Stop Pretending to Be Cool

Qi Nian's sudden remark left everyone completely dumbfounded.

What do you mean by "this is their factory's product"?

When did Su Yu get a factory? How come I didn't know?

Is he bragging again?

Zhang Ben: "Hehe, you're not kidding, are you? Isn't Su Yu reselling VCDs? Where would he get a factory?"

Lin Zhi: "This guy is way too vain! He gives you a universal charger and then claims to own a factory?"

Qi Nian: "He's not bragging. If you don't believe me, go ask Li Yang. He's currently in charge of the entire Kyoto market. Wan Neng Chong and Brain Gold are actually the same company now."

Shen Huazheng: "You mean Brain Gold is also Su Yu's?"

Qi Nian: "It's not Brain Gold, but the GG you guys were talking about was filmed by Su Yu."

"..."

Lin Zhi: "How is that possible? He only left the set a month ago. He's been filming GG and messing around with universal chargers..."

Qi Nian: "If you don't believe me, you can ask Li Yang. He happens to be nearby today."

"Go ahead and call! Who's afraid of who? Bring Li Yang over here!"

"That's right, that's right."

A group of people started chattering amongst themselves. Seeing this, Zhang Ben handed his phone to Qi Nian, who then dialed Li Yang's number.

Half an hour later, Li Yang, dressed in a suit and tie, appeared on set.

Before Zhang Ben and the others could even speak, the snobbish production assistant immediately approached them with a beaming smile and hurriedly asked if they were looking for the director.

Li Yang grinned and ignored him completely.

Seeing this, everyone present fell silent again.

Lin Zhi: "Can it really be true? Su Yu is really the boss? Am I seeing things? Is that really Li Yang?"

Li Yang: "What do you want from me? I've been pretty busy lately, so forget about meals."

Qi Nian: "They want to ask about the universal charger..."

"Universal charger, what's so great about that—" Just as Li Yang was about to explain, the Nokia phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

He picked it up, glanced at it, and answered the call. A moment later, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Why are you calling me for such a small order of a thousand pieces? You can decide for yourselves, I'm busy."

After hanging up the phone, he turned to look at the silent crowd. "—What did you guys just ask?"

"See? I told you I wasn't lying to you."

Qi Nian's finishing blow came quickly and accurately.

Now nobody questions anything anymore, not even Zhang Ben, that self-important idiot.

To be honest, they would rather believe that what they were seeing was an illusion than see Li Yang and Su Yu take off.

How much would a thousand universal chargers cost?

It must cost at least ten thousand, right?

This is considered a small order. So how big of an order is considered a large order?

They're still on set, excited about playing a role with only two or three lines, treating everyone to meals and showering them with praise.

Looking back, I realized that at most I only made a few hundred yuan a month.

If they really earned over 10,000 yuan a month, wouldn't they just stop eating beef altogether?

The problem is, Li Yang wasn't bragging, because his outfit was worth tens of thousands of yuan.

They had all seen it; it was the same style worn by teacher Chen Baoguo.

If Li Yang is like this, what will happen to Su Yu?

Damn it, a meal for our group only costs a few hundred yuan, while you guys spend tens of thousands on a single piece of clothing.

Is this really the year 2000?

The most shocked person here was actually Shen Huazheng. She never expected that Su Yu would turn the tide so beautifully in just one month.

Simply incredible.

While everyone else thought acting was a more promising career path and was thinking about how to curry favor with powerful figures, or even getting their contact information, Su Yu had already become one of those powerful figures.

The story shouldn't be like this at all.

Despite her reluctance to admit it, Shen Huazheng felt that she was getting further and further away from Su Yu, giving her a sense of unattainability.

They genuinely don't care.

His choice was not wrong.

While others were still boasting and fantasizing about becoming famous one day, Su Yu had already transformed into the most unattainable figure among them.

After a moment of distraction, Shen Huazheng suddenly felt somewhat angry.

There's also a sense of helplessness.

I clearly chose him in the first place, but he just ran away, making me miss such a good opportunity!

"That's not right, where would you get the money to open a factory?"

"I made money reselling VCDs, and later I filmed some GG videos."

"Making porn is that profitable?"

"Why are you asking so many questions? You're not even taking pictures."

Li Yang was too lazy to argue with this nasty woman. "Why do you think I came back in the first place? Because you were ungrateful!"

Zhang Ben was getting restless. "Impossible! How could this be? I don't believe you!"

Li Yang shrugged. "Whatever, believe it or not, it doesn't matter. I'm busy over there, I'll be going now."

"By the way, Qi Nian, I'll ask you to film the next GG video."

"Huh?" Qi Nian was taken aback.

Shen Huazheng bit her lip, "Our Qi Nian isn't going to film your crappy boyfriend! Let whoever wants to film him, we're not going!"

"ah???"

"You don't really want to go, do you?"

After hesitating for a moment, Qi Nian slowly said, "Let's see how things go. I don't think it's absolutely necessary for me. There are clearly more suitable candidates."

Shen Huazheng immediately asked, "What would be more suitable?"

"..."

"Say something!"

"It's okay, it's okay, I was just spacing out."

Qi Nian hesitated for a moment, but still didn't tell anyone about Su Yu and that celestial girl.

The story of the universal charger and Brain Gold is quite shocking, but no one knows exactly how much Su Yu made. At most, they can only sigh in amazement. But that angelic girl and the universal charger are completely different...

She was truly a celestial being!

If word got out, I guarantee that those with heart conditions would collapse.

Li Yang arrived quickly and left quickly. On his way back, he told Su Yu the whole story.

Su Yu listened without saying anything, remaining silent.

I'm not a show-off like Zhang Ben, so there's no need for me to prove or clarify anything about this.

Did you go there just to show off, and then give them a few universal chargers for free?

How boring!

However, he felt it was still necessary to explain things to Li Yang.

I don't show off because I think it's unnecessary, but you can't keep using my status to show off.

If you've already gone through all that, what am I supposed to pretend to be next time I meet them?

But there is one thing to say.

With Li Yang around, it's actually... kind of inexplicably satisfying to have him help me criticize people.

Su Yu hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and then dialed Liu Yifei's number.

More than half a month has passed since Liu Xiaoli took her away, and I don't know how she is doing over there.

As soon as the call connected, a forlorn voice came from the other end.

"Uncle, I think I really miss you."
