The woman was dressed plainly, a striped plaid shirt with a pair of cropped denim pants, and a pair of indigo canvas shoes. Her body has some muscle, her smoothly black hair is tied high behind her head, her skin a bit dark, her face filled with laughter.
She walked towards the center of the stage along with the upbeat background music.
When she reached the stage, she waved to the audience below and the judges. With a smile on the corners of her lips, she was brimming with vitality.
Then she exchanged smiles with the host and sat down on the sofa together.
"Alright, welcome to the stage of ’Dreaming Twenty-first Century’, please introduce yourself simply," The male host smilingly asked, handing her a microphone.
"Okay, hello everyone, I’m an ordinary girl from Jiangnan, my name is Huang Xiaoxiao. Currently, I am working in Jiangqi City as a middle school Chinese teacher. I have participated in many marathons and mountain cycling events, climbed many mountains, and been to many faraway places."
As Huang Xiaoxiao spoke, a genuine smile of happiness spread across her face. After she finished speaking, a short video about her was appropriately displayed on the big screen behind her.
The video showed her in a small rented house in Jiangqi City. Inside, one wall and several cabinets were filled with third-place and participation trophies from various marathons and racewalk competitions. Dozens of photos were displayed as well, with her against the backdrop of mountains, waterfalls, and many other places she’s visited around the country.
"I feel very lucky to have visited many of the country’s famous scenic spots over the past few years. They were truly beautiful, hahaha."
As the short video played, Huang Xiaoxiao occasionally said a few words. Her raised forearm was slender, a clear sign that she exercises regularly.
"I see that you’ve been to so many places at such a young age," The host looked at the short video and then at Huang Xiaoxiao, laughing, and remarked.
"Yes, I am passionate about traveling. I think nature is beautiful, cycling is refreshing, and traveling is very relaxing. Every winter and summer vacation, I set out, hahaha."
Huang Xiaoxiao continued to speak, her words revealing her pride in her experiences and her joy.
"I came here today in the hope of fulfilling my dream of traveling abroad through this platform. I want to travel around the world and see even more beautiful places!"
When the short video finished playing, Huang Xiaoxiao shared her dream. Her eager gaze fell upon the four judges.
The funds required to travel around the world are far beyond the means of a middle school teacher, which is why she came here to try her luck.
Ling Wanlin and Wen Shan both kept quiet, smiling. On the other hand, Zhou Guorui, who was usually idle and wandered leisurely, resonated with her. He admired her adventurous spirit after seeing through the short video how she had climbed many tall mountains.
Such a pity.
He was too busy when he was young, and now that he’s older, his body won’t allow it.
"200,000."
Zhou Guorui gave an offer, gazing at Huang Xiaoxiao with sparkling eyes. His face was rosy because of his satisfaction, he seemed revitalized, "Young girl, wherever you wish to go, hurry and go now while you’re young."
"Ah, Thank you so much, Mr. Zhou." Huang Xiaoxiao gratefully said.
"200,000."
Yu Ting also followed with an offer, without any other meaning.
On the one hand, she liked to spend money, on the other, she valued others’ dreams.
