At the airport.
After getting the ticket, Lin Fan took a look at the time. He still had some time to get something to eat.
At that moment, a call from Zheng Zhong Shan came.
“Hello, Elder Zheng,” said Lin Fan as he answered the call.”
Zheng Zhong Shan was not too happy. “Elder Lin, you came to Beijing but didn’t come and visit your old friends?”
Lin Fan smiled and said, “I had something to do. I’m already at the airport now, about to go back.”
“Elder Lin, this thing you’re talking about, it’s beating people up, isn’t it?”
When Lin Fan heard that, he started laughing giddily. “Elder Zheng, I can’t agree with that. What do you mean by that? I came here to reason with them. And they were pretty good too. They understood the situation and the matter was easily resolved.”
If President Chen had heard these words, he would definitely be cursing maniacally. You call this reasoning? You were just using violence to resolve the matter!
“Why don’t you stay longer? I’ll get my wife to prepare dinner for us and we can have a few drinks,” Zheng Zhong Shan asked. He wanted to reminisce the old times with Lin Fan. At the same time, he wanted to get Lin Fan drunk and prepare a brush and a canvas for him to create a masterpiece.
Lin Fan replied, “I can’t do that. I’ve already promised my friends that I would hurry back tonight. The next time I come to Beijing, I will definitely visit you.”
“Alright, then we’ll agree on that.”
“Mmm. Let’s agree on that.”
The two of them chatted for a while more before hanging up.
Just as they hung up, Lin Fan stopped in his tracks. There was a group of young ladies gathered in front. Each of them was holding a brightly-colored red rose and a sign. There was a certain name on those signs.
Lin Fan took a glance. He knew that it was a popular celebrity but he had not seen much of that celebrity’s works and he had no idea how that celebrity had suddenly become popular.
However, after some thought, he recalled. That celebrity had participated in some kind of variety show and because he was too handsome and he knew how to show off, he gained a lot of fans.
Regarding this kind of matter, Lin Fan didn’t really care. He was about to go and get something to eat but then, he stopped in his tracks again.
On the other side, there were two men and a lady, holding a sign as if they were waiting for someone.
Written on the sign was ‘Scholar Ma’.
Lin Fan went forward curiously and inquired, “Hello, what does this Scholar Ma do?”
The three of them looked at Lin Fan curiously. Then, one of them seemed to realize something. He asked softly, “Are you Master Lin?”
“Mmm.” Lin Fan nodded.
They recognized Master Lin but they didn’t dare to confirm it. Due to the nature of their work, they seldom watched the news. However, they still had a certain understanding of Master Lin.
“So it really is Master Lin. Master Lin, I really worship you. You brought fortune to the masses by conquering those diseases,” said one of the men excitedly. According to their introduction, this man had the surname ‘Cui’.
Lin Fan smiled and said, “Are you here to receive someone?”
The man with the surname Cui nodded. “Yeah. Our Scholar Ma is coming back from a conference overseas, so we’re here to welcome him.”
Then, he explained everything about who Scholar Ma was.
When Lin Fan heard it, he was slightly taken aback. He hadn’t expected that Scholar Ma was a big shot. And he was a big shot who had contributed a lot. Moreover, the things that he researched had tremendous benefits to the country and to the masses.
This time, his research had succeeded and he had gone overseas to engage in an exchange.
This kind of person was coming back with such tremendous success but there were only three people welcoming him back. It seemed very miserable. Then, looking at those fans who were waiting for the celebrity to come, it was simply incomparable.
Lin Fan glanced at those fans on the other side, then took out his phone and made a Weibo post. “Sigh. I’m at the Beijing airport now. My idol is about to come out but there are way too few people here. Are there any Internet buddies who can come and help to liven up the atmosphere?”
When this post was sent, countless netizens entered the discussion.
“D*mn. Master Lin is at the airport now? I’m here too! Please give me your location!”
“F*ck. I live in Beijing and I’ve never seen Master Lin in person before. I’m going to charge over there right now.”
“Master Lin’s idol? D*mn! But this isn’t right. It seems that the only celebrity who will appear at the Beijing airport today is Han Jun.”
“D*mn. Master Lin’s idol couldn’t be that sissy Han Jun, could it? If that’s the case, I won’t be able to take it. I’ll even want to stop being a fan.”
^Your brain must have short-circuited. How could such trash be Master Lin’s idol?”
“Trash? What has my Han Jun done to offend you?”
“Cheh. I’m going to look for Master Lin.”
Very soon, the already crowded airport became even more crowded.
People came from all directions and even a whole group had come.
Han Jun’s fans were all discussing amongst themselves. But when they saw a group of people coming, they were delighted. “Look. So many people have come. Could they be our fellow Jun fans?”
The young men and ladies looked over and were elated. “They must be. I didn’t think that our Jun Jun had so many fans. There are even thirty and forty-year-olds. I didn’t think our Jun Jun was so attractive that even these uncles and aunties are drawn in.”
But before long, this group of people had charged into the distance.
Han Jun’s fans shouted, “You’re going the wrong way. We’re Jun Jun’s welcome group.”
In the group, a middle-aged man turned his head and muttered.
“Retards.”
Lin Fan and those three comrades from the Chinese Academy of Sciences were chatting. They talked about some rather serious topics.
“Master Lin…”
At that moment, a series of voices came from afar. A middle-aged man had his hands raised up high and his face was filled with excitement. He had been a leukemia sufferer in the past but thanks to Master Lin conquering leukemia, he had regained his health. To him, Master Lin had given him a second life to be with his family.
Thereafter, he had become one of Lin Fan’s fans.
When he had seen Master Lin requesting support on Weibo, he hadn’t even had to consider before he rushed over.
Lin Fan waved. “Over here. I’m over here.”
Meanwhile, when some of Han Jun’s fans heard ‘Master Lin’, they seemed thrilled as well. “D*mn. It’s Master Lin. I have to go and take a look.”
“Hey, we’re here to welcome Jun Jun back. What are you going there for?”
“I’m going over to Master Lin’s side. We’ll see about Han Jun later. We get to see him every day, so there’s no need to worry about this one time.”
A young lady growled furiously, “Are you still a Jun fan?”
“Jun fan my a*s. My real identity is a Fan fan. Compared to Master Lin, that Han Jun is nothing. I’m going.”
At that moment, most of the people in the Han Jun fan group started whispering amongst themselves.
“It’s Master Lin. I’ve always followed him on Weibo. He’s a super incredible person.”
“Yeah, me too. I worship Master Lin to death. I have to go and take a look.”
“Let’s go. Let’s not receive Han Jun for now. We see him frequently anyway, so it doesn’t matter.”
At that moment, the number of people who were there to receive Han Jun had decreased by half. And there were some people beginning to stir as well.
Because Master Lin had gone on all sorts of headlines for all kinds of mystical incidents. They had all been shocked by him.
