Chapter 241

Once the call connected, the person in charge's voice still carried a hint of excitement.

"Mr. Ye, we are the organizers of the Weibo Night. We sincerely invite you to attend this year's Weibo Night gala event..."

The organizer had been waiting happily for Ye Xuan to agree, but unexpectedly, a tone of confusion came clearly through the phone from the other side.

"Weibo Night?!"

It seemed he first had to recall what the Weibo Night event was, and then the organizer heard a crisp, decisive refusal from the other side.

"Not going."

As soon as these two words were spoken, the smile on the organizer's face immediately froze.

This was the person who had been voted into first place through the voting channel!

If the first-place winner didn't show up, wouldn't the Weibo Night gala become a joke?!

If the netizens were to think that Weibo Night had shady dealings, and it also dealt a blow to the writers represented by Ye Xuan, wouldn't that be the end of it?!

Even though the temperature in the room wasn't cold, the organizer felt a chill run through his entire body.

Just as he prepared to explain a few more things, he heard that the call on the other end had already been hung up.

Only the dial tone sounded in his ear.

Hung up?!

The corners of the organizer's mouth began to twitch.

And the next moment, the organizer realized something even more.

If Ye Xuan didn't come, it would likely be difficult to appease the hearts of the vast number of netizens.

No!

He must invite Ye Xuan to attend!

With that, the organizer immediately opened a mobile ticketing app and booked a flight.

He prepared to visit Ye Xuan in person to extend the invitation.

On the other side, Ye Xuan didn't take the matter of refusing Weibo Night to heart.

He had already announced his retirement from the entertainment industry; why bother wading into its murky waters?

In the past, given Ye Xuan's previous status, he never had the opportunity to appear at Weibo Night.

But that didn't hinder his understanding of Weibo Night.

It was either a bunch of celebrities vying for attention on the red carpet, or fighting for the C-position in the final group photo.

With that kind of mindset, he might as well go and check on his own pig farm.

However, just after he had such thoughts, unexpectedly, the next day, he saw the organizer of Weibo Night appear before him.

The organizer was a middle-aged man of about forty, and as soon as he saw Ye Xuan, a smile immediately spread across his face.

"Mr. Ye Xuan, I have finally met you."

Seeing Ye Xuan's confusion, the Weibo Night organizer said with a fawning smile.

"Mr. Ye, on behalf of Weibo Night, I sincerely invite you to attend..."

As soon as the voice fell, Ye Xuan's brows knitted slightly.

"Sorry, I have already retired from the entertainment industry."

Perhaps sensing Ye Xuan's intention not to interfere too much with the entertainment industry, the organizer became anxious as well.

One must know that the traffic for Weibo Night had been falling year after year.

If they couldn't run Weibo Night well, wouldn't that be giving Weibo's competitors a chance to capitalize on their success?!

Nowadays, the first-place winner on the leaderboard, with votes exceeding one hundred million, had appeared out of thin air; it was simply a massive wave of traffic.

They absolutely could not miss out on Ye Xuan.

Thinking of this, the organizer's expression became increasingly tense, and he even quickened his speech.

"Mr. Ye, as long as you are willing to attend, we are willing to agree to any conditions you propose."

The organizer's voice became increasingly respectful.

He had even thought it through: if Ye Xuan asked him to roll on the ground right there on the spot, he would be willing to agree to it.

Seeing Ye Xuan stop right in front of the water dispenser, the organizer racked his brains, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck.

"Mr. Ye, haven't you always been committed to rural revitalization?! I heard that Qiong Village has already become the rural representative of Xijiang Province; we at Weibo are willing to help promote Qiong Village simultaneously..."

Promote?!

The movement in Ye Xuan's hand paused, and his thoughts began to ponder along with the organizer's idea.

Ever since Qiong Village became the country's first Wu Xia village, its popularity and traffic had indeed undergone a earth-shaking change.

Just taking the village head he met last time as an example, that little potbelly was clearly a circle fatter.

After all, the room escape murder mystery games operated by each household had long since made them all very wealthy.

This also led each household to start shifting from traditional agriculture to the emerging service industry.

No longer needing to be exposed to the sun, braving the wind and rain, just for that one acre and three points of crops.

Many villagers had even transformed into small business owners, and their lives were clearly much more comfortable than before.

However, the organizer's proposal did have some merit.

Qiong Village's current development could indeed make a name for itself in Xijiang Province.

But if it were placed on a national level, it was likely still hovering outside the top 100 villages and towns.

If they could have the help of Weibo's promotion, perhaps they could usher in a new wave of traffic.

Just as Ye Xuan was deep in thought, the organizer on the side thought Ye Xuan was preparing to refuse, and racked his brains, coming up with several new ideas in succession.

"Not only that, our Weibo will be conducting a series of city promotion activities this year. If you agree, Mr. Ye, we are willing to put Qianzhou City at the top of the list..."

At this point, the organizer had gone all out.

As long as he could invite Ye Xuan to Weibo Night, he would agree to any condition.

............. 0

Facing the organizer's eager eyes, Ye Xuan also ran through the situation in his mind.

A while ago, the deputy director of the Qianzhou Culture and Tourism Bureau had also called him.

Ever since the city promotional video was broadcast, the number of tourists coming to Qianzhou City had indeed increased quite a bit.

However, once the popularity of the promotional video passed, the recent flow of people had shown a downward trend.

Now, listening to the Weibo organizer's words, Ye Xuan's mind stirred.

Isn't this someone sending a pillow just when one is sleepy?!

Thinking of this series of traffic influxes, Ye Xuan ran through it in his mind, and then slowly nodded.

The organizer on the side stared at Ye Xuan's reaction; he had originally thought Ye Xuan was going to continue to refuse, and his eyes had already dimmed.

Now, suddenly seeing Ye Xuan nod, he hadn't even reacted for a moment.

Nodded?!

Does this mean he agreed?!

The organizer suddenly raised his head, his voice even carrying a hint of trembling.

"Mr. Ye, you... does this mean you have agreed?"

Seeing Ye Xuan say "Mm," the organizer was overjoyed and hurriedly grasped Ye Xuan's hand.

"Mr. Ye, thank you for your support of our Weibo Night; we will definitely not let down your expectations....."

After expressing his gratitude a thousand times, when the organizer left Qiong Village, he was full of high spirits.

As soon as he returned to the Shanghai headquarters, he immediately had the official Weibo Night platform release a message.

【Weibo Night Official Channel: Spend Weibo Night with @Ye Xuan, book the gala live stream, and witness the annual shining moment!】

As soon as the message was released, Weibo immediately exploded.
