Chapter 1297: Acting Big

He checked the information online.

He discovered that Dongsan County was located at the border between Yuhang City and Yuezhou City in Zhejiang Province.

With a per capita annual income of 2,972 yuan, it was one of the few poor counties in the coastal area.

Lin Yi smacked his lips when he saw the number 2972.

It was a little ironic that his fruit for 5oog was sold for 3,000 yuan for 5oog, but the annual income here was only 2,972 yuan.

These guys were really too poor!

Holding the detailed description of the mission, Lin Yi looked at it again and prepared to take up the new position in the near future.

Lin Yi felt that this was quite a coincidence.

Yesterday, Xiao Bing had invited him to Yuhang City for an affair. Today, he had to go to Yuhang City for a mission.

He felt that the system was helping him.

Moreover, his fifth roommate seemed to be staying in Yuhang City.

He could go over and have a meal with her.

However, he did not know when he would be able to return from his trip to Yuhang City, so he could not keep the ginseng and lingzhi here anymore. He had to take them back and store them properly.

He might come to Happiness Village even less often in the future.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Just as Lin Yi was digging up the ginseng and lingzhi, the phone in his pocket rang. It was a video call from Liang Ruoxu.

In the video, Liang Ruoxu was wearing a white shirt. His hair was tied up, and her makeup was slightly mature.

However, the more he looked at her beautiful face, the more attractive she became.

“Where are you? Are you back?”

Lin Yi turned the camera around and filmed the scene in the greenhouse for Liang Ruoxu.

“I came back yesterday. I’m at Happiness Village. What’s wrong?”

“The head of Yuhang City called me and said that there’s a place called Dongsan County under them. There’s a new deputy director of the Poverty Alleviation Department who is also called Lin Yi. Could it be you?”

“Uh…” Lin Yi paused, “My name is so ordinary, how can you be sure that the person called Lin Yi is me?”

“You never play by the rules. You do whatever you want. This isn’t the craziest idea I’ve heard, so I called to confirm my information,” Liang Ruoxu said.

“Tell me first if it’s you.”

“Take a guess.”

“Cut the c.r.a.p and answer me.”

“How can you talk to Deputy Director Lin like that!”

“Huh?”

Liang Ruoxu was surprised for a moment. “It’s really you!”

“Since you already know about this, 1 have nothing to hide,” Lin Yi said.

“I’m laying my cards on the table. It’s me!”

“I knew it. You do everything but focus on your business.”

“What are you talking about? Firstly, I didn’t disrupt my earnings, and secondly, I didn’t delay my flirting. Am 1 not allowed to divert my excess energy?”

“Tsk, don’t try to argue with me.” Liang Ruoxu said.

“Tell me, what are you thinking? You have so much money that you can’t spend it all. Are you planning to go there to alleviate poverty? Doesn’t your corporation have a foundation? You don’t have to do this yourself, right?”

Lin Yi pursed his lips.

I also want to spend every day looking pretty, but the system won’t allow it!

“It’s better to teach people how to fish than to just give them the fish. The foundation hasn’t done enough, so I have to do it myself.”

“If that’s the case, I have some questions to ask.” Liang Ruoxu changed her posture and revealed a sincere expression.

“Even if you want to alleviate poverty, why didn’t you come to Zhonghai? 1 can understand even if you went to Yangcheng. Now, you are actually going to Yuhang City. What are you thinking? Did you meet a new girl there and are going there to fawn over her?”

‘Um…

‘This was f*cking arranged by the system!

‘I’m just a tool of the system. What’s the use of telling me this?!’

“Hey, you’re a comrade too. Why are you so narrow-minded? We’re all family in this country. We should help everyone,” Lin Yi said seriously.

“You’re too narrow-minded. You won’t be able to achieve much in the future.”

“You only know how to talk nonsense with me.” Liang Ruoxu rolled her eyes at Lin Yi.

“When will you be done? It’s ten past ten. If you’re not busy, come and have a meal with me.”

“No problem. Wait for me at the entrance of your compound at twelve noon.”

“Got it, but don’t stop at the main entrance. Just park on either side of the main entrance. Be mindful of the media.”

“Why are you so busy? Just wait.”

After hanging up on Liang Ruoxu, Lin Yi dug up the ginseng and lingzhi and carefully brought them to the car. He planned to find a box to store them in when he returned to Zhonghai.

However, Lin Yi was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he walked towards the filming location.

Since he was already here, he naturally had to greet Yan Ci.

When she walked over, he realized that the filming seemed to have stopped.

However, the situation at the scene did not seem to be calm. It was even a little chaotic.

“Miss Bai, the entire team is waiting for you now. Why did you stop filming just like that?”

Yan Ci was dressed the same as before. She looked very casual, but it could not hide her well-rounded and beautiful figure.

Under the sun umbrella sat a young woman in a pair of cropped pants and a light blue jacket.

She was wearing sungla.s.ses and holding a cold c.o.ke in her hand. Her a.s.sistant was even holding a small electric fan and fanning her.

Moreover, Zhang Heping and Gao Haoyu, who had been asked to help, were holding fans and fanning her.

She was the most carefree in the entire production team.

From the looks of it, she should be a guest of the program.

However, Lin Yi was a little puzzled. Zhao Shiqi should be the biggest star in this show. Could this person be even more impressive than her?

“I didn’t say that I wouldn’t record it, but the weather is too hot. Look at how tanned my skin is becoming.” The female celebrity said,

“Let’s record the show once the weather cools down.”

“In this month, only the evenings are cool, and the daytime work hasn’t been completed yet; this won’t do,” Yan Ci said.

“I feel it’s about the same; why nitpick? You can ask the editor to cut more or record more scenes with other cast members. We have more than enough time.”

“Miss Bai, you have to understand that when filming a variety show, the more scenes there are, the more exposure there will be. Do you want me to only record other people?”

“I know that, but the weather is too hot. 1 really can’t stand it.” The female celebrity said,

“If this continues, my skin will turn completely black. 1 won’t be able to act in my next movie.”

Yan Ci rubbed his temples angrily, revealing an annoyed expression.

“Alan, you’re her manager. 1 hope you can talk to her. Why doesn’t she have the most basic professionalism?”

The man named Alan shrugged.

“I don’t think this is a problem. It’s not that we don’t want to partic.i.p.ate. It’s just that the conditions are too harsh. How can we keep filming under such harsh sunlight?”

“But everyone else is being filmed. She can’t act special here, right?” Yan Ci was a little angry, and her words were not very polite.

“Mr Li and Mr Zhang are both over fifty years old, and their physical condition is not as good as that of young people. Even in such hot weather, they still persist in recording programs. Why can’t you do the same?”

“How can you consider us the same?” The woman retorted,

“Now is the era of popularity, and people like them have long been eliminated. If it weren’t for coming here to join this programs, they might struggle to earn a living. Naturally, they have to work hard.. Can they compare with me?”
