AITFYMIBP Chapter 62

TL: Hua

After saying that to Wang Zhen, Lin Yanran really did start wandering around.

However, he wasn’t just aimlessly wandering by himself.

He was with Secretary Ji.

Compared to the clearly defined missions of the other guests, Lin Yanran’s mission seemed very vague.

Of course, while the mission did appear ordinary, it was actually preparation specifically for promoting Xiangning Village.

Zhang Shanfeng’s idea is to compile a video from the perspective of the guest who drew this mission, showing his day in Xiangning Village, and ultimately achieving the goal of promoting this small mountain village.

So, after the other guests left, Zhang Shanfeng gave Lin Yanran some hints.

He suggested Lin Yanran wander around the village more, taking the camera crew to film the beautiful scenery and things in the mountain village.

Through his perspective, they could indirectly showcase the leisurely life of the villagers.

Because he was tasked with promoting Xiangning Village, Village Secretary Ji chose to follow Lin Yanran, hoping to provide some explanations at key locations to help everyone better understand the village.

Understanding the production team’s intention, Lin Yanran began to stroll through the mountains with Secretary Ji.

The two originally planned to go up the mountain to film the scenery first, but they encountered Grandma Sun halfway.

“Teacher Yanran, do you have a new mission?”

Lin Yanran smiled and nodded. “Yes, I do.”

Afterward, seeing that she was carrying a large canvas bag and wearing gloves, he asked her, “Grandma, are you going to do some work?”

Grandma Sun enthusiastically pointed to the Papagan Mandarins patch on the adjacent hillside and nodded, “Going to help pick the mandarins. A buyer is coming to collect them today, so we’re going to help out. If we miss this time, it’ll be even harder to sell them later.”

Lin Yanran was a bit confused after hearing this. “Are Papagan mandarins hard to sell?”

Seeing Lin Yanran’s confusion, Secretary Ji began to explain the situation of the mandarins in the village.

“About five or six years ago, the price of Papagan mandarins was very high. The selling price from our village fruit farmers could go up to six or seven yuan. But the high price that year attracted many people to plant them, and every bit of land on the mountainsides was contracted out and planted. With such rampant planting, the price has naturally dropped over the last two years.”

Secretary Ji sighed after finishing, “Actually, there’s nothing wrong with healthy competition in planting Papagan mandarins, but because our village follows a pure, natural, and pollution-free food route, the villagers’ mandarins haven’t been treated with saccharin or growth accelerators. The buyers who come to collect them think that our early batches aren’t sweet enough, so they’re not easy to sell on the market, which is why they’re hesitant to come and buy.”

Hearing Secretary Ji say they haven’t been treated with saccharin, Lin Yanran recalled the fruit the old man, Grandpa An, had given him yesterday when he helped him pick mandarins.

It was indeed not as sweet as the ones on the market, but you could taste the original flavor of the Papagan Mandarin, sweet yet with a slight tartness—it was the taste of eating citrus when he was a child.

Lin Yanran nodded after understanding the situation. “But as a consumer, I personally would choose fruit without saccharin. It’s not only tastier but also healthier.”

Secretary Ji gave Lin Yanran a thumbs-up gesture.

“That means you know quality.”

Afterward, he led Lin Yanran to follow Grandma Sun’s steps toward the area where everyone was picking mandarins today.

“But the buyers don’t care about that; they just need the sweet fruit that the market demands. Some of the buyers we used to work with often no longer come, and those who are willing to collect them are pushing the prices very low. The elderly and the young in our village don’t have many other ways to make money, so they rely on these agricultural products as their economic backbone.”

As Secretary Ji was speaking, the two arrived at an orchard halfway up the mountain.

Lin Yanran noticed many familiar faces he had seen yesterday were here picking Papagan mandarins together.

The older people in the village were wearing gloves and were responsible for picking the fruit.

The slightly younger grandpas, in their fifties and sixties, would carry a large basket full of fruit on their backs and transport it down the mountain.

Lin Yanran saw the grandpa who had delivered ingredients to him yesterday carrying a basket.

As the man took a step, because the fruit on his back was too heavy, his foot slipped and he lost his balance, almost falling.

Seeing this, Lin Yanran quickly jogged over to support him.

Secretary Ji also came down into the field and, together with Lin Yanran, helped lift the large basket.

“Thank you!” The grandpa smiled heartily and carried the large basket down the mountain.

Lin Yanran looked at his hand.

He clearly felt the heavy weight with that lift, and he couldn’t describe the feeling in his heart.

“This back basket isn’t light.”

Hearing Lin Yanran’s words, Secretary Ji smiled and picked a fruit for him.

“It isn’t light. They carry almost five hundred kilograms in one hour, one trip after another.”

Hearing that number, Lin Yanran felt his heart jump.

But Secretary Ji’s next words shocked him even more.

“Don’t let our villagers’ age fool you; they are very quick workers. Together, they can pick twelve thousand to eighteen thousand kilograms in a day.”

After saying that, he smiled and said, “Large-scale growers in other places hire people to pick the fruit. The labor cost is very high, with each person costing 200 to 300 yuan a day.”

Secretary Ji pointed to the villagers in the field and said proudly, “But we don’t need that in our village. Everyone are neighbors helping each other. We just share a meal after the picking is done. This saves a huge amount in labor costs, which is why the buyers can press the price so low, and everyone can still sell.”

Listening to Secretary Ji, Lin Yanran glanced at the gray-haired elderly people busy working in the field.

These seniors, nearly seventy years old, were quick on their feet. Some carried canvas bags, others carried baskets, swiftly clipping the Papagan mandarins.

The elderly man carrying the large back basket down the mountain was slow, even a little shaky, in his steps.

Though the load was heavy, his face was beaming with a joyful smile, and he even muttered, “Finally, a buyer has come to collect them.”

Watching this group of seniors who clung to their principles, living such hardworking yet positive lives, Lin Yanran couldn’t help but be moved.

However, Secretary Ji had told him earlier that only two buyers had come this year, each collecting eighteen thousand kilograms.

The remaining Papagan mandarins currently had no buyers willing to collect them.

Lin Yanran looked at the mandarins and had an idea, but he first asked Secretary Ji, “Are there no other channels besides buyers coming to collect?”

Secretary Ji shook his head. “There are, yes. Isn’t it popular now to sell through Moments and live streams? But everyone has posted on their Moments, and I even started a live stream in the evening, but the sales are just average. We have so many households in the entire village; my limited channels can’t sell for everyone.”

Lin Yanran was surprised to hear the one method he had been considering mentioned by Secretary Ji, and he quickly asked, “You still live stream at night?”

Secretary Ji nodded but then looked a little embarrassed. “Yes, I sell some of our village’s agricultural products, like local eggs, but the effect isn’t great. I usually stream until 1 a.m., and the sales are only a dozen orders, mostly supported by acquaintances…”

Hearing Secretary Ji, Lin Yanran suddenly remembered a news story he had seen somewhere about a village secretary who, to help the village escape poverty and become prosperous, would consistently live stream until midnight every night to sell local agricultural products.

He recalled that many netizens were very moved upon seeing that.

But in fact, there was more than just that one secretary.

“Grandma, are you back?”

Secretary Ji’s voice pulled Lin Yanran’s thoughts back to reality.

He followed Secretary Ji’s gaze and saw an eighty-year-old grandmother from the village passing by on a tricycle.

The grandma smiled. “Didn’t sell all the vegetables, so I’m heading back.”

Hearing this, Secretary Ji quickly ran over to her and packed up all the vegetables in her tricycle. “Sell them to me. I just happened to not have any vegetables for lunch today.”

The grandma waved her hand, clearly seeing through Secretary Ji’s good intentions. “Where will you eat all of that?”

Secretary Ji pointed to the production team staff behind him. “With so many guests, we can eat it all.”

Then, he took money out of his pocket.

The grandma only accepted ten yuan for the entire cartload of fresh vegetables.

Secretary Ji showed the vegetables in his hand to Lin Yanran and gave a helpless smile. “It’s the same with our village’s vegetables; they’re not sprayed with pesticides, so they either have bug holes or don’t look appealing. The grandmas can’t compete with the vendors in the market.”

Just as Lin Yanran was thinking about this, Zhang Shanfeng’s voice came through his earpiece.

“The ‘Day in the Life of an Ordinary Person’ mission sub-task: You can help the villagers pick and transport the Papagan mandarins, you can negotiate the purchase price with the buyers, or you can help the villagers sell agricultural products in the market. The key is to highlight the difficulties of the villagers’ lives.”

Lin Yanran didn’t answer immediately after hearing the mission. Instead, he said to Secretary Ji, “Secretary Ji, please wait for me for a moment.”

Then he immediately replied to Zhang Shanfeng.

“Director Zhang, I’d like to use my special privilege.”

Zhang Shanfeng instantly became alert. “What are you planning to do…”

“Nothing.” Lin Yanran smiled. “I just want to borrow Secretary Ji’s live stream channel.”

Zhang Shanfeng immediately guessed Lin Yanran’s intention.

He wanted to use the live stream to help the villagers sell their agricultural products! ! !

In fact, the production team had initially considered using the influence of the celebrities to help the villagers sell their agricultural products. They had even contacted a top online influencer, wanting to invite her to co-host the sales with the celebrities.

However, recent live stream sales involving influencers have repeatedly run into problems, and now everyone is extremely sensitive about celebrity endorsement sales. A slight mistake could lead to abuse from uninformed netizens, so the production team had abandoned the idea.

But Zhang Shanfeng had overheard the conversation between Secretary Ji and Lin Yanran. Looking at the hard-working villagers in the fields and thinking about the thousands of kilograms of mandarins, he couldn’t bring himself to stop him.

“This is your special privilege, and you can certainly use it. If you’ve thought it through, go ahead and start it.”

Lin Yanran understood Zhang Shanfeng’s meaning and said, “Thank you, Director Zhang.”

After receiving the production team’s tacit approval, Lin Yanran and Secretary Ji started arranging the live stream.

Secretary Ji was incredibly surprised and delighted to hear that a big celebrity was willing to help their village sell agricultural products via live stream. He quickly rushed home to turn on his computer and phone to assist Lin Yanran.

However, Lin Yanran did not let him start the live stream immediately.

Instead, after telling Secretary Ji about his plans for the live stream, he logged into his Weibo account on the other party’s computer and shared Secretary Ji’s live stream.

Yanran: Tonight at 10 p.m., let’s experience a day in the life of an ordinary village official together.

When fans saw Lin Yanran suddenly post a Weibo, they immediately clicked on the link.

However, after clicking in, everyone discovered that the account’s name was “Secretary Ji, who sells goods at midnight.”

And clicking into his homepage, they found that the account had even opened a product showcase, with purchase links for various agricultural products inside.

[Was his account hacked?]

[What is going on??]

[Why is this live stream account selling agricultural products?]

[Has Yanran changed careers??]

Initially, everyone was just confused and worried that Lin Yanran’s account had been hacked.

But as time passed, more and more people learned about the Weibo post, and many passersby and haters also flocked to watch.

Then, after realizing the style of the live stream channel, these people began to relentlessly criticize him.

[Is Yanran going to start live streaming sales??]

[No way, how many people have messed up with live commerce lately? Influencers are laying low, and Yanran is still doing this? He’s too late to catch the bandwagon.]

[To be honest, it’s so low for a celebrity like Yanran to do live stream sales…]

[He only just got famous, didn’t he? Is he already resorting to live stream selling?]

[It seems the universal career path is live streaming. Yanran is no exception.]

[They must have offered a lot of money. Yanran is poor and easily swayed by money—his image holds true!]

[Low low low!! So low!!]

Lin Yanran had never been a streamer or sold goods before. Now, suddenly using his influence to help Xiangning Village sell agricultural products, he didn’t feel completely confident.

So he first started with a warm-up on Weibo to avoid having no one watch when he started streaming.

However, the consequence of simply posting the link without explanation was now becoming clear.

Because of the information gap, everyone was unaware of his true intention. As a result, the people in the fan circle started fiercely criticizing him on Weibo and in Secretary Ji’s pre-live stream black screen, saying he was selling out for trash money and was “totally low.”

“Brother, shouldn’t you clarify things first? I feel like everyone has misunderstood you.”

Assistant Xiao Wang was monitoring the online public opinion in real time. Seeing everyone cursing Lin Yanran, he couldn’t help but feel worried.

Zhang Shanfeng, who usually only cared about ratings and sensational topics, also joined Xiao Wang in advising Lin Yanran after seeing people repeatedly call him “low.” “Do you want to disclose something in advance?”

Lin Yanran looked at the comments on the screen and shook his head. “It’s fine. It will naturally be clarified once the broadcast starts.”

He didn’t say the last sentence.

Being criticized is also a way to generate buzz; it can quickly attract attention.

Sure enough, the haters helped him spread the word, going from one to ten and ten to a hundred, acting more effectively than paid water armies.

Before long, they had helped him attract many curious bystanders to Secretary Ji’s live stream room.

By the time the broadcast officially started at ten o’clock, the number of online viewers in the live room had reached nearly 200,000, and the overall popularity was close to one million.

Lin Yanran picked up Secretary Ji’s phone, walked up to the camera, and smiled, waving to everyone.

“Hello everyone, and welcome to the live stream. Next, we will follow Secretary Ji’s perspective to experience what it’s like to be a Village Party Secretary in Xiangning Village for one day.”

As soon as Lin Yanran spoke, the comments section was filled with mockery.

[I don’t know what it’s like to be a Village Secretary, but I can see you live-streaming a sale.]

[A decent traffic star—how badly must he be doing to come and sell goods?]

[Haters, get lost! Didn’t you hear Yanran say Xiangning Village? He’s clearly still filming a show, alright?]

[Filming a show and also live-streaming? Are you kidding me??]

[Who cares what it is, why don’t we just watch and see?]

Lin Yanran ignored the comments. After saying his piece, he turned the camera to focus on Secretary Ji.

“Hello everyone, I am the Party Secretary of Xiangning Village, Ji Feng.”

[Hahaha, the secretary’s name is so funny, Ji Feng (Monsoon). I’m Yang Liu (Ocean Current)]

[Secretary, Secretary, are you the summer monsoon, or the winter monsoon?]

Secretary Ji didn’t see everyone teasing his name.

However, he had encountered these questions in previous live streams, so after introducing himself, he also joked about it, “I was born in the summer, so I should be the summer monsoon.”

[Hahahaha, the Secretary is so humorous]

[Aren’t you supposed to be selling goods? Why are both of them walking out??]

Sure enough, in the video frame, after Lin Yanran and Secretary Ji finished their introductions, they started walking out.

A moment later, Lin Yanran slightly turned the camera toward his own face to explain to everyone, “Because I’m going to experience a day of Secretary Ji’s work, the content of our live stream will be related to his work.”

After saying this, Lin Yanran asked Secretary Ji, who was walking ahead, “Secretary Ji, where are you going now?”

Secretary Ji pointed to the terraced fields halfway up the mountain, “The tea garden, probably.”

The haters who rushed in to mindlessly curse Lin Yanran were stunned when they saw the live stream content and heard the conversation between the two.

[What kind of trick is this?]

[I got my hopes up and you tell me you’re not selling goods???]

[What tea garden??]

Lin Yanran noticed the content in the comments but smiled and clarified, “We are going to sell, but what we sell and whether everyone wants to buy, I welcome you to decide after watching the live stream content.”

After Lin Yanran said this, the haters were delighted, and they stayed in the live stream, mocking him incessantly.

However, although these people were quite annoying, many fans and passersby still clicked in.

In particular, some viewers of Incredible Journey, upon learning that Lin Yanran was live streaming, watched it as a variety show live stream, regardless of whether he was selling goods or not.

Before long, everyone followed the camera and saw Lin Yanran and Secretary Ji arrive at the tea garden on the mountainside.

And as luck would have it, they ran into Cao Zhengpeng, who was helping the villagers pick tea leaves here!

Cao Zhengpeng was picking tea leaves with the others. When he saw Lin Yanran, he immediately and excitedly showed him the fresh tea leaves he had picked.

Lin Yanran picked up a tender green tea leaf and sniffed it at his nose. “It has a fresh fragrance.”

Afterward, he turned the camera to the entire mountain’s tea leaves so the audience could see.

The audience then saw tea trees growing exceptionally well, covering the mountains and fields.

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhengpeng took the initiative to introduce what he knew to Lin Yanran. “Yes, it’s very fragrant. And the tea they drink here is stir-fried from the leaves they pick themselves. We’re going back to stir-fry the tea leaves now.”

Cao Zhengpeng’s words made the audience even more eager.

Subsequently, the group followed the tea-picking aunties back home.

The auntie poured the washed tea leaves into a large wok and began to stir-fry them back and forth.

Cao Zhengpeng was intrigued and went to try it as well.

After stir-frying for a few minutes, his arms ached from the effort. “This stuff doesn’t look like much, but it’s quite tiring.”

Secretary Ji smiled and took the spatula from his hand. “It is quite tiring, so several people have to take turns, but it’s all-natural. And the people in our village have drunk the tea they grow themselves since childhood, so they are used to stir-frying.”

Many of the audience members in the comments had never seen tea leaves being stir-fried.

Hearing the two men talk, they were incredibly tempted.

[Wow, so this is how tea leaves are made. I thought it was done by machines]

[Of course there is machine-made tea, but this one from Xiangning Village is handmade, it’s different]

[Secretary Ji said they drink tea they stir-fry themselves from childhood. I’m so envious]

[I really want a sip]

[Wait a minute, I see tea leaves for sale in Secretary Ji’s showcase! It’s labeled as Xiangning Village specialty. Could it be this handmade tea!]

[Holy moly, sisters, is it actually for sale? I’m going to place an order right away!]

Those who were already tempted rushed to flood the live stream with comments.

[Where is the showcase? It’s my first time watching this live stream, I can’t find it. Can you just post the link directly in the live stream!]

[I really want the one Secretary Ji is stir-frying right now… Can it be sold?]

Lin Yanran saw the comments and deliberately asked Secretary Ji, “Secretary Ji, everyone is asking if the tea you are stir-frying now is for sale.”

Secretary Ji, who hadn’t been looking at the live stream, was a little confused. “Ah? Yes, it is, but this still needs to be stir-fried for two or three hours, so it can’t be sold right now.”

After saying this, Secretary Ji felt that saying it this way might disappoint everyone, so he added, “If everyone wants to buy, you can actually buy the link in my showcase. We ship fresh tea leaves every day, and they are the same as this.”

[But the one hundred units in your showcase have already been snapped up!]

“They said those one hundred units have been snapped up.”

Secretary Ji was confused again.

Sold out that fast??

He had been selling for a long time before and only managed to sell about ten units, and now they are all sold out right after the live stream started??

Secretary Ji looked at Lin Yanran and asked him, “What should we do?”

Lin Yanran shook his head. “It’s okay, let’s go check out other things.”

[????]

[No! I want to keep watching the tea being stir-fried!]

[What the heck?? Yanran, is this how you sell goods????]

[The tea is sold out and you’re not restocking. God, ‘let’s go check out other things,’ I’m dying of laughter]

[Honestly, the stock for this sale is way too little, just a hundred units? How much commission can you even make?]

After leaving the auntie’s house, Lin Yanran and Secretary Ji went to visit an elderly person living alone.

The elderly people in Xiangning Village are all in very good health. Although this person lives alone, they have planted all kinds of vegetables in the field in front of their door.

Lin Yanran and Secretary Ji helped the elder pull weeds from the field together.

“The vegetables in the village are not treated with pesticides; they are all-natural.”

After saying this, Lin Yanran pulled up a large red carrot, went back to the elder’s house, washed it with water, and took a big bite.

“So sweet!”

Just as he finished speaking, he saw a group of free-range chickens at his feet.

A hen was squatting motionless in a pile of grass.

Secretary Ji reminded Lin Yanran, “It laid an egg.”

He then pulled out a large, round egg from under the hen.

Lin Yanran took it with both hands, his eyes shining with surprise. “This egg is still warm! It’s a free-range egg, right? We’ll eat this for lunch today.”

“Yes, it’s a free-range egg. I’ll take you to see what our mountain chickens look like.”

After saying that, Secretary Ji greeted the elder and took Lin Yanran to visit other homes.

The audience in the live stream then saw that the chickens, ducks, and even geese on the mountain were all running around freely, occasionally lowering their heads to eat bugs on the ground.

[This is truly free-range mountain chicken]

[Ooh, I love these free-range eggs so much]

[That warm egg just now, it looks so fresh]

[I saw it yesterday when I watched the work experience segment on the show. The chickens in this village are really all-natural, free-range mountain chickens, not farmed]

[I’m totally sold on that carrot just now too]

[I feel like everything in Xiangning Village is all-natural. The food must be very healthy]

[It must be very healthy. The elders in the village look very robust, which must be related to the environment and the food]

[Hey, why are the free-range eggs in the showcase also sold out??]

[Yanran, post the link, post the link! What kind of sales method is this, only a hundred units every time!!!]

[Are these chickens for sale? I want to buy them…]

[Sisters, don’t say I didn’t remind you, there are only Papagan mandarins left in the showcase right now…]

Lin Yanran didn’t deliberately try to sell products in the live stream, yet the audience members were one by one begging him to put up the purchasing links.

Soon, the popularity of his live stream exceeded five million, and the number of concurrent viewers also soared. The few items in Secretary Ji’s display window were sold out long ago.

However, despite this, Lin Yanran still had no intention of adding any more links. Instead, he used the fresh vegetables and eggs he had gathered that morning from the elder’s home to cook lunch.

Afterward, he brewed a cup of afternoon tea using the tea that Cao Zhengpeng and the others had finished processing.

After sitting comfortably on the mountain and broadcasting the mountain village scenery for a while, he finally went with Secretary Ji to the place where everyone had picked Papagan mandarins previously.

Not all viewers in the live stream had watched yesterday’s broadcast of “Incredible Journey.”

So, seeing the fruit trees spread all over the mountainside for the first time was quite a shock.

However, what shocked them even more was the sight of the villagers picking Papagan mandarins.

Watching the elderly villagers work with full vigor, picking and manually hauling the fruit with clenched teeth, everyone felt both a pang of sadness and a sense of inspiration.

Lin Yanran focused the camera on the sweat on the faces of the elders, then picked a Papagan mandarin and peeled it open.

He showed the bright orange and plump fruit segments to the audience and then took a bite himself.

“It’s a pure, natural fruit flavor—the taste of childhood, with no chemical additives.”

After speaking, he introduced the product to everyone: “These fruit trees were planted by the villagers themselves. Because they adhere to the principle of being pure, natural, and pollution-free, they haven’t been treated with cyclamates or growth hormones.”

Immediately, someone in the live stream asked, [What is cyclamate?]

“It’s what makes the fruit sweeter.”

After answering, he explained the situation Secretary Ji had described that morning.

“The New Year is coming soon. The villagers have worked hard all year. It would be a great pity if these fruits were eliminated by the market and couldn’t be sold just because the villagers didn’t resort to fakery. The Papagan mandarins here are all-natural, much cheaper than the market price, high quality, and affordable. If you want to try it, I hope you can place an order to help them.”

After a full day of preparation, Lin Yanran finally got to the point.

The audience watching the live stream finally understood the purpose of his sudden broadcast today.

It was to launch an agricultural aid effort to help the villagers of Xiangning Village have a good New Year!

The haters, seeing the tide turning, tried to seize the moment Lin Yanran was advertising the Papagan Mandarins to criticize him fiercely.

But they were immediately shut down by the audience.

[Haters, scram! They’re helping farmers, and you still have to criticize? Do you have no heart?]

[Wuwuwu, I’m sorry, I criticized you before. You’re not low; you’re amazing.]

[My family also does a similar fruit business. Honestly, fruit farmers who don’t use cyclamates or growth hormones are truly conscientious. Everyone, feel free to buy.]

[I’ve been craving this Papagan Mandarin since yesterday. I still remember the conversation between Yanran and the elder. It’s truly all-natural and hasn’t had any of that sweet stuff added.]

[Wuwuwu, Yanran baby, you’re truly wonderful… Thank you for letting me know about such a small mountain village and such a good secretary.]

[Quickly put up the link! I can’t wait to buy the Papagan Mandarins.]

[Remember to put up the links for the free-range eggs, tea, and vegetables as well.]

Seeing everyone’s request, Secretary Ji quickly discussed it with Lin Yanran.

“How many units should we put up?”

“Is a thousand units too many?”

Lin Yanran wasn’t sure either, so he nodded. “Let’s put up a thousand units and see.”

As soon as those thousand units went up, they were gone in seconds.

??????

Secretary Ji looked completely bewildered.

“That fast??”

Lin Yanran hadn’t expected it to be so fast either.

[Are you guys devils?]

[How many years have you been single to have that kind of hand speed?]

[Your internet speed must be 24G.]

[I just clicked it open and it was already sold out…]

[Didn’t manage to grab any. Can you put up more?]

“How about we put up ten thousand units?”

Seeing the audience’s strong purchasing power, Lin Yanran suggested.

Secretary Ji and the others quickly put up the link, and those ten thousand units also sold out instantly…

Secretary Ji & the Villagers: Is this the influence of a celebrity?! It’s too strong!

Later, at everyone’s strong request, the link was put up a few more times.

In the end, in one afternoon, Lin Yanran successfully helped Xiangning Village sell 50,000 kilograms of Papagan mandarins and a certain amount of other agricultural products.

This was even after they had intentionally controlled the sales volume, fearing that they wouldn’t be able to ship the Papagan mandarins in time due to the time required for picking and that everyone would have to wait too long.

Otherwise, the final sales volume could have been even higher.

When the villagers heard this news, they were all overjoyed.

They immediately surrounded Lin Yanran, thanking him profusely.

That evening, the small cottage was once again filled with various agricultural products sent by the enthusiastic villagers.

This time, it included not only vegetables, fruits, and meat but also chickens, ducks, fish, and geese…

The guests who returned after completing their tasks looked bewildered at the visibly increased amount of ingredients in the cottage.

Gao Zitai almost subconsciously said, “Yanran went all out again??”

However, the happiest person in the production team was undoubtedly Zhang Shanfeng.

Today, Lin Yanran not only helped the villagers sell their agricultural products but also highlighted the task he had been given.

A day in the life of an ordinary person = A day in the life of an ordinary village party secretary.

Using Secretary Ji’s perspective to connect and promote the entire Xiangning Village was much more interesting than the promotion task he had originally designed for Lin Yanran.

“Congratulations to everyone for successfully completing today’s task. And so, this episode of ‘Incredible Journey’ is about to come to an end.”

Zhang Shanfeng stood in front of everyone, happily announcing the news of the impending end.

“However, before concluding, we have prepared a surprise box for everyone. Inside are ‘Wish Cards’ and ‘Task Cards.’ I wonder if anyone would like to give it a try.”

Generally speaking, the guests were usually reluctant to try the surprise box arranged by Zhang Shanfeng.

But Zhang Shanfeng’s eyes were so full of anticipation that the kindest-hearted, Ye An, couldn’t bear to refuse and stepped forward to draw one.

And he drew a Wish Card.

Seeing Ye An’s good start, the other guests also drew cards in succession, all of which were Wish Cards. Although the contents were different, none of them were tricky.

Wang Zhen also drew a Wish Card. His was the most special, stating that he could invite a friend to visit in the next episode.

He was beaming with joy when he heard this and asked Zhang Shanfeng, “Anyone at all? No requirements?”

Zhang Shanfeng nodded, promising, “As long as the person is willing, anyone can come.”

The last one to draw a card was Lin Yanran.

He was initially prepared to draw a Wish Card himself.

But unexpectedly, what he drew was a task card.

The task card contained this mission:

Please immediately call the artist friend you have contacted most recently.
