Chapter 5 The First Challenge
Gu Beiming walked to Xu Bo's side in a few steps. "My sister found this tourist on the roadside who accidentally sprained her ankle. The infrastructure on this island is not perfect, and we didn't see any doctors along the way. The production team should have a professional medical team, so we brought her here. Director, let the medical team check her out."
Xu Bo naturally would not refuse such a thing to win reputation for the program team, and immediately asked the staff to call medical staff.
Although Gu Beiming did not give a direct explanation for his words, everyone knew that they were late because they were saving someone.
Gu Beiming's fans in the live broadcast room, who had been feeling aggrieved for a long time, finally felt relieved.
[It turns out Xiao Ming was a few minutes late because he was saving someone. Anyone who scolded Xiao Ming should come out and apologize.]
[They are really kind and would help others even if they were late.]
[Blackie, get out here and die! Does this slap in the face feel good?]
After finishing the treatment, Gu Beiming quickly ran back to Gu Nansheng and said, "Sister, I have done as you instructed. The doctor will be here soon."
After saying that, a well-behaved smile appeared on his usually cold face, and he looked like a little puppy asking for praise.
The woman in front of him also smiled, reached out and touched Gu Beiming's head, praising him, "Well, well done."
Netizens had never seen Gu Beiming like this before and were stunned.
[I must be dreaming. Doesn't he always have that deadpan expression on his face, like someone owes him tens of millions?]
【Xiao Ming smiles so sweetly, I want to touch his head too.】
[This is clearly Gu Beiming's way of clearing himself, okay? Only you would believe it.]
[I bet he can't pretend for long. Just wait and see. With his bad temper, he will definitely make his fake sister cry.]
[Don't be sour, haters above. Wasn't today's slap in the face enough? And I told you before that his anger was due to his inhumanity. Now, facing my sister, his expression is naturally gentle.]
Medical staff quickly came and took the woman away, and the recording of Gu Beiming and Gu Nansheng officially began.
However, facing the camera, Gu Beiming regained his usual cold demeanor and said coldly, "Hello everyone, I'm Gu Beiming."
Gu Nansheng wasn't a talkative person, and she wasn't on the show to become famous; she was only on it to change Gu Beiming's fate. She felt she didn't need to explain too much to the audience, so she simply said, "Hello everyone, I'm Gu Nansheng."
Compared with other groups of guests, the introductions of the two could be considered very perfunctory. Seeing this, the black fans who had been attacked just now immediately became angry again.
[Sure enough, Gu Beiming has returned to his old self. He was just pretending.]
[The brother and sister are the same, both so rude.]
Gu Beiming's sister looked just like him, with a blank mind and only a pretty face.
[It doesn't matter how good your face looks if you have a bad heart, the Gu family siblings will be black for life.]
Didn't you see they just helped the tourists? Is that considered bad-hearted?
[It's obvious that the script is deliberately whitewashing the story, just like your fan letter.]
After a brief introduction, the two walked towards where the guests were gathered. At this moment, everyone had a smile on their face and tacitly did not mention being late.
Song Shuyi smiled and praised, "Oh, it turns out that beautiful people are also kind-hearted."
She has always loved charity and appreciates things like helping others.
The two brothers Ye Ze and Ye Ting looked at each other and then stepped forward, praising the two of them.
Compared with the other two groups of guests, the Chen siblings were in a complicated mood at this time. The appearance of the Gu siblings was undoubtedly a slap in the face for them.
Of course, Chen Jiayan came to participate in this program not just to accompany her brother. She wanted to use this program to show herself and spread her reputation as a top socialite, which would be her capital to marry into a higher-level wealthy family in the future.
She felt uneasy the moment Gu Nansheng appeared. Her temperament and beauty, which she was proud of, were completely suppressed by Gu Nansheng, not to mention that the Gu siblings appeared to save someone.
But she was knowledgeable and experienced, so she quickly came to her senses and realized that now was not the time to worry about these things.
And because of Chen Taining, she also knew a lot about Gu Beiming. With such a brother, she didn't believe that Gu Nansheng could stay out of trouble!
Thinking of this, she felt much more at ease. She walked over to Gu Nansheng and said with a smile, "Sister Gu, when I saw you guys weren't here just now, I was worried that something had happened on the way. I didn't expect you were going to save someone. That's great."
After Gu Nansheng arrived, he dealt with other people while glancing at the original heroine out of the corner of his eye.
This heroine is indeed not as pure and harmless as described in the novel. Although she tries her best to maintain her facial expression, there is still some murderous light in her eyes.
However, she has a good ability to control her emotions. She adjusted her mood so quickly to show her goodwill. No wonder the heroine became the big winner in the end.
Gu Nansheng smiled slightly, but looked at Chen Jiayan with a scrutinizing look, "Thank you, Miss Chen, for your concern."
Chen Jiayan's heart tightened, and she had a premonition that she was seen through. She comforted herself in her heart that a fool like Gu Beiming could not have a smart sister, which calmed her down, but she did not dare to say anything more.
Compared to Chen Jiayan, Chen Taining was even more resentful. Gu Beiming had turned the tables again, and his words just now became a joke!
It was not until Chen Jiayan reminded him in a low voice that he reluctantly walked towards Gu Beiming and praised the two of them.
Fortunately, director Xu Bo appeared again with a red loudspeaker, which also meant that the variety show officially began.
He announced to the crowd, "First, let me welcome everyone to our second season of 'Understanding Challenge.' I believe everyone is familiar with our show. Over the next three days, we will face numerous challenges, both large and small. To achieve high scores, your intelligence, physical strength, and the ability to work together will all be essential."
"Next is our first challenge, and this challenge will determine where everyone will stay for the next three days. Whether you stay in a luxurious sea view room or a small beach house depends on your ability."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the guests became solemn.
Everyone is familiar with this variety show. It is famous for not giving any leeway. If they say a house is a dilapidated house, it is a dilapidated house. Last season, a guest lived in a cave that was full of cobwebs and had been abandoned for many years.
Xu Bo looked at everyone's serious expressions with satisfaction and continued, "Everyone, don't be so nervous. Considering this is your first challenge and everyone has been traveling for most of the day, we want to make it a little easier. So this time, the challenge is a quiz. We'll use a quick-answer mode. One point will be added for a correct answer, and one point will be deducted for an incorrect answer. Finally, everyone will be ranked by their total score to choose a room."
It was great, it didn’t involve crossing a mud puddle or running a few kilometers, and many people breathed a sigh of relief.
However, this knowledge quiz did not seem so easy. It greatly tested the knowledge reserves of the guests. For a moment, the expressions on the guests' faces were different.
Chen Jiayan tried her best to suppress the smile on her face. She graduated from an Ivy League university, so how could she not be able to beat these idiots in the entertainment industry?
As for the so-called domineering CEO Ye Ting, she had asked someone to investigate him before. He bought his degree from a prestigious university with money, and the company he founded was half-dead, so he came on the show to hype it up and trick others into investing. How could such a person be better than herself?
She glanced at the Gu siblings not far away. Gu Beiming was a poor student, and she thought Gu Nansheng should be about the same.
This time she will definitely be able to overshadow Gu Nansheng and take back her own highlight moment.
Netizens in the live broadcast room began to speculate about this challenge.
[Although I like actress Chen very much, she is an arts student and her son is only 14 years old, so I don't think she can win.]
[No need to guess, the champion will definitely be born from the Jiayan siblings and Ye Ting brother team. Jiayan graduated from an Ivy League school, and Ye Ting also graduated from a prestigious school. He has now founded a technology company, so his knowledge must be very broad.]
The key is who will come out on top. My guess is Jiayan. She got straight A's in college and currently works at a consulting firm.
[+1 to the above, I also support Jiayan. 】
[Hahaha, is it because the last one is so obvious that no one is betting on them? I'm guessing it must be the Gu siblings. Gu Beiming didn't even finish high school, and his sister is probably the same.]
Gu Nansheng is dressed up so extravagantly, it's obvious she's not a studious person. She's probably just a pretty face.
[Hurry up and start the competition! I really want to see Gu Beiming living in a shabby house and have bad luck!]
However, the more anxious the audience becomes, the more the program team wants to keep the show in suspense.
After Xu Bo finished reading a long string of advertising slogans, he began to conduct pre-match interviews with each group of guests.
First up was Song Shuyi's group. Xu Bo asked, "Is Film Queen Chen confident?"
Song Shuyi sighed and said, "I have already returned everything I learned in school to my teachers. Now I can only rely on my son."
Then she patted Luo Qingyu on the shoulder and said, "Son, our hope of not taking last place depends on you. Do you have confidence?"
But Luo Qingyu obviously didn't have much confidence. "Mom, I'm only in junior high school! We should adapt to living in this shabby house as soon as possible."
Although their question and answer were quite sad, they successfully amused the netizens in the live broadcast room.
【Hahaha, the actress is really honest.】
[The actress shouldn't be sad. The main reason is that the two groups next door both have top students who graduated from prestigious universities. It's normal that they can't compete. Living in a shabby house is just a way to experience life. Besides, there are the Gu siblings at the bottom.]
Ye Ze looked at Ye Ting with help in his eyes, "Brother, I really rely on you this time."
Ye Ting was also a little panicked. He knew that his academic qualifications were bought, but now was not the time to show his weakness. He pretended to be humble and said, "I have been away from school for many years, and I have forgotten a lot of knowledge. I hope there will be more science and technology questions by then."
Ye Ting is indeed the company's president. He's so modest and doesn't boast.
What Mr. Ye said makes sense. He's been away from school for too long and has forgotten a lot of the knowledge. It's normal that he didn't perform well.
Chen Taining has great confidence in Chen Jiayan. "She has been a role model for me since she was young, both in terms of character and academics. I certainly believe she can help me achieve good grades. Of course, no matter what the outcome, I love her."
Chen Jiayan smiled sweetly, and looked at Chen Taining with tenderness in her eyes. "Thank you, Xiaoning, for trusting me so much. I will definitely do my best."
[What a pair of fairy siblings, so loving. ]
【What is a two-way run? Is this good?】
[They must be number one. Only those with absolute confidence in themselves can be so calm.]
After the three groups of guests were interviewed, only Gu Beiming and Gu Nansheng were left. Both of them had indifferent expressions, especially Gu Beiming, who had a hint of disdain on his face.
It's so funny. His sister is a genius student who has a photographic memory since she was a child. Isn't this kind of IQ test like a pillow for her?
Xu Bo felt a little embarrassed about this. These two were the ones who reacted the least to my challenge, and this guy's expression seemed to be saying that the competition segment they arranged was stupid!
But to avoid a dull moment, he sighed and took the initiative to ask, "Are you confident in this challenge? What place do you think you can get?"
This time, Gu Beiming didn't have a cold expression on his face. He even smiled confidently. He said with a tone that was not at all humble but boastful, "Of course I am confident. It's just a small challenge. My sister is so amazing. Nothing can stop her. We will definitely take first place."
