Over-the-top inhumanity! With traffic congestion at the Jiangnan Bridge, a Porsche owner actually called a private helicopter to fly over the congested section!
This hot search immediately dominated Weibo's headlines, as Fang Jueyu didn't obscure his license plate, which was even exposed online.
Moreover, a huge helicopter hauling a car through the sky was too conspicuous, and nearly everyone who saw it couldn't resist taking photos or videos, as such an event is a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence.
Liu Yimou and many veteran members had already arrived at the China Joy venue, among them was another figure wearing a duckbill cap, accompanied by a strikingly beautiful Internet celebrity; this person was undoubtedly Wang Cong.
High-profile, fond of Internet celebrities, wealthy—these were his biggest tags, but he himself didn't shun these labels, as they were indeed the most fitting descriptions of himself!
"Come and check this out!" on Wang Cong's phone was a video of the Cayenne being towed into the sky by a massive helicopter, a scene so audacious it would seldom be attempted even in movies.
"Holy cow! Isn't this way too awesome?" Liu Yimou snatched Wang Cong's phone to repeatedly verify the authenticity of the video.
"I thought I was high-profile enough, but it turns out there are even more outrageous people in the world; getting a private helicopter to retrieve a car stuck on the highway is just too exaggerated, isn't it?" Wang Cong exclaimed.
"But this person is really strange; that Cayenne is only about a million yuan, which pales in comparison to the helicopter!" Liu Yimou's teammate, Shadow, commented.
With their net worth, although they couldn't afford the helicopter, they could afford the car: "This helicopter wouldn't happen to be from that new app called 'Hail-A-Helicopter,' would it? I remember they offer helicopter services, just a bit pricy!"
"No, that helicopter is a private one!" Wang Cong declared, "Three years ago, I saw it when I went with my dad to a private auction in the United States—it was a decommissioned attack helicopter that had been modified, and it was sold for 120 million yuan to an anonymous tycoon from our country!"
"Principal Wang, did your dad not want to buy it?" Liu Yimou asked—Principal Wang was Wang Cong's nickname, favored by his friends and online followers.
"How could he? My dad also bid, but he stopped when he reached 100 million US dollars."
"What, the helicopter wasn't worth that price?"
"Of course not, but my dad seemed to recognize the person who was bidding, and it looked like many people at that auction were giving him face; nobody would bid too outrageously on items he wanted."
Remembering that mysterious bidder in the VIP room, Wang Cong was still very curious. With participants like the Rothschild family and the Morgan family at the auction, everyone giving face to that mysterious buyer, his identity surely was awe-inspiring.
"So, you mean to say that man might be connected to that mysterious tycoon?"
"Highly likely!" Wang Cong nodded, wishing he could meet that man if he ever had the chance.
"Hey, look at Weibo, that helicopter seems to be headed towards the China Joy venue!" Liu Yimou's other teammate, Sun Long, called out.
"No way?" They thought the man might have some urgent meeting or similar important affair to attend by choosing such a mode of transport, but was he just aiming to get to the show early by helicopter? Wasn't that excessively extravagant?
"Let's go! Let's go out and see!" Wang Cong couldn't care less about the sultry Internet celebrity by his side. To him, the identity of the car owner was much more alluring.
The Internet celebrity stomped her foot in frustration but quickly grabbed her Lv bag and followed him; how many people were in line to be Wang Cong's girlfriend? Even just a week would bring her countless benefits; she couldn't just throw it all away mid-way!
"Roar roar roar!" The loud engine noise came from the sky, and sure enough, the helicopter landed outside the China Joy venue! Many people who heard the news had already formed a huge circle outside, waiting to see the true face of this car owner.
"It's over; I'm probably going to be famous now!" Fang Jueyu's face was bitter, as there were at least hundreds of people surrounding him, and he knew that countless cameras would target him the moment he stepped out of the car, making it impossible to stay low-key.
"I should have never asked Xiaoying Sister for this favor!" Fang Jueyu repented as his flashy entrance may have been a tad too ostentatious.
At last, Fang Jueyu's helicopter landed, and the four well-trained men in black once again descended from the helicopter, gathered the ropes tied to the car, and swiftly returned to the aircraft.
"Mission accomplished, returning!" The helicopter roared tremendously and soon disappeared into the sky.
Immediately, the Porsche became the center of attention, with the crowd surrounding it so densely that Fang Jueyu couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
"I have no choice but to call for help!" Fang Jueyu immediately dialed Liu Yimou's number, "Teacher Park, save me!"
"Chairman Lu, you've arrived? Where are you? What do you mean by 'save me'?" Liu Yimou was utterly confused by Fang Jueyu's words.
"That... my private helicopter dropped me off right at the entrance of the venue, and it's swarming with people... I'm afraid I'll get devoured as soon as I get out of the car. Is there any way you could help disperse these people?" Fang Jueyu stammered.
"Holy shit, Chairman Lu? That's your car?" Liu Yimou had never linked Fang Jueyu with the owner of that Porsche, thinking Fang Jueyu was still stuck on a bridge or highway jam.
"Wait a second, I'll ask the principal for some ideas!"
"Teacher Park, who?" Wang Cong heard his name mentioned when Liu Yimou was on the phone.
"That's the friend I was planning to introduce you to today, the 'Chairman Lu' who's quite popular on the Bamboo platform recently!"
"Oh, I know!" Wang Cong nodded nonchalantly, not making much of it as flashy rich guys were common on the live streaming platform, and he wouldn't make connections with just anyone, perhaps just a typical newly-rich.
"That 'Chairman Lu' is in that car right now!" Liu Yimou pointed to the Porsche.
"What? You're saying that guy inside the car is the 'Chairman Lu' you mentioned?" Suddenly, Wang Cong could no longer contain his composure; a person who could secure such a helicopter, even making his father show deference, surely wasn't just any ordinary wealthy man.
"Are you sure?"
"He called us to help disperse the crowd!"
"Hahaha, all that flashiness, and now he's seeking our help?" Wang Cong laughed maliciously but quickly called security. Being the biggest investor in this China Joy, he undoubtedly had the authority.
Before long, a group of security personnel arrived to disperse the crowd.
"Please make way, everyone, this is one of today's special programs at the convention. Now, please clear a path."
"So, it's just a special program? I thought some big shot had arrived!"
"It's impressive that the organizers managed to get such a helicopter!"
"And who do you think the organizer is? Can't Principal Wang get a helicopter?"
"Is that really the case? I feel like they're just bluffing."
Soon after, the crowd dispersed significantly, allowing Fang Jueyu to drive into the underground parking garage. Only after he was sure no one saw him did he get out.
He shook his head helplessly, "Fine, maybe I'd better not drive this car again…"
