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

Chapter 236 The Sugiguchi Group is knocking on my door? An opportunity to serve my country has arrived!

News of the performance may have appeared in the sight of netizens in the Chinese entertainment industry many days in advance, but the real "performance preview" was only released today through the official accounts of the troupe on various platforms.

At that time, although many people were a little surprised, they did not attack and smear Shen Ming'en as frantically as before.

It's normal. After all, the incident with the clean toilet has just passed. This matter is not on the same level as the previous "Red Ling" incident. "Red Ling" was just a way to criticize and subtly criticize Xiao Rizi through some history. It was harmless. People on Xiao Rizi's side even said that since "changing the song" is a fact, Shen Ming'en will respect them no matter what.
This time, the graffiti was nothing compared to what happened at the clean toilet; he actually urinated on it!

If this isn't considered a blatant slap in the face and an insult, then what is?
It would be more appropriate to actually give them a shot of a little boy!
They're so despicable!
Because the incident at the Cleansing Toilet had just happened and was still fresh in everyone's mind, even though Shen Ming'en still went to perform at the Cleansing Toilet as originally planned the next day, people had some doubts but wouldn't say anything too harsh or target Shen Ming'en.

Most people probably think that Shen Ming'en was likely trying to save face for both sides...

After all, he had done something so outrageous. Although neither side's superiors had said anything, Shen Ming'en couldn't let his mother be put in a difficult position no matter what.

Everything has a face and a substance. Graffitiing and urinating in the Jingguo Sacred Toilet is the substance, so performing in the Jingguo Sacred Toilet is naturally the face.

"International friendship" is something that always needs to be maintained.

Even though there were comments in the comment section saying things like "Hajime, blink if you're being threatened," there were no criticisms of Shen Ming'en. Everyone was supporting him!
In short, at this moment, everyone's evaluation of Shen Mingen is based on "absolute trust in Shen Mingen"!
There are no problems with the domestic entertainment industry, and our family will definitely provide full support for Shen Ming'en...

But life is different over there!

Those netizens on the other side of the internet, just like those on the Korean side, they'll probably still be stubborn even after being cremated!
Regarding Shen Ming'en's decision to still perform at the Jingguo Sacred Toilet today, we actually called it an "apology!"

In the related comment section, netizens with the "small life" IP were spamming the comments like crazy:

【Ha, do we need to tell them why they're still performing?!】

[He did something so outrageous, it's already a favor that he wasn't forced to commit seppuku. Shouldn't he at least put on a show?!]

Atone for your own mistakes by putting on a good show for our ancestors and appeasing their anger!

An apology must be sincere!

……

These words immediately amused the audience in the Chinese entertainment industry...

Apologize?

If Hajime apologizes, I'll write my name Shen backwards!

Others may not understand Shen Ming'en, but don't these netizens in the Chinese entertainment industry understand him?!
If he would apologize, then he wouldn't have done this in the first place!
Since his debut, facing so much pressure and suppression from capital, have you ever seen him back down in time?!
Who is behind him?
It is this powerful motherland with 1.4 billion people!

He apologized?
Why!
Netizens on Xiaorizi's side disagreed, still insisting that Shen Mingen came to "apologize"...

The two sides' netizens started arguing again.

……

This is where life is going.

The time from early morning to afternoon seems long, but those dozen or so hours seem to have passed in the blink of an eye.

After refusing Mr. Chen Guangrong's request to go to the airport immediately to catch a flight back to China, Shen Ming'en asked his staff to change or cancel his ticket, and then took a car back to his hotel to rest.

I spent the entire night at the police station in Xiao Rizi. Although they didn't take any action against me, it was still quite a ordeal to spend the whole night in that small single cell. There was no bed, and the floor was too hard to lie on...

He took off his clothes, covered himself with the blanket, and went to sleep. Shen Ming'en slept very soundly. Luckily, he had set an alarm clock, otherwise he would have slept forever.

When Shen Ming'en finally came to his senses, it was already a little past 2:30 in the afternoon. He had just rubbed his sleepy eyes, sat up, and taken a sip of water...

"Dong dong dong..."

Outside the room, the theater troupe staff knocked on the door promptly.

"Teacher Ming'en, it's time to go," the staff member said.

"Okay, I'll be right there after I change my clothes," Shen Ming'en replied casually.

After quickly washing his face and changing his clothes, Shen Ming'en was greeted by staff waiting at the door as he left, who then escorted him out of the car.

It's worth mentioning that when Shen Ming'en got into the car, he noticed that Hoshino Rin was also sitting in the car...

"Are you also going to perform at the Jingguo Divine Toilet?" Shen Ming'en asked.

Shen Ming'en understood why Hoshino Rin had followed him to live near the sacred toilet. He figured it was the work of those greedy capitalists. Now that he was about to go to a performance, why was she still following him?

Shouldn't we avoid any appearance of impropriety?

Didn't what happened last night get her into trouble?
You should know that last night in the sacred toilet, Shen Mingen did such an outrageous thing, and Hoshino Rin not only stayed by Shen's side the whole time, but even had "interactions" with Shen Mingen.

The fact that she and Shen Mingen were very close had already generated some discussion on Xiaorizi's social media. Last night, she witnessed Shen Mingen graffitiing and urinating in the sanctuary without stopping him, and netizens on Xiaorizi occasionally mentioned it when they were criticizing Shen Mingen...

This has led to many people on their side now cursing Hoshino Rin.

Shen Ming'en thought that since he had done such an outrageous thing, even if he wanted to "avoid suspicion," Hoshino Rin would have to stay far away from him.

She'll still have to keep going here eventually!

"...Do you believe me if I say I'm genuinely worried about you and want to stay by your side?" Hoshino Rin's bright eyes blinked as she smiled.

"I don't believe you!" Shen Ming'en rejected the offer without even thinking.

Hoshino Rin's smile vanished instantly, her eyes practically rolling to the sky. She waved her hand and said bluntly, "Someone wants to see you and asked me to help introduce them."

"Who?"

Shen Ming'en didn't take it seriously and stepped into the car.

The car slowly started moving, the scenery outside the window rushing past. Hoshino Rin frowned, glanced at Shen Ming'en, hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed silently, shaking her head as she said:

"You'll know when you get there."

"Is the person who wants to see me at the performance?" Shen Ming'en asked.

Hoshino Rin didn't answer, but just shrugged noncommittally, and then said irrelevantly, "You can still refuse to perform and go back now, but once you go, it won't be so easy to end things."

Shen Ming'en chuckled upon hearing this...

"Are you telling me that the waves are big today?" Shen Ming'en asked.

"?" Hoshino Rin, being a Japanese girl, obviously didn't get this point and looked confused upon hearing this.

Shen Mingen grinned, channeling his inner Qiang Ge (a character from a popular TV series), and launched into a "grand acting performance":
"I'm afraid of big waves?!"

"Have you forgotten what I used to do?"

"I sell fish!" "The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!"

Hoshino Rin: "(￢_￢) peek"

Although she didn't know what Shen Mingen was talking about, Hoshino Rin was certain of one thing: Shen Mingen would definitely regret his decision!

absolute!

……

When I arrived at the performance venue, it was already past four in the afternoon. Because it was a public performance and the incident had caused quite a stir, a lot of local people had gathered nearby. But perhaps because of what people online were saying, that Shen Ming'en was there for an "apology performance," these locals didn't curse at Shen Ming'en, nor did they put up banners or protest anything...

Instead, they discussed among themselves how Shen Ming'en should "apologize" to them today.

"Are you sick in the head? Sorry..."

When Shen Mingen arrived at the scene and heard about this, he almost burst out laughing.

He's not here to "apologize" today; he's here to "attack in person"!

In front of the makeup mirror, Shen Mingen was already "warming up his voice," and occasionally a few notes could be heard:

"Swords—slash down! At the heads of the Japanese devils!"

Just as Shen Ming'en was immersed in thinking about how the audience would react during the performance, there was a sudden knocking sound at the door of the dressing room.

“Mr. Ming’en,” the staff member outside the door said, “someone is looking for you.”

"Who?"

Shen Ming'en cleared his throat and turned around to see the door to his lounge being pushed open.

The staff member responsible for his makeup and notifications led the way, followed by Hoshino Rin and two or three men in black suits...

To be honest, although those men in suits looked fierce and intimidating, not like easy people to deal with, their attire and the way they walked with their hands in their pockets gave people a certain...

It has a very "extravagant" feel to it.

The man in the lead, with his slicked-back hair, gave Shen Ming'en a very awkward once-over, then asked in broken Chinese, "You're Ming'en-san?"

He didn't seem to speak Chinese, but he insisted on doing so, and what he said made every Chinese person feel disgusted from the bottom of their heart, deep in their DNA...

"If you can't speak human language, then speak your own nonsense," Shen Ming'en said impatiently. "We have translators here."

Every staff member in the troupe speaks Japanese, which is a requirement for their selection. The troupe member next to Shen Ming'en is actually his translator.

Shen Ming'en spoke at a moderate pace, and the other person seemed to understand. He frowned and glared at Shen Ming'en, a rather intimidating look. Unfortunately for Shen Ming'en, he wasn't afraid of the Japanese, so he frowned and glared back directly…

All that's missing is a shout in perfect Northeastern dialect: "What are you looking at?!"

The three opponents clearly hadn't expected Shen Ming'en to be completely unafraid of them. The tallest young man to the left and behind the slick-back-haired man shouted:
"Bagya Road!"

Then he actually raised his hand, making a gesture as if he was about to hit someone.

"Eh……"

Fortunately, the man with the slicked-back hair raised his hand in time to stop him.

To be honest, he was lucky he stopped him, because Shen Ming'en's hand was already on the small table next to him. If he was really pushed to the limit, he would just pick up this thing and hit his head. As the saying goes, a wise man doesn't eat what's in front of him. Let alone three people, even if there were a hundred or so, he would have to make sure he didn't get hurt first!
"cough……"

The man with the slicked-back hair cleared his throat, stopped talking to Shen Ming'en, and instead spoke to Hoshino Rin beside him in Japanese. It's worth mentioning that he treated Hoshino Rin quite well...

Shen Ming'en also realized that this seemed to be similar to their... Sugiguchi Group?

Like the Sugiguchi-gumi.

Perhaps it's because the public security in China is so good, but Shen Ming'en is a little uncomfortable seeing this kind of thing abroad.

A moment later, Hoshino Rin, looking rather displeased, said to Shen Ming'en:
"They asked me to tell you not to try anything funny during your performance later, and to try to sing songs that will make them happy. Many of their people are in the audience. If you don't listen..."

In the end, Hoshino Rin seemed reluctant to continue.

Even if she didn't say it, Shen Ming'en would definitely get the gist of what she was about to say.

"No, you bunch of BYD... hah~"

When Shen Ming'en pointed at those young men in suits, he was so angry he laughed.

You son of a bitch, you can't get away with open sanctions, so you're resorting to underhanded tactics with Rebel, huh?!

Shen Ming'en understood what they meant...

To put it bluntly, they were using this kind of "force" to threaten Shen Ming'en, telling him not to play any tricks and to flatter them with the songs in the upcoming performance. If he did the same thing as in "Red Cliff," then he shouldn't blame them for being impolite!

And their actions were definitely not just a simple attempt to scare Shen Ming'en...

Shen Ming'en had actually heard about this kind of culture in Xiao Rizi before. He heard that the Sugiguchi-gumi here seemed to be legal, and that they did have a "glorious era" in the past, but now they are getting poorer and poorer.

Some officials have even opened milk tea shops!

Have no idea……

It's said that they only collect less than 10,000 RMB a month in protection money. How many people are in that organization? What can that little bit of money do?
It's not just milk tea shops; there are also online live streamers. As their organizations can no longer afford to pay their "pension insurance," many young people are unwilling to join, leading to an extremely serious "aging" problem within them!
The funniest thing is that a few years ago, a member of the Sugiguchi-gumi had his house burgled, and he actually solved the problem by calling the police...

These kinds of things basically have no other path but to "become history," so Shen Ming'en initially looked down on them completely...

But then again...

Despite their decline, judging from their demeanor, it doesn't seem like they're just here to "scare" Shen Ming'en.

Everyone knows how big this incident has become. The locals will probably all "ask" them for help to make trouble for Shen Ming'en. He was brought here by Hoshino Rin, so it's hard to say whether there aren't any itchy capitalists backing him...

Therefore, their intention is now quite clear.

In other words, if Shen Mingen insists on singing songs that humiliate them, his personal safety could easily be threatened here.
"Okay...okay, okay..."

At that moment, Shen Ming'en really wanted to roar, to roar to the sky!

I've always dreamed of having an opportunity to "serve my country," and today that dream has finally come true!

We're going to fight you guys to the death!
