Chapter 104: Big Brother 102’s lackey is also a big shot [2 more updates]
The sway was so great that Ying Zijin stopped in her tracks.
She took off her headphones, “Yeah, what’s up?”
“Look, look over there!” Xiu Yu was very excited, “To your right front, quick look!”
Ying Zijin pressed her head and followed the direction she mentioned to look over.
It was a large screen where Verdant often broadcasted the news about students winning awards or receiving disciplines.
But at that moment, there was a photo of a person displayed.
A young man in a blue suit, looking to be about twenty-four years old.
There were his name and a brief introduction beside it, but Ying Zijin didn’t look.
There was nothing special, and she wasn’t very interested.
“Ahhh!” Xiu Yu was still freaking out, “Shang Yaozhi, Shang Yaozhi is coming to our school! Ahh, I’m dying!”
Ying Zijin raised her hand to hold down Xiu Yu, preventing her from fainting, “Hmm, who?”
“Shang Yaozhi! The entertainment industry’s youngest actor!” Xiu Yu was somewhat surprised, “Daddy Ying, you’re on Weibo, aren’t you? You don’t know him?”
Ying Zijin fell silent for a moment.
When she was on Weibo, she was more into watching live streams of food and looking up recipes, or following pet bloggers.
And incidentally adding to the share count of videos she edited for Elder Zhong.
“Wow, no way, Daddy Ying, I need to introduce you to my idol.” Xiu Yu pointed to the large screen, “Shang Yaozhi, twenty-four this year, debuted seven years ago and got the Golden Flower Award last year.”
“Among the post-95 generation of young actors, he’s the only one who has won the title of Best Actor, isn’t he incredible?”
Ying Zijin hadn’t dealt with these matters and simply replied, “Yeah, that’s pretty impressive.”
“Who would’ve thought he’d actually come to our school to give a lecture, the principal’s been so extravagant lately.” Xiu Yu suddenly slapped her forehead, “I forgot, he graduated from our school’s arts program before moving on to the Imperial Capital Drama Academy.”
Well, she took back her praise for the principal.
“Back when I was in the Imperial Capital, I never even saw him.” Xiu Yu continued, “Daddy Ying, let’s go to the lecture together when the time comes, I’ll help you grab tickets.”
Ying Zijin paused for a moment but then held back from saying she didn’t want to go.
After all, she could sleep during the lecture; it was just uncomfortable without a pillow.
Xiu Yu was over the moon, “Daddy Ying, you definitely don’t know, Shang Yaozhi is actually a ‘triple-threat’ star, and he has a drama coming out this summer that I’ve got to follow.”
A triple-threat star refers to someone active in the realms of film, television, and music.
Upon hearing this, Ying Zijin took another glance at the big screen.
Not as good-looking as Fu Yunshen.
Forget it, not worth watching.
**
The Fu Family’s old residence.
The health of Old Master Fu had improved significantly recently, and he was no longer passing out frequently.
But due to the lingering toxins, there were still significant risks present.
When Ying Zijin was treating Old Master Fu, he was asleep and unaware of the treatment.
Fu Yunshen’s intention was also to keep it a secret from Old Master Fu so as not to worry him excessively.
The fifteenth of every month was the day of the Fu Family’s family reunion.
On this day, even those who were outwardly at odds had to return to the old house to dine with Old Master Fu.
Though Old Master Fu’s health wasn’t great, he still held significant shares in the Fu Corporation and owned several large businesses.
This forced those with ulterior motives to only act covertly, while outwardly they had to behave.
Old Master Fu had four sons, and just within his direct line, there were already ten brothers and sisters in Fu Yunshen’s generation.
This didn’t even include the family members from Old Master Fu’s several brothers.
Therefore, the family reunion at the Fu Family’s old house gathered several dozen people each month.
Fu Mingcheng really disliked these family reunions because the other branches would come to the old house, always asking him all sorts of questions and showering him with flattery and ingratiation.
But as Old Master Fu’s eldest son, he had to entertain these people.
“Mingcheng, your sons really do bring you honor, one more so than the other,” a noble lady said with an envious tone, “I heard Yihan has established his own company, and it’s not a small one either. I hear he’s even made connections with the major clans of the Imperial Capital, right?”
Fu Yihan was Fu Mingcheng’s eldest son, and the Fu Family’s Eldest Young Master, as well as Old Master Fu’s direct eldest grandson.
Fu Mingcheng was very impatient, but couldn’t express it.
However, praise for Fu Yihan pleased him, so he just nodded indifferently: “You flatter him. Yihan is just dabbling, and his company is nothing more than a little workshop, not presentable at all.”
“Oh, it’s no flattery at all,” the noble lady laughed, “With Yihan’s competence, the Fu Corporation is sure to flourish in his hands, and Old Master Fu will be delighted. It’s not like some people…”
With that, she shifted her tone, looking down disdainfully, “Always loafing around, frequenting places of ill-repute, who knows when they’ll end up doing something scandalous that shames the Fu Family.”
“It’s really strange, from the same father and same mother, and yet the difference is so vast.”
As these words came out, everyone in the living room couldn’t help but stop what they were doing.
They naturally knew who the noble lady was referring to.
