TVB building, dressing room backstage for the finals.
Under the bright makeup mirror light, Liu Rumeng was having her final eyeliner carefully drawn by a makeup artist.
Her already beautiful face is embellished with makeup, giving it the luxurious luster needed for the stage.
"Sister Rumeng!"
Lu Ruirong's voice came from the doorway, and with just the right amount of joy, she quickly approached, "Are you ready so early? This makeup suits you perfectly, it's both elegant and exquisite! You're definitely the champion tonight!"
She looked at herself in the mirror sincerely, her tone very firm.
After all, in Lu Ruirong's eyes, the other Miss Hong Kong contestants were no different from her, not even a hair of Liu Rumeng could compare to them.
So what if she's the self-proclaimed proud Zhu Lingling? She's still just a commoner Cinderella, just like herself.
The first place belongs to Liu Rumeng!
Hearing this, Liu Rumeng raised her eyes slightly, looked at her through the mirror, and smiled kindly.
There is some sincerity in this smile, as well as some complex meaning.
"Ranking is no longer important to me."
Liu Rumeng's words were half true. After all, after going through many ups and downs, her husband Lin Huowang's current prominent status had long surpassed the vanity brought by the Miss Hong Kong title.
But the other half was because of the encrypted phone call last night, when Lin Huowang told her about Fang Yihua's "clever suppression plan".
This instantly ignited the flame of resentment in Liu Rumeng's heart.
In order to stir up the topic, TVB deliberately manipulated the rules in an attempt to "reasonably" give the championship to Rebecca Chiu.
Liu Rumeng could understand such business calculations, and for the sake of her husband Lin Huowang's overall plan, she could actually accept this result.
However, the "rationality" of being treated as a tool by TVB and using carefully designed clauses to "explain" why she was not qualified to reach the top completely aroused the unyielding spirit in her bones!
She, Liu Rumeng, may not want the crown, but she will never tolerate being "arranged" by others with the so-called "rules"!
Lu Ruirong thought she was just being modest and quickly responded, "Of course being first is important! Everyone in Hong Kong says you're the most popular choice! Look at the front page of today's newspaper..."
Before she finished speaking, she keenly noticed the sharp light that flashed in the depths of Liu Rumeng's eyes in the mirror, so her words stopped abruptly.
Liu Rumeng stood up and interrupted Lu Ruirong, saying, "Being the popular choice is just something others say. I entered the Miss Hong Kong pageant on a whim, hoping to get a good ranking... to surprise someone important. But now... I want to see for myself just how fair TVB's carefully designed 'new rules' really are tonight."
The "Fong Yihua Plan" calmly recounted by Lin Huowang last night echoed clearly in my ears. The temporarily added and seemingly noble "In-depth Exposition of Public Welfare Vision" segment deliberately raised the scoring weight of professionalism and "depth of thought", and the questions and answers about the names of places in the New Territories and the customs and culture of Hong Kong Island were precisely the soft spots and traps tailor-made for Liu Rumeng.
Lu Ruirong was also shocked when he heard this!
She understood that Liu Rumeng not only knew some rumors, but also might know the inside story of tonight's game!
Could it be that Xiao Linsheng found out and told Liu Rumeng?
Her throat tightened a little, and she cautiously asked, "Sister Rumeng...you mean...TVB is unhappy with your victory...so...there's something fishy going on here?"
Liu Rumeng said no more, only giving her a meaningful look before she said calmly, "Let's go. Time is running out. Don't let the staff behind the scenes wait for us... Tonight is the Miss Hong Kong finals! We'll see!"
