Zhao Yan saw many villagers as soon as she arrived and felt a bit touched by their enthusiasm.
"Girl, you're really amazing."
"We villagers of Linjia Village are truly grateful to you. Without you, this village would still be impoverished," the village chief said, extending his hand and firmly grasping Zhao Yan's wrist.
"Yes, Sister Zhao. Even before dawn, many people are already visiting Linjia Village, and the roads are blocked. Lin Laojiu and his wife are overjoyed; the agritainment business is booming."
Listening to them describe the village's situation one after another, Zhao Yan felt greatly relieved.
Seeing them happy, Zhao Yan was also happy.
"Let's go take a look around the village," Zhao Yan said with a smile.
Since the villagers had come all this way, she definitely had to see what was going on.
The villagers were all very happy. Riding with them in their vehicles, they headed towards Linjia Village.
Initially, the villagers worried that Zhao Yan might look down on them, as their cars were either dilapidated tricycles or old motorcycles.
The better ones were Wuling Hongguangs.
Seeing Zhao Yan sitting in their cars and chatting and laughing with them, many villagers smiled.
The Zhao girl from back then hadn't changed; even with money now, she was still the same girl they knew.
Before even reaching Linjia Village, Zhao Yan noticed that many cars were already jammed.
Just as the villagers had said, there were too many people; cars were backed up from inside to outside.
"Girl, we can only walk into the village now."
Zhao Yan waved her hand and said, "It's fine, I can walk."
The village chief got out of the Wuling Hongguang, and Zhao Yan walked into Linjia Village with them.
The village had changed drastically.
She had last visited Linjia Village only six months ago.
Now, six months later, Linjia Village was completely transformed.
The mud-walled houses in the village had been replaced by brand-new two-story houses.
The village, which used to look very dirty, was now completely renovated. The roads were paved with cement, and the villagers took great care of them, with villagers voluntarily cleaning every day.
As a result, the entire village road looked clean and tidy.
"Good," Zhao Yan nodded and smiled.
"Girl, why don't you go take a look at our plantation?" the village chief said happily.
Zhao Yan agreed and followed the village chief to the plantation.
The orange trees in the village were growing very well, and the oranges were large.
"Master is here!"
As Zhao Yan was watching, she heard a voice from behind. Turning around, she saw Wang Xianzhi.
His clothes were covered in dirt.
At first glance, she thought she had mistaken him for someone else.
"Well done, disciple," Zhao Yan praised, patting Wang Xianzhi on the shoulder.
With this plantation, the developed tourist attractions, and the Taoist temple on the mountain, Linjia Village was sure to escape poverty and prosper.
She felt she had made a contribution to these villagers.
"Master, the Taoist temple is ready. I was thinking it would be very good to invite Grandmaster to come and preside over the temple," Wang Xianzhi suggested.
Zhao Yan also had this idea; inviting the old man to preside over the temple was indeed a good choice.
"I'll talk to him about it then," Zhao Yan said.
Leaving the plantation, she went to the agritainment restaurant.
The agritainment restaurant had already opened, and many villagers were busy. To the right of the restaurant was the attraction developed by Wang Xianzhi and others using the Linjia River, where people could go boating.
These projects were all interconnected, aiming to make Linjia Village a model village.
"Isn't that woman Zhao Yan?"
"Zhao Yan? No way, would Zhao Yan come to a place like this? Isn't she a very popular celebrity recently?"
"Why wouldn't she come? This is the tourist village she recommended, and she even promotes products for the fruit farmers in the fields."
The tourists at the agritainment restaurant were a bit stunned, and their eyes turned towards Zhao Yan.
At first, they didn't dare to recognize her, but once they were sure, the crowd let out a collective gasp.
Many people hurried towards Zhao Yan, causing a crowd surge.
"Sister Zhao, your disguise has been recognized," Wu Jiaxin said.
Zhao Yan was wearing a mask and a hat but no sunglasses, feeling that sunglasses would only draw more attention.
She hadn't expected someone to recognize her by her eyes.
Many of these tourists were Zhao Yan's fans.
The villagers were also very friendly to the fans, with some products offering a 30% discount.
"Holy cow, it's really Zhao Yan, everyone."
"Quick, get your phones, get your phones!"
Many people took out their phones and started taking pictures of her.
"Master, there are too many people here. Why don't we leave first to avoid any stampede?" Wang Xianzhi reminded her.
Zhao Yan took a few steps but then retreated. She didn't want to disappoint her fans.
These people were essentially her source of livelihood.
Since she had been recognized, there was no need to pretend. She directly took off her mask and hat.
The moment she took them off, the crowd exclaimed again.
"It really is Zhao Yan!"
"Coming to Linjia Village was definitely worth it! I knew Zhao Yan would come to Linjia Village, I bet right!"
"Nonsense! You clearly came for the agritainment's 30% discount for fans!"
Zhao Yan raised her hand, signaling them not to get too excited.
She never considered herself a celebrity or anything. She felt she was just a somewhat famous video blogger.
Therefore, she didn't put on airs of a celebrity.
"If you want to take photos, you can take them with me, but please don't crowd.
"There are too many people. Let's take photos in groups of five. After we're done, we can share them with each other. I'm truly sorry, but if there's a chance, I'll take individual photos with everyone."
"Let's go in groups of five, line up."
After Zhao Yan finished speaking, everyone voluntarily lined up.
Zhao Yan spent several hours taking photos with them in an orderly fashion.
Many people posted their photos with Zhao Yan online.
Unexpectedly, this action caused her to trend on hot search again and again.
This was truly unexpected.
Many fans who hadn't visited Linjia Village immediately searched for Linjia Village.
Some fans even traveled from several provinces away.
With so many people searching, Linjia Village became a trending topic.
To avoid disappointing the fans who had come, Zhao Yan stayed in Linjia Village for another day before leaving.
Meanwhile, her drama [Sword Immortal Romance] had passed the review and its broadcast time was confirmed: the day after tomorrow, during prime time, at 9 PM and 10:30 PM, with two episodes broadcast each night.
It would also be simultaneously broadcast on various video websites.
[Holy Cow, Master!]'s five branches also began operating, achieving excellent results right from the start.
Especially the peace talisman, which could provide relief to many patients suffering from insomnia and anxiety.
