53: Chapter 53: Autograph Session 53: Chapter 53: Autograph Session For this type of commercial performance combined with a promotional signing event, the publicity efforts are usually very intense, and Hua Buqi’s fame does still have some appeal domestically.
At least she could be considered a second-tier celebrity within the country.
Escorted by Lin Zifeng, Hua Buqi arrived safely, and once they entered the venue, numerous investors were anxiously waiting.
The organizers hurried forward to greet Hua Buqi and her team.
“Miss Huahua, you finally arrived.
Yesterday’s press conference was already postponed, and if you hadn’t come today, we wouldn’t know how to wrap things up.”
One of the event staff quickly came forward to greet them and even stretched out his “pig trotter,” hoping to take advantage of Hua Buqi during the opportunity.
However, Meng Youjing, acting as Huahua’s agent, quickly intervened, “I’m sorry for the delay on the road, so we’re a bit late.”
Hua Buqi, wearing sunglasses and a lace uniform, looked quite charming, especially her slender, jade-like legs, which nearly drove those corpulent beasts wild with lust.
let’s enter now, everyone is waiting.” Seeing Meng Youjing blocking his attempt, the portly man didn’t show any embarrassment and quickly changed the subject.
Let’s go into the venue, Huahua.”
Accompanied by a group of about a dozen people, Hua Buqi was treated like a major celebrity, surrounded and protected tightly by layers of people.
Passing through the lobby, a refined-looking young man holding a wine glass was watching Hua Buqi with a smile as she passed through the lobby.
Muttering, “She’s so beautiful, truly a representative of the youthful era.” After admiring in this manner for a moment, the young man signaled to his bodyguard to head downstairs.
In another corner, however, a middle-aged fat man smirked coldly, certain that today’s signing event was bound to have some incidents.
After entering the venue, with the coordination of the organizers, the book signing event officially began.
By then, the entire square was nearly overflowing with people, their screams constant.
Men and women holding posters of Hua Buqi were shouting her name as if they were on some sort of drug.
“Who kisses my eyes, covering half my life’s sorrow.
Who pities my tears, washing away my life’s melancholy.
Who leaves me behind, leaving me to wander alone for a lifetime…
The entire square seemed to erupt in a war of sorts, with waves of adulatory cheers one after another.
The previously mentioned slogan was from a new single created by Hua Buqi, named “Never Abandon”, implying unwavering loyalty!
As a youthful star, not only did Hua Buqi possess a graceful appearance, but the songs she composed resonated uniquely with the sorrows of the young.
It’s no wonder she captured the hearts of countless young men and women.
Even the rising stars of recent years couldn’t catch up to her, as being an internet singer could never compare to someone who was a fully-packaged big star in singing, dancing, film, and drama.
Under the journalists’ questions, Hua Buqi showed no fear but answered straightforwardly and neatly, making Lin Zifeng, who stood beside her, wonder if this was still the same Hua Buqi he knew.
Paparazzi, or “little paparazzi” also known as “gossipmongers”, would dig up everything they could related to celebrities.
Then they would proceed with their reports, of course!
Not without a good deal of embellishment.
But Hua Buqi, ever dignified, handled the questions unflappably, leaving the journalists with nothing more to ask.
In the end, amid enthusiastic cheers, Hua Buqi performed a song from her latest album “Never Abandon”, which if you don’t leave, I will never abandon, life and death together, unto our hair turns white.
The song swept through the crowd like a tidal wave, eliciting intense cheers from her die-hard fans, sending the venue into a frenzy.
As Hua Buqi’s bodyguard, Lin Zifeng felt painfully uncomfortable, standing amidst the crowd, neither able to sit nor stand properly, being pushed around by the girls.
What’s more outrageous was a seventeen-year-old girl who loved Huahua too much ended up pressing her chest against Lin Zifeng’s face as she squeezed forward!
After several songs, seeing the remaining enthusiasm of the crowd, Lin Zifeng accompanied Hua Buqi off the stage to start signing her new album, per the organizers’ announcement.
In the surging tide of fans, it was inevitable to encounter all sorts of people.
As her personal bodyguard, his job was to ensure Hua Buqi’s safety in all respects.
Imagine, in such a crowded situation, sleazy hands were not uncommon.
With the big increase in crowd size, some people started getting sneaky ideas, preparing to take advantage during the crush to grope Hua Buqi.
Lin Zifeng, with piercing eyes, vigilantly monitored everything, preventing any accidents.
No matter how he tried to prevent others, in the end, he was the one who ended up ‘shot.’
Even he didn’t see it coming.
Just then, a sleazy-looking guy with glasses, taking advantage of the crowd, was about to harass Hua Buqi, but unknowingly, his Dragon Claw Hand ended up grabbing onto Lin Zifeng’s butt!
Even grabbing a man’s butt?
Lin Zifeng was shocked and immediately felt a rage burning wildly inside him.
Instinctively, his right leg swept out fiercely.
With a muffled groan, the sleazy guy with glasses hadn’t even had a chance to dodge before Lin Zifeng’s thigh crashed into his face.
There was a loud noise!
Silence engulfed the entire venue!
The sleazy man was thrown dozens of meters away by Lin Zifeng’s kick, launching him into the air.
He hit several fans before he finally landed, but he was already on his last breath.
Blood was coming from his mouth and nose, his ribcage was fractured, and his arm joints were shattered.
