Chapter 374 Teacher He's Incessant Wailing!

This guy is worth hundreds of millions and is an Oscar-winning actor, but after spending a lot of time around him, you always feel like he's brewing some big surprise.

Wang Han caught that fleeting smirk.

"Why do I have this feeling that Xiao Chen has already dug this pit for us?"

Xiao Chen didn't reply, but just blinked gently. His peach blossom eyes instantly softened the atmosphere in the courtyard.

"Let's go, let's talk about serious matters."

He grabbed Dilraba behind him with one hand and supported Anita Mui with the other.

A group of people sat around a small wooden table in the center of the courtyard.

"Village Grand Celebration"

Xiao Chen pointed to the village entrance in the distance.

"This is the grand finale of this episode, and it's also a way to leave the villagers with something to look forward to."

Everyone responded enthusiastically.

Stephen Chow pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, his expression serious, but he uttered words with a very personal style.

"A stage, lights, and beautiful women... this idea has great potential."

The venue was chosen to be the open-air square in the village.

There is a century-old locust tree there, a natural backdrop.

"The venue issue has been resolved, but the equipment..."

Xiao Chen turned his head to look at the camera hidden behind the flowers.

"Director Wang, shouldn't we borrow our sound equipment, mixing console, and those professional spotlights?"

The director smiled wryly behind the monitor; this kid always had such a precise grasp on the production team.

Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow, his tone gentle yet firm.

"Of course, there's no such thing as a free lunch."

"If we want the equipment, we have to exchange it for the fruits of our labor."

"We have a lot of tasks this afternoon. We need to help Grandpa Wang level that barren slope and also transport stones from the stream."

Teacher He and Wang Han exchanged a glance and instantly understood the meaning of the sentence, "I hope the elegance can be maintained this afternoon."

Xiao Chen quickly assigned tasks.

"Brothers, the physical work is up to you."

He looked at Leslie Cheung and Stephen Chow.

Leslie Cheung elegantly rolled up his sleeves, even though he was wearing a simple cotton and linen shirt.

It still possesses the same shocking and unconventional charm as Cheng Dieyi in "Farewell My Concubine".

"Alright, for the sake of tonight's stage, I'll have to do the hard work."

Stephen Chow then jokingly did a chest-expanding exercise.

"Don't worry, I have divine protection. Carrying bricks is perfect for me."

So, Leslie Cheung led Teacher He, Wang Han, and Stephen Chow, and they quickly headed towards the barren hillside behind the mountain.

The four powerful figures in the entertainment industry, standing at this moment, exuded a comical sense of resignation to their fate.

Xiao Chen, Dilraba, and Mei Yanfang remained in the courtyard.

Xiao Chen looked down at Dilraba.

She always seemed a little awkward in front of Xiao Chen, her fingers twisting together.

"Brother Chen, where are we going?"

Xiao Chen casually placed a straw hat on her head, his technique surprisingly skillful.

"Let's go do the most important thing."

"Census, and robbery on the side."

Mui Yan-fang was amused and reached out to pat Xiao Chen on the back of the head.

"You brat, you have no manners when you talk to your older sister."

The three of them walked out of the courtyard and headed towards the village chief's house along the winding pebble path.

Along the way.

The farmers along the roadside stopped hoeing and stared intently at Xiao Chen.

Even though Xiao Chen is wearing the most ordinary sportswear, it can't hide the dazzling aura of an award-winning actor that is ingrained in his bones.

After all, he's a man who has won the Golden Rooster Award, an Oscar, and even a Grammy Award.

"This child looks just like he stepped out of a painting."

An older woman stopped in her tracks, her mouth slightly agape.

Xiao Chen stopped and gave the aunt a bright, dazzling smile.

"Auntie, there's a show in the square this afternoon. Remember to bring your family to support it."

His voice was very captivating, and the aunt blushed instantly, nodding repeatedly.

We arrived at the village chief's house.

The village chief was weaving bamboo baskets in the yard when he saw Xiao Chen. He was so excited that he dropped the bamboo strips in his hands.

"Oh my, the big star has arrived!"

Xiao Chen quickly stepped forward and grabbed the village chief's arm.

"Village chief, please don't be so polite, just call me Xiao Chen."

"We'd like to hold a party in the square tonight, and we'd like to borrow your long tables and some red lanterns."

The village chief readily agreed and hurriedly told his wife to fetch the things.

"No problem! Forget the table, you can even use my old fireworks that I've had for years!"

Xiao Chen thanked him with a smile while taking out a notebook.

"Village chief, how many people live in our village permanently now?"

"How many children are there? How many elderly people with mobility issues?"

He scribbled quickly on the paper, his pen moving rapidly.

Although they appeared to be chatting casually, every piece of statistical data was extremely rigorous.

Dilraba watched silently from the side.

Mei Yanfang leaned against the doorway, quietly observing the young man before her.

She and Leslie Cheung had remarked countless times in private that Xiao Chen was born to do this job.

It's not just about appearance.

More importantly, it's the ability to instantly take control of the situation, no matter where you are.

"The count is complete; the village has a total of 162 people."

Xiao Chen closed his notebook and looked up at Dilraba.

"Xiao Di, go to the village store later and exchange all the remaining funds we had for candy and stationery."

"They will be given to the children as interactive prizes during the party."

Dilraba nodded obediently, her eyes full of admiration.

Xiao Chen turned to look at Mei Yanfang, his eyes instantly becoming serious.

"Sister Mei, we still need to visit the homes of a few craftsmen in the village."

"I'd like some unique paper-cutting and local specialties as gifts for the elderly."

Anita Mui raised an eyebrow.

"You've thought of everything."

The three of them wandered through the village lanes.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Wang Han's painful wails could be heard from the barren slope.

"My back! Xiao Chen definitely did this on purpose!"

Teacher He gasped for breath while forcing a wry smile.

"Be content, at least we're still alive to work here."

"Since Xiao Chen dared to plan this kind of segment, there must be a surprise waiting for us at the end."

Leslie Cheung wiped his sweat and looked at the shovel in his hand.

"I actually find this feeling quite novel."

"Take off that celebrity persona, and here I am just an ordinary person doing farm work."

Back to Xiao Chen's side.

He was standing in front of an old woman, patiently listening to her tell the legends of the village.

that moment.

His appearance is no longer a weapon, but a wonderful medium that can bring people closer together.

Everyone who passed by was captivated by his gentle and kind nature.

Even with a net worth of over 100 million and worldwide fame, he stands here, just like a part of this mountain wilderness.

Xiao Chen lowered his head slightly, concealing the weariness in his eyes.

Wang Jinhua once told him that the hardest thing in this industry is to stay true to yourself.

But every step he takes now is transforming this "true nature" into an invincible force.

He had the timing of the show right.

They accurately predicted the guests' emotions.

They even predicted how Shiba Culture's status in the industry would rise again after this season ended.

But there was nothing written on his face.

Only that gentle smile that felt like a spring breeze.

"Let's go, next one."

He called to the two ladies behind him and disappeared around the corner.
