Chapter 141 Victory Celebration Banquet!
The director and assistant director looked at each other in bewilderment.
"And here's the problem," the assistant director said, shrugging.
"Please wait a moment, both of you. I'll talk to the village chief and see if we can transfer some more inventory from other groups or add some more inventory."
After hanging up the phone, the director went out of the room to talk to the village chief about whether they could add more fruit.
The old village chief sat in his courtyard, his gaze fixed on the back mountain. He was worried that the fruit wouldn't sell and that the villagers would be disappointed.
Upon hearing the director's request, the old village chief excitedly stepped forward and grasped the director's hand: "They're all sold out? You're not lying to me, are you?"
The old village chief's voice trembled, his face filled with disbelief. How long had it been?
"Of course, you have to trust us. Besides, we might not even have enough to sell right now," the director said with a smile, helping the old village chief in front of him.
"We still have plenty of fruit, but we might not be able to send it out in the next two days. Can we send it out the day after tomorrow?" the old village chief said worriedly after calming down.
"Okay, let's give it a try." The director nodded understandingly, since the fruit was all freshly picked and shipped.
The director briefly explained the situation to the staff in charge of Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan's group, as well as Gu Yunlan and Qin Huai's group.
When Xu Wang received the news, he was eating a lychee that Pei Yanchuan had just peeled. Pei Yanchuan gently squeezed the lychee in his hand, and a crack appeared in the vermilion shell, revealing the very plump and crystal-clear flesh inside.
Pei Yanchuan peeled the lychee flesh whole and handed it to Xu Wang's mouth.
Xu Wang put the fruit he was eating into his mouth, and instantly his left cheek bulged out.
Pei Yanchuan looked at Xu Wang's puffed-up cheeks, quickly peeled another lychee, and handed it to him.
Xu Wang, of course, accepted the offer without hesitation, and took another big gulp, his cheeks puffing out.
Pei Yanchuan chuckled as he looked at Xu Wang's adorable appearance.
"Hmm?" Xu Wang turned his head in confusion, his mouth filled with the sweet taste of lychee.
[Ahhh! This is so cute!]
[Those cheeks are so round and chubby, I really want to poke them.]
[President Pei must be itching to get his hands on it right now.]
[Screenshots, screenshots, screenshots galore!]
[President Pei definitely did it on purpose; he peeled the second lychee incredibly fast.]
[Another day of being charmed by my wife's cuteness. Mr. Pei, draw your sword!]
[What should I do? I feel full but not quite full (this is tricky)]
[Wife, please get in the car! (ps: I don't care, I need at least one of the lychee and my wife.)]
[Even Gu Yingdi's place sold out completely; when I went there, there wasn't a single pound left (bitter smile).]
[Director, director, we're calling for you! We need you!]
Xu Wang also saw the scrolling screen in the live broadcast room at this moment. He tilted his head slightly and glared at Pei Yanchuan. This guy must have signed up for a crash course somewhere. He's really getting better and better.
Pei Yanchuan felt even better after being glared at by his wife.
"We still have fruit available, but those who place orders later may need to wait two days for our products to be shipped. If you can accept that, you can place your order now," Xu Wang said with a smile as he looked at the camera.
The staff cooperated and connected the link.
This time, a larger stock was released, but it was gone in just a few minutes.
[I'm so happy I snagged an order of lychees! The price is incredibly cheap! I wouldn't even dare dream of such a deal in my shop.]
[Yes, we successfully acquired a box of mangoes.]
[Am I the only one with such bad luck? Am I just going to be a runner-up today? I don't believe it!!!]
[Upstairs, you're not alone (wiping away tears sadly).]
[I'm really done for. My hands are practically cramping from the start of the live stream until now, and I haven't managed to snag a single item! Were you guys using massage guns to grab them?]
[Haha, I managed to snag an order for every type of fruit!]
I managed to buy my favorite lychees and pomegranates.
[Ugh, I'm so frustrated! I need to replace this crappy net!]
On the other side, Zhong Ran and Leng Yifan...
The two stood in front of the camera. Zhong Ran hadn't slept all night, and faint dark circles had appeared under his eyes. He looked at the odd number of clicks on his phone and nodded in satisfaction. This time, he should be able to win first place.
Just as he was full of confidence, a member of the program crew suddenly appeared next to him.
"Teacher Xu and Teacher Gu's orders are all sold out. How are your sales? If there are any left, could you share some with them? I've already asked the other groups, and they're almost sold out."
Zhong Ran's smile froze on her face.
The staff member in charge of Zhong Ran's group glanced at the back-end inventory. Because Zhong Ran and Leng Yifan's explanation was rather dry, there was still nearly half left in the inventory.
This livestream to support farmers lasted for nearly three and a half hours before it ended.
The villagers continued carrying fruit, this time with smiles on their faces.
"Thank you so much." The old village chief, leaning on his cane, shook hands with Xu Wang and the others.
"You're too kind," Xu Wang quickly helped the other person up.
After the livestream to support farmers ended, the director gave the guests a special afternoon break.
By the time the production team restarted the live broadcast, it was already 7 p.m.
"Welcome viewers to the live broadcast room. Because this morning's live broadcast to help farmers was a complete success, the production team will be hosting a celebration banquet for all the teachers tonight, which is also a celebration banquet for all the viewers in front of the screen. Let's all come and watch the performance." The assistant director waved his hand and the camera turned to the courtyard.
At this moment, a large area of the courtyard was cleared out, and a simple wooden stage was set up on the stage. Bright lights surrounded the stage, and the production team had specially prepared a variety of food and drinks for the guests below the stage.
Xu Wang looked at the tiramisu in his hand with a suspicious expression: "Director, you're not going to ask us for money after we finish eating, are you?"
“At that point, he won’t just want the price of a tiramisu, he’ll want at least 10 yuan.” Gu Yunlan had a knowing look on her face.
"So is this our victory celebration or the director's reaping party?" Jiang Xiubai added insult to injury.
Hearing their conversation, the director blushed deeply and turned away irritably, saying, "It's free, it's all free, okay?"
