I'm Really a Superstar

Chapter 1414: Zhang Ye smashes cars! (Beginning)

Translator: Legge Editor: Legge

The next day.

Sunday.

The promotional activities of the Korean car brand that Lee Anson was endorsing had been upgraded further. This time, they had rolled out a premium bulletproof car in an attempt to break into the Chinese market. The Lee Anson that ran for the entire day yesterday was also used to promote this particular car model. However, they were even more audacious now with their promotions, coming up with a “smash one, get one free car” event. Anyone who could break the glass on their new bulletproof car at the event venue would walk away with a brand new bulletproof car for free.

Promotions.

Hype.

All of that was carried out in full force.

…

The netizens were watching eagerly.

“They’re risking that much?”

“Are they really going to give out free cars?”

“A bulletproof car? Lee Anson is representing the brand?”

“Is Teacher Zhang really not going to take any action?”

“Hai, I guess we won’t have anything to look forward to this time.”

“Yeah, Face-smacking Zhang is no longer interested in what is happening over here!”

“Now that he’s going to be a dad, he’s no longer the same.”

“I hereby announce that Face-smacking Zhang has officially retired from smacking faces!”

“Pfft, so it was you people who were egging him on. Zhang Ye was at home trying to take care of his wife yesterday and did not make an appearance to dish out any face smacking. And as a result, you all actually fucking lodged a police report? I can really laugh at this matter for the entire year!”

“Hahahahaha.”

“I think the main reason for that is because everyone already has a mindset of this fellow’s fiery temper!”

…

Elsewhere.

Lee Anson’s team.

“Anson-oppa, the campaign was very effective.”

“Yes, most of the Chinese citizens are not showing much resistance to it.”

“I think that matter from last year has blown over.”

“We can finally settle down and restart our development in China.”

“That’s right. That Zhang guy has gone silent as well!”

The team was very excited.

Ever since they withdrew from the Chinese market, it had been a very tough time for them as they saw their popularity fluctuate greatly. But in the end, they managed to scrape through and survive. Because of Zhang Ye, Lee Anson’s career as an artist nearly came to an end. If it had continued, Lee Anson would definitely have lost his current A-list position in Asia. Therefore, he needed to regain his foothold in China this time no matter what.

The first shot had been fired and the momentum was going great. Lee Anson also revealed a smile.

So what if it was Zhang Ye?

So what if he had a black mark in China?

Wasn’t he still making a comeback?

…

In Japan and Korea.

Many artists whose focus was on the Chinese market also started keeping track of Lee Anson’s situation.

They saw that the market was peaceful.

They saw that the market had gone back to normal.

Many of the Japanese and Korean celebrities who had been scared off by Zhang Ye were getting restless again!

…

Noon.

At a bustling location.

In a private function room on the top floor of a restaurant, Zhang Ye was playing host to everyone from the studio. Even Rao Aimin who was some kind of a part-time agent to Zhang Ye had brought along Little Chenchen to join them for the meal as well.

Little Wang giggled. “Director Zhang, congratulations!”

Tong Fu asked, “Where’s Sister-in-law?”

Zhang Ye laughed. “She went back to her parents’ place today for a meal with her relatives.”

Chenchen looked up. “Zhang Ye, when will your baby be born?”

Zhang Ye smiled and said, “In about another nine months’ time.”

“Oh.”

“Why?”

“When the baby is born, I’ll play with it.”

“You want to watch my child for me? Sure.”

Rao Aimin said nonchalantly, “Look at how delighted you are, but hurry up and order the food already. I’m getting hungry.”

“Order, order. It’s my treat today, so no one has to be polite,” Zhang Ye said loudly.

Abalone!

Lobster!

Shark fin!

Rao Aimin was really not holding back.

When Zhang Ye heard that, he began sweating profusely. He prodded her and whispered, “That will suffice, don’t go overboard with the ordering. We won’t be able to finish all the food.”

Everyone laughed.

Rao Aimin kept a straight face. “Chenchen and I haven’t eaten for several days. We were just waiting for this meal of yours.” She closed the menu and said to the waiter, “Alright, that will do.”

Chenchen clapped. “Aunt, well done!”

Zhang Ye rolled his eyes at her.

As for the others from the studio, they did not dare cheer at that.

Be it at the studio or anywhere else, only Rao Aimin dared to speak with Zhang Ye like this. No one else would dare to do so. Even when they were just joking with Zhang Ye, they still could not best him. It would always be Zhang Ye who trampled on them every single time. Only Rao Aimin had it different as she always managed to trample on Zhang Ye. Furthermore, Zhang Ye would usually never talk back to her. Those who understood Zhang Ye’s temperament would think that this was clearly something impossible. But those who truly knew him would know that it was all thanks to Rao Aimin’s support that Director Zhang got through the most difficult times during his debut period. Otherwise, Director Zhang would have starved to death long ago and would not have achieved the results that he had today. But of course, if it was someone who knew him even better, they would know that all of those reasons were pure nonsense. The real reason why Zhang Ye did not dare to argue with Rao Aimin was that: He! Could! Not! Outfight! Her!

The dishes were served one by one.

It was so sumptuous that it left Zhang Ye feeling a pinch in his heart.

Zhang Ye said, “This meal will be everyone’s bonus for this month. Everyone, eat more.”

When everyone heard that, they threw an uproar.

“Yi!”

“Yi!”

“Director Zhang is such a miser!”

“Hahaha!”

Zhang Ye said dejectedly, “It was just a joke. The bonus will still be given. Come, let’s eat!”

As they were eating, the sound of someone speaking over the microphone could be heard coming from a distance. It was pretty loud too.

“The event has officially begun!”

“Smash one, get one free car!”

“Everyone is free to participate. Who wants to have a go first?”

“Great, let’s have this lad come on up to the stage.”

Bang!

Bang!

There was even the sound of the participants trying to smash the car!

Zhang Zuo looked out the window. “What is going on out there?”

Ha Qiqi said, “It’s coming from the public square right?”

“I know.” Wu Yi said, “It’s the event that the Korean car brand is organizing. They’re carrying out their activities that they had been promoting for the entire day yesterday. It has something to do with a bulletproof car.”

Little Wang curled her lips. “That Lee Anson’s ?”

Tong Fu clearly knew a little about cars. He said, “This brand’s reputation has always been bad. They’re a big car manufacturing factory from Korea that broke into the Chinese market many years ago, but it didn’t go by this name back then. At that time, there were problems with their gearboxes, and the cars were all recalled unconditionally within Korea, Japan, and America. However, there was no such recall in China, so the Chinese car buyers could only fork out their own money for the repairs. Their treatment of our market was very different, so they got criticized really badly. In the end, their sales did poorly and they exited the market altogether. In recent years, the factory has changed names and they’ve restarted their operations here again. That was probably an attempt to exonerate their company. It was no wonder that they invited Lee Anson to endorse for them. This is a case of birds of a feather flock together. They’re all in it together with their spotty track record here in China!”

Bang!

Bang!

The sound of the car smashing attempts was incessant!

“Hahaha.”

“Does anyone want to give it a try?”

“We will provide you with the tools. As long as you can smash and break the glass, you will walk away with a free car!”

Zhang Ye said impatiently, “Close the windows. It’s too noisy.”

Little Wang immediately went to close the windows.

Ha Qiqi said, “Come, let’s eat.”

Zhang Zuo said, “Right, don’t let those people spoil our mood.”

Wu Yi raised his glass. “Director Zhang, let me offer you another toast.”

As they ate, the things they talked about were all adult and work-related topics.

Chenchen did not like hearing any of it, so she stood up and said, “Aunt, I want to go to the mall.”

Rao Aimin said, “I’m not done eating yet.”

Chenchen looked at Zhang Ye. “Zhang Ye, bring me to the mall.”

Zhang Ye waved her off. “Aiya, I’m chatting with them.”

Chenchen got angry.

Little Wang said with a smile, “Little Leader, Big Sis will bring you. I just finished eating anyway.”

Little Zhou also stood up. “I’ll go along too.”

Chenchen nodded.

Rao Aimin instructed, “Don’t let her run around.”

Zhang Ye added, “Come back quickly. If she wants to buy anything, just let her buy it. You guys can pay first and then come to her aunt for reimbursement.”

Little Wang and Little Zhou were tickled. “Understood.”

The three of them went out to shop.

The rest of the group continued eating and talking.

Ten minutes.

Half an hour.

As they were happily chatting, the suite room’s door was suddenly pushed open.

They saw Little Zhou run in anxiously and shout, “Something has happened! Something has happened! Chenchen smashed someone’s car! They won’t let her go!”

When the table of people heard that, they immediately stood up!

“What?”

“Smashed someone’s car?”

“Where?”

“Is she fine?”

“Let’s go! We’ll go and have a look!”

“How could something have happened so quickly when you three only just stepped out!”

Instantly, the group of them rushed off!
