Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 355 - 354: Not Very Aggressive, Extremely Insulting

Chapter 355: Chapter 354: Not Very Aggressive, Extremely Insulting

Four Eyes really was curious about what exactly had caught Wang Dao’s attention in Su Mu.

Su Mu slipped his hands into his pockets and remained silent.

Still, Su Mu did not stop Four Eyes from asking questions.

Su Mu was also very curious, what was the true reason behind Director Wang Yiming’s enthusiastic invitation to join the Happy Sunday program?

If it was because Wang Yiming knew that he was the young master of the Su Family Group, Su Mu felt that didn’t make sense either.

After all, it was only after Four Eyes called out his name that Wang Yiming switched from calling him "handsome guy" to "Mr. Su".

This could only mean that Wang Yiming initially didn’t even know Su Mu’s surname.

How could he possibly know Su Mu’s true identity then?

Was it solely because of Su Mu’s face?

Su Mu knew that was even less likely.

He had watched the Happy Sunday programs before.

Indeed, as Four Eyes had said, the stars who participated in this show were all multitalented.

Without real ability, it truly was impossible to be on Happy Sunday.

A flagship entertainment program isn’t just all talk.

"Mr. Su has extraordinary talents; don’t you know that?"

Wang Yiming said this to Four Eyes.

Seeing Four Eyes repeatedly saying that Su Mu had no talents, it was now Wang Yiming’s turn to be confused.

Could it be that this bespectacled chubby boy and Mr. Su actually didn’t have a close relationship?

Otherwise, why would the chubby boy say that apart from being handsome and a top student, Mr. Su didn’t possess any other talents?

Happy Sunday is an entertainment show; even if you’re smart, being a top student doesn’t quite match the program’s purpose.

Wang Yiming could guarantee that what he appreciated in Mr. Su was not just his looks.

Of course, Wang Yiming had no idea about Mr. Su being a top student.

"Talent? Su Mu, do you have any talents?"

Four Eyes was stunned, looking at Wang Yiming, who did not seem to be joking.

Rather, he was quite serious, prompting Four Eyes to instinctively turn the question over to Su Mu.

Throughout high school, Su Mu’s academic performance was well known around the school.

Su Mu also had decent athletic abilities and was a member of the school’s soccer team.

Yet as Su Mu’s classmate for three years, Four Eyes had never seen Su Mu participate in any talent performances.

Even during school celebrations, Su Mu had never performed any talents on stage.

Of course, everyone thought this was quite normal.

With good grades and good looks, Su Mu was already beyond the reach of other students.

If Su Mu also possessed other skills, Four Eyes felt that would be too unfair from the heavens.

How could "ordinary people" like Four Eyes even survive then?

Su Mu just shrugged his shoulders; when it came to talents, he was quite self-aware.

Although Su Mu performed decently in art subjects, he was not very interested.

Getting by in exams was enough.

Besides, Su Mu was not an arts student.

Such subjects were optional for Su Mu and, indeed, for most students—they were dispensable.

As long as one didn’t fail, there were no issues.

"See, I told you my friend doesn’t have any talents."

"At the very least, they shouldn’t be enough to meet the talent requirements for Happy Sunday."

Seeing Su Mu’s demeanor, Four Eyes felt reassured.

Although Four Eyes thought of himself as Su Mu’s classmate and good friend for three years,

he considered himself to be very familiar with Su Mu.

But because of Wang Yiming’s identity, as well as his attitude.

You should know that the terms Wang Yiming offered Su Mu were directly comparable to those of the top-tier stars.

Moreover, Wang Yiming had said they could accommodate Su Mu’s schedule in every way.

What Four Eyes didn’t know was, aside from the compensation Wang Yiming offered, which placed Su Mu directly on par with those hottest stars,

Su Mu also enjoyed even better treatment than those stars.

That’s because Wang Yiming said they could make all scheduling accommodations to suit Su Mu’s availability.

Nobody starring in Happy Sunday had ever enjoyed such treatment.

Basically, Wang Yiming settled the filming schedule and then let the assistants notify the agents of the stars participating in that period’s Happy Sunday show.

If there were conflicts with timing.

I’m sorry, but you’d either figure it out yourself, or Happy Sunday would arrange for other stars to join the shoot.

Of course, the second scenario hadn’t really happened yet.

Before the nationwide hit entertainment show Happy Sunday.

Even the most popular stars would comply with the filming times arranged by Wang Yiming.

Because if you didn’t have time this episode and postponed, who knows when the next shoot would be—possibly not until the year of the monkey.

If many stars had schedule conflicts, they would cancel other shows to participate in the filming of Happy Sunday.

Not only does Happy Sunday offer high compensation,

but more importantly, it can bring greater recognition to the individual.

A star’s recognition symbolizes the extent of their popularity,

and also implies their future status and resources.

Anyone who isn’t a fool knows what to choose.

Even if some stars are indeed fools, their agents would never allow them to mess up.

Thus, Wang Yiming’s status in the entertainment circle is also very high.

It could be said that everyone flatters Wang Yiming, and nobody has made him display such a ingratiating manner so far.

Now, not only did Four Eyes find it strange,

but also the other employees of Xinghuan Entertainment who had stopped their work and were intently focused on the situation at Su Mu’s side were extremely curious.

"Just what talent does this handsome guy possess that makes Wang Dao so humble and eager to invite him onto Happy Sunday?"

"You’re asking me? Who should I ask? I want to know, too."

"Even an arrogant Wang Dao who used to look down on others has such a humble day? That’s truly an eye-opener."

"Be careful, if Wang Dao hears what you said, you can kiss your chance of being on Happy Sunday goodbye for the rest of your life."

"What’s there to be afraid of? Do you think you can get on? If you’re not a popular star, would Wang Dao even take notice of you?"

"There are exceptions, though. Look at the handsome guy who isn’t a star, yet Wang Dao is still pleading with him to be on Happy Sunday, right?"

"That’s true. I just don’t know what kind of special skill the handsome guy has to make Wang Dao so desperate."

"I’m also waiting for the handsome guy to reveal the answer. But what do you think, will he agree to Wang Dao’s proposal in the end?"

"I doubt it, you can tell just by looking at him that he’s not short on cash. He’s not only well-off, but probably very wealthy."

"Yeah, the handsome guy doesn’t need to stoop for a bag of rice like we do."

Small groups of people who had gathered started to chatter quietly among themselves.

What everyone was most curious about now was the handsome guy’s talent.

What kind of talent did the guy possess that made Wang Dao so enamored?

"Are you sure you’re serious?"

Wang Yiming confirmed solemnly with Four Eyes.

Wang Yiming wasn’t at all affected by the words of the bespectacled chubby kid.

It was as if Wang Yiming had an ironclad piece of evidence; no matter what Four Eyes said, Wang Yiming had great confidence in Su Mu.

"What do you mean by that, huh? Are you saying you know my friend better than I do?"

"You should know that Su Mu and I were high school classmates for three years. Judging by your appearance, you must have just met my friend, right?"

"No, not just met, probably haven’t met at all, huh?"

"It’s only because I mentioned his surname Su that you even knew it, right?"

Four Eyes was also angered by Wang Yiming’s doubt about his friendship with Su Mu.

If there was anything Four Eyes took pride in during those three years of high school,

it was that he was Su Mu’s best friend at Huadong International Middle School, without a doubt.

Even when Su Mu presented himself as a student from an ordinary family, Four Eyes felt honored to have him as a friend.

Not to mention now that Su Mu was the young master of the Su Family empire.

That status truly wasn’t something just anyone could aspire to.

At first, Four Eyes thought Wang Yiming was the director of "Happy Sunday," a status that was quite respectable.

But now that Wang Yiming had questioned his relationship with Su Mu, Four Eyes no longer saw him as a good person.

Four Eyes didn’t have a good attitude toward Wang Yiming either.

Besides being talkative, Four Eyes also had some skill in arguing.

Now was the time for Four Eyes to shine.

Wang Yiming, looking like a battle-ready rooster with all his hackles raised, wasn’t actually angry.

Just a high school graduate, Wang Yiming saw Four Eyes as just a kid, not worth getting angry over.

Clearing his throat, Wang Yiming’s temper today was surprisingly good.

He actually answered Four Eyes’ question.

And he didn’t seem to be angry at all.

"I indeed didn’t know Mr. Su’s name at first."

In this regard, Wang Yiming admitted to what Four Eyes had suggested.

Upon hearing Wang Yiming say this, Four Eyes became somewhat smug, the smile at the corner of his mouth revealing his good mood.

Four Eyes believed that his relationship with Su Mu wasn’t for nothing; how could it be possible for Wang Yiming to know something about Su Mu that he didn’t know?

"However, I genuinely do know about Mr. Su’s talents,"

"I just don’t understand why you would say Mr. Su has no talent."

Wang Yiming’s mild retaliation wasn’t intense, but for Four Eyes, it was unbearable.

Four Eyes felt Wang Yiming’s words were not very aggressive but were extremely insulting.

What did it mean that Wang Yiming truly knew about Su Mu’s talents, while Four Eyes didn’t?

To Four Eyes’ ears, it was a clear statement that he didn’t understand Su Mu.

But Four Eyes always prided himself on being a good friend to Su Mu.

If Four Eyes didn’t know about his good friend’s affairs, yet someone who allegedly didn’t know Su Mu did,

what was that if not an insult?

Anyways, Four Eyes couldn’t swallow this affront.

The friendship between Four Eyes and Su Mu wasn’t something merely spoken about.

It was authentic.

And it wasn’t muddled with any other ingredients.

If Su Mu had initially attended school as the young master of the Su Family, Four Eyes might not have become friends with him at all.

After all, Su Mu’s status was too noble, and if Four Eyes had been hasty in trying to make friends, others might have accused him of having an ulterior motive.

"Su Mu, you really don’t know this Wang Yiming, do you?"

Four Eyes felt he had to confirm it one more time.

It’s not that Four Eyes was feeling guilty, but Wang Yiming spoke with such earnestness that it would give anyone the wrong impression.

However, Four Eyes thought that since Wang Yiming was a director, he might also be quite good at acting.

"I don’t know him."

Although Su Mu spoke in a very calm manner, he was very certain.

But while Four Eyes and Wang Yiming were talking, Su Mu was carefully observing this Director Wang.

Su Mu didn’t feel that Wang Yiming spoke as if he were just spouting nonsense either.

Could it be that Wang Yiming truly knew about his special talent?

As for Su Mu’s special talents, they were all acquired through signing in with the system.

It was perfectly normal for Four Eyes not to know about these.

After all, Su Mu had acquired the system after the college entrance exams had finished.

Once Su Mu’s true identity was known, he had also started to become busy.

Naturally, he spent a lot less time with Four Eyes.

It was very normal for Four Eyes to be unaware of the latest developments concerning Su Mu.

Just by normal human reasoning, it’s impossible for a person’s talents to suddenly emerge out of nowhere.

Four Eyes’s conviction made some sense.

What Four Eyes didn’t know was that one shouldn’t apply normal human reasoning to a friend who has received a godlike existence such as a system.

So, it was normal for Four Eyes to have suffered this verbal disadvantage.

Su Mu carefully recalled that he had signed in for quite a number of talents from the system.

Champion Painting Skill, Champion Dance Skills, Champion Photography Skill, King-Level Calligraphy Skill, Champion Singing Skill.

Only now did Su Mu realize that in no time at all, he had become a person endowed with skills.

And these were not just any skills, they were all at the champion level.

Indeed, any one of them could stand out in their respective field.

But Su Mu didn’t know which of these talents Wang Yiming was aware of.

Champion Painting Skill?

With this one, Su Mu had only drawn a picture while strolling with Xuanxuan, and he hadn’t left a signature or anything.

Su Mu thought this one could be ruled out, as it was unlikely that Wang Yiming was there at the painting store by chance.

Back then, Su Mu had observed that there were only young couples around, no middle-aged uncle-like presence of Wang Yiming.

Champion Dance Skills?

This was even more unlikely.

Su Mu had only danced twice, at He Qiya’s dance party and at the Su Family Group’s celebration dinner.

Both were not public dance parties, and the occasions wouldn’t have been made public.

Champion Photography Skill?

In specifics, this should have no connection to Happy Sunday, so Su Mu felt this possibility was small.

King-Level Calligraphy Skill?

This skill seemed to be known only between Su Mu and his grandfather, unless Wang Yiming had exceptional abilities.

Otherwise, it was utterly improbable that he knew.

Finally came the Champion Singing Skill.

It was fairly straightforward, as Su Mu had only sung a song at the Su Family Group’s celebration dinner.

Even Su Mu’s girlfriend Xuanxuan didn’t know about this skill, so Su Mu thought Wang Yiming shouldn’t either.

The Su Family Group’s dinner was not open to journalists, so everything was quite private.

Director Wang had no relationship with the Su Family Group, and Su Mu felt it was simply impossible for Wang Yiming to know about these things.

Having ruled out everything, Su Mu really couldn’t think of anything else.
