After a hearty meal, the elders indulged in casual chatter and boasts.
Lewis sat on the side, feeling quite bored. At that moment, his phone rang.
"Hello, Mr. Lewis. We've arrived at Wood Village. Do you have time now?" asked Robert.
"Yes, you can come over."
After hanging up, Lewis stood up and said, "Dad, you keep chatting. I'll go meet a guest."
"Do we have guests today?"
"You should've said something earlier. We could've invited them to join us for dinner."
"They came to discuss some matters with me," said Lewis as he walked outside.
Just as he stepped out, he saw a black sedan approaching and stopping at the gate of the courtyard.
The car came to a halt, and two middle-aged men in short-sleeved shirts stepped out.
They approached, and Lewis greeted them too.
"Mr. Lewis, hello."
"You're even more handsome in person than on TV."
Robert introduced, "This is Scott, our county mayor. I'm Robert."
"Mayor Scott, Director Robert."
Lewis led them inside. Seeing people in the courtyard, they quickly said, "If there are many people, we don't want to disturb. We can just take a walk around. Is that okay?"
Their attitudes were very friendly, speaking as peers without any airs.
"Lewis, bring the guests in for some tea," Mom called from behind.
Lewis chuckled, "Let's go inside then."
"Sure, whatever suits you," they replied with smiles.
Entering the courtyard, Dad and the others looked puzzled.
The guests of their son weren't young.
But they didn't ask too many questions.
Lewis pondered for a moment before introducing, "This is Mayor Scott and Director Robert from the Investment Promotion Bureau. This is my mom…"
He introduced everyone one by one, and they shook hands with each guest.
Dad and the others were a bit confused.
A county mayor?
After shaking hands and sitting down with Lewis on the side, they finally realized what was happening.
They didn't disturb and Mom brought over two pots of tea.
They lowered their voices, mainly wanting to listen to what Lewis and the county mayor were discussing.
"Mr. Lewis, here's an endorsement contract. Please take a look. If you find anything unsuitable, let me know, and I'll make changes on the spot," said Scott.
"Let me see."
The other party was well-prepared, aiming to sign Lewis today.
Lewis picked it up and examined it carefully. There were mainly a few key points to note in such endorsement contracts.
One was compensation, another was breach of contract, and the third was the duration.
The compensation was close to his expectations, not high, just one million USD a year.
Compared to his current popularity, it was very low.
The breach of contract clause was quite lenient, with no penalty fee. He knew this was a show of sincerity.
The duration was one year renewable, which pleased Lewis the most.
If they asked for a three-to-five-year contract right away, it would feel like exploiting his popularity.
Lewis could accept one million USD for the first year, especially since it was for his hometown.
Moreover, he was happy to contribute to his hometown's development.
With this identity, his grandparents would also receive some attention if they encountered any problems in the future.
But if the price remained the same for the second year, that would be excessive.
Lewis said, "I have no issues with the contract."
The two visibly relaxed.
Scott said, "Mr. Lewis, thank you so much."
Robert added, "Actually, the endorsement fee is quite low compared to your current popularity. We're really grateful that you agreed to be our county's ambassador. If you have any issues in the future, feel free to contact me. I'll definitely help you within my capacity."
"Thank you."
Lewis smiled and picked up a pen to sign his name.
Next, he took a photo of his bank card and sent it to them. Once they completed the process, the endorsement fee would be transferred to his account in one lump sum.
After signing the contract, they didn't leave immediately; it would have been too impolite.
Both sides chatted for nearly an hour before bidding farewell and leaving.
Lewis watched them go before turning back into the courtyard.
Upon returning, Uncle couldn't resist asking, "Lewis, what did the county mayor want with you?"
Dad asked, "What did you just talk about regarding that endorsement?"
Lewis briefly recounted the matter. After hearing it, everyone was astonished.
"An ambassador!"
"And they're paying you?"
"Does this mean our county will use you for promotional purposes?"
"Yes," Lewis smiled. "Now I'm somewhat of a celebrity too."
Meanwhile.
On the internet, Lewis' popularity remained unchanged. Many netizens were guessing which legacy he would choose next.
"I'm so curious. Which one will Lewis choose next?"
"I bet it's becoming a millionaire!"
"Impossible. That requires intelligence. The two legacies Lewis has completed so far are physical tasks."
"Is skydiving a physical task? Are you dreaming?"
"Let me put it this way. People who are talented in sports usually have good brains too."
"Wild guess: crossing the Pacific Ocean!"
"You want my Lewis to ascend to heaven in a spiral, don't you?"
In the evening, several photos suddenly surfaced online.
In these photos, a group of professionals were conversing under the safety net at the skydiving base.
"It's the people Sky Group hired!"
"They must be verifying Lewis' skydiving."
"Sky Group is efficient."
"Efficient my foot. It's such a straightforward matter. Why do they need a live verification? Watching the video should suffice."
"Waaah, why do I feel excited even though it's someone else receiving the reward?"
The emergence of these photos made countless netizens eager to see what reward Lewis would receive.
Moreover, Lewis' first reward was a luxury mansion worth several hundred million USD and a cash reward of one million USD.
This had generated immense anticipation for his second reward.
They were eager to know if this reward would surpass the value of Tomson Riviera.
It was already late at night.
Lewis lay in bed, looking at his seven million reputation points and then at the nine million five hundred thousand reputation points needed for the encyclopedia. He resisted the urge to participate in the lottery.
