Chapter 55 Chen. Speed and Passion. Ran
Around 12:30 pm, at the SBS television station building.
Chen Ran walked out of the building, got into his car, and prepared to go to his family's restaurant for dinner.
Anyway, it's not far away, only about 3 kilometers.
The key point is that the food definitely tastes better than SBS's cafeteria, and it's free.
I was supposed to have lunch with director Li Yingfu, but he had another appointment.
As for producer Jiang...
After the audition ended this morning, he said with a forced smile, "I'm leaving now," and left alone.
Thinking of Park Se-young's situation, Chen Ran couldn't help but smile as he fastened his seatbelt.
He wasn't really worried about the risk of offending certain people at the TV station.
He's not without backing.
Before the audition, Chen Ran had already asked Yin Helin for his opinion on how to handle similar situations.
Yin Helin smiled and said, "You are the screenwriter, so you can make your own decisions. If you think it will affect the quality of the show, then go with your idea. We are the producers and investors, not just the TV station."
"However, we should be wary of them doing anything underhanded on set."
Chen Ran tapped his fingers lightly on the steering wheel and murmured.
However, he wasn't too worried.
When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it.
Chen Ran started the car and drove towards his family's restaurant.
We drove smoothly and at a steady speed on the road, and there was still some distance to the intersection. The green light had 5 seconds left.
Knowing there wasn't enough time to cross, Chen Ran gradually reduced his speed, applied the brakes at the intersection, and came to a steady stop in front of the solid line.
The red light at this intersection is very long, lasting a full 90 seconds.
Chen Ran looked around.
Because it was lunchtime on a weekday, there was very little traffic on the roads.
At that moment, a nanny van drove up from the right lane and stopped next to Chen Ran's car.
Chen Ran glanced at it.
"Adu"
A message notification tone suddenly sounded.
Chen Ran looked away and picked up the phone that was placed to the side.
It was a message from Jessica Jung.
[I heard from Krystal that you gave her a high score during your audition.]
Chen Ran smiled slightly and replied: Xiujing acted really well.
The message showed as read, but before any new messages appeared in the chat interface, a pop-up window appeared at the top of the screen.
[Naver Hot Topic: Tara member Hwayoung mistakenly reveals her dorm address]
Did a member reveal their dormitory address?
Chen Ran clicked on it out of curiosity.
The page redirects automatically.
The incident started simply because Tara member Hwayoung posted a selfie on her dorm bed half an hour ago on social media.
It was a normal update, but it accidentally included the dormitory's location.
Although she quickly realized the problem and deleted the post a minute later.
But quick-thinking netizens had already taken screenshots and posted them online.
Tara is a top-tier girl group from the Korean Peninsula, and the topic itself generates buzz. The incident quickly escalated, and related keywords eventually topped Naver's trending list.
Chen Ran glanced at the comments section.
Many fans are worried that the exposure of the dormitory address will attract anti-fans to besiege the dormitory, and many anti-fans are already clamoring that they are on their way to the dormitory.
Chen Ran casually scrolled down, and a comment caught his eye.
[Is Park Jiyeon dead today?: Look what I found~ Park Jiyeon is in that van in front~ I'm so lucky today, I went to a coffee shop with my friend and I actually ran into Park Jiyeon.]
And do you know what the biggest surprise is? This van actually belongs to IU! The three of them got into the van together. I posted the photo in the group chat, and someone recognized another person – it was Sulli from f(x)!
Tsk, thank God, I've run into the three people I hate most all at once! I've already gotten into their car, just wait and see how I'm going to mess with them, hahahaha~
Below the comment, a photo of the car in front was also attached.
Upon seeing the name Choi Sulli, Chen Ran's already furrowed brows instantly tightened.
He quickly clicked on the photo to take a look.
A black van, the license plate number is...
"Beep beep"
Suddenly, a loud horn blared from behind.
Chen Ran realized what was happening, looked up, and saw that the red light at the intersection had turned green.
He quickly started the car and drove through the intersection, but his brows remained furrowed.
Anti-fans have their eyes on that van, and the crucial point is that Choi Sulli was also in that van.
With one hand on the steering wheel and the other holding his phone, Chen Ran noted down the license plate number of the nanny van and prepared to call the police.
"Beep beep"
Suddenly, a sharp horn blared from the right front.
Chen Ran subconsciously looked up.
Then I saw a gray Hyundai in front of me pull over to a minivan in the right lane.
"squeak-"
A loud screeching sound filled the air as tires rubbed against the road.
"Beep beep"
The van narrowly swerved to avoid the gray Hyundai, then immediately accelerated to increase the distance between itself and the van, followed by a sharp honking of its horn, clearly a warning.
The gray Hyundai seemed completely oblivious, then sped up and followed, moving closer to the van once more.
The van veered off course again to avoid the obstacle.
"Holy crap, they're making Fast and Furious movies."
Chen Ran stared blankly at the scene before him, and subconsciously slowed down.
The next second, his pupils suddenly contracted.
The license plate number of that nanny van...
It's IU's van!
Chen Ran snapped out of his daze and immediately dialed the police.
After explaining the situation, he stepped on the gas without much hesitation.
---
At this moment, the atmosphere in the nanny van, which had once again been deliberately cut off, was extremely tense.
The driver was tense, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly, his eyes constantly watching the gray Hyundai behind him that had just been pulled a little behind.
In the passenger seat, Lee Ji-eun's manager, Han Te, launched into a tirade:
"Madman! Madman! You damned son of a bitch!"
After he finished cursing, he turned to Choi Sulli, Lee Ji-eun, and Park Ji-yeon sitting in the back row and said:
"Fasten your seatbelts. Don't worry, I've already called the police, and they're on their way."
The three people in the back row were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They couldn't even reply and just instinctively pulled on their seatbelts.
They knew they had encountered those relentlessly dedicated anti-fans.
The three men's hands trembled violently as they fastened the seatbelts, and it took them quite a while to finally buckle them.
Just then, the van suddenly veered violently again.
The enormous reaction force caused the three of them to fall uncontrollably to the right.
"what!"
"Damn it!"
Screams and curses echoed throughout the carriage.
In the adjacent lane, a gray Hyundai, having just finished another playful act, rolled down its window.
The two young men in the driver's and passenger's seats gave the nanny van driver a disdainful smile.
"Come on, let's play with them a little longer."
The man in the passenger seat had just finished speaking when he noticed a black Volvo had appeared in front of them.
From the car in front, Chen Ran glanced at the white Hyundai behind him through the rearview mirror.
Then he rolled down the right window and said to the driver of the nanny van who was accelerating up from the right again:
"Step on the gas again to accelerate."
Upon hearing the sound and seeing Chen Ran's serious expression, the driver disregarded everything else and instinctively stepped on the gas.
Seeing the van accelerate and pull away, Chen Ran closed the window again and focused his attention on the gray Hyundai behind him that was preparing to overtake and catch up with the van.
Chen Ran tightened his grip on the steering wheel, took a deep breath, glanced at the gray Hyundai that had already changed lanes in the rearview mirror, and suddenly smiled.
Try out some speed and passion!
