Shen Wei stepped onto the stage confidently. Then she looked at the audience, thinking to herself that it was just answering some questions. If Ji Xiaoli could do it, so could she.
Perhaps the confident smile on Shen Wei's face misled many people. They thought Shen Wei really could answer all these questions.
"The first question. Where is the refrigerator's cold storage compartment?"
Since it was the first question, it was very easy. Shen Wei answered it confidently, believing that she would surely win this time. It was just such a simple question. Did Ji Xiaoli really think she could stump her?
When Shen Wei's fans who were watching the live - broadcast saw this, they immediately started spamming comments about how amazing their idol was.
Looking at the scrolling comments, Ji Xiaoli couldn't help but smile. If Shen Wei didn't even know such a question, she would truly be good - for - nothing.
"Contestant, please listen to the question. How can you quickly remove the fuzz from peaches using physical methods?" (I made this question up. Don't scold me!)
Remove the fuzz from peaches physically? Didn't all the peaches get peeled by the assistants and then served to her? Shen Wei's mind went blank. She had absolutely no idea how to answer this question. Although she usually liked to eat fruits, she had never done it herself, let alone remove the fuzz physically. Now faced with such a question, Shen Wei was at a loss.
"I don't need to answer such a daily - life question. I prefer more professional ones."
To save face, Shen Wei tried to find an excuse. The professor who set the question frowned. The professor clearly sensed that Shen Wei was all bark and no bite. How could she not know such a common - sense question? Some people might not know, but Shen Wei claimed to be a top student.
"Okay, then let's move on to the next question..."
The host flipped through the question cards helplessly and soon it was the next question.
"Contestant, please listen to the question. In which year was our country's first artificial satellite developed?"
The first artificial satellite? What was that? Shen Wei had never paid attention to such issues. So when she heard this question, cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Shen Wei began to wonder what kind of program this was. Why were there so many random questions?
"I heard you're a top student. Can't you even answer such a basic question? Well, maybe your major isn't related to this." Ji Xiaoli gloated. Her voice was soft, but Shen Wei heard it clearly.
Today was supposed to be a great opportunity for her to gain fame and promote her top - student persona. But now Ji Xiaoli had turned this program into a place for her to make a fool of herself.
On the stage, Shen Wei clenched her fists, but she just couldn't answer this question. After the host counted down the time and found that Shen Wei really didn't know the answer, he had no choice but to move on to the next question.
"Wait a minute. I hope I can have a PK with Ji Xiaoli. Since different people have different areas of expertise, I hope we two can compete together and each question should be different."
Just as the host was about to say something, Shen Wei suddenly stood up and announced that she wanted to have a PK with Ji Xiaoli.
The whole program crew was in an uproar, and the people watching the live - broadcast on their screens were also shocked. The investors were excited at this moment. They were sure this would bring in high ratings.
"Are you sure you want to compete with me?" Ji Xiaoli tilted her head, as if double - checking whether Shen Wei had lost her mind.
Shen Wei replied firmly, "Only through comparison can we tell who is better. Why are my opponents these doctors?"
After Shen Wei said this, her fans on Weibo were also discussing.
"Yes, our sister is so great. Why does she have to compete with those professionals? She should compete with someone on her level."
"Come on, Sister Shen Wei! We're all rooting for you!"
The online comments made others laugh. Based on Shen Wei's previous performance, they were just waiting to see a good show.
Ji Xiaoli was one of the program's organizers. After hearing what Shen Wei said, she readily agreed. It was a good chance to increase the program's ratings, so why not do it?
Just like that, Ji Xiaoli and Shen Wei stood on the stage, staring at each other. Ji Xiaoli was wearing a women's suit today, looking extremely energetic. In contrast, Shen Wei looked like a peacocking peahen coming to a party. But Ji Xiaoli didn't react to Shen Wei's outfit. Instead, she nodded at the host.
"Okay, there was a little accident on the stage, but now it's resolved. Let's listen to the next question."
The host was an experienced person in the live - broadcast field. Although there was an unexpected situation, he didn't mess up. He quickly started asking questions to the two of them.
"Question. When did hybrid rice first appear?"
Ji Xiaoli pressed the answer button without even thinking. "1973."
What was hybrid rice? Weren't all rice the same from the beginning? Shen Wei couldn't believe her ears. Why were the questions they asked getting weirder and weirder?
After answering three questions, Shen Wei found that no matter what the question was, Ji Xiaoli could answer it accurately. But she herself couldn't answer a single question. To prove that it wasn't just about speed, Ji Xiaoli deliberately didn't press the answer button in a few rounds. But even when Shen Wei managed to get the chance to answer, she still couldn't say a word.
On the screen, Shen Wei's fans began to suspect something was wrong.
"Ji Xiaoli must have done something in the program crew! They gave her pre - arranged questions!"
Soon, a fan came up with a new way to defend Shen Wei and quickly spread the news. After hearing this, others also accused Ji Xiaoli of cheating and making their Shen Wei suffer.
After reading a few pages of the comments, the director quickly told Ji Xiaoli about this unexpected situation. Ji Xiaoli laughed after hearing it.
"Since you think I'm cheating, how about this? Let your fans come up with the questions, and you answer them yourself. What do you think?"
Shen Wei, who also suspected Ji Xiaoli of cheating, was overjoyed to hear that Ji Xiaoli seemed to be giving up so quickly.
"Sure. Don't you ever regret this."
It was just randomly selecting people to ask questions. The technical department quickly made some minor adjustments to the previous program.
More and more people were coming into the live - broadcast room. They weren't just fans of Ji Xiaoli and Shen Wei, but also many onlookers. They had heard that Shen Wei, who had a top - student persona, was going to make a fool of herself. And now there was this new development. They were eager to see what would happen.
As the number of people in the live - broadcast room increased, the difficulty of the questions also grew. Ji Xiaoli wasn't worried at all. Looking at Ji Xiaoli like this, Shen Wei secretly decided that she must come up with a very difficult question later to stump Ji Xiaoli and make her lose face.
"Okay, now please listen to the question..."
