Chapter 257: Chapter 257 I Hope It’s… 10000 Years! Chapter 257: Chapter 257 I Hope It’s… 10000 Years! Amidst the music, the second male guest made a dazzling entrance.
As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, the entire audience let out a long “Ohhhhh!” in unison.
Truth be told, the second male guest was quite handsome, with his shaggy hair and earrings, casually dressed, and seemingly young. Overall, he had a lot going for him, but what was with the non-stop cold sweat and shaking legs?
“First time on stage, huh?” Meng Fei teased with a smile beside him, “Don’t be nervous, look how enthusiastic the audience is. This isn’t a horror movie set, what are you so afraid of?”
“I, I’ll try my best!” The young man took a deep breath, then bowed to Wang Hao, to the host, and then to the entire audience before beginning his self-introduction, “Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Shiming, a local from Zhonghang, and I’m twenty-seven years old this year.”
The audience clapped, with many murmuring amongst themselves, “This male guest is handsome!” “Such a good-looking young man!” “Yeah, he’s high-quality!” “This is going to be fun to watch!”
“Handsome and quite polite,” Wang Hao commented with a smile, “Don’t be so tense, see, it’s all good. Come on, pick the woman of your dreams. All the female guests here are beautiful, taking any of them out would be like having a goddess by your side!”
No help for it, Brother Hao just had such a discerning eye!
The female guests on stage began to blush coyly, “Oh my, you’re making it sound too good…”
Meng Fei quickly handed over the tablet to Jiang Shiming, “First pick one, then we’ll talk.”
Jiang Shiming took the tablet, fiddled with it for a moment, then took a careful look at the screen and at the female guests on site before making his choice. It was clear he had his eye on someone before he even arrived.
“Alright,” Meng Fei took back the tablet and announced, “Jiang Shiming has finished making his selection. Now, let’s see what the twenty-four female guests think of him. Please consider!”
No sooner had he finished speaking than the female guests looked at Jiang Shiming, and five seconds later…
“Ohhhhh!” the audience exclaimed in surprise, “Not even one light went out!”
“This show is interesting,” Sun Miaoyun chuckled to Zheng Qitian, “Mr. Zheng, do you think you could achieve the same effect if you went up there?”
Zheng Qitian laughed and shook his head, “I’m too old for this. If I went up there, all the lights would go out, haha!”
Wei Ming remarked sarcastically, “They must be shills. I don’t believe that the second guy didn’t have a single light go out!”
“Haha, looks like our show is off to a great start,” Meng Fei laughed, “Congratulations, you’re the first male guest on our show to not have a single light go out in the first round!”
“Perhaps a reward is in order,” considering the situation, a reward is a must! Wang Hao added with a laugh, “If you successfully pair up, our show team might consider sponsoring an overseas honeymoon for you.”
The audience went wild, “Wow! Maldives!” “Bali Island!” “The Eiffel Tower in France!”
Jiang Shiming hurriedly bowed, “Thank you, hosts, thank you, Teacher Wang Hao! Is this true?!”
“Right,” Wang Hao chuckled mischievously, with a hint of cockiness in his tone, “In this show, my word is law!”
The audience cheered, “Brother Hao is mighty!”
At that moment, Meng Fei looked over at the twenty-four female guests, “Number seventeen.”
Number seventeen female guest said, “Jiang Shiming, right? Over here, let me ask you, why were you so nervous when you came on stage?”
Jiang Shiming glanced at Wang Hao cautiously and explained, “The previous guest’s face took quite a beating, and my VCR segment was filmed a bit exaggeratedly. That’s why I was scared…”
The audience burst into collective laughter, “This guy is hilarious!” “He’s scared of getting his face smacked!”
Even Zheng Qitian was caught between laughter and tears, “That’s some psychological shadow for you, heh.”
Jiang Shiming’s comment made even Wang Hao feel a bit embarrassed, “Isn’t that a bit too fake, huh? Actually, our show’s main requirement is sincerity, ‘sincerity moves the heart.’ We can’t indulge those who deliberately come to cause trouble.”
“I am sincere, very sincere!” Jiang Shiming hastened to say, “I fell for her the first time I saw her!”
“Ohhhhh!” The audience gasped in amazement. He came prepared!
The female guests on stage whispered among themselves, “This guy looks quite handsome, I wonder who he’s here for!”
“It seems that the female guests all have a pretty good impression of Jiang Shiming,” Meng Fei laughed. “Let’s take a look at the first video, the basic profile.”
Soon, the big screen on stage began to play a short film.
Jiang Shiming appeared on the big screen, waving to everyone: “Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Shiming, and I am twenty-seven years old. I was born in a relatively wealthy family, so I’m pretty well-off financially. I started entrepreneurship during my university days, beginning with a catering company right outside the University’s gate, investing about seven hundred thousand, and I made my money back in half a year. In the following six months, I earned my first Porsche. Now I am running two companies, with an annual income of about three million…”
“Wow!” the crowd exclaimed below: “A second-generation rich, that’s a second-generation rich!”
“This rich kid has a good head for business!”
“Impressive, my dude!”
The audience below buzzed with discussion, and the rich kid, Jiang Shiming on the screen, promptly pleaded with Wang Hao: “Brother Hao, please have mercy on my face!” Instantly, everyone broke into laughter!
“Hahaha! This guy is funny!” The audience couldn’t contain their laughter: “He’s scared!”
Wang Hao was speechless: “Am I that scary…”
“Don’t be afraid, actually Brother Hao is very approachable,” Meng Fei smiled and reassured the male guest. “Alright, now let’s play the second video.”
Soon the second video started playing— “My Emotional Experience”.
Jiang Shiming in the big screen slowly said, “I’ve had two relationships before. The first was my first love, and at that time, she was like a princess from a fairy tale, beautiful and lovely, but unfortunately, she contracted lupus later on— the so-called ‘beauty disease’. In the end, she didn’t make it and passed away. So now, every Tomb-Sweeping Festival I go to visit her grave to chat with her…”
As the video played this part, many of the girls below had red eyes—
“It’s just too touching, this handsome guy is amazing!”
“I really want to go up there and comfort him, if a handsome guy like that pursued me, I would definitely agree!”
Even Sun Xiuyun sitting beside Zheng Qitian was wiping her eyes non-stop with tissues.
As for the twenty-four female guests on stage, many of them were crying so much that their makeup started running!
“My second emotional experience is very straightforward,” Jiang Shiming said. “There was a girl who liked me, but later on we just didn’t get along. She always held a grudge about me going to the grave every Tomb-Sweeping Festival, so in the end, we broke up. My only request is for the girl I like to agree to this, that’s my only wish…”
After this video was played, all the women in the audience were stirred up, and many shouted, “Go for it, Jiang Shiming, we support you!”
Meng Fei quickly comforted him, “You see, what’s in the past is in the past. With so many nice girls here, you’re certainly not here for nothing!”
Next was the third video, and after it finished playing, all twenty-four lights on stage were still on!
“Congratulations, Jiang Shiming,” Wang Hao smiled. “So far, you’ve achieved our show’s first unanimous approval! Now, I can formally announce that you can come forward and take back the lady you like!”
All the audience shouted together, “Yes, take her back!” “Together! Together!”
Jiang Shiming still couldn’t quite believe it: “Really?”
“Really,” Wang Hao smiled. “My word counts!”
Jiang Shiming immediately jogged over, took the hand of the female guest number eight, and the two returned to the center of the stage together!
“Congratulations to the two of you!” Wang Hao stood up, leading the applause!
The entire studio erupted in thunderous applause!
“Love isn’t easy to come by,” Wang Hao said to them with a smile. “One might only encounter true love once in a lifetime, so I hope you both cherish it. I’d very much like to put a time limit on your love— I hope it’s… ten thousand years!”
“Thank you, Brother Hao!” Jiang Shiming was almost moved to tears, and the female guest had already cried her eyes out!
