Chapter 541: Substitute Teacher
The three young masters' topics covered all aspects, including business, entertainment, and each of them was knowledgeable, open-minded, and well-spoken.
Ordinary people in the entertainment industry don’t even have the chance to interrupt. Only Lan Xi and Lin Zhi, who have high status and rich experience, can join in the conversation.
Sitting at the table next to them were Fang Huaiyuan, Su Yi, Su Juan, and several professors from the School of Arts.
After the shocking hospitalization and calligraphy auction in the ancient capital, Su Yi and Yu Zhan became familiar with each other. In particular, Yu Zhan escorted Su Yi from the ancient capital back to the capital and took care of him meticulously along the way. At the Capital Airport, he also met Fang Huaiyuan and Su Juan who came to pick him up.
The three of them had a good impression of Yu Zhan.
When in the ancient capital, Su Yi thought Yu Zhan was a small boss. This idea continued until before the calligraphy auction. He was even worried that Liu Man's calligraphy would not be sold at a good price, so he and his son-in-law came together to act as "agents". But he didn't expect Yu Zhan to buy "Wu Xie" in full on the spot without blinking an eye. If he wasn't a rich second-generation, he would never have been able to do that.
Yu Zhan's image as a rich second-generation was thus fixed in Su Yi and Fang Huaiyuan's minds, but tonight's dinner once again broke their perception.
In fact, Fang Huaiyuan didn't want to attend this banquet. He is the principal, and his status and rules and regulations are there. He cannot attend private banquets casually, otherwise he will be targeted by people with ulterior motives, and it is easy for them to make a big deal out of it and put false accusations on him.
But Su Yi said, "If you are upright, you have nothing to fear. It's just a simple meal. You don't drink alcohol and you don't accept gifts. They are not the main guests of the banquet. Professors from the School of Arts will go, and more than 30 students will also be there. What is he afraid of? Even if it gets out, others will say that this president is approachable, amiable, and not arrogant."
...
...
Fang Huaiyuan was a good son-in-law who always obeyed his father-in-law. Even though he was still a little nervous, he still followed them.
Then he realized that he was not the protagonist at this banquet!
When he attended formal social events as the principal, he rarely sat in the main seat. Even if there were people of higher status than him, he would sit in the secondary main seat to accompany them.
It was strange that he was not unhappy about being assigned to a side door position. Instead, he felt more at ease. Besides, he did not have the feeling of being the center of attention and could simply eat his meal in peace, which felt quite good.
Yu Zhan arrived relatively late. He took the initiative to come over, greet Su Yi and the others, and introduced the guests sitting at the same table with him to them.
Su Yi and Fang Huaiyuan had already vaguely realized that Yu Zhan's identity was extraordinary. Then they heard Yu Zhan's conversation with the vice president of Huaguang Film and Television and the president of Jintao Group without any defense against anyone. The frank, casual, familiar and relaxed tone of voice, and the jokes the three of them made with each other, were not something ordinary friends could do.
Fang Huaiyuan asked Su Yi in a low voice at that time, "Who is Liu Man's boyfriend?"
Su Yi said, "I didn't know originally, but now I guess it's the same person as them!" He was referring to He Lushen and Tao Zhiwei.
Su Yi was still very surprised. He recalled Yu Zhan's words and deeds to him when he came back from the ancient capital. A young man from a wealthy family could be so humble and respectful! What a rare and precious character.
Seeing Liu Lan coming over, Su Yi first called her to his side.
Liu Lan followed her teacher's instructions, asked Ye Ziliang to wait for a moment, and walked to Su Yi.
"Xiao Man, I need your help with something," said Professor Su.
"Okay," Liu Lan said respectfully. She didn't need to know the content of Professor Su's favor. She just needed to agree first.
Su Yi was very satisfied with her attitude. Why did he like Liu Man the most as his apprentice? It was because she was calm and composed no matter what her status was, just like Yu Zhan.
"You will be the part-time teacher of the school's public elective course on regular script, starting in December and running until the final exam week."
Liu Lan asked in confusion, "Isn't it Senior Brother Li who is in charge of the regular script class?"
Senior Brother Li was one of Su Yi's doctoral students, majoring in regular script. Liu Lan had only met him a few times and was not familiar with him. Liu Lan had wanted to communicate with him more, but he seemed to dislike her and his attitude was always lukewarm. Over time, Liu Lan no longer wanted to stick with him.
