Shen Fang: Look, someone's coming.
It was Deng Chao's turn to go on stage. He was wearing an oversized old suit, had a big belly, and walked with a limp. It was hilarious.
Old Deng looked at the two of them and said, "Oh, Uncle and Auntie are here. Hurry up and get to the venue."
Liu Qianqian asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
"I am your host today, Liu Liu."
Liu Qianqian introduced herself: "I am Baiyun."
"Yes, I know, Auntie."
Liu Qianqian pointed to Chen Fang: "This is my assistant, Xiao Hei."
Shen Fang waved to the crowd, a shy smile on his face like that of an old man.
Xu Yan glanced at Wang Jinsong: "No??? Teacher Wang, if I remember correctly, Shen Fang didn't seem to have taken many acting classes, right?"
Wang Jinsong was also a bit dumbfounded: "That's right, since the start of the semester, this kid has basically never been at school. I only saw him in the last few days."
"She's a natural-born actress; even average actors might not be able to match her skills," Xu Yan exclaimed.
Wang Jinsong nodded: "It's a pity, but there's nothing we can do. This kid is rich and has a huge business. He's busy every day and he's involved in all sorts of big things. Even Principal Wang agreed, so I can't do anything about it."
Xu Yan glanced at Wang Hui: "Principal Wang, you need to talk to Shen Fang. His talent shouldn't be wasted."
Wang Hui was speechless: "The things he does are all big things. Recently, there have been many major events in the entertainment industry, and he is the one who is promoting and implementing them. I heard that the higher-ups value and support him a lot. Our cooperation with Hong Kong this time was all spearheaded by this kid. Even the famous Golden Harvest Film Company is his. Now we are all relying on him to take charge of the overall situation. What do you want me to say? Tell him to give up his career and study hard?"
"Even if I agree to this, do you think the higher-ups will agree?"
Huang Lei, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded.
"Wang Xiao, what are you talking about? This sounds so absurd to me! What exactly does Shen Fang do?"
Xu Yan sighed: "Never mind, as long as he can stay at Beijing Film Academy, that's fine. We'll have plenty of things to rely on him for in the future."
Wang Hui gave a thumbs up: "Junior sister, you have foresight. This kid is definitely going to turn our circle upside down. Just you wait and see."
Huang Lei? No? Did you even hear me?
Deng Chao: Uncle, let me tell you, there's been a slight change to our activities today.
Chen Fang: What changes?
........
Deng Chao: "So, in the end, our organizing committee decided to let netizens come up with questions today, which the two elderly people will answer on-site. The final decision on who will be the torchbearer from the Liaobei region today will be based on the online support. Now, the netizens' questions have been raised. First, we'll conduct a simple preliminary survey of the two Olympic torchbearer candidates. One netizen asked: 'Our torchbearers need to run long distances while carrying the Olympic flame. These two elderly people are already over 80 years old. How far can each of you run? Please tell the truth!'"
Chen Fang sat on the stool and said with a smile, "Two li away."
Deng Chao exclaimed in surprise, "Two li (approximately 1 kilometer)."
Chen Fang flashed his bright white teeth: "No trouble at all."
Deng Chao looked at Liu Qianqian and asked, "That's one kilometer! Where's the auntie?"
Shen Fang shoved Liu Qianqian: "I'm talking to you! Be truthful! Tell the truth!"
Liu Qianqian, feeling a little embarrassed, began to argue: "I don't think this should even be considered a problem. Because this is something that can be trained. Nobody is born a runner, thank you."
Shen Fang looked at Liu Qianqian: "But you didn't say how many meters you were going to run."
Liu Qianqian glared at Chen Fang resentfully, "Why do you have an extra mouth?!"
Seeing the atmosphere getting a bit tense, Deng Chao quickly changed the subject: "Okay, please listen to the second question, which is also a mandatory question. What sports do your parents like?"
Liu Qianqian answered quickly: "Swimming!"
Deng Chao glanced at Liu Qianqian in surprise: "Oh, so the auntie likes swimming."
Shen Fang immediately started exposing Liu Qianqian's past: "Come on, he only swam for three days. When I asked him why he stopped swimming, he said the pool water didn't taste good!"
Deng Chao: What about the uncle?
Shen Fang said smugly, "I like underwater swimming."
Deng Chao asked with a look of surprise, "Uncle, you can swim underwater. How long can you usually stay underwater?"
Liu Qianqian retorted without hesitation: "That depends on when the lifeguard tries to pull him out. If they try to pull him out a second later, he'll dive for another second. If they try to pull him out a year later, he'll definitely be floating there!"
This remark immediately caused the audience to burst into laughter. Liu Xiaoli was doubled over with laughter. She never expected her daughter to have a talent for comedy. She wondered if her daughter could develop in the field of comedy in the future. It seemed quite promising.
Deng Chao, his face turning yellow, changed the subject: "Let's continue with the questions. Next up is a set of buzzer-round questions. Listen carefully, what sport makes people's hearts pound?"
Liu Qianqian answered quickly: "Football!"
Deng Chao then asked, "What sport is more nerve-wracking?"
Liu Qianqian continued, "Chinese football!"
Deng Chao clapped: "Congratulations to the auntie for scoring another point."
"Please continue with the question, gentlemen. The Olympics is an international event, and it would be best if our torchbearer knew a little foreign language. How do you say 'tea' in English?"
Liu Qianqian answered quickly: "Tea!"
Deng Chao: "Green tea?"
Shen Fang touched on a blind spot in his knowledge, and he couldn't just sit idly by: "Green tea."
Liu Qianqian asked speechlessly, "Where's the black tea?"
Shen Fang smiled and said, "Red tea."
Liu Qianqian: Where's the flower tea?
Shen Fang said smugly, "Flower tea."
