Chapter 22: The Purchase of Musical Instruments
Another week has passed and nothing has changed. Those stars sing, dance, and act as they should. The SBS is bustling with people coming and going, still the same old scene.
However, the SBS Security Department received countless complaints this week, but these complaints were all transferred to Tang Menglong. As expected by Tang Menglong, one or two drama crews reacted strongly, saying that the security department was not doing its job and was simply lazy.
Tang Menglong, after understanding the actual situation, directly transferred the security personnel of those two crews to other crews that were short-handed, and formally stated that due to the shortage of personnel, they could only dispatch personnel after the human resources department recruited new staff.
It is said that someone later made a big deal about the matter, taking it to higher authorities, but in reality, it was all thunder and no rain. On the contrary, thanks to Tang Menglong's arrangements, the older staff members of the security department became more diligent in their work. Within a week, they caught several fans who had snuck into the rest area and some audience members who had stolen small equipment from the working groups.
Where there are people, there is a river and lake, this SBS is just a small river and lake, everyone is pulling together, so after the Minister of Personnel received this news, he immediately dialed Tang Menglong's phone number, but it wasn't to bother him, rather to ask if he needed to recruit more staff. Tang Menglong directly told him that there was no need for now, then the two of them went out to dinner together, to strengthen their relationship.
As for why the Minister of Personnel would treat him this way, it's quite simple: after all, he was the one who handled Tang Menglong's entry into the company, and he knew that this young man was personally brought in by the Director.
Nothing big happened this week, on the contrary, the company's security issues have improved a bit. As for those film crews and whatnot, anyway, it has nothing to do with him, and he can't be bothered to care about them either.
Compared to the angry guys in the film and television department, Tang Menglong's life is actually quite good, but the only problem is that he still hasn't chosen a song for Infinite Challenge.

"Uncle, please spare me, okay?" Park Jin-jung, wearing a blue long dress and looking very innocent, weakly cried out while leaning on the cash register.
Tang Menglong helplessly said: "Ren Jing little sister, you're really unreliable! It's been a week and you still haven't chosen a song with depth!"
Park In-jeong almost cried, whether it was an old song or a new one, she found everything she knew and didn't know to let Tang Menglong hear, except for Park Hyo-shin's "Snow Flower", Uncle had some interest, all the others were shot down.
As she had expected, it was no easy task.
"Uncle, if you can't do it, then go sing a woman's song!" Park In-jeong weakly shouted.
Tang Menglong nodded and said: "I can, I didn't say that I couldn't sing women's songs!"
Park In-jeong really wanted to slap herself at this moment, wasn't she just making things difficult for herself?
"Jen Jing, don't be discouraged, keep going, get this thing done and I'll treat you to Korean beef!" Tang Meng Long said with a shameless grin.
Park In-jeong ignored his greeting and waved her hand at him, saying: "You'd better leave quickly! I feel annoyed just looking at you!"
Tang Menglong shrugged and continued to smile: "Then I'll go first, oh yeah, tea egg, remember the old rules, don't sell too much, and also don't eat too much!"
"Hey, you're so nagging, uncle!" Park In-jeong finally couldn't bear it and stood up to shout loudly, causing some passersby outside to curiously look inside.
But Tang Menglong wasn't afraid at all, and in the end he even turned his head back to shout: "Ren Jing sister, your skirt is too long!"
"Go die!"
Tang Menglong smiled slyly and waved his hand, then left the supermarket. Although he hadn't chosen a song to sing for Infinite Challenge yet, Tang Menglong had already started preparing the instrument he would use for the popular song. He didn't know if it was easy to buy in Korea, but when he was in the US, he did have one. However, when he left, he placed it on Sister Mary's grave. Now, he could only go and buy one.

Zhongluo Sanjie has a famous musical instrument market, ranging from high-end to low-end, from folk instruments to modern instruments.
Today, Tang Menglong's destination is here. His confidence has reached an arrogant level. He hasn't even chosen the Korean song to sing for the Unlimited Challenge yet, but he's already preparing for the popular song that will be sung later.
The reason for coming here is naturally because there are the most and most complete musical instruments here, but the musical instrument that Tang Menglong wants to buy, although some are niche, there are still people learning.
Tang Menglong walked into the mall and strolled around for a while before coming to a music store called "Gu Hang" on the second floor.
"Welcome! What kind of instrument does the customer need?" A middle-aged man with a slightly bald head, smiled and came over, looking enthusiastic.
Tang Menglong smiled and nodded: "You have a lot of instruments here, I want to take a look at the twelve-hole ceramic flute, recommend some good ones, no problem with the price!"
The boss smiled brightly and said: "Of course, there's no problem at all! However, young people in Korea who can play the ocarina are not many! Do you like playing the ocarina too, sir?"
Tang Menglong nodded and smiled: "Of course! And it's blown quite well too!"
The shop owner smiled kindly at the young man's self-boasting and took out a white, leaf-patterned instrument that resembled an abstract handgun from a nearby cabinet.
