Chapter 598: Chapter 598: A Righteous Gentleman

“Jiang Xu, Nuonuo, I’ve been waiting for you guys for a long time.”

“Ah? Sister Xiaoyuan?”

“How come you’re here?”

Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo both felt extremely surprised.

Wang Xiaoyuan wasn’t supposed to be here.

After all, she had already graduated.

“Isn’t it obvious?” Wang Xiaoyuan said proudly, “Spent a bit of money, then became a senior college girl and could come join the competition.

How could I miss such a fun contest, and besides, this Miss isn’t lacking in qualifications at all.

It’s my unshirkable duty to bring glory to my hometown.”

An Nuonuo: “…”

Jiang Xu: “…”

Jiang Xu really wanted to say, this is an event for young people; you’re in your mid-twenties, please don’t get involved.

But after thinking it over, he decided not to say it, afraid she might go on a rampage right there and then.

An Nuonuo asked, “Sister Xiaoyuan, what kind of talent are you going to perform later?”

“Street dance.” Wang Xiaoyuan said confidently, “Let me tell you, I’m amazing at street dancing. I can definitely dazzle the audience.”

Next to them, Jiang Xu couldn’t hold back and asked, “Sister Xiaoyuan, aren’t you worried about being recognized? After all, you had a lot of celebrities registered under your name before.”

Wang Xiaoyuan’s smile stiffened, “Oh no, I totally forgot about that. This is bad, this is very bad, what if some bastard exposes me.”

Jiang Xu couldn’t help but find this amusing.

The competition began.

Jiang Xu went outside to wait.

However, for safety’s sake, he still sent a few female bodyguards to follow An Nuonuo.

As for whether the organizers consented, that wasn’t within his consideration.

They had to consent, whether they liked it or not!

Jiang Xu found a place to sit outside and took out his phone.

On the internet now, topics related to the School Beauty Contest were absurdly popular.

Jiang Xu looked on with envy.

But there was nothing he could do; he couldn’t get a piece of that traffic.

He checked the scores of the major regions.

Currently, Jiang City was in the lead with a score of 9.6!

Zhou Qingyue had also added quite a bit of color to the event, aside from An Nuonuo.

As for how she was able to participate, that was easy, just affiliate with some second-tier university.

Following close behind was Qingcheng, with 9.5.

Apart from Chu Youwei, many other girls scored over 90.

It could be bluntly said that without An Nuonuo, Jiang City might be the only one capable of competing with Sucheng from across the country.

The semi-finals were broadcast live by television stations.

It just so happened to be Saturday today, and the viewership was terrifyingly high.

Early on, loads of gentlemen (LSP) were already stationed in front of the TV.

Currently, the mobile network couldn’t support Jiang Xu watching the live broadcast, so he could only look at posts by bloggers.

The organizers had also set up a voting prediction for who would make the top ten in the Deep City semi-finals.

Naturally, An Nuonuo was in first place, with a landslide vote count of 5,388,868.

Zhou Qingyue was in second, barely passing a million.

The subsequent rankings didn’t need to be checked; the vote counts were plummeting like cliffs, completely in a different league.

Jiang Xu also took some time to understand the competition rules beforehand.

After the contestants perform on stage, the judging and online voting will begin.

The judges’ scores combined with the online votes (for example, a judge score of 50, plus 100 online votes, would result in a total score of 150).

After all the contestants have finished performing, the final vote count will be locked in.

Based on the vote count, the top ten of the competition will be determined.

The top ten from the semi-finals will have a chance to revive in the grand finals, while the champion will have two chances to revive.

The strategy is pretty good, the planner behind it is a master.

Backstage, many girls took this opportunity to take photos with An Nuonuo, ask for autographs, and even for her contact information.

Concerning security issues, the bodyguards didn’t let anyone get too close to An Nuonuo, always keeping a certain distance.

Facing these girls who were more or less her own age, and indeed many who were younger than her, An Nuonuo put on no airs at all.

She was just like the girl next door.

No matter who interacted with her, they would feel very comfortable.

As for those asking for her contact details, An Nuonuo didn’t refuse any of them, adding them all.

However, she added them on a secondary number, occasionally replying to some messages.

Zhou Qingyue arrived.

Her presence was powerful, yet her attire was simple.

Nothing more than denim jeans, a black top, and high heels.

She, too, wished to be flamboyant, yet she guessed that An Nuonuo would definitely not do so.

If she dressed in a flashy, extravagant manner, it might displease Jiang Xu.

Zhou Qingyue also had many female fans. When they saw her, many ran over to ask for autographs and pictures.

However, Zhou Qingyue came straight over to greet An Nuonuo with a very humble attitude.

A series of setbacks had made her realize reality, and she no longer had her former arrogance.

Well, that’s now, of course.

If one day Zhou Qingyue’s net worth reached billions, it’s likely she would become arrogant again.

That’s just how this woman is, a nature unlikely to change in this lifetime.

The competition began.

In the stands, a huge screen scrolled through the names of each contestant.

But that was merely for show, as certainly the backstage would manipulate the outcome.

Jiang Xu knew without thinking that Zhou Qingyue would definitely go second to last and An Nuonuo would be last.

Only this way could the traffic be maximized.

Those who made it to the semifinals, each girl was decent in various aspects.

You saw one after another college student taking the stage, wearing pleated skirts, JK uniforms, denim shorts, camisoles, and so on, to perform.

Whether singing, dancing, or other talents.

The breath of youth and vitality hit one right in the face.

What caught the eye was an array of long legs, with visual effects maxed out.

It was just that the live broadcast on TV had no bullet comments, otherwise, the screen would be filled with “Leg Play Year.”

No wonder some big shot said that no matter the age, men always like eighteen-year-old girls.

It was just that Jiang Xu’s taste and aesthetics had been so finely honed by An Nuonuo that he would have… cough cough!

At the moment, many people, including Jiang Xu’s enemies and competitors, both open and hidden, were watching the live broadcast of the competition.

Among them… were the people behind the Mei Family.

In a dark room, ‘he’ watched the live broadcast on TV, his aggressive gaze filled with a hint of desire.

Time passed by every minute and every second.

Many girls who performed scored good points and votes.

However, no one had yet provided a particularly astounding performance.

Finally, it was Zhou Qingyue’s turn to take the stage.

The cheering from the audience was intense.

Zhou Qingyue is now known as a national goddess, with high popularity.

“Thank you, everyone. I am Zhou Qingyue,” she said.

Zhou Qingyue took the microphone onto the stage.

In her tight jeans, her two long legs were very eye-catching.

They were long and straight, and also…

However, after she got on stage, instead of starting her performance right away, she said, “Before my performance, I want to confess my feelings to my boss, Mr. Jiang Xu.”
