Chapter 171: Initial Impressions Announced

“Hello, everyone in the live stream, I’m Jiang Mi, your live-streaming host for today!”

Jiang Mi, in her new role, greeted everyone with a sense of ceremony. Seeing that Gu Chuan hadn’t immediately responded, she nudged the man standing beside her.

Gu Chuan pressed his lips together and spoke, “I’m the host Gu Chuan.”

Jiang Mi playfully teased Gu Chuan, “Mr. Gu, we’re doing a live sales broadcast now; why don’t you smile a bit?”

Gu Chuan, with a serious face, replied, “This is my live-streaming style.”

Jiang Mi: “…….” He really knows how to play his part.

After a brief introduction, Jiang Mi began to present the products for the live sales.

“Today, all of us guests have been working in the orange grove on the mountain. Many of you have seen that the oranges are freshly picked and particularly juicy.”

As Jiang Mi made this introduction, Gu Chuan demonstrated an orange to the camera, showing it off with a 360-degree spin. However, with his stern expression, it looked more like he was reviewing documents at a desk—both serious and amusing.

[Haha, Mr. Chuan is so serious; it makes me want to laugh.]

[Seeing Mr. Gu showcase this orange, its value suddenly seems to go up a lot.]

Unlike the romance variety show, where guests couldn’t see the comments, during the live sales, they could see real-time comments appearing on their screens.

Jiang Mi glanced at the orange in Gu Chuan’s hand and noticed that its perceived value did seem to increase significantly.

“Shanyao Village is located in a subtropical climate zone, with mild winters, ample rainfall, warm and humid conditions, and large temperature differences between day and night—ideal for growing oranges.”

“Under such a climate, the oranges are both high-yield and high-quality. Each orange is bright yellow, with a particularly strong aroma. The sugar and vitamin C content are also significantly higher. The fruit is plump and juicy, with each bite filled with fresh orange flavor…”

As Jiang Mi described, Gu Chuan casually fed her a slice of orange.

Usually, Gu Chuan often fed Jiang Mi, so it was quite natural for her to take a bite. “The fruit is tender, juicy, with a sweet and slightly tangy taste. Mmm, it’s delicious.”

She glanced up and saw a comment.

[How could anything Mr. Gu feeds taste bad?]

Jiang Mi coughed a bit, wondering what was up with the audience.

Gu Chuan immediately patted her back and handed her a cup of warm water.

After drinking a couple of sips, Jiang Mi finally stopped coughing. Then she looked at the comments.

[Ah, I’m so envious, I want Mr. Gu to feed me oranges too.]

Seeing this comment, Jiang Mi raised an eyebrow, her smile turning a bit coy and mischievous as she dragged out the last word, “Want to eat? Go home and have your husband feed you.”

[???]

[!!!]

[Ahhhh, Mi-bao, I was just joking! I don’t want that stinky Mr. Gu to feed me; I want you to feed me.]

[Wait, why does this sound so much like a wife’s sour words?]

[Based on the context, does this confirm Mr. Gu as a husband?]

[Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!]

[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!]

The screen was filled with screams, and Jiang Mi felt secretly pleased. She then continued to introduce the oranges.

“Oranges are not only delicious but also rich in potassium and vitamins, which help regulate blood pressure. They also contain volatile oils and limonene, which can relieve coughs and phlegm. Moreover, they have a lot of organic acids and dietary fiber, which enhance appetite and aid digestion.”

“Of course, for many girls, what’s most important is the high vitamin C content in oranges. As we all know, vitamin C has antioxidant properties, promotes skin microcirculation. Girls can eat an orange after meals, which is not only good for the body but also beneficial for beauty and skincare.”

As Jiang Mi meticulously explained the benefits of oranges, even the fans who had been obsessively shipping CPs quieted down and started to pay attention to her explanations.

To be honest, oranges are a very common fruit.

Everyone knows that oranges are high in vitamin C and good for the body, but how good they are, and what nutrients they contain, is something most people have only a vague idea of.

After Jiang Mi detailed it, people began to feel, strangely, that oranges, which can improve beauty, regulate blood pressure, and relieve coughs and phlegm, were such great fruits, and they were so affordable. Not buying them would be a waste!

Buy!

Buy!

Buy!

[Mimi is really professional!]

[Her introduction is more professional than that of seasoned hosts.]

[I came here to ship the Gu Mi CP, but the CP is great, and the oranges are really delicious. Forget it, I’m going to place an order.]

[Me too, me too. One orange after a meal, for beauty and skincare. Hehe, if I eat a few more, can I be as pretty as Mimi?]

[Seeing Mr. Gu’s proud little eyes, it’s like he’s broadcasting how amazing my wife is.]

[But I have to say, Sister Mi is amazing. She’s doing the hosting so well.]

Just as Jiang Mi started to introduce several ways to eat oranges, the village chief of Shanyao Village suddenly burst into the live stream room, panting.

“Miss Jiang, thank you, thank you, but there’s no need to continue selling.”

Jiang Mi was puzzled, “What do you mean?”

The village chief gasped for breath, “The village’s stock has been sold out. If you keep selling, the viewers in the live stream will start pre-ordering for next year. We’re really grateful for your help with the live sales.”

Jiang Mi was somewhat surprised. She hadn’t even covered the ten different ways to eat oranges that she had prepared, and the oranges were already sold out?

But selling out is a good thing. Jiang Mi smiled, “Congratulations. But you won’t need my help for the live sales next year. I’m sure those who bought today will be eagerly waiting for your live stream next time.”

Jiang Mi’s words affirmed the quality of Shanyao Village’s oranges.

After all, people won’t return because of star power; they’ll return because the oranges were delicious.

The village chief puffed out his chest proudly and said, “Of course, no one who’s tasted Shanyao Village’s oranges has ever said they weren’t good!”

Thus, the live broadcast segment ended very quickly—so quickly that the program’s big surprise hadn’t even been prepared yet.

The director announced with a small megaphone that the winners of the live sales were Jiang Mi and Gu Chuan.

Bai Ruoruo couldn’t help but feel sour and muttered under her breath, “How could so many oranges from one village sell out so quickly? There must be some fake orders.”

Before Jiang Mi could respond, the village chief snapped back, “What nonsense are you talking about? We saw from the backstage that buyers came from all over the place, and the quantities they bought varied. All of them are real buyers. You keep talking about fake orders—what are you up to?”

Bai Ruoruo was taken aback and muttered sulkily, “We only had two hours of training. How could Jiang Mi be so good at it? Isn’t it because…”

Although she didn’t finish her sentence, the implication was clear: she was suggesting that the program team had given Jiang Mi a heads-up about the live broadcast to let her prepare.

Before Jiang Mi could respond, Lu Yu, unable to hold back her frustration, stood up, “I’ll tell you why. While the rest of us were training hard, you were busy playing with your phone and refused to practice. Knowing you were slow-witted but not learning, and now you’re blaming others for being better. How shameless.”

Bai Ruoruo’s face turned red and pale alternately. Just as she was about to retort, Lu Yu threw in another remark, “Bai Ruoruo, is it so hard to admit Mimi’s excellence?”

Her words exposed all of Bai Ruoruo’s dark thoughts.

She was just jealous and resentful—why did Jiang Mi have a good family background, beauty, a great figure, a good man, and intelligence?

Why did all the good things seem to fall into her lap?

No matter how much Bai Ruoruo hated it, reality was that few were willing to pay her any attention.

After announcing the rankings, Jiang Mi and Gu Chuan rightfully became the sales champions, followed by Lu Yu and Fu Li, then Cheng Lin and Chen Wanruo, Yang Yang and Qin Ling, and lastly Bai Ruoruo and Mr. Fu.

After the live broadcast ended, the program team asked the guests to return and rest before coming together for Shanyao Village’s bonfire party in the evening.

The bonfire party would include dancing and the highlight of the variety show—announcing the initial impressions of the guests.
