Chapter 1415 - Zhang Ye smashes cars! (Middle)

Translator: Legge Editor: Legge

The public square was not far away, and they only had to cross a long street to get there.

“Where is it?”

“Right in front!”

“At the Korean car brand’s event?”

“Yes, that one!”

“Why did Chenchen go there? Didn’t she say she wanted to go shopping at the mall?”

“She insisted on going to watch the buzz.”

Rao Aimin looked solemn.

Zhang Ye was getting very anxious.

Even though the two of them did not usually show a lot of concern for Chenchen, they were actually very worried about her.

The group of them walked quickly towards the square. From afar, they could already see the advertisement banners and stage erected by the Korean car brand. The floor was covered with a red carpet, and seven or eight black bulletproof cars were parked on it. There were even some golf clubs, wooden baseball bats, and other equipment such as pliers lying around. Clearly, these were the items that were handed out to the audience for them to smash the cars. All around, a large crowd of people were watching as Chenchen and Little Wang stood in the center of the stage. The event crew and supervisor were also with them.

At this moment, a quarrel was occurring on stage.

Little Wang had her hands on her hips as she said, “How could it be so easily damaged?”

The male employee pointed at the car door and said, “There, take a look for yourself!”

Little Wang said loudly, “You were the ones who allowed the child to smash it first! It was you who let her onto the stage! There were so many other people before her who tried smashing the car, so why are we not allowed to do so when it came to our turn?”

The male employee said angrily, “Everyone else tried to smash the windows! Who told you that you could hit the car door!”

“But you guys didn’t make it clear to us!”

Beside them, a female employee said, “Could we have been any more clearer? Our cars still need to be sold. Now that the paint has been scratched, how are we going to sell it?”

Little Wang yelled, “What are you shouting at us for? Look, you’re scaring the child!”

Chenchen stood there expressionless.

That supervisor and the crew nearly fainted!

How is that called being scared!

She’s even calmer than we are, alright!

Quite a few people offstage started murmuring.

“You guys actually didn’t make it clear.”

“Besides, you can’t blame the child either.”

“The child’s frame is so small and she doesn’t know how to use her strength, so it’s very normal that she would accidentally smash elsewhere on the car.”

“The kid did not do it on purpose anyway, so surely you guys don’t have to be so relentless in blaming her, right?”

“Yeah, just forget it.”

“You’re a pretty big company. Surely you won’t miss this bit of money, right?”

The supervisor onstage said, “It’s not a matter of missing the money. This matter has to be cleared up. She should not be messing around like this even if she’s a child!”

Chenchen calmly said, “There’s a problem with the quality of your car.”

The supervisor got annoyed and pointed at Chenchen, saying, “You damaged our car and still dare to make such irresponsible remarks?”

Little Wang slapped his hand away like a ferocious tiger. “Who do you think you’re pointing at!”

A few male employees came over and surrounded her. “How dare you lay a hand on us!”

By this point, things were quite clear.

So it turned out that Chenchen had dragged Little Wang and Little Zhou here to have a look at the commotion. She saw that there was an event for smashing cars, so she also joined the line to give it a try. When the organizers saw that it was a child, they just let her go up towards the car with a smile. But who could have thought that a little nine-year-old girl like that could be so strong? She picked up a brick and threw it, although it missed and hit slightly below the window. The paint on the car door was chipped off and exposed a slightly dented metal base underneath. The onlookers were already a little suspicious before this. They knew that this was supposed to be a bulletproof car and the glass seemed pretty solid too, so why did the car door get damaged so easily? In the end, with Chenchen also saying something like “there’s a problem with the quality of your car,” the supervisor of the event immediately gave up on arguing and refused to let them leave.

The supervisor shouted, “Where are the kid’s parents at? Get her parents to come and take her away!”

Little Wang said angrily, “What rights do you have to hold her here?”

The supervisor said, “Based on the fact that she had damaged the car! I have the rights to do so! Get her parents here!”

From a distance away, Zhang Ye and the others rushed over.

Zhang Ye said calmly, “I am her guardian.”

Everyone’s attention turned to him. Then it blew up!

“Oh my God!”

“Zhang Ye!”

“It’s Zhang Ye!”

“So she’s related to Zhang Ye?”

“Pfft, this will be interesting to watch!”

“It’s Face-smacking Zhang!”

People were screaming.

People were snapping photos.

People were taking videos.

The crew from the car brand was also stunned!

The supervisor said with a sunken expression, “Zhang Ye?”

Little Wang finally found her backbone. “Director Zhang!”

Zhang Ye made his way onto the stage.

Chenchen immediately came over and protested, “Zhang Ye, their car’s quality is not good.”

Zhang Ye looked at the few members of the event crew. “Let’s not say anything else first and talk about how you full-grown men have surrounded a little girl and are pointing your fingers at her and shouting. You say that the car door was damaged, that’s fine. We’ll pay to get it repaired since we’re not unreasonable people. But why are you yelling at the child?”

A male employee shouted, “She smashed our car and still made slanderous remarks about it. Even if she’s a child, she cannot make up things like that!”

Zhang Ye looked at him. “You still want to continue shouting?”

The supervisor said in a cold voice, “Teacher Zhang, are you here to intentionally make trouble?”

Zhang Ye was amused. “Me? Make trouble?”

Offstage, the staff of Zhang Ye’s Studio was angered by the situation.

The onlooking crowd was finding the situation to be getting out of hand. They felt that the organizers had gone overboard in handling this little girl by not allowing her to leave. You people were the ones who came up with this “smash one, get one free car” event in the first place. When Zhang Ye came over, he also made it very clear that they would pay however much the damages cost. It was very reasonable, yet why are you people doubling down by arguing with Zhang Ye after having chided the child?

“What the heck!”

“Teacher Zhang, don’t bother with them!”

“They’re just trying to ride on your coattails!”

People in the crowd shouted.

Ride on my coattails?

Hur hur. That won’t be easy!

Zhang Ye said, “Chenchen, go down first.”

Chenchen nodded.

The supervisor was holding fast. “She can’t leave! We have to make things clear!” From his words, there didn’t seem to be any intention of trivializing the matter.

Zhang Ye stared at him. “Let the child leave first. I’ll clear everything up with you.”

The supervisor hesitated for a bit. “Alright then!”

Zhang Ye turned around and walked up to that car. He lowered his head and had a look, pointing to the part where the paint had been chipped. “Was this done by the child?”

A male employee said, “That’s right!”

Zhang Ye asked, “Did she use a brick to smash it?”

The supervisor replied, “Yes!”

Zhang Ye nodded and said, “Then my child is right. There’s really an issue with the quality of your cars!”

The supervisor glared at him and said, “Are you trying to shift the blame?”

The male employee said, “Don’t you spout bullshit!”

Zhang Ye said, “Anyone with a bit of common sense would understand that a little nine-year-old girl could not possibly be that strong. It doesn’t matter how strong she might be, or how she could have been blessed with divine strength, that’s simply impossible!”

The people offstage laughed.

Zhang Ye pointed to the side. “With just a brick, that was all it took to dent the door on your so-called bulletproof car? Then where is your so-called bulletproof protection?” He reached out and knocked on it. “I can believe that the paint is not bulletproof, but what about the steel plating?”

The supervisor immediately said, “What do you know? This is just the outer layer. The real bulletproof protection is underneath that. If a bullet is fired at it, it will only be able to pass through the outer layer of the car door. There is no way that it could get into the car. There are five levels of protection built into our car doors, and they’ve gone through professional, military-grade testing!”

Zhang Ye said, “I can’t see whether they really have five levels of protection or not, but I know that the first level has been broken by a nine-year-old girl with a brick.”

The people hooted.

“Yeah!”

“There’s nothing wrong with what Teacher Zhang just said!”

“I was also wondering about it earlier. How could it have been damaged with just a smash?”

“Is this car really bulletproof?”

“Although the glass does seem to be pretty sturdy.”

“Yeah, it didn’t shatter even after getting hit by more than 20 people.”

The supervisor was infuriated when he heard that. “Teacher Zhang, I’m very sure that you’re here to intentionally cause trouble for us! The inner protection linings of the car door cannot be seen without breaking it open. You’re deliberately grabbing onto this issue. What do you mean to say? What are your motives? You’re purposely trying to defame our brand! All those sets of eyes offstage witnessed for themselves earlier just how strong our bulletproof cars are! Using the many tools that we provided for them here, no one could even manage to break the glass on our bulletproof cars! So how could there be a problem with the quality of our cars? We’re one of the top three car manufacturers in Korea! We promise that every one of our bulletproof cars has passed the quality test!”

A male employee said, “You’re dirtying our reputation!”

Another male employee shouted, “What are your motives here!”

Their group of people spoke without a trace of politeness.

Seeing this, the surrounding crowd was filled with a sense of disgust.

What was this?

What kind of a person was Zhang Ye?

He was a Peking University professor!

A world-class mathematician!

Even if you guys don’t respect him, you should at least try to be a little polite, right? How could they speak like that? Intentionally causing trouble? Why would he intentionally make trouble? Weren’t you the ones who held that little girl back and insisted on seeing her parents? Now that a guardian of hers has come, you’re picking on this and that! What kind of people are you!

The staff of Zhang Ye’s Studio were exasperated too!

However, what surprised everyone was how Zhang Ye was still as calm as ever. He looked at them indifferently with no signs of emotion.

Zhang Ye turned around and tapped on the car window. “It’s really bulletproof?”

The supervisor said coldly, “Give it a try if you don’t believe it!”

Zhang Ye smiled and said, “Why do I somehow doubt it?”

An employee nearby said, “We have tools here! You can use them as you wish! Pick one!”

The supervisor sneered. “Didn’t you say that there was a problem with our quality? Alright then, go ahead and smash it. Any car that you successfully smash, we’ll give away a free car to you!”

They were all waiting to see him make a fool of himself!

Zhang Ye also smiled. “I’m gonna give it a try then?”

The supervisor stretched out his hand invitingly. “Try as you like!”

Bulletproof glass?

Are you joking or what!

Not even the world’s strongest man could leave a scratch on it!

Then, Zhang Ye raised his right hand!

There was no baseball bat!

There was no brick!

With just some concealed power hidden within his palm, he nonchalantly slapped the bulletproof glass. A loud bang reverberated and the entire frame of the car shook!

Cracks started appearing on the glass!

The supervisor was dumbfounded!

The employees were dumbfounded!

The crowd was dumbfounded!

The staff of Zhang Ye’s Studio was also dumbfounded!

A second later, Zhang Ye raised his hand again and slapped it down once more!

Bang!

A shockwave traveled through the body of the car!

And the glass broke with a crash!

In this very moment, no one at the venue could say a thing!

Silence reigned in the huge public square!
