Chapter 1413: Congratulatory messages from the entire entertainment circle!

Translator: Legge  Editor: Legge

It was the weekend.

An advertisement suddenly appeared on all the major television stations.

It was for a well-known Korean brand.

A car advertisement.

The brand spokesperson: Lee Anson.

The netizens in China began to ridicule:

“Lee Anson actually came back?”

“Didn’t he give up on developing his career in China?”

“He was chased away back then. That incident where he knocked over a fan has made it impossible for him to survive here.”

“He’s making a comeback now after that matter has blown over?”

“Look at the timing he’s chosen. Isn’t he afraid that Zhang Ye will tear straight into him?”

“Hahaha, there’s something for Teacher Zhang to do again!”

“He foiled the plans of the Japanese and Korean celebrities who were planning to perform in China during the next half of the year, and has just sent three of their celebrities packing from here as well. So why does Lee Anson still dare to come back at a time like this? Doesn’t he understand how scary Lord Zhang can get!”

“I’ll be waiting to see the buzz.”

“Yeah, there’s something interesting for us to watch again.”

Ever since the beginning of the new year when Zhang Ye was slapped with a “restriction order” from the Japanese and Korean authorities, and after he had angrily chased away a wave of them from China, there were almost no signs of activity by the Japanese and Korean celebrities in China. Some of their events had been canceled, while others had not taken place yet. Thus, when a Korean celebrity suddenly appeared in an advertisement on TV, and coupled with the fact that Lee Anson, who once fought with Zhang Ye, starred in it, it naturally attracted the widespread attention of the netizens in China.

Everyone was waiting for something to happen.

…

Even the Korean car brand’s company was nervous.

At the car brand’s company.

In a meeting.

“Is it really going to be fine having Lee Anson front our advertising campaign?”

“What could possibly happen?”

“Zhang Ye still has a lot of influence in China.”

“Yeah. Right now, he has very strong views regarding Japan and Korea. Why didn’t we get a Chinese celebrity to endorse for us instead?”

“Are you afraid of him? What a joke. In fact, I couldn’t wish more for him to come up against us. Right now, our brand name is relatively unknown in China. If he really takes us on, there will be a lot more attention given to us. That’s more than welcomed to me.”

“So that’s how it is.”

“Yes, I’m just afraid that he won’t do it!”

“Besides, what’s the worst he can do? He can cause trouble for others or challenge them if they hold a concert. But since we are only running our ads, what trouble could he possibly stir up for us?”

“That’s true!”

“Don’t think of him like he’s some kind of god!”

…

Back at home.

In the villa.

Wu Zeqing was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Zhang Ye was running around the house and waiting on her.

“Sweetie, are you thirsty?”

“I’m not thirsty.”

“Have some warm water.”

“I don’t want to drink.”

“It’s better if you drink more.”

“I’ve already had six glasses since waking up this morning.”

“Ah, then are you hungry?”

“That’s enough, just sit down and get some rest.”

“I’m not tired. This bro feels so alive right now!”

Ring, ring, ring. Zhang Ye’s phone rang. It was Ha Qiqi from the studio.

Zhang Ye answered: “Hello.”

Ha Qiqi immediately said: “Director Zhang, Lee Anson has an advertisement campaign running in China now. It’s for a Korean car brand. I’ve asked around and found out that he has plans to make a comeback in China. His fan base here isn’t small and many of the younger fans are still quite infatuated with him, which is why he came back to test the waters by taking an advertisement endorsement. The endorsement fee he requested was very low, so the Korean car company immediately agreed to use him without any hesitation.”

Zhang Ye said: “Oh.”

Ha Qiqi asked: “So what are we going to do?”

Zhang Ye said: “Ah?”

Ha Qiqi was startled. “Are we going to?”

Zhang Ye said: “Going to what?”

Ha Qiqi said: “Uh, never mind. I just wanted to let you know.”

Zhang Ye said: “Alright, I got it.”

After hanging up, Zhang Ye continued in his attempts to take care of his wife. He had not taken any of what was said to him to heart.

…

Lee Anson’s advertisement was appearing more and more by now.

From the initial run on just one television station, it was now playing on three television stations.

In the end, they even bought quite a bit of the ad spaces at the bus stops and subway stations.

An hour passed.

Five hours passed.

The people were waiting, but there was no action at all. Everyone could not help but feel surprised. Eh, what is going on? Why isn’t there a response from Face-smacking Zhang?

That shouldn’t be happening!

It isn’t his style!

Many of the netizens were getting anxious.

“This is bad, did something happen?”

“Zhang Ye must’ve fallen sick!”

“No, he must have gotten kidnapped!”

“Quickly call the police!”

“Yes, yes, call the police!”

For a while, all kinds of rumors were flying around!

…

Back at home.

When Zhang Ye got a call from the police, he nearly fainted.

Zhang Ye said: “What? Kidnapped?”

The police officer replied: “Everything is alright as long as you’re fine.”

“What and what?”

“Erm, we received quite a few reports from the public saying that you’ve been kidnapped. We just wanted to perform our duties seriously, so we decided to call you to verify your current situation.”

“I’m fine, sorry to have troubled you all.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

…

On Weibo.

The police also dispelled the rumors.

When the netizens saw it, they were all very amused.

“Someone really reported it to the police?”

“Pfft! That’s enough, alright!”

“This is making me laugh like crazy. Just what kind of an image does Teacher Zhang have in your minds! You guys actually went to lodge a police report just because Teacher Zhang did not show any signs of activity for several hours after Lee Anson’s ad was shown?”

“It shouldn’t be like this. With that temper of Zhang Ye’s, he should have already torn into him!”

“Yeah, didn’t the news from the grapevine already say that Zhang Ye has put out the word that he won’t allow any of the Japanese and Korean celebrities to come to China to develop their careers?”

Rumors.

Farces.

Guesses.

At last, the truth was unraveled.

Several media outlets suddenly disclosed a major piece of news!

“Zhang Ye’s wife is pregnant!”

“Zhang Ye is going to be a father!”

This piece of news instantly caused a stir!

“Damn!”

“Is that for real?”

“It’s true, the news has already been verified!”

“Someone saw Zhang Ye and his wife at the hospital two days ago!”

“Face-smacking Zhang is going to become a dad?”

“What a happy occasion!”

“I knew it! I knew something must have happened to Zhang Ye recently!”

“You’re right. How could he bother with those Japanese and Korean celebrities at a time like this!”

“Face-smacking Zhang, are you going to become a changed man in the future?”

“Don’t say it. There might really be such a possibility. If he’s going to become a father, he will definitely have to be more mature in the future. No matter what, he should set an example to his child. If he keeps on fighting and scolding other people every day, that wouldn’t reflect well on him.”

“That might not necessarily be true.”

“Let’s wait another two days to find out.”

“It looks like Lee Anson might have dodged a bullet there.”

“That applies to the car brand as well. They really know how to pick the date!”

…

When the news was revealed.

It also became boisterous over at Zhang Ye’s side.

The calls from Zhang Ye and Old Wu’s family and friends started coming in.

Zhang Ye’s phone did not stop ringing as a group of people started calling him to offer their congratulations.

Yao Jiancai.

“You’re great! Congratulations!”

“Haha, thanks!”

“How many months along?”

“She just got pregnant.”

“Take good care of her and stop picking fights with other people.”

“I got it. I will definitely take very good care of her!”

Ning Lan.

“Why didn’t you say? I even had to find out from the news!”

“Hai, I was too engrossed in being happy and forgot to tell you all.”

“I’ll say it first. When the child is born, you have to make me a nominal kin 1 .”

“Sure, do you want to be my child’s godsister then?”

“…Shut up!”

“Hahahaha.”

There was even a flurry of congratulatory voices on Weibo.

This joyous news of Zhang Ye and Wu Zeqing’s had shaken the entire entertainment circle!
