Backstage area of the competition organizing committee.
The boy in charge of data collection suddenly shouted, "Boss, come quick!"
A middle-aged man rushed over, "What's wrong? The statistics are out?"
"No, boss, look, Zhuang Ze's data for number 14 is very abnormal. I suspect someone is rigging the votes!"
"Huh? Let me see!"
That set of data was indeed very abnormal. When the video was first uploaded, the number of clicks was very high and the number of votes was very low, but the number of votes suddenly surged when the statistics were about to end, which basically confirmed that there was vote-rigging.
"Wait, let me report!" He took out his phone, walked to a corner, and made a call.
After a while, he walked over with a strange expression.
"Boss, should we remove Zhuang Ze's abnormal data?"
"No need, consider it normal data."
"Boss, we can't do this, it's...unfair to the other contestants!" the boy who was doing the statistics shouted, his voice righteous and indignant.
Boss: "...You...I can't explain it to you clearly. Just search it online yourself."
The boy went online with some skepticism, and after a while, he fell silent, offering no objections.
Damn it!
What objection is there?
A simple online search will reveal videos of Zhuang Ze playing with coins.
Dozens of influential figures campaigned for her; if she didn't get first place, then it would be a real scandal.
The vote count announcement phase.
The host reads out the votes and presents the awards.
The group of school beauties were extremely nervous.
Chi Yixi clenched her hands tightly and made a wish.
"Tenth Place: Xiao Yu"
Ninth place: He Yaru
"..."
Third place: Chi Yixi
Chi Yixi was somewhat disappointed. Hadn't he campaigned for her? Nevertheless, she maintained a smile and went on stage to accept the award.
Second place: Qin Huan
"First place:..."
The host deliberately kept the audience in suspense, pointing the microphone at them. "Who do you all want to win first place?"
A chorus of cheers erupted from the audience. "Zhuang Ze!"
After he finished speaking, everyone laughed.
Everyone knows that Zhuang Ze is the least likely to win first place. Any girl you pick would be better than Zhuang Ze. It's impossible for Zhuang Ze to win first place!
The host smiled and put away the microphone, announcing loudly, "So, as everyone wishes, the first place winner is Zhuang Ze!"
What?
The audience was a little confused: We were just joking, don't take it seriously.
impossible!
The school beauties on the stage looked at each other in disbelief. Damn it, someone can win by talking wires with coins? All our piano level 10 and guzheng professional level 3 studies have been for nothing?
There's something fishy going on!
This was Linghu Lan's first reaction. Could it be that her agreement with the organizing committee included a clause guaranteeing her first place?
However, upon closer examination, she realized it wasn't impossible.
So what if you're playing with coins? If you play them well, you can still make a strong comeback.
Creativity changes destiny.
Besides, if someone offers you an award, why wouldn't you dare accept it?
Take it!
Linghu Lan went on stage to accept the award.
The host asked her to say a few words.
Linghu Lan smiled and took the microphone: "When the host announced my award just now, I saw everyone smile."
The audience laughed.
She continued, "Actually, I laughed too."
Everyone: Ha! At least he has some self-awareness.
“Many people will say that I shouldn’t have taken it. But the trophy is already in my hands, and I will not give it back if you want to take it back.”
Everyone burst into laughter: This girl is hilarious!
"It's like confessing your feelings to someone, and they say yes, but then the next day they say they made a mistake. That would be so embarrassing!"
Everyone burst into laughter, even the school beauties on stage.
"So, don't doubt it, I am the nation's school beauty, I am the champion, please give me your blessings, okay?"
"Bravo!" A round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.
Zhuang Ze handled this crisis of trust with remarkable wit, earning her thirty-six thumbs-ups from the organizing committee.
