Chapter 316: 316 Chapter 316: 316 Chu Youxuan’s face stiffened. “Forget it, I won’t argue with you. Anyway, the results are out now. Who won, who lost, who listened seriously—it’s not as simple as just talking about it!”
As she spoke, she looked towards the tea master ahead with an air of superiority. The tea master was also angry because of how Li Xingwan hadn’t listened seriously just now, and because she was now submitting a blank paper. His temples throbbed fiercely.
Therefore, upon meeting Chu Youxuan’s gaze, he immediately announced, “The person who won this time by remembering the content is Ms. Chu, the actress. Second place goes to Celia, third place is Wu Xiaoge, and in fourth place, Li Xingwan.
That is to say! Our overall winner today is Ms. Chu, the actress, and the last place belongs to Miss Li.”
With that, the tea master turned to Li Xingwan: “Miss Li, do you have anything you’d like to say?”
Li Xingwan was silent for a moment. “I think I’ll pass on giving an acceptance speech.”
“Hahaha! She’s really going to kill me with laughter!”
“What to do, my dear fans, I just love her attitude of not taking things too seriously and her way of being a sore loser!”
“She’s just so likable.”
Beyond these voices, there was another kind in the live broadcast room.
“Why do we feel so dissatisfied that Xingwan lost this time?”
“I feel like she lost on purpose?”
“I have that feeling too!”
The fans of Chu Youxuan immediately retorted. “What do you mean she lost on purpose?! Is winning the only thing that defines her?! She’s not all-powerful!”
“Don’t forget, Ms. Chu, the actress, is also very impressive!”
“Our Xingwan is amazing too!!”
The director of the live broadcast, sharp-eyed, noticed these comments. To prove that Ms. Chu, the actress, really won these competitions by skill, without any insider manipulation, he deliberately zoomed the camera in on the guest’s tea trays at the scene.
But he shouldn’t have pushed the camera over; that really blew everything up.
Because on Li Xingwan’s tea tray, the magnates of the Tea Realm could tell at a glance that it was all about the details.
Including the placement of the teacups and teapot and the etiquette involved, as well as how full the tea was poured. If one were attentive, they could recall how Li Xingwan had just finished tasting the tea, as well as her movements while drinking.
On the other hand, looking at Chu Youxuan’s side, the utensils she had used to brew the tea were carelessly thrown on the table, completely lacking the intention of being arranged properly.
So, where did the full marks come from?!
“Did everyone see that?! Did you see?!”
The barrage in the live broadcast sped up, one message after another.
“The arrangement of Ms. Chu’s tea utensils is all wrong. She didn’t follow the tea master’s instructions at all!”
“Just compare her tea tray to Xingwan’s and you’ll see.”
“Mr. Fu hadn’t touched that tea tray at all just now.”
More and more people started noticing the details.
“This show is a scam! This show is a scam, my friends!”
“Just saying, since yesterday Xingwan has been acting so unconcerned, not really playing seriously?! Turns out she wasn’t running towards victory at all!”
“She’s making way for others, my friends!”
“So that’s it! That’s the way it is!”
“Director, come out and get smacked!!!”
“Director, come out!!”
For a while, the live broadcast room exploded into chaos. The director’s face turned ugly at once. This, this was…
Next to him, Jiang Song was somewhat gloating. Serves them right! This really served them right!
Li Xingwan and her group were still oblivious. Chu Youxuan, having won first place, was currently beyond smug.
“Let’s congratulate our Ms. Chu, the actress,” announced the tea master’s voice, awarding her a fine set of tea utensils as a prize. “This set comes from Jingdezhen and is worth tens of thousands. I hope that Ms. Chu will continue to delve deeper into the art of tea drinking.”
“Thank you,” Chu Youxuan responded smugly, glancing in Li Xingwan’s direction. Not so great now, are you? Not so high and mighty, Madam of a powerful family?
