Chapter 51 -48 Understanding the Auntie, Becoming the Auntie, Surpassing the Auntie!

[Wow, the banquet is starting! Rural feasts are really delicious!]

[Does this mean they can finally have a good meal today?]

[Not just today, but for the next twelve days they finally get to enjoy a good meal hahaha!]

Since it was a wedding, the bride and bridesmaids would certainly be wearing full makeup. Han Qianyi was somewhat worried that if she went, she would be overshadowed by the beauty of the bride and bridesmaids.

After all, she was aiming to be a big star; how could she let mere ordinary people steal the spotlight in her live broadcast?

She must make sure all the attention of the netizens is on her!

Han Qianyi’s eyes shimmered as she glanced towards Chen Xixi’s room across the way.

She pondered what the chances were of being turned down if she asked Chen Xixi to borrow some makeup.

Chen Xixi had already lied about not using makeup to avoid sharing her products with her, and when she freeloaded some makeup, she was reluctant to tell Han Qianyi how she got them for free.

Moreover, if she was to borrow makeup from Chen Xixi, Chen Xixi would probably be on guard in case she surpassed her in terms of beauty and secured the most popular vote, snatching away the chance to sign with Nanxing Entertainment.

All things considered, her chances of being rejected were over ninety percent.

Then she wouldn’t go and let Chen Xixi humiliate her.

However… she could choose to approach the matter in a less obvious way.

Chunxiang Hotel.

Chen Xixi was the first to arrive after hearing the announcement.

Because she was all too familiar with the process of attending banquets.

In the village, if you don’t get there early to secure a spot, you might end up with nowhere to sit.

The decoration inside the rural hotel wasn’t as luxurious as those in the city center, with the walls around being just plain white, devoid of any design.

Colored balloons and red streamers hung on the walls; besides the ordinary walls, the overall atmosphere was still quite festive.

Chen Xixi had just walked in and casually picked a spot to sit. Soon after, the area around her was filled up with aunties.

“Aiyo! Whose daughter is that, looking so pretty! Even prettier than the bride!”

The auntie sitting next to Chen Xixi, who had just finished praising her beauty, was now looking towards the entrance.

Chen Xixi heard this and curiously glanced over, spotting Han Qianyi.

Just as she was about to look away, something struck her as odd.

She took a second, more careful look.

Wasn’t the shade of lipstick Han Qianyi was using somehow familiar?

Hadn’t she studied this color when she applied for a free makeup trial and wrote a product review?

She had a vague memory of it, but not much since she had written reviews for more than just one lipstick shade, so her recollections were a bit muddled.

Moreover, she was unsure if Han Qianyi had her own lipstick.

Chen Xixi wasn’t interested in Han Qianyi’s beauty, so she withdrew her gaze and focused on waiting for the banquet to start.

But the aunties beside her were quite interested, remarking how beautiful Han Qianyi was, commenting on her fair skin and pretty lipstick color.

The other three male guests arrived relatively late, making it just ten minutes before ten.

By the time they arrived, the hotel was already bustling. The village chief was popular and had many connections with the villagers, so as soon as they entered the hotel, they saw it packed with people, almost impossible to find a seat.

Initially, the village chief wanted to reserve a separate table for them to show respect, but the idea was rejected by the program’s chief director.

The show aimed to be grounded and relatable, so there was absolutely no need for any special treatment.

Now, with the economic downturn, this cost-saving variety show was essentially trying to convey the idea that living a grounded lifestyle, being a little stingy and freeloading, and planning to live frugally isn’t something shameful.

Saving money is just another way to pursue a high-quality life; it’s nothing to be ashamed of.

Furthermore, we hope that guests with unique characteristics can provide netizens with some new money-saving life hacks.

Of course, entertainment is the main focus. Seriously popularizing these money-saving principles and tricks probably won’t appeal to many young people.

Hence the scene we have now.

When Jin Cheng arrived, he initially wanted to sit at Chen Xixi’s table, but it was filled with older ladies, and while there was a vacancy at a table full of older gentlemen, Jin Cheng didn’t want to sit with the elderly, finding them too fussy.

In the end, he chose to sit at the kids’ table.

Wan Chen hesitated for a moment before deciding to sit at the next table, which was occupied by middle-aged ladies averaging around fifty to sixty years old.

Zheng He, who arrived in a hurry, asked a waiter for a plastic stool, forcibly squeezing himself next to Wan Chen.

“When are we starting? Why isn’t the food being served? I’m starving!” From the moment he sat down, Zheng He began to grumble, “Didn’t they say to come over at ten? It’s already half past ten, why isn’t the food served yet?”

Clearly, he was a banquet newbie.

Ten minutes shy of eleven, the waiters finally started serving the dishes one after another.

Zheng He, eyeing the pig’s head meat on the table, was almost emitting green light from his eyes. He swallowed his saliva, looking around desperately, “Where are the chopsticks? Why aren’t there any chopsticks?”

An older lady beside him wondered if this kid hadn’t eaten meat in many days, craving it so intensely.

She kindly said, “The chopsticks will be brought over when we start the banquet!”

[Zheng He is totally me, I was exactly like this at my last banquet, no difference at all…]

[It’s clear Zheng He hasn’t really experienced rural banquets. They’re not handing out chopsticks now because they’re worried everyone will just start eating voraciously without listening to the emcee. Once the emcee finishes speaking, the chopsticks will arrive.]

Han Qianyi, sitting at another table with the older ladies, listened to the emcee while clapping heartily and maintaining a dignified, graceful smile, her expression management perfectly executed.

It almost gave you the illusion that she was attending the Oscar awards ceremony.

However… as she was smiling, she suddenly felt a bizarre itching sensation around her mouth, not too prominent, so she didn’t pay much attention.

Finally, after the emcee concluded his spiel, the room erupted with warm applause and the chopsticks were distributed at the same time.

Yet, the next second, Han Qianyi’s expression management almost broke down.

And it wasn’t just her, Wan Chen and Zheng He also lost control of their expressions.

The moment they got their chopsticks in hand, they saw the older ladies at their tables whip out several plastic bags from somewhere, and they began scooping up entire untouched platters of dishes into their bags with a snap.

It didn’t take long for the battle at the tables to end, leaving behind only empty dishes.

Zheng He’s brand-new chopsticks had hardly gotten to work before they seemed to face redundancy.

“!!!” What’s going on! It’s over before it even started??

They hadn’t even begun eating!

The scene at Chen Xixi’s table was different, however.

Before the chopsticks even arrived, Chen Xixi took the lead by whipping out the plastic bag she had requested from the waiter upon arrival, beating the older ladies at her table to the punch!

Before the seasoned ladies could react, young and quick-handed Chen Xixi had already bagged most of the dishes on the table.

The ladies at this table were instantly oppressed by the intense energy from the younger generation!

“!!!” This is a pro!!

[Hahaha, Chen Xixi is killing me with laughter! They asked you to imitate an older lady, not to surpass them!]

[Chen Xixi is both getting eggs from the pharmacy, attending health seminars, and everywhere scrounging for free tastings, why does it feel like she’s doing the work of an older lady?]

[I always thought Chen Xixi’s behavior seemed familiar! Sitting with the older ladies, I finally know who she resembles, like a particularly frugal older lady…]

[Chen Xixi, the queen of frugality: Understand the older ladies, become the older ladies, surpass the older ladies!!]
