The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 648 Sincerity is the Ultimate Weapon
"Hello everyone in the live stream, I'm Gu Lanxi."

Just two days ago, he was saying he wanted to stay home and would never do anything that didn't make money, but in the blink of an eye, he's in a small mountain village.

She appeared in the photo with her hair tied in a messy bun, without makeup, wearing a white printed T-shirt, black skirt and pants, and white sneakers.

"I'm in a village right now. The reason I'm here is because filming for the movie has wrapped up, and I'm on vacation. I had some time to check on the roads that were repaired earlier, to see if they were done according to standards. And then..."

Fans were surprised to see that her official account was showing a live stream and thought they had misread it.

I clicked in just to see what would happen, and to my surprise, my idol actually started streaming!

It's worth noting that Gu Lanxi only ever streamed live once, when she was recording a variety show.

She has only actually recorded two variety shows in total!

This is the first time ever that someone has ever done something like this – going live privately to chat with fans!
Although she was dressed simply, without elaborate makeup, and standing under a magnolia tree next to an old bamboo fence, her fans didn't mind.

Just a couple of days ago, the airport incident happened, and I thought this low-key lady was going to disappear for a while again. I didn't expect her to reappear so soon, and in such a casual scene!

This is such a pleasant surprise!
The comment section scrolled up rapidly, with various gift effects exploding one after another. Gu Lanxi's eyes widened, and she forgot what she wanted to say.

After pausing for two seconds, he quickly told the staff to close the gift lane and carefully explained to everyone:

"I'm going live today to help people sell some items, so please don't send any gifts. I'll also contact the platform to return any gifts I sent before. Thank you everyone!"

After saying this, he asked someone to limit the time interval between speeches, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

I can finally see the comments section clearly.

Other celebrities who promote products make all sorts of excuses to beautify themselves, as if they're not doing it to earn money, but because they're forced into it.

Gu Lanxi started her live stream, but before she could say more than a few words, she announced that she was going to sell something. Her fans were already prepared to boost her sales, and regardless of what she was selling, they flooded the screen with messages urging her to post the link!
Most of her endorsements are for high-end luxury brands, which are not affordable for ordinary people. However, those are not the kinds of products she sells in her live streams. Although her fans don't know what she's going to sell, they still speak with great confidence.

Our idol never exploits us; instead, she frequently gives us perks. We're always eager to get our hands on a magazine, setting alarms days in advance to snag one. So when she does a live stream to sell products, we're naturally very enthusiastic!

Fans are such a lovely group of people; they dote on her and spoil her rotten.

No wonder so many artists go astray. Living in such an environment for a long time, it really takes a lot of willpower to stay grounded.

Gu Lan couldn't help but smile, revealing a set of bright white teeth, her face full of pride, but she spoke modestly: "I've never sold anything via live streaming before, so I don't really know how to do it. If I do anything wrong, please forgive me."

Today, besides her secretary and driver, she only brought people from Hesheng with her.

The donation was made in the name of Hesheng to legally avoid taxes.

She doesn't know how to do live streaming, but as long as she stands there, countless people wave their money and wait to buy, buy, buy. In addition, her team specializes in live streaming e-commerce, and each of them is extremely professional. Naturally, they do whatever the boss says, only seeking her satisfaction, without ever arguing.

So even if it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision, the live stream could be started whenever she wanted.

To be honest, this incident was unexpected not only for the fans, but also for the platform and the team.

"What happened today was quite interesting. Just as I was about to leave, I saw a group of families standing by the roadside watching me, so I went over to say hello. Then I saw an old lady holding a keychain with a small, round doll hanging from it. It was one of the ones from that vinyl gift box, even though it was faded, I definitely recognized it immediately. I found it quite unusual, so I asked her about the doll. She said it was a gift from her granddaughter, who said it was a lucky doll that would protect her and ensure she lived a long and healthy life. Wow, that was the first time I'd ever heard of such a thing, so I asked her how her family was doing..."

As Gu Lanxi spoke, she followed the old lady into the courtyard.

"Look, it's this old lady Wang."

The old woman had difficulty walking, measuring only about 1.5 to 1.4 meters. Her face was wrinkled, her skin dark and yellowish, covered with age spots, making her look like a shriveled potato. Speaking in her dialect, she continued, "My husband passed away early, my children were unlucky and got sick, my daughter-in-law was still young, I didn't want to hold her back, so she passed away again. My granddaughter finally got into university, but then she got sick and passed away too. I don't have much to live for. My granddaughter, before she left, insisted on telling me she'd live to be a hundred. My legs aren't good either, and the chickens I raise are too old to lay eggs anymore..."

As she spoke, she lifted the hem of her apron and gently wiped away her tears.

This family is so pitiful. Gu Lanxi sighed, gently patted the old lady's back, then opened the chicken coop door and turned on the light inside.

"So now you all know what we're selling today, right? Grandma Wang's old hens. They're all kept here. I'll weigh them one by one later. Live chickens with feathers will be weighed by the pound. Whoever wants one can grab it. If you want them alive, just tie their feet and ship them. If you want them properly processed, I'll have someone boil water right now."

As he spoke, he lowered his head, grabbed a yellow-feathered chicken from the coop, took the straw the old lady handed him, tied the chicken's feet together in a couple of quick movements, brought it in front of the camera, put it in the peeling basket, and started pressing the electronic scale.

"Number one old hen, weighing two pounds and eight ounces with feathers, Grandma Wang, how much do you sell this chicken for per pound?"

"The chickens sold down the mountain are eighteen yuan each, but slaughtering is not included. They are all grain-fed, and are over three years old hens."

"Okay, calculate the price and put it on the shelves. I'll give you free shipping."

Before rushing to put the chickens on the shelves, Gu Lanxi reminded everyone again: "Because these are live chickens, it's best not to return them after you've bought them, otherwise it will be difficult to handle. I will calculate the money you paid for the chickens and give it to the old lady later. I will cover the shipping costs. If there are any problems, just contact the seller directly, and I will provide after-sales service, okay? If you are dissatisfied in any way, please don't curse. They are home-raised, so some are a little bigger, some are a little smaller, some are a little older, and some are a little younger. It's hard to say. If they are processed before being shipped, the weight will definitely be different from those with feathers. I hope everyone can understand this."

As he spoke, he picked up the hen again to show everyone.

“Look at these chicken feet and these hard breastbones, and you’ll know it really is an old hen.”

In this weather, cold chain transportation is not cheap. Gu Lanxi doing this is really no different from doing charity.

Fans expressed their understanding and were eager to participate.

So she stopped dawdling, grabbed the chickens one by one from the coop, put a number tag on their feet, and started weighing them.

The staff immediately calculated the costs and linked the bill.

Fans had never seen an idol sell products like this before; in less than twenty minutes, the number of viewers in the live stream exceeded one million.

Every time a link was listed, those who managed to snag a listing couldn't help but burst into laughter.

There were more than twenty chickens in total. When they caught the last two, the old lady refused to sell them and insisted on cooking them for her. Gu Lanxi firmly refused to take a single needle or thread from the people, saying that if she did, she would definitely be scolded. The old lady was stunned by her words and finally couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she agreed to put them on the shelves for sale.

Just as I was about to leave after the old hen had been sold, an old man with snow-white hair came carrying two sacks.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh whoosh~ Freshly dried rice, freshly threshed rice, whoosh~ Boss, where's the buyer?"

There was no other way but to put the electronic scale back on the octagonal table in the yard.

Gu Lanxi sighed and gestured to the staff not to turn off the live stream: "Grandpa Li's rice, this year's new rice, you can still smell the rich aroma of rice when you hold it in your hand..."

Gu Lanxi picked up the rice, smelled it, and then brought it closer to show the viewers in the live stream: "This is indica rice. It has a high content of amylose, so the grains are distinct and chewy. It gets a bit hard when it's cold, so it's suitable for fried rice and clay pot rice. It's different from glutinous rice like pearl rice. It's not as soft and sticky, and it's not as oily. If you don't like this kind of rice, don't buy it, or you might not be used to the taste."

Gu Lanxi has a lot on her mind and loves all kinds of local products. When she picks up a chicken, she can not only tell what breed it is, but also how long it has been raised.

Fans assumed she knew so much because she loved playing PUBG, but they were surprised to find that when she picked up a handful of rice and looked at it, she spoke eloquently about it as well.

What else is there to say?
You won't regret it! New rice is only 2.5 yuan per pound with free shipping! Buy it!

Other livestreamers selling products have a bunch of straight men joking around, saying "Buy it, buy it!"

This streamer takes their time, clearly explaining both the pros and cons, haha~
