570: Chapter 541: Open Conspiracy 570: Chapter 541: Open Conspiracy “Contestant number one!

Huang Can!” Tian Qinan announced as the spot for the first contestant lit up separately, “Friends from the media in the first row…

please!

Lift!

Your!

Cards!” Tian Qinan said word by word.

“Swish swish swish” Some of the twenty-five people in the first row raised their cards.

“1…2…3…

a total of ten votes!” Lin Baoyi counted the votes.

“Friends from the media in the second row…

please!

Lift!

Your!

Cards!” Tian Qinan shouted again to the people in the second row.

“1…2…3…

a total of ten votes!” Lin Baoyi swiftly counted the votes.

“Friends from the media in the third row, it’s your turn now…

please!

Lift!

Your!

Cards!” Tian Qinan said again to the people in the third row.

“1…2…3…

a total of seven votes!” Lin Baoyi quickly counted.

“Last row of media friends!

Please!

Lift!

Your!

Cards!” Tian Qinan shouted to the media guests sitting in the last row.

“1…2…

a total of two votes!” Lin Baoyi counted, feeling somewhat embarrassed, and quickly changed the topic, “So!

The total votes for contestant number one, Huang Can, are thirty!”

“…”

“Exciting!

So exciting!

It’s almost Qi Gongru’s turn!

Do you think she’ll be eliminated?!”

“I don’t think so!

I don’t want Gongru to be eliminated!

I want to keep hearing her sing!”

“Neither do I hope!

But I just want to know if her thrilling and youthful past is true?

If it is true…

compared to her, my life seems plain!”

“Then you should go mingle with the clubs!

Stop bothering me here!

Gongru isn’t that kind of person!”

“…”

All the audience are waiting for the media jury’s final verdict on Qi Gongru!

Liu Hun is also waiting; among the hundred media outlets he could control, only eleven were his, and he could influence up to twenty.

Although he was betting that the media would not want to let go of a hot topic like Qi Gongru, he was also worried but kept a backup plan just in case.

“Contestant number five!

Qi Gongru!” Lin Baoyi announced emphatically, though she was unaware of the intricacies, she knew the significant topical effect Qi Gongru had caused.

“Whoosh!” A beam of light illuminated Qi Gongru alone, dressed in a slightly loose t-shirt and simple jeans, standing quietly in the light, like a rose growing on a cliff, solitary and self-contained.

“Friends from the media in the first row…

contestant number five!

Qi Gongru!

Those who want to keep her, please!

Lift!

Your!

Cards!” Tian Qinan addressed the media people in the first row.

“Wow!

The second contestant tonight with all the votes!

Twenty-five votes!” Lin Baoyi glanced over and exclaimed without even counting.

“Thank you to the media friends in the first row!

Please, the second row!

Lift!

Your!

Cards!” Tian Qinan shouted again.

“Truly startling!

Another full vote!

Twenty-five votes!” Lin Baoyi still spoke in a very surprised tone.

Qi Gongru had now received fifty votes, placing her second in the group.

Thus, no matter how the remaining two rows would vote, Qi Gongru had definitively made it into the top ten of the Beijing District!

Liu Hun breathed a sigh of relief, as did the audience and the media.

Although keeping Qi Gongru satisfied various aspects, there was no tacit cooperation in this vote, and everyone was on edge.

Although Qi Gongru had already made it into the top ten, the remaining procedures still had to be completed.

“Friends from the media in the third row, please!

Lift!

Your!

Cards!” Tian Qinan spoke again, now much more relaxed since she was very fond of contestant Qi Gongru.

“Oh!

Another full vote of twenty-five votes!” Lin Baoyi covered her mouth, making a dramatic expression.

“Media friends sitting in the last row!

Please!

Lift!

Your!

Cards!” Tian Qinan awaited eagerly.

“1…2…3…twelve…thirteen…” Lin Baoyi counted, and when the number reached just over twenty, she slowed her counting pace, “Twenty…twenty-one…”

“Ugh!

Is it a bit short?

Count faster!”

“Who came up with this stupid idea!

How can you see clearly with the cards next to each other?”

“Why isn’t it a full vote!

There might be a big gift from Imperial City!”

“…”

Everyone awaited the perfect ending, unable to say why, but like everyone wanting to see a miracle, they hoped to see Qi Gongru pass with all the votes.

Lin Baoyi’s counting voice regrettably stopped at twenty-four votes, “Twenty-four… very regret…

twenty-five votes!

‘One Weekly’ raised their card at the last moment!

A full vote!”

“It’s unbelievable!

A contestant has been unanimously favored by all media and has passed with flying colors!

It’s contestant number five!

Qi Gongru!

Congratulations to her!” Tian Qinan exclaimed excitedly.

“Thank you!

Thank you, everyone, for your recognition!” Qi Gongru stood up and bowed to all members of the media jury.

“Ah!

It really was unanimous!

It feels incredible!”

“Right!

Right!

I didn’t expect so many media representatives to want her to stay!”

“I wonder if there will be another unanimously approved contestant!”

“Well, who cares!

Gongru is staying!”

“…”

After a heartfelt farewell, the eliminated contestants were sent away, and next was the segment where Imperial City Entertainment fulfilled the wishes of the contestants.

The microphone was passed to Qi Gongru, who took it and addressed everyone, “First, I want to thank the media jury for this great honor.

Thank you!

I also want to thank the three esteemed judges for their assessments and advice!

Thank you for the guidance and suggestions you’ve given me!

Lastly, I want to thank everyone who cares about me, loves me, as well as those who hate me and wished to see me fail.

All of this motivation has propelled me forward!

Thank you!” After taking a deep breath, Qi Gongru continued, “I know there has been a report about me recently…”

“Hey!

Hey!

Stop washing the dishes!

Qi Gongru is about to spill her secrets!”

“As expected, the best comes last!

Didn’t anyone say she was going to reveal it herself?!”

“This evening is totally worth the price of admission!

Spit it out already!”

“…”

The audience and spectators, who were about to leave, suddenly perked up, widened their eyes, and pricked up their ears, waiting for Qi Gongru to continue.

“I’ve responded to the One Weekly reporter before, the report is false!

I do not have any stepfather!

I know this statement might be hard to believe and seems weak, but…

if I have the chance, I’d like to attend Tianyu Media’s ‘Seeking Truth’ show with my parents!

On the show, I will rebut the slanders published about me one by one, and I’d like to introduce my parents to everyone who cares about me, letting them know that I am well.

I also want to introduce them to those who wish to tarnish my reputation, to make them shut their mouths in the face of facts, and to give me peace.

Lastly…

I intend to sue this so-called stepfather and the media that spread these baseless and distorted facts!

I hope Imperial City Entertainment can fulfill this request!

Please stay tuned!

Thank you!”

After Qi Gongru finished speaking, almost everyone!

Everyone!

Including the viewers in front of the TV, the audience and judges onsite, and even the media jury, were stunned.

It seemed as if time had lost three seconds, and the only person who remained aware was Liu Hun, who had arranged and orchestrated everything.

“My God!

My God!

Does she know what she’s saying?”

“I think she doesn’t know!

She is challenging the mightiest media giant in Beijing!”

“I’m so excited!

So thrilled!

Gongru is innocent!

She’s about to prove herself!”

“This show is getting more and more interesting!

Dammit, I’m not even sleepy anymore!”

“Can someone tell me when ‘Seeking Truth’ airs?

I’m not going to work just to watch it!”

“Isn’t she bluffing?

Her courage is just too much!

I still firmly believe she is lying!”

“If Imperial City agrees to Qi Gongru’s request, it’s like going head-to-head with Beijing Media!

Is it worth it for a contestant?”

“A battle for supremacy in the national media industry!

If Qi Gongru wins, Beijing Media will completely lose credibility!

If Qi Gongru loses, how will Imperial City face this mess?

This is becoming more interesting!”

“…”

After three seconds of silence, a more intense, more tumultuous discussion and debate ensued; it seemed as if the entire nation had been thrown into boiling water, boiling along with it.

This was not just about the scandal concerning Qi Gongru that everyone cared about but had escalated to a battle in the media industry.

Who would lose credibility?

Who would be utterly defeated?

Everyone was waiting for Imperial City’s response.

At the Beijing District’s ‘Top 20 to 10’ competition site, the two hosts were also stunned for a long time, Lin Baoyi and Tian Qinan did not know how to respond to Qi Gongru’s request, they hadn’t even expected her to make such a request.

“This…” Lin Baoyi, even though she was usually articulate, was at a loss for words amidst the expectations of millions, her earpiece receiving no hints from the director.

“Director Gao is coming up!” At that moment, Tian Qinan whispered to Lin Baoyi.

Following Liu Hun’s instructions, Gao Yelan rose to the stage amidst the audience’s anticipation, took the microphone from Lin Baoyi and addressed everyone, “In accordance with the show’s rules!

Tianyu Media and Imperial City Entertainment have decided to fulfill contestant Qi Gongru’s request!

We will invite Qi Gongru and her parents to appear on ‘Seeking Truth’, which airs the day after tomorrow, and…

we will try to contact this so-called stepfather!

We hope they can confront each other on TV in front of the audience to clarify the facts!

Please wait quietly!

Thank you!” After speaking, Gao Yelan returned the microphone to Lin Baoyi and left the stage.

“Imperial City has thrown down the gauntlet!

Imperial City has thrown down the gauntlet!”

“It’s so thrilling!

Imperial City’s ambition is completely bare!

They even want to invite the stepfather for confrontation!”

“Hahaha!

Isn’t this publicly slapping Beijing Media in the face?

Will they bring out the newspapers for a direct comparison?”

“We shall see how Beijing Media responds!

I am really looking forward to Beijing Media’s response!”

“…”
