Chapter 281 - Shady Business
The one who advanced was actually Zhang Yu, whose breathing was unstable and his voice was broken?! Wasn't this too much of a scam?!
In the long, dead silence, the entire venue was in an uproar. Su Mu's fans were all hopping around, "Host! Do you dare to show your scores?! This is definitely not real!"
"Right! Su Mu's performance was so perfect! How could he lose to Zhang Yu?! There must be some shady business!"
Even the two judges stood up. They looked at the audience and shrugged helplessly.
On the stage, Su Mu stood there motionlessly as if he had not recovered from the shock.
Zhang Yu, on the other hand, smiled smugly at him. "Kid, you don't know, right? The judges and the host are both my people!"
When Su Mu heard this, his hair stood on end. He raised his fist and was about to hit Zhang Yu, but Zhang Yu quickly covered his head and ran away!
"I'm not convinced! Number 10 just told me personally that the host and the judges are his people! I'm not convinced!" At this moment, Su Mu held the microphone and shouted.
The entire venue was in an uproar. Only Ye Qiao, with her arms crossed over her chest, sat quietly in the corner.
Hearing Su Mu's words, the fans in the venue were also in an uproar. Even the public judges had spoken, "Out of the 20 of us, at least seven of us gave Su Mu 10 points, and 10 of US gave Zhang Yu less than 7 points. How could Su Mu be eliminated in the end? This is too unreasonable! Host, in order to ensure that it's public and fair, please post all the points that everyone has given out and calculate them carefully again!"
Then, all the audience members requested that the points be made public again!
At this moment, Gu Xueyan panicked.
With so many media outlets present, the program team immediately activated their public relations emergency plan. They invited the audience to be notaries and counted the votes one by one.
After more than half an hour, the results were finally obtained.
"Su Mu's final average score was 9.2 points, while Zhang Yu's score was 8.5 points!"
F * ck!
Wasn't the difference too big?!
Hearing this result, the entire audience was in an uproar again. They were both excited and angry. What was exciting was that they had really made a mistake. What was angry was that the host had actually calculated such a huge gap! They really suspected that she had done it on purpose!
"Host, dismissed!"
Everyone protested.
Gu Xueyan's face had long turned pale. She had only been working at the television station for half a year. It was not easy for her to rely on her connections to follow this program. She had already gained some fame!
"Little Gu! What the hell is wrong with you?! How is it possible that there's such a big gap?!" The television station's director came over and said angrily to Gu Xueyan.
"Director, I'm really sorry! I miscalculated. I'm not feeling well today. I have a high fever, and I Feel Dizzy. I miscalculated, so I'll go apologize to the audience!" Gu Xueyan quickly said and went up to the stage.
"Dear audience, my friends from the media, I'm really sorry. Because I'm not feeling well today, I made a mistake in calculating the score. Please forgive me!" After saying that, Gu Xueyan bowed deeply to the audience.
Ye Qiao, who had been doing nothing, smiled and continued to watch Gu Xueyan's performance.
"Did you make a mistake? Did your geography teacher teach you math? It's not one or two points. There's a huge difference!"
"That's right! What kind of host are you? Just don't do it!"
Even though Gu Xueyan apologized, the audience was still not satisfied. They strongly protested against the dismissal of the host, Gu Xueyan!
And the segment just now had to be rerecorded!
In order to appease the audience, the station head had no choice but to let Gu Xueyan go down first and change to another veteran variety show host to save the scene!
"Sister-in-law! I really didn't do it on purpose.. I only made a mistake because I felt dizzy and uncomfortable today! It's true!" Gu Xueyan continued acting when she met Ye Qiao backstage.
