Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Neighbors Who Aspire to be Interne

Originally, these neighbors didn't have such bad intentions; they just thought it was pretty cool that the Xiao Family had produced a big star, so they secretly snapped a few photos of Xiao Wan and posted them online to boast about knowing a big celebrity.

But little did they know, as soon as the photos were uploaded, they received tens of thousands of likes, and so people even offered money for them to take more shots. Eventually, soone suggested live streaming, ntioning that internet celebrities could make a lot of money and that one could earn tens of thousands from just one session.

For ordinary people, this was undoubtedly a huge sum - who wouldn't want to stream a few tis and make enough money to live comfortably?

Thus, under the guidance of so schers, a resident tested the waters by live streaming Xiao Wan's return ho. In just twenty minutes, by rely filming Xiao Wan walking and buying groceries, they made over twenty thousand!

Keep in mind, this resident worked himself to death all year long and only made seventy or eighty thousand, while today, filming Xiao Wan, he made a quarter of his annual salary!

Word spread quickly, and most of the community mbers spontaneously ford a group, dedicated to filming Xiao Wan after she got off work. Those with good relations with the Xiao family even had her greet their family mbers onscreen openly after filming.

This stirred the envy of many, after all, everyone had lived in the sa alley, seeing each other every day. "We're all your elders," they justified, "so making a bit of money off of this isn't too much to ask, right?"

So these people beca more and more outrageous, no longer satisfied with just sneak shots; they openly demanded Xiao Wan cooperate with their filming efforts.

"Now that she's a big star, she's forgotten all about us, her old neighbors. Back in the day, Xiao Wan was my daughter's classmate and even ate at our house. She used to call auntie so affectionately, and now she turns her back on us!"

"Exactly, do you think it's easy for us? We stay under the hot sun every day just waiting for her to co ho, and she just says a few words and leaves, making the 'big brothers' in my livestream stop sending gifts!"

"Asking her to say a few words is like asking for her life. She's made so much money outside, why can't she share a bit of the spoils with us, her family and friends? Look at how stingy she is. I'm telling you, Xiao Wan definitely won't stay famous for long!"

...

Such sentints spread among the crowd. In their eyes, a big star's daily work wasn't tiring at all, so why couldn't she satisfy their little needs after work?

That's why they thought Xiao Wan was an, resentful of their attempts to make money.

Xiao Wan stood there, unsure whether to laugh or cry, feeling a chill all over her body. How shaless were these people? How could they rely on filming her to make money and then turn around to criticize her?

Besides, she never asked them to wait for her at the community's entrance, did she? When she wasn't famous, she never saw a single one of them offer her comfort.

"Such a young girl, with no backing or connections, managing to enter a drama troupe, could it be..."

"Don't you know the murky waters of the entertainnt industry? So many girls climb the ranks with their bodies, do you think she could be an exception?"

"It's so disgusting, living in the sa community as her is just embarrassing. I must go back and spill so tea to the folks in my livestream!"

At that, Xiao Wan couldn't hold it in any longer. After surveying the crowd with a cold glare, she shouted, "Move aside, I want to go ho!"

Having said that, she pushed through the crowd and walked away.

But these people did not give up; instead, they followed Xiao Wan, continuing to film her.

Only when Xiao Wan finally got ho and closed the door did these people reluctantly disperse.

"Brothers, I can't continue today, but tonight I can share so stories about Xiao Wan's puppy love in junior high!"

"Alright folks, for the 'big brothers' who are interested in Xiao Wan's ho address, send gifts and DM , I can arrange a chance for you to et Xiao Wan, you know~"

"Xiao Wan is just a junior, what's she so cocky about! I was drinking with her dad before she was even born! Co on, family, send those gifts, and if Xiao Wan still refuses to cooperate with my filming, I'll just go right up to her doorstep!"

The residents watched the popularity of the live broadcast room soar and felt a wild joy inside—they were making a killing! They had not expected to earn several tis more than usual after the argunt with Xiao Wan today!

Xiao Wan was truly a cornucopia; relying on her, one could eat for a lifeti!

The next morning at five o'clock, Xiao Wan snuck out of the neighborhood, and only after getting in the car did she breathe a sigh of relief.

These neighbors were just too crazy, soone in the building across from her had even been snapping photos of her bedroom, leaving her to spend a restless night, always feeling like soone was outside.

"Xiao Wan, why not just sue them? Continuing like this isn't a solution!" the little assistant said indignantly.

"Let's wait and see..."

Having arrived at the set, Xiao Wan got her makeup done and started filming, but no matter how hard she tried to find her groove, sothing always felt off.

After muddling through the morning, the director decided to take a break for a few hours.

After all, who dared to criticize the grand niece of the big boss? Even if they had to resort to using Photoshop to replace her head in post-production, no one would speak up.

During the break, the director sat next to Xiao Wan with the script in hand, asking with a smile, "Feeling unwell? If so, let's rest for a couple of days, and talk after you've recuperated."

Xiao Wan forced a bitter smile; this was no longer just a physical illness. If she continued to be exploited by that group of neighbors, she might even grow to detest being in front of the cara.

"Thanks for your concern, Director. I've just run into so troubles..."

The director, who had been in the entertainnt industry for decades and saw through the ins and outs of all sorts of issues better than anyone else, asked Xiao Wan, "Were you fild by soone without your consent?"

Xiao Wan looked at him in surprise, and the director continued with a smile, "This morning during filming, I noticed you subconsciously avoiding the cara—it felt like sothing was wrong."

"Actually... the neighbors in my residential complex, they live stream every day when I'm commuting, and so even go as far as using telescopes to peer into my ho, leaving with no privacy at all..." Xiao Wan said despondently.

"I don't know what to do..."

"Xiao Wan, do you know what many actors do first after becoming famous? Buy a house! They all make a clean break from their past environnts. It's not that human nature is inherently evil, but the human heart is too difficult to fathom. Once people reap benefits without working for a long ti, they forget what gratitude ans!"

Enlightened by the director's words, Xiao Wan made up her mind to buy a new house elsewhere or rent one. She definitely had to choose a neighborhood with good privacy!

Just then, Xiao Wan's phone rang.

She gave the director an apologetic smile and answered the call.

From the other end, her mother's anxious voice ca through.

"Xiao Wan! There's big trouble at ho!"

"What's wrong? Mom, take your ti, don't rush."

"I can't explain it clearly over the phone, you need to co back quickly. Oh, and it might be best to contact your company and have them send a couple of bodyguards..."

Shortly thereafter, a cacophony ensued on the other end, and her mother was forced to hang up the phone.
