The rehearsal, originally expected to last until eight or nine that evening, wrapped up around seven o'clock.
It wasn't because all the acts had been performed. Rather, it was because no dinner was provided, and the public buses would soon stop running for the night. Many of the staff and performers at the rehearsal lived far away, so getting home without the bus would be a major inconvenience.
All things considered, Director Gong ignored Wang Yueling's objections and, with a decisive wave of his hand, announced that the day's rehearsal was over. He told everyone to go home. The acts that hadn't gone on yet would continue rehearsing here tomorrow morning, and as for those who had already performed, they were to wait at home for further notice.
