Chapter 49: Voting Campaign

Just when Lin Nan wanted to say a few more words to me, Jiang Yichen suddenly spoke.

He looked at all of us present as anchors and announced in a deep voice.

"I'm going on a business trip. I hope all anchors will do their jobs well and not cause trouble."

Hearing his words, all the anchors responded obediently.

At this moment, Jiang Yichen looked at me intentionally or unintentionally, and added another sentence.

"No one is allowed to participate in the Tongcheng Anchor Competition in the name of the company."

As soon as I said this, my body stiffened.

Jiang Yichen was intentionally clicking on me.

It’s a pity that I’ve already registered. No matter what the reason, I will not give up.

Then he left with Lin Nan.

It is a good thing for me that Jiang Yichen is on a business trip, so I can participate in the anchor competition with peace of mind.

Time passed quickly, and on the day of the competition, many anchors from other companies came.

When they saw that I was also participating in the competition, they couldn't help but whisper to each other.

"Is Gu Mo coming out to show her face because she owes a loan shark?"

"I heard that Jiang's company doesn't allow other anchors to participate in the competition. Why is she here suddenly?"

"Maybe it's for money. She's willing to give up everything. I really admire Gu Mo's mentality. It's really strong."

Ignoring the noises around me, I sat next to Xiao Tiantian, waiting for the game to officially begin.

My palms were sweating and I was extremely nervous.

Xiao Tiantian saw that something was wrong with me, and gently placed her hand on the back of my hand, and earnestly reminded me, "After you go up, don't care what others say, just dance boldly. Only when you let go can you dance beautifully."

Hearing this, I felt a little embarrassed and asked awkwardly, "Do I have to do such a big movement?"

Xiao Tiantian's expression became more serious. She didn't answer my question, but questioned it instead.

"Do you want to get the bonus?"

I took a deep breath, nodded heavily, and decided to go for it.

It's nothing more than being in the spotlight. Anyway, my reputation is already so bad, so it doesn't matter if it's one more time or one less time.

“I know what to do and I’m going to do my best to perform.”

After getting my answer, Xiao Tiantian showed a satisfied look, "Don't worry too much, just follow what I taught you, as long as you do your best, you will definitely win the prize."

With her encouragement, my nervousness was relieved a little.

The competition officially started. I was ranked last in the draw, so I watched the performances of other contestants from the audience with Xiao Tiantian.

The theme of the competition only stipulates talent shows, but does not force every anchor to compete with dance.

So much so that the performances of the previous anchors were all very varied.

There are all kinds of instruments, including playing the guzheng and singing, and the pipa.

Their performance was extremely complete, with some musical instruments accompanied by dance, which was a very brilliant display.

Seeing the contestants in front of me getting good results, the pressure in my heart was growing.

The only thing I can boast is that I have a good figure and good looks.

But such advantages are not considered as distinctive features among these anchors.

I was still a little dazed until the host called my name on the stage.

Seeing that I didn’t react, Xiao Tiantian pushed me directly.

I reacted immediately, and thinking about the money my family owed, I still went on stage.

As the music played, the movements that Xiao Tiantian taught me kept going through my mind.

Every movement is open and closed, showing the performance to the fullest.

Soon I was immersed in the dance and gradually could not hear the dirty sounds from the outside world.

The music ended and my performance stopped.

What I didn’t expect was that my dance actually received a good response, with many people in the audience shouting my name and cheering for me.

This is a great encouragement to me.

I nervously took the microphone from the host, looked carefully at the audience, and bowed deeply.

"Compared to other contestants, I'm not the best, but I'm very grateful for everyone's support."

After quietly expressing my thanks, I returned the microphone to the host and quickly left the stage.

However, just as I was stepping down the stage, I saw a familiar figure not far away.

Like Jiang Yichen.

My heart couldn't help but tighten.

How come he is here?

But when I thought about the fact that he was on a business trip during this period, the fear was quickly dispelled.

After returning to Xiao Tiantian's side, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and asked carefully, "How was my performance just now? Did I make any mistakes in the movements?"

Xiao Tiantian did not hide her admiration for me and praised me sincerely.

"Not bad. It seems that you have really worked hard in practice during this period. You are much better than when I first taught you. You can now become a master."

That’s high praise from me.

When the other contestants around me heard Xiao Tiantian praising me like that, their eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.

The on-site voting will only begin after all contestants have finished their competition.

Each audience member can cast at most one vote at a time, and the one with the most votes will be the first place in the competition.

On the big screen on the stage, the portraits and scores of all our contestants were displayed in real time.

I stared at my own ranking nervously, not daring to breathe.

The voting officially ended, and I was shocked to see that my avatar was in the first place.

But more of it is happiness.

But soon, I saw that the votes of the contestant who was originally ranked below me were rising rapidly, and in the end, it was exactly the same as me.

She was the first to perform and we both tied for first place.

Following the host's announcement, two prizes were distributed simultaneously.

The two of us went on stage to receive the award together, but at this moment, discordant voices suddenly appeared.

"Wait, I haven't voted yet."

When I saw Jiang Yichen suddenly appear, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

It was only then that I realized that the figure I had just seen was not an illusion.

I couldn't help but get nervous and didn't dare to look Jiang Yichen in the eye. After all, I came to participate in the competition secretly without telling him.

At this moment, Liang Xiaorou, as the organizer, walked onto the stage with an attitude of enjoying the show.

Seeing my appearance, she couldn't help but sneer, her eyes full of contempt for me.

Liang Xiaorou directly grabbed the microphone from the host, looked me up and down, and suddenly spoke.

"Since President Jiang hasn't voted yet, we two contestants will canvass for votes and eventually choose the winner."

As soon as Liang Xiaorou said this, the audience immediately started to boo.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and canvass for votes for another round!"

"I don't know who President Jiang will choose. I'll bet on Gu Mo."

"It seems that the choice is in the hands of President Jiang. This game is getting more and more exciting."

I knew clearly that these people were making a fuss because of my relationship with Jiang Yichen, but for the sake of the bonus I had no choice but to accept it.

After Jiang Yichen learned of Liang Xiaorou's decision, he raised his eyebrows and looked at me and another contestant, as if with some expectation.
