After that, not only the village chief, but everyone else also received gifts from other villagers.
Most of the gifts were homemade cured meat and fish, along with some locally grown fruits. They sent them almost everything that could be called a local specialty, and the bags and packages piled up on the platform in front of the small house.
Everyone was deeply moved.
"When I get back, I'll see if there are any local specialties around my house and send some to everyone," Xue Ranran said softly, holding her almost invisible younger brother's hand while leaning on Qin Yue's shoulder.
Qin Yue gave a soft "hmm," but her gaze was fixed on Xia Zhiyi, who was being held by the old man's hands and told something in Xia Zhiyi.
Qin Yue thought to herself, "Rather than saying that everyone sent so many things because they like us, it's more likely that everyone likes Xia Zhiyi."
Although it was only a little over ten days, Xia Zhiyi helped these villagers a lot during that time.
He was naturally pleasing to the eye and had a good personality. He could greet anyone with a smile and was always ready to help. He was observant and would immediately step in to assist anyone who needed help. Qin Yue alone had witnessed this several times.
It's worth noting that among the five guests, Qin Yue went out the least because of her assigned tasks. She spent most of her time in and around the cabin and didn't go out much.
Of course, Qin Yue wouldn't tell others that the main reason she didn't go out was because she wasn't used to the living environment here.
I always feel like I'll get bitten by bugs if I go outside.
Ever since Xia Zhiyi went to the mountains to collect some plants, crushed them, and made sachets, there have been no insects around the cabin, making it safe.
Thinking about how she didn't know if her performance during this time had been recognized by the audience after they separated, Qin Yue suppressed the turmoil in her heart.
At the very least, Xia Zhiyi is definitely very likable.
Even if she viewed him with a pragmatic eye, it would be hard for her not to like someone like him.
The last meal was prepared by all the villagers together. After the production crew and the villagers who arrived one after another made some arrangements and had a lively meal, under Director Gong's direction, they took several group photos in front of the live broadcast camera, and the production crew officially ended the program.
"Wow, it's finally over!" Xue Ranran was the first to stand up, stretching her limbs. Then, remembering something, she immediately turned to Director Gong and asked, " Director Gong, is it really over? You're not going to do some hidden filming, are you?"
Gong Cheng smiled and was about to say something when Fu Chi heard this and said helplessly, "Do you think I'm that kind of person? This isn't a prank show."
Seeing that the photographers had put away their lenses and that staff were removing them from under the eaves, Xue Ranran felt relieved. "That's good. I've never been under a camera for so long before; it wasn't easy at all."
Although she did try to relax and relieve her stress to some extent, she didn't completely let go.
If she really let loose, she might run around without a bra in her own home, but that's not allowed here.
Xia Zhiyi said to the others, "I'm going to pack my luggage."
This was mainly addressed to Fu Chi.
Because Fu Chi had just told him to come with him later to go through the company's follow-up procedures.
Xia Zhiyi didn't think it was a big deal and agreed.
Fu Chi nodded slightly.
Fu Yunyi whispered from the side, "Uncle, I'll go pack too."
Fu Chi: "Hmm."
Seeing this, Fu Yunyi's childhood friend Gu Zhiyuan naturally followed Fu Yunyi and ran off as well.
Upon hearing this, Xue Ranran also said, "Okay, I'll go see if there's anything else that hasn't been packed yet."
As she spoke, she ran off, pulling her younger brother along with her.
Before long, only Gong Cheng, the chief director, remained by Fu Chi's side.
Gong Cheng: "Hehe, President Fu, our program has successfully concluded. How about we have a get-together after we return to Yue City?"
Fu Chi: "... You should find a guest for this."
Gong Cheng: "Oh, so you're an investor too."
Fu Chi: "I might not be available."
It's not a possibility, it's a certainty that he won't be available.
He's really busy.
Upon hearing this, Director Gong had no choice but to say, "Alright then, I'll contact you once we can set a time. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on post-production; we expect it to premiere around National Day."
This month has been spent going through various procedures.
However, their show probably won't get aired on a satellite TV channel, but it should be fine on online platforms, as it generates a lot of buzz.
According to the information Gong Cheng received, Qin Yue, Xue Ranran, and Wang Chengran -up announcements have already been released. Fu Yunyi and Xia Zhiyi haven't received any specific information because Xu Chen didn't tell them.
But it's easy to imagine that it won't be bad.
It all depends on how Tianhuan arranges things.
Fu Chi gave a soft "hmm".
Director Gong pondered for a few seconds, then changed the subject. "After the auction, the money has been going through the process. Many kind-hearted people online have offered to help, and some companies have also gotten involved. I contacted a law firm to help establish a special fund, but there are still some procedures to go through..."
As he spoke, Gong Cheng realized that what he was saying might be a bit misunderstood, so he quickly added, "Of course, we've already had supplies purchased and delivered to the schools in the mountainous areas we arranged beforehand. They might have already received the supplies today."
Fu Chi: "Hmm."
Director Gong: "..."
really.
How indifferent.
Director Gong scratched his head, deciding that he should give up on chatting with this angel investor. After all, based on this collaboration, he knew that the other party was generous with money and wouldn't interfere with their program team.
ah?
Saka?
If every investor were to put together a popular artist like Fu Yunyi, who has both talent and popularity and isn't afraid of hardship, he wouldn't mind at all!
When Xia Zhiyi came out with her luggage, Director Gong had already run off to direct the staff to pack up. Fu Chi stood alone on the edge, looking at the distant mountains, his back view appearing somewhat lonely.
Xia Zhiyi paused slightly, a bright smile spreading across her face. She stepped forward and gently patted Fu Chi's shoulder. "Hey? You're all alone here. Why don't you go inside and find me or your nephew?"
Are you feeling a bit bored?
Fu Chi turned around, glanced at Xia Zhiyi's luggage, and said, "Waiting for you won't be boring."
Xia Zhiyi blinked. "Oh."
When Fu Yunyi and Gu Zhiyuan walked out chatting, they saw Xia Zhiyi and Fu Chi standing together, talking happily.
Well, that's not quite right either.
Xia Zhiyi was doing most of the talking, occasionally pointing to the distant mountains and clouds in the sky, making it seem like she wasn't talking about anything serious.
But it was obvious to everyone that Fu Chi was listening very attentively and would even look into the distance in sync with his actions.
Fu Yunyi: "..."
Gu Zhiyuan nudged him with his elbow and said, "Speaking of which, don't you think your uncle's attitude towards Xia Zhiyi is... a bit too friendly?"
Fu Yunyi silently turned to look at his childhood friend and asked, "Do you think Xia Zhiyi is another uncle I lost contact with many years ago?"
Gu Zhiyuan:?
