Watched by hundreds of millions of netizens, Lin Xiaoxiao opened a small envelope during the live broadcast.
"First, let's reveal the third place winner of 'Who is the Ten Thousand Yuan Household'. He/she is... Please look at the big screen."
The large screen behind Lin Xiaoxiao began to play.
Sheng Yiyi's gentle yet powerful voice, accompanied by the large screen, reached everyone's ears: "At the beginning, she was drawn as a farmer, passed the knowledge exam to get a job as a worker in a food factory, and then became a waitress at a foreign guest hotel thanks to her excellent oral communication skills and service attitude."
After the program's reforms were triggered, the visionary manager sold the park's handicrafts to tourists. The third-place winner of "Who is the Ten Thousand Yuan Household" is none other than Qu Lixin.
Qu Lixin went on stage with a smile. He didn't expect to be only third place. It seems that everyone here is full of hidden talents. However, he already had an idea about the job of third place.
He glanced at Ouyang Weidong, who was clapping enthusiastically below the stage. He had been a little short of money, but when he woke up the next day, he had enough. Ouyang Weidong thought he had disguised himself well, trying to make himself believe that he had miscounted the money the day before.
But how could he not see through the hurried way she urged him to submit it?
He knew that Ouyang Weidong had come for his mother. Moreover, he had already found the most precious thing in the program "Who is the Ten Thousand Yuan Household".
He's doing really well in this industrial park; he definitely has a knack for business. But his brother, Ouyang Weidong, is different. He's a bit impulsive and easily trusts others; he'd better just stick to working in the park.
He's different; he's a trendsetter of the times! A man destined to conquer the stars and the sea! How could he possibly be an NPC in the park? That would be a waste of his abilities.
"This three-month program has deeply moved me. Every era has its own waves, let's set sail together and conquer those waves!!!"
Qu Lixin's acceptance speech instantly ignited the atmosphere. Having spent the past three months in the park, some had realized their childhood dreams, some had resolved their inner conflicts, some had found friendships, and some had even gained courage.
Everyone who participated gained something.
"Next, let's announce the second place winner of this 'Who is the Ten Thousand Yuan Household' competition. She is smart and brave. She also started as a farmer. After being admitted to the soap factory, she never forgot her original aspiration. With her extraordinary skills, she opened a boxed lunch store in the park, providing more choices for the people in the park. She also developed a variety of beverages such as milk tea, enriching the taste buds of the people in the park. The second place winner of 'Who is the Ten Thousand Yuan Household' is her, Xie Chunmei."
Xie Chunmei, her face streaked with tears, embraced Wang Cuihua and Sheng Xiuqin beside her.
Sheng Xiuqin patted her, urging her to hurry up and go on stage to receive the award.
Although Xie Chunmei strongly refused, Sheng Xiuqin and Wang Cuihua still pooled their money and gave it to Xie Chunmei.
As Sheng Xiuqin laughed, she thought to herself, "Why are these little girls crying? It's a good thing, isn't it?" Her eyes even welled up with tears. This era truly belongs to the young. As for her "useless" son, he's capable of anything, and the family owns three or four houses—enough to keep him from starving.
Besides, what son could be better than a close female friend with whom you can weather any storm?
Xie Chunmei tried hard to control her sobs, but it was no use. "Thank you, Sister Xiuqin, thank you, Wang Cuihua."
Wang Cuihua looked somewhat helpless offstage. If it weren't for the tears welling up in her eyes, she would have rolled her eyes. Humph, I told you not to call her Cuihua.
Sheng Xiuqin's eyes also unconsciously reddened. She and Xie Chunmei had the longest contact because of doing business. Xie Chunmei was a girl not much older than her son, but she shared the same past as Sheng Xiuqin.
Xie Chunmei's family fell into poverty, and she eventually dropped out of school to work. However, Xie Chunmei was very brave; she escaped that deadly situation. When the industrial park launched its college entrance examination, Xie Chunmei did not apply.
For Xie Chunmei, money brings more security than education. Xie Chunmei sometimes tells Sheng Xiuqin that her family members were all very good at first, but things seemed to change after her grandfather suffered a stroke and her father lost a leg in a car accident.
Money became a heavy consideration in her heart since childhood. She began to calculate every penny and fantasize about whether none of this would have happened if she had money. She could continue her studies, she wouldn't have to worry about being fired by her boss, she wouldn't have to work several jobs a day, and her mother wouldn't have been in a car accident after working so hard.
Money had been a constant worry for Xie Chunmei since she was sixteen or seventeen. Her mother was gone, her father was disabled and his personality was gradually becoming twisted, her grandmother scavenged for recyclables, and her grandfather lay in bed with his hair parted in the middle. The heartwarming scene of her family singing and blowing out candles to bless her on her birthday seemed like a hallucination. Her life seemed to only begin at sixteen or seventeen. She had considered ending it all, but was unexpectedly saved. This world was bitter for her; she had no friends because, in her view, only money could bring them.
Her life was trapped by money. Originally, she came here hoping to get a job and then resell it, but in these short three months, she gained friendship.
The strong-willed Sheng Xiuqin and the easygoing Wang Cuihua gradually soothed her anxieties about money. Just as Sheng Xiuqin said, as long as you're alive, there's always a chance!
Xie Chunmei has decided to open her own restaurant, and she will share these three jobs equally with her two friends.
"As long as you work hard, you will definitely be rewarded. Everyone can do it! Your best friends will always be your strongest support!"
Xie Chunmei struggled to suppress her sobs as she finished her acceptance speech.
"Now let's reveal the winner of 'Who is the Ten Thousand Yuan Household'. He started as a graduate, but he was unwilling to let his abilities go to waste, so he founded a steel factory."
