“Say something! You have a guilty conscience now, so you don’t dare to speak, is it?! Let me tell you, the day after tomorrow when you meet Zhuo Ran, I will also go. Zhuo Ran promised me. I also want to see exactly what will result from your discussion. 1 Exact words: 我倒要看看，你们谈来谈去能谈出朵什么花 – Literal translation: I want to see what flower can result from your discussion

”It’s nothing much 2 Continuing from the top, the exact words are: 谈不出什么花 I can’t talk about any flowers ; just discussing the contract with Zhuo Ran. You can come along if you want to.”

“You really intend to let your brother sign in Zhaoyang Entertainment, ah! Oh my god, Zhuo Ran actually dares to promise you. Isn’t he afraid that this dear brother of yours will get mad and take down his company!”

“You don’t have to worry. If I am upset, the first company to be crushed down wouldn’t be Zhuo Ran’s. It’d be yours!”

Mu Ziang: …

He was innocent! What did this have to do with him. He was not even Zhaoyang’s boss!

“Then I will have to take a good look, whether your little didi is worth signing when we meet. In case he is a wooden beauty (pretty but cannot express emotions well), and we end up losing money after signing, wouldn’t it be better to not sign?”

“Zhuo Ran doesn’t even mind a piece of deadwood like you, is there anyone else who can lose more money than you?” Si Junduo calmly said, “You should worry about yourself. Ming Ming won’t be there the day after. I will be going alone.”

“You are the dead wood! Why isn’t he coming? Such arrogance.”

“He doesn’t need to come. I’ve already discussed this with Zhuo Ran. He only needs to come when he signs.”

Mu Ziang was speechless. “I think he wouldn’t even need to sign. You could sign on his behalf. Why don’t you just directly become his agent? Or open a studio for him.”

“How do you know that he doesn’t have one? Once this year has ended, after he is certain that it is not on a whim, and he really does want to develop in this circle, then I will open a studio for him and be affiliated with Zhaoyang.”

Mu Ziang : …

Mu Ziang didn’t want to talk to this bro-con anymore. It was too tiring. He was really too careful with this didi he was raising. Even mother hens protecting her chicks couldn’t beat his protection!

But, “Is your brother willing? Has he made up with you?”

“En.”

“Really? Don’t be so moved by your own wishful thinking. In the end, not only does he not appreciate what you do for him, but also thinks that you try to control him.” Mu Ziang had seen this kind of thing happen too many times. The university student Si Junduo had poured his heart over Ming Ming, but it all went down the drain. Whatever Si Junduo did or how much ever he did, Wen Mingyi just pretended to not see it; he simply couldn’t wait for the person in front of him to disappear.

Mu Ziang had always felt that the most resolute person in the world was his good friend Si Junduo, not his own brother. To his neighbor’s brother, Si Junduo was able to be so devoted, it was almost as if he was bewitched!

“Of course it’s true,” Si Junduo interrupted his thoughts. “It was only his rebellious adolescence before. Now that the rebellious phase of adolescence has passed, he will be fine. Okay, I’ll be ending the call now. I have to drive.”

“Oh, then you pay attention to safety.”

“Don’t worry. Who’ll be like you, falling off a bicycle. Do your fans know that their male god can’t ride a bicycle?”

“Shut up!” Mu Ziang became angry and directly hung up the phone. “What’s so great about knowing how to ride a bicycle? There are so many people all over the country who know how to ride. It’d only be great if you don’t know how to ride. Correct, Xiao Wang?”

Assistant Xiao Wang quickly nodded in agreement. “Yes, I don’t know how to ride, what’s so great about someone who can ride a bicycle? Those like us who don’t know how to ride are the only ones who are precious!”

“Don’t add the latter half next time.” Mu Ziang patted him on the shoulder, his eyes filled with sympathy. “Feels so guilty.”

Xiao Wang: …

Life is not easy, Xiao Wang sighed.

Wen Mingyi, who had no idea that his ge not only knew Mu Ziang, but also spoke to him over the phone, arrived at the classroom at this time. He walked speedily, with a hat and a mask on so as to be not recognized. As Wen Mingyi entered the classroom, he took off his hat and mask. The next second he heard the squeals from the girls in the classroom. He smiled helplessly at everyone, and then walked to the last row of empty seats next to Zhang Heng and sat properly.

The girls immediately gathered around and started chattering.

“Wen Mingyi, are you just attending class this time? Isn’t there any filming going on?”

“Wen Mingyi, I’m your fan. I watched every episode of your competition!”

“ Ge , here are my class notes for you of this semester, I hope it will be useful to you.”

……

They were obviously straightforward and enthusiastic people.

“Wen Mingyi, can you give me your autograph? My friend likes you very much.”

“This is a figurine made for you by my friend, please accept it.”

“My friend wanted me to ask you, what are your plans next? Are you going to sign with a company? Will you act in films afterwards?”

……

It was also quite evident that they were implicit and introverted, not real friends.

Wen Mingyi looked at the students crowding in front of him in an orderly manner. He calmly instructed, “One by one. I’ll sign it. Leave it on my desk; everyone will get one. Figurines cannot be accepted. I will be signing with a company, but I haven’t decided who to sign with…”

He picked up the innocuous questions and answered them, without worrying about the classmates turning their heads and posting them on the Internet. Anyway, it was all harmless questions. Replying or not wouldn’t make any difference.

Suddenly, someone asked, “Wen Mingyi, can I start a live broadcast? Would that be okay?”

“Forget it,” Wen Mingyi refused. “I’m here simply for studying. If you broadcast live, everyone would think that I’m making a show. It won’t have any meaning.”

The girl quickly put down her phone when she heard those words, and apologized, “I’m sorry, I didn’t think about this.”

“It’s okay.” Wen Mingyi didn’t mind.

Not far away, the three people circling Sun Xu were looking at this side coldly.

“It’s really a big star. Usually a no-show, the moment he appears, all girls of the class surround him. I thought that our class’s secretary was a very cold person. I didn’t expect her to be chasing stars too.” Wu Peng leaned his head on his hand, noting coldly.

Sun Xu sneered in dissatisfaction. “What kind of big star is a show star! If he really was popular, there would be no time to come back to school. Only if he has no activities or drama filming, would he be back to school. Such thin 18-wire excuse 3 Chinese Idiom: 18线都不入的玩意儿 – implying that such a thing, even a child can understand. Cause 18 guage wire is quite thin so that means the excuse also very thin, no substance. can only be used to lie to the girls in class who don’t understand such stuff.”

Wu Peng and Li Gang snorted and looked toward Sun Xu. “Wasn’t he the first in that competition? The winner is not popular ah?”

“These days there are so many talent shows, how can everyone be so popular? Besides, didn’t you see yesterday’s hot search. The second to fifth position winners formed a group to debut right after the competition. All the press releases did not have him inside. Right now they’re attending all sorts of events, and yet he had to come back to school. Doesn’t this mean he was abandoned? Otherwise, how could he obediently return to class?”

“That’s right,” Wu Peng chimed in agreement, “but coming back to school isn’t so simple after all. Treating school like his home, when he wants to come, he comes and when he wants to go, he goes… Everyone who comes to school is here for learning. Unlike this young master, only for a gold-plated degree, who comes here just to make his education level look good on the surface.”

“For this young master to come to school is already quite good. Who cares if his learning is good or bad. At the end of the four years of university, holding a degree from one of the best universities, everyone will praise him for his talent.”

“True, even showing off his book smarts at the same time. A multi-benefit ah.”

Sun Xu snorted. “How can all the benefits be taken up by him. I’ll wait and see.”

As soon as his voice fell, the class bell rang. Everyone hurriedly turned around and prepared to go back to their seats. Only after turning around did they find that their professor had already arrived, standing at the podium and smiling at them. The students had a guilty conscience and immediately sat down quietly, waiting for the professor to start the lecture.

The female teacher who taught their professional course was named Song Yun. She was nearly 30 years old. She was very beautiful, and her lectures were neat and clear, so the students in the class liked her very much.

Song Yun watched the students in the class sit in an orderly manner, then looked at the girls who were obviously well-dressed, and smiled. “It’s rare that everyone arrived early today, and no one skipped class. The girls are even so beautifully dressed. If everyone can do this every day, then I’ll be very happy.”

Students who had skipped the classes before: …

After she finished speaking, she looked at Wen Mingyi who was sitting in the last row. Wen Mingyi smiled at her. His already pretty eyebrows were blooming like peach blossoms. Song Yun looked at his lovely smile, and felt very pleased. Growing up like this, it was no wonder that he would want to make his debut as a star. With such looks, it would be a pity to not be one.

Hence she also smiled back at Wen Mingyi, and got ready to start the class.

But before beginning, there was one more thing left to do. Song Yun looked at the students under the podium and then said softly, “We learned a lot of proper nouns in the last class. As I have mentioned, this period will have a quiz. So let’s do spot checking now~”

Upon hearing this, the students wailed. Noun explanations, to students, were like saying words that you knew were not human words. Most students didn’t like to recite noun explanations. There were so many difficult explanations of terms in the journalist articles.

The students felt miserable. In addition, Song Yun liked to conduct random checks from time to time and had students do the dictation on the blackboard. This was even more terrifying. It was a large-scale public execution site.

The students yelled: Next time, please let us go today.

Song Yun shook her head with a smile. “Sorry~ I will give you one minute to prepare, and I will start timing.”

Everyone immediately opened their books or notes, and began to read the explanation of the terms that were required to be recited in the last class.

Wen Mingyi also picked up the sorted notes that were sent to him by his classmates earlier, and planned to take a look. While looking, he suddenly felt as though someone was looking at him. Raising his head, he met Sun Xu’s eyes. Sun Xu turned his head with contempt.

Wen Mingyi: …Who the hell is this? Does he know this person?

Wen Mingyi nudged Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng was still busy looking at the explanation of the terms from last time. Without raising his head, he said, “Wait a moment, let me take one last look. Teacher Song will definitely not choose you, but she might pick me!”

Wen Mingyi didn’t bother him anymore. He only leaned over to look at the few terms he was reading. All these had long since been memorized by him. They were not much difficult. He patted Zhang Heng on the shoulder and encouraged, “You can do it.”

Zhang Heng nodded his head and continued to study seriously.

“Time is up!” Song Yun declared loudly. “We will now begin dictation. Students with student IDs ending in 2 and 3, get up and do dictation on the blackboard.”

There were about 30 people in their class. Adding the two ending numbers up, there were only 7 people. The people who were drawn up sighed, reluctantly walking to the podium. They picked up the marker, and prepared to write.

Song Yun gave them three terms each, and corrected them on the spot too. Students who wrote incorrectly had to copy the correct explanation twenty times. Students on the podium were afraid that they would make a mistake; students under the podium were afraid that they would be drawn in the next round. Everyone was worried and prayed silently in their hearts.

Song Yun finished the correction very quickly. She asked the study committee members to note down the names of the students who needed corrections, reminding them to copy it twenty times after class. She would check it in the next class. The students who wrote incorrectly walked off the stage in a depressed manner. The students who wrote correctly, meanwhile, breathed a sigh of relief. They were alive again!

Song Yun drew another round and started again. This time she drew students with student numbers ending in 1 and 7. As the person with the highest score in the university entrance examination, Wen Mingyi had his student number ending with 01. He naturally stood up.

Song Yun looked at him and said quickly, “Student Wen Mingyi doesn’t need to use the blackboard. You can do your dictation at your place.”

Wen Mingyi heard and said, “Thank you, teacher.” He sat back down.

Just when he took his seat, he heard a male voice from the class. “Based on what? Teacher Song, why doesn’t Wen Mingyi need to do dictation? Does he have any special privileges?”

The author has something to say:

Ming Ming: No privileges, only a capable fist.

Ming Ming raised his eyebrows and stretched his hands. Think carefully. Do I hit the left cheek, or hit the right cheek?
