Chapter 48: The Deputy Chairman with a Dubious Identity
For the entire weekend, apart from coping with Oola's intense training, Su Yifan spent most of his time watching various high-definition videos he had downloaded.
When it comes to the entertainment industry, Asia is just a little brother who follows in the footsteps of Europe and America. Su Yifan has been paying attention to this aspect for a long time, but he has never really examined it from the perspective of a participant. Now, re-watching these live videos and news videos, I feel that having a different perspective makes a big difference.
Many details that were previously unclear are now crystal clear.
China's star brokers operate mainly for business activities, and such a market is of no reference value to Zhang Yao. Su Yifan felt that he should use the current dissemination method to open up a new path for Zhang Yao, which would be more beneficial to her life development.
It was a naturally born sense of mission, Su Yifan felt that he should go all out for Zhang Yao's affairs, just at the moment when Zhang Yao told her his biggest secret.
Su Yifan's distraction was easily discovered by Su Xiaqing, who took advantage of the lunch break to ask him: "What are you worried about? Didn't things go well with Zhang Yao?"
"It's going smoothly, but I'm always afraid that I'll mess up and harm Zhang Yao." Su Yifan said frankly.
"What are you afraid of?" Su Xiao said calmly, "No matter what kind of popular classic it is, it's just a display of one's inner world and then finding recognition. I believe you and Zhang Yao can do well."
Su Yifan smiled wryly: "Qing Jie, you really look up to me."
"Don't be afraid, it's nothing big." Su Xiaoqing said softly, "When it comes to the inner world, no one is worse than anyone else, it just depends on how you express it."
Su Yifan nodded thoughtfully and finally put away his tightly furrowed eyebrows, starting to focus on eating.
After dinner, Su Xiao casually threw a key to Su Yifan, with a card attached to it, on which was written an address.
"When you have time, go take a look with Zhang Yao."
Su Yifan took the key and suddenly felt a heavier sense of responsibility. As clever as he was, he naturally wanted to know what Su Xiaqing had prepared for him, and this feeling of having everything he needed made him very uneasy.
Because the car has been returned to Su Xiaoqing, this weekend Su Yifan had no other plans except to bring Zhang Yao over to play Resident Evil 5.
Zhang Yao showed surprising talent and courage when facing horror games, and the scenes that made Yang Bing scream had no effect on her. Su Yifan watched from the side as Zhang Yao used a shotgun to blast zombies into pieces, running through the bloody and gruesome scene with an unchanged expression.
It's indeed true that everyone has their own inner world.

When Zhou Yu Fei called Chen Xin over the weekend, Chen Xin was drinking with friends and had a heavily made-up girl in his arms.
The girl was pulled out of the Golden Century Slow Rock Bar as a lead dancer, with soft waist and not small chest. Wearing a high-necked sweater in winter still looks puffy, with a commercialized smile on her face.
She was said to be a girl, but in fact she was several years older than Chen Xin. The girl occasionally glanced at Chen Xin, who was pretending to be profound, with a hint of disdain in her eyes.
Chen Xin called out his good buddy Huang Shao to drink, his depression was obvious to anyone, but Huang Shao would never take the initiative to ask Chen Xin what happened.
This is the default rule in the circle, never to pry into the other person's troubles before speaking up. Huang Shao vaguely knew some of Chen Xin's recent troubles, and what happened that night at Zhongjing International, although not many people witnessed it on the spot, the news from the police station was still spread by someone later.
"Huang Ge, I heard you've been busy with something good lately?"
Chen Xin was young and showed great respect to Huang Shao, who was accustomed to being called "brother" by him. Although these rich second-generation kids wouldn't pry into each other's private lives, this kind of business topic wasn't taboo either.
Huang Shao is also just under twenty years old, a few inches shorter than Chen Xin, with a not-so-handsome face always wearing a faint smile, seemingly also taking the route of elegance.
Hearing Chen Xin's question, Huang Shao smiled and put down his wine cup.
"To be honest, I wouldn't hide this from you, little brother. Recently, a not-so-small gold mine was discovered on a mountain next to our city. Your big brother doesn't have any other skills, but the procedures for the gold mine can't be handled, and at least some transportation business can be done."
Chen Xin was shocked and said: "I said recently why many people are discussing the price of gold... it turns out that's what happened. Congratulations to Huang Ge, this is a good business."
Huang Shao smiled slightly: "Still, it's a bit of a relationship door, otherwise this job wouldn't be mine. It was arranged by one of my dad's good friends, and I just followed along to drink some soup."
Chen Xinyi shook her head in admiration: "Huang Ge, you're really carefree. Your family's old man also trusts you. My dad is always distrustful of me and doesn't let me do anything."
Huang Shao didn't respond to Chen Xin's complaints. Huang Shao knew exactly what kind of person Chen Xin was, and being arrogant but incompetent was a common problem among the rich second generation. Chen Xin kept talking about wanting to be independent, but in reality, he was still a child who couldn't leave his father's side.
There was also a girl next to Huang Shao, who was younger than the DJ that Chen Xin was hugging. She leaned against Huang Shao tenderly and occasionally fed him food.
Chen Xin held her wine glass, feeling a bit dizzy and staring blankly.
That scene on Friday night was too stimulating for Chen Xin. To this day, Chen Xin still doesn't think Su Yifan has anything special about him. He just can't figure out why those three beauties would all get into Su Yifan's car.
Chen Xin confessed to Cheng Shui Xian, but was beaten by Su Yi Fan instead. This incident itself made Chen Xin feel unbalanced, especially when his father also warned him not to act rashly, making Chen Xin's mind even more unbalanced.
Chen Xin now feels that she has no face to see Cheng Shuiyan, at least before collecting Su Yifan.
Just then, Di Yufei's phone arrived.
"Chen Xin, where are you?"
This time, Di Yufei didn't use honorifics, and his tone was still as calm as usual.
Chen Xin had already drunk a lot of wine, although not to the point of intoxication, but still appeared very excited: "Chairman Zhai? Come and have a drink with me, I'm at Wei Road 232..."
"You wait, I'll go find you." Zhai Yufei said and hung up the phone.
He Wei Road 232 is a private house restaurant, Chen Xin and Huang Shao are eating in the innermost private room. Chen Xin saw Di Yu Fei hang up the phone, muttered "pretentious" and drank another glass of wine.
"Whose phone is it? Little brother seems unhappy."
Chen Xin put down his wine glass and let out a belch: "Our school's student union president, I think he looks down on me."
"Who still dares to look down on you?" Huang Shao laughed, "Let him come, we brothers will give him a lesson, let him know what it means for a dog fart student to grow up."
Chen Xinjiang smiled and didn't respond. He thought that Zhai Yufei was not inferior to Huang Shao in terms of momentum. However, this was something that couldn't be said to Huang Shao's face.
Huang saw Chen Xin's gloomy face and didn't respond, feeling slightly annoyed in his heart. In the circle, Huang Di was a very popular person, and compared to him, Chen Xin could only look at his family, and his connections were simply a mess.
Huang Di thought that although Chen Xin was not as good as himself, they were at least on the same path. If someone looked down on Chen Xin, it would be equivalent to looking down on himself.
Lowering his head to pick up the phone and sending a text message, Huang Di raised his head, with a bright smile already on his face: "Enough, let's not talk about these depressing things anymore, let's continue drinking!"
Chen Xinjiang made an effort to cheer up and clinked glasses with Huang Shao a few times, and his tongue finally became a bit bigger.
Huang Di was just about to continue shouting for wine when someone knocked on the door outside.
"Is Chen Xin there?"
Huang Di's eyes narrowed slightly as he listened to the voice, which was steady and full of a strong tone.
That's Chen Xin, the student union president.
Chen Xin's eyes were dazed and he shook his head, getting up to open the door. As soon as he opened it, he saw Zhai Yufei standing behind him with Liang Fangfang, her gaze calmly looking at the people in the room.
Huang Di was sitting in his seat without moving and was just about to speak when he caught sight of Liang Fangfang standing behind Zhai Yufei's back, and immediately stood up: "Miss Liang!"
Still wearing black-framed glasses, Liang Fangfang looked at Huang Di with an expressionless face, raised her chin and hummed a "hmm" as if she had already answered.
Huang Di seemed to have forgotten what he wanted to say to Zhai Yu Fei earlier, and quickly walked to the door to greet her: "Miss Liang, I didn't expect to run into you here, it's really unexpected... who is this?"
Li Fangfang didn't speak up, but rather the person beside her, Di Yufei, smiled and extended his hand to Huang Di: "Hello, I'm Chen Xin's classmate. I have something to discuss with him."
Chen Xin's mind was still a bit cloudy, and his tongue felt a little thick as he greeted Zhai Yu Fei: "Chairman Zhai... what can I do for you?"
Di Yu Fei smiled slightly: "It's not very convenient to talk here, why don't we change places?"
Di Yufei's implication was that what he said to Chen Xin wasn't suitable for Huang Di to hear. Unexpectedly, Huang Di standing beside Chen Xin nodded repeatedly as if she hadn't understood.
"Yes, this place is really not suitable for talking, where are you going? I'll drive you there."
Huang Di's eagerness was too obvious, and even Chen Xin, who was a bit dizzy, finally felt that something was off.
Chen Xin made an effort to sober up a bit and took another look at Liang Fangfang's expressionless face, seeming to understand something.
What makes Huang Di so diligent? Chen Xin didn't need to think about it, she knew that only those with a more powerful family background would be respected, this is the iron rule of high-end social circles.
Li Fangfang's coldness and Huang Di's enthusiasm were in stark contrast, and Chen Xin only then realized that there were still many people she couldn't see through at all.
What does this normally taciturn and expressionless girl's family actually do?
Di Yufei seemed to be completely unaware of all this, and didn't even glance at the girl sitting next to Chen Xin. He smiled and said to Chen Xin, "You should sober up."
Zui Yi Yiqu De Chen Xin Gan Dao Yi Zhen Mao Gu Su Ran.
Li Fangfang's gaze remained on Di Yufei until Huang Di took the coat and slapped the little girl's buttocks, at which point she frowned slightly.
Huang Di caught the thread of discontent and said in a voice that was neither loud nor soft to the little girl, "I have something to attend to first, you go home first."
The little girl pouted and quietly put on her sable coat before leaving.
Li Fangfang's eyebrows didn't relax, she looked at Huang Di and suddenly said: "Disgusting."
Huang Di smiled awkwardly: "Sorry about that, but Miss Liang, rest assured, I'm not the kind of person who starts something and then abandons it."
Di Yufei whispered beside her: "Fang Fang, we shouldn't interfere with other people's private lives."
Liang Fangfang heard Di Fei speaking and immediately nodded, taking a step back and no longer looking at Huang Di.
Huang Di couldn't help but take a cold breath, this student union president was much more formidable than he had imagined.
Li Fangfang and Di Yufei didn't drive out, Huang Di drove them to a quiet tea house without complaint.
The teahouse's name has only one word "He", a very common name, can't see anything unusual.
As they saw him off at the entrance, Huang Di was about to bid farewell when Zhai Yufei smiled and said: "Huang Shao, if you have time, why not sit down together."
Huang Di couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy upon hearing Zhai Yu Fei speak in such a manner.
According to the hierarchy among the rich second generation, Huang Di knew that even if he jumped up and down, he couldn't enter Liang Fangfang's eyes. The Chairman Zhai in front of him obviously had a strong hold on Liang Fangfang, and if he could talk to Liang Fangfang through Zhai Yufei, it would definitely be helpful for his future.
"Chairman Di is too kind, today we are not accidental encounters, let my brother have the opportunity to do east is my honor." Huang Di spoke quite properly and no longer looked at Liang Fangfang's face.
Di Yu Fei smiled slightly and stretched out his hand, saying, "Then I won't be polite."
Li Fang followed behind Zhai Yufei, her face still expressionless.
Sitting in the VIP room, Liang Fangfang naturally sat beside Zhai Yufei and took out a small file folder from her handbag, ignoring others and looking at it herself.
Di Yufei was already used to Liang Fangfang's style, first familiarly pointing at the big red robe, then smiling and saying to Chen Xin: "Drinking too much hurts your body, it's better to drink a little less."
Dai Yufei's old-fashioned demeanor made Chen Xin hum a tune. Huang Di smiled and chimed in, "Chairman Dai is right, students should prioritize their studies."
Di Yufei nodded and said: "Actually, I came here today to talk to Chen Xin about this matter. As a student, it's better to focus on studies."
Chen Xin is now relatively sober and immediately understood the implication of Zhai Yufei's words, staring at him with wide eyes.
Di Yufei smiled and said: "What is the standard for students?"
Chen Xin was about to answer when the tea artist came in to perform a tea art for everyone. A group of people watched as the tea artist went through each step, silent until they all picked up their cups, at which point Huang Di waved his hand and let the tea artist leave.
After finishing the first cup of tea, Di Yufei moved with a familiar motion to pour tea for everyone. This action made him seem especially close and intimate, and his previous haughty attitude instantly vanished.
After drinking his second cup of tea, Zhai Yufei finally spoke up slowly.
"Students' standards, of course, prioritize academic performance."
Chen Xin thought for a moment and suddenly understood what Zhai Yufei wanted to say.
Su Yifan's academic performance is average.
"And recently he's been very busy." Zhai Yufei said with a smile, "Busy to the point where he doesn't even have time to review, and is instead socializing among several beauties."
Di Yufei laughed very naturally, making Huang Di, who was watching from the side, sigh in admiration. This smile, if practiced in front of a mirror hundreds of times, would not have achieved such a result.
"So today we're going to discuss whether schools and student unions should take compulsory measures to correct the problem if club activities affect some students' studies."
Di Yufei put down his teacup and concluded lightly.
