Chapter 0544: Teacher Zhao

When young, even the slightest melancholy had to be dramatized to the heavens. After growing up, one learns to hide oneself. The more pain, the more one must remain composed; the more bitterness, the more one must keep silent.

This is the difference between adults and youths, because children distinguish right from wrong, while adults, perhaps, only weigh gains and losses.

Liu Yuan was not good at hiding his emotions, so Zhao Fusheng quickly sensed his hostility.

Frowning slightly, Zhao Fusheng glanced at Liu Yuan and shook his head helplessly. He really couldn't bring himself to vie for affection with a child.

But watching Liu Yuan sing 'The Moon Represents My Heart' with Fan Baobao as his target, he really felt quite displeased.

After all, he was a man. If he could act as if nothing were wrong in such a situation, he would be either a saint or a good-for-nothing.

Zhao Fusheng was clearly not a good-for-nothing, so he simply sat down next to Fan Baobao.

"What's wrong?" Fan Baobao looked at Zhao Fusheng curiously, not understanding what he meant.

Zhao Fusheng blinked, wearing an innocent smile, but his hand rested on Fan Baobao's shoulder.

"What's this?" Gao Feng came over at that moment, looking at Fan Baobao and Zhao Fusheng with curiosity.

Zhao Fusheng didn't speak, but Fan Baobao said generously, "Nothing much. We're together, and both families have agreed."

She was telling the truth. According to Li Yuan and Zhao's mother's plans, they wished the two would get married and have children right away. Every time the topic came up, the two mothers reacted with surprising unanimity, leaving both Fan Baobao and Zhao Fusheng afraid to even mention it.

"Oh, oh, congratulations, congratulations." Gao Feng nodded with slight embarrassment, forcing an unnatural smile, then quickly slipped away to the side.

Zhao Fusheng and Fan Baobao exchanged glances and smiled in unison.

"Sing a song." Fan Baobao said to Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng thought for a moment and nodded: "Put on 'Dreaming Back to the Tang Dynasty' for me."

Fan Baobao was taken aback, not expecting Zhao Fusheng to choose this song. She remembered that Li Jian had once said that Zhao Fusheng could actually write songs.

Soon it was Zhao Fusheng's turn. His singing was actually quite average; the heavy metal rock, when sung by him, lacked some of the roaring feeling but gained more depth.

Listening to Zhao Fusheng's song, everyone was somewhat surprised. College students at that time were still quite valuable. In Zhao Fusheng's previous life, even if his high school classmates didn't become big shots, they all ended up doing well. In other words, everyone in this room had reason to be proud in real life.

And now, even a fool could tell that the song Zhao Fusheng was singing clearly had a story behind it.

Fan Baobao felt it more deeply. Perhaps because women are more sensitive, one can roughly tell whether a man has a story, whether he is hypocritical or consistent inside and out.

In her feeling, Zhao Fusheng at that moment was like a book. Once opened, it contained secrets that made people want to explore.

"Why didn't I notice before that this guy had this side to him?" Fan Baobao muttered to herself, looking at her boyfriend.

When the song ended, Zhao Fusheng put down the microphone and smiled. "Sorry, I've made a fool of myself."

The group was stunned. They thought to themselves, although your singing wasn't great, it could hardly be called making a fool of yourself. If you're making a fool of yourself, what are we?

"Zhao Fusheng, you sang really well." At that moment, a girl said to Zhao Fusheng and actually sat down beside him.

"Huh?"

Fan Baobao, who had been talking with Zheng Xue, instantly became alert, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She narrowed her eyes and stared at Zhao Fusheng and the girl.

Zhao Fusheng blinked. For some reason, he suddenly felt the air in the room turn cold.

Shaking his head, Zhao Fusheng smiled politely at the girl. "You flatter me. I was just singing casually."

Just then, the door to the room was pushed open, and a mature woman dressed fashionably walked in, accompanied by the lobby manager of Jinsha Entertainment Club.

Everyone was taken aback, unsure what was happening.

Liu Yuan was dumbfounded, because he clearly remembered once seeing this woman when his father took him to Jufengyuan for a meal. At that time, his father casually mentioned that she was Ye Fangfei, the elusive general manager of Jinsha Entertainment Club.

"Teacher Zhao, I didn't expect to see you here."

Ye Fangfei's first words left everyone stunned.

Teacher Zhao?

What's going on?

Even Fan Baobao was taken aback.

Unlike her female classmates, this woman clearly had the capital to be alluring and flirtatious. The biggest trait of a mature woman was that she never stared or stole glances like a young girl, but instead habitually and blatantly teased men—neither too lightly nor too heavily, neither too cold nor too hot. Generally speaking, men had zero resistance to such women.

Zhao Fusheng was startled, then sighed, shook his head helplessly, stood up, and said to Ye Fangfei, "Manager Ye, long time no see."

The last time he met Ye Fangfei was when her boss asked Zheng Yao's father to call Zheng Yao, requesting her help with advertising planning for Jinsha Entertainment Club.

At that time, Zhao Fusheng was in a company meeting and casually offered an idea. Later, Ye Fangfei personally visited and treated Zheng Yao and him to a meal.

But because he knew the eventual fate of Jinsha, Zhao Fusheng didn't take it to heart. He later forgot about it, but unexpectedly ran into Ye Fangfei today.

"I saw Teacher Zhao in the lobby just now, so I came over to say hello." Ye Fangfei didn't put on any airs. She sat down, raised her glass, and drank it all. The two executives behind her looked calm, as if they were used to this.

Zhao Fusheng naturally accompanied her. After drinking a glass of wine, Ye Fangfei smiled at him. "You're welcome to come often in the future, Teacher Zhao."

With that, she stood up, without any hesitation, turned around, and left directly.

Liu Yuan and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. Today's events had exceeded their understanding. After all, they were still students. This scene—whether it was Ye Fangfei's suffocating aura or the sudden title for Zhao Fusheng—left these young people completely confused.

His gaze sweeping lightly around, Zhao Fusheng sighed helplessly. He hadn't expected things to turn out like this. The others were fine, but glancing at his girlfriend, whose eyes were full of menace, Zhao Fusheng felt that he wouldn't get a good night's sleep tonight...
