Chapter 326 - 297: That’s Wu Li, you know
Chapter 326: Chapter 297: That’s Wu Li, you knowFebruary 8th, Shudu Tianxi Grand Hotel.
From 11 a.m., a steadily increasing number of journalists arrived outside the hotel, and by noon, it was nearly impassable.
"Everyone, I understand your feelings, but please don’t interfere with the normal operations of our hotel, okay?"
Eventually, the hotel manager had no choice but to come out and ask the journalists to clear a path so that guests could come and go freely.
Today, the entire hotel had been booked out for a private event, and there were quite a few guests expected.
Starting from 12 p.m., people began arriving at the hotel, and without exception, they were all stopped by the journalists waiting outside for an interview.
"Excuse me, are you employees of Bo Yuan Company?"
"Ah, yes."
"I heard that your company is having an annual meeting here today?"
"Right."
"And that Wu Li might be coming today?"
"That... we’re just regular employees, we don’t really know."
"But someone from your company just said that Wu Li would be here today."
"Is that so? It would certainly be great if he could come, haha."
These were employees who were not too privy to the inside information.
...
"May I ask what your position is at Bo Yuan Company?"
"Uh, I’m a coach at the Bo Yuan Martial Arts Hall’s Shudu branch."
"Do you know if Wu Li will be attending the annual meeting today?"
"Ah, there are internal rumors that Sir Wu is very likely to attend, but I’m not sure either."
"You call Wu Li ’Sir Wu’?"
"Yes, back when..."
This was a coach who had trained in boxing with Wu Li.
...
"Excuse me, will Wu Li be here today?"
"Boss Wu, we all certainly hope he’ll come. Our Boss Liu personally invited him, and I guess there’s a good chance he will. But Boss Liu said to keep it a secret, so I’m not certain, haha."
"Is the Boss Liu you mentioned Liu Yuanbo?"
"Yes, he’s also Boss Wu’s disciple."
This was one of the senior executives at Bo Yuan Company.
...
Originally, the news of Bo Yuan Company’s annual meeting wouldn’t have garnered much attention, but as soon as the possibility of Wu Li attending was leaked, it caused a sensation.
There was no help for it; Wu Li had not appeared in China for a long time, but somehow, he would occasionally top the trending
"No!" Qin Jingjing suddenly interrupted, "No matter how much you offer, I won’t sell it!"
The other girl was stunned, "Why not?"
"Because I’m his fan too."
Qin Jingjing flashed a smile and turned to walk toward the hotel entrance, with her ponytail swaying left and right.
...
At around 2:10 p.m., three black Mercedes cars stopped at the hotel entrance. Xu Chuan and several bodyguards got out of the cars first, followed by Wu Power from the middle vehicle.
"Wu Power!"
"Wu Power is here!"
"Ah, ah, ah, Wu Power!"
"I love you, Wu Power!"
"Kung Fu Hero!"
"Wu Power!!!"
"Look here, Wu Power!"
...
A deafening noise erupted as Wu Power looked helplessly at the journalists frantically rushing towards him.
Fortunately, Liu Yuan Bo had received the news in advance and arranged for ten people to accompany Wu Power over. They managed to block the journalists from getting too close.
To avoid chaos and stampedes, Shudu traffic police had arrived here at 1:30 p.m. and set up crowd control barriers along both sides of the street. As a result, when Wu Power appeared, although the crowd on both sides of the street became agitated, thankfully, they did not surge forward like the journalists.
"Wu Power, what do you think about the upcoming competition?"
"Wu Power, are you confident in claiming the championship rights?"
"Wu Power, will you have the audience sing for you this time?"
...
Journalists shouted questions one after another. Surrounded by his bodyguards, Wu Power moved laboriously toward the hotel entrance.
"Ah, Wu Power is really here!"
"I so regret not buying a pass earlier!"
"But those scalpers were asking for too much, one thousand per pass! It’s extortion!"
"Still, it’s Wu Power! He’s really here!"
"Hey, stop it, my heart aches."
Two young girls near the hotel entrance spoke dejectedly, their eyes fixed on the crowd ahead, as if they were trying to catch a glimpse of Wu Power through the throng.
Two traffic policemen assigned to block the crowd exchanged glances upon hearing the conversation.
The older of the two policemen shook his head, "Is it really worth it? It’s not like it’s a concert."
The other, a younger cop, smiled and cast an envious glance towards the hotel entrance, "It is worth it."
"That’s Wu Power right there!"
