Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 351 - 350 Suitable to be an Invisible Person
Chapter 351: Chapter 350 Suitable to be an Invisible Person
He Qiya looked at Four Eyes, feeling quite strange on the inside.
How could Su Mu, such a clever person, have a friend who not only seemed a bit stupid but also a bit wacky?
"Su Mu, your luck with the ladies is too good, isn’t it?"
"To have a School Beauty like Jiang Xinxuan as your girlfriend and then someone like Xia Shuya, a beauty, actively offering herself to you."
"Now even He Yuguang’s only daughter seems to have an unusual relationship with you."
"Su Mu, you’re not planning to monopolize all the beauties in Huadong City, are you?"
"At least leave a few beauties for your brothers to have as wives, right?"
"Why do I have a feeling that I’m about to be doomed to bachelorhood?"
Four Eyes pulled Su Mu aside to walk a few steps and whispered conspiratorially.
"What unusual relationship? Don’t talk nonsense."
"It’s my mom and He Yuguang’s wife who are good friends, and I guess you could say He Qiya and I are family friends."
Su Mu was not at all pleased with Four Eyes’ wild matchmaking.
He himself and He Qiya were quite innocent of any romantic entanglements, okay?
Of course, that was what Su Mu thought.
If you asked He Qiya, she would surely shake her head in denial.
Even if He Qiya couldn’t claim that she had a romantic relationship with Su Mu, she would definitely assert very firmly that she and Su Mu were good friends.
Who’s to say that good friends couldn’t develop into boyfriend and girlfriend?
"Also, your words are too exaggerated. What do you mean by monopolizing all the beauties of Huadong City?"
"I don’t have such grand interests."
Su Mu genuinely found Four Eyes’ words overly exaggerated.
Monopolizing all the beauties in Huadong City?
Even with Champion Physical Fitness from system check-ins, he probably couldn’t handle that, right?
In the olden days, even an emperor nominally had only three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines.
The number of beauties in Huadong City surely far surpassed that number.
Besides, Su Mu didn’t want to become the public enemy of all the young men in Huadong City.
Although he didn’t care about these things, he still had to think about some virtues.
Causing everyone to become bachelors would indeed hinder social development.
"Family friends? I thought the heiress of Xinghuan Entertainment had taken a liking to you."
Feeling somewhat disappointed, according to Four Eyes’ reasoning, He Qiya should be actively pursuing Su Mu.
Family friends?
Isn’t that just connections from the older generation?
Could it be that He Qiya is just that enthusiastic?
"But now I can rest assured that you don’t have the desire to monopolize all the beauties of Huadong City.
"Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to have you accompany me in search of my shadow girl."
Four Eyes had now regained some of his nature and started joking again.
If Four Eyes wasn’t confident in Su Mu, he wouldn’t have asked for Su Mu’s advice in the first place.
Nor would he have allowed Su Mu to join him in his search for the shadow girl.
Four Eyes knew that when he stood beside Su Mu, everyone’s attention would be on Su Mu.
But he also believed that Su Mu would definitely not be interested in the girl he liked.
"Alright, how much longer do you want to bask in the sun?"
Because of Four Eyes’ dawdling, up to now Su Mu and the others were still standing under the sun.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot."
"Su Mu, can you reintroduce everyone for me?"
Turning around, Four Eyes reverted to his normal tone.
"He Qiya, the young lady of Xinghuan Entertainment."
"Mu Youqing, my high school classmate, you can just call him Four Eyes."
Without any superfluous words, Su Mu simply reintroduced the two.
"Hello, I am Su Mu’s best friend from high school, you can call me Four Eyes just like Su Mu does."
Four Eyes extended his friendly right hand towards He Qiya.
Mu Youqing is Four Eyes’ given name, but his classmates got used to calling him by his nickname Four Eyes.
Four Eyes now finds the nickname quite pleasant to the ear.
If you called Four Eyes by his real name now, he would actually find it awkward.
Four Eyes didn’t receive the expected scene of a beauty reaching out to politely shake his hand.
"Hello, just call me He Qiya."
He Qiya didn’t seem to see Four Eyes’ outstretched right hand at all, merely nodding politely instead.
For He Qiya, shaking hands with a stranger was utterly out of the question.
He Qiya’s greeting was already a favor granted for Su Mu’s sake.
If it weren’t for Su Mu’s involvement, Four Eyes would have been greeting thin air by now.
"Hello..."
Looking at his own right hand hanging in mid-air, Four Eyes still felt a tad embarrassed.
Is he really that unappealing to a beauty?
Even a handshake gets rejected?
Four Eyes hadn’t even thought about taking advantage of a beauty, isn’t shaking hands just normal social interaction?
A little hurt settled in Four Eyes’ heart.
Four Eyes always believed he wasn’t unpopular; how come in front of Miss He, he was rejected outright?
Four Eyes didn’t know that He Qiya even greeting him was already quite generous.
If it were about being fastidious, He Qiya would probably be outright ignoring Four Eyes right now.
Realizing his act of etiquette wasn’t going to proceed, Four Eyes sheepishly withdrew his right hand.
After glancing at Su Mu, Four Eyes really wanted to ask, "Is Miss He always this haughty?"
Su Mu just curled the corner of his mouth, saying nothing.
Su Mu couldn’t exactly tell Four Eyes in front of He Qiya that she held the title of the Ice Mountain Beauty, could he?
Saying that might seem a bit too disparaging to He Qiya.
After all, in Su Mu’s view, He Qiya had been trying hard to fit into society lately.
"Su Mu, let’s go inside."
Today wasn’t the first time He Qiya had said this to Su Mu.
Now that the parking issue was resolved and Su Mu’s friend had arrived, He Qiya felt that it wouldn’t be appropriate for Su Mu to keep standing under the sun anymore.
"Four Eyes, let’s go."
Without any intention of addressing Four Eyes, Su Mu called his pitiable friend along.
Today was the day Four Eyes was supposed to visit someone at Xinghuan Entertainment; there was no point in Su Mu and He Qiya going in alone.
"Okay."
Four Eyes had also realized that getting Miss He to pay him any attention was almost impossible.
Su Mu’s invitation gave Four Eyes a way out.
Gratefully glancing at Su Mu, Four Eyes followed Su Mu and He Qiya towards the entrance of Xinghuan Entertainment.
"Miss He, Mr. Su, please take your time."
Watching the trio heading for the company’s doors, the security guard bowed and loudly saw them off.
Without the need for introductions, the security guard had already figured out that the handsome guy with the Ferrari was named Su.
As for Mr. Su’s friend, the guard really hadn’t committed his name to memory.
The guard had only heard Mr. Su calling him Four Eyes repeatedly.
But the guard couldn’t exactly address him as Mr. Four or Mr. Four Eyes, could he?
Since it was too hard to listen to, the security guard simply skipped it.
As a result, Four Eyes felt he was particularly suited to be an invisible person today.
"Miss, Mr. Su, I will definitely take good care of Mr. Su’s car."
The three people who had already walked several steps away heard the security guard suddenly come out with this statement.
Without turning back, Su Mu knew his car was not parked in the parking lot, but it was still parked on the open space in front of the entrance of Xinghuan Entertainment.
It wouldn’t cause any trouble, nor would it affect other vehicles coming in and out.
Besides, Su Mu’s car was already locked, and there was no need for the security guard to keep an eye on it.
If luxury cars didn’t have locks, and needed someone to watch over them, Su Mu felt Ferrari might as well close its doors.
Feeling it somewhat unnecessary, Su Mu naturally did not bother responding to the security guard’s off-the-cuff remark.
He Qiya also subconsciously looked at Su Mu first.
Seeing that Su Mu showed no reaction, He Qiya didn’t turn back either.
If the security guard wanted to show off, let him do so; He Qiya would not care about such a trivial matter.
Out of the three, only Four Eyes was the most frustrated.
Being ignored by He Qiya was bad enough.
When the three of them left, the security guard had also forgotten about him.
Four Eyes knew he was far inferior to Su Mu.
Not to mention appearance, even in terms of family background, Four Eyes couldn’t compare with the current Su Mu.
But if he didn’t compare himself to Su Mu, Four Eyes was also a standard rich second-generation.
Why was even a security guard showing such disdain for him?
Earlier they wouldn’t let him park his car here, and now they were actively offering to watch Su Mu’s car?
I mean, does that car parked over there really need watching?
In Four Eyes’ view, it was totally unnecessary.
In the end, no one in the trio turned back.
Only the security guard was left, stretching his neck and sending the three off with his gaze.
To be precise, the security guard was sending off two people, Su Mu and He Qiya.
Even though Four Eyes’ build was prominent, in the eyes of the security guard, he practically didn’t exist.
"Su Mu, where do you want to start looking for the person?"
"Should we start directly from the first floor, or...?"
"The first floor houses the most basic signed performers and some unsigned trainees of Xinghuan Entertainment."
He Qiya originally didn’t know much about her family’s company.
Having crammed the information yesterday while she was preparing in advance with her mother, He Qiya studied hard.
He Qiya thought about how she would be guiding Su Mu and his friend through Xinghuan Entertainment to find someone the next day.
She couldn’t possibly be clueless at that time, right?
Wouldn’t that make Su Mu feel she was dispensable?
He Qiya definitely didn’t want to be seen as such in Su Mu’s eyes.
So, yesterday, He Qiya was quite studious.
Beyond touring the company with her mother and meeting all the middle and senior managers.
He Qiya also made a thorough study of Xinghuan Entertainment.
At the very least, she was crystal clear about the categorization of personnel at Xinghuan Entertainment.
"It’s not me looking for someone; it’s him."
Su Mu felt He Qiya had addressed the wrong person.
It was Four Eyes who came looking for someone today, something Su Mu had made very clear in WeChat the day before.
"I know it’s your friend looking for someone, but where do you think we should start looking first?"
He Qiya indicated that she had not misunderstood; it was indeed Su Mu’s friend who was coming to Xinghuan Entertainment to find someone, specifically the little chubby guy called Four Eyes.
This detail was crystal clear in He Qiya’s mind.
But He Qiya felt this had nothing to do with her at all.
He Qiya’s presence in Xinghuan Entertainment was solely because of Su Mu.
If it weren’t for Su Mu needing to come to Xinghuan Entertainment, He Qiya wouldn’t be here in the first place.
"Shall we start from the first floor, Four Eyes, what do you think?"
He Qiya was so adamant about asking for Su Mu’s opinion that Su Mu didn’t want to argue with her anymore.
Su Mu thought that He Qiya seemed to have changed a lot, but perhaps deep down she was still very resistant to interacting with others.
Su Mu attributed He Qiya’s behavior to her personality.
Because to He Qiya, Four Eyes was a complete stranger.
Naturally, with He Qiya’s personality, it wasn’t possible for her to have any interactions with Four Eyes.
The nickname ’Ice Mountain Beauty’ was never given for no reason.
Apart from being a lot different around Su Mu, He Qiya had changed a lot in other ways as well.
"Sure, I think the girl from behind isn’t likely to be a regular employee of Xinghuan Entertainment."
Four Eyes nodded, feeling that starting from the first floor was a very good idea.
According to He Qiya, the first floor also had many artists who hadn’t been signed yet.
They were akin to probationary employees of other companies.
Four Eyes thought it highly likely that the girl from behind whom he was looking for belonged to this category.
If the girl from behind was already a star, she wouldn’t be entering and leaving Xinghuan Entertainment alone.
Stars generally have assistants or the like.
Even without understanding stars, Four Eyes had seen enough on television.
Yesterday, the girl from behind had left Xinghuan Entertainment alone, with no one else following her.
Moreover, Four Eyes had never seen the girl from behind on television or in entertainment news.
This made Four Eyes even more convinced that his girl from behind wasn’t a star yet.
Four Eyes felt this situation was very advantageous for him.
If the girl from behind he took a liking to had already become a star, Four Eyes knew it would be even more challenging to pursue her.
"The girl from behind? Su Mu, your friend can’t possibly be unclear on what the person he’s looking for looks like, can he?"
"If we’re only relying on a silhouette to find someone, that’s going to be quite problematic."
Hearing Four Eyes repeatedly mention "the girl from behind," He Qiya felt that things were getting tricky.
To begin with, there were a lot of employees at Xinghuan Entertainment, not to mention the countless well-known and lesser-known stars.
Searching for someone in Xinghuan Entertainment was already a daunting task.
Let alone that Su Mu’s friend was now only looking for a silhouette.
Isn’t that like looking for a needle in a haystack?
He Qiya thought Su Mu’s friend was really unreliable.
But this didn’t really matter to He Qiya.
Whether they could find the person or not was utterly unimportant to He Qiya.
What mattered was that He Qiya could stay by Su Mu’s side.
So, He Qiya’s reaction was purely out of curiosity.
He Qiya wondered how much courage Su Mu’s friend must have to try to find someone in Xinghuan Entertainment based on a silhouette alone.
"The girl from behind is just a nickname Four Eyes has for the girl he’s interested in; Four Eyes has seen her face."
After a brief explanation, Su Mu also understood why He Qiya would react so surprised.
If Su Mu didn’t know the full story, he would certainly share He Qiya’s thoughts.
Looking for someone based solely on a silhouette?
That would be nothing short of a fool’s errand.
Luckily, Four Eyes wasn’t that unreliable.
It was purely a false alarm.
