Chapter 756: Please leave this to me
Ye Wanxi instinctively wanted to ask, "Are you buying balloons?" But then she thought that although these girls were young, they were all clearly adults, and buying balloons seemed inappropriate.
Furthermore, they are all her fans. If she makes an offer, even if they don't like it or find it useless, they will definitely spend money to buy it. Isn't this a scam?
Thinking about it this way, Ye Wanxi silently swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
However, she underestimated the extent to which her fans loved her. When they learned that Ye Wanxi and her companion were selling balloons to buy groceries to make ends meet, they complained about the production team while feeling sorry for their idols who couldn't even afford food and clothing while participating in the show. They all took out their money to buy balloons.
"How much does one of these balloons cost?"
"It's five yuan each, but do you really want to buy this? This thing is for little kids, isn't it?"
"Hey, who isn't a baby at heart? Is there a rule that this can only be sold to children and not to adults? No, I like these balloons, so please sell them to me."
"Yes, yes, we like them. They're only five yuan each, so cheap! How about you sell them to us for ten yuan each? I see you don't have many balloons, so why don't you just sell them all to us?"
Ye Wanxi: "..." Good heavens, this is the first time in my life I've ever seen someone buy something and then voluntarily pay extra, vying to be Yuan Shikai's big spender.
Ye Wanxi ultimately did not agree to the girls' "unreasonable demands," and sold them at the original price, limiting each girl to one.
Unable to dissuade Ye Wanxi, the group reluctantly chose their favorite design, paid for it, and left with a heavy heart, turning back to look at her every step of the way.
Not long after the girls left, another group of girls ran over. Ye Wanxi asked and found out that the girls who had left earlier had helped spread the word.
The fans in the same area already had their own independent communication groups, and when they made a fuss, many fans who were nearby all came over.
Even with the limit of one balloon per person, so many people came at once that Ye Wanxi and Feng Tianyu didn't have enough balloons to go around, so they had to go to the vendor and buy a few dozen more.
Seeing Ye Wanxi and her companion bustling with customers and selling like hotcakes, the planner quietly turned to the director and whispered, "Director, isn't this cheating?"
The director's eyelids twitched, and he finally sighed helplessly: "What kind of cheating is this? If this is considered cheating, then which of the others isn't cheating?"
The planner glanced at the other split screens. Gu Shaoling and her partner were busy singing, while Nie Yuyang, as a singer-songwriter, carried a guitar with him.
The production team had been collecting things before, but they couldn't very well take this item from the other party, so it's coming in handy now.
Although Nie Yuyang's popularity is not as high as some of the younger artists, his songs are widely sung across all age groups. As soon as he started singing, he attracted a lot of passersby to watch. Occasionally, when he sang a high note, people would throw money into the small plate that Gu Shaoling was holding and give Nie Yuyang a warm round of applause.
Zhao Yun'er and her colleagues work in a similar field to Ye Wanxi and her colleague, selling things, except they sell flowers instead of balloons.
Like Ye Wanxi and the other two, some fans also recognized Zhao Yun'er, and one of them was a male fan.
He bought a large bouquet of roses on the spot to give to Zhao Yun'er, and Li Guangjun, who was standing next to him, turned pale.
Jiang Yulai is a singer like Nie Yuyang, so his idea is similar to Nie Yuyang's: to perform his talent on the street, which would give him exposure and generate buzz, showcasing his skills, and also earn money to complete his mission—a win-win situation.
Compared to them, Lian Lifan and his partner's method was quite simple and straightforward.
He simply stood there, attracted fans, didn't sell anything, just took photos with fans, signed autographs, and then collected money.
As a popular idol who rose to fame through a talent show, eight or nine out of ten of Li Fan's fans are female.
Some of these female fans ran away when he announced his relationship, and the remaining ones didn't have a particularly good attitude towards Lin Yuxiu. This resulted in Lin Yuxiu being excluded from the entire interaction with fans while Lian Lifan was busy interacting with them. She was even deliberately pushed to the outer edge by fans, standing there looking lost and helpless.
Lian Lifan, however, was completely unaware of this. His mind and eyes were filled with the girls in front of him, and he was completely immersed in the joy of being surrounded by fans. He did not notice that his girlfriend, who was originally by his side, had disappeared.
The planner's lips twitched slightly. Indeed, compared to Ye Wanxi and her partner, Lian Lifan seemed to be cheating.
These balloons are targeted at children, and each balloon, when blown up, resembles a small animal.
After finally distributing balloons to the fans, I reminded them to go home early and not to crowd here and obstruct traffic or pedestrians.
Ye Wanxi and her companion breathed a sigh of relief, but by then they only had two balloons left in their hands.
Ye Wanxi looked at the two balloons and was about to say that they shouldn't be sold and should be taken back as souvenirs when a soft, sweet voice suddenly came from the side.
"Sister, can you sell one of your balloons to Nuonuo?"
Ye Wanxi was stunned for a moment before she noticed a little girl, about four or five years old, with two pigtails, standing a few steps away from them. Behind the little girl was a couple who looked to be in their early thirties.
Hearing her daughter's words, the mother gazed at her daughter with tenderness, while the father on the other side also gazed at his wife and child with tenderness, though a hint of weariness and worry lingered between his brows, which, despite his best efforts to conceal it, still betrayed a trace of it.
Having sold balloons for so long, she had finally encountered a real "baby." Ye Wanxi smiled and replied softly, "Of course."
The little girl's eyes lit up slightly, and she hurriedly pulled her parents to Ye Wanxi's side, raising her head to look at the two balloons in Ye Wanxi's hand with a troubled expression.
These balloons that can fly are targeted at children, and each balloon has a small animal design when blown up.
Ye Wanxi had two balloons left in her hand, one was a puppy and the other was a lion.
Have you decided which one you want to choose?
The little girl puffed out her cheeks in embarrassment and turned to her mother for a question: "Mommy, can I buy two?"
The little girl's mother said softly, "Sweetie, didn't we just agree to only buy one?"
The light in the little girl's eyes dimmed slightly, and she conceded softly, "Okay."
Seeing this, Ye Wanxi couldn't help but laugh. She squatted down and looked at her, saying, "Baby, do you like both of them? Are you wondering whether to buy the dog or the lion cub?"
The little girl nodded obediently, gazing at her expectantly: "Mmm!"
"How about you and the baby discuss it, and we can leave this little lion with you, okay?"
