Chapter 17 Do You Believe It Yourself?
by SunflowerAfter eating a sumptuous breakfast delivered to her hotel room, Zhang Jingwen waited for the two bodyguards sent by the company to arrive before heading out with her manager, Wang Yue’e.
She got into the car sent by the company. It was a bit low-grade, less than a million, but it was acceptable.
They arrived at the Beijing TV station at around nine-thirty, half an hour earlier than scheduled.
At ten o’clock, the program officially began recording in the studio. It was a show that explained, introduced, and commented on film and television dramas.
Zhang Jingwen was an actress who had just debuted not long ago. She starred in a fantasy drama called “Immortal Fate Dream,” which was about to be broadcast on a major network, and she was here to promote it.
This episode of the show was about “Immortal Fate Dream,” and as the female lead, Zhang Jingwen talked about some interesting things that happened during filming and behind-the-scenes tidbits.
The recording went very smoothly. They left the TV station around noon and took a car back to the hotel.
Then, the car she was in was rear-ended again.
This time, the driver was not Sister E, but a driver and bodyguard sent by the company. He drove very steadily and did not brake suddenly.
But they were still rear-ended.
Although it wasn’t her car, she was sitting inside, and it was the second time in a row she had been rear-ended.
What luck!
“How are you driving?”
A bodyguard from the front passenger seat got out of the car and angrily came over to bang on the taxi’s door.
This was the company’s car, driven by the two of them, who were both bodyguards and drivers. Although they didn’t have to pay for the repairs, they would inevitably be reprimanded by their supervisor when they got back.
The taxi driver had clearly been distracted just now, didn’t control the safe distance well, was going too fast, and didn’t have time to brake.
“Get out!” The bodyguard was furious, banging on the car window with loud thumps.
The taxi driver was originally going to admit fault, but seeing how arrogant this person was, and thinking about how he was fully responsible this time, his mind went hot. He directly took a wrench from the storage box, pulled open the car door, and got out.
“What the hell are you banging on? Isn’t it just a rear-end collision?” The driver brandished the wrench in his hand and retorted directly.
Seeing that the driver was even more arrogant than him, the bodyguard directly punched him in the face.
Before the driver could react, he was knocked to the ground, and the wrench in his hand was snatched away.
When Chen Feng saw that this person was about to beat the driver, he immediately opened the car door and shouted, “Stop! You’ll be going too far if you hit him again.”
The bodyguard glared at Chen Feng, “This is none of your business! Get back in!”
This was a taxi, so besides the taxi driver, there was of course a passenger. The bodyguard didn’t target Chen Feng.
However, seeing Chen Feng get out of the car, the other bodyguard in the driver’s seat also quickly got out, in case his companion was at a disadvantage.
“If you let him go now, we can still resolve this peacefully. If you don’t let go and still want to hit him, it will become a public order incident. Right now, it’s just a common traffic accident.”
Chen Feng was certainly not intimidated by these two and calmly tried to persuade them.
The driver, pinned to the ground, took the opportunity to soften his stance, “Buddy, I was reckless just now. Let me go, and I’ll pretend nothing happened.”
The two bodyguards exchanged a look and then let go of the taxi driver.
The taxi driver was indeed honest this time and took the initiative to say that he was fully responsible for the rear-end collision and would immediately call his insurance for a claim.
In the back seat of the car, Zhang Jingwen said to Wang Yue’e in a very depressed mood, “These two days have been really unlucky.”
Wang Yue’e was also depressed. Being rear-ended twice in a row was indeed bad luck.
“Let’s get out. We’ll call a taxi to go back.”
Yesterday, the two of them had stayed behind to deal with the accident, which wasted a lot of time.
This time, they weren’t the ones driving, so of course, they didn’t want to go through it again.
“That’s the only way. It’s a good thing I’m not famous yet, otherwise, this would definitely be a trending topic.”
“You’re overthinking it.”
“…”
The two women got out of the car, and then they saw Chen Feng.
Their eyes widened almost simultaneously, and they both shouted “Holy crap” in their hearts.
As women, they had to be reserved, so they didn’t let those two words come directly out of their mouths.
“How is it you again? Who are you? Why do you keep following me?”
With two bodyguards present, Zhang Jingwen’s courage grew a lot. She took a few steps forward, stared at Chen Feng, and questioned him loudly.
This time, even Wang Yue’e began to suspect Chen Feng.
Once, twice, three times could be a coincidence, but it couldn’t be a coincidence the fourth and fifth time, right?
How could there be so many consecutive coincidences in the world?
At this moment, Chen Feng could only use the words “holy crap” to describe his mood.
This was indeed too much of a coincidence!
It was just that this time, even he knew that saying it was a coincidence would not be convincing.
“What? Can’t find an excuse? Didn’t you say yesterday that it was all a coincidence? Tell me honestly, are you my sasaeng fan?”
She had a fierce look on her face at first, but when she got to the end, her eyes lit up slightly, and she looked at Chen Feng with hidden anticipation.
“Sasaeng fan?”
Chen Feng indicated that he didn’t understand.
Zhang Jingwen nodded repeatedly, “Yes, a sasaeng fan. It refers to those fans who are crazily obsessed with their idols. I think you’re that kind of person, right? Although I also hate people like you, I have to say, you have a good eye. I’ve only been debuting for a few months, and you’ve already seen my potential at a glance, knowing that I will become a big star in the future. However, I still have to say that your behavior is very undesirable. If you like me, please support me in a proper way. Don’t follow me, and especially don’t interfere with my private life. Otherwise, I will be very angry and might even call the police to have you arrested directly. Do you understand?”
Chen Feng had a head full of question marks and directly shook his head, “I’m not your sasaeng fan. Whether you believe it or not, I can only say that these few times have really all been coincidences.”
“So many times in a row are all coincidences, do you believe it yourself?” Zhang Jingwen looked at him with a contemptuous expression.
Even Wang Yue’e secretly shook her head. She had been deceived before, believing that what he said were all coincidences. But now, if you say it’s a coincidence again, even a three-year-old wouldn’t believe it.
Chen Feng shook his head a little awkwardly. He was telling the truth, but they wouldn’t believe him. Did he have to lie and say he was her sasaeng fan for them to believe him?
Chen Feng was very helpless.
“Alright. I know you have your concerns, afraid of being looked down upon if you admit it, or that I’ll call the police to arrest you. Don’t worry, as long as you don’t follow me or harass me anymore, I’ll forgive you. Do you want an autograph? I can also take a photo with you.”
Seeing her eager smile, Chen Feng thought for a moment. To avoid trouble, a sasaeng fan was a sasaeng fan. Otherwise, this woman with a problematic brain might really call the police.
So, Chen Feng subconsciously nodded and smiled憨厚 (honestly and kindly), “Then thank you very much.”
“Where should I sign?”
Zhang Jingwen deftly took out a signing pen from her small bag, a smile on her face and eagerness in her eyes.
Chen Feng felt his upper and lower pockets and found nothing. Finally, he steeled his heart and decided to go all in with the act. He directly opened his jacket, turned around, and said, “Please sign the back of my shirt.”
He was wearing a jacket and a shirt.
When Zhang Jingwen saw him like this, she was even more satisfied. Only a die-hard fan would be willing to do this, willing to use their clothes for an idol’s autograph. This was true love.
“Okay, you squat down a bit.”
Chen Feng half-squatted down. Zhang Jingwen lifted his jacket, raised her pen to the back of his white shirt, and with a few flourishes, wrote her three-character signature in a flamboyant style.
She had practiced her artistic signature for a long time, and today it finally had its official debut.
At this moment, Zhang Jingwen felt as if she were already a big star.
