When these "tricky" and "unconventional" questions came out of the host's mouth, the guests present all took a deep breath.
"What a ridiculous question! Even I'm not sure how the name 'Stanley' came about..."
A middle-aged guest whispered to his companions.
"Exactly. Aren't the questions in this competition too difficult and biased? It feels like they're testing history students."
"You can't say that,"
Someone nearby retorted, "Miss Hong Kong is the face of Hong Kong. How can she represent it if she doesn't even understand the history of her own place? I think this kind of question really tests her depth, not just her looks."
"Isn't that unfair to Miss Liu? How long has she been here?"
"Whether it's fair or not is another matter, but that's the format of the competition. Didn't Zhu Lingling answer very well? She looked so confident."
Time passed quickly as I was busy answering questions.
After reading out the twenty questions, the host asked the contestants to show their answer boards.
The judges sent staff to quickly move between the contestants and begin to check and record their scores.
"Contestant number one, Chen Wenying, got 13 correct and 7 wrong. Not bad!" the host announced. The audience erupted in applause.
"Contestant number three, Wang Ailun, got 11 questions correct..."
…
As the results were announced one by one, the accuracy rate of most local contestants hovered around 10 questions, and only a few could reach 12 or 13 questions.
The guests at the scene and the audience in front of the TV had different feelings when they saw this situation.
After all, they had just checked and found that most people were also completely clueless about these questions.
"See, even these local girls can't answer all the questions. Liu Rumeng is in danger." Some people began to worry about Liu Rumeng.
"I think it's pretty impressive that I can answer half of the questions correctly. As long as Liu Rumeng can get ten questions right, that's good enough. After all, how long has she been here?"
Finally, number 17 was called, Zhu Lingling.
When the host picked up Zhu Lingling's answer board, a look of surprise flashed across his face.
"Contestant number seventeen, Miss Zhu Lingling!"
At this point, he deliberately raised his voice, "Twenty questions, 19 correct answers! Only one, regrettably, was wrong! Amazing! A true contender for the championship! Truly embodying the coexistence of beauty and brains!"
Wow!
All nineteen questions are correct!
Only one question wrong!
Compared with the beauties in front, Zhu Lingling's accuracy rate is really eye-catching.
Wow——
The scene immediately erupted in warm applause and praise.
Several judges on the judging panel also nodded and gave Zhu Lingling approving glances.
Although Run Run Shaw's face remained expressionless, a glimmer of satisfaction flashed across the depths of his eyes.
Li Ka-shing nodded slightly, expressing satisfaction with this high score that far exceeded his expectations.
Fang Yihua maintained a calm appearance, but the smile on the corners of her mouth was uncontrollably curled up.
Zhu Lingling's high score will undoubtedly greatly narrow the gap with Liu Rumeng, and even lay the foundation for her to turn things around in the final public welfare vision segment!
At this moment, many audiences inside and outside the venue who supported Zhu Lingling or expected a reversal were also excited.
Indeed, for some viewers, how can the Miss Hong Kong finals be interesting if there is no suspense?
Liu Rumeng is indeed the favorite to win the championship, but if someone can challenge Liu Rumeng's position and make the competition more dramatic, that is also what this part of the audience wants to see.
In the Guo family's living room, after seeing Zhu Lingling's accuracy, everyone fell silent for a moment, and the atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point.
Guo Jingzhu sighed and slumped on the sofa. "It's over, it's over! Question 19! Cousin Rumeng is done for now! Zhu Lingling will definitely catch up to her. Maybe even surpass her..."
The others were also filled with gloom. Even Mr. Guo couldn't help but sigh, although he had already anticipated this outcome.
At this moment, the TV camera captured Liu Rumeng's expression just right.
However, when she heard Zhu Lingling's score, her eyes remained calm, and she even smiled and nodded to congratulate Zhu Lingling next to her.
Then, the focus of everyone's attention arrived.
The host walked up to Liu Rumeng and picked up her answer board.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the small board.
The host looked down - instantly!
His eyes suddenly widened, and an expression of extreme surprise and disbelief appeared on his face!
He excitedly raised his head, looked at the audience, then at Liu Rumeng, and even lowered his head to check the answer sheet again. His voice rose an entire octave due to shock, and he shouted with indescribable excitement:
"Dear guests! Friends watching on TV! Guess what I saw?!!"
The host's gaffe made the originally noisy scene suddenly silent!
Everyone was shocked by his exaggerated reaction.
What on earth is so amazing?
Could it be that Liu Rumeng didn’t answer any of the questions correctly?
The smiles on Li Ka-shing and Mona Fong's faces froze instantly, while Run Run Shaw narrowed his eyes.
Because the host's reaction was far beyond their expectations.
So much so that they didn't know whether Liu Rumeng's answer was too bad or too good.
The audience in front of the TV were even more worried!
The host kept them in suspense, and everyone's appetite was piqued. They stretched their necks and waited for the announcement of the result.
