Chapter 49: The Man Who Can't Withstand the Wind

  In the production team, Kim Tae-ho sighed and said: "If he suddenly changed his mind and didn't want to participate in the popular song contest, would you cry?"

  Lin Hengze's face was a mix of excitement and helplessness: "Taihao brother, I think this episode of Infinite Challenge is really well done, let's just forget about the competition for now, it's my turn to worry!"

  In the temporary outdoor "waiting room", the members of Infinite Challenge finally understood why Tong Menglong said those words earlier.

  Can this still be considered a match?

  Liu Zhaishi took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, then faced the camera and said: "I believe that now, our audience friends have seen Tang Menglong's performance. I think we should all be speechless like us!"

  "Dragon, from today on, you're going to be my brother's idol! My brother is your crazy fan!" Zheng Junhe suddenly chimed in excitedly.

  The oppressive and depressing atmosphere vanished instantly.

  "I... really..."

  "Oh! How can you still say such things!"

  "Hey! The rain has stopped!"

  ………

  In a bush in Longshan Family Park, a girl wearing a red T-shirt and white pants was squatting there sobbing quietly.

  Since she got on the train two hours ago, she has been enduring countless white eyes, a gaze that hasn't been seen for ages.

  The way they looked at her was cautious, curious, and contemptuous, even hateful. She didn't know what was going on, but that gaze brought back bad memories.

  After getting off the train, those Seoul people looked at her with even more unscrupulous eyes. In fact, the way these people looked at her was perhaps not the same as what she thought in her heart.

  Many people see her wearing old-fashioned clothes, looking dirty and messy, so they stare at her strangely. Some Seoulites who think they are superior also have a bad impression of these kids from the countryside. At least this woman with unkempt hair, wearing old-fashioned clothes, and an unclear face is very annoying, fearing that she might be crazy or something. Regional discrimination in Seoul is often visible, most commonly between Gangnam people and Gangbuk people, perhaps it's just a minority, but it really exists.

  Maybe it was a misunderstanding, or maybe it was discrimination, but other people's gaze indeed hurt the girl, so she cried.

  Along with her falling tears... rain.

  The girl bit her teeth and crouched there, saying in a voice that only she could hear: "This time I will definitely find it, otherwise I would rather die than go back to that place! I will definitely find it!"

  The girl stopped crying and slowly got up, the sudden raindrop also suddenly disappeared. The girl raised her head and walked forward slowly.

  ………

  In fact, taking a walk in the rain doesn't produce many results, even if you get rained on for just over ten minutes.

  But a certain someone who's stronger... no... should I say even more robust than an ox, is unexpectedly weak and can't withstand the wind.

  "Ahh, so annoying!!!!!!!!!!"

  "Alright, I'm not coming back this year, you guys go ahead and take care of it yourselves!"

  A man's voice came over the phone: "Hey, what's going on? Have you forgotten that in a few days it's Sister Mary's..."

  "Of course I know, but I've already sung here, you guys organize a concert yourself, no way, I'm going to die, I'm hanging up!"

  "What a joke, no lead singer, we..."

  "Beep beep beep!!"

  "This damned guy!"

  Tang Menglong hung up the phone abruptly. He was about to put the phone on the bedside table, but the cheerful ringtone sounded again.

  Tang Menglong looked at the incoming call display and was about to hang up, but after some thought, he still pressed the answer button.

  "Ah! Uncle, you finally answered my call!"

  "You little brat, I'm only doing this because you showed up for me yesterday, otherwise who would bother with you!"

  At this moment, in the corridor of S.M company, Zheng Xiujing and Cui Xueli sat together, very excited. Yesterday, Tang Menglong's singing was too awesome. If it weren't for the audience and the program team making a promise, yesterday's incident would have spread all over the internet by now.

  Actually, yesterday after Tang Menglong left, Jin Taihao and Liu Zaishi asked the audience not to spread the videos they recorded, and said that in three days, this episode will be broadcast. They hope everyone can understand the program team and also show respect for the performers.

  Kim Tae-ho saw that the singer had just moved out, and everyone rarely agreed. Even the three small reporters didn't know if they were taking the wrong medicine, saying they wouldn't directly report everything that happened today.

  But as a result, these people really did it, and yesterday's concert didn't spread out, but the storm has already formed.

  Due to the infinite challenge program team, as soon as they returned to the company, they directly issued a statement on the official website, and the content of the next episode will be temporarily changed. The preview will be put on the official website one day later. This kind of thing has never happened before.

  Many fans have expressed their dissatisfaction on the official website, but some fans who participated in the afternoon recording are strongly supporting and leaving messages saying that once you see the content of the new episode, there will be no more dissatisfaction.

  The other three reporters also sent back reports, which were mysterious and did not reveal any substantial content. However, they said that all music lovers who missed the premiere of this episode would be extremely regretful.

  At that time, the production team and the audience, media's abnormal behavior, but also caused a lot of attention, of course, these concerns are mixed.

  And this time, Kim Tae-ho also made a guarantee in front of the Director of Arts Bureau that if the ratings drop and there are irreparable consequences, he is willing to accept any punishment.

  The director saw that Kim Tae-ho had said so much and finally agreed to his plan to temporarily change the broadcast content.

  But judging from the reaction, it's still pretty good. At least some netizens who are not fans of the "Infinite Challenge" program team have expressed their curiosity and anticipation.

  At this moment, the program team's editors are working hard to produce the content of the show. Fortunately, they only need to work on the footage shot yesterday, and other content such as the members' singing practice has already been edited.

  Jang Ja-yeon and Choi Chae-rim, the two young ones, of course, also kept their promise. To be honest, they were already mesmerized by the song at that time, where would they have thought to record it with their mobile phones? It wasn't just them, actually most people were like this.

  It's almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and two little guys went straight to the company after school. However, they practiced for a while before hiding in the stairwell to make phone calls. What made Zheng Xiujing very happy was that Uncle finally answered his call.
