The program team was indeed consciously setting this up for Bai Tiantian. After all, the Jiang Corporation had invested so much. This program was already popular, and, coupled with Qin Xiuchen’s popularity in the entertainment industry, numerous companies were scrambling for the last guest, and there wasn’t a lack of popular rookies.
Out of so many artists in so many companies, Bai Tiantian was able to fight her way out as a rookie all because of the Jiang family’s dominance in the entertainment industry.
No one couldn’t be boosted to fame in the entertainment industry. No one dared to not give the Jiang family face either, so the crew had specially given Bai Tiantian sufficient scenes and chances to showcase herself. This question was one of the segments to attract fans for her.
The show filmed the day before yesterday had already been broadcast.
Last night, the assistant director had given Bai Tiantian the question and answer ahead of time and asked her to recite it.

To highlight Bai Tiantian’s personality, this was a particularly complex physics question that the program group had found on the Internet in advance.
As veterans in the entertainment industry, Jing Wen and Qin Xiuchen knew the operations of the program group well.
But Jing Wen’s cousin and the others didn’t know.
A disharmonious voice interrupted the parade of praises for Bai Tiantian.
Bai Tiantian paused, and Jing Wen’s cousin also looked over. He originally wanted to scold her, but thinking of how she had easily carried one hundred kilograms of wood, he swallowed the words “What trouble are you stirring” and asked instead, “What’s wrong?”
Qin Xiuchen and Jing Wen also looked over.
Jing Wen had no idea what Qin Ran did nor who she was, but Qin Xiuchen knew very well that she was from the Beijing University’s Physics Department…
To be admitted into Beijing University’s Physics Department… only a few hundred people across the country accomplished this feat every year.
He realized that she meant the physics answer was “wrong.”
“The answer is wrong?” Having just carried the wood over, he was wiping his sweat with a paper towel. Upon hearing this, he threw the paper towel into the trash can beside him and glanced at her.
Holding her chin in her hand, Qin Ran chuckled. “No, I mean that the question is wrong. According to this question, all four options are wrong.”

The whole scene fell into silence.
The director only took part in filming and hadn’t arranged this question.
Pressing the headset directly with his hand, he frowned and asked the assistant director, who was still watching the split-screen in the studio, “This question is wrong?”
The program group would be mocked if it was really so.
The assistant director had been responsible for the question. Holding the headset, he replied, “This is a real question we downloaded from the Internet. There’s even a clear analysis below the answer, so it can’t be wrong.”
The program group staff had worked for several years and were veterans.
They didn’t understand this kind of physics question. They just wanted to fool the audience with the most difficult question and then make Bai Tiantian stand out.
Upon hearing this, the director felt relieved and immediately held up a sign saying “No problem” to Qin Xiuchen.
“I’ve done the calculations several times. There’s nothing wrong.” Seeing the director’s sign, Bai Tiantian heaved a sigh of relief and turned towards Qin Ran. She appeared nonchalant as if she didn’t mind Qin Ran’s words. “Maybe this Sister read the wrong question. Uncle, can you give me the keys?”
The cameraman who followed Bai Tiantian moved the camera, full of admiration.
The indifferent uncle took out the key and handed it to her.
Jing Wen also reacted and immediately rounded the scene. “It’s all because the handwriting is too ugly on the blackboard, so Little Ran Ran must have read wrongly.”
Hearing this, the indifferent Uncle glanced speechlessly at her.
Taking the key, Bai Tiantian glanced around, pursed her lips, and smiled. “Sister Jing Wen, you can open this.”
Qin Ran stood up with her hands on the stone, then put her hands behind her head. Silently, she just raised an eyebrow and laughed arrogantly and annoyingly.
Jing Wen had already opened the box and taken out the mission card inside. She read out the next mission’s content. “Film Emperor Qin, we have to go to the top of the mountain and clean up our…”
Before she finished speaking, Qin Xiuchen walked directly to the director and said in a cold voice, “Director, I think you should let someone check the question.”

The director frowned. He had heard from the manager last night that Film Emperor Qin adored his niece, and it seemed his devotion wasn’t ordinary.
“Film Emperor Qin, I already told you there’s no problem with the question.” He was originally very satisfied with Qin Ran’s appearance and her effect on the show, but upon seeing Qin Xiuchen’s behavior, his head ached involuntarily.
He secretly weighed who was more important, Film Emperor Qin or the Jiang Corporation.
This was actually something to watch. When this contradiction was broadcast, the show gimmick would explode, even if Film Emperor Qin’s niece was going to be cursed out by the whole network…
The director was originally afraid of Film Emperor Qin, but if the Jiang Corporation was on his side…
1
After all, Jiang Corporation now belonged to the Cheng family and was different from the past…
Thinking of this, he turned towards Qin Ran. “You said the question has a problem. Tell me, what’s the problem?”
1
Jing Wen’s cousin and the others were already prepared to leave and didn’t expect such a thing to happen.
“Idol, don’t listen to this woman’s nonsense! She’s a typical well-developed human with a simple mind!” Jing Wen’s cousin frowned, glancing at Qin Ran impatiently. “Tiantian has already calculated the answer, and she even did mental calculation several times! You said the question is wrong without even reading it. Have you finished reading it? Do you even understand the question?!”
1
His impression of her had changed a little after seeing her carry the log alone, and he had kept paying attention to her.
Thus, he naturally knew that she hadn’t spent more than five seconds looking at the question and then surveyed her surroundings in disinterest. She couldn’t possibly have read and solved the question in that short amount of time?!
Qin Ran turned around slowly. “The potential difference between the two points, cd and ef, is reversed. So, the answer to this question is -30v. The options given are all positive numbers.”
Her expression was too confident. The director glanced at her, and for some reason, he directly took out his phone and turned on a video.
It was a high school physics teacher.
He was high school classmates with the teacher, so he asked straightforwardly, “Don’t talk first. Help me see if there’s a problem with this physics problem.”
He sent the picture of the physics question.
Five minutes later.
The director turned on the recording, and the teacher said in a clear voice that everyone could hear, “This question isn’t a big problem, but it’s a little difficult.”
Upon hearing this, Jing Wen’s cousin glanced at Qin Ran and sneered.
Bai Tiantian heaved a sigh of relief and continued smiling.
Then, the next second—
“The potential difference between cd and ef is reversed. But it doesn’t matter. People who’ve learned this topic probably all know that the two points are reversed…” the physics teacher casually said over the video.
Not to mention the director and staff holding the mobile phone, even Jing Wen, who didn’t understand the talks about potential differences, was frozen in shock.
Staring at the director’s hand, she turned to stare at Qin Ran, who was standing leisurely on the side.
After the physics teacher finished speaking, he realized that the director was silent and couldn’t help but urge. “Director, you video-called me just to let me see this question?”
The director came back to his senses, feeling very embarrassed. However, his face darkened, hiding his blush. “We’ll invite you to dinner again. I’m hanging up first.”
After hanging up on the physics teacher, he glanced at Qin Xiuchen and Qin Ran. “Film Emperor Qin, we have to thank you and your niece this time.”
They hadn’t checked the loophole in such a big question, and it had been pointed out by a little girl during the filming process.
Even the director felt embarrassed.
But he still sighed in relief. Thankfully, Qin Xiuchen had persisted to the end. Otherwise, the show would really be called out and be mocked at… The professionalism of the show would surely be reduced, and the character image would also collapse.
After all… it wasn’t a big deal if the answer was wrong. But if Bai Tiantian could come up with the correct answer despite a wrong question, wasn’t it blatantly telling the audience of the shady business behind the scenes?
“No worries.” Qin Ran smiled at the director.
Staring at her smile, the director felt inexplicably scared and even pinched his arm.

She must be an artificial intelligence!

The other staff members also reacted… This question was wrong??
The answer was also wrong??
If that was the case, then a minute ago, Bai Tiantian’s answer…
They looked at Bai Tiantian simultaneously.
Unable to read the situation, Jing Wen’s cousin blankly asked, “The question is really wrong. Tiantian, how did you solve it? And you even calculated it several times?”
1
Bai Tiantian’s face instantly darkened.
Biting her lip, she fiddled with her fingers and said while flushing, “I read it wrongly.”
The show continued recording.
But Jing Wen couldn’t help feeling curious. She patted on Qin Xiuchen’s shoulder and asked, “What’s the matter with your niece? I don’t think she paid any attention to the question at all? She’s also a school nerd?”
She was really curious.
The program team and the director were also curious.
All the cameras pointed to Qin Xiuchen.
Under the camera, Qin Xiuchen just replied casually, seemingly indifferent, “Oh, maybe it’s because she’s from Beijing University’s Physics Department.”
