In the cafeteria.
Chen Feng and Fang Chengmin discussed for over two hours.
By the end of their discussion, there was no one left eating in the entire cafeteria; everyone had gathered around them.
Everyone had heard that Academician Fang had arrived and was discussing technology with a young researcher for an entire afternoon.
Everyone was curious.
This created an unprecedented scene in the cafeteria.
In the monitoring room of the administrative building.
Deputy Director Lu Jun was completely dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Chen Feng had been chatting with Academician Fang for so long?
It was simply unbelievable.
Now, Chen Feng, from head to toe, exuded the aura of a researcher from the institute; there were no flaws to be seen.
Especially when he was discussing technology with Academician Fang Chengmin.
He looked Academician Fang directly in the eyes.
Every explanation was given with full concentration, answering seriously.
Was this acting?
Impossible, right?
Lu Jun and the entire panel of audience judges were stumped.
Just like that, after more than two hours, Fang Chengmin, without even eating, asked for Chen Feng’s phone number on the spot, then got up and left in a hurry.
Director Jiang Lin and others quickly accompanied him.
Everyone looked solemn.
As if they had discovered something significant.
Lu Jun looked at the secretly filmed footage, unable to resist, and called a colleague accompanying Director Jiang Lin to inquire about the situation.
After the conversation, he completely froze.
The young staff around him eagerly asked, “Section Chief Lu, what’s going on?”
“Yeah, Section Chief Lu, what did you find out?”
“What’s the matter with them?”
“Was there any important decision made on site?”
“Hey, Section Chief Lu, what’s with that expression?”
…
Everyone’s chatter finally brought Lu Jun back to his senses.
He looked at the young researchers around him with a strange expression and slowly said, “That… Chen Feng, proposed a kind of… model.”
“A technical model that can manage atmospheric turbulence.”
“It’s called the Weather Control Model.”
“Based on the theory of the Chaos Effect, it is said that it can influence the entire atmospheric turbulence to achieve the goal of managing the atmospheric environment.”
“Academician Fang thinks this model… is feasible.”
“He thinks it’s feasible.”
“Now, Academician Fang has already rushed back to prepare a cooperation plan.”
“To cooperate with our institute. And I heard that if this project plan is truly approved, the funding might reach trillions.”
The researchers around him: “…”
This is a fantasy, isn’t it?
A small actor?
Reached a cooperation with an Academician?
Where do we, the legitimate researchers, put our faces?
For a moment, everyone was emo.
What exactly went wrong?
Could it be that even the Academician was bribed by the production team?
Are they putting on a show?
…
The morning segment was over.
Among the top five contestants, A Yi and Tao Yilun were exposed, so they were directly out of the top three and had already returned home.
In the afternoon.
Yu Zhiwen continued to be her cashier.
Han Tao also continued to push sand and carry bricks at the construction site.
Chen Feng continued to immerse himself in project research in the office.
Around 3:40 PM.
Chen Feng was unexpectedly called away by Director Jiang Lin to the Director’s office.
There were no cameras there.
Thus, filming was interrupted.
The production team leader and Deputy Section Chief Lu Jun urgently rushed to the Director’s office, praying all the way that nothing would go wrong.
What was both funny and frustrating was that Jiang Lin had not discovered Chen Feng’s identity.
Instead, he was discussing the project with him.
He asked in extreme detail.
The two talked for a full hour and a half before Chen Feng was released.
When he came out, Jiang Lin excitedly patted Chen Feng’s shoulder repeatedly, encouraging him to fully dedicate himself to this project and to definitely produce the report.
Lu Jun and the production team leader, who knew the outcome, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
…
At 5:00 PM.
The outdoor shoot ended.
Chen Feng and the other two, who successfully made it to the end, breathed a sigh of relief.
When the three, with the cooperation of the production team, stood in front of the camera and revealed their identities, there were exclamations of surprise all around.
The supermarket employees screamed non-stop.
They all crowded over to take photos with Yu Zhiwen.
The construction site, however, was not as lively.
Although those rough men found it interesting, they wouldn't rush to take photos like ordinary fans.
They just shook hands with Han Tao and parted ways with endless emotion.
Some older workers even admonished him with a look of satisfaction, telling him that young people should work harder and be more ambitious, and never follow the construction workers who can only earn meager wages through hard labor.
Han Tao nodded repeatedly, humbly accepting the advice.
At the institute.
Chen Feng had quite a few fans.
Almost all the young researchers excitedly clamored, hoping to take photos with him, and even asking for autographs as souvenirs.
However, Director Jiang Lin was dumbfounded.
Variety show?
Then what about the model Chen Feng proposed?
…
After 6:00 PM.
The top five contestants returned to the city’s broadcast building.
The live broadcast would begin promptly at 8:00 PM.
Revealing the final top three rankings.
As for the fourth and fifth places, they had already been scored by the audience judges.
Considering all factors, A Yi’s cafeteria ‘Auntie’ portrayal was more vivid than Tao Yilun’s steel mill worker.
Therefore, A Yi ranked fourth, and Tao Yilun ranked fifth.
Chen Feng, Han Tao, and Yu Zhiwen were the top three in the national finals.
At the same time.
The production team finally live-streamed the three venerable old artists they had heavily invested in: You Laoxiansheng, the old artist of the film and television industry known as ‘Living Buddha Ji Gong’, Feng laoshi, the old artist of the crosstalk world, and Han laoshi, the artist of the music industry.
Three heavyweight figures.
The final top three rankings would be officially announced by them.
And the basis for consideration was the performance of the three in their respective experiential environments during the day.
…
Backstage.
Chen Feng and the other two had long been prepared.
Just waiting for the live broadcast to begin.
During the wait, the three also chatted casually in a relaxed atmosphere.
Since they were already in the top three, they truly didn't care who ranked first.
Especially Yu Zhiwen.
She had long given up the idea of competing for the championship; participating all this way was purely for fun.
Unexpectedly, by some strange coincidence, she actually made it into the top three.
It was truly something else.
Han Tao also stated frankly that he had no confidence in competing for the top three.
He had always thought that Chu Ning and A Yi were strong contenders for the championship, and later, the super dark horse Chen Feng was added.
Therefore, he had no hope for the top three.
Who would have thought that the top 10 to top 5 competition would eliminate popular figures like Chu Ning and Xu Nuo, who were heavily promoted by capital?
Today’s experience was even more fortunate.
The construction site where Han Tao was located was full of laborers who worked extremely hard, so no one had the leisure to watch variety shows.
Therefore, even if he showed his face, no one recognized him.
As a result, he won big.
Finally, Han Tao looked at Chen Feng and Yu Zhiwen and smiled, “So, luck is also a kind of strength. This time, I won by luck.”
“I also won by luck.”
Yu Zhiwen also smiled.
Then the two looked at Chen Feng simultaneously.
Chen Feng blinked: “I also had pretty good luck.”
“You’re talking nonsense.”
Han Tao looked at him with a disgusted expression: “I heard you were sitting and chatting with an Academician in the cafeteria?”
Yu Zhiwen also exaggeratedly said, “Feng Ge, I heard you can even derive quantum physics formulas?”
Chen Feng: “…”
