I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 358: Let Me Give Everyone a Speech

Mu Qiu’s gaze instinctively searched for Cheng Zhirang.

He stood in the "patriarch’s" position, looking at her with a gentle smile, tall and elegantly poised.

Mu Qiu quickly withdrew her gaze, took the "air microphone" from Guan Yu’s hand, exaggeratedly cleared her throat, and adapted well to this sudden segment.

"Actually—"

She first sighed, stretched her hand towards Ye Mian, then held Ye Mian’s hand, while Ye Mian held Guan Yu’s hand. The three of them stepped forward a bit and stood hand in hand.

Then, with fists formed and held to their mouths, their voices and expressions were full of emotion.

"Actually, I didn’t want to come up and speak. After all, the champion’s speech can sometimes indeed bring pressure to the other groups."

Shu Ran: "Then hurry up and come down."

Li Yang: "I couldn’t stand it after the first sentence."

Ignoring the genuine reactions from others, Mu Qiu continued to speak very emotionally: "But everyone invited me so sincerely; it seemed unreasonable not to come up, otherwise, it’s disrespectful to everyone."

Li Yang: "I’ll say on Brother Huai’s behalf—please don’t respect me."

Shi Yuhuai turned his head to look at Li Yang with a blank expression.

Li Yang tried to avoid eye contact as if he couldn’t see, but ultimately, he wasn’t as thick-skinned as some, so he rubbed his nose and coughed, appearing somewhat uneasy.

On the other hand, Mu Qiu and Guan Yu, who were so emotional they seemed about to "burst into tears," showed no awkwardness about being exposed.

"This victory actually belongs not just to us three, but to everyone. If not for everyone’s effo..."

Suddenly, tear-jerking erhu music played softly on the big screen, nearly disrupting Mu Qiu’s effort to "cry with emotion."

Others were taken aback too, then Li Yang threw his head back and laughed aloud.

"Hahaha, help! This is too timely, isn’t it?! Give the engineers a raise!"

Cheng Zhirang also smiled: "It seems we might need to give more than just the engineers a raise."

As the music started playing, staff wearing floral shorts began rolling out a red carpet from both sides, and others with bouquets forcibly handed them to Mu Qiu and the others.

Busy as ever, it made the hand-holding trio look like they were promoting water purifiers in the village, yet no one paid attention, while the villagers just waited to spend a dollar for a pot.

Mu Qiu was forced to accept a bouquet, struggled to regain her train of thought, and insisted on finishing her speech.

"If everyone hadn’t worked so hard to compete for last place, we wouldn’t have succeeded so smoothly. So we must thank our opponents.

In conclusion, our secret to winning is simple, mainly relying on—talent, and opponents underperforming, thank you all!"

After speaking, she even bowed and pretended to wipe her eyes twice.

Guan Yu was stunned: "I handed you the ’microphone’ to say a few words, not to perform a ’Touched Program’ speech."

Mu Qiu: "These are my genuine words."

"....." as you exaggeratedly praised.

She took the "microphone," and under the already very impatient and speechless gaze of Li Yang, Shu Ran, and the others, added two more sentences confidently.

"What our champion just described is our experience this time. As for what she forgot to say, let me add. As is customary, we first thank the program team—"

The director was about to be moved, then heard her continue: "And then thank my parents for giving birth to me so excellently, thank the opponents for their gracious concessions."

Finishing up, she held the fist towards Ye Mian’s mouth.

Ye Mian pondered for two seconds, and said: "Also thank my husband for being in a different group, thank everyone for eating so much roasted garlic, thank the two spies for their relentless efforts."

After the three finished, they neatly bowed together, then wiped tears, choked up, while Guan Yu exaggeratedly performed a scene of sobbing uncontrollably.

The few people standing behind, arms crossed, had equally speechless expressions on their faces.

Tang Zi: "...Is this a tradition of the program crew?"

Shu Ran: "No, as long as they aren’t given time, they can’t perform."

Shi Yuhuai: "Can we leave?"

Li Yang: "It’s indeed a bit unbearable, I can’t keep watching."

[I can’t keep watching either]

[Hahahahahahahaha so much acting!]

[Reminds me of high school speeches of ’gratitude to parents,’ crying on stage and off, then selling books like ’Are you doing enough to deserve your parents?’ Really makes my scalp tingle]

[You scared the new guests hahaha]

[Constantly wiping tears, hand down, the corners of eyes are so dry they’re almost peeling, truly acting well/dog head]

[Fu Ran is getting sleepy]

[Also thanking her husband for being in another group hahahahahaha]

[This secret of winning is truly straightforward and makes sense, mainly relying on talent and opponents not trying hard]

[Mu Qiu: I don’t want to go up and speak, don’t push me! So embarrassing! Mu Qiu: Hello everyone, I’m here to give a two-hour motivational lecture]

[Seriously, don’t give them the opportunity]

[Staff all raised their pay hahahahahaha, this coordination is too good! If Mu Qiu wasn’t startled herself, I’d think it had been rehearsed]

[Staff are in a hurry to get off work, laying out the red carpet swiftly, handing out flowers and leaving]

[Staff: Hold this flower for me, I’m off work]

[This music fits perfectly hahahahahahahaha I can’t]

[Director’s also got nerve]

[Except Brother Cheng, everyone in the back had a face saying "How annoying, I really want to pull them down and cover their mouths"]

[Didn’t expect Ye Mian to adapt so well, I thought she’d be as bewildered as Lin Xixi before hahaha]

[This scene is too funny hahahahaha, the three in front giving speeches, a row behind looking impatient enough to fall asleep]

[Lock the three of them up maybe, forget about Fu Ran]

[Be careful the big boss isn’t looking for a fight, he’s been roaming for so many years, finally got a senior student back home]

[Brother Huai with the red armband is also so handsome, worthy of being a model, even a security guard’s armband looks like a brand new shoulder patch]

[After all, security guards usually don’t have hands in pockets/dog head]

[Brother Cheng is too gentle, in this spotlight, so gentle it’s hard to find the right words to describe]

[I love Brother Cheng so much, waah waah waah waah, whenever he smiles I can’t help but look at him]

[Even when he doesn’t smile, I’m always watching him]

[Fu Ran just stared at his senior the whole time, never moved]

[I must be just a mud speck tossed by Lady Nuwa, others look like humans, I’ve no semblance at all/knocking the heavens image]

[Three women make a drama, truly the truth]

[Ancestor: Although I said this, I never imagined such a way of acting]

[I’m really going to be laughed to death by Mu Qiu and Guan Yu]

[Our dormitory building was just filled with laughter, really in unison]

[Tang Zi: I didn’t realize casually saying something could incite an impromptu speech]

[Li Yang, don’t laugh, you’ve basically been assimilated, learned to threaten the program crew by taking off your shoes]

[In the teaser, everyone was a well-behaved, quiet, timid little newbie, tut tut tut]
