Chapter 242: Chapter 193 Students Return Safely! (Secondary Update of 10,000 Words Request for Subscription)_2

This could very likely impact the shooting schedule of the sixth episode of "A Bite of Xia Country"!

"I have to come up with a solution for this one." Ding Yue mumbled to himself after giving the matter some thought.

"Principal Ding, is there anything else we need to take care of?"

Having just finished making a phone call, Wen Ruohan, who was standing next to Ding Yue, asked.

"We signed an exclusive broadcasting authorization agreement with NTS. Now that the students of the production team for the sixth episode of "A Bite of Xia Country" are trapped, we will be liable for breach of contract if the episode is not finished on time!"

Ding Yue said, furrowing his brows.

"What should we do then?" Wen Ruohan urgently asked.

"Yue, why not discuss with NTS? This incident can be classified as a natural disaster, something beyond our control." Xu Bin suggested.

"What happened? I heard some students from our school had an accident in Shu Province?"

At that moment, Huang Youjie rushed into the Principal’s office, firing off questions the moment he stepped foot inside.

"Stop talking nonsense, what do you mean they had an accident? They’re just stuck on a mountain because the road has been washed away and due to signal problems, we can’t establish contact with them for now!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue spat thrice.

The students of Mist City Arts and Science University are the most precious individuals to him, nothing bad must happen to any of them!

What Huang was suggesting earlier carried bad luck!

"Ah, as long as they’re okay. That’s a relief." Huang Youjie, having jumped at shadows, relaxed upon hearing Ding Yue’s explanation. He then quickly asked, "Does our school need to organize a rescue team?"

"Even if the school does organize a rescue team, what good would that do? Are we supposed to rush over now?" Xu Bin rolled his eyes at Huang Youjie.

"Principal Ding has already instructed me to contact the Blue Sky Rescue Team, and Director Zhu from the Film and Television Institute is on his way to Shu City. Once the roads are cleared, he will immediately lead the rescue team to aid our school’s production team."

Wen Ruohan quickly explained the situation to Director Huang.

"Call the representatives of the other production teams of "A Bite of Xia Country" that are still on campus over." After some thought, Ding Yue instructed Wen Ruohan.

While rescuing the production team for the sixth episode of "A Bite of Xia Country" is critical, it is equally important to ensure the smooth production of the sixth episode.

Thus, Ding Yue decided to assign the other teams to shoot other local themes, so as to fill in for the segment on Shu Province that is currently missing from the sixth episode.

Subsequently, Ding Yue placed a call to Vice Director Liu Mei of NTS.

"Hello, Director Liu, this is Ding Yue, principal of Mist City Arts and Science University."

"Principal Ding?"

"Director Liu, do you know about the situation in Shu Province where the national highway there has been destroyed by a landslide, causing the entire mountain town to be isolated?"

"Yes, the news channel has reported it. Currently, the road department in Shu Province is doing its best to clear the road. However, due to the massive damage and the sheer size of the mudslide, it’s proving challenging. What’s going on, Principal Ding?"

Director Liu Mei curiously asked.

Since when did the principal of Mist City Arts and Science University develop an interest in this news?

"Well, our Film and Television Institute’s production team, was there shooting the sixth episode of "A Bite of Xia Country". They were preparing to return when they found out that their way home was blocked due to the road destruction, which has also cut off all communication!"

Ding Yue quickly updated Director Liu Mei about the situation.

"Ah! Was anyone injured?" The first thing that occurred to Director Liu Mei was naturally to ask if anyone was hurt.

"Fortunately, as far as we know, no one was injured. Everyone has retreated back to the small town and are waiting for rescue. However, I’m concerned that this might delay the production progress of the sixth episode of "A Bite of Xia Country."

Ding Yue said, visibly troubled.

"It’s fine, in such situations, the safety of the production team is the most important. As for the possible delay in the production of the sixth episode, if it’s unavoidable, we may have to cut that episode. Principal Ding, do you have a better solution?" Director Liu Mei asked.

Ding Yue did have a better solution: "We’ve already completed more than half of the sixth episode. Just a small part remains, the part where they’re stuck. For that, I plan to let other production teams choose a suitable location to provide the necessary footage for the remainder. If we work a little harder, I believe there shouldn’t be any problem."

Upon hearing Principal Ding’s proposal, Director Liu Mei let out a sigh of relief.

"That’s good, then. Sorry for the trouble, Principal Ding. I hope the students return safely. Please remember to inform me when they do, alright?"

Director Liu Mei was genuinely concerned about the production team for the sixth episode of "A Bite of Xia Country".

NTS’s news department had indeed received the news report, and their reporter stationed in Shu City was already on his way to the site of the road destruction.

Reportedly, it would be quite challenging and time-consuming to clear the road.

Even if they worked 24 hours non-stop, it could still take up to 48 hours at the earliest!

What was even more annoying was that the signal towers had likely been damaged during the storm, cutting off almost all communication with the small town in the mountains.
