Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 65 65. Chestnut Cake from Hometown
At noon that day, Lin Xiao sent a WeChat message to Han Xixi.

[I have something to trouble you, do you have time now? ]

Han Xixi saw it in the afternoon and frowned.

The two have known each other for more than two months. Lin Xiao has always given her the impression of being unhurried and mature. Whenever they act out scenes with his family, he is the one who rushes to the front while she hides behind.

This was the first time he expressed that he wanted to ask for something.

Han Xixi couldn't help but feel nervous, thinking that something big had happened to him!
She was shooting a magazine cover at the time, with her agent and assistant by her side.

She quietly replied: [Just saw WeChat, what’s the matter? ]

The other end replied quickly.

【Lin: Can I make a phone call? 】

[Xi: ...Is WeChat ok? It’s not convenient for me.]

[Lin: Then let’s do it in the evening. Tell me when you are free.]

Then he added: [I’m not in a hurry]

Han Xixi was even more confused.

"Why did you have to call? It seems serious, but you said it's not urgent... Are you trying to end the contract early?"

This guess made her heart sink and her expression became serious.

But it’s not good to ask too much, I can only reply: [OK]

Feeling uneasy, Han Xixi spent the whole afternoon guessing anxiously.

Return to the apartment in the evening.

After her agent and assistant left, she quickly sent a message to Lin Xiao.

The call came quickly.

The sudden ringing of the phone startled Han Xixi - as a person with half social anxiety, answering the phone is more terrifying than going to a haunted house.

The ringing sounded urgent, and Han Xixi adjusted his breathing.

Then she suddenly realized that this was their first phone call.

We used to communicate via WeChat.

We chatted, made voice calls, and even had a video call.

Because WeChat has so many functions, even though we had exchanged phone numbers, we had never called each other.

This also made her more curious about why Lin Xiao insisted on calling.

After all, in this era, as the frequency of telephone use decreases, its official attributes are increasing.

Making phone calls, a very normal communication channel ten years ago, now carries the invisible labels of "urgent" and "important".

"Hello..." She adjusted for a long time before finally answering.

"In the apartment?" Lin Xiao's voice came.

"Yeah, I just got back..."

"Oh……"

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Um...what do you want to talk to me about?" Han Xixi asked.

"Oh, um, did you take the chestnut cake I bought the day before yesterday to Haicheng?"

"what?"

Han Xixi was a little confused, but still asked, "Is it from Uncle Seabird? I brought it with me. What's wrong?"

Lin Xiao said seriously, "It's like this. I want you to post a Weibo post. Take a photo of the chestnut cake and add the caption 'The chestnut cake from my hometown is still the best'... Is that okay?"

Han Xixi frowned.

"Sure... do you want to mention Uncle Seabird?"

"Oh, no no!"

"Okay! Then I'll send it now?"

"..."

Lin Xiao was a little caught off guard.

I was originally prepared to face Han Xixi's interrogation and torture. After all, for an artist, every word and action must be extremely careful, especially this kind of voice that has obvious suspicion of advertising.

But he never expected that she would agree so readily.

"Is she not used to being a star yet?" Lin Xiao couldn't help but guess.

After hesitating for a moment, I asked, "Aren't you going to ask me why I asked you to post this?"

Han Xixi was stunned: "Well... why?"

Lin Xiao: “…” He was speechless. He really didn’t know whether this girl was confused or stupid!

He told her everything and expressed his idea of ​​leveraging her celebrity appeal to boost the sales of Chaobai Town chestnut powder.

Han Xixi felt it was very impressive.

"Just one Weibo post from me can boost the sales of your entire town's chestnut powder...isn't that too exaggerated?" She was shocked.

"No exaggeration!"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Do you have any misunderstanding about your popularity?"

Just kidding! The annual champion of "The Voice of China" had a sponsorship scandal, officially announced his marriage, and directly made it into the top three of the new song chart with the song "Human World"!

Even though it’s only been less than three months since her official debut, she’s already been on the headlines several times!

In terms of status now, Han Xixi can probably only be considered a third-tier star in the music industry.

After all, although the single "Human World" is popular, it is not a classic.

Because classics need to be settled!
But in terms of popularity, even if she is not a top-tier star, she is almost there.

Celebrities’ ability to sell products is terrifying. Lin Xiao made a lot of money from this in his previous life, so he understands it.

But obviously, Han Xixi didn't understand.

"Since you want to advertise, why don't you let me mention 'Uncle Seabird'? Isn't this chestnut cake from their store?"

“Mentioning the brand name is too suspicious of advertising, and netizens will be disgusted!”

Lin Xiao said seriously, and then laughed again, "Besides, you haven't signed an endorsement agreement with them, so why should you promote their products? Even if you are willing, your agent won't do it!"

Han Xixi nodded. It was true!

"I have one more question..."

"you say!"

"You want to expand the sales of chestnuts, why don't you let me directly praise the chestnuts from my hometown, or the sugar-roasted chestnuts from my hometown... In fact, compared to chestnut cakes, I prefer sugar-roasted chestnuts..."

Han Xixi's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, and he felt a little ashamed to reveal that he was actually a little foodie.

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Of course it's fine, but basically everyone has eaten raw chestnuts and sugar-roasted chestnuts, and they know whether they like it or not, so it's hard to change just because a celebrity promotes it.

"But chestnut cake is different. Many people have never eaten it. Once a celebrity mentions it, everyone's curiosity will be aroused, and many people will be willing to buy it and try it..."

"Oh I see!"

Han Xixi became serious. "More people are buying chestnut cakes, so bakeries and pastry shops will increase their purchases of chestnut flour. Chaobai Town is a famous chestnut town in Nanzhou Province. A large part of the chestnut flour manufacturers in the province import chestnuts from Chaobai Town... Is that the logic?"

Lin Xiao laughed.

"Why don't you become a singer? I think being a boss is also suitable. You will definitely become a rich woman!"

"..."

Lin Xiao said seriously: "But this is just my assumption. It is still unknown whether your Weibo post can really trigger a series of chain reactions... Let's give it a try!"

Han Xixi nodded, feeling inexplicably excited.

After becoming a professional singer for more than two months, she has only now slowly adapted to the identity of a star. As for her "fame", she associates it more with her career, privacy protection, trolls and black fans.

And until this moment.

She realized that her fame was so useful, and a random Weibo post could easily help thousands of farmers...

Her mood instantly boiled over.

Even more exciting than "Human World" reaching number three on the new song chart!

After repeatedly checking the content of the Weibo with Lin Xiao, the two hung up the phone.

Han Xixi quickly followed the instructions, took out two pieces of chestnut cake, placed them on the plate, and took a photo.

Then I edited the text and sent it out at around eight o'clock - at this time, Weibo's traffic will usher in the first peak.

After sending it, she clicked on her personal Weibo page.

Since I verified my Weibo account with real name, I have only posted three Weibo posts in total.

The first one is the official announcement of the marriage.

The second one is to promote his first single "Human World".

The third one is this “chestnut cake from my hometown”.

Han Xixi was surprised to find out.

Although it is his personal Weibo, two of the only three blog posts are related to Lin Xiao.

She pursed her lips.

I watched helplessly as the number of likes and comments on the new Weibo posts skyrocketed...

A strange feeling suddenly spread in my heart!
