The next day.
On the day of departure. In the morning.
Wu Zeqing was making breakfast. His mother was helping Zhang Ye pack his luggage.
"Are you bringing a toothbrush?"
"There's one over there. You don't have to."
"Bring a towel. The hotel's isn't clean."
"Aiya, there's no need."
"Why do you think you're going there for so many days?"
"Hai, I'm just going there for a walk."
"You must be careful when you're there."
"Got it, Mom. Don't you know how skilled I am?"
"Who's talking about you? I'm just asking you to be careful of others' safety. Don't cause trouble when you get there. If the police arrest you, how are you going to come back?"
"I won't. Don't worry."
"With that temper of yours, it'd be a wonder if I can rest assured!"
"Help me keep an eye on Old Wu."
"Do I need you to tell me? Just go. "
The luggage was packed.
After breakfast.
Zhang Ye pulled his luggage out of the house.
At the entrance, Yang Shu was already waiting with Ha Qiqi, Little Wang, and the others. Little Sun quickly came down to help him load his luggage into the car. Zhang Ye opened the door and got in.
The car drove off.
Ha Qiqi gave a wry smile. "You didn't tell your family where you're staying, did you?"
Zhang Ye shrugged. "No, I didn't."
Little Wang said, "Why do you insist on staying at the Asakusa Hotel?"
Little Zhou said, "Yeah, that's where the wind and waves are the fiercest. I can't even avoid it."
Zhang Ye smiled. "But the hotel is pretty nice."
Little Wang said, "Pfft! Why do you think it's nice? "
However, Zhang Ye did not explain at all.
Everyone drove to the airport, got out, checked in, went through security, and boarded the plane.
…
On the plane.
Everyone started talking about the comic.
How to submit it.
How to handle it.
How to deceive people.
After all, this was the real purpose of their trip.
…
The plane landed.
At the Tokyo airport.
This was the first time Little Wang and Little Zhou were going overseas. They looked around curiously.
Suddenly, Little Wang pointed. "Are they here to pick us up?"
Everyone looked over and saw that their names were indeed written on the boarding pass.
The people from the Asian Charity Association came to pick up Zhang Ye and his team. Moreover, Zhang Ye had met the person leading the team before. It was Qu Huahua. Qu Huahua was a woman in her thirties. She was a little chubby, but her facial features were very kind. No one would believe that she wasn't a philanthropist.
Qu Huahua stretched out her hand. "Teacher Zhang, how have you been?"
Zhang Ye shook hands with her. "Sister Qu, why did you come here personally?"
Qu Huahua smiled and said, "A lot of people know about your schedule. I was worried, so I had to come personally."
Ha Qiqi was taken aback. She did not seem to understand the connection between them knowing Zhang Ye's schedule and being worried. But the next moment, they understood.
Not far away.
Dozens of Japanese people suddenly shouted.
"Zhang Ye!"
"Over there!"
"It's him!"
"This rogue!"
"Get out of Japan!"
"Get out of Japan!"
"You're not welcome here!"
"Bah, who allowed you to come!"
"Go back to China!"
The group of people howled!
Some of them were even holding signs with the word "China" written on them, which were full of profanities.
The scolding attracted the attention of many passengers in the airport.
"It's really Zhang Ye?"
"That's him?"
"Damn, he still dares to come?"
"That bastard!"
In the end, many of the Japanese passengers who were not here for Zhang Ye also joined in the scolding.
Unlike the other countries in Asia, the Japanese people were not really concerned about the incident at the Asakusa Hotel. Many of them did not even know about it, so it did not cause much of a stir here. Their emotions were still stuck on boycotting Zhang Ye. Be it the video of Zhang Ye scolding people at Peking University, the scolding in Rivers Run Red, or the incident where Kimura Kazuya was "beaten" back to China by him, everyone had accumulated a lot of pent-up anger. Which day in the past month did they not spend scolding Zhang Ye? Yet this fellow's Asian popularity continued to rise day by day, nearly driving them to their graves. Now that Zhang Ye had come to Japan, many of the Japanese people came over to scold him!
Ha Qiqi and the others were very wary.
Little Wang and Little Zhou also tried to stay close to Yang Shu, feeling that it would be safer this way.
Qu Huahua said helplessly, "Look, you're very 'popular' here."
Zhang Ye also smiled and said calmly, "Even back in China, I didn't get this many people to welcome me at the airport. I didn't expect that I would receive such treatment in Japan."
When the charity organization's staff who came to pick them up heard that, they gave Zhang Ye another look. Was this their newly appointed philanthropic ambassador? This was also the first time most of them had seen Zhang Ye in person.
He truly lived up to his reputation!
This Teacher Zhang was really magnanimous!
With so many scoldings coming at him, he could still laugh and joke around?
Qu Huahua said, "Shall we go then?"
Zhang Ye said, "Sure."
The airport also deployed the police force to escort them out.
It wasn't that the Japanese police were willing to interfere, but that this was their duty.
In the car.
Qu Huahua said, "It's still not too late to change hotels."
Zhang Ye smiled. "There's no need to change."
Qu Huahua threw up her hands. "Alright then, I really don't know what you're thinking."
Along the way, everyone got a brief look at the scenery of Japan.
When the car arrived at the hotel, it was already noon. When the car stopped, Qu Huahua said, "Alright, I'll drop you off here. I'll get Little Yan to help you with the check-in procedures."
But Zhang Ye said, "There's no need, I can handle it myself."
Qu Huahua thought for a moment. "Alright then. There's quite a lot of reporters there, so it'll be quite a stir. Be careful and call me immediately if anything happens."
Zhang Ye smiled. "You've worked hard, Sister Qu."
Qu Huahua said, "You're welcome."
Zhang Ye and the others got out of the car and watched as they drove off.
Ha Qiqi glanced at the Asakusa Hotel across the road. "So this is the place?"
Little Wang harrumphed. "It's quite a big place."
Little Sun said, "Director Zhang, then what about us?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "You guys can check in first."
Little Zhou said, "Don't, we'll go with you first."
Zhang Ye said, "There's no need. I'm planning to stay at the hotel and rest for the next few days. You guys just do what you need to do and don't worry about me or come looking for me. Just keep your cell phone connected."
Ha Qiqi said, "Ah?"
"That's all."
Little Wang said, "But —"
"Little Yang, protect everyone's safety."
Yang Shu nodded. "Senior Bro, don't worry!"
Saying that, Zhang Ye pulled his suitcase and crossed the road alone.
Little Zhou was terrified. "Will Director Zhang be alright by himself?"
Ha Qiqi gave a wry smile. "Forget it, I don't care anymore. He must have his own plans."
They did not book a room at the Asakusa Hotel but stayed at a hotel across the road from the Asakusa Hotel. So when they turned around, they went through the hotel's entrance and checked in. As for what Zhang Ye was planning, they did not know nor could they guess.
…
At the Asakusa Hotel.
In the lobby.
Zhang Ye strolled in and found that the check-in line was quite long. It seemed like business was doing quite well and was not affected by the scolding from China at all. He found a line and waited for about two or three minutes before it was his turn. He put down his identification and passport.
The female receptionist smiled.
"Hello."
"Mhm."
"Are you checking in?"
"Mhm."
"Please wait a moment."
After the female receptionist said that, she took a few more glances at him. She found him a little familiar, but did not think too much about it. But when she flipped open Zhang Ye's passport, she was stunned!
What?
Zhang Ye?
That China Heavenly King?
The female receptionist looked up in a daze and asked in English, "Are you really going to check in?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Yes."
The female receptionist was dumbfounded. "Are you sure you're not at the wrong place? This is the Asakusa Hotel. "
Zhang Ye said, "I know, it's your hotel."
When the female receptionist checked the booking records, she was even more startled. Zhang Ye's name was actually fucking there. What was the meaning of this? Why are you staying at our hotel? Don't you watch the news? However, her hands did not stop moving. She quickly checked in for Zhang Ye and also got someone to inform the president.
…
Upstairs.
In the office.
The hotel's boss received the news very quickly.
"Zhang Ye has checked in?"
"Yes, President."
"What's he doing here?"
"It's a partnership deal with the charity organization."
"Weren't they all canceled?"
"They've canceled it, but that's except for Zhang Ye's."
"He's the only one staying here?"
"Yes."
"How many days is he staying?"
"The booking is for 10 days."
"Is he crazy?"
"President, his reputation in Japan is very bad. Everyone is scolding him. Should we cancel his booking?"
"Haha, let him stay. I was just worrying about how to expand our publicity efforts. With such a big incident happening, he still dares to choose our Asakusa Hotel? How much trust does he have in our hotel! It's a good opportunity for the people from China and Korea to take a look! Weren't they boycotting us? Didn't they cancel the booking? Look, there are still people who want to stay here! And it's even a big shot from the Asian A-list! This is free publicity for us! "
"That's right!"
…
Zhang Ye's check-in was completed very quickly.
Unbeknownst to him, he was actually recognized by quite a few Chinese and Korean reporters the moment he walked in.
"Ah!"
"I-Isn't that Zhang Ye?"
"What's he doing here?"
"Is he here for the PSAs?"
"But why is he staying here?"
"Hurry, hurry up and write the report!"
"This is big news!"
