man feels troubled, so he'll naturally make things difficult for the instigator later!"

Of course, there are also those who oppose this.

"Mr. Cheung Chi-hang was clearly happy to say that the jade pendant was a good thing, so why interpret it maliciously as him acting?"

Someone immediately retorted: "Haha, tell me, how could someone who earns tens or hundreds of millions a minute genuinely like a jade pendant worth less than 100,000? He's well-mannered and giving you face; you can't treat him like a fool!"

Some netizens, however, spoke up: "Stop arguing, they're not even talking about the same thing. If you pull the timeline together, Ruan Mianmian being a supporting character to Qin Yingxue and Lan Yaochi happened long before Ruan Mianmian gave the gifts. So, the claim that she suppressed Ruan Mianmian because of the gifts is unfounded!"

"So what? They just wanted to use her to promote their own star, they didn't intend to go too far. But she didn't know what was good for her, she treated them like fools and gave them such terrible gifts, that's why they got angry and removed all her endorsements, giving them to their own people instead."

For every rational question raised by netizens, someone has come forward to prove its "reasonableness".

At first glance, this seems quite reasonable, so many people believe it.

Suddenly, many more people started mocking Ruan Mianmian.

Ping was extremely anxious and tried her best to conduct public relations according to the established procedures.

First, it's important to clarify the intention of giving inexpensive gifts: "Abao is just a child. If he wears expensive gifts, it's easy for him to attract unwanted attention. So giving him gifts of insignificant value is the right thing to do."

"We are a land of etiquette, and since ancient times, we have valued the sentiment behind small gifts. When did it become necessary to give lavish gifts?"
