Chapter 961: Chapter 339: Has-Been Korean Stars (Part 4)

However, things didn’t develop as they expected.

Those passersby didn’t run up to them but instead ran to surround Yang Chen.

"You’re that online ride-sharing driver who acted in ’Lost and Lonely’ with the King of Heaven Liu, right?"

"It must be him! There’s absolutely no mistake!"

"Your name is Yang Chen, right?"

"You acted so naturally, have you studied acting?"

...

Faced with the questions from the passersby, Yang Chen was completely baffled.

It took him a few seconds to come to his senses.

"You’ve all watched ’Lost and Lonely’? How did you find it?" Yang Chen asked with a smile.

"Yes! I watched it with tears in my eyes!"

"It was filmed so well! But, I heard the ending was changed; in reality, the child was found but was crippled by bad people. Is it true?"

"I heard you played yourself, is that so?"

...

Yang Chen had a great time chatting with the passersby, which made Lee Soo-jung and Han Zaixiu very embarrassed.

The two of them used to be members of a very popular group, with Lee Soo-jung as the face.

Now they’re in Dragon Country, and not a single fan showed up to greet them. It’s so humiliating.

No fans are here, so what’s the point of having over ten security guards protecting them?

What’s worse is, a few young people at the side raised a soul-searching question.

"Who are these two women? Making such a big fuss, I thought they were some celebrities."

"They look a bit familiar, but I can’t recall who they are."

"Haha... I’m dying of laughter, no fans, yet they have so many security guards protecting them. Do they have some misunderstanding about their own popularity?"

"They shouldn’t be any celebrities, right? Even a cameo movie ride-sharing driver has more fans than they do."

"Look at how many people are surrounding that ride-sharing driver, these two really don’t have a single fan. At least spend some money to hire a few professional fans for the scene, this is just too embarrassing."

...

It’s not surprising that the duo, who were wildly popular over a decade ago, aren’t recognized by many of today’s youngsters.

The sisters felt very embarrassed, just wanting to get out of there quickly.

Lee Soo-jung said, "Let’s go! Hurry up!"

The security guard shouted, "Make way at the front!"

This guard seemed unaware of the situation, acting as if escorting a washed-up star was something to be proud of, with a look of pride on his face, shouting so loudly that it irritated everyone.

Not only Yang Chen, even a regular person would feel uncomfortable being yelled at to make way.

Ordinary people might be afraid of causing trouble, so they would obediently step aside.

But Yang Chen wasn’t afraid of causing trouble, and firmly refused to step aside.

"Isn’t there space on the side? You can pass if you walk at the side, I’m already staying to the side, why should I give way?" Yang Chen asked.

Security guard: "Can’t you see the celebrity from Korea? Hurry up and clear the path, don’t hold things up. We need to get her safely into the car! There are so many of you blocking the way, can’t you see?"

Yang Chen: "Are you kidding? There’s plenty of room on the side, just make your circle a little smaller and you can pass, why do you want me to give way where there’s no room? Whether you choose to pass or not, I’m not moving."

At this moment, Lee Soo-jung spoke in Korean, saying: "This person is so annoying! Quickly push him aside! I want to go back to the hotel to rest; I have to record a program tonight!"

The guards indeed followed orders and started to drive away the passersby chatting with Yang Chen about the movie.

Then, Yang Chen’s bodyguards rushed over and pushed away Lee Soo-jung’s security guards.

Those guards immediately cowered at the sight of five strongmen standing in their way.

Yang Chen: "Everyone, thank you for supporting ’Lost and Lonely,’ please help spread the word! I have business to take care of, I must leave now. Thank you all."

With this, Yang Chen left, with his bodyguards close behind.

The passersby were stunned.

"Whoa, is he really an online ride-sharing driver?"

"Wow, isn’t he a bit too pretentious? Just a bit part actor and already has bodyguards?"

"Haha... He’s really getting cocky!"

...

The group arrived at the parking lot.

Yang Chen got in the car and left, going back to the hotel to catch up on sleep.

Lee Soo-jung and Han Zaixiu arrived at their hotel room.

The two of them immediately started angrily berating their domestic agency and the staff from the ’Sisters’ program.

Lee Soo-jung: "Why didn’t you arrange for fans to greet us? It’s so embarrassing! So many security guards protect us, but not a single fan to welcome us!"

Han Zaixiu: "I’ve never suffered such a great insult, being told right to my face that our popularity is lower than that of a ride-sharing driver."

Lee Soo-jung: "Exactly! That ride-sharing driver was so detestable, I hate him! You must immediately teach him a lesson, get him fired by the company, he shouldn’t be allowed to drive online ride-shares anymore. If you can’t do that, then I’m not going to participate in the program recording."
