Chapter 28
The comments in the livestream began scrolling rapidly.
[Ahhh, my Brother Mu is the best!]
[Both got 5 votes, so that female contestant only got 0 votes?!]
[I'm so moved. All these years my baby has been criticized for terrible acting, and now he's finally turning things around.]
[I don't understand—with Yao Bianliang's acting skills, how could she possibly get 0 votes?]
Е n̂ǔm̃ а̂ .і̀ď
[So apart from Yao Xinxin who got 7 votes, Mu Taozhi and He Yanning have the highest vote counts?]
[Even casual viewers can't stand this. We understand you want to promote popular celebrities, but not giving a single vote to an actor with real skill is just too much!]

Standing at center stage and hearing the noisy commotion below, Mu Taozhi couldn't help turning his head toward Yao Bianliang.
They had achieved these results because of her.
Yet now, because of them, she was suffering such unfair treatment on stage.
Faced with this situation, the girl's face showed barely suppressed sadness, though she still struggled to maintain her composure.
Е́ n ǔ.m̊ а
A surge of emotions welled up in Mu Taozhi's heart. He didn't know where he found the courage, but he suddenly grabbed the microphone beside him: "Since the voting segment has concluded, I have a question for the production team and all the judges."
Backstage, the director had already relaxed and was preparing for the next face-off.
Hearing Mu Taozhi's words, his upturned mouth corners froze, and his heart skipped a beat.
What was happening?

According to the original plan, the three of them should have bowed and left the stage by now. They weren't supposed to remain on stage, suddenly questioning the production team.
This unexpected development caught everyone off guard. For some reason, the director suddenly had a bad feeling.
En um а̌ .i d̊
Mu Taozhi's gaze fixed straight ahead, like a blade about to be unsheathed: "Esteemed judges, may I ask why Yao Bianliang received zero votes?"
As his words fell, the previously noisy venue gradually quieted down.
The audience, which had been buzzing with discussion, now fell silent, looking toward the stage.
What... was going on?
Was Mu Taozhi questioning the fairness of the judges' voting?!
In truth, almost everyone felt the vote count was somewhat unfair.

But Mu Taozhi's challenge undoubtedly ignited these emotions completely.
It's worth noting that Mu Taozhi had received 5 votes. As someone who benefited from the situation, even he couldn't stand it!
This showed just how terrible the judges' voting results were.
"Mu Taozhi, what are you doing?!" Yao Bianliang looked at him in shock.
She had anticipated someone might question the vote count, but she never imagined that person would be Mu Taozhi.
Thousands of audience members sat below, and the variety show was being livestreamed—tens of thousands could see this scene simultaneously.

How could he cause a scene in this situation? Which part of his brain had malfunctioned?
Yao Bianliang picked up her microphone, trying to speak and ease the tension. However, after pressing the button several times, she discovered the microphone was completely unresponsive.

This couldn't be...
Yao Bianliang looked down at the microphone in her hand. The indicator light showed no response—clearly, it was no longer working.
This situation might have been due to a dead battery, or perhaps a malfunction. But regardless, Yao Bianliang refused to believe this was mere coincidence.
The show's props would certainly have been checked many times by staff before use. Because if mistakes occurred during a live broadcast, staff members would be held responsible.
Ѐ.ńu m̊ a_. і̃d̆
The only explanation was that someone had deliberately tampered with her microphone.
They feared she might cause trouble and disrupt the program, so they simply silenced her.
Upon realizing this, Yao Bianliang almost couldn't catch her breath.
—Did they actually think they were being clever?

They had stupidly targeted her too excessively, resulting in the current situation; and now they wouldn't even let her use the microphone, completely blocking her last avenue of escape.
What terrible teammates!
Enum̌а. іd̃
Who was behind this?
Before Yao Bianliang could figure it out, Mu Taozhi's voice continued to resonate.
"Yao Bianliang's acting level is clearly superior to mine and He Yanning's, yet she didn't receive a single vote. In my personal opinion, this is an unfair evaluation."
Everything happened too quickly. By the time they realized it, the audience below was completely shocked.
This was going to cause a scene!
The discussion below grew louder, and the situation subtly developed in an uncontrollable direction. Many people looked toward He Yanning, waiting for his stance.

Under everyone's gaze, He Yanning slightly raised his eyes, a flash of determination passing through his deep gaze.
He picked up the microphone: "That's right, I agree with Mu Taozhi's challenge. Why did she only receive 0 votes?"
With He Yanning's words, the venue finally erupted.
At the same time, the comments section completely boiled over.
[Holy crap! What's going on?]
[I've wanted to say this all along—the judges' evaluation standards were problematic from the start, completely disregarding acting ability.]
W̌e b n о̊ vе̊l E ňǔ m ӑ_
[He Yanning and Mu Taozhi joining forces to back up Yao Bianliang? What has she done to deserve this?]
[Yao Bianliang's character was indeed difficult to make stand out. To laypeople, she might not seem impressive. But if professional judges also ignore her, that's very problematic.]
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
[Laughable! Does anyone actually believe there's no manipulation in variety show judging? It's all predetermined scripts.]
[Damn, my Brother Mu is awesome, openly confronting the production team.]
[I'm curious—who exactly is Yao Bianliang? It must be incredibly deep teamwork for two top celebrities to publicly confront the production team for her sake.]
[I was indifferent to these two young actors before, but suddenly I'm becoming a fan. In this day and age, celebrities willing to speak up for justice are rare.]
Ё n̄ũ m̆ а..і d̆
The comments scrolled frantically, their speed dizzying.
Lu Yanchen's face had completely darkened.
His fingers gripped his phone tightly as he turned to look at the director, his gaze cold as a blade: "Is this what you called foolproof?"
The show's director had completely frozen in place.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
How could anyone have anticipated that He Yanning and Mu Taozhi would challenge them on the spot?
He had originally thought that targeting an insignificant D-lister without backing would cause no problems.
Е nů m̈ а . іd
But now it seemed Yao Bianliang wasn't without backing at all; her support was clearly substantial!
The director couldn't understand why Mu Taozhi and He Yanning would do something that harmed others without benefiting themselves.
They were the beneficiaries, yet they had turned around and stabbed the production team, putting the variety show and all the judges on the hot seat.
However, with the situation so urgent, there was no time to think further.
Cold sweat had already formed on his forehead: "S-sorry, Young Master Lu, I'll think of something immediately."
Unless absolutely necessary, the director was reluctant to cut the livestream.

Once cut, it would only make them appear more guilty, essentially telling everyone—their judges' voting was unfair.
He took a deep breath and immediately notified the judges in the recording venue through his earpiece.
"Teacher Wei, you created this situation, you can't just sit by and watch!"
If Wei Yan had followed the original plan and given Yao Bianliang one vote, even if people had complaints, they wouldn't have reacted so intensely.
Wei Yan's expression was equally unpleasant now.
After all, just moments ago, he had clashed with Yao Bianliang, refusing to give her a pleasant response and instead giving his vote to Mu Taozhi.
Е n̈u ṁ.а̃
Now Mu Taozhi's words weren't simply showing ingratitude; they were publicly slapping him in the face.
Hearing the director's instructions, he took a deep breath and picked up the microphone: "Mu Taozhi, we've all witnessed the efforts you and He Yanning have made during this period, and we've all taken note of your acting improvements."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"We voted for you partly because we appreciate your acting, and partly to encourage you."
"Yao Bianliang's acting has always been good. I believe that even without our encouragement, she can continue to perform steadily."
With these words, he not only explained the reasoning behind their decision but also emphasized his appreciation for her.
As they say, one doesn't hit a smiling face. If in this situation Mu Taozhi still opposed him, it would seem quite ungrateful.
Ē nû m̀ а . i d̆
Unfortunately, he was mistaken. Mu Taozhi didn't follow his line of thinking at all.
He bowed and then said earnestly: "Thank you, teacher, for your recognition. But in that case, what are our program's final judging criteria?"
He paused, then continued: "Should rankings be based on the degree of improvement rather than the contestants' actual abilities?"
Wei Yan: "......"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
[Exactly, a show that competes on acting skills, not looking at acting level but at improvement space—this is pure nonsense.]
[Wei Yan's words are truly laughable. In the future, let's not compete on acting skills at all; let's just see who works harder and improves more.]
W еb̂ňо v́ el̄ Еn̆u m̊ ӓ
[What about those actors who are already good? Their acting is already excellent, so they literally have no room for improvement.]
Mu Taozhi: "Teacher, I'm very grateful for your appreciation, but isn't this judging standard somewhat biased?"
"It's like a poor student suddenly scoring 80 points, and the teacher keeps praising them, even naming them an outstanding student representative; while another good student studies diligently every day, consistently scoring 90 points, yet the teacher considers this expected and completely ignores them."
"Do you think that's fair?"
Wei Yan's face darkened with embarrassment.
The director's voice came through the earpiece, urgent, seemingly asking him to say something else.

But Wei Yan was too preoccupied with his own anger to care much.
He coldly removed his earpiece, no longer listening to the production team's arrangements, and continued speaking.
Wei Yan: "Personally, I don't think Yao Bianliang's performance was particularly outstanding this time. Compared to the female lead in 'To Our Youth,' her performance this time had no highlights. Not only did she show no improvement, but her state has severely declined."
"Under these circumstances, not giving her votes isn't wrong!"
Mu Taozhi was so angry he felt internal injury. As he opened his mouth to say something, He Yanning had already spoken first.
"She performed without highlights because that was the character's design," He Yanning's tone was calm, but his words showed no sign of compromise. "She didn't perform the character too well or steal the spotlight; instead, she deliberately restrained her brilliance. Isn't that good enough?"
Е̃n u ḿа
"When playing the female lead in a youth campus drama, she could portray that tenacity and struggle, shining brightly all over; when playing a supporting role as a policewoman, she could also embody that unnoticed, underappreciated state. The contrast precisely demonstrates her outstanding acting skills."
"If you disregard character personality and story background, arbitrarily judging an actor's performance, I believe such an attitude lacks professionalism."

At this point, He Yanning paused slightly before continuing: "To my knowledge, in the first director's performance, the judges gave a certain contestant 7 votes, but now they're unwilling to give Yao Bianliang even 1 vote."
"Following the teachers' logic that whoever improves more gets more votes, does this imply that contestant's acting improvement is infinitely greater than Yao Bianliang's?"
[Hahaha, this is killing me—'infinitely greater,' that's rich.]
[I've been wanting to say this—Yao Xinxin's performance got 7 votes? Are they joking?]
Е̇ n̈ ům а . ї d
[Hmph, this Wei Yan is only sitting up there being called 'teacher' because of his seniority and luck. If you ask me, his acting might not even match up to Yao Bianliang's.]
[The production team clearly intended to promote celebrities like He Yanning and Yao Xinxin to make money, not expecting they'd refuse to go along with the corruption. Hehe, they've stumbled now, haven't they?]
[This is truly unfair! Yao Xinxin gets 7 votes, He Yanning and Mu Taozhi get 5 votes, while Yao Bianliang only gets 0 votes... What, is your voting method based on giving more votes to whoever acts worse?]
[Hahaha this is killing me, following this pattern, maybe their voting standard really is like that [dog head emoji]]

Comments scrolled by rapidly. Due to the livestream fiasco, the trending topics related to the "Good Drama PK Competition" instantly skyrocketed.
More and more viewers flooded into the livestream, including many drama-loving spectators. The discussions at the venue grew increasingly loud, showing signs of spiraling out of control.
When Lu Yanchen saw He Yanning mention Yao Xinxin, his expression had already completely darkened.
He never imagined things would reach this point, even dragging Yao Xinxin into it.
Cold sweat broke out on the director's forehead, his face turning pale. If they allowed this situation to continue developing, it would be truly over.
"Young Master Lu, we... this..." the director trembled.

Lu Yanchen took a deep breath and finally gave his orders with a grim face: "First shut down the livestream—suspend this broadcast immediately!"
