Chapter 1657: Chenchen gets into a fight!
Translator: Legge Editor: Legge
In the morning.
At Sister Lan’s gym.
Zhang Ye was here again today. His main purpose in coming to the gym was to lose some fat and bulk up. After the movie was done filming, he had begun to neglect his training. As his wife’s cooking was so good, he would always have a huge appetite whenever he ate at home. His abs were almost gone, so he thought of working out to make his muscles larger and more defined again before the show started filming. There would surely be scenes in the show where he would not be wearing any clothes, so he was doing this to make sure that he would appear nicer on television and hopefully boost the ratings a little.
Bench presses.
Squats.
Lat pulldowns.
Cardio.
After he was finished the whole set of exercises, he wasn’t even sweating all that much.
Coach Zheng and the other trainers who were standing nearby were looking at him as though he were some kind of god. No one dared to give Zhang Ye any advice or offer him any guidance because they knew that he much fitter than they were. Even if all of them were to join forces, they would probably still not match up to Zhang Ye in terms of fitness.
At this moment, Ha Qiqi called.
Zhang Ye answered: “Sister Ha, have you found someone?”
Ha Qiqi said: “Not yet, the requirements for the camera operator are set too high. The ones that I’d managed to find were already some of the more outstanding ones in China.”
Zhang Ye shook his head. “Those few definitely won’t do. If they don’t have any experience surviving in the wilderness, or if they haven’t attempted skydiving before, how could they handle being my dedicated videographer? How are we supposed to film the aerial scenes? What about when we get into a situation that requires me to rock climb? Even though I can take a camera with me and film myself, such angles would only work once or twice in an episode. Surely I can’t be doing that throughout the show, right? This is why having a dedicated videographer is very important. He’s going to be more important than anyone else in the film crew, so I have to find a professional no matter what. Keep looking. Go and ask around in the circle and see if there are good ones somewhere.”
Ha Qiqi said: “Alright, I’ll continue asking.”
Zhang Ye said: “Hurry, there isn’t much time left.”
Ha Qiqi said: “Understood.”
Central TV’s preparations were more or less completed, while his own matters were mostly settled as well. It was only the issue of the dedicated videographer that was still up in the air, so he couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.
Suddenly, another phone call arrived.
It was from his mother.
Zhang Ye picked it up. “Mom, I’m working out at the gym. What is it?”
His mother immediately said: “Chenchen got into a fight in school!”
“Ah?” Zhang Ye was dumbfounded. “Who did she fight?”
His mother sounded very anxious. “She beat up a male classmate. Her form teacher has called to ask for her guardian to head down to the school right now. The boy’s father is at the school as well and refuses to drop the issue, so run on over!”
Zhang Ye said: “Alright, alright, don’t worry, I’ll go over right away!”
His mother said angrily: “You few are always making me worry!”
Zhang Ye didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “She’s the one who got into a fight. What does it have to do with me?”
“Isn’t it all because she learned it from you!” his mother harrumphed.
After hanging up, Zhang Ye drove over to the middle school Chenchen studied at.
…
At a school.
In a middle school class.
It was extremely chaotic in the classroom that was packed full of people!
A tanned man who looked very strong stood there refusing to leave. He was so angry he was blue in the face. “Get your parents here immediately! Immediately! Let me tell you, this isn’t over!”
Chenchen curled her lips. “Hur hur.”
The form teacher hurriedly said, “Mengmeng’s dad, everything can be worked out.”
Several nearby teachers were also trying to persuade him. “That’s right, everything can be worked out if we talk through it.”
Sun Kuang spat out, “No, this will not be worked out through talking! How did they educate their child? Huh? Such a young child, and such a young girl at that, and they actually taught her martial arts? And it’s even the highly lethal Eight Trigrams Palm? How can her parents be so inconsiderate! I must teach them a lesson today!”
Chenchen snorted and looked up at him.
Her classmates and the other teachers looked at Chenchen in confusion.
Martial arts?
Eight Trigrams Palm?
How could a child like that possibly know martial arts?
Actually, the incident in class today had given the students and teacher a bad scare. It wasn’t such a big deal at the beginning, and Sun Xiaomeng and Chenchen were both classmates. During the break, Sun Xiaomeng, who was a rather mischievous child, had pranked a female classmate. He stuffed a caterpillar into her pencil case and frightened the female classmate so badly she burst into tears. But Sun Xiaomeng was still not done. He continued running around with the caterpillar and scaring the girls in the class to the point of crying. In the end, Chenchen banged on a table and stood up, then gave Sun Xiaomeng a beating right in front of their shocked classmates. When the teacher arrived, she was also dumbfounded by this scene. A petite girl chasing after a plump boy wanting to beat him up—can you even imagine a scene like that? Only then did they realize that this little girl who didn’t mix well with the class was actually so fearsome!
Sun Kuang roared, “Why aren’t your parents here yet?”
His son, Sun Xiaomeng, had a bruised face and tugged at his dad, whispering, “Dad, forget it. We were just playing.”
Sun Kuang said furiously, “You rascal, would your face be all bruised if it was just playing? Would it? And what’s this? You’re so big, yet you couldn’t even beat a girl? You refused to learn the Eight Extremities Fist when you were young, so look at what’s happened now. You’re getting stepped on!”
Chenchen narrowed her eyes. “You practice the Eight Extremities Fist 1 ?”
Sun Kuang sneered. “Don’t think that you can act all arrogant just because you have a grandmaster in your Eight Trigrams branch of martial arts. I just want to know what kind of people your parents are.”
The teachers all knew that something big was about to happen.
After his child was beaten up, this parent was looking to get revenge on the other party’s parents!
Listening to what had been said, these two families were even trained in martial arts? If they were to start fighting, would someone end up dying?
The form teacher said in panic, “What do we do?”
The language teacher said, “Call the police!”
The math teacher wiped at her sweat. “Something bad is gonna happen!”
Sun Kuang shouted, “I’m gonna teach your parents a lesson today on how to be a person!”
At this moment, a young man wearing sunglasses appeared at the entrance of the classroom.
He said, “Hey, who wants to teach me a lesson on how to be a person!”
The protagonist had arrived!
Everyone lost their wits!
“It’s Chenchen’s parent!”
“You, go back first!”
“Hold him back!”
A few teachers hurriedly tried to protect Chenchen’s parent, but they were still a step too late.
Sun Kuang stared hard at him, and without saying anything further, threw a punch out. “Watch my punch!”
In the end, the young man wearing sunglasses blocked the attack head-on. His wrist lowered as he swiftly struck back with it.
After a single move, the young man wearing sunglasses did not move his feet in the slightest.
Instead, Sun Kuang had been thrown back three steps.
The young man wearing sunglasses said in amusement, “The Eight Extremities Fist?”
Sun Kuang’s eyes widened as he pointed at him in shock. “Damn! It’s the Taiji Fist! You’re—you’re—” He instantly knew who it was. Immediately, he thought of something else and nearly wanted to vomit out a mouthful of blood. He turned and stared at Chenchen. “Eight Trigrams Palm? Christ! Y-You’re the child from Rao Aimin’s family!
Chenchen chuckled, “Hur hur.”
Sun Xiaomeng said in panic, “Dad, are you OK?”
Sun Kuang felt like crying. He had never wanted to cry this badly before in his entire life!
Zhang Ye!
Rao Aimin!
As a member of the Chinese martial arts world, and as someone with a rather high rank in the Eight Extremities Fist branch of martial arts, others might not know what those two names represented to the martial arts world, but how could he not know? One was a female hooligan who had dominated China’s martial arts world for decades. The other was a hooligan who had single-handedly swept aside more than a dozen large sects. They were the ones who ran rampant in China’s martial arts world, and anyone who saw them would want to stay as far away from them as possible!
What the hell!
How did I manage to provoke those two hooligans!
The atmosphere got a little awkward.
Zhang Ye asked, “Would you like to go on?”
Go on, your sister!
Sun Kuang waved his hand and said, “Forget it, forget it. I’ve already thought it through. We should let the children handle their own matters. As parents, we shouldn’t interfere with their affairs. Moreover, this is a school, a sacred place, so we should listen to teachers and not just do anything rash.”
The students jeered, “Boo!”
The teachers rolled their eyes. That wasn’t what you said earlier!
But even if they were fools, they could also tell that Mengmeng’s parent was not a match for Chenchen’s parent!
Zhang Ye walked over to Chenchen. “What happened?”
Chenchen pointed at the little fatty. “He used a caterpillar to scare others.”
Zhang Ye stared at her. “That doesn’t mean you can beat up others. You’re getting bold, aren’t you?”
Chenchen said, “It’s not like I used my full strength.”
Zhang Ye said angrily, “That still won’t do.”
Chenchen curled her lips. “OK, got it.”
When Sun Xiaomeng heard that, he trembled a little.
Sun Kuang was also chiding his son. “Don’t bully girls in school again in the future! Do you hear me!”
Sun Xiaomeng said submissively, “I understand, Dad.”
The matter was finally resolved. Both parties shook hands and made peace.
Seeing this, the teachers heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately for them, nothing major happened.
However, the students in the class could no longer sit still. They immediately surrounded Chenchen, talking back and forth excitedly.
“Chenchen, you’re so impressive!”
“You’re really fearsome!”
“Even a boy can’t beat you?”
“How did you learn that?”
“Chenchen, teach me!”
“Chenchen, your dad is very impressive as well. Is he some sort of a martial arts expert? Ah? He’s not your dad? But anyway, I feel that he looks a little like some superstar celebrity.”
…
In the teachers’ office.
Zhang Ye and Sun Kuang were both called over. The form teacher lectured, “Earlier on in class, I didn’t want to criticize the two of you in the presence of the students. As parents, you two were too incorrigible! Chenchen’s parent, why do you still have your sunglasses on? Can’t you give a little respect to a teacher?”
“Hai, I forgot.” Zhang Ye took off his sunglasses.
As a result, the form teacher was stunned by what she saw. She screamed, “Zhang Ye?!”
Zhang Ye said, “I didn’t discipline the child properly and caused trouble for you.”
The form teacher hurriedly said, “It’s not troublesome, not troublesome at all.”
The teachers next to her were also stunned. Then they exclaimed and came over to look!
“It’s Zhang Ye!”
“It’s really him!”
“Heavens! I’ve finally seen him in person!”
The teachers were all very surprised.
The form teacher suddenly felt that her reaction didn’t look so elegant, so she put on a straight face again on purpose. “Of the two of you, one of you is an international superstar, while the other is a famous domestic cameraman. You’re both persons of status, so please pay more attention to your children’s education in the future. You can’t slack off or spoil them, understand?”
Sun Kuang said, “Understood, Teacher.”
Zhang Ye said, “Blame it on us, blame it on us.”
The form teacher nodded in satisfaction and took out two pieces of paper. “Sign your names here and leave your contact numbers. If your children cause trouble again in the future, I’ll look for you two.”
Zhang Ye signed his name and then handed the pen to Sun Kuang.
Sun Kuang was also about to sign, but the ballpoint point happened to run out of ink. “Teacher, do you have another pen?”
He watched the form teacher carefully stow away the piece of paper with Zhang Ye’s signature and cell phone number on it. She put it into the drawer like it was a collector’s item. When she heard Sun Kuang’s request for another pen, she waved it off. “Oh, never mind, I don’t need yours.”
Sun Kuang was floored.
What do you mean you don’t need mine!
…
Outside the school.
The two of them were walking side by side.
Sun Kuang didn’t continue making a big fuss. He gave a fist and palm salute. “Master Zhang, sorry if I’ve offended you today.”
Zhang Ye smiled and said, “Master Sun, please don’t stand on ceremony. After all, friendship grows out of an exchange of blows. We were just doing it for our children.”
Sun Kuang felt the same way. “Hai, the children these days are really too worrisome. Alright then, let’s meet again if there is a chance. I’ll be off now.”
“Master Sun, please wait.” Zhang Ye held out a hand to stop him.
Sun Kuang was startled. “Master Zhang, is anything else the matter?”
Zhang Ye looked at him and asked, “You’re a cameraman?”
Sun Kuang smiled and said, “That’s right. Not that I wanna brag, but I’m quite well-known in China. Many of my works have won gold medal awards in cinematography. I’ve also won prizes overseas too.”
Zhang Ye asked with interest, “How are your martial arts skills?”
Sun Kuang was slightly embarrassed. “In front of Master Zhang, I definitely would not dare to claim that I’m very skilled. But ordinarily, not even three to five well-built men could get near me.”
Zhang Ye blinked. “Do you have any experience in wilderness survival?”
“Yeah, I do.” Sun Kuang could not understand why he was being asked such questions. “The subjects that I usually shoot are things to do with nature, plants, insects, sunrises, and sunsets. In order to capture a shot, I sometimes have to wait up to a day or two. Of course I can’t stay at a hotel. I have to set up a tent and camp outside. Mountaineering has become a standard affair to me. I’m not bragging, but I’ve scaled Everest twice already.”
Zhang Ye said excitedly, “Do you know how to skydive?”
Sun Kuang said, “Yeah, I know that.”
Zhang Ye asked, “How about diving?”
Sun Kuang said, “For an underwater project that I did, I spent half a year to get a diving certification.”
Zhang Ye asked, “How about rock climbing?”
Sun Kuang said, “I might not be able to free solo, but I’m fine with ropes and protective gear.”
Zhang Ye got even more excited the more he listened.
But Sun Kuang was extremely confused. “Why are you asking all this?”
Zhang Ye smiled and said, “I’m planning to make a show and need a dedicated videographer with me. I haven’t been able to find anyone up to the task, so I wonder if Master Sun would be interested?”
Sun Kuang was surprised. “You want to hire me?”
Zhang Ye nodded. “Yes.”
Sun Kuang said, “When does filming begin?”
Zhang Ye replied, “Immediately!”
