"The score of the Xinhui Chamber of Commerce School of the Hong Kong Four Districts Chamber of Commerce and Industry is——"
"The judges unanimously approved it, 30 points!"
Seeing Su Yun's name soaring up to the first place on the electronic scoreboard, many people in the audience began to look unhappy.
He was born in a housing estate in Sham Shui Po, attended a school that was not one of the famous ones in the area, and was even the youngest among all the contestants...how did he get to be so much taller than everyone else!
An undercurrent of excitement was brewing in the audience, and Su Yun bowed sincerely to thank the judges of the technology section. She then called Zheng Guoguang to bring Wang Jiaju and Zhou Xinheng up to help move the original microcomputer and other parts and tools from the table down.
Because it is a live television program, certain changes will inevitably be made for the sake of watchability. Unlike the Chinese quiz and technology projects that require a knowledge base to see the true mysteries, the music projects are open to everyone - even if the audience cannot make technical comments like the judges, but in terms of listening to music, it is the difference between good and bad.
Therefore, the next music segment was divided into two parts: in the first part, each contestant performed a famous song for the corresponding instrument to demonstrate the level of their skills; in the second part, they performed a "self-composed" song to demonstrate the innovation of their talents.
During the break of the game, when Su Yun returned to the stage to sit and rest, a beautiful couple who looked like they were rich came over.
Su Yun had also met one of their wives before - she was Lu Renjia's grandmother, Mi Lu Tai.
"I heard that you came to participate in the competition just to save money for your mother-in-law's surgery..." Mrs. Lu looked down at Su Yun kindly, and then took out a stack of thousand-yuan bills from her bag. "This stack of money is more than 20 bills. It's my little gift. I hope the old lady's surgery goes well."
"What do you mean?!" Before Su Yun could speak, the Wang family members stood up one after another: they had just met Mrs. Lu, and it was not difficult to guess why the parents of their opponent suddenly showed their courtesy to them.
"It's not strange to get nervous and perform poorly in such a big event, right?" Mrs. Lu's expression became more friendly. "Even if you win the game or the triple crown, it's only 20,000 in total... You are a smart girl, you should understand what I mean."
"Thank you Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu for your kindness." Su Yun smiled sarcastically.
Seeing Su Yun's attitude, the others also had mixed feelings: they were somewhat unwilling to watch such an opportunity to become famous slip away from their hands.
But Su Yun really did enter the competition just as they said, for the sake of paying for Grandma Su's surgery. Although Su Yun currently ranks first in total points, in the next music event, she will face outstanding students from 17 other districts who have been learning musical instruments since childhood.
For someone like Su Yun who came from an unconventional background, she got full marks in the Chinese quiz due to her ability and luck, and full marks in the technology event due to her originality and eye-catching performance. When it came to the final music event, no matter how talented and innovative she was, her score would easily be dragged down by the performance of famous pieces given her weak foundation.
Now that the money you wanted is right in front of you and within your grasp, isn't it better than going out and continuing to work hard only to fail, except that you didn't win glory for the school to the end?
In the silence, Zheng Guoguang, Su Yun's instructor, was the first to pat her on the shoulder and said, "You have made it this far, which has brought honor to the school... Just do what you want."
Su Yun didn't say anything, but just cast her eyes on Grandma Su who was sitting in the wheelchair.
"Nannan..." Grandma Su was silent for a moment, and finally called Su Yun, with a look in her eyes that only the two of them could understand.
After understanding what Grandma Su meant, Su Yun turned around and, in the eyes of the Lu family couple who knew the current situation, pushed the stack of money back: "Sorry, I will listen to Grandma - please go back."
Unable to get any good response from Su Yun, the Lu couple left with gloomy faces.
On the way, Mrs. Lu was a little anxious: "Honey, among these people, I am not even afraid of Diocesan Girls' School and other schools... The only thing I am worried about is the variable of Sham Shui Po. She got full marks twice in a row, and her total score is 3 points more than our son!"
"If she really wins all three championships, then at the exchange meeting in the UK later... St. Paul's will not let our son be the leader of the elementary school department!"
It is a rare opportunity for St. Paul's to take elementary school students abroad for exchange meetings, and the elementary school leaders will also have the opportunity to perform solo in a foreign concert hall. Naturally, the competition within the school is extremely fierce.
Mrs. Lu felt worried when she thought about how Lu Renjia was looking forward to defeating other opponents and becoming the team leader. Although every parent thinks that their child is the best and most powerful, most of the opponents in São Paulo are also the children of neighbors. Mrs. Lu also knows the weight of her own child.
My child's overall level is relatively the highest, so he will be the representative of the Central and Western District in this competition. However, the exchange will be based on music performance and school scores.
My child is usually not very sociable, so it is probably hopeless for him to get good grades from his classmates; so he can only try his best in this competition to improve the impression points of all the teachers.
"Don't worry, your husband is already prepared." Mr. Lu patted Mrs. Lu's hand soothingly, signaling her to pay more attention to the stage and stop thinking about it.
Mrs. Lu, who had no idea what her husband had done, could only watch Su Yun's appearance on the stage with anticipation.
Her son made a small mistake in the previous famous song performance, perhaps because he was nervous or something else, and only got 13 points, which was less than the 14 or 15 points of several other students from prestigious schools.
Fortunately, I got close to full marks in the previous two items, and my current total score is still second.
I am afraid of Su Yun, the alien who always gets full marks.
Under Mrs. Lu's eager gaze, Su Yunsi played a famous guitar piece perfectly without any stage fright.
It’s over, it’s over…
Mrs. Lu heard it clearly and saw it with great excitement: Su Yun’s performance of the famous piece was almost perfect, better than anyone else’s before her!
In this world, there are geniuses who are infinitely favored and loved by God!
At the same time, people who were born in the same era as him, no matter how hard they tried, could only dim their own tiny stars under the dazzling light of the genius like the bright moon in the sky.
I don't know how the people in the audience felt. Su Yun, who had the basic connections from her previous life and the eight-times-speed system in the small dark room, practiced hard whenever she had time until the finals. After confirming that her performance was the best she could do so far, she stood up politely and bowed to the judges, waiting for the results to be announced.
5 points, 5 points, 1 point...
1 point? !
Not only Su Yun, but even the other two elementary school students from prestigious schools who were in the same group with her and waiting to perform next looked at the scoreboard held by the judge on the far right in disbelief.
Compared with the simple comments of the two judges next to him, the judge on the far right made a rather ambiguous comment, which basically said that Su Yun's emotional expression in this performance was not good, so she was deducted a lot of points.
Considering that this was a live broadcast, the two judges who had given Su Yun full marks could not refute on the spot. They could only turn around and look at this guy with a professional smile as a warning: Everyone knows that there are all kinds of shady dealings and unspoken rules in society, but don't be too obvious!
Not all audiences can be fooled easily. If the noise is too obvious, the complaint hotline will be flooded with calls.
Later, when the judge on the far right gave another contestant a score back to above 3 points, the other two finally breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, the warning was effective.
It's just a pity for the little girl representing the Sham Shui Po district. She was obviously targeted.
In a large-scale competition like this that is not transparent and fair enough, if a genius does not have a good background, his glory will be ruthlessly suppressed by the class.
"This..." Mrs. Lu looked at her husband beside her with surprise.
Lu Sheng once again smiled and covered the back of her tense and tense hand to comfort her. Then, he looked at some seats in the front row of senior executives with satisfaction.
The little girl on the stage had tears of grievance welling up in her eyes, but the people below the stage all had their own thoughts, and many even just burying their hands and watching the situation with a smile.
Fang Mona, who was also sitting in the front row, saw this and waved to the people next to her: "Go check what's going on."
If it was just this one incident, she wouldn't have to clash with those people over the child Su Yun; but if the trouble continued and even the audience couldn't stand it, then she would have to take action.
She was partly involved in this knowledge competition.
In order to please the housewives who have always been in charge of the TV remote controls at home, Hong Kong's television programs, apart from costume dramas suitable for all ages, are mainly dramas designed to please housewives.
Currently, there are very few children's programs on television.
The only ones who can snatch the remote control from the housewives are the children at home.
In order to expand the market for children's programmes, she has put in a lot of effort and time, such as this inter-school knowledge competition in the 18 districts of Hong Kong - watching the outstanding children compete to the end and then be able to perform on TV in front of the public is something that both adults and children love.
Thanks to this competition covering all 18 districts in Hong Kong, it has attracted the attention of all Hong Kong citizens during this period.
Can't let these people mess it up.
No matter how those insiders are scheming against each other now, over here, Su Yun maintained her miserable and weeping look as she walked off the stage and returned to her seat pitifully, only to see her own people who were extremely angry.
When they saw Su Yun coming back, they rushed over to offer her all kinds of comfort.
"Thank you all, I won't give up..." Su Yun, knowing that those fiercely combative senior executives of TBB would not easily allow the shady dealings to continue in order to avoid damaging the company's reputation, responded repeatedly, saying that she would not give in.
After finally dealing with the comfort and concern from Zheng Guoguang and the Wang family, Su Yun suddenly remembered something and looked around, asking in confusion, "Where's my mother-in-law?"
"The rich man named Lu came over again and said that if you are willing to 'fail' in the next game, he will still give you the money!" The two brothers Wang Jiaju and Wang Jiaxiang explained at the same time, "This made Grandma Su very angry, so she asked Miss Zhao to push her outside to get some fresh air!"
Thinking of this, the others also looked angry.
"Then I feel relieved." Knowing that Grandma Su was being taken care of, Su Yun nodded with relief.
Look at the time, she will have to go on stage again in a while.
Just as Su Yun picked up her guitar and was about to go backstage to prepare for the next game, Zhao Yinyin, looking panicked, suddenly rushed in from outside.
"Su Su, your mother-in-law insisted that I send her to the rooftop, and I couldn't persuade her—"
"She's sitting on the rooftop railing over there. It's so dangerous... I can't persuade her because she said, she said she wants to seek justice for you!"
