Chapter 33: Being asked to become autistic

All the audience's eyes turned to contestant No. 19, Hu Xiaoxiao. Even those who liked to whisper stopped whispering, sat up straight, and looked towards Hu Xiaoxiao.

Facing countless gazes, Hu Xiaoxiao was not afraid at all. Instead, he became more energetic and calm.

She walked around the stage like a princess inspecting her palace.

"Hello, Gavin."

"Hello, Miss Hu Xiaoxiao, I have a personal question." Chen Jinchu glanced at the dazzling girl next to him, who was impossible to ignore. "I saw your information. Miss Hu is only 18 years old this year. Do you feel that you are too young to be qualified for the mission of Miss Hong Kong?"

Hu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I think it's just right. Since I meet the age requirement for participating in the Miss Hong Kong pageant, it means that I am capable of fulfilling the mission and responsibilities of the pageant. In terms of ability, being young means I am full of potential and have an immeasurable future.

It just so happens that the young me will have more time to build our young Baogang, and build our Baogang into the most dazzling pearl on earth, whose brilliance cannot be ignored by anyone."

"It is indeed true that the next generation is formidable." Chen Jinchu praised, then turned to the audience, "Please welcome Shi Gao."

Fang Shigao sat next to a media person named Li Wenchu, "Mr. Li, please ask Ms. Hu a question."

Li Wenchu ​​nodded, took the microphone, and asked Hu Xiaoxiao: "Ms. Hu, if an unreasonable old lady wants to quarrel with you, what would you do?"

This topic reminds people of the previous incident about Athena.

Suddenly, everyone became alert and wanted to hear what Hu Xiaoxiao had to say.

Hu Xiaoxiao smiled and replied, "There are many ways to resolve the problem. It doesn't necessarily have to be a quarrel. She is an old lady, respecting the elderly and loving the young. We young people will all give her way."

Li Wenchu ​​obviously wouldn't easily avoid the question, "But grandma just loves to argue. She insists on arguing with you, so you have to argue with her?"

"If we have to argue, grandma will speak Cantonese and I'll speak Hakka."

Li Wenchu ​​continued to challenge him: "What if that old lady can speak Hakka?"

"Then I'll speak English."

Li Wenchu ​​couldn't help but laugh. "So, are you determined to talk at cross purposes? What if that old lady can speak English?"

Hu Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "If this old lady is so powerful, I will definitely treat her with respect, and then take her as my master and let her teach me some skills."

Chen Jinchu smiled and said, "What if grandma refuses to teach you skills?"

Hu Xiaoxiao replied, "Don't you think grandma likes to argue? If she doesn't teach me any skills, I will hold back and keep quiet, not arguing with her, and preventing her from doing what she likes."

Everyone couldn't help laughing. Chen Jinchu said, "Thank you, Miss Hu. Please return to your seat. Now, please welcome contestant number 20, Shen Yi—"

After Shen Yihao showed off his skills, he came to Chen Jinchu's side. "Hello, Gavin."

“Hello, Miss Shen Yi, now let’s invite the guests to ask questions.”

A male guest took the microphone and asked an equally tricky question, "Ms. Shen, if you accidentally went into the wrong men's restroom and there happened to be a man there, how would you resolve the awkwardness?"

Shen Yi thought about it for a while and said, “I will pretend to be blind.”

"You mean you didn't see anything, right?"

"Yes."

"What if that man is a pervert?"

Shen Yihao was stunned for a moment, “Then, I have no choice but to run quickly.”

There was another burst of laughter on the field, and Shen Yihao's ears turned red from laughing.

When the contestants started interacting with the guests, the audience had already started picking up forms to give their scores.

When you see a beauty you like or admire, you can vote for her, and each vote counts as one point.

After scoring, several scorers will tally the scores.

After the interactive session, Chen Jinchu said, "Please invite the 24 contestants to go around the stage and perform. This is your last chance to win votes for yourself."

The 24 beauties showed their most beautiful smiles and walked across the stage facing the audience with the most elegant postures.

"Next, let Wang Yiqun, Brother Qun, sing a song 'Orchid Grass' for us to relax."

Wang Yiqun is the second-in-command of the TV station and a guarantee of ratings.

His final performance boosted the show's ratings even more.

The contestants in the backstage were nervously waiting for the statistical results. The contestants who had not performed well in the interactive session were panicking: Oh no, oh no, I'm going to be eliminated.

Until the show was over, the host invited the beauties out again. Everyone walked out from the backstage in a line, some were ready to die, while others were full of anticipation.

The 24 beauties stood in a row again, in the center of the stage.

Fang Shigao has left the audience and walked onto the stage with Chen Jinchu to host the most tense segment.

"Okay, after the scorers' statistics, the scores are in my hands." Chen Jinchu held a folded piece of paper in his hand.

"The eight contestants with the lowest scores will leave the stage. I believe everyone is looking forward to finding out which eight they will be. Including me, I am also very much looking forward to it."

Fang Shigao said, "At this tense moment, I wonder how all the beauties are feeling. Let me interview them first."

Fang Shigao randomly selected a contestant and said, "Contestant No. 15 Lu Meilian, I'd like to interview you. How are you feeling right now?"

Lu Meilian was so nervous that she almost suffocated. "Very nervous."

Fang Shigao comforted her, "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. There's no point in being nervous now because the results are already out."

After hearing this consolation, Lu Meilan felt even more as if the sky had fallen.

"You're almost asking me to tears." Chen Jinchu smiled at Fang Shigao and asked Lu Meilian, "Ms. Lu, I'm not going to ask you about your results right now. I'm going to ask you about the other contestants. Which of the 24 contestants do you think is sure to make it to the finals?"

When asked about other people's topics, Lu Meilian finally relaxed a little. She replied, "I think No. 9 Lin Qianyou and No. 19 Hu Xiaoxiao will definitely make it to the finals."

"Are you sure?" Chen Jinchu asked.

Lu Meilian nodded and said, "Yes, absolutely. They are excellent. During training, they always work the hardest and are the most active. Especially Hu Xiaoxiao. She is amazing, learns things quickly, and is very hardworking and diligent. The teachers like her very much."

Fang Shigao asked mischievously, "Since you're sure contestants No. 9 and No. 19 will make it to the finals, then let me ask you, which contestant are you sure will be eliminated?"

Lu Meilian was almost autistic after being asked this question. She said, "I don't know who will be eliminated because I didn't vote for them. But I hope I won't be eliminated and that I can make it to the finals."
