Fang Yang waited at the airport for almost half an hour before picking up Zhao Liang. Seeing Zhao Liang's 1.9-meter height and 200-pound burly physique, he couldn't help but complain that Zhao Liang was becoming more and more like a humanoid beast. He dodged Zhao Liang's outstretched arms to hug him, and then noticed Wang Jin, who was 1.7 meters tall, fair-skinned, and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, behind Zhao Liang. He exclaimed with delight, "Mentor, you're here too?"

Wang Jin hugged Fang Yang. "I came here specifically for you. Zhao Liang was also coming, so we arranged to come together."

Fang Yang laughed and said, "We can talk about that after we eat. You must be tired from the journey. I've reserved a table at Old Shanghai. Let's go eat first and try some of Shanghai's specialties!"

After taking Wang Jin's suitcase, Fang Yang led the two to the parking lot. Looking at Fang Yang's luxurious and imposing Maybach S, Zhao Liang couldn't help but tease, "Wow, Mr. Fang, as expected of a big boss in Shanghai, this car is really impressive!"

As Fang Yang and Wang Jin put their suitcases away, Fang Yang laughed and said, "I'm just putting on a brave face, unlike you, who's actually fat!"

Fang Yang took Zhao Liang's suitcase and put it in the trunk. He then guided the two of them to sit down and started the car, heading towards Old Shanghai.

"Liangzi, your physique is starting to resemble a humanoid beast. Are you planning to become sworn brothers with a bear?" Fang Yang teased as he saw Zhao Liang sitting in the passenger seat with the seat almost pushed all the way back.

Zhao Liang pounded his chest with his fist, making a loud thud. "What do you know? This is called a sense of security. Young girls these days love that. Unlike you, you look like a pretty boy, you don't give me any sense of security at all!"

Fang Yang rolled his eyes. "What pretty boy? I'm a man of substance. A good-looking face is a dime a dozen, but an interesting soul is one in a million. What do you know?"

Sitting in the back seat, Wang Jin murmured, "A beautiful appearance is a dime a dozen, but an interesting soul is one in a million," and couldn't help but give Fang Yang a thumbs up, "Brilliant!"

Fang Yang glanced at Zhao Liang and said, "Did you hear that? Read more books and learn a few tricks from your mentor. Get your doctorate as soon as possible. That way, it'll sound better if you call yourself a premature ventricular contraction patient!"

Zhao Liang rolled his eyes. "A wolf in sheep's clothing, that's absolutely right!"

Seeing Zhao Liang admit defeat, Fang Yang couldn't help but sing: "I am a wolf from the north, walking in the boundless wilderness, the mournful north wind blows and the endless sandstorm sweeps by."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Liang's eyes widened. "Wow, this song is so awesome! Who sang it? Please recommend it to me!"

Wang Jin also exclaimed, "Judging from these lyrics, they are full of desolation and a sense of loneliness arises spontaneously. Just from these few lines, you know it must be a good song!"

Fang Yang laughed and said, "I just heard Liangzi talk about wolves in human skin, and that inspired me to sing this. I don't know if I can write the rest!"

Zhao Liang gave Fang Yang a thumbs up, "You're so awesome, you're absolutely awesome!"

Fang Yang laughed, turned the steering wheel, parked the car in the parking lot of the old Shanghai, and led the two of them to the reserved private room.

"Old Shanghai was founded in 1875 and is the birthplace of Shanghai's local cuisine. It started as a family business run by a couple surnamed Zhang and their son, who rented three floors. Due to their superb skills, it gradually developed and has served many national leaders from home and abroad. It is a microcosm of Shanghai's modern history and a melting pot of Shanghai's culture!" Fang Yang introduced to the two as they walked.

"It's rare for our mentor and Liangzi to come today, so let's try all the signature dishes!" Fang Yang nodded to the head waiter who followed him in, indicating that the dishes could be served.

The head waiter nodded, picked up the pager to arrange for the dishes to be served, and soon, the famous Eight Treasure Duck, Braised Three Shreds, Salt and Pepper Ribs, Squirrel Yellow Croaker, Bamboo Shoot and Eel Paste, Crab Roe Tofu, Shrimp Roe Sea Cucumber, Braised River Eel, Fried Shrimp, and Fermented Rice Cake were served one after another.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Wang Jin was dumbfounded and asked Fang Yang, "With so many dishes, can the three of us finish them all?"

Fang Yang waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm afraid it won't be enough. What kind of wine would you like to drink?"

Wang Jin waved his hand: "I don't drink at all, you all know that!"

Fang Yang ignored Zhao Liang and said, "Okay, let's have a big meal for lunch. I'll take you to visit my company later. We can talk about it this afternoon."

A master chef is a master chef; the dishes he cooked were incredibly fragrant. Since he hadn't drunk any alcohol, he could clearly taste the flavors of the dishes. Although there were quite a few dishes, they were actually just so-so, especially in front of Zhao Liang, the big eater. Fang Yang could only sum it up in one sentence: "like a cow chewing on a peony."

After dinner, Fang Yang drove the two to Yuewen Entertainment Website. Looking at the rather simple four-story building, no one could have imagined that the company had earned more than 40 million yuan in just ten days, whereas just ten days ago it was on the verge of bankruptcy. Zhao Liang and Wang Jin couldn't help but sigh.

The receptionist had already hired a pretty young lady who greeted Fang Yang hurriedly when she saw him come in. Fang Yang smiled and thought she looked nice; at least he couldn't just barge in as casually as before.

Upon arriving at the office on the fourth floor, Fang Yang found the white tea that Yang Huajin had left there and said to the two of them with a smile, "Try my white tea that I've had for seven years. It's very good for your health!"

Zhao Liang kept looking Fang Yang's office up and down, "Your office is quite big, it must be seventy or eighty square meters, right?"

Fang Yang chuckled as he boiled water, “Sixty-eight square meters. This house was built by my family, so it’s not like an office building where every inch of land is precious. Also, there are fewer people, so the house is more than enough!”

Zhao Liang's eyes widened: "You didn't buy the land either, did you?"

Fang Yang nodded: "I bought one acre of land back then, but now it seems a bit small. I plan to buy the whole area when I have the money. Anyway, this area is all suburban land, and the land price isn't very high."

Wang Jin laughed and said, "What do you need so much land for? Besides, land transactions are strictly controlled in Shanghai."

Fang Yang laughed and said, "It's definitely impossible now, but who knows about the future."

Once the water boiled, Fang Yang took the communal cup, rinsed it with water, then used tongs to pick up two handfuls of tea leaves, placed them in the cup, poured in the boiling water, poured the water out, added boiling water again, and used tongs to turn the tea leaves over so that they were fully steeped. Only then did he pour a cup of tea for each of the two people.

Wang Jin picked up the tea, took a deep sniff, then drank it all in one gulp. He clicked his tongue in amazement and laughed, "I didn't expect you to be such a good tea brewer, Xiao Yang!"

Fang Yang waved his hand and said, "Teacher, please don't laugh at me. My tea-brewing skills are just average. The main thing is that this tea is good. There's a saying in white tea: 'Seven-year-old tea is a treasure, ten-year-old tea is an elixir.' Ten-year-old white tea is hard to come by, and seven-year-old tea is already top-grade!"

After pouring another cup of tea for the two of them, Wang Jin took something out of his bag and tossed it to Fang Yang. Fang Yang caught it and looked at it: "Special Lecturer." He couldn't help but look at Wang Jin with a puzzled expression.

Wang Jin laughed and said, "This is a talisman that the former principal gave you. If you encounter any problems in the future, just reveal your identity as a member of the Central Conservatory of Music. As long as it's not a matter that violates the law, the Central Conservatory of Music will stand behind you and solve all your difficulties!"

Fang Yang felt sand in his eyes and rubbed them hard. "Thank you for your support, alma mater. I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
