At the age of 38, he went to college and his children were classmates.

Chapter 233, The Undisputed Champion! (Please Subscribe)
Zhang Zhihua and the audience were somewhat bewildered by Shen Qiushan's answer.

Everyone thought he would retort, but to everyone's surprise, Shen Qiushan actually agreed with Ding Dasheng's point of view.

Even Ding Dasheng himself was completely stunned. In his mind, the two should have had a heated debate.

In this way, his on-the-spot banter with Shen Qiushan is bound to trend on social media!
And just like that, the hype started!
Surprisingly, Shen Qiushan didn't respond.

No, it's not that he didn't respond. Shen Qiushan's response was "He's right" both times!
As we all know, this kind of reply is common on the internet, and it is usually used when people think the other party is being unreasonable or is being argumentative.

It's a seemingly agreeable but actually contemptuous approach!
Shen Qiushan actually used this in the live broadcast of the program, and Ding Dasheng knew that Shen Qiushan was looking down on him, but he had no way to respond.

What can you say if someone agrees with your point of view on camera during a live broadcast?

It was as if he had thrown a powerful punch, only to land right on a piece of cotton!
The host, Zhang Zhihua, reacted quickly; after a brief moment of surprise, he immediately understood what Shen Qiushan meant.

This Teacher Shen doesn't agree with Ding Dasheng's point of view at all!
It is blatant contempt.

But given that the program was being broadcast live, he took a mild approach.

This is a master!
He subtly criticized Ding Dasheng without making a scene.

"Next, let's take a look at the voting results of the public jury."

Zhang Zhihua knew Ding Dasheng well, and to prevent the other party from causing any more trouble, he quickly continued with the procedures.

As Zhang Zhihua spoke, the numbers on the large screen behind the stage began to spin rapidly.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, the single digit was the first to be recorded!
It is the number "5".

Next is the tens digit "6".

Unsurprisingly, the hundreds digit fell on "9"!

965 votes!
Of the 1,000 audience members, only 35 did not vote for the Red Rose Band.

"Congratulations to the Red Rose Band! Their performance in this round has been recognized by 965 audience judges!"

"So, the total number of votes for the Red Rose Band in this round is also in the results: 1435 votes!"

"Temporarily ranked number one!"

As the Red Rose Band's total vote count was announced, cheers erupted from the audience.

It's clear that the audience really likes the Red Rose Band.

Of course, it is undeniable that in this live voting format, singing songs that hit high notes or are more energetic makes it easier to get more votes, because it is easier to stir up the emotions of the audience.

For example, the song "Nine Thousand Words" performed by Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo just now.

The combination of DJing and electronic music gives off a cool, carefree vibe—like putting on sunglasses and not caring about anyone!
With the added appeal of Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo's good looks, it was truly a visual and auditory feast, so it's no surprise that they received a high number of votes.

Family quarters.

Chen Qingzhu's face was full of bright smiles: "Momo and Qiushan are currently ranked first, leading the second place by more than a hundred votes!"

"It looks like we have a chance to win the championship."

"Mom, I heard that there are shady dealings in shows like 'Voice of China.' My second sister's band didn't sign with the entertainment company that produced 'Voice of China,' so it's going to be hard for them to win the championship!"

Lin Jiayu stroked his chin and analyzed, then offered his own conspiracy theory.

"I've heard that talent shows are all rigged!"

Shen Yanran echoed this sentiment.

Hearing what the two said, Chen Qingzhu frowned slightly: "This is a live broadcast, they won't do anything reckless, will they?"

"Hard to say~"

Lin Jiayu shook her head: "Anyway, the number of votes is up to the production team."

At this moment, Lin Moxuan, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Where did all these shady dealings come from!"

“If they dare to cause trouble, I will report it to the provincial radio and television station tomorrow.”

Although Lin Moxuan was not very supportive of his daughter's pursuit of music, given the circumstances, he could not bring himself to sabotage her or tolerate her being treated unfairly.

Lin Moxuan, on the other hand, is the director of the education bureau of Sanjiang City, the provincial capital. He has been working in the system for decades and his network of connections is terrifying.

In fact.

Everyone was indeed overthinking it. It's true that there are behind-the-scenes manipulations in talent shows, and there have been instances of rigged competition in programs like "Voice of China." However, for today's live finale, the production team and producers really had no intention of pre-determining the champion.

Of course, it can't be said to be absolutely fair. Zhang Qi and Fan Xiaoyu, two of the top four contestants, signed with Tianxing Entertainment, one of the producers of "Voice of China".

However, the Red Rose Band's popularity is far ahead, and even if Zhang Qi and Fan Xiaoyu were grouped together, the attention they would receive would be less than a fraction of that of the Red Rose Band.

Therefore, Tianxing Entertainment has basically given up on the idea of ​​pushing him too hard.

Because if you force your own people to take the championship under these circumstances, it will backfire. The audience won't accept it, and neither will the netizens.

Not only will it not help to promote someone, it will also attract criticism.

Even the reputation of the program "Voice of China" will collapse.

Such popular national-level variety shows are cash cows for entertainment companies and TV stations, and neither side wants to ruin the show's reputation just to promote a champion!

Therefore, before the finals began, Tianxing Entertainment and the program team had already reached an agreement to try not to interfere with the outcome of the championship.

Unless Zhang Qi and Fan Xiaoyu perform exceptionally well in the finals, and their vote counts are very close to those of the Red Rose Band or another unsigned finalist, then such manipulation might be considered.

Based on the first round of votes, Fan Xiaoyu and Zhang Qi ranked third and fourth respectively!
Fan Xiaoyu, who came in third, received 262 fewer votes than the Red Rose Band.

It will be very difficult to catch up.

The final round of the finals has begun.

This round is a collaborative competition between mentors and contestants.

The four mentors are all established singers with strong personal abilities, and the songs they collaborated on with the contestants were their own representative works.

Under these circumstances, it was actually difficult to widen the vote gap. The mentors performed consistently, and the contestants also performed well under their guidance.

The final round of the competition has ended.

The Red Rose Band unsurprisingly won the championship of this season of "Voice of China".

"Congratulations to the Red Rose Band for winning the overall championship of this season's 'Voice of China'!"

"Please welcome the four mentors to present them with the trophies!"

Zhang Zhihua loudly announced the winner.

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.

Lin Xiamo first excitedly hugged her three teammates, then looked at Shen Qiushan standing to the side.

After hesitating for a moment, she went over and gave Shen Qiushan a big hug.

See this scene.

The cheers at the scene became louder.

Some audience members even shouted "Give me a kiss!"
When Lin Moxuan, who was sitting in the family quarters, saw this scene, he felt as if the sky had fallen.

His face was ashen, and he grabbed his wife Chen Qingzhu's arm with one hand, angrily saying, "Did you see that? Did you see that? That brat Shen Qiushan actually dared to hug Momo!"

"If he dares to hug Momo today, he might dare to do something even more outrageous tomorrow..."

Chen Qingzhu shrugged nonchalantly: "We won the championship!"

"MoMo must be very excited right now. Qiushan is also a member of the Red Rose Band. Isn't it normal for them to hug and celebrate?"

"Look, didn't Tingting and the other two hug Qiushan too?"

Chen Qingzhu pointed towards the stage, and Shen Qiushan actually hugged Hu Tingting and the other two contestants in turn. In fact, he not only hugged Hu Tingting and the other two, but also hugged each of the other four finalists.

"Dad, you're overreacting this time!"

"Anyone who wins the championship will be very excited!"

While taking photos with her phone to record the moment her sister won the championship, Lin Jiayu also cheered on her mother, Chen Qingzhu.

Seeing that his wife and daughter both said so, Lin Moxuan didn't say anything more, but his expression was still not very good.

The scene of Shen Qiushan and his daughter Lin Xiamo embracing kept replaying in his mind.

Then, comparing the hugs between Shen Qiushan and Hu Tingting and the others, I felt that something was not quite right.

When Shen Qiushan hugged his own daughter, he seemed very skilled and held her very tightly, while when he hugged Hu Tingting and the others, he was more polite.

Am I overthinking things?
You just have to think in that direction!

After reaching this conclusion, Lin Moxuan began to doubt himself, because it was perfectly reasonable to hug and celebrate after winning the championship.

Just as Director Lin was agonizing over his own actions, the noisy scene quieted down.

The mentors presented the Red Rose Band with the championship trophy, certificate, and flowers.

Everyone then took a group photo on the stage.

"MoMo, as the lead singer of the Red Rose Band, what would you like to say at this moment?"

Then came the classic acceptance speech segment.

Zhang Zhihua first handed the microphone to Lin Xiamo.

"I want to thank many people."

"First of all, thank you to all the staff of the program team for taking care of our Red Rose Band during the recording of the program."

"Then, I want to thank our mentor, Sister Nian. She is very dedicated to every rehearsal and has taught us many things that we didn't know before!"

"I also want to thank my family, my mother, my sister, and Yanran and Xiaoxiao. They are all very supportive of me!"

"Besides that, I also want to give a special thanks to my dad. Although he didn't quite approve of me forming a band before, he still came to the show today, which gave me a lot of encouragement!"

“Here, I would like to say to him, your daughter has really grown up, and I thank you for taking such good care of me for the past 30 years.”

"From now on, it'll be my turn to take care of you!"

Wow!

Lin Xiamo spoke very sincerely, and many viewers spontaneously applauded.

The live stream camera immediately found Lin Moxuan, who nodded with satisfaction and then gave a thumbs-up to the camera.

Lin Xiamo's special thanks touched Lin Moxuan deeply.

"Finally, I want to thank Shen Qiushan!"

When the noise at the scene subsided a bit.

Lin Xiamo spoke again, her gaze falling on Shen Qiushan as she looked into his eyes and said, "Thank you for writing 'Red Rose,' and also thank you for writing 'The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style' and 'Nine Thousand Words'!"

"Someone just criticized you, saying that making music is a waste of time and a way to lose one's ambition."

"He has no idea why you write songs!"

"I don't understand your romanticism at all, you great writer!"

"But I understand!"

Thank you for everything you've done!

Having said all she wanted to say, Lin Xiamo nodded slightly.

However, some viewers who sensed something was amiss were not having it, and some shouted "Get together!"

Some people were even shouting "Give me a kiss!"
Hearing these sounds, Lin Moxuan's mood, which had just improved, immediately plummeted to rock bottom again.

He looked at his wife, Chen Qingzhu, with a stern face: "Did you hear that? Did you hear that?"

Director Lin started with the same opening line, then said angrily, "What did Momo mean by what she said just now? What is her relationship with that kid Shen Qiushan?"

"This is a live broadcast, saying such vague things can easily be misunderstood!"

Chen Qingzhu gently shook her head: "How would I know!"

"MoMo was just speaking from the heart, or maybe she was standing up for Qiushan and fighting back against Ding Dasheng!"

"You heard what Ding Dasheng said just now. Wasn't he just deliberately picking a fight?"

"It's right for Akiyama to ignore him!"

Chen Qingzhu was a master at smoothing things over, and she directly shifted the topic to Ding Dasheng.

Lin Moxuan frowned. If he had to explain it this way, it wasn't entirely incomprehensible.

on the stage.

Zhang Zhihua then had Hu Tingting, Zhu Xinyue, and Fang Di give their acceptance speeches.

Finally, it was Shen Qiushan's turn: "Teacher Shen, is there anything you'd like to say?"

Shen Qiushan hadn't prepared an acceptance speech, but when the host handed him the microphone, he said, "I just want to thank two people: Ms. Chen Qingzhu and Mr. Lin Moxuan."

"That is, my father-in-law and mother-in-law!"

"Thank you for raising such an outstanding daughter!"

"Because their daughter is so outstanding, I am motivated to become even more outstanding!"

"In addition, they also gave me many invaluable life experiences!"

"Thank you, elders!"

At this point, Shen Qiushan bowed deeply towards the direction of the family quarters.

Chen Qingzhu immediately beamed and couldn't help but praise, "Look at Qiushan, how eloquent he is! He only thanked us!"

Lin Moxuan snorted coldly: "I think this kid is implying something in his words!"

"What do you mean by raising such an outstanding daughter!"

"We have more daughters, three of them!"

"He should have said he nurtured Chuxue! What do Momo and Jiayu have to do with him!"

Director Lin Moxuan was particularly good at spotting details and easily found the grammatical errors in Shen Qiushan's words.

"Dad, aren't you overreacting?"

"Brother-in-law is just thanking you and Mom!"

Lin Jiayu picked up on the conversation, and she felt that her father was being a bit paranoid.

In his view, everything his brother-in-law Shen Qiushan said seemed to have a hidden meaning.

"He'd better be genuinely grateful!"

Lin Moxuan pursed his lips, and just then his phone started vibrating repeatedly.

Lin Moxuan casually opened the message to check, only to find that the senders were his boss and colleagues.

They were all congratulating their family on having a big star, and even the top leader was asking him for his daughter's autographed photo, saying that his daughter was a big fan of the Red Roses band.
