House Dad's Literary Life-Chapter 266

Chapter 266 – Would Rather Die Than Surrender

In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend again, and Jiangcheng Media’s campus was still very lively. Although the students didn’t have classes, the various clubs still took advantage of the last month of leisure time before the approaching review week to organize activities. Even though the weather turn cold and the north wind bitingly cold, it couldn’t stop their enthusiasm. Banners were displayed along the way, and advertisements and flyers filled the air.

Guo Ziyi finally had some rare free time. Today, there were no arrangements from the film club, so he decided to go to Yang Yi’s shop to hang out and have some food and drink.

However, shortly after he came down from the dormitory, he was stopped by someone.

“Guo Ziyi, you’re Guo Ziyi, right?” The person had a slicked-back, greasy hairstyle and was dressed in a suit with a tie, giving off the appearance of a successful individual.

“I am. What are you looking for me for?” Guo Ziyi looked at the other party again and again, but couldn’t match him with any of the impressions in his mind, confirming that he was a stranger.

The other party was still very enthusiastic. After confirming, he reached out and shook hands with Guo Ziyi, and then handed over a business card. “Hello, hello, I’m a talent scout from Ronghuada Talent Agency. You can call me Wen Gu. Have you heard of Ronghuada? We’re quite well-known in Xiangnan!”

He even raised his thumb, looking very proud.

“I haven’t heard of it… but your name seems familiar to me…”

This was awkward, but Wen Gu didn’t mind. He laughed and said, “Our agency is still well-known. By the way, do you remember Thousand Miles Chuan-Shu from your school? They were signed by our agency.”

“Oh, so it’s you!” Guo Ziyi wasn’t particularly interested, but since he had introduced himself so sincerely, he pretended to be enthusiastic and smiled.

“That’s right, it’s us!” Wen Gu said. “Also, Thousand Miles Chuan-Shu, they brought a CD, the CD from your freshman welcome party, and that’s how we discovered your singing talent. We decided to come and dig you up and cultivate you to become a new star in the future pop music scene!”

Weng Gu was talking about the future, leaving a bit of a trap. They wanted to dig out Guo Zi, but they probably only wanted to sign him as a trainee.

Guo Ziyi didn’t understand all these twists and turns, but he waved his hand and said, “I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I don’t want to develop in the music industry.”

As a man who aspired to be a film emperor, why would he become a singer?

Guo Ziyi was still very firm in his goals.

“Why? Being a singing star is so glamorous. Just imagine, walking down the street, being surrounded by fans, receiving gifts and affection from a bunch of female fans…” Wen Gu tried to persuade him, exaggerating and enticing him with his words.

“No reason, my ambition lies elsewhere.”

“But you have great talent in music. Of course, that talent needs our company’s help to be transformed into true excellence. But if you give up on yourself, it would be such a pity,” Wen Gu expressed a regretful expression.

“Let’s just forget about it. I don’t want to be a singer,” Guo Ziyi waved his hand.

However, talent scouts are like sticky candies, and Wen Gu continued to cling to him. “Young people shouldn’t immediately limit their future. You have never been a star before and have not experienced the glory of being in the spotlight. Why not give yourself a chance? Give it a try…”

Guo Ziyi was annoyed by this persistent pestering. He waved his hand, ready to leave. But Weng Gu still followed him closely, chattering non-stop!

“Are you done? Don’t bother me!” Even a person with a good temperament like Guo Zi couldn’t help but shout and ran away.

“Hey, don’t go! Even if business doesn’t work out, let’s maintain our friendship. I still want to ask if you have any contact information for Mu Li’ang… Huh, where did he go? How can someone so chubby run so fast? That’s not scientific…” Wen Gu called out, trying to catch up, but when he turned a corner, Guo Ziyi disappeared from his sight.

From upstairs of the nearby Physics Institute, Guo Ziyi was secretly looking out the window. Seeing Weng Gu talking to himself and walking away, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“There are still people who can speak better than me! It’s too scary!” Guo Zi still patted his chest with some lingering fear, “Fortunately, I’m quite familiar with the school.”

After Guo Ziyi went downstairs, he took a different route to the north gate. But he hadn’t walked far when someone grabbed his shoulder.

Little fatty trembled and turned around, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “I’ve already said I don’t want to be a singer. Please don’t bother me anymore…”

His voice abruptly stopped because he saw that the person holding him was no longer that Wen Gu! Instead, it was a strong man, or to be precise, four men in military uniforms. The one holding him had a nearly shaved head, leaving only a hint of stubble that appeared bluish.1The muscles on his face made him look fierce.

However, he only looked fierce. The other party’s awkward appearance made Guo Ziyi feel that this soldier brother was still a bit honest at that moment.

The one who rashly grabbed him was Guo Dabao, and the three behind him didn’t need to be said. They were Luo Zongsheng, Shen Xinyu, and Yu Xiaotian, who took advantage of the day off on the weekend to find Yang Yi.

Guo Dabao had originally volunteered to drive them over. However, after staying in the army for a long time, Guo Dabao suddenly remembered after arriving at Jiangcheng Media that he only knew that Yang Yi had opened a coffee shop, but didn’t know where it is.

This was awkward!

What was even more awkward was that Guo Dabao bravely led the three guests to search for it and ended up getting lost in the huge campus.

In the end, Guo Dabao had no choice but to ask for directions and happened to catch Guo Ziyi. As a result, as soon as the other party turned around, he was scolded. Guo Dabao couldn’t get angry with an ordinary student.

Guo Ziyi himself felt embarrassed when he saw the other party’s awkward appearance. He coughed twice and said, “Uh, sorry, I mistook you for someone else. What do you guys want with me?”

Shen Xinyu couldn’t stand it anymore. He patted Guo Dabao’s shoulder and walked up to Guo Ziyi, saying, “Excuse us, we’re looking for a coffee shop. The name of the coffee shop… uh, I don’t know that either, but the owner’s name is Yang Yi, and it’s located at Jiangchuan Media University. Do you know where it is?”

This question was really asked to the right person! Jiangcheng Media has tens of thousands of students, but only a few knew about Yang Yi, and Guo Ziyi happened to be one of them!

But Guo Ziyi first smiled, then put away his smile, and looked at them with some suspicion. “What are you looking for at the coffee shop owned by Yang Yi?”

Several possibilities flashed through Guo Ziyi’s mind: Are they causing trouble? Seeking revenge? Or did Big Brother Yang do something wrong and the soldiers came to catch him?

Little fatty even fantasized that the four of them would kidnap him and take him to a small grove, where they would tie him up, torture him to force him to reveal Yang Yi’s whereabouts, and then his own heroic act of choosing death rather than surrender.

Just as he was fantasizing, Shen Xinyu exchanged a delighted look with his brothers. Guo Ziyi’s reaction clearly showed that he knew about Yang Yi’s whereabouts.

“It’s like this, the three of us are Yang Yi’s former comrades-in-arms. We haven’t seen each other for a long time. We finally got information about him and wanted to visit him”, Shen Xinyu explained.

So, that’s the situation. Guo Ziyi suddenly realized and said slightly disappointed, “Comrades-in-arms? Alright then, I happen to be going to Big Brother Yang place too. I’ll take you guys with me!”
