Chapter 21: Three Seconds to Unhook the Bra

(Requesting support, third update)

The midday break also gives viewers a chance to catch their breath; the purpose is simply to help people better understand how the Fayibu Sect operates.

Of course, not everything can be aired.

In the afternoon, each trainee was given a close-up feature.

You can choose to study, or try accompanying some forensic officers on missions; only those who pass the final screening will receive an employment offer.

Soon, the director's camera crew began following these trainees as they moved about.

The filming was entirely guided by these kids' own thoughts, allowing viewers to see the confusion of newcomers stepping into the workplace.

Old Liu was meanwhile contacting people.

Soon, the police force provided a location: a still-unsolved case from earlier, though all removable evidence had already been collected—perfect for teaching purposes.

Upon receiving this news, Old Liu announced the task in the evening.

"This is a home environment. You'll go together to search for evidence. What you find, whether you share it or not, is entirely up to you. Remember one thing: forensic work is inherently complex; one person alone struggles to do it well. But when sharing clues, be careful—you're all competitors."

The boys and girls exchanged glances; everyone silently formed their preferred teams.

Then, Xiang Qinqin was separated out.

A strong sense of isolation emerged—even viewers at home could feel Xiang Qinqin's helplessness and despair.

But as Chen Fan emphasized, in an era that values diplomas, don't force others to accept your low educational status.

The director was also worried: placing a young woman like this, if she got attacked, could easily cause problems.

Fortunately, this girl Xiang Qinqin seemed to have a remarkably good attitude.

After some discussion, the group chose Chen Fan to partner with Xiang Qinqin, offering her some support.

"Hey, Miss."

Xiang Qinqin looked up at Chen Fan approaching and instinctively felt afraid, lowering her head and avoiding his gaze.

Chen Fan said: "Afraid of me? I'm actually a good person."

"I'm not… I just think you're too handsome. Seeing you makes me blush."

Hahahahahaha.

Everyone burst out laughing at Xiang Qinqin's clueless reply.

Chen Fan directly made a gesture and said: "Naturally—guys as handsome as me are extremely rare."

"Mm, I've never seen anyone as handsome as you in the funeral home."

?????

Wait, what do you mean?

After hearing this, viewers laughed themselves to tears.

"Hahahaha, I'm dead. That answer—I have zero reason to reject it."

"This kid just blurts out brutal truths."

"Seriously, why did the production team keep this junior college student? She clearly knows nothing."

"I don't believe any real hiring process would take this junior college student—what's the point of all those years of hard study?"

The criticism against Xiang Qinqin was the most intense, because the show's elimination felt absurd—you can't discard highly skilled people just for the sake of drama.

Chen Fan said: "I heard a lot of people are insulting you."

In the car, Chen Fan muttered to himself.

Xiang Qinqin said: "I know."

"Oh, you've got a great attitude. If it were me, I'd fire back immediately."

"They're right. I can't argue with them."

One sentence left online trolls speechless—wait, aren't you angry? Why aren't you angry? Why aren't you angry?

"Any show loves to see the underdog's comeback—watching a junior college student defeat graduate students makes many viewers automatically identify with the underdog."

Xiang Qinqin pulled out an orange and offered some to Chen Fan: "Want an orange?"

"No, you're insulting me."

"Huh? How is that insulting?"

"Nothing, just an internet meme. Forget it."

Chen Fan was speechless and turned away.

Boss Yang and Gao Ye in the observation room had already been laughing uncontrollably.
