Chapter 1498: Air Filled With Laughter/ Prepared Beforehand

According to Zhang Kaiyuan’s original plan, everyone was supposed to call his name out at this moment. After that, he would go upstage to the applause of the crowd and read his speech out. It would be so classy and so handsome!

However, it was hard to predict the future. Jing Xiaolu had already replaced him and became the one whose name everyone was calling out. Zhang Kaiyuan took a deep breath and looked at the present students. He was clear that among these people, some of them unconsciously and sincerely called out Jing Xiaolu’s name. However, those who played along did it on purpose.

Everyone knew that this class reunion was arranged by him. Besides, he and the other students didn’t know that Jing Xiaolu had become Ming Yang Entertainment’s chairperson. This event had nothing to do with Jing Xiaolu at all. The person that Yu Zai mentioned was definitely not Jing Xiaolu.

However, everyone still insisted on calling out Jing Xiaolu. This was definitely to embarrass him. For a moment, Zhang Kaiyuan didn’t know what to do. He couldn’t just go upstage and disrupt the host. He couldn’t give a speech either.

In fact, not only Zhang Kaiyuan, but also Jing Xiaolu did not know what to do.

Originally, Jing Xiaolu did not really care about what the host, Yu Zai, was saying. She thought stuff like giving a speech on the stage had already been arranged beforehand and would have nothing to do with her. It was also supposed to be like this. But the students who did not know the truth called out Jing Xiaolu’s name. The most infuriating part was that those students who knew the truth also followed suit.

However, after being shocked for a while, Jing Xiaolu guessed what had happened. She couldn’t help but be humored.

“Hey, everyone’s asking you to go on stage,” Yang Ming had also guessed what had happened and teased Jing Xiaolu.

“The one that’s supposed to go on stage is Zhang Kaiyuan, right?” Jing Xiaolu smiled. “Why should I go up? Besides, I haven’t prepared anything…”

Just when all the classmates were shouting Jing Xiaolu’s name, the host, Yu Zai, said, “Seems like everyone’s cheers are quite energetic! Then, as you all wish, I’ll let the most successful person everyone thinks of in this reunion to give us a speech. Please welcome the class’s most successful person- Zhang Kaiyuan!”

The host Yu Zai was following the script prepared beforehand. It must be said that he was a little brainless. He never heard the students below calling out Jing Xiaolu instead of Zhang Kaiyuan.

Yu Zai was originally an online author. However, because his books didn’t receive good reviews, he became a host instead. He was an amateur and had never experienced similar situations. He also did not notice what everyone was saying, so he just followed his script to call Zhang Kaiyuan on stage.

Yu Zai’s words caused the whole place to become quiet. Everyone blankly stared at the host, Yu Zai, and didn’t know what to say… Let Zhang Kaiyuan go on stage?

Jing Xiaolu did not feel anything. After all, she didn’t want to go on stage, so it didn’t matter who the host asked to go on stage. She did not have any other thoughts.

However, Zhang Kaiyuan was different. Right now, he was feeling very awkward. Under this situation, the host calling his name practically shamed him. This was really just shaming him.

Zhang Kaiyuan was blushing in shame. It was as if he was sitting on a fire pit, and didn’t know whether to continue sitting or to stand. If he were to go on stage now, it would be making things difficult for him. However, if he did not go on stage, then what was that just now?

The host Yu Zai still hadn’t noticed what was wrong despite the enveloping silence. When he saw that Zhang Kaiyuan did not come on stage like how they had practiced beforehand, he became a little anxious. He thought that Zhang Kaiyuan was ashamed to go on stage because there was no applause, so he said, “Everyone, please applaud this year’s Thirty Nine Middle School 02 Batch Sixth Class’s most successful person- Kaiyuan Trading Company’s CEO- Zhang Kaiyuan to come on stage!”

After he finished speaking, he took the initiative to clap first.

“Boom…” Someone below couldn’t hold it in anymore and started laughing loudly. Following their laughter, more and more people started to laugh, and some even started clapping. The sounds of claps and laughter filled the air. For those who didn’t know, they would have thought that some entertaining comedy was being played on stage.

This sudden and strange reaction confused Yu Zai. He thought, If you want to clap, just clap. Why are you all laughing? Am I very funny?

It seems like I have the potential to be a comedian. If I can’t continue being a host, then I can just become a comedian!

Zhang Kaiyuan never expected this Yu Zai to call him out a second time when the first time didn’t work. He even allowed the audience to clap! The clapping sounds were like slapping sounds, and it was as if they were slapping him multiple times on his face. He felt very shameful.

When he saw Zhang Kaiyuan not coming on stage, the clueless Yu Zai started speaking again. He thought that his humorous speech had caused everyone to laugh, so he said, “It seems like our most successful person is very shy! Everyone’s clapping sounds aren’t loud enough! Please clap louder!”

“Hua…” After host Yu Zai just finished speaking, the clapping sounds under the stage became more enthusiastic. However, some random student decided to play mischief, and shout Jing Xiaolu’s name loudly again, “Jing Xiaolu! Jing Xiaolu!”

“Hahahaha…” Laughing sounds started coming from below the stage again. After that, some people started to play along, “Jing XIaolu! Jing Xiaolu-”

Zhang Kaiyuan’s facial expression worsened. He had secretly scolded Yu Zai a hundred times already. However, he was helpless. He decided to not give Yu Zai any remuneration.

This time, host Yu Zai finally heard the name “Jing Xiaolu” clearly. Before this, when the audience was shouting “Jing Xiaolu”, he had heard it but did not pay any attention to it. Now, when he heard the name “Jing Xiaolu”, he came back to his senses. Did I call out the wrong person?

Is the one that’s supposed to go on stage Jing Xiaolu, not Zhang Kaiyuan?

Host Yu Zai broke out in a cold sweat once he thought of this. Am I so inexperienced as a host that I announced the wrong name? When he saw the audience calling out “Jing Xiaolu” so enthusiastically, host Yu Zai started to think that it was possible. He immediately took out the prepared script and started flipping through it.

Host Yu Zai clearly saw that the name on the script was “Zhang Kaiyuan” instead of “Jing Xiaolu”. He was confused. I didn’t call out the wrong name. Why is everyone calling “Jing Xiaolu”‘s name?

What on earth is going on?

Host Yu Zai looked at the audience and touched his hair. He then said, “Is everyone calling out the wrong name? The most successful person in this class should be Zhang Kaiyuan, right?”

“Haha…” Host Yu Zai’s words caused the students to laugh crazily again. Some even laughed to the point that their eyes started to tear up.

“Why is everyone laughing?” Host Yu Zai twisted and lowered his head, “Is the event I’m hosting that funny? I’m really glad!”

“Haha…” The audience laughed even more.

Host Yu Zai thought, I am really so talented! The atmosphere became lively because of me, and it has already reached the pinnacle. Other than me, who else has such charisma? I’m so proud!

“Everyone, while it’s ok to laugh, shouldn’t student Zhang Kaiyuan come on stage to give a speech?” Host Yu Zai said a little narcissistically, “Since you all enjoy my hosting so much, you can come and frequently watch me!”

“Haha…” The audience’s laughter still filled the air.

Chapter 1772: Prepared Beforehand

Host Yu Zai waited for a long time, yet he did not see Zhang Kaiyuan come on stage. The laughter was still continuing non-stop, which made Yu Zai anxious. It can’t just go on like this!

“CEO Zhang, shouldn’t you come up now?” Host Yu Zai couldn’t take it anymore and called Zhang Kaiyuan. “Why aren’t you coming on stage? I still have to host someone else’s wedding later!”

If intentions could kill, Zhan Kaiyuan would have long annihilated Yu Zai. He thought, If I don’t go up, you can just continue on to the next event. Why are you fixating on this?

Host Yu Zai was anxious when he saw that Zhang Kaiyuan was not coming on stage despite calling him again. “CEO Zhang, what is going on? Didn’t we arrange everything beforehand? You’re supposed to come on stage to give a speech. Why aren’t you coming up?”

“Haha…” After the audience heard host Yu Zai’s words, the laughter that had calmed down slightly started bursting out again.

“What is the meaning of this!” Host Yu Zai was a little unhappy. “Did you change the person or something? Why didn’t you tell me when you changed it to Jing Xiaolu? I thought that it was still Zhang Kaiyuan, and didn’t know about the change!”

“Haha…” The audience’s laughter was still very enthusiastic.

“Enough!” Zhang Kaiyuan finally couldn’t restrain himself anymore. He slapped the table and stood up, and pointed his finger at Yu Zai while scolding, “What’s wrong with you? Are there hosts like you? Do you not want the money anymore?”

“What’s wrong with me?” Yu Zai did not want to appear weak, so he stared at Zhang Kaiyuan. “You arranged everything, and I was just following it. How can you not give me money?”

“What do you mean by following everything I arranged? Don’t spout nonsense, get down quickly! You have nothing to do here anymore!” Zhang Kaiyuan became anxious when he heard the increasingly unreliable host Yu Zai exposing his arrangements.

“What do you mean by spouting nonsense?” Host Yu Zai said, “Didn’t you tell me before this? Before coming up on stage, you wanted to play an interactive game with the audience. You asked me to make them guess who’s the most successful person in the class, and then you would come on stage! What’s wrong? You don’t want to admit it?”

“What nonsense are you saying? I’ll complain to your boss! You’re spouting nonsense!” Zhang Kaiyuan was furious. His face was filled with anger as he bellowed.

“Complain? Sure! How did you know my boss’s name is Hu Shuo [1]? My boss’s surname is Hu, and his name is Shuo.”

“You…” Zhang Kaiyuan was so furious that he couldn’t say anything. He never expected Yu Zai to be so sly. However, he forgot about something. If a host wasn’t sly, he couldn’t be a host.

“Me? What about me? I guess you just don’t want to give me the money, right? But it doesn’t matter anymore. I don’t want your money either! What about CEO Zhang? You’re so shameless! What kind of CEO are you? And yet you still ask me to call you the most successful person in the class? What kind of accomplishments do you have? Aren’t you a little too narcissistic?” Host Yu Zai decided to go all out. Since it didn’t look like he would be receiving the money, he did not have to show Zhang Kaiyuan any respect anymore. “I guess the students below have sharper eyes. Since they all said that Jing Xiaolu was the most successful person, let me find out what’s the reason behind it.”

“You… You…” Yu Zai had hit Zhang Kaiyuan where it hurt the most. He grasped his heart, and almost fainted, “You… Scram…”

“I would be too lazy to stay here even if you asked me to.” Yu Zai snorted, “Go on being a narcissist. I won’t accompany you anymore. You can go complain if you want to. Bye-bye. Sayonara. CIAO!”

After host Yu Zai said this, he turned around and left stylishly. He left behind Zhang Kaiyuan who had a face full of anger.

After host Yu Zai left, the atmosphere of the reunion suddenly turned quiet. Only Zhang Kaiyuan was left standing blankly on the spot. As for the student who made the joke just now, he just did it unintentionally. He never expected the matter to go this far. Nor did he expect Zhang Kaiyuan to be unable to take a joke.

The atmosphere could not remain like this. If Zhang Kaiyuan did not finish his speech, the restaurant didn’t seem like they would serve the dishes. There was no other choice, so a student at the back shouted, “Let Zhang Kaiyuan say a few words for us. Everyone, what do you think?”

“Sure. Let’s have Zhang Kaiyuan give us a speech!” The audiences agreed.

However, this sentence sounded like satire to Zhang Kaiyuan’s ears. He felt like everyone was pitying him. Originally, he wasn’t supposed to be speaking. It should have been Jing Xiaolu. However, now that they were offering him a chance to speak, he was somewhat embarrassed.

“Let’s have Jing Xiaolu give us a speech instead!” Zhang Kaiyuan took a deep breath and said. “That Yu Zai just now has some mental illness. Don’t care about him. Just treat it as a comedy. Originally, at this stage, I only wanted to let the most successful person give a speech. However, Yu Zai wanted to please me so he could get paid more. So, he changed the plans himself. However, I didn’t expect him to accuse me out of anger after I exposed him…”

“Hehe, we know…” Although everyone was saying this, it was unknown what they were actually thinking. Zhang Kaiyuan’s explanation was a little too fake. No one would believe his words.

“I’ll pass. I didn’t prepare anything beforehand. How about we leave this chance for those who prepared something?” Jing Xiaolu stood up and said calmly. “Right, CEO Zhang of a large company?”

Jing Xiaolu’s words caused Zhang Kaiyuan’s face to blush until it was as red as a monkey’s butt. Although Jing Xiaolu did not say it clearly, she was hinting that he had prepared everything beforehand. Since she did not prepare anything, she would let Zhang Kaiyuan say what he wanted to say.

Although Jing Xiaolu’s words were humorous, everyone present was afraid to cause any more trouble and did not dare to simply laugh anymore. To avoid disrupting the new peaceful atmosphere, they could only laugh secretly in their hearts.

“CEO Zhang of a large company, please say a few words!” Everyone was hungry and wanted to eat something already. Right now, they did not bother whether Zhang Kaiyuan was the most successful person or not. Just let it be anyone who wanted to be it. Since Jing Xiaolu wasn’t fighting for it, there was no point for them to do so.

After Jing Xiaolu just finished her words, everyone agreed with her.

“Alright. Since everyone admires me so much, allow me to say a few sentences.” Right now, Zhang Kaiyuan could only pretend to not know. Sometimes, it wasn’t good to act like you know something. Since others pretended that they did not know anything, he was happy to go along with it.

After Zhang Kaiyuan finished speaking, he walked up on stage. Halfway up, he heard a sound coming from a distance away, “Show-off. Didn’t you still go on stage in the end? What does this mean?”

Zhang Kaiyuan was angered by this voice and his body trembled. He almost fell onto the ground. He looked at the source of the voice angrily, only to find out that Yu Zai, who had left just now, had reappeared by the door.

“You didn’t go up the stage when I asked you to, and yet you’re going up by yourself. From my perspective, you just don’t want to pay me. Such a prick,” Yu Zai’s voice rang out again.

“You…” Zhang Kaiyuan wanted to say something, but Yu Zai had disappeared. Zhang Kaiyuan could do nothing other than pretend he did not see anything. He continued walking onto the stage.

The few steps were like twenty thousand miles. Zhang Kaiyuan used all his strength and finally stood on the stage. He then said, “I thank everyone for giving me this opportunity to represent all students, and letting me give a speech at this class reunion…”

When he talked about the speech he had prepared for a few nights, Zhang Kaiyuan became excited again. Zhang Kaiyuan seemed to have forgotten about his previous unhappiness and was very enthusiastic about his speech.

However, while Zhang Kaiyuan was into his speech, the students had all become impatient. Just now, Yu Zai and Jing Xiaolu’s problems had already taken up a lot of time. Yet, Zhang Kaiyuan was giving out such a long speech now. When could they finally start eating?

It was really like what Jing Xiaolu said. Zhang Kaiyuan had prepared beforehand. Otherwise, how could he talk for so long? Everyone was a little displeased. We allowed you to go up to say a few sentences because we still respect you. Can’t you just say a few words? Can you not be so long-winded?

“Seems like Zhang Kaiyuan had really prepared beforehand?”
