Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 117 - 107: Hong Hong’s Difficult Life

The live stream audience went wild.

[Aaaaahhhh, little brother, come closer, crawl into big sister’s arms!]

[Yu Xia, you know us so well, sister!]

[Half-siblings, hahaha, yes, that’s right, it’s me.]

[Can you gift the basin away? I’d reluctantly buy it for five bucks.]

[I’ll pay ten, I’ll cover postage myself.]

[Please don’t create competition, it should sell for two bucks when the cost is five, that’s the real meaning of live streaming.]

[Let me know about this shoddy plastic basin then, if I like it, I’ll buy one or two for the royal cats to swim in.]

[What did Song Xi mean just now? Randomly mentioned Xie Qingci and Yu Xia are close, is he envious?]

[Explain, who is he envious of?]

[Song Xi seems off, the way he looks at Yu Xia is like a new bride looking at a buff guy... I mean Song Xi seems really off.]

[Hahahahahahaha what kind of weird netizens use all sorts of analogies.]

[...]

Yu Xia figured the audience was already entertained and handed one of the plastic basins to Xie Qingci, signaling him to watch.

"Learn this trick, it’s likely to sell fifty basins in two seconds!"

Xie Qingci nodded obediently.

She held the basin in her hand and smacked it with a "dong" sound.

"Friends, don’t miss it as you pass by! The Happiness Village Good Day Brigade specially crafted Double Happiness wedding face wash basin! Look at the craftsmanship! Look at the color! Look at the design! Now look at the quality..."

Another "dong" sound, but this time, the bottom of the basin cracked right open.

Cracked, it did.

She had smashed the basin just as she was about to boast about its quality.

She paused for a moment and then casually tossed aside that basin, snatching the one from Xie Qingci to continue:

"From the quality, you can tell it’s a counterfeit! This one is our authentic product, strong and durable, heat-resistant and cold-resistant, whether you wash your face with hot water or ice water, this basin can withstand it!"

This time she didn’t smack it, but carefully turned the basin over, facing the camera with the center of the basin.

"Take a look at our exquisite, handcrafted painting pattern, the blooming peony national flowers, signifying that the daughter’s marriage is blessed and beautiful!"

Xie Qingci: "...But that’s a chrysanthemum pattern."

"You’re saying I can’t tell?" She turned and glared, "I say it’s a peony, so it’s a peony, handcrafted art may have slight discrepancies, what’s wrong with that?"

He opened his mouth and said, "Not much, carry on."

Yu Xia turned back to the camera, her smile regaining its presence.

Since mentioning the handcrafted artwork, she specifically reached in to touch the pattern.

"Everyone can clearly see, it is handcrafted, so it’s rare and precious, we’ve rushed for three months to stock three hundred, limited quantity, act fast... everyone..."

Her fingernail lifted the plastic film from the basin’s bottom, peeling off half of the pattern.

Sometimes it’s just that awkward, no matter what you say, it gets instantly contradicted.

She rolled her eyes, clenching her teeth, thinking damn, what kind of lousy basin is this?!

Everyone else collapsed in their seats laughing, Wei Yaoyao’s chair even tipped over, he continued laughing from the ground.

Yu Xia chuckled dryly, forcibly lifting the corners of her mouth, then took a deep breath and started reprimanding Xie Qingci.

"What’s wrong with you, even if you don’t want to waste a sample, you can’t do this!"

Xie Qingci reacted quickly and continued, "But three hundred is a small stock, missing one means someone won’t get one, I, I can’t bear for everyone to miss out."

"Ah, your intentions are good," she gave Xie Qingci a thumbs-up, and changed her approach, tears quickly welling up, "Since everyone has seen it, we won’t hide it."

"Actually, this basin isn’t high-end, although it’s handmade by the folks of Happiness Village, it hasn’t sold much, with thousands piled up unsold in the warehouse. If it weren’t... ha, if it weren’t for Hong Hong being critically ill, we truly had no money, we wouldn’t resort to this."

Xie Qingci’s eyelid twitched.

Yu Xia, teary-eyed, glanced at the camera and spoke to herself, "Ah, you’re asking who Hong Hong is? Hong Hong is a part of our Happiness Village, he is you, me, the many unfortunate souls! At life’s end, his wish is to see us sell these thousands of face wash basins!"

Xie Qingci grudgingly echoed, "Right, Hong Hong lived a hard life."

"But illness is merciless, humanity has compassion!" Yu Xia shouted a phrase of goodwill, "To fulfill Hong Hong’s last wish, and to thank all you kind hearts, we decide! To give away the handcrafted basins, formerly priced at three hundred and eighty, at minimum price, today, right now, free! Of! Charge!"

Xie Qingci raised his tone with a "hmm" and looked at her with surprise.

She just executed two acts for free giveaways?

Yu Xia wiped her tears, her voice trembling with excitement, "It’s all true! You only need to double-tap ’666’ and send ’Yu Xia is the most beautiful’ to queue up for a three-hundred-and-eighty-dollar red wash basin!"

Xie Qingci: "..." He was still too young.

[Buy! Give me three hundred of them! Want this break-with-a-smash and peel-with-a-tear type!]

[Hahahahahahahahahah I’m gonna die laughing at Yu Xia]

[My mom told me to get out and laugh]

[This stream should be shown on a screen for the grannies in the countryside, they’d buy three thousand basins passionately in a minute]

[Some grannies might even call to ask for Hong Hong’s address to help look after him]

[Hahahahahahahaha Xie Qingci just frozen in place]

[Yu Xia you must advance into live streaming, I’ll pay for a basin just to beg you]

Yu Xia shouted until her voice was hoarse before stopping, asking Xie Qingci to bring up the other items, conveniently turning the basin upside down to sit on it boldly.

"The pants and coat combo, plus the ultimate sparkle miracle set. Be careful... damn!"

The three-hundred-and-eighty-dollar basin with a cost of five bucks broke with a sound, she sat directly on the ground, the uniquely shattered basin stuck on her thigh.

She resisted the urge to curse, squeezed out a smile, and left a post-sales comment:

"Valued three hundred and eighty basins, free giveaway, even the basin can’t take it anymore."

Wei Yaoyao laughed uproariously, slapping the floor: "Puhahahahahahahahaha!"

"I can’t take it, Yu Xia you’re too hilarious hahaha!"

"What kind of garbage basin is this, always messing up hhhh!"

"Is this the quality of a three-hundred-and-eighty-dollar basin? Even an anti-counterfeit campaign would be shocked!"

"She’s a genius salesperson! Yu Xia not going into live stream sales is a loss for e-commerce!"

"Hahahahahahahah the basin manufacturer just wants you to return the goods, refund you, and stop the live stream!"

The room was filled with roars of laughter, Yu Xia who was initially fuming found herself amusing, laughing so hard she had no strength to get up.

Still, Xie Qingci held back laughter and extended a hand to her: "Come on, get up."
