Chapter 1418: Chapter 1418: That Heroic Man
In the box, after Zhou Qiuyan and Lu Qianqian arrived, there was a temporary bout of liveliness.
Lu Qianqian began chatting warmly with father and daughter Qi Haomin and Qi Sixue.
Zhou Qiuyan turned to Ye Fan and Chu Mengyao, giggling brightly.
Chu Mengyao and Ye Fan were particularly polite to Chu Biyao’s celebrity friend.
"Qianqian, how come you’re here? Weren’t you overseas just a few days ago?" Qi Sixue looked at Lu Qianqian puzzled.
"Didn’t I return to the country? Just as Qiuyan was heading to Jin City for a commercial performance, I tagged along." Lu Qianqian explained, "Oh, and this is Zhou Qiuyan, the celebrity friend I mentioned to you."
"Hello." Qi Sixue looked at Zhou Qiuyan and greeted gently.
"Hello." Zhou Qiuyan responded politely, "I’ve heard Qianqian mention you, saying you’re her playmate and best friend. It’s nice to meet you."
"Same here. Once in Jin City, let’s hang out." Qi Sixue said sincerely.
"In that case, I won’t be polite. I’ll definitely interrupt." Zhou Qiuyan said with a smile.
Ye Fan looked at Zhou Qiuyan and asked, "How did you know I was here?"
"I was behind you when getting off the car and coincidentally saw you. So, after dropping off my luggage, I brought Qianqian over to visit." Zhou Qiuyan explained, "Our seats are in a neighboring box. It’s such a coincidence."
"Oh, I see." Ye Fan nodded.
"I’m not disturbing you, am I?" Zhou Qiuyan said with a smile.
"No, no need for formalities. You’re my sister’s friend, so you’re my friend too." Chu Mengyao said earnestly.
"Then I’ll take the liberty. It’s truly an honor to finally meet Huaxia’s top businesswoman." Zhou Qiuyan said sincerely, "You don’t know, Biyao often mentions you, I’ve heard it so many times."
"Not many bad things about me, I hope?" Chu Mengyao smiled lightly.
"Not exactly bad things, but she does go on a bit." Zhou Qiuyan no longer had many concerns.
Speaking of which, Lu Qianqian grew interested. After introductions revealed Ye Fan and Chu Mengyao, she looked at Zhou Qiuyan with a meaningful gaze, pointing at Ye Fan, "Qiuyan, is he the hero you said could slap a lion flying?"
The reason for following Zhou Qiuyan here was mostly curiosity to see what kind of man Zhou Qiuyan was talking about.
Originally skeptical about Zhou Qiuyan’s words, she had to wonder what kind of power Ye Fan’s seemingly ordinary build hid when Zhou Qiuyan vowed so seriously that it wasn’t an exaggeration.
Lu Qianqian looked at Ye Fan intensely, as her words sparked considerable reaction.
Chu Mengyao, Qiu Wen, and Du Xueqi kept their composure, only smiling lightly without much reaction.
Chu Mengyao had long been aware of the behind-the-scenes matters but had just not brought it up.
"A slap sending a lion flying? What nonsense." Qi Haomin showed a surprised expression, secretly giving Lu Qianqian a warning look; such words shouldn’t be repeated lest they embarrass Ye Fan.
"A slap sending a lion flying? Was it a lion model or a lion toy?" Qi Sixue giggled merrily, "If that’s the case, I could do it too, I could blow over a skyscraper model with a light breath."
Seeing his daughter’s lightheartedness, Qi Haomin hastily apologized, "Mr. Ye, children don’t understand, please don’t mind."
He hoped Lu Qianqian and Qi Sixue’s indiscreet words wouldn’t leave Ye Fan in a tough spot.
"It’s fine." Ye Fan said with indifference.
"Mr. Ye, please forgive my gossiping heart, your exciting past got me carried away." Zhou Qiuyan said.
"No problem, no need to hold back, just say whatever you want." Ye Fan said casually.
"Mr. Ye, did you really slap a lion flying?" Qi Sixue was stunned, hearing some indication in the words, she asked shocked, "Are we talking about a scary real lion, not some cute toy lion?"
Zhou Qiuyan was full of shock, "Not long ago, Mr. Ye was with our crew when a beast tamer’s lion became angry and out of control. The scene was chaotic, almost resulting in injuries. At a crucial moment, Mr. Ye took the lead and sent that lion flying with a slap. When the lion tried to get up in fury, Mr. Ye approached, about to strike again. Guess what happened next? The fierce lion actually knelt down, cowering tremblingly on the ground; it couldn’t be more shocking. This incident stunned the whole crew; Mr. Ye became a god-like figure in the crew."
Lu Qianqian, Qi Sixue, and Qi Haomin all believed the story.
There was no reason to lie about such things.
Besides, no one would be bored enough to make things up out of such an exaggerated story.
"Mr. Ye is truly a genius; in the past we had Wu Song fighting the tiger, now we have Mr. Ye slapping the lion, it’s really admirable." Qi Haomin showed great respect.
"Incredible, truly incredible." Qi Sixue was speechless.
"I really couldn’t imagine the astonishing power hidden under Mr. Ye’s seemingly thin physique." Lu Qianqian was full of admiration; not knowing Ye Fan and Chu Mengyao well, she couldn’t hide her inner shock.
"It was a casual act, just bringing an angry lion under control. Even if it were a wild lion in the forest, it would be manageable." Ye Fan said calmly, "Not only could I do it, but so could she and her. It’s an extremely ordinary matter, nothing to make a fuss over."
Ye Fan said this while gesturing to Qiu Wen and Du Xueqi.
"So the two young ladies are also masters, an old fool like me didn’t realize it, I apologize." Qi Haomin spoke respectfully, looking at the two beautiful ladies who were actually experts with a reverent glance.
He understood a puzzling truth in his mind, "No wonder Mr. Fu thinks so highly of Mr. Ye and President Chu, it’s clear now."
"Miss Du, aren’t you President Chu’s secretary? Are you also skilled? Do you also serve as a bodyguard sometimes? And Miss Qiu, you’re really exceptionally skilled, it’s truly admirable." Qi Sixue was speechless.
"No wonder Mr. Ye and President Chu have no ordinary people around them." Zhou Qiuyan sighed.
"Really that skilled? Such experts my father couldn’t attract." Lu Qianqian was full of amazement, feeling no need for doubt, just being awed by Ye Fan, Chu Mengyao, and others.
Qiu Wen and Du Xueqi responded with smiles to the polite flattery from the others, taking it lightly.
