Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 357 - 356 Misunderstanding

"Mr. Su..."

Wang Yiming didn’t know how to continue his words.

Did Mr. Su’s friend mean that Mr. Su only hid his talents from his friends in order to match his identity?

So what on earth was Mr. Su’s identity?

Did it need to be so mysterious?

Wang Yiming really wanted to ask bluntly.

But Wang Yiming also knew that his relationship with Mr. Su couldn’t be said to be close.

In Mr. Su’s eyes, Wang Yiming probably couldn’t even count as an acquaintance.

Of course, Wang Yiming couldn’t directly inquire into Su Mu’s privacy.

"Mr. Su, your singing is so powerful, it would truly be a pity not to share it."

"If it’s convenient for you, our ’Happy Sunday’ show would very much welcome you."

Wang Yiming spoke in a very tactful manner.

With Four Eyes present, Wang Yiming dared not boldly extend an invitation to Su Mu to join the ’Happy Sunday’ show.

Wang Yiming also had to consider the issue of Mr. Su’s identity, as mentioned by Four Eyes.

"There’s nothing inconvenient or not inconvenient."

Su Mu responded very indifferently.

That was also the truth; Su Mu’s identity was not previously something to be concealed from others.

For the Su Family, it was in fact Su Mu himself who really needed to be kept in the dark.

As for others, it was purely a matter of playing along with necessity.

If others knew Su Mu’s true identity, how could it possibly be kept from Su Mu himself?

Now that Su Mu knew his own identity, naturally there was no longer any reason to hide anything from other people.

There was no issue of convenience or inconvenience anymore.

Su Mu’s answer was only targeting the question of convenience, without intending to cause any ambiguity.

However, to Wang Yiming, it seemed to mean something entirely different.

Wang Yiming felt Mr. Su’s reply might be a roundabout acceptance of his invitation, right?

After all, Mr. Su had said there were no inconveniences, hadn’t he?

That is, if Mr. Su were to participate in ’Happy Sunday’, it should not conflict with his identity.

A smile unconsciously appeared on Wang Yiming’s face, as if Su Mu had already accepted his invitation.

"Look, Director Wang is smiling."

"My God, has the sun risen from the west today? Our most, most, most severe Director Wang is actually smiling?"

"No kidding, Director Wang does look much better when he smiles than when his face is all serious."

"Is now the time to research Director Wang’s smile? Shouldn’t we be trying to figure out why Director Wang is smiling?"

"I just saw the handsome guy say something to Director Wang, and then Director Wang smiled."

"Could it be that the handsome guy agreed to something with Director Wang?"

"What could the handsome guy agree to with Director Wang? If the handsome guy agrees to anything, it must be to join ’Happy Sunday’."

"That’s great—this means I still have a chance to see more of the handsome guy."

"You should say that to Miss He."

Seeing a companion getting a little too carried away, someone nearby "kindly" reminded.

"Forget it, as if I didn’t say anything. I’d better take the opportunity to watch the handsome guy some more."

So reminded by the companion, the girl shrank back.

Caught up in the moment, the girl forgot about Miss He, who had only left for a short while.

Thinking of Miss He’s cold face, the girl felt as if the temperature around her had suddenly dropped several degrees.

"Mr. Su, does this mean you agree to participate in the filming of ’Happy Sunday’?"

"Rest assured, no matter what your requirements are, I will certainly do my best to accommodate them."

Wang Yiming’s attitude was surprisingly good.

If it were someone who knew Wang Yiming well, they might think he was being too accommodating to Su Mu.

"Su Mu, if you really go on ’Happy Sunday’, I can guarantee you’ll become an instant hit."

"If you were to debut then, it’s not just about the Four Heavenly Kings anymore, you’ll directly be the king of kings."

Four Eyes had finally recovered from the shock.

Four Eyes felt having Su Mu as a friend might be the correctest thing he had ever done in his life.

Four Eyes’ heart was brimming with excitement, as if he could already see Su Mu becoming the star that everyone watched.

Compared to the calm demeanor of Su Mu, the actual party concerned, Four Eyes seemed to be the one Director Wang had always been inviting, the person who was ready to become nationally famous at any moment.

"The king of kings? You can go and be a sausage if you like, but don’t involve me."

Su Mu expressed considerable disdain for Four Eyes’ comment.

Wasn’t the king of kings just another term for sausage?

Su Mu certainly didn’t want such an unpleasant nickname.

"Su Mu, I mean that if you were to debut, you would surely be more formidable than the Four Heavenly Kings."

Four Eyes seemed anxious in his explanation, as if worried his inappropriate metaphor might affect Su Mu’s so-called debut.

"Alright, stop teasing, who said I wanted to debut?"

"I’m not at all interested in being a star."

Su Mu felt that he had been the center of attention since he was a child.

Although the young Su Mu appeared to be from an ordinary family, he had the natural good looks right from birth and a scholar’s intellect.

The young Su Mu grew up under the gaze of many watchful eyes.

Not to mention after Su Mu announced his identity as the young master of the Su Family conglomerate.

Anyone who knew Su Mu’s true identity would then give him countless looks of admiration.

Su Mu never found these troublesome.

But this was different from being a star.

Being a star meant having almost no privacy.

The sheer power of the paparazzi could be unimaginably strong.

Moreover, as stars are public figures, you couldn’t even stop the paparazzi’s "daily work."

All this didn’t take much thought for Su Mu to find repellent.

Being a star was all about making money or becoming famous.

For Su Mu, money was never an issue.

Having the Su Family conglomerate alone was enough for Su Mu to live off for several lifetimes—even dozens of lifetimes.

Not to mention Su Mu also had the system, which was another excellent asset.

The system said it wouldn’t provide substantive cash or assets, but what it did provide could make money.

Just like the stock market information and the information about Subway Line 5, they had made Su Mu quite a bit of money.

It could be said that as long as Su Mu wanted to make money, all he had to do was go to a related venue.

As for being famous, that was something Su Mu wanted even less.

Su Mu had no habit of exposing his privacy to the public.

Su Mu couldn’t think of any good in becoming famous.

Could it be more useful than the rewards the system brought to him?

The answer was definitely no.

Therefore, Su Mu really couldn’t figure out why he would want to become a star.

According to Su Mu’s summary, it was a matter where the disadvantages outweighed the advantages.

Su Mu felt that there might not even be any advantages at all.

Because the benefits of being a star were nothing special to Su Mu.

"Mr. Su, do you mean you’re unwilling to participate in the filming of our Happy Sunday program?"

Su Mu’s straightforward answer made Wang Yiming somewhat anxious.

Was it possible he had thought too much, and Mr. Su had never agreed in the first place?

But Mr. Su had clearly stated that there was nothing inconvenient, right?

If there’s nothing inconvenient, doesn’t that mean he is willing?

Wang Yiming felt that he had always been mixing in society and shouldn’t be out of touch, right?

How could he have misunderstood such simple words?

"Mr. Su, if you have any concerns or other requirements, you can mention them, and I will definitely try my best to meet your demands," Wang Yiming said.

Wang Yiming now completely saw Su Mu as a big star.

Moreover, he was one of those top-tier stars that ordinary people couldn’t even invite.

"I don’t have any demands; I simply don’t want to participate in any entertainment programs, nor do I want to become the star you’re talking about," Su Mu explained.

Not wanting Director Wang to continue misunderstanding his intentions, Su Mu made his stance clear.

Su Mu’s previous remark about nothing being inconvenient was just indicating it had nothing to do with his identity.

Su Mu’s identity had been made public; there was no need for any secrecy.

Anyway, the Su Family only really wanted to keep one person a secret, which was Su Mu himself.

Now that the main person himself knew, there of course was no need to keep secrets from others.

Additionally, since Su Mu had come of age, making his identity public was also quite beneficial for the Su Family enterprise.

Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping weren’t young anymore.

Originally, the outside world thought that the two didn’t have children, and there were quite a lot of rumors.

Now by revealing that the successor of the next generation of the Su Family had already come of age, it was very beneficial for the reputation of the Su Family enterprise.

That’s why Su Mu mentioned there was nothing inconvenient.

Because indeed, there was no need to hide anything.

However, whether it’s convenient or not is one thing; willingness is quite another matter.

Su Mu really had no interest in entering the entertainment industry.

For Su Mu, enjoying life and properly attending university were the truly important things.

"Mr. Su, I really admire your talent, which is why I wanted to invite you to participate in the filming of our Happy Sunday program," Wang Yiming assured.

"It’s just asking you to join Happy Sunday, not scouting stars or suggesting you become one," he added.

Wang Yiming was quite shrewd and quickly realized what Su Mu was truly declining.

Not wanting to become a star!

Wang Yiming figured if Mr. Su didn’t want to become a star, it was best to avoid the topic altogether.

After all, Happy Sunday wasn’t a program for fostering stars.

Basically, those who could appear on Happy Sunday were already big stars.

Of course, except for Su Mu, whom Wang Yiming was now earnestly inviting.

In Wang Yiming’s eyes, Mr. Su was far more interesting than any big star.

Mr. Su’s good looks need no introduction; they could easily captivate all young girls, aunties, even grandmas, without fail.

Even without seeing Mr. Su’s face, Wang Yiming was sure that as soon as Mr. Su spoke, he would absolutely make all the audience "kneel."

Phrases like ’voice of an angel’ or ’earthly rarity’ couldn’t perfectly describe Mr. Su’s singing prowess.

Of course, once Su Mu appeared on Happy Sunday, whether he would become a star was beyond Wang Yiming’s prediction.

Wang Yiming just wanted the viewership for his Happy Sunday to soar with Mr. Su’s participation.

"Are you doubting our intelligence?"

Four Eyes was quick to speak up, and Su Mu didn’t want to say much more to Wang Yiming.

But Four Eyes felt that Wang Yiming was somewhat looking down on him and Su Mu.

What did he mean by ’just’ appearing on Happy Sunday, not inviting Su Mu to become a star?

Once Su Mu was on Happy Sunday, wouldn’t the whole country recognize him?

Then, even if Su Mu didn’t want to be a star, there would surely be a horde of paparazzi and fans waiting to ambush Su Mu every day.

Four Eyes thought that Wang Yiming was evading the main point, and his only aim was to trick Su Mu onto Happy Sunday.

"If our Su Mu appears on your Happy Sunday, how could he not become famous?"

"Just look at Su Mu’s good looks and his singing talent; isn’t he much better than those popular celebrities from Xinghuan Entertainment?"

"Can you guarantee that no one will bother Su Mu then?"

"How can you, a great director, deceive people like this? Was your title of ’great director’ also acquired by deception?"

Four Eyes felt it unforgivable that Wang Yiming actually tried to hoodwink Su Mu.

Launching into a barrage, Four Eyes felt he must make Wang Yiming not dare to underestimate himself and Su Mu.

"No, that’s not what I mean, Mr. Su, please don’t misunderstand,"

Wang Yiming waved his hands repeatedly.

Suddenly, Wang Yiming felt that the glasses-wearing chubby in front of him was somewhat troublesome.

It seemed that the main character, Mr. Su, didn’t talk as much as this chubby did.

He really seemed like the meddlesome kind who ’takes a mouse and acts like a dog.’

Wang Yiming didn’t want to entangle with the chubby, as it was mainly Mr. Su’s opinion that mattered.

Otherwise, Wang Yiming knew that no matter what he said, it would be of no use.

"It looks like Director Wang has kicked an iron plate this time; the handsome guy obviously doesn’t want to be on Happy Sunday at all."

"Director Wang usually sets such a high bar for the Happy Sunday program, and for us newcomers, it’s an impossible height. Now, at last, someone is putting Director Wang in his place."

"Wait, the handsome guy has rejected Director Wang’s invitation, which indicates that he has no interest in the entertainment industry at all."

"Right, we all saw that; do you have anything else profound to say?"

"What do you think will happen if Miss He comes back and sees Director Wang pestering the handsome guy to debut him? How will Director Wang explain it to Miss He?"

"Now this is going to be a good show."

Maybe it’s because Wang Yiming usually comes off as too arrogant; he isn’t very popular.

Of course, he is unpopular mainly among the newcomers or artists who haven’t signed a contract yet.

As for other high-ranking figures, Wang Yiming must be quite good at socializing to get to the position of director for Happy Sunday.

"There’s nothing to misunderstand. I came to Xinghuan Entertainment not to become a star, nor will I participate in filming for your Happy Sunday show."

"You don’t need to waste your time here anymore; no matter what you say, I won’t change my mind."

Su Mu didn’t want to waste everyone’s time and thought it was better to make things clear.

Because a single sentence from him had caused Wang Yiming to misunderstand.

This time Su Mu made himself clear, crystal clear.

If Wang Yiming still couldn’t understand Su Mu’s attitude, then he really had wasted all those years in the entertainment industry for nothing.

How could he have become a director with no perceptiveness?
