Faced with Su Beiâs question, the eloquent reporters were speechless.
Su Bei continued, âI know that the outside world has always said that Xu Zhiqin has been pestering Pan Hongsen for years. However, do you have any evidence for that? Itâs been so many years. Have you taken any photos of Xu Zhiqin in this area? If you really believe everything that others say, shouldnât you be reflecting on yourselves? Arenât you too gullible?â
She raised her voice. âAlso, what Xu Zhiqin is facing now is not only verbal violence but also the harm caused by fans! Have you ever thought about how much harm itâll cause an innocent artiste to accept all these groundless accusations? If you can produce evidence to prove that Xu Zhiqin did such a thing, Iâll publicly apologize to her! If not, you guys should be the ones apologizing!â
Su Beiâs words caused a huge stir.
Some netizens who had already come up with their own conclusions thought about it carefully. It seemed that they had never seen scandals or photos of Xu Zhiqin pestering Pan Hongsen.
Every time such news was reported in the media, it was only because Xu Zhiqin and Pan Hongsen happened to be in the same place, but they had never been photographed together.
As for Xu Zhiqinâs entanglement with Pan Hongsen, the party that was most vocal about it apart from Pan Hongsen was Yali!
Looking back at it now, it seemed that it all started due to the connotative remarks said by Yali during the reality show. They pinned Xu Zhiqin to the pillar of shame!
âI think what President Su said makes sense.â
âThatâs right. There really doesnât seem to be any concrete evidence.â
âBut if Xu Zhiqin didnât do such a thing, why did Pan Hongsen and Yali say those things?â
âI still have my doubts. After all, Xu Zhiqin was once Pan Hongsenâs manager. She couldâve harassed him in private.â
âXu Zhiqin has never stepped out to refute either. Who knows if itâs true?â
âProtect our Yali! Yaliâs boyfriend was snatched away for no reason. Who did she offend, huh?â
The comments on the internet were mixed.
However, Su Beiâs words finally had a considerable effect. In addition, it was a fact that Xu Zhiqin was injured last time. At the moment, she had regained some trust.
The finals began at this time.
The atmosphere in the finals was already tense.
The competition between Xu Zhiqin and Yali was the most intense.
The other contestants had already become foils.
In the finals, He Xuyan did not participate in Xu Zhiqinâs guidance because of his injured arm and the previous score he gave.
This time, Su Bei was backstage personally discussing the script with Xu Zhiqin.
Of course, Yali was relieved.
âPresident Su is really overestimating himself. Does he think he can manage both the company and the actorsâ acting skills?â Yaliâs assistant mocked. âIs he too worried that Xu Zhiqin will make a fool of herself?â
âWho cares?â Yali was happy about President Su providing guidance to Xu Zhiqin. The more guidance she received, the better. âIsnât this good for me?â
On the other hand, Xu Zhiqin realized that Mr. Su seemed to be someone who knew one or two things about acting. His suggestions were of help to her.
âPresident Su, youâre really amazing. Can I still get your guidance in the future?â Xu Zhiqin said sincerely.
âAfter you win the championship.â Su Bei smiled.
Xu Zhiqin nodded heavily. âI must win the championship!â
He Xuyan heard her from afar and turned his head away.
Was the championship and Pan Hongsen really that important to her?
The competition began.
Yali performed well today. Su Bei looked at Xu Zhiqin from below the stage and realized that she was feeling nervous.
She nodded gently, indicating for Xu Zhiqin not to be nervous.
Xu Zhiqin took a deep breath. Her gaze moved from Su Bei to He Xuyan and then back to Su Bei.
She entered the scene and became one with the character.
She performed even better than her last time.
The off-site voting never stopped.
After knowing about all the recent incidents, there were many people voting for Xu Zhiqin this time. This was because she had used her super impressive acting skills to win over everyoneâs hearts!
On the other hand, Yaliâs fans were obviously not strong enough. There was still a gap between their votes and Xu Zhiqinâs.
On the production teamâs side, the directors also began to vote.
The scores given by these directors were considered fair and just. Xu Zhiqin maintained a slight lead over Yali for director votes.
Seeing that the viewership ratings kept rising, the entire production team was very excited. They did not expect Xu Zhiqin to bring about such a good effect.
The host watched as Xu Zhiqinâs and Yaliâs votes soared. His voice was also very high-pitched. âNow, Yaliâs audience votes are slightly more than Xu Zhiqinâs, but Xu Zhiqin has slightly more director votes. The two of them are almost even! However, our voting channel will close in five minutes. The directorsâ last round of voting hasnât ended yet! Who will win the championship tonight?â
Brother Mark and Pan Hongsen sat in front of the TV, looking unhappy.
Pan Hongsen said unhappily, âI donât want to film a TV show with her.â
âBut if she really wins the championship, we canât do anything about it. The production team canât go back on their word,â Brother Mark said. This was really a lousy situation to be in.
âNo matter what, I wonât work with her!â Pan Hongsen said. When he left Xu Zhiqin back then, he was in the wrong and felt guilty. That was why he destroyed all the evidence of him being with Xu Zhiqin so that she wouldnât cause any trouble.
If they worked together again, what if others dug up the past...
âIâll think of a way.â Brother Mark naturally did not want his good resources to be given to outsiders.
On the stage, the final voting had already begun.
In the last round, the directorsâ votes would be displayed at the same time. The outcome would be decided decisively.
When He Xuyan picked up his pen to write the score, his hand hesitated for a moment.
He would naturally give Xu Zhiqin the points he thought she deserved. From beginning to end, he had never gone against his conscience.
And now, the points he gave were very likely to determine the final outcome.
As long as he lowered his score slightly, Xu Zhiqin would not be able to win the championship and she would not be able to work with Pan Hongsen...
He picked up his pen and wrote down the score.
When the scores were displayed, the voting was officially closed.
The host shouted, âXu Zhiqin! The champion tonight is Xu Zhiqin! She defeated Yali by 0.1 points and won tonightâs championship! Congratulations!â
