Counterattacking as the Sweet Novel's Female Lead in a Dating Show

Xu Qinghu opened her eyes to find herself sitting in a beautiful restaurant. After a brief dizziness, she realized the world she was living in was a novel. And she was the unlikable "catfish...

Chapter 83 Chapter 83 Of course he will win, starting from when he chooses her...

After loading all the watermelons on the ground into the van, Du Yanting looked at Xu Qinghu behind him. She was still picking in the garden and seemed to want to take a few away.

"That's enough, that's enough," even someone as calm as Du Yanting couldn't help but say, "That's enough to sell."

Xu Qinghu glanced at him and simply said, "Come and help me move it."

Du Yanting walked over to her and looked at the half box she had picked. He couldn't help but say, "There's no more room in the car."

Xu Qinghu: "If you can't let it go, then find another place."

Du Yanting looked at her fair and beautiful face and didn't refute her. He just smiled and said, "Do you want to win so badly?"

Even while directing and acting in the film himself, he did not forget to lead the audience to suspect that she was eager for quick success and greed.

Xu Qinghu looked up at him and asked, "Is it not possible to win?"

Du Yanting raised an eyebrow and said pointedly, "You shouldn't pick so many. If you can't sell them all in the city, won't it be a waste of time and energy?"

It seemed that he was certain that Xu Qinghu was greedy and did not want her to cause him any more trouble.

"So that's what you think," Xu Qinghu frowned, then suddenly realized, "That's normal. After all, no matter what game you play, you always lose."

She glanced at Du Yanting lightly, raised her hand to pick up the watermelon basket on the ground, and said slowly: "If you don't want to win, it's your business, but I want to win. If you find it troublesome, you can stay in the orchard and rest."

After saying that, she ignored Du Yanting and walked out.

Although she looks very delicate, she is very strong. She carries dozens of kilograms of watermelon in front of the van and tilts her head to think about how to put it.

It wasn't long before some space was made available in the van.

Du Yanting stood there for a moment, as if he didn't expect her to be so disrespectful to him in front of the camera. His eyes became a little interested, and he strode up behind her. "I didn't say I wouldn't go, I just think it's too hard for you."

Seeing that he had changed his words, Xu Qinghu followed suit and said, "No one's work is easy. Since we have participated in the competition, we must give it our all."

The hot summer sun shone through the tall fruit trees on both sides of the road and fell on her face, making her look a little different from usual, as if she was more dazzling.

Du Yanting lowered his eyes and looked at her. "You worked so hard, what if we lost in the end? Would you be disappointed?"

He began to give Xu Qinghu a shot of prevention, "It's common to work hard but get nothing in return. If you have too high hopes, the results will be disappointing."

It was obviously inappropriate to say such discouraging words at such a time, but his passive attitude in the game began to affect Xu Qinghu's fighting spirit, which not only made Xu Qinghu frown, but even the audience in the live broadcast room called him a talent.

[Is Du Yanting going to hinder Hulu?]

[I feel like he's so negative. No matter what competition he participates in, he always seems distracted. It's really unfair to the female contestants.]

[I wanted to say this as well. It feels like he's just going through the motions when participating in dating shows. If he doesn't like to fight for himself, why is he on a dating show? Can't he just leave the opportunity for others?]

[Although, perhaps he's just being too arrogant? It's also possible that he can't let go of his pride.]

[What? Just because he's a rich kid means he gets special privileges? He previously implicated other female guests, but they were magnanimous enough to let him off the hook. Now he's trying to influence Xu Qinghu's mentality. Who does he think he is?]

Xu Qinghu wanted to win, but unfortunately, Du Yanting was holding her back. The perfume endorsement deal is probably out of her reach.

"It seems that Mr. Du is a very pessimistic person in life," Xu Qinghu looked into his eyes. "He can even accurately predict the outcome of things he hasn't done yet."

Her tone was flat, and she was just short of calling Du Yanting a "know-it-all" person, with undisguised contempt in her words.

Du Yanting narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Qinghu's beautiful features. His originally careless expression instantly became much deeper. "I'm just afraid that you'll be disappointed."

"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed," Xu Qinghu said without further ado. He raised his hand and opened the driver's door. "After all, I never set a bad ending for myself."

"Rather than working in vain, I believe that man can conquer nature."

She didn't even curse him, but the contempt in her tone was like a torrential rain, which made Du Yanting silent immediately.

[Damn, the gourd is really too strong.]

[When I heard Du Yanting say those words, I really wanted to slap him, but Xu Qinghu directly retorted. This is the right thing to do.]

If I were Xu Qinghu, I might have given up hope for the upcoming match the moment Du Yanting started talking.

[I don't know what Du Yanting is trying to do, but this kind of partner is really disgusting. After Qi Song, I have successfully come to dislike him again.]

[If we lose this competition, it will definitely be Du Yanting's fault!]

Xu Qinghu started the engine, lowered his eyes to glance at Du Yanting, and asked, "Are you going or not?"

Du Yanting opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. "I thought you would let me drive."

Xu Qinghu chuckled: "It's not a bother for you."

After saying that, she drove the car straight to the gate, took some juice from the staff, and placed it in the reserved space.

Then he asked the other party for some disposable paper cups before driving the car into the city.

It was the weekend, and the commercial street in the city was bustling with people. There were countless street vendors selling fruits, vegetables and various small items. Xu Qinghu walked around and found an empty spot to stop.

After peeling off the plastic film covering the watermelons, the bright green watermelons with fresh stems appeared on the street. Before Du Yanting could react, Xu Qinghu shouted, "These are seedless watermelons freshly picked from a large-scale production base. Everyone, come and take a look. Three yuan per pound, and with ten pounds, you get a free branded freshly squeezed juice. You can taste and sample them for free! You can taste and sample them for free!"

Before he finished speaking, someone looked over.

Xu Qinghuo quickly cut a watermelon into several small pieces with his knife, and then filled a paper cup with some juice. The natural aroma of the watermelon spread instantly.

"This watermelon looks really fresh." Seeing Xu Qinghu wearing a mask and gloves, looking very hygienic and clean, someone immediately became interested in the watermelon and said, "Let me try it first."

Xu Qinghu immediately let the other party choose a piece and began to introduce the watermelon's production area, the variety and the usual price. "A watermelon weighs about ten kilograms and can feed the whole family. It also comes with 20 yuan worth of watermelon juice. It's a well-known brand with a clean ingredient list. You can also try it first."

She introduced herself enthusiastically, without any of the airs of a female guest on a dating variety show, as if she had really become a salesperson.

The most motivating thing when buying things is enthusiasm. Only when you sincerely believe that something is good, the people who buy it will also be sincerely infected.

The visitor ate the watermelon and drank the watermelon juice. He immediately picked out two heavy watermelons and said with a smile, "There are many people in my family. Two is enough for us."

Xu Qinghu smiled and said, "If there are a lot of people, you can check out our other packages. If you buy four, you can get an extra small yellow soil watermelon to try the base's new varieties."

The man was stunned for a moment, "There are also melons grown in yellow soil?"

"Of course," Xu Qinghu said, "I just picked it. Can I open it and let you taste it?"

The man nodded immediately after hearing this, and then bought four watermelons under Xu Qinghu's sales promotion. Not only was he not annoyed by the sales promotion, but he was also very happy.

"Aren't you afraid he'll be disgusted?" After helping deliver the watermelons, Du Yanting looked at Xu Qinghu's pretty face and asked with a smile, "What if he doesn't like the sales pitch and just walks away?"

Xu Qinghu glanced at him. "Do you think selling something is a forced sale? He may be dressed casually, but the watch he wears is not cheap, and he speaks in a gentle manner, which shows that he is not short of money. He has a gentle personality, and he really wants to buy watermelon. If that's the case, why can't I sell it to him?"

Du Yanting was stunned for a moment.

Later, many people came to the stall, including lively college students, elderly men and women who liked to bargain, and office workers from nearby, but Xu Qinghu still managed to handle them with ease.

The college student said she couldn't buy so many watermelons, so Xu Qinghu asked her to taste the juice first. If she wanted a gift, she could buy a whole watermelon and share it with her roommate. If she didn't like it, she could just buy a portion.

As for the difficult old men and women, Xu Qinghu was even more excited than them. He said that his purchase price at the base was high and he earned his money through hard work. There would be no melons cheaper than hers in the entire market. It would be healthy to buy them back for his family and children to eat. Besides, other people didn't give him juice.

Du Yanting was amazed as he watched from the side.

He thought Xu Qinghu might be pretentious when selling melons, but he didn't expect that she was no different from a real melon vendor.

Of course, even melon vendors may not be as good at selling as she is.

Even the audience in the live broadcast room were dumbfounded.

If there hadn't been a cameraman following me in the corner, I would have thought Xu Qinghu was really just selling melons.

[I feel like she's really good at manipulating people's nature. No matter who comes, she'll have to buy two melons.]

[I really want to go buy some watermelon! Eating chilled watermelon in the summer is the most comfortable thing.]

[I think this brand of watermelon juice is also very good. Almost everyone who has tried it has been impressed. I'm going to search online to see if they sell it.]

[This is the juice I usually drink at home, but it never really took off, but now it's finally breaking out.]

At this time, the program team started advertising, saying that if you want to buy watermelon juice, you can go to the brand’s live broadcast room.

In just two hours, the sales of this brand of juice reached new highs, especially the watermelon juice, which was sold out in one go.

At this time, Xu Qinghu was still selling melons. As time passed, more and more customers came to the van. She was almost too busy to handle it, and even Du Yanting had no time to breathe.

Only then did I realize what Xu Qinghu meant when he said he wasn't worried about not being able to sell it.

She's not a guest on a dating show, she's just a street vendor.

Even if he wanted to give up, he had to move around in the crowds that kept coming and try not to be left out, otherwise the audience would not just scold him.

By the time they finished, it was already late and there was only a small half of the watermelon left in the trunk.

Du Yanting bent down and took a breath, looking at Xu Qinghu who was still full of energy. It was hard to imagine that she was still so energetic under such circumstances.

"You..." He wiped the sweat from his forehead and neck with a tissue, "Aren't you tired?"

Xu Qinghu counted how many watermelons were left and looked at his face. "I'm not Superman."

"Then why are you..."

"Is being tired useful?" Xu Qinghu said, "If acting tired can get me an endorsement, then I'm really tired now, but if not, then my idea is to sell all the remaining melons."

Du Yanting: “…”

He looked at Xu Qinghu's rosy face. She was obviously very tired, but her eyes were sparkling.

It seemed like nothing could defeat her.

Du Yanting's eyelashes drooped. "This place is no longer popular. If I want to continue selling here, maybe..."

"Who said we have to stay here?" Xu Qinghu glanced at the time. "There are still more than two hours before the game ends. Let's go to the Xingguang Night Market."

Watching her pack up the van and jump into the driver's seat swiftly, Du Yanting had no choice but to follow.

After the two arrived at the night market, Xu Qinghu started hawking her wares again. There were many people at the night market, and there were people selling watermelons and various fruits everywhere, but Xu Qinghu stood out from the others, not only because of her nice voice, but also because the words she spoke seemed to have magic, attracting many people to come over.

Du Yanting thought that with a full truck of watermelons, they could sell about half of them. Unexpectedly, not only were there not enough watermelons to sell in the end, but some people even asked Xu Qinghu when he would come to set up the stall again so that they could buy more.

Xu Qinghu then began to advertise, "This watermelon comes from the origin of Huiming Juice. They don't usually sell fruit, but their juice is freshly squeezed from the same raw materials. The quality is trustworthy."

After that, he shared the remaining juice with customers at the night market and said, "If you like it, you can buy it at a nearby mall or online. It's a very convenient way to buy it."

When they heard that the juice was freshly squeezed from high-quality fruits, everyone became very interested in it and said they wanted to repurchase it.

Seeing that it was not yet eight o'clock, Xu Qinghu first returned the car to the driver, and then took Du Yanting to find a place to eat at the night market.

"You," he said, looking at Xu Qinghu finding a barbecue restaurant with ease, he was a little stunned, "renting a car costs money, and it will be deducted from our sales, and you brought me here to eat?"

Xu Qinghu glanced at him and asked, "Are you worried about sales now?"

Du Yanting had been busy all day and was not as calm as before. "Let's go back to the cabin to eat."

"It doesn't cost sales," Xu Qinghu looked at him amusedly, "You've worked so hard with me for so long, I'll treat you to a meal."

After saying that, she pushed the menu to his hand and said, "Order whatever you want."

Du Yanting: “…”

He took a deep breath and looked at the equally exhausted Xu Qinghu opposite him, his mood becoming a little complicated: "You have impressed me today."

He said this according to his plan, laying the foundation for his change of direction. He thought that when he said it, his face would be filled with interest and amusement.

But after working hard with Xu Qinghu for a whole day and selling all the watermelons, he couldn't make a nonchalant expression.

When he looked at Xu Qinghu, he no longer had the contempt he had before.

Today's sales were almost achieved independently by Xu Qinghu. His role was only to pack and deliver the goods. Even without him, Xu Qinghu could do it himself. It might take more time, but it would not affect the final result.

"Really?" Xu Qinghu tilted his head and looked at him, smiling and saying, "It would be a great honor for me if I could change your original idea."

"Of course," Du Yanting also smiled slightly, "I take back what I said before and apologize to you. You are right."

"No need to apologize," Xu Qinghu looked deeply into his eyes. "I just hope you'll have a more positive attitude in the future. No matter who you work with, you must fight for yourself."

She made a fist gesture, as if to cheer Du Yanting on.

Looking at her bright eyes, Du Yanting lowered his gaze and asked the question in his heart, "Why did you choose to sell watermelons? I thought you would choose cherries and strawberries."

"Because watermelon is a truly seasonal fruit," Xu Qinghu wiped his hands with a wet wipe and said with a smile: "It's easy to pick and the price is right, so it sells better than other fruits."

"The most important thing is, can I buy half a pound of cherries? Can I buy half a pound of watermelon?" She looked at Du Yanting and said, "Usually, when people buy watermelon, they buy half a pound or a whole one. Plus, if they're being promoted, some people will buy more. As for blueberries and cherries, maybe they just want to try some. Most customers who buy these fruits have their own established fruit shops or supermarkets. They trust the shops they frequent more than buying in bulk on the street."

"My job is to promote juice by selling fruit. Watermelon is just a side job. How much other fruit do I need to sell and how long do I need to sell to give away so much juice?"

Listening to her clear words, Du Yanting's eyes did not leave her face for a long time. He lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Qinghu, as if only at this moment did he finally see her appearance clearly.

Her beauty is not like a vase that cannot withstand the wind and rain, but like a rose that grows wildly in the wilderness.

She knows what she wants and has never really lost herself in the romance variety show.

The plans he and the program crew had made in the past had never escaped her eyes, and it was impossible for her to fall into the quagmire.

This discovery made Du Yanting silent. After a long while, he said, "So you thought so much."

His voice was slightly hoarse: "Have you ever worked in sales before?"

"I guess so," Xu Qinghu said, "When I was little, my family wasn't well off. Even paying tuition was a struggle. My grandmother and I would take the vegetables we grew to town to sell. After I started middle school, I went to the mall to hand out flyers and worked part-time as a salesperson. I sold a lot of things, including discounted tissues, laundry detergent, cosmetics, and even Mid-Autumn Festival mooncake gift boxes..."

With each word she said, Du Yanting became more and more silent.

After she finished speaking, she whispered, "So that's how it is."

He looked at Xu Qinghu again, "Do you think we will win?"

"What do you think?" Xu Qinghu asked him back.

It was almost eight o'clock in the evening, and the results of other groups were almost out. As an investor, Du Yanting knew the answer before her.

Whether to win or lose is actually very obvious.

It all depends on whether anyone cheats and whether the production team will stand by her.

Du Yanting looked into her overly bright eyes, which seemed to be burning with an inextinguishable flame. After a moment, he smiled and said, "Of course you will win."

From the moment he chose to be her partner, she had already started winning.
