Surprise! The top graduates from Peking University and Tsinghua University are actually supported by

"I am honored to receive this award. First of all, I would like to thank my teacher Cui Yiwen. Without her guidance, I would not have achieved what I have today. Secondly, I..."

Chen Ruoyao was about to thank her parents and the program team, but for some reason a magical voice sounded in her ears, bewitching her mind. She changed the direction of her speech unconsciously, "I want to thank my parents for spending most of their savings to bribe the organizing committee, so that I could skip the auditions and go directly to the regional competition, saving a lot of time to prepare for the finals. I also want to thank the gunman introduced by Teacher Cui for writing such a wonderful speech for me, so that I can completely crush Yi Jie. Who told her not to stay where she should be, but to show off everywhere..."

"What is she doing! Is she crazy?" Wang Heng collapsed to the ground in despair.

Director Yu almost fell to the ground in the director's room. "What are you doing standing there? Your brain will be lost if you don't use it! Quick...cut the commercials!" The first accident was to save the ratings, and the second one would damage the reputation. How could the TV station protect itself in front of the organizer? He must be very unlucky to encounter such a thing! The entire director's room was silent, not daring to say a word to avoid bad luck, and carried out the order.

The audience in front of the TV and the netizens watching the program were immersed in this shocking news. Before they could recover from the shock, an advertisement suddenly came in. What? Chen Ruoyao hadn't even finished her words, and you put in an advertisement? The black-hearted organizers and program team were scared, right? The audience who could access the Internet entered various major platforms one after another to become keyboard warriors, criticizing the organizers in all aspects.

For the first time, the audience felt that the performance was worth the money. They were overwhelmed by the performances. Yi Jie's failure to win the first prize was outrageous. Fortunately, the retribution came quickly. It was a good thing that there must be some shady dealings, and even the places in the competition could be bought. Most of them have been supporters of this competition for many years. It's unlucky to think about it.

Zhang Peiyao and Zhang Wenli were also shocked by Chen Ruoyao's amazing move. They looked at each other. Alas, they were still juniors after all. They felt bad about this situation. They didn't know what Zhang Huimin was like now.

Zhang Huimin, who was originally beaming in the audience, rolled her eyes and fainted after hearing Chen Ruoyao's first sentence of the truth. Chen Xiangqun was shocked and angry. In front of him was the fainted Zhang Huimin, and in his ears was the insane words of Chen Ruoyao. His face and dignity were completely lost, and he couldn't do anything to vent his anger. No one in his family could make him worry!

He resigned himself to calling the security guards to help carry Zhang Huimin out of the venue, as he really couldn't do it alone. Chen Lili, no matter how dumb she was, knew it was best not to say much in this situation, so she followed him out obediently. At the door, she looked back at Chen Ruoyao who was still talking on the stage, and a little joy rose in her heart, but she quickly shook her head in fear, wondering how she could think that.

"Student Chen Ruoyao was a little too excited, so her speech was confusing." After a long period of numbness, Chen Xiao heard Director Yu's roar in the headset, "You are standing there and want me to come out and control the situation!", and suddenly woke up. With a headache, she snatched the microphone from Chen Ruoyao's hand to speak. Is it okay for her to not make this money?

"Let's applaud Chen Ruoyao. Next, please invite the second prize winner Xia Zhiran to give his acceptance speech." Chen Xiao pulled Chen Ruoyao, who was still standing like a fool, to the back and invited Xia Zhiran to come forward.

Xia Zhiran walked to the front with a sneer and smashed the trophy in his hand heavily to the ground. There was a loud crash and the entire trophy shattered into pieces.

"I feel extremely ashamed to win a prize in such an unfair and shady competition. I don't even want the trophy!"

There was warm applause from the audience, and everyone cheered for Xia Zhiran's upright character.

Chen Xiao felt that he might have suffered a setback in his hosting career.

With a lowered head and sad eyes, he said a few auspicious words to congratulate Yan Mo for winning the first prize. He didn't even dare to let him say his acceptance speech. He announced the successful conclusion of the competition, frantically winked at the staff to turn off the stage lights, and walked to the lounge with a dizzy head.

After Chen Ruoyao came to her senses, she realized what she had said. She no longer pretended to be reserved and started shouting like a shrew, "I was wrong, that's not true!" "I was distracted just now, let me speak again!"

But who would care about her at this time? Even her teammates who had been protecting her didn't want to look at her with disgust. As Chen Ruoyao's companions, they were too embarrassed to stay here any longer.

Yi Jie didn't feel sorry for Chen Ruoyao's current misery at all. She could only say that she had to bear the consequences of her own actions. Xuzhou and Yao Zhiwei sighed. Who could have thought that the original champion candidate would resort to such immoral means behind the scenes? However, on the way back to the lounge, they were smart enough not to ask more about the entanglement between Chen Ruoyao and Yi Jie. After all, it was someone else's private matter.

On the Internet, many topics related to the competition, such as "The inside story of the Elite Cup English Speech Contest", "Yi Jie's speech", "Yi Jie the uncrowned king", "Yi Jie Chen Ruoyao", etc., topped the hot lists of major social media platforms.

Netizens were discussing the issue loudly, and Wenlan spent a huge amount of money on emergency public relations at the beginning, and finally managed to suppress the discussion about Yi Jie not winning first place. However, Chen Ruoyao's behavior made him furious, so he suppressed his temper, contacted the public relations team to increase the cost, and fully controlled public opinion.

"Mr. Wen, I'm really sorry, we may not be able to help you here. Please seek help from someone else." The contact person said this and hung up the phone neatly.

What does that mean? Is this unworkable? He didn't care that his money was wasted, so he immediately contacted the next company, and the same result. After making several calls in a row, he received replies that they could not accept the order.

Wen Lan is not stupid. He is well aware that public opinion is strongly controlled by the state and he cannot interfere with it at will.

"Crackle!" He could no longer control himself and turned into a master of desktop cleaning, smashing all the valuable ornaments into pieces.

When Yi Jie walked into the lounge, Yan Mo and Xia Zhiran were standing in the middle of the room, looking at each other with unfriendly eyes. Teacher Huang and Kenny stood aside with awkward expressions. Kenny saw Yi Jie coming in and quickly pulled her over, "Yi Jie is here, Yi Jie is here, you guys chat inside, let's go out for some fresh air, it's too stuffy in here."

The Xuzhou guys tacitly cooperated with Kenny and walked out of the lounge, leaving Yi Jie, Yan Mo, and Xia Zhiran in silence, with a very strange atmosphere.

"Hello, what do you want to talk to me about?" Yi Jie was the first to break the silence.

"Student Yi Jie, are you interested in studying at Seth High School in the United States? The chance of going directly to Harvard after graduation is as high as 80%. As long as you pass the final exam, the tuition will be waived. In addition, there are generous scholarship subsidies every year, which is enough for you to graduate successfully. If you are willing to become an American citizen, we can guarantee that you can study in any prestigious university in the United States and receive a full scholarship." Yan Mo realized the real purpose of his visit earlier than Xia Zhiran, and extended an invitation to Yi Jie.

"I..." Before Yi Jie finished her words, Xia Zhiran interrupted her with a sarcastic remark.

"Some disloyal and treacherous traitors should stop worrying. Do you think Yi Jie is such a superficial person? She will be bought off with just a few small favors."

"Xia Zhiran, please speak with respect. Everyone has their own pursuits. Don't try to make choices for Yi Jie!" Yan Mosheng said sternly.

Xia Zhiran pretended not to hear Yan Mo's words, took Yi Jie's hand and said affectionately: "Yi Jie, come to Beijing and go to school with me in the Experimental High School. You must know our school. Not to mention the teaching staff, the annual admission rate of the first-class universities is almost the same as 100%, and there are countless seniors who have been admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University. Not to mention the outstanding people in various fields who graduated from the Experimental High School. The school arranges exchange meetings every year.

The dormitory environment is ranked first in Beijing, especially the food in the cafeteria is first-rate! There are all kinds of local cuisines. If you don’t want to stay, you can also come to my house. My parents welcome you very much. I don’t know if you know my parents. In addition, you will definitely not miss out on scholarships..."

"Stop, stop, stop. I understand. So you two are here to recruit students on behalf of the school?" Yi Jie looked at the two of them.

Yan Mo and Xia Zhiran hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"I am very grateful that you think so highly of me. Of course, I also know that your words do not only represent you personally, but I really just want to stay in my current school to study in high school."

Yan Mo and Xia Zhiran wanted to interrupt, but were interrupted by Yi Jie's gesture.

"Please listen to me. My attitude is very firm and no amount of words can change it. And classmate Yan Mo, what you are proposing is even more impossible for me. I will only be loyal to my motherland and have no intention of developing abroad. You should understand after listening to my speech. In addition, I guess those people behind you will not be willing to extend an olive branch to me after today. I have messed up the competition. You made the decision to come to me yourself, right?" Yi Jie's firm words made Xia Zhiran look proud, and Yi Jie glanced at her.

Yan Mo lowered his head. It was indeed as Yi Jie thought, he had acted on his own initiative. He really admired Yi Jie, but he forgot that the two of them were naturally on opposite sides.

"Xia Zhiran, I know you mean well, but I have made up my mind. I can't bear to leave my alma mater, and I can't go to Beijing to study alone, so..."

"I know. I'm mainly annoyed with him and I'm here to compete with him. I understand your thoughts and I won't say anything more. I respect your decision." Xia Zhiran said it very bluntly. Yi Jie actually likes people who say everything openly.

Yan Mo twisted his hands together, ignoring Xia Zhiran's ridicule, and asked Yi Jie in confusion: "But China's educational concepts and practical opportunities are much worse than those abroad, and the development is not as good..."

"Stop, Yan Mo, you don't have to say anymore. I don't want to hear it. You have your ideas and I can't interfere. Times are changing. In my eyes, China has never stopped moving forward and is developing at a rapid pace. I love my country very much and want to do my part for it. It is still unknown who will be stronger and who will be weaker in the future. Don't jump to conclusions." Yi Jie's tone was extremely serious.

Yan Mo's face turned a little pale. He wanted to argue again, but when he looked into Yi Jie's clear eyes, he suddenly felt very unbearable.

"Sorry to bother you." After a few minutes of silence, he said goodbye dryly and left the lounge almost escaping. He was enveloped by shame from the bottom of his heart and could no longer stay.

"Bah!" Xia Zhiran made no secret of her disdain for Yan Mo. Yi Jie was helpless. To put it bluntly, Yan Mo was only sixteen or seventeen years old this year. He must have such thoughts because of the influence of his family. It was a pity, as he was an extremely outstanding young man.

"By the way, Yi Jie, my mother wants to invite you to dinner. Do you have time?" Xia Zhiran looked at her expectantly.

"I have to see what my family has arranged. Can we add each other as friends? Then I'll tell you when it's confirmed?"

"Sure, I'll add you." Xia Zhiran took out his cell phone quickly.

The two chatted for a while. Xia Zhiran seemed to want to talk with her about everything from poetry to the philosophy of life. Yi Jie quickly sent her away on the grounds that her family was still waiting for her outside the venue.

"Then let's chat on QQ." Xia Zhiran tapped the screen of his mobile phone with a bright smile.

"Good."

It was not until Xia Zhiran's brisk figure disappeared that Yi Jie breathed a sigh of relief. He was really too enthusiastic.

Teacher Huang and others laughed at Yi Jie's expression as she finally got rid of the burden.

"Stop laughing! I'm almost dying of exhaustion!" Yi Jie stared at them with her eyes wide open.

"Then you can go and meet your family first. They should be waiting for you outside the venue. Come to the hotel to find me tomorrow and we will have a meeting to talk about the competition. Everyone's performance today was great. I'm proud of you!" Teacher Huang felt quite proud. It was not first, but better than first. It was a very decent result.
