Chapter 81 Adults Want It All
The air at the mountain resort was moist and fresh at night, and the familiar, long chirping of cicadas lingered in my ears.
After last night's drizzle, the air was filled with the croaking of frogs, and the wind rustled through the treetops, occasionally punctuated by the alert barking of distant wolves.
Upon hearing that the director was going to help sell agricultural products, the village chief was overjoyed and brought a group of young men over to help prepare the goods. The live broadcast was held in the spacious and bright village chief's office.
The office is better decorated than other places. The interior is simple and plain, the tiled floor is as smooth as a mirror, and the desk is piled with neat documents. There is not only a large ceiling fan, but also a standing air conditioner.
Li Xumin, the village chief's son, walked towards Yan Zhuoyu carrying a basket.
Yan Zhuoyu was learning live-streaming techniques from Fan Wenran. Of course, the main force was actually the director and the village chief, since whoever offered the suggestions was responsible for the actual work.
Li Xumin awkwardly took a few peaches from the basket: "Teacher Yan, these are peaches I just picked from the garden this afternoon, and also some canned yellow peaches that my mom made herself. They're very sweet, please try them."
Yan Zhuoyu smiled and accepted it, then handed one to Fan Wenran: "Thank you, but I've never seen your mother before? It seems like there are very few girls in the village, and children are not common either."
Li Xumin smiled憨厚ly: "It's too hot. My mom and sister have gone to stay at home to enjoy themselves, with the fan blowing and watching TV."
"Wow, this is such a pleasant life," Fan Wenran said enviously.
Li Xumin added, "Yes, the men in our village all know how to cherish their wives and live a down-to-earth life, unlike those frivolous people outside."
After setting up the equipment, Tan Wenbo clapped his hands in satisfaction: "Wow, the signal in your office is really good. My cell phone signal is full."
"It's about to start, everyone get ready. With a perfect network, the live stream tonight will be absolutely smooth."
Yan Zhuoyu smiled and pulled Fan Wenran, who was still chatting with Li Xumin, away.
"We'll go get ready now, we'll talk again when we have time."
Upon arriving at the live-streaming area, Fan Wenran was still remarking, "Li Xumin is such an honest man. Listening to the stories he told, it's clear he dotes on his sister."
"Maybe so, whether or not to spoil them depends on actual actions."
Yan Zhuoyu looked down and sent Pei Weijin a message: [I'm going to be doing a live stream with the crew in a bit, Mr. Pei, who's always so busy, would you like to watch?]
She also thoughtfully shared the link to the live stream announcement posted by Tan Wenbo.
Pei Weijin replied almost instantly: [Okay, do I need to download any software? The live stream content is very positive and uplifting. I'll have Secretary Meng share it in the work group to encourage everyone to watch.]
Yan Zhuoyu had the urge to go to the company to check up on things again.
With half a minute left before the live stream, she quickly sent one last message: [Dear Mr. Pei, I'm very possessive of my money, you know? If you want to support your wife, just send a free little flower.]
Pei Weijin replied regretfully: 【Okay, I'll listen to my wife.】
With his words, Yan Zhuoyu felt much more at ease.
The crew members all forwarded Tan Wenbo's live broadcast announcement to their personal Weibo accounts. Although the announcement was short, the number of online viewers reached 2 when the live broadcast officially started.
After Yan Zhuoyu and the other actors exchanged a few words, the camera naturally turned to Tan Wenbo.
The village chief, wearing a brand-new striped short-sleeved shirt and holding a jar of canned yellow peaches, enthusiastically introduced them: "These are our handmade canned yellow peaches, even tastier than those sold in supermarkets, with absolutely no additives!"
The assistant reacted quickly, immediately displaying the product link, and Tan Wenbo seized the opportunity to capitalize on the moment.
"Green and pollution-free canned yellow peaches! Those who place an order now have a chance to receive an autographed piece from one of our cast members, or a lovely little gift!"
Ryeowook-min also joined in the explanation: "Our canned goods come in three flavors: regular, low-sugar, and..."
Director Tan and his team introduced the food in front, while the small kitchen was busily preparing dishes in the back.
Farmhouse chicken soup, pork head jelly, steamed river fish, cured duck stew...
One after another, authentic farm-style dishes were served, their aroma filling the air.
Yan Zhuoyu and several other actors, including Fan Wenran, sat around a simple table, leisurely acting as taste testers.
They had just had a light snack in the afternoon and were looking forward to the sumptuous dinner tonight.
Fan Wenran said with satisfaction, "This dish is made with high-quality ingredients, and it tastes so much better than the makeshift boxed lunches that the crew usually eats!"
The food smelled delicious, so they ate with extra sincerity.
Director Tan also cleverly scheduled the live broadcast for 9 p.m.
Late-night delicacies have netizens drooling with envy.
[This is outrageous! Posting tempting products late at night, why are you making us drool over them?!]
[Waaaaah, my Zhuobao eats so elegantly, with a serene and beautiful quality. The only minor flaw is that this bite of food didn't get into my mouth!]
[Little Cumin is so cute! Her cheeks are so chubby, and seeing her eating so well so late at night warms my heart.]
[Stop eating, I'll buy it, okay? *sobs*]
Yan Zhuoyu, dressed in a cool silk short-sleeved shirt, sat on a small stool, eating and chatting with Fan Wenran, their laughter echoing from time to time.
She scooped up a spoonful of golden, glistening chicken soup, took a small sip, and found it fresh, fragrant, and not greasy.
The translucent pig's head meat jelly is smooth and delicious.
The table was laden with a dazzling array of dishes. Fan Wenran exclaimed happily, "Oh no, there are so many dishes! I'm having trouble choosing, hahaha!"
Yan Zhuoyu laughed and said, "Is there even a need to choose? Adults naturally want them all!"
Amidst the tranquil atmosphere unique to the mountain village, everyone gathered together in a joyful atmosphere.
However, some keyboard warriors who are unhappy with their own lives couldn't stand it and questioned the casting of Tan Wenbo.
[Director Tan's casting choices this time are truly baffling. Can an actress like Yan Zhuoyu, who only has looks but no talent, possibly handle such a profound subject? She probably can't even handle slightly simple makeup and styling, right? I hope the screen ends up filled with close-ups of her beautiful face. Director Tan, don't forget your original intentions for the sake of so-called popularity!]
Even those who aren't fans of Yan Zhuoyu find this statement harsh. Good looks and acting skills aren't contradictory; wouldn't it be better to give everyone room to grow?
[Clicking into that guy's profile, no wonder, turns out he's a male fan of Zhu Xinian, acting like a mad dog, questioning any pretty actress he sees.]
[Although it's impolite to say this, I've been annoyed with your boss for a long time. He's in a rush to change his image after injuring his eye, and even calls himself a veteran actor. Don't forget how he marketed himself as the "ceiling of pure and innocent beauty in the Chinese entertainment industry."]
[I've been wanting to ask this for a long time: why does Zhu Xinian always talk about actresses behind their backs, while praising male actors as having potential and a bright future? What kind of double standard is this?]
The comments were scrolling by rapidly; before you could even finish reading the previous one, the next one was already popping up.
Seeing that things were not going well, the assistant quickly enabled the chat restrictions and added several blocked words, and the chat area finally quieted down.
Although it was a hater who deliberately came to cause trouble, Yan Zhuoyu felt it was necessary to explain.
