Lin Chudong was deeply gratified and gave everyone the sheet music, rehearsing for a long time at the music store.
The bar performance was also postponed, and that was that. It was basically impossible to see Da Fei at a bar from now on.
Two days later, Lin Chudong glanced at the treasure chest. There were still a dozen or so hours, and it should open tomorrow morning.
A red treasure chest! He wondered if it would contain something amazing.
The immediate goal was to make this performance perfect.
Backstage, Liang Yin and the others had arrived early. After all, they weren't big names, and they couldn't allow the organizers to find any fault. This was also a resource that Tian Yingxiong had spent a lot of effort to secure.
Liang Yin said, "Everyone, perform well. Today is our first battle. We have to make it a success! I'll be waiting below to celebrate with you!"
At this moment, a director from the venue walked over.
"Liang Yin Band, right? You're up second."
Liang Yin nodded quickly, "Okay."
Being the second act meant they were the lowest-billed band at this music festival. Da Fei's band would undoubtedly be the headliners.
Seeing that everyone seemed a bit dejected, Lin Chudong said, "Don't be discouraged. The sooner we're done, the sooner we can go home."
Meanwhile, Shen Jianbin, still in the car, saw the program schedule and was immediately furious.
"What's the joke? What level are they at? How dare they perform on the same stage as us? Did the organizers make a mistake?"
Sun Jie also frowned, "Looks like Da Fei still has some connections. They're on the music festival already? Just with the song 'Chengdu'?"
Shen Jianbin's face was grim. He took out his phone and made a call.
"Hello, President Meng, there's something I'd like to discuss with you..."
Lin Chudong and the others were putting on their makeup. Jing Feifei had even put on her studded leather jacket when suddenly, the director walked over.
"Liang Yin Band, right? I'm sorry, but your performance has been canceled."
Everyone was stunned.
Liang Yin quickly asked, "Director, why? Didn't we agree?"
"There's no why, the time is too tight, so we had to cut you."
With that, the director turned and hurried away.
The faces of the group turned grim, and the atmosphere immediately became heavy.
Jia Lu pouted, her eyes instantly reddening.
They had prepared for days, only to be pulled at the last minute. Anyone would find it unacceptable.
Liang Yin gritted her teeth, "I'll go ask again!"
Liang Yin quickly chased after them and grabbed the director, saying,
"Director, what exactly is going on? If it's a problem with the appearance fee, we can talk about it again."
After Liang Yin pestered him for a long time, the director said helplessly,
"This isn't my decision. It's what President Meng said. You all should think about if you've offended anyone. I've said all I can, don't delay my work any further."
A moment later, Liang Yin returned, looking dejected, and explained what had happened.
Chen Jianguo spat, "No need to ask, it's definitely Shen Jianbin's doing."
Everyone clenched their fists. Shen Jianbin was truly despicable, not giving them any room to breathe!
Lin Chudong said, "You guys wait here. I'll go and try my luck."
Lin Chudong used the Lucky Card and walked towards the backstage.
He had to use the Lucky Card at this moment. It was expected that Shen Jianbin would use Da Fei's band's reputation to pressure him.
Given Shen Jianbin's character, seeing Lin Chudong show signs of a comeback, he would definitely nip it in the bud.
He used the Lucky Card, hoping there was a solution.
In a small square backstage, a middle-aged man was playing with a seven or eight-year-old girl.
The little girl wouldn't stop crying.
"Xin Xin, be good. It's just a dog. We don't need it!"
Xin Xin was crying very hard. "No, I want it!"
Not far in front of the little girl, a yellow Shiba Inu was glaring at them with bared teeth.
There were a few young men beside the middle-aged man, holding sticks, but they were also helpless at the moment.
"President Meng, what should we do? We can't let this dog hurt the young miss. Should I just kill it?"
Xin Xin cried even harder. "Don't kill my dog, wuu wuu..."
Meng Wenxiang was frowning deeply, his head throbbing.
This dog was Xin Xin's dog. It had been fine, but the music had agitated it, and it suddenly became ferocious. It had almost bitten Xin Xin just now.
Xin Xin was President Meng Wenxiang's precious daughter, his apple of the eye, he couldn't let her get so much as a scratch.
But this was Xin Xin's dog, which she'd raised for over a year, and the bond was deep. They couldn't hurt the dog either. It was a headache for the bodyguards, trying to make it docile.
President Meng was frowning, deep in thought, when suddenly a voice spoke.
"The dog is guarding its food. There's something under its paws."
The group was stunned for a moment. Two bodyguards stepped forward to stop him.
"Who are you?"
Lin Chudong spread his hands. "I'm a singer here to perform. I heard the dog barking and came over to see what was happening. I've raised dogs before, and I've encountered this situation."
President Meng frowned. "I recognize you, Da Fei."
"This dog is a mad dog. If it doesn't work out, I'll have to..."
President Meng made a throat-slitting gesture.
He didn't want to see his daughter hurt or sad, but when weighing the two evils, safety was more important.
Lin Chudong said, "Let me try!"
With that, he walked over step by step.
"Woof!"
As he got closer, the dog glared at him menacingly, barking loudly.
Suddenly, Lin Chudong made a gesture with his hands as if he was going to choke it.
"Don't bark!"
The dog was fierce, but Lin Chudong was even fiercer.
The Advanced Pet Training he'd obtained before finally came in handy!
After Lin Chudong roared at it a couple of times, the dog immediately retreated a few steps, scared.
Lin Chudong dug out a sausage from under its paws and threw it away. The dog instantly became well-behaved.
"Alright, it was just startled by the speakers and got protective of its food. We'll be fine after some training."
"Big Yellow!"
Xin Xin called out, and the dog obediently walked over, starting to wag its tail again.
For Lin Chudong, training this puppy was a piece of cake.
Meng Wenxiang walked over and shook hands with Lin Chudong.
"Hello, I'm Meng Wenxiang."
"Hello, President Meng, I'm Lin Chudong."
Meng Wenxiang said, "Your song is good. I've heard it. What number are you performing today?"
Lin Chudong gave a wry smile. "My performance was canceled by the director. I was just about to go to the bathroom and head home."
Meng Wenxiang feigned surprise. "What? That happened? How did that happen?"
Lin Chudong chuckled inwardly. As expected of a president, his acting was top-notch. His acting skills were better than most of those fresh-faced young idols.
"The director said there wasn't enough time."
Meng Wenxiang said, "I'll make a call and ask."
"Hello, what's going on? How did you arrange Da Fei's performance?"
"Who told you to cancel it? Get it rescheduled for me immediately."
"Put it in the second-to-last slot, and arrange it as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, President Meng smiled and said.
"Thank you for today, I've had them arrange everything for you. Such an outstanding singer, of course we can't miss out on, we should cooperate more often in the future!"
