Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 135 So, from now on, you're my older sister?
Lin Lang felt that Mi Xiaofan had changed a bit too quickly.

The feeling of interacting with people suddenly became much gentler.

Her personality used to be like a hedgehog; she would just stay put and not actively hurt anyone.

But if you actively try to move it, you might get hurt.

Now, Mi Xiaofan has begun to soften her thorns.

Yes, she must have a sorcerer guiding her from behind!

This is a good thing for Lin Lang. What he needs is Mi Xiaofan's youth and liveliness. If she continues to be a prickly person and makes some mistakes, she will turn into a resentful woman with extreme behavior in a few years.

Such people pose a greater risk; they are like a time bomb that could explode at any moment.

Although Mi Xiaofan now has two bombs, those are his capital for making money.

After finishing, it was already past 5 pm. I only filmed four videos in total, which should last for about a week.

Now Mi Xiaofan doesn't need to update so frequently; updating one video every two days is enough.

Currently, only 23 accounts on the entire Douyin platform have over 10 million followers, and six of them are celebrity accounts or government accounts.

Reaching ten million followers means instantly becoming an absolute top influencer on the internet.

Once Mi Xiaofan's fan base surpasses ten million, it signifies her absolute breakthrough and her becoming a top-tier beauty blogger.

We're almost ready to see a return on our investment...

Lin Lang went to the company for a while, and then drove home.

It was only a little past six o'clock when I got home and found my mom already preparing the vegetables.

"Mom, you're off work so early today?"

Lin Yuliang came out of the bedroom and said, "What's with the morning? I got fired. I don't have to go to work anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ms. Xu glared at him.

Lin Lang sat on the sofa and asked, "What happened?"

Ms. Xu immediately became furious: "Who knows what happened? I was doing just fine, and suddenly they said they were firing me! I'm just a lowly waitress, as if nobody cares about me."

"You have to give a reason, right?"

Lin Lang asked a question.

He wasn't actually concerned about whether his mother had a job or not; it was just that his mother was clearly angry, and he needed to find a way to help her vent her emotions.

By bringing up past events, she gradually vented her emotions.

As expected, Ms. Xu started to complain wildly after hearing Lin Lang's words.

I can tell that leader doesn't seem like a good person. He acts like a big shot all the time. I even saw a little girl sitting in the passenger seat, who looks about the same age as his daughter.

He could even lay a hand on someone his own daughter's age; what a hypocrite!
Lin Lang then extended the discussion further, suggesting things like, "That little girl might be someone's daughter."

Then Ms. Xu tried to prove that the little girl was not her boss's daughter, getting more and more excited as she spoke. In short, she claimed that her boss was a beast and that she was a vulnerable person...

After venting her anger, she went to cook. While eating, she also cursed Lin Yuliang a few times, saying that when she asked him to pick someone up in the afternoon, she specifically told him to shout louder, but he was too embarrassed to shout, which caused many people to miss seeing her leave in a luxury car.

Ms. Xu's anger stemmed from feeling unfairly bullied. If she had done something wrong and been fired, she wouldn't have been this angry, no matter how stubborn she was.

However, this anger came quickly and went quickly.

After all, her family doesn't really need her monthly salary of two thousand yuan.

The next day, she got up as usual and made breakfast for Lin Lang, and the family ate together.

Anyway, I can go to Yanli's house and help keep an eye on the renovation.

……

"The renovation materials have arrived. Do you want to come and supervise the work? Oh, by the way, An'an left today; her dad came to pick her up."

"Supervise the work! We absolutely must supervise! But it'll be this afternoon; the morning's been a bit busy."

Lin Lang received Bing Ning's message and immediately agreed.

Then, he finished what usually takes six or seven hours in just over four hours in the morning.

Then I drove straight back to my hometown, planning to eat with Bingning there, since there are fast food options there.

Sesser is the primary productive force, both in reality and on the internet.

However, when he arrived at his hometown, he did not see Bing Ning.

I took out my phone and glanced at it. I saw that Bingning had sent me a message twenty minutes ago.

"Your parents brought me to your uncle's house for dinner."

Lin Lang: "..."

No, what are the elderly couple doing here?

Didn't I say last night that I was going to supervise the construction of Yan Li's house?

He was really hungry, so he quickly drove to his uncle's house to avoid missing the meal if he was late.

His uncle's name is Lin Yushan, and he is the village party secretary of his village.

His daughter, Lin Li, works as a director at a primary school.

It was Lin Li who introduced Li Wanqing to him.

Before he even reached his uncle's house, he saw his father's car. Lin Lang found a place to park and immediately went inside.

"Uncle! Aunt!"

After calling out, he went straight inside.

At the large table of people, the two brothers, Lin Yushan and Lin Yuliang, sat together, while Ms. Xu sat with Bingning.

Then there's Aunt Cao Hong and eldest sister Lin Li.

Upon seeing Lin Lang approaching, Cao Hong immediately exclaimed, "Langlang's here! Why didn't you say so sooner? We would have been waiting for you."

Lin Lang chuckled and said, "It's nothing, I just came to mooch a meal, I'm not a guest."

He casually moved a stool over, and by then, Lin Li had already brought him a bowl and chopsticks.

"Thank you, sister."

Actually, my uncle's family has never been particularly easy to get along with, mainly because of this aunt.

This old lady is the kind of person who is petty and fussy. If you borrow something from her, she'll be stingy, but when she asks someone for something back, she's never polite.

However, the eldest uncle had a very good relationship with his father and brothers.

Lin Lang glanced at the table, which was covered with five dishes, several of which were main dishes.

Wild crucian carp that was first pan-fried and then stewed, a plate of eel, a stewed old hen, and a big pot of pork ribs.

Lin Lang glanced at Cao Hong and sensed that... after this meal, the old lady would inevitably nag the old man.

Yes, this lady is also an inheritor of intangible cultural heritage, and her qualifications even far exceed those of her own mother.

Anyone who dares to steal even half a cucumber from her vegetable garden will be scolded by her at the village entrance for three days and three nights.

"Langlang, I heard you started a company in the county town? Do you need any more staff?"

Just as Lin Lang picked up his chopsticks, Cao Hong spoke up.

Lin Lang didn't stand on ceremony and picked up a piece of pork rib to eat first, so as not to suffer any loss.

While eating, he said, "We need more people, if they meet our company's requirements..."

"How's your brother doing? He's been working too hard at the factory these past two years. I'm thinking of getting him some work to do at home..."

"Oh? Sure, have him come back. He can come to me directly, and I'll try to find him a job."

Lin Lang's cousin is twenty years old this year. He is the third child in his family, with two older sisters.

Although my eldest sister, Lin Li, is married, her family home is near the school, and she often comes back.

My second sister married into another village and works away from home every year, only returning around Chinese New Year.

This younger brother was secretly born after his two older sisters were much older, so he's more than ten years younger than Lin Li. He dropped out of school after junior high and spent all his time hanging out in internet cafes. In the last two years, his family finally decided to send him to work in a factory.

That cousin of mine has a good temper and is quite honest.

He's just too lazy.

Upon hearing Lin Lang's words, Cao Hong immediately smiled.

She doesn't easily show that smiling face to others; she cherishes it very much.

"I'm happy with what you said. I don't need a high salary, five or six thousand a month is fine."

Upon hearing this, Ms. Xu couldn't help but want to speak.

Five or six thousand? Are you trying to rob us?
I've worked in the county town for so many years and I only make two thousand yuan.

My husband works himself to the bone and only makes a little over four thousand a month.

As a result, Lin Lang quickly replied, "No problem, no problem, it's not hard to find a job that pays five or six thousand."

These are all minor matters. As long as I arrange things properly, my mother will be able to stand up to her sister-in-law and gradually make up for the losses she suffered in the past, thus compensating for her emotional distress.

A verbal loss is also a loss.

For Lin Lang, this meal was very expensive.

However, there will be many more such incidents in the future. After all, his father had four brothers, and his mother also had four brothers and sisters. Except for one of his sisters who married and moved to the county town, the others lived in several nearby villages.

A quick calculation reveals that there are many relatives.

Not to mention his father's side has a whole bunch of cousins...

The most common surname in Xigang Town is Lin.

If we start counting from his great-grandfather's generation, Lin Yuliang would only be ranked thirteenth in his generation.

It's still only for men.

After dinner, Lin Li called him aside and asked how things went with Li Wanqing, and even gossiped a bit about whether Li Wanqing was making money now...

Lin Lang gave a few perfunctory replies, and Lin Li didn't say anything more. It was obvious that Ms. Xu had probably already mentioned Yan Li's matter when she came here.

Given Ms. Xu's personality, it's impossible for her to keep this a secret for long.

After Lin Lang finished dealing with the situation, he discovered that his parents had already left, and even his uncle and aunt were gone.

Lin Lang arrived at his hometown and found everyone there.

My uncle and father were pointing and gesturing inside the house. Both of them knew a lot about interior design, since the two most common professions for rural people are farming and building and decorating houses.

Ms. Xu came over to Lin Lang and asked, "How much will this whole set cost? We saw Ningning's interior design renderings, and they're really beautiful..."

"This...didn't Sister Bing mention it?"

"They didn't say, and I was too embarrassed to ask, since they were the ones who paid for it."

"In total, it'll probably cost around seven or eight hundred thousand," Lin Lang casually stated a figure.

In reality, it would cost around one million, but we haven't paid that much yet.

"Didn't you say it was four or five hundred thousand?"

"Sister Bing insists on using the best materials. After all, we'll be staying here for half a month during the Lunar New Year. Many inferior materials require synthetic boards, and staying indoors for a long time is not good for your health."

"That's true, I heard that those glues and stuff contain a lot of formaldehyde..."

"Yep."

Ms. Xu suddenly said, "Go ahead and do what you need to do. You don't need to worry about me. Your dad will drive me home later."

Lin Lang: "..."

No, Mom, you stole my lines!
He was just about to say that too.

Are you just going to ignore Yan Li's house?
Lin Lang glanced at Bing Ning, her voluptuous figure something he hadn't seen in almost a month.

Finally, Shen An'an was outlasted...

"Well... okay, I'll head back now."

After speaking with Ms. Xu, Lin Lang said to Bing Ning, "Sister Bing, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

Bing Ning said with a smile, "Okay, I'm here, don't worry."

Lin Lang: "..."

OJBK!

The trip was a complete waste; all I got was a free lunch. It didn't even cover the gas money, and I ended up losing a job.

However, Lin Lang finally found that feeling he had been dreaming of.

Making a name for yourself in your hometown is better than anywhere else!
In my past life in Shanghai, I earned quite a bit each month, but no one could see it; it was just a string of numbers.

Besides, their own lives weren't much better than before, and if they talked too much, people would think they were just bragging.

You make millions a year, why didn't you buy a car worth hundreds of thousands? Why didn't you build a villa in your hometown?
When I was young, I felt that my relatives back home were useless, as they were all busy with trivial matters all day long.

The person who lived in the big city later discovered, after experiencing setbacks, that the troubles back home could provide solace.

Even if the old lady has a sharp tongue, if someone comes to her house for a meal, she will make sure to prepare a special feast. Even if someone shamelessly asks to stay at her house for a few days, she won't say anything and will even make up a clean bed for them.

After returning to the company, Lin Lang began to busy himself with other tasks.

When it comes to work, as long as you're willing to do it, there's always plenty of work to be done.

I was busy until about 5:30 pm when Bingning sent me a message.

"I'm home. Want to come over for dinner?"

"almost there!"

Lin Lang arrived at Bing Ning's residence in ten minutes.

After climbing upstairs, I knocked on the door.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Bingning, who had just finished showering. The towel she was wrapped in could barely conceal her figure.

After Lin Lang came in, he immediately closed the door and then put his arm around Bing Ning.

Upon first use, you'll find it incredibly smooth and soft.

Bing Ning's alluring eyes were also watery as she slowly walked from the living room to the sofa, her bath towel nowhere to be seen.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Lang pressed down directly.

……

About half an hour later.

Still feeling the afterglow of Bing Ning's kiss, she wrapped her arm around Lin Lang's neck and whispered in his ear, "I have something to tell you..."

"Uh-huh……"

"My godmother talked to me for a long time this afternoon, asking about my situation..."

"No, wait a minute, who is your godmother?" Lin Lang quickly interrupted.

Bing Ning smiled slightly, "What do you think?"

What did you say to my mom?

"They didn't say anything, just that no one in my family wanted me..."

Lin Lang: "..."

Ms. Xu desperately wanted a daughter, and now she's met someone who's spent hundreds of thousands of yuan on her family, but she's homeless. You can imagine how she feels.

"So, from now on you'll be my older sister?"

"Um...is it exciting?"
