Chapter 954: Car crash!
Translator: Legge Editor: Legge
On the day of the birthday celebration .
Huairou, Yanqi Hotel .
A long way from the hotel, Zhang Ye was driving and talking on the phone .
"What are you going here for, Old Rao?"
"I want to go and have a look . Wasn't there someone who wanted to beat me up?"
"It's my friend's birthday today, so let me meet them first . "
"Just wait for me . "
"Hey, you're serious about coming?"
"Of course! Since someone has issued a threat to me, how can I not be there?"
"Check back later, alright? Wait for my call . If you really come, then I doubt the birthday celebration would be able to proceed . The entire event would definitely get disrupted and thrown into disarray!"
Zhang Ye didn't care who Jiang Hanwei was, but he still had to leave some face for Xiaodong .
At the venue .
The birthday celebration was slated to begin at noon, but at around 10 AM, the guests were already gradually arriving . Around the area, several groups of reporters were also here with seven or eight news reporting vans behind them .
Reporters showing up for such celebrity birthday celebrations was not an unusual sight . After all, any small or big events with many celebrities in attendance was still news for them . But today's event clearly did not have an air of normalcy to it . Too many reporters had showed up! There were entertainment reporters from the newspapers, reporters from Beijing Television, and reporters from Central TV News Channel . From the emptied bottles and drink packets lying on the ground, many of these reporters had probably been waiting since early in the morning . Everyone's purpose today was likely the same: They were all here because of the conflict between Jiang Hanwei and Zhang Ye!
"Why are they not here yet?"
"Take it easy . Just wait . "
"A car's coming! A car's coming!"
"Eh, that's Chen Guang and Fan Wenli!"
"Let's go!"
"Go, go, go!"
A car was driving over from across the way . When the sharp-eyed reporters saw this, they swarmed it!
The car couldn't move forward as it got blocked .
Chen Guang and Fan Wenli had no choice but to roll down their windows to tell the reporters, "Can you please make way for us?"
One of the female reporters quickly said, "Everyone knows that the two of you are good friends with Zhang Ye . Can you please tell us what is going on between him and Jiang Hanwei?"
Chen Guang gave a wry smile . "I'm not sure either . "
A male reporter hurriedly said, "Do you think they'll attend the birthday bash?"
Fan Wenli smiled and said, "I suppose so . "
All in all, the couple denied any knowledge of the dispute by giving noncommittal answers .
Behind them, Huo Dongfang's car also arrived .
A large wave of reporters once again surrounded a celebrity's vehicle!
"Teacher Huo!"
"Sect Leader Huo!"
"Do you know anything about the conflict between Zhang Ye and Jiang Hanwei?"
"What are they fighting over?"
"Does Teacher Jiang Hanwei really want to beat up Zhang Ye's agent?"
Huo Dongfang answered with a smile, "It must be gossip . Don't believe it . "
A newspaper reporter said, "But hasn't the news already been confirmed?"
"I don't know about that . " Huo Dongfang repeatedly shook his head . "Please, everyone, let me through . I need to get inside . "
A reporter from a television station asked, "Then who is Zhang Ye's agent?"
Huo Dongfang replied, "I would like to ask the same . "
The reporter said in surprise, "You don't know who it is either?"
More and more of the arriving celebrities were stuck at the main entrance .
As the hotel was a semi-open space, Xiaodong had already booked the entire place prior to today . The celebration was considered a private event and guests would require an invitation to get in . So the reporters, who weren't allowed in, could only block the entrance in the hopes of getting their questions answered .
Not long after, Xiaodong and the other two members of her group ran out of the hotel!
Their group's name was "Spring Garden . " It was formed of three female members: Xiaodong was the group's leader, with the other two members being Li Xiaoxian and Amy . They were the most popular girl group in the country and their popularity ranking had always been at the forefront of the B-list rankings . They had been popular for many years, and if a good chance or opportunity came their way, they might even rise into the A-list .
The three members had very different styles . Xiaodong was more well-rounded, beautiful, mature, but also full of life . Li Xiaoxian was comparatively quieter, and behaved and spoke appropriately at all times . On the other hand, Amy was more of a wild child who was sassier and sexier than the other two, and had a large number of fans chasing her!
When Li Xiaoxian came out, she said to the reporters, "Can everyone please make way for the guests to enter? Thank you for your cooperation . "
Amy said, "Stop blocking the entrance!"
As a result of their appearance, the reporters rushed over and surrounded them .
"Teacher Xiaodong!"
"Is the guest list for your birthday celebration real?"
"When will Zhang Ye and Jiang Hanwei get here?"
"They're both quite close to you, so what do you make of this quarrel between them? Why did you invite both of them to your birthday bash?"
"Who is Zhang Ye's agent?"
"Teacher Xiaodong, reveal something to us, please!"
Their cameras and zoom lenses were all raised and ready .
Xiaodong first signaled to the hotel's security team to clear the area around the entrance, then brought all the reporters over to a different spot so that the guests could get into the hotel without any trouble . She then told them in all seriousness, "First, I would like to clarify something . Zhang Ye and Uncle Jiang are both very dear to me and have both helped me out before . About the argument this time, I dare say that it is only a rumor . At any rate, I haven't received such news . It must have been made up by someone and everyone else circulated it . From what I know, Zhang Ye and Uncle Jiang have never even met before, so how could they clash like that? This whole state of affairs is one big contradiction!"
The reporters all nodded in agreement .
Right, these two men really hadn't ever met before!
So how could things suddenly escalate so relentlessly between them?
Xiaodong continued, "It's true that I invited both Teacher Zhang and Uncle Jiang today . But it's so that they can clarify things to put this matter to rest and keep this ridiculousness from spreading any further . "
Li Xiaoxian added, "Right, it's all just hearsay . "
Amy said with a laugh, "Don't believe those rumors! Later, when Sister Dong officially introduces Uncle Jiang to Zhang Ye, she'll get them to take a picture together and will send it to you guys! That should be enough to dismiss all the gossip!"
Xiaodong coughed and stepped on Amy's foot .
When the reporters heard this, they got a little confused .
Take a picture together?
Could it really have been a rumor?
All their information was wrong?
Suddenly, someone shouted!
"He's here!"
"That's Zhang Ye's car!"
"Eh, whose car is beside his?"
"The other one belongs to Jiang Hanwei!"
"They came here together?"
The reporters were startled . They quickly picked up their cameras and snapped picture after picture!
There were even some people who rushed over to stop their cars, hoping to get an interview!
Xiaodong was also startled by this . She hadn't expected the two of them to happen to meet on the way in . But she quickly reacted and signaled to the hotel security to block the reporters . Then she stood there and beckoned for Zhang Ye's car and Jiang Hanwei's car to proceed straight into the hotel and not slow down . She was afraid that the reporters would surround them if their cars stopped there . That would expose a lot of behind-the-scenes issues and she would have no way to mediate the conflict after the fact!
Chen Guang smiled and waved .
Zhang Ye, who was driving, raised a hand in return . He greeted Old Chen and his wife .
Quite a few of the celebrities who were held up at the entrance earlier also waved at Jiang Hanwei's car while nodding and smiling to him . They were all very warm and polite toward his arrival .
"Teacher Jiang!"
"You've arrived?"
"Please go ahead, head in first!"
"There are too many people out here . Let's chat when we get inside!"
"Old Jiang, we must drink together today . I haven't had any with you in a while!"
