Nan Xian then visited the village chief, whose surname was Gu. He was a shrewd and capable middle-aged man.
He introduced Nanxian to the development history and cultural customs of Buxian Village, and took her to see their village's treasure—a big blue mule named Abao.
Abao is a mascot. Except for the beginning of the busy farming season each year when the village chief leads him for a stroll in the fields, he doesn't usually need to "work". In addition, he eats very well, and his fur is glossy and smooth.
It spends every day with humans and is very intelligent, showing great curiosity and enthusiasm towards Nan Xian, an outsider.
As the two were talking, Village Chief Gu's phone rang. After speaking with the person on the other end for a while, he hung up, looked at Nan Xian, and suddenly asked:
"Nan Xian, would you be willing to help me organize a matchmaking event?"
Nan Xian was taken aback. A matchmaking event?
She had never participated in blind dates in her previous life and knew very little about this, so she instinctively wanted to refuse.
"I won't—"
She had barely begun to speak when Village Chief Gu continued, "There are rewards. Helping with the setup is 300 yuan a day, and hosting is 800 yuan a day."
Nan Xian quickly changed the subject: "...I won't be modest. To be honest, Village Chief Gu, I served as the student council president in college. I'm very good at organizing and hosting events. You can rest assured that you can entrust this matter to me!"
It's just a rural matchmaking event, what's so difficult about it!
Let's go for it, for the sake of food money!

Nan Xian pulled Wei Zeling, who had just woken up from her afternoon nap, and the two of them took Village Chief Gu's car to the town.
This was a matchmaking event between two villages, and many people came. When they arrived, there were already many elderly people sitting there, holding their sons' and daughters' information, eagerly waiting for it to begin.
Since it wasn't their turn to set up the venue, Nan Xian became even more determined to take on the hosting role.
After receiving 800 yuan, I can pay back the 600 yuan that Wei Zeling owes me, and with what I have left and the oil He Mingxiao gave me today, I will have nearly 300 yuan left.
That should be enough for the next few days!
She told Wei Zeling about the payment, and Wei Zeling immediately said that she was willing to host the event.
Wei Zeling didn't really want to host—
This was just a matchmaking event in an ordinary small town, and the audience was mostly older than her parents. In her eyes, it was something that couldn't be taken seriously at all. She was even afraid that if her friends abroad found out, they would laugh at her to death.
But she owed that 600 yuan herself. If she let Nan Xian host the event and earn back that 600 yuan, wouldn't Wei Zeling be ridiculed to death by netizens with sharp tongues?
In order to salvage her image, Wei Zeling gritted her teeth and went all out.
However, upon seeing the host's attire, Wei Zeling immediately changed her mind—
A red cotton-padded coat that has absolutely no aesthetic appeal. Not only is the cut ugly, but the fabric is also decorated with black polka dots that were popular a few years ago. It's incredibly tacky!
A chill ran down her spine, and she immediately stepped back, shaking her head vigorously: "I don't want to wear this!"
Please, she's an international supermodel, how can you dress her in such ugly and cheap clothes!
The woman delivering the clothes was taken aback, her face turning embarrassed: "This is new, nobody's ever worn it... Everyone in our village wears it like this, it's for the festive season..."
She still shook her head, refusing to budge an inch: "I'd rather go on stage naked than wear something like this!"
Nan Xian, who was listening to the conversation, frowned deeply.
She took the garish, oversized cotton-padded coat, her gaze falling on the two incredibly eye-catching mesh bows on the coat's pocket, and her eyes twitched violently.
Indeed... it's not good-looking.
She sighed helplessly.
"I'll do it."
