Huang Zhitong was called out by Su Chang, and her expression instantly became somewhat tense. She took a deep breath and said with a forced smile, "Teacher Su, you are my idol. You said we could talk about it after we go to university, but you're already with Teacher Li Meng, so even if we go to university, we won't have a chance." After saying that, she stared at Su Chang earnestly, her eyes revealing determination and persistence.
Su Chang didn't rush to reply to Huang Zhitao's words. He slowly shifted his gaze to Qiao Yingzi and Wang Yidi on the side and asked, "Do you two think the same way?"
Qiao Yingzi and Wang Yidi exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of embarrassment and helplessness. Qiao Yingzi bit her lip and said softly, "Teacher Su, we know we're still young, but I really like you. Seeing you with Teacher Li Meng every day makes me very sad."
Wang Yidi nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, Teacher Su. We just wanted you to know our feelings, that's all."
Looking at the three girls, Su Chang felt a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him. He took a deep breath, and then, as if having made a decision, said firmly, "I am very grateful for your affection, but I am not the person you imagine me to be, and I can't even be considered a good man."
Upon hearing Su Chang's words, the three girls all wore expressions of confusion. Their eyes widened and their mouths slightly agape, as if they couldn't believe what they were hearing.
Qiao Yingzi frowned slightly, Huang Zhitao's eyes were filled with shock, while Wang Yidi stared at Su Chang with a serious expression, as if he was thinking about something.
Before they could ask any questions, Su Chang organized her thoughts and continued, "What I can tell you is that I have a girlfriend, and not just your teacher Li Meng. They all know each other. Do you still like me after this? You're still young and haven't met many men. Why not wait until you get into university and find someone who is devoted to you? Wouldn't that be better?"
·· ··Requesting flowers··· ········
The three girls were stunned into silence upon hearing Su Chang's words. Qiao Yingzi unconsciously covered her mouth with her hand, Huang Zhitao's eyes widened even more, and Wang Yidi clenched her fists tightly. Her heart was filled with doubt and confusion; this was too much of a shock to their worldview.
They'd heard that scumbags had many girlfriends, but they truly couldn't imagine all of them knowing about each other and still getting along peacefully.
While Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao were still in shock, Wang Yidi looked at Su Chang with a serious expression and asked, "Teacher Su, don't your girlfriends argue? And do you have that much time to spend with them? Won't they cause trouble for you?" Her voice carried a hint of doubt, and her eyes revealed her dissatisfaction with Su Chang.
Su Chang glanced at Wang Yidi with surprise, then replied with a serious expression, "My girlfriends don't argue. I really don't have time to spend with them, but they are all very independent individuals, and they also have their own careers..." After that, Su Chang told them about the jobs of Jiang Lai and the other women, as well as the benefits he provided for them.
Su Chang continued, "So my women are definitely not just pretty faces. They are all excellent and have their own pursuits. They will not have any complaints about me because I don't have time to spend with them."
.... ..... ....
After listening to Su Chang's story, Qiao Yingzi and the other two women could all tell how outstanding Su Chang's women were, and they all felt a sense of inferiority.
Qiao Yingzi thought for a moment, then looked up at Su Chang and asked, "Professor Su, if your woman stayed in the research lab every day, would you be able to accept it?" Her eyes revealed a hint of expectation, as if she was waiting for Su Chang's answer.
Su Chang looked at Qiao Yingzi with a slight smile on his face. He nodded gently and said, "Of course, I will respect their choice. As long as they are happy, I will support them." His voice was full of gentleness and understanding.
Qiao Yingzi nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Su Chang and asked earnestly, "Teacher Su, if I get into university, will I be able to be with you?"
Su Chang was surprised that Qiao Yingzi would ask her this question. She thought it was no different from a moth drawn to a flame, and looked at Qiao Yingzi with a puzzled expression. Wang Yidi and Huang Zhitao also looked at Qiao Yingzi with surprise, completely baffled as to how she could be so bold.
Qiao Yingzi understood what the three of them were thinking, so she patiently explained, "Actually, what I like most is astronomy, and my biggest wish is to become an astronomical scientist. I will probably spend most of my time in the laboratory in the future, and I certainly won't have much time to stay at home. I think finding a boyfriend like Professor Su is a good choice."
Su Chang remembered that Qiao Yingzi's first choice for college entrance examination in the original drama was the Department of Astronomy at Nanjing University, and she knew that what she said was true. After thinking for a while, she nodded and replied, "If you still like me after you go to college, we can give it a try then."
"Really? That's great! It's a deal then!" Qiao Yingzi jumped up excitedly and cheered, then stared intently at Su Chang as she spoke.
Su Chang gave a helpless wry smile, then said, "Don't worry, it's a deal, but the premise is that you can get into a good university."
Qiao Yingzi nodded frantically and said, "Don't worry, Teacher Su, don't you believe in my grades?"
"But we can't be careless. Anything is possible until we reach the finish line." Su Chang knew the plot had changed and didn't know if Qiao Yingzi would still be depressed, but she still gave her some advice.
Chapter 205 Beauty and Skin-Nourishing Elixir
Seeing that Qiao Yingzi had already made an appointment with Su Chang, Wang Yidi felt a little anxious. She didn't want to fall behind. So, she eagerly said to Su Chang, "Teacher Su, I want to be with you after I get into university."
Su Chang was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then teased, "Oh? And why are you doing this? Are you going to be a scientist too?"
Wang Yidi shook her head, a determined look in her eyes, and said earnestly, "I want to be a star, and I'm also a sucker for good looks. Teacher Su, I fell in love with you the moment I first saw you. Plus, to avoid harassment as a star, you need a strong background. My family is well-off, but it's definitely not as good as yours. I think you're the best choice for me."
Su Chang was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Wang Yidi to be so frank. Looking at her, he saw her eyes filled with expectation and sincerity, and he couldn't help but feel touched. But he still said, "Even if you don't become my woman, you're still my student. I can still help you with anything. There's no need to make it seem like we're doing a transaction."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yidi shook her head and said earnestly, "Teacher Su, you didn't understand the point of my '757' argument. The point is that I'm a sucker for good looks, and you completely fit all my definitions of a Prince Charming, so why should I give up? Do you think I'm not good enough for you?" A hint of grievance appeared in her eyes, and tears welled up in them, as if she would burst into tears if Su Chang said no.
Su Chang shook his head helplessly, inwardly marveling at Wang Yidi's persistence. He looked at Wang Yidi and said, "Alright, take back your acting skills. If you still like me after you go to university, we'll be together. I'll pave the way for your stardom. I own an entertainment company myself."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yidi immediately became excited, a bright smile spreading across her face, her eyes sparkling with joy.
Just then, Huang Zhitao was about to speak when Su Chang interrupted her, saying, "No, Taozi, you're not going to say you're a sucker for good looks too, are you?"
Huang Zhitao nodded seriously, a shy smile on her face, and said, "Yes, I'm a sucker for good looks too. Who can blame me when you're so handsome, Teacher Su? And my wish is to become a Doctors Without Borders like my parents. I think you'd be a good fit for me." Her eyes were full of anticipation, as if she was waiting for Su Chang's response.
Su Chang could only nod with a wry smile, then said, "Alright, you three girls, I'm scared of you. But we've got a deal, before you go to university, don't have any more of these little schemes, and don't do any more of these nonsensical things, understand?"
"Understood," the three maids replied in unison.
Su Chang assumed it was just a whim of the three girls and that they would probably forget about her once she left Chunfeng Middle School. So she didn't take it to heart and simply waved her hand, saying, "Let's eat. I'll take you home after we finish."
Once the conversation started, everyone felt less constrained and enjoyed the meal immensely. They chatted and ate, and time flew by. It wasn't until almost nine o'clock that they left the hot pot restaurant, and Su Chang took them back to Shuxiang Yayuan.
When Su Chang returned to the Rose Garden villa, Yang Tao and Li Meng were sitting on the sofa, staring at him with hostile eyes, as if trying to see right through him. Guan Xiaodi and Ma Li wisely slipped away; they didn't want to get involved in this "war."
Su Chang felt uneasy under their gazes. He touched his hair, trying to ease the tension, and then asked, "No, why are you two looking at me like that? It's making me really nervous. Just say what you want to say." His voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating his unease about their attitude.
Yang Tao's lips curled into a strange smile. She said sarcastically, "I heard that our Teacher Su is incredibly charming, and even high school students are infatuated with you now? So, when are you going to take her in? You beast." Her tone was clearly sarcastic and dissatisfied.
Su Chang knew Yang Tao was jealous. He smiled helplessly and sat down between the two of them. He reached out and embraced Yang Tao and Li Meng. Yang Tao struggled briefly, but quickly gave up, her eyes showing tenderness and dependence. Li Meng leaned more obediently on Su Chang's shoulder, her eyes fixed on him, seemingly waiting for his explanation.
Su Chang took a deep breath and decided to be honest. He explained in detail the agreement he made with the three girls, and then said, "The three girls are still young, and this is just a passing fancy. Maybe after I leave Chunfeng Middle School, they'll have someone new they like. I just didn't want to affect their emotions and thus their studies, so I made an agreement with them. Why are you jealous?" His tone carried a hint of helplessness.
Hearing Su Chang's words, Yang Tao's dissatisfaction lessened slightly, but she still pouted and said, "Who knows? That young girl is so young. Maybe in a few years, we'll all be old and faded, while she'll still be a young girl. How can we compare to her?" Her eyes revealed her worry and unease about her age.
Upon hearing Yang Tao's words, Su Chang suddenly remembered that the beauty and health pills he had obtained from previous check-ins could restore a person's appearance to that of ten years ago. However, he had always felt that his women were still young, so he had not given them the pills.
Su Chang sensed Yang Tao's unease and gently patted her shoulder, comforting her, "Taozi, don't worry. I'm already researching a pill called the Beauty and Nourishment Pill, which can make people look like they did ten years ago. Do you think your charm will be greater, or the charm of these young girls?" His eyes were full of confidence and anticipation.
Hearing Su Chang's words, Yang Tao's unease gradually dissipated. A smile appeared on her face, and she excitedly hugged Su Chang's hand, asking, "Really? That's great! When can you research it? I don't want to become a haggard old woman." Her eyes were filled with longing for the beauty and health elixir.
Li Meng chimed in sweetly, "Yes, yes, Brother Su Chang, when will you be able to figure it out?" Her face was full of excitement; it was a temptation that no woman could resist.
Seeing Yang Tao and Li Meng's expressions, Su Chang smiled awkwardly and reassured them, "Don't worry, it won't be long. Once the elixir is researched, I'll definitely let you use it first..."
Su Chang could only think about when to take the two women back to Shanghai so he could use them. Su Chang didn't think about making money with these pills, since many of the raw materials in them didn't exist in this world, and even the simplified version was difficult to make. He was too lazy to bother.
On a sunny Saturday morning, Guan Xiaodi skillfully drove Su Chang to Longteng Games Company. The reason Guan Xiaodi was driving was that after their trip to Jiangzhou, Su Chang spent the whole night discussing with Taozi and decided to assign Guan Xiaodi as his bodyguard. As for Taozi, she was replaced by Liu Sha for protection.
Su Chang secretly looked forward to the start of filming the game advertisement today, after all, this was an important promotional moment for his hard work.
As soon as the car stopped, Zheng Shuyi rushed over, her face beaming with a warm smile, and quickly opened the car door for Su Chang. Su Chang saw Zheng Shuyi, her lips curling into a slight smile, and then she nodded gently.
The two walked side by side, and Su Chang asked as they walked, "Have they all arrived?" His eyes revealed a hint of concern and expectation.
Zheng Shuyi quickly replied, "Miss Gao Wen has already arrived, while Qiao Jingjing has just arrived at the airport and will need some time to get here." Her tone carried a hint of apology.
Su Chang frowned, a puzzled look on his face. He stopped and turned to look at Zheng Shuyi, asking, "Why is Qiao Jingjing only arriving now? Shouldn't she have arrived last night?" His voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction.
Zheng Shuyi quickly explained, "Qiao Jingjing didn't get out of school until after nine o'clock last night, and there were no more flights from Yixing, so she only rushed over this morning." Her eyes were full of helplessness.
Su Chang shook his head, feeling somewhat displeased, but still tried to remain calm as he said, "Let's discuss it with her. She can ask for leave from Friday night's self-study session. She only has two days of filming time on the weekend, so this would take up too much of her filming time." His tone revealed a decisiveness and determination.
“Okay, Mr. Su, I will discuss this issue with Qiao Jingjing later.” Zheng Shuyi quickly agreed, secretly relieved and understanding of Su Chang’s decision.
Su Chang nodded and continued walking forward, his steps somewhat hurried, as if he couldn't wait to see Gao Wen. Zheng Shuyi followed behind him, carefully observing his expression, wondering about his attitude towards Gao Wen.
When they arrived at the company's conference room, Gao Wen was sitting there, her beauty and poise immediately catching the eye. Su Chang saw Gao Wen and a satisfied smile spread across his face. He strode over and extended his hand to shake hers.
"Gao Wen, it's a pleasure to meet you." Su Chang's voice was full of enthusiasm.
"Gao Wen, this is our Longteng Group's big boss, President Su Chang." Seeing Gao Wen's confused look, Zheng Shuyi quickly introduced him.
"Oh, it's President Su. I'm also very happy to join Longteng Entertainment." Gao Wen quickly responded with a smile after realizing who it was, her eyes sparkling with confidence and anticipation.
Chapter 206 Attitude
Su Chang nodded and sat down, his gaze falling on Gao Wen as he scrutinized her. Gao Wen felt Su Chang's gaze; she felt a little nervous, but tried her best to remain calm.
“Gao Wen, I know your previous status in the entertainment industry. Don’t worry, our company will definitely provide you with a better platform to showcase your talents,” Su Chang said, his tone revealing his trust and expectations for Gao Wen.
"Thank you, Mr. Su. I will work hard. I also believe we can help each other succeed. And I heard that you can write screenplays yourself, Mr. Su?" Gao Wen quickly replied. What attracted her even more were the screenplays Su Chang had written before.
Su Chang nodded, then turned to Zheng Shuyi and said, "Have Xiao Di go to my car and get my bag."
Zheng Shuyi quickly replied, "Okay, President Su." Without further ado, she turned and left the conference room.
Su Chang also talked to Gao Wen about the script. As for signing in, he planned to wait until Qiao Jingjing arrived before signing in together.
About ten minutes later, Su Chang and Gao Wen were having a pleasant conversation. Gao Wen was completely captivated by Su Chang's talent and humor. Her eyes sparkled with admiration, a faint smile played on her lips, and she occasionally let out a clear laugh.
At this moment, Guan Xiaodi knocked on the office door, and Su Chang had no choice but to pause his conversation with Gao Wen and call out to the door, "Come in."
Afterwards, Zheng Shuyi led Guan Xiaodi in. When Gao Wen saw Guan Xiaodi, she was stunned for a moment, then asked incredulously, "President Su, is this the stand-in you found for me?" Her voice was filled with surprise and doubt, and she looked Guan Xiaodi up and down, as if assessing whether she was capable of playing the role of a stand-in.
Before Su Chang could reply, Guan Xiaodi immediately became unhappy. Her brows furrowed slightly, and a look of disdain appeared on her face. She crossed her arms and said angrily, "Who wants to be your stand-in? I'm the BOSS's bodyguard." Her tone was firm and confident, as if she were demonstrating her strength to Gao Wen.
Gao Wen was stunned again. She looked Guan Xiaodi up and down, curled her lip, and said with disbelief, "You? As a bodyguard? Are you sure it's you protecting President Su, and not President Su protecting you?" Her words were full of provocation towards Guan Xiaodi.
Guan Xiaodi hated being looked down upon, and her anger flared instantly. She glared at Gao Wen, her eyes wide, and said through gritted teeth, "What do you mean? Do you think I'm weak? Why don't we have a one-on-one fight? I can pin you to the ground with one hand and you won't be able to get up." She leaned forward slightly, seemingly ready to charge at Gao Wen at any moment.
Gao Wen scoffed dismissively, "Why should I fight you one-on-one? I'm not a bodyguard. How about we have a competition of acting skills and see who's better?" Her tone was full of confidence and arrogance, as if she had complete control over her acting abilities.
Guan Xiaodi is the kind of person who can't stand being provoked, and her emotions were instantly ignited by Gao Wen's words. Without hesitation, she said, "Fine, let's compete then, who's afraid of who? If I went into the entertainment industry, you wouldn't stand a chance." There was a hint of defiance in her voice, while also revealing a strange self-confidence.
“Sure, let’s start the competition from this advertisement shoot.” Gao Wen wasn’t exactly known for her good temper. She stood up, grabbed Guan Xiaodi, and headed outside.
"Fine, let's go! Who's afraid of who?" Guan Xiaodi was equally defiant, following Gao Wen out without backing down. Her steps were firm and powerful, as if she were proving her determination and courage to Gao Wen.
Zheng Shuyi and Su Chang were both stunned by what they saw. Zheng Shuyi was the first to react and asked anxiously, "President Su, should I go and bring them back?"
Su Chang smiled and waved her hand casually, saying, "No need. Don't you think this is better? It was only doubled before, but now it's tripled. Maybe the effect will be even better?"
Zheng Shuyi thought for a moment and nodded, but still said with some concern, "Then let's go over and take a look. With all this noise, we don't want them to start fighting again. Gao Wen is the pillar of Longteng Entertainment now, it wouldn't be good if she got hurt."
Seeing Zheng Shuyi's anxious look, Su Chang nodded helplessly and said, "Alright, let's go take a look."
The two then left the meeting room and headed towards the filming studio.
When Su Chang and Zheng Shuyi arrived at the studio, they didn't see Guan Xiaodi and Gao Wen. Su Chang looked at Zheng Shuyi with a puzzled expression and asked, "Shuyi, where are they?"
Zheng Shuyi also looked puzzled, then waved to a staff member next to her and called out, "Xiao Wang, come here for a moment."
Upon hearing Zheng Shuyi's call, Xiao Wang jogged over to her, bowed, and asked, "President Su, is there anything I can help you with?"
Zheng Shuyi asked directly, "Did you just see Gao Wen come in with a beautiful woman who looks a lot like her?"
Xiao Wang immediately understood Zheng Shuyi's meaning and pointed in the direction of the dressing room, saying, "President Su, Sister Gao Wen took that icy beauty to the dressing room to get her makeup done."
"Okay, thank you, Xiao Wang. You can go ahead and get back to work now." Having gotten the answer she wanted, Zheng Shuyi let Xiao Wang leave.
Xiao Wang left immediately after receiving the instructions, but his eyes kept glancing at Su Chang. He muttered to himself, "Who is this handsome man who has my goddess general manager following behind? Could he be her boyfriend?" Thinking about it, Xiao Wang couldn't wait to spread the news to his colleagues.
Su Chang had just overheard their conversation. Before Zheng Shuyi could speak, Su Chang headed towards the dressing room, and Zheng Shuyi quickly followed.
As they reached the dressing room door, which wasn't fully closed, they heard what sounded like an argument coming from inside. Su Chang frowned and quickened her pace, while Zheng Shuyi followed nervously behind.
The two exchanged a glance and quickly went inside. Once inside, they breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the scene before them.
