Ies felt that he was just an old universal bomb, and it would be too embarrassing for him to participate in a beauty pageant, especially in front of the whole city.
"What?—That's not the case!"
Hearing Ies's aggrieved speech, Jiayin was extremely surprised. She reached out and picked it up, saying word by word...
"You are our... ahem... our beloved Bomb! Isn't that enough to prove your charm?
In my eyes, no Bomb is more qualified to be my partner than Ies! Now all I have to do is make the entire New Elito see Ies's cuteness and agree with my judgment. Easy, right?
Chapter 362: Ambiguous and awkward atmosphere
After Jiayin's persuasion, Ies agreed to participate in the competition. As parents, the brother and sister naturally chose to support him.
"Leave the registration to Eve. We just need to figure out how to win each round. That's it~
Well... we don't have much time left to prepare, otherwise I wouldn't be so anxious to come to you today..."
"Not a lot...how many?"
"Um...a day?"
Jiayin answered hesitantly. Ling felt speechless when she heard it, but she still comforted herself.
"It's okay. At least it doesn't start in half an hour."
"That's what I said, but the competition starts tomorrow. Is there really enough time to prepare?"
Zhe looked at Jiayin with some concern, and the latter patted his chest confidently.
"Don't worry, I've already figured out a winning strategy! [Lidou has Bu] is just a Bub beauty pageant after all~
The competition schedule is very simple. It lasts for 5 days, with one round every day. As long as you win all the way to the day of the gold medal and defeat the last opponent, you will be the champion~"
Jiayin's words were really simple, but it was also a manifestation of her confidence. Her own plan was to change Ies's appearance in each round of the game.
The reason why the champion can be decided in five rounds is because the auditions and group matches in the first two days are basically decided by drawing lots. As long as you reach the third day, you will enter the quarterfinals.
With such a strong randomness, if Fairy were here, she would probably start using 18 different ways to mock the looseness of the competition system...
"Don't worry, I'm super lucky. If we put all of us together, it will be enough anyway.
I'll cover all the costume-related expenses! Just report it to Eve. And I've already prepared the first set of costume accessories for the competition!
It was designed by Jiayin herself based on the popular trend of the Bangbu appearance in the latest quarter. It is now in Evelyn's hands. I believe Ies will like it too.
However, due to time constraints, even Evelyn could only customize one set. It was somewhat unrealistic to realize Jiayin's plan of changing the exterior accessories every round of competition.
At times like this, we need to ask the good neighbors of Liufen Street for help...
"As expected of you, Phaethon. You're always so reliable. I'm bothering you all of a sudden again. I really..."
"Hey~~~ What do you mean by 'another trouble'? Does Eve think this idea of mine is troublesome?"
Before Evelin could finish her words, Jiayin looked at her pretending to be unhappy, and the former's morale immediately dropped when she saw this.
“…That’s not what I meant…”
"It's not a big deal, and we think it's quite interesting."
Zhe spoke up to help out, and Evelin immediately gave him a grateful look. After hearing that, Jiayin didn't pursue the matter any further.
"That's right! Zhe is so nice, I never worried for a second that you would not agree to me~"
Jiayin laughed happily, and Evelin kindly reminded him based on the current situation.
"I'll leave the competition to you. The lady might tell you she'll help, but don't count on her too much."
"Wait, wait a minute, how can Eve say that about me—"
"You also need to prepare for the lighting ceremony. I will try to adjust your schedule so that you can work with Zhe on the [Lidu Cloth] matter."
Before Jiayin finished speaking, Evelin took out her work schedule, leaving the former speechless and unable to do anything but nod with some disappointment.
"So I'm afraid you'll have to work hard on most things."
"Yeah, no problem."
Besides, it was already amazing that Evelin could make Jiayin appear here now.
"...Your tone is so weird! I won't be a hands-off boss. I will do my best to help Zhe~"
"Thank you for your hard work, Jiayin."
In response to Jiayin's dissatisfied remarks, Zhe only needed a word of comfort to make her happy again.
"If you need anything else, feel free to contact me. Please make sure to win that championship... Thank you in advance, Zhe."
"no need thank me?"
Evelin’s words made Zhe a little confused.
"Thank you... for fulfilling Jiayin's wish. You always do that..."
"I'm glad to have this opportunity. Besides, isn't that what you wanted, too?"
"oops…"
"Um... um."
Zhe's words made Jiayin and Evelin more or less shy, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
"Hmm? (Didn't you say you wanted to change the parts? Why...why are you all suddenly silent?)"
"Hmm? (Why are your faces all red...?)"
After Ies said two sentences in a row, Jiayin, who couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere, quickly changed the subject.
"Ah! Ies is right, accessories, accessories, it depends on the accessories~ Ies, come and see if you like it!"
Then, after Evelin coughed awkwardly, she took out a set of Bomb accessories.
"Hmm... (My whole body is pink...! This is so embarrassing...!)"
Ies was resistant at first, but with the praise and encouragement from Jiayin, Ling, Zhe and others, he finally gave in.
After resolving this matter, Jiayin and Evelin left to get busy with their New Year work.
After returning home, I did some research on the [Lidu Bu] competition...
I have to say that although Jiayin seemed to be acting impulsively, the strategy he proposed was quite effective... although it was also very expensive.
After a night of rest, it was time for the auditions for [Lidu Bu]. As agreed with Jiayin, we arrived at the Xinghuan TV Tower...
"You guys are here so early! Luckily I listened to Eve and left early. How was your rest yesterday? Do you need me to teach Ies some stage tricks before the competition?"
"If that's the case, that would be a great help."
"Hey, why does your tone sound a little... Are the preparations not going well?"
Jiayin looked at the two people in front of her in confusion, and Zhe began to explain to her.
"Ies is still a little shy."
"Oh, yeah~ Ies, why aren't you wearing your new clothes? Why don't you change into them now? You'll definitely attract everyone's attention~"
"Hmm, hmm... (Zhe, Zhe... help, help me... We agreed to change before the game...)"
Faced with Ies's request for help, the brother and sister couldn't bear to refuse. Jiayin even said that the two were too accommodating to Ies.
"But Jiayin also said that mentality is very important."
"Alright, alright~ Zhe has said so, so Eve, let's book a restaurant! Uh, is it too late today?"
Jiayin turned to look at Evelin, who shook her head helplessly.
"It's too late. I'll set it up for you at dinner time the next day of Takujin Day."
But this conversation left the brother and sister somewhat puzzled.
Chapter 363 Nicole who lost the bet
“Why do you want to book a restaurant?”
"I want to celebrate passing the auditions... but if I can't make it today, I can celebrate after I win the championship, that's fine too~"
Jiayin answered Zhe's words with full confidence, as if winning the championship was as easy as taking candy from a baby.
"The auditions haven't even started yet... Jiayin is really confident."
"This is an accessory I designed. Passing the auditions shouldn't be a piece of cake, right?"
Everyone else thought there was no problem, but as a contestant, Ies was still not very confident and was afraid that he would do something wrong on stage.
But after just a few words from Jiayin, he was fooled again.
Seeing that the game was about to begin and more and more people were gathering around, Evelin persuaded Jiayin to return to the exclusive lounge in order to avoid trouble.
Before leaving, she gave Zhe a serious look. Was she asking him to study her next opponent? Never mind. Let's observe the situation in the hall first.
Zhe was thinking this, and then he saw two familiar people, to be exact, Bombu...
Emilian of the Cunning Rabbit House and Red Mokus of the Outer Ring Calydonians, but did they actually come all the way to participate in this event?
Later we found out that Bernice had heard about Nicole's plan from Billy, so she asked Mokus to participate in the competition as well.
When he entered the contestant waiting area, Bernice immediately noticed him and greeted him warmly while sharing her brilliant ideas.
Without declining her enthusiasm, after talking for a while, Zhe went to the other side and found Nicole and Lucy who was talking to her.
"What! Zhe, you're here quite early! Well~ Emilian did a good job this time."
"What are you and Lucy discussing?"
Zhe said this while looking at Lucy beside him. The latter chuckled and did not hide her plan.
"I've recently been considering the expansion direction of [Zhu Tu Meng Jin] and how to further improve the utilization rate of current assets..."
“Have you considered the cost?”
"Haha, if conditions permit, of course I have to try to keep my costs as low as possible~"
After Lucy said this, Nicole beside her also spoke in tacit cooperation.
"In other words, first make our own Bangbu famous on [Lido Cloth]... and then use this to attract financing..."
“Use investors’ money to implement my business plan!”
"Oh hehehe... using borrowed money to make money, that's the smartest thing in the world!"
The conversation between Lucy and Nicole made Zhe confused for a moment about who infected whom. One was the daughter of a consortium with business talent, and the other was the extremely shrewd founder of Cunning Rabbit House.
The two of them really hit it off unexpectedly...
"How about this, Zhe? If you're interested in investing in an angel fund—right now—I can offer you very favorable terms for the capital injection~"
Nicole has even begun to fantasize that when she makes a lot of money and pays off her debts, she will pay Zhe to serve her.
Although it seems no different from now...but it doesn't matter, being happy is the most important thing!
"Wait a minute Nico, you're going to make a move now? Choose your target or Zhe?!"
Lucy spoke in surprise. Zhe didn't want to burst Nicole's daydream, but still gave her a kind reminder.
"You should know... this competition is very random, right?"
"Of course I know—so what? What do I have to lose? I can just coax Emilian a little bit, and I'll make a lot of money with no investment. Why wouldn't I take the gamble?"
As expected, Nicole said such shameless words, and Zhe did not lend her the money.
"Also, a special reminder, Nicole, don't bet on anything else!"
"Okay, okay, I get it... Humph~ Anyway, it's [Takujin Day, money-making time]! If I don't make some good money before the New Year, how am I going to pay for my prepaid vacation after the New Year?"
Nicole obeyed Zhe's words in a slightly weaker tone, but still did not give up her original plan.
“…If you don’t have money, don’t pay in advance.”
"I've worked hard all year! Isn't it time to reward myself?"
There's really no other way. Anyway, all the members of Cunning Rabbit House will probably go together, and we can just lend money to Nicole later.
(You usually get a lot of rewards, right?)
"Hmph, I'm not aiming for such superficial goals... Wait until I build the Son of Calydon's business empire, oh hehe..."
