Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son-Chapter 22 - Selling Oranges

She tried her best to sell the oranges to Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhenzhen asked, “How many is many, Grandma?”

Speaking of this, the old lady looked worried.

“More than 10,000 catties. In the past, my son drove a tractor to sell oranges, but he passed away last winter. The child’s mother ran away when she was born. This year, I’m the only one left to take care of her.”

This…

The smile on Ye Zhenzhen’s face was replaced by sympathy and pity. When she looked at the little girl’s exposed sleeve, she felt as if her heart had been pierced.

She handed the 15 yuan to the old lady.

“Please take this.”

“Miss, this orange is for you to taste. You don’t have to pay.”

Ye Zhenzhen took the orange, put down the money, and left with Baby Chen.

[She’s only buying oranges for the show. Ye Jianjian probably wants us to think that she’s kind, hahaha!]

[Shameless!]

[Bah! I’ve seen too many celebrities putting on a show. People like her are too low-class.]

However, with every step she took, Ye Zhenzhen felt more guilty and sympathetic.

This kind of orange could be found in the mountains within a radius of dozens of kilometers around Changle Village, all the way to the surroundings of Peace Mountain. Although roads had been built, it was still a remote rural area. Basically, it was filled with left-behind children and the elderly.

In such a place where oranges were abundant, it was not easy to sell those two baskets of oranges.

However, there was nothing she could do at this time.

Ye Zhenzhen suddenly had an idea when she thought of the old lady’s words. Before she transmigrated, there were channels to live broadcast and sell goods, like D-Music and Tao. Could there be such channels in this world as well?

She had no understanding of this since she had just transmigrated into the book, and the original owner of this body didn’t seem to have any memories of live-streaming to sell goods either.

If there really was, then even if she had no money, she could still help the old lady sell those oranges.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhenzhen immediately led Baby Chen back to the place where they got off the car. Xu Wanjia had already bought the ingredients and was waiting for them there.

Baby Yiyi held two balloons in her hand and said happily to Baby Chen, “Brother Chen, which one do you want? The yellow or green balloon?”

“Yellow.”

“Here’s the yellow balloon.”

“Thank you.”

“Zhenzhen, you only bought two oranges?” Xu Wanjia pointed at the oranges in Ye Zhenzhen’s hand and continued, “The oranges here are really delicious though. I ate one of the ones you brought back last night. It was so sweet.”

Ye Zhenzhen heard Xu Wanjia’s praise for the orange and nodded, “It is delicious.”

Then, she went to Xu Wanjia’s side and asked softly, “Sister Jiajia, do you know how about selling goods during a live broadcast?”

“Of course,” Xu Wanjia replied without pause, “When I wasn’t busy before, I participated in live broadcasts as a guest to sell goods. It’s just that it’s not that easy. Without some popularity, not many would come in and buy.”

This was also the reason why Xu Wanjia wanted to participate in the variety show. After not acting for a few years, the audience had almost forgotten about her, the Golden Horse Award’s Best Actress.

“What platform do people usually use to live broadcast?” Ye Zhenzhen asked.

“D-Music. Do you not use D-Music?”

Ye Zhenzhen nodded. The original owner of this body did not use D-Music, but with it, it would be easier to achieve what she wanted to do.

The original owner of this body didn’t use D-Music, but she did before she transmigrated.

Xu Wanjia was puzzled, “Why are you asking about this?”

“It’s a small matter. I’ll make a call first.”

[What did Ye Zhenzhen say to the director’s wife?]

[Could it be that she was telling her where those two oranges came from and wants to show off her pitiful sympathy to make her presence known?]

[The commenter above is a little too petty. No one can be so narrow-minded, right?]

[When it comes to Ye Jianjian, we really can’t say for sure!]

Ye Zhenzhen turned around and borrowed the cameraman’s phone to call the director again. She asked the director, “Director, today’s task is to buy the ingredients for lunch and dinner with 20 yuan. Is there any other task?”

Director Fei held his phone and stared at the screen. He shook his head, “No, that’s about all for today.”

What did Ye Zhenzhen want to do? He was completely confused.

“If you can’t give me my wallet, can you give me my phone or tablet for a day?”

“No,” Director Fei said.

Ye Zhenzhen asked again, “Can I use my time as I wish today?”

“Of course.”

Director Fei thought that as long as she didn’t ask for her wallet or phone, it would be fine.

“Thank you.”

After saying that, Ye Zhenzhen was about to hang up the phone.

Director Fei shouted, “Wait, Ye Zhenzhen, what are you trying to do?”

He had a bad feeling that Ye Zhenzhen was planning something big.

Ye Zhenzhen turned around and glanced at the cameraman. She whispered to him, “Brother, go film the child. I’ll discuss it with the director.”

The cameraman silently backed away.

Since the director had asked, Ye Zhenzhen did not intend to hide her plans.

“Director, I want to ask if I can sell oranges on a live broadcast using D-Music. Since you won’t give me my wallet or phone, I was planning to borrow the cameraman’s phone to help the old lady sell oranges.”

A live broadcast with D-Music?

Director Fei almost fainted from anger. He took two deep breaths and said slowly, “Ye Zhenzhen, you can do a live broadcast of selling oranges, but you can’t do it on D-Music. Do you know that we are also a live-broadcasted variety show? If you do that, the fans will go to other platforms!”

Then what was the point of his live-broadcast variety show? Director Fei did not want to lose the netizens he had gathered with great difficulty.

Ye Zhenzhen was overjoyed.

“Director, can you get add a link in the live broadcast rooms, then? I’m going to ask the old granny about the price now. Also, you’re not allowed to charge them a commission. You have to give them all the money we earn.”

Director Fei frowned.

“What kind of person do you think I am? You go talk to the old lady. I’ll get someone to prepare the link in the background.”

“Thank you, Director!”
