"I think that I could start a project in the hospital. It could start running any time we want and then go on for the duration of either Bright Yellow Water’s preparation or even the cooking show. We could even ask them for collaboration.
"The subject matter would be the health benefits of a balanced diet. Young Master Xiao could share some easy recipes with a focus on a simple and fast cooking process that anybody could implement in their daily lives while still not having to forgo the health benefits of healthy ingredients. On the other hand, I and the hospital staff could provide information about the ingredients, diets in general, and specific dietary needs."
Si Yi slightly raised his brows and nodded with satisfaction. "That is a very good idea. We should probably wait with asking him about that until after the first few special live streams have been shown though. You can pretend that you either saw it online because it was shared so much or heard about it from one of your patients and thus got the idea. It wouldn’t be too strange and I could imagine that Bright Yellow Water would actually agree to take part in this. Young Master Xiao does like to give some advice on the side when he can."
Si Shi Qi who was still discussing the marketing plan with Si Si at the side but had listened to the other ideas with half an ear piped up at that. "Si Si and I could maybe make use of that as well. Dishes that are easier to cook would do very well for getting people together and give cooking a try as well. If the dishes are too complicated, people might not want to do so. So if Si Shi started on that project, we could maybe use such specials as the basis."
Si Yi nodded and then turned to Si Shi Jiu. "Is there any chance that you could do something on the political side of things? I am sure that something that benefits the health of our country’s people might be able to be included there."
Si Shi Jiu nodded. "I was thinking along the same lines. I just didn’t know how exactly to bring it up. I think that if such a project is already running, then adapting it for a bigger scale should be relatively easy. But we could only start with that later on when Si Shi’s part has been going on for some time and shown that people can really benefit from it."
Si Yi nodded. "Very well. The four of you discuss it among yourselves. Come up with a plan of action that covers the next year. I want a specific timeline that we can get Master to check before we start implementing anything else."
The four nodded and Si Shi and Si Shi Jiu went over to huddle together in the corner with the other two, adding their ideas. Si Shi Qi whipped out his phone to take some notes now that the plan was going to become more detailed.
Meanwhile, Si Yi turned to Si Shi Yi.
"Oh, I’ll share it with my own fans." Before Si Yi could complain again that that was just to be expected, Si Shi Yi glanced over at the group of four that was spiritedly discussing the marketing plan. "I could frame it as an issue of the need to eat healthy to keep the body well for people like me that don’t like sports but need to make sure that they are able to perform to the best of their abilities. It could be the first one in a row of posts that showcase the health benefits of good food. That would give Si Shi the opportunity to start with his health program."
Si Yi gave him a long look. Obviously, this guy hadn’t thought of that before and had just made it up on the spot. But anyway, as long as this plan was beneficial to their overall goal, he wouldn’t say anything about it. Thus, he nodded, gave Si Shi Qi a sign to incorporate the idea, and then turned to Si Shi Er.
His expectations for his idea weren’t high. Si Shi Er was an engineer so there really wasn’t anything much that he could do from his occupation alone. He would probably go with something simple like posting it as well.
Si Shi Er pursed his lips into a tight line, straightening up even further. "I … I will have my boyfriend share it!"
Si Yi raised his brows, the contempt in his gaze getting even stronger. "What will you accomplish with that? Your boyfriend is unemployed!"
Si Shi Er hung his head, not sure what else to say. He could probably share it himself as well but that also wasn’t that much better and he had never posted anything that was related to cooking before. It would make people question what was going on. Thus, he had really thought that this would still be the best thing to do.
Si Yi shook his head in anger and just ignored him, turning to Si Shi San instead.
Si Shi San gave a breezy smile and then shrugged his shoulders. "I guess I will jump onto the health bandwagon then and start the health program at my school."
"Not bad. Thinking about that, maybe Si Wu could propose something similar at the university. When the program starts in your school, work together with him to try and have them start something as well." Si Yi turned to Si Shi Si to continue.
"Well, I’ll just share it myself. As an athlete, it wouldn’t be that strange."
Everyone then turned to look at Si Shi Wu, feeling that there wasn’t even a question about it. With him being a professional chef anyway, there was no reason to wonder what to do.
"I will share several posts about the upcoming TV show and also cover the live streams of Bright Yellow Water. Maybe I’ll even do a review of their channel. It would likely attract quite a few people."
Si Yi nodded. "That is a good idea. Also, Young Master Xiao will likely be flattered when he sees some professional acknowledgment. Don’t forget to drop Master’s name."
"I won’t. I’ll say that he was the one who informed me of the live stream."
Si Yi nodded and then turned to Si Shi Liu. "Let me guess, you’re going to suggest having a discussion about healthy food at the police department?"
Si Shi Liu gave a wry smile. "Si Yi, you’re too perceptive. I have no idea how you figured out my mind this soon."
Si Yi shook his head and then turned to Si Shi Ba since Si Shi Qi was already working on the marketing plan. As a psychiatrist, Si Shi Ba was in a similar situation to Si Shi but at the same time, he wasn’t as free to implement things as Si Shi was. After all, mental health wasn’t something that could be treated with some workout and good food. Also, even as ninjas, they still had a sense of morals, and advertising this channel to any specific patient would go against their ethics.
Si Shi Ba did indeed sigh and furrowed his brows. "It is difficult to do anything using my occupation. I think I will also have to fall back on doing something privately. Maybe I could be part of the groups that would cook following the live streams. With me in the lead, we could maybe find some people in similar occupations that would come together. Maybe Si Shi could also join in on that."
Si Yi nodded and then turned to Si Er Shi. Once again, his hopes weren’t too high. As an accountant, his chances to advertise the live stream in the professional circle weren’t very good either.
"I had a hard time coming up with something. Maybe I could ask to join the team of Bright Yellow Water? With more opportunities in front of them, they will have a harder time focusing on things like taking care of their finances. I could probably ask for a background job that would allow me to gather more information for Master while also helping them out."
Si Yi shook his head. "That is not a bad idea but they will not agree. Qian Huang is already the one working as Young Master Xiao’s assistant. Since they have been doing the live streams together since the very beginning, they will continue to do so unless they are forced by circumstances.
"Right now is not the moment for that. And when it is, Young Master Xiao will hopefully already be our Master’s partner. At that time, it will be a matter of course for us to take over such menial tasks. I think it is better for you to step back this time. You will definitely have a chance to help out the next time."
Si Er Shi nodded and then stepped back indeed.
Si Yi looked at all the men gathered, his gaze serious. "Alright, everybody should go and work on their part of the plan. Make sure that you have something presentable ready when Master gets up later on. Don’t forget: This is not just about healthy eating or good food but about making Young Master Xiao and Bright Yellow Water known in our country. Also, in the early steps, everything should lead back to Master as often as possible. So make sure that if you get the chance, you will use his name."
"Yes!" With that, everybody went to work on their part of the big plan, laying the foundation for Bright Yellow Water’s upcoming popularity.
