Chapter 1436: 1436

Noon .

Packing the luggage .

Taking the suitcase .

Zhang Ye took the elevator downstairs . When he stepped out, he realized that all of the Asakusa Hotel’s staff were standing there looking at him . He walked to the front desk and took out some documents .

Zhang Ye said, “Checking out . “

Immediately .

The receptionist took it from him .

In the next second .

The receptionist handed the passport back to him .

She said speedily, “It’s done!”

Zhang Ye said, “That fast?”

The receptionist said, wiping off her sweat, “Yes, that’s right . “

Zhang Ye nodded and turned around to leave .

Many of the staff watched him as he made his way out .

Zhang Ye said, “It’s fine, you guys don’t have to see me out . “

The staff were surprised . “Ah?”

Zhang Ye said, “Go back to work, y’all . “

Who’s seeing you out!

Which of your eyes are telling you that we’re seeing you out?

When Zhang Ye exited the hotel, he stood outside on the sidewalk and stretched himself . Then he flipped open his bag and took out a face mask and sunglasses to put them on . When it was time to stand out, he would stand out . Now that the Asakusa Hotel incident was handled, it was time to keep a low profile again . He crossed the road and came to the hotel opposite .

Upstairs .

He knocked on the door .

The door was opened by Little Wang .

Little Wang was taken aback . “Director Zhang?”

Little Zhou came running out . “Ah, Director Zhang is back! Are you alright?”

Zhang Ye smiled and said, “What could possibly happen to me?”

Little Sun said loudly, “Teacher Zhang, you were amazing!”

Little Wang said, “Yeah, and the issue has been resolved too!”

Zhang Ye chuckled . “Alright, alright, since that issue has been handled, let’s get down to business here . I didn’t exactly come to Japan for them anyway . It was just a by-the-by thing . “

Ha Qiqi laughed and said, “The comic series is currently being handled . “

“Alright, then let’s get me a room,” Zhang Ye said .

Little Wang said happily, “OK, I’ll go and process it!”

Little Wang took Zhang Ye’s passport and headed downstairs without a second thought .

About five to six minutes later, Little Wang came back to the room with a look of speechlessness . She was followed by several of the hotel’s managers who looked horrified .

A female manager hurriedly said, “Teacher Zhang, we don’t have any rooms left . There’s really no more rooms left . “

Little Zhou said, “But that’s impossible . Aren’t there still a lot of empty rooms?”

A male manager wiped at his sweat and said, “There really aren’t any left, none at all . Can you find somewhere else to stay at, please? Thank you in advance . How about this? We’ll foot the bill at this hotel . Let us pay for it!”

The few of them looked alarmed and jittery .

…

Later that afternoon .

They switched to a different hotel .

When the receptionist took their passports from them, they were shocked!

“Ah! Zhang Ye!”

“We’d like to check in . “

“There are no more rooms . They’ve all been booked!”

“Weren’t you checking in other guests just a moment ago?”

“There are really no rooms left!”

“We don’t mind a standard room . “

“The standard rooms are also not available anymore!”

…

They switched to yet another hotel .

The receptionist at this hotel had the same expression as the one at the previous hotel and immediately made a call to the hotel manager .

When the manager learned about this, they nearly pissed their pants . “Don’t accept his booking! You must not accept it! Just tell them that our hotel is full! If that doesn’t work, stop all business operations! Don’t process any more bookings from any customers!”

The hotel was in turmoil!

They got so scared that they nearly wanted to stop their business operations!

. . .

In the end, a hotel that had a Chinese owner ended up hosting Zhang Ye . Although the hotel was not big and the place a little out of the way, the environment was pretty good .

The owner was a fat man who was very warm and welcoming .

Ha Qiqi smiled and said, “We finally found a place to stay at . “

The fat boss laughed heartily . “Don’t worry, just stay here as you like . You don’t have to pay and I welcome you all to stay for as long as you want . Just do as you please and make yourselves at home!”

Zhang Ye said, “That won’t do . We still have to pay what is due . “

But the fat owner said, “I would ask to get paid if it were anyone other than you . You would be insulting me if you insisted . If you want to pay me, then I don’t welcome you here, haha . I guarantee you that no other hotel in Tokyo will take your booking . They’re in a state of panic right now . Not long after the Asakusa Hotel ended their press conference, I heard that many of the hotels in Tokyo started adopting stricter measures when processing new bookings . As long as it’s a room booking from a charity or China, the managers will make sure to screen the bookings personally . They’re all doing so because they’re afraid that you’ll somehow end up staying at their place . They’re assuming you’re like a ticking time bomb . “

Little Wang and Little Zhou laughed but did not say anything .

A time bomb?

With that mouth of Director Zhang’s, he’s definitely much worse than a time bomb!

Finally, everyone settled down .

After Zhang Ye returned to his room, he charged his phone . Only now did he realize he had missed a lot of calls . Just as he was about to return some of them, a call came in .

“Hello, Mom . “

“Why couldn’t I get through for so long?”

“Hai, I just charged my cell phone . “

“Did you get hurt?”

“No, I’m fine . “

“You rascal! You’re such a troublemaker . I should’ve known that nothing good would come out of your overseas trip!”

“Haha, how’s Old Wu?”

“She’s pretty good . I go over every day to prepare meals for Zeqing . “

“It’s been hard on you, Mom . I’ll be going home in another two days . “

“Come home quickly . “

Zhang Xia .

Yao Jiancai .

Chen Guang .

Xu Meilan .

The calls from his friends and relatives were coming in one after another .

Zhang Ye answered them all .

When evening fell, everyone gathered in the room and had a meeting .

Ha Qiqi said, “Director Zhang, if you’re going to do something next time, can you please inform us in advance? Let us be mentally prepared so that we don’t have to be so shocked . Do you know how terrified we were during these past several days when the hotel you were staying at got surrounded by all those people? We couldn’t even sleep well . “

However, Zhang Ye brushed it off . “It’s no big deal . “

Little Zhou gave a bitter laugh . “It might not be a big deal to you, but it affected us greatly . Coming out on a business trip with you nearly gave me a heart attack this time . Director Zhang, please don’t take me along the next time you go on any business trips . This one time is more than enough for me . ” Pausing, she sighed and then said, “But I’ve also benefited from this . Having gone through all these major incidents with you on this trip, I won’t have anything to be afraid of if I ever encounter another major incident in the future . This is such good training . “

Little Wang giggled and said, “Right, if you’ve worked with Director Zhang, you’ve seen it all . “

Little Sun asked, “Is our Asian popularity going to go up again?”

Ha Qiqi looked at her watch . “We’ll find out in a while . “

But Zhang Ye didn’t seem to have thought about this . He hadn’t checked the rankings either in these past several days . “Did it go up again?”

Ha Qiqi smiled and said, “After reaching the middle of the Asian A-list rankings, your position didn’t really move . But during these past several days, it went up by a little again . After all, the fallout from the Asakusa Hotel incident was quite widespread . Who in the whole of Asia does not know about it? With that issue now settled, there will surely be another outbreak of popularity . Just have a look at the Internet and the news . For the entire day today, besides in China, many of the other Asian countries, including Korea and Japan, are talking about you and discussing this matter . This time, even the Koreans are praising you, so let’s hope that there will be a pleasant surprise later . “

Zhang Ye said, “Alright, let’s wait and see then . “

An hour .

Two hours .

Everyone sat in the room and chatted while drinking tea .

Similarly, many people and industry insiders from China, Japan, Korea, and other countries were also waiting for the Asian Celebrity Rankings Index to be updated . They were also curious to see Zhang Ye’s ranking .

When it was time .

They saw it .

One spot!

Two spots!

On the Asian Celebrity Rankings Index, Zhang Ye’s name had actually advanced by two spots!

…

China .

“What the heck!”

“Quick, look at the Asian Celebrity Rankings!”

“It’s risen again! Zhang Ye’s popularity has risen again!”

“Eh?”

“He can even increase his popularity like this?”

“Amazing, My Lord Zhang!”

…

Japan .

“What?”

“Why has his popularity gone up again?”

“That damned hooligan! Why does his popularity get higher the more he scolds people!”

“Who knows! How infuriating!”

“After scolding so many of our Japanese celebrities, his popularity can still rise?”

…

Korea .

“He advanced by two spots?”

“This fellow has gotten closer to reaching the summit of Asia again?”

“Surely not, right?”

“How much more ironic can it get!”

“Yeah, I’ve never come across something like this before!”

“How could his popularity have gone up by so much this time!”

…

Two rankings . That might not be a lot if it were the Asian C-list rankings . It would still be acceptable if it was on the Asian B-list rankings . But the Asian A-list rankings were different . In this list, every position change required a huge amount of popularity to be earned . If that was even the case for one position change, then it was all the more so for two position changes!

Countless people were dumbfounded!

A lot of them were at a loss!

You can even do that?

Are you seriously considering fighting your way to becoming an Asian Heavenly King?

In all of history, never had there been a celebrity who grew their popularity in such a way!
