Chapter 1197 The Popularity of the Livestream
The old woman said happily, "My granddaughter is very obedient and patient. She does embroidery very well. Look, the clothes I'm wearing were embroidered by her."
Madam Qin looked at it and said, "It is indeed well embroidered, very outstanding."
The old woman asked, "Did your granddaughter-in-law embroider it for you?"
Madam Qin shook her head: "She has only been learning for a few months and is usually busy, so how could she possibly embroider a finished product? But knowing her as I do, if she could embroider, she would definitely embroider it for me."
The old woman seemed not to have heard what she said before, focusing instead on the word "several months," and exclaimed in surprise, "You've only been learning for a few months and you're already participating in a competition?"
Madam Qin praised her highly: "Yes, my granddaughter-in-law is very talented, quick to understand, and has a strong learning ability. Although she has only been studying for a few months, her foundation is already quite good."
The old woman suddenly understood: "No wonder you praised her so much, saying she's so outstanding."
Madam Qin smiled broadly: "Excellent is a given."
The old woman sighed and said hopefully, "I hope my grandson can find a wonderful girl to marry in the future."
Madam Qin comforted her, "It will definitely happen."
While they were chatting, the contestants were also embroidering non-stop. In a short time, some of the quickest contestants had already embroidered the outline of the butterfly, including Shen Xuening.
Shen Xuening is very focused when she's working. At this moment, her attention is entirely on the embroidery, and she is completely unaware of what's happening in the outside world.
Judges' Panel —
"The girl in the second seat of the second row is good. She embroiders quickly and well. There are really a lot of promising talents this time."
"That girl looks familiar."
"She looks familiar... wait, isn't she that... that blogger?"
Which blogger?
"That farming blogger has hundreds of millions of followers, and the products in her online store are all very good. I've bought from her."
"Yes, yes, that's her. I never expected that she could also embroider. She's so talented, it's really surprising."
"..."
Besides the judges, many other people also recognized Shen Xuening. After all, Shen Xuening is really popular online. Except for those who don't use the internet much, it can be said that almost all young people know her.
Cultural Palace Live Broadcast Room —
Look! Our blogger! Our blogger has actually come to participate in the embroidery competition!
[Haha, I thought the blogger was joking, but it turns out it's real! This is an embroidery competition! The blogger seems to have only been learning for a few months, right?]
[It's rare to see the blogger again; you're still so beautiful!]
Our blogger is truly multi-talented! So young, yet seems to know everything. When will I be as capable as her?
[Help! Our blogger's hands are so skillful! The butterfly embroidery is amazing! I wonder if there's an online poll? I want to vote for my blogger!]
【…】
The live stream room seemed to be run by Shen Xuening herself, with comments flying everywhere, all expressing their attention to Shen Xuening.
The staff quickly noticed this unusual phenomenon.
"I originally thought it was someone with the same name, but I didn't expect it to be my favorite blogger. I definitely have to go get her autograph later."
"Oh my god, it really is Shen Mujin! I didn't expect her to participate in the competition. Are bloggers all this obsessed these days?"
"What kind of competition is this? I haven't seen any other bloggers participating. Our bloggers are truly talented."
"Yes, yes, our blogger is amazing. I like her more and more now."
"I really thought it was just someone with the same name. Even when I saw the photo, I thought it looked familiar. I never expected it to be the real person. It's the real person!"
"Let's go get her autograph together later, this is a rare opportunity..."
"..."
The workspace was buzzing with excitement.
Shen Family——
Looking at Shen Xuening in the live stream, Liu Juan said to Shen Dong with relief, "Our daughter is truly capable of everything. Having such a daughter, I have no regrets in this life."
Shen Dong immediately said, "That's my daughter too. I'm proud of her, and I have no regrets."
Shen Baohong said, "Xue Ning is participating in the competition now, why are you saying these things?"
Liu Juan chuckled and patted Shen Baohong on the shoulder: "Isn't this just something I felt compelled to say? Don't tell Xue Ning about this, okay?"
Shen Baohong couldn't possibly go against his third aunt's wishes: "I know, I know, we know about your embarrassing situations."
Liu Juan asked, "Did Xue Ning tell you when she's coming back?"
Shen Baohong shook his head and advised, "She didn't say, but she must have made arrangements. Don't worry about it."
Liu Juan corrected: "It's not about controlling, it's about caring."
Shen Baohong said, "I know you care about Xue Ning, but she has her own plans. We just need to follow her instructions."
Liu Juan nodded: "I understand."
Shen Dong said, "Let's not talk about anything else. Look at the butterfly that Ningning embroidered. It looks just like the one in the picture. The more similar it is, the higher the score, right?"
Shen Baohong said, "Of course, the ranking is based on scores."
Shen Dong chuckled and said, "Judging from the current situation, Ningning will definitely be among the top students. We can just wait to celebrate, hehe."
Shen Baohong then asked, "Judging from Xue Ning's current performance, her ranking is definitely in the bag. How are you planning to celebrate?"
“This…” Shen Dong hesitated and looked at Liu Juan, “I haven’t decided yet, but we will definitely celebrate. I’ll ask Ningning then and see what she thinks.”
Shen Baohong said, "Let's wait until Xue Ning comes back before we talk about it."
More and more people came to the live stream to watch Shen Xuening's embroidery. Later on, it seemed like the live stream was really just for Shen Xuening.
Live broadcast room——
[The blogger is awesome! The blogger is awesome...]
[This blogger is number one in embroidery, number one in embroidery, number one in embroidery!]
[Unconditional support for the blogger! Keep it up, blogger! Your talent and beauty are unparalleled! You're amazing!]
Qin Zizhou took out his phone, ready to check the live stream. Every time Shen Xuening did a live stream, the room was packed with viewers. He wondered how it would be this time.
However, things did not disappoint him at all. The live stream had more than a million viewers. You know, there were only tens of thousands of viewers yesterday. The increase of so many viewers today shows Shen Xuening's popularity.
A smile gradually spread across Qin Zizhou's handsome face. He then showed his phone to Grandpa Qin: "Grandpa, look, our Xue Ning is amazing, look at her popularity..."
Upon seeing this, Old Master Qin immediately laughed: "Yes, look at this influence, even I, an old man, am amazed."
Qin Zizhou said proudly, "Grandpa, do you admit I have good judgment?"
"Admit it." Old Master Qin patted Qin Zizhou on the shoulder. "The best thing you ever did in your life was marrying Xue Ning and winning the heart of such an outstanding girl."
Qin Zizhou was quite pleased to hear this: "I also think this is the best thing I've ever done in my life."
Tu Yue was also watching the live stream. After seeing those comments, she was shocked to realize Shen Xuening's power. A blogger with hundreds of millions of followers should not be underestimated.
She thought to herself: "Hundreds of millions of fans is amazing. If I asked her to help promote my hotel, wouldn't it become incredibly popular?"
Wait, didn't Xue Ning invite me to travel to her place before?
Once this is over, I really should go out and see the world.
Shen Xuening's image in Tu Yue's mind had risen to a whole new level; she could only look up to her in awe.
The competition went very smoothly, and before we knew it, it was noon.
The nanny had already brought the food over. When it was time to eat, Qin Zizhou took the food and walked towards Shen Xuening: "Xuening, it's time to eat."
As the staff member was about to hand the boxed lunch to Shen Xuening, they said, "Sir, we have prepared lunch for you here."
Qin Zizhou refused outright: "You guys eat yourselves, we'll eat what we prepared ourselves."
Looking at Qin Zizhou's noble and outstanding face, the staff member stammered, "Well, okay then."
Shen Xuening put down the embroidery needle, crossed her hands, rubbed her fingers, and moved her arms: "My arms are stiff."
As Qin Zizhou served Shen Xuening the groceries, he said with concern, "I'll run you some hot water when we get home so you can take a nice bath."
Shen Xuening raised the corners of her lips: "Then I'll trouble you."
“Taking care of your wife is a man’s duty, it’s not hard work.” Qin Zizhou emphasized his identity, though heaven knows how much he liked it.
Shen Xuening's smile deepened: "Let's eat together."
"Okay." Qin Zizhou placed the six dishes one by one on the small table in front of Shen Xuening, scooped rice into a bowl, and handed it to Shen Xuening. "These are all your favorites, so eat up."
Shen Xuening was about to pick up her chopsticks when she suddenly thought of the two people: "Where are Grandpa and Grandma?"
Qin Zizhou said, "They'll go back to eat, and then they'll take a nap. They've been sitting here all morning, and their bodies might not be able to take it."
Shen Xuening nodded: "Tell Grandpa and Grandma to take care of their health. I'm just participating in the competition; it's not like I'm doing anything important."
"I understand," Qin Zizhou replied obediently.
Gong Li turned around and said enviously, "It's so nice to be married. Someone comes to deliver meals. I wonder when I'll get that kind of treatment?"
"When the time is right, it will come naturally," Shen Xuening smiled. "Would you like to come and eat with us?"
Gong Li shook her head and joked, "No, this is a loving lunch. Would it be a shame if I joined in?"
Shen Xuening smiled helplessly: "There are so many people here, what kind of atmosphere is this? Come over if you want to eat. There's so much, the two of us can't finish it all."
Gong Li chuckled and said, "Then I shall respectfully accept your offer."
Shen Xuening smiled and said, "Come on over."
The moment the food entered her mouth, Gong Li felt like she had been elevated: "Who made this food? It's so delicious! I've never eaten such delicious food before, it's amazing!"
Although they came to G City, the ingredients were still provided by Shen Xuening's side, and with the family chef being so skilled, the food they made was naturally unparalleled.
Shen Xuening said, "Eat more if you like."
Gong Li nodded repeatedly, no longer wanting to speak. She wanted to eat more rice and vegetables; they were so delicious.
Not only did she find it delicious, but the aroma of the food made everyone around her swallow hard, completely unable to control themselves. If they weren't so well-mannered, they would have begged for the food.
Shen Xuening and Qin Zizhou were used to it, and they ate slowly and elegantly.
This was the first time Gong Li had ever eaten such delicious food. In comparison, he devoured it, and what he thought would be an unfinished meal was finished in the end.
Looking at the empty plates, Gong Li asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Are you all full?"
Shen Xuening and Qin Zizhou had already put down their chopsticks, and it was Gong Li who ate the rest. Shen Xuening replied, "We're full. We don't have big appetites."
Gong Libo smiled sheepishly: "The food was so delicious that I couldn't help but eat more. You won't mind, will you?"
Shen Xuening certainly wouldn't mind; wasting food is what's annoying: "No, it's a good thing that you can eat your food and not waste it."
Gong Li was slightly relieved: "Hello everyone."
Qin Zizhou cleared away the bowls and chopsticks: "Xue Ning, you continue the competition. I'll take these plates back and bring you some water."
Shen Xuening nodded: "Okay, drive carefully."
Qin Zizhou took the things and left.
Gong Li looked at Qin Zizhou's back and said enviously, "You're so lucky to have married such a good husband. I envy you so much. When will I be able to meet someone like that?"
Shen Xuening said, "When the time is right, you'll find your match. Don't rush it, and don't just look for anyone."
Gong Li quickly replied, "How could I just find anyone? If I did, I definitely wouldn't be single now."
Shen Xuening said, "That's good."
Seeing that others had already continued embroidering, Gong Li said, "President Shen, let's hurry up and start embroidering too, we can't fall behind."
"Okay." Shen Xuening went to the restroom and came back to continue the competition.
More than an hour later, Qin Zizhou returned, brought Shen Xuening some water, and then sat back down in the audience, gazing at that beautiful figure as if he couldn't get enough of her.
At this moment, Shen Xuening had already embroidered three-fifths of the colorful butterflies, and they already looked somewhat lifelike. This progress left most people behind.
Judges' Panel —
"What a pleasant surprise! It seems there are a lot of promising talents this time. There's more than one in this batch."
"That boy is quite good. He has completed about three-fifths of the embroidery, and his embroidery skills seem to be even more outstanding. It seems that many things are not divided by gender, but only by whether one is willing to do them."
“You’re right. Girls can do things that boys can do, and boys can do things that girls can do.”
"I don't know who that male contestant learned from, but his embroidery technique and workmanship are both excellent."
"I've been keeping an eye on that boy. After all, there are very few boys who can do embroidery. I didn't expect him to disappoint me at all. He's actually very good at it."
"..."
The judges were all drawn to Chi Hong, not only because he was a man, but also because his embroidery was outstanding.
Chi Hong was very nervous at this moment. He didn't dare to look at the other embroidery pieces, fearing that his embroidery would be poor and that his gender would make him even more looked down upon.
Regardless, I've tried my best, and now it's up to fate what happens.
Thinking of this, Chi Hong took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it.
Every stitch, every second—all the participants took it seriously. This competition wasn't just about seeing their own level; they also wanted to broaden their horizons. They knew that working in isolation would only lead to regression, while a wider perspective would lead to progress.
