Chapter 2211: Chapter 1877: Who Isn’t Ambitious?
The security guard competition concluded successfully.
After all this excitement, everyone was incredibly satisfied, and they no longer anticipated the upcoming games as fervently.
Gao Xinzhi, who hadn’t registered, watched quite a spectacle and observed those strong security guards flaunting their muscles, noticing her face turned yellowish.
Ah! She thought, in her prime years and youthful appearance, how come she hasn’t seriously dated anyone? She wondered what these physically fit people are like.
She felt a little regret in her heart: If she had known, she would have signed up to try it out.
Among the team, there were two slightly handsome ones, with girls beside them chatting and handing them water.
But then she thought, pursuing love in the vegetable field is fine if it works out, but if it doesn’t, wouldn’t it be awkward to meet later? If things go bad, wouldn’t even work feel annoying? That would be a loss!
After all, she is currently very satisfied with her job.
Weighing the pros and cons back and forth, she still needed to do her main job, and now she proudly placed the red cash on the table, with everyone’s eyes following her, feeling smug:
Thinking about it this way, it’s wiser not to register!
Otherwise, who would she reason with if her job gets affected because of a man?
Furthermore, She Min, who had registered, was still shrinking in the corner with a flushed face, presumably feeling the same confusion.
Yet she dared not take a step outside.
Oh!
Gao Xinzhi thought:
Why pretend to be a snail? Aunt Zhang Hong should have picked someone and placed them before her.
...
And next, it was Zhou Tianyu’s moment.
Aunt Zhang Hong wasn’t lying; she arranged plenty of opportunities for young men from their village to shine.
But whether showing his face was useful... this Aunt Zhang Hong couldn’t demand.
With so many people gazing warmly from the stage and below, Zhou Tianyu felt his feet lightweight.
Looking again at the cash on the table, he couldn’t help but think: No wonder mom and dad insisted on me coming back, Song Tan, the boss here, seems young yet quite generous.
He thought sourly, still more generous than his previous company.
Otherwise, should he consider finding something to do here?
But this is the countryside! This thought circled in his mind briefly, then lightly drifted away, and he soon refocused on the business at hand:
"Thank our farm employees for their sweat and endeavors, and thank all the comrades attending for their trust and support."
"Now, I’ll announce—today’s prize quiz first place goes to: Liang Jing!"
"16 contests, guessed the first place 8 times, second place 2 times, third place 2 times! Total prize money 3000 yuan!"
"Congratulations, Liang Jing!"
Liang Jing had anticipated her high ranking but was still a bit incredulous about clinching first place:
"Me?! Ah, it’s really me!"
Looking at the host with a smiling face and dimpled cheeks on stage, feeling they appeared extraordinarily gleeful.
As she spoke, she shook Chen Yuan’s coarse hands with both hands, her eyebrows full of smiles: "Thanks to you! When are you on vacation? I’ll treat you to a big meal!"
Heavens! Three thousand yuan! That’s three thousand yuan! Her monthly salary is only 4000!
And it’s not earned laboriously, purely won from games and watching competitions, absolutely a windfall from heaven! This thrill contrasts starkly with earning labor-derived wages!
As she watched the announcement of the second place on stage happily, she couldn’t resist pulling out her phone eagerly editing Moments, all busy and bustling.
Meanwhile, Chen Yuan glanced at his freshly released hand, struggling to suppress the corners of his mouth—
He didn’t quite dare imagine what future they would have, after all, she’s from a proper institutional unit.
But, reaching this point, having someone express interest this way, it indeed made him feel quite confident and joyful inside.
Seeing Liang Jing grapple with forming a photo grid and temporarily exit, he softly asked:
"There were several agility contests I hinted at, why did you firmly bet on his being in the top three?"
Liang Jing glanced at him.
For some reason, this look made Chen Yuan inexplicably nervous, his sweat-dampened back tensed.
Liang Jing snorted: "You’re so capable, performing so well, earning me so much prize money. It’s not that you didn’t try hard in the agility part. Naturally, I couldn’t shift to someone else over mere hundreds of yuan."
After pausing, her face turned a bit red, then spoke firmly: "I’m very loyal. Mainly, I wanted you to know, even if you don’t win, you wouldn’t be easily abandoned."
Upon finishing this, a silence settled between them.
Chen Yuan hadn’t intended to dwell on this.
The matchmaking scene—he openly wanted to showcase himself. Finding a girlfriend would be great, not finding one was still normal.
Revealing to Liang Jing indeed was due to having goodwill for her initiative.
Aunt Zhang Hong also said everyone was mostly here for fun, fostering connections. Despite limited village ties, many girls had friends—if it didn’t work now, perhaps next time?
With prizes ahead, hearing 200, 300 doesn’t sound much, accumulating over a few items, there could be eight hundred or thousand.
Giving up seems easy.
Yet, readily grasping and winning this prize without hurting anyone, Liang Jing resolutely stuck by him.
He didn’t know how to respond, but this feeling of being persistently chosen truly made his heart tingles, gazing at her intently.
He didn’t speak, nor did Liang Jing, merely holding her phone, fingers scrolling back and forth, APP entering and exiting.
It wasn’t that Chen Yuan intended to watch, facing each other, her bowed head uninterestedly, he lowered his gaze catching a glimpse.
Chen Yuan turned aside.
After a while, he suddenly asked quietly: "Among the afternoon’s mini-games, for darts and hide-and-seek, would you still choose me?"
...
The matchmaking buzz was broadcast live to Qiaoqiao by Wu Lan, she didn’t think it’s unworthy of discussion due to young age, merely commented delightedly:
"Qiaoqiao, I reckon your security guard brother and that girl have potential!"
Also mentioning Song Tan: "When will you build that house? Without settling a home for the employees, it feels awkward to discuss relationships, if the matchmaking fails, it’s all on you."
Song Tan: ...She’s merely an ordinary little farm owner, now dabbling in the declining real estate, what more?
"Even if they bought, it’s just town housing..."
Truth be told, Yun City remains rather unpromising, why is it an eighteenth-line small city?
With these outsiders, buying houses seems neither necessary in the city nor appealing in the town.
After all, looking at Lun Chuan, Song Tan adeptly shifted the blame:
"All because my dad wasn’t ambitious, why didn’t he buy some land or mountains in the Imperial City back then!"
