Chapter 282: The Interview and The Phone Calls

Translator: TransNEditor: TransN

After looking at the mysterious studio, Lou Cheng glanced at the light and the staff. At last, his eyes fell on the host of this program.

She was in a white shirt and a black suit dress, and stood in the middle of two sofas which were put face-to-face. Her legs were very beautiful but too thin just like bamboo, which made Lou Cheng barely could watch, as if her legs would be broken off by the wind. He felt like he was looking at something very horrible.

This hostess was one of the TV celebrities that he was quite familiar with, because he often saw her when he was watching programmes with his parents. What's more important, she also took charge of the Apotheosis of Youth Fighters of the last session. He had ever watched several times, so he was impressed deeply by this beautiful and intelligent hostess.

Five years ago, Wei Ya had become a hostess in satellite TV of Xing province, then she became more and more famous, so she gradually began to host some renowned programmes. As for her age, Lou Cheng never paid attention. But clearly knew that she frequently appeared on the television this year. It seemed that her status had been quite high in this television station.

With the curiosity to the celebrity, Lou Cheng did not cover up his eyesight and he found that the present image of Wei Ya was completely different from what she had in the beginning of her career. Her long hair was raised in a high bun while she was painted with exquisite makeup which deliberately highlighted her intellectual elegance. She tried to make a style which seemed more mature but not old-fashioned.

"She looks more beautiful in reality than she was on TV, but still not so good looking as my Ke...", Lou Cheng's minds flashed as his corners of the mouth were upturned. He recalled the smiles of Yan Zheke, "My little fairy is so perfect!"

Of course, I have this feeling probably because beauty is the eyes of the beholder.

Aware of his staring, Wei Ya turned around and looked him back.

As they were looking at each other in the eyes, Lou Cheng smiled slightly and nodded to greet her with becoming modesty.

Wei Ya at first felt surprised for a moment, and then she recognized that he was today's guest, so she gently nodded as a response before she continued to communicate with the assistant.

"Mr. Lou, this is the outline of today's interview. You can look through it, so you can have a general idea in mind. You don't read to recite it, as long as you have a preliminary draft in mind. It seems more real if you make some oral mistakes or you stammer a little in the interview." Little zhao with a messy haircut gave him pieces of paper and said with a flattering smile, "In short, you can answer the questions as your wishes. You just need to determine which question you want to talk and which you don't want to say."

"Thank you." Lou Cheng accepted the outline. While he was browsing, the staff tied the black box-shaped speaker to his pants. Then they covered the speaker with his clothes. The wire of it raised up inside his clothes to the collar which at last connected the collar microphone.

After being reminded of some other issues, Lou Cheng turned off his cell phone. He stood at the debut place while he was hearing that the director conduct other staff.

After a few minutes, someone said, "Action!", and then Wei Ya stood up from the sofa. Facing the camera, she elegantly introduced the Youth Tournament of this session, "... this time, we will call the top four fighters in the Apotheosis of Fighters as The Four Heavenly Sons which means they are born to be great and will have a bright future... Let's welcome the champion of this session, the genius fighter who is only nineteen years old, 'Sky Shaking Roar'-Lou Cheng!"

Even if he has been known this nickname in advance, Lou Cheng still didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he heard the words 'Sky Shaking Roar'-Lou Cheng. He even quivered several times.

What the f*** are these people!

As judging them silently, he walked through the stages and got to the two sofas.

"Lou Cheng, it's your first time to participate in this kind of program, right?" Wei Ya led him who was a green horn with a soft attitude.

"Yes." Lou Cheng tried to calm down and behave leisurely.

This is a high-ranking program which means thousands of people can see. So if I made some embarrassing mistake, I will certainly be laughed at by Ke for a lifetime.

When I am old, I will still be laughed at because of this embarrassing moment even sitting next to the fireplace.

Wei Ya smiled, "At first, please say hello to the audience in front of the TV."

"Hello, everyone." Lou Cheng made a slight bow towards the camera.

Finishing the greeting process, both of them sat down. Wei Ya put her legs obliquely to show her delicate and mature elegance. She laughed, "Lou Cheng, I should call you student Lou. You are still a student ah... You achieved the Dan stage less than one year from you began to learn the martial art. Now you become the leader of your fighters in one province which really could be called a legend. I am curious, before the university, you had never contacted any martial arts?"

"No, I certainly knew it before. With the popularity of modern martial arts, if a person did not know anything about martial arts, he must be isolated from the society, right?" Lou Cheng answered with a smile and tried to make his words sound humorous, "but I mostly knew it from media, such as, watching matches, talking about the Mighty Ones and collecting related data. As for the systematic practice of the martial arts, Well, uh, should PE class be considered or not?"

"No, mostly not," said Wei Ya with a smile, "Since you never learned any martial arts practically before you turned eighteen years old, why do you participate in the Martial Arts Club as soon as you go to college?"

"I love the martial arts all the time. In my family, the wall is covered by the posters of several fighters of physical invulnerability. Just because I did not pass the selection before, I felt that I would never succeed in this aspect. Then I choose to focus on study and try my best to take the exams." Lou Cheng smiled.

Wei Ya understood and she said, "So, after you entered the university, the studying pressure reduces. And you also have more free time, so you join in the Martial Arts Club with the passion and love you had on the martial arts? This is the reason that you suddenly begin to learn martial arts?"

"No." Lou Cheng shook his head with a serious face.

Both joining the Martial Arts Club and beginning to learn the martial arts, of course, are because of my fairy!

"Well, then what did you want to say just now?" Wei Ya kept calm relying on the rich experience she owned.

Since it isn't the reason, then what do you mean after you said so many things about it just now!

Dude, do you know that your answer is quite irrelevant?

Lou Cheng smiled and said: "This is why I did not contact martial arts for the previous eighteen years. But the reason that I join in the martial arts club as soon as I entered the university is the other story. And about this story, I still don't want to share it with other people. "

Brother-in-law, I am so happy that you set a good example!

If I really answered the fact, this news would be spread out very quickly because the whole country could watch this programme. Although the fact that he began to learn the martial arts so that he could catch the girl he loved can be regarded as a romantic story, my father-in-law and my grandparents certainly won't think the same...

The headline would be, "The champion of the Youth Tournament of this session fought with others on the street, and was beaten black and blue by an old man of seventy years old!"

Hearing of this, Wei Ya bit her teeth tightly and felt a little crazy. She controlled her temper and asked him with a perfectly elegant smile, "Student Lou, I feel you are very humorous. Maybe after you said this, we would like to know the story more eagerly."

"Really you want me to say this story. That's okay, but does it mean anything that you would listen to some lies lasted for several minutes? Isn't this a waste of time?"Lou Cheng gradually adapted to the atmosphere of the exclusive interview, so he behaved more comfortably and easily. Of course, it also meant he showed his true colors completely.

Wei Ya could not help laughing and said, "Well, I won't ask in case that you have to make up a story now. Student Lou Cheng, with only one-year study of martial arts, you become a fighter of Professional Ninth Pin, would the situation that mind can't keep up with progressed happen to you? Because other fighters, almost begin to learn martial arts when they are about ten years old and they improve step by step, they gradually adapt to the situation that they are stronger than the majority of people around them. Also, this helps them to avoid the arrogant mentality, so they won't look down upon normal people."

"Might be a little." Lou Cheng thought for a moment and answered, "My parents are ordinary people, so are most of my other relatives and friends, so I never have any prior mentality. But, after I mastered the martial arts, my thoughts are more direct and different from the past when I am dealing with things."

"Oh, what kind of thoughts?" Wei Ya asked with interest.

Lou Cheng chuckled, "The thought is like 'nothing would fix things better than a fight' ."

Wei Ya laughed with her hands covering her mouth. It took her many efforts to stop laughing, "You are more humorous than you look."

"In the past, I was not so funny. If a person had some abilities, he might be more confident. I am that kind of person. Also with the guidance of my Friend and mentor, no, it should be with the influence of their words and deeds that I can communicate with people leisurely and easily." Lou Cheng said eloquently.

The interview also went quite smoothly. Lou Cheng didn't use so many smart words like a string of pearl and scintillating witticisms, but he showed his own style and shared some of the martial arts experience and some interesting things that could be spread.

After finishing the interview, Wei Ya stood up and offered to hold hands with Lou Cheng. She also smiled and praised,

"You have done a very good job in this interview. In your age, you can behave so well at the first time you have an exclusive interview, that's great."

"Thank you. Owing to your good guidance." Lou Cheng answered her modestly.

After chatting for a while, the staff came to take back the collar microphone and megaphone. He then turned around casually. As he was walking out of the studio, he turned up his phone and never glanced at the hostess again.

Wei Ya also paid no attention to this. Because she has interviewed a lot of people, she naturally has met all kinds of men, such as, the men who begged to ask for her phone number, the men who always looked at her sensitive parts, the men who had a habit to have affair with female stars, the men who was arrogant and strong enough to ignore her and the men who was frank and only treated her with good manner.

...

Walking out of the studio, Lou Cheng saw that a lot of missed calls and unread messages on his phone.

According to the relationship, he called them back one by one. First, he called his mother and heard her saying that they have checked out and were ready to return to Xiushan. Also, she warned him to come back home as soon as he finished those activities.

Then he called Fatty Jiang who said that because Qiu Hailin and Cao Lele have gone out for too long time, their parents felt a little worried. They also would check out this afternoon, and they would take Lou Cheng's parents back by the way.

After that, he called back to Qin Rui who asked him whether he wanted to go back home by bus.

Suddenly, words like "happy ending" and "All good things must come to an end", flashed in Lou Cheng's mind. He smiled and sighed. He told everyone that he would like to stay here wait for more than two days.

As for the other messages, most of them were sent to congratulate him.

At this moment, there was a new call. Lou Cheng readily connected it and just heard a polite voice from a girl,

"Hello, Mr. Lou Cheng, tonight there will be a celebration cocktail party at seven o'clock. You are the champion, so we hope that you can take the time to attend it. The invitation card has been sent to your hotel 's front desk."

"Well, I will attend." They just rewarded Lou Cheng six hundred thousand Yuan, so he indeed was willing to cooperate with them. What's more, he also wasn't a poser. He believed that people should respect each other.

Hanging up the phone, he suddenly remembered the scene that he as an audience watched Zhang Zhutong followed by so many cameras and went up step by step before the pre-match party.

"Things really change so fast... " Lou Cheng thought. Until then he had time to send Yan Zheke a message that he had finished and was ready to pick her up.

As he was waiting for the girl's reply, his phone rang again. This time the call was from a familiar number.

Master? Lou Cheng was shocked and inexplicably frightened.

In general, didn't I always call him? How does my Master take the initiative to call me today?

Have not I shared the good news with him last night?

"Hello, Master?" Lou Cheng connected the phone cautiously just like holding a bomb in his hand.

Geezer Shi coughed and said, "Little boy, you become more and more well-known now. Well, you go to ask for a leave recently. You need to go to Wu Yue for I have to let you know our Munekado."

Damn, my original idea is that this brat could achieve the Eighth Pin at the end of the summer break, then I coach him for another six months. Until he truly masters his ability, I will take him back to visit the fellow disciple and officially take him as my apprentice. However, he not only entered into the Dan stage within a month, but also became the champion of the Youth Tournament. He gradually was known by a lot of people which made me receive interrogatory calls in the morning.

To go to my Munekado and to visit the fellow disciples? Lou Cheng suddenly felt a little nervous.
