Chapter 1162: Chapter 1162
Zhang Yang felt a sense of relief after understanding everything.
Now it was time to switch the roles in this cat-and-mouse game.
Zhang Yang arrived at the waiting area. Because he had a staff badge from the organizer, nobody stopped him even though no one recognized him.
He wandered around and saw quite a few celebrities.
But he also saw the side of celebrities that they don’t show in public.
Some people really knew how to act like big shots, shouting orders at their managers and entourages. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novèlfire.net
Their demeanor was truly off-putting, and even some of the celebrity assistants displayed an incredibly arrogant attitude, extremely conceited.
Zhang Yang shook his head and didn’t want to bother with these people or say anything, but he was unexpectedly blocked by the assistant of a top male celebrity.
“Hey, you, yes, I’m talking to you. Quickly find a different dressing room for our star. He needs a private space and can’t be crowded with all sorts of people in a shared makeup area.”
Zhang Yang initially didn’t want to engage, but the woman physically stopped him as he tried to leave, pushing him back.
“I’m talking to you, are you deaf?”
Zhang Yang frowned and, without expression, said to the assistant, “If you want to throw a tantrum, take it elsewhere. This is not the place to make trouble. Get out of the way.”
Not having found Xiao Man, Zhang Yang was already in a bad mood.
Encountering such a petty woman, he naturally wasn’t in the mood for niceties.
As a result, the assistant was immediately infuriated by Zhang Yang’s words. In her eyes, Zhang Yang was just an ordinary staff member, a nobody.
“What?! Is this how your organizers handle things?”
“How can you let just anyone in here? I’m going to file a complaint.”
“Unless you kneel down right now and apologize, and arrange a private dressing room for our star.”
The assistant knew that sometimes you have to make enough noise to get the organizer’s attention. But this time, she chose the wrong person to confront.
Zhang Yang pointed to himself and said to the assistant, “Are you sure you want me to kneel?”
“Of course I do! Are your ears stuffed with cotton?”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang picked up his walkie-talkie.
“By the way, what’s the name of your star again?” Zhang Yang asked.
The assistant assumed Zhang Yang was afraid and was about to compromise. She proudly and smugly replied, “Remember this: our star is the current top male singer and will be performing on stage later.”
Zhang Yang, impatient, clapped his hands and said, “You don’t need to tell me all that. Just tell me his name, or how am I supposed to arrange it for you?”
“Why are you in such a rush? I haven’t finished speaking yet, and you should kneel first.”
“Otherwise, you’re not even worthy of knowing our star’s name.”
Zhang Yang was genuinely amused by her words. He no longer bothered to ask, picked up his walkie-talkie, and commanded, “Get a few people over here…”
After stating his location, a dozen well-trained security personnel came over.
The woman, seeing this, still didn’t realize what was happening, thinking they were bodyguards summoned for her star, and she was quite satisfied.
“I didn’t expect you to handle things so well, but don’t think this is over just yet. You still need to kneel.”
Ignoring the woman’s words, Zhang Yang bluntly said, “Escort this woman and her star out of the venue. Also, notify the media that this male celebrity is throwing a tantrum and that there’s no one here to serve him; he can go wherever he pleases.”
The assistant was dumbfounded by Zhang Yang’s words, never expecting him to speak this way.
“Wait, who are you? What gives you the right to decide whether our star stays or goes? He was invited to perform, and he’s supposed to go on stage.”
Unfortunately, these security personnel were all arranged by Jin Tuantuan, and all the current staff were either organized by Jiang Meiren or Xu Mengyan.
So Zhang Yang was the authority here.
Just a small celebrity, who cares if he’s top or not.
Even if it required paying breach of contract fines, they could afford it.
However, such a situation of being expelled is extremely rare. For an artist, regardless of fault, after such an incident, there likely won’t be many willing to hire them.
The security guards acted immediately, seizing the assistant, while others stormed into the dressing room to grab the equally arrogant male celebrity.
“What do you think you’re doing? Do you know who I am?”
“How dare you be so rough? This outfit is custom-made and very expensive.”
Now the assistant realized she might have messed with the wrong person.
If it were just an ordinary staff member, they wouldn’t have this much power.
“Sir, I’m sure there’s some misunderstanding. I didn’t know your status, so I might have spoken harshly. I apologize,” the assistant quickly said to Zhang Yang.
These people were quick to change their tune when judging someone’s status, but sadly, Zhang Yang wasn’t buying it.
“Take them away,” Zhang Yang said.
The male celebrity hastily shouted, “You can’t treat me ! I’m going to file a complaint against you.”
“My fans won’t let you get away with this.”
But soon the celebrity caved, as he knew being expelled would lead to a rapid decline in reputation.
So, the male celebrity yelled at the assistant, “You wretch, what have you done?”
The assistant, feeling aggrieved, replied, “I didn’t do anything. I just asked them to arrange a private space for you, and…”
“And what, spit it out! Do you want to see me ruined?” The celebrity was anxious.
“And then I just told this man to kneel and apologize. I didn’t know his status; I thought he was just staff,” the assistant realized her fate was sealed.
The celebrity quickly responded, then hurriedly said to Zhang Yang, “Sir, let’s talk this out. I’ll have my assistant kneel and apologize to you. Please forgive this reckless behavior.”
Yet no matter what they said, Zhang Yang was unmoved.
“No… don’t take me away. I still have a program to perform; this stage is crucial for me.”
“I’ll apologize. I apologize to all of you. I’ll even kneel…”
This scene was observed clearly by many other celebrities and staff members.
Especially those celebrities who liked to act arrogantly, they all toned it down significantly.
Zhang Yang looked around and said coldly, “Anyone else? Anyone else want to have a chat with me, feel free to step up.”
