The beauty pageant was in full swing, but when the finals came, Chen Qing never expected that the male contestants would receive more votes than the female contestants.
But upon closer reflection, it's only natural for women to choose to look at handsome men when buying clothes.
After entering the finals, there were too many people queuing at Shengxia Clothing Store. Chen Qing went through a back door and arrived at Shengxia Clothing Store early, buying seventeen tickets under the guise of inspection.
It cost her 340 silver dollars!
Xiaoyu received ten votes.
Mao Mao got five votes.
Fu Shuyan received two votes.
Chen Qing probed briefly: "Who received the most votes?"
"Fu Shuyan, everyone thinks he's handsome."
"Oh~"
Chen Qing understood.
As the male protagonist in the book, Fu Shuyan is quite handsome.
In order to vote for his sister, He Yuxiang hired an employee to skip work and go to queue up to vote. He cast a full hundred votes for Xiaoyu, and distributed the clothes he bought as employee benefits.
Yang Yihe cast 120 votes.
Xiaoyu is 100.
Mao Mao is twenty.
When she learned that He Yuxiang hadn't voted for Mao Mao, she couldn't help but think to herself: Stingy!
Mao Mao also complained that He Yuxiang was stingy.
He Yuxiang complained about being poor.
Mao Mao: "..."
A person with assets of millions.
Tell him you're poor.
What's wrong with this world?
Does having more money mean you're more shameless?
Even Chen Qing couldn't imagine how stingy He Yuxiang was, and couldn't help but secretly ask him why.
He Yuxiang: "There's really no money left in the account."
He wasn't lying.
He is producing television sets, which involves huge upfront costs.
I eat at home every day now, just to save a little money.
Otherwise, he's just a small business owner; he wouldn't even have ten yuan in his pocket.
Nobody would believe it if I told them.
Chen Qing had nothing to say.
It's perfectly normal for entrepreneurs to have their money tied up.
"You should explain it to Mao Mao properly, or I can lend it to you."
"It's alright, he's already been sad enough, don't waste any more money, it's not a big deal anyway."
Since we've already been scolded, we should just save money.
Chen Qing: "..."
His reputation for being stingy remains unshaken.
At crucial moments, Qin Qiuhe traveled between major cities, coordinating with the media, responding to controversies, and overseeing the establishment and operation of polling stations.
She only sleeps three or four hours a day, yet she's full of energy. Her eyes light up whenever she sees sales figures and vote collection numbers soaring simultaneously.
As a participant, Xiaoyu was also closely monitoring the vote count.
She wanted to win.
I won some money to help my classmates' hometowns.
She was an orphan who grew up on the charity of many families. The village was very poor, but after they realized her talent for studying, the whole village saved every penny to support her to go to university.
After hearing this, Xiaoyu felt that the local customs were just right!
Unity is strength, and sometimes that's not just an empty phrase.
If Wangjia Village had been united enough back then, it wouldn't have remained just an ordinary village for so many years. You know, the person her brother chose to take on the project has already developed the village to the point where everyone is building a new house.
If this place can be developed, I believe a group of kind and intelligent people will emerge.
"Xiaoyu, you'll definitely make it to the finals."
Yang Yihe genuinely believes that it is not difficult for Xiaoyu to enter the finals.
"Maybe so, I'm just average-looking."
Xiao Yu could see the influence of the performing arts troupe in it.
She was insignificant compared to the technical staff.
"You are the most beautiful person in the world!"
Yang Yihe spoke with certainty.
No rebuttal will be accepted.
Xiao Yu pursed her lips; she understood.
Sister Xiaohe always showed her special favor.
After Xiaoyu entered the Summer Clothing Store, she heard girls shouting, "I want to vote for Fu Shuyan, the most handsome one! He's so good-looking, I dream about him all the time, hahaha~"
"I also support Fu Shuyan as the best-looking. What kind of taste do the others have? Voting for the old man and the blond guy? How can they compare to our Fu Shuyan who is so handsome!"
"Hey, what do you mean? What do you mean by 'old man'? That's called mature and beautiful. He's a steelworker. Look at those strong arms, look at those shoulders, look at that chest. That's a real man!! Do you young girls even understand what a real man is?!"
"No, no, no, I think Mao Mao is the most handsome. His smile is so sweet. Seeing him makes my whole day better. Besides, Huang Mao is mixed-race with Chinese and Big Brother. Let me tell you, he's also a singer, and he sings really well. I like him~"
"No, no, no, Fu Shuyan is the most handsome!"
"Fu Shuyan!!!"
...
Xiao Yu heard the name 'Fu Shuyan' in her ear and looked at the cashier with a puzzled expression.
A banner above the cashier reads: "Showcasing the New Look of One Billion People in Reform and Opening Up, Selecting the Most Beloved Representatives of Workers by the People."
Fu Shuyan's photo was placed in the most conspicuous place. Under the slanting sunlight, the boy's back was as straight as a pine tree, and the wisps of hair on his forehead cast a shadow. His eyebrows and eyes were delicate and beautiful, just like the bright and handsome young man that many people imagine.
But the clothes are very simple.
Absolutely not fashionable!
Isn't this a fashion contest?
It's more about looks!
Hearing the irritating name 'Fu Shuyan' all around her, Yang Yihe felt that he was poised to secure first place!
Fault lines are still the most important factor.
Yang Yihe doubted that the people of her country lacked aesthetic appreciation, and that the road to aesthetic education was long and arduous.

As the beauty pageant results were about to be announced, Shengxia Garment Factory established an independent judging and supervision committee, inviting representatives from the labor union, the Communist Youth League, the Women's Federation, the arts and culture sector, and even consumer representatives to participate.
The rules are fair, transparent, and impeccable.
Chen Qing was also watching closely, wanting to see which of her children would come in first place.
While paying attention to the beauty pageant, Chen Qing also hurriedly bought movie tickets.
The assassin movie starring He Yuxiang is finally coming out!
This is truly something to celebrate.
Chen Qing even went to see the poster, and you could really feel the director's affection for He Yuxiang from the movie poster.
He's just a nobody, yet he got to show his face!
The filming was quite engaging, fitting the character of an assassin.
He Yuxiang has deep double eyelids with thin, long lines, deep eye sockets, high brow bones, and a cool, pale complexion. He is good-looking, but his expression is indifferent, and his eyes reveal a coldness.
Chen Qing examined the movie poster and had to admit that the brat was quite handsome.
They look like they're doing something nice.
They wouldn't be outshone even when placed alongside international stars.
She asked the movie ticket seller, "Excuse me, how can I get this movie poster?"
"We find someone outside to print them; we don't sell posters."
"Okay, okay."
Chen Qing could only wait for someone to like the movie poster and buy it from the black market.
She took the movie tickets and went home.
He Yuxiang, one of the lead actors, refused to go to the movie.
Why waste that money?
Chen Qing: "My treat."
He Yuxiang: "Then I'll reluctantly go take a look, just to support the movie's box office." (End of Chapter)
