There's a saying in Jincheng: Lin Chuxia is vulgar, incompetent, hypocritical, and affected… she's good for nothing but her looks!
However, the one people least expected turned out to...
The scene was completely silent.
Since the guests couldn't see their phones, they were unaware of current online developments. Therefore, when the host asked the question, everyone was stunned.
Summer in the valley?
Isn't this the mysterious food blogger, the legendary owner of Jinxiu Manor with an astonishing number of followers?!
Although this food blogger is not in the entertainment industry, because of her huge number of fans and her status as the owner of Jinxiu Manor, everyone present, even those who were not her fans, had heard of her.
But hasn't that mysterious manor owner already been famous for several years?
Lin Chuxia is only twenty years old now, isn't she?
If she really is the owner of Jinxiu Manor, then wouldn't she have become famous in her teens?!
Everyone present looked at Lin Chuxia with puzzled expressions, and the latter slowly nodded amidst their astonished gazes.
"Summer in the valley truly belongs to me."
When she spared no effort in showcasing her culinary skills, she knew that this question would be waiting for her, either today or someday; in any case, some sharp-eyed netizens would eventually notice this detail.
The program team was able to ask the question on the spot today, which naturally made the program more effective.
Upon hearing Lin Chuxia's definitive answer, everyone present gasped.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "If you're the summer in the valley, then isn't the owner of Jinxiu Manor...?"
Although the man didn't say it outright, everyone knew what he wanted to ask.
Lin Chuxia smiled and explained, "Jinxiu Manor is not actually owned by our Lin family. I just manage it on their behalf. People call me 'Manor Lord' out of affection for me."
Jinxiu Manor was not developed by her alone, and she dared not take credit for it.
The manor already existed before Lin Chuxia took over it, but it wasn't famous or as big back then.
Today, Jinxiu Villa covers a large area and incorporates the land of several families. For example, the land of Xie Yi's family, who are neighbors of the Lin family, is managed by Lin Chuxia and her family.
Xie Yi was the only son in the Xie family, and he never wanted to stay at home. He studied law and naturally had to stay in the city to develop his ambitions. So when he learned that Lin Chuxia wanted to expand a unique mountain villa in his early years, he handed over his two mountains to her without much thought.
According to Xie Yi at the time, since the place was just lying fallow anyway, he didn't care what Lin Chuxia did. Even if she failed, he wouldn't feel bad. If she felt bad, he could just give them some rent when the resort actually made money.
When the neighboring families learned of this, they also approached Mr. and Mrs. Lin, expressing their thoughts and wanting to entrust their mountain to them for management. They didn't ask for much rent, but just wanted someone to help look after the mountain.
In those years, everyone was still leaving, and there weren't many young people left in Jinxiu Valley. So the hills were basically abandoned and unmanaged. It was only after Jinxiu Manor started to become popular that the people of Jinxiu Valley gradually stopped going out and instead stayed in their hometown to work.
At the time, Lin Chuxia and her colleagues didn't want to take advantage of their neighbors, so they signed an agreement with them that, in addition to paying the normal rent, they would share the profits with them.
At first, no one took it seriously, but unexpectedly, the dividends increased year by year. In the last two years, the dividends alone have been enough for their whole family to eat and drink well for several years without doing anything.
