Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 356 - 355: Hidden Depths
Chapter 356: Chapter 355: Hidden Depths
"Mr. Su, I know you don’t recognize me, but I truly admire your talents and I hope you will grace us with your presence on our Happy Sunday show to demonstrate them,"
Wang Yiming wasn’t discouraged after hearing Su Mu’s words.
After all, it was true that Wang Yiming himself didn’t really know Mr. Su.
How could he then expect Mr. Su to recognize him?
"You really don’t know? Then what’s all this jabbering about?"
"I said my friend is a top student, handsome too, but as for talents, it seems like they don’t quite match the requirements for your Happy Sunday, right?"
Four Eyes was now relieved.
This Wang Yiming himself admitted that he didn’t know Su Mu, and Su Mu didn’t know Wang Yiming either.
Four Eyes felt certain the talents of this so-called Su Mu Wang Yiming was talking about were made up.
How could Wang Yiming, a stranger, possibly know about something that even Four Eyes, a friend of Su Mu’s, didn’t?
Four Eyes thought it was impossible even by word of mouth.
You’d have to know the person first for rumors, right?
Otherwise, even if others were discussing it, if you don’t know who the main character is, how can you listen to rumors?
"Mr. Su is really too modest. I saw your talents through a friend’s post they shared on their Moments,"
"It’s a pity because my friend also shared it from someone else’s post, and I don’t know how many times it’s been forwarded."
"I wanted to invite Mr. Su to Happy Sunday right then, but since it was friend sharing from a friend, it was really impossible to find out who posted it first."
"I thought I had missed the opportunity to connect with Mr. Su."
"I never expected to actually meet Mr. Su at Xinghuan Entertainment, I believe this must be fate."
Wang Yiming was clearly too excited as he prattled on and on.
Unfortunately, Su Mu still had no idea which aspect of his talents had caught the eye of this Director Wang.
Su Mu’s previous analysis had already ruled out all possibilities.
But now, Wang Yiming was saying that he found out through a Moments post.
Now Su Mu was uncertain again.
It seemed he could only rule out Champion Photography Skill and King-Level Calligraphy Skill.
The latter would surely not spread through Moments.
Su Mu had only shown his calligraphy skill a little in front of his grandfather and hadn’t actually practiced it.
Not to mention the idea of it being spread around.
As for the Champion Photography Skill, even if someone forwarded the photo he took for Xuanxuan,
it would not include Su Mu himself.
Remember, Wang Yiming originally recognized Su Mu by seeing him in person.
What remained were Champion Painting Skill, Champion Dance Skills, and Champion Singing Skill.
If Wang Yiming truly saw it through Moments, then all three were possible.
As for which one it was, only Wang Yiming knew for sure.
Four Eyes, seeing Wang Yiming’s confidence at this point, felt shaken too.
Could it be that Su Mu truly had a special talent Four Eyes didn’t know about?
Four Eyes thought it was possible.
After all, Su Mu had kept his identity as the young master of the Su Family a secret until he was eighteen.
So, why couldn’t a small talent be kept secret too?
Perhaps Su Mu was just being low-key to avoid drawing attention?
It could also be to distract from his identity as the Su Family’s young master, preventing more people from focusing on him.
Especially since Su Mu’s looks were already quite high-profile.
This could hardly be concealed.
Su Mu only had to hide some of his other talents to better conceal his identity.
Four Eyes felt that what he shared was quite reasonable.
So, Four Eyes wasn’t in a hurry to contradict Wang Yiming anymore.
After all, Su Mu himself was here, so let Su Mu reveal whether what Wang Yiming said was true.
Though Su Mu already had a hunch, he wasn’t in a rush to voice it out.
Anyway, Su Mu had no interest in Happy Sunday.
Therefore, Su Mu was also not that interested in what talent Wang Yiming had recognized in him.
Among the three of them, Su Mu’s face was the picture of calm.
Four Eyes was no longer as agitated as at the beginning and seemed to have matured quite a bit.
On the other hand, Wang Yiming, who one would expect to be the most composed because of his age, appeared somewhat more impatient.
"Mr. Su, what I’m saying is true, I still have that video from the friend’s circle saved to this day."
To prevent that post from being buried under others and hard to find, Wang Yiming had purposefully saved Su Mu’s video on his phone.
Occasionally, Wang Yiming would take it out to enjoy.
Wang Yiming had always been looking forward to the day he could meet the male lead from the video.
When he could invite this talented and good-looking young man to join the recording of his Happy Sunday.
From Wang Yiming’s professional perspective, the hottie’s talent in the video was no less than that of professionals.
Wang Yiming could even assert that the hottie’s talent had reached a peak level.
Although it didn’t quite match the hottie’s age, who’s to say it wasn’t because he was extraordinarily gifted?
As if afraid that Su Mu wouldn’t believe him, Wang Yiming hurriedly took out his phone from his pocket.
After a series of taps on the screen, it seemed that Wang Yiming had found the video he was looking for.
Wang Yiming must have stored the video in a secure place.
Su Mu noticed that Wang Yiming had tapped quite a few times on the phone screen.
Four Eyes looked at Wang Yiming with a face full of curiosity.
By this time, Four Eyes probably had internally accepted what Wang Yiming said.
Four Eyes thought that Su Mu must be hiding some outstanding talent, just that Su Mu had always been too low-key to show it.
At that moment, what intrigued Four Eyes wasn’t the video that Wang Yiming had saved.
Four Eyes was curious about how many treasures Su Mu still had hidden.
Su Mu’s brainy reputation and the title of super handsome guy were already enviable.
If he possessed another excellent talent, it wouldn’t just be a plus for Su Mu.
It would be a declaration to the world that Su Mu was a perfect man.
Having such an accomplished good friend, Four Eyes felt no jealousy.
Only deep pride.
Four Eyes thought it was a great honor to be Su Mu’s classmate and good friend, since Su Mu was so outstanding.
Su Mu had a rough idea in his mind and was not so curious anymore.
He just had to pick one from those three skills he had signed in to.
All the skills provided by the system were top-notch, so it wasn’t surprising that Wang Yiming would be so keen on Su Mu.
The only thing that made Su Mu curious was who would be so idle to post on the friend’s circle?
Posting on the friend’s circle was one thing, but being forwarded as well?
Su Mu felt he was no celebrity, wasn’t this a bit exaggerated?
"What do you think Wang Dao is searching for on his phone?"
"I don’t know, but Wang Dao usually has such a loud voice, which I never liked before, yet today I wish his voice was even louder."
"Why bring that up? I just want to know what he’s searching for on his phone?"
"Judging by Wang Dao’s behavior, it must have something to do with the handsome guy."
"Could the handsome guy be an internet celebrity? Is that why Wang Dao is so eager to invite him to participate in the popular ’Happy Sunday’ show?"
The originally small clusters of people had, unbeknownst to them, gathered together.
Perhaps because everyone was eager to find out why exactly Wang Dao wanted to invite the handsome guy to the nationally popular ’Happy Sunday’ show.
Or maybe everyone was just curious about the handsome guy’s various talents.
Anyway, for the crowd, Miss He had already left temporarily.
It wasn’t like Wang Dao would be jealous of everyone staring at the handsome guy, right?
The crowd became bolder.
"That can’t be, can it? I’m known as a little internet expert, and if the handsome guy were an internet celebrity and I didn’t know him, wouldn’t that mean I’m out of the loop?"
A girl with dyed red hair dismissed the preceding person’s speculation.
If the handsome guy was just an ordinary internet celebrity, the girl with red hair didn’t think he would have captured Wang Dao’s attention like this.
But if the handsome guy was very famous, then the girl with red hair was certain she would recognize him.
After all, this girl who claimed to be a little internet expert,
aside from eating, sleeping, and the time spent training at Xinghuan Entertainment, was practically attached to her phone.
Not to mention before she signed with Xinghuan Entertainment.
Back then, the red-haired girl only did three things: eat, sleep, and clutch her phone.
And the order was definitely phone first, eating second, sleeping only in third place.
The red-haired girl did nothing but browse the internet on her phone, endlessly scrolling.
Thus, she was very sure that if the handsome guy had any recognition online, he couldn’t escape her discerning eyes.
"Now that’s strange. How exactly did Wang Dao get to know the handsome guy?"
"And look at Wang Dao’s expression, he has definitely spotted some special talent in the handsome guy to be showing such a love for talent."
"Can you all keep it down? If Wang Dao hears us and sends us away, what are we going to watch?"
"If you don’t talk now, when Wang Dao reveals the answer himself, wouldn’t that be enough?"
"Why all this talk? It’s so annoying."
Some people started chiding their companions as the volume of the discussion grew louder and their dissatisfaction rose.
Being driven away was a minor issue, but losing the chance to learn more about the handsome guy was a major problem.
"Got it, but you’re pretty talkative yourself."
The retort came, but the volume was obviously much lower.
They glared at each other disapprovingly but seemed to know the weight of the situation, not opting to argue for the sake of arguing.
The onlooking crowd unexpectedly quieted down, their eyes fixed only on the figure of the handsome guy.
Su Mu, on the other hand, didn’t notice why the crowd staring at him had suddenly fallen silent.
To Su Mu, being the center of attention from a young age was nothing new or alarming.
Especially after Su Mu went public with his identity as the young master of the Su Family, such attentive gazes only increased.
If Su Mu were to concern himself with such things, it would be too draining.
So, he had developed a strong immunity to such attention.
Now, Su Mu was just waiting to see what clip Wang Yiming was going to show him.
Anyway, with three to choose from, there wasn’t much of a surprise for Su Mu.
"Mr. Su, here’s the video, sorry to keep you waiting."
"Because I was afraid of losing it, I added several layers of passwords, so it took a bit longer,"
Wang Yiming probably knew that it took a bit too long to find the video and offered an embarrassed explanation.
There was nothing Wang Yiming could do; he had a naughty kid at home who would seize any chance to play with his phone.
Wang Yiming was afraid that his child might accidentally delete this video he treasured so much while playing with his phone.
Wang Yiming would definitely be in tears without any tears.
No matter how impressive Wang Yiming appeared on the outside,
Once he returned home, Wang Yiming was still a dad who suffered countless headaches because of his naughty child.
"What on earth is this video that you treasure it so much?"
Su Mu had yet to react, but Four Eyes was curious and leaned over Wang Yiming’s phone.
"Mr. Su, you sang this song, didn’t you? I knew I didn’t recognize the wrong person."
Wang Yiming pressed play on the video, which indeed showed Su Mu singing.
"Su Mu, this, this..."
Four Eyes listened intently to the song Su Mu was singing in the video, and his whole being became a bit unsettled.
Four Eyes had been classmates and good friends with Su Mu for three years.
But it wasn’t until today that Four Eyes discovered Su Mu’s singing was so good?
Now Four Eyes finally understood why Wang Dao was so eager to invite Su Mu to the "Happy Sunday" show.
Based on Su Mu’s voice and singing talent alone,
Four Eyes knew that if Su Mu wanted to debut, no superstars would stand a chance.
Moreover, Su Mu didn’t need to rely on looks; he was a genuine talent in singing.
Seeing the video on Wang Yiming’s phone, Su Mu finally understood what aspect of his talent Wang Yiming was interested in.
It was the Champion Singing Skill he got from his system check-in.
Su Mu acquired this skill at the Su Family Group’s celebration banquet.
At that time, Su Mu only sang one song after checking in.
Su Mu never knew that he caught the director’s attention of "Happy Sunday" with just that one song.
Su Mu hadn’t noticed anyone taking photos or videos with their phones at that time.
So Su Mu never expected that his singing would end up in someone’s social media posts.
Having it posted on social media was one thing, but to be shared as well?
Listening to Wang Yiming, it must have been forwarded several times.
Otherwise, Wang Yiming wouldn’t have said he couldn’t find the person.
"Su Mu, your singing is actually this good?"
"You’ve really kept it a secret, haven’t you?"
"Did you do this on purpose to fit your identity, so you wouldn’t let your friends know?"
The last sentence was Four Eyes’ own speculation, but he felt his analysis was quite reasonable.
Of course, Four Eyes also knew what’s important.
Four Eyes wasn’t sure if Su Mu would reveal his identity at Xinghuan Entertainment.
So for the last sentence, Four Eyes deliberately lowered his voice.
Those standing further away definitely couldn’t hear it.
But Wang Yiming, standing right next to Su Mu, heard every single word.
Fit the identity?
Does Mr. Su’s identity require special secrecy?
Wang Yiming was somewhat perplexed.
