Chapter 531: I Really Don’t Want To Be Pretentious
‘Should I use it on a lemon and turn her into a lemon monster?
‘How about I use it on a bag of instant noodles and turn it into a macho instant noodle monster?
‘A point onto a gun? There’s that anime where there are girls transformed from guns...
‘Or perhaps... I add a point onto the island I just bought? Island Maiden?’
Su Yang dispelled the thought as soon as it was born. Putting aside the fact that the name “Island Maiden” was such an evil interest, Su Yang could not accept the fact that the item itself would disappear after he used [Advanced Life Evolution] onto it.
‘I’ve worked so hard to coerce and entice them before I could finally buyt the island. I’m planning to keep it as my base, so there’s no way I’m letting go of it that easily!
‘If I let go of this island, how am I supposed to [Descent] the virtual space?’
However, after thinking about it for a while, Su Yang had a preliminary idea. He still wanted to use the [Advanced Life Evolution Voucher] on something big, the bigger the better.
‘Who says only women like them big? Men like it too.
‘Actually, I’m not surprised that [Advanced Life Evolution Voucher] is a B-ranked coupon. To me, the value of this voucher is very high, even higher than the [Bronze Ability Enhancement Voucher].
‘After all, Bronze Abilities could be obtained through Bronze Points, but [Advanced Life Evolution] can directly turn an item into a humanoid monster.
‘With every extra humanoid monster, I gain another helping hand. Plus, if this little monster has a matching special ability, that would be a huge benefit!’
Hence, Su Yang carefully took out the voucher and placed it in the drawer in the real world.
‘This is a treasure, I can’t afford to lose it, much less let the monsters ruin it.’
After that, Su Yang picked up Little Deeny to check the time. It was 11am on Thursday, the new day had just begun.
After checking the time, Su Yang wanted to turn off his phone and go downstairs to eat something. However, he realized that there were many messages on his WeChat.
He opened WeChat and saw that most of the messages were from his classmates. There was also a... Han Yi fan group?
‘Eh...
‘Have I forgotten something?’
Su Yang clicked on Han Yi’s WeChat fan group, only to find that it was already in an uproar. They were all discussing Han Yi signing a new agency, with almost 99+ messages in its chat history.
Then, he flipped through the records and realized that there were indeed 99+ unread messages, possibly almost thousands of them.
He glanced back and forth. At first, everyone was still having a casual chat, but someone suddenly forwarded a piece of news saying that Han Yi had signed with a new agency.
The fans in the group chat were all very high. They felt that Han Yi must have found a new opportunity to develop, so they all congratulated her. Of course, there were also some who were worried for Han Yi, worried that she would not be able to receive any good jobs without Yang Mi’s resources.
Following that, there were fans who kept forwarding news and analysis of Han Yi signing a new agency.
Most of the analysis was on Han Yi’s new boss.
The fans in the group chat started to change the topic and express their opinions based on the news.
Overall, the development of the topic in the group chat was similar to that on the internet.
But very quickly, when the netizens found out that the company that Han Yi signed with was the same company as Findme app, the group fell silent.
Due to the fact that every WeChat group had timestamps, Su Yang could clearly see that the post had been sent at 10:52 am and someone had finally spoken up at 10:55am.
The person replied. ‘I just want to ask. I remember that Su Yang... No, President Su. He seems to be the owner of Findme app, isn’t he?’
His question instantly ignited the entire fan club.
Thus, the chat instantly exploded again.
‘Yes! He is!’
‘D*mn! So you mean to say that our president’s the 1 who signed Han Yi?’
‘Our president is going to become godlike!’
‘I’ve only ever heard of stock investors becoming shareholders over time. Our president has actually upgraded from being a fan to a boss!’
‘Long live the president! Amazing job!’
Immediately after that, the fans in the group started to repeat, “Long live the president! Amazing job!” over a dozen times.
From this, it could be seen that humans were essentially repeaters.
Immediately after, it was the same person who broke the silence earlier. He first sent an emoji [Break +1], then sent another message. ‘I would just like to ask again... Since our president is Han Yi’s boss, Would we... See Han Yi often?’
This sentence caused the group to explode again.
Previously, everyone was amazed by Su Yang’s awesomeness. They were amazed that Su Yang, the president of the fan club, was able to turn the tables on a female celebrity and become her boss!
That was equivalent to a person buying off an entire football club just because they were fans of said club!
It’s simply the most awesome feat a fan would be able to achieve!
Right after that, everyone realized that they were all members of the Han Yi fan club created by Su Yang!
If even Han Yi was signed by the president, would everyone be able to see their goddess often?
Hence, the fans started to tag Su Yang and spam again...
Su Yang did not expect that his signing with Han Yi would cause such a huge commotion among the fans. However, he thought about it and felt that it was really...
‘I suppose it isn’t uncommon to see a fan getting into a relationship with his or her idol, but for a fan to become the idol’s boss... It’s rather rare.
‘I’m most likely the only 1.
‘I am awesome indeed!’
Su Yang closed the group chat and looked at the other messages that were sent by his classmates. He realized that they were all about Han Yi signing the contract with him.
Su Yang was not well-known on the internet and not many people knew him. Even if they knew that the owner of the Findme app was called Su Yang, they could not link the company’s boss, Su Yang, to a second-year student of Shanghai University.
After all, it was a little magical.
However, within Shanghai University itself, Su Yang was a well-known person. Everyone knew that he created the Findme app. Therefore, when they found out that Han Yi’s new boss was also the boss of Findme app, everyone was stunned.
‘Han Yi is now an artist under Su Yang’s company?’
‘Su Yang has already entered the entertainment industry?’
Although Su Yang had filmed an online movie before, in most people’s eyes, an online movie was just the tip of the iceberg in the entertainment industry.
It’s a different story for an A-ranked celebrity.
Hence, Su Yang’s WeChat exploded.
Su Yang looked at the people who were looking for him. Most of them he knew, but was not familiar with. Hence, he picked a few that he was familiar with and replied.
In the end, Su Yang realized that Li Runze had sent him a WeChat message.
‘This guy is also texting me because of Han Yi?’
Su Yang clicked on it curiously.
Li Runze texted. ‘You are Han Yi’s boss.’
‘All of Li Runze’s questions seems so affirmative. It seems like he’s telling me a fact rather than asking me a question...
‘But! I’m the person directly involved in this matter! You didn’t have to tell me the facts!’
Hence, Su Yang still treated it as a question. ‘Yes, I signed her.’
Just when Su Yang thought that Li Runze wanted to meet Han Yi, Li Runze sent him a WeChat message. ‘Can I participate in your artificial intelligence research?’
Su Yang was confused.
‘Does this have anything to do with Han Yi?
‘These 2 topics were completely unrelated, right?!
‘Could it be that you’re under the impression that Han Yi joined my company because of my artificial intelligence?’
Su Yang complained in a craze...
‘However, if it were anyone else, I’d most likely think that the other party has some hidden intentions. However, since it’s Li Runze, I think... He’d say whatever’s on his mind.’
Su Yang was not surprised that Li Runze wanted to participate in artificial intelligence research. Li Runze had long expressed his curiosity about artificial intelligence, so Su Yang asked Little Deeny. After confirming that Little Deeny also wanted a helper, Su Yang replied to Li Runze. ‘Sure, but it might take a few days.’
Li Runze replied. ‘Alright, how many days?’
Su Yang was speechless.
‘Tsk, he really hasn’t changed since the first day I met him.’
After Su Yang had another round of discussion with Little Deeny. ‘Next Monday.’
Li Runze replied with an “OK” emoji.
Su Yang heaved a sigh of relief. ‘Why do I feel so intimidated when I’m talking to Li Runze... I’m clearly the boss...’
Just as Su Yang and Li Runze finished their conversation, Little Deeny, who was in his hands, vibrated. Someone was calling.
Without Little Deeny’s reminder, Su Yang looked down and saw that it was Chu Xia.
Su Yang guessed that she must want to talk to him about Han Yi.
Therefore, he picked up the phone and prepared to have a good chat with Chu Xia.
Chu Xia said, “Good morning, Mr. CEO.” Chu Xia’s voice was exceptionally gentle that day.
Su Yang replied, “Good morning, Little Chu. Why are you looking for me, the CEO who is busy every day?”
Chu Xia said, “Why don’t you make a guess?”
Su Yang sat on the bed and said, “I guess you want to see Han Yi.”
“Han Yi?” Chu Xia’s voice was obviously higher pitched. Then, she said in surprise, “Are you able to meet Han Yi again recently?”
Su Yang was confused.
‘Didn’t you know that I signed Han Yi?’
Su Yang sent Chu Xia a few pieces of news about Han Yi signing a contract with her new boss and asked her to read it before she spoke.
After reading the news, Chu Xia’s excited voice came through the phone, “Wow! Su Yang!! You actually signed Han Yi! You’re so awesome!”
Su Yang was speechless.
‘I’m really tempted to say that I’m not trying to be pretentious. But my capabilities forbid me from doing so...
‘I just wanted to sign Han Yi to earn money for me. Who knew that all of you would have a high from it? What can I do about it?
╮(╯▽╰)╭
Su Yang rubbed his ear lobe. “It’s nothing.”
Chu Xia asked excitedly, “Su Yang, can I visit sometime?”
Su Yang asked, “To meet who?”
Chu Xia said, “Han Yi, of course! How about I be your secretary? I’ll be in charge of Han Yi’s matters! I’ll definitely do very well!”
Su Yang was speechless.
‘Is Han Yi that charismatic?
‘Why do I feel that she isn’t as pretty as Lin Jiali?’
Previously, when Chu Xia and the rest were so excited because of Han Yi, Su Yang could not understand. Now... he was having even more trouble understanding it.
However, Su Yang still wanted to fulfill Chu Xia’s wish. ‘I do want to fulfill all of this girl’s wishes... Except for meeting her mom.’
So, Su Yang said, “Forget being secretary and study hard. I’ll bring you over to visit during the holidays..”
Chu Xia was so excited that she forgot why she was looking for Su Yang. “Su Yang, you’re the best! Muacks!”
Su Yang was stunned when he heard Chu Xia’s flying kiss. ‘Did she just kiss me virtually?
‘You shameless hooligan...’
⁄(⁄⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄⁄)⁄
Su Yang coughed to hide his “excitement” before asking, “Cut it out. Come do it in person if you dare.”
That time, it was Chu Xia’s turn to be shy. Her slightly shy voice came from the other end of the phone. “Dream on, blep.”
In fact, Su Yang really wanted to ask. ‘You were the one who kissed me first, yet why are you asking me to dream on? Talk about calling the kettle black!’
Even though he was complaining in his heart, Su Yang still managed to change the topic. “Alright, since you’re not here to talk about Han Yi, why don’t you tell me why you’re calling me then?”
