"Okay." Zoey nodded, then asked Lu Man and the others, "So do you guys need to start preparing yourselves again? We can give you all some more time."
Lu Man looked at the others and asked, "How long do you all need to readjust your emotions?"
Everyone discussed and decided to ask for 10 minutes.
If the time was too long, the audience might not be able to wait.
They also needed to spare a thought for the competition.
Ten minutes was really not a long time. The emcee also had ways to entertain the audience, so it would not be an issue.
When the four judges saw that the exchange team's request was not only adequate but also mindful of others, their impression of the exchange team became even better.
Lenard and the other three judges discussed and said, "Why don't we give them 15 minutes? How's that?"
Five more minutes wasn't to be laughed at. It could make them feel even more at ease.
