As long as she did not deliberately show off on stage, even the people sitting in the front row would not see what was happening. She quickly changed her clothes behind the curtains before stepping on stage. As soon as she appeared, she received a warm round of applause.

Neither of the hosts said anything upon their departure, leaving Su Wen alone on stage.
Cao Meihua and Deputy Director Wei hid behind a door, using it as cover as they peeked at Su Wen, who stood on stage. What they feared most was Su Wen being unable to handle the pressure. They had almost fainted when they listened to the emcees, who were uninteresting and hopelessly unreliable. Thank goodness they were no longer on stage. Still, they did try their best to hold the audience's attention while waiting for Su Wen to appear--they must have been extremely nervous.
