Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 360 - 359: Too Powerful Identity
Chapter 360: Chapter 359: Too Powerful Identity
"Don’t worry, even if the girl you’re interested in is a fairy descended from heaven, I wouldn’t be interested in her."
Su Mu wasn’t really trying to reassure Four Eyes.
He wasn’t lacking in girls who liked him; how could he develop feelings for a girl his friend liked?
What Su Mu said was simply the honest truth.
You shouldn’t covet your friend’s lover, and when Four Eyes told Su Mu he had fallen for the silhouette of that girl.
Any potential connection between Su Mu and the silhouette girl became impossible.
Even if the silhouette girl ended up liking Su Mu, it could only be an ending without an actual resolution.
"That’s a relief, Su Mu, I know you were just joking earlier."
"I’m not worried you’ll have any designs on my silhouette girl, we were classmates after all, I still understand you to some extent."
"It’s just, in front of you, I always feel a bit too ordinary, and I can’t help worrying that when the time comes, she might prefer you over me."
In front of Su Mu, Four Eyes felt there was no point in hiding his concerns, so he opened up about them.
Four Eyes didn’t think feeling inferior to Su Mu was something to be ashamed of.
Who in the entire Huadong City International Middle School could compare to Su Mu?
Not to mention that Su Mu was now the young master of the Su Family.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that in the whole Huadong City, there was no young person who could match up to Su Mu.
"You’re overthinking it, love is still a matter of fate."
Su Mu patted Four Eyes on the shoulder, which was a form of encouragement for him.
Aside from Su Mu and Four Eyes, the only others present were He Qiya, Wang Yiming, and the talent show producer who came with He Qiya.
While Su Mu and Four Eyes were chatting, He Qiya and the others were intently watching Wang Yiming’s phone.
It wasn’t until the video ended that He Qiya, Wang Yiming, and the producer snapped back to reality.
"Miss He, don’t you also think it would be such a waste if Mr. Su’s talent went unnoticed?"
Wang Yiming was mainly showing the video for He Qiya, of course, paying close attention to her reaction.
Seeing He Qiya stare unblinkingly at the screen of his phone, Wang Yiming felt he’d made the right bet.
Miss He probably didn’t know about Mr. Su’s talents in this area and must have been captivated just now.
"Where did you get this video from?"
Instead of answering Wang Yiming’s question, He Qiya asked him one.
"I saw it on my social circle, but my friend also shared it from someone else, who had also shared it."
"I asked my friends to enquire about it, but because it was shared by so many people, no one knows who posted it first."
"And no one knows where Mr. Su sang this song either."
At this point, Wang Yiming also felt a bit regretful.
If only he could find out where Mr. Su first performed this song.
That way, he might have been able to gather more information.
Including Mr. Su’s personal details.
Wang Yiming believed that the more comprehensive the information he had, the more confident he could be in convincing Mr. Su to join the recording of his Happy Sunday.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated, an eternal truth.
"Want to know?"
He Qiya saw Su Mu and Four Eyes talking about something, and she didn’t want to rudely interrupt.
She also became interested in teasing Wang Yiming.
He Qiya considered this a small punishment for him, insisting on getting Su Mu to join Happy Sunday.
He Qiya didn’t care that Happy Sunday was a program under Xinghuan Entertainment.
To He Qiya, what company matter could possibly be more important than Su Mu?
Moreover, He Qiya also had a little trick up her sleeve.
He Qiya figured that if she told Wang Yiming who Su Mu really was,
Wang Yiming probably wouldn’t have the guts to invite Su Mu to the show "Happy Sunday".
Even if he wanted to invite him, he couldn’t make it happen!
"Want to? Of course, I’d love to, Miss He, do you know where Mr. Su sang this song?"
In fact, Wang Yiming was somewhat doubtful.
If Miss He knew where Mr. Su sang this song, shouldn’t she have heard it before?
But He Qiya looked genuinely captivated just now, as though she was hearing it for the first time.
Wang Yiming was confused and felt that the likelihood of He Qiya knowing wasn’t high.
With a ’nothing ventured, nothing gained’ attitude, Wang Yiming thought having some hope was better than none.
Perhaps there really could be a miracle, and Miss He might actually know, right?
"I do know, Su Mu sang this song at the Su Family Group’s listing celebration banquet."
"I was there at the scene."
He Qiya also found it somewhat strange.
At that time, Su Mu was supposed to do a duet with her.
Because He Qiya felt that if she sang, it would affect the beauty of Su Mu’s singing.
So throughout the event, He Qiya never sang a single note.
Yet He Qiya stood right beside Su Mu the whole time, even though she didn’t sing.
He Qiya had carefully watched the video just now, and not even a corner of her clothing appeared in it besides Su Mu.
It seemed the person who filmed this video did so with great "care".
Perfectly avoiding any angle that He Qiya appeared in, not giving her any "opportunity" to be seen.
He Qiya thought that for sure, it must have been a girl who filmed this video.
Otherwise, why would there be a need to deliberately exclude her?
After all, at that time, He Qiya was prepared to perform a duet with Su Mu.
It was only later that He Qiya herself gave up on such a great opportunity.
"The Su Family Group’s celebration banquet?"
"So Mr. Su..."
Wang Yiming didn’t even know what he specifically wanted to ask anymore.
He just felt that Su Family Group and Mr. Su being so coincidentally connected was a bit much, wasn’t it?
Wang Yiming was aware of the Su Family Group, its chairman’s name was Su Ruizhi, obviously surnamed Su.
Mr. Su also had the surname Su, there was a connection here?
Wang Yiming always felt this connection was very strong.
"Wait, Mr. Su is called Su Mu, I heard from a friend that the Su Family Group’s young master is also named Su Mu."
Wang Yiming finally realized why the name Su Mu sounded familiar when he first heard it.
It turned out "Su Mu" was a name that had become quite popular recently in the upper echelons of society.
Of course, the popularity was not because the name itself was so transcendent and refined.
The reason for its popularity was because its owner held an exceptionally powerful identity.
The young master of the Su Family Group, who is also the only heir apparent.
And it looked like he might be the only heir for good.
Given Su Ruizhi’s age, Wang Yiming thought that Chairman Su probably wasn’t planning on having any more children.
After all, he had only one child when he was younger, so it didn’t make sense to have more as he got older, right?
"Yes, Su Mu is the Su Mu of the Su Family Group."
He Qiya’s answer sounded a bit convoluted, but it was quite simple.
He Qiya seemed well-intentioned and had positively resolved Wang Yiming’s confusion.
"Mr. Su is the young master of the Su Family Group?"
"No wonder Mr. Su has no interest in appearing on Happy Sunday."
"It’s because he simply looks down on being a star."
It was unclear whether he was explaining it to He Qiya or reminding himself of the reason Su Mu kept refusing him.
Wang Yiming muttered to himself for a while.
"Now you know, don’t you? Su Mu just doesn’t care about being a star."
He Qiya’s head lifted unconsciously.
It seemed that He Qiya was very proud as she said these words.
It even gave Wang Yiming a kind of illusion.
It was as though He Qiya wasn’t the young miss of Xinghuan Entertainment but had some connection with the Su Family Group instead.
Wang Yiming felt aggrieved inside, his primary goal in trying to get Mr. Su on Happy Sunday.
The most direct purpose was to boost the show’s ratings.
But isn’t it ultimately for the sake of Xinghuan Entertainment?
Why can’t Miss He see any of this in her eyes?
Wang Yiming originally thought that Miss He, after knowing Mr. Su’s remarkable talents, might change her mind and even help him persuade Mr. Su.
Now, it seemed that Wang Yiming was right in his initial judgment.
Miss He genuinely seemed not to want Mr. Su to participate in her show from the bottom of her heart.
But it appeared that Miss He respected Mr. Su’s own opinion very much.
That is why she first sought Su Mu’s standpoint before daring to express her own.
Moreover, He Qiya herself said that she was there when Su Mu was singing.
This shows that He Qiya was quite aware of Su Mu’s talents.
Now, there was no need for Wang Yiming to even try persuading him.
Su Mu was the young master of the Su Family Group and the sole heir.
How could Wang Yiming dare to talk to Su Mu about compensation any longer?
Wang Yiming felt that even the pocket money of Young Master Su might be higher than the compensation he offered.
Of course, this was before Wang Yiming knew of Su Mu’s own ability to make money.
If Wang Yiming had known about Su Mu’s feats in the stock market and with the Metro Economic Circle,
he might have bitten his own tongue off.
Considering the time Wang Yiming offered Su Mu a fee equal to the highest-paid stars,
Wang Yiming actually felt very pleased with himself.
He thought that for a young person, that must have seemed like an astronomical figure.
It’s just that, at that time, Wang Yiming was so focused on Su Mu’s face, just to confirm if Su Mu was indeed the protagonist in his video.
Wang Yiming hadn’t paid proper attention to Su Mu’s attire.
If Wang Yiming had looked a little closer, he would have realized that Su Mu really wasn’t short of money.
"I’m sorry, Miss He, I was unaware of Mr. Su’s identity at first and have caused offense," Wang Yiming sincerely apologized.
Perhaps for others, the allure of stardom and the ensuing profits are quite enticing.
But for Su Mu, Wang Yiming knew he had targeted the wrong person.
The money a star earns is but a trivial amount compared to the Su Family Group.
For a star, the Su Family Group is akin to a patron.
"You shouldn’t say these words to me, I’m not the one you’ve been bothering."
He Qiya stated that she couldn’t accept Wang Yiming’s apology on behalf of Su Mu.
After all, the person Wang Yiming had been pestering for half a day was not He Qiya, but Su Mu.
Wang Yiming glanced at Mr. Su, who was chatting with a bespectacled chubby kid to one side.
Without any coercion, Wang Yiming walked towards Su Mu.
Su Mu’s conversation with Four Eyes was almost over, too.
Anyway, to sum it up in one sentence, Four Eyes really wasn’t prepared to meet his silhouette girl at all.
Four Eyes dared to come to Xinghuan Entertainment to find someone today, probably because he was emboldened by Su Mu’s company.
Su Mu was quite impressed with Four Eyes’ immense bravery.
Not prepared for anything, yet daring to seek someone out?
What if he got lucky and actually found her?
Would Four Eyes call a timeout and disappear for a moment to think about how to confess to the girl?
Just when Su Mu was at a loss for words, annoyed by his high school classmate,
Su Mu noticed that Wang Yiming was approaching him again.
Could it be that He Qiya, Wang Yiming, and some manager finished watching the video, and now Wang Yiming wanted to come over and brainwash him again?
Su Mu realized He Qiya really didn’t act like a missy at all.
She already knew that he had no interest in Wang Yiming’s entertainment show.
Could He Qiya really let Wang Yiming come and bother him again?
Su Mu felt a bit impatient.
Su Mu came to Xinghuan Entertainment today purely to accompany Four Eyes in finding his silhouette girl.
Su Mu had never thought about becoming a star or anything.
What’s more, Su Mu had clearly stated his position already.
And not just once; Su Mu felt that if Wang Yiming still wanted to say something at this point, it would be truly lacking self-awareness.
Su Mu’s face, which had been friendly and smiling at Four Eyes, cooled down as Wang Yiming approached.
Four Eyes noticed the change in Su Mu’s expression, too.
Of course, it was quite easy to notice someone with Wang Yiming’s large stature approaching.
As Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan had said, apart from studies, Four Eyes was anything but stupid.
Four Eyes naturally understood why Su Mu’s demeanor had changed.
Without speaking, Four Eyes knew that it was better to leave Su Mu to handle the situation.
Wang Yiming was looking for Su Mu; anything Four Eyes wanted to do would be futile.
What Four Eyes had to say held no weight in Wang Yiming’s eyes.
Wang Yiming certainly felt the change in the atmosphere, too.
Mr. Su, I am truly sorry. I didn’t know you were Young Master Su from the Su Family Group, and I even wanted to invite you to join the ’Happy Sunday’ show. I was really blind," said Wang Yiming.
Contrary to Su Mu’s expectations, Wang Yiming didn’t come over to persuade him to join the show this time.
After saying all that, Wang Yiming bowed deeply.
The sincerity in his gesture was overflowing.
Wang Yiming didn’t care how many pairs of eyes were watching him.
Wang Yiming knew that apologizing to Young Master Su of the Su Family Group wasn’t losing face at all.
The onlookers who might not have understood the situation might gossip.
But once they found out Mr. Su’s true identity afterward, they could only envy him.
After all, for such a long time, it was only Wang Yiming who had been talking to Young Master Su of the Su Family Group.
And even for apologizing, the others had no right to do so; only Wang Yiming was qualified.
After all, the others didn’t even have the opportunity to say a word to Mr. Su, so where would they get the chance to apologize?
