Chapter 45: Counterattack
"There's nothing I can do. I was forced to do it." Tian Suining said helplessly.
After hearing this, the audience laughed sympathetically towards Tian Suining.
Chen Jinchu tried to smooth things over, saying, "Cockroaches themselves are a medicinal herb and can be eaten. When the need arises, for the sake of humanity's future, let's just treat it as medicine. Okay, let's get this over with and hand it off to Yao Yue and Shi Gao on the other side."
Li Yaoyue and Fang Shigao both laughed. Li Yaoyue said, "I hope the topic we're working on won't make people eat anything weird."
Contestant No. 4, Xu Qingcen, walked out and stood before Li Yaoyue and Fang Shigao. "Good evening, emcees."
"Good evening, Miss Xu." Fang Shigao took out the envelope. "Miss Xu, please choose a topic for yourself first."
Li Yaoyue said, "Miss Xu, would you like to pray for yourself first?"
Xu Qingcen said, "No need to pray, but I heard Brother Yue has always had good luck. Why don't you draw one for me?"
"I'd like to satisfy my desire to participate in the lottery, but if I draw a bad question, I'm afraid you'll call me a loser."
"No, I believe Brother Yue."
Fang Shigao interrupted, "It's useless for you to believe it. The rules don't allow it. Miss Xu, if you stick your head out, you'll get a knife. If you hide your head, you'll get a knife too. Come on—"
Xu Qingcen stretched out his hand and pulled out a letter from the bottom with a fearless attitude.
Li Yaoyue took it and opened the envelope.
After reading it once, Li Yaoyue said, "This question doesn't require eating, but it does require selling something. Does Ms. Xu have any sales experience?"
"No, I only have experience in counting money." Xu Qingcen said with a smile. Her job is a bank clerk.
"Then please listen carefully to the question, Ms. Xu. If you were a comb seller, how would you sell combs to bald men?"
Xu Qingcen replied: "I told him that combing his hair with my comb would make it grow longer."
Fang Shigao couldn't help laughing. "He's a bald guy, not a fool. Does he believe everything you say?"
Xu Qingcen quickly tried to make amends, "What I mean is that combing your hair can massage the acupoints and dredge the meridians. Maybe as you comb your hair, the meridians will be unblocked, the blood and qi will be replenished, and your hair will grow again."
"That makes some sense, but before you tell the bald guy this, I hope you'll consider his temper. If you meet someone with a bad temper, you might get beaten up before you even finish your words." Li Yaoyue said, "Please ask Miss Xu to return to the team first."
Next was No. 5 Hu Xiaoxiao. She walked up to the two emcees with a radiant look and greeted them politely.
Zhong Boding looked up at Hu Xiaoxiao's beautiful and charming appearance, feeling both love and hate for her.
With selfish motives at play, he couldn't help but tease her, "Miss Hu, look at the colors of your clothes and mine. Aren't they very interesting? Just like the saying, a flower stuck in something."
Chen Jinchu couldn't help but glance at Zhong Boding.
The cheongsam Hu Xiaoxiao was wearing was dark green, a color that could easily make someone look older. But on her radiant white skin, it didn't make her look older at all, but instead made her skin look flawless, like snow and jade.
Hu Xiaoxiao glanced at Zhong Boding's red outfit: Does he mean that he is a flower and is mocking her for wearing cow dung?
Hu Xiaoxiao smiled, not looking angry at all. Instead, he sincerely thanked Zhong Boding and said, "Thank you, thank you for praising me as a flower."
She first called it a flower, and then he was the heap...
The audience obviously understood the hidden meaning and burst into laughter.
Zhong Boding wanted to be difficult, but he was outmaneuvered. He blushed with embarrassment, and in a hurry, he tried to make excuses: "Where are the green flowers..."
Chen Jinchu suddenly interrupted him and said with a smile on his face, "Miss Jiali is not a flower, do you think you, a grown man, want to be a flower? If you like flowers, why don't you go backstage and change into a pair of flowery underwear before coming back."
The audience's laughter became even louder, and at the same time, it broke the knot, making the audience think that it was a program effect created by their host.
Zhong Boding didn't dare to do it again.
Chen Jinchu took out an envelope and asked Hu Xiaoxiao to draw a question. Hu Xiaoxiao took a look and directly took the top one and handed it to Chen Jinchu.
Chen Jinchu said, "It seems that Miss Hu is very confident."
“Being able to stand on this stage is where I feel most confident.”
"Being confident is a good thing. Confident girls are the most beautiful." Chen Jinchu opened the envelope, glanced at the question, and said, "Miss Hu, please listen to the question. This question is related to a famous novel. Please listen carefully, Miss Hu."
Hu Xiaoxiao listened carefully to Chen Jinchu reading the questions.
"If you were Zhu Bajie from the novel Journey to the West, how would you persuade Tang Sanzang to give up his quest for Buddhist scriptures and allow you to return to Gao Village, marry, and have children?"
Hu Xiaoxiao thought back to the Journey to the West the original owner had read. After regaining his memory, he gave a very contemporary answer: "I would tell Tang Sanzang that people nowadays don't like walking anymore. We need to be efficient in everything we do. If you want the true scriptures, just send an email to the Buddha, and then have the Buddha send the true scriptures to you via email. This way things will be much more efficient."
"Interesting, very interesting." Chen Jinchu asked again, "Then the second question is, how did you convince Tang Sanzang to let you go back to Gao Laozhuang to marry and have children?"
Hu Xiaoxiao replied, "I will tell Tang Monk that since you have obtained the true scriptures, there must be many people who want to read so many of them. If I go back and have more children, won't there be more people who can read the scriptures and spread the Dharma?"
"Is that okay?" Chen Jinchu was amused by Hu Xiaoxiao's answer. "Well, if I were Tang Monk, I would definitely agree to your request. Please ask Miss Hu to return to the team."
After expressing her gratitude, Hu Xiaoxiao gracefully returned to the team in her high heels.
Contestant No. 6 Ye Qiaomei stepped out of the line, walked to Li Yaoyue and Fang Shigao, and greeted the two emcees.
Fang Shigao glanced at Ye Qiaomei's number plate with the letter 6 and said, "Miss Ye, you were lucky enough to draw the number 6, which means you are a lucky person. I hope you will continue to have good luck and draw a good question."
Ye Qiaomei thanked him, "Thank you, I appreciate your kind words."
Li Yaoyue took out the envelope and asked Ye Qiaomei to draw a question.
Ye Qiaomei picked one up at random and handed it to Li Yaoyue.
After Li Yaoyue unfolded the letter, he said, "Wow, this question is a bit long. Miss Ye, please listen carefully."
The poem goes like this: "If there's a man who keeps looking at you, and you think he's interested in you and wants to harass you, then without a word, you go up to him and slap him in the face, and call him a pervert in front of many people.
Then the man explained that he kept looking at you because there was a grain of rice on the corner of your mouth. How would you resolve this awkward situation?
