Chapter 147: Outstanding

Xia Xi was distraught and in her panic she started to cry. “Sister Zhi, it’s all my fault. I should have been the one to pass the thumb drive to Chief Han personally. But Bai Weiwei said that she wanted to look at the information again and I passed the thumb drive to her. Although Bai Weiwei usually bullies people, she’s still the host of this show. It affects us all if we were to succeed or fail… I didn’t think that she would do something like this!”

Nan Zhi already understood roughly what had happened. She consoled Xia Xi as she patted her shoulders lightly. “Don’t be afraid. We are alive while the information is dead. Others may depend on computers, but I can depend on my memory. We can still do this.”

Xia Xi widened her tear-filled eyes as she looked at Nan Zhi in disbelief. “Sister Zhi, you memorized everything?”

Nan Zhi gave her a small smile and nodded. “Something like that.”

…

While huddled in a group with Nan Yao, Zhuang Jingjing and Yu Xiaoting were gloating as they felt that they would surely win. There was no way Delicacywould get any sponsors. They didn’t even have a presentation!

Nan Yao curled her lips into a triumphant sneer. Brother Shaoxiu had sent over a manager from the Bo Corporation to support her show. Nan Zhi could wait her turn to both envy her and be laughed at by everyone there!

…

In the VIP private balcony.

Mu Sihan raised his straight eyebrows wordlessly as he took in the noisy hall and the blank screen. His handsome face darkened without any temperature. “The presentation got switched out by someone?”

Lan Yanzhi was amazed by Mu Sihan’s quick analysis. He nodded in agreement. “Most likely. I didn’t think that Miss Nan’s workplace would be such a scheming place. What will she do? What a shame, she’s going to lose before they even get a chance to fight!”

Mu Sihan’s dark black orbs moved to Nan Zhi. Unlike the crying girl next to her, she appeared calm and unruffled.

In contrast to Lin Wanyue, Nan Zhi had not dressed professionally at all. She was wearing a soft green dress with her long hair was tied back into a casual ponytail. Without meaning to, her aura was one that was both lovely and refreshing, like a university student who had only just graduated from school. The smile on her face was soft and sincere, with an innate ability to warm the hearts of all of those around her.

Nan Zhi took the microphone from Han Mo. Walking to the center of the stage, she gave the audience a slight bow and graced them with a wide smile that touched her eyes. “Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Delicacy Wins The World! I’m your host for today, Nan Zhi. Our attentive friends may have realized that we don’t have an opening advertisement short film. Neither do we have a powerpoint slide. It’s not that we didn’t prepare them, but to show everyone the creativity and sincerity of our show, I will personally bring you all into the heart of our brilliant gourmet banquet!”

“First of all, I would like to thank the 32 sponsors who have gathered here for our showcase. To get started, we have the grapefruit mask that you use if you want to become pretty and fair; the green group that brings you a healthy takeout option that isn’t afraid of not being loved, even in the cold; a gingko nut drink that will make your limbs more agile and your brain more dexterous; S520 to decrease the distance between your goddess and yourself; the traveling app where my mother is no longer afraid of me losing my way…”

Nan Yao, Zhuang Jingjing, Yu Xiaoting and a few others were still waiting in eager anticipation for Nan Zhi to embarrass herself on stage. They were still gloating when Nan Zhi’s clear and accurate introduction managed to capture the attention of all of the sponsors present and praise them within the shortest time possible. Their jaws dropped to the ground in shock.

“Oh my god, Nan Zhi’s natural stage instinct is too fast. Did she come up with those lines on the spot? How did she manage to remember all of the sponsors’ names within such a short time frame? Oh my god, she’s so scary.” Zhuang Jingjing could not help but exclaim softly.

Nan Yao’s expression changed again. Her eyes turned red as her fingernails dug into her palm. Never had she wanted to tear Nan Zhi into pieces so badly.

How did she do it?

She should not be able to! Even Lin Wanyue was not able to do it as naturally as she did!

Hosting was an art that required natural talent. -/ As Nan Zhi stood on the stage with a sincere and sweet smile, her words flowed clear and smooth and her gaze and actions were infectious and engaging. Not only that, she was smart and humorous, knowing how to gauge the response of the audience and keep them guessing. She even cleverly incorporated an interaction segment that brought the audience together with her, drawing them in to the show’s climax.

Food was clearly her passion and her knowledge shone when she spoke. Through evocative words she was able to create vivid images and senses from her descriptions alone, so strong there were even people who salivated out of their mouths on the spot!

“Miss Nan is awesome! I always thought she was just a pretty vase with no use whatsoever!” Lan Yanzhi smacked his lips as he pictured the succulent meal Nan Zhi had described. He seemed to understand a little more, why Mu Sihan was interested in this Miss Nan!

From the moment Nan Zhi stood upon the stage, she seemed to glow from within and bring out an inner radiance that was charismatic and genuine. Whether it was the way she spoke or from her graceful movements, she exuded a unique and irresistible charm that captivated the hearts of the audience in the most meaningful way.
