The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 187

The mini-game was not difficult at all, and it also bought Qin Wei quite some time. Qin Wei seemed to stop paying attention to the time either, burying her head to solve those questions desperately with a face of indignation.

"Time's up!"

As the host pressed the stop button of the timer, the game came to an end.

Qin Wei's expression was solemn as she put down the pen in her hand.

The three teammates all felt they were done. That was it.

The host picked up the answer sheet and said,

"Miss Qin actually solved them all!"

The three cheered in surprise. They didn't expect Qin Wei to be so capable!

The host continued,

"But we don't know if her answers were right. Now let's reveal the answers!"

The cheerful mood of the three was instantly extinguished as their faces were filled with speechlessness.

"The first question: What's the next number after 100, 200, 300, 400?"

The host said,

"The right answer to this question is 500. Let's see what Miss Qin's answer was!"

What?

Judging by Qin Wei's heavy expression, they thought it must have been some epic difficult question.

But it turned out to be a question of such difficulty...

Although there were four questions...

She actually spent ten minutes on them!!!

Qiao Sixiao mocked,

"If she got this wrong, it would no longer be an issue of whether she's good at math or not..."

Wei Lai nodded and whispered to Qiao Sixiao beside him,

"Sister Qin Wei must have gotten this question right. I believe in her!"

Host: "Miss Qin's answer was 500!! Really amazing!!"

He even applauded vigorously for Qin Wei. Wei Lai and Li Hanming also breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Qiao Sixiao's mouth twitched:

"Of course she would get this question right. This is not her victory, but the victory of compulsory education..."

"The second question: What's the next number after 8, 8, 12, 24, 60? Miss Qin's answer was 180."

Wei Lai was stunned for a moment:

"Isn't the difficulty range of this question a bit too big? Would an elementary schooler know this?"

Li Hanming stood up for Qin Wei,

"Sister Qin Wei has at least graduated from high school..."

Wei Lai turned to ask him in response,

"Do you know how to solve this?"

Li Hanming silently counted with his fingers and shook his head.

Even kids who have just graduated from high school don't know how to solve this, let alone expect Qin Wei to figure it out.

Wei Lai sighed, "Fine! Can't blame Qin Wei if she can't solve this one..."

The host continued, "The answer is 180! Miss Qin is truly amazing!!"

The three blurted out in unison: "There must be some trickery going on here!!"

The host looked at Qin Wei:

"It seems there are still doubts. Why don't you prove it to everyone, Miss Qin?"

Qin Wei picked up her draft paper and said,

"There is a pattern here. The latter number is the previous number multiplied by 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 respectively. Therefore, the number we want is 60 multiplied by 3 which equals 180."

She paused, seemingly afraid that it would be too fast for the audience to comprehend after the show aired. So she stopped to let everyone digest before continuing,

"It can be seen as a variant of the geometric sequence. Have I made it clear?"

The host nodded, "What Miss Qin said makes sense."

Wei Lai was quite surprised and blurted out,

"How did she know that?"

Then realizing it was inappropriate, he quickly shut his mouth.

A smug smile appeared on Qin Wei's face,

"That's because I've prepared for the civil service exam!"

It was not just big talk. She did prepare diligently, reading books on planes and in hotel rooms, taking detailed notes.

It was not that she could not pass the exam, just that she was not allowed to take it.

Although it was a not-so-pleasant memory...

Li Hanming understood this experience the most. Hearing her words, he also recalled the experience of recording a show together back then. He felt fortunate that everything was over, he succeeded in getting admitted to university, and Qin Wei has also come out from her low point and is getting better and better.

...

Next, the host announced the answers to the remaining two questions, which Qin Wei also got right.

Everything proved that Qin Wei's victory relied on her own ability.

These four numbers corresponded to four safe deposit boxes, but only one of them contained something.

The host gave them the four keys corresponding to the numbers.

There was no chasing, but they still had to race against time.

After discussing for a bit, since this was a team battle, they had to cooperate. Although the safe deposit boxes were not ordered according to the numbers here, dividing up the workload to search increased efficiency by quite a lot. Eventually, they succeeded in finding the box before the countdown ended.

[Congratulations on clearing the game!]

[Acquired key information: There is a mole among the four people. Find out who the mole is before the end of the game banquet, otherwise it is considered as failure and the mole wins this round.]

When the last box was opened with a key, today's mission finally ended.

Staff ran over to say "Good work" and arranged transportation for them to return to the hotel and rest.

When Qin Wei got on the vehicle, she still felt a little dazed. She had been chasing and fleeing all day. Now that she finally had free time, on the contrary, she felt a little uneasy.

...

By the time they arrived back at the hotel, the sky was already dark. The program team had ordered dinner for them and asked room service to deliver it, taking the opportunity while Qiao Sixiao was taking a bath to eat an egg and ham sandwich. By the time Qiao Sixiao came out, she pretended to casually look at her phone as if nothing had happened.

Although smartphones were prohibited, because celebrities themselves have many affairs to handle, after communicating a few times, the program team temporarily returned their phones on the condition that they must be handed over when arriving on set.

Qin Wei looked up to see Qiao Sixiao coming over, so she put down her phone and picked up a bowl of salad, saying to Qiao Sixiao,

"I've been waiting for you. Let's eat!"

Qiao Sixiao looked at her without rushing to eat the salad in her bowl.

"Qin Wei, your acting skills are quite good. How come you lack confidence in acting?"

It was rare to hear Teacher Qiao praise herself, and Qin Wei's mood improved a lot. She thought Qiao Sixiao must have been referring to their opposing performance this afternoon. So she asked,

"Quite good? I didn't feel anything myself, and I was a little nervous..."

"I'm talking about right now."

Qiao Sixiao reached out her finger and poked the corner of her mouth gently,

"Life seems to be going smoothly. What did you eat that left mayonnaise?"

After speaking, she took out a tissue to wipe her hand while looking at her.

"A sandwich... but there was cucumber, shrimp and a little egg in it. I was too hungry..."

Qin Wei surrendered. After all, she had told Qiao Sixiao that she would diet and exercise while controlling her diet, especially for this last meal of the day. She had persisted for not long before breaking the rules again.

She secretly asked the hotel to send her a salad and a sandwich.

She didn't expect to expose herself so soon.

"Just eat if you want to eat."

Qiao Sixiao didn't mock her either, only telling her,

"Only eat less of the high-calorie sauces. Also, eat more and eat richer breakfasts. That way you won't be as hungry throughout the day."

Qin Wei kept nodding like pounding garlic, and kept saying "Got it."

When one stands under the eaves, one has to bow. Whatever the other person says goes. Moreover, the other person really has her best interest in mind.

It was not that Qin Wei was ungrateful. It was just that her mouth and stomach could not be controlled. She just had the urge to eat more when she felt hungry, and could simply not endure until breakfast the next day.

Qin Wei felt that Qiao Sixiao's self-discipline deserved her to be deified.

After eating, the two sat at opposite ends of the sofa, busy with their own things. Qiao Sixiao was busy dealing with work, while Qin Wei was busy catching up on updates of her online novels.

"What are you watching?"

After Qiao Sixiao finished her work, she turned her head and saw Qin Wei on the other side of the sofa with a solemn expression. So she casually asked her.

Qin Wei sighed while still staring at her phone screen and said,

"Li Yao told me that the person who spread the rumor that I was being kept by a wealthy businessman has been punished. I was just checking the hot search. His apology letter has been pinned to the top of his Weibo account, and he has also accepted other penalties."
