451: Selection site
Xiao Xiao gently lifted the hem of her dress, elegantly turned around, and re-examined her image in the mirror.
The dark blue evening gown perfectly showcased her figure and temperament, and the earrings added a touch of splendor.
"A goddess, a true goddess!" Xiao Xiao muttered to herself.
Leaving the room, she took the elevator to the Rose Restaurant on the top floor.
The moment the doors of the restaurant opened, everyone present turned to look, and the You Family's eldest young master, You Tianjiao, even stood up directly.
"Miss Xiao Xiao, you are truly beautiful," You Tianjiao said, walking over with a hint of ardor in his eyes.
Xiao Xiao paid no mind to You Tianjiao's fervent gaze.
She nodded slightly, acknowledging You Tianjiao, then elegantly walked to the table reserved for her in the restaurant.
The restaurant had been cleared and transformed into a selection stage.
Besides Xiao Xiao, there were nearly fifty other beautiful women, all tall and exquisitely gorgeous.
They stood or sat, gathered together, whispering amongst themselves.
The entire venue had only a few staff members, and besides You Tianjiao, there were several other young men in their twenties sitting in the stands opposite.
Ever since Xiao Xiao appeared, their eyes occasionally darted over to her.
"Brother Tianjiao, where did you find such a beautiful girl?" a young man asked in a low voice, naturally referring to Xiao Xiao.
His gaze constantly flickered towards Xiao Xiao, his eyes gleaming with undisguised admiration and desire.
You Tianjiao's face showed a smug smile upon hearing this.
He did not directly answer the young man's question, but instead said mysteriously, "She's mine.
Tonight, no one is to fight me for her."
As soon as he finished speaking, another young man couldn't help but ask, "Then tomorrow, will tomorrow be okay?"
"Yes, yes, yes, tomorrow, or the day after will do too," the others echoed.
You Tianjiao looked at their impatient expressions and chuckled smugly, "Just wait.
Later, when you score, remember to give her full marks."
"Naturally, naturally."
As they spoke, the entire restaurant dimmed, the lights becoming somewhat ambiguous, and on the stage, rows of spotlights illuminated it brightly.
Xiao Xiao's lips curled into a cold smile.
She spread her hand, and nano-camera flying insects were released from her palm.
Such matters naturally required evidence; once filmed, she would first show it to his father, You Suowei.
A host in a formal gown stepped onto the stage, and the selection for You's Group's spokesperson officially began.
With the host's appearance, the atmosphere of the entire restaurant instantly became tense.
You Tianjiao and his friends also reined in their smiles, focusing on the stage.
On stage, the host enthusiastically introduced the rules and procedures of the selection, while the beauties below eagerly prepared to showcase their talents and charm.
The initial procedures were quite normal: talent shows, self-introductions, and so on, with one person after another taking the stage.
Sitting below, Xiao Xiao felt a bit bored.
Had she misjudged?
An hour and a half later, all the male staff left, leaving only You Tianjiao and this group of young masters as judges below the stage.
Xiao Xiao, along with the other beauties, was called to the changing room.
Inside, there were rows and rows of lingerie, all of it rather suggestive, available for free selection.
The next segment was a body display.
The host, also a woman, promised in the changing room that upon going on stage and striking poses as per the judges' requests, a labor fee of 100,000 points would immediately be credited upon leaving the stage.
Most of the girls in the changing room were there for the money, and before the person could finish speaking, they began changing into the required clothes.
The following scene was somewhat indescribable.
The girls went on stage one by one, displaying themselves under the bright lights.
The eyes of the twenty-something judges were practically on fire.
The entire process was recorded by Xiao Xiao.
Another hour passed, and the female host rushed into the changing room, seeing Xiao Xiao had changed into a hoodie and long pants, and immediately became displeased.
"What's wrong with you? Who told you to bring your regular clothes in to change?
Hurry up and change; it's almost your turn.
The eldest young master specifically arranged for you to be the finale."
Xiao Xiao pulled down a set of clothes and said, "You see for yourself, with so little fabric, what's the difference between wearing it and not wearing it?"
"Don't you understand? This segment is called a body display.
Do you know what a body display is?
How can you display anything if you're completely covered?"
Xiao Xiao's lips curved into a disdainful smile.
She threw the clothes in her hand aside and said, "I'll just go on stage like this."
Before the female host could stop her, Xiao Xiao walked straight out.
The group of people below eagerly waited for the grand finale, but when they saw Xiao Xiao walk onto the stage wearing a hoodie, all the young masters' faces darkened.
With Xiao Xiao's appearance, the atmosphere in the entire restaurant instantly turned bizarre.
She was dressed in a hoodie and long pants, forming a stark contrast to the other girls around her who were wearing revealing lingerie.
The expectant gazes of the young masters below had now turned into confusion and anger.
You Tianjiao sat below, his brows deeply furrowed as he looked at Xiao Xiao's attire.
He had expected Xiao Xiao to follow his arrangement and go on stage in revealing lingerie, never imagining she would make such a move.
This made him feel both angry and embarrassed.
The female host was also stunned.
She hadn't expected Xiao Xiao to so boldly defy the arrangement.
She quickly walked to the edge of the stage, trying to signal Xiao Xiao to step down with her eyes, but Xiao Xiao acted as if she hadn't noticed, walking straight to the center of the stage.
You Tianjiao spoke up, "Beautiful Xiao Xiao, what's wrong?
Did you not find clothes you liked?"
Xiao Xiao smiled calmly and said, "No, I'm just not used to it; there are too many people."
Her voice was clear and pleasant, yet it made everyone below feel something was amiss.
You Tianjiao's eyes turned cold, and he asked again, "Since you're already here, you're being a real spoilsport.
Strip now, and I can let bygones be bygones."
Xiao Xiao chuckled softly and said, "Okay, come forward."
You Tianjiao's face showed a mischievous smile as he said, "You want me to help you, right?
Hehe, I'm very happy to serve in such matters, and I'm very good at it too."
The young masters below laughed and said, "Brother, I'm good at it too.
If you don't want to go, I can go in your place."
"Stay put down there.
I can handle it myself."
As You Tianjiao spoke, he stood up and walked towards the stage.
The moment he stepped onto the stage, he reached out, ready to embrace the beauty's delicate body.
Suddenly, You Tianjiao felt his body stiffen, as if he had been immobilized, unable to move.
The young master's heart immediately sank.
The one who could immobilize him must be an Ability User.
Ten years ago, most Ability Users below second rank had their abilities eliminated.
Those whose abilities were not eliminated were strictly restricted by the Space Administration.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead; he might have gotten himself into big trouble.
"Yiming, come in and close the net!"
