92: Chapter 92 Director Zhu's Anger: You Dare to Cut Her Show?

"Leaders, what brings you all here?"

"I'm sorry for not welcoming you properly."

Director Zhu was startled to see these middle-aged men.

He naturally recognized them.

They were his former superiors from when he served in Liangzhou.

Now, they were all powerful figures in various regions.

Even though Director Zhu was from the Capital, he had to show them respect.

"Director Zhu, we heard that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala is being held in our Liangzhou."

"As native Liangzhou people, we naturally had to come and show our support."

"Furthermore, I heard that among the programs this time, there's an authentic local yi language song from Liangzhou?"

One of the leaders asked.

He was of the Yi ethnic group, so he was quite concerned about this.

"Yes, Bureau Chief Chen, there is indeed a yi language song on the lineup this time."

"This yi language song will definitely give you a pleasant surprise."

Director Zhu said hurriedly.

"Oh? Really?"

"Then we're very much looking forward to it."

"Our Liangzhou has always lacked recognition out there."

"If a yi language song with our local characteristics could appear on CCTV..."

"That would also bring glory to our Liangzhou region."

"Exactly, that's the idea."

Several other leaders nodded in agreement.

These leaders were basically all from the Yi ethnic group.

So, they placed considerable importance on this.

Seeing this, Director Zhu felt a secret joy in his heart.

Fortunately, he had kept Li Qingwan's yi language song.

Now, it would definitely make these leaders happy.

In that case, the work here in Liangzhou would be much easier to carry out.

"Then let's watch it together,"

Director Zhu said to the group of leaders.

Afterward, he arranged seats for these leaders.

He sat with them to enjoy the show.

At first, Director Zhu and these leaders were talking and laughing.

They watched the program while discussing interesting anecdotes from when they served together in Liangzhou.

But gradually, some leaders began to frown.

"Director Zhu, why hasn't that yi language song come out yet?"

"Yeah, did you schedule it for the very end?"

"More than half of the program schedule has already passed."

These Yi leaders were all getting a bit impatient.

Their purpose for coming was to see a Yi ethnic song on the CCTV stage.

But it was long overdue.

Naturally, they felt somewhat agitated.

"Uh, leaders, please be patient."

"I'll make a call and ask."

Director Zhu also found it strange.

According to the schedule, Li Qingwan should have performed long ago.

Why hadn't she appeared after all this time?

Thinking of this,

Director Zhu called Director Huang.

"Director Huang, what's going on?"

"Why hasn't Li Qingwan's yi language song been performed yet?"

Director Zhu asked with a frown.

"What yi language song?"

"Oh, oh, that yi language song you mentioned. Director, didn't you say to streamline the program?"

"To let some good acts go first, I cut that yi language song program."

Director Huang said nonchalantly.

"What?"

"You cut the yi language song?"

"How could you not tell me about such a major matter?!"

Director Zhu was stunned.

These leaders came specifically to see the yi language song, didn't they?

Now, Director Huang had actually cut it directly?

What the hell was there left to watch then?

"Uh, Director, I thought you felt the same way."

"So, I didn't notify you."

Director Huang said, sounding a bit aggrieved.

Of course, the reason he didn't notify Director Zhu was that he had already squeezed in another artist.

This artist was someone he wanted to promote.

"Like hell I did!"

"Huang Shisheng, I'm notifying you now: put Li Qingwan's yi language song program back on immediately."

"Otherwise, you're fired!"

Director Zhu said, extremely angry.

"But, Director, the schedule is already full."

"There's no more room."

Director Huang still tried to struggle.

"Then delete another program for me!"

"Make this yi language song the grand finale!"

Director Zhu said angrily.

"Fine, okay."

Only then did Director Huang notice that Director Zhu's tone was not peaceful at all.

Instead, he was extremely furious.

He finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

He quickly called over his assistant.

"Go notify Li Qingwan immediately to get ready to go on stage."

"Also, tell Zhang Han he doesn't need to prepare anymore; his program has been cut."

Director Huang told the assistant.

"Director Huang, wasn't it just..."

The assistant was a bit confused.

That's not what Director Huang had said earlier.

He had told Li Qingwan not to prepare.

And told Zhang Han to go on stage.

Now everything was reversed?

"I told you to go, so go. Why so much talk?"

Director Huang waved his hand impatiently.

"Okay."

Hearing this, the assistant quickly ran to carry out the order.

...

In the dressing room.

Li Qingwan had packed her things and was ready to leave.

Although she didn't know why her program had been cut.

It was the director's decision, after all.

She could only comply.

However, she still felt somewhat regretful.

After all, she was clearly just one step away.

Once she stepped onto a mainstream stage.

She could fully announce to the entire Entertainment Circle.

That she, Li Qingwan, was back.

As long as she appeared on a mainstream stage, many people in the Entertainment Circle would be willing to work with her again.

After all, if an artist is brave enough to collaborate with a mainstream stage, who would dare say anything?

But unfortunately, she was just one step short.

"Sigh, Li Qingwan, if anyone's to blame, it's just your bad luck."

Li Qingwan sighed, picked up her suitcase, and prepared to walk out.

Just then, she ran into the director's assistant, who was rushing in.

"Li Qingwan, what are you doing?"

Seeing that Li Qingwan had already changed her clothes.

The director's assistant panicked instantly.

"I'm going home. What else would I be doing?"

"You cut my program, so why would I stay here?"

Li Qingwan said, curling her lip.

"Don't, Teacher Li, please stay."

"If you leave now, everything will be ruined."

"I misread it earlier; the one whose program was cut wasn't you."

"It was another artist."

"Quickly change your clothes now and get ready for the grand finale."

The director's assistant hurriedly pleaded.

His attitude was completely different from his previous arrogance.

"Ah?"

"My program wasn't cut?"

"And I'm the grand finale?"

Li Qingwan was dazed.

Is the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala hosted by CCTV really this haphazard?

But what was with the grand finale?

One must know that the grand finale was a treatment reserved only for heavyweight guests.

"Yes, yes, hurry up and prepare."

"We can't afford any more delays."

The director's assistant said hurriedly.
