What Will He Give Her?
Through Lin Xi and Chen Che’s conversation, the netizens also learned that there was a competition tonight and immediately discussed it in the comments section.
[Everyone, what can this pauper give?]
[Will you go to the dollar store to buy a small gift? Haha!]
[In my opinion, he can’t even bear to spend $2. He might even pick up something that others don’t want!]
[Don’t lead the way. I think Chen Che’s gift will be unexpected!]
[That’s right. Hurry up and set the alarm. I’m really curious what he will send!]
…
While there were various opinions online, Chen Che was also racking his brains to think about what to give.
His core idea was that since it had to be meaningful, it was best not to spend money!
Coincidentally, there were not many deliveries today. Just after noon, Chen Che finished his work, which gave him enough time to prepare.
However, he still could not think of any good ideas.
Just as Chen Che was sitting at the entrance of the delivery company and thinking hard, a mother and daughter passed by.
The little girl held a doll in her hand and was extremely happy.
Seeing this, Chen Che suddenly had an idea. A doll seemed to be a childhood memory for every girl, right?
He believed that Lin Xi would definitely like what he had brought out tonight!
Not daring to dawdle any longer, Chen Che got up and ran.
The cameraman was stunned and hurriedly got into the car to chase after him. He thought to himself, What is Chen Che up to this time?
The netizens watching the livestream were also filled with curiosity.
An hour later, Chen Che arrived at the rented apartment and went straight to the supermarket where the clothes were stored.
“Yo, Little Chen, you’re back. You’ve been so popular these past few days!”
“What popular? I’m just an ordinary citizen.” Chen Che smiled humbly.
“Are you coming back to take the things away?” the shopkeeper asked.
Chen Che shook his head. “No, I have to leave the suitcase with you first. I’m just taking something. By the way, can you lend me your warehouse?”
“Of course, use it.” The shopkeeper nodded without hesitation.
After getting permission, Chen Che looked at the camera again. “The following process needs to be kept a secret. Wait for me outside.”
After saying that, Chen Che hurriedly ran towards the warehouse.
Because they could not see what Chen Che wanted to do, the netizens were all impatient.
They wondered what Chen Che was up to. What kind of gift could he get when he returned?
A few hours passed. Chen Che, who ran into the warehouse, did not come out, nor did he pick Lin Xi up from work.
This made the netizens even more curious, and the popularity of the live-stream increased again and again.
Compared to the other groups, Chen Che’s side was obviously more attractive.
The reason was very simple. Chen Che was already famous for being poor and stingy. Everyone was wondering what kind of penny-pinching method he would use this time.
At 5:30 pm, Chen Che finally came out of the warehouse with a satisfied smile on his face and a bag in his hand.
The VJ hurriedly zoomed in, but unfortunately, he couldn’t see what was inside.
The netizens in front of the screen were even more anxious. They wished they could jump to Chen Che’s side and open the bag to take a look!
An hour later.
Chen Che and Lin Xi met at the agreed location.
Walking to Chen Che’s side, Lin Xi also took a few curious glances. “What is this?”
“You’ll know in a while. I guarantee that it’s of extraordinary significance.” Chen Che smiled mysteriously and protected his pocket tightly.
Lin Xi smiled sweetly and did not ask further.
Guaranteed to be of extraordinary significance?
Upon hearing this, the netizens could not wait any longer. Their anticipation was completely maxed out.
There were even people who kept asking the organizers to start quickly!
After a short while, they arrived at the broadcast station building in Jiangshi City and entered the conference hall under the guidance of the staff.
At this moment, there were already several groups here. They did not interact with each other, and the atmosphere was a little strange.
This was also the first time since the program began that the participants of each group had gathered together.
As Chen Che and Lin Xi entered, they immediately attracted attention. Everyone’s gaze was different. There was jealousy, disdain, and hostility.
When there was competition, there would be conflicts. This was very normal, so Chen Che and Lin Xi ignored it.
Fang Weixun and Zheng Hui had already arrived and were sitting opposite Chen Che.
As soon as Chen Che and Lin Xi sat down, Fang Weixun said in a strange tone, “What’s in the bag? It can’t be trash donated by others, right? Don’t embarrass your goddess.”
“What you’re looking forward to won’t appear.” Chen Che smiled faintly.
“Is that so?” Fang Weixun laughed strangely and continued, “If I were you, I would forfeit immediately to avoid embarrassing myself later.”
The last time they met, he had spoken coldly. This time, he was aggressive. Chen Che directly retorted, “If we’re talking about embarrassment, who’s as embarrassed as you were last time? Have you paid your debt? Will those big brothers come again later?”
Fang Weixun immediately blushed and said angrily, “I was just short of money last time. How can I not be able to pay back a mere tens of thousands of dollars? Do you think I’m like you? I don’t even have $3,000 in my bank account!”
...
“It’s true that I’m poor, but I don’t have to be afraid.” After a pause, Chen Che deliberately asked, “Speaking of which, what did you prepare? Don’t tell me you bought it with a loan again?”
“Stop your nonsense. I didn’t. I can’t be bothered to talk nonsense with you. Let’s see who will be embarrassed later.” Fang Weixun avoided his gaze and looked guilty.
Chen Che saw through it but did not say anything. He was too lazy to bicker with the other party.
After waiting patiently, the members of each group arrived one after another. Luo Yuelin was the last to appear.
She was dressed in branded clothes and sparkling jewelry. Compared to the women present, her status appeared extraordinary.
Seeing this, Lin Xi couldn’t help but whisper, “Look at the way she walked. It’s obvious that she came late on purpose. Isn’t it to show off?”
When Chen Che heard this, he smiled without saying anything.
After another ten minutes, under the anticipation of the entire Internet, the host gave a passionate opening speech and the competition finally began.
The big screen at the front lit up and was synchronized with the shooting scene. This was to make it easier for everyone to watch and vote. The live-streams of the ten groups also gathered in the main channel.
The voting window was displayed at the bottom of the screen. At this moment, the votes of each group were all zero. Such a public method was considered fair and just.
Then, the first group to appear was Luo Yuelin’s group.
...
In fact, Luo Yuelin had made the request to the organizer. Her thoughts were very simple. She had brought out the expensive gift first. How could others have the cheek to compete?
She was competitive. No matter what competition it was, she had to get first place or she wouldn’t feel good.
Under the host’s guidance, Li Wei stood up and walked to Luo Yuelin’s side. He slowly took out a jewelry box from his pocket and carefully opened it.
The camera zoomed in, and there was a gemstone ring inside.
The sharp-eyed netizens immediately recognized this item. Then, the live-stream exploded with comments.
[F*ck, is this the Eternal Love that was very popular on the Internet a while ago?]
[He actually got it? This should cost at least a few million, right?]
[It’s not about how much money. It’s about whether he’s qualified to enter that private auction!]
