Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
At the hospital.
Jin Xuan Ming had awakened.
However, the pain from his injuries was too excruciating for him and he was sweating.
“What happened? What happened to me?” Jin Xuan Ming felt that his face felt unusual.
The manager sighed. “Xuan Ming, it’s over. We’re doomed.”
Jin Xuan Ming looked at his manager’s facial expression and his face changed. “What happened? What happened to me?”
“Your chin and nose are tilted from the kick. Your nose bridge was broken and the internal cus.h.i.+on for your chin was broken too. They need to be fixed as soon as possible. Furthermore, the technology here in China can’t be matched to that in Korea. Therefore, I recommend that you return to Korea,” his manager said. She was feeling extremely helpless. Her pot of gold had just been broken.
“Return to Korea?” Jin Xuan Ming’s eyes widened. Then, he shouted, “How could it be? I can’t return back. I am so popular in China now and if I go back to Korea, I’ll lose everything. I haven’t earned enough money yet. It’s so easy to earn money in China, how can I go back so soon…”
His manager shook her head. “What else can you do besides return back home? What do you think the fans would feel if you post a picture of yourself on Weibo now? Stop overthinking. We have checked China thoroughly. When your fans find out that you’re disfigured and are no longer their prince charming, they’ll run to another celebrity after consoling you for a short while.
“It’s impossible, did you see how much the stupid Chinese fans love me? How could they give up on me?” Jin Xuan Ming shouted.
Then, his manager turned around. “Who is that?”
Some of the reporters who had been recording their conversation quickly dispersed.
“Let’s go back and look for someone who understands Korean to translate it. I feel that there’s a big secret in here.”
“Haha, we got it, we really got it!”
“D*mn, Jin Xuan Ming is so miserable. If his fans see this, they’d be shocked to death.”
…
The manager was stunned when she heard it. She quickly went out. “Stand right there, don’t move! Delete the film.”
Obviously, she didn’t have the capability to compete with these experienced reporters.
The manager just stared at them running away and was stunned. It was over.
Her conversation with Jin Xuan Ming had been recorded by them.
The Chinese were extremely pa.s.sionate about the idols they liked. However, if they were to find out the truth, they would definitely be enraged, regardless of who they were.
Perhaps he was indeed a miserable man.
If their idol said something that violated their will, they’d definitely have a change of heart and wouldn’t care about how much they loved him in the past.
Of course, there were still hardcore fans that would stay with the idol but it was extremely rare. Once the matter was blown up by the media, everyone would find out the truth about the idol.
Some of the celebrities were extremely capable of protecting themselves. They would typically refrain from saying anything that would infuriate their fans.
Outside.
On Weibo.
Lin Fan’s Weibo had been flooded with hateful messages.
Autumn Sword Fish Killer was the Flame War Emperor of Lin Fan’s Weibo but he couldn’t defeat those hardcore fans of Jin Xuan Ming and it was humiliating for him. There were simply too many people and he couldn’t compete with them at all.
“I give up.”
Autumn Sword Fish Killer was speechless. It was his first defeat and the first time he had witnessed the true power of Korean fans. It was something that the Chinese celebrities couldn’t do.
If one were to scroll through Lin Fan’s Weibo, he or she would see that it was filled with hateful messages.
Jin Xuan Ming’s fans were extremely hurt and depressed by the fate of their idol. They couldn’t take it and started to scold Lin Fan on Weibo. They used extremely harsh words against him.
At the same time, some of the fans started to cry. It was pathetic.
Lin Fan’s Weibo post from yesterday was also being targeted by Jin Xuan Ming’s fans.
“Feels great just like your mum.”
“My idol is not someone you can mess with.”
“I hope Xuan Ming Oppa recovers fully. Please let this f*cker take his place.”
“Rubbish Master Lin.”
Cloud Street.
Fraud Tian said, “D*mn, this kid’s Weibo just got flooded by these stupid fans.”
Wu You Lan said, “How could they do that? Sigh, but we can’t do anything anyway.”
Zhao Zhong Yang was busy with a broadcast. “Everyone, Master Lin’s Weibo just got taken over by people. Please help to fight for Master Lin.”
The fans in the broadcast room suddenly became lively.
“F*ck their moms. They dare to mess with our Master Lin? We have to destroy these r.e.t.a.r.ded fans.”
“Brothers, let’s go and destroy them.”
“We’ll fight for Master Lin.”
Then, Zhao Zhong Yang’s fans and Lin Fan’s Weibo fans all started to take action. They wanted to give their all and start a war.
Autumn Sword Fish Killer had been observing the situation. When he saw that the respective fans were fighting against each other, he was stunned. He hadn’t expected the fans of this heartless boss to be so powerful. Furthermore, there were still people who came to help. It was unbelievable.
On the other hand, Lin Fan wasn’t bothered by the situation online at all. He just let them continue with their fights.
Furthermore, he hadn’t managed to have a meal with Yue Qiu Ju s.h.i.+ and the rest. The art exhibition had stopped and although the artwork had come back, Yue Qiu Ju s.h.i.+ felt extremely unsettled.
In order to let Yue Qiu Ju s.h.i.+ calm himself down, they had to postpone this meal.
However, it was set to be taking place tonight.
Lin Fan didn’t reject their request. Yue Qiu Ju s.h.i.+ and the others were a lively bunch of elderly men. They were extremely pa.s.sionate about national artworks. He could tell that they loved his artworks a lot.
Especially the president of the Chinese Arts a.s.sociation, Zheng Zhong Shan. He kept looking at Lin Fan as if he was hinting him to give him an artwork too.
Of course, Lin Fan pretended not to know about it. He didn’t want to draw too much as it would seem like it was easy to make him draw for others. Then, it’d be meaningless.
Then, w.a.n.g Ming Yang called.
He picked up the phone and w.a.n.g Ming Yang started speaking.
“D*mn, you actually forgot about me just because I didn’t take the initiative to call you,” w.a.n.g Ming Yang complained.
Lin Fan smiled. “Haha, I am your older brother after all. The younger sibling ought to make the call. What’s up?”
“Tonight, Yun Gang is going to bring me to meet someone. Do you want to come and support me so that I won’t be bullied?” w.a.n.g Ming Yang smiled.
Lin Fan smiled. “I can’t make it tonight, I have an appointment with another group of people. Just go with Chief Wu. However, please be safe. Wealthy men like the both of you should know how to party hard. Please do not get into that kind of business and get s.e.xually transmitted diseases, I can’t treat those.”
“No, no, what are you saying? We’re honest people, how could we be involved in that? Alright then, I’ll hang up here. I have already asked you along and you’re the one who rejected me. Don’t complain about me not bringing you along,” w.a.n.g Ming Yang said.
Lin Fan said, “Alright, let’s hang up here. Go and play then!”
After hanging up.
It was pretty late already.
He parked his car and walked towards the hotel where they would be meeting.
