Chapter 1206: Chapter 1200: Two Old Fellas

If Professor Cai and Professor Luo’s delay is too long, he will soon be buried in complaints from his colleagues.

But the situation is what it is, and Wen Chengzai is powerless.

He can’t just give up on Professor Cai and Professor Luo and choose to record the program directly, can he?

Without Professor Cai and Professor Luo, what draw does the grand "Journey to the West" have!

Not to mention whether the audience will be convinced, just the crowd here alone would tear him to shreds.

And an even more important point is that Wen Chengzai does not have faith in the capabilities of Li Changlin and Professor Ma.

If it were Li Changlin singing and Professor Ma lecturing, that might be acceptable, but for "The Grand Journey to the West," one must have genuine knowledge and a considerable amount of research on "Journey to the West" to be able to present something meaningful.

Time ticked away, by the minute, by the second, and soon it was half past three.

Neither Professor Cai nor Professor Luo had arrived, and Wen Chengzai was close to despair.

"What’s going on, why haven’t we started shooting?"

"It seems that both Professor Cai and Professor Luo haven’t arrived, is there a problem with the show?"

"Don’t tell me, I took special leave to come here just to interact with Professor Luo up close."

"The time has already come."

"Could they be stuck in traffic?"

"That shouldn’t be the case, typically one would head out early for this kind of situation!"

"Could it be that the production team didn’t communicate well with the two professors?"

The audience was abuzz with discussion.

In the past, when recording TV shows, the station had never encountered such a situation.

Seeing the rising commotion among the crowd, Wen Chengzai’s heart was even more conflicted. He then turned to a crew member and said, "Make another call, ask if Professor Cai and Professor Luo have arrived. Really, it’s almost three forty. If they don’t come soon, we’ll be in trouble today!"

"I’ve just called them, the professors said they’ve arrived at the TV station and should be together now." The crew member Mantou was sweating profusely; in fact, he had already reported to Wen Chengzai right after making the call.

Upon hearing this, Wen Chengzai suddenly realized.

"Understood, call them again and urge them to come up quickly, I can barely hold on here!" There was no choice, the two professors’ reputations were too great, and Wen Chengzai was now waiting for them to save the day. If it were someone else, Director Wen might have already been yelling for a replacement.

"Here they come, here comes Professor Luo!"

"The person walking with him is Professor Cai."

Just then, someone in the audience shouted.

Wen Chengzai immediately turned his head to look and saw two scholars in suits slowly striding from backstage—none other than Professor Cai and Professor Luo!

"Ah, professors, you’ve finally arrived!" Seeing them, Wen Chengzai hurried forward with a smile to greet them.

"There was a traffic jam on the way here, and then I ran into Professor Cai at the TV station. We exchanged some views about the program, so I was late coming up." Professor Luo nodded towards Wen Chengzai, looking somewhat coy and explained the reason for his tardiness in a nonchalant tone.

"My situation was pretty similar to Professor Luo’s, but as you know, it’s quite far from our side. Even though I set off half an hour early, I was still late due to the traffic." Professor Cai also spoke up to explain.

Wen Chengzai quickly responded with a sheepish smile, "No worries, no worries. Professors, please come over, I’ll introduce you to the other distinguished guests."

"Alright." Professor Cai and Professor Luo both nodded in unison and followed Wen Chengzai to the guest seats.

"Professor Cai, Professor Luo, this is Professor Ma, he works at Linhai University, and this is Li Changlin, a well-known internet host, a contestant on Xuanyuan’s Good Voice. Professor Ma, Mr. Li, this is Professor Cai, and this is Professor Luo." Wen Chengzai stretched out his hand, giving a brief introduction to the four of them.

Professor Ma and Li Changlin both stood up, smiling and reaching out to shake hands, "Professor Cai, Professor Luo, nice to meet you."

Both Professor Cai and Professor Luo casually nodded in acknowledgment, shook hands with Professor Ma, but ignored Li Changlin.

The two professors were quite dismissive of online broadcasting, having repeatedly caught students watching livestreams during their lectures, which made them profoundly averse to such things.

So, they just casually nodded at Li Changlin as if to greet him.

Suddenly, Li Changlin’s hand was left hanging in the air, his expression awkward to the extreme.

For fuck’s sake, The Nearly Divine Tycoon offers respect to the elderly, and now you’re trying to one-up me!

Suddenly, Li Changlin’s face darkened.

"That will do, Director Wen. We can start now," Professor Cai said as if he hadn’t noticed Li Changlin’s expression, turning his head towards Wen Chengzai and speaking leisurely.

"Professor Cai, aren’t you getting a bit ahead of yourself?" Li Changlin had always been this way: respect me a foot, and I’ll respect you a yard.

Ignoring him, Professor Cai and Professor Luo humiliated him in front of hundreds of audience members in the studio. With his personality, how could he possibly tolerate it.

"Oh, do you have an opinion, young man!" Upon hearing this, Professor Cai turned back and looked at Li Changlin with a teasing stare, "Young man, do you even know where you are?"

"Where! Great question, Professor Cai. I’d also like to ask you, do you know where you are!" Li Changlin’s gaze sharpened, and he responded coldly.

"Oh, arguing with me, eh!" Professor Cai’s mouth twitched into a smile, speaking softly and slowly, "Young man, don’t get so heated. Let me remind you of something. This is the stage of The Great Journey to the West program. Do you know Journey to the West? It’s one of the four great classical novels of Xuanyuan Country. I believe you would surely say you have read it. Now tell me, do you understand what the essence of Journey to the West is!"

"Heh heh, they’re going at it now!"

"Looks like we’re in for a good show today!"

"Professor Cai’s words have always been very sharp, and this Li Changlin seems to have met his match!"

"Li Changlin is just an internet broadcaster. Even though he has gained some popularity by participating in Xuanyuan’s Good Voice, how can his fame be on par with Professor Cai and Professor Luo!"

"Yeah, especially for a classic like Journey to the West, I heard the two professors have spent two or three decades studying it."

"Journey to the West is just a mythological tale, what’s there to study about!"

"Brother, it seems you really don’t understand, let me explain it to you in detail."

The discussions in the audience grew even louder.

"This damn Professor Cai, I’m going to beat the crap out of him!" In the audience, Lin Ruonan suddenly clenched her fists, her face darkening as she stood up.
