Chapter 404 - Today, it will be useless no matter who comes! (1/2)
Outside, the cold wind was howling.
The situation was at a standstill.
”What's the matter?”
”What happened?”
”What's going on?”
”Stop, all of you stop!”
Suddenly, a group of people came out the exit.
They all wore suits and some of them even had badges. It looked like they were Central TV's staff, possibly some were also from management.
A middle-aged man walking in front of them wore a dark expression as he looked at the people lying on the ground. He called out for a colleague who had been standing outside witnessing the whole fracas. The youth who hurried over relayed the incident to them, occasionally pointing in either Lee Anson or Zhang Ye's direction, talking and waving vividly.
After they had an idea of the incident, the staff from Central TV was also in a fix.
A minor person-in-charge went to Lee Anson and asked, ”Are you alright?”
One of his fellow colleagues went to check out the fat bodyguard who stirred after being pinched in the philtrum. He touched his face and realized Zhang Ye's shoe print was still imprinted on his face.
The Central TV staff let out a sigh, relieved that the bodyguard was not hurt too badly.
When Lee Anson saw the Central TV staff arriving, he flew into a rage. He pointed at them and said, ”옌 뭐냐! 왜 이유없이 폭행을! 여기도 법이 있냐!”
The thin bodyguard translated, ”Lee Anson is asking what's with this guy! Why did he hit others without reason! Is this still a place with laws?”
Zhang Ye was amused. ”I did it with no reason?”
The commoners by the side were all accusing angrily!
”Bulls.h.i.+t!”
”It was you who made the first move!”
”If not for you knocking that young girl down, why would Teacher Zhang have a reason to beat you!?”
”You didn't apologize or help her up even after pus.h.i.+ng her down! Is there any reason? F**k!”
”Apologize! Don't even think of leaving without apologizing!”
”A Korean wants to behave atrociously in our territory?”
”Pui! What f**king bulls.h.i.+t is this!?”
The Central TV supervisor was also troubled. He went over to try to smooth things out between Lee Anson and Zhang Ye by saying, ”Both of you are public figures and it's the new year now. Why don't we just drop the matter and forget that it ever happened. We'll all go back home and not hold things up here anymore.”
Zhang Ye said carefreely, ”It's fine. I have lots of time and have nothing better to do at home.”
You’re fine?
We aren't fine!
The person-in-charge said, ”Teacher Zhang, you have already done what you did and even hit one of our guys too. No matter what, you shouldn't have hit anyone. What if this gets out, then no one would look good. Give me some face today and forget about it. Even if Lee Anson was in the wrong, you aren't that innocent either, right?”
Zhang Ye gave a wave of his hands and said, ”I won't be giving anyone any face today!”
An old man with the Central TV stepped up from behind and said, ”Teacher Little Zhang, you are a teacher after all. How can you be like this? Take a step back and everyone can get on with it.”
Whether it was the other celebrities or commoners, many of them still did not understand Zhang Ye well. Maybe they knew him a little, but that was not enough. Hearing the old man speak, many of them were surprised!
Teacher?
This fellow was a teacher of the people?
Everyone felt a little light headed upon hearing this. They had never seen this sort of teacher who went around hitting people, but they were full of admiration for Zhang Ye's actions as they were also infuriated by Lee Anson's actions! Because of their status and various reasons, they were unable to go forward and help. Only Zhang Ye had stepped up to take action. He did not care for the consequences of his actions, nor had any regards for his status as a teacher, literary person, host, etc. All he wanted to do was to seek justice for the little girl who had been hurt. Just based on this, many people felt they were inferior to Zhang Ye. They knew that they couldn't possibly have done what Zhang Ye did!
Ci Xiufang said from the distance, ”Little Zhang, forget it!”
An old folk music performer said, ”Yes, if it goes on like this, you'd get in trouble. I think I saw someone making a police report just now.”
Clearly, it must have been a brainless fan of Lee Anson.
But Zhang Ye appeared unmoved, standing still at the security checkpoint!
”Teacher Zhang!” The person-in-charge looked unhappy, ”What is it that you want? This is enough. The gala will be dispersing soon and the leaders will be coming out as well! There are also reporters! You...”
Zhang Ye said without acknowledging anyone. ”It's useless no matter who comes today!”
”You...” The person-in-charge took a step over.
However, he was held back by another man from Central TV. He pulled him back a meter or two and whispered to him, ”Supervisor Liu, don't. He doesn't care who you are and will beat up whoever tries to stop him. Our security team did the same as you and......was sent flying.”
The person-in-charge: ”...”
Faced with such a person who didn't care for the consequences, anyone would be frustrated!
He couldn't be reasoned with and wouldn't give in to statuses nor could they match him in a fight!
A woman from Central TV suggested, ”Why don't we get a dozen security team members to 'send' Zhang Ye off? We need to get Lee Anson out of here before the matter gets bigger. Otherwise, we won't be able to wrap things up here and judging from the commoners' anger, it might even start a riot!”
But the person-in-charge rejected this, whispering in a low voice, ”Then that would become a topic of discussion in the media. Lee Anson was in the wrong and if we were to help him to subdue Zhang Ye and aid him to leave this place, do you know how the commoners would react to that? They would definitely think that Central TV wors.h.i.+ps foreigners since we helped a Korean celebrity bully the commoners of China!”
”Then what should we do?”
”The Spring Festival Gala is almost over!”
”This is too nerve-wracking. Why did this mess have to happen during the festive season? It has always been fine in the past!”
”This Zhang Ye is really as his reputation makes him out to be. He's such a bast**rd. Why didn't he consider the consequences beforehand? Isn't he afraid? Does our Central TV not even have the face to curb all this?”
”Ha, don't even mention us. Don't you know? This man even dared to scold the SARFT, so what else does he not dare to do?”
”Actually, he did well to beat that guy up. Lee Anson's too sn.o.bbis.h.!.+”
”I'm also frustrated with Lee Anson. He puts on an act in front of the cameras.”
”That's enough. Don't say such idle nonsense. Keep it down.”
