Taking Liu Yifei back to Northeast China for the Chinese New Year has sent the entire internet into

"City cultural and tourism image ambassador?"

Inside the main room of the Fang family home.

Zhao Guifang's eyes widened, and her breathing became rapid:

"Oh my god! They've given us an official title?!"

"Xiaoyu, does this mean you've been praised by the government? Are you going to be working for the government?!"

In the traditional mindset of the older generation of Northeasterners.

No matter how much money you make or how famous you are.

It can't compare to the real substance and prestige of an official endorsement bearing a bright red seal!

This is a cultural and tourism ambassador!

It's a calling card that needs to be on TV, on the big screen, and represent a city or even a province!

"Bringing honor to one's ancestors... truly a stroke of good fortune!"

Zhao Guifang's cheeks flushed with excitement. She kept slapping her thigh while wiping away tears of joy from the corners of her eyes.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the screen, the two agent teams were equally excited.

Beijing.

Liu Yifei's agent, Sister Hong, was staring blankly at the screen.

When she heard the words "City Cultural Tourism Image Ambassador", she was completely stunned.

She originally thought that Liu Yifei's trip to Northeast China was a disaster that would cause her public image to collapse.

Although he unexpectedly landed a Pepsi endorsement deal midway through, he ended up licking iron railings and gnawing on frogs.

That aloof and ethereal persona has been completely shattered.

But she never expected this!

The plot twists and turns, and an officially certified "cultural tourism image ambassador" suddenly appears out of nowhere and lands hard on the head of their own artist!

What does this mean?

This means that in the future, if there are any negative public opinions about Liu Yifei, the company's public relations department won't even need to write any press releases.

Just throw out the title of "Mohe City Cultural Tourism Image Ambassador"!

My artist is an officially recognized representative of positive youth. What are you haters up to?

This move is simply a game-changer!

This is something money can't buy!

This is a talisman!

It's a get-out-of-jail-free card!

On the other side...

Fang Yu's agent, Sister Wang, jumped up from her chair in excitement and started spinning around the office.

How long has it been since their debut?

Half a year!

All told, it's only been half a year!

First, "Gong Xi Fa Cai" swept the Spring Festival film season and was booked by the director of the Spring Festival Gala.

Then "Mohe Dance Hall" went viral online, making an entire city famous.

Now, he has been directly appointed as the "Cultural and Tourism Ambassador" by the government!

Who would believe this resume if I told them?

Even if you were riding a rocket, it wouldn't be this fast!

Sister Wang clutched her chest, feeling like she was about to faint from happiness.

She felt that she must have saved the galaxy in her past life to be able to be with such a wonderful artist in this life!

……

Faced with such overwhelming political achievements and wealth, everyone thought that Fang Yu would be so excited that he would burst into tears, and on the spot, he would express his gratitude to the country and the government over the phone.

Even Director Wang on the other end of the phone held his breath, preparing to receive Fang Yu's gratitude.

however.

In the main house of the Fang family.

After hearing these words, Fang Yu remained silent for a few seconds.

Then, he touched his chin.

Speaking slowly over the phone, he asked a question that caught everyone off guard.

"Um... Director Wang..."

"Being an ambassador is great."

"Well... I wanted to ask..."

"Does the bureau... pay for the five social insurances and one housing fund?"

"..."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

Director Wang's heart, burning with excitement, felt as if it had been doused from head to toe with a bucket of icy water from Mohe.

Five...five social insurances and one housing fund?

His mind was buzzing, and for a moment he even doubted whether he had misheard.

What I'm talking to you about is bringing glory to our hometown, official honors, and achievements that will be recorded in the city annals!

You're talking to me about social insurance and housing fund?!

The tens of millions of viewers in the live stream burst out laughing the moment they heard Fang Yu's words.

[Pfft—! Sorry, I couldn't help it! Five social insurances and one housing fund?! Fang Yu, what on earth are you thinking?!]

[I'm laughing so hard I can't live! Director Wang was enthusiastically painting a rosy picture, and Fang Yu immediately asked him if he was going to pay social security! Hahahaha!]

[This is so true! This is what we working people care about most! All those honors and awards are meaningless! Only the monthly social security and housing fund payments that arrive on time are truly real!]

Inside the room, Liu Yifei also had a look of bewilderment, both amused and exasperated.

She nudged Fang Yu lightly with her elbow, signaling him to be serious.

This is an official phone number; how can they ask such outrageous questions?

Fang Yu, however, looked completely innocent.

How is this outrageous?

This is a legitimate right!

After being frozen in place for more than ten seconds, Director Wang finally found his voice on the other end of the phone.

He let out a bitter laugh that was both funny and exasperating.

"Teacher Fang... your perspective on issues is indeed... quite different from other celebrities."

"Um... about the five social insurances and one housing fund, in principle... we don't cover them."

Director Wang explained with difficulty:

"Because of its prominent image, it does not fall under a formal employment contract relationship; it is a kind of... honorary employment."

"Oh, an honorary appointment?" Fang Yu drawled, feigning sudden realization. "Isn't that just working for free?"

"puff--"

Director Wang felt a sweet taste in his throat and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Working for free?

That's a very...

Why does it sound so awful!

"Professor Fang, you can't say that!" Director Wang exclaimed anxiously. "How can this be considered working for free! The intangible assets and social impact this brings are immeasurable by money!"

"Alright, alright, Director Wang, I was just joking." Fang Yu stopped joking around once he had amused the man enough.

He cleared his throat and said seriously, "Don't worry, Mr. Liu and I will accept this ambassadorship."

"It is our honor and our bounden duty to be able to contribute to our hometown."

Hearing Fang Yu finally speak a sensible sentence, Director Wang finally felt relieved.

"Yes! Very well!" Director Wang responded repeatedly. "On behalf of all the people of Mohe, I thank Teacher Fang and Teacher Liu for their profound understanding and righteousness!"

"Um, Ms. Fang, we will draft a formal letter of appointment as soon as possible, as well as a shooting plan for some promotional materials. We may need your and Ms. Liu's cooperation at that time."

"No problem," Fang Yu readily agreed. "I'm ready to answer the organization's call at any time."

After hanging up the phone, the room became quiet.

Fang Yu looked at Liu Yifei, who was still in a daze beside him, and chuckled as he nudged her shoulder.

"What are you thinking about, Celestial Ambassador?"

Liu Yifei then came to her senses, looked at Fang Yu, and murmured softly:

"I...I just feel...it's a little unreal."

Over the years since her debut, she has taken on numerous endorsements and served as an ambassador for various events.

But those are all business transactions.

This is the first time I've been appointed as a "cultural and tourism ambassador" with such solemnity by a city and a local government.

This feeling of official recognition gave her an unprecedented sense of security and honor.

"Oh my, it's not unreal at all! This is what you call truly deserving of the title!"

Zhao Guifang was overjoyed. She came over, took Liu Yifei's hand, and looked at her son with the eyes of someone looking at a treasure.

"Mom's going to buy a large red string of flowers to hang out later! You two have really made the Fang family proud!"

"Alright, Mom, don't bother setting off firecrackers in this cold weather. Just stay inside and have some fun."

Fang Yu smiled and reassured his overly excited mother before turning his attention back to the table.

Because of this interruption, the invitation on the table was only half written.

"Now that we have the official title, we still have to keep working."

Fang Yu chuckled lightly, ignoring the two women who were still immersed in joy, and picked up the brush he had just put down.

One festive bright red invitation after another gradually covered the tabletop under his pen.
