12 012 I was so angry
◎Strike.◎
There was a lively atmosphere in Ren Lu's live broadcast room, while there was an unusually anxious atmosphere in Peng Hongyu and his wife's live broadcast room.
Many fans left messages in the barrage, asking them to give up and tell them the truth.
However, the two were surrounded by villagers and were busy answering various questions, so they had no time to check the barrage.
I have to say, after being surrounded by these uncles and aunts, I was completely caught in a vortex of questions and answers.
After hearing that they were big internet celebrities, curious questions came one after another, and it was hard to keep up. These questions were obviously very irritating, but facing these community-loving and kind old people, the two of them seemed to be trapped in a vortex, unable to escape, and could only answer the questions one by one.
Even when they asked questions to the village chief, the topic would be diverted until someone kept delivering food into the meeting room and the aroma of food wafted out, and they finally found an opportunity to ask questions.
"Ah, the village chief and a big boss are talking about the investment and construction of the village."
Perhaps it was their previous attitude of telling everything they knew that touched the villagers, and they reciprocated by sharing some inside information.
"What big boss? Are you talking about selling cotton?" The couple became alert.
They are now more sensitive to the word "big boss". After all, there is such a big boss among the guests. If it is really Lu Sinian, then their efforts will not be in vain.
"It's the big boss who came with you. But he probably doesn't think highly of a small business like cotton. A meeting of all the village cadres must be a bigger event..."
The old man started to explain, but Xu Shiqing could no longer hear what he said afterwards. Her mind was filled with the thought "It's all over".
It turned out to be Lu Sinian. Their cotton business was taken over by someone else!
"We have something else to do, so we'll leave first."
The two of them stood up and left. This time, even if the uncles and aunts tried to persuade them to stay, they would not stay. Their backs showed a very determined look.
With Lu Sinian intervening, they naturally had no room to compete.
It is simply impossible to compete with Mr. Lu for business.
If they were in the serious business world, they would not be qualified to be in the same project as Lu Sinian. Now they are barely on the same starting line in selling cotton. The couple also knows that the gap between them and him is like an insurmountable chasm. If they continue to compete at this time, they will only bring shame upon themselves.
Ren Lu had just finished her meal and was sitting in a chair digesting her food when she saw the couple walking towards her one after the other.
Both of them had stern faces and looked unhappy. They were just barely maintaining their expressions and not getting angry. But in fact, their depressed mood could not be concealed at all.
No one would be in a good mood if they were left outside and waited for two hours in vain.
What's more, this kind of thing can be avoided. If the program team or the village officials come to notify them, they won't be so stupid.
But no one informed him, leaving the two of them sitting outside like fools. Even when he was stopping the young official and making big promises, it must have been even funnier in the eyes of the audience. It was simply nonsense. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, ashamed and embarrassed.
"Have you eaten? We exchanged lunch boxes for you with the program crew." Zhou Shanshan took out the untouched lunch box.
Xu Shiqing forced a smile and waved her hand to refuse: "Thank you all for thinking of us, but the weather is too hot. Hongyu and I don't have much appetite. You guys eat."
Zhou Shanshan did not try to persuade them anymore. Everyone could see that they were not in a good mood, and there was no need to make themselves unhappy at this time.
After everyone has had enough rest, they are all ready to go to the fields.
They don't have Mr. Lu's business acumen, nor do they want to achieve results like Xu Shiqing and others. After all, this is just a couple variety show, not a commercial variety show. It's enough to have a good show effect, there is no need to work so hard.
Before leaving, seeing Xu Shiqing and her husband still in a low mood, Chen Wan couldn't help but persuade them: "Shiqing, Xiao Peng, come with us to pick cotton. It's very interesting. There are many college students there who are experiencing life. You can even exchange some cotton for your performances. There must be many of them who are your fans."
"Yes, this kind of business model should be left to Mr. Lu." When Zhai Jin saw his wife speak, he immediately joined the army of persuasion.
"No, Sister Wan, Brother Zhai, we are not from the entertainment industry and are not very good at performing. Let's think of other ways. You guys go, but don't work too hard and be sure to wear sunscreen." Xu Shiqing replied immediately. Her tone sounded very polite, but the meaning of her words was still an obvious rejection.
Chen Wan and the other person stopped trying to persuade them and just nodded and said goodbye.
"Young people are still full of energy." Zhai Jin said quietly.
"You were very hardworking when you were young," Chen Wan replied.
The two looked at each other, obviously thinking of the old things, and couldn't help laughing.
"That's right. It's good to be aggressive, as long as you can bear the consequences."
The couple's chat was brief but the comments were lively. After all, these two have been in the entertainment industry for a while and their words can't be taken at face value.
Xu Shiqing and her husband came to participate in this variety show just to become famous. If they were like the couples Chen Wan and Zhou Shanshan, just getting by and not coming up with anything new, then they would just be there to serve as a foil.
Besides, if all four couples went to the fields to pick cotton, it would be fine for them to give up, but now Lu Sinian and his family have soared to fame, and they were stopped outside the door and treated as a joke before, so they both had to save face no matter what.
They not only have to create a good show effect, but also make it amazing.
After discussing it, the two men still did not give up on selling goods. Since they could not cooperate with the villagers, they personally organized the villagers who were willing to sell cotton. Although the efficiency was a little lower, there would definitely be people who were willing to sell cotton. It was better than picking cotton in the fields.
The plan was set, but when it came to actually making contact, it was very cumbersome.
Normally, there are other staff members to help with selling goods, but now I have to take care of all the steps myself, including communication, statistics, cost calculation, etc.
"Girl, it's not that I don't want to sell it to you, but it's difficult. The roads in our village are narrow and the delivery cost is high. Your cost is too high and your price has no advantage at all. The audience is not a sucker."
When someone knowledgeable about the matter heard about the plan, he immediately stepped in to stop it.
The Internet is so developed now, they have thought about it, but the road in the village is flat, but the lane is not wide, making it inconvenient for large vehicles to enter and exit.
Cotton is not a new thing and can be bought everywhere. If the price is too high, even fans may not be willing to buy it. After all, this thing has no fan value. If you want to make some peripheral products, it is acceptable to sell it at a premium.
"Don't worry, we will send a car to pick up the items at your door. We will definitely not cause any trouble to you." Peng Hongyu promised.
In fact, he was also upset at the moment.
Who would be willing to go through so much trouble for such a small piece of cotton?
The program crew is simply insane. He feels that what they are doing now is completely unworthy, but the arrow has been shot and there is no turning back. There is no room for compromise and they must go ahead with it, otherwise it will feel like they have admitted defeat.
This sale today had to be done, even if he had to pay for it out of his own pocket, otherwise he would be laughed at to death.
The shop owner who was talking to him stopped trying to dissuade him when he heard this, but his eyes were still full of disbelief.
In front of the camera, Peng Hongyu did not step forward to argue, but just gritted his teeth and endured it, but in fact he was already cursing in his heart.
Why are you asking so many questions? Just do what you are told. It's a business of giving away money and you still have to talk so much nonsense.
Finally, after communicating with all parties and wasting nearly an hour, their shared yellow bikes were finally put up and ready to sell goods.
Xu Shiqing stood in front of the camera and felt dry mouth before she even started to speak the sales pitch.
The preliminary work is both complicated and trivial, and these uncles and aunts have a lot of questions. Even if you explain something eight hundred times, there are still people asking questions. After asking, they may not even give you cotton. They are just here to make trouble.
"Hello everyone, we are Hongqing Lvyi. I'm sure you have seen the cotton piled up behind us. These are freshly picked from the fields, soft and white, with no dead petals..."
The two made a brief self-introduction and then began to strongly recommend cotton, grabbing a handful so that the audience could see it clearly.
"As for the transportation problem you were worried about before, it has also been solved. I have contacted the truck team and they are on their way. They will arrive in more than an hour. After you take the photos, we will pack them here and load them onto the trucks for delivery..."
It has to be said that their tacit understanding as a couple bloggers was fully demonstrated at the time.
Whether introducing products or talking about transportation methods, the two complement each other and work in perfect harmony.
As the two were talking, they heard a few car horns.
"Hey, the truck is coming!" a villager shouted loudly, and many people went to watch the fun.
"So fast!" Xu Shiqing and the other person looked at each other and saw a bit of surprise and joy in each other's eyes.
The truck arrived, and I felt more confident.
Among the audience who watched the entire live broadcast, not many placed orders to buy cotton. After all, everyone saw that everything was not going well for the two of them, and they didn't trust them very much. They always felt that they were a makeshift team, so the sales were very low.
But now that the trucks have arrived, transportation is no problem.
"There was a lot of mud and sand in the car."
"What is this for?"
But soon, the feedback from the villagers shattered their joy.
The truck they had booked was for loading cotton, and apart from some sacks, it should have been mostly empty. But now it was full of mud and sand, and it was clearly not their truck.
"Fellow villagers, Mr. Lu is going to provide us with a one-stop service of building roads, houses and farmhouses. The preliminary work is already in preparation. This is the first wave of mud and sand to be used for road construction. Everyone must cooperate, pay attention to your own safety, and stay away from the construction team..."
At this time, the village cadres also arrived, holding a loudspeaker and loudly announcing the good news.
All the villagers who were watching the fun cheered immediately. Everyone knew that if they wanted to get rich, they had to build roads first.
And now their village’s future plans include not only building roads, but also building houses and establishing farmhouses. This is a large-scale construction, and it is obvious that it is intended to revitalize the entire village.
"Okay, here comes the God of Wealth!"
"Which one is Mr. Lu?"
"He's the guy who went to the cotton field and quit after picking a few petals. You said he was dressed so seriously, but I didn't expect he was a coward who couldn't do anything."
"What a coward, bah, bah, bah, this is clearly a golden egg!"
The villagers gathered in groups of three or five, discussing enthusiastically, their words full of joy. Those who had secretly laughed at Mr. Lu before also changed their attitude and praised him to the sky.
Xu Shiqing, who had been busy until now and felt that she finally saw hope, was shocked when she heard the news.
She was so angry that her heart was beating and her body felt extremely uncomfortable. All the disadvantages of not having lunch came to her mind. She was hit hard both physically and mentally and finally couldn't hold on any longer. Her eyes went dark and she passed out.
Ren Lu picked up her cell phone and rushed over to watch the fun. She happened to see this scene and was stunned.
"Ah, what's wrong with Shiqing? Are you fainting from hunger?"
Of course no one answered her. Xu Shiqing was surrounded by staff at the moment, so she didn't go up to check so as not to cause trouble.
"You ran so fast, it looks like you had a good lunch."
Her shoulder was patted and a deep male voice sounded behind her.
Ren Lu turned around and saw Lu Sinian's handsome face. At this moment, his suit jacket had been taken off, and his tie was nowhere to be found. He was only wearing a shirt with his sleeves rolled up, revealing his strong arms.
"After such a long meeting, you still look radiant. Mr. Lu's food is even better." She joked.
"Is this a compliment to me?" he asked.
Ren Lu looked at him with a smile in silence. The man looked at her frankly. It was really difficult to read anything from his expressionless face.
"Yes, of course. Mr. Lu has worked hard all day and must be rewarded." She nodded in the affirmative.
The man raised an eyebrow and put his arm around her shoulders.
"Okay, I got angry a few times today."
His words were confusing, but Ren Lu laughed immediately.
"Director, both of us have completed our tasks."
