Chapter 462 The Ultimate Die-Hard Fan Drama

This leader of Tangni Landor’s Ninghai fan club was crying and clinging to his thigh,making Su Rui feel deeply disgusted.

He had seen gross things before,but never anything this gross. If it were a beautiful woman begging him,that would be one thing,but it just had to be this fatty who looked like he could float away!

“Su Rui,Su Rui,you promised you’d get me VIP box tickets,or at the very least front floor seats. I’m the leader of Landor’s Ninghai fan club,and tomorrow night I still have to go pick her up at the airport. I already made big promises to the fan club members,and if I can’t even get concert tickets,what face do I have left to keep being their leader?”

Cao Tianping had been living in fear and under enormous pressure these past few days,feeling truly aggrieved. The moment he saw Su Rui,it was like a child who’d been away from home finally finding their mother,and all the emotions he’d been holding inside came pouring out at once.

Even a fatty has moments of grievance,okay!

“Tangni Landor is coming to Huaxia for a concert?” Su Rui only now caught the key point in Cao Tianping’s words,and said with some difficulty.

Hearing this,Cao Tianping’s expression turned even more indignant: “Didn’t you say you already knew? Didn’t you swear up and down that you’d get me tickets? How could you forget something so important?”

Tangni Landor was a superstar-level figure in Hollywood,with countless die-hard fans all over the world. She had developed across film,television,and music,and was thriving in every lane. Whenever she held a concert,even scalped tickets would be driven up to astronomical prices and snapped up instantly.

So Cao Tianping had almost concluded that Su Rui couldn’t get the tickets. No matter how capable he was,with only three days left before the concert,it was impossible to pull off such a monumental task!

Looking at Su Rui,the great group leader Cao felt his heart turn to ash!

But then,thinking about how Su Rui had even managed to get the uncut version of The Most Enchanting,a spark of hope rose again in Cao Tianping’s heart.

“Su Rui,I’m begging you,I’m begging you,you have to help me!” Cao Tianping knelt on the ground,shaking Su Rui’s thigh over and over.

By now,quite a few people in the marketing department’s open office had turned their eyes this way. A fatty clinging to a man’s thigh and sobbing — anyone with a functioning brain could figure out what was going on.

“Haven’t seen each other for a few days and they missed each other this much? Looks like those two really do have deep feelings for each other.”

“One’s so fat,one’s so thin — which one do you think is the top and which is the bottom?”

“Su Rui has to be the top. Otherwise,with that skinny frame of his,wouldn’t he get crushed to death by Cao Tianping?”

“I think so too. Su Rui is so dominant,Cao Tianping is so soft — isn’t it obvious who’s who?”

…This just goes to show how many fujoshi were in that office. If Su Rui had heard these comments,he would have gone crazy for days,and losing his mind entirely was also a real possibility.

“But wait,aren’t Su Rui and President Lin supposed to be a couple? So what’s the deal with Cao Tianping? A third party?”

You really had to hand it to these women — their imaginations were something else.

The women were enjoying the spectacle,but the men found it far more nauseating. Several male colleagues who caught a glimpse of Cao Tianping’s behavior all silently vowed never to associate with this guy again.

Cao Tianping kept rocking back and forth hugging Su Rui’s thigh,like a girl who’d been dumped,while Su Rui stared straight ahead,his mind already wandering far away.

So Tangni Landor was coming. This Hollywood superstar-level woman drove countless men wild wherever she went. So many wolves had longed to get close to her but never could — yet Su Rui wanted nothing more than to stay as far away as possible.

Because this woman was simply too intensely passionate,more than anyone could handle.

Just like her blockbuster this year,The Most Enchanting — the 26-year-old Tangni Landor was also known as the most captivating woman in the world. Since her debut at sixteen,she had always gone the sexy route. Her swimsuit ads were everywhere,even a beach vacation of hers could make front-page news,and every public appearance had a high probability of causing a stampede — there was nothing to be done about it,Tangni Landor’s appeal was simply enormous,to the point of captivating both men and women alike.

Countless men lay awake at night with her bikini posters. Countless fans quit their jobs just to travel to see her concerts. Countless directors dangled olive branches at her and got nowhere!

And Tangni Landor’s scorching blockbuster this year,The Most Enchanting,swept the globe,leading the box office charts in country after country. Even though some of the steamier scenes were cut when it was released in Huaxia,in just two short weeks after its release,it still pulled in an unprecedented 2 billion at the domestic box office!

This was without question a superstar of the highest order. No matter how alluring any other celebrity might be,they’d be reduced to dust beside her. Sure,there were plenty of women in the entertainment world with bigger chests,rounder figures,and prettier faces — but put it all together,and their combined sex appeal still fell far behind hers!

As for why Su Rui was so afraid of this woman,there were deep historical reasons behind it.

Su Rui was still lost in his recollections,and Cao Tianping was still devotedly hugging his thigh,neither of them noticing that President Lin Aoxue had already appeared behind them. The whispers throughout the marketing department’s open office had long since gone silent.

“Su Rui,Su Rui,you can’t just abandon me like this. How could you bear to throw me away like this…” Cao Tianping was still wailing with tears and snot streaming down his face,and he rubbed his face against Su Rui’s thigh to wipe his tears.

A fatty doing something like that to a man was truly too much to stomach — it was practically on par with Chen Lei Gang’s legendary feat of drinking phlegm that day.

Lin Aoxue cleared her throat loudly,and only then did Su Rui and Cao Tianping snap back to their senses.

Lin Aoxue’s expression was ice-cold. She shot a glare at the two of them that made Cao Tianping shudder involuntarily.

“During work hours,office romances are strictly prohibited. If it happens again,you can see yourselves out.”

With that,Lin Aoxue turned and left the hall,leaving two men staring at each other and a crowd of colleagues with their jaws on the floor.

“What the — office romance?”

Hearing those words,then looking down at Cao Tianping clinging to his thigh with an innocent expression,Su Rui nearly died of disgust!

Damn you,Lin Aoxue — if you want to mess with me,did you have to go this far? Me and this fatty in an office romance? Do I have any dignity left at all?

Cao Tianping,however,had absolutely no awareness of the situation,and instead scratched his head and laughed: “President Lin really does have a sense of humor.”

“Humor my ass!”

Su Rui angrily kicked Cao Tianping to the ground,then stormed back to his seat — which he hadn’t sat at in quite some time — crossed his legs,and sulked.

This Lin Aoxue had gone too far. Sending him to the cold palace was one thing,but now she’d slapped him with the label of “office romance”!

And besides,if he were going to have an office romance,if the other person were a beauty like Xia Qing or Zhou Anke,Su Rui could at least accept it — but it just had to be this blob of a fatty,Cao!

A man needs his face,a tree needs its bark,and a telephone pole needs its concrete. Being slandered like this,of course Su Rui couldn’t let it go!

“Hey,you all saw it — even the president thinks this is an office romance between Su Rui and Cao Tianping!”

“Right,so it looks like Su Rui isn’t our group’s son-in-law after all!”

“But even if they are gay,Su Rui’s taste is really something else. Out of everyone he could pick,he picks Cao Tianping. Just imagine the two of them doing that — all that fat jiggling around… tsk tsk.”

Su Rui had sharp hearing,and these nearby whispers reached his ears without filter,giving him the Nth urge to die today!

Cao Tianping,completely oblivious,came running back over and shook Su Rui’s arm: “Su Rui,you can’t abandon me — you absolutely have to get me those concert tickets!”

Su Rui sat there fuming,not saying a word. This damn fatty had really done a number on him!

“This is Tangni Landor’s first concert in Ninghai since her debut — a once-in-a-century opportunity I absolutely cannot miss. Su Rui,I know you must have a way,right?”

If you weren’t a fan,it was truly hard to understand how someone could become so fanatically devoted to a celebrity. But on this point,Su Rui actually understood it fairly well. He had once passionately longed for something himself. Though for various reasons he had eventually let it go,that feeling remained clearly etched in his heart,never forgotten.

“Group Leader Cao,Fatty Cao,stop shaking me. Here’s the deal — let’s make a trade. As long as you agree to my terms,I’ll get you the tickets.” Su Rui let out a sigh. He really had no good way of dealing with this fatty.

“A trade?” Cao Tianping looked puzzled,as if a pie had fallen from the sky and he didn’t know how to catch it: “Why do we need to make a trade? Didn’t you say back then you’d give me a ticket for free?”

“Back then was back then!” Su Rui said,thoroughly irritated. If he didn’t make this iron rooster bleed a little,he’d never feel balanced inside.

This guy had turned him into a gay man — getting a little interest back from him wasn’t too much to ask,was it?

“If you’re willing to put up 200,000 as a small-scale sponsorship for Tangni Landor’s concert,I can get your name displayed on the big screen at the venue.” Su Rui said.

“200,000 for a name? Are you serious?”

Cao Tianping was skeptical: “200,000 — that’s almost two years of my salary!”

Su Rui said impatiently: “You have to spend money to make money. Think about it — this is a globally live-streamed concert. If your name appears on that big screen,Landor fans all over the world will see it. That’s an honor they couldn’t buy even if they begged for it. Right now you’re just the Ninghai fan club leader — that’s a small title. And yet you’re this unambitious! Haven’t you ever thought about raising your prestige and becoming the president of Landor’s global fan support association?”

“The global president?”

Hearing those words,Cao Tianping’s breathing instantly grew hot with excitement!

He slapped his thigh hard,as if making some momentous decision,and said: “Su Rui,as long as you come through this time,I’ll pay whatever it takes!”
