35 Allergies?
Song Hanjun glanced at Ding Xiumin, who was kneeling on the ground, with a calm expression.
"I'm speaking objective facts. To be convicted and branded as a financial swindler just because of a photo or a pair of shoes is so unfair to the trainee. If this matter is decided so hastily, Ding Xiumin's future will truly be ruined."
Song Hanjun looked at Chi Yan calmly.
"PD, you debuted as a trainee as well, so you should understand the consequences of this matter. Not to mention that this photo is fabricated by the media, it's very likely that unscrupulous media outlets are deliberately harming our trainees for publicity, in order to discredit the production team."
Chi Yan didn't say anything. He originally wanted to use provocation to make Ding Xiumin admit his mistake as soon as possible, and the matter would be over.
But what Song Hanjun said also made sense, and the program team also suffered a great loss.
The program crew used live broadcast to catch the bad apple in a big way, not only to severely punish the bad apple, but also to clear the program crew of any involvement.
Now that the popularity is getting higher and higher, there is no guarantee whether the show can continue.
Considering the program team, the best way now is to keep things quiet.
"Go on,"
Song Hanjun nodded.
"In my opinion, the media is just making up stories. The people entering and leaving the photos were clearly dressed differently. They used a random photo of people entering and leaving the hotel to slander our trainees. This is an attempt to discredit the production team. The media is either trying to capitalize on the hype or to bring the production team down."
This explanation of the matter is the best result. It not only clears the trainees, but also helps the program team avoid risks.
Chi Yan glanced at the assistant director in the corner.
Assistant Director Qin Lu also had a headache. Too many things had happened in the past two days. His blood pressure had soared. The higher-ups had already issued a clear document ordering rectification.
If the program is really stopped because of this incident, all the hard work will be wasted. It is better to turn a blind eye and save the program.
He came out from behind the scenes and whispered to Chi Yan,
"PD, what do you think? This matter has become too heated. I'm afraid it will backfire on the production team."
Chi Yan's eyes were sharp.
"Since you've already launched the livestream, you've already made an example of someone. Who could have imagined this would keep turning around and getting more heated? If you don't handle this now, you won't be able to appease the fans' anger."
He sighed.
"If we want to severely punish Ding Xiumin, we need solid evidence, which will definitely take some time. By then, it will be at the top of the trending search list, and the program team will definitely be targeted by the radio and television stations. After all, there are precedents such as Song Yi and Tang Shiyi."
"A good outcome would be that the production team would be accused of selecting unqualified talent. A bad outcome... Assistant Director, you should understand this clearly."
The assistant director was in tears.
"I just want this farce to end quickly. If I had known, I wouldn't have given them a holiday. This year's trainees are really capable of making trouble, especially that Su Tang. I love and hate him at the same time."
Hearing Su Tang's name, Chi Yan pursed his lips.
"Then hurry up and end this farce,"
Qin Lu's face lit up with joy.
"PD, this matter is entirely up to you. Whether it's a penalty or expulsion, it's all up to you. As long as we can get through this safely."
"Um,"
The trainees below were in a mess. Chi Yan took the microphone and cleared his throat.
"Everyone, please be quiet. After discussing with the assistant director team, we have a preliminary solution to this problem."
Everyone fell silent and listened attentively to Chi Yan's plan.
"The production team is people-oriented, and of course, protecting our trainees is our top priority. Without solid evidence, we can only prove that our trainees are innocent."
Hearing Chi Yan's words, the assistant director was of course very happy. It would be best if he could lower the heat and help the program crew clear the suspicion.
He nodded.
"It seems like this is just a farce. Our production team is positive and progressive, so how could something like this happen? The contestants who made it through the auditions were carefully selected, and there's no such thing as relying on sponsors."
"Damn the media! They've made us trainees panic."
Su Tang watched helplessly as Song Hanjun cleared Ding Xiumin of suspicion with just a few words, and the program crew was also happy to climb down the pole, as if everyone was happy.
Yuan Chiye was the first to disagree.
"Oh, are you just pretending it never happened? Do you think we are fools, or do you think the fans before the live broadcast are fools? Obviously..."
Before Yuan Chiye could finish his words, Su Tang stopped him. She covered Yuan Chiye's mouth with her hand and laughed awkwardly.
"He ate too much chili pepper,"
After saying that, she leaned over and whispered in Yuan Chiye's ear,
"Why are you being taken advantage of? It's obvious that the production team wants to keep things quiet. The capitalists are only concerned about their own interests. Don't worry, Ding Xiumin will be punished privately."
If nothing unexpected happens, Ding Xiumin will be eliminated directly after the first public performance.
The program crew only kept him to preserve his reputation, and Ding Xiumin wouldn't be able to stay for long.
It's equivalent to a soft ban in the entertainment industry. What happens to him in the future depends on his own luck.
Yuan Chiye paused. Su Tang's palm was pressing on his lower lip. Their backs were pressed against each other. He could even feel Su Tang's bones poking at him.
Su Tang's light breathing was still in my ears, accompanied by waves of unique fragrance.
Yuan Chiye's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and his throat was dry.
"Su Tang, let me go first,"
"If you don't make any noise, I'll let you go."
Yuan Chiye nodded, and Su Tang let go of his hand.
His face was flushed red. When Su Tang covered his mouth just now, his heart beat rapidly and he almost couldn't control himself.
He tried to take a deep breath to hide the strange feeling in his heart.
"Ahem, whatever you say is fine. I'll listen to you!"
Su Tang was concentrating on listening to the assistant director and Chi Yan discussing how to end this incident. When he heard Yuan Chiye's voice, he got goosebumps.
She looked up, squinting her eyes and staring at Yuan Chiye's red earlobes, the pink color spreading from the ear tips to the neck.
"Yuan Chiye, why are your ears red? Do you have a fever?"
Yuan Chiye turned his face away, his Adam's apple rolling.
"It's from the sun, allergy to ultraviolet rays."
Su Tang hesitated for a moment, looked around,
"It's raining and late at night, where does the ultraviolet light come from?"
"Indoor ultraviolet rays, no?"
Su Tang frowned, what's going on, so weird, she reached out and poked his earlobe,
"It's red like the crayfish you just ate. Hiss, are you allergic to crayfish?"
Yuan Chiye froze in place, feeling like his head was about to sweat.
Fortunately, his cell phone rang. He covered the phone and stood up straight.
"My dad must have seen the live broadcast and is worried about me. The production team will collect mobile phones later. I'm going out to answer a call."
Su Tang nodded.
Only then did Yuan Chiye hurriedly flee the scene with his cell phone.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the "Eat Melon" mission. Your current fan value is 258,000. You already have your own fans, and your ranking has already squeezed into the top 70. Keep up the good work.]
Su Tang was surprised. He hadn't checked his fan value for a long time. He didn't expect that he had more than 200,000 fan value in such a short time. It was a cause for celebration.
