My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 102: Who Gave You the Authority?

Scientists lead society forward and soldiers protect its safety, but ultimately, it’s the celebrities who receive all the glory.

He actually felt quite resentful about that. He had no interest in celebrities at all. Even their minor domestic issues could occupy a huge amount of media resources, burying truly newsworthy reports. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

「The next day」

He had thought Ye Qianqian would be downcast due to the previous day’s events, but surprisingly, the girl acted as if nothing had happened. She got out of bed brimming with energy and was already waiting for Yang Qi outside. She announced she was going to intern at Qifei Group and wanted to go with him. Yang Qi had no choice but to agree. Thankfully, Ye Fei was there, otherwise it would have been quite awkward.

When they arrived at the street where Qifei Group was located, they realized something was wrong. The entire road had been blocked off. A large crowd had gathered, with people holding glow sticks and wearing clothing bearing the names of celebrities like Lin Zhan and Bai Yumei. They were all desperately trying to push their way through.

"Wow, the second most handsome guy in the world is here!" Ye Qianqian exclaimed, thrilled. "I had no idea they would have an event on this street today."

The three of them had no choice but to get out of the car, as they couldn’t drive through. Ye Fei parked in a roadside spot, and they squeezed through the crowd. Only then did they notice stone bollards blocking the road. Several tall, burly security guards stood there, preventing anyone from passing.

Some Qifei Group employees were arguing with the guards. If they didn’t get through soon, they would be late for work. Staff from other companies were there as well, all complaining endlessly.

Yang Qi was speechless. This celebrity fanfare was way over the top. Hold your event, fine, but was it necessary to block off the entire street? How are people supposed to get to work? The fans, however, seemed to find nothing wrong with it. It was as if they’d been brainwashed, shouting frantically. The noise was giving him a headache. What is all this madness? They’re all insane!

"Sorry, this area is sealed off. You can’t pass through here."

When Yang Qi and the others reached the blockade, they were stopped as well. Seeing Ye Fei, several Qifei Group employees began to complain, "President Ye, if this continues, we’ll all be late! This is going to delay so much work."

Ye Fei addressed the security guards. "Our company is on this street. If you don’t let us through, how are we supposed to get to work?"

"Sorry, that’s not our concern. We’re just tasked with blocking the road. None of you can enter until the two celebrities leave. This is for their safety," the security guard argued staunchly.

"Just two lousy celebrities! What right do they have to do this?" Yang Qi was getting angry.

"Exactly!" someone in the crowd shouted. "They really think they’re something special. Even if City Lord Zhao himself came, he wouldn’t allow a blockade like this. They have such an inflated sense of self-importance." The surrounding people all started to chime in with curses.

"Whatever you say is useless. You can’t enter, and that’s final," the security guards said coldly, completely unwilling to reason.

"I don’t believe you. Who dares to stop me today?" Yang Qi wasn’t about to put up with these people and simply stepped over the stone bollards and red line.

"Stop right there!"

A group of security guards swarmed him, looking fierce and intimidating. They were even holding stun batons, ready to resort to violence at the slightest provocation.

"I’m just trying to get to work. What are you all so nervous about?" Yang Qi frowned.

A tall, stout man who appeared to be the head of security said coldly, "Get back. I don’t care what you’re doing, back off right now, or don’t blame us for being rude. The people who came today are top-tier celebrities. If anything were to happen to them, you couldn’t bear the consequences. Now, scram!"

Yang Qi sneered, "This is a public road, not some celebrity’s home or private property. What right do you have to stop us?"

"Cut the crap. If we say you can’t pass, you can’t pass," the security head retorted.

"How dare you monopolize public resources like this and still think you’re in the right?" Ye Fei shouted. "What’s so great about celebrities? What gives them the right to enjoy such privileges?"

"Exactly! They’re human, and so are we. Do they have an extra head or something?" a person in the crowd added. Everyone was growing impatient. It was almost nine o’clock, and many were already late because this group had blocked all the entrances, making it impossible to get in.

"Heh, let me tell you the truth," the security head said, a smirk on his face as if he himself were a superior being. "Celebrities *do* have privileges. If you don’t like it, suck it up. They make tens of millions in a matter of minutes and pay far more taxes than you. That’s privilege. What are you paupers screaming about? We’re not saying you can never pass. Just wait. Once the celebrities leave, you can go."

"I’m going through today. What are you going to do about it?" Yang Qi said coldly.

"You can try. I’ll beat you so badly you’ll be looking for your teeth on the ground!"

These were clearly not ordinary security guards. Each one was well-trained, and some were even Martial Artists. The security head, for instance, was a Martial Artist at the Perfection of Outer Strength. Although he was nothing in front of Yang Qi, to an ordinary person, he was an insurmountable peak. At that moment, a hundred security guards were staring daggers at Yang Qi, waving their stun batons menacingly.

Yang Qi was about to make a move, but Ye Fei stopped him. "Don’t. There are too many people here. Besides, if you get into a fight involving celebrities, it won’t end well for you. Let’s find another way."

Yang Qi took a deep breath. "Fine. I’ll find someone who can deal with you."

He immediately took out his phone and dialed a number. "City Lord Zhao," he said, "someone has arbitrarily blocked the road to our company. I’ll leave it to you to resolve this."

Sometimes, knowing these influential people was quite useful. It was tricky to deal with people like this physically, but City Lord Zhao would definitely have a way.

Seeing Yang Qi actually call someone he called "City Lord Zhao" with such a commanding tone, the security guards laughed.

Is this guy out of his mind? Who is City Lord Zhao? Why would he listen to you? Who do you think you are, that the City Lord takes orders from you?

The commotion caught the attention of Manager Liu. She was the agent for both Lin Zhan and Bai Yumei and had already made a fortune off the two of them. A well-known figure in the industry, she was definitely considered a top-tier agent.

She had arranged this blockade herself because Bai Yumei needed to see the Divine Doctor here for a consultation, and she couldn’t allow any paparazzi to sneak in. To ensure nothing went wrong, she had directly contacted the Qin Family to seal off the area completely, not allowing anyone in—not even for work.

Manager Liu glanced at Yang Qi and said coldly, "What’s all this noise? Can’t you see this area is blocked off?"

Yang Qi responded just as coldly, "What right do you have to block this place off? Who gave you the authority?"

Faced with Yang Qi’s question, Manager Liu was genuinely taken aback.

Authority? Who gave her authority? Did she need someone to give it to her? They had always done things this way.
