Feeling the oppressive gazes of the judges, the host broke out in a cold sweat and wished he could leave as soon as possible.
There are quite a few powerful and influential people here today.
The director is someone who specializes in recording the competition pieces.
We will then edit out the best performances and release them as the final version, while sending the complete original to all the participants.
This was a big-name director specially invited by the organizers; she couldn't ignore him.
The situation is at a stalemate, and if any important person gets angry, she will be even more unable to bear it.
The host forced a smile: "Teachers, our competition must continue. If anyone reports a violation, we will have to replace the judges."
At that time, the matter here will be handed over to the music association for investigation. If the teachers truly did not accept bribes, we will apologize, but if…”
The host didn't finish what was said, but everyone here is an adult, so those who understand will understand.
Ji Zhiqing chuckled and said, "Yes, if you really didn't take any money, then you shouldn't have given ten points to number seventeen."
"She hadn't even finished playing yet, and you guys were already so quick, and you got a perfect score?"
With the evidence laid out before them, the four judges swallowed nervously.
Offending the director or the organizer is no big deal.
However, if you offend someone important or Ji Zhiqing, you really won't be able to survive in this industry.
"Wow, you guys are really amazing. You must have predicted the scores, right?" Mu Siyu said sarcastically.
This is the answer she received from others when she just asked a question on the forum about how to argue with people.
This is just what I needed!
Judge number four tried to argue: "Teacher Ji, we can't just change people like that, there's not enough time, maybe we should..."
"Of course you can change players anytime! It's just changing players; you can change as many as you want."
Ji Zhiqing showed them no respect whatsoever, taking out her phone and waving it: "You can guess how many people I can get with one phone call."
"Pfft." Upon hearing this, Xiaoyouzi burst out laughing.
The master is really too fierce.
They even said they'd call for reinforcements.
How many people will come by this shake?!
When Qin Feng saw Xiao Youzi laughing out loud, he intentionally or unintentionally blocked her from being retaliated against.
The other judges, seeing this, dared not speak out despite their anger.
The host quietly relented and immediately asked, "Teacher Ji, how should we arrange this substitution?"
Now, the judges were genuinely nervous.
Judge number four quickly said, "Ms. Ji, perhaps we should..."
Let's not change it.
He didn't dare say anything more after that, for fear of being scolded.
Ji Zhiqing looked at them coldly, finding it all amusing: "You bunch of people who collect money, once word gets out, nobody will want you anymore, right?"
It's one thing to take bribes, but to dare to point at Xiaoyouzi and curse her? Does she really think her as her master is dead?
Jiang Qian turned his head and asked in a low voice, "Shuqin, why did that kind-looking judge number three help Xiaoyouzi? Aren't they in cahoots?"
“No, Teacher Ji isn’t that kind of person,” Wen Shuqin said, observing silently from the side.
Jiang Qian said softly, "That's good."
"The judges probably don't want things to get too ugly, so please come backstage with me." The host quickly led everyone away and then onto the stage.
Host: "Distinguished guests, we are very sorry that there has been a slight mishap during this music competition. We, the organizers, would like to invite you to the buffet restaurant for tea and conversation. The competition will resume in one hour."
Seeing that everyone agreed, the host quietly wiped away his sweat.
Fortunately, Teacher Ji was here, which not only successfully exposed those judges who took bribes, but also helped to bring in even better judges.
The organizers were able to invite Ji Zhiqing because they had a good relationship with her; it's really difficult for ordinary people to do so.
The group headed to the buffet restaurant.
As soon as I walked in, I could smell the aroma of the pomelo.
"It smells like grilled steak, it smells so good! And there's barbecue too!" Little Yuzu ran inside excitedly.
Wen Shuqin quickly followed behind, saying, "Little Youzi, be careful, don't fall."
"Okay."
"The floor is so slippery!" Mu Siyu almost fell after taking only two steps.
Fortunately, she managed to grab Jiang Qian in time.
Jiang Qian helped Mu Siyu up and mocked, "Who told you to wear those slippery little leather shoes? You almost fell over."
"You helped me up, fine, but you had to say so much!" Mu Siyu rolled her eyes and said dryly, "Thank you."
Before she had taken two steps, Mu Siyu saw a WeChat call from Wen Tian.
She opened her phone: "Sweetie."
"Siyu, the match has been paused. Are you guys at the buffet?" Wen Tian had light makeup on her face and was wearing a very pretty dress.
Mu Siyu nodded, held up her phone and spun around: "Yes, we're at the buffet now. There's a line for the steak. Hurry up, you can only order one steak per person."
"Okay, I'm coming right now. You guys have to wait for me." Wen Tian said and hurriedly walked out.
Over there, Little Yuzu was in line when her phone rang.
It was a WeChat call from Wen Sitian.
Little Yuzu glanced at it and answered the call.
"Hey, cousin." Little Yuzi sniffed, looking completely bewildered by the grilled steak.
Wen Shuqin couldn't help but remind her, "Little Youzi, you should watch where you're going when you answer the phone, don't close your eyes."
Hearing Wen Shuqin's murmur, Xiaoyouzi opened her eyes.
On the other end of the phone, Wen Sitian asked Wen Tian what had happened outside and where they were.
