The three words "Teacher Qin" coming out of Jiang Ji's mouth made Qin Qingzhuo feel a little unfamiliar.
It seemed that this was the first time that Jiang Ji called him "Teacher Qin". He had always called him by his name before.
No, it seemed that he had called her that before, and the time was much earlier. Jiang Ji was still holding the photo in his hand, and he didn't know that Ji Chi had cheated on him.
It’s just that when Jiang Ji called “Teacher Qin” at that time, it always carried a hint of sarcasm, but this time, “Thank you” and “Teacher Qin” appeared together, seeming somewhat solemn.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind. Qin Qingzhuo didn't have the energy to think about it now. His intuition told him that there was something wrong with the number of votes.
In the first half, Rough Cloud maintained the lead, but in the last few seconds, the growth of Rough Cloud's votes suddenly slowed down and continued until it was surpassed by City Collapse.
This kind of vote reversal has happened before, such as when Roughface Cloud improvised "The Empty Can on the Corner". But that time it was because Marsara had the first advantage of 200 votes from the mentors, and Roughface Cloud was indeed outstanding in the improvisation session, so all the reversals were traceable.
However, this time... do the supporters of city collapse really have such great power
On the stage, Jiang Ji returned the microphone to the host, then carried his guitar and left the stage with Peng Keshi and Zhong Yang.
The list of the top ten bands of the show appeared on the big screen. The host finished his routine closing remarks, the audience began to leave, and the studio was noisy.
Several mentors did not rush to the backstage. They stood up and chatted for a while while stretching their shoulders and necks. Qin Qingzhuo was not in the mood to chat. He frowned and held the script in his hands, as if he was concentrating on thinking about something.
Seeing his gloomy expression, Shen Qia guessed the reason and leaned closer to him, lowering her voice: "We can't influence the outcome of this kind of thing, so don't take it too seriously."
"You also think they shouldn't lose?" Qin Qingzhuo looked up at her.
Shen Qia shrugged and didn't say anything explicitly, but her meaning was clearly conveyed.
Qin Qingzhuo lowered his eyes and thought for a few seconds, then stood up, took out his cell phone, dialed Xia Qi's number, and then walked to an empty place in the corridor.
Xia Qi quickly answered the phone: "Qing Zhuo, what's the matter?"
"Were the votes for the last match manipulated?" Qin Qingzhuo asked directly.
There was silence on the other end for a few seconds, and then footsteps were heard. Xia Qi must have found a place where no one was around to answer the phone.
"You said you didn't want to be a mentor at the time, so why are you so serious now? Even if you bring out a champion band in the end, your announcement fee won't increase."
She tried to avoid the question by joking, but Qin Qingzhuo refused to change the subject: "Xia Qi, just tell me the truth. I just want to confirm my guess." He said it directly, and Xia Qi couldn't beat around the bush anymore.
She and Qin Qingzhuo have been good friends since college, and her boyfriend Duan Chong, who she has been in love with for many years, is even closer to Qin Qingzhuo. She knows Qin Qingzhuo's character very well. Besides, Qin Qingzhuo agreed to be her mentor because he was giving her a favor.
After a few seconds of silence, Xia Qi sighed, "This kind of thing is inevitable. Don't take it too seriously. This show is called a competition, but it's just a variety show. Who wins and who loses is just a show effect."
