At one o'clock in the afternoon, Su Qi brought her suitcase and arrived at the school gate with Ji Fang.
"Didn't you say someone was coming to pick you up? Where is that person?" Ji Fang looked around.
There is a small square in front of the gate of BJ Film Academy, with parking spaces on both sides. Outsiders cannot drive into the school without permission, and can only park in the parking spaces. At this moment, there are two or three cars parked in the small square, and there are no drivers inside. It doesn't look like they are here to pick up people, but a silver Lexus is arrogantly parked in front of the gate, attracting frequent sidelong glances from students entering and leaving the school.
"Who are you? The car is parked in a very inappropriate place." Ji Fang curled her lips and said with disgust.
There are many students from their college who go out to film movies. They are very famous and prestigious, but only a handful of them can afford a Lexus.
"Did Jiang Aili return to school today?" Ji Fang asked Su Qi.
Jiang Ai Li is a senior in the third grade. When she was a sophomore, she was selected by the famous director Zhang Mouli, starred in a movie, and won the Best Newcomer Award. Since then, her stardom has been limitless, and she has become a popular young actress, with tens of millions of fans on Weibo and numerous film endorsements. With her net worth, it is more than enough for her to drive a Lexus worth tens of millions of yuan. However, if Ji Fang remembers correctly, the car that was seen picking up Jiang Ai Li last time was a Cadillac worth more than one million yuan, right?
Su Qi shook her head: "Probably not. If she had returned to school, the school gate would have been crowded with fans."
Ji Fang said: "That's true."
Su Qi took out her cell phone from her small bag. "I'll call and ask."
At 10 a.m., she received a call from a man named Zhan, who said he was entrusted by his brother to take her to H City. They agreed to meet at the school gate at 1 p.m., but now it was 1:05 and she hadn't seen a single person.
The call was just made and it beeped twice before being hung up. Su Qi was stunned, thinking that she had dialed the wrong number.
"What's wrong?" Ji Fang asked.
"I don't know..." Su Qi frowned and was about to call again when a deep male voice sounded from the front.
"Hello, are you Miss Su?"
Su Qi and Ji Fang looked up at the same time, looking in surprise at the handsome young man who had appeared in front of them at some point.
"——Hello." Su Qi calmed down and said politely, "I am Su Qi."
"I'm Zhan Yang." The young man said politely, "Please follow me, Miss Su."
Su Qi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard his last name was Zhan. He pulled his suitcase and said to Ji Fang, "You go back. I'm leaving."
Ji Fang glanced at Zhan Yang twice more and reminded Su Qi: "Be careful on the road, and call me when you arrive."
"Yeah." Su Qi waved and followed Zhan Yang.
then--
Zhan Yang opened the door of the Lexus like an elegant butler in a comic book and respectfully invited Su Qi to get in.
Ji Fang, who had not walked far, saw this scene and could not help but shout "Damn it". Just now she was wondering who parked the car across the school gate, but now her face was swollen.
What kind of friends does Su Qi's brother have? Not only are they handsome, but they also drive such an expensive luxury car?
After watching the car leave, Ji Fang returned to the school gate with a look of emotion. When passing by a group of girls, she heard their conversation.
"I told you so. Nowadays, there are many girls who degenerate into mistresses."
"That guy just now is a freshman, right? He's already been praised before he even debuted?"
"What do you mean by being supported? Isn't it just being kept by someone? Haha——"
"She is very beautiful and has a very clean temperament."
"You don't understand. The prettier the girl, the more unrestrained she is. She relies on her pretty face to flirt with several men and have a lot of fun."
Ji Fang became angrier and angrier as she listened. She discovered that Lan Wei was among the group, so she deliberately raised her voice and said, "It's so lucky to have a brother. He can get NT$5 million for just taking a commercial for his sister. He's so arrogant!"
Five million?
There were several gasps all around.
Glancing at Lan Wei whose eyes were about to bleed from jealousy, Ji Fang lifted her long hair and hummed a little tune as she walked into the school gate.
Su Qi and Zhan Yang rushed to H City, where Su Ling was busy live-streaming his fish sales.
He built a shed beside the field, which contained a table, a stove, a wok, and more than 20 buckets, each filled with rice fish. Li Dahai and two young people who knew computers were in charge of the online store. They watched the orders increase from 100 to 1,000, and they were calm. They acted as customer service in an orderly manner, printing orders and answering customers' questions.
Fifteen or sixteen villagers packed the rice fish expertly. They rinsed the fish, put them into a foam box, put in ice packs, wrapped them tightly with tape, attached express delivery labels, loaded them onto electric vehicles, and sent them to the village express delivery station in batches.
With the experience of live-streaming selling vegetables, the villagers were very familiar with selling fish this time. They were all very happy when they thought that the rice fish from their own fields would not be unsalable.
Mr. Su is truly the lucky star of Shixi Village!
Since he came, the village has become more and more lively, and everyone's pockets have become fatter and fatter. In the past, they could not even imagine that they could make a lot of money by growing vegetables and raising fish. Now seeing the sales power of the Internet, the villagers have to sigh that times are changing too fast!
"There are many ways to cook rice fish. It can be fried, deep-fried, stewed, boiled, or dried." Su Ling introduced the middle-aged woman next to him to the camera, "This is Aunt Zhang, she is good at cooking. Now let her show you how to cook rice fish."
Aunt Zhang was all smiles, her eyes narrowed into a line, and she was not nervous at all. She didn't know anything about live streaming, she only knew that the little bee was a camera, but she didn't know that at this moment she was being stared at by more than 300,000 netizens at the same time.
She caught a fish from the bucket and hit its head cleanly with the back of a knife. The lively rice fish fainted instantly and lay straight on the chopping board, having been gutted.
"So you have to knock on the head before killing a live fish?" Su Ling asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's easier to kill the fish when it's dizzy." Aunt Zhang said as a matter of course.
Su Ling touched his nose. "I used to chop the fish head directly with a kitchen knife."
The fish's head had been chopped off, but its body was still bouncing on the chopping block, blood splattering everywhere. The scene was extremely horrifying.
[Hahaha, I can imagine how brutal the little brother looked when he killed the fish, because I do the same thing! ( ﹁ ﹁ ) ~→]
[I hate killing live fish the most, but my husband loves to eat them, so I feel a little bit reluctant every time I kill live fish.]
[I like to eat braised crucian carp. I wonder if rice fish and crucian carp have the same taste? ]
[Take out a small notebook to record... Wow, this lady is so good at killing fish. She killed four fish in less than five minutes! (⊙⊙)]
【Why are you just standing there? Place your order! 】
[Why am I focusing on the jealous king? Hehe, I want to see the jealous king catching fish.]
When Su Ling saw this comment, he couldn't help but turn to look at the man busy in the field.
With an expressionless face, he took the bottomless basket and plunged it into the mud with all his might. He bent down and groped around, and found a fat fish, which he stuffed into the bamboo basket hanging around his waist.
Su Ling's eyes were gentle.
The man's movements while doing farm work were a little clumsy. His clothes and trousers were covered in mud and looked a bit dishevelled, which was completely different from his usual serious and elegant appearance. However, he was still handsome. His T-shirt was soaked with sweat and stuck to his body, perfectly outlining his muscular curves, which made people's hearts skip a beat.
It’s so sexy, isn’t it!
As if sensing something, Lu Feng suddenly raised his head and met Su Ling's fiery gaze. His dark eyes became a little deeper. He picked up the basket, stepped on the mud, and walked slowly towards the roadside shed.
Su Ling withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened and watched Aunt Zhang fry the fish calmly.
【Hehe, who was the little brother looking at just now? 】
[I seem to be blushing! o(〃'▽'〃)o]
[The dog food is really good today~( ╯▽╰)]
[I have to say, the little brother and his husband are both very good-looking. They are so pleasing to the eyes when standing together. I have become their loyal CP fan! ]
[I am so happy to be their fan. They give me sweets every day. It is so sweet! It makes me want to find a boyfriend too! 】
[Hey, mention the devil and he will appear! Found the jealous king! ]
The Little Bee camera turned and captured Lu Feng. He took off the bamboo basket from his waist, lifted it up and poured it out. "Plop, plop—" more than twenty fat fish fell into the bucket.
Su Ling took out a wet towel and wiped the sweat off his face. "Thank you for your hard work."
Li Feng slightly bent down to make it easier for him to wipe. "It's not hard."
Su Ling wiped his sweat, threw the wet towel into the trash can next to him, and filled a basin with clean water and placed it on the table. "Take a break, and get back to work later."
"Yeah." Lu Feng reached his hand into the basin and cleaned the silt.
Su Ling took a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap and handed it to him. Lu Feng took it and drank it down in one gulp.
It seems that he is really thirsty. As he swallows, his Adam's apple moves up and down, and beads of sweat slide down the graceful curve of his neck to his collarbone, and then flow down from his collarbone, disappearing into the collar of his T-shirt, exuding a strong scent of masculine hormones, which is very tempting.
I don't know whether the little bee's intelligence was intentional or unintentional, but it faithfully captured this scene with a close-up technique comparable to that of a movie, which made hundreds of thousands of netizens dry their mouths.
[——Where am I? What am I doing? Who do I see? Why is my heart beating faster? ]
[I suddenly get the charm of the jealous king! Ahhhh! The little brother is so happy!!! o(*////▽////*)q]
[I'm sorry, my phantom limb suddenly got hard just now, I'm really sorry! (*/ω＼*)]
[No...are you guys being so unkind to my brother? Stop it now! Stop it now!]
[We are here to buy fish! To buy fish! To buy fish——But I still have to say, the little brother is so happy! Envy! ]
[Even through the screen, I can feel the jealousy of the king, not to mention the people present, tsk tsk tsk——]
Su Ling saw the mocking comments all over the screen, cleared his throat, and said to Little Bee seriously: "MK, please turn off unnecessary functions. Your current task is to film Aunt Zhang frying fish."
"Sorry, master, I'll turn off the special effect right away." The little honey bee responded intelligently, and the camera turned to the wok, where four cleaned rice fish were frying in oil.
Netizens: …
What are you looking at when you fry fish? We want to see the little brother and the jealous king showing off their affection! ╥﹏╥
"It's great to be young!" Director Dou took the opportunity to be lazy and squatted on the road beside the field to watch the live broadcast on his mobile phone.
"Isn't Director Dou also young?" Ruan Wenya asked.
"After I turned 35, I started to feel old. Plus, I was busy with work and often stayed up late, so wrinkles appeared." Director Dou took off his glasses to show the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes that were so faint that they were barely noticeable.
Ruan Wenya smiled awkwardly but politely. Is it really okay to discuss wrinkles in front of a woman in her forties?
Director Dou, who was a straight man, was unaware of this and handed his phone to Nguyen Van Nga, and asked cheekily, "Manager Nguyen, can you help take a picture?"
Ruan Wenya gritted her teeth lightly. "Okay..."
“Crack—”
The photo freezes.
Director Dou wore a straw hat, held a fat fish in his hand, and grinned at the camera.
I processed the photo with a filter, added a cute little icon, posted it on Weibo, added some text, and also included the URL of the live broadcast room.
[Dou Fu Nao V: My days of fishing in the countryside - Want to buy fish? Watch the live broadcast on S·K and place an order! ]
He has less than one million fans, but there are many celebrities who follow him. Stars, director friends, producers, and investors he has worked with see his Weibo posts and forward them one after another.
[Hey, dad, have you changed your career to become a farmer? You look pretty good doing it!]
[If I remember correctly, you should be shooting a commercial in Phoenix Mountain right now? Uh... no, who got arrested? Is the commercial going to fail? ]
[Is Director Dou helping the poor in the countryside? This fish is good, quite plump. ]
【I suggest you click on the link to watch the live broadcast!!!】
【Force right side! 】
After this Weibo post was forwarded by a celebrity, it became popular instantly. Netizens who watched the live broadcast on S.K. Video Network said they would form groups to place orders for fish.
Some netizens who didn't know the truth came in curiously and asked soul-searching questions.
[Who is the handsome guy who is selling fish live? Oh my god! He is so handsome, right? ]
[Are all ordinary people so good-looking now? They are no worse than celebrities! ]
[Can someone be recommended by Director Dou be an ordinary person? 】
【Eh? Isn't this my idol? Wow! Someone finally forwarded this to Weibo? Hehe, the vegetables grown by my idol are delicious, don't miss them if you pass by! Buy! Place an order without hesitation!】
[These are rice fish, right? I've had rice fish before, the meat is tender and delicious, the aroma is rich, the nutritional value is high, it's great. I won't say any more, I'm going to place an order! ]
[Wait, I feel like I saw someone I know? Maybe they look alike? I can’t imagine my senior brother, who is as gentle as the breeze and the moon, working in the fields!]
[The host is called Lingyun? Is it this @Lingyun? ]
Someone @ed Su Ling's Weibo account, and soon, the Sherlock Holmes-like netizens found clues and connected the two parties.
We are both from Phoenix Mountain, both are called Ling Yun, and both know Director Dou, so if we are not the same person, what are we?
Resourceful netizens dug out a video of Su Ling selling vegetables, and compared the before and after videos. They watched him transform from an elegant gentleman in a suit to an unkempt "farmer brother" wearing a straw hat, and they all talked about it with relish.
#Why did the former master of traditional Chinese painting go to the countryside to work on agriculture now? #
This topic quickly became popular and reached the top of the trending searches in just half an hour.
Director Dou never imagined that he would become famous just by posting a selfie and attracting traffic!
I can only say that the ancients were right about relying on your looks to make a living!
In this topic, besides some netizens who are just watching the excitement, there are also some haters who are jumping around.
These haters are Lin Yun’s die-hard fans.
From the revelation of his drug abuse in his youth to his current positive urine test, Lin Yun is basically socially dead. Any rational fan with a positive outlook on life will stop being his fan without hesitation.
Aren’t great and positive stars attractive?
Why would you follow a lowly person who is a long-term drug addict?
An announcement from Lin Yun Agency cruelly ended his career.
Under such circumstances, a small group of so-called true fans went around making trouble and even pointed the finger at Su Ling.
Because Su Ling's Weibo revealed that he was the owner of Phoenix Tea Mountain, Lin Yun was supposed to shoot a commercial for his tea mountain, but a drug abuse incident occurred. The Tea Merchants Association and the owner of the tea mountain actually drew a clear line between them at the first opportunity, and his true fans hated him because of this.
If their brother had not taken the Dashan advertisement, his dark history would not have been exposed and he would still be a clean traffic star with a bright future!
He was the one who ruined their brother!
With a twisted mentality, the haters posted disgusting words in the topic.
[What a master of Chinese painting, he is nothing but a liar seeking fame! ]
[A peasant pretending to be a rich and handsome man? ]
[Did she have plastic surgery? The double eyelids are too obvious! ]
[She looks so coquettish, maybe she is a male mistress. ]
[Ling Yun? It sounds the same as my brother's name! This is so disgusting, change your name immediately! ]
…
When the haters were excited and started to make malicious comments, they suddenly found that they were "blocked"! Not only were their Weibo posts deleted, but even their accounts were reported and blocked!
There was a marketing giant who was eager to create chaos in the world. In order to attract fans, he deliberately retweeted a hater’s Weibo post. Five minutes later, he was also “blocked”.
The man changed his trumpet to make accusations in the topic, and soon even the trumpet disappeared.
Therefore, some people who wanted to take advantage of the popularity withdrew their tentative feet and remained quiet as chickens.
Su Ling was busy selling fish live on Weibo and didn’t pay much attention to the excitement on Weibo. He was just a little confused when the number of viewers in his live broadcast room suddenly surged to two or three million.
Director Dou didn't dare to go over and tell him that he had posted a selfie, which not only exposed his identity but also made him a hot topic. He pushed up his glasses, put his phone in his pocket, picked up the bottomless basket, and continued to catch fish as if nothing had happened.
Nguyen Van Nga, who watched the whole process, said: …
Should she remind Mr. Su?
She looked over at the roadside shed and saw that it was busy, so she gave up the idea. She should just catch more fish!
Li Dahai was really frightened when he saw the surge in orders to his online store.
Ten thousand plus orders, is that too much?
"Brother Su..." he called softly.
After Aunt Zhang finished making a plate of pan-fried rice fish, she continued to make sweet and sour rice fish. Su Ling was watching and interacting with netizens. When he heard Li Dahai's call, he greeted the netizens, asked the little bee to continue filming Aunt Zhang, and walked to Li Dahai's side.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Li Dahai pointed at the sales volume of the online store, sweating profusely. "The orders suddenly increased to 10,000, and we are overwhelmed."
Su Ling touched his smooth chin.
The rice fish from all the paddy fields in the village can handle about 100,000 orders. At the current growth rate, if there is no restriction, I am afraid that the supply will not be able to meet the demand.
"Take it off the shelves temporarily." Su Ling said decisively.
Li Dahai breathed a sigh of relief and took action immediately.
Su Ling returned to the camera and said to Little Bee, "I want to apologize to everyone. Due to too many orders, today's sales have come to an end. After the first batch of orders are processed, it will be put back on the shelves. Thank you for your support!"
[Ah? What's going on? I'm placing an order, why are they not selling it anymore? 55555——]
[When will it be available next time? Buying a fish for the first time is as nervous as buying lipstick! (⊙⊙)]
[You can only look but not eat, it's so delicious, oh, the pan-fried rice fish made by Aunt Zhang is so tempting! (≧≦)]
[I can’t stand it anymore! I’m going to drive to Phoenix Mountain to buy it now! ]
[Oh yeah! Why didn’t I think of that? Our home is only half an hour’s drive from Phoenix Mountain, it’s very close~]
An hour later, private cars, electric cars, motorcycles, and bicycles appeared in Shixi Village. Dozens of people came from far away just to buy rice fish.
When they saw Su Ling, their hearts were filled with emotion; when they saw her up close in person, they thought she was even more beautiful than in the live broadcast!
A girl took a notebook and shyly asked Su Ling for her autograph, but Su Ling politely declined.
He is not a star, so he is not interested in fan circles.
The girl looked disappointed, gave up the idea, and went to the queue of villagers who were selling their wares with a pout.
Ru Feng stood silently beside Su Ling like a bodyguard, exuding a cold and stern aura, which kept those netizens who wanted to get close to him at a distance.
Netizens who were watching the live broadcast saw this and had heated discussions.
[Isn't it a good idea to buy fish on site? I feel like I'll disturb the little brother. 】
[That's right, that's right! Isn't it better to keep your distance? You even want an autograph, it's not like you're a fan! ]
[Don’t bring your fan circle style over here, little brother is different! ]
Su Ling saw the comments on the barrage and smiled gently, "Thank you for your love and support, but I hope everyone can focus on Phoenix Mountain. There are homestays, farmhouses, green agricultural products, refreshing rain and dew tea, and beautiful scenery. Everyone is welcome to travel."
This is the best advertisement. Phoenix Mountain has become famous. At the same time, some netizens dug up recent news that the Liuxian River Corridor invested by the Lai Group includes Phoenix Mountain.
With the name of the Lai Group, the topic #Phoenix Mountain# slowly climbed up the hot search list.
As usual, the fishmongers in the town drove their three-wheeled electric vehicles to Shixi Village to buy rice fish. Before reaching the village entrance, they were surprised to see the busy scene in the fields. Many villagers were smiling and catching fish diligently with baskets. There was a row of cars parked on the roadside, and a group of people lined up in front of a shed.
"What's going on? What is this?"
"I don't know? Could it be that fishmongers from other towns came to buy them?"
"They don't look like that. These are private cars and those people don't look like fishmongers."
"What's going on in Shixi Village this year? Not only did the price of vegetables increase a while ago, they were also sold out. Now even rice fish is selling so well?"
"Hurry up and take a look. It might be too late and you won't be able to buy any fish!"
A group of people hurried over and saw a familiar-looking villager, so they stopped him and asked him about his whereabouts.
"Oh, you guys go line up over there to buy fish." The villager pointed and said naively.
"Well...we want to buy in bulk, not in small quantities," said a fishmonger in blue.
The villager scratched his head and said, "Wholesale? You have to talk to Mr. Su about this. Now all the agricultural products in the village are sold by Mr. Su."
The fishmongers were stunned. Mr. Su? Who? Mr. Su?
But didn’t Mr. Su pass away? Is there another person with the surname Su in Shixi Village? I haven’t heard of him!
Full of doubts, the fishmongers walked to the roadside shed and saw two handsome and distinguished young men.
Who are they? I haven't seen them before. Are they from the village?
Su Ling noticed the fishmongers and asked with a smile, "Hello, are you here to buy fish as well?"
"Uh, yes... yes, we are here to buy fish." The fishmonger in blue had never seen such a beautiful person, and his face turned red and he stuttered a little.
Su Ling maintained an elegant smile and said, "If you want to buy fish, please line up over there."
"...We're not...not buying just one or two..." The blue-clad fishmonger was getting more and more anxious and speechless. The middle-aged man standing behind him couldn't help but interrupt him, "Are you Mr. Su? We are fishmongers from the Xianliu Town Vegetable Market. We want to buy fish in bulk. Can we cut in line?"
"Fishmonger?" Su Ling suddenly realized, "No problem."
He almost forgot that the rice fish from Shixi Village used to be sold to fishmongers in the town. However, the price was often suppressed and the fish could not be sold for much money. Not only did the villagers lose money, but the fish were also unsalable.
With a smile on his face, he asked, "How many fish do you want?"
The fishmongers reported their purchase quantities, and when they heard Su Ling's offer, they exclaimed in surprise.
"Fifteen yuan a pound? Are you kidding, Mr. Su? Fish used to be five yuan a pound, and you're selling it for fifteen yuan? Aren't you cheating us?"
The price went up by ten dollars all of a sudden. It's such a rip-off!
Su Ling said calmly, "This year, our village's agricultural products are sold directly through the Internet. Today, we received more than 10,000 orders. The rice fish at 20 yuan per catty is selling very well. You are old customers, so I will try to even out the price. 15 yuan per catty is already a good deal."
Fishmongers: …
Network direct selling?
Ten thousand orders?
Even out some fish?
A special price of fifteen yuan?
Is the world changing too fast, or are they unable to keep up?
So magical!
The author has something to say: Well, sorry for being late~~ I'm posting yesterday's and today's together~
