Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 71 You're not talking about Lin Lang, are you?
Actually... Lin Lang really wanted this.

He didn't want any major accidents to happen, so he was worried about Mi Xiaofan.

If Mi Xiaofan suddenly awakens as a fairy and tries to mess with him, Big Fish Media is just starting out, and he doesn't have enough connections to handle things. He'll definitely be dragged into a quagmire.

Bing Ning is different. She is thinking about paying back the money she owes Shen An'an. It's clear that she is someone who can take a break and won't bring up old grievances.

"You're using this to test me?"

“Yes, you said that Sister Bing looks a lot like your ex-girlfriend,” Shen An’an said seriously.

Lin Lang laughed and said, "You said it yourself, she's my ex-girlfriend. I've already been hurt once, why would I go after her a second time? Even a moth to a flame wouldn't be as stupid as me."

"Oh..." Shen An'an breathed a sigh of relief.

“However…” Lin Lang changed the subject and said, “Sister Bing is probably different from my ex-girlfriend. I need to work hard to overcome my inner demons.”

After saying that, Lin Lang got out of the car and waved goodbye to Shen An'an.

All he wants to do right now is go home, take a shower, and then edit the video.

As soon as he got home, Ms. Xu noticed something unusual about him; his clothes were unusually dirty.

"What have you been doing?"

"I filmed a video for an online influencer at the company, about harvesting rice... and now my body is so itchy."

Hearing this, Lin Yuliang laughed, "So you know what it's like to be in pain? When you were five or six years old, our family was harvesting rice. We used a tractor to thresh the rice at the threshing ground. Every time the tractor finished, you kids would roll around on it, and your whole body would ache when you took a bath at night."

Ms. Xu seemed to be drawn back into her memories, "It's all happened so fast... Back then, my family was so poor, and I was already pregnant with my second child..."

Lin Yuliang said with a stern face, "Why are you bringing this up again?"

"If we had two at home, wouldn't it be so lively?"

"That sounds nice, but if we had two, could we afford to raise them?"

Lin Lang poked his head out of the bathroom and asked, "Mom and Dad, you're not that old, why don't you try to have another one?"

……

After taking a shower, Lin Lang returned to his room. He didn't see the elderly couple in the living room, and wondered if they were really planning to have another child.

After all, the two of them usually watch TV for a while.

It's possible that the TV series ended today, and I didn't plan to start a new project.

In his bedroom, Lin Lang spent more than two hours editing today's video. He sent a message to Yun Yiyi but received no reply. Since he was also tired, he simply sent the video and left a message before going to bed immediately.

The next morning, he rode his electric scooter back to his hometown.

It will take some time for Bingning to finish the design drawings, so she definitely won't be free for the next couple of days.

After he arrived in Xigang Town, Yun Yiyi had already sent out the video.

She didn't even have time to check the video data; she immediately began cooperating with Lin Lang to film today's opening remarks.

Today she changed into a simpler outfit.

On the way there, Lin Lang explained to Yun Yi everything that needed to be filmed that day.

It's not very complicated; there are only two main emotional points.

The first is to show her hard work, and the second is to show her kindness.

Harvesting rice is hard work. In the past, all the rice had to be transported to the threshing ground. Now, there are semi-automatic threshing machines, which Yun Yiyi has already borrowed. They will be transported directly to the fields in a while.

Theoretically speaking, calling a harvester yesterday would have been the best option, but then we wouldn't have had any footage to shoot, and the elderly would definitely have had to pay extra.

The rice grown in Tianshui County is a hybrid rice variety with a high yield, ranging from 1,500 to 1,800 jin per mu. Its disadvantage is the less palatable taste, but its advantage is its low price. Well-threshed local rice generally costs around 1.8 to 2 yuan per jin, while dried, hulled rice fetches around 1.2 yuan per jin.

The cost of a combine harvester is between 150 and 200 yuan per mu (unit of land area). Two mu of land will only yield about 3,000 yuan in total. If you call a combine harvester and ask them to pay 300 to 400 yuan for the cost, that's not really helping.

It's not like they don't know how to find a harvester.

Although making videos is all about showing off, if it's not done well, it can easily backfire.

Yun Yiyi has already deleted all the videos from a few days ago; her public image needs to be downgraded.

Lin Lang mainly explained to Yun Yi the details that needed to be handled properly.

For example, after selling the rice, you must help bring the bags back.

What might be worthless to others could be quite valuable to elderly people, even if it's just a few dozen bags.

Paying attention to details is crucial to minimizing any trace of showmanship, enhancing the video's authenticity, and elevating Yun Yiyi's persona.

We filmed from 7:30 a.m. until 4 p.m., and finally managed to sell the rice from our two acres of land.

Because the freshly harvested rice was quite moist, it was originally sold for 1.1 yuan, but Yun Yiyi compensated her by bringing the price down to 1.2 yuan, all of which was shown in the video.

Not only that, they also asked the grain collector for some burlap sacks, and finally bought two bags of good-tasting rice, which they delivered to the student's home.

Many stories unfolded along the way, such as the old man insisting on paying for the threshing machine and refusing to accept rice.

Finally, at Yun Yiyi's insistence, the old man gave her dozens of eggs that he had saved up at home.

Yun Yiyi received a subsidy of about 800 yuan for the whole thing, and she was exhausted after a day and a half.

However, with the video footage in hand, Lin Lang managed to capture several great shots.

Then, Lin Lang rushed to the county town immediately, hoping to finish editing the video before eight o'clock.

At this moment, inside the Oscar Bar.

Shen An'an was bored at home, so she ate lunch here and hasn't left since.

Bingning was drawing, but she didn't quite understand what it was about.

Bingning spoke up, "An'an, are you bored?"

"No, Sister Bing looks so beautiful when she's working..."

"Ok?"

Bing Ning felt something was off. What did Shen An'an mean by that?
Her orientation is perfectly normal, right?
She stopped what she was doing and asked, "Is something the matter?"

"No, no, no, it's just that I feel like a lot of people like Sister Bing."

Bingning frowned and asked, "Tell me the truth, what's wrong? You have quite a few people who like you."

"No, no, nobody likes me."

Shen An'an didn't seem to have much confidence.

Bingning had never seen Shen An'an like this before; she had always been a very confident person.

After briefly analyzing Shen An'an's two sentences and combining them with her own experience, she quickly understood and asked, "An'an, have you met someone you like?"

Shen An'an nodded without hesitation, "Yes, I think he likes me, but it seems like he doesn't like me."

Bingning laughed, "You must be overthinking it. No one will refuse you."

"He can, because he likes Sister Bing."

"Hmm? We don't have many mutual friends, right? Qin Haiyang could be considered half a friend, but he has a girlfriend now, so he's definitely not one. Then who is it? You're not talking about Lin Lang, are you?"
