Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Apologize and Make Amends

Sheng Yan glanced at Deng Zhaoyan and said calmly, "The person is right outside my door. By the time you get back to deal with this, it will already be too late. What you should be thankful for is that I happened to be out and not in my room. Call the hotel security now and tell them someone is harassing me."

Zhang Ming’s expression turned stern. Female celebrities throwing themselves at stars wasn’t unprecedented, and they had a protocol for such situations, but Sheng Yan was particularly ruthless this time.

He said in a heavy voice, "Alright, I’ll go call security now."

"Don’t!"

Deng Zhaoyan couldn’t stand it anymore and pleaded, "Emperor Sheng, I just came to ask for an autograph. It’s not what you think. Please don’t call security. Give me another chance!"

As she spoke, she ran towards Sheng Yan, a vicious glint crossing her downcast eyes.

She might as well throw herself at Sheng Yan and cling to him. By the time security arrived, they would see the two of them embracing. It would be harder for Sheng Yan to disassociate himself from her!

However, Deng Zhaoyan had only run a few steps when her feet uncontrollably came to a stop. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, sending a wave of palpitations through her.

Sheng Yan stood unmoving around the corner, his cold gaze piercing her, a powerful aura bearing down on her as if to say that if she dared to come any closer, her fate would be horrendous.

What kind of look was that?

It was like the stare of the Grim Reaper, invisibly throttling Deng Zhaoyan’s throat, causing her to tremble all over with nervousness.

How could someone’s presence be so overwhelming? Was this the power of a superstar?

No, it couldn’t be... How could a celebrity possess such a gaze!

She felt as though she was facing a ferocious beast that could charge at her any moment and rip her body to shreds.

In her daze, the elevator doors at the penthouse level opened, and a group of people dressed like security guards rushed out, quickly heading towards Sheng Yan’s room.

Upon seeing them, the guards promptly separated Deng Zhaoyan from Sheng Yan, though there was already a considerable distance between the two.

As the guards went to pull Deng Zhaoyan away, they discovered her body trembling uncontrollably, barely able to walk, limp as if she might collapse any second.

One of the guards approached Sheng Yan, his face solemn as he asked if Sheng Yan had been harmed.

Deng Zhaoyan, being led by security, brushed past them and heard Sheng Yan’s answer, "Yes, I feel shocked."

This response surprised both the security captain and Deng Zhaoyan.

The security captain didn’t believe Sheng Yan was shocked, as he showed no signs of panic, while Deng Zhaoyan felt embarrassed.

Her body weak and uncomfortable, the very sound of his voice almost made her faint!

Luckily for her, she couldn’t hear what Sheng Yan said next, as she had already been taken away from the scene by the guards.

The security captain pondered for a moment, feeling the situation was tricky.

Because Sheng Yan had signed a confidentiality agreement and a security protocol with the hotel upon his arrival, the hotel had promised to seal off the top floor, only allowing entry to those authorized by Sheng Yan.

Suddenly, an unrelated person appeared, and the fault was on the hotel’s side. The security team leader had no choice but to accept Sheng Yan’s seemingly ludicrous reason and braced himself to ask, "May I ask, Mr. Sheng, what kind of compensation would you like the hotel to provide?"

Sheng Yan glanced at the captain and said indifferently, "No need for compensation, just copy the surveillance footage from the top floor for me. I want to keep it as evidence, and I hope such incidents don’t happen again at your hotel, otherwise it won’t look good for anyone if this gets out."

The security team leader hurriedly apologized and respectfully invited Sheng Yan into the room, sincerely saying that he should put forward any requests and the hotel would fulfill them if possible.

Those who can open a hotel in Film City certainly have backing, but Sheng Yan is a superstar with significant backing of his own. Should a conflict arise, the hotel would definitely be at a disadvantage.

The security team leader feared Sheng Yan would spread the word, tarnishing the hotel’s reputation. Without stars checking in, the hotel’s closure wouldn’t be far off.

Hotels located in Film City mostly cater to celebrity guests, whose money is easy to earn. Room rates can be set higher without issue as long as the service is satisfactory; they tend to be quite generous.

What celebrities value most are privacy and security. How can a hotel expect celebrities to stay if it can’t guarantee these two things?

As a superstar, Sheng Yan holds considerable influence in the entertainment circle. Many celebrities embarked on their career paths because of him. All he needs to do is say the word, and he could undoubtedly bring the hotel down.

After being coldly dismissed by Sheng Yan, the security team leader grew increasingly uneasy and decided to report the incident to the hotel manager.

The manager also recognized the seriousness of the situation. Thinking the matter should be handled by Emperor Sheng, a superstar on the same level as themselves, they didn’t dare make decisions alone and subsequently called the person behind the hotel.

The person in charge behind the scenes was also a celebrity, a superstar just like Sheng Yan. Opening the hotel in Film City was just a way to make money. Once the funds were in place, they hired professionals to manage it and became a leisurely hands-off owner.

Thus, ten minutes later, Sheng Yan received a strange video call.

Looking at the unfamiliar caller ID on his phone, he raised an eyebrow and answered.

"Hello, I’m Zhang Chen, they say seeing is believing, Boss Sheng!"

A handsome man appeared on the phone screen, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth. His voice was crisp as a bell, ringing clearly through the air with a raspy huskiness at the end, making it utterly addictive on first listen.

Zhang Chen was a singer, and a singer who had become a superstar.

His voice was unique, with a wide range and smooth transitions between high, mid, and low pitches. Blessed with a great voice and an excellent lyricist and composer, he released a platinum record each year.

From his debut, Zhang Chen’s career took off explosively. Over ten years, he produced many outstanding works and numerous classic songs that were widely sung, which garnered the heritage he leveraged to step into superstardom.

Zhang Chen’s career has been stable, with a far-reaching influence. Fans of all ages, young, middle-aged, and elderly, could become his fans. With a solid foundation, once he reached superstardom, he quickly rose to become one of the most influential figures among the greats.

In terms of status, Sheng Yan, having only risen to superstardom in the past two years, was far from matching Zhang Chen, a seasoned superstar.

Not to mention, Zhang Chen, who took good care of his appearance, looked as handsome at forty as any twenty-something heartthrob, endearing him greatly to the younger generation.

Zhang Chen had no connection with Sheng Yan whatsoever, and his sudden call was about the hotel incident.

Sheng Yan faced him without the respect that a junior might have for a senior, simply looking at him calmly as he asked, "What do you need with me?"
