Zhang Ye was actually thinking about how much he wanted to go up onto the stage.
Five minutes passed and the audience was already becoming impatient.
The hosts could no longer drag it out any further. Looking offstage, a host said, “Teacher Judges, can we begin?”
An employee with a blue pass offstage noticed the situation and quickly went onstage, and took over the microphone, “Sorry, but we have a situation. Just now, someone reported that a contestant had violated the rules by cheating. So please wait patiently. We are still discussing the situation.”
“Cheat?”
“Who?”
“What cheating?”
The audience began to chatter.
The Beijing Writers’ Association’s employee said quickly, “The person that was reported is Zhang Ye.”
A few judges were looking very harsh, especially Elder Qian. He stared coldly at the Writers’ Association employee who had went up onstage to speak without their agreement. The outcome was not settled, so who allowed you to announce the name of the contestant that was reported? Who let you say it?
The female host was also stunned. She had previously mentioned that she had her bets on Teacher Zhang Ye.
The Writers’ Association employee pretended that he did not see the fierce stares from the Couplet Organization’s Leaders and the few judges. He carried on speaking casually, “This is because during the preliminaries, Zhang Ye was discussing the questions with his surrounding friends. Someone even heard one of his friends suggesting to plan a strategy for him to solve the question. After receiving the report, we checked the video footage and realized that it did happen!”
Elder Qian was enraged, “Get him down! What the heck!”
The faces of the few people from the Couplet Organization turned ugly. A Leader from the Couplet Organization said to a Leader from the Writers’ Association, “Things aren’t even confirmed. Who let you say that? Eh?”
The Writers’ Association’s Leader threw up his hands, “I didn’t instruct him to do it.”
The woman from the Couplet Organization who was responsible for receiving Zhang Ye said, “Get him the f**k down!” Even vulgarities came out!
The Beijing Writers’ Association’s Leader frowned, but he got his employee down. But since the words had been said, it was useless to think of turning the situation around by having his employee removed!
The words were shocking. This matter immediately blew up!
Whether it was the audience or the people watching the live webcast, everyone heard it!
