The staff in front of the main control console were still dazed when the director had already stretched out his right arm, pressing the switch on the console, and the video on the big screen immediately stopped and froze.
The background music came to an abrupt halt, and in an instant, the chattering audience below turned their attention back to the stage, curious to see what Ning Xiaofei was up to.
At the same time, everyone's gaze shifted toward her, eager to see how she would turn the situation around.
Ning Xiaofei silently released a breath of relief. She had been so nervous earlier that she only exclaimed "stop," but fortunately, the director understood her intent. Composing herself, she smiled at the audience.
"Sorry, I need to take a phone call!"
After speaking, she actually brought the phone to her ear and turned to leave the lectern.
The audience was unanimously shocked, their eyes wide or mouths agape.
Answering a phone?
The competition is off!
