But Director Wang had already started speaking, "Here's the situation, my next program is also a live broadcast, which was originally scheduled to start this weekend. Unfortunately, the guest star suddenly has some issues, and I can't find anyone to replace them at the moment."
Sheng Congzhi understood, "What program is it?"
"It's a couple's variety show called 'We're Married'."
Sheng Congzhi: ???
A couples' variety show?
Could it be that...

Sheng Congzhi looked troubled, "Honestly, I plan to rest after finishing this show. I'm afraid I can't help with this one, sorry."
"I understand," Director Wang sighed. "Given the caliber of our program, we really aren't in a position to invite someone of your status to participate..."
This move was called: a strategic retreat.
