Chapter 61 You are unkind and I am unjust

[Xu Zhao, this is too much! It’s just a game, why take it so seriously! 】

[Can’t we give way to our not-so-smart bricks? 】

[Hehe, since it’s a game, there will always be winners and losers. Can’t you afford to lose? 】

[Other variety shows allow for tricks, and everyone is happy and harmonious afterwards, so why can't this show allow that? 】

Qiao Zhijing didn't know that there was an argument in the live broadcast room about the two teams.

He only knew that since Xu Zhao said so, he would definitely do what he said.

But he was still curious, "What else did you do?" That didn't seem right, so he asked in a different way, "Who else did you cheat?"

Xu Zhao: “…”

Actually, you don't have to think about her like that...

Xu Zhao smiled slyly and said, "You'll know when the results are announced."

"I'm looking forward to it." Qiao Zhijing smiled implicitly. It seemed that besides them, there were others who were going to be unlucky.

For a second, Qiao Zhijing looked at Sun Runchen and the other person who were watching the show with a gloating expression.

Sun Runchen was chatting with Lin Yuan casually when he suddenly felt a chill on his back. He looked around in confusion and found that no one paid any attention to him.

…

The director team was very fast. Zheng Wen held a cue card in one hand and a loudspeaker in the other. "The number of yam cakes produced by each group has been counted. The results are in my hands."

Zheng Wen looked around at the six nervous people and said mysteriously, "Now let's announce the second place first."

He deliberately arranged it this way so that the other two groups would definitely expect his group to take first place.

Especially when seeing the final data, the result was both unexpected and reasonable.

After the program recording was changed from recorded broadcast to live broadcast, Zheng Wen had to take more things into consideration. He only had a pair of eyes and it was impossible for him to observe what was happening in six live broadcast rooms at the same time.

Naturally, he only had a vague idea about Xu Zhao's trick.

"Congratulations to our second place winners. They are..." Zheng Wen paused deliberately and looked around at the six people. "Who are the second place winners? They are the group of Brother Qiao and Zhuan Zhuan. Congratulations to them!"

Xu Zhao took the lead in applauding the two, "Congratulations!"

Ever since he knew that he had contributed a lot to Xu Zhao's success in deceiving Brother Qiao, Tang Qianshuo felt guilty, and when he saw Xu Zhao clapping, he immediately joined in and clapped loudly.

The emergence of the second place means that among the other two groups, someone will be first and someone will be last.

Sun Runchen was very worried. He thought he and Lin Yuan had found a lot of materials, and he had even observed the types of the other two groups.

The other two groups only had two types of yam cakes, but their group had three.

If nothing unexpected happens, their group should get first place.

"Now let's congratulate the first place," Zheng Wen held up the loudspeaker and said in a long tone, "They are..."

Sun Runchen couldn't wait to step forward and receive everyone's applause.

Just as he was about to step forward, he heard Zheng Wen's voice, "Let us congratulate Zhao Zhao and Qian Shuo for becoming the first place in this competition!"

His leg was slightly raised, but he didn't know whether to lift it up or put it down. Sun Runchen quickly clapped his hands, turned around quickly, and put his leg down.

"The third place is the group of Lin Yuan and Runchen. Unfortunately, the final result of your group is zero." Zheng Wen mentioned this deliberately. He just wanted to see Sun Runchen raise questions. This would be the turning point.

Lin Yuan: “???”

Sun Runchen: “???”

So did they work in the "Imperial Kitchen" for nothing for the entire afternoon?

Qiao Zhijing looked at Xu Zhao. He felt that the final result of Lin Yuan's group, zero, was definitely related to Xu Zhao.

Feeling the burning gaze, Xu Zhao tilted his head and looked over, meeting Qiao Zhijing's dark eyes. He saw the corners of his lips curled up and he revealed a playful smile.

"See, I told you I wouldn't let you lose too badly." Xu Zhao smiled.

Compared to the final result of zero, their second place is indeed not difficult to see.

When Qiao Zhijing thought about how Xu Zhao had made Lin Yuan's group's entire afternoon's efforts go to waste, he suddenly felt that Xu Zhao was still kind to him and did not kill them all.

The doubts Zheng Wen expected came as expected.

"Director Zheng, Sister Lin Yuan and I have been busy here for the entire afternoon. How could the final result be zero? Where did all the yam cakes we made go? I want to recalculate. No matter how we calculate, we shouldn't get zero points!"

Lin Yuan echoed, "Director, our hard work this afternoon is obvious to all in the live studio."

At this moment, he both wanted to know the truth.

Candidates taking the postgraduate entrance examination can question their scores and request a re-marking of the papers, and they can naturally also request a recalculation of the results.

"I'm going to ask you about this," Zheng Wen adjusted his glasses. "I've said before that the mold is very important. It's the key to making yam cakes. And I've also emphasized that each mold can only be verified once. Its ownership belongs to the first person who verifies it."

“But when I took the mold to verify, the screen did say ‘Verification Completed’, so the mold should belong to me!”

Sun Runchen still doesn't understand the trick.

"Strange?" Jin Suiran was an outsider again this time. She asked, "After the verification, didn't the screen show 'Successful Verification'? Why is it 'Complete Verification'?"

After Jin Suiran finished speaking, she immediately reacted, her eyes widened and she covered her mouth.

No wonder!

No wonder after she got the mold, Sister Zhaozhao asked her to verify it immediately. Only after the mold was verified, it wouldn't matter if it was stolen.

Having said that, what else could Sun Runchen not understand?

He shouted angrily: "Tang Qianshuo, you lied to me!" He completely ignored the fact that he was still broadcasting live. Although he was very angry, he did not do anything beyond the rules.

He frowned and said, "You hold the verified mold and tell me that it has not been verified. You are making us work for your team for free!" The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and his tone became higher and higher.

Tang Qianshuo imitated Xu Zhao's words to Qiao Zhijing, "Brother Runchen, you were the first to tell me our team's code, so I thought you were a teammate. Besides, you took the initiative to say that you would help me verify the mold, and I gave it to you because I believed you were my teammate. Now you are accusing me of lying to you."

"Besides, this is a variety show. You just said that variety shows are just work. Everyone does this just for the show effect. We are still friends in private."

"Heh," Sun Runchen sneered. The bullet fired a few hours ago hit his forehead so quickly.

Since you are unkind, I am naturally unjust.

Sun Runchen said loudly to Zheng Wen: "Director, I know the code of Xu Zhao's group!"
