I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 136 Is Ye Xian really 20 years old?

Ding Zhan is known for being a fast worker.

While Ye Xian and Qiu's mother were discussing how to renovate the yard, Ding Zhan arranged for several decoration companies to meet with Ye Xian.

Ye Xian had to put on his brace again.

If you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way. After all, you're a public figure, and if someone catches you moving around freely, it'll definitely cause problems.

The hashtag "Ye Xian feigns illness" will be trending in less than a day.

I reckon the academy will be annoyed that they didn't put on a good enough show.

……

"Brother Xian, I'm a fan of yours! You absolutely have to sign my autograph later!"

"Brother Xian, I'm a huge fan of your brand! I bought everything you recommended!"

"Brother Xian, when are you going to mentor our renovation company?"

The three renovation companies were overjoyed to be able to visit Ye Xian's currently popular live stream room, but they were speechless when they saw the shabby live stream background package.

Indeed, great skill appears clumsy.

Everything looked beautiful in the live stream, but when I got there, I realized it was just a dilapidated flat roof with some LED strips and white gauze hanging from it, along with a table and a few chairs.

Ye Xian invited everyone to sit down in the study and shared his thoughts: "I have two renovation ideas that you three can consider. We'll compare the plans first, then the prices."

"The first option is to keep the existing main structure unchanged and then make modifications on that basis. I need to add a live broadcast area, an office area, leave some warehouse space for a small shop, and separate the living area from my recording studio and study. This is a minor modification."

"The second option is a major overhaul, which involves tearing down all the existing buildings and starting from scratch. This major overhaul requires planning a live-streaming area, an office area, and employee dormitories. The convenience store will be converted into an offline experience store for Qiuye Yanxuan. The live-streaming will be divided into indoor and outdoor sessions, with the outdoor rooftop dedicated to broadcasting fireside chats. Therefore, the scenery needs to be made beautiful."

The recording studio, study, and dance studio were all redesigned and rebuilt. The living area was designed only for me, with one room reserved for my parents' belongings. The entrances to the living area and office area were separate; that was roughly the idea.

The heads of the three renovation companies exchanged glances, all somewhat shocked. One of them, a woman in a red suit, said, "Brother Xian, this is a big move! Tearing everything down. This piece of land isn't small; the civil engineering work will be no small project."

"Now that you mention it, I just remembered, are your building permits inadequate?"

Ye Xian suddenly realized that the second option required construction qualifications that ordinary small decoration companies could not meet.

The three men quickly shook their heads and said, "Don't worry, Brother Xian, we can definitely take on construction work, but you'll need to apply for the necessary permits yourselves."

Ding Zhan chimed in from the side, "You don't need to worry about that. You just need to produce the design drawings according to the building codes, and I'll handle the approval process."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This was a big job, and whoever could handle it would have to prove their skills.

Ding Zhan got up to see the renovation company boss off, then turned around to report: "Xiao Xiao's school's first mock exam is over, and she did very well. When should we arrange our schedule?"

Ye Xian said irritably, "You gave me such a lame excuse, how am I supposed to attend public events?"

Ding Zhan touched his nose, looking unusually embarrassed: "It's just that time is tight and the task is heavy. Only when you can't walk anymore can you reasonably refuse the school!"

"What about that little one?"

Ye Xian stroked his chin. He had promised Xiao Xiao and her classmates a surprise, and now that the exams were over, it was time to keep his promise.

The problem is that he's currently portraying himself as an injured person who couldn't even attend the graduation concert, and now he's suddenly standing up and going to a high school. Isn't that a slap in the face?

"Postponed for another two weeks?"

Ding Zhan thought for a moment and could only resort to this last resort. Ye Xian glared at him angrily: "What else can we do? You should talk to Xiao Xiao's homeroom teacher. March 12th is a Sunday, and they should have half a day off. Let's go at that time."

Ding Zhan didn't respond, but continued, "The 'Kuaishou Tour of 108 Provinces of the Tang Dynasty' series of events has ended. Kuaishou officials were very satisfied with your performance in Haizhou last time, and this time they would like to invite you to participate in 'Kuaishou Star Night' as a guest singer."

"I remember this, wasn't it also around mid-March?"

Ye Xian remembered that Ding Zhan had mentioned to him before that when he participated in the Haizhou trip, he thought there wouldn't be any follow-up events, but who knew that Kuaiyin officials would give him a new invitation.

Indeed, currying favor with powerful figures is the best shortcut to fame.

"November 18th."

Ding Zhan laughed and said, "It's Saturday. This time, the impact is even stronger than the Haizhou trip. It's being broadcast live across the entire Tang Dynasty, so the boost to our account will definitely be better than last time."

"Alright, alright! Then I'll stay home and rest and recuperate!"

Ye Xian shook his head helplessly. Time was really tight. When did he become so busy?

Ding Zhan left Ye Xian's study with a satisfied expression.

Ye Xian has once again successfully made a living.

Sure enough, his account was his Achilles' heel.

……

For the next week, Ye Xian couldn't go anywhere and could only stay in his room diligently writing.

If there's nothing to do, then so be it. Anyway, Ye Xian had been planning to take a break for a while anyway.

Injuring your leg is something you should do as it comes.

In just over a week, I went from a small-time streamer to a mid-tier streamer with some fame. This kind of sudden surge in popularity can easily backfire if not handled properly.

In another world, there are two female streamers who sing "dig, dig, dig." In just a few days, their number of fans skyrocketed by millions. All sorts of rumors and conspiracy theories came flooding in, to the point that one of the female streamers had to turn off the tipping function when she went live to avoid being gossiped about.

However, the female streamer's fans criticized her, saying that the number one streamer on the entire internet doesn't turn off tipping, and so many streamers on the entire internet don't turn off tipping, so why can't she accept tips just because she's famous?

Another female streamer was the first to sing, but she quickly started selling products, going to a popular internet celebrity's live stream to participate in product sales, which caused various controversies.

Keyboard warriors have been locked in a fierce battle over this topic.

Ye Xian didn't want to repeat the same mistake, so these past few days he hasn't done anything extra except for live streaming. He also asked Sun Li and Ding Zhan to stop any unnecessary actions in the public eye, and even the online battle with Kanye West's PR team should be kept under control, without causing too much trouble.

There are many reds.

I have no idea how many eyes are watching me.

Ye Xian could only say that he just wanted to focus on selling goods and that he would not bother others unless they bothered him.

I'll take this opportunity to finish the manuscript of "Dream of the Red Chamber".

The simplified version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" has been published, and the original version is also progressing well. These past few days, my writing speed has improved significantly because I've been focused and can easily complete 2 words a day.

……

Ye Xian has fallen silent, but the internet will not be quiet, and "The Youth" continues to gain traction.

"Hello everyone, this is Wild Blowing Old Wang. Today's music review is 'Youth'."

"That's right, I've completely accepted the nickname 'Wild Blower'."

"Ye Xian released his new song 'Youth' these past few days, and sometimes I can't help but wonder if he's really 20 years old!"
