Han Jun was standing there with the edges of his mouth twitching. There was an indescribable displeasure that he was feeling. He felt as if he had been scorned.
He was a big celebrity. But now, his spotlight had completely been snatched away.
When he looked at the ten over excited fans, he had an urge to beat them up.
At that moment, the person-in-charge of the airport order saw the situation and yelled, “What are you all doing? Didn’t I tell you to maintain the order? What are you standing there for?”
“Director, that’s Han Jun but there are only a few people receiving him. We don’t even know what to do,” a security guard said helplessly.
Initially, they had already prepared themselves to get scratched and pushed by those maniacal fans. But now, they didn’t even have to do anything.
The director was startled. Without caring about who the celebrity was, he pointed into the distance and shouted, “Can’t you see that there are so many people there? Hurry up and get over there now!”
“Yes, yes.” When the security guards heard that, they quickly went over to help.
As the director looked at the situation, he said, “Who was the one who called me just now?”
Han Jun’s manager stood out. “I called you.”
The director looked at her and said in an unpleasant tone, “I hope you’ll be clearer of the situation in the future. Our airport security is very busy. Our manpower is limited. Please don’t take us as a joke. Making such a big deal over a few fans. Sigh…”
He shook his head and didn’t want to say more. Then, he just left.
Hearing those words, Han Jun’s breathing became difficult. He felt as if he had been slapped on both sides of his face.
When Scholar Ma and the rest came out from the airport, they were stunned by the noise.
He stood rooted to the ground motionlessly. It was as if he didn’t understand what was going on. Then, he looked at the two security guards next to him as if to ask them what was going on.
The man with the surname Cui went forward. “Scholar Ma, welcome back.”
“Lil’ Cui, what’s this?” Scholar Ma looked at the situation in confusion. He was at a loss.
After researching for his whole life, he had never received such a welcome before.
“Scholar Ma, this is Master Lin.” Lil’ Cui was a little dazed as well. He hadn’t expected such a situation either.
At this moment, Scholar Ma was even more popular than a superstar.
But he felt that this was really pretty good.
Scholar Ma was already old. He was past seventy and soon to be eighty. He had never had such a grand welcoming in his life. He had always been very low-key.
Lin Fan approached Scholar Ma and extended his hand. Then, he smiled. “Hello, Scholar Ma.”
“Oh, youngster, I remember you.” Scholar Ma looked at Lin Fan closely, then recalled. “I’ve seen your drawing in the museum before. It was brilliantly drawn. I still remember it even now.”
“Haha,” Lin Fan laughed. “Thank you for the praise but it’s nothing much.”
“You can’t be too humble. There’s no way our museum would display anything bad. If it can be displayed in the museum, it has been acknowledged,” said Scholar Ma with a laugh. He felt that he didn’t deserve so many people coming to receive him.
But as for such a cultured young man like Lin Fan, he liked him very much.
Then, Lin Fan looked at the time. Oh no. It’s getting late. I have to hurry off.
But there are still so many people here. If I don’t interact with them a little, wouldn’t it upset them? Then, he shouted, “Everyone, I’m rushing for a flight. Let’s take a group photo together. When you have the time, you can go to my Weibo to download it and see where I am. Is that alright?”
“Alright. We can finally take a group photo with Master Lin!”
“This is fantastic!”
Lin Fan passed his phone to a security guard, then stood in front of the group of them. “Those who are in front, let’s squat down so that those behind won’t be blocked.”
When the townsfolk heard this, they didn’t hesitate before doing as he said.
“Say cheese.”
*Kacha*
After taking the photo, the security guard passed the phone back to Master Lin.
Meanwhile, the reporters behind clamored, “Excuse us! Let us go in to interview Master Lin.”
These reporters were Beijing reporters. Usually, they wouldn’t be able to go to Shanghai to interview Master Lin. Whenever something happened, it would be the Shanghai reporters who would report it.
Now that Master Lin had come to the Beijing airport, naturally, they wanted to interview him. However, there were way too many people here and they couldn’t get close at all.
Lin Fan looked at the time. It was almost time to board. “I’m sorry, my reporter comrades. It’s almost time to board. Next time, I’ll come to Beijing again when I have the chance and I’ll inform you all again.”
“And thank you, everyone. I’m going to go now. I’ll upload the photo to my Weibo later. Follow my Weibo and download it.”
After saying that, Lin Fan hurried to get his ticket checked. If he were to be late, he wouldn’t be able to leave.
“Have a safe trip, Master Lin!”
“Come to Beijing to play when you have the chance. We will always welcome you.”
“Ah, if it wasn’t for Master Lin today, I really wouldn’t know that Scholar Ma exists. These people are much more amazing than those celebrities.”
Very soon, Lin Fan’s back view disappeared.
Meanwhile, these people didn’t leave immediately. Instead, they started chatting amongst themselves. One of them shouted, “Everyone, would you like to create a WeChat group to chat in the future?”
“After this incident, I feel like we should pay more attention to some things. This Scholar Ma is an old scientist but look. There was no one here to welcome him. How sad is that?”
“Yeah. I feel that that’s a good idea. Although we don’t have to be here for every person’s flight, we can buy some flowers or something when we have the time to come and welcome some people home.”
“Mmm. That’s a very good idea. But we don’t even know when there will be people coming.”
At that moment, a reporter shouted. “Add me into the group. I follow such events. When there are people coming, I will notify you all.”
When the crowd heard this, they instantly smiled.
“That’s great. Alright. Everyone, let’s create a group now. I’ll add you all in. Come and scan my QR code.”
At that moment, a group of them gathered together as they scanned each other’s QR codes.
Meanwhile, Han Jun and his manager, together with their twenty security guards, had left dejectedly long ago.
To Han Jun, this time, he had really been embarrassed big time. As for tomorrow’s news, he wouldn’t dare to read it.
Nighttime.
Shanghai airport.
Lin Fan let out a deep breath, then breathed in the air. Finally, he had returned. Then, his phone rang.
Wang Ming Yang: “Are you back yet?”
“I’m back, I’m back. I’m at the airport now. I’ll drive over. What’s the hurry?” said Lin Fan.
“Hurry up. I’m just waiting for you. Tonight, we won’t go home until we’re drunk,” said Wang Ming Yang with a laugh.
“I’m coming. Don’t rush me.” Lin Fan went to get his car. Regarding what had happened at the Beijing airport, he felt that it was quite meaningful. Casually doing something like that actually felt pretty good.
But I didn’t offend that celebrity, did I? He didn’t come and engage in a conflict with me after all.
