Chapter 208 Encountering a Gold Digger
On the stage, the male guest held the female guest's hand, and the two walked off the stage sweetly.
As usual, the bald host expressed his blessing to the two: "Let us congratulate you once again on your successful marriage! Best wishes to you both! Also, don't forget to go backstage to find the staff and claim the luxurious vacation for two that our show is offering!"
"Now, let's give a warm round of applause to welcome the last male guest of this episode!"
There was applause from the audience.
Pei Yan walked to the stage lift and waited to go on stage.
In the darkness, a small hand gently squeezed his hand, "Daddy, Zhizhi will be cheering you on from down there!"
To be honest, Xiao Taozhi didn't really care about winning or losing the bet with Pei Yan.
If she loses, Dad can find someone to accompany him for the rest of his life. If she wins, Dad will continue to go on blind dates.
No matter what, she felt that she had not lost out.
After saying that, Xiao Taozhi ran away and followed the staff to sit in the audience seats arranged in advance.
on stage.
The lift platform slowly rose with the sound of music.
Pei Yan walked to the center of the stage. The bald host handed him the microphone and said, "Young man, welcome to our If You Are the One program. Don't be so reserved. Please introduce yourself first."
Before going on stage, Pei Yan deliberately greeted the organizer. Except for the makeup artist and the person in charge, no one present knew Pei Yan's identity.
As soon as the words fell.
Next second.
With a "beep", a female guest turned off the light.
There was an uproar in the audience.
The host was also a little caught off guard. After all, he had been hosting this show for so many years, and this was the first time he saw the lights turned off before the self-introduction.
"Let's take a look. Female guest number 12 has turned off the lights."
All eyes on and off the stage were turned to the female guest who had turned off the lights.
Pei Yan looked along with everyone else.
She is the twelfth female guest.
The host adjusted the atmosphere and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, Ms. Yang Xue, number 12, did you accidentally press the light-off button?"
"The host is joking. I just unilaterally don't have any hope for this male guest."
The host glanced at Pei Yan's expression and said, "Oh, what do you mean?"
The female guest named Yang Xue said bluntly, "I personally think that as a blind date, everyone's purpose is very clear, and that is to go on a blind date.
Throughout the show, the other male guests all paid great attention to their appearance and showed their best side to everyone. This is sincerity."
She glanced at Pei Yan's clothes with disdain and said sharply, "But this male guest, whether from his clothes or hairstyle, I can't see any sincerity at all.
I even want to ask, sir, did you wash your face when you came here today? Also, why can't you dress more decently when you come to this kind of show?
Pei Yan listened quietly, scratched his temple with his fingertips, then took the host's microphone and said in a deliberately low voice:
"Ms. Yang, first of all, to answer your first question, I did wash my face before going out. Secondly, the outfit I'm wearing from head to toe today is what I consider to be the most comfortable.
If you think that wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and casual pants is an indecent outfit and it offends you, then I have nothing to say."
The host interjected, "It seems our Xiao Pei's outfit accidentally touched Miss Yang's sore spot."
Yang Xue raised her hand: "Host, I have one more thing to add. I don't know about others, but for me, I hope my significant other is at least a white-collar worker."
Host: "Ms. Yang, I see that ever since you came on this show, you've always insisted that the man's position must be higher than yours, right?"
"Yes, because I am a white-collar worker and don't have a car or a house, but I have a fixed amount of high-end consumption expenses every month. So I hope my partner's salary must be higher than mine, and he must have a car and a house."
Immediately, Yang Xue changed the subject: "But at least from the way this male guest is dressed, I can tell that he doesn't meet my requirements, so I've chosen to turn off the lights early."
Upon hearing this, Pei Yan curled the corners of his mouth in disdain.
He finally understood.
The woman's previous excuses for his indecent clothing were all pretexts. To put it bluntly, she disliked the way he dressed too poorly and thought he couldn't give her the material life she wanted.
Pei Yan sneered.
He has a principle in both his daily interpersonal interactions and business dealings.
If someone showed him an inch of respect, he would return it ten feet. But he was too lazy to play along with those who spoke harshly.
Pei Yan didn't give Yang Xue any face and said bluntly, "Miss Yang, do you have any big misunderstandings about yourself?"
Yang Xue's expression changed: "What do you mean?"
"From what I just learned backstage, you are 27 years old, graduated from an ordinary first-class university, and currently work at an ordinary company."
Pei Yan paused for a moment before saying, "In terms of age, you've already passed your prime. In terms of financial resources, your monthly salary barely covers your daily expenses. In terms of appearance..."
Oh, that goes without saying. Since you have nothing, why do you expect those high-ranking officials to choose you? "
As soon as these words came out.
The whole place fell into dead silence.
Even the host was dumbfounded and forgot to come out to control the situation for a moment.
Being humiliated in public, Yang Xue's face darkened immediately. "Mr. Pei, wait until you reach the position of a gold-collar worker first, and then tell me why the gold-collar worker wouldn't choose me!"
She was so angry that her throat choked for a moment. In a blink of an eye, her eyes happened to fall on the watch on Pei Yan's wrist: "Also, Mr. Pei, if you like luxury goods, you can buy them through regular channels. There is no need to wear a fake watch."
A moment.
All eyes on the field were focused on the watch on Pei Yan's wrist.
There was a whisper among the audience for a while.
After all, it is unprecedented in the history of this show that the male and female guests started arguing at the very beginning.
The host didn't even bother to follow the formalities and just joined in the discussion: "Xiao Pei, since Miss Yang and everyone else are so curious about the watch on your wrist, why don't you tell us about the origin of the watch?"
Pei Yan looked at his watch. The microphone was at his lips, but he didn't say a word.
A smug look appeared on Yang Xue's face. "Host, don't ask me anymore. I understand that the watch he's wearing was made by the Federation's top watchmaker, using the purest yellow diamonds from the Moride Empire. There are only two of these in the entire Federation."
One was bought by the King of the Moride Empire, and another was bought by the youngest richest man in our country. So, may I ask, where did you get this third watch on your hand?"
