Chen Che looked at Li Mingyu. “In other words, they voted for Jing Ran to be the tour guide. You were eliminated, but my votes are lower than yours. They will think that I will travel with them as a Normal partner.”
“Oh-oh.”
Li Mingyu was enlightened and gave Chen Che a thumbs up.
Jing Ran also said, “That’s good. That’s a good idea.”
Jiang Ying looked at Jing Ran. “After we know the truth, we can pretend that we don’t know and try our best to persuade him to stay.”
Chen Che narrowed his eyes at Jiang Ying. “Sister Ying, your acting skills are definitely passable.”

Haha!

Jing Ran clapped his hands and laughed. Jiang Ying pursed her lips and glared at him. “Are you saying that I’m hypocritical?”
Chen Che nodded. “Yes.”
Jiang Ying’s tone faltered as she looked at the director. “Can I eliminate him now?”
Chen Che stood up calmly and bowed to Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying held back her laughter and dodged. She raised her hand to signal.
Chen Che still pressed his palms together and looked at her pleadingly.
“Hahaha.”
“That’s funny.”
The two youngest children laughed again, but Gong Wanqing did not laugh. She did not even look at Chen Che.
Of course, Chen Che himself was not in the mood to figure out others.
“Then what’s going on with narrowing the voting range?”
Chu Zhengfei quickly asked the second question. It was obvious that she had accepted the first suggestion.
Chen Che explained, “In other words, narrowing the range means that I’ve discussed it with Planner Chu before.
In addition to the 30-minute live broadcast, there was also a face-to-face canvassing segment.
The three campaign guides had to talk to the six members separately. It was already cumbersome and time-consuming. In the end, it had to be edited.
It was better to let each contestant guide meet two members at the beginning and carry out the first round of elimination.
If all the contestants qualified in the first round, a second round of total voting would be held.
“In this way, the audience can gradually accept it. It will be easier to accept it when the last six people vote to be eliminated…”
“What if you’re eliminated in the first round?”
Chen Che turned around. “Of course not…”
Before she could finish speaking, Gong Wanqing, who had been silent the entire time, asked the question.
“It’s a show, after all.”
Chen Che pondered for a moment and looked at Gong Wanqing. “Whether you stay or not is ultimately up to Planning Director Chu. However, the most important thing now is to resolve the controversy caused by the elimination of members.”
Gong Wanqing lowered her head and did not respond, as if the question was not her question or that all of this had nothing to do with her.
Jiang Ying and Jing Ran looked at each other, as if they had sensed something.
Chu Zhengfei turned her head and sized up Gong Wanqing. Then, she looked at Chen Che thoughtfully.
Seeing that Gong Wanqing did not respond, Chen Che turned to Chu Zhengfei. “The audience doesn’t know that my goal for joining is to be eliminated. Even though I’m unknown, I was directly expelled from the show because of the vote. Once it comes true, the audience will easily pity the weak and implicate the members outside of the variety show.”
Perhaps it was unintentional, but the word “cha” sounded harsh to Gong Wanqing’s ears.
She frowned and looked up to find Chen Che talking to Director Chu. The others were also listening attentively.
After a moment of silence, she continued to listen quietly.
Chen Che continued to say to everyone, “As long as you pass the first round, you can just follow the rhythm.”
Chu Zhengfei smiled knowingly and nodded. “I understand. This way, at least two members will be able to accept you from the beginning. From the original six votes to eliminate you, there are only four left. This at least prevents two members from fighting.”
“Are you joking?” Jiang Ying widened her eyes and looked at Chen Che. “Then which four people do you want to eliminate you?”
“You.”
Chen Che pointed at Jiang Ying without hesitation. “It’s you, Sister Ying.”
II
Hahaha!!!

Everyone burst into laughter.
Jiang Ying’s eyes widened. She picked up a pen and threw it over, although it did not really hit.
Other than being able to tell that she had worked with Chen Che before and had a good relationship with him, he could also tell that she had a very straightforward personality.
However, this question was raised too well to be easily avoided.
The laughter gradually stopped, and everyone stopped laughing.
The atmosphere gradually became strange.
Eliminating Chen Che might cause controversy.
This was actually a good thing for the production team.
The scenes of the first two seasons were definitely a big highlight. To a certain extent, this sense of reality was one of Young Master Hua’s Styles, and also an important reason for the attention.
However, no celebrity or artist would easily choose to sacrifice their image.
Chu Zhengfei said, “Everyone, don’t feel pressured. Chen Che’s suggestion is very good and suitable because passing the first two places can deepen your impression. There’s no need to publicize the voting after that. You just have to announce the results.”
Everyone looked at each other and did not say anything.
Jing Ran and Li Mingyu did not speak because they did not have the right to vote.
They were just candidates.
Chen Che smiled and did not speak, but his eyes seemed to pass by Gong Wanqing unintentionally.
“Why didn’t you get eliminated from the beginning?”
As expected, Chen Che sighed inwardly.
Gong Wanqing looked at Chu Zhengfei. “There were two people who could eliminate him from the beginning. Why wait until the last round?”
Everyone was slightly surprised, although it was impossible to compete with her.
However, everyone was already passively waiting for the director’s arrangements, but Gong Wanqing was so proactive?
Just now, he felt that there was something strange between them.
This was not a good thing after all. The director and guests knew that this would definitely cause controversy.
Whoever eliminated a guest, even if the other party was unknown, it was fine.
No one was a fool. The audience naturally understood that inviting a certain someone was just to serve as a foil.
Wasn’t directly eliminating someone a joke?
The production team might take the blame, but it was still behind the scenes.
The person who eliminated others would definitely cause controversy and make people feel distant.
Don’t underestimate netizens. A normal interaction of “let’s go” might attract the attention of the entire Internet. This was not only because the production team helped to encourage it, but also because the netizens were too serious.
Everyone looked at Gong Wanqing strangely, but Gong Wanqing’s expression did not change.
Chu Zhengfei glanced at Gong Wanqing in surprise. “Gong Wanqing, why are you so insistent on eliminating Chen Che in the first round? What’s the reason?”
Gong Wanqing said calmly, “The first round of elimination will only involve two people. This can save the other four members from controversy. Isn’t that better?”
Jiang Ying frowned and subconsciously wanted to say something, but Jing Ran stopped her.
Clearly, there was something fishy about this matter. However, before he figured it out, it did not seem appropriate for him to interfere in other people’s matters.
It might be wiser to choose silence.
Chu Zhengfei thought for a moment and looked at everyone. “Who will those two choose?”
Gong Wanqing replied, “There’s no need for two. One is enough. One will pass and the other will be eliminated.”
She glanced at Chu Zhengfei and then at Chen Che. Gong Wanqing said, “I’ll be in charge of the elimination.”
“Heh.” Chen Che smiled.
At this moment, everyone was even more convinced that they had completely offended someone.
Otherwise, Gong Wanqing would not be so decisive and clearly not let Chen Che stay.
Although no one seemed to have heard Chu Zhengfei’s opinion on whether to let Chen Che stay in his prime,
The reason for that was because everyone knew that the members had determined in advance that it was these eight people.
Everyone looked at Chu Zhengfei in unison, wondering if Gong Wanqing knew what they did not.
‘Well…’
Chu Zhengfei pondered for a moment and nodded. “Alright, let’s record it and see.”
Then, he did not say anything else and explained the details.
After the meeting ended, everyone left and waited for the filming later..
