Chapter 102: Car Was Smashed by a Flower Pot!
I am Really a Superstar
Before noon.
Arts Channel D Office.
After he finished reading the program plans, Zhang Ye did not give any suggestions. He only absorbed the information and familiarized himself with the environment. He also built ties with his colleagues. This was the mission for his first day at work. After finishing the matters on his hands, Zhang Ye took the initiative to get up and went to a workerâs room at the end of the corridor. He found a broom and dustpan to begin sweeping up the office. He was diligent and did the job well. He even cleaned the corners, which were a bit more dirty. Finally, he even used a cloth to wipe the window panes happily.
One paneâ¦
Two panesâ¦
Zhang Ye did not complain at all.
Xiao Lu took a glance and said quietly, âWere we too much?â
Hou Ge laughed, âNot at all. We are putting the rookie in his place. Everyone has to go through this initiation process. Itâs very common.â
âBut no matter what, Zhang Ye is a host, and Brother Hu appreciates him so much, soâ¦â Hou Di also could not bear this any more.
Xiao Lu coughed, âWhy donât I wipe, too?â
Hou Ge stopped her, âNo, or this will be all for naught. Letâs just order him around today. Weâll return to usual tomorrow.â
Xiao Lu could only say, âAlright.â
Dafei expressed his attitude once again, âNothing better to do.â
Hou Ge rolled his eyes, âWhat do you know? In the future, you will thank me. Rookies need to be suppressed a bit, or they will revolt!â
Hou Di sighed, âIâll listen to my elder brother.â
â¦â¦
Lunch break.
Zhang Ye had finished his chores and wiped his sweat and cleaned his hands. He was prepared to head to the cafeteria for his meal, but he was not sure where it was. âHou Ge, shall we eat together? Whereâs the cafeteria? Do we need to make a meal card?â
Hou Ge laughed and patted him on the shoulder, âLittle Zhang, since itâs your first day, why donât we have a meal outside? Why bother with the cafeteria?â
Zhang Ye said, âOh, sure. I didnât think that far ahead.â
Xiao Luâs eyes lit up, âWhere shall we eat?â
Hou Ge said, âWe donât have to go to too good a place. Just any restaurant will do. Letâs have a welcoming meal for Little Zhang. I heard thereâs a restaurant at Guomao thatâs not bad. The food is cheap and delicious.â Saying that, he added on, âLittle Zhang just graduated from college, so he canât have much money. We should help him save.â
Hou Di was also hungry, âAlright.â
âDafei, are you going?â Hou Ge glanced at him.
âHow can I not go, with all of you going?â Dafei put down his work.
The group of people left the small office and walked downstairs.
However, on the way, they met many employees of the television station. Some of them were from the Arts Channel, while others were from other channels. What made them surprised was that when many people saw Zhang Ye, they gave off the feeling like they had jumped out of their skins. Some even flitted a glance at Zhang Ye, while some were even worse. They tried to avoid him as far as possible. And when Zhang Ye walked past them, they would all turn back and look at him. They would also enter into whispers and point at Zhang Ye.
âItâs him.â
âI saw him.â
âHe really came to our unit?â
âIt canât be? Why did the Leader hire him?â
âIt canât be? Itâs really him? Did you see wrongly?â
Out of the television station, Hou Ge was curious, âLittle Zhang, why were they all looking at you?â
âThatâs right, thatâs right.â Xiao Lu was also very surprised. âArenât you a rookie? And yet people know you? The radio station doesnât show your face, but only your voice, right? That canât be!â
Zhang Ye laughed, âHow would I know? They might not be looking at me.â
âThey must have recognized the wrong person.â Hou Ge concluded and then said, âRight, my car canât be driven today. Which of you drive? We canât all be taking public transport there, right? Then we wouldnât be back in time in the afternoon. It will be too slow.
Zhang Ye took out his keys, âI drive.â
Hou Ge was surprised, âEh, you even have a car? Not bad, Little Zhang. Looks like you work very hard. You can buy a car just after a few months? Eh, this keyâ¦â He said in surprise, âBMW?â
Dafei seemed very interested, âWhich series?â
âX5, I just received it yesterday, â said Zhang Ye.
âNot bad, even the low configuration of the X5 costs hundreds of thousands,â said Hou Di.
The few people came to the parking lot, while Zhang Ye drove to pick them up. Everyone got in the car, and the five people filled the car perfectly. As the space inside the car was very large, it did not feel crowded.
Dafei acclaimed, âNice car.â
Sparks flew out of Xiao Luâs eyes, âWhen will I be able to buy such a car thatâs worth hundreds of thousands?â
Hou Ge smiled. âLittle sister Xiao Lu, my car is also a high configuration Reizi. The entire thing costs 700,000-800,000. If you like it, Iâll let you drive it for a few days.â He and his brother had a good job for the past few years, and their salaries were high. Hence, they gritted their teeth to buy a good car, so as to flaunt. Compared to the X5, their car was in no way inferior. Even its performance was slightly better than the X5, and was cheaper.
Just hundreds of thousands?
Hur Hur.
Zhang Ye did not say a word and just drove to their destination.
Xiao Lu was excited, âYou said it, Hou Ge! Thatâs great!â
Hou Ge waved his hand, âNo problem at all. My car is your car. Drive it as you wish!â
âHou Ge sure is chivalrous.â Immediately, Xiao Lu no longer put too much thought on Zhang Yeâs X5.
Even Dafeiâs eyes turned clear, âHou Ge, lend it to me, too. I donât have as much money as you. Lend it to me to have a thrill, too.â
âNot a problem, not a problem.â Hou Ge enjoyed their reactions.
Hou Ge was bragging about his Reizi along the way, saying how it was better than a BMW, and how the configuration was good. Everyone was listening to him.
Dafei said, âIndeed, the Reiziâs performance is far better than a BMW. At the same price, its functionality and performance capabilities are about the same. BMW is really just selling its brand.â Saying that, he paused and looked at the interior of Zhang Yeâs X5, âBut why do I think this BMW is a bit different? Is this really a X5? Iâve seen a few versions of the X5. My friend is in the car business, but why is the interior slightly different? And this glassâ¦â He knocked on it, âWhy is it so thick? The sound also doesnât seem right. Did you modify it?â
âNo.â Zhang Ye said.
âThen thatâs weird.â Dafei gave a touch.
Hou Ge chuckled, âWhatâs different? Itâs just the lowest configuration. I saw a 4S shopâs price. Itâs 800,000, right, Little Zhang? â
Zhang Ye smiled. âAbout there.â
âSee? Iâm right!â Hou Ge said, âItâs just slightly inferior to my car.â
Xiao Lu was impressed, âHou Ge has the money, indeed.â
Zhang Ye only focused on his driving. The restaurant recommended by Hou Ge was just in front, so he drove forward to search for parking. As the roadsides were full, Zhang Ye parked his car beside the restaurantâs wall.
But suddenly, an accident happened!
Just as Zhang Ye stopped his car, and when his colleagues were about to alight, the sound of childrenâs laughter came from the windows on the fifth floor of the restaurant. Maybe they were messing around, but suddenly, a ceramic flower pot that contained Moâorea flowers fell from the sky, smashing straight at the BMW X5!
âAh!â
âDonât touch the flower pots!â
âXiaotong, come down!â
âOh, no! Oh, no! It fell down!â
âThose people downstairs, dodge!â
The voices of adults came from the fifth floor to warn the people below.
Hou Ge raised his head and was scared out of his wits, âMommy! Run!â
Then, the flower pot slammed loudly into the rooftop of Zhang Yeâs BMW. The flower pot was smashed into pieces, and the soil was scattered everywhere. The force involved was clearly great!
Hou Di shouted, âHey!â He quickly got out of the car.
Dafei was also feeling sad, âThis is a car that Zhang Ye just bought! Thisâ¦â
Xiao Lu opened the door and shouted upstairs, âWho the hell lacks public courtesy!? Come down! What the heck!? Do you want to kill people?â
The staff from the restaurant were also worried. A few employees standing by the door rushed forward, âIs everyone okay? Is everyone okay?â
âWe are fine!â Xiao Lu said angrily, âBut the carâ¦â
Dafei said, âThis is a new car!â
The employee immediately said, âSorry, sorry. We will settle it immediately. But the children upstairs are naughty, soâ¦â He looked at the terrible state of the flower pot, and could imagine what the state the car would be after the impact. This was a BMW. If their restaurant had to pay the cost, they wouldâ¦
Suddenly, a bunch of adults pulled their children downstairs.
A middle-aged woman came forward with an apologetic face, âSorry, sorry. It was carelessness on my childâs part.â Seeing that no one was injured, she was relieved. But when she saw that a car had been smashed and the brand of the car, the middle-aged woman turned pale, âBMW? This⦠We canât afford to pay for it!â
A boy and two girls knew that they had made a mistake. They cried out loud.
Xiao Lu said in a hurry, âJust because you canât pay for it, thatâs the end? Itâs the fifth floor. With this impact, who knows if the car can still be driven. Maybe even the ignition has been destroyed! Itâs a new car!â
The few colleagues were worried for Zhang Ye.
However, the car owner, Zhang Ye, was very calm. He alighted from the car without any hurry, as if nothing had happened.
The middle-aged womanâs eyes were red as she looked at Zhang Ye, âSorry. We are really sorry. We did not do it on purpose. This carâ¦â
The three children were crying loudly, looking very sad.
Zhang Ye smiled and touched the childrenâs head, âDonât cry. Itâs alright.â He looked at the woman, âBig Sis, go on up and have your meal. Itâs alright.â
âBut the carâ¦â The woman was nearly on the brink of tears.
Zhang Ye said kindly, âGo back. You donât have to pay. My car is fine.â
Dafei said, âWhat do you mean itâs fine? The ignition might even be destroyed!â
Xiao Lu also pulled on Zhang Ye, âWhy arenât you making them pay? Are you dumb!?â
Many of the people present did not know why the car owner was so calm. Did this person turn dumb from the impact?
However, Zhang Ye lightly walked before his car and used his hands to slowly wipe away the flower potâs fragments and soil. When everyone looked carefully at this, they were dumbfounded!
The roof was damaged?
The ignition was destroyed?
Your granny is destroyed! The carâs roof was not damaged at all!
There was not even a scratch or mark! Even the f**king paint had not been chipped off!
