Many people began to despise him!
However, there were many people with discerning eyes who did not believe it!
Big Sis Zhou said angrily, "Little Zhang cheated? Bullsh * t! "
"Does Little Zhang even need to cheat?" Auntie Sun was also furious, "Who reported it? Who is so wicked? "
Seeing Zhang Ye's reputation being slandered, Xiao Lu's eyes turned red, "We did come up with ideas! But it was all nonsense! Teacher Zhang relied on his own abilities during the preliminaries! "
Hou Ge stood up, "Who would be so sinister!?"
Zhao Guozhou's face sank, "Cheating? Even a fool can tell. How can Elder Qian's miraculous couplet be matched by many people's ideas? As long as one knows a little literature or couplets, they would know that there is no such thing as strength in numbers! "
Tian Bin asked, "Someone is trying to scam Zhang Ye, right?"
"Definitely." Zhao Guozhou took a deep breath, "They really have sinister intentions!"
Hu Fei suppressed his anger, "Some people from the Beijing Writers' Association have fallen to such a despicable state?"
Hou Di also understood, "It must be them. They were the ones who reported it! Look at that staff member who went up to speak. He is from the Beijing Writers' Association! After he said that, the people from the Couplet Organization were all furious. The judges also seemed to be scolding that person to not speak nonsense. The matter is already very clear. This bunch of people from the Writers' Association are deliberately trying to ruin Teacher Zhang Ye's reputation. To accuse Teacher Zhang Ye of cheating in such a live webcast, even if only half of the people believe it, Teacher Zhang's reputation will be gone in the future. Furthermore, by reporting it behind his back, they can prevent Zhang Ye from entering the finals. By not letting him participate, the Beijing Writers' Association's Big Thunder might even win! "
Dafei cursed angrily, "This bunch of grandsons!"
Only Zhang Ye did not speak. He closed his eyes, but his breathing was very rapid. Anyone could tell that Teacher Zhang Ye was also infuriated!
… …
The male host immediately tried to salvage the situation, "Let's wait for the Teachers' discussion."
The female host said angrily, "Teacher Zhang Ye cheated? I'm the first one who doesn't believe it. I saw the preliminaries too. I was not far away. Is saying a few words to a friend considered cheating? Then, all the contestants who used cell phones in the preliminaries should be considered cheating, right? Isn't it possible to send out the questions on your phone and find someone to answer them? Then let's not hold this year's Couplet Competition. It's all considered cheating! "
The male host was about to cry. He secretly gave his partner a look and thought to himself, What are you doing? Isn't it messy enough? And your butt is too crooked!
The female host didn't care. "Let's wait for the results!"
…
The scene became more and more chaotic!
Some were scolding Zhang Ye, while others were supporting him!
In the end, even the female host chimed in and publicly supported Zhang Ye. The situation seemed to have spiraled out of control. Everyone knew that there had to be a resolution to this matter!
Offstage, the people from the Beijing Writers' Association were chattering.
"This kind of person who cheats destroys the fairness and must be dealt with severely!"
"That's right. Otherwise, he won't be able to convince the masses. I think we should just disqualify him!"
"Judges, if we don't punish a morally corrupt person like Zhang Ye, who would be able to accept it? The contestants also have a lot of complaints backstage! "
The woman from the Couplet Organization said with a cold face, "Corrupt morals? What is moral corruption? And the results are not out yet. We are still discussing. Who allowed your Writers' Association's people to go onstage? Who allowed you to expose the entire matter? We haven't even investigated it thoroughly! By releasing your words, are you trying to make it the truth? "
A junior Leader from the Beijing Writers' Association said, "Why is it our problem now? Our comrade spoke too fast. That might not be appropriate, but the truth is that Zhang Ye did cheat. It was recorded very clearly in the video! "
Actually, the Couplet Competition had been held for more than a decade. Every year was about the same. The preliminaries were held outdoors, and there were no restrictions on the contestants using cell phones or communicating with others. This was because they believed that everyone had this basic quality. They would not lower their statuses to cheat. In the past, there had never been any cases of cheating. Although it was not encouraged by the rules, no one would say anything about it. Who knew that something like this would happen this year. This was the first time someone had reported it, and before the investigation was done, the conclusion had been made!
There was definitely something fishy going on!
The people from the Couplet Organization could read it!
The youngest of the three judges was 58 years old. They were all smart people, so how could they not tell that someone was trying to sabotage it?
The second judge, the old granny, said, "The video is evidence? Seeing them communicating with each other is evidence? Then look at the video again. I believe this situation of contestants communicating with others has happened more than once in the preliminaries. Oh, they don't even allow the contestants to speak? "
The Beijing Writers' Association's people said, "But they were discussing the question!"
Elder Qian said forcefully, "Even if they discussed it, my question is not something that can be matched with just someone's advice. Aren't you underestimating me too much? I'm a hundred percent sure that the second half of the couplet was matched by Zhang Ye. It was his wisdom alone! "Saying that, he announced," Let the finals continue! "
The person from the Beijing Writers' Association who had gone on stage to spout nonsense stared, "But Zhang Ye, he …"
"I said, let the competition continue! Listen to you or me? "Elder Qian stared at him," If you are not convinced! You can be the first judge! I'll give this position to you! "
That person did not say another word.
A person from the Couplet Organization said, "I'll inform the host."
Not long after, the male host announced, "The report of Teacher Zhang Ye's cheating has been found to have no evidence. The competition continues."
… …
On the Internet.
Below the live broadcast, the comments were exploding.
"What? There's no evidence? "
"There's a conspiracy! There must be a conspiracy! "
"That Zhang Ye must have cheated! There's no such thing as groundless rumors! "
"I saw it too. That video of the preliminaries seems to have footage of him discussing with a few people. It was captured by chance when Big Thunder's couplet was being filmed. I believe there must have been direct footage, but they did not upload it. They had edited it out! How despicable and shameless! "
"Boycott Zhang Ye! I've long found him an eyesore! "
"That can't be. Teacher Zhang's literary talent is very good. Is there a need to cheat?"
"You can't know a person's face. He's so young, so how can he have such ability? I think his previous poems were probably written by someone else! "
"Didn't that person from the Beijing Writers' Association announce that Zhang Ye had cheated? The Writers' Association is at least an authoritative organization. How can it be fake?"
"That might not be the case."
"It's either a mule or a horse coming out for a stroll."
"Right, let's watch the finals. Without such ability, even if he cheated to pass the preliminaries, he won't be able to get a placing. Haha, let's see how Zhang Ye disgraces himself!"
There were also Zhang Ye's fans who spoke up for Zhang Ye, but they were quickly drowned in the scolding. With this scandal, eight out of ten people watching the live broadcast online were anti-Zhangye!
