After reading the text message, Li Xiao hesitated for a few seconds, his thoughts swinging wildly between whether to go or not.
But a few seconds later, he shook his head and entered He Ruochu's number on his phone.
The phone's waiting tone only rang for two seconds before the other party picked up the phone.
"Hello, hello, I'm Li Xiao, I just received your message."
"Hello, Mr. Li Xiao, it is indeed the invitation I asked the people below to send out."
"Although this public service announcement will only be promoted at the entrance and exit of the subway station."
"But the effect is quite good. When will you be free to come over and take photos?"
"It doesn't take much time. About three or four hours is enough."
Although Ms. Ruochu spoke very low-key and modestly, Li Xiao understood that things were not as simple as the other party said.
The flow of people at the entrance and exit of the subway should not be underestimated. If you change someone else, you may have already made an appointment with the other person.
But Li Xiao had a plan in mind before making the call.
Therefore, he was not attracted by the advertisements at the subway entrances and exits.
"Thank you very much for Ms. He's kindness. That's it. I'm afraid I will reject your kindness."
"It was just a coincidence that I saved Ms. He's child."
"You just gave me a large amount of money, which is completely enough as a reward."
"Let's forget about this public welfare promotion."
"this...."
He Ruochu held the phone with a surprised look on his face.
Originally, she thought that the reason why Li Xiao refused the tens of thousands of dollars was because the other party's income was very high and he didn't like the tens of thousands of dollars at all.
Therefore, she immediately changed her way of expressing gratitude.
In her opinion, for an Internet celebrity anchor living in the traffic era, enough traffic is a huge wealth for them, and no Internet celebrity can resist this temptation.
Of course, when she was at Liyuan Restaurant at the beginning, she was just making casual remarks.
However, after returning home, she asked someone to check Li Xiao's information.
After a thorough investigation, she discovered that the other person was actually a positive internet celebrity who had done countless good things and good things.
Now, she had a change of heart.
The other party saved his own son, so he repaid the favor and gave the other party a journey of wealth.
This kind of thing will definitely become a good story in the industry.
However, she didn't expect that the other party actually refused.
"Okay, if you change your mind, just call me again."
"Okay, thank you again, Ms. He, for your kindness. Goodbye."
"goodbye."
Li Xiao hung up the phone and let out a long breath.
It's not that he doesn't want to be famous, but that he's worried about owing favors.
Although the other party said that he was repaying the kindness, the reward was really too big.
Moreover, according to what the other party wanted at that time, the other party's husband had already passed away.
You can't get too involved with the other party.
Turn off your phone and put these messy problems behind you.
After a night of silence, Li Xiao got up early the next day.
As soon as the live broadcast started, he started giving out benefits.
"I'm very happy to meet you all again. Wow, there are so many people here so early in the morning. The anchor is really touched."
"The number of people online now is 340,000, so the benefit this morning is..."
He deliberately drew a long note to attract everyone's attention.
"All viewers located in Yangcheng can participate, and 34 lucky viewers will be drawn here."
"You can have morning tea with me. The place we are going to today is a very famous dim sum restaurant [Taotaoju]!"
"Not only will I invite the audience who are drawn to eat as much as they want, but I will also reimburse the round trip expenses!"
"It's 8 a.m. now, and our meeting time will be 9 a.m."
"The location is [Taotaoju] in Shangxiajiu. The lottery begins now!"
Li Xiao was talking and operating in the background just now. When he finished speaking.
A lottery interface with positioning requirements appears in the live broadcast interface of all viewers who are located in Yangcheng in real time.
The live broadcast room was filled with wailing for an instant.
"Anchor, I'm in Shenzhen. I can definitely arrive within an hour!"
“The opportunity for a free meal is mine!”
"Why, why can't I draw a lottery!"
"Anchor, I'm your biggest fan! You can't do this to me!"
"Although, you may not be able to draw me, but I have to go!"
"I love it, I love it. The anchor is so good, so many benefits."
·····
The lottery ended soon, and 34 lists immediately appeared on the lottery interface.
"Well, congratulations, old immortal from South China, swordsmen everywhere, death is like the wind, always with my heart... Waiting for the 34 lucky viewers, please arrive on time at 9 o'clock."
"I will pick up the number in advance at the door. Remember to come on time!"
While chatting with the audience, Li Xiao left the hotel.
This five-star hotel is not far from Shangxiajiu, where Taotaoju is located, and can be reached by walking.
After walking for about half an hour, Li Xiao arrived at Taotaoju.
The queuing mechanism here is also advancing with the times, just scan the QR code to get the number.
When there are still several numbers left before your number, he will send a text message reminder.
I looked at the lists in my hand and saw that they were all for large tables.
The earliest one had 6 numbers in front of it, and the estimated time was 40 minutes.
It's a bit long, but there's nothing we can do about it, it's Saturday after all.
Many parents who don't have to work are willing to take the whole family out for morning tea on weekends.
Fortunately, Li Xiao got up relatively early. It would have been half an hour later.
The queue time is not 40 minutes, but two or three hours.
Seeing as there is plenty of time, waiting at the door is not a problem.
Li Xiao turned around and went downstairs, walking towards Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street.
"Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street is one of the three most traditional commercial districts in Guangzhou."
"The total length is more than 1,000 meters, and there are more than 500 shops in total."
"The earliest records of Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street can be traced back to the Song Dynasty."
"During the Song Dynasty, this street was already quite developed, and a large number of merchants gathered here to conduct trade."
At this time, Li Xiao happened to see a small shop with an entrance of only half a meter, and Li Xiao pointed the camera at this shop.
"Because this area has a long history and a large flow of people, the rent here is also quite high."
Li Xiao walked to this small stall with a camera. This small stall was filled with a dazzling array of fruits, which looked really beautiful under the light.
He walked to the front of the shop selling freshly cut fruits and asked politely:
"Hello, boss, we are doing a live broadcast here, and I would like to ask how much does your monthly rent cost?"
The boss was a skinny middle-aged man. He glanced at the seemingly professional camera equipment in Li Xiao's hand.
With a smile on his face he said:
"One month's rent does not count as one month here. We pay it every two years here."
He held out two fingers and continued the introduction:
"The rent for my small shop is 500,000 yuan for two years, paid in one lump sum."
"When it expires in two years, a new contract will be signed."
"However, I have already made the calculation here. Those larger stores will sign once a year."
·····
The corner of Li Xiao's mouth twitched. He had previously checked that the rent in Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street was very expensive, but he did not expect it to be so ridiculously expensive.
Converting this 500,000 yuan, one month's rent would be more than 20,000 yuan.
Although he is very rich now, he will never spend 20,000 yuan a month to rent a shop that is only a little more than one square meter.
After listening to the boss's introduction, Li Xiao quietly took back the steps he had already taken.
Although 100 grams of freshly cut fruit actually costs 8 yuan, which is a bit expensive, but after hearing about the other party’s shop rent, I decided to buy it.
Li Xiao actually felt that the fruit was sold a bit too cheaply.
