The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 242 Discrimination
"Why, the gymnasium is so big and not all of it belongs to your family."

If it doesn't make sense, then do it directly.

It is not easy for dozens of new troops to kill this man and drive him away.

direct violence.

They are all big girls, and what the Propaganda Department is most afraid of is that they will be harassed by those gangsters when they get here.Jiashan is so big, there must be some gangsters.

Otherwise, it wouldn't cost a lot of money to hire [-] veterans to be bodyguards.

Inviting everyone can save a lot of trouble.

"It's gone."

The girl participating in the competition was very puzzled. She had only been promoted for three seconds by the Propaganda Department. She still had many tricks that she had not yet used.She can sing folk songs with a clear, melodious and distinctive voice.

But this is the first round of primaries, and only looks and body shape are considered.

No matter how talented you are, those with average looks may be eliminated.

Although people with talent will be selected, this is partly a beauty contest after all, and it won't work without beauty.It's like the operation of a brothel and a boat, only more formal and on a larger scale.

Therefore, being beautiful has been an advantage since ancient times, and God rewards food.

If you want to succeed, you have to put in extra efforts, and maybe even no matter how hard you work, it’s not the right direction.

The talent competition is in full swing.

Two voices emerged, one supporting and the other opposing, believing that grandstanding was bad for morals and the competition should be banned.

But Jiashan will not ban it.

Everything has already started, hotels and gymnasiums have been negotiated, and countless ladies have rushed to several competition areas to start the preliminary rounds.

If the game is suspended at this time, the loss may be quite a lot.

The Propaganda Department will lose a lot, and the local economy will also suffer some losses.

This talent competition will last for two or three months. It has only been a few days since it started, but the local economy has been boosted a lot.

And the Propaganda Department let it out that this competition is still an international event, and overseas people are welcome to participate actively. They also agree to the participation of foreigners, and they will be treated the same as Chinese people.

Since then, foreigners have actually come to participate in competitions in Shanghai.

Chinese people are relatively reserved, but foreigners are different and can bring some different ideas.

Let this competition be richer.

A large part of the visitors are local students from Jiashan.

Mainly college students.

The percentage of college students is very small.

It’s not enough for college students to take part in the talent show in such a large proportion. All people from all walks of life must participate.

The first round is not difficult, as long as you look good.

"Dad, my eldest brother is going to marry his sister-in-law. It will cost a lot of money for the bride price and the banquet. We are short of money. I have thought about it and participated in the talent competition. Maybe I can bring my sister-in-law back."

"Brother is capable, but our family has too many sisters, which drags him down."

Rural areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

It's not easy for a family of seven or eight people to rely on digging in the fields for food.

The boss has no money to marry a wife.

But the age has come again.

His father really found him a free woman.

It still costs a fortune.

There has to be a banquet, otherwise the village will gossip, and both my family will lose face, and the woman’s family will lose face too.

People these days care most about a good reputation. If their reputation is bad, they can't lift their heads up in the village.

But even so, they couldn't get enough money for banquets and new clothes.

After the new daughter-in-law came in, she wanted to live in the new house.

The old father was very worried.

"what match?"

Her daughter is also a middle school student, so she naturally knows about the talent competition.

But his father was a farmer and didn't know there was such a thing.

The daughter explained to her father again that as long as she won the ranking, she would get 1000 yuan.

"Can this be done? Those things are done by girls in the city."

Her father seemed to be half-informed, but he still felt that this matter was unreliable.

"Don't think about it, just read your book carefully."

Rural people are more afraid of some unknown things.

"Wedding banquet, new clothes and quilts. You can't do it for a few yuan, at least dozens of yuan. Or even hundreds of yuan."

The old father became more and more worried as he talked.

Not to mention anything else, just a new dress costs two yuan.

These are ordinary clothes. If they are high-end and fashionable, they will cost more than ten yuan each. Those are clothes that people in the city will wear.

"I made an appointment with my classmates to participate in the competition in two days. As long as I advance, I will get ten yuan. If I rank in the top 1000, I will get [-] yuan."

She made up her mind to give it a try, even if it didn't work.

People are short of money these days, so news of talent competitions spreads, and more and more women begin to participate in talent competitions.

The next day, the woman took her classmates to the Jiashan Gymnasium.

"Look over there, they're so beautiful."

It turned out to be some women from Shanghai's dance halls.

They are all rushing to be in the top ten.

Bonuses are always changing and basically increasing.

No. 1 already has [-], and the top ten all have [-].There are one thousand in the first hundred.As long as you pass the preliminary examination, you will get ten yuan.

With so much money, who wouldn't be greedy.

Naturally, the talent contest also spread to Shanghai.

Many Shanghainese women came to Jiashan.

These courtesans have a high self-esteem. They believe in their own strength and charm. It is not easy to surpass these Jiashan women with their beauty.

Indeed, the Jiashan woman felt a little ashamed after seeing the Shanghai socialite.

There is no comparison at all.

The clothes are not fashionable enough, and the skin is not white enough.

The key is the temperament.

"Why do I feel that those girls are prettier than the girls in school? No, they are prettier than the ones in the newspapers."

It was so fashionable that they instantly felt more beautiful than the stars in the movie.

All of a sudden, my confidence was greatly lost, and I didn't know if I could still fight with them.

If the opponents are like this, then there is no chance at all.

I was very worried.

"It's all here, let's try it, anyway, we don't want to compete for the top ten."

In their minds, as long as they pass the preliminary test, that's all.

Even if you can't get ten yuan, it doesn't matter, you have fought for it anyway.

It's better to get it, this money is too important to the family.

It's about whether her eldest brother can get a wife.It would be better to get 1000 yuan.

If he couldn't get the bonus, his family would have to borrow money again.

Originally, my family was in debt, and since I was in middle school, my family had less labor force.

The situation at home is not very good.

After she graduates, she will look for a job in Jiaxin.

In rural areas, basically every family is borrowing money. When someone comes to do something, the villagers will stick to that family first.

Several Shanghai girls entered the gym.

The Propaganda Department's eyes lit up.They are all well-known socialites from Shanghai who are involved in upper-class activities, and now they have arrived in Jiashan.

The goal is to be in the top ten.

"Shanghai people really came."

These few are too outstanding and seem out of place with some of the people around them.

That's right, after hanging out in dance halls all year round, it looks different. Being a social butterfly is not that simple. You must have talent.

These five were just put on makeup.

The makeup skills are very good.You know, this woman.

Completely two people after makeup and makeup removal.

But at this time, the make-up technique was not so powerful, and there was no such thing as a face-changing technique.

But it is true that the beauty has been improved by several points.

"Okay, next one."

"Pass."

"Pass."

The Propaganda Department directly gave these five Shanghai girls a try.

All were given ten dollars.

Maybe other women care about these ten dollars, but these Shanghai women don't particularly care.

Even when they were on the beach, in the dance hall, there might be people who spent a lot of money on them.

What they focus on is the bonus for the top ten.Especially the first 8000 yuan.Then there's the reputation.

The newspapers in Shanghai and so on are all talking about this matter. Apart from the war, this is the only thing.

Also, they vaguely knew about the strength of the Propaganda Department and knew that he was related to several directors in Shanghai.

They are relatively unknown artists and want to join the publicity department through this competition.

It would be the best thing to not only get a bonus but also build a relationship with the Propaganda Department.

Shanghai women, after hearing what the Propaganda Department said, felt calm and were rushing to be among the top ten. If they couldn't pass the first test, they would never come to Jiashan again.

I looked at the women around me, and there was no one who could beat me.

Maybe there are many who are as beautiful as them, but they can't dress up.

"It's our turn."

The girl was still very nervous.

The five Shanghai women in front of her put too much pressure on her.

He was quite confident about his appearance, but he was hit hard.

I was thinking about what to do if I came here for nothing.

What about the marriage between elder brother and sister-in-law? It can't just be delayed like this.

She heard that the talent pageant was for both talent and appearance, so she gained a little more confidence. She read a lot of books and thought that her intelligence was no worse than anyone else.

Some nervously walked to the front.

"Congratulations, you've made the cut. Participate in the second round in a month."

The Propaganda Department gave it to her directly.

"It's over."

She also froze in place.

The Propaganda Department gave her ten yuan.

She looked at the ten dollars inside.

"thanks, thanks."

"Okay, you go down. Remember to come back and compete again in a month. Next one."

Move on to the next one.

Watching dozens or hundreds of people every day is quite a workload.

Sometimes there are even more than a thousand people, and this number is still increasing.They are mainly from Jiashan.

Two days ago, I was just a person from Jiashan.

In the past two days, more and more women from outside Jiashan have come to the Jiashan Gymnasium.

Even if their ideas don't advance, it's good to see the world.

What new style of women is popular now.

after awhile.

Several women came to the gym.

That battle was huge.

All of them are blond and blue-eyed, and they are foreigners at a glance.

Exotic and beautiful.

But the aesthetics are different, Chinese people are more accepting of women from their own country.

No matter how beautiful these foreigners are, some people will find them a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that there were so many foreigners, everyone in the gym was shocked. They were shocked by the strength of the Propaganda Department and how it had such a good relationship with foreigners to allow foreigners to participate.

These days it seems that anyone who knows foreigners is awesome.

It will still be like this even in the future.

If there is a foreigner in a company, even if the foreigner doesn't understand anything, it seems that he thinks it is awesome.

The five Shanghai women were a little emotionally unstable.

Suddenly, several European and American women came, with fair skin, beauty and long legs, and I felt a lot of pressure.

The same goes for Jiashan women.

I feel that if I can defeat them in the competition, it will be considered as a glory.

Without exception, these five European and American women were promoted by the Propaganda Department.

This person was brought over by foreigners who cooperated with Runtu.

No one who was brought here could not be seen.

In the primary election, the requirements of the Propaganda Department are low enough.

Those who looked good were promoted by him.

The people around me were thinking that the Propaganda Department was not a fool.

One person's promotion is worth ten yuan, and these 1 people are worth one hundred thousand. What a waste of money.

I don't understand how rich people think.

David: "The women in Jiashan are very beautiful. For example, the one just now is very good."

"David, it's best not to have other ideas. We don't care what you do in Shanghai, but you can't bring what you did there to Jiashan."

The director of the Propaganda Department hurriedly talked to David.

This is no small problem.

If David makes a mistake or does something bad, he will have to take responsibility for it, and the talent competition will definitely not go on.

Quickly talk to David and ask him to get rid of these inappropriate thoughts.

"Just a little joke."

David looked at the attitude of the Propaganda Department and knew how to deal with it.

Soon, today's task will be completed.

The woman received a bonus of ten dollars and returned home.

"Dad, I'm back and promoted. Look at this."

She gave it to her father like a treasure.

"Dad, I will still be promoted. When the time comes, my eldest brother can pick up my sister-in-law and we won't have to borrow money from others."

Her father took the money tremblingly, feeling a little excited. It was not easy to get ten yuan.

"Father is incompetent, and the baby is suffering."

Seeing the ten dollars, he smiled slightly.

It is not easy to manage a large family.

Wife died.

There is a paralyzed old father above, and there are four children below. Fortunately, the eldest baby can help him now, so he is not so tired.

"With this money, I will go to my in-laws' place to propose marriage tomorrow."

His eldest son is very capable, if not for the poor family, he would have been able to find a wife long ago.

But even if she is so poor, there are still many people who are very optimistic about her elder brother, and there are many people who are willing to say goodbye to her elder brother.

"In a month, I will go to the competition. If I can advance again, I will get a few hundred yuan, 1000 yuan. Then our family will be in a better situation."

The top [-] people in the Jiashan competition area will get a thousand, and she thinks she can give it a try.

And she knew that the second round of the competition would involve a talent show, and it would not just rely on appearance. She was good at reciting poems and lyrics.

In this talent competition, some people are doing it for fame, but more are doing it for money.Jiashan is slightly better, but making money in Jiaxin is not easy either.
