108 Mighty Slippers (2/2)
”She's actually also the founder of the Black Stars fan club and the one who gathered all of us. It's all thanks to her that we're all standing here together at this moment to meet you,” Feng Wan informed Iris.
Iris shook Zhou Mei'er's hand and smiled. ”Thank you very much, Miss Zhou. You've worked very hard. Your support means so much to me.”
Zhou Mei'er teared up. Iris patted her shoulder.
Feng Wan was about to introduce the next person, but the man already stepped forward before she could say anything.
”Boss! To be honest, I didn't really like you before because I thought that you were a fake person and a factory-produced unoriginal pop idol like so many others who only knew how to act pretty and sexy. Your braindead songs didn't help either. Ah, they were so terrible that just thinking about them is making me want to burn all my precious slippers―”
Zhou Mei'er: ”Aiyaya! Bro, what are you doing?”
”―but then you suddenly made a comeback. I still didn't like you. I thought that you were just fishing for fame and attention like before. So I continued to bash you on the internet because I'm a troll. Not ashamed to admit that! Hah! Trolls are awesome, if we're on your side! But then you constantly slapped my face so many times with your awesomeness that I had no choice but to convert into your number 1 fan―”
When the surrounding people heard his claim of being Iris' number 1 fan, they booed.
The grumpy-looking man looked even grumpier. He glared at the booing people and waved an actual slipper at them. ”What? Wanna fight against my mighty slippers? Come at me! I'll whack you all!”
Everyone laughed. They didn't take him seriously, as he was already quite famous in their web circle. In fact, he was the most famous among the officers of the Black Stars fan club.
”Hmph! As expected, nobody dares to stand against my mighty slippers,” the grumpy-looking man grumbled under his breath. Then he looked at Iris again. ”As I was saying, I'm your number 1 fan―”
”Boo!”
”Ah? Come at me and get a taste of my slippers!”
Feng Wan chuckled. ”Alright, boy. That's enough. How long do you need until you properly introduce yourself to our dear Iris? I can do it for you, if you want. I don't mind.”
The man's grumpy-looking face flushed red. ”Ah, Madam Feng. No need, no need.” He cleared his throat and once again turned to Iris. ”Boss Iris, my name is Wu Chen, a simple office worker from a simple company. But on the web, I hold great influence as the heroic iEatSlippers, fighting with my mighty slippers under your banner, to protect boss' name against evil-doers!”
”Boo!”
”What?! You got a problem with what I said?! Come at me if you have slippers mightier than mine! Ah?!”
Iris laughed, amused at the man's antics. She extended her hand. ”Mr. Wu, glad to finally meet you. I was actually looking forward to meeting the famous iEatSlippers. I'm a fan of your many online trolling feats.”
Wu Chen, a.k.a. iEatSlippers, shook her hand with gusto. ”Same here, same here. Nice to meet you too…eh? What? You're a fan?! Of ME?!”
