CHAPTER 278: CHAPTER 259: CORRIDOR TURMOIL

"The former president of Famous Clan, Handsome Zhang?"

Ning Wenliang was shocked to hear such a report from a waiter, his mouth wide open in surprise.

After the initial shock, Ning Wenliang quickly regained his composure:

"Alright, I know!"

Looking at the closed door, Ning Wenliang restrained his urge to push open the door and stood outside the e-sports room.

Ning Wenliang then pointed to a man dressed in management attire and said:

"Supervisor Zhang, immediately arrange for people to guard this area to prevent anyone from disturbing them."

"Okay."

In fact, there were already over ten security guards arranged to guard various entrances before this.

But even so, Ning Wenliang still felt it wasn’t enough.

Some might think this was overcautious.

But Ning Wenliang definitely did not think so.

As a management genius, Ning Wenliang understood better than anyone the huge ’butterfly effect’ celebrity influence could have.

A phenomenon-level national online game like "Glory of the Gods," with two game ’celebrities’ present in his hotel at that moment, were no less famous than A or B-list celebrities in the entertainment industry.

Because they belonged to the Creation Mercenary Corps at the forefront in the Hua Country District!

As many people idolize them in the game, just as many are their devoted fans in real life, including Ning Wenliang himself.

Perhaps before this game came out, Ning Wenliang never imagined his idols would be a few game players.

Luckily, it was just them. If he were informed that Feng Hua was coming, Ning Wenliang would consider calling for reinforcements.

To avoid any unexpected incidents, the primary responsibility of Ning Wenliang as a manager was, of course, to be proactive and make early preparations.

Not all fans are rational.

If one or two crazy fans appeared, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Ning Wenliang’s motto was: It’s always better to prevent problems than to fix them afterwards.

Standing outside the door, Ning Wenliang thought with a headache:

When someone reports the news of these two appearing here, it’ll get lively.

"Ding!"

Just as Ning Wenliang thought this, he heard the sound of the elevator arriving on this floor.

Before Ning Wenliang could react, even before the elevator doors fully opened, he saw a group of girls with ’ferocious’ expressions rushing out, followed by screams nearly piercing the eardrums:

"Don’t fight me for it, I want a photo with Handsome Zhang!"

Watching those scrambling and crazy faces, Ning Wenliang couldn’t help but feel a tingling on his scalp and said:

"Oh my!"

"I’ll block them."

"Don’t let them come over, quick, stop them!"

If they got over here, who knows what would happen next.

Especially since a ’Glory Duel’ was happening inside.

Actually, there was no need for Ning Wenliang to speak; the narrow corridor of less than three meters was already firmly blocked by four or five security guards:

"Stop, no one is allowed to pass here."

But those excited girls couldn’t hear those words, each desperately squeezing over:

"I got here first, don’t push me!"

"Let me through, let me go over."

"We’re hotel guests, why can’t we pass here?"

Seeing that they couldn’t push away the brawny security guards, seven or eight girls blushed with anger and questioned:

"Exactly, we’re also guests here. What right do you have to stop us from passing?"

"Get out of the way, I want to see my idol. What if he leaves later?"

A little girl was even so excited that she cried and said:

"Boohoo~ I’ve followed Handsome Zhang for so many years, this is the first time I can see him in real life. Please, security brother, let us through."

...

At this moment, the elevator doors opened again, and another group of men and women rushed out, another wave following the last.

These people came out and saw such a crowd already and couldn’t help but ask:

"Why is everyone here? Where is he? Did anyone see him?"

A girl pointed at the security guards, looking aggrieved:

"The security guards won’t let us through, what can we see!"

"What?"

A man squeezed through and questioned the security guards:

"Why won’t you let us through? We’re not here to cause trouble."

Supervisor Zhang looked at these people expressionlessly and said:

"These are the orders from above; we’re just following them. Sorry."

Seeing the situation getting worse, Ning Wenliang had no choice but to step forward and say:

"Everyone, please calm down and listen to me!"

The crowd, seeing Ning Wenliang’s attire, instantly understood his identity.

The noise gradually quieted down, everyone looking at Ning Wenliang, as if waiting to see what he had to say.

Once everyone settled down, Ning Wenliang began:

"I completely understand your feelings of wanting to catch a glimpse of your idols, not just you..."

Ning Wenliang pointed to himself:

"I rushed here the moment I got the news, too."

"I also want to see the true face of the stable god and get a photo and autograph, but..."

Ning Wenliang pointed to the gaming room:

"It’s a private place inside. Even I can’t enter without permission, let alone such a large group as yourselves?"

Looking at these young people who were gradually calming down, Ning Wenliang took this opportunity to say:

"Besides, they’re currently in a Glory Duel. The last thing they need is a disturbance."

"If you all suddenly rushed inside and affected their performance, can you bear the consequences?"

"Hmm?"

At this point, those who had been extremely excited suddenly realized the impulsiveness of their actions, and one by one, bowed their heads in shame.

At this moment, a youthful and beautiful girl said:

"After the Glory Duel ends, can you at least let us see them?"

"I’ve admired him since the game Conquest Continent, and this is the first time I can see him in real life. I want a photo with him."

"Yes, please just let us see Handsome Zhang, please."

Seeing the hopeful gazes on the girls’ faces, Ning Wenliang’s heart softened and he said:

"Alright, but that’ll be after the duel ends. I’ll ask for their opinion first. You have no objections, right?"

"No objections!"

A girl squeezed to the front of Ning Wenliang, extremely excited, and said:

"Just tell him I’m his loyal fan. Handsome Zhang will definitely want to see us, hehe~"

A beautiful girl beside her proudly said:

"Handsome Zhang even replied to me on the Famous Clan forum."

"Really? You’re so lucky!"

Seeing a few girls laughing together, Ning Wenliang couldn’t help but smile.

Then Ning Wenliang spoke to a waiter, pointing at a large advertisement screen beside the corridor:

"Broadcast the duel live here."

Hearing Ning Wenliang’s words, some who were about to return to the restaurant to continue watching the match stopped one after another:

"Thank you, General Manager."

Ning Wenliang chuckled:

"Don’t laugh at me. I’m their fan, too."

"Hehe~"

At that moment, the advertisement screen flashed, showing a scene from the game.

Handsome Zhang had already arrived at Hundred Flowers Slope in the Elf Race according to the requirements.

At that moment, Handsome Zhang’s opponent, the one called Shengshi Xiaoyu, had yet to arrive.

So Handsome Zhang could only stand at Hundred Flowers Slope, holding an ancient-looking magic staff, gazing at the peaceful and beautiful scenery in the distance.

A breeze suddenly blew, lifting the colorful petals into the air, also lifting the flowing long hair on Handsome Zhang’s head.

His purple-red robe swayed gently in the wind.

Some girls, seeing this scene, exclaimed with shining eyes:

"So handsome, no wonder he’s the guy I’ve admired for so long!"

...

If the appearance of stable as a mountain just surprised everyone pleasantly;

Then the online presence of Handsome Zhang completely ignited all the passion in a group of infatuated girls ...
