Chapter 1219: Chapter 1213 Puge Got Into Trouble

At this moment, Director Wen stood up and announced the end of the first episode of the recording of "The Great Debate on Journey to the West," prompting everyone to stand up and give a warm round of applause. All four guests also stood up to show their gratitude, and Director Wen went forward to shake hands with each of them, thanking them with his words.

To be honest, this episode of "The Great Debate on Journey to the West" was a great success, especially the viewpoints expressed by Li Changlin, which simply overturned many people’s preconceived notions.

However, Li Changlin was not speaking empty words; he produced various pieces of evidence from books, convincing everyone wholeheartedly.

Even Professor Cai and Professor Luo, who were acting like divas before, were completely subdued by Li Changlin’s arguments.

Now, both of their expressions had greatly changed, and their attitude toward Li Changlin was completely different. Describing them as being initially arrogant and then respectful would not be an exaggeration.

Of course, Li Changlin naturally wouldn’t stoop to their level.

And since both of them were, after all, elders, Li Changlin certainly wouldn’t mock or ridicule them.

Afterward, the audience began to leave one by one. Many were still immersed and couldn’t help discussing the potential mysteries still hidden in the text as they walked.

But of course, none of this had anything to do with Li Changlin anymore.

Once the audience in the studio had all left, Li Changlin and his group had already retreated to backstage, where Director Wen was clapping his hands with a smile saying, "Today’s program was very successful. I just discussed it with the assistant director, and the atmosphere on set was great. We hardly need to do much post-production, and it can be released directly. If nothing goes wrong, the show will be broadcast on TV tomorrow night at nine o’clock."

"That fast?" Professor Cai was slightly startled. He had participated in several TV shows in the past, and usually, there was a gap of at least three days or more from recording to airing, and some shows could even take as long as ten days to half a month.

"To air in just one day, we must have set a record," said Professor Luo, who stood next to Professor Cai and couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

He, just like Professor Cai, had frequent interactions with Dragon TV. Appearing on shows for him was an annual occurrence, a few times over. However, he had not expected today’s episode to achieve such great success.

"Let’s not worry about breaking records. Right now, what’s most important is tomorrow’s ratings after it goes live. If the ratings meet our expectations, then we may need to rush to prepare for the second episode’s recording," said Director Wen, speaking softly with a smile.

Although "The Great Debate on Journey to the West" is highly valued by the station’s leaders, in the end, everything depends on the ratings.

If the ratings aren’t good, no matter how much the leaders value the program, it will eventually be axed.

"Ratings shouldn’t be a problem."

"Yes, Mr. Li was fantastic today."

"Speaking of which, we owe an apology to Li Changlin."

The crowd chattered, and following this, Professor Cai and Professor Luo both nodded and apologized to Li Changlin, who modestly dismissed it with repeated protestations.

"Let’s do this; since it’s getting late, let’s all go out for a casual meal. I’ll treat everyone to dinner tonight." Seeing everyone getting along so well, Director Wen truly relaxed.

"Sure, I don’t have a problem."

"Alright, Director Wen, you arrange it, just don’t splurge too much."

"I’m fine with anything."

Professor Cai and the others expressed their agreement, and then everyone turned to look at Li Changlin.

In such a situation, it was hard for Li Changlin to decline, so he was about to nod in agreement when suddenly his phone rang. Li Changlin promptly excused himself, "Sorry, let me take this call. Please excuse me, I need to ask my leader first before I can join you for dinner."

Li Changlin thought it was Ye Xiyao or the other two ladies calling him, so while speaking, he took out his phone.

On the phone was an unknown number, not any of the three ladies, so Li Changlin directly declined the call and then said with a smile, "No problem now, Director Wen can make the arrangements."

After rejecting the call, Li Changlin was about to put his phone back in his pocket. He usually didn’t answer calls from unknown numbers since there were too many scammers in society nowadays, and sometimes their tricks could be really unpredictable.

Although Li Changlin wasn’t worried about being deceived himself, he also didn’t want to waste his time on such meaningless things.

"Okay, then let’s go to Huarui," Director Wen laughed heartily, gesturing boldly with his hand.

The expenses at Huarui were not low, but Director Wen’s salary was quite substantial.

Treating someone to Huarui did not put any pressure on Director Wen at all.

Naturally, no one objected, and so the group, chatting and laughing, left backstage.

Once in the courtyard of Dragon TV, Li Changlin’s phone rang again. Annoyed, he scratched his head and took the phone out of his pocket.

On a glance, it was the same unknown number. Li Changlin immediately pressed the decline button without hesitation.

Really annoying. They must think he’s easy to bully. If they dared to call again, he’d put the number straight into the blacklist.

Li Changlin thought fiercely, but then he unlocked his phone and sent a message to Ye Xiyao, informing the three ladies that he was going to dine out with the show crew and asked them to go back on their own.

After sending the message, Director Wen had already arranged for a minibus to come over, and everyone boarded the vehicle one by one. Just then, Li Changlin’s phone rang again, but it wasn’t a call; it was a text message.

He thought it was a reply from Ye Xiyao, so he quickly opened it, only to see that it was from the same number that had called his phone twice before, displaying four words: "It’s Ya’er."

Ya’er, Li Changlin, of course, knew her. She was currently a host under the Changlin Feixue Legion and also Brother Grape’s mistress.

Finding it odd, Li Changlin dialed the number.

The phone connected quickly, and before Li Changlin could speak, sobs from Ya’er came through, "Brother Changlin, something has happened to Puge!"

"What?" Li Changlin was shocked and quickly asked, "Ya’er, what happened? What issue has Brother Grape encountered?"

Ya’er’s Puge was none other than Zhao Pu, also known as Li Changlin’s die-hard fan, Little Dot Under the Grapevine.

Hearing that he was in trouble, Li Changlin naturally couldn’t remain indifferent.

"I don’t know what’s going on exactly, Puge was fine before, but he suddenly fainted a short while ago. I’ve called the emergency services and taken Puge to the hospital, and the doctors, the doctors say Puge is not going to make it!" came Ya’er’s sobbing voice over the phone.
