Chapter 197 You Have a Cage Scheme, I Have a Ladder That Walks Through Walls

The television broadcast brought this grassroots singing competition to a climax in its popularity.

It also benefits a considerable number of individuals and organizations.

The biggest beneficiaries among them are naturally Tengda Real Estate and Guozhong Song and Dance City.

These two organizations not only became famous overnight in Haikou, but also throughout the entire island.

Even people who have never been to Haikou know that there are two companies in Haikou.

This benefits the organizations that benefit, and then the individuals who benefit.

Blue Shark Band is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary among them. Like Tengda Real Estate's National Central Song and Dance City, Blue Shark Band has now become the most famous band on the island.

In the three rounds of the popular song competition, their performances of "Blue Lotus," "Love Fire," and "Feeling Like Flying" became hits throughout the entire island.

People searched everywhere for the cassette tapes but couldn't find them, so they could only frantically request them from the audience's request section.

It actually set a record that a single program had over a thousand viewers.

Some people even traveled all the way to Haikou to the Guozhong Dance City to see the Blue Shark Band perform.

Unfortunately, the National Chung Chung Dance Hall only sells 500 tickets per class per day, so if you're unlucky, you can't buy any.

These things have little to do with Liang Liang and the band; they are currently preparing for the top 16 to top 8 elimination round.

After three rounds, two bands were selected as the final sixteen.

Blue Shark and Shattered Dream.

However, after entering the top 16, the Broken Dream Band called in a supporting band from Beijing: Yidian Band.

There is no Zero Band in this life, but a One Band has emerged.

The lead singer of the band Yidian is Zhou Haiou.

Liang Liang and his friends saw the band, a band of four men, all with long, flowing hair and eyes that looked upwards.

Liang Liang strongly suspects that the One Point Band is the Zero Point Band from the previous life.

The band seemed to have appeared out of thin air; Liang Liang and his friends had no idea about them at all.

This may be related to their relatively low level of attention to this pop song competition.

The competition has already gone through three rounds, and they don't even know what songs the Broken Dream Band has played or how they made it to the top sixteen.

Although they discovered the problem, Blue Shark still didn't take them seriously, and Han Chui went to participate in the lottery as usual.

The results of this draw were rather comical.

Their opponent in the round of 16 was none other than Liu Shijiu.

"Hehe! Liu Shijiu! From the first day I heard you speak, I felt that you had a big mouth like a crow. We are clearly unrelated, but you insisted on making trouble for us. Now you've got what you wanted. We will send you home comfortably."

When Liang Liang realized that his opponent was indeed Liu Shijiu, he knew he had to deal with him properly.

"Send me home? I'd like to send you all home instead!"

That's like a toad opening its mouth wide—what a boastful tone!

Don't you know your own limitations? You sing well, that's true, but who are you comparing yourself to?

Compared to Blue Shark, you're really not qualified.

"Send us home? You think you can take us?"

It's okay for a person to be a little arrogant, but they must have self-awareness; otherwise, what's the difference between them and a fool?

Liu Shijiu gave a sinister smile.

This time, the idiot didn't say anything and just turned and left.

If this thing were to talk nonsense about how dark and gloomy it was, Liang Liang really wouldn't take it seriously.

But the guy turned and left without saying a word, and Liang Liang felt that she had to take him seriously.

A dog that doesn't bark bites more painfully.

Liang Liang considered every possible aspect that could cause problems, regardless of whether it was legitimate or illegal.

Then several decisions were made.

First, they checked the special economic zone travel permits and temporary residence permits of the four members of their band.

Hainan is a special economic zone, and it would be very troublesome without these documents. At first, if they found out that someone didn't have a document, they had to apply for one. Later, as more and more people came, they would be taken to a place to work, earn enough money to go back home, and then be sent back.

Moreover, these musicians and singers who make a living in nightclubs have to take an exam organized by the Haikou Municipal Bureau of Culture, Sports and Tourism and obtain an actor's certificate, otherwise they will not be allowed to work.

I usually carry these documents with me, and as long as I'm not robbed, I'm generally safe.

But what if you get robbed?

What if the robbers specifically target these documents?

Without these credentials, the competition will be directly affected; without an actor's certificate, one is naturally not qualified to perform on stage.

Not being able to perform on stage is a minor issue. Losing their temporary residence permits won't mean they'll be sent somewhere to earn money for travel expenses, but being repatriated to their place of origin is something that can't be changed.

After thinking for a moment, Liang Liang immediately found Zhou Anming.

"From now on, we will be staying at the National Chung Chung Dance Hall for a few days."

Zhou Anming had no objection to Liang Liang's suggestion, as the dance hall was usually occupied by some odd-job workers and security personnel.

"Also! We need to trouble Mr. Zhou to keep our documents safe for us. We're afraid it would be a huge problem if they were stolen."

After saying that, Liang Liang collected all the band members' identification documents and handed them to Zhou Anming, who then locked them in his safe.

After Zhou Anming locked up the documents, he sent the duty manager to arrange three of the best rooms for the Blue Shark Band.

Liang Liang asked Zhou Anming for a few more people and had Han Chui take them to the Yongwang Building to move all their belongings over.

Because his girlfriend wasn't there, Luo Lin couldn't decide whether to move his belongings or not, so he didn't move them to the Junior High School Dance Hall.

After everything was moved, Liang Liang made two requests to the band.

First, unless it's something serious, don't go out unnecessarily before this singing competition ends.

Secondly, be vigilant when you go out, especially avoid interacting with strangers.

"Xiao Liang! Aren't you making this a bit too tense? It's like something out of a Hong Kong or Taiwanese movie."

"Movies? Art imitates life. Some things in movies are based on real events, which might happen to you. It's better to be careful. Things will be fine after these two days."

The competition has now reached the round of 16, and it will be over in one more day.

I've already done all sixty-four prostrations, so what's one more hurdle?

The band members didn't take it seriously, but something bad happened that very night.

The room where the Blue Shark band was staying was broken into that very night.

This caused some financial losses for the people who moved in after Blue Shark moved out.

Furthermore, Luo Lin's house was also burgled.

The couple were sleeping in bed when the thief, incredibly bold, started ransacking the house.

Because of Liang Liang's sudden mental breakdown, Luo Lin didn't move, but he sent all the money in his house to the bank.

The thief searched for a long time but found nothing.

The next day, when Luo Lin told the band members about it, they teased him, saying how come he and his wife weren't robbed?

Only Liang Liang didn't laugh.

Only their original house and Luo Lin's house were burgled; if it was a burglary without a purpose, then he was a fool.

Fortunately, I acted impulsively yesterday afternoon and nipped all the potential problems in the bud.

Otherwise, losing some money is a small matter; if those documents were stolen, they might be deported today.

Good shot! Too bad you have a cage trick, but I have a ladder to climb over the wall.
