After Zeno uttered those words, Minsu found himself speechless. If Zeno, a mere high school graduate, could make it in, what was the bar that Gene PD had set? The crew, monitoring the flurry of comments, turned their eyes toward Gene PD, who appeared to be on the edge of slumber. Preparing for three shows a year was anything but a stroll in the park!
"Sir, they're really grilling you in the comments. They say you shouldn't have cast Zeno!" one crew member piped up.
Gene PD waved them off with a dismissive gesture. "How many people are tuned into the livestream?"
"Half a million," came the prompt reply.
Gene PD closed his eyes again, his lip curling into a faint smile. "That's enough for me. Besides, someone has to go home on the first day, you know?"
The crew fell silent, letting his words sink in. Well, that was undeniably true.
