Chapter 366 Agent as Bodyguard?
Did they discover he changed clothes in the broadcasting room?
Jiang Bai's heart skipped a beat: "Minister, what's wrong? Is there something you need?"
"There is something I need to take care of; it's the charity stage this afternoon!"
Hu He wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"The professional stage construction team hired by the school is having some trouble. One of the LED screen brackets is stuck, and they need some strong boys to help out."
"After much thought, I've concluded that only you, the shot put god, can truly fill the void in our unit right now!"
It's good that it's not a problem with women's clothing.
Jiang Bai breathed a sigh of relief, instinctively refusing; he didn't want to be treated like a beast of burden.
"Minister, I have something to do this afternoon, and my sister..."
"What's wrong? Tell me, and I'll help you with the scheduling."
Hu He didn't give Jiang Bai a chance to refuse, and pushed him directly towards the center of the playground.
"This is also to set up the stage for your sister's performance this afternoon! If they don't set it up securely, and your sister Jiang Baizhi falls while dancing, that won't do!"
"Besides this, there's something else. I'll have to trouble you with everything today. I estimate the stage will be set up until the end of the day."
Jiang Bai: "......"
Good heavens, I've shot myself in the foot.
Previously, in order to avoid it, I desperately made excuses to keep myself busy.
Now look what happened, my words have come true, and I've really become a beast of burden, building a stage under the scorching sun!
.......
At 11 a.m., the sun was blazing.
In the center of the playground, a huge performance stage is taking shape.
The scorching sun slanted down on the green field of the Shanghai Theatre Academy in Shanghai. Workers were sweating profusely, and the clanging of scaffolding and the grating static of sound system adjustments intertwined to create a rhapsody filled with the scent of money.
Jiang Bai, wearing a sweat-soaked tracksuit, was working with several professional construction workers, shouting and groaning as they lifted a huge LED display screen.
"One! Two! Go!!"
Because of his abnormally high stamina of 14 points, he carried the steel frame alone, which would normally require two people to lift it, leaving the renovation worker next to him completely dumbfounded.
"Young man, with that strength... are you a weightlifter?"
The older brother wiped his sweat and asked in surprise.
Jiang Bai said expressionlessly, "No, I usually help my sister move cosmetics, it's just a habit."
"......"
After moving the display screen.
Just as the minister had said, Jiang Baigan was given the remaining odd jobs for setting up the stage.
So Jiang Bai spent the whole morning helping out.
During this time, Jiang Bai also had to take advantage of the breaks while moving bricks to take out his phone and send messages in the 404 dormitory group.
Jiang Bai: [@All members, my sister just told me that her fan dance this afternoon was very difficult, and she's gone back to the hotel to warm up. You guys are probably waiting for her, but don't worry, I'm setting up the stage. Just call me if you need anything.]
After sending this message, Jiang Bai looked up at the few people eagerly waiting at the stall in the distance, and after seeing their actions, he looked back at his phone.
Su Ze replied instantly: [@JiangBai No problem! Brother-in-law, you can focus on your work! The goddess's stage needs the best setup! This is about Bai Zhi's safety!]
Gu Dapeng: [Third brother, you've worked hard! It was worth it for Bai Zhi!]
Lin Le: [With my brother-in-law setting up the stage, it's definitely the safest place! Go, brother-in-law!]
Jiang Bai looked at his phone and gave an extremely desolate, bitter smile.
"What's this? Sacrificing our brothers' hard work? You guys really forget your friends for a pretty face!!"
"However, this sacrifice may not necessarily be a true sacrifice."
He raised his head slightly, squinting as he surveyed the giant stage that had risen in the center of the playground.
Unlike the small-scale events that were previously held in the auditorium.
This time, the school is clearly going all out.
To welcome those celebrity seniors who bring their own top-tier fan base and may even bring their own private security detail back to school, the stage was set up in the center of the playground with the most open view.
The surrounding tiered stands will be used to accommodate fans and students.
Jiang Bai came to help set up the stage, not just because he was invited by Minister Hu.
It was also to familiarize themselves with the escape route after the fundraising performance that night!
Unfortunately, there are very few escape routes.
In fact, there was absolutely no way to sneak away and escape!
"Master, I have this feeling that I'm locked up in the middle of a gladiatorial arena."
Jiang Bai spoke in a solemn tone in his mind, his gaze sharp as he rapidly scanned every inch of the ground around the stage.
"Look at this structure."
"The stage is isolated, surrounded by stands on all sides. The only passage is a temporary corridor with railings less than two meters wide, located on the playground to the side of the stage."
"If I wait until I finish performing 'Red Wish,' and those thousands of fanatical fans from the whole school rush up to me, even if I have 14 points of stamina, I'll probably be torn to pieces on the spot and used as souvenirs, right?"
[Ding! Host, please acknowledge your status. In their eyes, you are no longer human; you are a 'walking miracle,' a 'living beacon of light.' According to this system's simulation, if you appear last, the probability of being surrounded and unable to escape is 99.9%. It is recommended that you contact the Literature and Art Department beforehand to move Jiang Baizhi's appearance earlier in the order.]
"The performance order will definitely be changed, regardless of whether I'm the last to perform."
"But we also need an escape route!"
Jiang Bai stared at the stage layout, which was mostly complete, and frantically modeled it in his mind.
Did he climb down from the sound control room at the very back of the stage?
No, if that happens, forget about escaping; the mere concern about safety that it raises will leave Jiang Bai with no way to explain himself.
Did you just leave from backstage?
No, the stage is in the middle of the playground, there's no backstage, it's just that there are fewer people.
In other words, he can only leave through a fixed temporary side passage.
"Damn it! This is a dead end!"
Jiang Bai was so frustrated that he wanted to throw a series of punches on the ground.
For the first time, he felt that when a person's charm transcends the heavens, the air in the whole world seems to turn into sticky glue, making it difficult to even walk.
Just then, Jiang Bai saw several security guards walking around nearby.
A thought suddenly struck him, and he remembered a powerful weapon he had long forgotten.
"Tongzi, could you ask Qin Meng, the all-around agent I was rewarded with, to come over for my performance this afternoon and act as my bodyguard?"
[Ding! Qin Meng is on standby at all times. This agent is an all-rounder, proficient in contracts, law, and the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, and of course, also possesses bodyguard attributes.]
"That's good. With Brother Qin's 1.9-meter frame, he'll definitely be able to take care of most of my men and carve a bloody path through!"
"As for the remaining small group, they... should be able to stop them, right?"
Jiang Bai turned his gaze back to the security guards walking around the playground.
The security guards at the Shanghai Theatre Academy in Shanghai love to listen to the radio, drink tea, and read newspapers.
But today, due to the school's requirement, all the old men changed into brand-new yellow vests, each with a solemn expression, like they were filming a Hollywood blockbuster.
[Ding! Host, stop watching. Under the influence of your absolute charm, the fact that these security guards haven't defected to the 'bride-snatching team' during the performance is already a testament to their peak professional ethics.]
Jiang Bai: "......"
Well, we can only pray that Brother Qin will be strong enough to help him break through the encirclement!
