"My Lady! My Lady!"
Director Huang's young nephew, Da Zhuang, ran over, calling out "My Lady!" so smoothly.
"What's wrong, Zhuangzi?"
"My second uncle… uh, I mean Director Huang, wants you to take over Ms. Xia Yiran's livestream."
"No."
Xia Wei Liang was usually easygoing, but on this matter, there was no room for negotiation.
Was she stupid?
Oh, Xia Yiran messed up, and she was supposed to step in and save the day?
Wasn't that clearly slapping her in the face in public?
It wasn't that she was noble, but if attracting hate was something that happened once or twice, who wouldn't get tired of it after a while?
"But… but…" Da Zhuang was anxious. He didn't care that Film Emperor Xiao was still present and leaned in to whisper, "She's not good at creating atmosphere. All the popularity she painstakingly built up has been ruined by her."
"Hey, hey, hey, Comrade Zhuangzi, mind your words! This is something everyone can see, so just keep it to yourself!"
Xia Wei Liang remained stubborn. Da Zhuang was at his wit's end and looked to Film Emperor Xiao for help.
He didn't expect the Film Emperor to go into the livestream, but the Emperor could be a persuader.
Xiao Yi glanced over. The orders were decreasing, and Director Huang of Lianhua Village's brand, was extremely anxious.
"This is for the villagers, after all."
Xiao Yi finally spoke.
Da Zhuang nodded vigorously, making a heart shape with his hands and sending it to her, "String your heart and my heart together, make a heart shape of My Lady's love!"
Xia Wei Liang took a bite of corn and reluctantly stood up, "Fine, I'll go."
Da Zhuang looked at Xiao Yi in shock. As expected of the Film Emperor, his pleading was not as effective as a single sentence from the Emperor!
Director Huang was also thoughtful. He didn't let Xia Wei Liang go over directly but had Wai Shao warm up the crowd first, which neither attracted hate for Xia Wei Liang nor caused Xia Yiran to be scolded.
"What are you waiting for? Extend your little index finger, click the link below, and Grandpa Guan's dehydrated fried cakes will be yours!"
At this moment, Da Zhuang ran over and handed her a small note. Xia Wei Liang opened it and immediately said, "Grandpa Guan's son, Guan Dapeng, are you watching our livestream? Grandpa Guan asked me to pass on a few words to you. When you're working hard outside, you must take care of your health… Also, he's looking for a companion again and wants to ask for your opinion first."
Putting down the note, Xia Wei Liang immediately looked at the shy Grandpa Guan opposite her, "Grandpa, don't worry about your son's opinion, your happiness is the most important! I support you!"
The comment section below also erupted in support.
【This is the most carefree livestream I've ever watched!】
【Hahaha… I was also watching the livestream that day, and My Lady not only helped people with blind dates but also helped villagers find long-lost friends and delivered messages to their children in college. It was so heartwarming!】
【So, what you're saying is, it's okay to put on a sour face even if you know it's a livestream?】
【Are you the kind of person who fails tribulation and reverts to your original form? Both are livestreams, but look at Xia Yiran. She puts on airs of a celebrity, I don't know where she gets her sense of superiority! Our mikoy has more fans than her!】
【Mikochyan: Feeling offended.】
Anyone with eyes could see that when it came to social skills, My Lady had it completely under control!
As long as she wasn't embarrassed, everyone else would be!
A charity livestream for sales, charging ahead, directly hit the platform's sales charts!
Before leaving, Xia Wei Liang also reminded netizens that all villagers' products were handmade or picked, and most of the villagers were elderly or weak laborers. Delivery might not be timely, so those who minded could cancel their orders.
The netizens were also touched.
【No need to cancel! Even if we have to wait until next year's harvest, we'll wait!】
【The villagers aren't doing well, what's a few days' wait?】
【These are green and natural treasures!】
After the livestream ended, a feast began.
The villagers didn't expect to earn more from the livestream than selling to wholesalers. They were even more grateful to the production crew and sent more dishes.
Director Huang simply invited everyone to eat together, setting up a communal feast in the small square. During the feast, the villagers came to toast and express their gratitude.
"Liang'er, Auntie really likes you! If you weren't already taken, Auntie would have introduced my nephew to you!"
Xia Wei Liang's cheeks were flushed from drinking. She reacted a beat late, "I have a boyfriend…?"
She had no recollection of this.
Aunt Yang nudged towards Xiao Yi, "Isn't that him! Apart from you, I haven't seen him care about anyone else!"
Xia Wei Liang: "!"
She turned around to explain, "No, no, no, Aunt Yang, you have to listen to me explain…"
"It's okay, it's okay, Auntie understands. You celebrities always talk about… underground relationships! You can't let others know, Auntie understands!"
"..."
The more she tried to explain, the worse it got. Xia Wei Liang pursed her lips, unable to even laugh.
Before long, the village chief came to toast, followed by Brother Li, Sister Li, Aunt Xiu, and others. It was evident that they truly liked Xia Wei Liang.
Xiao Yi raised his eyes and glanced around, watching her drink cup after cup. Although it was homemade rice wine from the village with a low alcohol content.
But he knew her limits better than anyone.
Even so, he didn't step forward to interfere. Instead, he let her laugh and make noise.
A Ning and mikoy were like two little terriers, flanking Xia Wei Liang, neither willing to cede to the other, both determined to push the other out of their sphere of influence.
Xia Yiran sat in her seat, looked up at the person opposite, and clenched her cup in hatred, her knuckles turning white.
Someone suddenly sat down beside her.
She was startled, and then a blush spread across her cheeks, "Brother Yi…"
Xiao Yi sat next to her, took a sip of rice wine, his expression unchanged, "Stay away from her from now on."
Xia Yiran froze, her expression slowly turning ugly, "Xia Wei Liang? But why?"
Xiao Yi lowered his gaze, a hint of a sneer on his lips, "The makeup artist from the 'Re-finding' crew, I can overlook that. But the hotel design incident that day…"
Xia Yiran panicked and hastily tried to explain. Xiao Yi turned his gaze, his cold black eyes fixed on her, the smile on his lips gaining a hint of ferocity, "Just thinking about the possibility that it wasn't me that day makes me furious."
"..."
Xia Yiran froze completely, staring at him blankly, not daring to say another word.
"From now on, wherever she is, you retreat! I didn't kick you out because I didn't want her to take the blame, but if you dare to scheme against her again, let alone this industry, I will make sure you can't get by anywhere!"
Having said what he needed to say, he stood up and left.
Xia Yiran stared at his retreating back in disbelief. Even though she knew Xiao Yi treated Xia Wei Liang differently from others, with the Film Emperor's filter, she never expected him to have such a cold and sinister side!
While her heart pounded, it was almost a disillusionment!
Just because of Xia Wei Liang, why did she have to drag the Film Emperor down from the altar?
She actually admired him for a while before!
She resentfully picked up her cup and drank several cups of rice wine in a row.
Lianhua Village hadn't been this lively in a long time. Brother Qiao filmed for a while with his machine, then had it taken down directly, "No more filming!"
This was Director Huang's capriciousness.
So, what the audience saw was a black screen after this, and large characters flashed on the screen: 【Program Intermission!】
【That's it????】
【What's the meaning of the black screen? Is there something we VIPs can't see?】
【Before the screen went black, did you see the Film Emperor and My Lady behind Director Huang?】
【Wow! I rewound to watch! I saw it, I saw it!!】
【Comrades, screenshots are ready.】
Soon, a screenshot of the Film Emperor supporting the drunken My Lady, gently patting her head, appeared. With a posture of "I look like a monthly subscription, but I'm definitely not," it expertly climbed to the top of the trending searches. Sudan Novel Network.
