Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 359 - 358: Savoring Alone

"Isn’t that the same as not knowing each other?"

"There are plenty of people in Huadong City who know of Su Mu, but there aren’t many who can actually claim to be known by him."

"So that means you don’t really know Su Mu, do you?"

"Have you been hanging around here for a reason?"

He Qiya didn’t spare Wang Yiming any face, bluntly stating the facts.

"This..."

Wang Yiming hadn’t expected the young lady’s words to be so "poisonous", mercilessly exposing his pretense.

Wang Yiming had thought the young lady would be interested in him as a judge for the ’Most Graceful Girl’ talent show.

But it turned out she couldn’t have cared less about him.

Wang Yiming felt at a loss for words.

What should he say to this young lady?

Wang Yiming was thinking, if he were to tell Miss He directly that he wanted to invite Mr. Su to participate in the recording of Happy Sunday.

He wondered what her attitude would be?

Wang Yiming felt somewhat anxious.

Miss He of Xinghuan Entertainment always had an icy demeanor.

Of course, the way Miss He spoke to Mr. Su a moment ago was an exception.

"Director Wang would like to invite Su Mu to participate in his Happy Sunday show."

Four Eyes had been excited at the prospect of finally learning about the girl in the background.

But with Wang Yiming popping up and spouting some nonsense, Four Eyes felt that Wang Yiming’s interruption was delaying his search for the girl.

Dissatisfied, Four Eyes revealed that Wang Yiming had been persistently pursuing Su Mu, wanting him to join Happy Sunday.

In Four Eyes’ view, Su Mu had already rejected Wang Yiming outright.

This meant that Su Mu wasn’t interested in Happy Sunday.

If Su Mu wasn’t interested, then Four Eyes naturally lost interest as well.

Four Eyes, with a deep sense of self-awareness, knew that even if he were interested, it wouldn’t matter.

He had no illusions about entertaining such impractical fantasies.

Now, all Four Eyes wanted was to find his mystery girl as soon as possible.

So, Wang Yiming being here was somewhat inconvenient.

After all, it was Wang Yiming who had imposed himself, wasn’t it?

No one here had invited him to join the conversation, right?

"Participate in the Happy Sunday show?"

"Isn’t that an entertainment program? Su Mu is not from the entertainment industry, so why invite him to participate?"

He Qiya had also watched the Happy Sunday program before.

After returning to the country, she didn’t really have any friends.

Not to mention attending social activities.

With time on her hands, He Qiya obviously watched TV to pass the boring time.

From an objective standpoint, He Qiya thought that Happy Sunday was quite a good entertainment program.

But He Qiya also noticed that the guests invited to Happy Sunday were all celebrities.

And not just any celebrities could appear on it.

One could say that only stars of a certain caliber could get on the Happy Sunday show.

He Qiya was very clear that Su Mu wasn’t a star.

Naturally, she couldn’t understand why Wang Yiming would want to invite him to Happy Sunday.

Of course, all these were not the most important things.

The most important thing was Su Mu’s attitude.

Before Wang Yiming could open his mouth to explain, He Qiya’s gaze, which had just left Su Mu for a few seconds, returned to him once again.

"Su Mu, do you want to participate in the ’Happy Sunday’ show?"

He Qiya felt that as long as it was what Su Mu wanted, even if it meant changing the rules, she would definitely follow his wishes.

Though He Qiya also knew that Su Mu was already eye-catching enough.

If Su Mu participated in the ’Happy Sunday’ show, there would definitely be even more female fans chasing after him.

By then, as a public figure, Su Mu would give those girls who liked him a legitimate excuse: chasing a celebrity.

Of course, He Qiya hoped that this situation would not occur.

For now, her relationship with Su Mu was still just that of ordinary friends.

He Qiya knew that Su Mu seemed to have never thought about her in any other way.

Even though He Qiya had been trying hard to get Su Mu to notice her.

Of course, that attention didn’t mean He Qiya wanted Su Mu to glance at her a few more times or anything like that.

What He Qiya really hoped for was that Su Mu would feel her affection and thus resonate with it in some way.

Perhaps it was because He Qiya had been too subtle in expressing herself, coupled with Su Mu’s apparent lack of romantic interest in her.

Even when most of the people around could see He Qiya’s feelings for Su Mu, not a single one dared to point it out.

This was also because among these people, aside from Four Eyes who had just realized it, no one else dared or had the opportunity to discuss these matters with Su Mu.

He Qiya felt that even with the current situation, her relationship with Su Mu was still a long way off.

For He Qiya, it was merely a faint glimmer of hope.

This glimmer was the fact that Su Mu’s attitude toward her was still quite good.

He Qiya had felt that her relationship with Su Mu must have improved significantly when he agreed to spend her birthday with her.

But this had nothing to do with romantic love.

He Qiya was very clear about this in her heart.

The thought that if Su Mu became a big star, her own chances would be reduced considerably.

There was inevitably a taste of bitterness in He Qiya’s heart.

Even though He Qiya was unhappy, she wouldn’t lash out at Su Mu.

This nameless rage could only be vented towards the person responsible—Wang Yiming.

He Qiya had never heard Su Mu express a desire to become a star either.

He Qiya believed that given Su Mu’s family background, becoming a star wouldn’t add much of a luster to him.

The Su Family enterprise was powerful. How much could a star earn?

Probably not even close to a fraction of Su Family’s revenue.

Of course, this was just He Qiya’s own thinking.

Regarding Su Mu’s affairs, He Qiya did not dare to draw conclusions rashly.

Even though He Qiya personally felt that Su Mu wouldn’t want to become a star,

she thought she should still ask Su Mu’s opinion first before making a final judgment.

"No, I’m not interested."

Because of He Qiya’s question, Wang Yiming’s not-so-large eyes were also firmly fixed on Su Mu.

At that moment, it seemed like whatever word Su Mu spoke was tremendously important to Wang Yiming.

Very disappointed, Wang Yiming did not hear the answer he wanted to hear.

Instead, he was directly rejected.

In addition to disappointment, Wang Yiming now felt dissatisfaction towards Four Eyes for interrupting.

Wang Yiming thought Four Eyes spoke too soon. He hadn’t had the chance to persuade Mr. Su yet.

Now, it turned out that Mr. Su straightforwardly refused in front of Miss He.

Wang Yiming knew that this time there truly was no hope.

"Mr. Su, Miss He, here’s what I think: Mr. Su’s talent is so remarkable, it’d be a real shame for it to go unnoticed."

"So I am sincerely inviting Mr. Su to participate in the ’Happy Sunday’ program."

"Now it seems that Mr. Su and Miss He are quite familiar with each other."

"Miss He is the daughter of Chairman He of Xinghuan Entertainment, so by that connection Mr. Su is practically one of us."

"Mr. Su, consider it as doing a favor, and record an episode of the show."

In his heart, Wang Yiming already knew there was no hope, yet he still harbored that tiny bit of wishful thinking.

Wang Yiming felt that possibly Miss He was not yet aware of Mr. Su’s talents.

Maybe if Miss He knew about Mr. Su’s astonishing talents, she might change her attitude and help persuade Mr. Su? After all, this would definitely be a beneficial affair for Xinghuan Entertainment.

Especially since ’Happy Sunday’ is Xinghuan Entertainment’s trump card program.

If the viewership of ’Happy Sunday’ could climb to a new level, then Xinghuan Entertainment’s nationwide reputation would also increase.

Anyway, Wang Yiming thought that Mr. Su’s participation in ’Happy Sunday’ would definitely be a great thing for Xinghuan Entertainment.

Now, it all depended on what Miss He really thought.

Of course, even if Miss He agreed with Wang Yiming’s ideas, it would only be the first step of a thousand-mile journey.

The final outcome would definitely depend on Mr. Su’s own wishes.

But a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and right now, Wang Yiming considered He Qiya’s attitude to be his first step.

"Miss He, you might not be aware of Mr. Su’s talents, I have a video here, please take a look."

He was terribly afraid that He Qiya would outright reject it, leaving him no chance to persuade her.

Wang Yiming didn’t wait for He Qiya to express her opinion, he already handed over his smartphone, which he had been holding in the palm of his hand, to He Qiya.

This time, Wang Yiming didn’t need to tap several times or unlock anything complicated.

Since he hadn’t exited the video earlier, Wang Yiming only needed to press the restart button.

He Qiya slightly frowned.

Does Wang Yiming really lack such tact?

Su Mu had already expressed his disinterest, yet here was Wang Yiming, still insistent on persuading him?

Originally, He Qiya did not want to look at Wang Yiming’s phone.

But Wang Yiming said that his phone contained a video of Su Mu’s incredible talents.

He Qiya was curious about what Wang Yiming referred to as Su Mu’s incredible talents.

He Qiya had always wanted to learn more about Su Mu.

This was a great opportunity that He Qiya certainly did not want to miss.

Her eyes involuntarily focused on Wang Yiming’s phone and she began to watch intently.

He Qiya realized that this was a scene of Su Mu singing at the Su Family’s celebration banquet.

At the time, He Qiya was too engrossed in enjoying Su Mu’s singing to notice that someone had recorded the moment with a smartphone.

He Qiya felt some regret.

Why hadn’t she thought to record Su Mu’s singing performance with her phone?

Of course, He Qiya wasn’t going to post it on her social circle.

It wasn’t like He Qiya had many WeChat friends to begin with, so there was really no need to post it.

Even if He Qiya had numerous friends, she wouldn’t share such an important video in her social circle.

For He Qiya, if she had been smarter at the time and thought to record Su Mu singing,

she would definitely have kept it to herself to savor slowly.

He Qiya had already enjoyed Su Mu’s singing live at the venue.

But even now, watching it on Wang Yiming’s phone, He Qiya couldn’t look away.

It wasn’t until Su Mu’s song ended that He Qiya realized she had been too engrossed.

But it seemed like no one else cared about that.

Su Mu was chatting with Four Eyes about something.

As He Qiya stared at Wang Yiming’s phone, Su Mu started to get bored.

Su Mu knew that He Qiya was also at the scene at the time.

Originally, Su Mu thought He Qiya would just take a glance and that would be it.

He didn’t expect He Qiya to look so focused and absorbed.

Not wanting to waste time, Su Mu and Four Eyes discussed what they would do after getting information about the mysterious girl from the photos.

Su Mu realized that Four Eyes was quite unprepared.

When it came to Su Mu’s questions, Four Eyes clearly hadn’t done his homework.

Four Eyes didn’t even know what to do if he found out the phone number or other details about the girl in the photographs.

Four Eyes had pondered all afternoon the previous day, primarily focusing on how to speak to the girl without seeming too abrupt when he met her.

He wanted to show his idol, the girl of his dreams, his sincerity.

Of course, in the end, Four Eyes hadn’t come up with the perfect thing to say.

In the end, Four Eyes thought that since he was going with Su Mu, maybe Su Mu would give him some good advice when the time came.

Su Mu, preoccupied with a problem he had yet to solve himself, obviously couldn’t think about other issues.

For instance, the current situation where the girl might actually no longer be at Xinghuan Entertainment.

Four Eyes had considered the possibility that the girl he was looking for might not be an employee of Xinghuan Entertainment.

But he hadn’t thought about how he would face her if his guess turned out to be true.

"Su Mu, maybe you can help me figure it out later?"

After all, Four Eyes had come to view Su Mu as his savior.

Naturally, he placed all his hopes on Su Mu.

And it’s not like Four Eyes could rely on anyone else but Su Mu.

Four Eyes knew he lacked experience in this area.

Although Su Mu didn’t have any experience in actively pursuing girls either.

But Four Eyes felt that at least Su Mu was already in a relationship.

He definitely must be better at this than himself.

"Do you really want to be a hands-off manager? You want me to come up with solutions for everything?"

"Why don’t you just have me date her for you?"

Su Mu was amused by Four Eyes’ words.

Su Mu felt like today’s search for the girl was somehow becoming his own problem.

If everything was done by Su Mu, then the role of the male lead in Four Eyes’ love story could very well be switched out.

"That won’t do, Su Mu, you can’t steal my girl."

Four Eyes was aware of the gap between himself and Su Mu.

He knew Su Mu was just joking.

But Four Eyes felt he should still make it clear to Su Mu seriously.

Even though he knew Su Mu would never actually do such a thing.

But Four Eyes still felt some pressure.

After all, his friend was so outstanding, if the girl actually took a fancy to Su Mu, Four Eyes didn’t know what he would do.

Four Eyes felt that Su Mu’s attitude would be the most crucial then.

If Su Mu acted a bit colder toward his girl, maybe she would turn around and give Four Eyes a few more glances.

Four Eyes looked at Su Mu with utmost sincerity, waiting for an answer.
