Translator: Legge Editor: Legge

In the morning.

At home.

Zhang Ye was still sleeping when the bedroom door opened.

“Little Ye!”

“Mom, what do you want?”

“Wake up.”

“What time is it? Where’s Old Wu?”

“Your wife has already left for work. Wake up quickly! There’s news of you on TV!”

“Hai, which day am I not in the news? I’m already sick of seeing it.”

“It’s about your Asian popularity ranking. You’ve advanced again!”

“Huh? Surely not, right? Didn’t I get banned in Japan and Korea?”

“Have a look for yourself!”

“Alright, let me see.”

Upon hearing that, Zhang Ye woke up some more. He sat up in bed with a yawn and picked up his phone to browse for his ranking on the Asian Celebrity Rankings Index. He was immediately delighted by what he saw. He really rose in the rankings? He checked online and found that everyone was also talking about this.

On Weibo.

“The Japanese and Koreans must be dumbfounded!”

“Hahahaha, they’re definitely dumbfounded alright!”

“I learned Korean, so I went to have a look over there just now. The people and media in Japan and Korea are all scolding at Zhang Ye right now!”

“Of course, it’s not like they’ve come across a celebrity as wondrous as Zhang Ye in their country!”

“That’s right! Even in our country, Zhang Ye is the one and only oddity!”

“Even the ban couldn’t suppress Face-smacking Zhang?”

“That restriction order is completely meaningless then!”

“Does he really plan on fighting and scolding his way to the top of Asia?”

“Pfft, that would be really interesting to see!”

After browsing through the comments, Zhang Ye gave a little smile. It seemed like this was a possible path too. Didn’t he also scold his way up step by step in the Chinese market? He would take on whichever industry he was in, fighting and scolding his way through the bloody clashes, battling more and more valiantly as he went on to reach the top of the Chinese entertainment industry. So this method could be replicated at the Asian level as well? So it was also possible to do the same thing on the Asian stage too!

If he had hit a wall every time he got into a fight, Zhang Ye’s temper would probably have become much more restrained.

But instead, his popularity rose every time he got fought! It kept increasing every time it happened!

He could become famous!

Vent his frustrations!

And make himself happy!

Heh, so why not just carry on fighting then!

So what does it take to make a hooligan?

This is what it takes to make a hooligan!

Soon after, the calls from his friends started coming in.

Heavenly Queen Xu Meilan.

“Teacher Zhang.”

“Sister Lan.”

“Congratulations, you’re now sitting firmly in the middle of the Asian A-list rankings.”

“Hai, you’ve already ascended to the top of Asia. What am I compared to you?”

“So what if I’ve reached the top of Asia? I couldn’t even get myself onto the International Celebrity Rankings Index. I only managed to earn some success domestically, as well as in Asia.”

“You’re already setting your sights on the world, but I had better try to make it in Asia for now.”

“Anyway, congratulations. You’re the only one who can gain such wonderful success through fighting and scolding.”

“Haha, this bro doesn’t have any other abilities, but I do have plenty of experience in fighting and scolding other people. I can’t help it. I was forced to do so because of the colleagues I’ve encountered over the years.”

“By the way.”

“What’s the matter?”

“Um—”

“Ah?”

“Never mind, it’s nothing.”

There was something?

If there was something, say it!

Seeing how she did not want to tell him, Zhang Ye did not probe further.

At this moment, his mother also received a call in the living room.

When Zhang Ye finished speaking, his mother said, “Little Ye, your wife just called. She says that she left a document behind. Go and look for it and then send it to her.”

Zhang Ye asked, “Where did she say it was?”

His mother said, “Zeqing said that it’s on the nightstand.”

Zhang Ye went back to his room to look around. “OK, I found it.”

His father urged him, “Hurry up and go. I’m guessing that Zeqing is in a hurry to have it.”

Zhang Ye smiled and said, “Well, this is new. I’ve always been the one who is absent-minded. Old Wu has never forgotten anything before. Alright, I’ll take it to her.”

He took the car and drove off to the SARFT.

…

Later that morning.

Outside the SARFT’s compound.

Zhang Ye did not drive inside. That would be too ostentatious of him. Every time he came here, he would always park outside and walk in. But when he arrived at the main entrance today, he spotted a familiar woman. She looked like the person who was always with Xu Meilan and could always be seen with her on television as well. Oh yes, he suddenly remembered that this was one of the coordinators at Xu Meilan’s agency. She was probably the person who handled the external affairs for the Heavenly Queen.

Yang Xue said, “Supervisor Chen, this is really an urgent matter.”

Supervisor Chen said, “I can’t make the decision regarding this either.”

“Can I see Director Xu for a bit?”

“Director Xu is very busy. He has an entire day of meetings today.”

“But that movie of ours is—”

“The approval is not that quick. It all has to go according to procedure, so I can’t guarantee you how long it will take since my words don’t count for this.”

“Brother Chen, can’t you just let me inside?”

“This is the SARFT’s headquarters. It’s not someplace where we deal with external affairs. Outsiders are not allowed in, and you don’t have an appointment either, so it’s better that you go back and wait for the news.”

“But—”

At this moment, Zhang Ye came strolling over to them.

When Supervisor Chen saw him, he broke out into a smile. “Boss Zhang, you’re here?”

When Yang Xue saw Zhang Ye, she was taken aback.

Zhang Ye smiled and said, “Yes, I brought something over for Old Wu.”

Supervisor Chen said, “Chief Wu should be in a meeting at the moment.”

Zhang Ye smiled and said, “Sure, I’ll head to her office to wait for her.” Then he pointed at Yang Xue without warning and said, “I’ll be bringing her along with me too.”

Supervisor Chen broke out into a sweat. “About that—”

Zhang Ye told Yang Xue, “Come on, let’s go.”

Yang Xue was overjoyed, but she looked cautiously at Supervisor Chen. “Brother Chen?”

Supervisor Chen smiled wryly at her. If Zhang Ye wanted to bring her in, who was he to stop her?

So Yang Xue followed Zhang Ye into the SARFT compound just like that. Frankly, she had seen this compound many times before. But this was her first time actually stepping inside.

Yang Xue said gratefully, “Teacher Zhang, thank you so much!”

Zhang Ye smiled. “You’re with Sister Lan, aren’t you?”

Yang Xue quickly said, “Yes.”

Zhang Ye asked, “Who are you looking for?”

Yang Xue immediately answered, “Director Xu.”

“Alright, I got it.” Zhang Ye nodded.

Director Xu? So it was probably regarding a film.

He finally understood Xu Meilan’s hesitation over the phone.

A person came walking over from the opposite direction.

“Yo, Director Zhang!”

“Oh, Old He.”

“Wanna grab a drink?”

“Can’t, I just came to send something to Old Wu. I still have loads of work waiting for me when I get back to my office.”

“I haven’t seen you since the Spring Festival Gala. Let’s meet up soon. I’ll call the others from the Spring Festival Gala’s organizing committee too.”

“Sure thing, that won’t be a problem.”

Another person spotted him.

“Boss Zhang, good morning.”

“Hey, Supervisor Liu. You look like you’ve been enjoying life recently?”

“Haha, I just got fat from eating too much. Hey, I heard that your popularity has grown again?”

“It’s nothing much. Oh yes, where’s Old Xu’s office?”

“Turn left on the second floor. It’s the second door.”

“Alright.”

Along the way, anyone who saw Zhang Ye would greet him.

When they got upstairs, Zhang Ye turned left and went straight over to knock on an office door.

Director Xu raised his head. “Eh, Boss Zhang?”

Zhang Ye smiled and said, “Just ate breakfast?”

Director Xu set down his disposable chopsticks. “Hai, it’s a little late for that, isn’t it?”

Zhang Ye pointed back at Yang Xue with a smile and said, “Someone’s looking for you to get something done. I saw her standing outside, so I brought her in. It’s just a small matter. Why don’t you quickly handle it for her?”

Director Xu smiled and said, “With Boss Zhang saying so, I definitely will.”

Zhang Ye said, “Alright, it’s out of my hands then.”

He didn’t speak any further and just left Yang Xue there before proceeding upstairs himself.

Since the start, Yang Xue did not even manage to get a word in. Or rather, she did not even dare to say a word ever since she stepped foot through the SARFT’s entrance. She was just looking on in a daze as Zhang Ye made small talk with others along the way. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she really wouldn’t have such a strong feeling. She was so envious!

This was the SARFT!

The authoritative SARFT that held the most power over the entertainment industry!

Yang Xue was welling up with emotions. At the moment, she only felt one thing.

It was incredible!

It was so incredible!

In the entire entertainment industry, among the circle of celebrities, who had made it to where Zhang Ye was? Who could do what Zhang Ye had done here? Swaggering around the SARFT and treating it like his own home. Of all the Chinese celebrities, only Zhang Ye could pull this off. He was second to none!

This is what you call an impressive person!
