Chapter 40 Big Star [VIP]
Xue Zeyu smiled and shook his head: "I'm not the most promising one in the class."
"That's right, our Brother Fu doesn't agree..." Tang Yuan was halfway through cheering when Fu Shengyan hit him on the head.
"You're talking too much." Fu Shengyan rolled his eyes.
The students who came to toast noticed their little gesture and turned their gaze to Fu Shengyan and Lin Zhihua. He raised his glass and said, "Brother Fu, let me toast you. You and the class monitor are the role models of our class, from school uniforms to wedding dresses!"
"In the second semester of my senior year, he even asked me to help set up the confession scene. I thought it was a sure thing, but it ended up being cancelled right after school started." Someone sighed and ran over to clink glasses with Fu Shengyan. "I didn't expect Brother Fu to win over our class monitor after all."
Tang Yuan covered his mouth and secretly glanced at Fu Shengyan's face. He was enjoying the fun and stood up with his glass in hand. "Class monitor, Brother Fu, I'd like to toast you too. You two are the model couple of our class. True love is unbeatable!"
He wiped his eyes exaggeratedly as he spoke, "I remember back in high school, you swore to us that you'd never fall in love with the class monitor. And then, within a few days, you were obsessed with her, pestering her relentlessly. But you couldn't get her, and chasing after her ended in the crematorium... Love truly is the most wonderful thing in the world."
Fu Shengyan suppressed the urge to curse, forced a smile, and clinked glasses with him. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll talk to my uncle and aunt later and introduce you to some girlfriends so you can experience the taste of love."
"Brother Fu, I appreciate your kindness, but I was too talkative, so I'll drink two cups as punishment." Tang Yuan shrank his neck. When he thought of the pressure from his family to get married, he instantly became timid.
The classmates burst into laughter. Lin Zhihua shook her head helplessly. She quietly held Fu Shengyan's hand under the table.
"Brother Wang, nice to meet you! I'm Zhou Zhi, the manager of Yiming Group. I've had dinner with you before..." Zhou Zhi's loud laughter suddenly came from the next table.
When Lin Zhihua looked up, he saw Wang Qingyi smiling at him perfunctorily and cleverly changing his seat.
Zhou Zhi didn't take it seriously and turned to look at another person. "Ms. Li, the diamond necklace you're wearing today is really beautiful. Our company happens to be involved in jewelry and can get an internal price. I wonder if you're interested?"
Li Yasu rolled her eyes, unable to bear it any longer. She took a deep breath and forced a smile. "I'm just an ordinary student, still studying for a master's degree. I don't have any money. If you want to discuss business, why don't you go to that table?"
As she spoke, she nodded in Xue Zeyu's direction.
The embarrassment on Zhou Zhi's face flashed away, and Li Li immediately became anxious. She put the child down and walked over, hands on hips, stretching her neck to block Zhou Zhi. "Hey, Li Yasu, what do you mean by this? Are you looking down on us?"
Li Yasu shrugged and spread her hands: "I didn't say that. I understand that everyone has difficulties, and it's not something to be ashamed of."
Li Li understood the sarcasm in the words and her face flushed red. "If you say that again..."
Zhou Zhi smiled apologetically and pulled her aside, "Ms. Li is a top student. Here's my business card. You can contact me anytime you need me!"
Li Yasu didn't look at the business card and turned around to continue chatting with people.
Just when the atmosphere was getting a little awkward, the door to the banquet hall was suddenly pushed open and a commotion was heard from the door. Everyone present couldn't help but look over and saw a tall figure wearing a baseball cap and oversized sunglasses walking in.
"Sorry, the crew just finished work." The man took off his sunglasses, revealing a face that often appeared on the screen and major posters.
"Sister Yan, you're the last one to arrive." Lin Zhihua waved at her, "Come to our table. I saved a seat for you."
"Yan Jie?!" Li Li exclaimed, "Are you the famous star Yan Zhuyin?"
"What? You don't recognize me anymore?" Yan Jie laughed, her smile vaguely reminiscent of the tomboy she used to be. "I haven't changed that much, have I?"
The next second, exclamations broke out one after another in the private room.
"Sister Yan, you're not exaggerating! You've changed so much! It's like you've been remade from scratch."
"Who would have thought that I was actually in the same class as a famous star? No one would believe it if I told them!"
"Ms. Yan Zhuyin!" An excited voice suddenly interrupted. Zhou Zhi squeezed to the front, his face flushed. "I'm your loyal fan! I watch every one of your movies. Can you take a photo with me?"
Yan Jie smiled politely: "Thank you for your support."
She looked at him with some surprise. Who is this guy? He's so old and greasy. Which boy in their class has gained weight and become distorted?
A small notebook was suddenly stuffed into Yan Jie's hand. Yan Jie frowned slightly, and Zhou Zhi continued to talk excitedly: "Can you sign an autograph for me? I like yours very much..."
Yan Jie, holding a pen, interrupted him awkwardly: "Is it okay to sign with To? What's your name? It's changed so much that I can't remember it for a moment."
Li Yasu sneered and glanced at Yan Jie. It's normal that you don't have any impression of him. He is Li Li's husband.
Li Li's face turned red and white. She and Yan Jie didn't get along well at school, and her face became even uglier when she saw Yan Jie.
She squeezed forward and tried to pull Zhou Zhi, but Zhou Zhi didn't care and took out a business card from his pocket, "Miss Face."
Yan Jie symbolically accepted the business card and quickly signed her name. She glanced at Zhou Zhi and saw that he seemed to be trying to force his face close to hers for a photo. She quickly leaned sideways and looked at Lin Zhihua for help.
"Oh shit, this is rare. He's a big star, take a few more pictures!" Flash lights kept lighting up, and there were several shutter sounds in succession, which was dazzling. Yan Jie looked up and saw a young man and woman.
Her face changed, thinking that a passerby had broken in and taken a photo, and she subconsciously raised her hands to cover her face.
"No taking pictures." Lin Zhihua snatched Zhou Yan's phone and quickly deleted the photos with bad angles on the screen before she could react.
Without any hesitation, Fu Shengyan, after receiving Lin Zhihua's signal, also snatched Zhou Ming's phone, which was still on, and clicked to delete all the photos he had just taken.
Several photos disappeared from the album in an instant. Zhou Yan finally realized what was happening. She grabbed the phone and yelled, "Hey! Who the hell are you? Why are you meddling in other people's business? I took all these photos. Why did you delete them?"
Lin Zhihua glanced at her coldly: "This is a private occasion, no photos are allowed."
Zhou Yan was furious when she saw that the private photos of the celebrity she had taken with great difficulty were completely deleted. She cursed and raised her hand to slap the person in front of her.
Before the slap could land, his hand was stopped in mid-air.
Zhou Yan cried out in pain, feeling as if her wrist was clamped in a pair of iron pliers, unable to move. She struggled to raise her head, instinctively meeting Fu Shengyan's cold and heavy gaze. She felt an inexplicable chill creep up her spine, as if she had become a mouse being stared at by a falcon.
Zhou Yan's roar of anger and resentment instantly died down. Her lips trembled as she struggled to squeeze out a sentence: "You, you're a man... and you still want to hit a woman?"
"I, Fu Shengyan, have never said anything about not hitting women." Fu Shengyan looked at her pale face coldly. "Watch your mouth! If you dare touch a hair on my wife, I'll make your whole family spend the rest of their lives digging coal in Africa."
Her hand was shaken away, and Zhou Yan clearly saw the anger in his eyes. Her intuition told her that this man was not lying. She ignored the pain in her wrist and ran away in embarrassment.
Fu Shengyan frowned and wiped his left hand, as if he had touched something dirty. Disgust flashed across his eyes. He looked at the man who was still standing there in a daze with an expressionless face and said, "Get lost."
Zhou Ming's lips trembled. He could clearly feel the physical gazes from all directions focused on him. His face quickly turned pale and he ran out of the banquet hall in panic.
Lin Zhihua chuckled, breaking the eerie atmosphere in the banquet room.
She raised her hand and smoothed Fu Shengyan's fur: "Well done, I'll give you a chicken drumstick tonight."
Yan Jie took advantage of everyone's stunned silence to get away. She stood next to Lin Zhihua and was the first to speak, breaking the awkward silence: "Thank you, Lawyer Fu, your performance was very powerful!"
Xue Zeyu reacted and patted Yan Jie with a smile, "Today is a class reunion, don't let irrelevant people disturb everyone's interest. Come on, come on, the big star has been busy all morning and may not have had time to eat. Sit down first, let's continue playing music and dancing."
Everyone laughed. Li Yasu glanced at Li Li, whose face was pale, and felt quite relieved. Now that the two annoying guys were gone, she happily held up her glass to toast the teachers.
Being chased away by his younger siblings was like two slaps in the face. Zhou Zhi's face darkened. He gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone can act cool, but I still don't believe you can send people to Africa to dig coal!"
He pushed Li Li and urged, "Let's go to that table and toast. If we can curry favor with Xue Zeyu, even just sharing some of his soup will be enough to make us a fortune."
Their primary goal in attending the class reunion today was to get close to this classmate who was a millionaire internet celebrity. The big star was just a pleasant surprise. Zhou Yan and Zhou Ming, the two inconsiderate people, had offended him, and Zhou Zhi didn't dare to even think about it now.
Li Li hesitated a little, "Let's not go."
Zhou Zhi snorted coldly, "Are you scared? If he really had that much ability, would he be in the same school as you? And you still dare to say that you can go to Africa to dig coal? Only a fool would believe that! This is just a bluff. Let's go and apologize to Miss Yan now."
"Brother Fu, you're so handsome." Tang Yuan smiled and approached him. "It's just that human trafficking is illegal, we can't do it."
"I'll let them go voluntarily." Fu Shengyan didn't even look at him and slowly processed the shrimp in his hand.
"Alright, brother, stop acting. Isn't this the line from the skit 'After Rebirth, I Slap My Whole Family In The Face?'" Tang Yuan winked at him, mimicking his movements. "The lines are exactly the same. So authoritative, so authoritative! Brother Fu, with your looks and acting skills, if you don't become a lawyer, you can at least become an actor and win a Best Actor award."
"No." Fu Shengyan flatly refused. He placed the peeled shrimp in Lin Zhihua's bowl. "I want to go shopping with my wife openly. I'm different from a single guy like you."
"These words are somewhat hurtful." Tang Yuan looked resentful.
After everyone laughed, Xue Zeyu suddenly asked seriously, "Brother Fu, do you have any knowledge of intellectual property? Farmers in Yunnan and Guizhou often encounter trademark infringement issues. There are always people who see Yunnan and Guizhou's popularity and sell counterfeit goods, which affects the reputation of farmers."
He sighed as he spoke, the frown between his brows deepening.
Before Fu Shengyan could utter a word of "no", Lin Zhihua naturally declined for him. Before Xue Zeyu could even feel disappointed, he heard her change the subject: "Lawyer Zhao from Zhihua Law Firm specializes in intellectual property and has won many similar cases. How about introducing him to you?"
Xue Zeyu was overjoyed: "Sure! Thank you for your help, lawyer. Chen Zhong and I will treat you and the squad leader to a meal!"
I just introduced someone to you. What's there to thank me for? I don't even know if he's reliable.
Unexpectedly, Fu Shengyan had already been so quick to curry favor with Xue Zeyu. Li Li secretly complained and couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Isn't Lawyer Fu still profiting from the Du Qian case?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the table changed immediately.
"Du Qian?" Fu Shengyan was a little surprised.
Li Li said with disdain, "Tsk!" "Du Qian is such a fool! He's about to jump off a building, and he didn't even bother paying me back the hundred dollars he owed me in advance."
