Chapter 10
“What? How is that possible?” Ji Yao looked at the orange in the auntie’s hand in disbelief. There was really a little green worm inside. It looked so disgusting.
“Then… then I’ll refund this orange for you?”
“Refund for just one? I don’t want this whole box anymore.” The person in front of her waved his hand and said.
“Me too!”
“Me too!!” The crowd was furious, looking like they were about to tear down the stall.
“Wait, wait!” Meng Fei squeezed into the crowd and shouted, “What’s with the noise!”
Everyone quietened down, not because they were intimidated, but because they were wondering what this girl was going to say.
“What’s wrong with our oranges? How can oranges not be sour? Oranges that are a little sour are good oranges. Look at the packaging, this color,” she continued. She took out an orange, peeled it, and stuffed it into her mouth. “So what if it’s a little sour… Blargh!”
“Hahaha, you can’t even eat it yourself, yet you’re still selling it. Pfft!” The spectators burst into laughter. At this moment, the comments in the bullet screen were mocking Meng Fei as well.
Ji Yao glared at Meng Fei and could only smile stiffly as she refunded them, one by one.
So after a busy morning, they hadn’t even sold anything? No, they had sold the reputation of being black-hearted merchants.
They returned the goods and looked at the girls on the other side. She looked shy and quiet and was also selling oranges.
“Brother, sister, do you want to take a look? All our oranges are the freshest. We just picked them not long ago. The price is fair and affordable. The pile on the left is sweeter, and the one on the right is a little sour,” Gu Xiao said to these people with a smile.
Gu Xiao smiled warmly and sincerely, making people involuntarily want to believe her. Hence, they all gradually gathered around her.
Seeing this, An Yang and Chen Li quickly peeled a considerable number of oranges for the people to try.
“How sweet!”
“This is the first time I’ve eaten such a fresh and sweet orange!”
“What’s the price?”
An Yang hurriedly replied, “The pile on the left is five yuan a catty, and the one on the right is three yuan a catty.”
Cheap! Such a sweet orange was even cheaper than those in the other stall, that only looked good on the outside but were bad in quality!
In an instant, there were more and more customers. It was not only the pile of better-quality oranges, but because Gu Xiao and the others had thrown away those oranges were bad in quality, everyone could also accept those sour oranges. In an instant, the situation changed drastically. Gu Xiao’s group had made a lot of money, and Ji Yao’s group had indeed lost everything.
“It’s Gu Xiao again!!” Ji Yao was so angry that her face turned red, and Lin Xue looked at her in confusion.
“Who can you blame if you lose? Ji Yao, it was you who didn’t do well this time. There’s no need to drag Gu Xiao into the matter, right? It wasn’t Gu Xiao’s idea either. What’s wrong with her doing her own thing?”
“Lin Xue, don’t forget your mission,” Ji Yao said coldly. “The Ji family can give you the chance to enroll in the school, but we can also make you drop out of school.”
Lin Xue clenched her fists, but there was nothing she could do.
The director’s expression was also extremely ugly. Originally, he had deliberately distributed the oranges in Ji Yao’s group and specially added more good ones. However, they were disappointing and did not use their brains at all. They did not even want the victory that was delivered right to them. Moreover, Meng Fei had said such disgusting words.
The reputation of the city group was ruined!
The bullet screen was in an uproar. They despised Meng Fei’s actions and were full of praise for Gu Xiao’s group. Some of the comments on the bullet screen even had words like “Meng Fei, get out of the show” and “Meng Fei, don’t come and harm others”, which made An Yang gain a large number of fans.
At this point, the orange-selling competition ended in a complete victory for the rural group.
The program was already halfway through.
On the way back, Gu Xiao noticed that Ji Yao’s expression was very ugly. She was probably angry because she had lost to her again, but this kind of incompetence and anger had no effect on Gu Xiao. She was just a clown.
Gu Xiao was now worried about something else. In her previous life, because they had listened to the director’s arrangements, Ji Yao and the others had won as they wished. Therefore, the next segment—individual question and answer—was the turning point for Gu Xiao and the others to become “village girls.”
As the name implied, a personal question and answer was when the director separated them and pulled them into a small room one by one to ask questions and guide them to answer the questions in certain ways.
In her previous life, because of the director’s guidance, Gu Xiao and the rest had said a lot of arrogant and vain words. Coupled with the fact that they had done things according to the script in the previous few episodes, it had completely ignited the anger of the netizens. More and more people were cursing them online, so in the end, the situation had gone completely out of control.
