To be fair, Qin Yuanyao performed quite well today; she had a chance to win first place.
[Haha, I'm dying of laughter! Qin Yuanyao can get first place? Live-streaming e-commerce is my sister Tong's specialty. Overconfidence is arrogance; be careful she doesn't get slapped in the face later.]
[The same words are offered to you as above.]
With only the first and second place winners remaining, Director Jiang kept everyone in suspense, dragging his feet and teasing them away.
"Both the second and first place winners today were excellent, selling over 10,000 yuan worth of goods. This is a very good income for the villagers of Anfeng Village, and it will help them a lot."
Director Jiang deliberately dragged out the time, taking the opportunity to pique the interest of the guests and the audience.
Apart from Xu Miaotong, the other guests didn't seem very interested.
The viewers in the live stream were indeed very intrigued.
[Aaaaaaah, Director Jiang is so mean! Stop dawdling, first place is definitely my sister Tong's!]
[Sister Tong is number one! Sister Tong is number one! Sister Tong is number one!]
[Tongtong is number one, Tongtong is the best]
"I will announce the second and first place winners together. The second place winner will receive a cash prize of sixty yuan, and the first place winner will receive a cash prize of one hundred yuan, as well as a super lavish dinner."
Director Jiang glanced at Xu Miaotong and Qin Yuanyao, smiled silently, and suddenly announced at a faster pace: "Second place, Xu Miaotong, Gao Li, and Gao Hao, sold a total of [amount] yuan! First place, Qin Yuanyao, Chi Baiyi, and Chi Naozi, sold a total of [amount] yuan! Congratulations to the first-place winners, Qin Yuanyao, Chi Baiyi, and Chi Naozi's internship family!!"
Director Jiang clapped his hands vigorously, and the other guests joined in. Guo Zhuyan and Ge Zhi even cheered a few times.
[Hahahaha, Qin Yuanyao is number one! Are Xu Miaotong's fans' faces all swollen?]
[This is so satisfying! Xu Miaotong's fans, keep shouting and jumping around! You were all so talkative, why are you all silent now?]
[Hahahaha, we were truly shocked, shocked by the shamelessness of Xu Miaotong's fans and the arrogance of Xu Miaotong herself.]
[I've said it before, Qin Yuanyao's performance today was quite good, everyone saw it. Some people's fans insisted on saying their idol was the best, they deserved to be proven wrong.]
[Stop laughing at Xu Miaotong's fans! They're just trying to sacrifice themselves for the sake of entertaining the public, willingly getting slapped in the face to make everyone laugh, that's why they keep shouting that first place is theirs (doge)]
[I originally thought it didn't matter who got first place, but Xu Miaotong's fans kept jumping up and down in the comments to stir up hatred, so now I think Xu Miaotong deserved to be second.]
Xu Miaotong could not hide her astonishment.
How is that possible?! How could she lose to Qin Yuanyao and only get second place?!
She's clearly best at live-streaming e-commerce!
Qin Yuanyao didn't even do a live stream from the orchard!!
Qin Yuanyao clearly spent all of their family's assets just to buy...
Xu Miaotong suddenly realized something, a glint of light flashed in her eyes, and her expression softened.
She clapped her hands and said with feigned modesty, "Yuan Yao is amazing. I am ashamed of myself."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "When I heard that Yuan Yao spent all 136 yuan on ingredients, I thought to myself, even if their group gets first place, they'll only get a cash reward of 100 yuan, which is 36 yuan less than the 136 yuan she spent. Turns out I was too narrow-minded. To get first place, you really have to go all out."
Xu Miaotong's fans, who had been silent in the comments section after being mocked, became active again because of her words.
So what if Qin Yuanyao won first place? She didn't earn as much as she spent. She only knows how to make money at a loss.
[Qin Yuanyao previously acted as if she didn't care about ranking or what place she got. In reality, she was secretly working incredibly hard to get first place, even resorting to unprofitable deals. She's definitely a scheming woman.]
Our Tongtong never does anything that doesn't benefit her; she only lets her abilities speak for themselves. Only that scheming girl is willing to sacrifice everything to get first place. Tongtong certainly can't compare to her in that respect.
Chi Nai's delicate, fair face puffed up in anger again: "Aunt Xu, you..."
Chi Naozi shook her head and sighed, looking annoyed: "If we get second place, are you still going to laugh at us for not even earning back half of what we spent?"
Xu Miaotong blinked, feigning incomprehension: "I didn't laugh at you. I... what did I say that made me laugh at you? I was just lamenting that my perspective isn't as broad as your Sister Qin's."
"Yes, if we only focus on the rewards we get, our vision is indeed narrow." Qin Yuanyao said casually, "Director Jiang just said that the income from selling apples goes to the villagers of Anfeng Village. The production team arranged for us to sell apples on live broadcast. Their original intention was not to compare who has a bigger or smaller vision, but simply to help the villagers of Anfeng Village sell more apples and increase their income."
"Even if the first place winner only gets a fifty-yuan reward or no reward at all, I'm still willing to do my best to sell as many apples as possible."
Director Jiang clapped his hands repeatedly, trying to smooth things over: "That's right! Well said! The overall situation isn't important, and who wins first place isn't important either. The most important thing is to help the villagers sell more apples, increase their income, and let more people know that the apples from our Anfeng Village are very good and excellent!"
[The show's intentions were much higher, but Xu Miaotong only wanted to turn everyone into her control group, into a tool to show off herself. She completely looked down on and didn't care about the villagers.]
Xu Miaotong was still indignant that Qin Yuanyao's first place seemed so worthless, but Qin Yuanyao was more concerned with how to help the villagers.
Xu Miaotong is right; she really has a narrow perspective, to the point of having no perspective at all.
[Your Tongtong really doesn't know how to make a losing deal; she's definitely not as good as Qin Yuanyao at all.]
