I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

Jiang Chen leaned back in the boss's chair, closed his eyes, and waited quietly.

Jiang Chen's breath caught in his throat for a moment!

[Ding! 15x super bonus rebate has been activated!]

Cashback amount: 37,500,000 yuan!

[Your funds have been automatically deposited into your Citibank offshore confidential account!]

Jiang Chen looked at the long string of zeros, let out a long breath, and felt every pore on his body open up.

Jiang Chen was overjoyed when the rebate arrived in his account.

But what pleased and surprised him even more was the sudden popularity of his uncle Jiang Jianguo.

The day after the live stream ended, the internet was flooded with fan-made videos about the "Good Products from Jiangjia Village" live stream.

The most popular one is Uncle Jiang Jianguo.

Netizens shared a clip from his first live stream where he was so nervous that he blurted out, "These sweet potatoes grow in the ground."

He broke open a roasted sweet potato, got burned by the sugar and oil, but then squinted his eyes in satisfaction.

His social anxiety and helplessness contrasted sharply with the irritable Wang Dagou next to him.

All of these clips have been turned into all sorts of bizarre videos and memes by netizens with wildly imaginative minds.

Paired with catchy background music like "Your background looks so fake" and "Far ahead," the effect is off the charts!

#The sweet potato grandpa who's so nervous he's rambling#

#MostEatingMukbangVideoOfTheYear#

#I declare that he is the nation's honest man#

These topics spread like wildfire across major short video platforms.

The total number of views across the entire network exceeded 100 million in just one day!

Uncle Jiang Jianguo, an honest farmer who spent his whole life working the land, unexpectedly became a well-known "internet celebrity" - the Sweet Potato Grandpa.

The direct consequence of this was that when the uncle walked through the town's market again, the scene completely changed.

"Hey! Aren't you that sweet potato grandpa?"

A young woman ran over excitedly, holding up her phone.

"Sir! I love watching your live stream! Can I take a picture with you?"

"Huh? I..."

Jiang Jianguo was startled by the scene, his old face turned red, and he nervously waved his hands.

"Girl, you've mistaken me for someone else. I... I'm not some kind of old man..."

The more uneasy and honest he seemed, the more netizens liked him.

More and more people gathered around, taking pictures of him and greeting him all at once.

Jiang Jianguo had never been surrounded by so many people in his life, and he was so frightened that he fled in panic.

When he got home, he told his wife, Liu Cuifen, about it.

At first, Liu Cuifen was full of jealousy and said sarcastically that he was "an old lewd man who goes out and shows his face in public."

But when she secretly used her phone to search for those videos and saw thousands of comments praising her husband as "cute" and "simple," she was shocked.

Liu Cuifen's attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn!

She looked at her usually useless and incompetent husband, and her eyes changed.

That look in his eyes was as if he were looking at a money tree!

That evening, Jiang Jianguo received unprecedented treatment, like an emperor.

"Jianguo, you must be tired after a long day. Come on, have some of the herbal tea I made for you to soothe your throat, you'll need it for tomorrow's live stream!"

"Jianguo, come here, let me massage your shoulders and legs. These are all heroes of our family!"

Liu Cuifen's overly solicitous manner gave Jiang Jianguo goosebumps.

He always felt that his wife, who had been unruly her whole life, must have taken some kind of wrong medicine.

Jiang Chen watched all this with immense joy.

He struck while the iron was hot and directly registered official Douyin accounts for his uncle Jiang Jianguo and Wang Dagou in the company's name, and completed real-name authentication.

The account names are 【Jiangjiacun-Sweet Potato Grandpa】 and 【Jiangjiacun-Guardian Da Gou】.

Then, Jiang Chen convened a meeting of the entire village and made the announcement in front of everyone.

All proceeds from live-streaming e-commerce, after deducting costs, will be 30% directly deposited into the public account of the "Jiangjia Village Collective Tourism Cooperative"!

The money is used to pay pensions to the elderly in the village, to provide scholarships for school children, and to cover the daily maintenance of the village!

The moment this decision was announced, the entire Jiangjia Village was in an uproar once again!

This means that the interests of everyone in the village are closely tied to this live-streaming room and the "Sweet Potato Grandpa" IP!

From then on, Jiangjia Village's agricultural products no longer had to worry about finding a market!

No matter what they grow or raise, as long as the produce is good enough, Jiang Chen can turn it into real money and put it into everyone's pocket!

The village was filled with laughter and joy.

Young people are working hard in logistics companies and cooperatives, and everyone's face is full of hope for the future.

However, behind this hustle and bustle, Jiang Chen keenly noticed a problem that had been overlooked.

The elderly people in the village who are too old and have difficulty walking are unable to participate in heavy physical labor such as packing and setting up stalls.

For example, his grandfather, Jiang Wanshan.

That afternoon, Jiang Chen saw his grandfather sitting alone under the old locust tree, leaning on his cane.

He was still clutching the old-fashioned mobile phone that Jiang Chen had bought for him a long time ago.

Not far away, several old men of his generation were gathered together, looking at his second uncle's newly bought smartphone.

On the phone, colorful short videos were playing, accompanied by funny music and laughter.

"Hahaha! This chubby little boy's dancing is hilarious!"

"Look, look! This can even change its face!"

The elderly people laughed so hard they were doubled over, their faces full of wonder.

Grandpa Jiang Wanshan also craned his neck, looking on curiously with envy in his eyes.

He saw something funny and wanted to laugh along, but soon his gaze returned to the old-fashioned mobile phone in his hand, which could only make calls and send text messages.

When Jiang Chen saw this scene, he felt as if something had stabbed him hard in the heart.

Looking at his grandfather's somewhat hunched and lonely back, Jiang Chen secretly made up his mind.

He said something to himself, to the system, and to himself.

"Tongzi, for the next round of spending, we won't be focusing on food or clothing."

"Let's... implement some high-tech elderly care!"
