Chapter 459
Shen Ci clapped excitedly: "Mom, it's you!"
Su Zheyuan cheered on the side: "Auntie, hurry up, come on! If you win, "Liuliu Plum" will donate 50 yuan in your name!"
Shen Jingjing snapped out of it and walked toward the stage under the gaze of everyone, without any hesitation.
Su Zheyuan's words just now reminded her. That's right, she was here to attend a charity event. Winning meant donating money, which was doing a good deed.
Off stage, Jiang Yuanliang clapped while locking his gaze on Shen Jingjing's figure as she walked toward the stage.
That moon-white cheongsam set her off exceptionally well. The spotlight hit her, making the silver threads in the cheongsam shine, as if she herself was glowing.
Jiang Yuanliang's attention was focused, and then he heard the host say again: "Number 6, Ms. Ni Man of the Jiangdong Group."
Because Ni Man attended as Jiang Yuanliang's female companion, she represented the Jiangdong Group.
Ni Man stood up shyly. The applause at the scene was the most intense, just because she was Jiang Yuanliang's female companion today, and many people knew that the two met through a blind date. Maybe she really was the future Mrs. Jiang.
"Come on."
Jiang Yuanliang stood up and hugged Ni Man gently. Ni Man was both excited and a bit nervous. Although her family was well-off, she hadn't actually attended such an event.
After nodding slightly, she walked onto the stage.
The audience off stage also stood up one after another, wanting to see clearly. The five ladies on stage, four of them were wearing evening gowns and also wearing complicated jewelry.
Only Shen Jingjing was wearing a cheongsam, and without the interference of jewelry, she went into battle lightly.
Several people were watched by so many people off stage, and their hearts were more or less nervous, and their inner activities also increased.
Mrs. Li, as a noble lady who was elegant and dignified on weekdays, although she was strong and irritable in character, her inner cognition of nobility was always there, and she also paid great attention to face.
Ni Man's inner activities were even richer. Jiang Yuanliang was watching from below, so she couldn't lose her image. After all, in Jiang Yuanliang's eyes, she was a woman with very good cultivation in words and deeds.
The other two contestants also thought that it was enough to just do the appearance. Anyway, everyone must have obstacles in their hearts. Who could really ignore their image completely?
Only Shen Jingjing, her eyes fixed on the three slices of watermelon in front of her, was already constructing which slice to eat first in her mind, analyzing from the external structure of the watermelon which side to start eating to eat faster.
There was no worry about her own image in her eyes, only the desire for victory in the game.
Fifty yuan, used on those who need help, that could do so many things.
The waiter also thoughtfully distributed a large napkin to each person, and several people fixed it at the collar to prevent watermelon juice from splashing on their clothes.
Seeing that the preparation was complete, the host also stood up with interest. The band at the scene played tense drum sounds, and then the host said: "3, 2, 1, start!"
As the sound fell, the five people on stage moved at the same time. The movements of the five people reaching out were very fast, looking as if they were all determined to win.
But the movements of the five people after picking up the watermelon were different.
Mrs. Li's mouth opened very wide, and she could bite off a large piece in one bite, but she ate slowly.
Ni Man seemed to eat fast, but she only ate faster than usual. She looked very hard, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that she had concerns, which was Jiang Yuanliang's gaze. The other two were also the same, all considering their image, pretending to be very hard, but eating, chewing, and swallowing three slices of watermelon was actually not very easy for women.
However, Shen Jingjing was an exception!
A burst of loud laughter suddenly erupted off stage, and everyone's attention was instantly attracted to Shen Jingjing.
I saw her pick up the watermelon like a hungry wolf, and from one side of the watermelon, with the momentum of a whirlwind, she ate a slice in three or five seconds like a bulldozer.
Then the second slice!
The third slice!
When she threw the third watermelon rind on the table and looked up, her mouth was stuffed with watermelon pulp, her cheeks were bulging, and watermelon juice was seeping from the corners of her mouth.
It could be said that she had no image at all!
The host was stunned. Only after coming back to his senses did he quickly announce: "Ms. Shen Jingjing wins!"
This shout also startled Shen Jingjing. The watermelon in her mouth choked her, and tears came out.
She quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from spitting out the watermelon in her mouth, and then chewed with difficulty for a while before swallowing all the watermelon.
Looking at the others, they only ate one slice. After seeing Shen Jingjing win, they all automatically gave up continuing.
The white napkins at the collars of several people were not stained at all. Only Shen Jingjing's napkin was stained with a large area of pulp and juice, and the moon-white cheongsam was not spared, and it was also splashed.
This scene of her fighting so hard, first because of the contrast with her original image, caused a burst of laughter at the scene, but what followed was mountain-shaking warm applause.
It was even more intense than the applause when Ni Man was drawn to the stage, and it lasted for several minutes.
Shen Ci looked at her mother on stage and was a little moved to tears. She was always so serious, so sincere, so kind, and so shining!
Su Zheyuan clapped the hardest. Secretary Xiao Gao to the side couldn't help but cry when she saw Shen Jingjing choked by the watermelon.
Jiang Yuanliang stood in the center position below the stage and clapped. He looked at Shen Jingjing on the stage, his eyes surging with emotions, and his heart was even more moved.
She was so real, so vivid, so different.
"Do you know this Ms. Shen Jingjing?"
At another table, a middle-aged man in a dark gray suit suddenly looked at his friend beside him and asked, and coincidentally, this friend of his was Shen Ci's old friend, Boss Yang.
Before the event started, A-Ci had just introduced her mother to him specifically.
"We just met, and I'm closer to her daughter." Boss Yang said while clapping. They were all old hands in the business, how could he not see the other party's intention? He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Chairman Fei, is your heart blooming for the second time?"
Chairman Fei laughed immediately, but didn't deny it: "Good temperament, and courage, very good. Is she single?"
The feelings of middle-aged people don't have so many twists and turns and probes. After all, they are all people who have experienced thousands of sails. Like or not, heart-moving or not, they perceive it at the first moment.
Boss Yang revealed a meaningful expression and didn't sell it, just lowered his voice and said: "As far as I know, this Ms. Shen has been single for more than twenty years, raising three very excellent children alone."
Chairman Fei nodded understandingly, and the interest in his eyes became stronger: "Then, trouble you to help me introduce her later?"
