Chapter 681: Young Master Ying’s Repayment?
Just as she was feeling puzzled, Director Yang, who had always been a local tyrant in the television station, actually stepped aside and said with a smile, “Mr. Ying, this should probably be the place where your friend’s at.”
As he gave way, Liao Duoduo realized that Director Yang was just being a guide to someone else, while… Behind him, was an imposing young man.
‘I’ve seen this young man before, he’s the customer that Uncle Yang had received today. When Uncle Yang brought him over to the advertising department earlier, I could tell that Uncle Yang had taken him very seriously and even tried to curry favor with him. Based on my understanding of his personality, this young man must have a very influential background.
‘Yet, I never would’ve thought that we’d meet again now.
‘But… A friend of this young man? Who could that be?
‘Is there someone else in the dressing room?’
As Liao Duoduo’s gaze drifted over, she caught sight of Su Yang who was still removing his makeup and was immediately stunned. ‘It can’t be… It can’t be him, can it?’
Just as she was thinking about that, Young Master Ying walked in.
He smiled and said to Director Yang, “Thank you, Uncle Yang. I’ll wait for my friend for a moment, so there’s no need for you to follow me anymore. I’ll leave you to your work.”
However, Director Yang waved his hand and said, “It’s no problem at all. I’m usually too busy with work, so I could take this chance to slack off a little.
“Why don’t we do this? I’ll leave you and your friend to get sorted while I arrange for you to be in a dressing room. Then, let me know when you’re leaving and I’ll walk you out.”
After saying that, Director Yang waved at Liao Duoduo. “Miss Liao, please head over to the dressing room next door, there’s something that I would like to talk to you about.”
Liao Duoduo was a smart woman. She knew that Director Yang was calling her out on purpose. Hence, she did not care that she only had half of her makeup removed and quickly agreed, “Alright, director.”
Then, she grabbed her bag and walked out.
After the private dressing room door was closed, Su Yang turned to look at Young Master Ying. “Did you have to cause such a huge scene? Couldn’t you just wait for me at the carpark?”
Young Master Ying chuckled. “I was just afraid that you would even abandon your car and run away.
“You have no idea how popular this health supplement of yours is. Every supplier has run out of stock. In fact, I’ve got the urge to rush over to your factory and directly take a few away with me.”
Su Yang turned to look at him in confusion. “Have you guys actually tried it already? Are you guys really loving this so much?”
Young Master Ying became unhappy when he heard this and said, “Of course I’ve used it! In fact, my old man at home doesn’t even feel dizzy anymore after using it. Plus, his legs have become nimble and even his hair has become much darker.”
Su Yang’s heart skipped a beat and almost thought that Sanque had accidentally sold the undiluted version of the oral fluid.
However, he then thought deeper about the matter. ‘That can’t be right. How much oral fluid would a person have to ingest in order to achieve the effect that Young Master Ying has just mentioned?! No matter how stupid Sanque is, he couldn’t have made such a huge mistake.’
Hence, Su Yang concluded that Young Master Ying was just bragging.
Therefore, he rolled his eyes. “Keep on bragging. If it really is like what you’ve said, then my health supplements are literally godlike. If you carry on bragging, I might just prepare paying you an advertising fee.”
Young Master Ying chuckled and told the truth. “You’re right, it isn’t actually that amazing indeed. However, I’m not sure if it’s just a placebo effect, but after drinking for more than a month, my grandfather seems much more energetic. In fact, he’s even able to enjoy a good night’s sleep and looks less haggard now.”
Su Yang replied nonchalantly, “I suppose it’s because there’s nothing going on in Shanghai recently? That way, there’s nothing for your grandfather to worry about.”
Young Master Ying waved his hand. “It has nothing to do with that. Besides, who said that nothing’s happened in Shanghai recently? On the contrary, a whole load of stuff has happened.”
Su Yang raised his brows and asked, “What’s happened?”
Young Master Ying felt that he had let the cat out of the bag and quickly waved his hand. “It’s fine, it’s nothing important.”
Even though Su Yang had become a busybody, his curiosity was still not strong, so he did not ask any further.
Shortly after, Su Yang removed his makeup, wiped his face and walked out with Young Master Ying.
Perhaps Director Yang wanted to avoid arousing any suspicion, or perhaps he just wanted to wait for Young Master Ying, but the door to the dressing room opposite the duos was left open. Inside the dressing room opposite, Director Yang and Liao Duoduo were chatting, where one was standing while the other was seated.
Hence, when Director Yang saw Young Master Ying and Su Yang exiting their dressing room, he quickly stood up and welcomed them.
Young Master Ying said politely, “Uncle Yang, as your nephew, you really are making me feel a little embarrassed. After all, we’re family, so there’s no need for you to be so polite.”
However, Director Yang said enthusiastically, “How is this being polite? I’m just being passionate! Like you said, we’re family, so of course I have to treat you well.”
Young Master Ying laughed and said, “Alright. In that case, I’ll definitely treat you well when you come to visit my company next time.”
The three of them continued chatting as they walked out, where Director Yang only turned around to return to the TV station after sending the both of them out of the entrance.
On the way back, Director Yang could not help but wipe the sweat off his forehead and heaved a sigh of relief.
‘Although Young Master Ying seems very warm and friendly today, I dare not think lightly of him. After all, his father is someone who’s able to decide my fate with just a word. I’ve got no choice but to tread carefully…’
Back in the dressing room, Liao Duoduo had already sat down to remove her makeup.
Director Yang looked around before walking in and closing the door.
After that, Liao Duoduo glanced at him and asked softly, “Don’t you have to worry about the impact this might cause?”
President Yang shook his head. “I’m just going to ask a few questions.”
Then, he asked, “Do you know the person in the dressing room with you?”
Liao Duoduo shook her head. “No,I don’t.”
President Yang frowned slightly. “Then, do you know his name?”
Liao Duoduothought for a moment. “I… Can’t remember. I think his surname is Su, but I can’t remember the rest.”
Director Yang waved his hand. “No matter, as long as you have a surname. I’ll go on and check today’s guestlist. There can’t be two people with the same surname, can there?”
With that, he opened the door and prepared to leave.
However, halfway through, he took a step forward and pulled back.
He closed the door again and said softly, “There might be a change in my promise to you. I’m going to find out more about that person and his relationship with Young Master Ying before I make my decision.”
Liao Duoduo asked, “Young Master Ying?”
Director Yang and Liao Duoduo obviously didn’t only have that kind of relationship. Instead, they knew each other well and supported each other. Hence, he did not hide the fact from her. “That’s right, he’s the second child of Shanghai.”
Liao Duoduo was startled. Clearly, the level this person had had already surpassed her imagination.
Director Yang saw that she was too surprised and consoled her, “But you don’t have to be too nervous. People like him have too many friends and very few of them actually have a solid background. So, if he’s just an ordinary boss, there’s nothing to be worried about.”
“Oh,” Liao Duoduo replied obediently and did not continue.
Director Yang looked at her and wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he opened the door and left the dressing room.
Before leaving, he closed the door for Liao Duoduo.
After Director Yang left, Liao Duoduo’s expression gradually turned ugly.
After a while, she sighed as if she had thought it through and put on a smile again as she muttered softly, “From the looks of it, that person doesn’t seem to have any background. Furthermore, if he really does have some kind of background, why didn’t he look for Uncle Yang directly then? Also, why would he come here and participate in a competition of this level?
“Would someone with a background be interested in a measly one million yuan?
“So, I’m sure that nothing’s going to go wrong… There’s nothing for me to be frightened of.
“That prize is still going to be mine.”
With that, Liao Duoduo picked up the crumpled cotton pad in her hand and started removing her makeup again.
…
At the same time, in the carpark, Su Yang opened the car door and took out two boxes of Jiadian oral fluid from the front passenger seat. Then, he passed them to Young Master Ying, who was waiting excitedly by the side. “I’ve only got these two boxes with me and I’m giving them all to you. So, you’d better not say that I don’t treat you well as a friend.”
Young Master Ying was overjoyed and received the oral serum as he said, “Why would I think that you’re not treating me well? Of course that won’t be the case, I can’t even thank you enough in fact.”
[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Sincere]
[Ding, you have triggered the talent, “Kindness Must Be Repaid”. Please choose the method you would like to have your kindness repaid.]
Su Yang was dazed for a moment after receiving two notifications.
‘I’ve received sincere gratitude already? Just like that?
‘Looks like Young Master Ying is a good person.
‘To think that I’ve even misunderstood him at the TV station just now!’
At the thought of this, Su Yang’s attitude toward Young Master Ying improved. “Come on, Young Master Ying, let me help you move this into your car.”
However, Young Master Ying hurriedly said, “No need, you really don’t have to. I’ll be able to manage myself.”
Su Yang waved his hand. “No worries, let me help you.”
After that, Su Yang picked up a box and helped Young Master Ying move it into his car.
After putting the things away, Su Yang said to Young Master Ying, “Alright, that’s it then. I’ll get going now, call me if you need anything.”
Young Master Ying chuckled. “Sure, I’ll definitely let you know if I need anything from you.”
Su Yang was confused.
‘This doesn’t seem to be how a conventional conversation would go now, does it?’
Su Yang pondered for a moment. ‘Right, I’m sure it’s still going to be oral fluid.
‘Young Master Ying really does know how to ask for more without hesitation.’
As Su Yang shook his head with a smile, he returned to his car and started it before leaving the TV station.
On the way back, Su Yang pondered as he drove. ‘This newly acquired talent seems to be triggered very easily, doesn’t it?
‘All I did was give two boxes of oral fluid, but I’ve already received a sincere gratitude. Even though it’s a good thing, I’ve still got to be careful about this talent in the future.
‘After all, this is a [Talent], not an [Ability]. So, if I accidentally receive too many people’s gratitude, this talent will automatically choose an option for those people to repay their kindness to me on their own. If that happens, it’s very likely that it’s going to cause a lot of trouble.’
Hence, Su Yang carried on pondering and reminding himself to be more careful to not give favours to others so casually.
However, he was still happy to receive Young Master Ying’s favour.
‘As a son of a governor who has both connections and ability, it’s very difficult for me to even ask him to help me with something when I need him to. So, now that I’ve got the right to ask him to do something for me, I should think about it carefully and make sure that I don’t waste it.’
Then, Su Yang drove home as he continued to ponder over how he should use this favor.
In the end, Su Yang’s phone rang before he even reached home.
Little Deeny’s voice rang in Su Yang’s ears, “Master, it’s Miss Chu Xia.”
‘Chu Xia?
‘Why is she looking for me?’
Puzzled, Su Yang said, “Answer it.”
Then, the phone call went through. Su Yang was about to joke around with Chu Xia, but before he could say anything, Chu Xia’s flustered voice rang in his ears. “Su Yang! Bad news! The police are here and they’ve taken Brother Zhao away!”
