Chapter 626: Chapter 626: My Needlework is Only for My Brother
She didn’t want to give up just yet, still hoping to persevere a bit longer.
Such a large sum of money, to simply give up on it was truly hard to accept.
Unfortunately, after An Nuonuo made those remarks, she had already secured an unbeatable position, no matter how much the other persisted, it was useless.
In the end, all she could do was leave with a strong sense of unwillingness.
Next up was the display of life skills.
The top ten ‘beauties’ took the stage once again.
Not to mention anything else, just their collective presence on stage was a beautiful picture.
Liu Yan: “Okay, now our top ten school beauties are standing on the stage.
In front of them are yarn balls and long needles.
The first life skill demonstration is to make an article of clothing, such as a sweater or pants; scarves and the like are also acceptable.
The time limit is half an hour, with the top three in terms of completion declared as the winners, let’s start now!”
As soon as her words fell, An Nuonuo and Chu Youwei both got to work.
Knitting for the two of them was as common as cooking a meal.
As for the other eight, they were completely dumbfounded on the spot.
In this day and age, who still does these things?
Bai Xiaoya simply picked up the microphone and threw in the towel: “Apart from eating, sleeping, binge-watching shows, and roasting netizens, I don’t know how to do anything, I’m useless.”
The audience below burst into laughter.
“In this aspect, I’m the same as School Beauty Bai.”
“I’m also useless, I have something in common with School Beauty Bai; round it up, and that means I’m a school beauty too…”
“What’s wrong with being useless?”
“The world already has so many outstanding people, what difference does one less make?”
“Stop, I’m already feeling deep empathy.”
…
Seeing Bai Xiaoya’s frankness, and the audience’s mild reaction, the other school beauties started to throw in the towel as well.
Then, everyone’s attention fell entirely on An Nuonuo and Chu Youwei, and they couldn’t help revealing expressions of amazement.
They saw both moving swiftly and smoothly, showing extreme proficiency, the sort that obviously came from frequent practice of this kind of needlework.
Bai Xiaoya let out a sigh: “Could you two not be so excellent, and leave some space for the ordinary people? Otherwise, it makes us look really useless.”
The others were nodding repeatedly, feeling the same way.
Precisely.
Good-looking, great figures, and with all sorts of talents – having wealthy families would be enough, yet they are also so good at this kind of handicraft.
Exactly which door did God close on you?
Not only were the on-site audience marveling, but online, a wave of discussions erupted.
“Worthy of being the goddess I fancy, truly amazing.”
“Forget modern times, even if they were in ancient times, they would be very capable.”
“Jiang Xu, you should die, for not only having an attractive and capable fiancée like An, but also Chu Youwei, your fiancée’s older cousin!”
“I’m warning you, Jiang Xu, having An Nuonuo is enough, don’t you dare hit on Chu Youwei, otherwise I’ll be upset with you.”
“Upstairs, even if he does make a move on Chu Youwei, what can you do about it?”
“What can I do? Let me tell you, if he really does that, I could kneel down and beg him!”
…
Half an hour quickly passed amidst the chatter of the crowd.
Due to the limited time, they clearly couldn’t knit anything too large, so both knitted small scarves.
Liu Yan: “Wow, both our champion and runner-up have finished, and they both look really nice, very sturdy.
“May I ask if these two scarves could be given to the audience members down below?”
No sooner had these words been spoken than the audience, especially the male members, immediately erupted into excitement, each jumping up and waving their hands.
“Give it to me, give it to me, don’t make me beg you.”
“I can’t imagine how happy I’d be if I received that scarf.”
“Coward, you dare not even think about it, but I dare to dream!”
“I pray to God, if I get that scarf, I’ll treat it like a treasure, offering incense thrice a day.”
…
Youwei: “Alright then, let’s give it to… the little girl in the first row wearing red.”
Giving it to a child was the best choice, it wouldn’t cause any disputes.
The little girl, led by her parents, came up on stage to receive the scarf knitted by Chu Youwei.
Then she looked longingly at the one in An Nuonuo’s hands.
She was just short of saying outright: Why not just give me that one too, to save someone else the trouble?
An Nuonuo gave an embarrassed smile.
She picked up the microphone and said, “I’m really sorry, but my knitting is only for my family members.
I’m giving this scarf to Brother Xu, I can’t give it to everyone else, I’m truly sorry.”
As soon as she said this, whether it was the audience on site, or those in front of computers, or even in front of televisions, every male watching felt a pang of jealousy.
“Yo, yo, yo, only Brother Xu can have it, look who’s being sour without admitting it.”
“Hehe, it’s just a scarf, I don’t give a damn [Cry x3]”
“Who likes scarves in the dead of summer? Even if you gave it to me, I wouldn’t want it.”
“Jealous, they are so jealous!”
“It’s just a scarf, I’m going to order a hundred of them online right now. I’ll wear a different one every day, die of envy!”
…
Jiang Xu watched the somewhat dazed girl on the stage with a smile.
No matter when, she always thought of her boyfriend first.
This was something that 99.99% of girls in the country could not do.
The subsequent life skills demonstrations included: how to fold clothes quickly, how to cook the most delicious food with the simplest ingredients, etc…
Essentially, only An Nuonuo and Chu Youwei were able to complete these tasks and win the prize money.
After all the demonstrations, An Nuonuo and Chu Youwei each obtained an additional prize money of fifty million.
Their combined prize money surpassed three hundred million.
An Nuonuo felt very happy; she had earned a good amount of money for Jiang Xu again.
This was the reason and motivation for her hard work.
“Next…” Liu Yan said loudly, “is the most exciting signing segment of our event, please welcome the heads of the various organizing parties on stage…”
Several middle-aged men walked up, followed by a group of hostesses.
The hostesses each carried a tray, covered with a red cloth.
Apart from An Nuonuo, Chu Youwei, and Bai Xiaoya, everyone else was extremely excited.
After all this hard work, wasn’t this moment what it was all for?
To sign contracts, to debut, to capture the attention of the masses, to reach the pinnacle of life, to make big money!
The hostesses approached the top ten School beauties with a tray each.
And the organizers also showcased each person’s contract.
This was rather unexpected, but it also earned the goodwill of the netizens.
Besides the top three, the remaining seven signed contracts on the spot.
