Chapter 675: I Am Lady Ivy
Everyone comforted Ivy, promising to inform her immediately the next time they saw the old lady.
"Ivy, don't cry. I will help you find her," Alexander embraced Ivy tightly and said to the steamed bun shop owner, "Aren't you planning to hold a big eating competition? I have decided to sponsor you!"
"What? Sponsorship? Are you being serious?" the shop owner asked.
"Of course, I'm serious!" Alexander said earnestly. "I hope to expand the scale of the competition, increasing the number of participants from 20 to 50. The first prize amount will be raised from one hundred thousand to one million, the second prize amount will be raised from ten thousand to one hundred thousand, and instead of a hundred buns, the third prize will be ten thousand cash."
"Ah, are these prize amounts too high?" the shop owner hesitated and asked, not entirely trusting. "Are you really sponsoring me?"
If Alexander really sponsored the entire event, then he wouldn't have anything to worry about. The money would be spent by others, but the profit would be his. Why wouldn't he do it?
Alexander wrote a check for the shop owner. "This one million is a deposit. After the competition ends, we will settle the remaining amount."
The shop owner was incredibly incredulous, even though he held the check in his hand, he still felt like it wasn't real.
One million! How many buns would he have to sell to earn one million?
"Why are you doing this? Why are you sponsoring me?" the shop owner asked.
Alexander said seriously, "For my mother-in-law!"
"..." No one could understand.
Alexander explained, "Hasn't she not eaten meat buns in a long time? If we expand the competition, we can entice her to participate. As long as she appears at your shop, we have a chance to bring her back home. Also, let's establish seven encouragement awards. Anyone who receives an encouragement award can eat free buns at your shop for a month. What do you think?"
"Sure, it's good. If you say it's good, then it's good," the shop owner happily put away the check.
Originally, he was planning to hold the big eating competition himself, with a prize amount of over a hundred thousand, all funded from his own pocket.
Now, someone has already given him one million in advance. Even if they don't sponsor him later, it is still extremely profitable. As long as he gains popularity, he won't have to worry about business being slow!
"Husband, you've thought of everything!" Ivy said, moved to tears.
However, she worried that Scarlett might not want to participate in the competition due to her appearance, so she added one more condition.
She said to the shop owner, "Boss, could you please advertise again? Anyone who participates in the big eating competition will have the opportunity to receive an autographed photo of the female lead from 'Snake Love.' Those who win a prize will also have the chance to meet the divine healer. This divine healer can cure all kinds of difficult illnesses, bring people back from the brink of death, treat any disfigurements, and even reverse aging."
"Is it true or false?" the shop owner was skeptical.
"It's true. Just go ahead and advertise!" Ivy said firmly.
After all, Bluey was her own sister, so it wouldn't be difficult to get a few autographed photos. And as for the so-called divine healer, it was herself. What was so difficult about meeting her once?
"Okay, I will advertise right away!"
The boss of the steamed bun shop picked up his phone and shook it, saying, "After all, I have more than five hundred fans. I'm going to make a short video for promotion now."
Speaking of short videos, Ivy suddenly remembered that she also had a short video account.
She immediately opened her short video account to see how many new fans she had gained.
Not looking was fine, but once she looked, her eyes widened.
Since registering her account, she had only posted one short video, the one of the blue-spotted snake dancing. Unexpectedly, overnight, her fans suddenly increased to over one million.
Familiar music started playing, and the boss of the steamed bun shop curiously looked over.
"Huh, a dancing snake? This snake is called Ruby. It's become quite famous. Its owner is Madame Ivy. I watched this video dozens of times last night. Do you also like this snake?"
"I am Madame Ivy!" Ivy smiled lightly and thought that the blue-spotted snake also had a big appetite, so she said, "Why not let my Ruby participate in the eating contest too?"
