122: Chapter 122 Showdown

The more she asked, the angrier she became. She grabbed Wang Anquan's collar with her left hand and slapped him hard across the face with her right.

"Then why the hell are you still soliciting prostitutes?!"

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

"I'll let you solicit... solicit... solicit..."

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

A flurry of slaps rained down.

Wang Anquan didn't dare to say another word, kneeling perfectly straight.

He silently endured it.

Tian Jun was stunned by this scene.

He had originally been thinking about how to lecture Wang Anquan, but now it seemed unnecessary.

Zhang Yuqi had already taught him a profound enough lesson.

If he still didn't rein himself in after this, then there was nothing more to be done.

If he were caught again next time, it wouldn't be as simple as a fine; he would definitely face administrative punishment.

Zhang Yuqi got tired of hitting him. After swiftly paying the fine, she roared at Wang Anquan.

"Aren't you leaving? Do you want to stay here for dinner?"

Then she thanked Tian Jun and turned to leave. Wang Anquan quickly scurried after her.

Meanwhile.

Chen Shaoping had already arrived at the "Right Bank Coffee Shop" where he had agreed to meet Lu Han.

Even before he entered, he saw Lu Han already seated inside through the glass.

Chen Shaoping had reason to believe that Lu Han was already at this coffee shop when he called him.

After all, according to the system's intelligence, it would take time for Lu Han to arrange for the filming crew.

On the surface, Chen Shaoping remained calm, his eyes sweeping over the situation in the coffee shop several times.

Around Lu Han's seat, there were people everywhere.

Not too far, not too close, convenient for filming, and not easy for him to spot anything amiss.

Some of these people were a man and a woman, others were alone.

As Chen Shaoping entered the coffee shop, he could accurately sense that everyone's gaze in the coffee shop swept over him.

"Teacher Lu Han, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"I haven't waited long." Lu Han stood up, smiling, looked at his watch, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Listening to music in this coffee shop, I didn't realize how fast time passed. I've already been waiting here for forty minutes."

Chen Shaoping secretly scoffed. If he didn't know Lu Han's true intentions, he might have actually been fooled by this act.

Why are these top celebrities such good actors in private, but when they actually act, it's a complete mess?

He took out his phone and looked at it, deliberately waving it slowly in front of the camera. "Teacher Lu Han, I remember we agreed to meet at ten, and it's only 9:55 now. I'm right on time."

"Yes, yes, Young Master Ping, please come this way." Lu Han stepped aside and made a 'please' gesture with his hand.

"Thank you!"

After they sat down, Chen Shaoping noticed that someone was already filming him with a phone.

Chen Shaoping inwardly complained: So eager? Not professional at all.

He swept his gaze across the room with a half-smile, finally landing on Lu Han.

"There are quite a lot of people drinking coffee this morning. Given your national popularity, it's strange that no one recognized you."

"Or are they all your people, responsible for protecting you?"

His casual question made Lu Han feel a shiver of apprehension, and at the same time, he was glad he was wearing a hat and had a simple disguise.

Otherwise, it would have been difficult to deal with.

"Hey!"

"Young Master Ping, you're joking. Actually, I'm not that popular."

"Besides, I've made some necessary cover-ups, so it's reasonable that they didn't recognize me."

Lu Han pulled the brim of his hat further down with his hand, then changed the subject. "Young Master Ping, the reason I asked to meet you today is still to ask you to write a song for me."

"You can name any condition."

In his heart, he wished Chen Shaoping would make the most outrageous demands possible.

That way, it would be easier for him to manipulate the situation.

"Teacher Lu Han, your assistant Ms. Fan came to the company last time, also to request a song for you."

"At that time, I clearly stated that I was too busy during this period and simply couldn't spare the time."

"Didn't she explain it clearly to you?"

Without waiting for Lu Han to respond, Chen Shaoping continued, "I think she most likely didn't explain it clearly to you, otherwise your studio wouldn't have released such an announcement."

"It forced our company's official website to keep comments closed, otherwise your fans would drown us with their spit."

A cold glint flashed in Lu Han's eyes as he murmured inwardly.

You closed comments because you offended Xu Kun on the 'the singer & songwriter' program, and his fans wanted to seek justice for Xu Kun, right?

Although he didn't want to admit it, Xu Kun's fans were indeed a bit more fanatical than his own.

Sometimes he even envied Xu Kun for receiving such protection from his fans.

But what did fan protection matter?

Now Xu Kun was out of favor, while he was at the peak of his popularity.

A brilliant smile involuntarily appeared on his face. "Oh. Xiao Fan did tell me that you promised to write a song for me after some time."

"I was so happy that I arranged for that announcement to be released, but I didn't expect it to displease Young Master Ping. I apologize to you here."

He stood up and bowed slightly to Chen Shaoping, "I'm sorry, Young Master Ping."

Then he immediately added, "Some time has passed since then, so Young Master Ping can write for me now, right?"

His tone became a little heavier.

Chen Shaoping looked at Lu Han, not expecting these top celebrities to be such drama queens in real life.

"I'm afraid not yet, Teacher Lu Han. You know, songwriting relies on inspiration. No matter how hard you try without inspiration, it's useless."

"Recently, I've had too many vexing things on my mind, making me irritable. It might take quite a while to rest before I have the interest to write songs again."

"It could be a few months, or it could be a few years."

"So, Teacher Lu Han, please don't wait for me. There are plenty of people in Dragon Country willing to write songs for you; there's no need to waste your time on me."

Chen Shaoping politely refused.

After hearing Chen Shaoping's words, Lu Han's expression darkened.

"Young Master Ping, you're refusing directly without even mentioning conditions. Are you looking down on me a bit?"

"Or have I offended you in some way, making you dislike me so much?"

Chen Shaoping's expression remained unchanged. He waved his hand and said calmly, "No, nothing like that. I'm just a little afraid of Teacher Lu Han, that's all."

"We've never had any dealings, and it's perfectly fine to maintain that status in the future."

He said this to see if Lu Han would follow his train of thought.

"Afraid of me? Why?" Lu Han felt a little better, but he still had no clue.

In his memory, this was his first time meeting Chen Shaoping, wasn't it?

Chen Shaoping didn't answer immediately. He picked up his coffee cup, his gaze subtly sweeping over the "customer" not far away who had been continuously filming them with a phone.

He put down the cup, deciding not to beat around the bush anymore.

He suddenly lowered his voice, adopting a slightly urgent and wary demeanor. "Because... I was also at the airport during the last incident, and I was very close to you, Teacher Lu Han."

"I know exactly what really happened at the airport..."

He paused. "But don't worry, I won't say anything."

"Even if I did, no one would believe me. So, Teacher Lu Han, you can rest assured."
