This night was the nightmare of all the bald programmers on the Qinggua Live platform.

The previous frantic reinforcement and upgrade of the system has indeed ensured the basic stability of the server when millions of viewers are online at the same time.

But they never expected that there would be an operation that crashed the platform due to "rewarding too quickly"... How much reward is this? !

The live broadcast was forced to stop, programmers were called to work overtime, and the program team could only interact with fans in real time through the official Weibo.

Shen Ci got down from the stool with a confused look on his face. The artists around him looked at him in silence and awe, and took several steps back.

Shen Ci gritted his teeth and said, "It's because the platform is too crispy."

Everyone shook their heads. Wei Shuo said, "No, it's because of money ability."

Shen Ci: “…”

#美宿直播Cucumber爆了[笑泣]# has become a hot search, and the crowd of spectators who had not entered the live broadcast room to watch before are beating their chests and shaking their feet. They can only look at the screenshots and eyewitness descriptions with great regret, but it still doesn't have the authentic flavor.

"I was stuck and pushed back several times. I couldn't get in no matter how hard I squeezed. When I finally got in, the link was disconnected..."

"This cucumber is not ripe, it deserves to be smashed with the reward money! [狗头][狗头]"

"I've never seen anything like this before... Does anyone think that a certain male celebrity named S is simply a bug in the industry? His fans are too scary..."

“…”

The publicity ladies from the program team were busy replying to private messages from fans of the variety show, and soon the person in charge of the Cucumber platform also called.

"How much?! Six million!" The director's voice suddenly rose, and he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

There was a sudden silence on the set, and all shocked eyes were cast on the director.

The director was in a daze for more than ten seconds before he reluctantly resumed the call: "Ah... after splitting it equally it's three million, right? Um... OK, OK."

He exchanged a few perfunctory pleasantries and hung up the phone.

The director turned around and rushed to Shen Ci, his eyes emitting a strange light like a grass carp: "God of Wealth - no, Xiao Shen! Do you know how much reward you earned in just ten minutes?"

Shen Ci said uncertainly: "...Six million?"

The director nodded excitedly. Shen Ci was truly the most money-making artist he had ever seen. "This is extra income, but it also counts as your sales tonight! After splitting it with Cucumber, we decided to give you all three million directly, because it's basically a reward for you!"

Shen Ci was stunned: "Ah..."

Jiang Shu, who was listening on the side, frowned.

When the live broadcast crashed, she was very close. She originally wanted to appreciate Shen Ci's embarrassment, but ended up seeing a spectacle she hadn't seen in her entire life.

This made her doubt her life. How could this pretty face have so many rich and loyal fans? Could it be that Yunxiao spent money to hire a group of people to direct and act in this film?

Moreover, the artists who live-streamed before her also received a lot of rewards. She alone received at least 20,000 or 30,000.

In the end, they were all given to Shen Ci casually, and they couldn't get anything? Why?

Jiang Shu was about to explode with rage, but he pretended to be very angry and didn't show it at all.

Shen Ci frowned and ruffled his hair: "I think... it's not necessary. We don't do live broadcasts to earn rewards, we just want to advertise and help the villagers sell goods."

"Besides, everyone gets rewards when they live stream. It's the joint income that the program team gets through live streaming. How can they give it to just me?"

"This happens to be a poor village. I think we can just donate it there. What do you think?"

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

Putting aside the fact that he gave up three million so casually, Shen Ci's words really made people feel relieved.

In fact, apart from Jiang Shu, other artists also felt a little bit resentful.

It's not that I'm greedy for the reward money. After all, the fact is that most of it was given by Shen Ci's fans.

Before Shen Ci started promoting the product, everyone was promoting it based on their own abilities. Although the performance varied, everyone was convinced and felt relieved.

But Shen Ci suddenly did this with the help of his fans' energy - it's like when everyone is trying so hard to get high scores in the college entrance examination, but suddenly there is a leisurely student who gets 30 extra points because of some policy and directly gets the top score.

Anyway, I feel very unhappy.

But we are all in the same circle, there is no need to quarrel over such a small matter, just keep it in your heart and digest it yourself.

I didn't expect Shen Ci would choose to say this, throwing all the fame and fortune to others... I don't know if he is really stupid or his EQ is really too high.

Shao Jinhuan believed the first one unconditionally. He touched Shen Ci's hair and said softly, "This was originally a reward for you. We have no objection to how you want to deal with it."

Wei Shuo immediately grabbed Shen Ci's shoulders and quietly pulled him out of Shao Jinhuan's control, keeping alert at all times.

Shen Ci smiled sheepishly: "You guys are really good at bringing goods... Next time, please go easy on me and leave me more stuff to sell, so I don't have to rely on fans' rewards to cover up the embarrassment."

Just a casual remark, praising everyone and suppressing yourself, everyone is willing to hear such compliments.

The artists laughed and teased Shen Ci for a while, and all agreed to donate 3 million to the village to support construction.

But Jiang Shu finally couldn't help it and turned cold and didn't say anything.

To these famous people, twenty or thirty thousand is just enough to buy a few buns and eat a few meals, but it is different for her.

Her studio is running out of money. Now there is no money behind the scenes, and there are always problems in front of the camera. It's getting worse and worse.

Among them, Shen Ci contributed a lot.

Could it be that Shen Ci was sent by God specifically to defeat her?

***

The day after the live broadcast ended, a family of three arrived at the small mountain village to stay in a B&B and pick cherries.

The participating artists were all very excited as this was their first real customer and they busied themselves arranging homestays and cleaning for the guests.

The family of three took a bus driven by a local to the small mountain village and were guided to the B&B to rest.

As soon as they entered the B&B building, they were shocked.

The artists were standing on both sides of the door, wearing perfect custom-made B&B uniforms, and they bowed enthusiastically: "Welcome guests!"

Handsome men and beautiful women stood in a row respectfully, and it looked like they had entered some unspeakable club.

The three of them were a little scared. They nodded awkwardly, walked past quickly, and checked in.

Although they overdo it at first and scared the first batch of customers, as more and more tourists came to stay at the B&B, the artists gradually found their groove.

Everyone's division of labor has long been clear. For example, Shao Jinhuan is specifically responsible for room management and customer complaints, while Shen Ci is responsible for taking customers to connect with the corresponding fruit farmers to pick cherries.

Shen Ci has a sweet tongue and good looks, and can easily get close to customers and local fruit farmers.

At the beginning, there were not many people staying in B&Bs, so Shen Ci could sit next to the cherry tree and watch or help customers pick the cherries.

Later, as more and more tourists came to visit, Shen Ci had no choice but to serve as a guide.

After many trips, Shen Ci became familiar with the fruit farmers in the village. He often received fruits as gifts from them. Sometimes they even quarreled over whose fruit Shen should take that day.

"……" Shen Ci was already tired of saying the four words "no need to".

After the live broadcast and the hype on Weibo, the rooms in the small B&B were fully booked in just two days. The program production team stated on the official Weibo that reservations must be made at least half a week in advance for future stays.

"...Ah, the real person is cuter." Several little girls followed Shen Ci chattering and took pictures of his back.

As soon as Shen Ci heard them, he knew they were his fans, and smiled, "Want to take a photo?"

The fans were flattered and nodded quickly.

The clothes Shen Ci wore were simple and plain, and there was even some dust on his face, making it look dirty.

But several girls thought such words were cute and real, and excitedly asked if they could post the photos online.

Shen Ci naturally agreed with a smile, he was a big fan.

As a result, that night, this photo was pushed and purchased by fans and became a hot search.

The only difference from usual is that there are a lot more negative comments under the hot searches.

"Can you please stop having this vase on the hot search every day? It's so annoying!"

"I'm really disgusted by this, you can't produce any works at all, so why don't you just stop showing off your face every day?"

"He just relies on his good looks. I don't know how he attracts so many fans. Did he sleep with everyone to retain them?"

“…”

The malicious comment army came with great force, suppressing the comments of fans.

Brother Zhang didn't expect that Shen Ci was still participating in the variety show, and was suddenly scolded on the hot search, so he hurriedly contacted Yunxiao's public relations team.

The participating artists also stopped what they were doing and came to comfort Shen Ci, and some even picked up their phones to speak out angrily.

Unlike the last time when they were joking, this time they were really worried.

Shen Ci was browsing the trending searches and saw that many friends were speaking up for him.

Cheng Yun: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, okay? We all live together day and night and none of us don't like gossip!"

Wei Shuo: "I'm so pissed off. Xiaoci's idiotic behavior has come out again! Some keyboard warriors should stop trying to gain recognition!"

Shao Jinhuan: "Is it fun to hurt him?"

There were many more, but they were all useless and Shen Ci was still badly scolded.

Because the point that the haters are making is that "Shen Ci is a vase", no matter how the friends fight back, they can't come up with enough facts to really shut them up.

Shen Ci felt a little dejected. He was used to using words like "vase" and "waste" to make fun of himself, but now that someone else was using them to criticize him...it was indeed uncomfortable.

Riding Pig Flying: "So many foul-mouthed people, I'm speechless! When "Neighbor Sunshine and You" is broadcast in two days, Teacher Xiao Shen's performance will definitely slap you in the face!"

A single stone caused a thousand ripples. A Weibo post by Director Zhu Fei attracted a lot of attention. The crowd flocked in and started gossiping about the sudden announcement of the show's launch, and how outstanding "Teacher Xiao Shen's performance" was as Director Zhu said.

Shen Ci was also a little surprised. This campus drama would take at least another two months to complete the review and start airing. How come... it suddenly passed the review in seconds?

What's more, the director actually came out to speak for him personally, which surprised Shen Ci a little.

This wave of comments calmed down Shen Ci's haters for a while, and the blog posts full of hostility were also suppressed a bit.

Soon, Yunxiao Entertainment’s official Weibo account released an announcement.

"You will see the truth in three days. The truth is the most convincing."

Shen Ci: "Brother Zhang...is that drama really going to be aired suddenly?"

"Yes." Brother Zhang leaned down to Shen Ci's ear and whispered in a low voice, "Your uncle helped to arrange it."

Uncle...

Shen Ci bit his lip and sighed, "I'm bothering him again. He's been too busy with work lately. I really shouldn't do this."

Brother Zhang smiled and flipped through the trending searches to show him: "You only looked at your own, but didn't you pay attention to the ones below?"

He pointed to the item "Yunxiao Group Merger" on the hot search list. Shen Ci clicked on it and saw many familiar names.

The gist of the news is that Yunxiao acquired four large companies in one go, and their chairmen were all sent to prison for reasons such as "covering up the deaths of workers". The most important thing is that these people's names all start with the character "Lu".

Shen Ci recognized them; these were all relatives from when Lu Xiao's family was still intact.

I heard from my parents that Lu Xiao's parents died in an accident because of these people. They have always coveted the huge family business of the Lu family.

Wei Shuo had told him before that Lu Xiao had been fighting with this group of people recently, and now it seems... it's over?

Shen Ci was quite happy, as this meant that Lu Xiao would no longer have to work overtime!

Then Sister Jiaxi... doesn't have to be by Lu Xiao's side every day because of work.

The worries just now were diluted a lot. Shen Ci took out his mobile phone and was about to dial a number when Lu Xiao called.

Is this a telepathic connection?

Shen Ci smiled and pursed his lips before answering the phone: "Hello? Uncle!"

Lu Xiao's voice was as steady and magnetic as ever: "Xiao Ci, don't worry about what's happening online."

Shen Ci nodded, and then he remembered that Lu Xiao couldn't see, so he quickly added: "With my uncle's support, I'm not worried!"

Lu Xiao seemed pleased by these words and chuckled.

"But I'm a little worried about you..."

"I will stay at your B&B tomorrow, please remember to reserve a room for me."

Shen Ci was confused: "...what?"
