Supremely Talented Tyrant

"How do you know he's a scoundrel? Have you ever interacted with him? Do you understand him? If you don't know anything, then don't talk nonsense!" Zhao Yating scolded harshly, annoyed by Zhao Kuangyi's prejudgment.

"Just a scoundrel, what's there to like," Zhao Kuangyi muttered under his breath.

"Yes, he is a scoundrel, but even if he is one, he wouldn't fancy me!" Zhao Yating cried out of grievance, feeling bitter at the thought.

If Zhao Kuangyi called Hao Jian a scoundrel, and Hao Jian didn't like her, did that mean she was even worse than a scoundrel?

"Hey, why are you crying? It's just a scoundrel; is he really worth your tears?" Seeing Zhao Yating cry, Zhao Kuangyi suddenly panicked. He had always doted on his sister, from childhood until now, so he was naturally afraid seeing her like this.

"What do you understand? He's really nice, anyway people just like whatever they like!" Zhao Yating stubbornly said.

"Dad won't allow you to mess around like this, he's arranged a blind date for you tonight. He specifically asked me to come and tell you, so get yourself ready and come home with me later!" Zhao Kuangyi commanded Zhao Yating.

"I won't!" Zhao Yating hated blind dates the most because they were too purpose-driven, and why should others meddle in her marriage?

Zhao Yating grabbed Zhao Kuangyi's hand and coaxed, "Brother, please go back and tell Dad I'm not feeling well and can't come back today."

Zhao Kuangyi shook his head, "There's no way around it. He already knew you would react like this, so before coming here, he gave me a strict order. If you don't go back, he will disown you!"

"Let him disown me, who's afraid of whom?" Zhao Yating said nonchalantly, but tears started swirling in her eyes.

"Don't be impulsive; I'm on your side. I'm giving you a chance. Bring that boyfriend of yours home tonight. If he can win over the old man, you'll still have a chance. If not, you'll just have to fend for yourself. This time, the old man is really keen on that guy, whose status and position are way above ours," Zhao Kuangyi cautioned.

"So I'm just supposed to be a sacrificial lamb for a marriage alliance?" Zhao Yating said discontentedly.

Zhao Kuangyi sighed, "What can we do? You're part of the Zhao Family. Although I don't believe that scoundrel can hold a candle to that guy, it's still better to try than to give up without a fight."

"But he's not my boyfriend," Zhao Yating said hesitantly. How could she possibly approach Hao Jian?

"Then let him pretend. If he's not even willing to help you with this small favor, or if he's scared, then such a man isn't worth your affection," Zhao Kuangyi said indifferently.

"Teacher Hao Jian wouldn't be scared, he's fearless!" Zhao Yating exclaimed loudly. She was confident in Hao Jian and sure that he would help if she asked.

"I hope so," Zhao Kuangyi sneered, harboring a personal vendetta. Although it seemed like he was looking out for Zhao Yating, he also wanted to see Hao Jian humiliated, to repay the grievance from earlier today!

"You'll regret bringing him along!" Just then, a light voice chimed in; Che Xiaoxiao had woken up.

"Why would you say that?" Zhao Kuangyi looked at Che Xiaoxiao with dissatisfaction.

"Because you underestimate him. Since you underestimate him, you'll surely try to humiliate him, and the moment you do, you'll bring humiliation upon yourselves!" Che Xiaoxiao said with a slight smile, then slowly stood up and straightened her clothes. "Alright, I'm leaving. You should evaluate yourselves."

Right after, Che Xiaoxiao pushed the door open and walked out.

"Look at you, who are you associating with?" Zhao Kuangyi was exasperated.

.......

Hao Jian and Sun Xinya arrived at the press conference venue, where a middle-aged woman wearing glasses and slightly overweight immediately greeted them anxiously, "Oh dear, why have you only arrived now? The press conference is about to start. Hurry up and get your makeup done."

Ever since the last incident, Sun Xinya had changed her manager, and this woman was the new one.

Sun Xinya quickly nodded, then said to Hao Jian, "Let's go in."

"Who is he? Sun Xinya, my dear, this is a press conference. You can't bring unrelated people inside. What if the reporters take photos? Who knows what they'll write about then?" The woman said helplessly.

"Sister Qin, he's not any unrelated person. He's my... um, bodyguard!" Sun Xinya replied.

Hao Jian was stunned. This woman really made him out to be a bodyguard?

"Bodyguard?" Sister Qin was surprised upon hearing this and then scrutinized Hao Jian for a moment, saying with some dissatisfaction, "Sun Xinya, I don't mean to criticize, but how could you let your bodyguard dress like a ragpicker? It's embarrassing. Aren't you paid well enough to buy him some decent clothes? You know you're a public figure; not only do you need to look glamorous, but your bodyguard should too, otherwise, people will think we're so low-class."

Hearing this, Hao Jian glanced down at his clothing and felt a bead of sweat roll down his forehead.

From this moment on, he began to dislike this Sister Qin.

Sun Xinya couldn't help but laugh, glaring at Hao Jian and teasing, "What's the matter, can't spare a few bucks to buy some decent clothes?"

Hao Jian: "..."

He felt an overwhelming urge to execute Sun Xinya right then and there.

"Alright, alright, we'll talk about this later. Hurry to the backstage; it's getting late," Sister Qin urged.

Then, Hao Jian went with Sun Xinya to the backstage, getting ready for the upcoming press conference.

Sun Xinya was mainly there to promote her new song. She performed a tune at the conference and then started signing autographs for her fans.

Hao Jian was bored out of his mind, yawning continuously.

Sister Qin frowned disapprovingly at Hao Jian's lazy demeanor, as he sat back in his chair, legs crossed. This was no bodyguard's posture; this was the demeanor of a master!

In her heart, Sister Qin decided she would have Sun Xinya fire Hao Jian afterwards.

The autograph session with Sun Xinya and her fans was going smoothly at first, until a man wearing a duckbill cap and carrying a bag appeared.

The man was dressed plainly, wearing sunglasses and a duckbill cap as if he was afraid of being noticed.

At this moment, Hao Jian also frowned, his nose twitching, puzzled by the smell. Why was there an odor of feces?

By then, the man had made his way into the crowd and slowly approached Sun Xinya. After the person in front of him finished getting an autograph, it would be his turn next.

The man in the duckbill cap seemed to be adjusting the bag in his hand, as though he was preparing for something.

Someone is really causing trouble? Hao Jian's mind tensed up, knowing he could not just sit by any longer, so he stood up and walked toward the stage.

The man opened his bag, but just as he was about to act, a flying kick came out of nowhere, sending him flying.

"Wow!"

Everyone was shocked, and both Sun Xinya and Sister Qin were startled. Why was Hao Jian attacking someone for no reason? This was the venue of a new song release, with countless fans and reporters present!

The reporters seized the moment, frantically snapping photos with their cameras.

Seeing this, Sister Qin's face turned sour, and then she walked up to Hao Jian and angrily demanded, "Have you lost your mind? Why are you assaulting a fan for no reason?"

If this got reported, it could negatively impact Sun Xinya's reputation, and as her company-appointed agent, it would surely affect her as well.

"He's not a fan." From the guy's actions and attire, Hao Jian was certain he wasn't a fan. His presence here was definitely to embarrass Sun Xinya.

"Who says I'm not a fan? I am a loyal fan of Sun Xinya!" the man immediately shouted back, accusingly asking Sun Xinya, "Can't I even get an autographed photo of my idol? Sun Xinya, I've liked you so much, and this is how you treat your fan?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Xinya's fans also wore odd expressions, feeling angry at the thought of being assaulted for asking for an autograph.

"Sun Xinya, what's the meaning of this? Why is your bodyguard hitting people randomly?" Sister Qin was furious and demanded an answer from Sun Xinya.

"This..." Sun Xinya couldn't explain and could only look at Hao Jian with confusion.

"A fan, you say?" Just then, Hao Jian sneered as he walked toward the man.

"What are you doing? You want to hit people again? Is there no law anymore? Fine, I'll give up on Sun Xinya's autograph—I won't support her anymore!" the man said angrily.

Seeing Hao Jian's actions, other fans couldn't help but boil with rage, furious. Wasn't one beating enough, and now he's ready for a second?

"You're still pretending at this point?" Hao Jian grabbed the bag that had fallen to the ground.

"What are you doing? That's my stuff, give it back to me!" The man panicked instantly upon seeing this and reached out to snatch the bag from Hao Jian's hands.

"Fine, I'll give it back to you!" Hao Jian kicked the ground and threw the bag back, then everyone saw it arc through the air, and a dark, mushy substance spilled out.

The substance landed directly on the man's head, and a disgusting stench immediately permeated the air.

"So foul!"

A group of people instantly covered their noses, nearly passing out from the overpowering stink.

Sun Xinya and Sister Qin were stunned. Why did this man bring a bag of feces to a launch event? Their faces quickly turned grim, obviously realizing the reason.

"You say you're a fan of Sun Xinya, so tell me, why did you bring a bag of feces to Sun Xinya's new song release?" Hao Jian asked with a cold laugh.
