Chapter 76: Too Embarrassing
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
[I can’t take it anymore. Xia Wei is a fake fan! Xia Wei, get lost. Don’t take advantage of our God Jian’s popularity. Aren’t you being disgusting?!]
[That’s right! Isn’t this just a free question? Isn’t it too exaggerated for Xia Wei to make a mistake? I hate people who take advantage of others’ popularity and don’t do their homework seriously!]
[Xia Wei is too stupid…]
[Ditto, +1!]
[Sisters, wait a moment. Don’t be in a hurry to scold others! I think… perhaps we were all fooled by the director’s question…]
Naturally, Xia Wei did not know what was posted in the live-stream. She glanced at Xin Xin and replied casually, “Whether I’m careless or not, I’ll only know after Director Zhao announces the answer. Isn’t it a little strange that you’re in such a hurry to judge me? Also, I pressed the answer button first. It’s our group’s answer time now, right? Why are you pretending here?”
Xin Xin was naturally a little angry at Xia Wei’s retort in front of so many people. However, she was not an impulsive person. After taking a few deep breaths, she forced a smile and replied, “Yes, let’s wait and see Director Zhao’s correct answer! Don’t blame me for not reminding you in advance. It’s easy to destroy your image if you’re too blindly arrogant!”
…..
“I’ll return these words to you as they were.” Xia Wei smiled at Xin Xin and replied without any special reaction.
Xia Wei was really annoyed with Xin Xin’s habit of finding ways to find fault with her no matter what situation or what kind of matter it was. Did she think that she would not be slapped in the face every time? What disgusting bad taste was this!
Zhao Ying was quite happy to see the intense smell of gunpowder on the stage. He was afraid that the show would not have any topics and would not arouse the netizens’ interest in watching the show.
However, reality proved that he was overthinking. Putting aside the fact that there was a god-like Jian Tan in [Heartthrob TA], the number of sticky fans and audience that surged in would not be low. Even without Jian Tan, many people liked to ‘watch’ the fight between Xia Wei, Xin Xin, and An Nan!
Zhao Ying wanted the show to be popular and widely discussed, but he needed to be flexible about it. Seeing that Xia Wei and Xin Xin were already at a stalemate and the scene was a little stiff, Zhao Ying immediately laughed.
He looked at Jian Tan, who had been silent beside Xia Wei. His heart skipped a beat. When he spoke, he asked evilly, “Since Xia Wei and Xin Xin can’t get along, Mr. Jian Tan, why don’t you tell us the correct answer to this question!”
Jian Tan glanced at the smart director and chuckled without any special reaction. He replied, “If you ask me, I’ll naturally say that my team mate answered correctly! Director, you’re very cunning.”
After being teased by Jian Tan, Zhao Ying restrained his impudence slightly. He smiled and continued Jian Tan’s sentence. “Mr. Jian, you really know how to joke. Hahaha! Then, let’s announce the answer to the first question! If you answer this question correctly…”
Zhao Ying said excitedly. The production team’s cameraman was also very good at causing trouble. He turned the camera to Xin Xin and Xia Wei. When Zhao Ying said the last word, the cameraman even pushed a close-up to Xin Xin’s face, creating the atmosphere that Xin Xin was the “winner”!
However, when he announced who the real winner was, other than a small number of netizens who had seen through the loophole in this question, most of the people in the live-stream were stunned by this reversal!
“Xia Wei! In the second half of last year, at the film festival held by City A, the movie that won the audience’s favorite male actor was—’Calling’! Let us congratulate Xia Wei and Jian Tan’s team for accumulating one point first!”
Hearing the director’s answer, the surprise on Xin Xin’s face was very similar to the netizens in the live-stream. She instinctively retorted, “No! That’s not right! It’s ‘Far Mountains’…”
Zhao Ying smiled and ignored Xin Xin’s anxious retort. He only gestured for everyone to look at the television screen. It was playing a video of Jian Tan going on stage to receive the trophy!
The applause in the video was thunderous. Xin Xin and the netizens who were scolding in the live-stream just now felt their faces hurt…
This slap in the face was really ruthless. Not only did she answer the question wrongly, but she also embarrassed herself in front of so many people.
The netizens were fine. They only typed and scolded Xia Wei. Xin Xin had been slapped in the face in front of so many people.. She had lost a lot of face!
