The videos of Xia Weiliang helping the aunties and grandmas in her neighborhood fix their phones and change their plans went viral online.
There hadn't been much else interesting happening lately, and these videos had become a source of joy for netizens!
Not only were they entertained, but the telecommunications company "Lian Tong Tong" also reacted immediately – inviting her to be their spokesperson.
Being hired by such a nationally recognized big company as a spokesperson undoubtedly boosted the celebrity's profile. Lian Tong Tong was known for showering their endorsements with advertising that stretched from street to street, seamlessly integrating across all tiers of cities.
Mei Yu was ecstatic; this was Lian Tong Tong!
They hadn't been short of endorsement offers, but Ji Huan had rejected them all. She didn't want Xia Weiliang to make quick money by exploiting her fame, and unless it was a product consumers could trust, she would never let Xia Weiliang take such risks.
But there was no risk with Lian Tong Tong, and everyone knew how vast their customer service team was! To put it simply, after the initial engagement of one spokesperson, they hadn't needed anyone else afterward!
It was rumored that senior executives had watched the videos and were greatly impressed by the natural and unpretentious demeanor of the female celebrity. There was no forced performance, it was as if she were just chatting with the aunties downstairs! Most importantly, when calling their customer service, she had even managed to compliment them at the end by saying, "Your service is really good!"
"Your service is really good!!"
It was this very phrase that vindicated Lian Tong Tong's customer service and made their corporate image more approachable!
Who wouldn't sign such a spokesperson?
Were they waiting for "Nuo Dong Dong" to poach her?!
And so, Xia Weiliang somehow became the spokesperson for Lian Tong Tong.
Coincidentally, "Shu Nü" had also concluded perfectly.
Xia Weiliang lay flat on the sofa, looking at a message from the bank on her phone, smiling as she counted the zeros.
"The endorsement fee arrived so quickly? It's almost faster than I imagined... Wow, and they were so generous, giving me so much money, I don't even know how to spend it! It's exhausting just thinking about it..."
Liu Yaozong, who was sitting on the carpet peeling pomelo for her, looked up. "Sister Weiliang, if you really don't know how to spend it, why not give it to me? I'll take on the burden for you!"
Xia Weiliang glanced at him. "Let's settle the money you owe first!"
Liu Yaozong immediately plastered a smile on his face. "Sister Weiliang, does your back hurt? Would you like me to give you a massage? Are you thirsty? Would you like some ginseng tea?"
Seeing his eagerness, Xia Weiliang chuckled. "Go and get that package from the cabinet."
"Coming right up!"
He scurried over to retrieve it and then offered it with both hands.
"Open it."
"Okay."
He opened it to find a stack of cash!
He froze, looking at her in confusion.
Xia Weiliang, eating pomelo, said vaguely, "You're part of my team now. When I sign endorsements and accept jobs, you all get a share. Nuomi and Yuan Ge have theirs. Yours is a bit less because you're still in your probationary period, so here's this for now. There will be more in the future. Of course, that's assuming you pray to me three times a day with incense sticks, wishing me to become an evergreen tree."
Looking at the stack of money, Liu Yaozong's lips started to curve again.
"Hold it back!" Xia Weiliang glared at him. "You're grown up, don't cry at the drop of a hat. If you're this sissy, what girl will marry you?"
"I'm just touched~"
Liu Yaozong was speaking the truth.
Growing up, his parents had doted on him to the point of spoiling him. He only saw it as the natural order of things and sometimes even found their nagging annoying. As for his only sister, they never got along as children; Xia Yiran disliked him, and he didn't particularly like her either.
Since the Liu family's downfall, all their relatives and friends had distanced themselves. It was nothing like the solicitous and attentive attitude Xia Yiran had shown when she first "recognized kinship."
Only Xia Weiliang, the person least likely to help them, had supported him and his mother all the way.
In the past, Liu Yaozong would have seen "career" as something glorious and would never have considered driving for someone else!
At this moment, Liu Yaozong, even if he was just driving, considered it his career as long as it could support his mother and himself. Moreover, many people envied him for driving Xia Weiliang, and even his colleagues said that "Empress Xia" was kind and generous, and that following her brought good fortune!
Looking at the stack of money in his hand, he knew very well that she was just making an excuse to give them money, wanting them to live more comfortably. She hadn't forced it on him out of consideration for his pride.
He really... didn't deserve any of this!
"Sister Weiliang, just tell me where you want to go, and I promise to drive you there steadily!"
Liu Yaozong's entrepreneurial spirit ignited!
The best way to repay Xia Weiliang was to work hard and become a leader in the driving industry!
"I don't have anywhere I want to go..."
Xia Weiliang suddenly paused, her brows furrowing slightly, before she finally spoke slowly, "I do want to go somewhere."
"Great! Tell me! Where?"
Liu Yaozong began to rub his hands together in anticipation.

According to the trajectory of her rebirth, Liu Village would be filmed during the second season of "Courage."
In the real world, "Courage" hadn't even finished its first season, so Liu Village didn't exist yet.
However, Xia Weiliang still wanted to visit that place again!
It had become a persistent worry for her.
She had disappeared from a hidden studio at the Zhou Factory in Liu Village. She had secretly wondered if visiting again would send her back.
Or perhaps...
Did she want to go back?
Of course, she wanted to. Her life's trajectory had only begun to change after her rebirth. She had invested too many emotions in that world, but she couldn't deny that the real world was cruel. Su Dan Novel Network
Or perhaps, it was a world that never existed, and it had all been a dream, albeit a very realistic one.
Regardless, she had to go.
From the moment they entered the boundaries of Liu Village, Xia Weiliang acted like a regular customer, directing Liu Yaozong into the village and pointing out the scenery on both sides.
"Sister Weiliang, you've been here before?"
Liu Yaozong asked curiously.
"No, I haven't! I just guessed!"
She guessed so confidently?
"Oh, right, Sister Weiliang, did you tell Brother Yi you were coming here?"
Xia Weiliang looked out the window and said vaguely, "Do I have to tell him? And even if I don't, if he wants to know where I am, he'll find out immediately."
Liu Yaozong chuckled as he drove. "Is it the same if he finds out himself versus you telling him personally? Firstly, the sincerity is very different! If you're out all night and don't report it, you're just asking for trouble, or causing trouble for me."
He struggled to maintain a smile. "Sister Weiliang, make a call now, so the film emperor doesn't worry!"
Xia Weiliang suddenly leaned forward and stared at him. "Tell me, did he bribe you?"
