Chapter 394: Chapter 395 Aging! Mom! Is! Going! Crazy!

Tony handed these remarks over to Luo You, who translated a few sentences into Huaxia language. Before He Jinxia had any chance to respond, Cheng Xiaohua said indignantly:

"They are way out of line, can’t we pursue stars rationally? It’s like they block people just for the sake of it, as if they were playing a game!"

If He Jinxia actually had such high popularity in M country, that would be one thing, but the key point is Jinxia didn’t have such high popularity. Perhaps less than half of the people who came were her fans; the rest were just there to watch the fun.

Luo You said indifferently, "Pursue stars? You should be glad they are just playing around. Foreign customs are more liberal than at home. If they truly chased Jinxia as they would a star, you should now be worrying about Jinxia’s safety, not about how to disperse these crowds."

"I see a lot of young people trapped in the crowd. Those young people are probably just here for fun. This group is the most uncontrollable—they’d treat you like their God if they idolize you, but if they give up on you, they could turn around and shoot you with a gun, fanatic and deranged."

Cheng Xiaohua was taken aback by Luo You’s remarks. She shrank her neck and whispered, "As far as physical confrontation goes, I’m not afraid."

Luo You glanced at her and said with a sly grin, "Why would they use their bodies to fight you when they have guns?"

Seeing that the topic got sidetracked, He Jinxia quickly interrupted, "Alright, let’s discuss how we can get out now, shall we?"

Tony, who had a unique train of thought, offered a bad suggestion on the side, "Bruce has a gun!"

He Jinxia gave him a look, "And then, do you plan to clear the way with a gun?"

Tony indeed wanted to say yes, stirring chaos for the sake of it, but after catching Jinxia’s gaze, he lost his nerve and coughed lightly, saying, "No, I just meant you don’t have to be too scared."

He Jinxia looked at him somberly and said faintly, "If we need a gun to feel safe, that’s already more serious than being scared."

Tony was somewhat puzzled. Just as he was about to ask for clarification, He Jinxia had already turned to discuss strategies with Luo You. Consequently, Toney looked to Cheng Xiaohua, incessantly asking what Jinxia’s last statement meant.

Cheng Xiaohua blinked, she could understand what Jinxia meant, but she struggled with expression, and after talking in circles with Tony for quite a while, she ended up confusing him even more.

Using hand gestures, Cheng Xiaohua tried to convey her point, "It’s about whether a place is safer with guns or without them."

Tony: "Isn’t it safer with guns?"

Cheng Xiaohua: "No, it’s unsafe. Because you have to protect yourself with a gun. If you’re in a country without guns, you don’t need to protect yourself with a gun at all. So, isn’t it safer in a country without guns?"

Tony: "No, no, no, it’s safer in a country with guns. Which country in the world doesn’t have guns?"

Cheng Xiaohua: "I was just using the country as a metaphor, don’t take it literally. We’re talking about the general public. In an environment where no one around carries guns versus one where everyone does, the former obviously seems safer, doesn’t it?"

So, the topic circled back again, and Tony posed the classic, exasperating question, "Why would not carrying a gun make one feel safer? I feel obviously safer with a gun in hand."

Cheng Xiaohua: "..."

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Aging! God! I’m! About! To! Go! Insane!

Just as Cheng Xiaohua was inwardly cursing Tony as a block of rotten wood, with her face flushed and ears burning, almost unable to resist rolling up her sleeves for a showdown with Tony, He Jinxia and Luo You had also come up with a solution.

Luo You clapped his hands, yelling just before Cheng Xiaohua was about to explode, "Get ready, everyone. Jinxia has decided to hold an impromptu fan meeting here to pacify the fans who’ve come. Then, even if we have to pull back, we’ll have a good angle to approach from for PR."

Suddenly, everyone’s focus was on the hastily organized fan meet.

Communications with the hotel went smoothly. The hotel where He Jinxia was staying was just a regular three-star hotel. Even though it was near a tourist spot, it was usually quiet, with guests mainly flocking during New Year’s, festivals, or fashion weeks like Shengshi.

Ever since the hotel found out that a Huaxia celebrity was staying with them, and a large group of the star’s fans gathered outside, the hotel manager’s smile had not left his face.

Having lots of people was good, the more the better. Even if just two or three of them decided to stay overnight, it was a win for the hotel.

After learning that He Jinxia was going to host a fan meet, the hotel manager became even happier, promptly offering to provide the venue for free and discount the cost of beverages and other fees by 20% for He Jinxia.

While communicating with the hotel manager, Luo You always felt that the manager’s smiles were somehow malevolent and subtly warned him about the security issues.

If the crowd swelled, the hotel would have to increase security. Any safety incident could cause trouble both for the hotel and He Jinxia.

Luo You’s words cooled down the excited manager’s mood. Originally planning to promote the event on the hotel’s official website, he rethought, as the hotel’s security indeed might not keep up if the crowd got too big.

With both parties having their own agendas, regardless, an hour later, He Jinxia’s first-ever fan meet took place, rather uniquely, in an ordinary hotel in M country.

Due to limited space and having only Tony and Luo You to interpret, only screened fans were allowed in, with overweight fans given priority.

Once the plus-sized individuals were inside, if there was still room left, other onlookers that had come for the excitement were allowed in.

After a brief makeover by Tony, He Jinxia was pushed out by Luo You for her speech.

He Jinxia had prepared some official-sounding lines in her mind, but upon taking the stage and seeing the many overweight individuals below, observing the unease and hopeful sparks in their eyes, she suddenly didn’t want to say any of it. Directly, she said,

"Ask me anything you’d like. Whatever I know, I will try my best to answer you."

No one understood the agony of being overweight better than her—physical inconvenience was one thing, but the strange looks from others, the pressure, and the force of public opinion pressed down on the overweight populace like a flood.

The previous He Jinxia had died from an overdose of diet pills under such distorted conditions and public pressure.

He Jinxia had a deep understanding of this feeling. Looking back now, it was as though she could close her eyes and instantly return to the moment she had first opened her eyes after crossing over.

It was a cold, damp feeling, as if the entire body was being compressed by diet pills, suffocating, with no place of comfort, nowhere to escape.
