Chapter 24

The moment Shen Huai saw Su Ning, he was as shocked as if he had seen a ghost. He had never expected that there would be an ambush here.

Li Chu also turned his head suddenly, with obvious surprise on his face. It seemed that Su Ning didn't even tell Li Chu, probably because he was afraid that he would reveal the secret.

However, it would be a lie to say that Li Chu had not guessed it at all.

Zhou Chunqing was called away just as he sat down. The doctor had just left, leaving him alone for a period of time.

This is of course normal for ordinary trainees. They are not big-name artists, so how can they be surrounded by everyone? However, this is very abnormal for Su Ning.

Li Chu didn't think highly of himself, but he felt that with the young master's personality, it was impossible for him to be left alone after what had just happened on the stage and in the dressing room.

There seemed to be no basis for this, but he just felt that Su Ning would not be like that.

So when the doctor left, he already had a guess in his mind, and after Shen Huai showed up, this guess was confirmed. He and Shen Huai didn't plan to talk about anything, fearing that the young master really knew more, so he was too lazy to just perfunctorily answer him and just wanted him to get lost.

However, when Su Ning appeared there, Li Chu was still very surprised and a little moved.

He really won't leave himself alone.

Then, Su Ning walked out from behind the screen, stood in front of Li Chu to block him, and then stared at Shen Huai, stepped forward, and repeated in front of the stunned him: "If you have the guts, say what you just said to me again."

His voice was too cold. Shen Huai, who was caught, looked a little unnatural. He said, "Su Ning, you misunderstood. You don't know what Li Chu did. In fact, he..."

"To be honest with you, you still want to pretend and put the blame on others?" Su Ning interrupted him, "If I heard correctly, Shen Huai, you still want to use your status as a mentor to destroy students at will, right?"

Having said this, there was no point in Shen Huai pretending any longer. He stood up straight and said, "So what?"

"Su Ning, do you think you can really decide this show? You think all these things are too simple. Let me tell you, a scandal like this alone can't expel me from the show. I've always been familiar with the CEO of Orange Video, and I'm the mentor of this show. You can't interfere with me..."

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Su Ning again.

Before it was with words, now it is with actions.

Su Ning didn't intend to listen to any more nonsense from him, so as he got closer, he stretched out his hand and punched him in the nose.

Shen Huai was caught off guard.

Of course, he was no match for Su Ning, who was taller than him, and was completely stunned by him.

"you!"

He fell down, holding his nose, and the back of his head hit the door behind him with a loud bang, which he couldn't open no matter how hard he tried.

“…You’re crazy!”

He never expected that Su Ning would vent his anger on Li Chu in such a brutal way, just like how he dealt with Jiang Chenfeng in Diaochun River.

Jiang Chenfeng was in deep pain at that time. He originally wanted to take care of his injuries while waiting for Su Ning, who couldn't get out, to come back and then take revenge, but somehow Su Ning really ran away.

What could he do? Call the police? Would Diao Chunjiang's story be exposed? Young Master Jiang himself didn't dare to tell anyone, so he could only swallow his anger.

But this is not Diao Chunjiang, this is a legitimate recording site, how dare Su Ning!

"Of course the program team can't fire you according to the contract. Even Director Chen Yuan can't do anything to you due to the platform's senior management," Su Ning said, "but Mr. Shen, I think you will quit on your own."

Without blinking, he reached out and punched again.

Su Ning is certainly not a reckless man. He quietly set a trap for Shen Huai, not just to vent his anger.

An artist with a facial injury generally will not appear on camera. This is inhumane. Even the Orange Video platform would let Shen Huai rest for the sake of influence.

If you want to do something on the face, you can't do it by scratching it, as it's easy to fail. Su Ning doesn't have professional surgical knowledge, so this is the choice with the greatest impact and the least loss. The injury is not serious and it will heal after a period of treatment. He knows his limits.

"Of course, Mr. Shen can sue me right now.

"I forgot to tell you that I have set up surveillance here. It has been recording since before you came in."

Su Ning squatted down and said to Shen Huai, "Teacher Shen, the scandal certainly won't ruin you. You can wait until things cool down a bit and push all the blame onto Sang Le. I believe you have the ability to do that. But you are so arrogant towards the students and Ou Tu Si partners. After the scandal gets out of hand, I wonder who will dare to come after you in the future?"

Shen Huai: ...

Although medically speaking, a nose injury is not serious, it still hurts a lot for the person who gets hit.

Shen Huai's nose started bleeding immediately. The bridge of his nose began to hurt fiercely. The back of his head that was hit also hurt terribly. He couldn't speak, but the door at the back wouldn't open no matter what. He could only reach out and knock on the door continuously, hoping that the noise would be louder and attract other people to come over.

But no one came.

Why?

Even though there are few people here, after hearing such a loud noise, there should be at least one or two staff members coming to check it out, right? !

What he didn't expect was that it was because Shen Mingzheng was standing outside.

Chen Tao reported to him in a low voice: "…The people here have been cleared out, they are all busy in the front, and I have already told the doctor that no one will come over in the next ten minutes."

Shen Mingzheng nodded and said nothing.

He had previously felt that not all the people that Shen Huai had arranged in the program team had been cleared out, and now he should be able to find another group and kick them out to avoid any mistakes in the next competitions.

Director Chen Yuan has already explained that the other party acquiesced.

There are so many people in the program team, and it’s harmless if some people have some small thoughts, but if it affects the stage, the students or even the program itself, Chen Yuan cannot tolerate it.

What happened to Sang Le cannot happen again. There can't be another replacement match to save the show.

So the two of them hit it off and reached a cooperation immediately.

Shen Mingzheng originally wanted to discuss with him how to resolve this matter, but Su Ning seemed to have already made a plan and said, "I'll do it. Mr. Shen can just help me with the aftermath."

"If you can't make Shen Huai feel the same way, he will never learn a lesson."

So the matters inside were left to Su Ning, and Shen Mingzheng really didn't ask much. Even though there were indeed strange screams coming from inside, he stayed here as agreed and didn't have any opinions at all.

Even Chen Tao was a little worried when he heard what was going on inside: "Will anything happen? Shen Huai is not important. I am afraid that Mr. Su will get into trouble."

"It's okay," Shen Mingzheng said. Believe him. He said he knows his limits. "

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, he thought that was fair.

Ten minutes was more than enough for Su Ning to solve the problem in there. After he stopped, he looked at Shen Huai and added: "A doctor will be here soon. Teacher Shen is so careless that he fell down on flat ground. Don't do this again next time."

Shen Huai had stopped banging on the door and lay on the ground with his nose covered in a frenzy. Before Su Ning took Li Chu away, he shouted with shaking hands, "The mentors will give their scores later. I haven't voted yet. Su Ning, let me see how you explain this to the production team and the audience!"

Su Ning, however, was not at all panicked.

"You're overthinking it. We have backup options. It doesn't matter whether you're here or not. Shen Huai, you're really not as important as you think you are."

Shen Huai was speechless and could only watch Su Ning take Li Chu away. When Li Chu left, he turned around to look at him and made a "pah" expression on his face.

This is too much!

Shen Huai lay on the ground, completely helpless and furious.

But he really couldn't figure it out. Not to mention the incident of beating people and not letting the instructor give grades, who did Su Ning want to let come?

The media team? That's even more impossible.

The media is even more uncontrollable, not to mention that Jiang Chenfeng is there. Moreover, if the scoring team is suddenly changed, the audience may not be able to accept it. This is unreasonable.

Li Chu, who was led away by him by this doubt, did not think it through.

He was indeed relieved of his anger and felt much better. Su Ning seemed emotional, but every step he took was well calculated and he would never let his temper affect the normal recording of the program.

Li Chu's knee had been roughly healed, and the recording would resume soon after he left. Su Ning didn't say much to him. He didn't look like he had just beaten someone up, and he spoke softly and kindly to the doctor.

Time was tight, and Li Chu didn't have much chance to talk to him alone, nor did he have time to ask. Soon, he and the rested trainees gathered and returned to the stage.

But when the trainees returned to their seats and turned on the computer again, they found that the instructor seats were empty. Not only was Shen Huai not there, but the other teachers were also not there.

What about the teachers?

Shouldn't it be rated?

The media team, who had just finished their break, were also feeling very strange and were whispering to each other.

Then, the host came up.

The host in the fourth picture is not Shen Huai from the mentor team. According to regulations, it must be a professional and certified host. However, in reality, many words and shots are spoken by Shen Huai, the person in charge. This host's appearance frequency is very low. He only had a few shots before, but now he has appeared.

“Everyone must be surprised.”

"In fact, we kept the evaluation of this part a secret from everyone before. It is not the responsibility of the instructor."

"My instructor only gave some professional advice on the stage, but the real evaluation was made by these people——"

"It's up to you."

As he spoke, at this moment, another scene appeared on the big screen behind him. The moment they appeared, people on both sides of the screen couldn't help but scream and get excited.

——Because on the other side of the screen are also students participating in the Otaku 4 competition.

Of course, they were not the ones who won the qualifying round, but the trainees who made it into the top 20. With Su Ning withdrawing and Sang Le not there, there were exactly 18 people in those seats, all familiar faces.

The host immediately began to explain it clearly.

It turned out that when the replacement match just started, the program team gathered these 18 trainees together and broadcast the entire performance to them in the form of a live broadcast.

These 18 trainees were in daily training before the finals and were not allowed to leave the training camp. All their cell phones were taken away. The program organizers had kept the qualifying matches hidden from them without informing them. However, a few people had vaguely guessed something from the recent movements of the program crew, but they did not expect it to happen so soon.

Today, when the program crew suddenly gathered them together and called them to a small meeting room with a big screen, everyone was confused.

There were even people who had practiced all night and had not gotten up yet. They were forcibly called up from the dormitory by the staff. They just washed their faces and put on some clothes without changing into pajamas and came here. They were wearing eye masks on their heads, and some were even wearing slippers. They all looked unprepared for the situation.

Not to mention that when the assistant director told them on the spot what they were in such a hurry to do, they were instantly overwhelmed by the feeling of being completely bewildered.

Not only do they have to watch, but they also have to vote for their competitors?!

The people participating in the qualifying round had no idea that, from the very beginning, all the performances on this stage had been broadcast live in a small area, and everyone's reactions were recorded.

This is what Su Ning discussed with Chen Yuan half an hour before the recording of the program.

His original purpose was to prevent Shen Huai from causing trouble, and things turned out just as he expected. Now this advance arrangement came in handy.

Therefore, how could Su Ning beat Shen Huai just because he was angry? Just in case, he had already made all the preparations to back up the situation.
