Chapter 411: A Good Show Is About to Begin
"Get out of the car! We want to get out of the car!" Si Rong said to Huang Laoshi immediately, "Listen to what the parent of the student Shen is saying; if it weren't for the sake of you, Huang Laoshi, we wouldn't have been willing to come at all."
Si Rong's tough attitude left Li Xuan somewhat stunned.
What was she acting so tough for?
Shouldn't she be feeling grateful to her, just like the parent of the other student?
Just because the TV station praised her as an Excellent Female Entrepreneur, it went to her head, didn't it?
Even if she is successful, she is still just a woman; in terms of child education, is she as successful as she is?
Huang Laoshi also didn't expect that for a child as excellent as Shen Yuan, her mother would actually be a person of such character.
They were almost at the TV station and she still hadn't grasped the situation; in a moment, people were going to give her daughter a critique.
"Both parents, please calm down; we are about to arrive at the TV station," Huang Laoshi could only try her best to appease them, "This can be considered the children's first time participating in a group activity; today, as teachers and parents, we must teach them unity."
After Huang Laoshi finished saying these words, everyone temporarily shut their mouths, but no one was thinking about unity.
Li Xuan thought that Si Rong being so difficult with her wasn't just because she was jealous of her "Child Prodigy" daughter?
Huang Laoshi was also someone who couldn't distinguish right from wrong; she was probably trying to curry favor with her while also not wanting to offend the Si Family.
Where in the world could there be such a good thing?
Si Rong, meanwhile, thought that a good show was about to begin, though it was a pity that Ming Zi, who loved excitement so much, hadn't come.
They arrived at the TV station very quickly, as the backstage needed to record interviews in advance.
The host chatted with Shen Yuan to get familiar beforehand and, incidentally, to communicate about some of the questions that would be asked later.
"Xiao Yuan is so amazing!"
The host had a knack for coaxing children; every time Shen Yuan answered a question correctly, she would immediately give her praise.
"However, we have a special segment today," the host teased, "He will give you questions on the spot when the time comes."
Li Xuan couldn't help but feel a bit worried on the side, "Will he ask some particularly difficult questions? Although our Xiao Yuan is a Child Prodigy, we are still young after all."
"Mother of Xiao Yuan, please rest assured," the host comforted her.
Shen Lan's right eyelid, however, kept twitching; he didn't know what kind of omen this was.
"Can't we communicate in advance?"
Shen Lan asked; they were on this TV show to promote his daughter's reputation as a Child Prodigy, so there couldn't be any accidents.
In short, his heart was in a mess.
Perhaps it also had something to do with not seeing Si Rong for a long time and suddenly seeing her again.
After becoming a mother, Si Rong was still very refined; unlike those other female entrepreneurs, she remained elegant and beautiful.
Time always treated her with extra favor.
Wasn't this something he had known for a long time?
Seeing her squatting in front of her son and saying something gently to the child, Shen Lan's expression couldn't help but soften a little.
If there hadn't been that scene at the wedding back then, perhaps this beautiful picture now would belong to him, rather than Jiang Cheng.
He had said long ago that a man like Jiang Cheng was not suitable for Si Rong.
He hadn't even accompanied his wife and child to such an important occasion today.
Perhaps Si Rong was already regretting marrying him now.
One hour later, the live broadcast began.
"Hello everyone, today our program is fortunate to have invited a five-year-old 'Little Child Prodigy' and her parents. It is said that from the age of one, she began to show things different from other children. Now, let us walk into the world of the 'Little Child Prodigy'."
"We have some questions here from the teachers."
Most of them were quick calculations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division within one hundred, which was also Shen Yuan's comfort zone.
Because for the past few years, she had almost performed these for everyone in front of her family's stall every day.
But what followed were some brain teasers.
The host hadn't communicated these with her either.
"What thing will increase by half after being turned upside down?"
Shen Yuan thought for a while, but had no clue, and couldn't help but start to feel anxious.
Actually, if one set aside the halo of Rebirth, she was just an ordinary child in her previous life, with nothing outstanding about her.
Jiang Sinian, who was off-stage, tugged at his mother's hand, "I know."
Si Rong raised an eyebrow, "What?"
Jiang Sinian whispered the answer in her ear.
On stage, the host had already started the countdown.
"Three, two, one. Is this brain teaser I gave really that difficult? It actually managed to stump our 'Little Child Prodigy'?"
Shen Yuan's face looked ugly.
She was only five years old! Why did these people have such high demands of her?
Was it interesting to make things difficult for a five-year-old child? She was already regretting coming to participate in this lousy program.
"Oh?" The host saw Jiang Sinian off-stage, "Little handsome guy, do you know the answer?"
Jiang Sinian looked at his mother, and after receiving a nod of affirmation from Si Rong, he walked toward the stage.
"The answer is 6."
At this moment, many children suddenly realized; that's right, 6 turned upside down is 9, which is exactly an increase of half.
"Wonderful! This little friend Jiang Sinian, stay on stage and answer questions together with our 'Little Child Prodigy'!"
The development of this program was becoming more and more surprising.
Because for the brain teasers that followed, Shen Yuan could answer very few, while Jiang Sinian actually answered more correctly than she did.
The expression on Li Xuan's face became increasingly ugly.
She had said it long ago: Si Rong was bad luck for her! No matter when it was, whenever Si Rong appeared, she would have bad luck!
But for some reason, her daughter insisted on inviting this damned Jiang Sinian to be some good friend.
Well, now look, this is the consequence of not listening to her.
As the program reached its second half, a mysterious guest suddenly appeared.
They brought along two sets of test questions.
The key was that the host's words were also very interesting.
"Is it a true 'Child Prodigy', or a fake 'Child Prodigy'? Now, let us have our teacher Li Sheng reveal the answer."
In fact, before even starting these test questions, Shen Yuan's heart was already somewhat panicked.
This program was completely different from what she had imagined before.
But she could not blame anyone else; she could only blame herself for feeling jealous when she saw Si Rong on television, which was why she had come on the show without investigating clearly.
The test questions were quite interesting; it wasn't that the questions were difficult, they were all multiple-choice, mostly about daily life, and some questions were even entirely based on personal preference, with no logic at all.
She wanted to focus and do the questions carefully, but Jiang Sinian opposite her was writing with a swish-swish sound, completely disrupting her train of thought.
If she had known, she shouldn't have let Jiang Sinian come; she hadn't expected him to see such a disheveled side of her.
It wasn't until a good while after Jiang Sinian finished the questions that Shen Yuan finally finished answering.
The two sets of test questions were handed to Li Sheng, and the man suddenly smiled.
An ominous premonition suddenly surfaced in Shen Yuan's heart.
