But with one call from the station director, Li Kun was still summoned for a "tea talk."
Wen Yan waited all night but never received a call from Li Hui.
He stayed up all night, his eyes open until dawn.
Just as dawn broke, the dormitory door was knocked on.
Ge Qi rolled over and muttered irritably, "So annoying."
Wen Yan lay motionless, though his entire body was frozen, an ominous feeling settling in his heart.
The knocking continued as Ge Qi groggily got up and shuffled toward the door to open it.
About to snap at the intruder, he froze when he recognized who was standing there.
"Assistant Zhou."
Assistant Zhou glanced around the room. "Where's Contestant Wen?"
Ge Qi's expression turned sour. "I don't know."
Wen Yan, his face shadowed by dark circles, walked forward and rasped, "Assistant Zhou, you're looking for me."
Assistant Zhou gave him a long, meaningful look. "Director Li wants to see you. Come with me."
