Deputy Chief Jia also looked for Feng Yu . Was this too much? The first episode had shown a professor failing to complete this quiz, and the one who won the quiz was a worker . There was also a housewife who gave up in the middle and took back part of her prize money…… But what will be the impact to show a professor losing to a worker?
Luckily, this was a recorded program . This program will be aired after the New Year, and there was still time to tweet it .
“Feng Yu, I could tell from the live audiences’ reaction that they enjoyed this . But can this really be aired?”
“Chief Jia, most of the audiences here are the students from Beijing University . They are here to support their professor . They did not raise any objections when the worker won . Why should the other viewers raise issues with the worker winning? An ordinary worker winning a professor . Don’t you think this is a good promotional tool?”
“Promotional tool?”
“That’s right . We will broadcast this news over the radio and newspaper to promote this episode . The headline will be ‘Professor losing to a worker . ’ I guarantee you that the first episode’s ratings will surprise you . ” Feng Yu replied confidently .
Gimmicks are a must when promoting . If it were only a typical advertisement, the audiences would forget it . But once the headlines were announced, it will definitely spark the interest of many viewers .
The next day, Beijing Dailly, Longjiang Daily, and the newspapers of every province had the same headlines . Professor losing to a worker!
Many people when they saw the headlines became interested . They even skipped the rest of the news and read this report first . How could a professor lose to a worker? Was it a fight?

This report caused an uproar . The one who was most affected was Beijing University’s, Professor Zhao .
A professor from one of China’s top university, losing to a worker in a quiz show . Were the professors from Beijing University useless or that work was extraordinary?
Even if that worker was extraordinary, a professor from Beijing University should not lose!
When the leaders of Beijing University saw the report, they had an uneasy feeling . This incident will undoubtedly affect the university’s reputation . Who was this Professor Zhao? Which faculty was he from? Summon him over now!
……
“These are the questions you answered that day?” The school’s leaders gathered around a piece of paper . Professor Zhao had written down all the questions he answered .
The few leaders looked at each other and swallowed their saliva . Some of them were not sure of the answers .
“How many questions did you got it right?” A vice principal asked .
“9 questions . I got the last question wrong . ”

All the leaders immediately look at the 10th question . The percentage of a tri-colored cat is A: 99% female; B: 99% male; C: 100% male .
They looked at the options and analyzed the question . From the options, the chances of this tri-colored cat being a male should be higher . The answer should not be 100% male . The answer to this question must be B, 99% male .
“What answer did you pick?”
“I chose B . ” Professor Zhao replied .
The school leaders were shocked . What? B was the wrong answer? Could the answer be C?
Professor Zhao continued: “The correct answer is A . This is a lifestyle question . This can also be considered a Biological Generic question . I had asked a professor from our biology faculty and found out why the answer was A . Based on the generic……”
Professor Zhao was upset for getting the question wrong, and after he returned from CCTV, he immediately went to look for a professor in biology to find out the reason behind the answer .
The leaders do not know what to say . All of them could not even be compared to Professor Zhao . At least Professor Zhao was able to answer the first 9 questions correctly . But why did he lose to a worker? If he lost to a university student, the university will still not look bad .
After questioning Professor Zhao, they found out that the worker only knew the answers to 4 questions . He used his lifelines to answer 3 questions, and the rest was because of his lucky guess!
Guess?! A worker won their university’s professor by guessing? The leaders really wanted to cry .
When the leaders found out that Professor Zhao had participated in this program to raise funds for his hometown village’s kids, they did not reprimand him .
But after looking at the questions in the quiz, they were more relaxed . They knew that Huaqing University will undoubtedly send their people to participate . When Huaqing University loses in the quiz, then Beijing University will not be a disgrace . Hmmm… . If Huaqing university was not going to join, they should give them some “encouragements . ”
When they were still planning what to do, the phone on the principal’s desk rang .
“Hello? The old Chu? Today’s Beijing Daily? Oh, I read it . What’s wrong? You are talking about Professor Zhao? It’s fine . Although he lost, he did us proud… . . . Your Huaqing University’s professor is also participating? The recording is in 2 days? Hmph! I am not free to have lunch with you . If there is nothing else, I will hang up!”
After hanging up, the principal smiled . He does not even need to do anything, and Huaqing University had sent someone to participate . Every year, Beijing and Huaqing university were fighting to recruit the top students . But Beijing University will always be the first!
Hmph! You think by sending a professor to participate in this program will show the capabilities of your university? You think you will recruit more students this way? Hahaha . You got to have the luck first . But I think the professor you sent cannot even reach the third stage . If that really happens, it will be Huaqing University’s reputation that will be affected!
CCTV’s production team had suddenly received lots of applicants . Most of the applications were from professors . What surprised them was the number of professors from Huaqing University that was applying .
But the production team remembered what Feng Yu said . This program was for the commoners . There should not be too many professors participating . So, the team picked two professors based on their university’s popularity . One of them was from Huaqing University .
The production team was sighing . Did this Huaqing University think that the questions in this program were easy? Wait until you see the questions and you will know .
The production team felt that after this program was aired, they should not be receiving any applications from professors again . These professors loved to be in the limelight and cherished their reputation . They can’t accept losing in on national TV . Even if they do not mind, their schools will also not allow them to participate!
