Chapter 874 1 It’s too late

"You...you are the director?"

Xue Ying was completely stunned and looked at Yang Shuli in panic.

At this time, a middle-aged man who came with Yang Shuli came to Xue Ying and said solemnly: "Ms. Xue, in this competition, you are suspected of bribing technicians and judges, making false scores, and defrauding the title of champion.

"After urgent consultations between our station and the program director, in order to ensure the fairness of the competition, we have decided to cancel your championship qualification and take back your trophy and certificate!"

Before Xue Ying finished listening, her face turned pale in an instant. She staggered back two steps, shook her head in panic and said, "No... No, I am the champion..."

Two staff members came forward and took the trophy and certificate from her.

Yang Shuli said solemnly: "After investigation, it was found that contestant No. 6 Xue Ying was suspected of bribing the technicians, judges, directors, and several relevant persons in charge of our program team. During the competition, she was given false scores and illegally given points, which made her the champion of this competition.

"Based on the above circumstances, our station has discussed with the program team and decided to cancel Xue Ying's championship qualification and ban her from participating in such competitions for life!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience burst into applause.

Except for Xue Ying's family and friends, all the other audience members stood up and cheered loudly.

"In addition, according to the technicians, one of the contestants' scores was intentionally lowered during the scoring process, causing the competition to be unfair. Therefore, the program team decided to restore the voting data and give everyone the truth!"

Yang Shuli said a few more words, and the whole audience suddenly became excited.

Although he didn't say who the contestant whose score was deliberately lowered was, everyone had already guessed with certainty that it must be Lu Xiaowan.

Because Lu Xiaowan's score was ridiculously low.

Then, two security guards pushed the dejected young man to the front of the stage and handed him a microphone.

"I am the data technician for this competition. I admit that the data of two contestants were falsified. Xue Ying's data was adjusted upward by more than 300 points, and Lu Xiaowan's score was adjusted downward by more than 200 points..."

The man told the inside story with a frustrated look on his face.

"Before the provincial competition began, Xue Ying's family found me and promised to give me one million yuan so that I could falsify the data and help her win the championship. Later, Xue Ying gave me another half a million yuan so that I could lower Lu Xiaowan's score and eliminate her from the top eight..."

After hearing what the technician said, many people in the audience became upset and began to question him.

"Don't you feel guilty for doing this? One million and a half million, you almost ruined a person's life, have you thought about the consequences?"

"The entire entertainment industry is in such a mess because of parasites like you, causing the public to lose confidence in these talent shows!"

"The TV station must conduct a thorough investigation. All the relevant responsible persons must be found out and the contestants must be given an explanation!"

Seeing the people’s outrage, the technician lowered his head and was speechless.

What he faces is not just a simple matter of returning the stolen money. The TV station will inevitably sue him, so he cannot avoid operating the sewing machine.

At this time, a Mediterranean man came hurriedly from the backstage with some documents in his hand, walked to Yang Shuli, and whispered something in his ear.

Yang Shuli nodded and said softly, "Leave it to the host to announce it again."

What this Mediterranean man holds in his hand is real voting data.

"Please be quiet. Regarding the issue of cheating by some contestants in this competition, our station will conduct a thorough investigation and publish the results of the investigation and the decision on the handling on our official website in a timely manner. We will also produce a special program to publicly apologize to all the people and contestants for this incident.

"The technical department has now restored normal voting statistics. Now, please invite the host to re-announce the final rankings of this final."

Yang Shuli glanced at all the audience and spoke slowly.

The audience burst into applause again, and Yang Shuli and all the staff went off the stage.

Before walking off the stage, Yang Shuli came to Lu Xiaowan, bowed slightly, and said with deep regret: "Ms. Lu, I'm sorry. I apologize to you on behalf of the entire TV station for what happened tonight."

Lu Xiaowan, who was in a trance, was startled and said quickly: "No... No, thank you, Director..."

Yang Shuli smiled slightly, "In fact, my son is also your fan. He just called me and complained to me. Well, we will meet again if there is a chance."

Lu Xiaowan was flattered and quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Director, thank you, Mr. Yang..."

Watching Yang Shuli and his men leave, Xue Ying stood on the stage with a very ugly expression.

She had just reached the peak, but now she had fallen to the bottom. This feeling of loss was hard for her to accept.

She never dreamed that things would develop to this point.

She originally thought that with the financial resources of her Xue family, she could easily win the championship of this competition and become a star.

However, some of them became illusions.

Not only did she lose the championship, she was also banned from participating in competitions for life. All her hopes were completely lost.

She knew in her heart that she might have offended someone she shouldn't have offended.

Thinking of this, she subconsciously glanced at Zhao Ruyu.

But even if I regret it in my heart, it's too late.
