147. Lei, good luck

That overbearing voice full of power made every other voice in the hall dissappear.

In came Qi Longwei followed by his assistant, Qi Yi in his signature back suit. That tall and handsome presence made everyone else in the hall shut up.

Damn that's powerful.

Qi Longwei made his way all the way up to the stage, to the spot where Li Zhilan was standing and stretched out his right arm around her back till his palm was able to hold her right shoulder. Once he grabbed on her shoulder, he pushed her closer to himself and kept a strong grip on her whilst not hurting her.

''Qi Longwei. What nonsense are you spouting infornt of the camera. Go somewhere else with your jokes.'' Li Zhilan warned Qi Longwei in a stern voice while eyeing him a strong warning from an angle where the cameras couldn't capture. The voice she used to said it wasn't low so as soon as she completed saying it, everyone thought it was just a joke but still, it was very hard to beleive that great Qi would joke with someone much less with someone of the opposite gender.

But the next few words Li Zhilan said to those present helped many dissipate their confusion on this particular topic.

''Sorry about that everyone. It's just that Spider has a weird sense of humor. If you are thinking why he is so 'different' with me, well that's because I can be considered as his childhood friend. Now I know that, that has given birth to a new question in your minds about how two people living in two different countries be childhood friends. Well, we met at a camp in Country M. And we became bestfriends after meeting in that camp. So I can boldly say that the Spider I know, and the Qi Longwei you all know can be different. Very different in fact. So please don't take such stupid remarks he leaves to heart. He never means any of that seriously so it really can't be taken seriously. So now, let's forget about this person and let's continue with the promotion?''

With that said, Li Zhilan tore Qi Longwei's arms off herself and 'asked' him to leave the stage and head to 'wherever he was going'. Ofcourse it wouldn't be completed without a little bit of warnings and threats.

And the MC also turned out to be very professional because within a few minutes, he could regain his senses and make everyone come back to the topic.

...

''The three male actors, how do you feel about being paired with the only female lead in the movie, that is miss Li Zhilan? Would you like to share your thoughts? Well you don't have an option.You have to share your thoughts even if you don't have one. So let's start with Wang Lei.''

Everyone cheered on as Wang Lei picked up the mike to speak.

''Lei, speak your thoughts.''

''Don't hold it back.''

Wang Lei's fans cheered on from below the stage making Wang Lei burst out into giggles of embarrassment.

''For me, I think Xiao Li is very different form those other girls I met. She has got that ability that I like very much which is expressing herself and living freely. After knowing her for these couple of months, the thing I learned about her is that she won't care about what others would say about her one bit. She got that attitude that says, 'I'm alright with it so I'll do it. Who are they to comment.' That is very unique as well as attractive because no matter what, in the world of opinions, prioritizing your own opinion is very difficult. So that's one thing that I would like to get from her. So if you ask me, she is my idol, and being paired with my idol, the feeling it gives me, you all know it better than anyone.'' With a shy but full of smiles expression, Wang Lei captured everyone's heart with his words because they really knew that feeling and could understand it better than anyone else.

Even Li Zhilan felt that what he said was warm and couldn't help but smile and laugh out of awkwardness as well as a little bit of embarrassment. It's not the first time that someone called her their idol but it's the first time that someone who didn't really know much about her liked her for who she was and that someone was even her supposed to be senior in career. It really made her feel weird and at the same time proud?

At the same time, everyone around them cheered as well. Some even started to shout out their approvals and wishes.

''Lei, we will support you all the time.''

''We will wish for you to get together with your idol.''

''May Lei be one of those rare fans to get together with their idol.''

''Lei do your best.''

''Lei, keep up your spirit.''

''Lei, good luck.''

''Lei good luck.''

''Lei, good luck.''

Soon a series of 'Lei good luck.' started resounding in the area and almost everyone joined in on it making it loud and clear. Infact, the ones inside weren't the only ones who were cheering on. There were many who were watching the promotion live online, and the comment sections on the platform were filled with such cheering. Those that were present outside were also shouting so loudly that even their voices could be heard inside faintly.

Once Host Pei realized it, he made everyone in the hall quite down discretely. When the people inside the hall suddenly calmed down, the voice from the outside became much clearer. Infact it was so clear that they could hear each word in their cheer clearly. Only after almost a minute did those outside the hall realise that those inside had stopped cheering and they also gradually started to calm down.

The previously roaring place calmed down quite significantly.
