Chapter 459 Kindness, Shining
Chen Ci clapped her hands excitedly: "Mom, it's you!"
Su Zheyuan cheered from the side: "Auntie, go quickly, come on, if you win the 'Lyric Plum', we'll donate 50 yuan in your name!"
Shen Jingjing came back to her senses, stood up under the gaze of everyone, and walked towards the stage without any hesitation.
Su Zheyuan's words just now reminded her that, yes, she was here to participate in a charity event, and if she won, she could donate money, which was a good deed.
Below the stage, Jiang Yuanliang applauded while his eyes were fixed on Shen Jingjing's figure walking towards the stage.
The crescent-white cheongsam set her off particularly well. The spotlight shone on her body, making the silver threads in the cheongsam sparkle, as if her whole body was glowing.
Jiang Yuanliang was concentrating when he heard the host say, "Number 6, Ms. Ni Man from Jiangdong Group."
Because Ni Man attended as Jiang Yuanliang's female companion, she also represented Jiangdong Group.
Ni Man smiled shyly and stood up, but the applause from the audience was the loudest, simply because she was Jiang Yuanliang's female companion today, and many people knew that the two met through a blind date, and maybe she really would be Mrs. Jiang in the future.
"come on."
Jiang Yuanliang stood up and gently hugged Ni Man. Ni Man was excited and a little nervous. Although she came from a wealthy family, she had never participated in such an event.
After a slight nod, he walked onto the stage.
The audiences in the audience also stood up one after another, wanting to see more clearly. There were five ladies on the stage, four of them were wearing evening gowns and intricate jewelry.
Only Shen Jingjing was wearing a cheongsam, and without any jewelry to interfere with her appearance, she was dressed lightly.
The few people on the stage were being watched by so many people below, and they were all more or less nervous, and their minds were racing.
Mrs. Li is an elegant and dignified lady in her daily life. Although she has a strong and irritable personality, she has always been noble in her bones and attaches great importance to her reputation.
Ni Man's thoughts were even more complex. Jiang Yuanliang was watching her from below, so she couldn't lose her image. After all, in Jiang Yuanliang's eyes, she was a woman with very cultured manners.
The other two contestants thought the same thing. It was fine to just pretend. Everyone must have obstacles in their hearts anyway. Who could really completely disregard their image?
Only Shen Jingjing kept her eyes fixed on the three pieces of watermelon in front of her. She was already thinking about which piece to eat first, and analyzing which side of the watermelon would be faster to eat from based on its appearance and structure.
There was no worry about his own image in his eyes, only the desire to win the game.
Fifty dollars can do a lot of things if used to help those in need.
The waiter also thoughtfully gave each person a large napkin, and several people fixed it on their collars to prevent watermelon juice from splashing on their clothes.
Seeing that everything was ready, the host stood up with an excited look on his face. The live band beat out the drums nervously, and then he said, "3, 2, 1, start!"
As soon as the voice fell, the five people on the stage moved at the same time. The movements of the five people stretching out their hands were very quick, and it seemed as if they were determined to win.
But their actions after picking up the watermelon were different.
Mrs. Li opened her mouth very wide and could bite off a large piece of food in one bite, but she ate slowly.
Ni Man seemed to be eating fast, but she was only eating faster than usual. She looked like she was trying very hard, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she had a concern, and that was Jiang Yuanliang's gaze.
The other two were the same. They were all concerned about their image and pretended to be trying their best. However, eating, chewing and swallowing three pieces of watermelon is actually not very easy for women.
However, Shen Jingjing is an exception!
A burst of loud laughter suddenly broke out from the audience, and everyone's attention was immediately drawn to Shen Jingjing.
I saw her pick up the watermelon and pounce on it like a hungry wolf. She devoured a piece of the watermelon from one side in just three to five seconds, just like a bulldozer.
Then the second piece!
The third piece!
When she threw the third piece of watermelon rind on the table and looked up, her mouth was filled with watermelon pulp, her cheeks were bulging, and watermelon juice was oozing from the corners of her mouth.
It can be said that the image is completely gone!
The host was stunned, and when he came to his senses, he quickly announced: "Ms. Shen Jingjing wins!"
This shout startled Shen Jingjing, and she choked on the watermelon in her mouth, choking to the point of tears.
She quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from spitting out the watermelon in her mouth, then chewed it hard for a while and swallowed the whole watermelon.
Looking at the others, they only ate one piece, and after seeing Shen Jingjing win, they automatically gave up and continued.
The white napkins at the collars of several people were not stained at all. Only Shen Jingjing's napkin was stained by the splashed fruit pulp and juice. The crescent-white cheongsam was not spared and was splashed.
The scene of her working so hard initially caused laughter in the audience because it was too different from her original image, but it was followed by thunderous applause.
The applause was even louder than when Ni Man was picked to go on stage just now, and it lasted for several minutes.
Chen Ci looked at her mother on the stage and tears welled up in her eyes. She was always so serious, so sincere, so kind and shining!
Su Zheyuan clapped his hands as hard as he could. Secretary Gao, who was standing beside him, couldn't help crying when he saw Shen Jingjing choking on the watermelon.
Jiang Yuanliang stood in the center of the stage and applauded. He looked at Shen Jingjing on the stage, emotions surging in his eyes, and his heart was even more moved.
She is so real, so vivid, and so unique.
"Do you know this Ms. Shen Jingjing?"
At another table, a middle-aged man in a dark gray suit suddenly looked at his friend next to him and asked, and coincidentally, his friend was Boss Yang, a close friend of Chen Ci.
Before the event started, Acigang specially introduced her mother to him.
"We've just met, but I'm more familiar with her daughter." Boss Yang said as he clapped his hands. They were both veterans, so how could he not see what the other party was trying to say? He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Boss Fei, are you feeling a little mad?"
Fei Dong laughed out loud, but did not deny it: "She has temperament and courage, very good. Are you single?"
The feelings of middle-aged people are not so complicated and tentative. After all, they are all people who have experienced a lot. They can feel whether they like someone or not, and whether they are moved or not, at the first moment.
Boss Yang showed a meaningful expression and didn't keep the secret. He just lowered his voice and said, "As far as I know, this Ms. Shen has been single for more than 20 years and raised three very outstanding children by herself."
Director Fei nodded in understanding, his eyes showing even more interest. "Then could you please introduce me to him?"
