The results of the competition came out quickly.
However, this is only the semi-final; there is still a final match to be played.
Jiu Ye Bai made it to the finals without any surprise.
The day of the final also happened to be the opening ceremony of the fashion show.
At this point, Jiu Yebai stopped asking the cat for help. He said, "You don't need to come with me. Just go do what you're supposed to do. It's just a finger. I'm going to give it to you no matter what. Just wait to receive your gift."
The cat stroked his soft fur.
Today, Joseph again volunteered to be the cat's driver, and very thoughtfully arranged another driver for Jiu Yebai.
The cat had its hairstyle done, and Shan Xingwen and Lanfeng accompanied it.
Joseph kept looking at the cat in the rearview mirror, praising her incessantly, "Oh, my eyes don't listen to me at all, they only want to look at you! You look so beautiful today, cat."
The cat said, "If you keep doing this, I'll have to consider changing drivers. This is dangerous driving."
Joseph toned it down a bit. "The consequences are serious! Okay, I'll focus!"
Once at the fashion show, Cat performed consistently well. Even though the streets were filled with dazzling celebrities vying for attention, it didn't affect her at all.
Moreover, since the person who took her street photos was Nan Jue, there was even less to worry about.
Sitting in the show, the cat had no interest in watching; she kept checking the time.
Dan Xingwen seemed to have noticed something. He moved slightly closer to the cat and said, "There will be an interactive session later. You can leave now, but try to come back when the event ends. There are some good brand managers and designers there. I can introduce you to them."
The cat nodded.
After a while, as expected, it was time for the interactive segment, and the cat left.
When the show ended, the cat rushed back, in a hurry.
Shan Xingwen is a dazzling figure in this circle. Anyone he introduces will give him face. Maomao has met many people who have never even heard of her. Regardless of whether they look down on her or not, with Shan Xingwen around, they all act very enthusiastically.
But an old man in the jewelry industry was very interested and handed the cat his business card, saying, "To work in the jewelry business, you must have the spirit of a talent scout, hahaha."
Later, Shan Xingwen said, "His jewelry company is a family business, and a very small branch of the family business. It is not short of money, and its spokespeople are never limited to fame."
The cat carefully put the business card away.
Meanwhile, photos of the fashion show in Country Y also spread on the Chinese internet, sparking another wave of buzz.
A set of street photos of cats went viral online.
She wore her hair in a high ponytail, completely exposing her facial features. This style is very demanding on face shape, but no matter the angle of the street photos, the cat withstood the test!
A brown vest, a casual T-shirt, tight skinny jeans, a pair of high heels, a brightly colored triangular scarf around the neck, and a lollipop in the mouth.
The photos show her with flawless beauty; the way her eyes smiled at you back then still made you feel like you were in love.
However, as she turned around, her ponytail swaying in the air, her dashing figure, and the gray industrial-style buildings in front of her made her seem like an assassin who had swept away with a flick of her sleeve, her sharp aura almost overflowing from the screen.
There are also photos from fashion shows, even when she's taking group photos with others, no matter where she stands, she's always the one people recognize at a glance.
[I...I suddenly realize how good-looking Jiu Mao Mao is??]
I vaguely remember her devilish look on the runway last year, but now... is this goddess also her? Someone tell me, is my memory messed up...?
[Upstairs! You didn't misremember! Ahh... so I'm not alone! What happened to my promise to hate them forever?! This face... I'm speechless... *sobs*... *crying* first!]
Wow, she's a photo killer! I've seen so many unedited photos of her, and she still looks amazing...
There's a time difference here compared to China, and Maomao wasn't following the news online, so she didn't know that her Weibo followers had suddenly surged by two million.
She picked up Jiu Yebai and took him back to the hotel without asking how the competition went.
Jiu Yebai's reaction was also calm. He still said to the cat, "It's much easier than I thought."
His tone was surprisingly...disappointed?
The cat glanced at him and asked, "You've already secured the championship?"
Jiu Yebai nodded. He had prepared meticulously for this competition for a long time! He had been practicing problems and reading books day and night, but in the end... it wasn't that difficult!
The reason he found it difficult was probably because of the omnipresent pressure from his older brother!
However, as it turns out, the elder brother's intimidation was built up from countless competitions like this. If he were to take it seriously and conquer them one by one, then it wouldn't be long before he could step on the elder brother's head!
Thinking about it, Jiu Yebai became slightly excited.
However, he had something even more exciting to say. He suddenly exclaimed with great enthusiasm, "Jiu Maomao, call me brother!"
The cat slapped him on the head. "Are you asking for a beating?"
Jiu Yebai straightened his hair and said, "No backing out, right? We agreed from the beginning that if I win the championship, I'll be your brother!"
The cat snorted, "The results of the competition haven't come out yet."
Jiu Yebai smiled smugly, "I'll definitely be the champion. You becoming my sister is just a matter of time... You don't need to worry about it anymore. You still have a bet with that bitch from Country D. You're hoping I'll win the championship too, aren't you?"
The cat said, "Let's wait two days and talk about it then."
Jiu Yebai crossed his legs like an old man and said, "Alright, then wait two days. As the older brother, I can't be too stingy."
...
The next day, Maomao went to the fashion show as usual, and Jiuyebai accompanied her.
The Jiu family has strong genes, and Jiu Yebai's image is more durable than many carefully packaged celebrities. When he walks on the street, he attracts a lot of street photography cameras.
He simply followed the cat around without looking to the side, carrying bags and fetching water as if it were second nature, taking over Chen Doudou's job.
The third day was the day the results of the PUMaC competition finals were announced.
Cat, Jiu Yebai, Chen Doudou, Lanfeng, and Joseph went to St. John's University together.
Inside the small auditorium, they ran into students from country D. The girl who had made the bet with the cat raised her chin and said, "Just you wait and see, you'll be licking my heels!"
The cat still gave her the middle finger.
The professor announced the competition results, starting with the third-place winner, a student from country S. The student excitedly ran up and received the certificate.
Then came the runner-up.
"Jiuyebai!"
The professor called Jiu Yebai's name, but Jiu Yebai suddenly froze and then asked questioningly, "Professor, are you sure you didn't mispronounce it?"
The professor thought he was too excited and said with a smile, "I didn't misread it. Congratulations, you're the third place winner!"
Jiu Yebai was very confident that he would definitely win the championship, but how could he only get third place!
He went up to receive the certificate, but hesitated when he came down. He didn't dare to look at the cat and even deeply doubted himself. How could he have messed up such an important thing?
