After offending capital, my songs became more and more popular.

Chapter 229 A Fatal Blow!

The next day.

early morning.

Shen Ming'en got up very early. His alarm rang around six o'clock. Wearing his pajamas, Haji'en stood by the window, pulled back the curtains, and looked out. When he saw that the dark clouds from last night had dispersed and the morning sun was rising high in the distance, a faint smile appeared on his lips. He then ran to the bathroom to wash his face, pulled out a set of sportswear from his suitcase, put it on, grabbed his room key, phone, and other personal belongings, and went out.

Shen Ming'en likes to go to unfamiliar cities because they give him a fresh feeling. He usually learns about the customs and culture of foreign countries through his mobile phone. Since arriving, he has been busy with performances and rehearsals all day long and has not had time to explore. Today, he took a break from his busy schedule and went out to see the sights during his morning exercise.

"Huh...huh..."

The city streets were almost deserted at six o'clock. The morning air was very fresh, and the streets were very clean. The air, fresh from the rain, carried a hint of earthy smell, which put people in a very good mood.

As it turns out, today was indeed a good day. Shen Ming'en finished his morning exercise at around 7:00 AM. He had just returned to the hotel, washed up, changed his clothes, and gone downstairs for dinner when he ran into Teacher Chen Guangrong.

"Ming En!"

From afar, Teacher Chen waved to him, calling him to come over and have dinner together.

Shen Ming'en waved briefly and then carried his plate over.

"I really can't stand this breakfast. What is this stuff..." Teacher Chen complained as she ate, "Where the hell do you eat rice first thing in the morning?!"

What do people in our country eat for breakfast?

If we're not talking about roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), danji guanbing (egg pancake), or jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe), then at least let me have a youtiao (fried dough stick), youbing (fried dough cake), or doufunao (tofu pudding)?
If you eat something light, like a boiled egg and some eight-treasure porridge, you won't have any problems, right?
Let's take a look at what they eat on a simpler day...

Okra, natto, tofu, rice...

If there's even a little bit of fish or shrimp, I wouldn't dare eat it!

Would you dare to eat seafood that's fished out of the river's wastewater?

The worst part is that they feed people raw eggs...

If it weren't for some sushi and such, Teacher Chen really felt like he would have gone three days without eating nine meals.

Shen Ming'en scratched his head. He wasn't particularly picky about food, but he asked Teacher Chen, "Where's our troupe leader?"

The restaurant serves self-service meals, but there are time restrictions. Basically, everyone comes to eat around the same time in the morning. Zhao Qu is usually there, but I haven't seen him today. What's going on?

Shen Ming'en was unhappy if Teacher Chen didn't mention it, but as soon as it was brought up, Teacher Chen laughed heartily, waved his hand, and said:

"Off to the airport!"

"What's he doing at the airport?" Shen Ming'en asked, a mouthful of sushi in his mouth. "Is there any guest he needs to pick up personally?"

“What the hell is he talking about…” Teacher Chen picked up the miso soup next to her, took a sip, and almost spat it out. She grimaced and said to Shen Ming’en, ​​“I bought the earliest plane ticket last night and went back to China this morning.”

"What?"

Shen Ming'en was a little confused after hearing that...

Going back to China... what the heck?

"What's going on?" Although he felt it was a good thing, Shen Ming'en was still a little confused as to why the troupe leader, Zhao Qu, left so easily.
"Don't you know what's going on, haha..."

Teacher Chen laughed heartily and started talking to Shen Ming'en...

It seems that the post Shen Ming'en made online had an effect, and the higher-ups took the matter very seriously. They then contacted Zhao Qu overnight and asked him to return to China to accept the investigation.

So strictly speaking, it was Shen Ming'en who "harmed" Zhao Qu.

"You're something else!" Patting Shen Ming'en on the shoulder, Teacher Chen laughed loudly, "This old rascal is such a jerk, he had nothing better to do than come and talk to you. It would have been better if he hadn't talked to you at all, because this talk has ruined him, hahaha..."

Looking back now, he realized he had worried about Shen Ming'en for nothing. When that kid really got tough, no one could beat him!
Shen Ming'en smiled along. Although he still remembered what Hoshino Rin had mentioned to him last night, getting rid of Zhao Qu was a good thing no matter what.

"What do we do with the troupe leader's position if it's vacant?" Shen Ming'en asked.

"Judging from this situation, if Lao Zhao is in big trouble and can't come back, the higher-ups will most likely send a new troupe leader," Teacher Chen picked up his water glass, took a sip, and said, "They might just appoint someone from the existing staff."

As he spoke, he patted Shen Ming'en on the shoulder and laughed, "Your good days are coming, kid. If someone from the current group is appointed, I'll be your father-in-law."

Shen Ming'en felt a little embarrassed saying this: "How has his health been lately?"

"...Why don't you care about my health?" Teacher Chen rolled his eyes.

"Look, you're even jealous now..." Shen Ming'en teased.

"go with!"

The two chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant. At this point, Teacher Chen probably thought the matter was over.

Unexpectedly, at this very moment...

"Old Chen!"

Not far away, an elderly artist approached and called out to Chen Guangrong. When Chen Guangrong turned to look, he saw the man frowning, handing him a document, and saying:

"The locations for the performances the day after tomorrow have been announced."

"Come out, come out, what's the problem..."

Chen Guangrong initially didn't think much of it, and there were basically no problems with the performance addresses on the documents.

The senior artist who handed Chen Guangrong the documents frowned and shook his head. He then pointed to the performance venue listed in Shen Ming'en's documents, and whispered something in Chen Guangrong's ear...

"where?!"

His eyes widened, and he stood up abruptly, his angry voice instantly echoing throughout the restaurant:

"He cursed the neighbor Zhao Qu, that bastard, and left alone, still disgusting people!"

There were quite a few people having breakfast in the restaurant. Although it was already noisy, everyone kept their voices low. But as soon as Chen Guangrong opened his mouth, he instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Teacher Chen..."

Seeing this, Shen Ming'en quickly joined forces with the person next to him to pull Teacher Chen to sit down, saying that it was not appropriate to make such a loud noise in a public place.

"Do you know where it's taking you?!"

Teacher Chen's face turned red with anger, and he said these words through gritted teeth, his voice almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

I'm furious!

Chen Guangrong never expected that Zhao Qu would cause trouble even before leaving!

They actually arranged a special performance for Shen Ming'en at the location of the Jingguo Divine Toilet!
Yes!
The location listed on the performance list might not be explicitly stated, but it's very close by. And according to that friend, someone will arrange for Shen Ming'en to perform alone on that day, right at the entrance!
When Chen Guangrong heard this, he felt as if his cerebellum had shrunk a bit...

He's making a big enough scene, afraid his superiors won't punish him when he gets back, right?!
It's important to understand that if it were just about "changing the song," even if Shen Mingen had already posted a message openly "complaining," as long as Zhao Qu insisted that it was Shen Mingen who insisted on changing the song and that it had nothing to do with him, and the two sides started tearing each other apart, even if he was punished, it would only mean that he would be removed from his position as the head of the troupe for this event.

If Shen Mingen were assigned to perform in such a sensitive place... Yes, indeed, Shen Mingen might eventually run into trouble, but Zhao Qu estimated that he would find it difficult to continue in his original position!
Is it really that insane?!

What exactly did that bastard Qin Yu give him?!

Is it really necessary?

It must be said that Chen Guangrong was quite perceptive; he could tell at a glance that this was something Zhao Qu couldn't have done alone, and that someone must have been pulling the strings behind the scenes.

As for who those people are, Chen Guangrong could figure it out even with a fool's feet!
"I told you you shouldn't have agreed to come along for the performance!" Teacher Chen can't keep too many things to herself, and now she's bringing this up again.

Shen Ming'en was used to this. He smiled wryly and said, "Teacher Chen, calm down. If the sky were to collapse, it would fall on me anyway. You don't need to worry about me too much."

"...Is this the time to compare who's taller?!" Chen Guangrong gritted his teeth: "Do you even know what performing there means?!"

This matter is not as simple as it sounds...

Once the news that "Shen Mingen is about to perform at the Jingguo Shenfu" gets out, do you know what kind of uproar it will cause in China?!
And indeed, facts have proven that Professor Chen Guangrong's "concerns" were not unfounded...

Domestically, on social media, after Shen Ming'en's performance of "Red Cliff" yesterday, the entire internet was discussing the song and the story behind it.

The trending topics are all about:

"#The Red-Haired Girl!#"

"#The story behind 'Red Dress'!"

"#Shen Ming'en posts on Weibo accusing the head of the 'Silk Road Blossoms' troupe!"

Such entries.

Countless netizens are currently on the path of standing up for Shen Mingen, filled with righteous indignation and demanding justice for him as a citizen of our country!

But it was at this moment...

Suddenly, the following rumor appeared online:

#Shen Ming'en is about to perform at the Jingguo Sacred Toilet!#

The "Jingguo Divine Toilet" is a place that those who know, know. Every deity enshrined there has done things that are utterly outrageous to our country and committed heinous crimes!
That wretched place, no matter when, could be so devastating that a little boy could blast it up and uproot everything around it.

As Chinese citizens, we should all feel a deep revulsion towards such desolate places. As public figures and celebrities, we should also avoid such sensitive locations as much as possible.

Didn't someone in the Chinese entertainment industry get banned for visiting this awful place?

That idiot deserves to be killed, let alone banned!

This place can no longer be described as "sensitive"; the word "restricted area" would be more appropriate.

Our country and people cannot tolerate a fellow citizen going to such a place under any circumstances.

Forget about paying homage, you can't even go there!

Although performing in the vicinity is not as egregious as "shrine visits," performing for the people worshipped there is still unacceptable to our citizens!

Perhaps because the afterglow of "Red Cliff" was still lingering, many netizens were initially quite rational, and there were still many people speaking up for Shen Ming'en online, with comments flooding the comments section:

[Ber, is Shen Ming'en being set up again?]

[Damn it, time and time again, is this ever going to end?!]

These BYD fans are truly determined to destroy Shen Ming'en!

[I strongly urge the authorities to thoroughly investigate who is trying to harm such a patriotic celebrity!]

……

But soon...

Foreign netizens on the other side of the internet have started to "exert their efforts".

On domestic platforms, a large number of netizens from the other side of the world suddenly appeared out of nowhere, leaving comments like crazy in the comment sections of various related videos and posts:

What's going on? So in the end, isn't it all just a show for us, a show for our ancestors?

To me, this person seems to have great respect for our country; otherwise, why would he perform at a shrine when asked to do so?

[You keep saying someone deliberately harmed him, but he could have easily not come. No one held a knife to his throat; in the end, he came of his own volition!]

Regardless of what he sang, I think as long as it met our requirements, Ming En-san was pretty good.

It seems we misunderstood Ming En-san...

I think it would be best if he could go in and pay his respects on the day of his performance.

……

Stirring things up!

These netizens with the "Little Life IP" are clearly stirring up trouble!

Many netizens in the Chinese entertainment industry were initially just watching the drama unfold, but once these "little rascals" joined the fray, they instantly disrupted the entire situation, enraging many in the Chinese entertainment community. Numerous comments were circulating online.
Can one person represent the whole?

"He's just an actor. Let him sing for you if he wants. We don't need this kind of traitor..."

[It would be best to just let him become your citizen. The day we conquer your island nation, we'll wipe him out too!]

If you ask me, we should eliminate him first!

……

To be honest, these people are somewhat irrational...

I was really annoyed by those netizens who used the "little life IP" thing. I wanted to curse them but didn't know how to refute them.

These bastards made a very good point: "No one forced Shen Ming'en, no one held a knife to his throat. If he didn't want to come, he didn't have to. Since he came, it means he came of his own volition."

Just like the matter of "changing the song," perhaps it is true that Shen Ming'en's "Red Silk" and the story behind it are very touching, but in the end, it is also a fact that he "changed the song."

Does the fact that the story behind the song "Red-Clad" is very similar to his own experience cover up the fact that he "changed the song"?
According to them, if they come, it must be because they wanted to come!

The Chinese entertainment netizens, who didn't know how to refute it, immediately became furious!

That anger was naturally vented on Shen Ming'en.

This time, it's a bit different from the last "song change" incident. This time, the comments section on Shen Ming'en's side isn't full of people calling him a "traitor." Instead, it's all voices expressing their incomprehension about his agreement to go to the sacred toilet!
But it's just this voice!
That would be enough to deal a fatal blow to Shen Ming'en!

If he insists on going, there will definitely be problems!
