Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Who Exactly is the Top Supporter?

On Jiang Xiangwan’s side, things were progressing smoothly.

Not only smoothly, but she could finally eat jujubes openly.

As she gnawed on candied jujubes, she answered questions from the chat:

"Hmm? You asked if these candied jujubes are too sweet? Not at all. I’ve eaten so many and I still don’t find them too sweet, but they are really sweet, a delight for sweet tooth lovers."

"Which kind tastes better? I prefer this dried type, it’s totally like a small snack. Let me eat one and show you."

"Want to see amber jujubes? Um, hold on, let me finish the one in my hand first."

Just as Jiang Xiangwan finished speaking and opened a sealed jar to scoop out a spoonful of candied jujubes, she received a call from her agent.

She turned on the speakerphone, and a roar immediately sounded: "Jiang Xiangwan! Can you eat a little less? How come you never listen when I tell you to manage your figure? Have you forgotten you’re a female idol? Look at which female guest... no, which guest eats like you?!!"

That shout left Jiang Xiangwan completely bewildered.

[Hahahahaha, Wanwan got caught sneaking food again, so unlucky!]

[They even emphasized it’s not just female guests, all guests, none can eat like Wanwan does, haha!]

[So funny, other guests do livestream commerce, Wanwan does eating broadcasts. Must taste really good, placing an order!]

In the livestream room, viewers saw Jiang Xiangwan getting scolded and started placing orders.

The agent’s call maximized the variety show effect.

Jiang Xiangwan had to quietly put down the jar and secretly stuffed the scooped jujube into her mouth.

Fans saw her looking all pitiful and felt both sympathetic and amused, comforting her and buying jujubes for her while placing orders.

Meanwhile, Gu Zhi had the villagers lead her to a certain place in the village.

After the livestream equipment was set up, the audience could see the background behind Gu Zhi.

It was a very dilapidated place, with a wide river channel to the left rear but only a long-neglected dangerous bridge that could only accommodate one person at a time.

To the right rear were messy bushes and a few small rundown houses connected together, an elderly person was living alone and washing something at the doorstep.

The viewers were all somewhat stunned seeing this scene.

Gu Zhi didn’t say much, just calmly said, "Do as you see fit, do your best."

[??? Hahaha is it really this straightforward and blunt?]

[So funny, the meaning is very obvious, this place needs poverty alleviation, quickly place an order! Gu Zhi, the country’s poverty alleviation needs you!]

[Already ordered, but indeed very backward, it’s the year 3202 and there’s still a bridge like this? Does that elderly person live alone?]

"Yes, due to geographical reasons, local development isn’t good, and the unique food can’t be promoted either." Gu Zhi saw the comments and explained, "The young people in the village have left their hometowns to make a living, leaving behind the elderly to stay in their old homes. Naturally, there’s no labor to repair the old bridge."

"The candied jujubes we picked and made yesterday include a share from this elderly person too, and today’s sales revenue will include her income. So, I really hope to use this opportunity to recommend the hometown’s specialties and let more people know about them.

However, I hope everyone can consume rationally, don’t blindly order just for the sales volume. If you buy too much or it doesn’t suit your taste, it’s a waste if you can’t finish it."

The reputation of Gu Zhi had only just begun to improve, and the fans’ purchasing power wasn’t strong.

But after people heard her say this, they started ordering one after another, some even reordered who had already ordered.

[Hahahahaha Gu Zhi, do you believe in what you are saying? I’ve already placed ten orders, waiting for delivery!]

[Zhi Zhi is right, but I’m not listening, is twenty orders of each kind enough? Should I consider ordering more green jujubes?]

Gu Zhi: "..."

She twitched a bit, speechless, "I’m serious, rational consumption, avoid..."

[Not listening, not listening, Zhi Zhi is chanting! If you keep talking, I’ll place twenty more orders!]

[Exactly, we young people can listen to anything but the word rational, hearing it makes us irrational... Thirty units ordered! I want all personally made by Zhi Zhi/ shy]

Gu Zhi: "...??"

What’s up with the netizens these days?

Gu Zhi was speechless, not wanting to talk anymore.

Gu Zhi turned to discuss with the staff, asking them to restock and set some purchase limits.

The moment the link was posted, it was almost instantly sold out, all bought by the same account.

So a tag popped up at the top of the chat: User 123456 placed an order for 2458 items a second ago!

Gu Zhi: ?

[???]

[Wow! Who’s this big shot, placing such a large order, even Zhi Zhi is bewildered!]

[Hahaha rolling in laughter, fans in the wife’s livestream room are such rebels, promoting rational consumption while ordering 2458 items in a second!]

[/crying so did I come too late, can’t buy the wife’s personally made jujubes now/teary]

Gu Zhi was really bewildered, not sure what was going on, she turned to the staff:

"See if this user placed the order by mistake?"

The staff were also puzzled, after waiting for a while and not receiving a cancellation, they had to proactively ask.

The reply they got was just four words: Just ship it.

The staff, too, were speechless, just assuring, "No worries, a client like this is probably buying for company welfare, we’ll keep an eye on it."

Gu Zhi nodded upon hearing this, not being able to say anything further.

Just said to the camera plainly, "Please don’t encourage impulsive buying, shop within your means..."

[Zhi Zhi, stop talking, haha, I fear if you keep going, someone might buy out your entire livestream!]

[Hahaha! But, who is the top buyer? Zhi Zhi’s fan? Why not come out and chat? I’m feeling a bit anxious folks... ]

[Heck, what’s going on! Couldn’t get anything in Han Bao’s livestream, came here to buy but it’s gone too?]

[? What do you mean up there? Doubting Little Zhilia’s buying power? Let’s go, folks, let’s go snatch from Han Liheng!]

Seeing the comments bickering over the rush to buy, Gu Zhi: "......"

Can’t convince, they’re really not persuadable.

Elsewhere, at Shiyu Film and Television Building.

Assistant Meng Chuan was filling in an address while placing an order, asking the man in front of him:

"By the way, Brother Qi, did you receive the purchase link sent by Vice President Qi? The one boosting sales for the little young master’s variety show."

The man raised his eyes at the mention, unhurriedly closing the livestream on his phone, saying, "I received it."

"Did you buy any?"

Qi Hanyu, in a calm tone: "...Bought some."

"You’re really quick, had I known, I wouldn’t have bought it." He said, just about to close the livestream, when he saw the app notification "Gu Zhi’s livestream sales" was instantly sold out, stunned for a moment, "Damn!"

Qi Hanyu frowned slightly: "What is it?"

"Nothing, just saw a piece of gossip, look, this is the female star living opposite you, she’s on a variety show with the young master selling goods too," Meng Chuan complained: "Sold out instantly, probably hired someone to boost it!"

"..." The man’s eyes darkened slightly, picking up a nearby document and tossing it to him: "This plan, redo it."

Meng Chuan: ?
