Chapter 1: Am I a Star?

  Chapter 001: Am I A Star?

  Luobu City, Taolan County! At this time, it was around two or three o'clock in the afternoon. The sun in the sky was still high up, and the temperature was very high, making many people unbearable, hiding at home blowing electric fans or air conditioners.

  However, at this time in the county town's large market, it was crowded with people. Inside were all some ordinary folks who came to buy cheap vegetables and daily necessities. They also feared the heat, but there were some people who walked from remote rural areas, when they arrived here it was already noon, they hurriedly bought some essential items for living and had to rush back before dark.

  In the crowd, there was a young man in his early twenties who looked somewhat handsome with some mud stuck on his face, wearing a sleeveless vest and a pair of yellow rubber shoes.

  Luo Chuan didn't want to come to the big market on such a hot day either, he'd rather stay at home under the big poplar tree, feel the cool breeze, fan himself and chat with his grandfather about strange and interesting things, how comfortable that would be! However, he had no choice but to come here because there wasn't much rice left at home, and he came here to buy some rice back.

  In the village where Luo Chuan lives, the vast majority of villagers plant vegetables, including some greenhouses for planting vegetables, but no one plants rice. It's not because the terrain and climate here are not suitable, but now farmers live too hard, whatever makes money is planted, this can't be decided so easily.

  After searching around, Luochuan chose the cheapest rice store and bought 100 kilograms of rice. After paying, the owner asked if he needed someone to help him carry it. Luochuan replied with a smile, "No need, I'm full of energy, do I still need others to help me?!" His broad shoulders had already proven that what he said was not empty talk.

  After finishing, he lightly threw the hundred or so kilograms of rice-filled sacks onto his shoulders and left. He, like the farmers who came here, had to rush back to the village before dark! At home in Kao Shan Village, there were Da Huang dog Ah Huang, the sturdy little fat pig Dudu, and old yellow cow "Old Ken" waiting for him to feed them.

  Luo Chuan didn't have much money on him, and the village he lived in was only thirty or so miles away from here. For him, carrying a hundred or so pounds of hemp sacks back to the village on foot was simply an easy task, so he hadn't planned on taking the bus back home, even though the rural roads had all been paved with asphalt and buses were running on them in recent years.

  Just as I walked to the intersection of Tianlan County, waiting for passing vehicles to pass by, a middle-aged man with a goat beard suddenly jumped out of a black sedan and ran quickly towards Luo Chuan, shouting loudly in his mouth.

  Luo Chuan furrowed his brow and looked around, finding that there was no one else beside him, only himself waiting for the traffic to pass. He thought to himself in confusion, "This big fool, isn't he talking to me?" At this time, while waiting for the traffic to pass, Luo Chuan had temporarily placed the large sack on his shoulder onto the ground, revealing his sunny and handsome face.

  At this time, the goat whiskers had also run to Luochuan's side, panting and covering his chest with one hand, gasping for breath. The other hand pointed at Luochuan's nose and said, "Big star, I finally found you!" After a pause, he suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly into the air, "Finally let me find it first!"

  "Damn it, psycho!" Rong Chuan didn't give him any face, his mind was still thinking about his own Ah Huang and old yellow cow "Old Ken". Who had the leisure to waste time with a psycho here?! Moreover, his grandfather was waiting for him, if he returned home late today, he might get beaten and scolded.

  Luochuan had been with Grandpa for so many years, and he knew that the thing Grandpa hated most was his own procrastination.

  "Listen to me, just three minutes, just three minutes, okay? Young man, I'm begging you, or else I'll kneel down for you, just listen to me for three minutes!" The goat-bearded man struck a stubborn pose, determined to say a few words to Luo Chuan.

  Luo Chuan's eyebrows furrowed into a "Chuan" character, but he was naturally kind-hearted and not very good at refusing others. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then hurry up and say it! I still have to go home and feed Ah Huang, Dudu, and Old Ken!"

  The goat beard didn't know that he was talking about his own family's livestock, took a step forward and grabbed Luochuan's hand, saying in a slightly urgent tone, "Our big boss has been searching for someone who looks like you all over the country for half a year, I finally found one, I definitely can't miss this opportunity. Please follow me back!"

  Luo Chuan quickly shook off his hand, now is daytime and there are many people coming and going, if someone misunderstood that he and the goat-bearded man had some unclear relationship, then even jumping into the Yellow River couldn't wash it clean.

  Luo Chuan thought for a moment and said, "I'm in a hurry to go home, can you say what's on your mind quickly?" His face had already shown some impatience.

  The goat-bearded man spat a mouthful of saliva on the ground and said, "Don't you know that your face looks like a certain celebrity? Come back with me, I guarantee you'll earn at least 100,000 yuan per year. Do you understand what 'annual salary of 100,000' means?"

  Luo Chuan shook his head, these monetary calculations were just unknown numbers in his heart. His usual plan was to eat enough for two people and not let the whole family go hungry. What's the use of talking about annual salaries of 100,000 or more? It might be able to deceive those newly graduated college students, but it didn't work on Luo Chuan at all.

  Look at Luochuan, who is not interested in what he said to himself. The goat beard also became anxious and said, "You just follow me, and later your family's dogs, pigs, sheep, etc. will all be my responsibility. If there are any relatives in your family who want something, just tell me."

  After he said that, Luo Chuan immediately became spirited and said, "Is what you're saying true? My grandfather has always wanted to live in a big house in the city!"

  The goat-bearded man looked alert and asked, "How big a house?"

  Luo Chuan thought carefully and replied, "At least two rooms! I'll live in one room and Grandpa will live in the other!"

  "Alright, I've got everything under control. Time is of the essence, let's get out of here now! Give me an address and I'll send someone to pick up your grandfather right away. Later, our people will give you a phone, and also one for your grandfather, so you two can be in touch again!"

  Here is the translation:

  As he said that, Mountain Goat Beard pushed and pulled Raksha into his black car, gave the driver a few simple orders, and the car quickly left here and sped towards Luobai City.
