Entertainment: From Street Interviews to Global Stardom

Chapter 27: There’s Always a Girl Trying to Flirt with Me!

“She said she wants to eat durian tonight, and also instant noodles, and that the washboard at home is broken. She wants you to go buy one later!” Hu Ge said, clearly amused.

Wu Jing, oh Wu Jing, you’ve got quite the strict household!

Wu Jing instantly collapsed, sitting down with a face full of survival instincts, and said to Yang Fan, “Yang Fan, where are you staying tonight? How about I go with you?”

Daring not to answer his wife’s call, that’s adding more guilt to the crime!

He felt the need to get out and hide for a bit!

Yang Fan smiled, “I have a flight tonight, are you sure you want to come with me?”

Wu Jing froze for a moment, “So soon? Didn’t you just arrive?”

“I came here on a business trip. After interviewing you all, my task is done. How long do you expect me to stay here?” He came here for work, not for sightseeing!

After the interview, he wasn’t planning to stay any longer anyway.

Plus, Yang Fan felt something had gone wrong at the station, and he wanted to go back early to check things out.

Also, with Hao Yue, this intern host, in charge of his show, he didn’t feel secure. He was worried she might cause trouble, so he had to go back early and keep an eye on things.

Wu Jing was left speechless, not knowing what to say next.

The others weren’t too happy about Yang Fan leaving so soon.

Zhang Ziyi furrowed her brows and looked at Yang Fan, “Yang Fan, our filming is about to wrap up. Don’t you want to stay for another couple of days and join our wrap-up party?”

Hu Ge chimed in, “Yeah, at the wrap-up party, the director will notify actors who’ve already finished their filming. Many of them might be there, you wouldn’t want to miss a chance for another interview, would you?”

“Right, Yang Fan, stay for a couple of days and enjoy yourself,” Zhang Yi added, trying to keep him around.

Jing Boran looked at Yang Fan with hope, not wanting him to leave so soon.

They hadn’t even gotten to know each other well, and now this person was leaving already? That was too quick!

Yang Fan smiled but didn’t directly respond to the question. He had made himself clear before; there was no need to say more.

“If there’s a chance, of course, I’ll come back and visit properly.”

“Alright, now let’s take a look at some other questions that fans have sent in.”

“Ms. Zhang Ziyi, here’s a question from a fan…”

“…”

The actors had to continue filming tomorrow, so the interview couldn’t be too long.

Thus, the entire interview lasted only an hour. For the host industry, this one hour of live broadcast was enough for Yang Fan to brag about for the rest of his life.

When the interview ended, no one wanted to leave. The group sat down on chairs, silently hoping he would stay.

Yang Fan helplessly said, “If you guys don’t leave, I will! I need to go back to the hotel and pack, and if I delay any longer, I’ll miss my flight!”

“Hey, let me drive you,” Hu Ge offered.

“Alright!” Yang Fan accepted gladly, since he was in a hurry.

Jing Boran was annoyed with himself. Why hadn’t he thought of this earlier?

This Hu Ge, acting so fast and decisively!

Everyone geared up to leave the room, heading for the exit.

When they got to the front desk, Yang Fan purposely quickened his pace and handed the credit card he had prepared to the front desk receptionist.

“Room 306, check out,” Yang Fan said.

Director Li’s eyes widened, “Yang Fan, no, no, this isn’t right. This is our crew’s dinner. No way you should be paying. Young lady, don’t listen to him, swipe my card, swipe my card!”

Director Li forcibly snatched the card from Yang Fan. Yang Fan helplessly smiled, “It’s not me paying; the station will reimburse it!”

“Huh? Can I get my card back please?” Director Li instantly regretted it. The station would reimburse, after all!

Yang Fan smiled and took his card back from Director Li’s hand, grinning, “Too late. The lady already processed the payment.”

The receptionist looked awkward. Did she act too quickly?

“Wait, Yang Fan… Yang Fan!!!”

“Wow, are you Yang Fan from Mango TV?” The receptionist suddenly recognized who he was, excitedly covering her mouth.

Yang Fan took off his mask, smiling and nodding at the receptionist, “Hello.”

“Wow! Yang Fan! It really is you! You’re so naughty today!” The receptionist blushed and said, covering her mouth.

Hu Ge, Jing Boran, and Wu Jing all nodded enthusiastically. Wasn’t that too much? Leaving so soon was definitely a bit much!

Yang Fan was confused, “How am I being naughty? What did I do?”

“You’re so… handsome!” The receptionist’s entire body seemed to be surrounded by pink bubbles, her love-struck, almost shy expression clear.

Yang Fan never expected such a response.

“Wow, Yang Fan, I really like you! Can I give you a hug?” The receptionist asked eagerly.

Yang Fan smiled and nodded, “Of course!”

The receptionist gasped, covering her mouth in disbelief, then joyfully jumped into Yang Fan’s arms.

Nearby employees and customers pulled out their phones and started snapping pictures.

The scene was filled with shrill screams, with many people asking for photos or autographs.

Wu Jing lightly patted Hu Ge, who had a hat, mask, and sunglasses on, and whispered, “I never thought, Mr. Hu, that you would have a moment when no one would recognize you!”

Hu Ge laughed easily, “Every actor has a day like this. I just need to keep doing my job well!”

Wu Jing silently gave Hu Ge a thumbs-up.

This Hu Ge, no wonder so many people like him. It’s hard not to like someone with this mindset!

If it had been a younger idol being ignored, he might not have blown up right then and there, but he would have definitely gotten angry later!

This was the difference between a normal actor and a star!

Everyone knew Yang Fan was in a rush for his flight. Seeing him being surrounded by so many people, they quickly stepped in to help, playing the role of bodyguards, and forcefully escorted Yang Fan out of the crowd.

But the consequence of this was that the others were also recognized!

In the end, staff and security appeared in time to maintain order, and they finally managed to leave smoothly.

However, the receptionist, who had just hugged Yang Fan, rushed out anxiously.

“Yang Fan, Yang Fan! You forgot your package! Your package, your package!” The receptionist ran after him, gasping for breath, waving a small package.

Yang Fan was a bit confused, but after a few seconds, he realized what was in the package.

Holy crap, his ten sets of apartments in Hengdian had arrived!
