Chapter 292: City Girls Are Just Reserved

The man with the thick gold chain took a puff of his cigarette, then blew it into her face: "What's your name?"

Mou Lili looked at him indifferently: "Why should I tell you?"

"Let's be friends."

"Not interested."

"Even if you don't say it, I'll know anyway; I can just find someone to ask," the man with the thick gold chain said smugly.

Mou Lili let out a cold snort, walked around the front of his motorcycle, and left straight away.

The man with the thick gold chain was rebuffed, and the few thugs behind him walked up, one of whom said: "Big Brother, she doesn't want to pay you any mind."

The man with the thick gold chain smoked a cigarette and blew it into the thug's face: "Just because she doesn't want to pay me mind now doesn't mean she won't in the future; girls from the city are just reserved."

Mou Lili had nothing to do after eating, so she went to the bridgehead to watch people repairing the bridge.

Now that the materials had been transported back, the workers were gathered together discussing how the bridge should be repaired.

There was a very wide river here; in spring and winter, the river surface was flat and the current was small, but in summer, the water in this river would become very turbulent.

Previously, there was an iron chain bridge here, but later it broke, so the villagers used a rope to cross the river.

Mou Lili saw Ling Feng standing on the side, also holding the blueprints and studying them earnestly.

This bridge repair was very difficult and truly required careful study.

Once this bridge was repaired, it would only take one kilometer to get to the town, instead of having to walk many winding mountain roads like now, and not everyone in the village had an electric scooter or a motorcycle.

Ling Feng looked very serious; to make working easier, he only wore jeans and a T-shirt, looking less and less like a young master from Beijing.

He turned his head and saw Mou Lili.

Then, he smiled and walked toward her.

At that moment, Mou Lili's heart fluttered inexplicably.

"Why did you come over?"

"Just finished class, bored, seeing how your bridge repair is going."

"Concerned about me?" Ling Feng asked with a smile.

Mou Lili rolled her eyes at him: "Concerned about when this bridge will be finished, so I can leave sooner."

"At least a month," Ling Feng said.

"That's a long time."

"It is a bit long," Ling Feng said.

He looked at her and suddenly reached out a hand.

Mou Lili stepped back: "What are you doing?"

Ling Feng said: "There's something on your face, I'll help you take it off."

"Where is it?"

"I'll just help you take it off," Ling Feng said.

His hand touched her face, then he flicked it forward, seemingly throwing something away.

Mou Lili asked: "What did you throw?"

"Nothing at all, I was tricking you, hahaha."

"Boring!" Mou Lili glared at him, then said: "Then I'm going back to class."

"Okay."

Mou Lili turned and left, while Ling Feng watched her back.

Then, he raised his hand and looked at a sesame seed in his palm.

Jin Shu had a large family; it was possible someone had splashed it onto her face while eating, and she just hadn't noticed.

He didn't tell her directly because he was afraid she would be embarrassed, being so old and still getting sesame seeds on her face while eating.

That night, Mou Lili returned to the homestay.

She first looked at her phone for a while; there were several long voice messages inside, all from her mother calling to scold her, saying that she had sent the keys over only to learn that she had already checked out and even changed the door lock, which was truly going too far.

Mou Lili snorted coldly and did not reply.

Then she opened the video platform to check comments and private messages.

Most were praising her songs, though some pointed out the shortcomings in her songs and suggested she find a recording studio to re-record them.

There were also those who wanted to buy the copyrights to her songs.

Mou Lili did not plan to sell for the time being.

There were also some who contacted her to ask if she could take advertisements; Mou Lili took a look, but these were all new products without an established reputation, and she didn't dare to take them rashly—what if they were some "three-no" micro-merchants?

Agricultural products, however, interested her more.

Now, no matter what you post, it shows which province you are from, so her current IP was Gui Province, and some local agricultural companies in Gui Province wanted to ask her to help promote their agricultural products.

She thought this was a good idea.

As long as she went to the orchard to see the fruit and then kept an eye on the shipping, she should be able to guarantee what the consumers received, right?

The next part was the weekend, and Mou Lili decided to go take a look at that agricultural company.

Mou Lili contacted the person in charge of the agricultural company in the background and found that they were only 40 kilometers away from Baoshan County, with direct buses available.

Since the next two days were the weekend, Mou Lili sent a message to Ling Feng telling him about this.

Who knew Ling Feng would want to tag along, telling her to be sure to wait for him.

Not long after, Ling Feng arrived on his electric scooter, and upon seeing Mou Lili, he said: "I thought I was the one sent to the countryside for poverty alleviation, but it turns out it's you; you're even faster than me."

Mou Lili said, "Don't make it sound so noble; I'm just looking for a way to make money."

"If it's really to make money, then why must you take an advertisement for agricultural products? Isn't your video channel for promoting songs? Which singer have you seen take on agricultural products? The tone is inconsistent."

"How do you know my video channel is for promoting songs?" Mou Lili asked.

Ling Feng smirked: "Of course I know."

"How do you know? Hurry up and confess!"

Ling Feng chuckled and hummed that song "Your Smile," saying: "Did you write this song? Look, I can even sing it."

"You..." Mou Lili thought of how the inspiration for this song came from Ling Feng, and she just felt mortified.

Ling Feng said, "There are our students in the video; you must have been moved by the students, which is why you created such a song, right?"

Mou Lili immediately said, "Yes."

Then she made something up: "Wasn't it because I saw Nini smiling at me that day? She even gave me mugwort rice cakes; she didn't give you any, did she?"

"Nini is too biased, actually giving them only to you and not to me."

"You weren't in the classroom."

"Is it possible that half of it was mine, and you ate it all by yourself?"

"I gave it to Xiaozhu to eat, so Xiaozhu wouldn't have to run so far home to eat."

"Fine, I forgive you."

Mou Lili added: "How did you find my video channel?"

"Big data precision push. I didn't know it was you at first, but when I saw our students, who else could it be but you? Speaking of which, why do you wear a mask while recording? Doesn't recording a song with a mask affect the sound?"

"A little bit, maybe."

"That won't do, you'll have to find time to go to a recording studio to re-record it."

"Where would there be a recording studio around here?"

"Don't underestimate Baoshan County; everything is here, it just depends on whether you want to look for it."

"..." The two of them walked toward the station while talking.

The agricultural product Mou Lili was looking at was the local kumquat.

It was autumn, and the kumquats were ripe; however, because there had been little rain this year, the kumquats didn't look good, and the fruit merchants who had originally agreed on a price wanted to lower it, which meant the fruit farmers would have worked for nothing.

The so-called agricultural company was actually the local government department responsible for promoting agricultural products; they were truly at their wits' end, so they looked for local people on the video channel.

Other bloggers ignored them, and only Mou Lili replied.

As soon as Mou Lili arrived, two local colleagues enthusiastically shook her hand and showered her with praise, saying she was much prettier than she looked on her video channel, and that she was beautiful and kind-hearted.
