Peninsula: Who taught him to make that connection?!

Chapter 32 Something's happened!

With the past and present intertwined, Luo Yingshi once again thought of an old friend.

The more he looked at Jiang Tang, the more pleasing he found him to the eye. That natural sense of kinship deep within him made him wish he could introduce Jiang Tang to a few reliable TV drama directors on the spot.

"Alright, that's enough for today."

Luo Yingshi glanced at his watch, stood up, and said, "Continue writing this script. Once you've finished the first draft, I'll personally recommend you to the station's drama department. Ideally, you'll be able to skip the selection process!"

"Thank you so much, Uncle Luo!" Jiang Tang stood up and bowed in gratitude.

"Come on, I'll see you out."

Luo Yingshi warmly put his arm around Jiang Tang's shoulder, and the two walked out of the office chatting and laughing.

However, when they arrived outside the Variety Bureau, the broadcasting building, which should have been orderly, appeared somewhat chaotic.

Many staff members were in a hurry, urgently exchanging information through walkie-talkies.

Just then, a man wearing a black vest rushed over from around the corner of the corridor.

His hurried steps were like those of an ant being scalded on a stove.

Jiang Tang looked closely and saw that the man had a badge on his chest that read "Senior PD of tvN".

"Yuanhao! Why are you running so fast? Is a ghost chasing you?"

Luo Yingshi reacted quickly and grabbed the man who was about to crash into the wall.

The person who was pulled back was none other than Shin Won-ho, the ace PD of tvN's drama department.

This is the man who, together with writer Lee, created the "Reply" series, which became a sensation throughout South Korea, and became a household name as a television drama director.

Luo Yingshi was slightly surprised, as Shen Yuanhao was usually known for his calm and composed personality at the station.

But at this moment, this renowned director, who is usually unfazed even by the collapse of Mount Tai, was extremely anxious.

"Old Luo?! Quick, let go! I don't have time for jokes!"

Shin Won-ho struggled to shake off Na Young-seok's hand, his face filled with anxiety.

"What happened?" Luo Yingshi realized something was wrong, his joking expression vanished, and he frowned as he asked.

"It's all so frustrating!"

Shen Yuanhao glanced at Jiang Tang standing beside him, seemingly disregarding the need to avoid outsiders, and quickly said:

"You heard about the meeting between the station's senior management just now. SM Entertainment is finalizing an important collaboration with our station. To show their sincerity, they will arrange a stage for their currently popular boy group EXO to perform."

Luo Yingshi frowned and asked with a puzzled look.

"It's just a collaborative performance; even if it's important, it doesn't require a producer of your caliber to personally oversee it, right?"

It would have been better if this hadn't been mentioned, because upon hearing this, Shen Yuanhao's face showed an expression of disappointment and frustration.

"To give newcomers experience, the station assigned the execution of the on-site rehearsals to the apprentice I'm mentoring!"

"He usually seems pretty clever, always following me around, but when it comes to taking on a major responsibility, he's completely lost his mind! That main stage is so high up, and he didn't even double-check the safety features of the lift!"

He slammed his fist against the wall next to him, as if the punch had landed on his good-for-nothing apprentice.

"There was a medical accident?" Luo Yingshi frowned; this was a serious matter.

Shen Yuanhao looked helpless and let out a heavy sigh.

"I don't know the full situation yet, but my subordinates have reported that EXO's Baekhyun is injured!"

"Byun Baekhyun is injured?!"

Luo Yingshi's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

EXO is currently SM Entertainment's most successful cash cow, and their song "Growl," released last August, became a hit throughout South Korea.

If a medical malpractice incident were to occur during a rehearsal at the tvN building, it would not only tarnish the collaboration between the two companies, but Shin Won-ho's protégé, as the person in charge, would also definitely face serious trouble in his career.

"Let's go! Let's go check it out!"

Luo Yingshi didn't even bother to see Jiang Tang off; he grabbed Shen Yuanhao and ran towards the studio.

Jiang Tang was very self-aware and quickly followed behind the two big shots.

The group hurriedly pushed open the door to the studio.

The scene was now in complete chaos.

The lighting and props crews were running around like headless flies, and a crowd had gathered around the lift in the center of the stage, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

"Why are you all so panicked!"

"Is this how you use the emergency procedures we usually teach you?!"

Shin Won-ho pushed through the crowd and let out an angry roar.

Seeing their boss lose his temper, the younger subordinate trembled with fear and scrambled over, his voice trembling with tears: "Boss, you're finally here!"

"You...you!!!"

Shin Won-ho was exasperated, but now wasn't the time for questioning. He fired off a barrage of questions: "Where's Baekhyun? Where's he injured? How serious is it? Did they call an ambulance?!"

"No...that's not it!"

The young subordinate swallowed hard and hurriedly waved his hands to explain, "Boss, you've misunderstood! The signal on the communicator was bad just now, I didn't explain clearly... It's not that Baekhyun is injured!"

Shin Wonho's hand suddenly paused, his tense nerves relaxing slightly: "Not Byun Baekhyun? Then who is it?"

"Yes... he's a senior backup dancer who partners with Baekhyun in the choreography."

The young subordinate pointed to the man sitting in the corner, whose ankle was being urgently iced by medical staff. "The platform jerked a little when it was descending. That backup dancer, in order to protect Baekhyun from tripping, missed a step and twisted his ankle. His ankle is swollen now, but he's fine."

Shen Yuanhao looked in the direction he was pointing, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled back into his stomach. But then, an even more agitated anger surged up to the top of his head.

"How many times have I told you! I've asked you to inspect the machinery on site repeatedly! Is this how you inspect it for me?!"

"Where did your usual cleverness go?! Did you go all the time to feed the dogs?!"

Shin Won-ho pointed at his young subordinate's nose and started cursing.

"I was wrong, boss... I was really wrong, I should have been more careful..." The young subordinate lowered his head, tears welling up in his eyes.

Luo Yingshi stepped forward, patted Shen Yuanhao on the shoulder, and gestured for him to calm down: "Old Shen, getting angry won't solve anything right now. Since it wasn't the main guest who was injured, the nature of the incident isn't that serious."

"The most urgent task now is to get the performance going smoothly as soon as possible."

"You think I don't know?" Shin Won-ho irritably ran a hand through his hair. "There are only ten minutes left before the official performance. Where am I supposed to conjure up a backup dancer who knows 'Growl'?!"

The situation on the scene became tense once again.

The young subordinate was pale-faced. He knew that if the performance went wrong, he could pack his bags and leave the next day.

Just then, a confident voice suddenly rang out in the tense air.

"PDnim, could you show me the live dance video of 'Growl'?"
