95: Chapter 95 Two Little Tails

Strictly speaking, this could already be considered a performance accident.

If the higher-ups really looked into it, he wouldn't be able to escape responsibility.

Having just become the chief director, he was at the peak of his ambition.

Only to have a bucket of cold water splashed on him then and there.

And the culprits behind all this were Xu Kun and Han Hong.

He had already repeated these two names silently in his heart many times.

He originally thought something would go wrong with Chen Shaoping's trio.

He didn't expect that the accident would involve Xu Kun instead.

Host invited the groups of contestants back up.

And announced the rankings.

“Coming in third place for this episode is the trio from Hong Kong: Zheng Wenfang, Ye Shunming, and One Blade.”

“Let's invite Teacher Li Zhongsheng to present them with their award.”

Li Zhongsheng beamed and quickly walked onto the stage.

He took the check representing the 100,000 yuan prize money from the staff and solemnly handed it to the three.

“Congratulations to the three of you for such a great result. I hope you'll keep up the good work in future programs.”

“Thank you, Teacher Li!”

“We will continue to work hard.”

Host continued to announce today's second place.

“Next is the second place for this episode, the free-form group of Huang Wenxing, Feng Jie, and Old High.”

“Let's invite Teacher Liu Huan to present them with their award.”

Liu Huan stood up and jogged onto the stage.

After the award was presented, he shook Feng Jie's hand firmly and said with a smile.

“Teacher Gu asked me to give you a message.”

“She said you performed excellently this time and didn't let her down.”

Feng Jie immediately became excited, and his grip tightened slightly.

He looked at the elder below the stage, his eyes filled with both the emotion of being recognized and a sense of peace.

It seemed that as long as his teacher was there, he had infinite confidence.

“Thank you, Teacher Liu!”

“No, the one you should thank most is Teacher Gu,” Liu Huan reminded him.

“Mhm,” Feng Jie nodded, his eyes welling with tears.

“I know.”

“The most exciting moment is about to arrive. Today's first place is also the first place from the previous episode.”

“They have defended their title. Let's invite Chen Shaoping, Wang Bo, and Zhou Bule to step onto the highest podium.”

As Host finished speaking, the eyes of the live audience and the viewers in front of their TVs all converged on the three.

Chen Shaoping stood in the middle, with Wang Bo and Zhou Bule on either side of him.

All three were smiling happily.

Wang Bo kept waving, as if he had won an Olympic gold medal.

“Let's invite Teacher Fang Wenshan to present them with their award, thank you!”

Among the five judges, Teacher Fang Wenshan was the youngest.

Hearing the Host's words, he happily stepped up in a few strides.

Shaking Chen Shaoping's hand firmly, he said excitedly, “Teacher Young Master Ping, I hope we can exchange ideas more in the future, especially regarding Guofeng lyrics.”

Chen Shaoping nodded politely. “Alright, Teacher Fang. Thank you!”

The awards ceremony was complete.

Host stood in the center of the stage, giving the final summary for this episode.

With that, this episode officially came to a close.

Netizens had already exploded with discussion regarding this episode.

“Huang Wenxing's trio really looks like they've been reborn; they're completely different from the last episode.”

“My Kun Kun actually came in last. What a trash show, what kind of judges are these? My Kun Kun definitely won't participate in the next episode.”

“After reading Young Master Ping's lyrics, I'm feeling emo. I miss my soldier boy over 200 kilometers away even more.”

“Girl upstairs, where did you find him? Introduce one to me too. I'm 22, measurements 90, 56, 88.”

...

After the show finished broadcasting, Chen Shaoping looked around for a beautiful figure, wondering if she had left early.

Wang Bo urged loudly from the side, “Da Ping, what are you looking for? Let's go quickly. I'm hungry, let's go get some late-night snacks.”

“I have something to do; why don't you guys head back first?” Chen Shaoping replied casually.

“Alright.”

Wang Bo agreed very readily.

When they reached a corner, he suddenly pulled Zhou Bule back, a mischievous grin on his face.

“Bu Lie, do you want to know if Da Ping is hiding something from us?”

Hearing this, Zhou Bule's eyes lit up, and he replied softly.

“I do, but don't you not know either?”

“Exactly, so let's wait here and keep a close eye on him to see what he's up to.”

“Is this really a good idea? If President Chen finds out, we'll definitely get in trouble.”

Despite saying that, Zhou Bule had already hunched over and hidden himself.

His eyes, like a falcon's, were fixed on Chen Shaoping's figure.

Wang Bo glanced at him and cursed inwardly, “What a poser!”

He also mimicked Zhou Bule and hid himself.

Meanwhile, Chen Shaoping was getting anxious since he hadn't seen Li Li's figure.

Because the time for Intelligence 2 was drawing closer.

He took out his phone and dialed.

“Hello, who are you looking for?”

A sweet voice came through.

“Hello, I'm Young Master Ping. You must be Ms. Li Li!”

Chen Shaoping introduced himself first, fearing that if he wasted a single word, the other side would hang up immediately.

“Oh! It's me.”

“Teacher Young Master Ping? The Teacher Young Master Ping who was just recording at CCTV?”

Li Li's voice grew significantly louder, and she seemed a bit excited.

“Yes, it's the Teacher Young Master Ping who just finished recording.”

“Teacher Young Master Ping, is there something you need from me?”

“It's like this, Ms. Li Li.”

“I know you're going to participate in the International Piano Competition. I have two piano pieces here that should be suitable for your competition.”

A scream reached Chen Shaoping's ears.

“Really? Teacher Young Master Ping, I'm in CCTV's Restroom No. 1. Are you still in the CCTV Studio?”

“Yes, I know where Restroom No. 1 is. I'll come find you.”

After hanging up, Chen Shaoping hurried toward Restroom No. 1.

This action looked different in the eyes of Wang Bo and Zhou Bule.

They felt that Chen Shaoping leaving in such a hurry after hanging up meant he definitely had a guilty conscience or was about to do something bad.

The two looked at each other and, without the slightest hesitation, hurriedly followed.

Luckily for them, they didn't run into anyone else.

Otherwise, with their suspicious behavior, they would have been caught as thieves.

Chen Shaoping arrived outside Restroom No. 1 and knocked gently.

A beautiful woman opened the door and invited Chen Shaoping inside.

Seeing this, Wang Bo couldn't help but mutter, “I knew this kid was up to no good, but when did he hook up with this woman?”

He also looked at Zhou Bule, wanting to ask for his thoughts.

Zhou Bule threw up his hands and shook his head, indicating he didn't know either.

Seeing this, Wang Bo stopped talking and waved him over.

He was in the front, with Zhou Bule behind him.

The two quietly approached Restroom No. 1 and pressed their ears against the door, trying to hear what was happening inside.
