Chapter 2642: Twins
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Could it be that Qiao Weiyang really relied on her connections to win this award?
Qiao Weiyang’s face darkened. “Old Zhang, when did I give you money? Where’s your evidence?”
“Hahahaha, I already said that you might be joking. Young people shouldn’t be so angry. It happened so quickly that I didn’t leave any records.”
Zhang Yannian looked like he didn’t take it seriously and spoke in a joking tone, but every word was slandering Qiao Weiyang.
As a judge of this award, his words were definitely more trustworthy than Qiao Weiyang’s.
It was obvious that he was deliberately slandering Qiao Weiyang.
Such words were really brilliant. Not only did he shirk his responsibility, but he also put Qiao Weiyang in an unexplainable situation.
When the other judges heard this, it was not convenient for them to speak up for Qiao Weiyang. Otherwise, they would feel like they were going to be dragged down as well. It was as if speaking up for Qiao Weiyang was equivalent to them accepting Qiao Weiyang’s bribe.
Qiao Weiyang knew how serious the consequences were now that these words had been said!
She immediately said, “I request that the six judges publicly release their scores to correct the situation! Old Zhang, if you can’t produce evidence and continue to slander me, I have the right to ask you to apologize in order to eliminate the impact on me!”
Lu Mingjue was sitting beside Su Zhuoqian. Seeing this situation, he said without waiting for Su Zhuoqian’s instructions, “Don’t worry, Boss. I’m around to help deal with this!”
Lu Mingjue immediately walked over and said, “I’ll contact the organizers immediately and get them to reveal the scores!”
“Qiao Weiyang, there has never been such a rule in the past! You can’t look at the scores backstage!” Zhang Yannian stopped her.
“Old Zhang, you’re already slandering me. What’s wrong with me checking the raw data? Should I just let myself be slandered? Can’t I even prove my innocence?” Qiao Weiyang asked.
Qiao Weiyang did not give in to Zhang Yannian’s sudden slander.
Everyone nodded in agreement with Qiao Weiyang. “That’s right. Should Qiao
Weiyang just let herself be slandered?”
“I agree to have the organizers reveal the results in order to convince the public!”
Backstage…
The organizers didn’t want to cause trouble, so they said to Lu Mingjue, “Let’s just take a look at the scores in private. We can’t announce them.”
“Why not? The situation is already very disadvantageous to Qiao Weiyang!”
“Mr. Mingjue, the scores are confidential to begin with. If they’re announced, it’ll be bad for us…
Lu Mingjue sneered. “Really? Since your awards are fair and just, there’s nothing that can’t be announced! Could it be that there’s something fishy about your awards?”
“Of course not! But it doesn’t make sense to announce them!”
“If you don’t announce them, it won’t make sense to Qiao Weiyang!” An elegant voice sounded.
Su Zhuoqian walked in. The organizers were very surprised to see him and shouted in a low voice, “President Su!”
They were much more respectful than before.
“Zhang Yannian is one of you. Since he slandered Qiao Weiyang, Qiao Weiyang can naturally ask you to reveal the scores, right?” Su Zhuoqian asked calmly.
“Yes, yes. We’ll announce the scores to the public immediately!”
The organizers had no choice but to show Oiao Weivang’s score.
In front of Su Zhuoqian, no one had the courage to refuse!
Therefore, everyone saw the scores of the winner of the Best Supporting Actress Award, Qiao Weiyang—9-9, 9.87, 9.88, 9.89, and 9.89. However, Zhang Yannian gave her nine points!
Everyone was a little surprised. He only gave her nine points? That was a low score!
He had even given other supporting actresses 9.88 points.
However, because Qiao Weiyang’s comprehensive data was high, she still suppressed the others by a slight margin and won the Best Supporting Actress Award.
“What’s wrong with Old Zhang? Why did he give Qiao Weiyang such a low score?”
“Fortunately, her overall score is still high.”
“He’s too biased. The scores he gave the others aren’t low!”
Zhang Yannian’s expression was not good either. He said, “It’s precisely because I don’t want to give the award to a female artiste with bad character that I gave Qiao Weiyang a low score! Think about it. She did something to affect the judges. Do I have to give her a high score?”
“Then may I ask Old Zhang when and where I attempted to bribe you?” Qiao Weiyang asked word by word.
Without knowing Qiao Weiyang’s schedule, Zhang Yannian could not say the exact situation.
The other judges couldn’t help but say, “Old Zhang, what do you mean by this? Do you think we accepted something from Qiao Weiyang? We can’t afford such slander!”
“That’s right, Old Zhang. Your words are not only slandering Qiao Weiyang but also us. I have to make it clear that I didn’t know Qiao Weiyang before Twins!”
“I have to prove my innocence too. I’ve never communicated with Qiao Weiyang or her team, let alone met Qiao Weiyang in private! I hope the police will intervene in the investigation!”
The other judges also chimed in. This matter concerned them. No matter what, they could not sit still anymore. Their profession could not be slandered!
Zhang Yannian blushed at the question.
However, he still insisted, “Then maybe I remembered wrongly! Forgive me for being old and muddle-headed. Sometimes, I remember things wrongly. Maybe it’s because someone else did it. I was just mistaken.”
Such a statement obviously could not convince the public.
Qiao Weiyang said calmly, “I want to invite everyone to take a look at the scores Old Master Zhang gave for the Best Actress Award.”
Then, everyone saw the scores Zhang Yannian had given.
The other female leads were given nine points or a little more, but Li Qiru was given 9-99 points!
It could be considered the highest score out of all the awards!
However, the other judges felt that Li Qiru’s acting skills were indeed lacking. It was all thanks to the entire production team that she was able to have a name for herself now. Hence, the scores he gave others were average. Even so, Li Qiru’s overall score was not high.
After the scores were released, everyone was in an uproar. Those who were not blind could tell that Zhang Yannian was deliberately promoting Li Qiru!
Not only did he want to support Li Qiru, but he also wanted to suppress Qiao Weiyang, who was also in the same production team!
Zhang Yannian clearly did not expect Qiao Weiyang to go head-on with him like this. He did not expect Qiao Weiyang to be able to find the organizers and get the raw data!
He was obviously a little flustered and was no longer as confident as before.
Qiao Weiyang said calmly, “Old Zhang, if I’m not wrong, you gave Li Qiru such a score because you want to support her, right?”
