Chapter 1018: Chapter 1012: Eye Problems

Everyone here is a public figure, and the judges still have their reputations to uphold, so going against the organizers is something that only happens in various fantasies.

Then came the voting segment, where Li Changlin and Gao Sichun faced off, leaving their fate in the hands of the audience judges.

At this moment, Gao Sichun was actually incredibly nervous. Although she had confidence in herself, she also knew that Li Changlin’s abilities were not to be underestimated; he was a formidable competitor.

However, Gao Sichun clearly didn’t truly understand herself. Knowing both your enemy and yourself, she underestimated Li Changlin’s strength and overestimated her own advantage. As a result, this battle was doomed to end in her downfall.

Soon, Lu Piaopiao announced the start of the vote, and all the audience members picked up the voting devices on their chairs and began to make their decisions.

As the voting began, the names of Li Changlin and Gao Sichun flashed up on the big screen behind them.

And below those names, a series of numbers appeared—these were the results of the audience’s votes.

The red numbers kept changing as Li Changlin and Gao Sichun’s votes continued to rise. However, from the start, Li Changlin’s score was already leading by a wide margin.

There were a total of eight hundred audience members at the scene, and of course, Yang Fei wasn’t counted among them, as Dragon TV had arranged another location for him. At this time, our Honey Mantou was doing the live broadcast nervously.

As for Gao Sichun, Yang Fei certainly harbored extreme animosity towards her. His heart was almost bursting with the desire for Li Changlin to utterly crush his opponent. Moreover, Yang Fei was very clear in his mind that Brother Changlin needed to feel no pressure when dealing with Gao Sichun.

However, Yang Fei also didn’t dare to be careless. At such times, he feared a sudden turnaround, especially since just yesterday Li Changlin had been directly eliminated by the judges. If today’s audience judges were to suddenly have a brain fart, wouldn’t Brother Changlin be in a pitiful situation?

Thankfully, that scenario didn’t occur. When Li Changlin’s vote count reached six hundred eighty, Yang Fei knew everything was settled.

Obviously, Gao Sichun’s final vote count was only a hundred twenty, far below Li Changlin’s score.

In such a situation, Gao Sichun’s fate was irreversible, and unless her mentor was a fool, the best outcome for Gao Sichun would be to be directly kicked out of the team, never to return to the stage again.

At this time, Gao Sichun was unaware of her score. As the five-minute voting period came to an end and Lu Piaopiao called a halt, Gao Sichun immediately turned her head to look at the big screen behind her.

"Wow, six hundred eighty votes, I won!" Sometimes, Yang Fei even wondered if Gao Sichun had a vision problem. The six hundred eighty votes were clearly Brother Changlin’s—Gao Sichun, are you blind?

Gao Sichun’s exclamation actually baffled the audience.

For a moment, many were so taken aback that even the judges Wang Han and Lu Piaopiao changed expression and hurriedly turned to look up at the big screen.

"Li Changlin got six hundred eighty votes," Lu Piaopiao read aloud, and everyone was suddenly woken from their confusion—darn, they were almost fooled by Gao Sichun.

"It can’t be, I’m the one who got six hundred eighty, I..." Upon hearing Lu Piaopiao state Li Changlin’s vote count, Gao Sichun was also stunned for a moment. She quickly shook her head forcefully and, upon clearly seeing the name above the red number, Gao Sichun completely collapsed, "How is this possible, I don’t believe it, why do I only have one hundred twenty votes. Impossible, absolutely impossible, host, did you make a mistake, is there something wrong with the computer, or did the voting devices break!"

Disbelief, truly unbearable to accept this result.

Gao Sichun was shaking, nearly fainting.

How could she lose, how could she ever lose!

Just now, the audience seemed so enthusiastic. Why would they become unrecognizable in the blink of an eye? This was too unscientific, Gao Sichun couldn’t believe it!

And, even more importantly, her coach Liu Jielun said she had performed fairly standardly, so why would the result be like this?

The other judges also said she sang well; why wouldn’t the audience vote for her? They couldn’t all have been bribed by Li Changlin!

Right, it must be that. Or maybe, the audience knew Li Changlin’s capabilities, so they were scared!

Believing she had found the reason, Gao Sichun raised the microphone and loudly said, "Host, the audience didn’t vote for me because they were intimidated by Li Changlin. I demand a re-vote!"

"Sorry Gao Sichun, we can’t accommodate your request," Lu Piaopiao was truly thunderstruck upon hearing such an absurd excuse.

However, she had absolute faith in the fairness of the voting process.

Not to mention how feasible Gao Sichun’s reason was, even if Li Changlin truly intimidated the onsite audience, voting was anonymous. If Li Changlin were to make such a silly move, those audience members weren’t fools. They could just turn around and support Gao Sichun instead—how would Li Changlin know whose votes they were casting?

"Why, he clearly cheated!" Gao Sichun pointed at Li Changlin, her heart filled with boundless resentment.

"Gao Sichun, I can responsibly tell you that our voting mechanism is very fair; there’s absolutely no such reason as you’ve claimed," said Lu Piaopiao, who, despite not scolding her for the unreasonable fuss, showed a face that was already a bit unyielding.

In the end, Zhang Zhiqian had to step down from his esteemed position and calmly escorted Gao Sichun off the stage. Thus, Li Changlin won by a high number of votes and successfully advanced into the top thirty-two.

Due to the unexpected incident in the studio, the recording of the program was forced to pause. After communicating with the host, the show’s crew decided to take a twenty-minute break. Zhang Zhiqian needed to first stabilize Gao Sichun’s emotions before he could work with peace of mind.

Li Changlin left the stage and returned to his team’s room, while by this time, Zhang Zhiqian had already taken Gao Sichun to their team’s lounge.

"Coach, sob sob..." Gao Sichun was emotionally charged, and as soon as she entered the lounge, she threw herself into Zhang Zhiqian’s arms, sobbing.

Being an old hand at relationship matters, Zhang Zhiqian naturally didn’t resist the beauty in his arms. So, in turn, he embraced Gao Sichun and softly comforted her, "Gao Sichun, your performance today was actually quite good. It’s only because you faced an even stronger opponent that the audience voted for Li Changlin. This is not your fault."

"But, but I still failed," Gao Sichun, oblivious to being taken advantage of by Zhang Zhiqian, cried pitifully, her face tear-stricken like pear blossoms in the rain.
