Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

"I had no choice, I was forced into it," Tian Suining said helplessly.

The audience responded with sympathetic laughter to Tian Suining.

Chen Jinchu tried to smooth things over, saying, "Cockroaches are also a medicinal herb, and they can be eaten. When it really comes down to it, for the sake of humanity's future, let's just treat it like taking medicine. Okay, let's get this over with quickly, and now let's leave it to Yaoyue and Shigao on the other side."

Li Yaoyue and Fang Shigao both laughed. Li Yaoyue said, "Hopefully, the questions we have won't involve eating anything weird."

Contestant number 4, Xu Qingcen, stepped forward and approached Li Yaoyue and Fang Shigao, saying, "Good evening, emcees."

"Good evening, Miss Xu." Fang Shigao took out an envelope. "Miss Xu, please draw a topic for yourself first."

Li Yaoyue said, "Miss Xu, would you like to pray for yourself first?"

Xu Qingcen said, "No need for prayers, but I've heard that Brother Yue has always had good luck. How about you draw one for me?"

"I'd love to try my hand at a lottery, but if I draw a bad one, I'm afraid you'll call me a jinx."

"No, I believe in Brother Yue."

Fang Shigao interjected, "It's no use believing me; the rules don't allow it. Miss Xu, it's either your turn or your fate. Come on—"

Xu Qingcen reached out and, with a look of grim determination, pulled out a letter from the bottom.

Li Yaoyue took it and opened the envelope.

After reading it once, Li Yaoyue said, "Although this question doesn't require eating, it does ask you to sell things. Miss Xu, do you have any sales experience?"

"No, I only have experience counting money," Xu Qingcen said with a smile. Her profession is a bank employee.

"Then please listen carefully to the question, Miss Xu—if you were a comb seller, what method would you use to sell combs to a bald man?"

Xu Qingcen replied, "I told him that combing his hair with my comb would make his hair grow longer."

Fang Shigao couldn't help but laugh out loud, "He's a bald guy, not a fool. Do you think he'll believe everything you say?"

Xu Qingcen quickly added, "What I mean is that combing your hair can massage acupoints and unblock meridians. Maybe if you comb your hair, your meridians will be cleared, your blood and energy will be sufficient, and your hair will grow back."

“That makes some sense, but before you say that to the bald guy, I hope you consider his temper. If he has a bad temper, you might get beaten up before you even finish your sentence,” Li Yaoyue said. “Please ask Miss Xu to return to the group first.”

Next up was number 5, Hu Xiaoxiao. She walked up to the two emcees with a radiant face and greeted them politely.

Zhong Boding looked up at Hu Xiaoxiao's stunning beauty, feeling a mixture of love and hate.

Driven by selfish motives, he couldn't help but tease her, "Miss Hu, look at the colors of our clothes, aren't they interesting? It's like that old saying, 'A beautiful flower stuck in something.'"

Chen Jinchu couldn't help but glance at Zhong Boding.

Hu Xiaoxiao was wearing a dark green cheongsam, a color that can easily make someone look older. But on Hu Xiaoxiao, whose skin was so fair it practically glowed, it didn't make her look old at all; instead, it accentuated her flawless, snow-white complexion.

Hu Xiaoxiao glanced at Zhong Boding's red outfit: Did he mean he was a flower and was mocking her for wearing cow dung?

Hu Xiaoxiao smiled and didn't seem angry at all. Instead, she sincerely thanked Zhong Boding and said, "Thank you, thank you for praising me as a flower."

She first called him a flower, so he's the lump...

The audience clearly understood the implied meaning and burst into laughter.

Zhong Boding had intended to make things difficult for someone, but instead, he found himself outmaneuvered. Embarrassed, his face turned red. In a panic, he tried to cover for himself: "Where are the green flowers..."

Chen Jinchu suddenly interrupted him, smiling broadly, and said, "Miss Jiali isn't a flower, but do you, a grown man, want to be one? If you like things to be a little more colorful, why don't you go backstage and change into some floral underwear before coming up here?"

The audience's laughter intensified, which also resolved the issue, leading them to believe that it was the host's doing that created the effect.

Zhong Boding dared not act recklessly again.

Chen Jinchu took out envelopes and asked Hu Xiaoxiao to draw a question. Hu Xiaoxiao glanced at them, took the top one, and handed it to Chen Jinchu.

Chen Jinchu said, "It seems that Miss Hu is very confident."

"Being able to stand on this stage is where I am most confident."

"Being confident is a good thing; confident girls are the most beautiful." Chen Jinchu opened the envelope, glanced at the question, and said, "Miss Hu, please listen to the question. This question is related to a famous novel. Please listen carefully to the question."

Hu Xiaoxiao listened attentively as Chen Jinchu read the questions.

"If you were Pigsy from the novel 'Journey to the West,' how would you persuade Tang Sanzang to give up his journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures and let you return to Gao Village to marry and have children?"

Hu Xiaoxiao recalled the "Journey to the West" that the original owner had read. After regaining her memories, she gave a very contemporary answer: "I would tell Tang Sanzang that people don't walk anymore. They have to be efficient in everything they do. If you want the true scriptures, just send an email to Buddha and have Buddha send the scriptures to you via email. That would be much more efficient."

“Interesting, very interesting.” Chen Jinchu then asked, “Then the second question, how did you convince Tang Sanzang to let you return to Gao Village to marry and have children?”

Hu Xiaoxiao replied, "I will tell Tang Sanzang that since you have obtained the true scriptures, there must be many people who need to read them. So, if I go back and have more children, then there will be more people who can read the scriptures and spread Buddhism."

"This will work?" Chen Jinchu was amused by Hu Xiaoxiao's answer. "Alright, if I were Tang Sanzang, I would definitely agree to your request. Please return to the group, Miss Hu."

After thanking her, Hu Xiaoxiao gracefully returned to the group in her high heels.

Contestant number 6, Ye Qiaomei, stepped forward, walked to Li Yaoyue and Fang Shigao, and greeted the two emcees.

Fang Shigao glanced at Ye Qiaomei's number 6 and said, "Miss Ye, you were able to draw the auspicious number 6, which means you are a lucky person. I hope you continue to have good luck and draw a good question."

Ye Qiaomei thanked her and said, "Thank you, I appreciate your kind words."

Li Yaoyue took out the envelope and let Ye Qiaomei draw a question.

Ye Qiaomei randomly picked up a letter and handed it to Li Yaoyue.

After Li Yaoyue unfolded the letter, he said, "Wow, this question is a bit long. Miss Ye, please listen carefully."

The passage reads: "If a man keeps staring at you, and you think he's interested in you and wants to harass you, then without saying a word, you go up to him and slap him, and in front of many people, you call him a pervert."

The man then explained that he had been staring at you because you had a grain of rice on the corner of your mouth. How would you defuse this awkward situation?
