Chapter 27
The Finale
Along with the discussion in the live-stream, the others present also revealed envious expressions.
Although there were B-list celebrities and executives who earned tens of thousands of dollars a month here, no one could fork out a few million dollars just to buy a gift.
Of course, Chen Che and Lin Xi were not envious.
Lin Xi had never pursued material things. No matter how shiny the ring, it was just an accessory in her eyes. If she had it, she would like it. If she didn’t, she wouldn’t feel uncomfortable or upset over it.
Chen Che did not care. He would be a billionaire in a year. What was a gift costing a few million dollars?
At that time, as long as Lin Xi liked it, he could buy better ones!
Moreover, in Chen Che’s opinion, with Li Wei’s assets and connections, how could he have the funds to buy it, and how could he be qualified to enter a private auction?
All of this was clearly controlled by Luo Yuelin.
To put it bluntly, Luo Yuelin’s group had violated the rules because the production team had requested that female guests were not allowed to interfere.
Unfortunately, there was no evidence. Even if he knew, he could only stay silent and not expose it.
Luo Yuelin had expected this reaction from both online and offline. She smiled smugly.
At this moment, Li Wei introduced, “Looks like someone has already recognized it. That’s right, I’m holding the Eternal Love that has been discussed online recently!”
“It’s true that this ring is expensive, but what I like is not its value, but its meaning.”
“As the name suggests, Eternal Love symbolizes long-lasting love between a man and a woman. I believe that Yuelin and I will grow old together.”
“Not only that, this ring is the last work of the famous master Jeff. It’s the only one in the world. This represents my unique love for her.”
As he spoke, Li Wei knelt on one knee and presented the ring with both hands. “Yuelin, do you like this gift? Let me put it on for you, okay?”
Luo Yuelin happily stretched out her hand. “I like it, of course I like it. It fits the theme of this event very well. To me, this is the most meaningful gift!”
As the two of them showed off their expensive dog food, the live-stream started discussing fervently again.
[Sigh, the world of the rich can’t be compared!]
[That’s right. I’m so envious!]
[If my husband could give me such a gift, I would probably be so happy that I wouldn’t sleep for a few nights!]
[Speaking of which, Li Wei really knows how to curry favor. After saying this, he’s definitely going to win over this fair, rich, and beautiful woman!]
[That’s right, that’s right. A few million dollars is not a small sum, but after marrying Luo Yuelin, the money he’ll have access to is more than a few million dollars.]
[How can a businessman make a loss on purpose?]
…
Soon, the gemstone ring was on Luo Yuelin’s hand. It matched her slender fingers very well.
She flipped it up and down. Her intention to show off was too obvious.
“Aiya, I knew I shouldn’t be the first to appear. How can others compete with such a meaningful gift?”
At this moment, Luo Yuelin spoke again in a strange tone.
Her hidden meaning was that a group of poor people were not worthy of competing with her.
The expressions of the teams who understood her meaning changed, and dissatisfaction rose in their hearts.
Chen Che did not think much of it. In his heart, his gift was the best. It was priceless!
Besides, the ultimate goal of this theme was to move his girlfriend and make her feel that it was the most meaningful. It was not measured by price.
Sensing that the atmosphere was a little strange, the host hurriedly said, “Thank you, Team 5, for giving us a good start. Such a gift is indeed extraordinary!”
“Alright, let’s welcome the next group!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a fat bespectacled man stood up.
According to the information, this person’s name was Wei Xiaochuan. He was a gaming otaku. Ever since he graduated, he had been playing games at home. His family background was average.
His girlfriend’s name was Zou Yun, and she was his university classmate.
After graduation, Zou Yun entered a prestigious company in Jiangshi City and became an executive in just a few years. She had a domineering personality.
The employees never dreamed that Zou Yun would find such a boyfriend.
Therefore, the background and identities of this group were also not compatible, similar to Lin Xi and Chen Che’s situation.
However, it was hard to say if Zou Yun was like Lin Xi. Whether it was purely because of love or if she deliberately participated in the show to attract attention, it was still hard to say.
Under everyone’s gaze, Wei Xiaochuan took out a poster from his bag.
Seeing this, the staff hurriedly went forward to help spread it out.
At this moment, Wei Xiaochuan introduced seriously, “This is the popular Team AT in the Alliance. Everyone’s signature is on the poster.”
“Zou Yun is usually very busy with work, but I know that she likes to watch game live broadcasts in her spare time and likes this team. I asked many gaming experts to be able to get this.”
Although this gift was not as valuable as Eternal Love, it was not difficult to see that Wei Xiaochuan was thoughtful.
When Zou Yun saw this, she was also touched and covered her mouth with her hands. Tears welled up in her eyes.
After introducing the gift to everyone, Wei Xiaochuan looked at Zou Yun affectionately.
“Actually, I’ve been preparing this gift for a long time and haven’t been able to find a suitable opportunity to give it to you. I’ll use this opportunity to give it to you in public. I hope you like it.”
“I like it. Thank you, Xiaochuan!” Zou Yun nodded repeatedly and finally could not help but cry.
Wei Xiaochuan hurriedly wiped Zou Yun’s tears with a tissue. “I know that we’ve been questioned a lot when we were together, and I also know that I’m not worthy of you now, but please believe me. I’ll definitely succeed.”
When Zou Yun heard this, she stood up and hugged Wei Xiaochuan. “I don’t care what others think. Everyone has the right to pursue their dreams. I believe that you will become a popular gaming expert!”
“Go ahead and pursue your dreams. Even if you run out of money, I’ll support you!”
...
As soon as these words were spoken, the male compatriots in the live-stream were instantly in an uproar. They were crazily envious and expressed that they also wanted such a girlfriend.
Chen Che and Lin Xi looked at each other and smiled. They seemed to see themselves in these two people.
This also meant that Wei Xiaochuan and Zou Yun were truly in love.
However, unlike them, Chen Che did not need Lin Xi to take care of him. In a year, he wanted everyone to see him in a different light!
After hugging for a while, the two of them separated. They looked at the envy on the Internet and gave their blessings. Both of them revealed happy smiles.
At this moment, the host said, “How touching. How many votes can such a meaningful gift get? Let’s wait and see in a short while!”
“Alright, let’s welcome the third group!”
Just like that, under the direction of the host, the event moved on in an orderly manner.
The gifts for the next few groups were houses, cars, and so on. They were slightly cliché, and the Internet was filled with cold words, causing the few groups of contestants to be in a bad mood.
Soon, it was Fang Weixun and Zheng Hui’s turn.
Only then did Chen Che realize that his group was the finale.
...
It was obvious that the program was doing this on purpose. After all, what had Chen Che prepared? The netizens had great expectations.
Lin Xi also realized this. She sighed and whispered, “We’re the finale.”
Lin Xi did not care what Chen Che gave her, but she was afraid that the gift Chen Che prepared would not be recognized by everyone and would definitely be criticized.
