Sisi, sitting in the middle of the first row, leaned against Lu Yan, her little body swaying precariously. She held a handful of peanuts in her hand, smacking her lips non-stop. She stuffed a few more peanuts into her mouth, chewing as she mumbled, "Sister Lu Yan, don't you think my dad looks handsome tonight?"

Lu Yan: "...Handsome!"

If you ignore his outfit, he is indeed very handsome.

Sisi beamed, as if she'd been praised. "Great! Look at that outfit! I picked it out for Daddy. Daddy plays basketball, so he needs loose-fitting clothes, and this one fits him perfectly!"

She was so prescient; if she had bought different clothes, her father might not have been able to show off his ball skills so skillfully.

Si Jingxuan: "..."

Do you know how devastated Dad is?

Simin stayed on stage for five minutes, giving everyone a good look, then twirled the ball between his fingers and floated off the stage amidst thunderous applause.

The judges are tallying the guests' scores, and the host is once again playing his role—creating a lively atmosphere.

After calculation, the rankings of the six guests have been determined.

First place: Simin, 86 points

Second place: Guan Zhizhi, 82 points

Third place: Yu Qingqing, 77 points

Fourth place: Lin Ranran, 75 points

Fifth place: Lan Qingyue, 72 points

Sixth place: Chen Xueyun, 70 points

When the rankings were announced, Chen Xueyun's face turned completely dark, and Liang Xiyu, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but shiver.

Why is she at the bottom? Why? She sang the same song as Lan Qingyue, and she even danced, which should be considered a plus, right? Why is Lan Qingyue ranked ahead of her?

With a dark expression, Chen Xueyun stormed over to the judges and launched into a tirade against the bewildered village chief.

The village chief was startled and touched his nose, explaining tremblingly, "Teacher Chen, you performed very well, really. We all gave you a very high score, but when we tallied the results, you were two points behind the person in front of you. So this ranking is absolutely fair, just and transparent, without any favoritism."

That's right. To ensure fairness and impartiality, no one from the production team participated.

Director Cai, hiding behind the camera, saw Chen Xueyun making things difficult for the village chief without regard for her image, and his expression didn't look good either. He quickly ran over, heavily pregnant, to smooth things over: "Teacher Chen, Teacher Chen, can we talk about this later? Look, the event hasn't ended yet, and it's not good for people to see this."

Chen Xueyun cares about her image and absolutely will not allow herself to be filmed in a state of losing control. Now that Director Cai has come to mediate, she has no choice but to force herself to endure it and retreat to the production crew to avoid the camera lens.

"Director Cai, do you think this scoring is fair? Why am I at the bottom? I may not be the best performer among the guests, but I'm not the worst either, right? I sang and danced, which is much better than some of the mediocre performers. Are you sure this scoring isn't biased?"

Chen Xueyun did not explicitly mention Lan Qingyue's name, but everyone in this circle knew that Chen Xueyun and Lan Qingyue did not get along.

Release the water?

What kind of talk is that?

She doesn't even consider her expression on stage. With a sour face, as if someone owes her a million dollars, no matter how well she sings or dances, it will still affect her overall impression.

Director Cai, with a gloomy face and a serious tone, said, "Teacher Chen, you should speak reasonably. The DVD of the gala will be burned and given to the guests to take home as souvenirs after the show."
