The Old Village Chief led Old Zhao and others into the courtyard, followed by a group of elegantly dressed individuals. Surrounding the courtyard, several cameras were positioned, their lenses focused on Chen Dahai and Zhang Cuifang. On the outskirts of the crowd, a few villagers from Chen Family Village were munching on sunflower seeds, watching the scene unfold.
"Village Chief, what’s going on?" Chen Dahai stood up anxiously, unsure of where to put his hands. He felt awkward whether to reach out or keep them at his sides.
"Dahai, these are some experts from the city who have come to our village to film a program," the Old Village Chief greeted with a smile, giving Chen Dahai a knowing glance.
"Oh, oh, oh." Chen Dahai finally understood, his face flushing as he awkwardly extended his hands.
Old Zhao chuckled and shook hands with Chen Dahai. His calm demeanor and relaxed expression stood in stark contrast to Chen Dahai's nervousness. This scene made everyone around them shake their heads and smile, while the villagers on the outskirts burst into laughter. Even viewers on the live streaming platform found it amusing and began to joke about it.
"Old Zhao's presence is so overwhelming that this farmer is terrified!" one viewer commented.
"Hahaha! He probably hasn’t seen much; it’s normal for country folks," another added.
"This nervous little guy is killing me!" someone else chimed in.
The cameras captured this moment perfectly, and the program’s effect exceeded expectations as the online viewership quickly surpassed one hundred thousand. The staff responsible for live streaming excitedly gestured to each other.
Noticing their gestures, Old Zhao understood what was happening. He smiled gently and said, "We’re from a local culture program; just call me Old Zhao. We’re here to take a casual look, don’t be nervous."
"Oh, oh, okay," Chen Dahai stammered, still looking quite tense.
The Old Village Chief shook his head helplessly and stepped in to ease the situation. "This family is one of our village's star families; Dahai's son is quite remarkable—a good kid indeed. He just graduated from Tsinghua University."
"Tsinghua University graduated?"
Old Zhao raised his eyebrows in surprise, not expecting that in such a small village, there would be a graduate from a prestigious university. The expressions of the production team varied, clearly caught off guard by Old Village Chief's revelation. Hearing that the family had a university graduate made them show a bit more respect.
As Old Village Chief spoke about his son, Chen Dahai's face lit up with pride. However, at that moment, the onlooking villagers were not pleased and began to shout with laughter: "Sure, he has a son who graduated from a prestigious university, but he graduated last year and is just farming at home now!"
"Exactly! What’s the point of being a university graduate if he’s not working? After so many years of studying!"
The villagers laughed and jeered, causing Chen Dahai's expression to darken. Old Village Chief grew even angrier; he turned and shot a fierce glare at the villagers, thinking how narrow-minded they were. Chen Xuan had already started to cultivate four acres of Barren Land! Yet here they were, fixating on whether he was working after graduation.
If it weren't for my visit to Chen Xuan Farm with the director a few days ago, I might have shared their thoughts! They are truly superficial!
Old Village Chief sighed in frustration but chose not to reveal any details about Chen Xuan. He preferred that fewer people knew about Chen Xuan's background so that he could have more time to build a good relationship with him.
Seeing Old Village Chief sigh, Old Zhao's expression shifted. He thought it was because someone had just exposed his earlier statement. He shook his head and smiled.
Old Zhao didn’t mind; after all, he had seen many university graduates. Nowadays, students in universities often just passed the time without learning anything substantial. It was quite normal for them not to find jobs after graduation.
He wasn’t there for that reason anyway.
Clearing his throat lightly, the live streaming staff understood immediately. They quickly gestured, and the surrounding cameras focused on Old Zhao.
With a faint smile, Old Zhao said, "I heard that your family used to have an impressive Orchid farmer; could you introduce me?"
"Orchid?"
