The lights came back on.
The doors opened.
The press conference ended and Zhang Ye walked off the stage.
But none of the reporters left!
"Teacher Zhang!"
"Teacher Zhang, please stay!"
"Please accept an interview!"
"Teacher Zhang!"
"Please wait a moment! Wait a moment!"
Numerous reporters piled forward in excitement. Several of the male reporters seated in the back rows even stepped over the chairs ahead of them to get to the front as everyone rushed forward in a frenzy!
However, Zhang Ye did not answer any questions or accept any interviews. He just turned around and left through the backstage.
Noticing this, the Department 14 staff in the back quickly went forward to hold off the reporters. They shouted, "Please go back. Everyone, please head back."
